Chapter 411 This Is America
The riots on the streets have finally come to an end, but the investigation and aftermath of the case have just begun.
This shooting occurred on the street in front of Columbia University. There were many people involved. Although these street gangsters did not deliberately plan the shooting and the shootings were mostly fired into the air, many students passing by still Hit by a stray bullet.
Although there have been no fatalities yet, there are as many as 17 injured, three of whom are still lying in the intensive care unit.
Of course, the gangsters who caused the shooting also suffered heavy losses.
Three of the gangsters who caused shootings on the street were shot dead by the police who arrived, and two were shot dead by Fred's bodyguards. The five gangsters in the convenience store were all sent to the ICU by Luo Quan alone.
Because the situation was critical at the time, Luo Quan struck harder, heading towards the vital points of these people. While he was able to deal with them cleanly, he also caused a lot of damage.
In addition to these gangsters, the instigator Hank also entered the ICU.
Because he was afraid of Luo Quan's inhuman fighting power, Hank stepped on a can while escaping in a hurry and slipped. The back of his head hit the ground hard and he fell unconscious on the spot.
After being sent to the hospital for examination, it was found that he had intracranial hemorrhage, the injury was serious, and he was likely to develop into a vegetative state.
It can be seen from the surveillance that Hank no longer had the ability to infringe at that time, but Luo Quan also stopped defending at the same time.
Therefore, it is troublesome to divide responsibilities, and it is easy to cause disputes.
In addition, Luo Quan had injured so many gangsters, and the New York police used it as an excuse to assist in the investigation. Of course, Luo Quan was quickly brought out by the lawyer hired by his father.
However, because the case was not over yet, she was restricted from leaving the country and could only stay in New York to await further questioning.
During this period, the media across the United States went crazy, reporting on the shooting, and the attention of all walks of life was also focused on it.
Not only is the shooting case unique in the United States, but also because one of the people involved was Luo Quan, the most popular star at the moment.
At this time, Luo Quan was at the height of his fame. It is no exaggeration to say that even a sneeze during the live broadcast would be trending, let alone being involved in such a major case that shocked the whole country.
Not only the United States, but also major countries such as the United Kingdom, China, and Japan have also gathered a large amount of media attention in order to obtain first-hand information.
Originally, in this case, Luo Quan existed as a victim and a courageous volunteer, but a random reporter reported that the whole case suddenly changed its nature.
“In this case, all the gunmen knocked down by Luo Quan in the convenience store were black. These unlucky men did not shoot at the clerk when they entered the convenience store, but only shot at the ceiling.
Perhaps he had no choice but to shoot in self-defense after feeling the threat from Luo Quan. From another perspective, did Luo Quan, who possesses advanced fighting skills, launch such a cruel attack on these unlucky guys because he had some QS against black people? Maybe she had a higher choice, but it was just because of QS that she made such a heavy move? "
As soon as this news came out, public opinion was in an uproar. Even from the most holy point of view, Luo Quan's choice at that time was a wise and legal self-defense.
And this report completely confuses right and wrong. It is for the sake of traffic and regardless of the truth. It is really despicable.
But the person who wrote this report clearly didn’t do it for traffic.
Soon, under the influence of a certain promoter, this report appeared on the hot searches of major portal websites, and reports about ZZ discrimination in Luoquan also appeared one after another.
A large number of media seemed to be organized and premeditated to smear Luo Quan, trying to forcefully put this hat on her head.
Soon, the public's emotions were finally aroused.
They were mainly black people, and they all accused Luoquan ZZ of discrimination and asked the police to investigate and deal with them in accordance with the law.
Soon small-scale demonstrations began to appear on the streets, demanding sanctions against Luo Quan and shouting that she was the murderer.
And such a murderer is now at large, which has further aroused the anger of the people. They began to accuse the police of unfair law enforcement, special treatment of Luo Quan, a powerful and white child, and disregard of legal procedures.
Due to the pressure of public opinion, Luo Quan, who had been staying at home, was once again taken to the police station.
At this time, the pusher hiding in the dark finally showed his fangs.
Hank's father stood up and accused Luo Quan of intentional injury and political discrimination, and filed an inspection application with the New York Federal Court, requesting a thorough investigation of the case.
At this time, public opinion in the United States has been accumulated to a very high level. Not only black people, but also some white leftists believe that these problems do exist in Luoquan.
Finally, the New York federal court finally accepted the lawsuit and began hearing relevant evidence submitted by Hank's father.
It is worth mentioning that for this trial, Hank's father Hancock hired a team of lawyers, two of whom have served as legal advisers to the president, and one who has been involved in litigation for forty years. Experience, every one of the most powerful lawyers in the United States.
And now, Hancock has actually gathered three people who can fight for him. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are receiving presidential level treatment.
On Luo Quan's side, there are also several lawyers around him, all of whom were recruited by his father Eric, one each from the UK and Germany. They are all extremely experienced old lawyers, especially the one from the UK, who even Holding a royal title.
Compared to the serious and nervous lawyer, Luo Quan seemed very relaxed, as if he didn't take such a big thing to heart at all.
Eric and Luo Ni looked on worriedly.
"How can this girl still laugh? She doesn't take this matter seriously at all!" Luo Ni said bitterly.
"Sister, she has a clear conscience, so..." Leon smiled, not knowing what to say at this time.
Angela, her mother, and adoptive father were also nearby, with solemn expressions.
Although everyone here is either rich or noble, ZZ discrimination is one of the red lines in the United States. Once it happens, the president will suffer, let alone Luo Quan.
Originally, these were all untrue. Who gave Hank a rich father? This time, he did not hesitate to spend money to build momentum and wanted to harm Luo Quan.
After public opinion is stirred up, it is not that simple to suppress it.
In addition, Eric did not expect that Hancock would do such an outrageous thing. While driving public opinion, he even found a team of lawyers. It can be said that it took a long time to plan.
At this moment, Fred walked in.
"How's it going? What did your father say?" Leon and Seifert hurried forward to ask.
"My dad went to talk to Hancock himself, and he said that if his son didn't wake up for a day, he would let Luo Quan wear it in prison.
Everything can be said once Hank wakes up, but now..."
"This old thing can't get enough of it!" Leon cursed bitterly.
In fact, not only Fred's father, but Angela's adoptive father Harris also came forward to talk to Hancock as a family member of the victim.
After all, Hank ended up like this this time because he was pestering Angela, and he was on their side no matter what.
The plan given by Harris was not to hold Hank accountable and to work with Eric to provide Hank with the best medical treatment possible. The only requirement was to withdraw the lawsuit and public opinion attacks against Luo Quan.
Unexpectedly, Hancock readily admitted his mistake to Harris and was willing to bear all Angela's mental losses, but Luo Quan's matter was not negotiable.
Eric also asked people from the Rothschild family to serve as lobbyists, thinking that if the soft one doesn't work, he will be tough.
Unexpectedly, Mr. and Mrs. Hancock refused to accept any soft words and directly spoke out in the media, saying that the sinners must pay the price even if they lose their wealth and lives.
Now the whole country was aware of it, and there was nothing Auburn could do about it.
Dealing with these two couples is very simple for Auburn. He has countless ways to make them disappear, even under police protection.
But now all the people are looking at these two couples. If something happens, Luo Quan is probably really hopeless.
There was no way, Hancock always had a son, and he valued his only son more than his own life. Now that Hank might become a vegetable, it would be strange if Hancock didn't go crazy.
During the conversation, Hancock also asked the same question about Auburn, Eric, Fred’s father, and Harris:
"If your son or daughter might become a vegetative state, would you let the murderer go? Even if you could get ten billion dollars in compensation?"
This is a question that has no second answer at all. No father will let the murderer of his son go, even if they know it is their son's fault.
Eric sighed: "Now we can only hope that the judge will enforce the law impartially."
Luo Ni: "If that doesn't work, let China extradite my daughter. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has issued statements many times expressing concern about the case. My daughter seems to have a lot of connections in China."
Eric sighed again: "It's a pity that I don't have many acquaintances there."
Now that everyone has basically done everything they can, the rest can only be prayed for Luo Quan.
……………………
2018.1.20, this is a day destined to be remembered by people.
On this day, almost the entire United States came to a standstill because of a court trial in New York State. From the president to ordinary people, everyone watched the trial of the century on their mobile phones and TVs.
There has never been a case that has attracted such high attention as this trial. China, Britain, Germany, Japan, the United States, and many major countries have broadcast the trial. Before the trial began, the Queen of England even made a public statement. The statement stated that it is hoped that the presiding judge in charge of this trial can handle the case in an objective and fair manner.
The police car escorting the defendant slowly drove to the entrance of the court, which was already surrounded by countless reporters. The bailiffs tried their best to maintain order at the scene and prevented the enthusiastic reporters from breaking through the guardrails.
The police car opened and Luo Quan, who had disappeared for many days, finally appeared in front of the camera.
Today she is wearing an ordinary jacket. To protect the brand image of Chanel, she is not wearing Chanel today.
Just like when he first traveled through time, the clothes he wore were so ordinary, and his taste was so bad that it made people complain.
However, Luo Quan felt that this was his truest appearance.
Contrary to outside rumors, she did not suffer any abuse in the detention center. The female police officer who guarded her was very friendly to her. The police officer told her the names of the media outside who defended her.
While in the detention center, she did not suffer from insomnia, nor did her hair turn gray overnight or lose weight overnight.
When she got off the police car, she was in very good spirits, with a beautiful face and a smile that fascinated people.
No matter what situation she encounters, she is undoubtedly the most beautiful in the world.
It is worth mentioning that the new list of the world's most beautiful has come out, but due to pressure from public opinion, the TCC has not yet announced the news that Luo Quan has won the title again, and wants to wait until the case is heard before making any plans.
"Luo Quan, do you have anything to say about Mr. Hancock's accusation against you?"
"Luo Quan, what do you think about ZZ discrimination?"
………………
Several reporters took advantage of Luo Quan's advance and shouted loudly.
Luo Quan did not answer, but just said: "I love those who love me, and I hate those who hate me."
There is no Count of Monte Cristo in this world.
But she felt that she could, like Edmond Dantes, save the day and stage the return of the king.
Entering the court, all the noise from the outside world is cut off.
Luo Quan's relatives and friends were all sitting in the auditorium, and Wen Xia, Junzi and the others were also present.
On the other side, there is Mr. Hancock and their team of lawyers, including a black lawyer. Judging from the position, he will be the main attacker today.
Luo Quan was brought to the dock by the bailiff, and behind him was a large public jury, with whites, blacks, Hispanics, and Asians each cut into quarters.
After waiting for about ten minutes, the judge, jurors, and prosecutors of the court were all seated.
First, the judge asks everyone to stand up, reads the court rules, and then the court officially opens.
First, the plaintiff and defendant lawyers each read out their evidence and defense.
After hearing the case, the judge confirmed that there was no problem and then asked the plaintiff to start questioning the defendant's room.
The person who started the inquiry was indeed the black lawyer. Everyone originally thought that he would ask Luo Quan about the case. What everyone didn't expect was that the person he was asking turned out to be Luo Quan's defense lawyer!
"Mr. Defense Lawyer, do you have any discrimination against black people?"
When these words came out, almost everyone was shocked.
The German lawyer who was asked frowned, thought for a while and then replied: "Of course not, sir, I don't QS black people."
"Mr. Judge, this defense lawyer said that he does not hate black people. However, according to the intelligence I have collected, this lawyer has made extremely negative remarks about the black community."
The black lawyer said, providing the judge with a video and documents.
The videos shown above are all from more than ten years ago. In it, Luo Quan's defense lawyer did say something about QS black people, but that was it, but the plaintiff found it.
The German lawyer turned pale instantly: "I protest that my words and deeds have nothing to do with the case being heard in this court!"
The judge banged his gavel: "The protest is invalid."
The black lawyer pursued the victory: "I protest, Mr. Judge, I don't want such a QS black lawyer to serve as the defendant's defense lawyer!"
The judge showed no emotion and said: "The protest is valid!"
