Chapter 1085

~7 min read 1,300 words

"Fake, it must be fake." After a long while, a clear voice came from Wu Ying's throat, "This must be Zhou Andong's conspiracy."

Wu Ying was unwilling; the first time they lost, it was because they misjudged the situation, so they very simply stopped competing with Zhou Andong on Chinese and Western culture.

Because they realized that their influence in the hearts of young people was vastly different from Zhou Andong's. In such a contest, without the support of young people, they would absolutely not win.

There was also the most important point, and the one that made them feel the most aggrieved and humiliated, which was that they couldn't debate Zhou Andong.

Think about it, they were a group, everyone had a certain social status, and their literary attainments were even more unquestionable; every article was full of quotations and made people applaud, but it just couldn't resonate with young people.

Look at Zhou Andong again, full of nonsense, without a bit of literary talent, but those young people listened as if they had been injected with chicken blood. How could they not feel aggrieved and humiliated.

So, when the situation was unfavorable for them, they decisively withdrew and opened a second battlefield. Even they didn't expect that Zhou Andong would be beaten until he had no power to fight back, and even if Zhang Wengong defected, it didn't affect the overall situation.

They were happy, they were excited, and just when they were preparing to make persistent efforts, accumulate strength, and launch a final blow. Zhou Andong, who had been beaten to death by them, suddenly turned around and gave them a stick.

This stick hit them until they saw stars, and it took a long while to wake up. Looking at the newspaper, they didn't believe it was true, thinking it was Zhou Andong's conspiracy.

"Ding-a-ling..."

The harsh ringing of the phone startled Wu Ying's body, and her hand loosened, and the newspaper drifted to the ground.

"Hoo!"

Wu Ying breathed a long sigh and picked up the phone: "I am Wu Ying."

"I am Old Sun." Old Sun's voice came from the receiver: "You saw the newspaper, right."

"Saw it... cough, cough, cough..." Wu Ying felt her mouth dry, her throat itchy, and she couldn't control coughing twice.

Old Sun asked with concern: "Why are you coughing? The weather is cool; you should pay more attention to keeping warm and drink more hot water."

"I'm fine." Wu Ying said: "What should we do now?"

"I heard news from a reporter friend that Song Ziyi is missing." Old Sun's tone was somewhat uncontrollably excited: "I suspect that Song Ziyi's sudden disappearance has something to do with Zhou Andong."

Wu Ying was stunned, and then her spirit was lifted, sweeping away the previous decadence: "Is this news reliable?"

"Reliable!" Old Sun's tone was very certain: "Even Song Ziyi's sister reported to the police."

Wu Ying stood up with a swoosh: "This is really a turn for the better."

"Right!" Old Sun couldn't help laughing: "A living person cannot disappear for no reason, and even his own sister doesn't know where he went.

I guess something happened to him, so, whether Song Ziyi's disappearance has anything to do with Zhou Andong, we must link him to this matter, guide public opinion, force the police to arrest him, so that his reputation will stink.

Even if it is finally proven that Song Ziyi's disappearance has nothing to do with him, the clothes stained with shit, even if washed clean, will make people feel disgusted when they see them.

In this way, it will be difficult for Zhou Andong to establish trust in the hearts of young people and be responsive to every call like now."

"Bang!"

Wu Ying patted the table excitedly: "I'll write an article now."

Without even saying goodbye, Wu Ying hung up the phone, then sat down, took paper and pen, and began to write.

………………

Yangcheng!

Regarding Zhou Andong's few questions, from the initial shouting and killing of vendors to the current sympathy for vendors and the heated debate about whether some existing systems are reasonable, public opinion is spreading to surrounding provinces and cities.

This gave Yangcheng great pressure, especially the department handling the violent resistance case, which was holding meetings every day to study this case. According to past experience, this case is very simple. Violent resistance to law enforcement, intentional homicide is the death penalty.

However, Zhou Andong's questions caused a strong public opinion reaction. At this time, even those who had received benefits from Director Huang of the City Appearance Office put away their improper thoughts and sent back the benefits that had already entered their pockets without any difference.

Zhou Andong and Seeing Jian Qiu had just finished lunch and returned to the room when Dong Herong came.

Not seen for a few days, his complexion was a shade darker, and his originally thin face looked even thinner, but his spirit was very good.

"President Zhou, President Jian!"

Zhou Andong pointed to the sofa: "Sit!"

Dong Herong sat down, and Seeing Jian Qiu poured him a cup of tea.

Zhou Andong took out a cigarette and lit it for Dong Herong himself.

"Hard work."

"Not hard." Dong Herong shook his head: "I am a lawyer; this case is very representative, and it is also a challenge for me."

Zhou Andong smiled: "Do you have confidence in keeping the vendor's life?"

"Seven percent confidence."

Dong Herong said seven percent confidence, but looking at his firm eyes, one knew that his confidence was very sufficient.

"After several days of investigation and evidence collection, as well as research on the case, I believe that we should avoid hurting the feelings of the victim's side as much as possible; in court cross-examination, questioning, and defense, we cannot mention violent law enforcement, and must follow the principle of not pointing at the point."

Not mentioning violent law enforcement made Zhou Andong frown, but he didn't understand these.

"I don't understand these; you are a lawyer, you look at it."

Dong Herong saw the doubt in Zhou Andong's heart: "Violent law enforcement, this issue is very sensitive; once it is raised, it is not only that the victim's side cannot accept it emotionally, but even the prosecution and the court are difficult to identify with.

More importantly, as the victim's identity, in terms of emotion, the prosecution and the court must have a certain tendency.

We must be cautious in the defense when using vocabulary that is difficult for the court to identify with. Therefore, we must be cautious in grasping the scale of law and human feelings."

Zhou Andong understood and nodded: "Continue."

Dong Herong smoked: "What we need to do is to lift the subject qualification of the City Appearance Office and knock off the hat of obstructing official business. Intentional homicide cannot be established; it should be defended as a single crime of intentional injury resulting in death, and there is hope for keeping his life.

Based on my experience analysis, the police will definitely conclude the case as intentional injury resulting in death. I am preparing to defend it as negligent homicide; intentional crime and negligent crime are difficult to distinguish in this case; one is negligence, one is intentional.

Also, we must propose that the prosecution prove that the City Appearance Office is a qualified administrative organ, but this cannot be proven. Because in city appearance management, the permissions of the City Appearance Office, Urban Management, City Planning, and Natural Resources departments are overlapping.

Therefore, we cannot mention excessive defense; we can only say that the City Appearance Office is at fault, and the fault is still very large; this is also the key to the vendor's sentencing and exemption from death..."
