Chapter 403 Special Confidentiality Agreement, is it not a big problem?

"All rise!"

   Hearing this familiar speech, the courtroom, which was still having some discussions, also fell silent.

  Everyone's eyes are looking straight ahead.

   saw Lao Li wearing a dark robe and thick black-rimmed glasses, yawning at the corner of his mouth, and walked quickly into the courtroom.

   Looking at his mental state, he knew that Lao Li didn't sleep well yesterday.

  Zhang Weilie expresses his sympathy.

   In order to prevent conflicts of interest, and to avoid suspicion, Lao Li hasn't gone home to see his wife and daughter these days. It's embarrassing for him.

   Lao Li took his seat and scanned the audience.

   "Hehe, since both of you, the prosecution and the defense are here, this court announces that the first hearing of Zhao Xiaoxiao, Liu Dashun and Zhu Erdan's espionage indictment will now begin!"

The    gavel was knocked down, which also represented the beginning of the first day of the trial.

   "The prosecution?"

   "Okay, Judge Lee!"

   Qin Yang was named, got up and walked to the court.

   "The prosecution called the first witness, the director of Yuanfeng Shipyard to appear in court!"

   Hearing the first prosecution witness, Zhang Wei was a little surprised.

   He thought that Qin Yang would let Liu Xiaotao from the witness stand testify in court, but he did not expect that this would be the first home court.

   The surname of the director of Yuanfeng Shipyard is Hai. He is a gray-haired, sixty-year-old old man with a strong body. Qin Yang also calls him Director Hai.

   "Hello, Director Hai!"

   "Hello, Prosecutor!"

  Facing the high inspector, Director Hai's expression was quite calm. After his clear eyes swept the audience, he was neither sad nor happy.

   "This old man looks like he has the background of the war department!"

   Zhang Wei also glanced at the old man for the first time, and saw the extraordinaryness of the other party.

   This old man had thick calluses on his hands and scars on his arms. Whether he was standing or sitting at the entrance, he spit out a neat and clean expression, almost the same as his uncle Xia Qianjun.

   People from the War Department!

   In other words, this old man was once a good player in the war department.

   Zhang Wei's eyes focused on Qin Yang again.

   He wanted to see what kind of questions this one would ask.

   "Director Hai, was your company attacked by hackers last March?"

"Yes, it was probably in early March. During that time, there were always problems with the production equipment and instruments in our factory. But our shipyard has been in business for almost 30 years, and we carry out regular equipment maintenance and factory overhaul every year. It is theoretically impossible for our equipment to fail!"

   "So we deduced that the problem with the device itself is not a problem, and the so-called problem actually comes from the outside!"

   Hearing the witness's answer, Qin Yang nodded.

   "How did you find the problem?"

   "During that period, order information and production data were lost in our shipyard. Naturally, we did not dare to neglect and immediately contacted the relevant person in charge of the matter for investigation."

   "But the first time I checked, I couldn't find the problem. Even the second time, the relevant parties sent a professional team to test, but they didn't find the source of the problem right away."

   Hai said this with a helpless expression on his face, "Until later, an expert came to our factory with a full set of data monitoring equipment for investigation. From a metal handicraft I put in the office, I searched for a little signal source."

   "Later I found out that there is a so-called data acquisition device installed inside this handicraft, which is a monitoring instrument."

   Qin Yang pretended to be surprised, "Director Hai, the person who gave you the handicrafts, he..."

   "There is no problem with the other party. A relevant person conducted a background check on him. When the handicraft was released from his hands, it was just an ordinary handicraft."

   "Where is the problem?"

   "The problem is that the crafts entered the postal system, and the crafts were tampered with during the period when they arrived at my place!"

   Director Hai's explanation did not arouse many doubts in the courtroom.

   They are all a little strange, why this old man who runs a private shipyard has to testify in court.

   "That is to say, someone has manipulated the handicrafts, and then secretly used the monitoring equipment and data theft instruments installed inside the handicrafts to illegally collect information and monitor data on the factory you run?"

"Yes."

"So……"

Qin Yang paused for a while, then put his hands together, rubbed them together, and asked tentatively, "I don't know Director Hai, can you tell everyone where your shipyard's real orders come from, after all, there are many people in the court who are confused. "

   "They are very curious when they want to come. Why is there a witness like Director Hai when it is clearly the scene of the prosecution for espionage?"

Director Hai sighed: "Since that incident, our cooperation with Party A has to be suspended, and our factory has been serving Party A from the first day of construction to last year. Since If we can't receive the order from Party A, then we have no choice but to disband the factory and repatriate the employees."

"As for the matter that everyone is curious about, I can also selectively tell you that the objects our factory serves have always been an organization under the Ministry of War, and some of the equipment produced by our factory is also directly supplied to that organization for assembly. of."

   He said, but his face was helpless: "Who would have thought that such a gadget would cause nearly 300 employees in our factory to lose their jobs, and even the relevant parties would need to spend huge manpower and material resources to investigate information leakage incidents!"

"Of course, even if there is news on the above, I can't see the report at the end. After all, I am only responsible for the production of the shipyard, and our factory has no business-related problems. I originally thought that our factory would continue to operate like this. Go down!"

   Director Hai said, glanced at the defense table, and fixed his eyes on Zhao Xiaoxiao and the three of them.

   There was a little stunned expression on his face, because it was really hard for him to imagine that the culprits who caused these situations were actually a few little kids.

   "Thank you for the witness's answer. I didn't expect that the company run by Director Hai is actually a direct supplier to the War Department. That's a lot of hard work..."

   Qin Yang's words did not go on, but everyone understood.

   The so-called direct supply of the War Department is naturally only the provision and production of various equipment for the War Department.

   That is to say, Yuanfeng Shipyard has the name of a private enterprise, but it has always had the background of the war department.

  The 12-member jury looked at Director Hai with a hint of respect.

   "Qin Gaojian, are you going to end the questioning?" Old Li asked Qin Yang immediately after seeing Qin Yang paused.

   "Judge Li, don't worry, I still have questions for the witnesses!"

   Qin Yang waved his hand, and then asked: "Director Hai, as far as you know, apart from your Yuanfeng Shipyard, are there other similar companies that have been attacked by hackers?"

"Yes, not only me, but several of my friends and partners have also been attacked by hackers to varying degrees since March last year. Important data such as production materials and order information of their enterprises have also appeared. Lost to varying degrees."

"You also know that although our company is privately owned, our orders and production data come from the subordinate organizations of the Ministry of War, and there must be no mistakes. As a result, all our companies must check themselves, and then All cooperation with Party A can only be interrupted."

   "Then what is your loss?" Qin Yang hurriedly asked.

"It's hard to say the loss, because we didn't do the specific statistics, and I can't see the loss report given later. But I can tell you, because of the willfulness of the young people in the court, our companies have a total of More than 10,000 people have lost their jobs. My heart aches when I think of these helpless employees who have been dismissed!"

   "Then how are they doing now, do you know the situation of some people?"

"Some people with skills are fine, at least Zhao Gechang can live a life. If there are no skills and old employees who are over 40 years old, they have no choice but to run couriers, deliver takeaways, and even move bricks at the construction site. Such an old age But they have to work hard for their lives. In the past, our factory had security, but now they work hard every day to support a family, which is really not easy."

   As soon as these words came out, many people showed sympathy.

   Indeed.

  I am approaching middle age, I have lost my job, and I don't have any skills. At this age, it is no longer the sweet spot in the workplace.

   Such an explanation made many people in the court feel the same way.

   At the same time, they also hate the sinners who caused such a situation.

   "Need to add a fire!"

   Qin Yang sensed the direction of the court, and he already knew it.

   "Thanks again to Director Hai for his answer!"

   He said, and then waved to Judge Li who was about to speak, indicating that you don't stand up yet, I still have something to say.

   Enough is enough!

  Is this endless?

  Old Li was helpless, but he could only stop the movement he just got up, and sat down on the buttocks again.

   "Ahem, fellow jurors, and everyone in the courtroom, you must be wondering why I asked Director Hai to testify in court and tell the experience of himself and his employees."

   "You must be more curious, who did this thing, and why a small handicraft that has been manipulated by others can cause such serious consequences?"

   Qin Yang said, raised his hand and pointed to the witness stand behind the defense stand.

   "I can tell you that Liu Dashun, who is sitting on the witness stand, is the one who manipulated the crafts. It was he who placed monitoring equipment in the crafts, and he was..."

   "Objection, false accusation!"

   In the face of Qin Yang's sudden accusation, Zhang Wei immediately interrupted.

   "Prosecutors speculate on their own without a warrant!"

   "Objection is valid!"

  Old Li nodded, and then his eyes warned: "Qin Gaojian, the witness you called is this one, not the one on the defense witness stand. What do you mean by accusing him?"

   "Sorry Judge, I'm here to apologize!"

   Although Qin Yang seemed to be apologizing, his expression did not change at all.

   "At the same time, I'm going to end the questioning of this witness and give the right to the defense!"

   Then, he walked directly back to the prosecution seat and let the stage out.

   "Defense!"

   Lao Li nodded to Zhang Wei and finally started to cross-examine.

   Zhang Wei got up, faced the attention of everyone in the audience, and walked to Director Hai.

   "Hello, witness!"

   "Hello, defense attorney."

  Compared to the uncooperative prosecution witnesses in the past, Director Hai's attitude is quite normal.

   "Excuse me, Director Hai, I would like to ask your shipyard's specific orders and manufactured products, such as the number of orders and equipment models, can you please tell me these easily?"

   "Sorry, lawyer, I can't tell you that because of a special nondisclosure agreement!"

   Director Hai said, and explained to the jury: "Please understand, I signed a non-disclosure agreement, and some contents are really inconvenient to disclose!"

   "Yes, the non-disclosure agreement signed by Director Hai is permanently legally binding. Except for some of the origins and qualifications of Party A, which must be explained in court, it is inconvenient for him to disclose other information."

"Because it is related to the crime of espionage, this is a compromise made by the prosecution and the war department, but apart from this information, the director of the other information sea must not disclose it, please understand the jury and the auditorium. "

After Director Hai made a speech, Qin Yang also added two sentences, which blocked Zhang Wei's next question.

  Because of a special confidentiality agreement, we cannot disclose too much information.

   Many people on the jury and the hearing bench all showed expressions of understanding.

   After all, it is for the above order, and confidentiality should be kept.

   But this confidentiality agreement also limits someone's performance.

   "Director Hai, have you read the internal investigation report on hacking time?"

   "Sorry, I don't have enough permissions to see the report content."

   "Then have you inquired about this, or has Party A gave any feedback?"

   "Sorry, subject to a special nondisclosure agreement, I can't tell you the result."

   "Then the order from your factory, the part where the data was lost, you..."

   "Sorry, subject to a special nondisclosure agreement, I can't tell you the result."

   After several questions, the answer is the same.

  The special confidentiality agreement, Zhang Wei naturally has not read it.

   He is not a related party, and it is even more impossible to obtain the original of the agreement.

   Obviously, Qin Yang had read part of the agreement, otherwise he would not have questioned the witness.

   "Is the information poor?"

   Zhang Wei glanced at the prosecution seat and finally felt the pressure.

   This is the first witness, is there nothing he can do?

   Qin Yang's face was calm, but the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

   Zhang Lang, who was also sitting on the prosecution seat, did not hide it directly, his face was full of pride.

  Boy, is there nothing we can do?

   You can't find a way to break the game, because those agreements are out of your reach.

  You can't even grasp the information, how can you possibly win!

   Zhang Lang was very shy, very shy, because he knew that Zhang Wei had nothing to do.

At the court, Zhang Wei asked a few more tentative questions, but the answers he got were the same.

   "Sorry, subject to a special non-disclosure agreement, I cannot..."

   Zhang Wei rolled his eyes, and suddenly asked with a smile, "Director Hai, are you married?"

   "Sorry, limited by..."

"Um?"

   Seeing the smile on Zhang Wei's face, Director Hai also realized that the question just now didn't seem to be restricted by the confidentiality agreement.

   I said it smoothly, subconsciously...

   "Well, ashamed to say, I sacrificed a lot in order to manage Yuanfeng Shipyard."

   "Oh, that means you're not married?"

   "Objection, irrelevant questions, harassing witnesses!"

   Just under Zhang Wei's ridicule, Qin Yang finally couldn't help it.

   "Objection is valid!"

   Lao Li also took a stand immediately.

   "Sorry, Judge Li, and Qin Gaojian. I just saw that it was not convenient for the witnesses to answer questions. I felt that the courtroom was a bit dull, so I just adjusted the atmosphere."

   "Glippy!" Seeing Zhang Wei's explanation, Qin Yang snorted coldly and sat down.

   Qin Yang was very dissatisfied with the behavior of joking in a serious court.

   Zhang Wei ignored Qin Yang and turned to look at the witness again.

   "Director Hai, let's continue!"

   He walked to the witness stand and immediately asked: "Director Hai, since you are subject to a non-disclosure agreement, I will ask you something you can answer."

   "Excuse me, did you put the handicraft you mentioned in your factory?"

"yes."

   "Just now, Gao Qin mentioned that the relevant person conducted more than two inspections, and finally found out that there are monitoring equipment hidden in the handicraft, is that true?"

"Yes."

   "Those relevant people, did they tell you clearly that Liu Dashun, who was sitting on the defense witness stand, installed a data theft device?"

"This……"

   Director Hai didn't know how to answer for a while.

   "Witness, if you have it, you have it, if you don't have it, you don't have it. I'm asking you. You know it's enough to tell me the truth. It's not difficult to answer, right?"

   Zhang Wei asked coldly, his attitude was also very flat.

   "I don't have enough authority. Naturally, I don't know the outcome of the matter. At the end of the investigation, they found the equipment and left. I don't know who put these things."

   "That's not knowing, right?"

"right!"

   "Then High Inspection Qin directly accused one of my clients as the person who installed the instruments. Is this inference a bit arbitrary?"

"be opposed to!"

   Zhang Wei's words were interrupted by Qin Yang getting up again.

"invalid objection!"

   But this time, Lao Li did not get used to him, but directly rejected it.

   Qin Yang's expression didn't change, he just glanced at Lao Li and sat down slowly.

   "Witness, please answer me. Is Qin Gaojian's suspicion of my client and his inference a little arbitrary?"

"Maybe……"

   "Witness, as a directly related party in the case back then, do you not know my client Liu Dashun at all, nor have you heard the name from any source?"

  Zhang Wei pointed to the defense witness stand and asked again.

   Director Hai hesitated for a while, then shook his head: "No."

"Thank you for your answer!"

  Zhang Wei nodded his thanks, and then said in the direction of the clerk: "Please record the clerk. The witnesses disagree with the arbitrary speculation of the prosecution's accusation of my client, Liu Dashun, and have doubts and objections!"

   The clerk naturally recorded the truth, and Zhang Wei's speech also made Qin Yang unable to help but look sideways.

   "This kid is not easy, he actually easily defused my first wave of offensive!"

   Qin Yang felt that Zhang Wei still had some skills.

   "Judge Li, we have nothing to ask about this witness!"

   The first round of cross-examination is over.

   "The prosecution?" Old Li hurriedly looked at Qin Yang.

   "The prosecution summoned the person in charge of Yuanfeng Foundry Machinery to testify in court!"

   Hearing this witness, Lao Li was not surprised.

   Even Zhang Wei knew that this was just another witness similar to Director Hai.

   However, Zhang Wei already knew about such witnesses.

   No problem!
