Chapter 956 - 412: Zhang San Becomes a Web Novel Author?
As soon as these words were spoken.
The situation on the scene instantly reversed.
Qin Mu switched from defense to offense, completely turning his role around.
Upon hearing Qin Mu's "thief crying 'stop thief'" rhetoric...
The lawyers from Qianzhou trembled with anger but were helpless.
Especially Zhao Baiqin.
As a top lawyer in the field of criminal defense, he was very clear about the characterization of fraud.
As long as there is an intention of illegal possession, coupled with an act of demanding property, it constitutes fraud.
The distinction lies only in...
Fraud completion and attempted fraud.
And once the court investigation finds that Zhang San forged evidence in an attempt to falsely accuse Li Si of owing 54 million, it constitutes malicious fraud.
Then Zhang San...
Is highly likely to be sent in by Qin Mu!
"It's over, this case is hard to fight."
In the auditorium.
All the top lawyers sighed in unison, thinking silently in their hearts.
It was clear to anyone with a discerning eye.
Qin Mu's switch from defense to offense thoroughly disrupted the situation.
Not giving the Qianzhou lawyer team any chance.
"Fraud?"
The Judgment Chief glanced at Qin Mu, also surprised by the approach Qin Mu proposed.
He took a deep breath.
Looked at the few lawyers from Qianzhou, and asked seriously, "The defending lawyer has already pointed out the falsifications in the fund flow report and denied the existence of the debt, asserting that the 150 million belongs to customer-managed assets..."
"What evidence do you have to prove that this money is a loan?"
As the Judgment Chief.
He was well aware that to clarify the case, the source lies in the "loan" of 150 million.
If the 150 million was indeed lent to Li Si as Zhang San claimed...
Then the act of Zhang San and others falsifying the fund flow report should not be characterized as fraud, or not entirely as fraud.
But...
If the loan of even 150 million cannot be proven, then the subsequent series of actions...
Are, as Qin Mu said, obviously aimed at defrauding money.
An undeniable fraud crime.
"This..."
The two lawyers from Qianzhou were suddenly left speechless by this question.
Originally.
This question should have been asked by the Judgment Chief to the defendant's side, but it was suddenly thrown at them by Qin Mu.
To know.
When the 150 million was lent, only Zhang San and Li Si were present.
There were no recordings, videos, IOUs, loan contracts, or any evidence.
Not even a "witness" was present.
Originally this was something Qin Mu's side needed to explain, after all, their subsequent debt agreement was indeed real.
As a result...
Qin Mu exposed the loophole in their forged debt agreement, leading to an instant reversal of the situation.
The problem is they also had no evidence in this regard to prove Li Si indeed owed money.
"Judgment Chief, the opposing side cannot prove our client's debt, and our client's nature of work is managing customer assets, per the principle of high probability, this doubtful situation should be presumed by common sense..."
Seeing the situation, Qin Mu added another sentence.
Like adding insult to injury.
Making the faces of the Qianzhou lawyers even more unsightly.
High probability!
This is applicable in civil litigation where both parties cannot provide effective evidence to support their own claims.
They cannot fully prove Li Si owes Zhang San money.
Qin Mu also cannot fully prove Li Si doesn't owe Zhang San money.
The Judgment Chief, upon hearing this, slightly raised an eyebrow.
He did not refute Qin Mu.
According to legal procedure, Qin Mu wasn't wrong in what he said.
To fully clarify the case...
The principle of high probability had to be used.
...
Study Law Alliance Forum.
The series of twists and turns once again set the forum ablaze.
"Wow! The up is stirring things up again, could he actually send the plaintiff in?"
"Even though it's a mock court, it still sounds ridiculous."
"up: I'm not very familiar with other types of litigation, but I can drag the case into my area of expertise and use my extensive experience to defeat the enemy!"
"The up has never let me down, the other party is probably dumbfounded."
"Begging for the mental shadow area of the few Qianzhou lawyers!"
"..."
The netizens were very excited.
Qin Mu's maneuver greatly boosted their morale.
In just a few sentences.
The situation was completely reversed.
Moreover.
He also proposed the use of the principle of high probability.
Once inferred by this point that the 150 million does not constitute a loan, Zhang San has a very strong suspicion of constituting a fraud crime.
"It doesn't constitute fraud, in my opinion, up said this primarily to intimidate the other party with momentum."
"Fraud requires substantial evidence, high probability can be used in civil litigation, but it cannot be used in criminal litigation, indeed, it doesn't constitute fraud."
"Zhang San: Phew, almost got sent in by this old trickster."
"Although it doesn't constitute fraud, the result of this case should no longer be in doubt."
"..."
In the forum.
Netizens seriously discussed Zhang San's actions once more.
Many netizens actually learned something substantial.
And began to analyze in a similar manner.
The determination of a criminal charge must have concrete evidence.
Testimonies, physical evidence, confessions, none can be missing.
Suspicion...
Cannot be used to convict, it can only serve as a reference.
But everyone understood, the case had reached its conclusion.
No matter how capable the opposing lawyer is...
It can't possibly change the world.
This is yet another one-sided match!
The situation that seemed hopeless at the start was turned around by Qin Mu!
...
Meanwhile.
Shanghai.
In an office.
Huang Qinglin and Rao Zhengde were staring at a computer, watching the live stream of the fourth courtroom simulation.
They were both impressed by Qin Mu's series of moves.
"This level of knowledge and reaction… it's too strong."
Rao Zhengde smacked his lips, unable to contain his admiration.
Qin Mu's thinking process was a bit unusual.
He did not take the conventional path.
But the litigation effect was remarkable.
The lawyer team from Qianzhou struggled several times and was ultimately utterly defeated.
The situation started to become one-sided.
"Old Huang, your eye for people… is truly sharp."
Subsequently.
Rao Zhengde turned and looked at Huang Qinglin beside him.
Huang Qinglin grinned.
A look of pride and satisfaction filled his face.
Actually.
He didn't expect Qin Mu to get through the third round.
Even more unexpected…
Qin Mu discovered the falsification in the financial flow statement within such a short time.
This was something he had specifically set up.
It was meant to test the lawyers from both sides to see who could find it.
If neither found it…
Then the financial flow statement would be valid evidence.
If it was discovered, then the discovering party would naturally hold a major advantage.
While the two were chatting.
The trial in the fourth simulation courtroom finally ended.
After discussion at the tribunal.
A corresponding judgment was made, determining that the lending relationship was not established, denying the legality of the debt agreement, and concluding that there was no debt between Li Si and Zhang San.
Instead, according to the proxy investment regulations, Li Si should compensate for the respective losses.
A total of 3.21 million.
They also gave corresponding scores to the performances of the lawyers from Jin City and Qianzhou.
"687?"
Rao Zhengde's pupils shrank sharply upon hearing this.
This score…
Over the past decade, he had only seen it once or twice.
It's close to a perfect score.
The total score is 700.
The seven members of the tribunal gave such a high score directly.
Not surprisingly.
Qin Mu would again advance to the next round as the first.
The first round was like this.
The second round was also like this.
The third round is the same.
It was a crushing momentum!
Those top-tier lawyers from other regions with eyes set on high…
Were almost suffocated under the pressure.
...
Outside the fourth courtroom.
After the verdict.
Qin Mu walked side by side with Zhang Wei, exiting the courtroom.
Qin Mu looked calm, as if he had just done something trivial.
As for Zhang Wei…
His heart was already surging with excitement.
The quarterfinals!
They advanced to the quarterfinals!
Out of so many regions nationwide, Jin City actually managed to reach the top eight someday!
And all this…
Was the achievement of both him and Qin Mu!
Together they are invincible.
Separately, they are impressive individually.
This description fits them perfectly!
"This… when it comes to drawing lots later, you should go, your luck is better."
On the way.
Zhang Wei looked at Qin Mu and suddenly said.
Qin Mu had completely won him over with his strength.
Next.
He just needed to…
Relax, assist when needed.
He might not even need to assist, Qin Mu could take on the world alone.
Qin Mu nodded.
He went to the center of the conference hall, patiently waiting for the other courtroom simulations to end.
Two hours later.
The other quarterfinalists emerged one after another, also gathering at the center of the hall.
They started drawing lots for the fourth round, which would be the afternoon trials.
However…
After such high-intensity litigation, many lawyers' faces were marked with exhaustion.
"What did you draw?"
Seeing Qin Mu after he finished drawing lots, Zhang Wei immediately came over.
His face full of curiosity.
In front of Zhang Wei, Qin Mu opened the fourth-round case topic he had drawn.
"Zhang San… is he an author of a novel this time?"
Zhang Wei blinked, his expression somewhat dazed.
