Chapter 405 Hearing
"Back when you joined the Brotherhood of Mutants with me, didn't you think that you would end up being sent to court for trial today? You are the most unfaithful, most ruthless, most sinister and vicious villain, and you can't do anything bad." It can be seen that Lingdie is full of resentment towards him.
"Spirit butterfly, what are you messing around with? At the beginning, I only went to Saint Jesus Cathedral in New York, the temporary headquarters of the Mutant Brotherhood under your leadership, and then I left directly and decisively, because I realized the illegality of the Mutant Brotherhood, and I have never had any entanglements with the Mutant Brotherhood. I am just stating the facts. Don't maliciously slander, otherwise it will constitute a crime of smearing," Qiao Ke was heartbroken.
"What are you doing, Mr. Joe? You are threatening the witness in person, flouting the laws of this country, and the crime is even worse!"
Feeling Choco's anger, the senator immediately quit. For him, Choco is too strong, and he has taken all the benefits, so he should be suppressed.
"That's enough, Mr. Judge! My lawyers, Jennifer and Ms. Matsumoto, have full power to represent me. As for cooperating with the investigation, Jessica Jones will cooperate with you! If it really doesn't work, I will hire the best team of lawyers to accompany you to the end."
Glancing at the aggressive judge and jury, as well as the stunned audience, Qiao Ke lost his patience long ago, stood up, and then left his seat, ignoring everyone, and walked out of the courtroom.
So in the end, the senator and judge on the stage could only howl like a defeated dog, screaming at Qiao Ke's back:
"Joe, you can't escape. You have plundered, used all kinds of illegal means to amass wealth, and have trampled on the laws of this country. You will be punished by law and justice, I promise!"
"Your promise is meaningless, Your Excellency." Facing the howling of a defeated dog, Qiao Ke walked away without even turning his head.
The judicial procedures in the United States are very cumbersome, and it is basically impossible to sue a rich man. The rich can hire a team of professional and excellent lawyers, and slowly sue you, and spend with you forever.
This kind of professionals only picks out legal loopholes. Once a legal loophole is found, the criminal facts need to be re-examined. It will take a long time to investigate and collect evidence and review statements. Some may take several years or even more than ten years. Once a case is finalized, the meaning of filing a lawsuit will be long lost.
The rich are just throwing some money out to fight lawsuits, it is irrelevant, and nothing else hinders or consumes him.
So in fact, Tony and Joko didn't care about this kind of lawsuit at all. It was just that some people in the authorities prevented them from getting carried away and deliberately braided them.
Pushing open the gate of the court, Qiao Ke was flooded by countless spotlights in an instant, making him unable to open his eyes. It was the light from the cameras in the hands of the reporters who had been waiting outside.
You know, not all reporters have the opportunity to enter the courtroom.
Only those very few, well-connected, powerful, and well-established big media can occupy a place in this special hearing.
The remaining small and medium-sized media can only use an old method to block the door and get the first-hand information they want in the first place.
This method is not useful every time, but today, they have an unexpected harvest.
Qiao Ke, who opened the door, was immediately blocked there, and at the same time, countless microphones were stretched out in front of him.
"Mr. Qiao, don't you worry about serious consequences for openly defying the court?"
"Joe, you said that joining various villain forces is for your secret agent work, did you already know that this unpleasant result will happen?"
"Mr. Qiao, do you accept what the previous witnesses accused you of? It's about you being a high-ranking member of various villain organizations!"
……
Countless questions were placed in front of Qiao Ke at once, and the noisy voice made his brain a little dazed.
He could only press his hands down and shouted: "Be quiet, be quiet, I have nothing to offer, please ask my personal lawyer."
This sentence caused countless reporters who squeezed over to wail, but Qiao Ke did not change his mind.
Qiao Ke didn't answer any more. His personal bodyguards, Death Girl and Spider Girl, and even She-Hulk, Ms. Bullseye, and Jewel Girl, who were chasing up from behind, all protected him.
Qiao Ke left, and the reporters naturally lost their source of news.
So soon, these journalists who were not allowed to enter the courtroom dispersed.
Of course, there must be some reporters left behind, but their goal is to follow up on the judges, witnesses, etc. of the trial.
These reporters are doing this kind of work now. For them, the future of the senators, as well as their mood at this moment, and the testimony of the witnesses are also big news that is not inferior to the real lord Qiao Ke.
Even compared to Qiao Ke, who is like a public figure, these small characters and the short stories behind them are better targets for falsification.
They are the porters of online news, the first disseminators of factual news, the spices of people's lives, and the people behind the scenes who expose the shady scenes. They are tabloid reporters, commonly known as paparazzi.
Whether it's from the entertainment industry, political circles, business circles, financial circles... there is nothing they dare not offend, and there is nothing they dare not make fun of.
As long as there are benefits to be gained, they don't care who you are?
Senator, don't be kidding, they have broken the news about the president of the United States from time to time, let alone a small senator.
They are so dedicated, and they always say a word to those who are their targets, you are welcome, these are what I should do.
S.H.I.E.L.D. is located at a base in the outskirts. On the tarmac, a Quin-jet fighter jet was parked there for maintenance. A shocking hole was broken in the fuselage, as if a prehistoric dinosaur had been knocked out of the cabin.
Sometimes, even the repairmen outside the plane could hear the roar coming from the cabin.
"Really? Really, Coulson?" Nick Fury in a black windbreaker put his hands on his hips, staring furiously at Phil Coulson in front of him, his voice was like a bell.
"Six days? In just six days, you turned a completely overhauled top-notch machine—the Quinjet fighter into a pile of scrap metal?"
He couldn't believe it. Six days ago, when he handed over this Quinjet fighter to Coulson, she was so beautiful, like the most enchanting baby, and he was very familiar with it inside and out, because this was his car once.
Now he began to wonder if it was a mistake for him to secretly save Phil Coulson.
Phil Coulson was wearing a crisp suit, just like he used to.
