Chapter 257: Chapter 117: Does Someone Hitting Me Mean I Can Only Run? (Two in One)_6
Che Quanzhong suddenly jolted, could this person be...
In front, Ju Haiqing had already started speaking, "Comrade, this here is my lawyer, Tang Fangjing. Can you please have a talk now... "
Over here, Che Quanzhong looked towards Old Tang, a trace of inexplicable expression on his face, "Are you... are you that Tang Fangjing from the Guangming District?
Old Tang didn't speak, he took off his jacket again.
When Che Quanzhong looked over, he noticed a painting on the front of the jacket.
Yes, a painting, of a truck labeled 'Dump Truck' knocking someone over, very eye-catching and distinct.
"It really is Lawyer Tang!" Che Quanzhong suddenly had a bad premonition.
By now, this Lawyer Tang really had a big reputation.
Everyone said that Lawyer Tang seemed to want to sue everyone he possibly could...
When he was in the Bright District, he sued the Housing Construction Department, then the Lawyer's Association, and when he went to Hanxi Province, he even sued the court!
However, he certainly couldn't speak recklessly on the surface, he simply said, "Lawyer Tang, do you understand the case details?" Discover hidden tales at m,v l'e-NovelBin.net
Old Tang nodded, "I watched that video for a long time yesterday, Police Comrade, I think it can't be simply deemed as a fight because of retaliation."
"At that time, it was clearly the other party who started the provocation, and the scratching was entirely the other party's fault. Obviously, he wasn't just on the wrong route, he saw the long line of cars behind him and wanted to cut in line."
"In such a case, I would say my client here should be considered as acting in self-defense..."
Che Quanzhong subconsciously frowned, it wasn't wrong for the grassroots to seek mediation, to save resources.
As for declaring it a fight, that was relatively simple; on the contrary, if it were determined to be self-defense, that would be more troublesome and would require further explanation.
But he couldn't talk to Tang Fangjing the way he did with Ju Haiqing—this was someone who knew the law.
"Lawyer Tang, it wasn't just retaliation; the subsequent attacks were meant for revenge, and this clearly fits the definition of a fight," Che Quanzhong said.
Old Tang responded, "From the start of the attack to the point where both sides were separated, the whole process lasted only about ten seconds. In such a short time, facing the other party's attacks, he could only try his best to retaliate."
"Under these circumstances, we can't simply conclude this as a fight; we need to consider other aspects, the provocation was done by the other party!"
"Lawyer Tang, Lawyer Tang, stop there. How this is handled isn't something I can decide, right? Talking to me about it is useless," Che Quanzhong said with a wry smile.
Old Tang nodded in response, "Fine, I can't find anyone right now, so let's leave it at that for now, sorry for taking up your time."
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Old Tang turned and left.
This case was really a very minor one; the grassroots might encounter several dozen such cases a day, usually just mediating, and if mediation didn't work out, it was simply deemed a fight.
Moreover, the grassroots didn't want to make arrests; with every arrest came a plethora of procedures.
Leaving the place, Old Tang didn't return to his law firm. He directly took the paperwork and went to Xihong District Court.
If he promised to help file a lawsuit, he would definitely do so.
The Xihong District Court was similar to the Guangming District Court; to Old Tang, it felt just like being at home.
Inside the filing room, he handed over the documents, and the staff member, who had been quite casual at first, caught sight of the name of the litigation representative.
Just as he looked up, he saw the young man outside taking off his coat, pointing at his chest.
Staff member: "???"
This completely stumped her, but at least she understood that the other party was none other than Tang Fangjing!
"Lawyer Tang, is this your first time at our Xihong District Court?" the staff member said with a smile.
In the neighboring district, there was such a prominent figure who had never been to the Xihong District Court before.
This time, upon meeting him in person, they definitely wanted to ask.
Upon hearing this, Old Tang laughed and said, "Yes, I've always been busy elsewhere and haven't taken cases from this area before, but rest assured, I'll probably be coming here more often in the future."
With the other party being so warm, he couldn't help but return the favor.
The staff member just smiled and didn't take it too seriously; Lawyer Tang's cases usually took a long time to handle, and he hadn't frequented the courthouse in the past.
There was no problem with filing the case, as there was a responsibility determination report, it was essentially a sure win.
In such an atmosphere, time quickly advanced to a week later.
Ju Haiqing, who was writing at home, received a phone call asking him to make a trip to the police station.
Ju Haiqing quickly called Old Tang, and the two went to the Minsheng Road police station together.
"Lawyer Tang, that's the guy!" Ju Haiqing pointed at the young man ahead.
Next to the young man was a woman who looked quite old, currently speaking anxiously with Che Quanzhong, worry filling her eyes.
As Old Tang and his company approached, they overheard the other side pleading.
"Comrade, officer, we are willing to negotiate. Aren't they just after money? We'll pay!"
While speaking, she also scolded, "Hurry up and speak, and later apologize properly to them!"
The young man retorted unhappily, "I won't apologize! It's just detention. I lost face in front of my friends because he wouldn't make way for me!"
Hearing these words, Ju Haiqing once again couldn't hold back; he was truly curious—there were indeed people in this world who could instantly provoke your anger with just one sentence.
"Everybody was in line; what makes you so special that I have to yield to you? Am I your father?"
Hearing this, the young man immediately couldn't restrain himself, especially with his mother right beside him...
"I'll beat the hell out of you, do you want to die?" he said, wanting to charge over but was shouted down by Che Quanzhong.
"This is the police station; what do you think you're doing, fighting here? Shut your mouths, all of you!"
"What do you think this place is? Besides, let me tell you again, the administrative penalties have already been decided; even if you want to negotiate, it's too late now!"
"What were you doing before? I've been pleading with both parties to settle, and you wouldn't agree; now it's too late!"
Having said that, two penalty notices were brought out.
Yu Erming, the young man, had assaulted someone and was sentenced to ten days of administrative detention and a fine of five hundred yuan.
As for Ju Haiqing, he had fought back and caused minor injuries to the other party. However, considering that it was the other party who had provoked the trouble, Ju Haiqing's penalty could be reduced, and so the decision was made to fine him two hundred yuan.
These grassroots levels had discretionary power in this area, based on Article 43 of the "Public Security Administration Punishments Law."
The former is subject to five to ten days of administrative detention and a fine of five hundred to one thousand yuan, while the latter, with lesser severity, is subject to five days or fewer of administrative detention or a fine under five hundred yuan...
Old Tang showed no expression but asked Ju Haiqing to bring over the penalty decision.
The other party, Yu Erming, was already unable to contain himself, and the woman beside him exclaimed, "No, on what basis? Weren't both just lightly injured? Why doesn't he get detained?"
