Montenegro Concession Court.
The heated debate between the plaintiff and the defendant on the Gao Dali case came to an end, and the court announced a temporary adjournment.
Continue in ten minutes.
It was obvious that Guanglifa was gradually losing the upper hand, and its lawyers were somewhat dejected.
In the audience gallery, Lu Ming sat in an inconspicuous corner. He had attended two classes in a row.
This case is still of practical significance in the Northern Territory. I hope there will be a result before the big event happens.
A patrolling bailiff walked past Lu Ming in the aisle and quickly handed him a note.
Lu Ming was helpless. The intelligence department led by Meng Tieying now had its tentacles everywhere, but he did not want a society where secret police were rampant in every walk of life.
However, such a secret service is very beneficial for me to control the overall situation. I just hope that it won't cause too much pain when it is not needed in the future.
After unfolding the note and reading it, Lu Ming frowned and stood up.
…
In room 705 of the Red Rose Hotel, the detective had not left when Lu Ming arrived.
The two detectives from the Central District Police Station were of high status. One was a deputy chief inspector, or deputy director, and the other was a senior inspector. Naturally, they were both Westerners.
The two men came to re-record Becky's statement. They had to record the statement of a Western female croupier in the Red Rose Hotel, who was the mistress of some extremely powerful person. The Central African inspectors and detectives of the Central Police Station were not able to handle such a task, so the deputy chief inspector and the senior inspector had to come in person.
Hovers was also nearby. When he saw Lu Ming coming in, he stepped forward and said apologetically, "I called you but couldn't find you. I called a lawyer, but he couldn't get here as quickly as you did." At this point, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. The spy chief is the spy chief, and he knew exactly what was going on here.
Lu Ming smiled at him, walked over and sat next to Becky, and asked Becky: "Did you say anything?"
Becky shook her head slightly: "I'm waiting for the lawyer."
"Are you Mr. Zhang?" The leader of the two Western detectives was tall and burly, looking like a bear. He took out his police officer ID and showed it to Lu Ming. He was the deputy director of the Central District Police Station, named Anthony Henry.
Lu Ming nodded. "Inspector Henry, didn't Becky and I give our confessions right away?"
Henry said in a serious tone, "There are some problems with the confession. Mr. Zhang, you came at the right time. After we record Miss Becky's confession, you have to go back with us to assist in the investigation, because we now suspect that Mr. Bidour was beaten to death. The first suspect was instructed by you."
Before Lu Ming could speak, Hovers said anxiously, "Do you have any evidence? Without evidence, you can't arrest anyone!"
Lu Ming smiled and waved his hands at him. These words were meaningless. However, Hovers was obviously worried that he might misunderstand and think that this was a trap set to catch him.
Henry said coldly: “We are based on reasonable suspicion, so we have the right to ask Mr. Zhang to go back with us to assist in the investigation.”
Hovers was stunned for a moment and said, "That's not possible. Wait for the lawyer to come!"
Becky frowned and said, "Inspector Henry, why didn't you tell me to inform Mr. Zhang to go to your police station to assist in the investigation? Is this considered a sting operation?"
Lu Ming was stunned for a moment, laughing secretly in his heart. This little beauty was actually very powerful. Although she never dared to say much in front of him and was always extremely docile, she had seen all kinds of storms and witnessed a lot of upper-class activities. She had the awareness of being a taxpayer towards the police.
Her way of thinking is actually not much different from that of her previous life.
I just don't understand the law, and I don't know where I heard the term "fishing enforcement" from, so I use it recklessly.
"Ms. Becky, we are not stinging you!" Henry was a little helpless, but he had to explain patiently. Although he had a stern face towards Lu Ming, he was obviously much softer in front of the sexy beauty Becky.
Becky must have just had her nails done. The light blue, dreamy, transparent, long, dazzling manicure was very eye-catching. In addition, the goose yellow pure cotton miniskirt tightly wrapped her hot body. The big metal earrings on her white earlobes, the skull ornaments between her snow-white collarbones, and the cool makeup were full of wildness. But under the miniskirt, the slender legs tightly wrapped in long blue and white cotton socks added a kind of childish beauty. The combination of the two was so wonderful that it could tempt all men to commit a crime at all costs.
Lu Ming glanced at her and thought that everyone said Audrey was the first lady of Shengjing and the most beautiful woman in Shengjing. In fact, this title should be more appropriate for Becky, but her status and position were also a bonus, so there was nothing he could do about it.
From the perspective of Western aesthetics, these are all top beauties slightly inferior to Pamela, and Becky has her own charm.
In fact, much of Mo Ming's favorable impression of Hovers also came from Becky.
Who asked him to give himself such a good gift
Thinking about it, Lu Ming couldn't help but feel helpless. Maybe it was because of Commissioner Zhang's identity. It seemed that his moral standards were not as high as "General Lu". But it was also because he had been exposed to the dark side too much. Many things would be subtly affected by him. As Commissioner Zhang, he was more indulgent.
Lu Ming smiled at Henry as he was lost in thought. "Inspector Henry, I actually have another identity. I am the plenipotentiary representative of the Black Mountain Special Administrative Region stationed in Shengjing, which is equivalent to an envoy. In the four provinces of the Northern Territory, I have diplomatic immunity."
Inspector Henry frowned slightly. "The Black Mountain Special District also belongs to the Kingdom of Griffinni. We are all Griffinni people. It would be a stretch to call us diplomats."
Lu Ming smiled and said, "Then I will explain it to you. As you think, the confederations, which belong to the Greifani Empire, originally had no diplomatic rights. But thirty-three years ago, according to the "Law on Negotiations among Confederations" promulgated by the Imperial Parliament, the confederations began to have diplomatic departments and diplomatic personnel. In foreign lands, diplomats also have certain immunity rights. Until the civil unrest in my Greifani Kingdom the year before last, there were certain rules for exchanges between confederations, and diplomats officially appeared, basically following the Empire's "Diplomatic Law". Although this law was only in name only before, it is also a diplomatic negotiation principle recognized by all confederations."
I always feel that this empire is now more like the United Nations from a certain perspective. Some of the previous imperial laws have become treaties of common values recognized by all countries in the United Nations.
After a pause, Lu Ming continued, "As for me, as an envoy, if you trace the origin, I do belong to the Kingdom of Greifanni. But Inspector Henry, Shengjing is not the territory of the Kingdom of Greifanni, and you are not an official member of the Kingdom of Greifanni. The Shengjing Municipal Council can be regarded as an institution jointly entrusted by the four provinces of the Northern Territory to manage Shengjing. In the final analysis, you are employees of the four provinces of the Northern Territory, so of course you and I belong to different confederations. If you want to summon me for a case, I have the status of a diplomat and have the power to refuse your summons. But I promise you that when I have time, I will go to your police station to give a new statement."
Looking at Henry, he smiled and said, "Of course, if you think I'm talking nonsense, you can take me away by force, but my people probably won't agree. So, if a conflict breaks out and an unfortunate incident occurs, I don't think the final responsibility will be mine."
The door of Room 705 had been open the whole time. Outside the room, three or four rows of plainclothes agents wearing peaked caps were standing. They all had submachine guns hanging around their necks, with the black muzzles of their guns pointed upwards. It looked like a massive crowd, with at least thirty or forty people.
Of course, if a gunfight really breaks out, this kind of standing position will be shot down.
But they know that you dare not resist, and no one will dare to open fire. They are just standing here to scare you.
Inspector Henry and his companions behind him all looked unhappy.
Even Hovers' eyelids were twitching rapidly. As an entertainment tycoon who owned casinos and nightclubs, he naturally had a powerful organization of gunmen under him. However, their spirit was obviously different from that of real soldiers. They were just a collection of pure killing machines, gangster gunmen, and at most a group of guerrillas.
"Ms. Becky is also tired and wants to rest early. Two inspectors, please go ahead! As for the statements of our two witnesses, the first record shall prevail. If you suspect that we have committed perjury or even participated in the case, then next time you come, just lead a team to arrest us! However, you will be responsible for any disputes that may arise!" Lu Ming stretched out his hand and made a gesture to invite them to leave.
Inspector Henry's expression changed, and he stood up with a smile, "Okay, then we'll take our leave first. I apologize for the inconvenience caused to you and Miss Becky!"
He made a gesture and led his detectives out.
Lu Ming smiled. This guy is a talented person who can bend and stretch.
Hovers scratched his Mediterranean bald head and said with a wry smile: "Dear Zhang, you guys chat. If anything happens, call me!"
Lu Ming nodded. When he saw him about to leave, he thought for a moment and said, "Old Huo, during this period of time, bring your people back and stop causing trouble! I'm talking about the armed personnel."
Hovers was startled again, nodded, "Okay." He walked out while thinking.
Becky wanted to stand up and see him off, but her hand was held back.
Lu Ming looked at her exquisite and long nails, which were transparent and beautiful, and smiled, "So beautiful."
Becky's long and slender hands gently grasped it, drawing an extremely tempting arc, and whispered: "Sir, do you like this?"
Lu Ming coughed. The light scratching with long nails was a great enjoyment. Not to mention, where was Becky scratching? Where was she holding? Just thinking about it made my heart warm.
"Look, sir..." Becky took a thin piece of white paper and sandwiched it between the pair of slender legs wrapped in long blue and white cotton socks.
Then Becky jumped lightly a few times.
Her legs were in perfect shape, with no gap at all between them; even when she jumped, the white paper didn't move at all.
"Sir, for tonight..." Becky lowered her head and glanced at Lu Ming's expression.
Lu Ming rubbed his nose and understood what she meant. He felt that he despised her for not having real sex with her, so he could use her super beautiful legs to enjoy himself.
My body was slightly hot, looking at this little beauty, her long legs tightly wrapped in blue and white long cotton socks, that kind of special stimulation...
