98: Just two cars

Normally, we report cases to the police station, no need to doubt that.

The Public Security Bureau also has a hierarchy; ordinary cases are generally under the jurisdiction of grassroots Public Security Bureaus, and only those that cannot be handled locally will be reported upwards.

The situation with Zhou Yun this time was a bit special, after all, there had never really been a case of this type before.

So, when he came to report the case this time, he was prepared to find an acquaintance. After all, this was delivering KPIs, even if the other party might not be too fond of it…

The van couldn't be driven directly into the yard. Zhou Yun stood at the entrance and dialed a number.

“Hello, Police Officer Hong, are you at the City Bureau right now?”

The person he was looking for was Hong Yongze, the Police Officer who handled the Kang Weilun case. He was a good person, just his hair was a bit too thick, indicating his workload wasn't heavy enough.

He still needed to be given more responsibilities.

Inside the sub-bureau, Hong Yongze was just looking at some documents when he heard the voice and smiled, “Lawyer Zhou, I’m here. What can I do for you? The Kang Weilun case should have already been dropped, right?”

If it were any other Lawyer calling, Hong Yongze wouldn't have answered, but Zhou Yun was different.

Or rather, Zhou Yun's name was already well-known within Jinghai City’s political and legal system.

Zhou Yun's voice came from the phone: “Yes, the Procuratorate decided not to prosecute. Police Officer Hong, I’m here to report a case to you today.”

Upon hearing this, Hong Yongze immediately said, “Lawyer Zhou, then you should go to the police station to report the case.”

“The main thing is that this case is a bit special. Look, Police Officer Hong, I’m right outside your sub-bureau. How about you come out for a moment?”

Special? Hong Yongze chuckled: “Lawyer Zhou, I’m a criminal Police Officer. What kind of case haven’t I seen? Special… Let me see. Wait for me for ten minutes.”

This was considered giving face, but face, something like that, is only useful the first or second time.

If you do this every time, people will just handle things as they normally would.

Although theoretically you have to report cases to the police station, it was fine for Hong Yongze to go directly. It’s serving the people, so no one could say there was a problem with that.

Of course, Hong Yongze only wanted to meet Zhou Yun.

Ten minutes later, at the main entrance.

“Lawyer Zhou, what’s going on? Why are you being so mysterious? Couldn’t you just come right in?”

Zhou Yun smiled and said, “I could go in directly, but the evidence for my case can’t go in.”

“It’s like this: didn’t I take on that Kang Weilun case before? Then I was doing labor arbitration for him, and it turned out that the labor boss he injured was a bit too arrogant.”

“I just found about two hundred people to sue him together. You’d say there’s nothing wrong with that, right? But he actually cursed at me, saying that all labor agencies in Jinghai operate this way and told me to sue them all if I had the guts…”

As Zhou Yun spoke, Old Hong’s eyes widened.

“Wait, wait, wait, Lawyer Zhou, what did you say? You just found over two hundred people to sue together? No, this is a bit…”

Zhou Yun said righteeously, “Those two hundred-plus people and Kang Weilun were all in the same situation; they were all denied wages using the same methods, so I helped them file for arbitration.”

“Hey, Old Hong, don’t interrupt. It’s that sentence he said, that all labor agencies in Jinghai operate this way, and he told me to sue them all if I had the guts.”

“Old Hong, you know me. I can’t stand being provoked. If he tells me to sue, I definitely have to sue. Coincidentally, I also wanted to do a Jinghai City labor market research report, so I found about twelve thousand people…”

Hong Yongze was stunned: “And then? Were all those people willing to sue?”

He knew very well that the most important thing in a lawsuit was money, the cost.

Zhou Yun smiled and said, “Of course they were willing to sue, because I would give them investigation fees for the survey, and coincidentally, this money was the same as the law firm’s fees… Our director can testify!”

“In short, everyone sued together, and now I find that all labor agencies in Jinghai are like that!”

As he spoke, Zhou Yun pulled out a document, titled “Jinghai City Labor Market Research Report.”

He had already written this document and planned to publish it publicly after this case.

If the Public Security Bureau was willing to handle it, more content would be added to the report. If they weren't willing, then more content would also be added.

Threat? What is a threat? This is purely an academic attitude. As everyone knows, academic work must be rigorous!

Hong Yongze took the report and began to read it, becoming more and more alarmed. He knew that there was a lot of chaos in the labor market, but he didn't know it was this extensive!

Twelve thousand people! This was just what Zhou Yun had collected himself, and even this was already astonishing.

“So, Old Hong, what do you say? Given such a serious situation, can we use the crime of illegal business operations to crack down on them?”

“Here, I’ve brought all the evidence.”

Evidence? Hong Yongze put down the report and looked around: “Where is it? This report can’t count as evidence.”

Zhou Yun walked to the side of the van and pulled open the sliding door. Immediately, a van full of papers appeared before Hong Yongze.

“Here it is. And that other car too. There’s a bit too much, so it’s not convenient to take it inside.”

Looking at the two vans, Old Hong subconsciously swallowed, feeling a chill down his spine.

As everyone knows, a van is like a four-dimensional pocket; you never know how much it can hold.

Like in a certain magical great nation, you never know how many people are in their cars until they get out.

Hong Yongze composed himself slightly, walked to the van, and casually picked up a document to look at.

Then… Old Hong once again felt his scalp tingle.

Because these materials had already been prepared as evidence!

What does it mean to be prepared as evidence? It means that according to the format for prosecution, every piece of material clearly stated what it proved.

It could be said that they were interlinked, and the chain of evidence was already laid out for you. With a little organization, not to mention the Public Security Bureau, even the Procuratorate could directly take them and initiate public prosecution…

This was no longer just preparing the meal and feeding it to you; this was already eating the meal for him. He could be full just by looking at it.

However, it must be said, Old Hong quite liked this method of reporting a case.

After all, it was evidence prepared by a top criminal defense Lawyer, with clear logic, making it very comfortable to look at.

But that wasn't all. Zhou Yun quickly pulled out several more documents and said, “And this: the Arbitration Committee and labor inspection departments in several districts have all suggested cracking down on this situation.”

Looking at the documents stamped with official seals in front of him, Hong Yongze’s expression became serious. If before it was just Zhou Yun’s idea, now, the situation was different.

Well, he only intended to meet him before coming, but now he couldn’t go back!

Although Zhou Yun had organized the materials very well, they still had to go through them, but fortunately, this case involved other districts, so it should be reported to the City Bureau.

Let the City Bureau have a headache.

“Lawyer Zhou, please wait a moment. Let them drive the cars into the yard. I’ll go report to the leader.”

The vans drove into the sub-bureau’s yard, and Hong Yongze quickly jogged to find his captain and reported the situation.

After listening, the captain leaned over the window and looked at the two vans in the yard, his face also turning green. However, now he could only go and report to the bureau leader.

Ten minutes later, the bureau leader looked at the two people in front of him, hesitated, and then said, “Let’s talk privately for a moment. You said this Zhou Yun, is he mentally… *cough* *cough*, never mind. First, have someone accept the materials.”

“Others have gone to this extent, so we definitely have to accept it. Otherwise, if the other party posts the video online, we will be very passive.”

Zhou Yun waited outside for a long time, and then he saw many Police Officers walk out.

“Lawyer Zhou, the leader has decided to accept the case. Let’s move the evidence inside first!”

After speaking, Old Hong saw that the seemingly thin Lawyer Zhou picked up a thick stack of materials with one hand and walked inside.

Everyone looked at each other. Someone went up, intending to carry a stack, but found they couldn't even lift one stack.

Holy cow, with such strength, you’re a Lawyer?

With this strength, he could probably flatten the opposing Lawyer with one punch, right?
