The trial of Cynthia's case took only one day. In the court verdict, Lu Ming proposed the principle of self-defense and held that Cynthia was in an area where she could legally stay and did not need to fulfill her obligation to give in.
Cynthia suffered psychological trauma as a child and was in a state of high stress for a long time after joining the army.
Because he was relatively sensitive to the legal stay area, he took drastic measures after the victim invaded his legal stay area and harassed his companions.
In this case, although she was not seriously threatened with injury or death, according to the forensic report, the cause of death of the deceased was due to his history of heart disease, long-term use of addictive drugs, and recent drug use, which caused hypoxia during the fight.
cardiac arrest.
In summary, this court believed that Cynthia’s counterattack was legal and an excusable act of self-defense, and dismissed the prosecution’s third-degree murder charge against Cynthia.
However, it is recommended that the commander allow Cynthia to retire after providing appropriate psychological counseling.
…
At the community service station, Lu Ming looked through the information on the five Jiangnan provinces, including Andong.
Hearing light footsteps beside him, Lu Ming turned his head. A small affairs officer stood beside him and squatted down gently, "Boss, there is a female soldier outside. She has been coming and going for a few times."
Lu Ming looked around and saw a woman in camouflage uniform standing at the foot of the steps outside the glass door. It was Cynthia. She was hesitant, as if she wanted to come in, but she was a little bit frightened.
Lu Ming nodded: "Call her in!"
The clerk ran over and opened the glass door. Cynthia also noticed that Lu Ming had noticed her and walked in with her head lowered.
"Teacher, thank you." Cynthia stood in front of Lu Ming's desk, behaved like a primary school student.
"Did you come by yourself?" Lu Ming was a little surprised. This guy, don't break the rules again.
Because in the end her commander, Brigadier General Shefton, the school's vice president, ruled that she should receive treatment at the military medical center for one year.
In fact, it may be no different than being imprisoned for 1 year.
Ordinarily she can't move freely now.
"Oh, someone came with me. I'm going to the medical hospital soon. Before I went, I told them that I wanted to see you, and it was allowed." Cynthia looked up at Lu Ming: "Thank you, teacher, I thought,
My whole life is over..."
Lu Ming waved his hand: "I also act in accordance with the law."
In fact, I don’t know if I am doing the right thing. Judging from the legal spirit of the East China Sea, it is actually to encourage and protect the spirit of individual resistance.
In the motherland of my previous life, when the society was stable, the education for individual citizens was to go to the police and the public authorities to solve problems when they encountered problems.
Donghai or imperial laws encourage citizens to rely on their own strength to prevent violations of their rights.
Both legal directions will actually have a great influence on shaping the overall character of citizens in a subtle way.
It's hard to say which direction is better.
The former may lead to a more stable society; the latter may mean that citizens may be more active in fighting for their rights.
After thinking about it, Lu Ming smiled and said: "After you go, actively cooperate with the treatment. There is still a long way to go in life, and you are just getting started."
"Yes!" Cynthia stood at attention, gave a military salute, turned around and strode out.
The two young clerks looked at this scene and were used to it. The boss was so mysterious and magical. In politics, the military, the judiciary, and the business world, there were matters that needed to be handled by the boss.
I don’t know where he got all that energy, let alone his genius-like abilities.
The phone rang, calling for the boss again. Soon, the boss got up and left.
The two clerks bowed ninety degrees and watched the boss enter the black car. They stood up straight and looked at their watches. They looked at each other and smiled secretly. The boss stayed a few minutes longer than yesterday.
…
In No. 3 Tianzi Courtyard of Wolong Xiaoguan, Lu Ming met Rabbi Phila and his wife Delna.
Delna is one year older than Rabbi. She comes from a family of counts in the imperial capital. She is born well, but she is a little too fat. She can look like two Rabbis. If she loses weight, she may also be a beauty.
Obviously, this is a proper political marriage, and it is unimaginable that many nouveau riche have a yearning and obsession with being a noble family.
Therefore, thinking about Jennifer, my fifteenth wife, who has received an excellent aristocratic education since childhood and is well-behaved, cute and beautiful, she is really a treasure.
"This is my first time coming to Beiguan. I will spend a few days here with Delna." Rabbi said with a smile while sipping tea.
Lu Ming smiled and said: "It's a pity that my golf course and horse farm haven't been built yet."
Delna covered her nose with a snow-white handkerchief, as if she couldn't bear the smell, and started to grumble.
There was a slight embarrassment on Rabbi's face, and he couldn't help translating for her. He continued to say to Lu Ming: "Next time, when this club complex is officially unveiled, I will definitely come and play."
Lu Ming smiled, and next to him was a pretty affairs officer who leaned into his ear and said: "Boss, Mrs. Fila said that the countryside should look like the countryside. When you come to the countryside to play, you don't come to see the high-rise buildings.
Build what is available and what is not available..."
Lu Ming waved his hand and glanced at her, "Now go to the office and tell Chief Murong Xue that you will no longer be asked to serve me."
The clerk's face immediately turned pale. Seeing that Lu Ming was already frowning and waving, she put down the tea set with tears in her eyes, bowed, turned around and left quickly.
Lu Ming looked at her back and shook his head.
If some guests are unfriendly, you can roughly understand the meaning yourself, so there is no need for you to translate it next to you.
You have to assess the situation. The fat lady in front of you is obviously a character, and she is not a negotiation partner. If you have to translate her bad words to the boss, how do you want the boss to react? Fall out? Otherwise, it will only increase embarrassment.
And it is obvious that this kind of staff is the kind of person who likes to stir up trouble and create conflicts in the team.
Rabbi looked at this scene, then looked at his wife beside him, shook his head, and smiled at Lu Ming again: "My father has agreed in principle to cooperate with you according to the conditions you set."
After Lu Ming returned to Donghai, Rabbi's second brother Simon quickly took the initiative and sent someone to talk to Lu Ming.
As a result, the more conditions Lu Ming negotiated, the higher his offer became. Moreover, another oil giant in the empire, Faker United Energy, was already in contact with Lu Ming.
Rabbi looked at Lu Ming and said again: "Brother Qianxing, I want to thank you this time!"
Simon was disgraced, as if the cooperation between the two parties was about to break up, and the news was leaked, which made Fike United Energy think there was an opportunity and entered the war. Now within the Fila Group, it has been decided that Rabbi Fila will be fully responsible for Tianhai
Petroleum cooperation projects.
Rabbi Phila understood to some extent that it was the partner in front of him who did something.
He also did not expect that the 300,000 political donation made more than half a year ago would bring him such generous returns.
At that time, I just accidentally saw Lawyer Lu's deeds in the newspaper and found it very interesting. I studied him very much, and then, as a long-term investment, I wired the political donation to his account.
I feel that lawyer Lu may be needed sooner or later for our business in Donghai.
Moreover, not to mention Donghai, if we encounter difficult lawsuits in the future, this lawyer Lu should also be able to help.
But I didn't expect that the rewards would come so quickly and be so incredibly rich.
Moreover, this partner, to be honest, is a perfect example of the traditional noble morality of the people of Central China. You respect me every step of the way and I will respect you the same. He reciprocates kindness and kindness. He is very loyal and reliable.
"Rabbi, you had a stadium project in Andong Province that was stopped last year?" Lu Ming suddenly asked.
Rabbi Fila smiled: "Yes, next year's Empire Games was originally held in Jiangnan for the first time. It was co-organized by Andong Province and Jiangning Province. The previous governor of Anton was bidding for the stadium project. Who knew that the governor was changed last year?
After that, we did another investigation and so on, and it seems that it was half-finished, but now it’s unfinished.”
Lu Ming nodded: "It seems that Anton's matter is indeed not easy to deal with."
Rabbi Fila was surprised and said: "You don't want to invest in Anton, do you? Then I advise you not to go. You have clearly signed a contract, but if you change it, the governor will not recognize it. There is no law there."
Lu Ming smiled and said: "Well, come, drink tea, drink tea."
Then, the topic turned elsewhere, and the conversation with the rabbi turned out to be quite speculative.
Except for the fact that Derna often made some senseless remarks, the guests and hosts were quite happy.
Lu Ming could also see Rabbi's helplessness, but to be honest, Delna was nothing but big-breasted and brainless.
