Chapter 533: Chapter 375: Court Session! The Second Trial! [Double-Length, Seeking Monthly Votes!]
The reporters nearby were slightly surprised, the face seemed familiar, but looking closely, finally....
"Someone from the Dong Clan!?"
A reporter’s pupils suddenly constricted, taking a deep breath in shock.
With these words, the people around also hurriedly looked over.
"The Dong Clan? Where is the Dong Clan?"
The Lanshan Dong Clan may not be known by ordinary people, but the local reporters in Qingshi City certainly know them!
After all, whatever activity there is in Qingshi City, the Dong Clan is involved, be it the commercial street, donations, or even city planning.
They have heard the word ’Dong Clan’ so many times their ears have become calloused.
Because of this, they have meticulously researched them, immediately understanding a glimpse of the Dong Clan’s power.
Assets worth tens of billions, a real ’conglomerate’!
But... what does the case have to do with the Dong Clan!?
Everyone furrowed their brows, not understanding why someone from the Dong Clan appeared in this case’s trial.
Of course.
The Dong Clan’s members clearly wouldn’t answer these questions.
"How long until court starts?"
The elderly face of Dong Tianbao ignored the chaotic environment, he spoke expressionlessly to the people around him.
Upon hearing.
Dong Jian quickly leaned over and whispered: "Ten minutes...."
Ten minutes....
Ten minutes later, the second trial will begin, and then, the intricacies of this case will be fully revealed!
And what exactly did Dong Feiyu do to make Lin Fuqiang so furious...
Will also be known to them!
Dong Tianbao remained expressionless, showing no emotion.
If the matter isn’t severe, Dong Tianbao still wouldn’t want to give up this son.
After all, he has raised him for twenty-five years, an old age child, the emotions are really deep!
But to speak back.
This is based on the matter not being severe!
If Dong Feiyu indeed committed some calamity that even the Dong Clan couldn’t bear, that would change Dong Tianbao’s decision....
Somewhere in his mind.
A few days ago, Xu Liang’s words echoed continuously in Dong Tianbao’s mind, lingering.
Dong Tianbao’s breathing gradually became heavy.
Until....
....
"Squeak~!"
While occasional discussions arose in the courtroom, a sound suddenly rang out, drawing everyone’s gaze.
The main door of the court opened.
"Everyone rise!"
A voice appeared beside the ear, everyone instinctively stood up.
The next moment.
Several middle-aged men appearing authoritative without anger, dressed in judge attire, emerged at the entrance.
They had stern expressions, eyes showing authority, their gaze like a boulder weighing on everyone’s chest, making it hard to breathe.
Senior Judge Zhao Yi withdrew his gaze.
Leading the team expressionlessly to the bench, he slightly organized some documents before taking his seat.
As he sat down.
Only then did the audience in the hearing seats gradually sit down.
Looking at the people present, Zhao Yi took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled.
Yes.
The Sanma Village shooting case, the second trial is presided over by him as the chief judge!
No choice.
Firstly, he is a court judge from the Criminal Division One; the case belongs to the Criminal Division One for trial.
Secondly, the case is big enough and complex enough!
Since the ban on guns began, this isn’t the only shooting case, but most are quite straightforward, either revenge killing or armed robbery, nothing too complex, regular rulings suffice.
However, Sanma Village is different.
The victim was a thirteen-year-old child, just this point instantly changes the nature!
Additionally, Lv Xiong’s mental state, his confession attitude, and the behavior of the defense lawyer, all make the case increasingly complicated!
Thus, the presiding judge must have an adequate background and capability to undertake it.
As to why Zhao Yi....
The Qingshi City Medicine Man case’s first trial ended under him, Zhao Yi had time, and additionally... a rich resume!
"Why does it feel like this has happened before...."
At the bench.
Zhao Yi expressed emotion on his face.
Forced to take the case, forced to conduct the lawsuit, perfectly completing, enhancing his resume, becoming the most reputable judge in the Criminal Division One, when there’s a big case he’s the first sought after....
"I seem to remember when I was at the Middle Court, the same process applied?"
Zhao Yi looked at the audience below, his emotions seemed a bit absent-minded.
Why is it upon reaching the High Court... it’s still the same process!?
Zhao Yi sensed he was being set up.
Until the judge beside him nudged him, Zhao Yi only then came back to his senses.
He turned his head to look towards the other, but the other said nothing, merely slightly raised his head, indicating him to look towards the audience.
Zhao Yi paused slightly, turned his head to look, seeing the Dong Clan people seated in the hearing seats, he instantly frowned.
"People from the Dong Clan?"
"And... Dong Tianbao? He came to court himself!?"
The judge beside him said: "The second trial involves Dong Feiyu, who is Dong Tianbao’s only son; it’s normal for him to come."
Upon hearing this.
Zhao Yi furrowed his brow into a knot, his mind filled with countless thoughts, finally, he withdrew his gaze and ignored the other.
In a courtroom, he would never compromise with anyone!
Unless the other person presents evidence.
Thinking of this, Zhao Yi made no more hesitation and directly struck the gavel.
"Prosecution, defense, both parties please enter the court and stand by for hearing!"
When the words fell.
In the next moment, everyone remained solemn, silent, waiting quietly.
Not long after, the two doors on either side of the scene opened.
"Squeak~"
Wearing prosecutor attire, Huang Ren led his subordinates and walked in slowly.
His demeanor was composed, facing the High Court without any stage fright, he merely adjusted his clothing slightly and then took his seat at the prosecution side.
However, his young subordinates seemed somewhat tense at this moment, but not overly constrained.
On the defense side.
Xu Liang was much simpler.
He directly took a seat alone.
Due to club considerations, he didn’t bring Yang Ruoxi and Su Yu to the second trial, to prevent any safety issues for them.
