Hua Zhenxing: "The first point I just mentioned is that the law has become a professional tool, and litigation itself has become the purpose. Then the second point is that the law has become a professional tool."
Locke: "What's the difference?"
Hua Zhenxing explained very seriously: "The law is the last guarantee for the rights and interests of ordinary people. If its protection function is broken down, then order will have to give way to gangs. If you are lucky, there will be a new alliance to rebuild it.
Unfortunately, it is the former Port of Fiso.
Law, and more importantly its judicial system, protects the rights and interests of all people, and the more ordinary people are, the more they need it. Law is not the same as medicine. What it faces is the daily life of people, and it should not be complicated to ordinary people.
It’s to the extent that no one can understand it.
Even if it is the most complex economic crime, after all the evidence chains are laid out, the fact is simple. Either he took money that he should not have taken, or he defrauded other people's money.
Let's not talk about the investigation of cases. Criminal investigation is another profession. Law should teach the simplest principles, simple and clear. All legal logic should be understood by those who have received compulsory education.
How the police catch a murderer may be complicated, but the fact that murder is a crime is clear to everyone.
However, in many places around the world, even if the legal provisions are clearly written, the judicial system for implementing them has become increasingly complex, with various trap-like procedural regulations.
What does it mean when the judicial system is so complex that even an ordinary citizen who has completed compulsory education cannot understand it, and only professionals can understand it?
Have the two lawyers ever heard of the priest's hallucination? Or, as I put it more popularly, the monk's hallucination. When everyone burns incense and worships Buddha, they must go through the monks in the temple. The monks as a group think that they represent Buddhism."
At this time, Yue Gao Le put his hands on the table and lowered his head and laughed. Seeing everyone looking at him, he waved his hands and said, "Leave me alone! Boss Hua, go on."
Hua Zhenxing continued: "There is an illusion in the legal profession that they think they represent the law or even the legal system. Because they have formed a small professional circle, the judicial process is implemented through them, and the judicial results are determined by them.
Judgments, judicial theories and teaching materials are also written by them.
I say this not because I have any objections to people who are engaged in the legal profession, but if the judicial system is so complicated that ordinary people cannot understand it, it will become a professional tool within a small circle.
Once this trend is formed, it will become more and more obvious, because most of the time various judicial systems are formulated by this group of ‘insiders’.”
At this point, Hua Zhenxing was silent and seemed to be still organizing his words. Yue Gao Le nodded and added: "This is called professional closure. Artificial barriers to professionalism are set up. The so-called professionalism is used to make the program extremely complicated. It is so complicated in this circle.
Outsiders can't understand it, so the judicial system gradually turns into a professional tool.
If the case of O'Haim did not take place in Fiso Port at this time, but in Brussels. I can say that there are many links that only people like me and Lawyer Dong understand, but you don't know at all. It is really necessary
? At least it is very necessary for me and Lawyer Dong!
Whether it is the prosecution, the defense, or the judge, they are all people in the circle. Sometimes it feels like a professional performance, and we will also find a group of audiences to watch, not only to watch the performance but also to vote..."
Dong Zegang finally couldn't help coughing, interrupted Yue Gaole and said: "Xiaohua, I didn't expect that you are quite thoughtful. If you are interested in law, I can recommend a number of professional books to you."
Yue Gaole unconsciously took over the conversation and said, "That way Boss Hua won't be able to speak layman's language, right? But I guess people must have read your book, but your book can't solve their problems.
The three points he just wanted to say all refer to the existing shortcomings. What Boss Hua wants to do is to reestablish order here from the beginning and try not to repeat the same mistakes."
Locke: "Assistant Hua just said two points, what about the third point?"
Hua Zhenxing: "As for the third point, it is actually the result of the first two points, the industrialization of the law. For the same thing, if the cost of implementing it is higher and the process is more complicated, the fairness of the result cannot be guaranteed. But the judiciary itself
The purpose should be to ensure fairness, unless it deviates from that purpose."
Yogao Le shook his head and said: "Who said the purpose of justice is to ensure fairness? The purpose of justice is to ensure order. It depends on what kind of order you want to maintain. Of course, order is better than no order. This is the difference between the country and the country.
The difference is several miles apart."
Hua Zhenxing nodded and said: "Yes, you are right! What I hope to maintain is a fair order. Many things in this world have been industrialized, but there are a few things that cannot. The first is the law.
The judicial process cannot be a business. As long as it is orderly, the higher its cost, the greater the social internal friction, and the more unfair it actually is.
I often see some remarks that doctors and lawyers are the most envied professions of ordinary people and represent the goals they strive for. I would like to ask why? This is obviously not normal.
If we look at the economic data of a city or a country, if the output value created by the medical and legal fields accounts for a large proportion, what does this mean?
It means that a large part of everyone’s income, and a large proportion of the wealth created by the entire social production, is consumed in the medical and legal fields, so how sick are people’s bodies and behaviors?”
Yue Gao Le was happy again: "Maybe it's not people's bodies and behaviors that are sick...Boss Hua might as well just talk about the United States! I got my doctorate in law from the United States."
Hua Zhenxing shook his head and said, "I'm not just referring to the United States, but to many places."
Yue Gao Le: "Boss Hua is from the Chinese ethnic group in Dongguo. I know you also like Dongguo very much, but what you just said is also showing signs in Dongguo today."
Hua Zhenxing: "So I hope this won't happen here. The order we are reestablishing in Fiso Port is first of all the judicial system. Who does it serve and what is its purpose? Lawyer Dong, do you understand?
As for O'Haim's case, it is a legacy of the previous period of history, a history we must face, and a special case in a special period. I hope it will not happen again in the future."
When he went back to work after lunch, Dong Zegang was still a little confused. Hua Zhenxing was so loud. Could it be that his child had the final say in what happened in Feiso Port?
But in a second thought, Dong Zegang had another understanding, thinking that this was what the three elderly people meant, and they just said it through the child Xiaohua, with the purpose of beating him and reminding him to pay attention to today's new work principles.
In a sense, Lawyer Dong was not completely wrong, and the idea of Hua Zhenxing did not appear out of thin air. He was taught by three old men.
Locke and Dong Ze had just left, but Yoo Gao Le was still sitting there drinking tea. But today he was a little more conscious and took the initiative to use his magic to clean up the dishes. Hua Zhenxing asked: "Why is Lawyer Yoo still sitting here?"
Wait, aren't you very busy?"
Yue Gao Le: "This is what I am busy with. I have been listening to you for a long time, but my problem is still not solved. If the Fiso Port prosecutor does not enter into a plea agreement with the client, he must also be lenient if he confesses, right?
I just want to get an early verdict because my client wants to escape on the way to prison. I am a dedicated lawyer and I have to try my best to help him achieve his goal. Justice must also pay attention to efficiency. Lack of efficiency cannot guarantee fairness, right?
?”
Hua Zhenxing almost got angry: "Don't worry, it will be soon."
Yogao Le: "I would also like to suggest that you pay attention to the bail terms. Do not return the bail after the verdict is pronounced in court. Cancel the joint guarantee and stipulate that it will be returned when he goes to jail to serve his sentence."
Huazhenxing: "You are so considerate, thank you very much! You are Oheim's legal counsel, but you should be hired through Oheim Pharmaceutical Group, and you will receive fees from the pharmaceutical group."
Yo Gao Le: "Yes, my consulting fee was not paid by O'Heim personally, but by the pharmaceutical group. There is no problem with the procedure."
Hua Zhenxing: "Then your mission this time is almost completed. If those three magicians are also hired through Oheim Pharmaceutical Group, then they will no longer have to be bodyguards for Oheim soon."
Yue Gaole raised his thumb and said: "Boss Hua is so smart, so he is waiting here! Your old friend Rothchild has almost controlled the Oheim Pharmaceutical Group." At this point, his tone changed again, "But I
After helping you so much, do you want him to fire me?"
Hua Zhenxing: "How can you fire someone like a lawyer? I don't know how long you signed the contract. In short, it is impossible for Oheim Pharmaceutical Group to unilaterally break the contract. You can continue to provide legal services, but it may not be possible."
It’s to serve O’Haim again.”
Yogao Le: "It is my responsibility and O'Heim's right to start well and end well. Even if O'Heim Pharmaceutical Group wants to transfer me, it will have to wait until the verdict is announced."
Hua Zhenxing: "Okay, I promise you. In short, O'Haim's departure from Fesuo Port will not be later than the time when I provide Chunrong Dan."
Yue Gao Le: "Six billion Dongguo currency, converted into Luo yuan, I can transfer it to your account right now."
Hua Zhenxing: "Don't worry, wait until January. It's only a few days away anyway."
At this moment, Hua Zhenxing's cell phone vibrated, and he took it out and saw that it was Charles. Charles has been very busy recently. He has to host various meetings in public, make various speeches, sign various documents, and also do other things in private.
Learn all kinds of knowledge and receive all kinds of training.
Charles is the new mayor of Fiso Port and the leader of the local people. The three old people, including Hua Zhenxing, do not intend to just treat him as a puppet. They are really cultivating and building him with their heart, hoping that he can be qualified for this role.
Hua Zhenxing originally chose Charles because there was really no other more suitable candidate. But the facts proved that this choice was very correct, and Charles' intelligence was brought into full play, which was almost like cheating.
Hua Zhenxing thought he had something urgent, so they chatted for a long time on the phone. Charles claimed that he hadn't seen him for many days, expressed his concern and greetings, and said when he would go to meet again. Recently, there was a new incident in Feso Port.
I opened a barbecue restaurant, Dongguo Northeast style barbecue, where you can go and have skewers and drink beer.
Then Charles asked about Manman's situation and asked Hua Zhenxing to say hello on his behalf. Finally, he mentioned Locke and expressed his gratitude and admiration for Locke. Locke has already served in the city government and has indeed done a lot of things recently, and his performance has been very good.
good.
After Hua Zhenxing hung up the phone, he frowned, instinctively feeling that something was wrong. The two had been playmates since childhood. Although Hua Zhenxing felt more and more that he had underestimated Charles, he still felt towards this man's temper.
Very understanding.
Although Charles sometimes talks a lot and talks endlessly when he is excited, he is never boring, let alone oblique. Today's phone call was very strange. It was unnecessary to greet Manman and praise Locke.
Although the two of them haven't seen each other much recently, they still have the opportunity to meet. If they really wanted to meet him, wouldn't they come over in just two steps? Even if they want to make an appointment to have noodles or have a barbecue, they should set a specific time!
This is obviously not Charles's style. Charles probably had something he wanted to say but didn't say it. Hua Zhenxing thought for a while and asked nonchalantly: "Lawyer Yue, you have been released from quarantine recently. I also heard that you often go to brush
Now, what is the topic that everyone is talking about the most recently?"
About Gao Le: "Boss Hua has been practicing in seclusion recently. He is really deaf to what is going on outside the window! In the streets and alleys, the topic that everyone is most interested in is not what the city government has done. Everyone is talking about Locke these days.
There are no newspapers or TV stations here. In fact, it’s useless to have them. Most people don’t have TVs at home. Even if they have TVs, they can’t receive signals, and they don’t know how to access the Internet..."
Hua Zhenxing: "Let's put it bluntly, most people here are illiterate! What are you talking about Locke?"
Yo Gao Le: "Just because everyone is illiterate, street discussions are very important and are the most important way for local people to spread and receive information.
The New Alliance was very clever. It set up cultural life squares for residents and broadcast Charles' speeches every day, making Charles a household name.
But is there another such person in Fiso Port? People here may only know a few hundred people around them, and only a few hundred people know him, with the exception of Charles.
But now there is a second one, and that is Locke. Now the locals are familiar with Youpo Noodle House, and recently some people have been promoting that these noodle restaurants are opened by Locke... This is true, but there are still people who are promoting Locke's deeds.
"
Hua Zhenxing: "What deed?"
Gaule: "All kinds of beautiful compliments you can think of, including the super rich people you have read in the Brussels media, who are not greedy for glory and enjoyment, but devote themselves wholeheartedly to public welfare.
His net worth alone exceeds the combined net worth of all the people in Feso Port. He has taken root in Feso Port, loves it and loves everyone here. He is behind the scenes of so many gratifying changes in Feso Port.
Investment support.
If he hadn't been recently awarded a medal by King Belij and reported by overseas media, people wouldn't know what he has done for this place..."
