Hong Kong Film: Jimmy? Please call me Councillor Li

Chapter 114 Opening of Court (Stable Update, Please Subscribe, Please Read)

This trial attracted the attention of many parties, and there were several groups of reporters in the gallery.

After all, this is a scandal involving a wealthy family, and these reporters love gossip the most. How could they miss such a good opportunity?

"Your Honor, everyone is here, we can begin."

The chief prosecutor representing the Zhong family is still Jin Yuanshan, while the defendant’s side is represented by Lin Liangshui, Xiaolu, and Taizi (not the Taizi from Young and Dangerous).

Luo Liya did not appear in court mainly because she wanted to be safe. The evidence they prepared was not sufficient, and there was a high probability that they would not be able to win the case at the first hearing.

In order to prevent the other party from playing tricks in the second trial, Luo Liya chose to hide first to be on the safe side.

At the first hearing, Jin Yuanshan deliberately guided the jury to sentence Zeng Jie'er from murder to manslaughter. Of course, Lin Liangshui could not just stand by and watch.

He immediately stood up and objected, saying that in this trial, there were only guilty and not guilty verdicts, not murder and manslaughter.

"So, do you have evidence to prove that Zeng Jie'er wasn't the murderer? A suicide note alone doesn't mean anything."

Jin Yuanshan's words made Lin Liangshui feel like a thorn in his throat. He thought to himself that everything was just as LA said. Jin Yuanshan was indeed starting to lead in this direction.

Lin Liangshui suddenly showed a strange smile, it was simply God's help to me.

"Your Honor, I have a recording here that I would like to play in court. Please allow me to do so."

"can."

Then, Lin Liangshui released the recording of Zhong Nianhua confessing to his family and his personal lawyer that he was the one who pushed the deceased.

This recording was secretly filmed and is actually a complete video, but this kind of video certainly cannot be used as evidence. The purpose of releasing it is actually to influence the jury.

Under the jury system, the attitude of the jury is very important.

This idea was thought up by Lin Liangshui, but it was Luo Liya who raised the key point.

After returning that day, they assumed that if it was really the deceased's father who deliberately killed the deceased and fed him water, causing his death, then what was his purpose?
Everyone has his own purpose when doing things, just like Lin Liangshui, who opened an office in Sham Shui Po to help people and atone for his sins.

So what was Zhong Jingyi's purpose? The previous evidence could prove the death of the deceased, and it had little to do with Zhong Jingyi. He came up after this, and he saw his children lying in a pool of blood.

He actually took actions to hasten his daughter's death. It was obvious that he didn't want his daughter to wake up and say anything, which was to cover up the truth.

And what made him try so hard to cover it up? Someone he needed to protect, someone who was more important than his daughter's life.

Luo Liya and Lin Liangshui both suspected his wife Zhong Nianhua. Their reasoning was valid. Lin Liangshui came up with an idea. He pretended to be Chen Qiu and called Zhong Nianhua, saying that he still had evidence of his bribery transaction.

As expected, Zhong Nianhua lost his patience and was photographed by the detective hired by Lin Liangshui when he was asking for help.

This is the origin of this video.

The moment the video started playing, Zhong Nianhua's face changed drastically in the audience. He obviously did not expect such an unexpected situation.

The moment Jin Yuanshan heard the recording, he showed his extraordinary quality and stood up and scolded.

"Your Honor, I strongly object to the defendant's lawyer's use of an unidentified recording as evidence."

"The recording is not of unknown origin, it is a complete video."

This caused quite a stir among the jury and the audience. The playing of this recording almost confirmed the key information that Zhong Nianhua pushed the deceased.

If this recording is real, then Zhong Nianhua is the murderer.

But unfortunately, from a legal perspective, considering the source of evidence, this recording cannot be used as evidence and can only be used to induce the jury.

Jin Yuanshan stopped the recording, and the first trial ended abruptly, with the next session scheduled for tomorrow.

Lin Liangshui's nervous mood was finally relieved after he walked out of the courtroom. Everything was as expected. It was a great victory in the first trial, as long as there were no accidents later.

The Zhong family will definitely pay the price they deserve. Lin Liangshui first took his two assistants to meet LA.

Office
When Lin Liangshui saw Luo Liya, he immediately stepped forward excitedly and told her about today's results. The latter was a little indifferent. It was not his style to open champagne at halftime. The most important thing was to watch the trial tomorrow.

Xiaolu and Taizi were somewhat flattered to see Luo Liya. They had not expected that the person who was helping Lin Liangshui behind the scenes was actually the famous lawyer LA who had dominated the political and legal circles seven years ago.

LA, who became a legend less than two years after his debut, is undoubtedly the idol in the hearts of Xiaolu and Taizi. If LA had not retired in the past seven years, he might have already reached the pinnacle of the Hong Kong legal community.

"Hello, Senior..."

The prince was so excited that he was incoherent. After Luo Liya nodded and greeted them, she called Lin Liangshui to the side to discuss the case.

"LA, the court hearing is tomorrow. How are you going to fight this case?"

Luo Liya's lips curled up into a dangerous smile.

"All the evidence we have now can only prove Zeng Jie'er's innocence. Chen Qiu's suicide note only mentioned lying, but did not mention false confessions. Although our video footage shows Zhong Nianhua personally admitting that he bribed Chen Qiu.

But that can't be used as evidence. If we want to punish the two murderers, Zhong Nianhua and Zhong Jingyi, the evidence is far from enough."

After hearing this, Lin Liangshui's smile gradually disappeared. Yes, there was a high probability that Zeng Jie'er would be able to overturn the verdict, but the real murderer was still at large.

In the original novel, in the end, only Zhong Nianhua and his wife were taken away for investigation, but Zhong Nianhua and others were not convicted. This was probably because it was difficult to convict, and they did not want the audience to know the result.

Lin Liangshui was disheartened, and LA patted his shoulder.

"I have a way to send Zhong Nianhua in, but it may require some extraordinary means."

——Zhong family

Zhong Nianhua and his wife, as well as their family lawyer, sat in the office in a depressed mood.

Today's trial was a big surprise to them. No one expected this to happen. Zhong Nianhua looked at the family lawyer.

"What should we do now?"

This senior figure in the political and legal circles thought about it for a long time and gave a wise solution.

"The jury is very likely to favor Zeng Jie'er. We absolutely cannot let them overturn the verdict. If they do, you two will definitely be taken away for investigation. Are you sure you've dealt with this matter thoroughly?"

"Well, they won't find any evidence."

"I know a few people on the jury. Find a way to connect them. After tomorrow, no matter what the result is, you two should go abroad for a while and find some other people to prevent Lin Liangshui from coming to the scene."

The old senior is an old senior. He immediately gave three corresponding plans: obstructing Lin Liangshui from opening the court and bribing the jury. Each one is a unique trick.

But this is the last efficient method at present.

People are born unequal, and even ants cannot dream of turning the world upside down. This time, let them see what power is.

Zhong Nianhua also thought that these methods were good. No matter how powerful Lin Liangshui was, what use would it be as long as he could not appear in court.

——Home Property

Because of the changes in the case, Zhong Nianhua and others now don’t even have time to deal with the property affairs of the home.

It gave Li Jiayuan some peace and quiet.

"What? You said the Zhong family bribed the jury?"
