The kidnapping of Song Jinning and the bombing of Gu Nianzhi occurred during the Christmas Eve dinner at the Sheraton Hotel on Christmas Eve last year.
That night, Huo Shaoheng, Lu Yuan and Huo Guanchen almost cooperated, and with the support of Admiral Ji, they captured the persons involved, Guo Huining and Kevin.
Deputy Director Jia was shot dead on the spot by Lu Yuan.
And now it’s the first day of the Lunar New Year.
More than two months have passed, and the day for Kevin and Guo Huining to go to court has been pushed back again and again, and even Gu Nianzhi can't wait any longer.
Huo Shaoheng had no expression on his face and said calmly: "This case is more complicated because it involves foreigners."
"Currently Kevin's lawyers are fighting a jurisdictional lawsuit, requesting that Kevin be extradited to the United States for trial."
"He's dreaming!" Gu Nianzhi blurted out and said angrily, "Jurisdiction? I really don't know what jurisdictional issues there are in this lawsuit!"
"Are they arguing for personal jurisdiction, territorial jurisdiction, or protective jurisdiction and universal jurisdiction? - Don't tell me that the United States will also implement long-arm jurisdiction over this criminal case!"
"If you stretch your arms too far, you will be chopped off!"
Gu Nianzhi rubbed his eyebrows and felt like he had a headache.
"Long-arm jurisdiction is generally used for economic-related civil cases, and is not applicable to criminal cases in theory." Huo Shaoheng said calmly, "But the United States has sent a huge team of lawyers. The jurisdiction issues you just mentioned, Including long-arm jurisdiction, they are filing lawsuits one after another, bent on extraditing Kevin to the United States."
"Kevin is an executive of Carlyle International Investment Co., Ltd. This company is one of the best in the world. If he is really extradited to the United States, it will almost be like releasing him directly. Anyone with a brain will object." Gu Nianzhi said disapprovingly. explain.
She took out her mobile phone and started searching for online public opinions about the case.
However, things are quiet on the Internet. Discussions about this case have been deleted and filtered in the past two months, and now they have disappeared.
"Our country has not signed an extradition agreement with the United States." Lu Yuan wondered, "Or is it that I haven't come back for eighteen years and our country has already signed an extradition agreement with the United States?"
"No, but there has been a cooperation agreement in major criminal cases." Huo Shaoheng glanced at Gu Nianzhi, "This is the main appeal of the American lawyer group in the lawsuit. The previous ones are all pretense and delaying time."
Gu Nianzhi nodded, cupped his chin thoughtfully and said, "For major criminal cases, China and the United States do have a cooperation agreement."
The case Kevin committed was indeed a major criminal case.
She said very puzzledly: "But Kevin was a major criminal case committed on Chinese soil, and it was not a major criminal case committed on American soil. Why should the American lawyer team request extradition to the United States for trial?"
"...because they think Kevin would be treated unfairly by being tried in a court-martial. Unless we agree to hear the case in a regular court."
Huo Shaoheng has been following this case for the past two months and knows the details very clearly.
"Why? Kevin tried to kidnap and harm Ms. Song, and Ms. Song is an important protector of our military." Gu Nianzhi clenched his fists, his eyes shining, "Not to mention that they illegally carried weapons and injured so many of our soldiers. And the officer!”
Lu Jin listened for a long time, and now it had nothing to do with him, he was happy and relaxed.
Once you relax, your mind becomes more flexible.
He sneered and said, "Girl, you don't think they are really fighting over legal issues, do you?"
Gu Nianzhi: "...Isn't it true? Didn't Mr. Huo just say that he has been fighting a jurisdictional lawsuit?"
The formal case has not yet been heard in court, and the preliminary preparations are now underway.
"If the United States even uses 'long-arm jurisdiction' in this case, it would be borderline barbaric. Let me tell you." Lu Jin rolled his eyes, "The United States over there wouldn't dare to be so rampant."
"That's right. With you over there, China's military strength has long been on par with the United States. If it wants to control China again, it has to weigh its own weight." Gu Nianzhi praised the closeness of the road at every opportunity.
Lu Jian nodded heavily, "My girl knows the subtleties and has a sharp eye! - The 'long-arm jurisdiction' of the United States is actually power politics. It uses its own military power, economic and technological strength as the backing to apply its own domestic laws to other countries. On the citizens.”
Having said this, Gu Nianzhi sighed, leaned back on the sofa, and sat slumped without caring about the image, "To put it bluntly, the effectiveness of the law is also maintained by violence. The law actually does not represent justice, but the ruling class. will. This phenomenon is even more obvious in the international community."
"So as long as you have the strength, domestic laws can not only govern foreigners, but also other countries."
"Otherwise, how can we say that the truth is within the range of the cannon. The same goes for the law." Lu Jin shrugged, "Wherever the US aircraft carrier group can go, its long-arm jurisdiction can be implemented."
Gu Nianzhi didn't speak for a while.
She thought quietly and began to look for other angles to look at this problem.
If this channel doesn't work, she usually won't take advantage of it and accept death.
She will find another way.
As long as she can reach her set goal, she doesn't care which path she takes.
After a while, she asked Huo Shaoheng: "What did General Ji, Speaker Long and Prime Minister Bai say?"
"It is not convenient for them to express their opinions at the moment. Everything will be handled by the military court."
Gu Nianzhi rubbed the fingers of his right hand subconsciously, and tapped lightly on the armrest of the sofa with his left hand. He inadvertently lowered his eyes and glanced at the movements of his hands. Suddenly an idea came to him and he said with a smile: "Master Huo, please tell me the truth first." , is there someone at the top who is on the side of the United States?"
Huo Shaoheng nodded slightly and did not deny it: "It is indeed true, otherwise we would not have let the American lawyer team delay the trial for two months without actually opening the trial."
"Not only the top leaders, but also a group of elites demand that our country obey the long-arm jurisdiction system of the United States, claiming that this is a norm established by the international community. Failure to comply is a breaker of the rules and there is no spirit of contract."
Not only did Gu Nianzhi have a headache, but his teeth were also sore. He shook his head speechlessly and said, "Why don't you throw what the President of the United States has done recently into their faces?"
"If you don't have the spirit of contract, who doesn't have the spirit of contract? Besides, talking about contracts with European and American countries is either stupid or bad."
"Although that period of humiliating history is almost a hundred years old, the essence of Western countries has not changed. They will not negotiate laws with other countries unless they are at their wits' end."
Lu Jin nodded repeatedly and praised Gu Nianzhi's words: "My girl is right! When dealing with Western countries, if you really want to tell them the rules, you will be fooled. Will the rules they set be beneficial to you? Even if you use Paramecium Even single-cell thinking can’t be done!”
"Yes, my dad still sees things thoroughly."
Lu Jin and Gu Nianzhi, the father and daughter, are simply exchanging business blows.
Lu Yuan felt blind and almost wanted to stand up and leave.
Song Jinning didn't know much about this either, but this case was related to her, and she wouldn't accept it if she didn't see Kevin and Guo Huining brought to justice.
"...Is there really nothing we can do? Just watch them drag it on day by day?" Song Jinning frowned and said with dissatisfaction.
"Two months is enough to make Kevin 'sick'." Gu Nianzhi said quietly, "If the trial doesn't start, believe it or not, Kevin will soon be 'seriously ill' and be released on medical parole."
"This is the worst possible outcome." Huo Shaoheng said calmly, "If this is really going to happen, as soon as Kevin leaves the country, we will go overseas to enforce the law."
Gu Nianzhi laughed and looked at Huo Shaoheng who was sitting at the top with shining eyes, "Young Master Huo, you are so awesome! We can also exercise our 'long-arm jurisdiction'!"
But joking aside, everyone here knows how difficult and dangerous "overseas law enforcement" is.
Gu Nianzhi would not let Huo Shaoheng fall into that dangerous situation.
Her eyes narrowed slightly and she said with a smile: "Actually, there is a way."
"What method?" Huo Shaoheng, Lu Yuan, Song Jinning and Lu Jin asked in unison.
Gu Nianzhi tilted his head slightly and said slyly: "Taizu said that when fighting the United States, they should fight theirs and we should fight ours."
"I think some people in the senior management have forgotten that lawsuits involving international jurisdiction are different from domestic jurisdiction. It is not an either/or relationship."
“So it’s not like they’re filing a jurisdictional lawsuit and we can’t hear the case.”
She closed her palms and said: "So, as long as the three giants agree, we can open the court at the same time. Aren't the American lawyers fighting a jurisdictional lawsuit? Continue to fight them. At the same time, we will officially open the court here to try Kevin and Guo Huining. !”
