In the "conference room" of Jinshun Hotel, most prosecutors were still dreaming.
I never thought that in just one class, the situation would turn out like this.
Looking at the calm expressions of Prosecutor Cheng and Lawyer Lu, it was obvious that everything was planned by the two of them, and everyone was kept in the dark.
When scientific experiments confirmed that the murder photo was real, it was almost inevitable that Kato Masaichi would be convicted.
Not to mention, the giant Shan Jingfan had already been technically knocked out by Lawyer Lu.
"We can't relax yet. We have to be on guard against them using some evil tricks in the end." Cheng Lingyu looked serious.
Then he looked at Lu Ming: "I have applied to the police for personal protection for you."
Indeed, according to Kato's way of doing things, he had to be on guard against the other party being desperate and eventually dragging a few others down with him.
“No need…” Lu Ming was stunned, touched the hidden small pistol, and thought about Sun Luting. It shouldn’t be a big deal. If it doesn’t work, he can just take the big black and the second black.
"Of course! You have to listen to me on this matter!" Cheng Lingyu made a gesture, decisive.
Cheng Lingyu's words poured cold water on the prosecutors who were originally rubbing their hands in excitement. Yes, now is not the time to celebrate.
At this moment, the phone on the table next to me rang rapidly.
A staff member picked up the phone, then walked over to Cheng Lingyu and whispered, "Prosecutor Cheng, your call is from the Supreme Procuratorate!"
Cheng Lingyu frowned slightly and snorted, "Whoever dares to intercede, don't blame me for turning hostile!"
He stood up and walked over to answer the phone, and suddenly asked in surprise: "What?!"
It seemed like someone said something again.
"Has it been confirmed? Have you seen the body?!"
After hearing the clear answer, Cheng Lingyu turned around, a little absent-minded, and after a while, he suddenly looked up, "Kato Shoichi committed suicide, and it is indeed true..."
Everyone was stunned, not knowing how to react for a moment.
Lu Ming was also slightly startled, and then he understood, what kind of family is the Kato family? If there is really a child in the family who is a psychopathic serial killer, and is convicted of killing multiple boys in Donghai and sentenced to death, then it will be the biggest stain in the history of the entire family, which is a shame that no patriarch wants to bear.
Especially for psychopathy, pedophilia, child abuse, etc., there has long been a saying among the people that these are hereditary. If convicted, the Kato family will no longer be proud of their bloodline, and may even be considered a perverted family. This is difficult for any member of the Kato family to accept.
Therefore, the family's top brass should have been instructed that if the case was truly beyond redemption, Kato Shoichi should be ordered to commit suicide.
No wonder Shan Jingfan suddenly fell silent at the end of the trial. It seemed that he had already known the worst option.
"It seems that the trial of this case has to be suspended!" Cheng Lingyu shook his head, looking somewhat unwilling. It should have been a resounding victory, but in the end, it ended up like this.
"Prosecutor Cheng, actually, we have already won. That villain got what he deserved, didn't he?" Lu Ming smiled. "Prosecutor Cheng, I told you, if we win this case, I will treat you to a meal!"
"Yes, Lawyer Lu is right!" Cheng Lingyu cheered up, looked at everyone present, and said with a smile: "This is something worth celebrating! After we deal with the aftermath, we will ask Lawyer Lu to treat us to a seafood buffet at the Wendebao Club. Lawyer Lu, is that okay?!"
Lu Ming smiled and said, "It's okay for everyone to come and eat every day!"
Cheng Lingyu laughed: "This is good, I finally met a very generous friend, I will have a place to eat for free in the future!"
When everyone saw Cheng Lingyu was happy, they began to applaud.
Wang Xiaohu, looking at Lu Ming, who was sitting next to Chief Cheng as usual, clapped his hands until his palms turned red, and his heart was filled with excitement.
My idol never disappoints me and it seems like we have become partners on an equal footing with Chief Cheng.
All of this was achieved through strength. How bad was Chief Cheng's attitude towards Lawyer Lu? It can be said that he was full of prejudice. But Lawyer Lu never got angry or complained, but just worked silently.
Until now, he is sitting next to Chief Cheng, who would not be convinced
This is what is most admirable!
And it is conceivable that after this case, the idol will become famous and will definitely become a hot-selling lawyer in Beiguan and even Donghai.
…
"Extra Edition, Extra Edition!" Newsboys all over the streets were announcing the death of the devil Kato Shoichi.
Although the court failed to declare him guilty, almost all Chinese newspapers still defined him as a person who had committed heinous crimes and committed suicide out of fear of punishment.
"Lawyer Lu is a powerful figure in Beiguan! He is the world's number one lawyer!" The newsboy shouted with his face flushed with excitement.
Many of today’s newspapers also have scary headlines, especially tabloids, which use the most exaggerated titles.
Pedestrians walking on the street would stop from time to time to buy newspapers from the newsboys.
In private room 88 of the Windbo Club, I looked out the window at the newsboys running along the bus tracks below.
I seemed to hear the newsboy shouting something.
Lu Ming smiled bitterly. He had been hearing this kind of shouting these days.
It's still a bit high-profile.
But he vaguely felt that even if the mastermind behind the scenes knew his whereabouts now and sent people from the north, he might not be able to touch him in the north gate.
It seems that Cheng Lingyu is about to be promoted to Deputy Director of the Supreme Procuratorate.
The Supreme Prosecutor's Office, with one chief and three deputy chiefs, is the commander-in-chief of all the prosecutors in the East China Sea.
It seems that among the senior officials who can play a decisive role in personnel changes in the Supreme Prosecutor's Office, some still hate Kato Masakazu very much.
However, Cheng Lingyu did have enough experience. Senior Director of Public Prosecutions was the highest level rank in the prosecutorial hierarchy. These senior directors of public prosecutions were originally strong contenders for the position of chief of the Supreme Procuratorate.
I also remembered that yesterday, Cheng Lingyu met with me and strongly invited me to join the Supreme Procuratorate.
Alternatively, he could first join the Beiguan Procuratorate Branch. He could help him directly obtain the position of deputy director of prosecution. The main reason was that he was too young. After working there for a few years, the positions of chief prosecutor and senior chief prosecutor would be easily achieved.
He also said that since you don't need any lawyer's money, being a lawyer would be a waste of your talent.
I declined for now. Being a prosecutor is too restrictive. Being a lawyer is better. Besides, I have other plans.
But I also promised him that if I become a defense lawyer in the future, I will try not to take criminal cases unless I believe the client is innocent.
Cheng Lingyu smiled helplessly at the time: "You mean, if we take any case you want, we should just cancel the prosecution? Otherwise, if you win, it's fine, but if you lose, we will be wrongly accusing a good person? Is it a bigger crime? Are you trying to fool me?"
Thinking about the conversation at that time, Lu Ming couldn't help but smile. Cheng Jian, such a serious man, even made a joke about him.
"Lawyer Lu, I'm so ashamed. Fortunately, I handed the case over to you!" The one who walked to Lu Ming's side was Wei Baozeng.
Today, Councillors Liu Laocai, Wen Liangyu and Meng Dezhu are here to celebrate for Lu Ming, but Wei Baozeng received the letter and came here together with Meng Dezhu.
In the past, Wei Baozeng naturally looked down on this circle.
Now, he is indeed filled with gratitude in his heart. Fortunately, he made a wise choice at that time. Now he realizes how lucky it is for his family to have Lawyer Lu recommend himself.
Although economic cases and criminal cases are different and lawyers have their own specialties, it seems that this Lu lawyer is quite strong in every field.
"Brother Qianxing, your followers are so shabby driving three-wheeled motorcycles!" Liu Laocai walked over with a big laugh.
Lu Ming rubbed his nose helplessly.
Although Kato Masakazu was dead, at Cheng Lingyu's strong request, the police still provided him with 24-hour protection.
The one leading the team today is Sha Dahai.
He was transferred to the patrol department, which was similar to the public security brigade in his previous life, right
Although it has not been made clear yet, basically, he will be promoted to the head of the patrol department.
Probably because he received very high comments from the prosecutor in this case.
His comments were given to him to write by Cheng Lingyu.
I don't have any opinion about him for now. I don't have any bad feelings towards him, but I can't say I have a good impression of him either.
But he tried his best to stay by my side, and his hard work is worthy of me writing a good review for him.
I am not a straightforward person who is dissatisfied with everything. I will naturally treat those who try their best to be close to me well as long as it is not a matter of principle.
Of course, his promotion mainly came from his usual management in the bureau, but this comment was a very good catalyst, making his promotion a natural process.
This sea of sand is now more powerful, and it often even brings people with it to protect itself.
It's just that the patrol department's best means of transportation are two sidecar motorcycles, which Liu Laocai calls "three-wheeled vehicles". Now one of them is assigned to the police officer who protects them.
Hearing what Liu Laocai said, Lu Ming smiled. Just as he was about to speak, Liu Laocai said, "How about this, I have a car at home. It used to be driven by Xiao Sanzi. It's useless now. Let them use it first. When you are fine here, I will donate it to the police force."
Lu Ming was speechless. Ever since Old Liu found out that his two sons wished he would go to jail, he seemed to have let go of everything. He felt that even if he spent all his money, he could still make it back. Now that he had all his money, he didn't know if he could still make it back.
Recently, I have been doing charity work everywhere and even planning to set up an orphanage. It seems as if I am determined to spend all the money I earn in this life before I die.
However, I heard that he has been taking Deng Hongmei to see a doctor frequently recently, probably because he hopes to have another child.
"Mr. Liu, count me in as one of your orphanage, we'll split it in half." Lu Ming said with a smile. The amount was not large, so there was no need to take out a loan. Anyway, recently whenever he did something, like investing, the first thing that came to his mind was whether he could get a loan to do it.
Liu Laocai smiled and said, "Okay, in that case, my original idea won't work, and the scale will have to be at least doubled."
Lu Ming was stunned for a moment and was speechless. Of course, helping orphans is a good thing, and he doesn't feel bad about spending any money. He just thinks that Old Liu is a bit like a living Bodhisattva.
Or maybe, because Deng Hongmei's pregnancy was not going well, doing good deeds was a bit of a way to seek peace of mind.
"Qianxing, everyone is waiting for you!" Wen Liangyu pushed the door open with a smile.
It's very lively outside, and here is an elegant little room with a window to enjoy the scenery.
"I know you don't like crowds, but you are the protagonist today and you can't be absent. Come on!" Wen Liangyu smiled and walked over to hold Lu Ming's arm.
Lu Ming had no choice but to follow him out. He turned to Wei Baozeng and said, "Brother Baozeng, the other party has been dragging on with your case. They want to drag us to death. I will think of a solution in the next two days."
Wei Baozeng nodded.
In the spacious hall outside, as soon as Lu Ming appeared, warm applause broke out.
There were many male and female guests, and Lu Ming didn't know who they were. Now he was led by Wen Liangyu to introduce them one by one.
An old man with a goatee gave Lu Ming a thumbs-up and said, "Young hero, young hero!"
Lu Ming felt helpless. If the next one gave him one of the "Top Ten Outstanding Young People in Beiguan", then all this would definitely be his dream.
…
Walking down the steps of the Wenderbao Club surrounded by a large group of people, Lu Ming felt a little dizzy from the noise. There were compliments everywhere, and he couldn't refuse the hospitality, so he drank a few glasses.
Just as they got into the car, Sha Dahai and two patrolmen in black uniforms came over. They had just had a seafood buffet downstairs, and they all felt that this job was like heaven. They didn't expect that someone would upgrade their weapons and send them a car, a high-end car at that.
"Ah, take a rest, take a rest!" Seeing Lu Ming leaning on the seat a little tired, Sha Dahai didn't dare to say anything more. He waved his hand, took two police officers, and went to the car behind.
