Chapter 145 Xiao Hong Cross-Examines in Court! Queen of Law Hong Wen?
Lin Hao took the stack of materials handed over by Ding Hongfei and said.
"These in my hand are the attendance records of 473 construction workers whose wages were owed."
"In the Qifeng City project, they belonged to different construction units and different construction teams, and each was engaged in different types of work."
"The same thing is that they all encountered problems such as wage arrears to varying degrees."
"We know that construction workers do physical work, the work is very hard, and some jobs are accompanied by considerable risks."
"Their wages are earned with their hard sweat and real flesh and blood."
"But in the Qifeng City project alone, as many as 473 construction workers' wages were owed."
"This is not a contractor who ran away with the money. Such an exception can be explained!"
"Among the project funds that Ruan Feng took away, there were only wages for 126 migrant workers."
"Then what about the wage arrears for the remaining 347 migrant workers? How do you explain it?"
Lin Hao frowned coldly.
His sharp eyes were directed at Luo Yu.
Luo Yu felt a little guilty about what Lin Hao said, and instinctively avoided Lin Hao's gaze.
Xiao Hong on the side spoke up.
"I have already said this, and I will repeat it now."
"Huanyu Construction has paid all the construction funds of the Qifeng City project to the subcontracting companies as scheduled."
"As for what kind of problems there are with the funds of the subcontracting companies, why do they lead to wage arrears for migrant workers."
"We don't know, and we are not responsible for it!"
"Even before today, my client Huanyu Construction didn't know that so many people were in wage arrears!"
Xiao Hong cleared herself of responsibility as soon as she opened her mouth.
The onlookers sneered at this.
They spoke for Lin Hao.
"Lawyer Xiao, the salaries of hundreds of people are related to the livelihoods of hundreds of families."
"Does Lawyer Xiao think that all responsibilities can be excluded by saying that you didn't know?"
"The subcontractor is supervised by the general contractor and is responsible to the general contractor."
"The subcontractor has problems and the migrant workers didn't get the pay they deserve. Can you shirk responsibility by saying you didn't know?"
"If what happened today was not a wage arrears problem but a major safety accident, would you also say that you didn't know?"
"Do you think that as long as you act like you didn't know anything, you can shirk all responsibilities?"
What Lin Hao said was exactly what the spectators wanted to say.
For a moment, the audience nodded in approval.
At this time, Xiao Hong on the opposite side said with a serious face.
"Please don't change the concept, Lawyer Lin!",
"Wage arrears is a wage arrears issue, and safety responsibility is a safety responsibility issue. How can they be confused?"
"Since the start of the Qifeng City project, there has never been any safety responsibility accident."
"Please seek truth from facts, Lawyer Lin, and don't use an unfounded assumption to make unwarranted accusations against us!"
Xiao Hong is worthy of being the Queen of Law in the Magic City.
She immediately grasped the loophole in Lin Hao's words.
And launched a sharp rebuttal.
Lin Hao sneered and said.
"What a groundless claim!"
"I admit that no safety accidents have occurred on Qifengcheng Road so far."
"But I must remind everyone that the absence of accidents does not mean that there are no safety hazards!"
"Huanyu Construction's supervision of subcontracting companies and construction teams is so lax that it was even unaware of the fact that so many migrant workers' wages were owed on the project."
"If there are some safety hazards left during the construction process, Huanyu Construction is likely to be unaware of it."
"When something really goes wrong, I really don't know how Huanyu Construction will shirk its responsibility?"
Lin Hao took advantage of Xiao Hong's words to scold them in a sarcastic tone.
The onlookers were quite relieved.
Xiao Hong was speechless for a moment.
But she quickly reacted and said.
"Lawyer Lin, I still say that there was no safety accident in Qifeng City!"
"The so-called safety hazards are nothing but your imagination and assumptions!"
"This is a court. Please seek truth from facts and speak with facts!"
"I don't want to hear such groundless assumptions anymore! This is meaningless to the trial of this case!"
Lin Hao raised his eyebrows and said.
"Who said it's meaningless? What's wrong with this being a court?"
"Excuse me, is it illegal to make assumptions in court?"
"It seems that there is no provision in our country's laws that assumptions are not allowed in court?"
"Besides, I am also trying to clarify the case!"
"You..."
Lin Hao suddenly started to act like a rogue, and Xiao Hong was so angry that she couldn't refute him.
She had to look at the judge's seat and said angrily.
"Judge, I protest!"
"The plaintiff's lawyer did not base his argument on facts, made random assumptions, and tried to trigger false associations. This is a blasphemy against the majesty of the court!"
In the judge's seat.
Facing the argument between the two, the presiding judge Gu Yi couldn't listen any more.
He immediately knocked the gavel and said solemnly.
"Please stop the meaningless arguments, both parties!"
"Also, remind the plaintiff's lawyer to speak based on facts and stop making groundless assumptions!"
Lin Hao nodded respectfully after hearing this.
"Okay, presiding judge, I'll pay attention!"
In the live broadcast room.
Although Lin Hao received the presiding judge's reminder.
But netizens still cheered.
"Haha, it feels like the opposing lawyer is angry! Lin did it on purpose, right?"
"That must be intentional! But if the Queen of Law is angered, will Lin really not be able to bear it?"
"Believe in Lin, nothing is impossible for Lin!"
"By the way, Huanyu Construction is really not going to take responsibility!"
"What about those migrant workers? They worked hard for half a year, and all of it went down the drain?"
"It's okay, with Lin here, nothing will go down the drain!"
"…………"
The trial scene.
Xiao Hong's face was slightly annoyed.
On the other hand, Lin Hao, who had just received the reminder.
He looked relaxed and complacent.
At the cost of a small reminder.
Not only did it arouse the resentment of the onlookers against Huanyu Construction.
It also stirred the emotions of the opposing lawyer.
So it's not a loss at all.
To deal with a top lawyer like Xiao Hong.
We have to use some extraordinary means!
After a short silence, Lin Hao raised his head and said.
"Judge, since the court does not allow me to make reasonable assumptions, I will speak with facts."
"I apply to summon the heads of the subcontractors of the Qifeng City project to appear in court!"
