Chapter 204 No. 1 Imperial Court

Lu Dongjie got up in the morning and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw no one was home.

Last night, my parents took turns interrogating and scolding me, and there was also a little girl Lu who was fanning the flames.

He went to Japan once, and when he came home he looked like a sinner for all eternity. The appearance of these three trials really frightened him.

He took out the dishes and chopsticks from the kitchen and prepared to have breakfast. He held a stack of newspapers and read while eating.

A lot of things happened during the week that Lu Dongjie left Hong Kong.

Shaw Brothers CEO Shao Yifu was awarded a knighthood by the Queen of England and became the sixth Chinese in Hong Kong to hold a knighthood.

In the World Cup qualifiers, the Hong Kong team lost first to Iran and then to South Korea. Many fans were dissatisfied and riots broke out at the scene.

Hong Kong sister Sun Yong-en and TVB director Chan Ka-sun confirmed their separation, another divorce incident that caused a sensation in the entertainment industry.

Reservoirs across Hong Kong are in emergency. The Director of Water Supplies publicly announced to the public that the implementation of secondary water restrictions next month will be inevitable.

Luo Wei Pictures' new star Cheng Long will come to Hong Kong from Taiwan to promote his new film "Sword Flower, Smoke and Rain Jiangnan".

Vietnamese refugees have been smuggling into Hong Kong in large numbers in recent days, and the marine police are on alert. The Hong Kong government finally approved their resettlement for three months.

...

After Lu Dongjie had eaten and drank, he put on a suit, leather shoes, and tie, packed up, and got ready to go out.

He was summoned by the court to give evidence a few days ago and needs to go to the Victoria Central Magistrates' Court to testify again this morning.

In the Cheung Chau ship collision that occurred a few months ago, the captain at the time was charged with three crimes, one of which included dangerous driving. The case is scheduled to be heard in court this morning.

When working as a prosecutor in Hong Kong, it is inevitable to come into contact with magistrates frequently, especially since he used to be a blue hat and belongs to the front line of prosecutors. It can be said that going to court is a common occurrence.

But Hong Kong judges are difficult people to get along with. Usually when they go to court, they all have expressionless faces and are condescending. Moreover, most of them have weird personalities, are aloof and hard to touch. If you don't behave well in court,

, he can make you cry without tears with just one stroke of his pen on the verdict.

Today is the first time that he has appeared in court to testify as an ordinary citizen. Compared to the previous awe, he is now more calm.

"Court!" the court clerk shouted, and all those present in court stood up.

Then a judge wearing a red robe and a wig came out from the side door and sat on the magistrate's bench. After he and the court officials bowed to each other, they sat down together.

The court prosecutor is a police inspector (assistant), who is also an old acquaintance of Lu Dongjie.

"On March 2, 1977, the defendant Ling Xianwu drove a three-story Hong Kong Yau Ma Tei Company ferry with 187 people on board, and collided with a watercraft about one mile northeast of Cheung Chau Island.

The wing boat collided, injuring 21 passengers..."

The prosecutor in the court opened the case first, reading the charges to the defendant and presenting evidence.

Then the prosecutor began to call several witnesses, including Lu Dongjie, for questioning one by one. Lu Dongjie suffered for half an hour.

After the prosecution's questioning, the defense lawyer came on stage.

The Yau Ma Tei Ferry Company has a lot of money, and the defense lawyer hired for the defendant is a senior prosecutor. He is not only experienced and quick-minded, but also sharp-tongued and aggressive.

Lu Dongjie was then bombarded with cross-examination by the defense lawyer for nearly half an hour. Even the magistrate couldn't stand it and reminded the defense lawyer from time to time to pay attention to court matters and ask questions related to the case.

The prosecution and defense were at loggerheads, back and forth.

Until the prosecution has completed its evidence presentation, the defendant's defense, closing arguments and verdict.

"I now pronounce the verdict that the defendant Ling Xianwu in this case was charged with dangerous driving. The evidence was insufficient and the crime was not found guilty. He was not guilty and acquitted in court!" the magistrate announced the result of the trial.

"Court!" the court clerk shouted again as he left the courtroom.

All the people who appeared in court stood up again and left after the judge and everyone bowed to each other.

After a long interrogation, Lu Dongjie was able to walk out of the court door. Regardless of the outcome, he also fulfilled the responsibility of an ordinary citizen.

But before he could take a breath, there was a sudden rush of footsteps from far away to near. Before Lu Dongjie could react, a group of media reporters surrounded him and pointed their cameras and tape recorders at him.

Today the media heard the news and confirmed that Lu Dongjie himself has returned to Hong Kong and will appear in court today to testify. Then reporters from various media rushed here non-stop.

They had estimated Lu Dongjie's return time before, and then waited at the airport for a few days, but failed to catch Lu Dongjie. Now when they heard the news, they came to surround him.

The entertainment reporters who came today have complained a lot about Lu Dongjie. They are reporters who rely on news for their livelihood. You will not inform you in advance when you come back. Let us hold a welcome ceremony for you at the airport and interview you with your thoughts.

In Hong Kong's entertainment industry, there is an unwritten agreement between big stars and reporters. Generally, if you have any major itinerary or event, please notify me in advance, and I will cooperate with your publicity, and you will take care of my interviews, and we will have a happy cooperation.

But this guy Lu Dongjie didn't follow the rules. They went back and scolded the boss, which really made them a little annoyed.

"Lu Sheng, may I ask, you went to Japan to participate in the Tokyo Music Festival this time. Your skills amazed everyone and you came back with a great reputation. What is your biggest feeling during this trip?" asked a female reporter holding up the TVB logo Mi Fengfeng. .

"I am very happy. It is also an honor for me to be able to communicate with top singers from all over the world on the same stage." Lu Dongjie said with a smile.

"Lu Sheng, may I ask why you are participating in the music festival as a guest singer this time? If you are a participating singer representing Hong Kong, are you confident in defeating them and winning the grand prize?" A male reporter wearing glasses asked a question that many people have asked. and expectations.

"I just went to see the elegance of the world music event. I didn't have the bold idea to compete with them on the same stage. Maybe I will have a chance next time." Lu Dongjie just smiled and replied.

"Lu Sheng, please tell me when you will release the album. I believe fans are looking forward to it." A reporter from a music magazine asked.

"If nothing unexpected happens, it will probably be in the second half of the year. I think I can go up to receive the award at the second Golden Disc Awards next year," Lu Dongjie joked.

"The controversial song "Shako" was created by Lu Sheng. As a member of the Fight Crime Committee, do you think this type of song will have a negative impact on young people?" Ming Pao reporter asked Very sharp.

"First of all, I want to make it clear that this is a song with healthy lyrics and no bad instigation or suggestion. It's just that the style is a bit avant-garde, which has led some people to misunderstand." Lu Dongjie replied, avoiding the important and taking the easy.

"So Lu Sheng, what is your reason for releasing such a popular song?" a reporter from Sing Tao Daily continued with the previous question.

"Hong Kong pop music has been developing in the direction of diversity. If we don't create this type of songs, foreigners will take over, so I have to be the first to seize the market." Lu Dongjie said with a faint smile.

...

Lu Dongjie was very considerate to their reporters today. He basically responded to the questions raised by reporters from every newspaper or other media one by one. Although it was impossible to cover everything, he finally gave them information to report back to.
