Chapter 448: The Death of the Universe
The Sith case has finally begun. During the pre-trial, Sith's lawyer He Ying completely denied the charges charged by the prosecution.
The first trial was held three days later. Prosecutors Sima Luo and Wang Lei made a big move shortly after the trial and asked Yingzi, a tainted witness. Yingzi spent half an hour explaining the structure of the three-legged cat team, the nature of the members and the content of the work. The prosecution summarized the link of evidence of Garan in stages, and the email sent by the dead gangster Louis to the Sith, it can be proved that the Sith was the mastermind of the kidnapping Yun Yin.
Yingzi took a lot of time to testify, and the prosecution took a lot of time to explain the case, which led to the long trial, and the judge announced an adjournment.
In the second trial, He Ying asked a witness Bai Luo to come up with. Bai Luo first explained her identity. She was once a member of the Three-legged Cat Team. The prosecution did not let this go. The prosecution prepared countless problems to make things difficult for Bai Luo, intending to eliminate Bai Luo's member of the Three-legged Cat Team. Bai Luo and He Ying did not know that it was Cao Keng, so they jumped in directly. Bai Luo successfully proved that he was once a member of the Three-legged Cat Team.
At this time, Wang Lei summarized: "Through the various details explained by the witness, we can confirm that everything the devilish witness said is true and credible."
Wang Lei’s questioning Bai Luo’s problem was exactly the problem that Yingzi explained when she first testified. Since Bai Luo did not appear in the first court, Bai Luo didn’t know what Yingzi said. In addition, He Ying’s business level was not at the top and did not pay attention to Yingzi’s testimony, the accused was led by the nose in the second court trial and confirmed Yingzi’s testimony.
However, Bai Luo is a witness of the defense after all. Although Yingzi's testimony is confirmed, she still has the power to turn the world around. So I will deny one of the contents of Yingzi's testimony: "In the Three-legged Cat Dongtang Operation, our team never had any contact with Louis. Even before that, the people in our team did not know Louis at all, including the Sith, did not know that there was Louis."
He Ying: "According to the CA proof, Louis belongs to the official employee of the CA, and the witness Yingzi and others belong to a private employee named the tutor. The two are completely different in nature. This case should be awaiting the conclusion of the investigation by the United States, and should not accuse Mr. Sith, who has nothing to do with the kidnapping case."
Wang Lei asked: "Defense, do you think the Sith is a private employee of the mentor or an official employee of the United States? Can you provide an accurate identity positioning?"
He Ying replied: "The prosecution, I have said it three times. Mr. Sith is an official employee of Ca and took a big leave because of his wife's death. In the next two years, he helped and assisted a friend in investigating the Hyena, commonly known as the Three-legged Cat Project. After the Three-legged Cat Project, Mr. Sith returned to work at Ca and was transferred to Dongtang for work."
Wang Lei lowered his head: "Come on?"
Sima Luo nodded and stood up: "Judge, I want to ask the witness Miss Bai a few questions."
Judge: "Yes."
Sima Luo walked to Bai Luo and asked, "According to the defense lawyer, when the Three-legged Cat plan, are you and the Sith related to the superiors and subordinates?"
Bai Luo nodded: "Yes, Sith is my senior. He needs someone familiar with Dong Tang to help collect some information about hyenas. After the tripod cat program was over, I left the team."
Sima Luo asked: "It is said that you fell in love with someone Cao during the tripod cat plan?"
Bai Luo glanced at Cao Yun at the seat of the trial: "Yes."
Sima Luo asked: "Do you spend a lot of time together?"
Bai Luo was stunned: "Is this related to the case?"
Sima Luo said: "I think you have no time to take care of your work at the same time when you fall in love with someone Cao... No, you should say that. Because you fall in love with someone Cao, the Sith's dissatisfaction. Is there such a situation?"
Bai Luo shook his head: "No."
Sima Luo: "Then does your team monitor Cao's cell phone?"
Bai Luo didn't know how to answer, Sima Luo looked at Sith: "Can Mr. Sith answer this question? During their relationship, do you monitor Cao's cell phone?"
Sith said: "This has nothing to do with the case, I refuse to answer."
"Okay, I'll change the question." Sima Luo said: "Miss Bai, is your relationship with Sith purely a work relationship, or a relationship between men and women?"
Bai Luo replied: "Work relationship."
Sima Luo asked: "Do you have a working relationship with Miss Yingzi or a personal relationship?"
Bai Luo: "She is my best friend."
He Ying answered: "Ms. Bai would rather betray her best friend... No, no...Ms. Bai believes that true is more important than friendship, which is completely in line with the spirit of the law. It further shows that everything Miss Bai said is very credible."
Sima Luo asked with a smile: "Lawyer He, would you rather put your best friend in jail for a colleague?"
He Ying: "Oppose, prosecutor, you are putting psychological pressure on the witness."
Sima Luo said: "I'll change another question. What is the purpose of Ms. Bai's testimony in court? Is it really upholding the truth?"
After three Tai Chi times, Sima Luo threw out the trap problem.
Bai Luo replied: "Yes."
Sima Luo said: "I also like the truth. In the Dong Er case, Cao, that is, your boyfriend, was going to attend a hearing, but he was in a car accident, which made him unable to attend the hearing. Do you know who planned the car accident?"
Bai Luo: "..."
Sima Luo: "It is also the Dong Er case. Nangong Tengfei's lawyer Ben and Cao jointly handle the case, but on the eve of the trial, Cao was kidnapped and placed under house arrest for thirteen days. Do you know who did it?"
Bai Luo: "I'm sorry, I don't know."
Sima Luo returned to the charge and took the materials submitted by Wang Lei: "You don't know, someone knows it. In other words, although you are in the three-legged cat team, you don't know many things. You are simply a marginal person. So your testimony is completely invalid."
Sima Luo introduced: "This material is a secret exchange between your team and Dongtang officials after the Three-legged Cat Project was over. Your team admitted to creating a car accident and putting your boyfriend under house arrest. The purpose is to prevent him from appearing in court. In other words, you have never been exposed to the core materials of your team. May I ask the jury, how convincing can such testimony be?"
Sima Luo said: "As a prosecutor, I have the obligation to tell you that the channels for my access to this material are not legal. You can completely deny that there are secret communications, or that you can deny that the attack and kidnap your boyfriend. I just remind you that when you answer these questions, please face the jury and say loudly: You are sticking to the truth." It is very aggressive. After months of studying at Gaoshan Law Firm, Sima Luo has made great progress.
Bai Luo did not answer.
Sima Luo said: "Okay, at least, Cao was your ex-boyfriend at that time, and at least Cao was not hurt. Now I want to ask a very important question, please listen. Cao was attacked by the bandit Zhang Ziqiao in a temple, and the attack caused a member of the security team to die. May I ask: Did you know about this before the attack?"
As soon as these words came out, Cao Yun from the hearing table looked at Bai Luo in surprise. Not only Cao Yun, but also the jury, were in an uproar, and even the judge sat upright.
Sima Luo waited for a while and asked: "Miss Bai, did you know about this before the attack?"
He Ying: "Oppose, the prosecution's issue has nothing to do with this case."
Before Sima Luo could speak, the judge said: "The objection is invalid, and the witness must answer this question."
Cao Yun really didn't know about this. He believed there was a more reasonable explanation, but he felt very uncomfortable. What Cao Yun didn't know was that the Sith deliberately hid Bai Luo, and Yingzi privately told Bai Luo about it. Bai Luo and Yingzi went to the temple together, but when they arrived, they found that the police closed the road and mistakenly thought that the police had prepared. In fact, the police were indeed prepared, but they didn't know that the attacker was Zhang Ziqiao.
Sima Luo did not implement the plan to discuss in advance. Obviously, Wang Lei knew about this. Wang Lei and Sima Luo cooperated well. All this was hidden from Cao Yun, and it seemed that he also sent a signal that Cao Yun, you can't control the judiciary or anyone.
Cao Yun didn't care. He never thought of turning Wang Lei into his loyal dog. If so, Wang Lei would not have the value to use. Only when Wang Lei clearly opposed him in his attitude would Wang Lei gain the trust of the procuratorial system. He was confident that he would have an absolute advantage in socializing or confronting with Wang Lei.
While everyone was waiting, Bai Luo spoke hard: "As the prosecutor said, I am indeed a marginal person in the Three-legged Cat Team and I know very little information. I think it will be difficult to prove anything even if I testify in court. I hope the court can revoke my witness status."
When Zhang Ziqiao appeared in Bai Menglou, the great butler of the Oriental Mountain House, Cao Yunkeng, the Sith hoped to take advantage of this opportunity to enter the interior of the Oriental Villa and obtain information, so he intercepted the information of Zhang Ziqiao's attack. At the same time, considering the relationship between Bai Luo and Cao Yun, he concealed the situation at that time from Bai Luo.
Bai Luo's first choice: saying that he did not know the information about Zhang Ziqiao's attack would become a live cross-examination between Yingzi and Bai Luo. Bai Luo knew that he could not stand the confrontation with Yingzi. The second choice was saying that he knew the information about Zhang Ziqiao's attack, and that would be a big trouble. Everyone in the East Tang Dynasty knew who Zhang Ziqiao was. The consequences would be unimaginable if they admitted it.
In the end, Bai Luo had to revoke the testimony, but the judge did not give up and asked a few questions. Bai Luo refused to answer all questions, saying that if necessary, the case could be filed. She would not accompany her today. If there are any questions, please contact her lawyer.
Since the most important witness gave up his testimony, there was no other evidence that needed to be tried in this case. The judge announced that it had entered a half-hour recess, which was the time for both parties to prepare for a closing statement. According to the trial, after Bai Luo revoked the testimony, the prosecutor's sexual evidence showed everything, and the Sith could not escape from the crime.
However, the instructor obviously doesn't care about the rules of the game. From his various behaviors, it can be seen that he cares more about the result than the process. His behavior is much more radical than the real one.
When Sith went to the lounge, she was stabbed in the arm by a woman who passed by. After arriving at the lounge, Sith suddenly fell into a coma, and was next door three feet away. He Ying immediately contacted the ambulance and the scene was in chaos. Most people thought: the instructor killed someone to silence him. When Sith was already in jail, Sith's existence was as dangerous as Yingzi's existence and had to be removed.
The ambulance flew towards the hospital with almost no vital signs. The court sent two policemen to drive to the hospital with the ambulance. Three minutes after the two cars set off, another ambulance arrived at the court, but encountered the embarrassment of no one being received. The emergency doctor in the car asked and contacted the person who called the police by phone. He Ying hurriedly explained to the police officer. The police officer at the scene knew that the Sith had run away as soon as he heard it.
An hour later, the police found the abandoned ambulance, which was empty. The nurse, driver, doctor, and Sith disappeared like air.
Five days later, after the police confirmed that Sith fled for fear of crime, the sentence was pronounced in absentia in this case: Sith was convicted of the crime of kidnapping and other crimes, and was sentenced to 20 years of punishment. Sith also became a wanted criminal in the national sentence, so it was impossible for him to appear in front of everyone publicly again.
The case seemed to have come to an end, but Bai Luo caused big trouble. The judicial department arrested Bai Luo three times regarding Zhang Ziqiao's case. The matter was exposed by the media again, and the Internet condemned the Universe Group. The interim board of directors believed that Bai Luo was not suitable to serve as the Universe president at present, and Bai Sushen agreed, so he asked the vice president to act as the first president.
Universe held a press conference, and the acting president announced the decision of the board of directors: to remove Bailuo Universe Group from its position as president, and it will take effect.
Bai Su never expected that after Bai Luo left, the universe was in trouble.
Simply put, Bai Luo blindly led overseas investment during his tenure, causing funds from many subsidiaries that mainly engage in overseas businesses to fall into trouble. For example, an oil subsidiary, in accordance with Bai Luo's instructions, invested in local airports in the name of its subsidiary. This not only caused its capital chain to break, but also forced oil companies to increase their borrowing efforts. Investment in airports has slow returns and takes a long time, so it is impossible to generate economic benefits at present.
Not one, but six subsidiaries all had similar problems. At Bai Luo's instruction, they made local investments under the name of their subsidiaries. The investment projects were either bridges or slow-profit projects such as roads.
In addition, Bai Luo set up a cosmic Internet project when he was in office. The Internet project includes major projects such as online shopping, live broadcast, entertainment, video, and games, and tens of billions of dollars were invested in the universe. The strategy of dividing cakes on the Internet is correct, but
There was a huge mistake in the decision-making. Bai Luo rejected the department's acquisition proposal and instead decided to create his own brand and Internet leaders to grab the cake. As a result, there were a lot of money, but the results were not visible at all, and he was involved in dozens of lawsuits. This was completely different from Bai Luo's prospects for persuading the directors to agree to the Internet project at the board of directors.
Many people have long seen Bai Luo’s decision-making mistakes, but everyone is afraid of Bai Su’s majesty. Bai Luo, who is strongly supported by Bai Su, naturally became the object of everyone’s obedience. Many people even deliberately made trouble to contribute to Bai Luo’s mistakes. Why didn’t Bai Su, who ruled behind the curtain, noticed it?
Bai Luo’s decision-making mistakes take a certain amount of time to show them in essence, and they will still be prosperous in the short term. For example, one of the projects is called Universe Live. Relying on burning money, many king-level anchors from other portals joined Universe Live. In addition, the navy forces created a illusion that the world was unparalleled. Not only did Bai Su not be vigilant, but Bai Su also praised him repeatedly.
After all, Bai Su is an old man in his seventies, and his views on new things, especially the Internet, still retain the views of traditional industries. After Bai Luo was laid off, Bai Su found out that something was wrong at the meeting of the supervisors of various departments. So he formed an investigation team to review it. After half a month of investigation, Bai Su was stunned. Bai Luo caused at least tens of billions of losses to the Universe Group. This does not include invisible losses such as brand damage caused by overseas asset loss.
