www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of My Wife is an Archon!
On July 5, the much-anticipated Kato Masaichi serial child abuse and murder case officially entered the pretrial preparation stage. In the morning, both sides selected jurors.
According to the application submitted by Shan Jingfan, in order to ensure that the case can be heard in the fairest way, the range of jurors should be diversified to the maximum extent. The ten jurors should be composed of three Japanese, three Westerners and Composed of four people from Central China.
It is extremely rare that during the jury selection stage, the prosecution and defense started a fierce competition. Cheng Lingyu and Shan Jingfan both rejected the juror candidates agreed by the other party several times. In addition, both sides asked many questions to the jurors. In the end, they all Throughout the day, only three jurors were confirmed, one each from China, a Westerner, and a Japanese.
The court had to announce that it would conduct a new jury selection three days later, because most of the juror candidates originally selected by the court were rejected by both parties, and it was necessary to prepare new juror candidates.
This lawsuit is destined to go down in the history of the legal community in the East China Sea.
As the second prosecutor, Lu Ming spent most of his time quietly observing.
Our own strategy for selecting defenders has been discussed and determined for a long time. Especially for Asians and Westerners, they should try to choose women, and they should show basic sympathy when answering questions. People from Central China should try to choose men, starting from the questions. The kind that reflects a strong character.
Lu Ming had some different opinions at the time, but after everyone unanimously discussed it, he did not insist on it.
There was almost noisy in the court all day long. When the court adjourned at around five o'clock in the afternoon, Lu Ming stood up immediately and walked through the side door. If it were the front door, the media swarming outside would be even more troublesome. Moreover, this focus The limelight under the spotlight is destined to belong to Cheng Lingyu and Shan Jingfan.
……
"Lu Bian!"
In the corridor, Lu Ming heard someone calling him from behind. When he turned around, he saw Cheng Ye coming.
The lawyer at Liu Hanxuan Law Firm, Lu Ming’s first case, was the lawyer who helped Bisi clear up her grievances.
Cheng Ye looked at Lu Ming with complicated emotions.
A few months have passed, and the status of the two of them has become completely different. Lawyer Lu Qianxing has transformed from a rookie lawyer to a talented debater who is known to everyone in the Beiguan legal community. He is the registered lawyer. He was promoted to the second rank in one year, and was even more popular than his boss Liu Hanxuan back then.
Furthermore, not only did he technically defeat his boss Liu Hanxuan, but he also became a darling in the eyes of his boss Liu Hanxuan. It is rumored that the boss is preparing to make great efforts to recruit this young lawyer to pass, and may propose a senior partnership. favorable conditions for people.
It’s no wonder that not only has he set a record for being promoted to second-level lawyer in the shortest time, but he can also participate in a high-profile case like the Kato Masaichi case, and his future is bright.
As for myself, a few months have passed and I am still a small lawyer in that firm. In other words, in the past few years, there has not been much change. It is as if I can already see what the end will be in this life.
Thinking about it, Cheng Ye sighed softly in his heart, but then adjusted his mentality and smiled: "Lu Bian, I won't go to the wedding banquet for your promotion to the second rank!" He took out a red envelope from his briefcase, "Congratulations to Lu Bian for his great achievements in the future!"
Lu Ming was slightly startled. He has been very busy with various things recently, and he has not prepared any wedding banquet. However, Wang Daan mentioned it several times. After all, this is a very grand and big event, and a banquet must be prepared and done well. A sense of ritual.
After thinking about it, Lu Ming took the red envelope and said with a smile: "Thank you, Lawyer Cheng." Just like in his previous life, favors come and go, and if someone gives you a red envelope in person, it would be too humiliating if you insist on not accepting it.
But this time, the red envelope was obviously prepared, as if he knew he was going to appear in court today and came here to wait for him.
Seeing that Cheng Ye was hesitant to speak, Lu Ming smiled and said, "Lawyer Cheng, what can I do?"
Cheng Ye seemed to be worried about not being able to open the topic. Seeing Lu Ming take the initiative to ask, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, but shook his head and said, "Originally, I didn't want to trouble you, Lu Bian. I have a very good friend who is a reporter. I have always wanted to give you an exclusive interview..."
After hearing this, Lu Ming immediately waved his hand and said with a smile: "Forget it! Brother Cheng, let me tell you the truth, this Japanese case is too sensitive. How many media want some inside information? If I release the information without authorization, Cheng Inspector You must be anxious with me!”
"Lu Bian, don't worry, she is definitely not trying to get exclusive information about your case, but as a lawyer from Zhongzhou, you have broken the record of the youngest person to be promoted to the second degree. In the past, this kind of record was controlled by Westerners. Yes, so she admires you very much, and that’s why she came up with the idea of doing an exclusive interview with you. Moreover, all the interview questions will be reviewed by you in advance. Also, she is a reporter for the "Daily Empire News", Not some third-rate tabloid! ”
Lu Ming was startled for a moment, then shook his head: "Let's wait until we get past this limelight!" He thought to himself, good guy, that's even worse. This is one of the largest newspapers in the empire. Although it is not popular in the four northern provinces, it is The upper class will still learn about the happenings in the core area of the empire through the Chinese version of the newspaper. If you want to put your photo on it, doesn't it become a wanted order for you?
Cheng Ye sighed, "Well, since you are so determined, let's talk about it later."
Lu Ming thought for a while, took out a business card from his briefcase and handed it over, "Lawyer Cheng, this is my latest contact information, as well as my personal contact information. Please allow her time to contact me. Whether we want to do an exclusive interview or not, we’ll wait until we communicate!” On the business card, there is the number of Wang Lu Law Firm in JiNiao Building, and there is also a private number, which is the phone number of Room 408 of Wendebao Club.
Cheng Ye was immediately overjoyed and hurriedly took the business card: "Okay, okay, thank you!" In this case, the matter was done for him. As for whether to do the final interview, it depends on him. The result of the communication between friends and Lu’s lawyer team.
When Lu Ming walked out, he opened the red envelope and looked at it. He was slightly startled to see that it was a hundred-yuan red note.
In fact, today's gifts are only one or two yuan for ordinary colleagues' weddings and funerals. Five yuan is for close friends. Naturally, the gifts for lawyers are more generous, but 10 yuan or 20 yuan is about the same. It was just 100 yuan, and for an ordinary lawyer like Cheng Ye, it was either because of a very close relationship, or because the person the gift was given to was very heavy, so if he gave it less, he would be scolding him instead.
This journey is a bit interesting.
Thinking about it, Lu Ming walked out of the east gate of the court, and soon, Sun Luting appeared in front of him.
The black car that was originally parked under the shade of the tree also slowly drove over and stopped at the foot of the steps.
"Master, my mother-in-law is here..." Sun Luting looked a little hesitant. Looking at his ears, they seemed a little redder than usual, the sign of someone twisting them, but he was so old, shouldn't he?
Lu Ming was startled.
Finding that Lu Ming seemed to have noticed his ears, Sun Luting's face suddenly turned red and he became a little embarrassed, "Master, she..."
"Why don't you see me, Master? You must be tired of looking at me!" A short figure walked out from among the green trees beside the steps, "That's how you are, procrastinating your mother-in-law and mother-in-law in doing things, and you can't blame the little ones. The gangsters can take care of you!"
The person who came over was a country woman. She wore a blue flowered jacket with leggings and black trousers. Her gray hair was neatly combed. Her face was dark, so there were no wrinkles. Her eyes were electric, not even for her age. As sharp as an old woman should be.
"Master, my old slave Sun Erniang is here to greet you!" The woman clasped her fists and spoke very quickly. At first glance, she had a shrewd personality that was very good at making things happen.
Lu Ming smiled bitterly. The first time Sun Luting met the "Holy Envoy", he said that his old lady would also be happy, but later, he never mentioned it again, but he didn't expect that the other party came directly to his door.
It seems that he is here to serve the "Holy Envoy".
Sun Erniang, this name also makes people feel a bit weird.
Do whatever you want. In fact, working for the "Holy Envoy" is logically one's own followers, or the seeds planted by the ancestors who didn't know how many years ago. In this way, it is passed down from generation to generation. Seeing how difficult it is for Sun Luting to find a successor, I'm afraid Even though our ancestors had buried a lot of this kind of entourage in the past, there are still very few that are still being passed down today.
But they only know the "Holy Envoy", which can be regarded as a firewall. The inheritance of the "Holy Envoy" is their own firewall.
However, for various reasons and in my current situation, this firewall is of no use.
According to the original assumptions of the ancestors, these people should not be able to see themselves without going through various tests.
"Well, it turns out it's my aunt." Lu Ming thought about it and said with a smile: "It's hard to come all the way. How about this, Uncle Sun, you go have a good time with my aunt today, and, downstairs Auntie can live in whatever room she likes!”
"Master, what aunt and uncle are you calling me Erniang and him Old Suntou! This man is so unruly!" Sun Erniang glared at Sun Luting as she spoke.
Sun Luting said obediently, "I originally wanted the young master to call me that..." However, Sun Erniang glared at him and was immediately too frightened to speak.
Lu Ming laughed dumbly. Speaking of which, if there was a world, Sun Tiezhang should be a good guy, but he had tracheitis.
Alas, the end of the martial arts world, the tragedy of rivers and lakes. Today there is no martial arts world, and there is no rivers and lakes. These people are no different from ordinary citizens.
"Master, I'm just here to see you. If I want to protect you, I'm definitely not as good as this old ghost. Just leave me alone. I'll go see the Holy Envoy later!" Sun Erniang lowered her voice when she spoke later. .
Lu Ming smiled and nodded.
……
After a trip to Royal Alice Institute of Technology, Lu Ming's ideas became clearer and clearer on how to fight this case, and he was in a good mood.
After returning home, Mrs. Zhen asked timidly: "Master, can I celebrate you today?"
Lu Ming was startled for a moment, and then realized that he wanted to celebrate his promotion to the second rank. Zhen also heard Pan Mila tell her about it. Although she didn't quite understand, just knowing was a good thing, but she was prepared. There was a table full of delicious food, but it was a pity that she was too busy that day and didn't go home at all. At this time, because she was so busy with the Japanese case, and the case was complicated, when she went home, she often sat and frowned, thinking. Don't dare to disturb yourself.
And today, after finally seeing her face turn from cloudy to clear, she cautiously mentioned the matter again.
Looking at her delicate and soft figure, Lu Ming suddenly felt a little sour in his heart. If she were separated from her alone, she would simply not be able to survive in this world. She would know nothing, understand nothing, and only know that she is attached to herself. , determine her mood based on her own emotions.
However, there is an extremely powerful Bi Zhu in her body. I wonder if one day she will completely disappear.
"Celebrate, celebrate well today!" Looking at her beautiful eyes full of expectation, Lu Ming forced a smile.
Zhen was immediately overjoyed and said, "Okay, sir, I'll prepare it then!" It was very laborious to prepare such a large table of dishes, but she was not afraid of the trouble at all, and was extremely happy, but then she said cautiously : "That's right, it just takes a long time to prepare. Master, don't worry..."
"No rush..." Lu Ming gently pulled her delicate hand, causing her body to freeze immediately.
"Come, sit with me for a while, and I'll prepare meals with you in a while!"
"Huh?" Mrs. Zhen was stunned, but she was already pulled by Lu Ming, and she couldn't help but follow Lu Ming to the sofa. Lu Ming sat down and gently applied force. Mrs. Zhen didn't dare to struggle, so she sat in Lu Ming's arms and immediately Her face turned red with embarrassment, and she curled up into Lu Ming's arms like a cat. She didn't dare to move, let alone raise her eyes to look at Lu Ming.
If Mrs. Zhen faints from excitement, Lu Ming is ready to call Bizhu back as soon as she comes out.
Fortunately, this may not be the first time he hugged her gently, so the reaction was not as intense as the first time.
The beauty in my arms is weak and boneless, and it seems as if she has no weight when sitting in my arms, but the smooth and soft touch is still there. That feeling is like holding a marshmallow in a spring dream. I'm afraid it would be any man's. , can't stand this stimulation.
But Lu Ming had no distracting thoughts, he just hugged her gently, his heart was full of tenderness, smelling the fragrance of her hair, he just thought and hoped that you would not become an illusion and would stay with me until I grow old. .
