Chapter 642 - 414: Zhao Yi Achieves Mastery of Divine Skills!

Chapter 642: Chapter 414: Zhao Yi Achieves Mastery of Divine Skills!

Wang Yao’s brow revealed an expression of seriousness.

The stamps that disappeared in ’04, were unseen for a year, and then circulated to Haibei Province, even confiscated by the police, becoming the so-called ’LSD stamps’!

What does this mean?

It means...

"This is not theft, nor is it robbery... but a drug manufacturing case!?"

Judge Liu Zhicheng’s body shook, showing a hint of surprise on his face.

To be fair, when the first trial was changed from theft to robbery, he was already prepared to hear a case of ’robbery’.

But he really didn’t expect... that this could turn into a so-called ’drug manufacturing’ case!

"Then this case..."

Zhao Yi suddenly had a thought, his brow raised, and he looked at Wang Yao and stated:

"Adjourn the court, then transfer it to someone else!?"

Drug cases, these are not under the jurisdiction of the First Criminal Court.

Theoretically, it should be the Second Criminal Court that is responsible for the trial!

Wang Yao said nothing, he just continued to silently look at the information.

Beside him, Liu Zhicheng couldn’t help but quietly speak: "Um, Judge Zhao... I’m from the Second Criminal Court."

Zhao Yi: ?

Zhao Yi was dumbfounded, and couldn’t help but turn to look at Liu Zhicheng.

Liu Zhicheng explained: "Although this case seems simple, actually... because of the special nature of the stolen items, it is considered an economic theft."

Sun Hu stole a stamp delivery truck.

Most of the stamps inside were inferior, but the problem arose.

The value of some stamps can’t be limited by their denomination and ’special number’!

Inferior stamps may be worth more than good stamps!

Let me give an example.

Mistakenly printed RMB.

A misprinted 100-yuan RMB, how much would someone spend to collect it?

Hundreds of yuan? Or thousands?

No, it can reach up to several hundred thousand yuan!

At this point, if you steal it, should it be punished as stealing hundreds of yuan or hundreds of thousands?

That’s just one note.

"There was an entire truck full in the postal truck."

Liu Zhicheng couldn’t help but shake his head and quietly said.

"To the postal company, these things are just usable, but to ordinary people, there are many valuable items in this truck."

"The first time he stole, Sun Hu noticed this and kept some of the misprinted stamps."

"But now... the other party hasn’t even had time to throw out the valuable stamps."

Along with ’gang activity’ and ’huge amounts’, it is clear this is economic crime.

And economic crime is precisely what the Second Criminal Court is responsible for!

Therefore, this case is judged by a collegial panel composed of several people from both the First Criminal Court and the Second Criminal Court.

"That means..."

Zhao Yi’s mouth twitched, feeling a bit worn out himself.

"Not only can we not transfer the case handling rights now."

"Exactly the right ensemble to hear this case!?"

Liu Zhicheng silently nodded.

Zhao Yi: ....

He turned his head to look at the silent plaintiff’s seat, looking at Xu Liang who was struggling to speak, and couldn’t utter a word.

Instead, it was Wang Yao.

After contemplating for a long time, he finally took a deep breath and turned his attention to the defendant’s seat.

"Defendant!"

With these three words, the people in the courtroom immediately came to their senses and listened attentively.

"Regarding the plaintiff’s statement that the batch of ’stamps’ you stole in 2004 appeared in Haibei Province, do you have anything to say?"

Wang Yao said.

Everyone perked up upon hearing this.

What does this mean?

It means Xu Liang indeed submitted enough evidence!

The other party can prove that the stamps Sun Hu stole actually appeared in Haibei Province, and are very likely the so-called ’LSD’!

At the defendant’s seat.

"That bastard... Scum..."

With a livid face, Wang Hu gritted his teeth tightly.

Since the judge can trust Xu Liang, the other party must have submitted evidence.

In court, the only way to refute the evidence is with another piece of evidence, but they... how can they defend it?

It’s important to know that the post office had already given the police the batch numbers of the stamps they stole.

And Haibei Province’s stamp numbers match those stolen; it’s simply irrefutable!

"Your Honor, I... I..."

Sun Hu hesitated for a long time, not knowing what to say.

Finally, taking a deep breath, he said:

"I didn’t know those stamps were used to make LSD, I was just selling normally..."

The bench said nothing.

But Xu Liang at the plaintiff’s seat raised his brow, suddenly stating:

"So you admit those were the stamps you sold!?"

"If you were just simply selling, then why, when you were first caught, didn’t you tell the police any information?"

Sun Hu: ?

"You!"

Sun Hu felt like he was about to explode, itching to break free from his shackles and punch Xu Liang.

Unfortunately, he couldn’t.

"Order in the court, plaintiff’s attorney please adhere to the courtroom protocol!"

Chief Judge Wang Yao spoke discontentedly, restoring order.

He furrowed his brow, falling into deep thought.

To be honest, he was not skilled at dealing with such sudden situations, especially since such occurrences don’t typically happen in trial cases.

Certainly.

He may lack experience, but that doesn’t mean others do!

"Chief Judge Wang."

"This kid is disturbing you; the drug manufacturing crime was committed during his first theft and is a separate case."

Zhao Yi suddenly spoke in a low voice, reminding him.

"In the current case, although the other party knowingly participated in drug manufacturing, however..."

"He was attempting to!"

Yes.

Sun Hu and Sun Biao were in a state of attempted action; after the robbery, they didn’t escape, nor did they deliver the ’raw materials’ to Haibei Province.

From this single case perspective...

"The second ’robbery incident’, without sufficient evidence to prove participation in drug manufacturing, is to be treated as completed under ’robbery’ charges."

Zhao Yi slowly opened his mouth.

With the two cases separated, they cannot count the first theft within the second case.

The first ’drug manufacturing crime’ should be reexamined by the court initially handling the ’drug manufacturing’, as it doesn’t relate to the current case.

"You this..."

Wang Yao recovered his senses and took a deep look at Zhao Yi by his side.

The other’s responses, this capability...

Liu Zhicheng couldn’t help but commend, "Judge Zhao truly accumulates deeply and emerges powerfully!"

He knows the judges in Upper City have outstanding capabilities, unmatched by outsiders.

But facing Zhao Yi... Liu Zhicheng is genuinely impressed.

This man, within a short period, could clarify such complex cases instantly!

Knowing that for others, it might take at least a week to recess and discuss.

"Ha."

Zhao Yi curled his lips slightly, ceased speaking, but his eyes grew increasingly emotional.

It’s still the same phrase.

Your poor results are just because you haven’t done enough exercises!

Even though Zhao Yi didn’t want to do well, he couldn’t avoid the difficult problems that kept coming his way and was forced to improve.

"Plaintiff’s side!"

Wang Yao cleared his thought process, then turned his head to Xu Liang, his gaze focused.

"Do you have any evidence proving the other party participated in drug manufacturing this time!?"

Upon hearing this.

The audience widened their eyes.

Though these words questioned Xu Liang, however...

"In other words, the Chief Judge acknowledges the party’s participation in drug manufacturing during the first theft!?"

"No, how did the case change again!?"

"Isn’t this just a theft case... How did it become even more serious!"

"..."

The audience was shocked, and the sound of commotion gradually rose.

Xu Liang ignored these sounds, his face showed a hint of tongue-clicking, as he looked deeply at the judgment seat.

Good grief, his confusion didn’t trap the opponent...

’These judges have such strong adaptability; I initially thought I could add another charge to Sun Hu...’ Xu Liang mused internally.

But outwardly, he continued to speak calmly:

"No."

Indeed, he didn’t have any.

This side of Sun Hu and Sun Biao completely lacked substantial evidence to prove their second theft aimed at manufacturing drugs.

Even if Feng Jiancun spoke personally, it wouldn’t work.

Evidence is necessary!

Although linking it with the destination of the first theft of stamps is possible, don’t forget...

The other party hasn’t been convicted of ’drug manufacturing crime’; only after conviction can linkage occur!

’But it doesn’t matter; it’s only a matter of time.’ Xu Liang thought internally.

Indeed it is.

Sun Hu and Sun Biao’s participation in drug manufacturing is indisputable; they cannot escape it, and the court and police will definitely delve deeper into it!

By then, how to judge will be determined.

At the judgment seat.

"Indeed, this rascal..."

Wang Yao’s face darkened slightly; only then did he realize, Xu Liang had been silently scheming against them.

But soon he remembered Zhao Yi would come to Upper City shortly, and his expression stabilized.

After pondering for a moment...

"Chief Judge, this case..." Liu Zhicheng softly spoke, probing.

Wang Yao pondered, not in haste to give a response.

At the very least...

He should have an intuitive understanding of the drugs Sun Hu participated in!

After all.

Subsequent hearings certainly will address Sun Hu’s matter.

When adjudicating drug crimes, the biggest factor is knowing how much ’quantity’ the other party participated in manufacturing!

If it’s just a typical few hundred grams, or a few catties...

Then this matter isn’t complicated given his caliber.

Thinking of this, Wang Yao had an answer, he softly spoke:

"Contact the police to verify case information!"
