In the Xinzhi Bookstore, Lu Ming slowly sipped tea and looked through the materials on the Lao Jackal case. In a few days, the lawsuit was about to start.
Yaya sat aside obediently and played with building blocks quietly. She was only three years old and already looked like a little lady.
Lu Ming arrived in Longgang early this morning. A car was sent to pick up Yaya from Sansha Town in the morning. He Mojun's mother came with her. Now the old lady is being accompanied to the county fair.
Huang Guirong and Cui Xiaodong were busy studying the prosecutor's indictment at another desk and comparing it with the self-reports of Lao Jack and others.
In criminal cases in Jiangning Province, there is no exchange of evidence before trial. You can only look at the indictment to find out what charges will be charged.
Moreover, a copy of the indictment was just delivered today after a long wait.
"Xiao Huang, in Lao Cai's case, you will be the main defender, and Xiaodong will be the deputy defender." Lu Ming said suddenly.
Huang Guirong and Cui Xiaodong were both stunned.
Lu Ming smiled: "Why, are you stressed?"
"Boss, in this case, as long as Lao Jackal is not sentenced to death, will I technically win?" Huang Guirong asked.
Lu Ming shook his head: "If I fight, I will be imprisoned for life, and I will lose my pants."
Huang Guirong gritted his teeth, "What about a thirty-year sentence? He is also older, and there is no difference between a thirty-year sentence and a life sentence."
Lu Ming waved his hand: "Let's put it this way, if the judge is He Mojun, she has systematically studied the laws of the empire, so I can beat the old jackal and get away with it directly, because there are loopholes in the prosecutor's procedure."
He shook his head again: "But beating like this will not be a good thing for me, Mr. He Mo, or the old jackal."
Sighing, "But I promised to be Lao Jackal's lawyer, but the prosecutor really gave me a hard time!"
Huang Guirong and Cui Xiaodong looked at each other.
The boss is distressed because he can easily win the lawsuit. This, in the words of the boss, is too Versailles.
"Anyway, we'll see." Lu Ming waved his hand, "You guys are busy with your business."
Huang Guirong's eyes suddenly lit up and he immediately went to read the complaint again.
Lu Ming looked at her back and smiled, a child can be taught.
The wind chime rang at the door.
Two people came in, but they were Liu Hanxuan and Rodman. As the only Western lawyer in the law firm, Rodman moved wherever he was needed.
Yaya saw Rodman and recognized his colorful hair, so she giggled, thinking that he was a clown.
Lu Ming smiled: "Your case will go to trial the day after tomorrow? How are the preparations going?"
Liu Hanhuan smiled and said: "Why don't I just treat you to a meal? Why don't you also ask you a few questions?"
Lu Ming nodded: "Okay, take my little niece and let's go eat something good together." In fact, Qing'e's cooking is delicious and hygienic, but eating food from your own home, even in the front yard flower hall, is not just casual.
It can be eaten by just one customer, even if you are a partner with Liu Hanxuan, unless you invite yourself.
…
After lunch, I broke up with Liu Hanhuan and others and came back with Yaya in my arms, only to see a circle of people gathered at the door of the bookstore.
But there were a few beggars in ragged clothes, singing "Lotus Blossoms" and begging for alms, surrounded by a bunch of people watching the fun.
Lu Ming had already warned Mrs. Liuli not to interfere in any affairs of the bookstore, otherwise, Qing'e would beat her up and make the beggar howl like a wolf and run away.
"Master, let me go and take a look." Uncle Sun said from the side.
Lu Ming waved his hand, "Don't worry about it, your singing is pretty good, it shows that our bookstore is popular."
Uncle Sun nodded, the young master is really not afraid of this in his business. It is not a serious business in the first place, it is just giving away books.
After bypassing the crowd and entering the bookstore, He Mojun's mother had already returned from the market and was standing at the door of the bookstore watching the excitement.
"Grandma!" Yaya happily threw herself into her arms.
"Third Young Master, are you looking for someone to sing in an opera?" He Mojun's mother picked up Yaya and asked Lu Ming again.
Although Lu Ming asked her to call him "Qian Xing" or "A Ming" several times, He Mojun's mother regarded her in-laws as a powerful family from the bottom of her heart.
It is to help their family again. This kind of kindness is really impossible to repay, let alone call the third young master by his name.
Lu Ming smiled and said: "Yes, can you sing well?"
Suddenly, the crowd watching the excitement subsided, but a few named Hanako walked up together, beat the bamboo poles rhythmically on the ground at the door, and sang: "Sound of boss is good, boss is good, business is booming day by day, give me a steamed bun,
Give me some soup, and your business will grow if you bring in treasure every day! Your business will grow!"
Lu Ming smiled at the black head beside him: "Watch and enjoy!"
Blackhead reluctantly took out a few dimes from his wallet and threw them out.
The crowd of onlookers exclaimed that the owner of this bookstore was so generous.
Several beggars picked up the dime tickets and lined up again. They tapped the blue bricks at the door of the bookstore with their bamboo poles and said, "Good boss! Good boss! This store attracts wealth and treasures! It attracts wealth and treasures!"
"The boss is kind! The boss is good! Our store attracts wealth and treasures! It attracts wealth and treasures!"
I sing this line over and over again.
Lu Ming smiled and went back to the tea table.
"Let's go!" Uncle Sun clasped his fists at the beggars and said, "My boss is kind. If you come back next month and bring money to our shop, you will be rewarded with two kilograms of pork."
But the beggar kept singing, just one sentence, "The boss is kind! The boss is good! Our store attracts wealth and treasures! It attracts wealth and treasures!"
Uncle Sun frowned and was about to step out.
"What's going on, what's going on?!" Two policemen in white leggings and black uniforms came around the corner, pointing with wooden batons.
Several people named Hanako immediately picked up the tattered hats on the ground and ran away with very neat legs and feet.
The leading patrol policeman was a little fat man. He smiled at Uncle Sun and said, "You are the boss, right? My two brothers often patrol this street. If you need anything, you can call on my brothers. My surname is Li. Just call me Fatty Li!"
Uncle Sun didn't know how to explain anything to the two young patrolmen, so he smiled and said, "Thank you both very much."
Fatty Li waited for a while, and when he saw that the other party had no intention of paying for the tea, he felt a little unhappy. It seemed that the beggar had already been rewarded, and my brothers were worse than beggars if they dared to love him.
But he still had a smile on his face: "Okay, you go about your business!"
He made a gesture and left with another patrolman. He walked a few steps away and cursed in a low voice, "Tomorrow we will be in trouble! Bah!"
At the tea table in the bookstore, Lu Ming looked at the backs of the two patrol policemen who were walking away angrily, and said with a smile: "Beggars are greedy and the police detectives are worse than beggars. It's difficult to deal with in Longgang."
"Who scolded us Longgang people?!"
The sinister words came from a fat white man spinning two iron balls in his hands, followed by several men in short black clothes. He was coming to the door of the bookstore when he heard Lu Ming's words.
Lu Ming was startled for a moment, and suddenly realized that the store had only opened after he arrived. From the outside, it seemed that the new store had opened today.
