Chapter 597 Filing a Case
Magus placed a warrant in his hand on the table and pressed it with his index finger to the edge of the table on the other side, "Have you heard of any interesting things these days?"
Wallace nodded and replied, "I heard that Mr. Donald, the new mayor of Audis, and members of the Cape family conspired to assassinate the former mayor, Mr. Dulin. In the end, the assassination failed and Mr. Dulin was injured. Later, for some reason, this matter temporarily calmed down for some time. It was not until this morning that I heard from the Ministry of Justice that Mr. Dulin took these two parties to court."
Magus raised his hand and left the document on the desktop. He pointed at Wallace, "Very good. This is the matter that I issued a special permit order that you need to investigate. We should not tolerate such people who break the rules, and you are the rule defenders. Go and investigate whether there is any conspiracy or other relationship between Mr. Donald and the Cape family. If the situation is true, come to me with evidence, and you know how to do it!" His fingers bent and buckled on the desktop, "You can do things!"
Wallace bowed slightly, took two steps forward and picked up the special permit issued by Magus himself, carefully folded it into the pocket of his top, and then stepped out.
Whether in the past or present, the empire had the same attitude towards the nobles and the ruling party towards officials, that is, to avoid investigating these people as much as possible, so that they can have a basis for full trust. In the past, this was a necessary means for the royal family and His Majesty the Emperor to protect their rights and interests. If you always doubt the moral character of the nobles and whether they betray them, you will inevitably lose the support of these nobles, which may break out of civil war and even cause the imperial power to shake.
In the new era, in order to gain more supporters, the ruling party will not investigate any party insiders without authorization. The composition of the new party is very complex, composed of members of multiple classes such as aristocrats, capitalists, and civilians. Once the nerves of a certain class are touched, it is very likely to cause a series of problems. Powell is one of the typical examples. Maggs knew that Powell was now on the opposite side of him, but he still did not take any action against Powell, just to prevent the incident from happening to the top leaders of the new party who had climbed up to this civilian class, which would cause panic among the civilian class members within the new party.
Therefore, the internal investigation department rarely takes the initiative to do anything. Most of the time they are idle and have nothing to do, and cooperate with this department to do something or help that department do something. Only after Magus signed a special permit order will the internal affairs department begin to conduct a comprehensive evidence collection investigation of the party members. Magus also recognized some of the problems in the party investigation department, so he planned to form a brand new department to target criminal acts by officials. This department has not yet been established and is still being planned.
He hopes to use this neutral and relatively moderate department to replace the internal affairs departments within the old and new parties, and to make more progress and achievements in anti-official crimes.
As for why Magus issued this special permit order only after the Cape family entered the field, there are two reasons.
The first reason is that he intends to use the Cape family as a springboard, so that they can pull more aristocratic capitalists into this case, implicate more aristocratic capitalists, and then smash them all. This may satisfy the sociologist's assumption that the sociologist's right and interest redistribution of the shattered class. And these people should indeed be transformed, so only after the Cape family enters the market can the plan begin.
Secondly, Magus also left a last bit of hesitation for Donald. If he chose to surrender, he might be transferred to a remote city to serve as mayor. But four years later, when Magus was about to step down, he would definitely transfer Donald back. Even if he could not go to a special zone or a prosperous city like Audis, an ordinary city would be fine. Because he was a pawn, he could be said to be an "innocent" pawn in the whole plan. He had endured what he should not bear, and adhered to his principles, and should give him some compensation.
The original plan was that the Anthem Consortium would operate a person to become the mayor of Audis. With such a puppet mayor of the Cape family, the Cape family would definitely invest a lot of money and great efforts in the city, which would become the tomb they dug for themselves. But unexpectedly, the Cape family focused all their energy on the new special zone in the south, and seemed indifferent to the mayor of Audis that were vacant in front of them, which made Magus' plan a little deviation.
In fact, this deviation is ultimately due to Dulin. Because he killed Soro, there is no such person in the Cape family. He is a person who is embarrassed in the city of Audis and is still competing for the position of the head of the family. He urgently needs to find face from the city of Audis and has certain family authority!
If Solo was not dead, Dulin would definitely convince the family to use some resources to run a fresh mayor of Audis. But the problem is that he was killed by Dulin, and the main members of the Cape family knew it well. Although there is no evidence to associate Solo's disappearance with Dulin, everyone agreed that Dulin must have someone do it. At this time, to stimulate the madman who just lost his official position and tear down the interests he left in Audis. Will he do crazy things again?
Very likely!
So the Cape family directly ignored the city of Audis next to their mouths. In order to seize the opportunity from the south as soon as possible, they temporarily gave up the city of Audis.
Until Donald's appearance, his appearance attracted firepower for the Cape family. Perhaps before that, old Cape was unwilling to miss the opportunity in the south because of a war with Dulin. But now that the opportunity in the south can be seized, Mayor Audis took the initiative to send the meat to their mouths, and there was no reason not to bite them. If Dulin really went wild and was going crazy about this matter, he would definitely bite Donald first. When he bit Donald to death, he also left enough evidence to let the Cape family defeat Dulin directly on the front.
Sometimes the law is still useful, especially when some very powerful figures pick up the sharp blade of the law, the law can be considered "fair".
After a series of coincidences and mutual influences, things became much more complicated, but in the end they followed the script and the Cape family entered the game.
There are coincidences and intentions throughout the process. I can only say that this world is really wonderful!
The second reason for this is that Donald turned to the decadent aristocratic capital camp.
At noon that day, the Supreme Court of the Imperial Capital announced an investigation into the allegations filed by Mr. Dulin, and entered the stage of collecting evidence. At the same time, it issued a restrictive order against Dulin, Donald and Poly. Before the end of this case, the three of them were not allowed to leave the empire, otherwise they would face very serious consequences.
This time Dulin invited the main partners of the law firm where Kevin worked to form a gorgeous team of lawyers to fight for him. From the beginning of the case preparations to the end of the final trial, Dulin had to pay at least 800,000 yuan of lawyer fees for the lawyers. In fact, he could ask Kevin to help him, but Kevin will soon be promoted to prosecutor, and he is also in a sensitive period, and it is not convenient to use him for the time being.
Besides, even if he cannot appear in court, it does not mean that he cannot appear in the lawyer group. It is normal to have private gatherings after work. It is not illegal to share some business experiences. Everyone is a barrister, so how to get loopholes clearer than each other.
Of course, after hiring this group of people, Du Lin also made his own request, which is to drag the case down indefinitely as much as possible!
In fact, the evidence in his hands is sufficient according to the lawyers. There are direct photos and witnesses. Basically, it is not difficult to win in this case with a little force. But Dulin knew very well that the trouble was not on his side, but on the Cape family. Soro's nephew seemed to be dead. At least the person he bribed told him that Soro and Ernest were also finished. The other party in this case could be said to be dead.
Once the Cape family applies for the death certificate of these people from the court, the case will directly enter the withdrawal stage of the lawsuit and the defendants are fucking dead. What's the point of fighting this case?
Even if Du Lin does not hire these lawyers, he can directly apply for the death certificate of these people, and he can guarantee that he can win the case.
But what are the benefits of winning this case?
compensate?
The compensation of hundreds of thousands is just a natural collapse and fall off after severe necrosis of the keratinized epithelial tissue, referred to as dandruff, which is not even considered a hair. Losing these hundreds of thousands will not cause the Cape family to become irritated, and Dulin won’t make it to the point of becoming a success after getting these hundreds of thousands. Magus will not catch a Cape and implicate more noble capitalists. No one gets any benefits, so the lawsuit cannot be over so quickly!
On the contrary, if the lawsuit is dragged down, Dulin will first stand on the commanding heights of morality. After all, he is the victim and a minority victim, and he can win the sympathy and tolerance of mainstream views in society. Standing opposite to Dulin's mainstream views, the bad guys must be the bad guys. The origins of Donald and the Cape family aristocrats will become the object of hatred by the mainstream class in society. Under the promotion of public opinion, they will doubt, hate, disgust and hostile to these people.
