The last time he was betrayed by Zhou Anqiang, Fu Hua did not ask Huang Yiming to take any retaliatory measures against Zhou Anqiang, because he was considered a big victory at that time, and he returned to China safely, so he didn't think much about Zhou Anqiang and Chu Gechen Take revenge. He was not a person who was willing to be troublesome. After returning to China, he didn't discuss with Huang Yiming again whether to take any action against Zhou Anqiang in the follow-up of the incident.
But the situation is different now. He thought the incident had been revealed, but Chu Gechen was always thinking of him in Nianzizai, and this time he even dug a trap for him to wait for him to jump in. This forced Fu Hua to save himself. Obviously, he wants to save himself and follow the formal procedures. Chu Gechen’s trap is designed for him in accordance with the formal legal procedures. If he follows the formal legal procedures, in addition to making himself deeper in the quagmire , There is no way to really save him.
If you want to save yourself, you have to jump out of the formal procedures to find a way, and Fu Hua's brain moved to Chu Gechen. Chu Gechen is the core of the whole problem. It was he who exposed his suspected theft of military secrets to the Attorney's Office in the Western District of New York. The relevant evidence was also provided by Chu Gechen to the prosecutors in the Western District of New York. If Chu Gechen can explain by himself that these evidences are forged, then the entire case must be withdrawn entirely.
However, it is not an easy task to achieve this. It depends on how much influence Huang Yiming has on the New York side. From Fu Hua's personal feelings, Huang Yiming must have a lot of influence here. Fu Hua has seen some information introduced by some Chinese gang organizations in the United States. The Chinese have always had a strong influence here in New York.
In the late Qing Dynasty, a large number of Chinese in the United States donated money and materials to the motherland, and some returned to join the army to help the motherland fight against the Japanese invaders. At that time, Chinese organizations had a certain influence in the United States. This influence has continued to the present, and with the development of the motherland's economy, this influence tends to be strengthened.
Huang Yiming arranged for Zhou Anqiang to assist him in dealing with Chu Gechen because of his confidence that he could control the situation in Los Angeles. Moreover, in the reports of some major newspapers such as the Time Weekly, the Wall Street Journal, the Chinese organization is also one of the leaders of the underground society in the United States. And these organizations also have a very significant feature, that is, they love the motherland in particular.
These are the basis for Fu Hua's belief that Huang Yiming can help him solve Chu Gechen's problem. Of course, the premise is that he has to contact Huang Yiming. You can't talk about things like this over the phone, but you need to talk to Wang An face to face.
Before that, Fu Hua felt that he couldn't just sit at home like this without any movement. That would be because of the attention of the Western District Prosecutor's Office. He must do some self-help actions to disturb the sight of the Western District Attorney's Office.
Fu Hua then met with the lawyer hired by the consulate. The lawyer's surname was Li, who was in his forties and spoke Cantonese Mandarin. He was a descendant of Chinese descent from Guangdong in the early days of Nanyang. He is a high-achieving student who graduated from Harvard Law School and has a great influence in the New York Chinese circle. Hearing that Fu Hua wanted to discuss the case with him, he made an appointment with him to come over.
"Lawyer Li, I guess you know about this case now. How sure do you think I can win this case?"
"This can only be difficult to say. As far as I saw, the evidence provided by the other party is ostensibly valid. Moreover, this case involves military secrets. There will be many unfavorable factors in the process, so I don't have it in my mind now. I am confident to tell you what the outcome of this case will be."
"What you said are all unfavorable factors for me," Fu Hua said with a wry smile and looked at Lawyer Li. "Is there nothing in my favor?"
"The only thing that can be regarded as beneficial to you is the hostess of this house. Jessica's father is one of the big money holders of the political party to which the attorney general of the Western District belongs. The attorney general must give him some face. If he becomes unhappy and turns to support the opposing party, this is something he cannot afford."
This surprised Fu Hua a bit: "The Yankees also talk about this kind of favor?"
There are often some elites in China who will talk about how the United States is good, and everything is done in accordance with the rules. It seems that there is no back door among Americans. Fu Hua himself also thinks that his bail was done in accordance with formal procedures. . I heard that Lawyer Li said today, but it turns out that he was released on bail only after going through the back door.
Lawyer Li laughed: "You may have too many poisons in China. Is there anything in this world that does not say that favors are strictly enforced in accordance with the rules? But I prefer to treat such favors as an exchange of benefits. You can give him the benefits he needs in exchange, and of course you can get what you want."
"It seems that Jessica's father is not just a businessman?"
"Of course, big businessmen like Jessica's father in the United States are related to some parties in one way or another. In the United States, politics is actually a commodity, and some large consortia actually The above are all hiring lobby groups to lobby the parliament or the government for their own interests in order to obtain the policies they want."
Fu Hua smiled and said: "That's too naive. I really want to thank Jessica when I look back. It seems that without her coming out to guarantee me this time, I'm now in jail."
"You should really thank her for this. If you didn't find her one day, we will need to meet in the prison interview room now."
Fu Hua smiled and said, "Well, let's not talk about these things. Let's talk about how to solve this case. Attorney Li, do you see any loopholes in this case?"
"The loopholes are actually not without them," said Attorney Li. "In my opinion, when the prosecutor arrested you, there were still some omissions. Just like you are a Chinese, according to the usual practice, they are When you read Brenda’s rules, you should read it to you in Chinese. If the police officer who arrested you does not speak Chinese, then he needs to hire a special Chinese translator for you. Because according to the spirit of American law, they are You need to fully understand what they mean, otherwise it will be a defect."
Fu Hua generally understood what Lawyer Li meant, which meant that when the police arrested him, the procedure was flawed: "Lawyer Li, can you use this to help me get rid of the crime?"
Attorney Li came again and it’s hard to say: "The United States is the jury system. This procedural flaw will only be found innocent when the jury considers that it has substantially affected the fairness of the case. Yes. There are pros and cons of this situation. And the United States is a country with case law, and I can’t confirm with you how the jury will decide on this situation.”
Regarding the case, Fu Hua has relevant regulations. China is a civil law system, and there are clear legal provisions for crime and non-crime. The United Kingdom and the United States belong to the common law system, and their determination of crime and non-criminal is based on whether there are previous relevant cases. Therefore, it is reasonable for Lawyer Li to say that he did not have an affirmative answer.
In essence, Fu Hua didn't pin his hopes on the flaws in this procedure. What he wanted was to get rid of crimes outside the procedure. However, the method he wants to adopt requires formal procedures as a cover: "Attorney Li, we seem to have no other way now. Please start to defend me from the perspective of procedural flaws."
"Well, it looks like this is what it is now."
"By the way, you help me inform Counselor Wang that I have something to say to him face to face. Let him come."
"Okay, I will inform you."
Attorney Li was sent away, Fu Hua just sat down, his mobile phone rang, and the number showed Tangman's New York number given to him by Tang Yan, although Fu Hua was looking forward to seeing Tangman this time before coming to New York. Yes, they haven't seen each other for a few years. But now that this kind of thing happened, Fu Hua really didn't want to answer the call. He didn't want Thomman to worry about his situation. So he has been in New York for so long and didn't take the initiative to call Tomman.
But when Tom Man called, Fu Hua had to answer it, so he answered something: "Xiao Man, it's been a long time since I saw you. Are you okay?"
"I'm fine," Tomman asked, "Brother Fu, where are you in New York now?"
"I live in a friend's house here. Is it your brother who told you about my coming to New York?" Fu Hua said with a smile, "Originally, I wanted to contact you as soon as I arrived in New York, but it happened. Some things have tripped me up. Be patient, and I will meet you when I finish dealing with the matter at hand. In other words, I am really eager to see how much you have changed in the past few years."
Tomman smiled bitterly and said, "What's holding you up? Did you get caught by the Yankees?"
"You know," Fu Hua said with an awkward smile, "I didn't tell you the truth, because I don't want you to worry about me. Don't worry, I can solve this matter."
"Stealing military secrets is a very serious crime. What can you do to solve it? Where are you now? I want to meet with you to find out about your situation and see what your situation is. You just said so softly that you can rest assured that I can solve it, but there is no way to make me truly relieved."
