After sitting down in Director Zeng's office, Lin Xiao found that his office was indeed not big.

As a city where every inch of land is valuable, the police department is also as low as possible to save land, so even if it is the leader of the police department, their office can only accommodate a few people, and the floor spacing is relatively low.

It can be seen that compared with some yamen buildings in the mainland, the style here is indeed much lower.

Some civilian staff gave them water in environmentally friendly paper cups and sent them over, and they were all very simple, and there was nothing special about them.

However, Lin Xiao came over, naturally not to drink their coffee, so he didn't care about this, but when Han Qi saw it, he couldn't help but feel a little slandered, thinking that the power agency here was indeed a bit picky, and he couldn't even afford to buy a bag of tea?

It's just that she seems to have heard that in the police station on Hong Kong Island, don't everyone usually drink coffee?

After everyone chatted for a few words, someone came from the garrison, and a major general rushed over in person, after all, the identities of Concubine Han and Han Qi are not trivial, not only the bosses of large enterprises with great influence in the mainland, but also the daughter of Han Shengxian, and the garrison naturally did not dare to slack off.

As for the other Lin Xiao, he is not an ordinary person.

Although this major general does not appear in front of the public on Hong Kong Island, he actually has a great influence, especially in front of these senior executives and political leaders on Hong Kong Island.

So as soon as he came over, it was busy here for a long time.

Fortunately, everyone is a pragmatic person, so after Lin Xiao called Han Ya to confirm, he asked Concubine Han and Han Qi to follow the people from the garrison.

It is undoubtedly a very safe choice to temporarily lead the military station.

"Then take care of yourself." Concubine Han looked at Lin Xiao and said, "After I go back, I will talk to my father on the phone to explain the situation here." ”

"There's no need to talk to him about it, it's just a small matter after all." Lin Xiao listened, but shook his head and said, "He is usually too busy, don't bother him with this kind of thing, I can handle it myself." ”

"It's okay, then you have to be careful, the situation on Hong Kong Island feels very different from the mainland." Concubine Han listened and nodded as well.

After sending Concubine Han and Han Qi away, Lin Xiao returned to the office with Director Zeng of the Police Department.

"Well, Lin Gongzi, this matter is a little more complicated." Director Zeng took off his hat and said to Lin Xiao with some scratching his head, "The Yin family on Hong Kong Island is a relatively special existence, even if it is in the mainland, they are more tolerant of them, if it is within a certain limit, it is basically difficult to move them." And this time, the degree of your attack is indeed too heavy, judging from the situation on the scene, both sides can't get rid of responsibility. ”

"How can that be compared?" Lin Xiao took a sip of water and said disapprehantly, "They are pretending to be police officers and using heavy firearms to attack me, and I just fought back with my bare hands, which is also legitimate defense." Well, I just don't know how the law on your side defines it, is there such a statement? ”

"Oh, the law here is generally based on the cases that have already been decided, which is the jury system." Director Tsang continued to scratch his head and said, "Therefore, the judge's attitude is often influenced by the members of the jury, and with the influence of the Yin family on Hong Kong Island, it is actually very easy to make some moves in this regard, after all, you are a mainlander, and you do not have an advantage in this regard." ”

"That's right, fortunately, I'm from the mainland, and someone will come to pick me up soon." Lin Xiao smiled.

"Well, I'm afraid it's not that simple." Director Zeng was about to scratch his own scalp, and it was obvious that he was also a little more entangled in this matter.

"What's going on?" Lin Xiao asked after seeing it.

Judging from Director Zeng's performance of scratching his head, it seems that there are still some troublesome problems in this matter, which cannot be solved for the time being.

"As you know, the judges and juries on Hong Kong Island are very difficult to handle, and those barristers are simply able to spit lotus flowers and reverse black and white." Director Zeng said to Lin Xiao, "There are some situations that our police department can't handle. ”

"Oh, that's it......" Lin Xiao nodded, "It's not surprising. ”

The rule of law on Hong Kong Island is not unfamiliar to mainlanders, and it can be said that it is well-known, after all, they know a lot from TV and movies.

Although there are many prejudices in film and television works, in any case, the reason why Hong Kong Island has become an international financial center on a par with New York and London is that a sound rule of law is an indispensable and important pillar of it.

Moreover, Hong Kong Island is a common law region in the United Kingdom and the United States, and the legal tradition and judicial system are very different from those in the mainland, and the role of judges and juries is very large.

Judges on Hong Kong Island can only be selected from among professional personnel such as judges' assistants or lawyers, and most of them are selected strictly from the bottom to the top, so that judges of the Court of Final Appeal generally have 20 or 30 years of experience as judges or lawyers.

Speaking of professional pursuits, we also have to mention the treatment of judges on Hong Kong Island.

The monthly salary of judges on Hong Kong Island is about between more than 100,000 and more than 200,000 Hong Kong dollars, which is indeed very high compared with ordinary people and civil servants.

But if you want to compare it with lawyers, the salaries of judges are still insignificant.

On Hong Kong Island, it is common for senior lawyers to earn tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars a year.

However, there will still be very successful barristers who enter the courts to pursue the profession as judges, such as the Chief Justice of the Hong Kong Island Court of Final Appeal, who was a former barrister.

Obviously, for these judges, money will not be a factor in their pursuit of the profession of judges, and the only explanation is the ideal pursuit of this sacred profession in their hearts.

The admirable professional character of the judges on Hong Kong Island lies in the fact that they do not succumb to any external pressure and act in accordance with their legal conscience.

In the past, there was a real case in which a judge of the High Court of Hong Kong presided over the case of a company of the United States v. the Republic of the Congo, which had a strong political overtone because of the diplomatic issues involved, but the judge's attitude was very clear: he believed that politics was not a matter for the judge to consider, and although the final outcome of the case was resolved through political means, his position as a judge was not affected in any way because of the judgment that was inconsistent with political considerations, on the contrary, he was promoted to a judge of the Court of Appeal of the High Court shortly after.

After all, in the mainland, political issues are given priority, and if you are a judge who does not listen to the greetings from above, you can do whatever you want, completely by your own temperament, where do you put the leader, and what do you want? Well!

"The jury and the barristers are also a headache." Director Zeng complained to Lin Xiao, "Justices are generally more susceptible to influence, and they will comprehensively consider all factors, but on the jury's side, everyone is completely relying on a momentary brain fever to do things, and it is difficult for us to control some of the situations." ”

The jury is indeed a striking feature of Hong Kong Island law that distinguishes it from that of the Mainland.

As everyone knows, the key and difficulty in implementing the constitutional rule of law does not lie in the enactment of the constitution and the formulation and promulgation of laws, but in whether or not there can be a judicial organ that enforces the law impartially and is honest and independent.

Otherwise, no matter how good the constitution and laws are, they will only be gold and jade, and they will only be in name.

The jury system is curbing judicial corruption and safeguarding judicial fairness and judicial independence. to promote the administration of justice to the people. It has an irreplaceable role and value in improving the quality of citizens and preventing the judicial sector from acting arbitrarily and subjectively.

It can be said that the jury is a protective dam against judicial corruption.

Jury members are generally selected at random in the nearby community and for a particular case, so that the stakeholders in the case do not have time to induce and bribe the jury members.

Even if an interested party attempts to bribe a jury, the jury is composed of 12 people, which often discourages the parties from bribing at a high cost.

In the trial of certain major criminal and civil cases, the judge may isolate the jury from the outside world according to the circumstances to avoid interference from the outside world.

Segregated jurors usually stay in designated hotels and are guarded by guards, and jurors are not allowed to leave their accommodations without the judge's permission.

During the quarantine period, jurors were not allowed to read newspapers, watch television, etc., in order to avoid being influenced by the media.

The jury was randomly formed and disbanded at random, and the jurors were not personally responsible for the outcome of the verdict in the case, and there was no constant pressure from public opinion.

Once the verdict was handed down, the jurors disappeared into the crowd.

Therefore, the jury system can minimize the rule of man and better reflect the people. The spirit of the Lord avoids the relationship of the judicial department to the greatest extent, reduces excessive dependence on the personal qualities of judges, and avoids the negative impact of judges' dictatorship and arbitrariness.

The jury system on Hong Kong Island has indeed played a very important role in many cases.

"What does that have to do with me?" Lin Xiao spread his hands and said, "Anyway, I will be taken back to the mainland, even if I hurt some people, so what does it matter?" The court on Hong Kong Island can't sentence me, and these people don't even have a chance to cross paths with me. ”

"Ahem, I mean to say that the development of some things is not subject to our will......" Director Zeng coughed dryly twice, and said a little embarrassed, "This case seems to have attracted the attention of all parties at present, and if I want to act arbitrarily, I am afraid it is unlikely." ”

"You mean you can't control the situation anymore?" When Lin Xiao heard this, he couldn't help frowning.

"Well, that's pretty much what it means." Director Zeng nodded a little awkwardly, although he was reluctant to admit it, but it was true.

"Director Zeng, I am very disappointed when you say that!" Lin Xiao looked at Director Zeng, and his eyes looked very unhappy.

Originally, Lin Xiaoken agreed to come to the police headquarters, because he had said before that the handling of this matter would be handed over to the mainland police, and when the time came, Han Ya would directly take Lin Xiao back, and there would be no problem.

But now, there is so much trouble, of course Lin Xiao will be very impatient.

Especially in this matter, the Yin family on Hong Kong Island, who should be held responsible, still hid behind and did not show up, which made Lin Xiao feel very annoyed.

A small Hong Kong Island, even want to keep Uncle Ben? Dream on!
