Chapter 204
Central.
As the political and commercial center of Hong Kong Island, in addition to countless financial and trade buildings, it is also home to the Supreme Court of Hong Kong Island.
In the open space outside the court, many interview vehicles from TV stations and newspapers have been parked. Although the weather in Hong Kong this year is severely cold and the wind is biting, many newspaper reporters and radio hosts are still wearing thin professional attire and standing on their respective sides. On the roadside, waiting in the cold wind for the big shot who was about to come for trial.
Le Huizhen couldn't help but rub her hands that were almost frozen. According to the news received by their TV station, the police had evidence that last night's riot was planned by Zheng Jirong, director of Huasheng Group. In order to quickly arrest the suspect Convicted, this time he was not even imprisoned in advance, but was taken directly to the court.
All the media that received the news were eager to get the first-hand news.
For Le Huizhen, Zheng Jirong left a very deep impression on her. Ever since his heroic rescue at the Cointreau Hotel, the relationship between the two quickly became familiar, and the more in-depth contact with him, the better Knowing the mysterious temperament in him, Le Huizhen actually didn't believe that he would launch a riot. After all, based on her understanding, although Zheng Jirong sometimes had a bad temper, he was still a good person. Very kind.
Moreover, there was a riot last night? Why didn't they feel it at all?
I just heard that there seemed to be a lot of gunshots in Yau Tsim Mong, but according to her friend who lives there, it was because of a demonstration that took place in their area last night. It was said that the scene was very chaotic. , some people even brought guns, so there were bursts of gunfire.
At this moment, a black motorcade came like a tide from the intersection. She quickly cheered up and took out her makeup mirror to adjust her makeup.
In the blink of an eye, the motorcade stopped on the roads on both sides of the court. Men in black suits walked out one by one. Most of them stood side by side on the roadside, while others stood on both sides of the main entrance of the court. They all looked serious, and their eyes were fixed on the police car that was coming here on the road behind them.
Many sharp-eyed reporters saw the gold coin-sized "华" embroidery on the left chest of these people's suits, and immediately understood that these unsmiling guys were all members of the Huasheng Group.
After a while, the police car stopped on the side of the road, and a group of reporters immediately swarmed around it.
After Zheng Jirong got out of the car and saw the microphones surrounding him, he raised the corners of his mouth and said, "Long time no see, everyone."
"Mr. Zheng, according to the police, you were behind the riots on the streets of Hong Kong last night."
"Wo wo wo wo"
Zheng Jirong shook his finger and interrupted: "Were there any fights or riots last night? How come I didn't know about this? Hong Kong Island was just selected as the safest place in Asia last year. As far as I know, the riots you just mentioned were nothing more than It’s just a simple demonstration movement.”
"But last night, many residents of Yau Tsim Mong reported hearing gunshots."
"I don't know about that. Maybe it's firecrackers, right?"
After Zheng Jirong smiled and said hello, he was about to enter the court with the police clearing the way, when he suddenly heard another familiar voice coming from beside him.
Le Huizhen held up the microphone and asked: "Mr. Zheng, if the result of this judicial trial proves to be a misunderstanding, will you sue the Hong Kong Island Police Department over this?"
"Of course not," Zheng Jirong said seriously: "Everything they do is for the safety of citizens. I can completely understand them, and we in Huasheng have decided to donate 20 million to repair it because of the movement last night. A street shop that was accidentally damaged.”
After finishing speaking, Zheng Jirong looked at the approving glances of the reporters around him and raised the corners of his mouth slightly. When he was about to leave, he saw Le Huizhen, whose face was flushed by the cold wind and shaking. He took off his coat and put it on her body without hesitation. .
He raised his head and expressed concern to the reporters around him: "It's windy outside, please go back to the car first."
He then shouted to his subordinates outside the crowd: "Amiao, order a cup of hot coffee for each of your journalist friends."
"Thank you for your hard work."
After Zheng Jirong greeted them cordially, he entered the court surrounded by police officers.
Behind her, Le Huizhen felt the warmth on her coat and couldn't help but reveal her two rabbit teeth happily. She then warned her colleagues beside her: "Hey, after you drink my coffee and prove Mr. Zheng's innocence later, what can you do?" You should write more nice things about people."
"Tch, you don't have to say it."
"Azhen, are you having an affair with Mr. Zheng? Otherwise, why would he put his clothes on you?"
"Yes, are you envious?"
"Huh? Zhen, are you serious?"
In fact, more than just coffee, Zheng Jirong had even prepared red envelopes for them, and he would give them to them during the coffee delivery.
After all, of the many citizens in Hong Kong Island, only a few of them have actually met him. All of his reputation is known to the citizens from newspapers, and it would not hurt him to win over more reporters from these newspapers.
Inside the court.
Zheng Jirong stood in the dock and waited a little boredly for his lawyers to come over. Contrary to what he originally thought, there was not even a chair in the dock. Not only could he stand and be interrogated, but there were also surveillance cameras standing on both sides. His constable.
Fortunately, due to identity issues, he has never been cuffed, otherwise he would really go crazy.
Master Su and others did not keep him waiting for too long. Ten minutes later, a group of lawyers from his side had all arrived. In addition to Master Su from the club, Master Su, there were also several strangers, and even one The female lawyer has neat short hair and looks very heroic.
After a while, everyone arrived, and the trial that belonged to him, Zheng Jirong, began.
Seeing the police prosecutor starting to list his charges one by one, Zheng Jirong listened very carefully. After all, if these things were discovered by them, it meant that he was not careful enough.
"The various crimes all demonstrate the seriousness of Mr. Zheng Jirong's crimes and their harm to society!"
Judge Guilao nodded after hearing this, turned to Zheng Jirong, who was touching his chin with great interest, and asked: "Defendant Zheng Jirong, do you plead guilty to the crime mentioned by the prosecutor just now?"
Zheng Jirong smiled, waved his hand and said, "I don't recognize it."
"We have ample evidence that last night's riot is inextricably linked to you."
"Wait a minute," Sandy, the short-haired female lawyer on the defendant's side, suddenly stood up and interrupted: "Just now, the prosecutor used words like riot, riot, and even fight to describe what happened last night many times. But according to the information I have, the street blocking incident in Yau Tsim Mong last night was actually just a simple demonstration."
"parade to protest?"
The prosecutor said angrily: "The police took countless bloody photos in Jordan that night. If it was a simple demonstration, how could such a scene happen?"
After saying that, he handed the document in his hand to the judge. After looking through the photos above, the judge frowned and asked Sandy: "He is right. The content in the photos is very bloody. This is not a scene." A simple march."
"This is indeed not a simple demonstration movement, but it was what it was in the beginning." Sandy raised the document in her hand and continued: "A few months ago, there were demonstrations in Jordan, Kwun Tong and other places. I hired a Huaile property company, and they offered property charges to users in the area that were far below the market price. As a result, many shops in the community switched to their company, but..."
She continued: "According to the information I know, this Huaile Property Management Company not only collects property fees, but also takes advantage of its position to collect additional protection fees from residents and merchants, and also sells drugs to residents in the area. pill."
"Objection, Ms. Sandy, what you said has nothing to do with this incident."
"Of course it does matter," Sandy glanced at him and said sternly to the judge: "The various behaviors of this company have aroused the dissatisfaction of the employees of Huasheng, the largest property company on Hong Kong Island. They can't stand the mistreatment of these people. The property industry therefore decided to hold demonstrations at each branch of Huaile Property last night. This is the right given to them by the constitution, so they did not do anything wrong!"
"How do you explain the gunfire?"
The prosecutor asked: "I have dozens of phone recordings here. They are all complaint calls from citizens in various districts last night. They said they heard violent gunfire last night, especially in Kwun Tong. The gunfire occurred even in the fishing port. , could it be that all the property management companies have gone to the fishing port?"
"Didn't I just say that Huaile Property Management collects protection fees from residents and even sells DU products based on their position? This is a company with a high social background!"
Sandy glared at the prosecutor and shouted: "Is it strange that they have guns? As for the fishing port issue in Kwun Tong, that's because Hua Sheng employees discovered the warehouse of Huaile Properties in Kwun Tong. They were not afraid of personal danger and resolutely He resolutely decided to go over and destroy this place, so a fierce conflict broke out between the two sides!"
Then she handed the information in her hand to the judge, "Huasheng employees signed on the company's message board before the demonstration. Here are photos, as well as photos of a large number of pills and drugs found by Huasheng employees at the fishing port. .”
After Sandy handed over the information, she shrugged to the prosecutor and said, "You police officers are really negligent in their duties. The drug in the photo is not less than a few hundred kilograms, but you simply thought it was a fishing port. You really deserve this." Thank you to the thugs in your mouth, without them, the harm of these things getting out will be great."
"you!!!"
The police prosecutor's face turned red with anger. He pointed at Sandy and returned to his seat to look through the information in his hand again.
At this time, after reading the information in his hand, the judge banged the gavel and said: "Based on the current information and evidence, it can be shown that the harassment that occurred in various districts on Hong Kong Island last night was a demonstration movement of Huasheng employees. According to the Constitution, I am entitled to Right, I acquit all employees of Huasheng Company."
After watching the bickering between the two gangs, Zheng Jirong in the dock touched his chin and secretly sighed that this girl is really capable.
Of course, this must be attributed to him having arranged everything in advance, otherwise where did those photos come from, and he also searched for the dirty information about the property company run by Aledong Shixiaocheng in advance.
"Mr. Prosecutor, do you have anything else to say?"
"Of course." The prosecutor picked up the document in his hand and looked at Zheng Jirong, who was staring at him with a smile. "This Mr. Zheng has committed more than one crime."
He pointed at Zheng Jirong and said: "Last night, not long before the so-called demonstration movement, he had hosted various uncles from the club and Lian Sheng at a restaurant in Mong Kok. However, after that night, three of them were mysteriously We received information from an informant that Zheng Jirong killed two of them at the dinner table and threatened one of them to jump off the building and commit suicide."
"Sir," Sandy looked at him and shook her head: "I advise you not to talk nonsense without evidence. Mr. Zheng can definitely sue you for slander."
"You want evidence?"
After the prosecutor presented the information in his hand, he told the judge: "The surveillance on the road that night clearly captured how Zheng Jirong kidnapped these old people, and half an hour after entering the restaurant, [Spineless] opened fire in the alley behind the restaurant's back kitchen. A small truck got out, and according to the surveillance video, he drove all the way to the port in Tsim Sha Tsui. This was clearly a case of murder and dumping the body!"
"These are just your associations. If you want to convict, these are not enough."
The prosecutor looked at Sandy and smiled and said: "Our police found a customer who had the guts to go there that night. He can testify."
"Call the witness."
Soon after, a lame old man was brought up with the help of the police. After seeing the person clearly, Zheng Jirong raised his eyebrows.
Qingshan Taoist lame man, this guy has always been at odds with Big D. It is not difficult to understand why he came out to testify against him this time.
When passing by the dock, he glanced at Zheng Jirong, who was smiling at him, and then sat down in the witness seat with his lips tightly pursed.
"Mr. Wang, according to what you told our police last night."
"I don't remember anything."
The old cripple suddenly interrupted: "Don't ask me, I don't remember what I said last night."
"What?" The prosecutor walked quickly to the old cripple, grabbed his shoulders and said solemnly: "I recorded everything you said last night! There is nothing to be afraid of. After you testify against Zheng Jirong, I will ensure that you walk out safely!" "
"I don't know, I've lost my memory! I have Alzheimer's disease! I'm sick! Don't come here."
The old lame man threw away the prosecutor's hand and ran frantically outside the court, dragging one leg. The prosecutor quickly stopped him and shouted to the judge: "Give me some time."
"Objection", Sandy raised her hand and said: "This witness's mental condition is obviously abnormal. He may have amnesia or Alzheimer's disease as he said. His testimony has no legal value!"
After the judge was silent for a while, he banged his gavel!
"I pronounce the verdict. The witness failed to testify due to amnesia. All charges against the suspect Zheng Jirong were released in court due to insufficient evidence!"
"Brother Rongrong, this is Miss Shan Sandy, a well-known barrister in Hong Kong. I have specially invited you to...give..."
"Okay, it will be dark by the time you finish the introduction." Zheng Jirong patted Master Su on the shoulder, extended his hand to Sandy and said with a smile: "Hello, Miss Sandy, your defense just now was wonderful."
"Excuse me. I also use money to do things, and anyone can win this kind of defense. After all, you have prepared so much in advance."
Seeing Sandy's lukewarm look, Zheng Jirong wrinkled his nose. It seemed that this woman regarded him as a villain.
He smiled and nodded and ignored her. He took the cigar lit by Master Su and walked out of the court in a swaggering manner surrounded by many people.
When he saw Jimmy and others waiting anxiously at the gate, Zheng Jirong opened his arms and grinned:
"Jimmy, I'm out."
