Section 108 Preliminary examination (1)

Ou Pei Linying, Zhang Dadong and Lin Zhenqiang sat side by side on the side of the long table unique to the detention center, and after waiting for a while, a police officer opened the door, Lu Li appeared outside the iron gate wearing an orange prison suit, there were two people who knew and had dealt with many times, the only lady he didn't know, obediently followed behind the police officer, walked to the side opposite the long table, nodded to the three kindly, pulled out the chair and sat down.

After graduating from Virginia State University School of Law, she returned to Hong Kong and joined the Department of Justice as an Assistant District Prosecutor and then promoted to Deputy Public Prosecutor and Public Prosecutor, where she served for 8 years until she got married and gave birth to her eldest son. And with the help of her husband, she set up her own law firm. It's been nearly twenty years since then.

She has been in charge for many years, and has seen too many parties, but the attitude towards the parties is completely different, when she was in the Department of Justice, she vowed to bring all the bad guys to justice, she did a good job, in the cases she was responsible for, the conviction rate exceeded 87%, including Hong Kong Stanley Prison and other prisons under the penitentiary, I don't know how many people were sent to it through her eloquence.

Later, he set up his own law firm, and the situation changed! Turning into a crime made her unable to get out of her heart for a long time. But when she began to accept the change, she once again demonstrated her precise legal knowledge and skill in the use of methods in court, and the exoneration rate reached a staggering 14.5%!

In 1976, after she stepped out of the shadow of her husband and son, and her daughter went abroad to study, she no longer had any worries around her, and she devoted all her energy to her professional field. This figure has reached 22% in a short period of time! Especially after winning the Xiao Yuan extradition case (see below for details), Ou Pei Linying's limelight was unmatched for a while, and she was really soft to accept the case!

There are many people who have seen it, and there are countless of them who are big traitors, Ou Pei Linying asked herself, whether the person concerned is loyal or traitorous can be known at a glance. Sometimes, however, as a lawyer, you have to deliberately ignore this issue.

"Mr. Lu, this is Lawyer Ou Pei Linying, entrusted by Mr. Zhou Bingcheng, she will be your lawyer."

Luley thought back to the name in his head, a four-word name? Is it a compound surname? Ou Pei ...... Does the family name have such a compound surname, or do you not know it?

Lin Zhenqiang saw it and explained to him: "Actually, her name is Pei Linying, and the addition of the word 'Ou' is her husband's surname - in Hong Kong." This is very common. ”

"I see."

"Mr. Lu, Pei Dasu has already read your file, in which the original prosecutor has put forward a very strong witness, that is, a robber in the store at the time,......" Lin Zhenqiang explained the situation to him without annoyance, and then asked: "Mr. Lu, if we can't successfully refute the other party's words in court, what about your telling." I'm afraid it will lead to very bad results. So, please remember it again. Is there any information worth using? ”

"Yes, when he was fighting me, the deceased made a movement that I couldn't understand, and I couldn't understand what he said, but after that, I found ......"

"Found what?"

"I found that his resistance suddenly became very strong. I punched him in the face. As if nothing was happening. That's why I had to use heavy hands, and that's why I did. ”

Lin Zhenqiang listened while explaining to the other two people, Zhang Dadong was stunned for a moment, took the file and opened it. There are eyewitness testimonies of everyone at the scene of the incident, but there is no mention of any special actions of Tian Jiabin (that is, the deceased), he shook his head at Ou Pei Linying, indicating that there is no.

Ou Pei Linying also felt a little strange, she didn't think that Lu Li would lie to herself about this matter, but the information given by the Department of Justice never mentioned this matter. Was it negligent, or was it intentional? Didn't pass on all the witness statements to your side? In that case, the situation is very serious! Once it is raised, in addition to the case being obtained, Hans Zhong will also have to suffer a lawsuit! She immediately rejected such an idea in her heart, Hans would not make such a low-level mistake!

There was silence in the reception room for a moment, Ou Pei Linying turned her head and whispered a few words to Zhang Dadong, who nodded and got up to leave. Lu Li was a little reluctant, greedily watching his back disappear into the corridor, facing the two of them, he smiled to himself, "Don't worry, Mr. Lu, since Pei Dazhu has taken over your lawsuit, he will definitely be responsible until the end, and besides, Alan is not your lawyer, he is just a master." ”

Lu Li has a look of understanding or not, for a few days, his ears have been filled with these words that Lin Zhenqiang said, but he doesn't understand the meaning of these words and words at all, and he just hears a few oh, oh a few times, but he doesn't speak.

“…………”

"Mr. Lu, Pei Dazhu wants to say that she has read your file and will respect your choice as a party and avoid talking about the process of coming to Hong Kong with your companions, but she must tell you in advance that your practice is quite risky."

"I understand."

"For this case, what Pei Dazhuang wants to ask you is that when facing Zhao Hao and Xu Liang, many people at the scene saw that you knocked them to the ground in the shortest possible time - have you practiced martial arts?"

"No, I've never practiced martial arts, and a lot of my skills come from fighting with others."

Ou Pei Linying listened to Lin Zhenqiang's translation, shook her head categorically, and said a few words in English, "Pei Dazhu said that when the original plaintiff comes to ask you for a confession, you must not say that." ”

"Why?"

"Because it will create an impression on the jury that when you were originally in the mainland, you were committed to fighting, and after you came to Hong Kong, you never changed your habits......"

Lu Li's eyebrows flicked quickly, and his face became a little dull! Every time he makes this kind of expression, it is a sign of unhappiness in his heart. The two people opposite him noticed the change in his expression at the same time, this change had an inexplicable dramatic effect, the originally quite delicate and handsome face, instantly became cold and majestic, and the two men and women who were not very familiar with him were actually caught by this sudden change in his temperament!

Lu Li understood very well what Lin Zhenqiang's translated words meant, and said that he would not change his habits. I think he also did a little language processing in the process of translation, this woman was probably going to say that the bad habits will not change, right? It's fortunate that it's my own righteousness and bravery, if I change things on the side, I don't know what people want to say! Thinking about it like this, I have a bad impression of the woman in front of me, and I don't even bother to talk to her.

"Mr. Lu. You...... What's wrong? ”

Luli sighed secretly, "It's nothing. ”

"So, what did you just say?"

"Yes, I see."

Lin Zhenqiang said: "Mr. Lu, Pei Dazhu said, if you can recall anything else that can help you testify in court, you must tell us as soon as possible, which may be useful for your future trial." ”

"This. I can't think for a moment, oh, my two companions and the group they came over this time, have they already gone back? ”

"Yes, they have gone back. The day before yesterday, I went to the hotel to see Mr. Li and Mr. Wei, and I relayed your words to them. ”

"That, that...... I'm staying here. Do you have to wait until the case is over? ”

Ou Pei Linying and Lin Zhenqiang whispered a few words, and the latter said: "The first court appearance will be about April 28. At that time, Pei Dasu will fight for your release on bail pending trial, but your identity is a bit special and there will be some difficulties. ”

"I don't understand."

"Bail is a judicial ,......process," Lam explained, and then said, "For Hong Kong people." This is not a big problem, after all, the circumstances of your case are not very serious. But you're from the mainland, so, you know? ”

"I understand. You're afraid I'll run away, aren't you? ”

Lin Zhenqiang smiled and did not answer, and said: "There is another good news, in addition to being the defendant in this case, you are also an eyewitness to another case - that is, the robbery case - for the prosecution, your testimony is the key testimony that can determine this case - Pei Dazhuo's opinion is that this is used as an argument as a condition for discussion with the Department of Justice." ”

"Aren't there a lot of people? I mean, there were a few people in the store at the time. ”

"Yes, that's of course, but the eyewitness testimony of any one person is very important, and in the prosecution, anyone's words cannot be ignored."

Luli nodded, asked himself if he had much more to say, got up again, followed the officer, and walked into the corridor of the detention cell.

*******************************************

Lu Li never thought that his trip to Hong Kong would cause so much trouble, and he hated it for a while! If you knew this was the case, why bother with so much nosy? Even, what are you doing in Hong Kong? Isn't it good that the matter in Yangcheng is settled, and he will return to Tian (Tianjin) immediately? Now...... If his aunt knew about this, he couldn't imagine how much heart Yu Fang would have for himself! As soon as this thought arose, Lu Li's heart ached as if he had been pinched hard!

After spending a difficult month in the detention center, it was finally the day of the trial, and the blue iron car went out of the police station, all the way to the Hong Kong District Court, after going through the corresponding procedures, the two bailiffs handcuffed him and escorted him all the way to the residence room, and after a while, Lin Zhenqiang and Zhang Dadong walked in, "Mr. Lu, don't worry, this time the court is just for the initial questioning, and the judge will ask you in court whether you will confess to the evidence provided by the prosecution, and you just need to promise not to admit guilt, That's it. ”

"Yes, you said that last time."

"As for other things, don't say anything, leave everything to Pei Dazhuo, and she will fight for your right to be released on bail pending trial." If the court allows, you can leave the court's custody today – of course, it's still necessary to check in at the police station every other week, but it's only a necessary judicial tool. ”

"Yes." Lin Zhenqiang and Zhang Dadong had already told him these words when they came to visit Lu Li in the detention center several times, and he nodded, "Yes, I know. But didn't that Pei Dazhu say that this matter is very difficult? ”

"Please rest assured, Pei Dazhuang has been holding the card for many years, and he is very experienced in such things."

After saying a few words, the bailiff re-entered, unhandcuffed Lu Li, and escorted him out of the door, in the corridor, Ou Pei Linying was already waiting, she was wearing a well-fitting dress, her refined short hair was as black as ink, and she looked a few years younger than her actual age. Seeing him walking out in a suit, Ou Pei Linying was stunned, "Mr. Lu, Pei Dazhu said, don't be afraid." ”

Luli smiled reluctantly and did not speak. "Let's go inside, then."

Several people walked inward, and a few people suddenly turned around at the end of the corridor, and the first one was Zhou Bingcheng, followed by three people around him, and the first one exclaimed, "Little!" ”

Luli turned his head to look, and in just an instant, tears filled his eyes! (To be continued......)
