Chapter 477 Unjust Judgment
The day for the trial of Zhou Yubing's kidnapping case has finally come.
The court finally approved the application of the Deng family and Zhou family to not conduct public trials. Since the trials are not conducted publicly, even the relatives of the parties and the court staff who are not related to the case are not allowed to attend, so the reporter is not allowed to enter.
However, this case involves two largest wealthy families in Nanzhao City, and the case is confusing and confusing, so it still attracts many media reporters to wait outside the court early in the morning. When a party involved arrived at the scene, all kinds of long guns and short cannons were shot at each other.
Zhou Yubing is the victim of this case and had to appear in court to testify, but she lost her memory and did not testify at all. Therefore, the ones who appeared in court were Gu Hongru, one of the most senior lawyers in the city, and several assistants.
However, the Deng family did not hire local lawyers, but instead hired senior lawyers from a nationally renowned law firm to participate in the defense. Perhaps because there are many people involved in the case, the Deng family's lawyer group appears to be even larger than the Zhou family.
Since we cannot get instant news of the trial directly from the court, reporters always have to find something for themselves, but they are idle anyway.
So some media began to speculate on the sentences of several people involved in the case and mobilized netizens to participate in the voting. The people participating in the voting should be basically all silk, so they inevitably have the mentality of hating the rich.
Therefore, Boss Deng was sentenced to death by countless people, and the second Deng was basically sentenced to between twelve and twenty years, and even Zhou Yuting was sentenced to seven or eight years by netizens.
On the contrary, Li Dongmei is the lightest. Netizens think she is just being used by others and is almost silenced. Although the murderer has not been caught, the account is basically on the head of the Deng family.
The most important thing is that Li Dongmei surrendered herself. If she hadn't surrendered, this case would have been a unsolved case, so she should have been sentenced lightly.
However, I don’t know if the netizens are unprofessional or the court intends to cover up. When the verdict was publicly announced a month later, everyone was stunned because the result of the judgment was a thousand miles away from their previous expectations, and even the order of the minimum sentencing was a little different.
According to the verdict, Boss Deng was sentenced to 25 years in prison for multiple crimes. Although he was still far from the death penalty, he was not far from his life.
Even if he could see Tian Ri again, he would be a waste after he came out, so netizens could barely accept it, but the subsequent verdict caused an uproar on the Internet.
Li Dongmei, who originally thought that she should have received the lightest sentence, was sentenced to five years, which is fine. After all, Li Dongmei was guilty of kidnapping and even broke a person. It would be impossible to say that she was wronged if she was sentenced to five years.
What made netizens most angry was the sentencing of Zhou Yuting and Deng Laoer. According to the verdict, Zhou Yuting obviously had an informed case that she did not report it, but this was not enough for the crime.
However, the crime of sheltering cannot be pardoned, so the court sentenced her to three years in prison. However, considering that she is pregnant and is about to face breastfeeding, she was finally sentenced to a three-year prison sentence with three years of probation. In this way, as long as Zhou Yuting doesn't have any more accidents during the probation period, she will basically not go to jail.
What surprised netizens the most was the verdict on Deng Laoer. As the planner of the kidnapping case, he was eventually sentenced to only eight years in prison, accompanied by compensation for the victim Zhou Yubing's various economic losses and disability losses totaling 2 million yuan.
Of course, this is just data published by the court. In fact, Zhou Jiyao privately extorted 10 million yuan for Zhou Yubing from Deng Junji as a bargaining chip for Deng Laoer's light sentence.
Since Tang Bin insisted on not wanting to kill Deng Junji's son, he had no choice but to blackmail some money from Deng Junji.
After all, even if Zhou Yubing can never recover her memory, she will have financial guarantees for her future life with her children. Of course, these secret matters are naturally kept in the dark.
On the day after the verdict was announced, Zhou Yuting, as usual, led a group of bodyguards, hugged the reporter and went to Erdaohe's old house to take care of her baby. After all, the child in her belly was of great significance to the Deng family.
However, Deng Junji was quite satisfied with the verdict. Although the eight-year sentence was quite long, he believed that with his secret management, even if according to the existing laws, Deng Laoer could get out after staying in prison for up to four years.
And then he can also take medical parole by pretending to be sick, and he may be out in two or three years. Anyway, money can make the devil push. In another one or two years, who will remember this case? He at least saved his family's heirs.
Of course, Deng Junji would not thank Zhou Jiyao. He knew very well who was secretly working. The next day, Deng Baoping came to find Tang Wan and brought a brocade box.
It contains a piece of crystal clear Hetian mutton fat jade. The price of this grade of Hetian jade is difficult to estimate, and it can be millions at every turn.
"I bought this from another place a few years ago. It's your mother's birthday in a few days. I have nothing to give. I heard that she likes jade, so I'll give it to her to play with." Deng Baoping handed the brocade box to Tang Wan as if she was giving a normal gift.
Tang Wan and Deng Baoping had also given gifts to each other at some special times before, and it was indeed their mother's birthday in a few days, so they didn't care too much, and said with a smile, "Why are you so polite? I didn't even go to your mother's birthday last time."
Deng Baoping curled his lips and said, "Can my mother be the same as my biological mother?"
Tang Wan opened the brocade box and took a look. To be honest, although she was not very good at jade, she had never seen high-end ones. The piece of jade in front of her was expensive at first glance, but she just took a look and put it in the drawer of her desk, and smiled, "Then I will accept it for my mother." She paused and asked, "How is it? Your eldest and second brother are ruling it this time, right?"
Deng Baoping said with a melancholy look on his face, "It's okay, anyway, I can only do this. My boss is beyond help, and now I can only take care of my second brother."
Tang Wan hesitated and said, "I think there are all things on the Internet, and some things are quite unpleasant."
Deng Baoping waved his hand and said, "They are not free of these idiots, they just howl a few times. I don't know what will be attracted to tomorrow."
After pausing, he said, "By the way, I remember you seem to have some friendship with Deputy Director Sun of the Prison Administration Bureau, right? He seemed to be there when we had dinner together a few years ago."
Tang Wan was stunned for a moment and said, "I have no relationship with him. Didn't I like to play mahjong a few times when I was fine in those years? I'm quite familiar with his wife."
Deng Baoping said, "Okay, find some time to ask his wife to come out and sit together."
Tang Wan immediately guessed Deng Baoping’s intention and asked, “What? Do you want to find someone to clear the relationship?”
Deng Baoping nodded and said, "I want to send my second child to the third prison to serve my sentence. I must ensure that he is safe inside."
Tang Wan said in surprise, "What? Are you still worried that someone will harm him?"
Deng Baoping snorted and said, "Of course, we must prevent some people from secretly doing bad things. Isn't my boss's lesson enough? I asked about it. The Third Superintendent is the territory of Deputy Director Sun, and the location is in the Erdaohe area. It's okay if someone takes care of you. At least you won't suffer any suffering in it."
Tang Wan understood that Deng Baoping was hinting at Zhou Jiyao, but she didn't say it out of her face, so she nodded and said, "This is easy to deal with. I'll just make an appointment with you. I don't care about the rest."
Deng Baoping said, "As long as you introduce people to me."
Tang Wan hesitated for a while and asked a little strangely, "Do your boss come here together?"
Deng Baoping shook his head and said, "He would go back to his previous prison to serve his sentence. His case is heavy and it is not convenient to move. I can only take care of my second son first."
Tang Wan smiled and said, "Why do I always think that your two brothers have different status in your heart? I care so much about my second brothers, and I feel a little unkind to my eldest brother."
Deng Baoping shook his head and said, "It's not that he is unkind and righteous, but there is always a serious matter. You also know that the reason why my boss fell to this point today can only blame him for being confused.
Humph, when he was obsessed with Zhou Yubing, I warned him, but he refused to listen. As a result, he was so stupid that he convicted Zhou Yubing. Do you think he deserved it?"
Tang Wan sighed and said, "If you want to say that you two brothers have known each other since childhood, but to be serious, I still think the boss is more straightforward, but he is too impulsive and has a bad temper, but he is still quite kind.
To be honest, although Boss Deng lost his memory, there was no way. If it fell into the hands of someone else this time, Zhou Yubing's life might be gone."
Deng Baoping was stunned for a while, and snorted, "Of course he can't do it, so I said he's not going to do anything."
Tang Wan was surprised and said, "What? Do you still hope he will kill Zhou Yubing? If someone dies, can your second child still come out?"
Deng Baoping shook his head and said, "I'm not talking about this case. He has never done anything I like."
Tang Wan said angrily, "You have no conscience to say this. When you were young, you always saw your boss carrying you on your back. Why didn't you see your second child bring you to play?"
Tang Wan's words seemed to arouse Deng Baoping's sadness. She sat there for a while and sighed, "Actually, I don't have any feelings for the boss, but he is different from the second brother after all."
Tang Wan said in surprise, "Why are the difference? Apart from the ability, it's all your brother. You shouldn't refuse to recognize him just because he fainted, right?"
Deng Baoping hesitated for a while, finally stood up, walked over and closed the office door, and whispered, "If I don't tell you a secret, you will definitely regard me as a person who is tempted by the enemy."
Tang Wan said with a suspicion, "What? Is there a secret here?"
