When Wang Xiaohu arrived, Lu Ming was studying Gui Linghua's case with his two apprentices.
Park Soo-na also sat aside, listening curiously.
"Xiaohu, are you okay?" Lu Ming saw that Wang Xiaohu looked depressed.
"It's okay, I just want to come and sit with you, Brother Lu."
Lu Ming smiled and said, "Okay, then you sit here and listen too!"
It can be seen that Wang Xiaohu is not happy as a prosecutor. He comes from a poor family and is extremely frugal. He cannot get along with other prosecutors.
"Xiao Jia, what you said just now was very good, keep going!" Lu Ming said with a smile.
"Yes." Tie Xiaojia's smile became even sweeter when praised by his master.
"Master, stipulating that a widow cannot remarry or have an affair as a condition for inheritance is equivalent to restricting the spouse's freedom to marry and fall in love after death. This violates the Imperial Civil Rights Act. We can apply to the court to invalidate the will. As the only first-line heir, Miss Katsura Linghua can get all of her husband's estate."
Lu Ming nodded and looked at Tong Xiao'e, "You say!"
Tong Xiao'e's face flushed, her eyes looking at the table, "Lord... Lord's Law..."
Lu Ming nodded slightly: "Yes, the legal system of Yingzhou Kingdom is different from ours. Its feudal lord law gives local feudal lords great legislative power. In Yingzhou, Kato Sanlu's will is valid."
“But Kato Sanlu has been living in the East China Sea, and his property is also in the East China Sea. Although he is a citizen of Yingzhou, he must abide by the laws of our East China Sea... Right, Master?” Tie Xiaojia hesitated when he said the latter part.
At this time, the phone rang urgently.
The person who called was Lao Gui, who had been helping Lu Ming investigate Kato Sanlu's property situation these two days. He found that all the money in his bank account had been transferred to banks in Japan, and even stocks and bonds had been sold to a Kato family company in Japan.
Moreover, Kato Sanryu's real estate is also listed for sale.
After hanging up the phone, Lu Ming shook his head. The Baoyin Bank case was too important to him, so he failed to pay attention to Gui Linghua's inheritance dispute at the first time. He did not apply for a court injunction to freeze the properties. He did not know whether the other party had received the letter, but transferred all the properties back to his home country.
"What a bunch of bad guys!" Tie Xiaojia's face turned red with anger.
Lu Ming deliberately let them all hear what was said on the phone.
Lu Ming smiled and said, "In the afternoon, Lao Gui will send me a list of the people and companies involved in handling these inheritances. Senior disciple, please help me write a complaint, name all these people as defendants, and request the court to freeze the transferred assets."
Then he looked at Tie Xiaojia and said, "After your senior sister finishes writing, you and her will go to the court and submit the complaint."
Trainee lawyers are not allowed to conduct prosecution-defense trials independently, but they are allowed to do minor tasks such as filing petitions, granting bail, etc.
Tie Xiaojia and Tong Xiaoe were stunned. Tie Xiaojia couldn't hide his excitement and answered loudly: "Yes, Master!"
Tong Xiao'e was worried. Would the judge support such an excessive request to freeze the property in Japan? How should she write the complaint to convince the judge
For a moment, I felt so anxious that I wanted to cry.
Over there, Lu Ming waved to Wang Xiaohu, "Xiaohu, come here, let's chat for a while!"
…
Quiet tea room.
Admiring the green grass outside the French window, Lu Ming smiled at Wang Xiaohu: "Feeling upset? What's the matter?"
Wang Xiaohu sighed: "Brother, it's nothing. I went back to my hometown, so I felt a little depressed. I thought I'd come to your place and sit down. I hope I can feel better. I hope I didn't interfere with your work."
Lu Ming waved his hand: "We are all busy here. Where is your hometown, Wangdian?"
Wang Xiaohu nodded.
Lu Ming smiled: "What's wrong? What happened back home? Do you need me to sue you? It's free."
Wang Xiaohu smiled bitterly, "It would be great if we could solve it through a lawsuit!" Hesitating for a moment, he said, "Since I was very young, in the autumn, I often saw villagers coming back from fishing who were injured. I also grew up hearing stories about how hateful the Japanese ghosts were."
"It's autumn again. I went home to see my parents. But I saw fellow villagers who were beaten again. This year the injuries were quite serious. I heard that many Japanese ghosts came this year and did not allow our ship to approach."
"Fishermen in the Wangdian area often clash with fishermen from Japan?" Lu Ming gradually understood and looked at the map of the empire on the side.
The continents and coastal islands in this world are completely different from those in his previous life. The archipelagos are all near the continent, and the open sea cannot be explored.
The westernmost area of the Dongying Islands is only about a hundred nautical miles away from the coastline of Beiguan. The nautical miles in this world are about the same as kilometers.
Generally speaking, the fishermen from Beiguan and the fishermen from Japan use the center line as the boundary and do not interfere with each other.
But it seems that there are still many disputes.
Over there, Wang Xiaohu nodded, "Yes, in autumn, the fish are most abundant near Pearl Island. We and the Japanese fishermen will go there to fish. No one dares to go alone. They all go in groups. If you are alone, they will be knocked over and your body will not be found! The Japanese boats don't dare to come alone either, but this year, they seem to be particularly well prepared, and there are suddenly more boats."
Lu Ming was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood why Qing Lao wanted to run for the 49th constituency himself.
Regardless of right or wrong, the fishermen in the Wangdian area must hate the Japanese very much.
As for the case in which he was involved in prosecuting the Japanese citizen Kato Masakazu, as long as he had not lost the case, he would definitely be popular in the 49th constituency.
He frowned again, "Pearl Island is a group of small reefs of similar size, right? It's the Pearl Island that the Duke of the High Seas gave to many people five hundred years ago?"
Wang Xiaohu nodded: "Yes, it's that area, almost near the midline. In autumn, a large number of autumn fish go there to spawn, so once the net is cast, the fish are densely packed..."
Lu Ming waved his hand: "In autumn, fishing should be banned in that sea area. Otherwise, wouldn't that be exhausting the fish?"
Wang Xiaohu smiled bitterly: "Of course it's good to ban fishing. When the autumn fish mature, they will swim back to our coast. This is because we are in the bay and there are many shallow sea areas. Autumn fish are shallow sea fish."
Lu Ming nodded.
Seeing Wang Xiaohu's worried look, Lu Ming pondered for a moment, "When I have some progress in the lawsuit I'm handling, I'll go to Wang's store and see if I can help."
Wang Xiaohu was stunned for a moment, then said in surprise: "Really?" Although it was unbelievable, from the first day he met his idol to today, his idol has never acted without a purpose!
Lu Ming smiled and said, "Okay, just go back to work and don't worry about your hometown all day. It's useless to worry!"
"Okay, I got it!" Wang Xiaohu immediately became energetic and nodded repeatedly.
"Oh, it's almost time for lunch. Let's eat before leaving!" Lu Ming looked at the clock on the wall.
"Forget it. My stomach has never seen the world. It's not a rich stomach, so I can't handle the good things here." Wang Xiaohu stuck out his tongue. The last time he ate here, the dishes were too fine. Not only did he not feel full, but he also had diarrhea and vomiting when he got home, and he was in trouble for several days.
Lu Ming smiled and watched him leave. Park Soo-na followed him and walked him out the porch.
