The "Conference Room" of Jinshun Hotel.
Lu Ming picked up the photos on the table and looked at them one by one, frowning.
This is a photo of Cheng Lingyu stabbing a man dressed as a servant to death with a knife.
Yesterday, the prosecutor temporarily provided existing evidence to the defense, including photos of Kato Shoichi killing the boy.
Today, Kato Shoichi’s lawyer Yamasuke Han brought this stack of photos to Cheng Lingyu.
Now, Cheng Lingyu's face was ashen, "Shan Jingfan said that these photos are fake and made up of different plates. If the photos we use as evidence do not have plates, then our photos have no credibility at all. It can be faked completely!”
He looked at Lu Ming: "How did you get these photos? Are there really no negatives?"
Lu Ming shook his head, this Shan Jing rice was indeed amazing.
The darkroom "PS" technology should be in its infancy, he can imagine it, and he has a wide range of knowledge.
Moreover, being able to find a photographer with such superb darkroom skills in a short period of time shows the deep connections of people at this level.
He seems to be one of the royal lawyers of the Kato family and one of the most powerful lawyers among the Japanese. In terms of rank, he is several levels higher than Liu Hanhuan.
Liu Hanhuan has just been promoted to the fourth rank of lawyer, which is unique in the history of Beiguan.
He is a classic lawyer, but he is a sixth-dan lawyer, which is a real "barrister".
The legal industry is a pyramid structure. The higher you go up, the harder it is to get promoted. From a fourth-level senior lawyer to a fifth-level super lawyer, it is already as big as a natural chasm.
It is even more difficult to go from super lawyer to barrister.
Over there, Cheng Lingyu looked at Lu Ming shaking his head with even more disgust in his eyes. He snorted and looked at the other prosecutors, "What new discoveries have you made?"
Everyone was silent, and it seemed that there was no substantial progress.
"Everyone, move, move! What are you doing standing still!" Cheng Lingyu waved his hand impatiently.
Everyone stood up in a hurry and stepped out of the way.
……
Sitting in the car, Lu Ming was still thinking, since Jin Zhengyi knew that he might be in danger and hid the evidence, why was there no bottom copy in the dossier?
Are they separated? Or is there something wrong with the bottom version?
Or maybe it's not really a piece of cake?
It is true that Kato Shoichi tortured and killed boys, but in fact, he had no real evidence. After all, today's cameras are not as compact as later generations. If Kato Shoichi could secretly photograph the murder scene, the chance would not be great. .
But if it is fake, why is it so mysterious and hidden where ordinary people can’t find it?
……
As soon as I returned to Room 408 of Wendebao Club, I received a call from Wang Xiaohu.
Because I am worried that I will miss any new news, I will inform Wang Xiaohu of the day's itinerary and what I will do, and I will also make notes for him with various contact information.
Lu Ming had a very good impression of Wang Xiaohu, especially Wang Xiaohu. His hometown was originally a resident of the fishing town in Wolong Bay. It was very close to his new company building and he could be considered a neighbor to fellow villagers.
Of course, he didn't know who owned the land, and he wouldn't pay attention to such things.
"Brother, something happened again!" Wang Xiaohu said anxiously.
Lu Ming frowned: "What's wrong?"
"It turns out that there was a blackmail letter from the Japanese. It was from Jin Zhengyi, who blackmailed Kato Shoichi, saying that he had conclusive evidence and wanted Kato Shoichi to redeem it for 5,000 yuan." Wang Xiaohu sighed. , and got even more angry and scolded her, "This Reporter Kim, is he still called Zhengyi?! This makes me so angry!"
“They didn’t mention this letter at all when they were exchanging evidence with Cheng Inspector. They probably wanted to catch us by surprise by bringing it out suddenly during the trial.”
"Fortunately, Cheng Jian is very powerful. Their legal team is familiar with Cheng Jian, but now, they have been expelled."
Lu Ming nodded lightly, he had no evidence at all, and the case could only be established at the court hearing based on this pile of photos.
So, the other party also knows that there is these photographic evidences, and it is impossible not to show them to the other party.
But the defense is different. The blackmail letter can be delayed until the critical moment of the trial. It only needs to be faked as a blackmail letter and just discovered due to some strange combination of circumstances.
The prosecution will definitely carry out handwriting appraisal, and this cannot be faked. Therefore, this letter should most likely be authentic.
This is Jin Zhengyi.
Lu Ming hung up the phone and cursed like Wang Xiaohu in his heart.
I don’t know what Jin Zhengyi’s intention was. Maybe it wasn’t what Wang Xiaohu thought, but he had other plans, but unfortunately they didn’t succeed. However, his actions made the prosecution more and more disadvantageous.
If the trial starts now, we can say that we will definitely lose. Fortunately, the court is somewhat biased towards the prosecution. Due to the recent arrangements of the trial court, this case is scheduled to open its first session in half a month.
There is still half a month left.
On the balcony, Lu Ming paced, his brows furrowing tighter and tighter.
"Sir, phone!" Park Souna's sweet voice came from outside the bedroom.
When Lu Ming was working in 408, she would wait in the servant room, where she was the operator and the room attendant.
Lu Ming went out to pick him up, but it was Wen Lao Er Wen Liang who called, saying that he had made some discovery.
Lu Ming immediately became energetic. This guy is so efficient. I told him at noon and got a clue in the evening?
……
The place where Mr. Wen asked Lu Ming to meet was not Dashunfa, but his residence in the suburbs, a garden villa beside the green lake. There are dozens of such garden villas in this area, which can be regarded as Beiguan One of the wealthy class gathering areas.
But the real powerful people mostly live on Hepu Road.
Lu Ming arrived at Mr. Wen's garden villa, and soon he was led directly into a dark basement by Mr. Wen's subordinates.
"Hey!" "Hey!" In the corner of the basement, a person was tied up, and someone was beating him severely with a belt.
After getting used to the light, Lu Ming could see clearly that the person tied to the rack was an old man with gray hair. His sweatshirt was stained with blood. He had his eyes closed, and his face looked very painful, but he obviously did not faint. But he was beaten hard, but he didn't say a word.
Lu Ming frowned slightly. This Wen Lao Er was really a bit brainless. Wen Liangyu would never let himself see such a scene.
"Lawyer Lu, come on!" Wen Liang's burly figure stood in another corner. He smiled and waved to Lu Ming.
Lu Ming slowly walked over and noticed that there was a thin monkey kneeling in front of Wen Liangren with a wretched face. He looked like he was so scared that he was about to pee his pants, and there was no blood on his face.
"You kid, come here and tell Lawyer Lu everything you know. If you dare to tell a lie! Let me show you a sample!" Wen Liangren shouted.
On the other side, a burly man with naked upper body immediately took out a red-hot iron from the brazier and stamped it on the chest of the old man who was tied to the torture frame. The old man groaned and groaned. Alas, there was a smell of burnt meat.
The kneeling skinny monkey was so frightened that he kowtowed repeatedly, "Second Master, I say, I say, I don't dare to tell a lie, I don't dare! Second Master, please spare your life!... Second Master ..." He begged, with snot and tears flowing out, his face was frighteningly pale, and he looked like he was about to faint at any moment.
It seems that I have been scared for a long time.
Wen Liangren turned to Lu Ming and smiled: "What a coincidence or not, I went back to inquire and found out that there really is such a guy who specifically inquires about seven or eight-year-old boys with birthmarks on their legs. I have inquired a lot recently. Tangkou said he wanted to buy it, and here he is again this afternoon, this guy!" He pointed at the skinny monkey who was so frightened that he had lost half of his life.
Lu Ming's originally slightly excited heart suddenly cooled down.
"Uncle, I, I am here to inquire for others, to inquire for others!" Skinny Monkey squeezed his tears and felt extremely aggrieved, "I heard that a rich man's child was lost in my house. I don’t know, I just know that he has a birthmark on his leg, so I’m here to try my luck. I don’t know that rich man. I will definitely say nothing when I go back. Don’t say anything at all...Second Master, you got around me! Well...Second Master, Second Grand Master..."
He cried and wanted to hug Wen Liangren's legs. Wen Liangren kicked him away and grinned at Lu Ming, "Lawyer Lu, you are also looking for the rich man's kid, right? This kid must be You still have to hide it, so you deserve to be beaten!”
The Skinny Monkey was so frightened that he burst into tears immediately, "No, I'm not telling lies! Sir, gentlemen..."
Lu Ming waved his hand helplessly, "Forget it! Don't make it difficult for him!"
I don’t blame the second brother Wen. After all, Wen Liangyu seems to be very tight-lipped and has not revealed what he is doing to his second brother at all.
"It's not him!" Niuyan, a Wenliang man, rolled his eyes and cursed: "Pull him out and deal with him properly. It's a waste of my expression and makes Lawyer Lu's trip in vain!"
The two big men dragged the crying skinny monkey out. Lu Ming took a look and said, "Second brother, forget it, it was me who caused an unreasonable disaster for him."
As he spoke, Lu Ming walked out. When he passed the torture rack, he stopped and asked, "Second brother, what's wrong with this man?"
Wen Liangren walked up to the old man and spat on it. The old man closed his eyes and remained unmoved.
Wen Liangren walked a few steps quickly to catch up with Lu Ming and smiled: "This old cheap Bangzi also came to Dashunfa to look for his grandson. He found him in front of my hall. Originally, I said you were ruthless and domineering, so you can take care of him. It’s okay to leave, but he didn’t come back to kill him just a few days after taking his grandson away! How can we coddle him and then bury him alive?”
Lu Ming frowned slightly, and after walking out of the basement, he said: "My close relative was abducted by a trafficker. I can't blame him at all. Second brother, when we do things, we still have to leave some room to avoid hurting Tianhe, otherwise let him go."
"Let him go?!" Wen Liangren glanced at Lu Ming in surprise, then smiled, "Come on, Lawyer Lu, let me show you something!"
Leading Lu Ming to the back garden, there were several cars parked in the colorful carport next to the lawn. One of the cars was uneven, as if it had been in a car accident.
"Lawyer Lu, come and see! Look carefully!" Wen Liangren stretched out his hand, pointing to the car that had been in the car accident.
Lu Ming was puzzled at first, but when he walked closer and looked at it carefully, he was stunned. The dented marks looked like fingerprints, as if they were punched by someone.
