Jiang Zhen was finally released on bail thanks to Huang Dawen's hard work.

After returning to Fanling Villa, Jiang Zhen made a phone call to Taiwan, "Brother Zeng, hello, I am Jiang Zhen from the Meixian training class." ”

Zeng Xianyin, the "big brother Zeng" in Jiang Zhen's mouth, was terminally ill at this time and was lying in Taipei Invalides General Hospital waiting to die. However, as one of the few masters of Chinese culture in Taiwan, Zeng Xianyin still has a phone in his ward.

"Xiao Jiang, call me, is there anything wrong?" Zeng Xianyin asked weakly.

Although Zeng Xianyin did not blame Jiang Zhen for "going to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing", Jiang Zhen still felt guilty in his heart.

Jiang Zhen suppressed the turmoil in his heart and said: "Brother Zeng, the British want to take me as a gift to curry favor with the mainland, I can't stay in Hong Kong anymore, and I hope the government can help me go to Taiwan." ”

Zeng Xianyin took a breath and said, "Xiao Jiang, you should call Director Wang about this matter, he is now the director of the Military Intelligence Bureau, and he specializes in this kind of thing." ”

Jiang Zhen heard Zeng Xianyin's refusal, and hurriedly said: "Director Wang was born as a royal guard, where can I afford to climb high?" I also ask Brother Zeng to take a hand for the sake of us all beating the Japanese back then. Brother grateful! ”

Zeng Xianyin sighed and said, "Xiao Jiang, you have been entrenched in Hong Kong for 30 years, do you still have to call Taiwan for help on this matter?" ”

Jiang Zhen said embarrassedly: "I originally wanted to turn to Zheng Haoyun, the king of ships, thinking that with his close ties with the national government, as the boss of China Shipping and the son and daughter of the commander-in-chief of the army, he should always sell this face, who knows...... Alas, don't mention it. Now that I am in front of Brother Zeng, I am already at the end of my rope. ”

Zeng Xianyin rested for more than a minute before speaking again and said, "I'll call Director Wang." You are a meritorious hero of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and you should not end up like this. ”

After speaking, Zeng Xianyin hung up the phone.

……

After the operation bailed Jiang Zhen out, Huang Dawen had to devote himself to the work of saving Cheng An.

After learning about Cheng An's case, Huang Dawen had to persuade Cheng An to admit guilt, "The premise for Jiang Zhen to be released on bail is to admit guilt and accept punishment, and the judge may decide that the red envelope can prove that you are a triad member." Under the Societies Ordinance, it is an offence for any person to be a member of a triad or a member of a triad, or to falsely claim or claim to be a member of a triad, or to attend a meeting of a triad, or to find himself in possession of or responsible for the custody of the books, accounts, notes, membership lists, seals, flags or badges of a triad or its branches, whether or not the triad or branch is incorporated in Hong Kong. on conviction on indictment, a first offence is liable to a fine of HK$50,000 and imprisonment for three years; The offence is punishable by a fine of HK$100,000 and imprisonment for seven years. You are only a first-time offender and the statutory penalty is a fine of HK$50,000 and imprisonment for three years. If you plead guilty, I can help you get two years in prison with no fine. Although there will be restrictions on practice after coming out, it is always good to have a hard top, and then be sentenced to a more severe punishment. As for the crime of drug possession, after plea bargaining, it is possible that the evidence is insufficient and the prosecution will not be prosecuted. ”

Cheng An was still a little unconvinced, "Uncle Wen, I was wronged." You know me best, I'm not the underworld. I don't hide drugs either. If I confess my guilt, then Zhang Yaozu tortured me to extract a confession, wouldn't I have suffered in vain? ”

Huang Dawen comforted Cheng An and said, "Xiao An, don't be excited. You have also undergone professional legal training, and you should know that the law is not about trust, only about evidence. Now that the situation is very bad for you, confessing guilt is the least loss. ”

Cheng An said: "That package of drugs doesn't have my fingerprints on it, it's Zhang Yaozu's bastard who built raw pork." ”

Huang Dawen continued to persuade: "But in the environment where the previous crime is established, it is easy for the jury to find that you possess drugs are also established. If you don't confess your sin, do you want your mother or brother to confess? ”

Cheng An still didn't give up hope, and pleaded: "Uncle Wen, you don't know how many such lawsuits you have fought, help me, after I come out, I will repay you as a cow and a horse." ”

"Zhang Yaozu has been a police officer for more than ten years, and the judge can easily conclude that the prosecution witnesses in this case, including Zhang Yaozu, the police officers in charge of the search at the time are honest and reliable. His torture methods to extract a confession from you are very old-fashioned, and he can't detect any injuries at all. Even if you want to accuse him of torture, you can't do it. Huang Dawen said helplessly: "This case is very difficult. I've been defending you for free until now. You have been in the internship period since you obtained the lawyer qualification, and you have not earned much money, and you simply cannot afford this kind of expense. Listen to my advice, admit your mistakes, and stand up when beaten. You're failing this time, and you'll have to get it back the next time you have the chance. ”

"After I come out, my lawyer's license will definitely be revoked, where is the chance to get it back? After all, I'm just an apprentice for you, and you have to spend energy without taking money, and at this point, you are already very worthy of me, and I should already be grateful. Cheng An's eyes were distracted, and he said with despair, "Uncle Wen, just do what you want!" ”

After speaking, Cheng An got up, bowed to Huang Dawen, and walked out of the reception room.

Huang Dawen was not affected by Cheng An's complaints, but still comforted Cheng An's back: "Xiao An, you have also followed me to handle criminal cases, and you also have some understanding of the situation in prison. When you're inside, read two more sentences to yourself: 'I've learned the turtle method recently, and when I have to shrink my head, shrink my head'. The inside is different from the outside, if you want to live a better life, don't be strong, otherwise you will be asking for hardship. This is also our master-apprentice, and I will give you one last piece of advice. ”

……

Since Jiang Zhen has already pleaded guilty, all the arrested Hong Xing Dadi have also pleaded guilty and fought for a commutation under the persuasion of Huang Dawen.

This time, there were forty or fifty people arrested by Hong Xing, and Huang Dawen could be regarded as taking over a big business, so he couldn't keep busy at all. Some of the work of meeting with the parties had to be handed over to an assistant like Li Songyun to complete.

Trial is a rigorous legal work, and even if a party admits guilt and accepts punishment, some necessary legal steps are indispensable. "Go through the procedures in a down-to-earth manner and go through the motions seriously" This is the truth of "procedural justice" most of the time.

Therefore, until the shocking news that Jiang Zhen had abandoned bail and absconded came out, none of the sentencing work of Hong Xing Dadi was completed, and they were still crowded in Victoria Prison waiting for the result of Huang Dawen's bargaining with the government lawyer (prosecutor).
