On May 7th, Lu Li and a few others went to Ou Pei Linying's law firm again, in a room on the second floor, which had been furnished as a courtroom layout, Lu Li walked in a few steps, thinking that it was a real courtroom, and the furnishings here were exactly the same as those seen in the courtroom that day!

Lin Zhenqiang explained to him, and Lu Li realized that this was the scene arrangement that was about to be made for the virtual trial, and the purpose of such preparations was to let the suspect understand and familiarize himself with the process of the court hearing to a certain extent, and in the answers to the questions raised by the prosecution, he could avoid the unfavorable content of his own side.

The virtual courtroom is set up exactly like a normal hearing, with judges, stenographers, bailiffs, juries and, of course, representatives of the prosecution and defense – the vast majority of whom are made up of people with some legal knowledge in the law firm, except for the jury, which is recruited on an ad hoc basis – and of course, costs money.

The judge was played by Zhang Dadong temporarily, John Lin was the prosecution, Ou Pei Linying was the defense, Lin Zhenqiang sat next to Lu Li and acted as an interpreter for him, first John Lin asked the witnesses at the scene, "Your name?" ”

"My name is Tony Liu." A member of the lawyer's office played the role of a clerk in a gold shop who had communicated with Lu Li that day, and of course, everything he said here was exactly according to the transcript of the interrogation provided by the prosecution from the real Liu Dongni.

"What's your profession?"

"I work as the first counter service manager at the Causeway Bay store of Kim Ka Fook Jewellery & Goldware."

"What happened to the store on April 4 of this year?"

"We were doing business as usual, and then suddenly four people came in, one of them was standing behind Leon, and then knocked Leon unconscious with a wooden stick, and the remaining three people started to rob."

"So. Did their robbery succeed? ”

"Nope."

"Why?"

"Because one of the men rushed in from the outside, three of the bandits were quickly dealt with, and the remaining one was also subdued by the police officers who came in later. So, except for the glass being shattered and the goldsmiths being hit a little bit. Nothing to lose. ”

"So, do you know this man who rushed in from the outside? Is he in court now? ”

"That's the one who is."

Lu Li pointed at him with a red face, and slightly staggered his gaze, "Please record in court that the witness refers to Lu Li, the defendant in this case." John Lin paused and continued: "So, have you seen the process of Lu Li fighting with these three gangsters? ”

"I saw it all."

"Can you tell the jury what you saw?"

Liu Dongni said a lot. John Lin didn't interrupt, let him tell, and waited until the other party said that Lu Li and Tian Jiabin had fought three times, until the other party was already shaky, but he still mustered up the courage to continue to stand up, he suddenly spoke, "Did you see with your own eyes that the deceased Tian Jiabin has lost the ability to resist?" ”

"I protested. In court, Mr. Liu Dongni was not a doctor or other professional. He couldn't make a judgment on whether Tian Jiabin, one of the robbers, had lost the ability to resist. ”

"Recognition."

"Then let me change the question, Mr. Liu, as far as you can see, what kind of state is the deceased Tian Jiabin in?"

"I don't know, but he was bleeding from his body and face. And the pace is not very stable anymore. ”

John Lin nodded, turned around and picked up a document. Raised high, "This is the autopsy report issued by the Medical Faculty of the University of Hong Kong, in which it is mentioned that the deceased Tian Jiabin was found by autopsy that the deceased had suffered very serious injuries before his death. Four rib fractures, a broken collarbone, a ruptured spleen — and the fatal injury came from a severed artery on the left side of his neck — and I had no other problems. ”

Xu Yunjian, Cao Xun, Li Zhengrong and Liang Wei sat side by side not far behind Lu Li, Xu Yunjian stared at John Lin with fiery eyes, muttered in his mouth, Cao Xun touched his shoulder, "This is fake, why are you angry?" ”

"No, this grandson is aimed at Xiaoxiao, and I don't like him. Go back and find a chance, and beat the hard! ”

John Lin sat down temporarily, and Ou Pei Linying stood up, her question was much simpler than the former, "Mr. Liu, as an individual, how do you evaluate Mr. Lu Li's behavior?" ”

"Be brave in the face of righteousness."

"Thanks, I have no more questions."

One by one, the witnesses on the scene were asked, and then, Lu Li sat on the witness stand, and it was still John Lin who asked first, "Mr. Lu, how did you come to Hong Kong through what means?" ”

"Objection, the hall, has nothing to do with the facts of the case."

"Recognition."

John Lin nodded and changed the question, "Mr. Lu, is this your first time coming to Hong Kong?" ”

"Yes."

"Has anything like this ever happened to you before?"

"Nope."

"So, according to your confession, you saw everything that happened inside through the glass window of the store? Did you know what was going on inside? ”

"I know."

"Now that you know, why didn't you go to the police immediately, but instead broke in, do you have such confidence in your martial arts? I mean, you can face the four gangsters in it on your own? ”

"It's my first time in Hong Kong, and I don't even know how to call the police here, so I didn't think much about it at the time, and rushed in."

The twelve members of the jury burst into laughter, but John Lin ignored it and continued to ask: "Mr. Lu, when you were in the mainland, did you have any experience in martial arts?" ”

"Nope."

"No?" John Lin didn't believe it, this was not pretending, "After you went in, you knocked out two robbers one after another, one of them was beaten into asphyxiating shock by you, and the second one showed symptoms of concussion-Mr. Lu, in such a situation, do you still want to say that you have no experience in martial arts?" In such a short period of time, using such a method to solve two people who are far larger than you in size and weight, you are still insisting that you have no experience in martial arts? ”

"I really haven't practiced martial arts, but ......"

"But what?"

"I know it's hard to explain, but I really haven't practiced martial arts. Most of what I know comes from the combat experience I have developed after fighting others, and that's it. ”

Ou Pei Linying sat in her seat. Carefully observing the expressions of the twelve jury members, the pen in her hand kept writing something on the paper, she understood that Luli's answer left a very bad impression on the jury—in the minds of these people, this young man was lying! If such a problem arises in a real courtroom. The outcome of the case could be terrible.

Sure enough, after the initial trial, the jury was questioned in the form of a questionnaire, and the answers obtained were the same as she imagined, and these people were disgusted by Luley's lying! "Mr. Lu, I think it is necessary for you to admit this, that is. When the prosecution asks you whether you practice martial arts, you have to answer in the affirmative. ”

"I really didn't lie, I really didn't practice - Xu Yunjian and Cao Xun can all testify for me."

Xu Yunjian immediately nodded, "That's right, I'll testify!" Xiaoxiao has never practiced martial arts. ”

"I testify too!"

"I know, but the situation now is that it is difficult for people to believe what you say according to the skills and exercises you have shown in the gold shop. And Mr. Xu and Mr. Cao are bound to not be your witnesses in court. So, these words of yours. It became an orphan evidence. For the jury, these are some words that are difficult to believe. ”

Luli hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded, "Okay, I said yes." But, I said yes. Is that the problem solved? ”

"Mr. Lu, you must know that the key to a court hearing, or rather, the most important factor influencing a trial is not the evidence presented by both sides and the confessions of individuals, including eyewitnesses. It's the suspicion that emerges from all these factors! In this case, both the prosecution and the defense are facing the same problem, that is, the technique called 'divine beating' used by the deceased Tian Jiabin in the process of fighting with you! As long as we can prove the existence of this technique, our trial can be successful – contrary to ours, the position of the prosecution is to prove that this so-called magic fight does not exist – and if they can prove it, they have the upper hand. ”

"Those words that the man shouted that day?"

"Yes. On this point, we have two very important witnesses, one is Professor Jiang Dazhong of the School of Psychiatry of the University of Hong Kong, and the other is a senior brother of the Great Holy Sect of Hong Kong. As long as these two people testify in court, we can prove that this kind of divine fight, which seems to be detached from modern society and resembles superstitious thoughts, does exist. When the time comes, it will be possible to explain that the deceased Tian Jiabin has been hit hard several times and has not fallen, and it is precisely by relying on this special spiritual power that all the prosecution's offensive against you will be in vain. ”

"What do you mean by God fighting?"

"You don't have to think about it, you just need to know how to answer the other person's questions according to what we give you. I'll take care of the rest. Now......" She paused, smiled, and said, "Rest for a while." ”

She turned her head to discuss with John Lin, Zhang Dadong and others, Liang Wei and several people gathered around, they haven't seen each other for a few days, a pair of men and women with affection in their hearts have a lot of things to say to each other, but the time and place are not suitable, so they have to press down the thoughts in their hearts, "Xiaoxiao, hurry up and end it, buddy is a little homesick." ”

"To tell you the truth, so am I." Lu Li smiled bitterly and said, "Hold on for a few more days, let's go home together!" ”

On May 11, the trial of Lu Li's case in the Hong Kong District Court officially began, similar to the virtual trial held in the law firm of Ou Pei Linying, after the two sides cross-examined various witnesses and parties, including Lu Li, the focus of the topic was on the spiritual process of 'divine beating', which has a special meaning.

"Professor Jiang, according to your research, can the human spirit really exist beyond the body?"

"Yes, I can give you a very simple example, someone has seen someone walk barefoot through a burning red charcoal fire, which is undoubtedly a manifestation of mental power. In the minds of these people, reverence for faith causes them to forget or ignore physical suffering, and to achieve astonishing results – an even more obvious example is the fact that the Indian yoga masters can spend twenty days without food or drink, and it is also evident that the physical suffering is offset by spiritual perseverance. ”

Ou Pei Linying sat down satisfied. Hans Zhong stood up and asked, of course he would not accept the result of defeat so easily, "So, Professor Jiang, in this case, did the deceased have the spiritual power in the two examples you mentioned?" ”

"This. I do not know. ”

"So, can it also be said that the deceased Tian Jiabin did not have the real spiritual strength to resist physical pain?"

"Yes, so to speak."

"Thanks, I have no more questions."

The last witness invited by the defense was the third senior brother of the Hong Kong Great Holy Gate, one of the many martial arts schools in Hong Kong, this sect specializes in divine fighting, and many disciples in the sect, including the head of the sect, have the ability to invite the gods to the body. The one invited is the Monkey King of "Journey to the West"! It is said that if you really invite the Monkey King, the one who invites the gods will really have the special ability of invulnerability!

"Mr. Liu, can you really ask God to come up? And still invite Monkey King to come up? ”

"Of course!" Liu has been practicing martial arts in the door for a long time, and he is a little out of touch with the outside world, and he has a bit of a stiffness when he speaks, "Otherwise, what is it called the Great Holy Gate?" ”

"As far as I know, people who can ask God to come up. They all have a good kung fu that is invulnerable, but this kind of thing. Isn't it too magical in modern times? Can it really be done? ”

"Why not? Let me tell you, the kung fu of our Great Sage Gate is what the old man of Monkey King left when he kept his master Xitian to learn scriptures, and he can go up to the Lingxiao Treasure Hall and down to the Netherworld Mansion. No matter what kind of weapon in the world, it doesn't matter! ”

Luley almost burst out laughing on the spot! In fact, it was not only him, but everyone in the courtroom spoke for Liu someone, "In court," Ou Pei Linying said to the judge: "Asking God to come forward may be a nonsense in the eyes of the prosecution." But the matter is about the freedom of an innocent person, so I implore the court to allow me to show the information from the Great Holy Gate. ”

"Agreed."

The so-called material is a videotape, a VCR and a TV are found, and after a snowflake, the show begins.

In the shot, Liu was naked with his upper body, revealing his sturdy body, yelling at the camera a few times, and then beckoning, a man held a snowy long knife in his hand, and without saying a word, he slashed straight between his chest and abdomen! Liu's arms went up, resisting the blade with his flesh and blood, and slashed through it, Liu turned back, and the blade slashed at his naked back again, and it was very clear in the camera that the man was unscathed!

This kind of chopping action has been staged many times, but Liu has always been as if nothing happened, only white marks have been added to the bronzed skin of his chest, abdomen and back.

Ou Pei Linying stopped the broadcast of the program, "Your Excellency, gentlemen and ladies of the jury, the situation is very clear now, the spiritual power that only exists in ancient times also exists in modern society. In view of this, it can be known that my client was facing such a robber with special abilities that day! And now, none of us know if the deceased Tian Jiabin still has the ability to resist when he has been knocked down several times! However, based on the existing evidence, please make a corresponding judgment on the premise that the interests of the doubtful points belong to the defendant, thank you. ”

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

Liang Wei looked at her watch anxiously, she had been waiting for ten minutes, why hadn't Lu Li come out yet, "Cao Xun?" All...... It's been so long, it won't ...... What's wrong? It's not that ...... Innocent? ”

Cao Xun was also a little flustered, yes, why has it been so long? Thinking like this in his heart, he comforted himself with his mouth: "It's okay, sister-in-law, don't worry." ”

After a while, he finally saw Lu Li walking out accompanied by Ou Pei Linying, Liang Wei cheered and rushed to him in a few steps, "Xiaoxiao? ”

"I'm fine, are you in a hurry?"

The girl had tears in her eyes and nodded urgently, "Why is it so ...... Long? ”

"You have to go through the corresponding procedures!" Luli dragged his lover's hand up and clasped her fingers, "It's over, Xiaowei, let's go home!" (To be continued......)
