Chapter 108: First Trial (1)
Ou Pei Linying, Zhang Dadong and Lin Zhenqiang sat side by side on the side of the long table unique to the detention center. After waiting for a while, a police officer opened the door and Lu Li appeared outside the iron gate wearing an orange prison suit. Two people knew each other and had dealt with each other many times. He didn't know the only lady. He followed the police officer obediently, walked to the side opposite the long table, nodded kindly to the three people, pulled open the seat and sat down.
Ou Pei Linying graduated from the Law School of Virginia State University and returned to Hong Kong to join the Department of Justice. She became an assistant prosecutor of the District Prosecutor, and was promoted to deputy prosecutor. She served in the Department of Justice for 8 years until she got married and gave birth to her eldest son. She resigned and left. With the help of her husband, she established her own law firm. It has been nearly twenty years since she was accustomed to this day.
She has been holding the placard for many years and has seen too many parties, but her attitude towards the parties is completely different. When she was in the Department of Justice, she vowed to bring all the bad guys to justice. She did a good job. In the case she was responsible for, the conviction rate exceeded 87%. In the prisons under the punishment centers, including the Stanley Prison in Hong Kong, I don’t know how many people were sent in through her eloquence.
Later, she established her own law firm, and the situation changed drastically! She changed her sins into relieving her sins, which made her unable to get out of her heart for a long time. But when she began to gradually accept this change, she once again showed her accurate legal knowledge and skills in the court, and the relieving rate reached an appalling 14.5%!
This is definitely a wonderful data that earned her countless money. In 1976, after she walked out of the shadow of her husband and son, and her daughter went abroad to study and no longer had any worries around her, she devoted all her energy to her professional field. This data reached 22% in a short period of time! Especially after winning the Xiao Yuan extradition case (see the following article for details), Ou Peilinying was in a very good light, and she really got the case back!
There are so many people who meet, and countless of them are traitors and evil. Ou Pei Linying asked herself that the client was loyal or traitorous. However, sometimes as a lawyer, you have to deliberately ignore this issue.
"Mr. Lu, this is the lawyer Ou Peilinying. She will serve as your representative lawyer on behalf of Mr. Zhou Bingcheng."
Lu Li recalled this name in his mind. Is the name with four characters a compound surname? Ou Pei... Does the Baijia surname have such a compound surname, or do you still don’t know?
Lin Zhenqiang saw it and explained to him: "In fact, her name is Pei Linying, and the character "Ou" is given as her husband's surname - in Hong Kong. This situation is very common."
"I see."
"Mr. Lu, Pei Dazhe has already read your file, and the original prosecutor proposed a very powerful witness, that is, a robber in the store at that time...." Lin Zhenqiang asked to explain the situation to him without any annoyance, and then asked: "Mr. Lu, if we cannot refute the other party smoothly in court, your telling will probably cause a very bad result. So, please recall it carefully. Is there any information worth using?"
"Some, when fighting with me, the deceased made an action that I couldn't understand, and I couldn't understand what he said, but after that, I found..."
“What did you find?”
"I found that his resistance suddenly became very strong. My fist hit him. It seemed that there was no reaction. So I had to use heavy hands, which caused this result."
While listening, Lin Zhenqiang explained to the other two people. Zhang Dadong was stunned and took the file and opened it. There was eyewitness testimony from the owner of the scene, but he did not mention any special actions of Tian Jiabin (that is, the deceased). He shook his head at Ou Pei Linying and signaled that there was no.
Ou Peilinying also felt something strange. She didn't think Luli would lie to her about this matter, but the information given by the Department of Justice never mentioned this matter. Was it negligent or intentionally? She did not transfer all the witness testimony to her side? If that were the case, the situation would be very serious! Once it was published, Wallace Chung would also sue without asking for it! She immediately denied this idea in her heart, and Hans would not make such a low-level mistake!
After a moment of silence in the reception room, Ou Pei Linying turned her head and whispered to Zhang Dadong. The latter nodded and stood up and left. Lu Li seemed a little reluctant, and looked at his back greedily disappearing into the corridor. Facing the two of them, she smiled in disguise, "Don't worry, Mr. Lu, since Pei Dazhe has taken over your lawsuit, he will definitely be responsible until the end. Moreover, Allen is not your lawyer, he is just a master."
Lu Li looked like he didn't understand. For several days, his ears were filled with the terms Lin Zhenqiang said, but he didn't understand the meaning of these words and words at all. He heard the words just oh, but he didn't say anything.
“…………”
"Mr. Lu, Pei Dazun wants to say that she has read your file and will respect your choice as a party and avoid the story of your companion coming to Hong Kong together. But she must tell you in advance that your approach is quite risky."
"I understand."
"What Pei Dajian wants to ask you about this case is that when facing Zhao Hao and Xu Liang, many people on the scene saw you knocked them to the ground in the shortest time - have you practiced martial arts?"
"No, I have never practiced martial arts. Many of my skills come from fighting with others."
Ou Pei Linying had heard Lin Zhenqiang's translation, shook her head flatly, and said a few words in English, "Pei Dazhe said, when the original prosecutor comes to ask you for confession, you must not say that."
"Why?"
"Because this will give the jury an impression that when you were in the mainland, you had a fight and never changed your habits after you came to Hong Kong..."
Lu Li's eyebrows quickly squeaked, and his face became a little dull! Whenever he made such an expression, it was a very unpleasant sign in his heart. The two people opposite him noticed the change in his expression at the same time. This change had an inexplicable dramatic effect. The originally pretty and handsome face instantly became cold and majestic. The two men and women who were not very familiar with him actually attracted the sudden change in his temperament!
Lu Li knew very well what Lin Zhenqiang translated meant, and said he did not change his habits. I think he did some language processing during the translation process. This woman was probably going to say bad habits without changing her? Fortunately, she was brave enough to act bravely. If she changed something else, she would not know what others would say! Thinking of this, she had a bad impression of the woman in front of her and was too lazy to talk to her.
"Mr. Lu. What's wrong with you?"
Luli sighed secretly, "Nothing."
"So, what I just said?"
"Yes, I get it."
Lin Zhenqiang said: "Mr. Lu, Pei Dazhao said that if you can recall anything else that can help you testify in court, you must tell us as soon as possible that it may be useful for your future trial."
"This. I can't imagine that, oh, have my two companions and the group who came here this time gone back?"
"Yes, they have already gone back. The day before yesterday, I went to the hotel to see Mr. Li and Mr. Wei, and told them your words."
"Then, then...I'm staying here. Do you have to wait until the case is over?"
Ou Pei Linying and Lin Zhenqiang whispered a few words, and the latter said: "The first time I went to court will be around April 28. At that time, Pei Dasheng will fight for you to be bailed, but your identity is a bit special and it will be difficult."
"I do not understand."
"Bail pending trial is a judicial process,..." Lin Zhenqiang explained a few words to him, and then said: "For Hong Kong people, these will not have big problems. After all, your case is not very serious. But you are from mainland China, so, do you understand?"
"I understand. I'm afraid I will run away, are you?"
Lin Zhenqiang smiled and said, "There is another good news. In addition to being the defendant in this case, you are also an eyewitness in another case - that is, a robbery case. For the prosecution, your testimony is the key testimony that can determine the case - Pei Dazhang's opinion is to use this as an argument as a condition for discussion with the Department of Justice."
"Aren't there many people? I mean, there were several people in the store at that time."
"Yes, this is of course, but the witness of any person is very important. On the prosecution, no one's words cannot be ignored."
Luli nodded and asked himself that there was not much to talk to the other party. He stood up again, followed the policeman and walked into the corridor of the detention room.
************************************************
Lu Li never thought that this trip to Hong Kong would cause so much trouble, and he felt very angry for a moment! If he had known this was the case, why should he care about so many other people's affairs? Even saying, what to do in Hong Kong? After the matter in Yangcheng was resolved, he would return to Tianjin immediately. Wouldn't it be good? Now... if my aunt knew about this, he would not dare to think how much Yu Fang would bear for him! As soon as this thought arose, Lu Li's heart hurts as if someone had pinched it!
After spending a difficult month in the detention center, it was finally time to go to court. He took a blue iron car out of the police station and drove all the way to the Hong Kong District Court. After completing the corresponding procedures, the two bailiffs handcuffed him and escorted him all the way to the garrison room. After less than a while, Lin Zhenqiang and Zhang Dadong walked in, "Mr. Lu, don't worry, this time, the court will only conduct the initial inquiry. The judge asked in court whether you plead guilty for the evidence provided by the prosecution. You just have to agree not to plead guilty, and it will be over."
“Yes, you said it last time.”
"As for other things, don't say anything, leave everything to Pei Da's case, she will fight for the right to be bail. If the court allows you, you can leave the court's supervision today - of course, it is still necessary to go to the police station to check in every other week, but this is just a necessary judicial means."
"Yes." Lin Zhenqiang and Zhang Dadong had already said these words to him when they visited Lu Li several times when they visited Lu Li. He nodded, "Yes, I know. But didn't Pei Dazhe say that this matter is very difficult?"
"Please rest assured that Pei Dazhao has been holding the cards for many years, and such things are very experienced."
After saying a few words, the bailiff came in again, uncuffed Luli, and escorted him out of the door. In the corridor, Ou Pei Linying was already waiting. She was wearing a well-fitting dress, her refined short hair was as black as ink, and she looked a few years younger than her actual age. Seeing him walking out in a suit, Ou Pei Linying was stunned, "Mr. Lu, Pei Dazhao said, don't be afraid."
Luli smiled reluctantly and said nothing. "Then, let's go in."
Several people walked inward, and a few people suddenly turned around at the end of the corridor. The leader was Zhou Bingcheng. He followed three people next to him. The leader exclaimed, "Xiaoxiao!"
