Chapter 431 Two insurances? Summon Chef Wang again

   Zhang Wei's question surprised many people.

   What's wrong with you, you have to ask Chef Wang's relationship with Lao Tan?

  A lot of people in court are incredible.

  Because they have a good relationship, you can't watch it yourself?

  Didn't you see that Chef Wang has completed his testimonials, and are you still there to support the old talk?

  Don did not hear what Chef Wang said when he testified yesterday.

  Old Tan and I have known each other for more than ten years. Everyone learned cooking skills together, and went out to open a restaurant together. The two of them took out some of their savings together and worked hard for their careers together.

How can two people like    have a bad relationship?

   "Ms. Liu, please answer my question, is the relationship between Chef Wang and Lao Tan good?"

   "I believe that as the most senior employee who has been with them for 11 years, you should have the most say?"

   Zhang Weike doesn't care what other people think, he only cares about the answer to the question.

"this…"

  Ms. Liu recalled carefully, "The relationship between the boss and Chef Wang should be very good. When they started their business, they were just like brothers!"

   "Oh, at first?"

  Zhang Wei quickly caught a point and looked suspicious.

  Ms. Liu looked embarrassed, but after looking around the court, she still confessed: "How can I put it, even after many people have been together for a long time, this contradiction will appear."

contradiction!

The word    is not a good thing.

   Many people in the courtroom, the hearing bench and the jury, all frowned upon hearing this word.

   Here, is there really something that they don't know about?

   "Ms. Liu, please think about it carefully, recall it, and then tell us, what is the conflict between Lao Tan and Chef Wang?"

   "It's about the operation of the restaurant and the boss's work focus. Chef Wang has not been satisfied with the boss's performance in recent years, and even..."

   "Even what happened?" Zhang Wei hurriedly asked.

  Ms. Liu glanced at Chef Wang and bowed her head in embarrassment: "That is, they sometimes quarrel, and the noise is loud!"

   As soon as this statement came out, many people in the court were surprised.

   "Oh, quarrels, but when we do business in partnership, disputes arise in business, and quarrels are also common."

  Zhang Wei laughed, and after a calm ridicule, he then asked, "Ms. Liu, do they quarrel frequently?"

   "At first there was occasional noise, then..."

  Ms. Liu stopped talking again.

   "What happened after that?"

   Seeing Zhang Wei's questioning, Ms. Liu was helpless and could only confess: "To be honest, since the boss's wife has been coming to the restaurant, the conflict between Chef Wang and the boss has gradually increased."

   "Oh, has something to do with the lady boss?"

  Zhang Weiwei gave Chen Xiaoyu a meaningful look.

   "Yeah, it has a lot to do with the lady boss."

  Ms. Liu sighed again, "Actually, I can't blame the boss and Chef Wang for this, mainly because the lady boss is too rich."

   "Think about it, the boss and Chef Wang have worked so hard to earn tens of thousands of dollars a year after removing the necessary expenses."

   "We all heard that the boss's ex-husband is very rich. Although she and her ex-husband are divorced, she can get millions of dividends from each other every year."

   Zhang Wei nodded and asked, "Does everyone know about this?"

   "Yeah, the employees who come to the store a little bit know it, so we all said in private that the boss is under a lot of pressure."

   "It doesn't matter if the proprietress is beautiful, the key is to earn so much money every year, and the boss wants to prove himself. It must be difficult for these two to get along..."

  Ms. Liu said this with a look of helplessness.

   It’s the same as whoever comes here. Your wife has millions of dollars a year, and you can’t earn a few dollars a year. Are you uncomfortable?

   "Then I'm wondering, what does the estrangement between Lao Tan and Ms. Chen have to do with Chef Wang?"

  Ms. Liu shook her head with a complicated look, "Maybe it's jealousy."

"envy?"

   "Yeah, jealous!"

   Seeing Zhang Wei's question, Ms. Liu replied affirmatively: "Our old employees can see that Chef Wang is actually jealous that the boss can find such a rich and beautiful woman as the lady boss."

   Having said that, Ms. Liu has no scruples anymore. Anyway, the rumors that should be revealed have been revealed, so what else can be done?

   "Actually, we all said in private that every time Chef Wang sees the boss and the boss's wife, there is something wrong with the look in his eyes. I think it's obviously jealous."

   "Can the old employees see it?"

   "Yeah, you can see that, some of our old employees gossip in private, saying that the boss has found the boss's wife, and I don't know if it's good luck or bad."

   "Then Chef Wang is jealous of old talk, so the two often quarrel?"

   "Yes, most of the time it's trivial things, but the two of them suddenly quarreled for no reason."

   Ms. Liu said, lowering her voice, "I think it's jealousy, and Chef Wang is jealous!"

   "Jealous?"

  Zhang Weiwei looked at the front row of the hearing room meaningfully.

   Chef Wang's face immediately became a little ugly after Ms. Liu let go of herself and told all the gossip about the restaurant.

   Feeling the scrutiny from all around him, he clenched his fists with both hands and clenched his fingers.

   "Objection, hearsay evidence!"

   But at this moment, an interruption from the prosecution seat attracted everyone's attention.

   "What is the defense doing? After calling witnesses to appear in court, they actually started chatting about gossip?"

  Hou Liangliang pointed at Zhang Wei and looked at the court seat with a look of disdain: "Judge Liu, will you allow the defense lawyer to say some innocuous things in the courtroom and talk about some non-existent things?"

   "This..." Judge Liu refuted quite a few for a while.

"Judge Liu, the question I asked is not irrelevant, and Ms. Liu's answer is not false. In fact, she also said that many old employees in the restaurant know these things, so if I am calling other employees to testify, I can Prove that these are not rumors, nor so-called hearsay evidence!"

   Zhang Wei was ready to speak, and even gave Hou Liangliang a provocative look.

   "Lawyer Zhang is right, and the objection is invalid."

   Judge Liu decided to support Zhang Wei, after all, what he explained was reasonable.

  Hou Liangliang looked unhappy, and immediately asked Zhang Wei, "But what's the point of letting the witness say this?"

  What Ms. Liu said was all gossip about the restaurant.

   This time the case was arson, a restaurant fire and explosion, and even an employee lost his life.

   But you gossip in court?

   Hou Liangliang secretly resented why he didn't call the deceased employees, that is, the families of the victims, and asked them to "act the truth" in the hearing box.

   Knowing that Zhang Wei was going to rectify this, he should have done it directly and let the victim's family drag his family to the court to cry and create pressure on the court!

   "What's the point?"

   Zhang Wei was rather amused when he heard Hou Liangliang's question.

   "These questions are of great significance!"

   "Impossible, what's the point of gossip?"

   "The meaning of these gossip is to prove one thing!"

   Zhang Wei said, raised a finger, and his tone suddenly increased: "The person who set fire to the restaurant is probably not my client, but Chef Wang!"

   As soon as this statement came out, the audience was in an uproar.

   Many people raised their heads in surprise and looked at Zhang Wei in the courtroom.

   Many people also turned to look at Chef Wang.

   "Impossible, you are speculating for no reason!"

   "Wrong, I made these, and they are all based on evidence!"

   Facing Hou Liangliang's denial, Zhang Wei sneered and took out a USB flash drive directly from his pocket.

The moment    saw the USB flash drive, everyone in the court subconsciously looked at Tan Yingying on the prosecution seat.

   It's up to you, professionals!

  Tan Yingying bowed her head in love, shouting, "Can't see me, can't see me, can't see me..."

   "Xiao Tan, did you bring a notebook?"

  Tan Yingying almost cried, did I bring a notebook, does it still make sense?

   woo woo, I am a tool man, and I cannot escape in my life.

  Tan Yingying, with a face of despair, could only take the USB flash drive in Zhang Wei's hand, then opened the portable notebook, connected to the projector, and the movements were done in one go.

   In less than ten seconds, a picture appeared on the projection screen.

   "Cough, Judge Liu, in order to cooperate with the evidence I will show next, I hope to ask the court to re-subpoena Chef Wang to testify in court, is that okay?"

"This…"

   Judge Liu hesitated because your current witness has not cross-examined.

   "Prosecutor, if you object, this court..."

   "Hey, it's okay!"

   Hou Liangliang did not object, and even gave Zhang Wei a disdainful look.

   At present, the witness is Ms. Liu, an old restaurant employee. The testimony he gave was some trivial gossip, and it was not meaningful for him to question him.

  Since Zhang Wei wants to prove something, he can continue, and then find a flaw and refute it.

   "Okay, Ms. Liu, you can go down. Please witness Chef Wang and go to court again for questioning!"

   At the announcement of Judge Liu, Ms. Liu left the table, and Chef Wang sat back to the witness box again.

   "Cough, hello Chef Wang!"

   Zhang Wei smiled and greeted the person in front of him.

   "Hello, lawyer."

   Chef Wang responded and suddenly said, "Although I don't know what you are going to prove, I am absolutely innocent!"

   "Really, innocent?"

  Zhang Wei laughed with a hint of mockery on his face.

   On the witness stand, you can't escape!

   As for whether you are innocent or not?

   That's not up to you, but by evidence!

   on the projection screen, start playing the evidence.

   "Everyone, please look at the big screen. Here is an insurance contract. It is a shop property insurance contract signed by my client Tan Zhiqi and the insurance company. The insured amount is 3 million. The beneficiaries of the insurance are him and Chef Wang."

"However, because of the different ratios of premiums, the beneficiaries receive different amounts. Let me put it this way, if my client is innocent in this case and the fire is an accident, then he can benefit more than 2.7 million, while Chef Wang can also get 300,000 compensation."

On the    screen, some key numbers are circled for everyone to see clearly.

  The agreement of the insurance contract, everyone actually knows, because they have heard the prosecution mentioned it.

   The insurance contract was quickly overturned.

   "Everyone should have read this contract, but I have a question here. I believe everyone may have a doubt, that is, if the case is finally determined to be deliberate arson, will the insurance company pay?"

   Many people in the court rolled their eyes, can this be compensated?

   You are a fool to be an insurance company?

  If you have an accident, they may pay, but they may not pay.

   After all, who can say clearly about the insurance company.

   But as long as you have a little intentional behavior, they will definitely not pay.

   "Yes, I believe that many people have the answer in their hearts, and the insurance company will definitely not pay!"

   Zhang Wei said and smiled, "So, not only can I not get 2.7 million in the old talk, but Chef Wang can't get insurance compensation of 300,000, right?"

   "What's the point of this?" Hou Liangliang stood up again at the prosecution table.

   "Don't worry, something exciting is coming!"

   Zhang Wei told him to be calm.

   "Xiao Tan, click on the next contract!"

  Tan Yingying immediately followed suit and opened the second folder, which contained a new insurance contract.

   "Everyone, please see, this is a new insurance contract, and who is the insured, can everyone see clearly?"

  Zhang Wei thought it through, and even circled a line of red on the contract, for fear that someone could not see it clearly.

   "Chef Wang!"

  In the courtroom, someone exclaimed, from the defense seat, it was an old talk.

   Many people are also surprised, how come there is still an insurance contract, and the insured is actually Chef Wang himself.

   "Are you wondering why there is still a contract?"

   "And have you seen that, the terms of this contract are different from the previous one."

   "Let me explain to everyone here, what's going on with this contract!"

   Zhang Wei said, motioning for Tan Yingying to continue the operation, and some terms on the projection screen were also marked with red lines.

"Look here, everyone, this contract states that if there is a natural or man-made disaster during the restaurant's operation, or even someone deliberately sets fire to it, as long as the person responsible for the accident is no longer on the insured person, then he can Get compensation."

   "Let's take a look at the amount of insurance and compensation. It is stated on it that the compensation is a full 4 million."

Zhang Wei said, raised his finger and pointed to Chef Wang, "In other words, even if the prosecution wins the case, Lao Tan is convicted of arson, and the cause of the restaurant fire lies in Lao Tan, the first insurance contract is invalid, and the second insurance contract is invalid. Insurance contracts are just as valid."

   "Because as long as the responsibility is not on Chef Wang himself, then the insurance clause can be established, and Chef Wang will receive a full 4 million compensation!"

   When this statement came out, everyone was surprised.

   I never thought that Chef Wang would take out such an insurance policy.

   "Chef Wang, is the contract I showed true, please answer me?"

   Zhang Wei came to the witness stand again and asked with a smile.

   "I'll take out an insurance policy for my own business, so what's the problem?"

   "That's the explanation, you admit it?"

   Chef Wang didn't deny it, and didn't even bother to answer.

   "Xiao Tan, the next one!"

   Hearing Zhang Wei's order, Tan Yingying immediately switched to the next chapter of photos.

   What appeared this time was something like an X-ray photo, but the background was vaguely visible, like a restaurant kitchen.

   "Everyone, please see, this is the inspection photo provided by a fire expert I hired. In fact, after I went to the scene that day, I had a doubt."

"I smelled a pungent smell at the fire scene, and one of the smells was like gasoline, which made me wonder, gasoline is not a common cleaning product in the kitchen, so I asked a fire expert to help me to be strict. I analyze it."

   "This expert is very professional, he helped me recheck the chemical residues at the fire scene with chromatography and spectroscopic analysis, and guess what?"

   Zhang Wei said this, and deliberately paused, arousing the interest of everyone on the scene.

   "It turned out that he actually found the residue of the burning gasoline!"

gasoline!

  The jury looked at each other, the hearing bench whispered, and even Xiao Liu on the bench was startled.

   Gasoline in the kitchen?

  What does this represent, it represents an ironclad proof of deliberate arson!

   "Gasoline, how is that possible!" Hou Liangliang stood up straight, looking surprised.

   "Why is it impossible, this expert is an expert consultant of the fire department. If you don't believe his test report, then I have nothing to say!"

   After Zhang Wei refuted one sentence, he looked at the witness stand again.

   "Chef Wang, let me ask, there is gasoline in the kitchen of the restaurant, is this possible?"

"This…"

   Chef Wang was speechless for a while.

   "Forget it. You don't have to answer and it's fine. Anyway, we all know that there is an open flame in the kitchen, and gasoline is flammable. I guess even Xiaozhi knows that gasoline can't be put in the kitchen!"

  Zhang Wei pointed to Tan Xiaozhi in the hearing booth and smiled.

   Many people in the courtroom also laughed.

   This is something that children know, gasoline needs to be kept away from open flames, and it is even less likely to appear in the back kitchen.

   "Chef Wang, last question, the fire broke out around 0:00 on the weekend, where were you at that time?"

   "I...I'm drinking at a bar!"

   Chef Wang was asked by Zhang Wei and quickly explained: "I'm too busy at work on weekends. After get off work, I went to the bar for a drink, and then went home very late. The bar has my consumption record!"

   "Yeah, you went to the bar, but you lied too!"

Zhang Wei looked at Chef Wang's hand and smiled: "You were actually busy until about 10 o'clock in the evening, then went to the bar to drink, left the bar at 11 o'clock, and then you returned to the restaurant, right? "

   "How is it possible, what am I going to do when I go back?"

   "Of course I'm going back to set fire!"

   "What evidence do you have!"

   "Why, you don't deny it, but ask me for evidence?"

"This…"

   Hearing Zhang Wei's ridicule, Chef Wang's expression changed.

But before he could respond, Zhang Wei approached with a sneer, "You know, you are still quite healthy, at least you know how to exercise, wear a smart watch every day to detect heart rate data, it's really hard for you. !"

   Chef Wang lowered his head and looked at the smart watch in his hand.

   "Do you think this is an ordinary watch?"

   "Then I can tell you that this watch is not only not ordinary at all, but also has GPS positioning."

"Let me tell you again, this watch was developed by Blacksmith Technology, and I happen to know the chief R&D officer of Blacksmith Technology. You said that if I asked him to help locate a user's itinerary on weekends, do you think he would help? Are you busy?"

   Having said that, Zhang Wei was already smiling.

   When Chef Wang heard these words, his face became extremely ugly.

  The smart watch in his hand can really show everything he does?
