Chapter 211: The Second Bullet of Long Arm Jurisdiction
Although more and more skyscrapers are rising from the ground in the East, the Tower Restaurant of the Empire State Building is still the tallest restaurant in the world.
This landscape restaurant is located on the top floor of the Empire State Building, 450 meters above the ground. Looking out, there are rows of glass-curtained buildings. Farther away, there is the blue sea and blue sky. Sitting here to dine, overlooking the prosperous scene of the East China Sea, you can't help but feel
It makes people feel proud that everything is at their feet.
At this time, at a table by the window, opposite Lu Ming, sat an old gentleman with gray hair, wearing a suit and leather shoes, looking very gentlemanly.
But it was a distant visitor from Andong Province, Mr. Wang Jingren, who was a very famous official in Andong Province.
But in fact, like Lu Ming, he is a second-level lawyer.
Because the bar associations in the five Jiangnan provinces are in name only, their assessment scores are not recognized by the judicial circles in other parts of the empire.
The bar associations of the five provinces only have the power to issue second-degree lawyer certificates at best.
In the five provinces of Jiangnan, when litigating a lawsuit, it is very rare to ask for a jury trial, because in criminal cases, basically if the prosecutor prosecutes the case, the judge will definitely convict.
In economic cases, the administration decides everything, and it depends on who has the most energy behind it.
When foreign judges come to the five provinces south of the Yangtze River, they also follow the local customs. If their power is not supervised, who wouldn't like red and green bills and young and beautiful women?
There are no saints in this world.
Wang Jingren, Fang Lao's old friend, recommended Lu Ming's Wang Dazhuang to Li Youmei.
At this time, Li Youmei was sitting aside, pouring tea and water for the two of them.
"Twenty years ago, I came to the East China Sea once. What a big change!" Looking out the window, Wang Jingren sighed with emotion.
However, it is a sigh of relief that Wang Dazhuang will not regret not coming to the East China Sea for development.
After all, he is now a celebrity among celebrities in the provincial capital of Andong. He has been specially hired by the governor to serve as an adviser to the Legislative Yuan. In terms of wealth, he is rich in wealth and has thousands of hectares of fertile land.
But such a celebrity is completely powerless against Meng Xiaolou's case.
Because from the tradition of Andong and even the five provinces of Jiangnan, the word "official" is sacred and inviolable. As long as you are still wearing the official skin, even if you will be punished the next day, you are still a saint the day before.
A perfect character that cannot be changed by wealth or poverty, cannot tolerate any criticism. No matter how absurd the policy is, it is only for the benefit of the people under his rule.
The city-level consuls are even more senior officials in the five provinces south of the Yangtze River. No matter what the cause of his death, the murderer must die.
Meng Xiaolou's survival probably depends entirely on Wang Jingren's activities.
It seems that Li Youmei is very grateful to Wang Jingren.
And Wang Jingren said that he was a huge fan of Li Youmei.
Only then did he start making plans. After hearing that Li Youmei said that he had not seen Lu Ming for a long time, he did not hesitate to come to the East China Sea again twenty years later.
Naturally, he also invited this meal. In his words, he wanted to invite Lawyer Lu at "the best restaurant in the East China Sea."
In fact, for ordinary rich people, the Tower Restaurant is indeed a golden sign, but the real upper class in Donghai, the kind of extremely luxurious private club, and the general public have never heard of it.
Watching Wang Jingren and Li Youmei’s eyes and body language when communicating...
Lu Ming looked out the window. What if he wasn't so sensitive? He would feel that the world is very beautiful and there are many kind-hearted and selfless people like Lawyer Wang.
"Mr. Meng's case is very difficult in Anton." Lu Ming pondered, "Although there is a military court in the East China Sea, which has recently expanded the scope of excusable acts of self-defense, and may be cited in civil courts, but in Anton
Litigation should not focus on precedents, especially precedents that embody new things."
Wang Jingren sighed: "Yes! This is the difficulty!"
After taking a sip of tea, Lu Ming thought for a while, "Otherwise, if Mr. Meng is injured, only the big hospital in Donghai can cure it. Bring Mr. Meng to Donghai for treatment. Moreover, it is best to spend Mr. Meng or
If Ms. Li paid privately, then Mr. Meng will have a tax record in Donghai. In this case, you can try to appeal to the Donghai High Court and request that the case be reiterated in Donghai."
"I feel like it shouldn't be difficult to find out the points of appeal in Mr. Meng's case that don't comply with imperial legal procedures, right? With Anton Ting's hasty attitude."
Wang Jingren smiled bitterly, this is indeed not difficult. It is right for the outside judicial circles to look down on Anton Justice. He really has nothing to say.
But? This is okay?
Wang Jingren said in surprise: "In this case, is it possible that the Donghai High Court will send it to the Donghai Circuit Court for a retrial?"
Lu Ming nodded: "There is a certain chance that although he is not a citizen of Donghai, he has a tax record in Donghai, he happens to be in Donghai, and he is suffering unfair persecution. It is possible that Donghai High Court will accept the appeal of this case.
It's true, but it depends on what the officials think. I can only say that there is a certain chance."
"But, if not, I have to litigate the case in Anton. I'm afraid it will take several years. I'll make the judges miserable first, and they will have a headache when they see me. Slowly, I will have a chance to appeal for a retrial.
.”
"I don't have that time, nor do I have that energy. Lawyer Wang, what I say is true."
Wang Jingren nodded silently. This Lawyer Lu was very proud. It could be heard in his words that he regarded Anton's legal profession as if it were nothing. But from the cases he handled and his own research and study, he had this pride.
Let’s just talk about improving the empire’s legal standards. How long has it been since?
He is the top lawyer. It would be great to have such a case written into legal history in his life. He is only nineteen years old.
All I can say is that he is simply a genius born for the law, a figure destined to shine in the annals of legal history.
It seems that he has said so, and this is the only way to treat a dead horse as a living horse.
As for how Meng Xiaolou got sick, and it was a disease that could only be treated in Donghai, and how he got special permission to come to Donghai for treatment, he had to go back and find a solution. Fortunately, although the case could not be overturned, there was still room for operation.
However, I have long heard that the judicial community in the East China Sea is becoming more and more tough, and there are more and more cases under long-arm jurisdiction.
But I didn't expect that it has already developed to this extent.
Are foreigners who come to Donghai to buy a lollipop eligible to go to the circuit court to fight lawsuits involving other places?
"Mr. Commissioner, thank you!" Li Youmei's face was filled with gratitude.
Lu Ming waved his hand, "I'll just give you an idea, everything depends on you."...
He looked at Wang Jingren and said, "Lawyer Wang, do you have any acquaintances in Heishan or Longgang? I have a good friend who seems to be going to Longgang to be the county magistrate. His eyes are dark, and he is afraid of suffering from local snakes!"
Wang Jingren was stunned for a moment, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Although Anton and Jiangning are neighboring provinces, Montenegro is in the easternmost part of Jiangning. I'm really not familiar with it."
Lu Ming nodded.
That Earl Richard, no matter what happens, basically, the chaos in Jiangning now is all caused by his relatives.
It's Richard's second wife, Mrs. Hu, and now her seven uncles and eight aunts are all frantically searching for her in Jiangning.
After all, the Hu family is from Jiangning's hometown. Now that one person has ascended to heaven, distant relatives who cannot be beaten with eight poles may take the opportunity to use her name to dominate the local area and seize mineral deposits.
Longgang is a major coal mining county, so it is impossible for no one from the Hu family to intervene.
Once old Gong goes away, I'm afraid there will be a backlash from local snakes.
Especially when I just found out that the previous county magistrate died last month, and his death was mysterious.
The law of official power in the five Jiangnan provinces failed here.
Lao Gong works alone, which is very dangerous.
In fact, I originally wanted him to take the lead, but looking at it now, it really doesn’t work.
Then we can only wait for a while, wait for him to be free, and go there with him. The position of county magistrate will be vacant for a few days.
If Jiangning Province becomes the birthplace and base of its own steel group, it will be a wonderful prospect.
However, for this big project, I don’t know if I can achieve the goal.
As for helping Richard get rid of the control of his wife's gang, it is even more important to act according to the situation.
After all, it is obvious that his relatives and friends cannot persuade him, and they are afraid that they will be regarded as bad people who alienate the couple's relationship.
Christine, only then did she remember that she was full of messy ideas.
Her mind was spinning, and she was thinking wildly, when Li Youmei suddenly whispered: "Sir, I have a distant cousin. I heard that he is working as a foreman in a coal mine in Longgang and is doing well..." Then he said in shock, "I'm sorry, sir, I'm a daughter of the people."
You have little knowledge and shouldn’t interrupt.”
In the eyes of her relatives, this cousin was a capable man, but in the eyes of the young man in front of her, he was probably just a rotten fish, even if he was not polite.
When people ask Wang Jingren if he has any connections, he must at least be a celebrity in Jiangning Province, or the mayor or county magistrate.
Lu Ming smiled after hearing this and said, "In this case, you write a letter to your cousin to help my friend, and I will ask my friend to bring this letter to him."
Li Youmei lowered her head and said softly: "Yes." She didn't know if she was extremely well-educated and was afraid of losing face, so she said this, but no matter what, she had to write this letter carefully. That cousin liked her very much, so she should
He will listen to himself and try his best to do things for his friend, the new county chief. If he can't do anything else, he can be a tour guide and run errands. In addition, he can tell the new county chief about local people's conditions.
In fact, it is also a great opportunity for my cousin.
The handsome foreman walked over and whispered beside Lu Ming: "Boss, your phone number."
Lu Ming nodded and said apologetically to Wang Jingren and Li Youmei: "I'm sorry, I'm going to answer the phone."
Wang Jingren looked at Lu Ming in surprise, "Lu Dazhuang, this tower restaurant is yours now?"...
Lu Ming smiled and said, "It's just a small shareholder." Indeed, the majority shareholder is Christine. Maybe it's because of the tower restaurant that he became the legendary pretty girl raised by Christine.
Looking at Lu Ming's back, Wang Jingren pursed his lips, "Mei'er, did you see that this is the best person in Donghai? He is a humble person. I even invited him to the best restaurant for dinner. As a result, the restaurant is his."
of."
Li Youmei knew that he was laughing at himself, so she forced a smile, bowed her head and remained silent.
…
Beside the bar, Lu Ming's heart almost jumped out of his chest as he listened to the words on the phone.
It's an urgent matter and a good thing, so the call came here.
It was the person who went to Heishan City in the four northern provinces to help him find Jin Bao'er. According to what he said, on the first day of the month, he published a missing person announcement with Jin Bao in the Heishan Evening News.
There was no response to the missing person notice on February 1st last month, but a few days ago, the missing person notice in the evening newspaper on March 1st had an effect, and I finally contacted Jinbao just now.
It has been more than a year since I separated from Jin Bao.
Speaking of which, I had only met him a few times, but in times of crisis, life and death, he was able to escape successfully all by himself, and he was so loyal. Even if it was obvious that the Lu family was in ruins, even if he left with a huge sum of money, he would not be able to escape.
What consequences would there be? But such thoughts should not have crossed his mind. Loyalty is already an instinct.
However, after listening to the next words of the person on the phone, Lu Ming sighed softly.
It turned out that Jin Bao was in jail last month and was only released yesterday. But as soon as he was released, he found the evening newspaper of No. 1 and asked someone to read it to him, so that he did not miss the missing person notice of No. 1.
Moreover, after seeing his own person, hearing his information, and confirming that he was really the person he sent to find him, Jin Bao fainted in excitement.
I am still undergoing infusion in the hospital. My health seems to be very poor, and many old injuries have not been properly repaired.
He is now the owner of a foreign car dealership in Montenegro, and the money he left for him should be used to purchase this foreign car dealership.
But the coachmen also have territory, and gangs of all sizes collect protection fees. He is an outsider and has to establish a firm foothold. One fight every three days and one fight every five days.
I'm afraid Jinbao has been fighting and killing all this year, leaving a lot of injuries on his body.
"Well, let him have a good rest for a few days, and then you bring him to the East China Sea." Lu Ming shook his head. He still thought about the 10,000 yuan that Jinbao could deposit in the bank and earn interest to live a stable life. He really didn't consider his character.
