Yuelai Tea House is an antique two-story wooden building. At this time, Lu Ming was talking to someone in the private room on the second floor.
Opposite the wooden table, Mr. Li was sitting. On the other side, there was a middle-aged man wearing a cheap suit. He was Cheng Lingyu, the senior prosecution director of the Donghai Xinfa District Prosecution Branch. He had a Chinese character face, thick eyebrows and big eyes.
Very serious character.
Lu Ming didn't expect that Li Guan would make an appointment with someone else, but he and Cheng Lingyu would become silent after only a few words.
Cheng Lingyu was very prejudiced against defense lawyers, and especially had an almost paranoid resentment towards defense lawyers who had participated in criminal cases. Even when he was Lu Ming, he also used the old-era term "litigation stick" against lawyers.
Disdainful name.
Li Guan smiled, as if he couldn't see any sparks flying between the two parties, and said to Lu Ming: "Don't you have new ideas about the case of Kato Masaichi? Let's talk about it now, otherwise, it will be difficult to get through this village.
There is no such store anymore. Because there is insufficient evidence, I am afraid Kato Shoichi will be allowed to return to the country."
Lu Ming frowned slightly. He didn't know what the police knew specifically, but it seemed that there was no conclusive evidence. It was similar to what was reported in the media. The bodies of several boys who were reportedly murdered were not found, and the only one who survived was
The boy was so frightened that he became mentally disturbed and was unable to testify in court.
It seems that all the evidence about Kato Shoichi’s murder of the Nakasu boy came from Kim Masayoshi’s revelations.
The context of Kim Zhengyi's explosive article is that he originally wanted to track down the tidbits about Kato Shoichi's pursuit of a movie star, so he lurked around Kato Shoichi, but he didn't expect that because he, the manservant, deliberately wanted to please Kato Shoichi,
He quickly gained the trust of Kato Shoichi, and from this, he discovered the underground secret room in Kato's residence, as well as the shocking and cruel things.
With his help, the surviving boy was able to escape. He took him to the hospital and called the police.
Information about this brutal murder was immediately mailed to all popular newspapers and periodicals.
He was very smart and thought that everyone in the world would know about it. If he had an accident, everyone would doubt whether the cause of his death was that he was murdered and silenced.
However, the other party was cruel and unscrupulous, so he still died in an inexplicable car accident.
Moreover, his murderer will be prosecuted because there is insufficient evidence, and he is about to return home smoothly...
"The police didn't find a secret room in Kato Shoichi's residence?" Lu Ming asked with a frown.
Cheng Lingyu didn't seem to hear Lu Ming's words, and drank tea slowly. It wasn't until Li Guan coughed that he snorted, "There is a secret room, but it is full of debris. There are no torture tools at all, and there are no traces of dead people.
Blood stains can be extracted.”
"Where is the driver who killed Jin Zhengyi?" Lu Ming asked again.
"He was a lung cancer patient. After hitting someone, he jumped into the river. His family members immigrated to Yingzhou half a month ago." Cheng Lingyu gritted his teeth.
Kato Shoichi was very arrogant and acted in all kinds of ways. He even told the police without any secret that I was the one who killed him.
However, from a legal perspective, there is nothing we can do about it.
Perhaps after entering the trial, the jurors will decide based on their emotions that the car accident is related to Kato Shoichi.
But now, there is no key evidence that can make the court justified in ruling that the case of Kato Shoichi as a suspect is established.
Lu Ming fell silent.
Cheng Lingyu looked at Mr. Li and said, "Aunt Li, I don't think Lawyer Lu has any good ideas. There are still a few hours before the deadline. I'll look for clues again."
I just didn't say that time is precious and you wasted my time too much.
Obviously, he couldn't even look down at Lu Ming, a rookie litigator. As for the youngest second-level lawyer in the history of Beiguan, in his opinion, he would think that it was Li Guan who took care of his nephews.
All the old face accumulated over the years was used to create such a 19-year-old second-level lawyer through opportunism.
Li Guan, who had always been respected by others, also resorted to this trick when he met his nephews and nephews whom he could not refuse, which made him feel even more irritable.
"Guan Li, Cheng Jian, I should be able to help. In this case, you two wait a moment while I go back to get some things."
Li Guan's eyes lit up, "Go, go quickly!"
Cheng Lingyu looked helplessly at Li Guan, how much ecstasy soup has this old lady been fed? All our prosecutors are working almost day and night to find some evidence to enable the court to file the case, but the hope is getting slimmer and slimmer. Just this kid
, do you believe it if I say it can help?
Are you still the same aunt who threw the gavel at the bewitching lawyer?
"Do we really have to wait for him?" Cheng Lingyu asked helplessly.
Li Guan glared: "Why, if you stay with my old lady for a while, you think I'm annoying, right? I kicked you too many times back then, and you still hold a grudge?"
Cheng Lingyu was helpless and did not dare to say anything anymore.
After a short time, Lu Ming turned around and handed the file bag in his hand to Cheng Lingyu.
"Li Guan, if you are sure that you will not be assigned to preside over this case, you can also take a look." Lu Ming nodded to the little old lady who was a little unable to hold back.
Li Guan immediately grabbed the file bag, untied the string quickly and took out the contents, which were a dozen photos.
Li Guan, who was originally very excited, suddenly became angry. After looking at it for a few times, he threw the photo to Cheng Lingyu.
Cheng Lingyu looked at the photos and then looked at Lu Ming in shock: "These photos? How did you get here?"
"Kim Zhengyi hid it in the locker of Wuyoumei Supermarket. I found it by accident."
Lu Ming did not mention that he had been to Jin Zhengyi's house. It was not because he had used illegal procedures to collect evidence. When he obtained the evidence, it had nothing to do with the prosecution, so there was no problem with the evidence collection process.
For example, if the police break in in front of a suspect's house without a search warrant, it is definitely illegal. However, if a civilian kicks in the door and rushes in to get some key evidence, the police will arrest the person who broke into the house without permission.
If you get the evidence he produced, it will be stolen goods and can be legally detained without violating any procedures.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Lu Ming did not mention that the key he got from Jin Zhengyi’s house was something that the police failed to find. If he found it himself, the prosecution branch would be angry and blame the police for their work.
If you fail to do so, you will become an enemy in the eyes of the police, especially the people collecting evidence that day.
There is no point in offending people for no reason.
Cheng Lingyu naturally knew that Lu Mingyan didn't mean it, but it didn't matter where these photos came from at this moment.
He looked at the photo and frowned: "It seems that it is not a forgery. The location is the Japanese underground secret room, but we did not find any blood or corpse there. The boy who was killed may be the person mentioned by Jin Zhengyi
One of the little boys who was tortured and killed, but no body was found, let alone his name.”
Lu Ming smiled: "At least, it should pass the court hearing, and the court has reasons to open the case for trial."
"Yes!" Cheng Lingyu nodded and stood up hastily, "I'm going to submit the application right now!" He arrived in front of the door curtain of the private room in two steps, suddenly paused, turned around and said: "Aunt Li, I'm leaving!" He looked again
He glanced at Lu Ming and said softly, "Thank you!"
Then he opened the door curtain and walked out quickly. He heard a sharp sound on the stairs, and he went away in a hurry.
"Little guy, you did a good job!" Li Guan stared at Lu Ming with his little eyes, "What are you waiting for? If you don't go back and prepare, you will lose this case. I tell you, you will regret knowing me, an old lady!
"
"Cheng Jian..." Lu Ming just said two words when he was interrupted by Li Guan, "Does he still have a reason to refuse now? Just go as soon as possible!"
When the little old lady is impatient, she is really impatient.
Lu Ming had no choice but to stand up, say goodbye and leave.
Listening to the slow footsteps outside, Li Guan wanted to rush out and push the little brat downstairs for a few quick steps.
But then, he couldn't help but laugh, shook his head, and watched Lu Ming get into a rickshaw from the window, sighing softly, not knowing what he was thinking.
