Section 109 Preliminary examination (2)
Zhou Bingcheng slowed down kindly, and watched the three people who followed him keep rushing to him, and the four of them hugged each other as if no one was around!
"Hey!" The bailiff snapped, but whispered a few words to Zhang Dadong and Lin Zhenqiang, and then nodded hesitantly and stopped bothering.
For a long time, Lu Li and a few people separated, "You guys...... You ......"
Xu Yunjian gave him a punch head-on, "CNM!" Can't you save some trouble? How can you get in trouble everywhere you go? ”
Cao Xun pushed him away and looked him up and down, "Xiaoxiao, how is it over here?" I've heard people say, in that what, is there anyone bullying you? ”
With tears in his eyes, Lu Li eagerly looked at his two most confidant friends, and only after a while did he whisper: "No, I ...... Pretty good. ”
"Oops, it scares us to death! We came back to Yangcheng to see you, and if we could, we would go back together, who knew that something like this happened? ”
"How did you get here?"
Cao Xun leaned close to his ear and whispered: "It's Li Zhengrong, he brought us over, but he was embarrassed to see you, at the door." ”
"This fuck thing." Xu Yunjian ignored the fact that he was in front of the public, and scolded, "Just leave you here?" You say, is there such an ignorant person? ”
"Forget it, don't blame him, I asked him to go back first - the specific situation, I'll explain it to you later."
Cao Xun nodded, patted him on the shoulder, and gave him a look, "Hey, talk to your sister-in-law, you don't know, your sister-in-law has been crying for you for several days." ”
No need for him to say. Lu Li also saw it, Liang Wei's eyes were crying like rotten peaches, the flowers were clear, the pear blossoms were raining, and it was extremely distressing to look at, "Xiaowei." ……”
Liang Wei didn't say a word, suddenly grabbed his hand and bit him fiercely on the outer edge of his palm! Lu Li was sweating on his forehead in pain, the girl was really angry with herself, this bite was very heavy, and she was bleeding! "Sister-in-law, don't be like this, Xiaoxiao didn't mean to cause trouble - forget it, it's not good for others to see it."
Liang Wei finally let go of her mouth. With tears in her eyes, the girl threw herself into her arms, wrapped her arms around his waist, and began to cry with a whimper.
"I'm fine, Xiaowei, really, I'm fine. Napoleon said that a life that has not been in prison is mutilated. Now, I've filled that last gap. You should be happy for me. ”
Ou Pei Linying almost laughed out loud on the spot! Can you comfort your girlfriend in this way? This approach works! Liang Wei glared at Lu Li, buried her head in his arms again, crossed her fingers behind her back, and used all her strength, as if she was going to squeeze herself into his body.
"Alright, it's time to go in." Lin Zhenqiang was half forced to separate the two people. Lu Li was accompanied by Zhang Dadong and Ou Pei Linying into the courtroom; Lin Zhenqiang, Cao Xun, Xu Yunjian, Liang Wei, Zhou Bingcheng and others entered the courtroom and sat down in the auditorium.
On the wall directly opposite the courtroom, a British flag hangs. Below are two lions standing upright opposite each other, a wooden courtroom, below which are the court's stenographers, and in front of a small desk with a typewriter on it. Opposite the judge's bench are two long tables where the plaintiff and the plaintiff are seated. The courtroom is flanked by a booth for suspects and a jury bench, both of which are now empty and will not be filled until the official trial begins.
Ou Pei Linying took Lu Li into a seat, and after waiting for a while, the Department of Justice also sent a representative, a thirty-four or five-year-old man, with a straight suit and good looks, accompanied by an assistant into the courtroom, and even had a good conversation with Ou Pei Linying, Lu Li naturally didn't understand at all, but Xu Yunjian's muttering came from behind, "Hey, sister-in-law, this is not right, why does this lawyer greet the people over there?" You can't be trying to set a little trick, right? ”
"I ...... I don't know. ”
Zhou Bingcheng was very happy to listen to it, although this Xu Yun Sword man was very rough and spoke with an unpleasant accent, but it was not annoying. He took the initiative to explain to them: "You don't have to worry about this, Pei Dazhuang also worked in the Department of Justice back then, and he is very familiar with people there. These people's personal friendships are personal friends, and they will never deviate from their own purpose in official affairs. ”
"What purpose?" Cao Xun immediately asked.
"It's about fighting for the best interests of your own client - oh, stop talking, here we go."
A man stood up in the courtroom and said in Cantonese, "He's saying, Case No. 00709, the Hong Kong government sued a Chinese man, Lu Li, for the manslaughter of a Chinese man, Tian Jiabin. Judge Hall presided, and everyone stood up! ”
The crowd stood up, a door opened behind the judge's bench, and a man with thinning hair and a suit came out and sat upright in his seat, and when everyone was back seated, the judge in Campos looked down and said a few words in English, "He was asking if the prosecution and defense were ready." ”
"Yes, court, it's ready."
"Defendant, then, please stand."
Lu Li didn't understand at all, but Lin Zhenqiang kept acting as a simultaneous interpreter for him for a while, and then he stood up, and Ou Pei Linying also stood up, "In court, my client can't understand Cantonese and English, so I arranged for a translator, please allow him to answer on his behalf." ”
"Yes." Campos nodded and asked, "The Department of Justice charged you with the accidental murder of a Chinese man Miao Jiabin in the Kimkafu Jewellery and Goldware Store in Hong Kong's Causeway Bay area and Percival Street on April 4 this year, do you plead guilty to it?" ”
"Plead not guilty."
The stenographer in the court kept his hands and recorded it quickly. The judge nodded and didn't ask any more, "Next, on the matter of the Chinese man Lu Li being released on bail pending trial, the two can make a statement." ”
The man from the Department of Justice immediately stood up and spoke eloquently, "In court, Lu Li is not from Hong Kong, he has no household registration, residential address in Hong Kong, and even no property that can be used as a guarantee for him, which makes him much more likely to waive bail than other parties in similar cases, therefore, we do not agree to release on bail pending trial." ”
Ou Pei Linying changed her usual appearance of cherishing words like gold. "In court, Mr. Lu's case was motivated by righteous indignation, out of the emotion that a good citizen cannot allow illegal things to happen in front of his eyes, and as for whether he injured or killed someone, it remains to be tried by the court -- I don't think he has any reason to lose a fair trial and a fair judicial process." ”
"Lawyer Pei. I think it is necessary to remind you once again that Mr. Lo has no status in Hong Kong, and if he absconds on bail, he will ......"
Xu Yunjian listened to Zhou Bingcheng's translation in the back, and finally couldn't hold it anymore here, stood up in the middle of the banquet, and scolded with his halberd fingers, "CNM!" Little people you don't know? He'd rather die than run away, you sb thing. Get out and I'll kill you! ”
Cao Xun was so startled that the three souls walked a couple and a half, pulled him back to his seat, and covered his mouth. In fact, the vast majority of people in the court could not understand his words of scolding the street, but the meaning was clear. The judge struck the gavel, "Silence, silence!" ”
Re-ordered, Campos nodded. "The bail is 1.2 million, of which 1 million are securities. The trial will be held on the 11th of next month. ”
"Leave the court!"
The corresponding procedures have been completed. Lu Li walked out of the courtroom gate, and saw Li Zhengrong smoking on the lawn outside the gate, the latter was shy, and when he saw Lu Li and the others coming out, he took a few steps forward, but stood timidly. Luli didn't say a word, and hugged him tightly in the past! "Good...... Nabs! ”
Li Zhengrong punched him with a smile, "How is it, you didn't suffer anything, right?" “
"No, the old man is okay?"
"Good. My dad...... Forget it, I'll talk to you more carefully when I find a place to settle down. ”
Cao Xun said: "CAO! Are you crying? Where is this? The Great Leader said,...... The long march has only completed the first step, and when you are acquitted, buddy...... In the ......"
"That's it!" Xu Yunjian smiled and separated the two people, and looked at Lu Li deeply, "Grandson, CNM!" ”
Lu Li also reddened his eyes for Xu Yunjian's scolding, "Xu Yunjian ......"
"Come on, come on, don't shed tears in front of me, cao egg thing, turn around and let people see it, and think what's wrong with you!"
Ou Pei Linying and Liang Wei stood side by side, watching the four men hug warmly and talk to each other, the two looked at each other and smiled, "............"
"I'm sorry, I don't understand."
"Pei Dazhuang is asking you, are you two boyfriend and girlfriend?"
"Yes." Liang Wei generously admitted, "Oh, Mrs. Pei, thank you for your help to Lu Li. ”
"My surname is Pei, but my husband's surname is Ou, you can call me Mrs. Ou."
Liang Wei listened to Lin Zhenqiang's translation, and playfully stuck out her tongue, "I understand." ”
Ou Pei Linying chuckled rarely, she liked this beautiful and lively girl very much, and reminded her of her daughter who was far away from home, "Where do you live?" ”
"I don't know this yet, and I don't dare to call the shots, I have to ask him."
"Then, let's go back to my law firm first, and then discuss it further there."
Located on Yanchuan Bay Street, Ou Pei Linying's law firm is a three-storey modern building composed of glass and chrome, with a fountain in front of the gate constantly spraying water, and the all-glass surface of the building is set against a colorful splash of water, sprinkling a brilliant rainbow in the sun, which looks fantastic and beautiful!
A few dirt buns stood by the fountain in a daze, letting the splashes fall on their shoulders, and the beautiful scenery in front of them made them lose their speech, but their mouths opened wide, and they didn't even notice the water dripping into it. "Mr. Lu, let's go in."
"Oh, oh." Lu Li stupidly followed behind the crowd and took the elevator up to the third floor, which was the senior lawyer's office area, in addition to Ou Pei Linying, there were three other people, named Luo Louis, George Lee and John Lin.
Cao Xun and Xu Yunjian listened strangely, and the two frequently whispered, "Look at their appearance, they are also Chinese, right?" Why do you call foreign devil names? ”
"I don't know."
Luli glared, and the two hurriedly shut up. Follow Ou Pei Linying into the large conference room, sit down separately, OL handed over coffee, and everyone sat around the table, "Mr. Lu, during the bail pending trial, you have to go to the Hong Kong Causeway Bay District Police Station every three days to report, until the case is over - no matter what reason, if you do not go to the police station at the appointed time, the bail will be automatically terminated, and you will be immediately arrested by the police and re-detained in the detention center - this is not only an action to restrain your behavior in the short term, but also in the future trial, It is a very unfavorable situation for you. Because in the eyes of the jury, you are a person who cannot comply with the legal system. ”
"I understand, don't worry, once every three days, I wrote it down."
"Also, Pei Dazhu said that a few of you will not leave Hong Kong for the time being, at least, Mr. Lu will not leave for the time being, so they will provide you with a place to live."
"Ah, this ...... Not used. ”
Ou Pei Linying nodded to Zhou Bingcheng, and the latter said, "Don't worry, the house prepared for you belongs to this lawyer's office." It was bought in preparation for visiting dignitaries - who would have found another place to live. ”
Lu Li pondered for a long time, nodded happily, and said to the two people: "Mr. Zhou, Lawyer Pei, this time I Lu Li owes you, if you need my help in the future, as long as you say a word, I will definitely be responsible to the end!" ”
The two of them laughed, but neither of them took his promise to heart. "Wait a while, Mr. John Lin will take you to the apartment, have a good rest, and leave everything to Pei Dazhuo." (To be continued......)
