Qian Chen knew that the copying process in Li Zhengyi's office was relatively slow, but he didn't expect it to be so slow. Five minutes had passed, and not even half of the copies had been made. Just like that, Li Zhengyi had to restart the machine from time to time, thinking it was to recharge the machine. .
Qian Chen waited anxiously, then picked up the copied case and started reading it.
It doesn't matter if you don't see it, you will be shocked when you see it.
Even if this uncle's daughter was not wrongly accused, she just stole a mobile phone worth over 4,000 yuan. How could she be sentenced to two years in prison?
Qian Chen took out his mobile phone and checked it. He was really punished.
Logically speaking, this is impossible. After all, deaf-mute people are a vulnerable group. The judge will be more or less merciful because of this, so how can he impose the maximum punishment?
Unless Lu Xiaoyue had a bad attitude, yelled at the court, etc., Qian Chen really couldn't imagine the reason why the judge had no sympathy for a deaf-mute girl.
Qian Chen then looked down, his brows furrowing more and more as he looked down.
Judge: Lu Xiaoyue, have you confessed to your theft?
Lu Xiaoyue: I didn’t steal it. I took it when no one wanted it.
Client: Judge, she said something, and I made a phone call at the door of the store. After I finished the call, I put my cell phone into my coat pocket, then I took off my clothes and hung them up, and never touched them again from the beginning to the end. Cell phone. When I was leaving and putting on my coat, I realized that my cell phone was missing.
Lu Xiaoyue: So what if I stole it?
Client: The information in my mobile phone is very important. As long as you return the mobile phone to me, I will not pursue it with you.
Lu Xiaoyue: I have sold the mobile phone.
Party: Huh? Who was sold to? You tell me how much you sold it for, and I'll buy it back twice.
Lu Xiaoyue: I don’t know. I just found a place and sold it. Together with other people’s things I stole on the road, I sold them for a total of 10,000 yuan.
Client: I will give you 20,000 yuan and you can get your phone back to me. As long as you can get it back to me and ensure that the contents on it are not deleted, I will not hold you accountable.
Lu Xiaoyue: Why should I help you find it? I can't get it back either. I already flashed your phone before selling it.
Client: Judge, this... this... I demand a heavy sentence for her! There was too much important information in my phone, and she actually lost it for me. And what kind of attitude does she have? If I hadn't given her a chance again and again because she was deaf-mute and could speak so easily? Now I have changed my mind. Even if she can return my phone to me, I will pursue it to the end!
Lu Xiaoyue: If you want to pursue it, then pursue it. Who are you trying to scare? It's best to give me the death penalty this time, otherwise I will follow you when you come out and steal your things. Judging from your appearance, you must be a rich man, right? There must be a lot of valuable things at home, right? I just don’t know if I have children. You know, I like children the most.
Party: What did she say? How dare you threaten me? Am I so old that I was frightened? If you have the ability, just come... Your Honor, you heard those words just now. Is this the attitude a deaf-mute girl should have? If you give a lighter sentence because she is a deaf-mute girl, I will have no choice but to sue you as well.
…
Seeing this, Qian Chen felt a headache. What Lu Xiaoyue said was really irritating. Qian Chen wanted to teach this unfilial daughter a lesson for the deaf-mute uncle across the paper.
Qian Chen estimated that Lu Xiaoyue probably had some serious illness, otherwise she wouldn't have done such a thing.
While feeling sorry for the deaf-mute uncle, Qian Chen had a flash of inspiration and suddenly realized something. He asked Li Zhengyi: "Director Li, I want to ask you something. You said that a deaf-mute like this went to court? How did they confess their crimes? How did they communicate with the judge and the parties since they couldn't speak?"
"Oh, this, of course, we need to hire a lawyer who can speak sign language. The lawyer will act as a translator and express the meaning of both parties and the court." Li Zhengyi paused and continued to add: "But a lawyer like this is more It is rare. Firstly, there are relatively few cases involving deaf-mute people. Secondly, these special groups generally have low incomes and cannot afford much lawyer fees. As the situation goes on, naturally no lawyer will be willing to do so. I dedicated my free time to learning sign language to help the deaf and mute.”
Qian Chen frowned, and then asked again: "If the lawyer acts as the interpreter, then for the deaf-mute, wouldn't it be the judge who represents the authority, but the lawyer who can sign language?"
Li Zhengyi handed the last page of the case to Qian Chen, was stunned, and then said: "What does Mayor Qian mean?"
"Director Li, think about it. Deaf-mute people can't hear the judge talking to another client. They can only interpret through a lawyer who knows sign language. The same goes for the other way round. The judge doesn't know what the deaf-mute person wants to express. , and it can only be translated by a lawyer who knows sign language.
The lawyer who knows sign language separates the two sides, so doesn’t he become the authoritative representative in the middle who can turn his hands to make clouds and rain? "
Li Zhengyi reinstalled the original documents of the case and carefully tasted Qian Chen's words: "Mayor Qian, you are right, in theory it is like this.
But these lawyers who know sign language will not do this. Firstly, most of them know sign language because their relatives or friends are deaf-mute. They do not get much remuneration for taking the cases of deaf-mute people. I picked it up out of sympathy.
Secondly, in order to ensure an open and transparent trial and protect the rights of the parties, the People's Court must conduct audio and video recordings during court hearings. This is the People's Court's obligation.
Under such circumstances, how dare these lawyers who know sign language dare to act recklessly? "
Qian Chen nodded thoughtfully, and then asked again: "Director Li, could you please help me make a copy of the audio and video materials of Lu Xiaoyue's trial?"
After hearing this, Li Zhengyi couldn't help but frowned. It's okay to use Case Zong, but if you ask me to copy this for you, I'm afraid it's a bit illegal.
"Oh, Mayor Qian, I think you are overthinking, right? I know you want to redress the injustice of the deaf-mute uncle, but didn't I just say that? No matter how unscrupulous those lawyers who know sign language are, Dare to do anything in court."
Qian Chen naturally understood Li Zhengyi's difficulties, but after reading the case, Qian Chen realized that as long as Lu Xiaoyue was not a mental patient, it would be absolutely impossible for her to say such stupid things in court.
Is Lu Xiaoyue a psychopath?
Obviously not.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for the deaf-mute uncle to praise his daughter for being sensible since she was a child, and why he would go out of his way to complain to her.
Coupled with the fact that the deaf-mute uncle wanted to borrow money from a lawyer to save his daughter, Qian Chen became more and more sure that there might be something fishy that he didn't know about.
Qian Chen took out a supermarket shopping card from his wallet and quietly stuffed it into Li Zhengyi's hand.
"Director Li, it's just a convenience. I have just arrived in Huanglin Town from the county party committee office. If this petition case is not handled well, I am afraid that my former colleagues will laugh at me.
Director Li just thinks of it as a favor to my little brother. If it can be useful to me in the future, just ask. "
Li Zhengyi was stunned for a moment, then raised his eyes to look at Zhang Lin and Hua Xiangrong. However, the moment the two women saw Qian Chen taking out the card, they turned their backs and looked out the window.
Seeing this scene, Li Zhengyi quickly put it away regardless of what card he was holding.
"Oh, Mayor Qian, logically I can't copy this audio and video data to you, but who said we are friends? Since we are friends, it's hard for me to refuse, right?
Give me a USB flash drive, and I'll copy it to you now. But this is only a one-time thing, and it won't happen next time. "
Qian Chen quickly nodded his thanks, then took out the USB flash drive and handed it to Li Zhengyi.
Li Zhengyi completed the operation of dividing five by two in three strokes. Qian Chen thanked him again before leaving.
As soon as she got in the car, Zhang Lin frowned and scolded: "Qian Chen, why did you just give Director Li a card?"
Qian Chen replied confidently: "Didn't you just realize that they told us clearly that it would be interesting enough to investigate the case for us? Don't even think about the video data? How can you get the video data without taking out the card? "
"Isn't it just film and television materials? If we go through the procedures, we can get them back justifiably."
After hearing this, Qian Chen explained: "You can get it back, but that's not how it works.
Think about it, you come to ask someone for help, and they help, but then you have to ask someone to do another bigger favor. But they don’t help you because they have concerns, so you go directly to the people above to suppress the matter. Forcing people to help? What do people think? Can you be happy?
What matters in the officialdom is that a person is worldly and would rather spend a small amount of money to be a good person than offend others.
You help me this time, and I'll help you next time. Isn't this relationship based on helping?
Don't look at the righteous way he just said it would not be an exception. Do you believe that with the relationship just now, what kind of files and video storage will be given the green light for us to adjust next? "
Zhang Lin thought about Qian Chen's fallacy for a while. Although it seemed like that, she still didn't like it.
"We are eating from the government, and we can handle things with confidence. Isn't it better to be straightforward? Why do we have to make all these twists and turns? The atmosphere of this officialdom is ruined by people like you."
Qian Chen looked innocent: "How can my little money affect the atmosphere of the officialdom? You really praise me too much.
But having said that, your aloof and straightforward character also needs to change. Don’t look like you hate evil when you see others engaging in sophistication. Do you know what existence is and is reasonable?
What's more, what we call officialdom is actually about worldliness, something passed down by our ancestors for thousands of years and cannot be thrown away. "
"Humph, that's ridiculous!"
Zhang Lin snorted coldly and ignored Qian Chen. Instead, she and Hua Xiangrong looked at the case seriously in the back row. When Qian Chen looked at it just now, they were waiting on the old copy machine. Well, naturally there is no chance to see the case.
