In the hearing court, Judge Christine sits high on the judge's bench, wearing a black judge's robe, which also gives her a special air of authority.
Lu Ming looked at her helplessly.
I've been a bit unlucky recently. I can meet her at hearings. I don't know if she is deliberately trying to cause trouble.
Lu Ming wanted to send more than a dozen Japanese people and companies to the dock in one breath.
Today is the day for the presiding judge to hear the case to see whether the economic dispute is established or not.
The first defendant, named Kato Shizuo, is the younger brother of Katsura Ayaka's deceased husband, Kato Sanlu.
He is also the main implementer of property transfer.
He was the one who responded most actively. At this time, his small eyes were staring at Lu Ming, with an indescribable gloominess on his face.
Kawashima Ki, the lawyer representing Kato Shizuo, is also a sixth-degree barrister and a native of Tokai. The Kawashima Firm he founded is quite famous in economic litigation.
Lu Ming is also looking at Kawashima Qi, who is in his fifties, has a little bald hair, looks rustic, and wears a cheap kimono, which looks like a roadside stall, and is wrinkled.
Next to him, there was a sudden smile, but it was Tie Xiaojia who was his assistant.
Seeing Lu Ming look over, Tie Xiaojia whispered: "Master, this old peasant monster is interesting."
Lu Ming shook his head. People who like to use fancy clothes to express their personality are either very interesting or pretentious.
But being able to become a sixth-dan barrister is probably because of the former relationship.
On the judge's bench, Christine looked at the plaintiff's indictment, glanced at Lu Ming, who was whispering to his apprentice, and frowned slightly.
"Plaintiff, the lawsuit and injunction you filed this time are ridiculous!" Christine shook her head and picked up the gavel, obviously to rule that the case was not established.
"Your Majesty, please give me a minute to explain my reasons!" Lu Ming hurriedly stood up.
On the other side, Kawashima Qi, who looked like an old farmer in the country, stood up: "In court, I also think this lawsuit is ridiculous. Most of the property that the plaintiff requested to be frozen is in the bank account of the Kingdom of Yingzhou and under the name of the company. Even if the plaintiff wants to file a lawsuit, he should go to the court in Yingzhou."
Christine nodded slightly and raised the gavel.
"Sir, one minute!" Lu Ming raised his finger, looking pitiful.
Kristine glared at him and slowly lowered the gavel.
"Sir, although the property that Miss Katsura Ayaka should inherit was transferred to Yingzhou by the defendant, this case is first of all an inheritance case. Miss Katsura Ayaka has lived in Donghai for more than ten years. In 2007, all the inheritance that she wanted to inherit was in the East China Sea. Therefore, when Miss Katsura Ayaka filed an inheritance lawsuit in the local court, the court should support it."
"But now these properties are no longer in the East China Sea!" Kawashima Qi said slowly, "Yingzhou has its own laws, and the empire also recognizes the authority of Yingzhou's laws in the local area, right?"
Lu Ming nodded: "What you said is correct, but your honor, according to the goddess of justice, Queen Alice allowed all levels of courts to be established in the kingdom a thousand years ago, and there is something in the Code of the Kingdom of Greyfinni that was concluded. , 'The world is unified, all races are equal, and all injustices can be appealed to courts at all levels.' This code is also the cornerstone of our current constitution, equivalent to the status of the First Amendment. Therefore, although the Kingdom of Yingzhou and our country The Kingdom is a federal entity with the same status of sharing weal and woe, but the courts of our Kingdom can also prosecute crimes that occurred in the Kingdom of Yingzhou, especially those involving taxpayers who have lived in our Kingdom for more than ten years. We should do this for Justice for her legal rights!”
Judge Christine frowned immediately.
Kawashima Qiya was stunned, "What are you talking about? What qualifications do you have to judge the affairs of the Yingzhou Kingdom and the local court of the Greyfinni Kingdom?"
Obviously, even though he was born and raised in Donghai, his people are still Japanese, and his heart is also Japanese.
Lu Ming looked at him: "You mean, Queen Alice's hadith from thousands of years ago is a fart? The cornerstone of our empire's laws is nonsense? The First Amendment is a show?!"
Kawashima Qi Li was stunned. This guy dared to talk about Queen Alice like this?
Judge Christine frowned on the bench, picked up the gavel and struck it: "Plaintiff's lawyer, please watch your words!"
"Okay, your honor, I apologize for my rude words!" Lu Ming bowed slightly.
Thinking deeply, Christine said slowly: "I need time to think about this case, but I agree with some of the points raised by the plaintiff. I will issue a temporary injunction, notify relevant Yingzhou people and companies, and temporarily freeze the rights and interests involved in the case. property."
"I protest!" Kawashima Qi was shocked. He originally thought this case was ridiculous, but he didn't expect it and got the support of the judge.
"Adjourn the court to see whether this court has jurisdiction. I will make a final decision at three o'clock in the afternoon!" Christine completely ignored Kawashima, knocked the gavel, and left the table.
Kawashima Qiya had no choice but to stand up with everyone and watched Christine enter the side door.
When Judge Christine disappeared completely and was free to move around in the court, Kawashima Qi looked at Lu Ming: "You are all ridiculous!"
Lu Ming coughed. This long-arm jurisdiction would be very satisfying if he could use it.
……
The food in the court restaurant is average.
Lu Ming, his eldest apprentice, his second apprentice, and Gui Linghua sat at a small wooden table and grabbed some sandwiches, milk and the like.
The hearing was over and it was almost lunch time, so I took two apprentices around here to feel the atmosphere of the court.
"Master, you are so powerful. Our court can take care of Japanese people's affairs at your request?!" Tie Xiaojia's face was filled with admiration and admiration.
Gui Linghua rolled her eyes in her mind, this manly woman always wagged her tail to the master and ignored others.
But then he remembered the sinister eyes of Kato Shizuo in the court, and couldn't help but shudder.
"Miss Katsura Ayaka, don't worry. After I win the lawsuit, I will arrange for you to go to a place where no one knows you and no one can find out your origins. You can start living with a new identity. Even if you lose, , my promise will also be fulfilled.”
When I came to the court and faced the Kato family, the biggest variable now was Katsura Ayaka. If she backed down, everything would be in vain.
So Lu Ming kept observing her expression.
"Mr. Lu, I understand, thank you!" Gui Linghua felt a little more at ease. This lawyer Lu seems to have a simple background. He is probably no worse than the Kato family. There are patrol police around him to protect him 24 hours a day. of.
Lu Ming also noticed that Gui Linghua glanced at the patrol officers at the table next to her.
I know what she is thinking, but I won’t tell her.
Moreover, it is also a shock to the Kato family. After all, the uniforms of the state's violent machine will still make people think twice before committing suicide.
However, the original protection plan for myself was for one month, but now, it has been extended again.
The main patrol department really doesn't want this good job to end. Every patrol officer who has his turn to protect himself is so happy that he will beat the head of a dog over who has more protection for a day and who has less protection for a day.
The Patrol Division found various excuses to report and extend the time. The bureau chiefs turned a blind eye. Who told Lawyer Lu to get the order at the right time, especially to protect Lawyer Lu? Maybe as time goes by, someone will donate an extra car to the bureau.
Thinking about this, Lu Ming shook his head. In this era, it is difficult to describe it in a word.
