The Modern Story "Witness"

Hanako was eating breakfast, when her mother came over with ironed clothes, saw that the porridge on the table was untouched, and counted down with dissatisfaction: "Why haven't you eaten porridge yet?" Hanako said, "I'm not taking the exam, so why eat this?" The mother said: "When you took the college entrance examination, didn't you win the exam as soon as you took the exam?" Go to court today, figure a lucky! Hanako looked at the meatballs, intestines, and pork liver in the large bowl of floating oil stars, and she was already sick before she ate them.

The mother sat across from Hanako, and it seemed that she was going to keep an eye on Herako and supervise him to eat.

The door of the hall was open, the rain outside the door was pouring, and a rooster and five hens hid in the house to avoid the rain, and the air was full of fishy smell. The mother muttered, "Your father has burned seven or seven, and the court finally has news." If the courtroom does not move, outsiders do not know how to look at our family! The revenge of killing his father, replaced by the second eldest of the Wu family in Xitang, had already carried an axe to cut people... Mom is not encouraging you to come, but you are also too soft-footed, as a primary school teacher for several years, year by year, weaker and weaker. ”

Hanako tried to eat a meatball, but she didn't want to, but she refused to go down in the middle of the esophagus. The mother was very unhappy and slammed the table with chopsticks. A few chickens on the ground were frightened and scurrying around.

Hanako said, "Mom, I'm going to fight today, my dad said that he'd rather die standing than live on his knees, so don't worry!" The mother burst into tears and said, "Wei Qiang was killed in heaven, with sores on his head and pus on his feet, and who in the eight townships of ten miles did not know that he was a laitou!" The government can't do anything about him, and we little people still don't let him bully? This time your father died at his hands, and you can only go out and ask for justice for the old man who is blind! ”

Hanako said, "I know. ”

When Hanako went out, two roosters fought in the yard, the crown of the chicken was red with blood, and the feathers on the neck were propped up, and neither of them would admit defeat.

At the entrance of the county court, Lawyer Hao removed the fat mound from the car and took the initiative to greet Huazi. Breathlessly, Huazi asked Lawyer Hao, "I'm not late, am I?" Lawyer Hao said: "It's not too late, the trial will have to wait for a while, take advantage of this work, I will talk to you about compensation again." Bizi asked, "Has the amount changed?" Lawyer Hao said: "There is a change, an increase of 80,000. Seeing Huazi look at him with a suspicious look, Lawyer Hao said: "The original mental loss fee was 20,000, now 100,000, we raise it according to the upper limit... Don't hide from you, Wei Qiang's side entrusted people to find me, their meaning, the sentence is shorter, the money can be more lost. Hua zi's eyes widened and she said, "Want to use money to buy a sentence?" There are no doors! Lawyer Hao said, "Huazi, rest assured, they can't buy me." As you know, I also hate Wei Qiang to the bone, and in the past ten years, I have participated in many lawsuits related to him, and my heart has been on fire for more than ten years. My increase in mental damage fees has nothing to do with the sentence, the sentence should be sentenced, the money should be taken, and he cannot be cheapened at all. ”

"In this way, the compensation fee is more than 400,000 yuan, right?" Hanako asked. Lawyer Hao said: "415,000. You see..." Lawyer Hao took out his notebook and pointed to Huazi and said, "Funeral expenses, living expenses for dependents, death compensation, mental damages... This is the sum..." Hua Zi asked thoughtfully, "How many years can the sentence be sentenced?" I think the law stipulates that the maximum is three years. Lawyer Hao said: "No, no, Wei Qiang is fully responsible, drunk, escaped, the circumstances are serious, the law is 3 to 7 years." ”

Hanako sighed and said, "What if my dad is at fault?" Lawyer Hao was stunned for a moment and said, "What is wrong with your father?" An old man crossed the street on a rainy day, he was weak, he was not at fault. Hanako said, "Suppose, suppose he is also at fault?" Lawyer Hao looked at Huazi, lowered his head, and said, "Then it will be greatly discounted." "Sentence?" Hanako asked. Lawyer Hao said: "Not only the sentence, but also the compensation has been greatly reduced. ”

Hanako was silent. Lawyer Hao pressed Huazi's thin shoulder and said, "If you want to testify in court in a moment, you must not slacken your will and be distraught... Huazi, you are the victim, don't be afraid of him, good people don't be afraid of bad people! We must use the weapon of law to punish crimes and get justice. ”

When the trial began, there were not many people in the courtroom, and there were no people who were strong and noisy on Wei Qiang's side, which was unexpected by Lawyer Hao and Huazi. It was overcast, and although the lights in the hall were on, the whole courtroom was dim. The lawyers on both sides began to state, And Hanako glanced out the window, and her spirit began to slip away.

On the afternoon of the accident, my father appeared in front of the window of the elementary school classroom, wearing a repaired black raincoat. Hanako came out of the classroom and asked him, "Dad, how did you get here?" Is there something going on? The father said, "It's all right, I just want to come and see you." Huazi was stunned for a moment and said, "I go home every day, and it's not that I don't meet..." My father didn't speak, but just stared at Huazi deadly, as if he had disappeared without looking at Huazi. Hanako said, "Dad, I don't have anything to do when I have to go back to class." Also, be careful when you go back, the road is slippery when it rains. The father nodded, saw Huazi turn around, and added, "Huazi, Dad told you two words." Your father has no ability, you have not borrowed his father's light, and your mother has not enjoyed happiness with me. You know, Dad's days are running out, and if Dad is gone, you'll have to take care of your Mom! ”

Huazi came home from work, his father had not yet returned, he went out with an umbrella to find his father, found it at 10:30 p.m. and did not find it, and then heard the bad news later... That rainy night, Wei Qiang came out of the frequent hotel, drunk and drove, and when he quickly turned around the monitored intersection, he hit a black object head-on, and the car rushed onto the sidewalk before stopping. Wei Qiang braved the rain to get out of the car, probably found that the person was dead, saw no one around, and fled in a panic.

In addition to the facts, Hanako's mind also spelled out another picture - after the diagnosis of terminal cancer, her father began to carefully plan the accident. The establishment of this accident is preconditioned: First, he chose the method of car accident because this method can obtain material compensation, so that after his death, he can leave a fortune to his wife and children. The second is to clearly marry the target. His father was a good man, he would not intentionally harm people, wei Qiang happened to be his enemy. When the old house was moved, the township government relocation compensation agreement was 90,000 yuan, Wei Qiang came to the door, wanted to give 120,000, and forcibly let his father sign the painting and transfer it to him. He played a trick, taking 200,000 yuan from the government, and the 120,000 that he promised to his father was delayed, and it took two years to give 80,000 yuan. His father nestled all his life, holding his breath in his heart and unable to come out, he used the last energy of his life to revenge and complete a feat in life. Third, Wei Qiang mixed in the hotel's song hall every day, often drunk and drove, and went on a rampage. As a result, a fatal traffic accident occurred on a rainy night, and huazi's family would receive hundreds of thousands of compensation as victims, and Wei Qiang would also be tried by law and would have to go to jail. The problem is that the case also has flaws, such as the father's subjective intentions, the nature of being hit and deliberately being hit is different, and the father went to see him at school that afternoon and said what only he knew. In this way, the flaw is in the hands of Huazi alone.

When it was Hanako's turn to testify, he stared at the national emblem for a moment and said, "I'm going to state some other facts to the court here, my father went to the school to find me on the afternoon of the accident..." The court was in an uproar. Lawyer Hao stood up anxiously and reminded Huazi in disregard of procedure: "Huazi, you must safeguard the fairness of the law!" Hanako said calmly, "I am just upholding the justice of the law..." Hanako's eyes filled with tears, and he said, "I am a teacher!" ”
