Chapter 365 What are the consequences of breaking the court seal?
Longcheng, inside a certain bank.
"What did you just say? My dad's bank account has been frozen?"
"No, aren't you guys cheating on customers? Why, a big bank can freeze other people's accounts at will? Do you know this is a crime?"
"You must give us an explanation today, otherwise we will call the police!"
Zhou Yunan shouted excitedly at the little girl inside the window.
Zhou Hongtao next to him was also livid and very ugly.
They took their father Zhou Kaihe's passbook and ran to the bank, preparing to withdraw the money inside and then add 5 cents to it. However, they were told by bank staff that the account was frozen and the money inside could not be moved at all.
Naturally, the two of them had a fit on the spot.
The bank staff are obviously not vegetarians. They have been working in this position for nearly ten years and have never received anyone.
He immediately rolled his eyes and said in an indifferent tone: "What are you yelling at me for? That account was frozen by the court. You have the ability to go to the court to make trouble. What's the use of yelling at me? If you keep making trouble like this,
I'll call security."
"Frozen by the court?"
Zhou Hongtao frowned and asked quickly: "What's going on? Why did the court freeze my dad's account?"
The bank staff glanced at him and said: "Can you tell me this? This is not a court, and I am not a judge. If you have any questions, go to the court and ask someone. If you have nothing to do, please step aside.
, don’t delay other people’s business.”
"It's not your attitude! God knows what the customer is. If you do this again, I will complain to your superior!" Zhou Yunan shouted loudly with his eyes wide open.
The bank staff sneered, with disdain on their faces. They didn't take Zhou Yunan's threat to heart at all: "Complain. My father-in-law is the president. You can complain wherever you like. It scares me to death."
"you!……"
Zhou Yunan was choked to the point of being speechless and almost furious.
"Okay, Turtle is here at the barber shop, let's go first."
Zhou Hongtao couldn't help but pulled his sister and left the bank.
"whispering sound!"
“I don’t know what he did that was so outrageous, otherwise why would the court freeze the account?”
Looking at the backs of the two people, the bank staff muttered to themselves.
But after Zhou Hongtao and Zhou Hongtao came out of the bank, they ran into trouble.
"Why do you think the court should freeze my dad's account? Isn't this bullying an honest person?" Zhou Yunan walked around angrily with her hands on her hips, "No, we have to go to the court to find out!"
Zhou Hongtao frowned, thought for a moment and then said: "No, we should go back to the old man's residence first and finish the matters that need to be dealt with before going to the court."
Although Zhou Kaihe's bank account was frozen, none of the money in it could be withdrawn.
But at least there are still a lot of furniture and appliances that can be moved.
Zhou Hongtao is still planning to go to the old man's house first, and then go to the court to inquire about the matter.
After listening to his words, Zhou Yunan didn't have any objections.
The two set off immediately.
I also called a locksmith on the way.
I don't know where Zhou Kaihe's door key went. Anyway, the two of them didn't see it at the hospital, so they had to find a locksmith in advance. It was estimated that the locksmith would be there by the time they arrived.
Half an hour later, brother and sister Zhou Hongtao arrived at an old and remote community.
The residential buildings in this community are all six-storey, without elevators, and other infrastructure is also very poor. The residents in this community are mainly elderly people, with only a few young and middle-aged people. Basically, these people come to Longcheng to work hard.
It's cheap for workers from other places to rent a house here.
Zhou Kaihe's house is in this community, building 7, unit 601.
The brother and sister Zhou Hongtao clambered up to the sixth floor, only to see a long white strip stuck to the door, diagonally attached from the door panel to the wall next to it.
"What is this... sealed by the court and strictly prohibited from destruction?"
Zhou Yunan was a little short-sighted, and the light was dim. He took a few steps forward to see the words clearly. His face suddenly changed slightly: "What does this mean? Brother, look at what this is!"
"Um?"
Zhou Hongtao was also surprised and stepped forward to check.
In the center of this long white object, there is a square bump, which seems to have a pinhole camera and a QR code.
It's quite strange anyway.
Zhou Hongtao didn't see the reason either.
At this time, a heavy breathing sound came from below, and a lean middle-aged man carrying a tool bag and wearing work clothes walked up.
"Hello, you want to open the lock, right?" the middle-aged man asked, looking at the two of them.
"Ah, yes, it was me who called you. This is the house. Please take a look."
With that said, Zhou Yunan walked to the side and made room.
The locksmith opened his bag and took out his tools, then walked forward and said casually: "What I'm most afraid of is the list in this community, especially the fifth and sixth floors. There's no elevator. You'd be sweating after just one climb."
.But fortunately, the anti-theft door locks in this old community are generally not too high-end, and they are relatively easy to open...Eh? This is...an electronic seal!?"
After seeing the white object on the door clearly, the locksmith's eyes suddenly widened and he instinctively took two steps back.
Then he put the tools in his bag, looked back at Zhou Hongtao and Zhou Yunan, and said with an unkind expression: "I told you two, don't make such a joke. I don't want to go in and eat at the public house."
"ah?"
Zhou Yunan was stunned for a moment and asked hurriedly: "Master, what do you mean by this? Why can't I understand what you are joking about eating from the public family?"
"Do you really not understand or do you pretend not to understand?"
"No, if you have something to say, just say it directly. What kind of riddles are you talking about!"
Zhou Yunan frowned and said somewhat unhappily.
The locksmith saw that she didn't look like she was acting, so he pointed to the electronic seal on the door and said, "Have you seen this thing? This is the electronic seal of the court. It probably means that this property has been sealed by the court. Anyone can
Don’t move around, let alone break the seal casually.”
"In the past, there were ordinary seals. Later, as electronic seals became more popular, once someone broke them, an alarm would be automatically issued."
"And there are cameras up here, have you seen it? They can find you even if you run away."
The unlocking master shook his head and said: "Last year, a colleague who did not know the law opened the lock of a sealed villa and broke the electronic seal. He was detained for five or ten days and fined several hundred yuan.
"
"I don't want to follow in his footsteps, so I won't do this job."
"I would also like to advise you two, this thing cannot be touched, so you'd better not mess around."
"gone."
After saying that, the locksmith quickly left the place of trouble.
Break electronic seal?
It would take many years for someone with cerebral thrombosis to do such stupid things.
At a small scale, this kind of behavior is just a general illegal behavior, but at a serious scale, it may violate the criminal law!
Article 60 of the Public Security Administration Punishment Law stipulates that anyone who hides, transfers, sells or destroys property seized, sealed or frozen by administrative law enforcement agencies in accordance with the law shall be detained for not less than five days but not more than ten days, and shall also be fined not less than 200 yuan but not more than 500 yuan.
.
Article 314 of the Criminal Law stipulates that any person who conceals, transfers, sells off, or intentionally damages property that has been sealed, seized, or frozen by judicial authorities, if the circumstances are serious, shall be found guilty of the crime of "illegal disposal of seized, seized, or frozen property" and shall be punished with a three-year fine.
Fixed-term imprisonment of not more than 10 years, short-term detention or a fine.
It may also be suspected of the crime of "refusing to execute a judgment or ruling" stipulated in Article 313 of the Criminal Law.
All in all, this is definitely a very punishing act.
If the locksmith hadn't reminded him, Zhou Hongtao and Zhou Hongtao might have torn the electronic seal without knowing anything.
After the locksmith left, Zhou Hongtao sat on the stairs and took out his mobile phone to search online.
“What is a court electronic seal?”
“What are the consequences of breaking the courthouse seal?”
"Does the court have the power to seal other people's houses at will?"
"..."
The more he checked, the uglier his face became.
"Brother, what's going on? Why was our dad's house sealed?" Zhou Yunan asked anxiously.
"How do I know when I'm riding a horse!"
"Grass!"
Zhou Hongtao roared angrily, and at the same time kicked the door hard, making a loud "bang" sound.
The door shook violently.
next moment.
"Whoa whoa whoa! Whoa whoa whoa!"
The electronic seal flashes red and sounds an alarm.
"What's going on?" Zhou Yunan blinked his ignorant little eyes, full of uneasiness.
Zhou Hongtao was also stunned at this moment.
He stood there stunned for a moment and said with some uncertainty: "Maybe... maybe... maybe... that kick just now triggered the seal's alarm system?"
"What?"
A flash of panic flashed across Zhou Yunan's face, and she quickly stepped in front of the camera and explained: "It has nothing to do with me, comrade judge, can't you see the picture? I was standing there just now, but I didn't touch the seal.
, I didn’t do it.”
"Okay, stop nagging, let's get out of here quickly!"
With that said, Zhou Hongtao ran downstairs three steps at a time. His agility was not at all like that of a forty-year-old middle-aged man.
Seeing this, Zhou Yunan left quickly and followed Zhou Hongtao back to his home.
After all, he still has the bankbook in his hand.
Moreover, the two of them also had to discuss what to do next, whether to continue to find ways to transfer the old man's inheritance, or to communicate with a lawyer and prepare for a lawsuit.
While they were discussing, there was a knock on the door.
Zhou Hongtao went to open the door, leaned over the cat's eye and took a look outside. His face suddenly turned pale, and he quickly took two steps back.
"What's wrong with you..." Zhou Yunan saw his reaction and walked over while asking.
As a result, Zhou Hongtao covered his mouth before he finished speaking.
"Shh, be quiet, it's the police!"
Zhou Hongtao lowered his voice and said: "It must be because of the seal."
"Dong dong dong!"
The knock on the door came again.
"Then what should you do, keep hiding?" Zhou Yunan asked in a low voice.
Zhou Hongtao's face was full of confusion, and he didn't know what to do.
Breaking the seal is likely to lead to detention, but this is a critical moment, and you will be able to rest after being detained for a few days.
"Let's just hide for a day. Anyway, the seal hasn't really been broken. It's not a big deal. Maybe the police can't find me and they won't care..."
Zhou Hongtao comforted himself.
At this moment.
"Dong dong dong!"
"Zhou Hongtao, open the door. We are from the Changfeng Police Station. We have something to do with you. Please open the door quickly and cooperate with law enforcement."
"I asked. Someone saw you just coming home. I know you are inside. Open the door quickly."
"Dong dong dong!"
After hearing this, Zhou Hongtao had no idea at all.
He sighed helplessly and opened the door.
"Are you Zhou Hongtao?" The policeman outside the door looked at him twice and asked.
"Yes, it's my comrade the police. You are looking for me...what's the matter?"
Zhou Hongtao swallowed, feeling a little uneasy.
The policeman showed his ID, identified himself again, and then said: "About forty minutes ago, where were you and what did you do?"
Zhou Hongtao said weakly: "I, I was at my father's house and didn't do much..."
"Yeah?"
"The evidence we received shows that you broke the electronic seal of the court. What's going on?" the police asked with a straight face.
"Comrade police officer, please listen to my excuse... No, please listen to my explanation. I didn't want to break the seal of the court. It was not intentional. I just lightly kicked the door. I don't know what happened, but the seal started to scream. You
Believe me, comrade policeman, I really didn’t do any damage on purpose, and I’m not stupid..."
Zhou Hongtao explained quickly.
The policeman's expression softened slightly.
He had seen the scene from the surveillance video.
It is true that Zhou Hongtao did not intentionally break the seal, but having said that, the seal alarm system was triggered, which means that it constitutes a de facto "breaking of the court seal."
You can't just pretend that nothing happened.
In the end, the police fined Zhou Hongtao 200 yuan.
In addition, I received some verbal criticism and education.
As for detention, he was exempted.
After all, he didn't mean to break the seal, and to be honest, the seal was a bit too sensitive this time. The door panel shook twice and the alarm system was activated...
After comprehensive consideration, the police gave Zhou Hongtao a lighter sentence.
But even so, Zhou Hongtao was still so angry that after the police left, he sat on the sofa and smoked a cigarette with a gloomy face.
"The police are really serious. How big of a deal is this? Why do they mobilize so many people?"
"Tell me, how old are you? Who can bear to be criticized so harshly?"
"I'm telling you, this..."
Zhou Yunan kept nagging at the side.
Finally, Zhou Hongtao broke out.
"Shut up!"
"Can you be quiet!"
Zhou Yunan gave him a hard look, muttered something, sat on the sofa opposite and folded her arms, feeling sulky.
The room suddenly fell silent.
Only the faint sound of burning cigarettes can be heard.
The atmosphere is a bit suffocating.
After a while, Zhou Hongtao stubbed the cigarette butt into the ashtray, took out his cell phone and started dialing.
"Dududu..."
After a few rings, the phone was connected, and then a voice came from the handset of the phone.
