my wife is a consul

Chapter 34 Who am I?
In the past few days, Lu Ming's mind has been in a daze. Fortunately, there is not much he needs to do. It is nothing more than exchanging evidence with the prosecution, and providing a report on Li Mingxuan's physical condition. The court will determine the hearing time. run errands.

Lu Ming, by the way, asked the school for a few days off.

And soon, the time for the first court session arrived. On May 5, Li Si's case was held for the first time.

In Court No. 2 of the Ninth Circuit Court of the East China Sea (Beiguan Court), Lu Ming and Liu Hanxuan are determining the candidates for the jury.

In the jury seat, [-] candidates sit each time, and the defense representative Lu Ming and the prosecution representative Liu Hanxuan ask questions. If both parties agree, the candidate will become a member of the jury.

In the end, a jury of 10 people is selected, and the jury of a criminal case adopts the principle of unanimous consent, that is, the voting result will be valid only if all agree or oppose.

When selecting jurors, both the prosecution and the defense have 4 chances to reject candidates without reason, and there is no limit to the chances of removing candidates with reasons, that is, as long as the court approves your reasons, you can reject juror candidates unlimited times People go to the jury.

Candidates for jurors have certain academic requirements, let alone criminal records.

In addition, lawyers, judges, doctors, firefighters, police officers, teachers and government officials, among others, cannot serve as jurors.

Because these people are too professional, there is a high probability that they will manipulate the entire jury, making the entire jury system a one-man show for him alone.

When selecting jurors, Liu Hanxuan was more inclined to new immigrants, that is, immigrants within one generation.

Lu Ming secretly said in his heart that he was very powerful. He had read many psychological books in his previous life.

Generally speaking, people think that new immigrants are more sympathetic and tolerant to those who come to the East China Sea to seek life.

But the fact is just the opposite. Perhaps those who hate foreign beggars like Li Mingxuan the most are new immigrants. They think that people like Li Mingxuan have lowered the overall standard of new immigrants, and even made themselves discriminated against.

And Liu Hanxuan can accurately grasp the main psychological state of some groups now, and he is indeed a powerful person.

Lu Ming focuses on people with strong logical analysis ability. The questions he asks are all the same, similar to the cows in the open field, which are logical questions.

The problem is that someone has always regarded the cow model in the open field as his own cow, although his cow is indeed in the open field, but hidden behind trees, then the fact that the person believes that the cow is in the open field is correct of it?
Then, Lu Ming will ask the candidates to give reasons for their answers, so as to judge their objective understanding of the matter.

Hearing Lu Ming ask each candidate this question, Liu Hanxuan was a little surprised.

It is undoubtedly the naive idea of ​​a rookie lawyer to hope that the jury can analyze the case through correct logical thinking ability.

What surprised Liu Hanxuan was, does this guy really think his client is innocent?
And a few hours later, the ten jurors who both agreed to confirm formally formed the jury in this case.

The judge struck the gavel and announced that at three o'clock in the afternoon, the case would officially open and enter the trial process.

……

Room 302 of the Husky Hotel temporarily became the foothold of Lu Ming and others.

It's not far from Beiguan Court, so it's a good place to stop for a lunch break.

The benefactor, Liu Laocai, voluntarily donated his wallet to the 302 suite for a month for Lu Ming to use in this lawsuit.

In the suite, looking at the smiling Liu Laocai, Lu Ming was a little speechless, wondering what he likes to get involved in.

In terms of kinship, Mingjia Entertainment's big boss Liu Shouye and second boss Liu Shoucheng are his distant cousins, and the prosecution representative Liu Hanxuan is his cousin.

Even if the relationship between the two parties is not harmonious, it is not necessary to spend money to watch the excitement. It is really an unusual bamboo shoot, and it belongs to the old bamboo shoot.

"Lu Dazhuang, let's talk about business and your business. I'm leaving. I just want to see if you need me to do something!" Said: "Lu Dazhuang, this Liu's second child should be disgraced, please!"

Lu Ming coughed.

Originally, there were still many worries. Although the outside world knew that Liu Laocai and Liu Shouye brothers were not on good terms, they were still related. Who knew if this guy took the opportunity to inquire about the news.

After all, people are so close to each other, whether you help him with the lawsuit or be hired by him as the company's legal counsel, but if it involves deep-seated interests, you may not be sold by him.

Looking at it now, it would be best if he didn't stay to observe his own strategy in the lawsuit.

The suite is exquisitely decorated, with a blue and white patterned western long sofa, a dark oval coffee table, and a 7-inch TV.

In this grade of suite, desks and cabinets and telephones are also must-haves.

Li Mingxuan, sitting on the side of the sofa, was taking painkillers. The stitches on the wound on his face had just been removed, and the scars were messy. He looked at Lu Ming suspiciously from time to time.

Maybe until now, I don't know what Lu Ming wants to do. Do he really want to help him with this lawsuit?
Both Wang Da'an and Chen Qinghua were there, and apart from the operator Ji Ji, the firm was also fully mobilized, after all, it was a very high-profile case.

In addition, near the door of the house, sitting on a chair was a tall, sturdy, bald man with dense earrings on his ears, making him look extremely sturdy.

His name is Datou, he is considered as a temporary bodyguard.

It was the old ghost from the detective agency who hired Lu Ming as an intermediary.

Looking at the resume of the big head, he has served in the Imperial Marine Corps, and he is an elite among the elites. He has participated in death exploration, which is the exploration of the surrounding weird sea areas that the empire has tirelessly pursued. They are a small team, only the big head survived and came back.

But because he was from Central Continent, it was very difficult for him to become a professional soldier and get promoted. In the end, he retired and went home. Without any special skills, he became a bodyguard.

His fee is not cheap, 20 imperial coins per day, and the minimum starting time is ten days.

In addition, if you really do it, you will be charged additionally depending on the equipment used.

Hiring temporary bodyguards was suggested by the old ghost. Speaking of the high-profile lawsuit, in order to avoid being harassed, necessary security measures are still needed, even if you go in and out of the court to help you block reporters and some protesters.

Lu Ming then remembered that a murderer entered his room and got rid of by Mrs. Zhen, so he accepted the old ghost's proposal.

Now that he glanced at the big head, Lu Ming couldn't help but think of Zhen Shi again.

Perhaps Zhen Shi really has dual personalities, one Zhen Hanzhu, a gentle and virtuous woman; and the other Zhen Bizhu, although she still recognizes her as her maid, but her personality is much stronger, but fortunately, there seems to be a warning sign, Bizhu this Personality will be awakened, so Zhen Shi himself should not be in danger at home, after all, he looks like Mei Chaofeng.

Turning my head to look at Li Mingxuan, I thought to myself, you bastard, maybe I saved your life long ago, if you really married Zhen Bizhu back home, she might scratch your head a few holes with her claws.

Of course, it seems that Master Long will not let this kind of thing happen, he beat around the bush, the final plan was to send Zhen Shi to his side.

Who am I?

Lu Ming shook his head helplessly.

At Fernard College, I didn't find anything for the time being, and I was extremely cautious. I just learned about the history of this college from all aspects, but I didn't find anything special.

The Fernard Charity Fund was established a hundred years ago, and at the same time, it was also the time when the Fernard Orphanage, the predecessor of Fernard College, was established.

Starting from the Fernard Orphanage, the logo of Fernard College is the pattern of golden leaves on the family heirloom.

However, I still have too little time to go to school, and I haven't made any progress in my study of Western language. It seems that it would be better to join the special Western language training class of the college after the summer vacation.

In this world, if you want to enter the real upper class, you must not know Western language.

"For my lawsuit, you have spent too much money!" Li Mingxuan looked at Lu Ming with strange eyes.

Lu Ming smiled: "It's not me spending money, someone will pay for it for me."

"That's your favor too, it's more important than money!" Li Mingxuan picked up the cigarette on the coffee table and lit one.

Lu Ming was stunned for a moment, and realized that both himself and Li Mingxuan seemed to have changed. When they came to the East China Sea, they both became smokers.

In fact, I generally understood Li Mingxuan's experience. His whole family was killed, and he also had a broken leg. After escaping by chance, he fled all the way to Donghai. I came to Donghai a few months earlier than myself.

But on the way, his pocket money was stolen, and his leg injury was not healed and he couldn't find a job. Naturally, he couldn't be the same as himself, entrusting an immigration company to make a fake identity to apply for a residence permit, so from the moment he entered the East China Sea, Li Mingxuan became the target of being driven away by the police on the street.

Now, he was involved in another murder case, and was tortured in the detention center, even disfigured.

It's not easy for him not to go crazy now.

Thinking about it, Lu Ming picked up the file on the table and looked at it, especially a piece of paper inside, which was the details of what Li Mingxuan had said.

According to what Li Mingxuan said, on the day of the incident, he and another attendant sent his second concubine, Li Xiaoyan, downstairs to the Jincheng Hotel. He originally wanted to leave, but the waiter Xiaocui came down and told him that the second wife of Li wanted to see him.

After he went up, it happened that Li Xiaoyan wanted to rape him.

Every time he saw this place, Lu Ming felt a little helpless, as if Li Mingxuan's fate had taken a turn for the worse since he came into this world, becoming more and more miserable.

Not to mention becoming a crippled tramp, he was raped by a shrew, and then became a murderer and even disfigured.

It's almost like being possessed by a god.

Lu Ming was startled suddenly, and asked, "Li Si, according to what you said, when you arrived at Room 14 of Jincheng Hotel, Li Xiaoyan's first question was to ask you, what about the things I gave you?"

"Yes." Li Mingxuan nodded, "It's just a few words, but I put the jade pendant she gave me that day at home, so I replied, 'I'll bring it to you tomorrow'."

Lu Ming nodded slightly. Li Mingxuan is actually a very powerful prosecutor. In this kind of life-and-death moment, he will definitely explain the details clearly, without missing a single word.

"Then, she said, 'Just keep it as a souvenir...' She smiled twice, winking like silk, and came to pull you?"

Li Mingxuan nodded: "Yes." There was a trace of pain in his eyes, presumably, it was the scene of being molested by that shrew, which cast a shadow in his heart.

"She grabbed your arm. You are not as strong as her. When you were pressed on the bed by her, she just touched you up and down?"

"Yes..." Li Mingxuan lowered his head and bit his lips.

"Your Yin Diameter, did you win at that time?" Lu Ming asked suddenly.

Wang Daan and Chen Qinghua next to him were stunned.

Li Mingxuan immediately raised his head, his face full of anger, but then he sighed, how could he not know, according to his testimony, the prosecution will definitely ask these questions, and it may be more straightforward and sharper.

"Yes..." After hesitating for a while, Li Mingxuan squeezed out two words between his teeth.

Lu Ming nodded, and looked at the testimony again, "When she let go of your hand and grabbed yours, ahem, you picked up the flying eagle sculpture on the bedside table, smashed her head, and then pushed away She, you ran out, and when you turned around, you saw her getting up and yelling at you with anger on her face."

"Yes." Li Mingxuan gritted his teeth and said, "She definitely wasn't killed by me."

Lu Ming nodded. According to the forensic report, Second Aunt Li's skull was hit several times with blunt objects. He didn't tell Li Mingxuan about this.

"You remember the details so clearly. There are advantages and disadvantages. I can't prove your identity as a former prosecutor in court. Therefore, the prosecution will lead the jury to think that you fabricated these clear details."

Lu Ming put down his testimony and looked at Li Mingxuan, "You understand this, right?"

Li Mingxuan was stunned, and sighed, "You always see farther than I do."

Wang Daan and Chen Qinghua glanced at each other. They knew that this Li Si claimed to be a prosecutor in the past, and they didn't know if he was bragging, but listening to the current conversation, he and Lawyer Lu knew each other before?

Lu Ming looked at the testimony, "Where is the thing I gave you?" "Where is the thing I gave you?"

After repeating it twice, he asked, "Li Xiaoyan, did you ever want to return something I gave you?"

"Sometimes, especially the jade pendant, she drank too much and cried and said that it was given to her by Master Liu Er when he loved her the most. Now, she wants to give it to me. It used to be her most precious thing. She's giving it to me..."

"Sometimes she gets drunk and throws some precious things from Liu Shoucheng and Liu Shoucheng's little memories to me like rubbish, and she will go back afterwards. This has happened a few times, so this jade pendant, I guess It was her favorite in the past, and she will definitely take it back, but I didn't expect that she would take it back before she sobered up, so I didn't put it on me, it was too precious, I was afraid of losing it, so I hid it early safe."

Lu Ming nodded, "However, I still want to talk to Xiao Cui again, something is not quite right here."
