my wife is a consul

Chapter 57 Fighting
Jinshun Hotel "meeting room".

Lu Ming picked up the photos on the table and looked at them one by one, frowning.

It was Cheng Lingyu, stabbing a man dressed as a servant to death with a knife.

Yesterday, the prosecution tentatively provided the defense with existing evidence, including photos of Kato Shoichi killing the boy.

Today, Kato Shoichi's lawyer San Jinghan brought such a stack of photos to Cheng Lingyu.

Now, Cheng Lingyu's face is ashen, "Shan Jingfan said that his photos are fake and made up of different plates. If the photos we use as evidence have no plates, then our photos have no credibility at all and can be forged !"

He looked at Lu Ming: "How did you get these photos? Are there really no negatives?"

Lu Ming shook his head, this mountain scripture meal is really powerful.

The darkroom "PS" technology should be in its infancy, and he can imagine it, and he has covered 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 network 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 Dongying people. In terms of rank, he is several grades higher than Liu Hanxuan.

Liu Hanxuan has just been promoted to the fourth rank of lawyer, which is unique in the history of Beiguan.

Shan Jingfan is a six-dan lawyer, that is, a real "big lawyer".

The legal industry has a pyramid structure, and the higher the level, the harder it is to get promoted. From the fourth-level senior lawyer to the fifth-level super lawyer, it is already a natural barrier.

From super lawyer to barrister, it is even more difficult.

Over there, when Cheng Lingyu saw Lu Ming shaking his head, his eyes became even more disgusted. He snorted and looked at the other prosecutors, "Anything new?"

Everyone was silent, and it seemed that there was no substantial progress.

"Move, move! Why are you still standing there!" Cheng Lingyu waved his hands impatiently.

Everyone got up in a hurry and left.

……

Sitting in the car, Lu Ming was still thinking, since Jin Zhengyi hid the evidence knowing that he might be in danger, why is there no negative version in the dossier?
Separated?Or is there something wrong with the bottom version?
Or, can't it really be a patchwork?
It is true that Kato Shoichi tortured and killed the boy, but in fact, he has no real evidence. After all, the cameras are not as compact as those of later generations. If he can secretly capture the scene of Kato Masaichi killing the man, the chance is not great.

But if it is fake, why is it so mysterious and hidden in a place where ordinary people can't find it?
……

As soon as he returned to Room 408 of Wendebao Club, he received a call from Wang Xiaohu.

Because he was worried that he would miss any new news, he would inform Wang Xiaohu of his day's schedule and what he was going to do, and he also made notes for various contact methods.

Lu Ming had a very good impression of Wang Xiaohu, especially Wang Xiaohu, who used to be a resident of the fishing town in Wolong Bay. It was very close to his new company building, so he could be regarded as a neighbor in the village.

Of course, he didn't know whose land it was, and he didn'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 Dongying people. It was Jin Zhengyi who blackmailed Masaichi Kato, saying that he had solid evidence in his hand and asked Masaichi Kato to redeem it with 5000 yuan." Wang Xiaohu sighed and became more angry. I have to scold my mother, "This reporter Jin, is he still called justice?! I'm so mad!"

"When they exchanged evidence with Cheng Jian, they didn't mention this letter at all. They probably wanted to bring it out suddenly during the trial to catch us off guard."

"Fortunately, Cheng Jian is very good. Their lawyer team is familiar with Cheng Jian, but now, they have been kicked out."

Lu Ming nodded lightly. He had no evidence at all, and the court hearing was based on this pile of photos.

Therefore, the other party also knew that there were these photo evidences, and it was impossible not to show them to the other party.

But the defense is different. The extortion letter can be delayed until the critical moment of the trial, and it only needs to be forged as an extortion letter and discovered just now because of a mistake.

And the prosecution will definitely conduct handwriting identification, which cannot be faked. Therefore, this letter should be genuine in all likelihood.

This golden justice.

Lu Ming hung up the phone, feeling the same as Wang Xiaohu, and scolded his mother.

I don't know what Jin Zhengyi's intentions are. Maybe it's not what Wang Xiaohu thought, but he had other plans, but unfortunately they didn't succeed. However, these actions of his made the prosecution more and more disadvantaged.

If we start the trial now, we can say that we will lose. Fortunately, the court is more or less biased towards the prosecution. Due to the recent arrangement of the trial court, the first trial of this case is scheduled to start in half a month.

There is still half a month.

On the balcony, Lu Ming paced back and forth, frowning more and more tightly.

"Sir, call!" Park Xiuna's sweet voice came from outside the bedroom.

When Lu Ming was working in 408, she would wait in the servant's room. She was the operator and also the room attendant.

Lu Ming went out to pick it up, but it was Wen Liang, Wen's second son, who called, saying that he had discovered something.

Lu Ming immediately lifted his spirits. This guy is really efficient. I told him at noon, and there will be a clue in the evening?
……

The place where Wen's second brother asked Lu Ming to meet was not Dashunfa, but his residence in the suburbs, a garden villa by the side of a green lake. There are dozens of such garden villas in this area, which can be regarded as the wealthy class in Beiguan One of the clusters.

But the real dignitaries mostly live in Hepu Road.

Lu Ming came to Wen Laoer's garden villa, and was soon led by Wen Laoer's subordinates into a dark basement.

"Hey!" "Hey!" In the corner of this basement, there is a man tied up, and someone is whipping him severely with a belt.

After getting used to the light a little bit, Lu Ming finally saw clearly that the man tied to the rack was a grey-haired old man, his sweatshirt was stained with blood, his eyes were closed, his face was in pain, but he obviously didn't pass out, but he was beaten heavily. Slapped, but said nothing.

Lu Ming frowned slightly, this second child Wen was really a little brainless, if Wen Liangyu said, he would never let himself see such a scene.

"Lawyer Lu, come here!" The warm and burly figure stood in another corner, and he waved to Lu Ming with a smile.

Lu Ming walked over slowly, only to notice that there was a skinny monkey kneeling in front of Wen Liang, with a wretched face, it looked like he was about to pee his pants in fright, and his face was bloodless.

"You boy, come on, tell Lawyer Lu everything you know, and dare to tell a lie! Let me show you a model!" Wen Liang shouted.

On the other side, a burly man with his upper body naked immediately took out a red hot iron from the brazier, and slammed it on the chest of the old man who was tied to the torture rack. There was a smell of burnt meat.

The wretched and skinny monkey who was kneeling immediately kowtowed in fright, "Second Master, I say, I say, I dare not tell half a lie, I dare not! Second Master, please spare me!...Second Master..." Begging bitterly, snot and tears flowed out, his face was frighteningly pale, and he looked like he was going to faint at any time.

It seems to have been frightened for a long time.

The Wenliang man turned his head and smiled at Lu Ming: "What a coincidence, I went back to inquire, and there really is such a guy who specializes in inquiring about seven or eight-year-old boys with birthmarks on their legs. Recently, I have inquired a lot. He said he wanted to buy it, but he came again this afternoon, just this kid!" Pointing to the skinny monkey who was so frightened that he had lost half of his life.

Lu Ming's heart, which was a little excited, suddenly cooled down.

"Master, I, I'm helping people inquire, I'm helping people inquire!" The thin-skinned monkey squeezed tears, extremely wronged, "I heard that there is a rich man's child who got lost at my house, I don't know anything else, I know that he has a birthmark on his leg, so I'll try my luck. I don't know the rich man. After I go back, I will definitely not say anything, nothing at all!...Second Master, let me go around... Second Master, Second Great Master..."

He was crying and wanted to hug Wen Liangren's leg, but Wen Liangren kicked him away and grinned at Lu Ming, "Lawyer Lu, are you also looking for the rich man's kid? This kid must have something to hide , owe a fight!"

The thin-skinned monkey was so frightened that he immediately cried, "No, I'm not lying! Grandpa, grandpa..."

Lu Ming waved his hand helplessly, "Forget it! Don't make things difficult for him!"

Don't blame Wen's second brother, after all, Wen Liangyu seems to be very serious, and didn't reveal to his second brother what he was doing at all.

"It's not him!" The Wenliang man rolled his eyes and scolded: "Pull him out, deal with him properly, waste my face, and let Lawyer Lu go for nothing!"

The two big men dragged the screaming skinny monkey out, Lu Ming took a look, "Second brother, forget it, it was me who caused him an innocent disaster."

While talking, Lu Ming walked out, and when he passed the torture rack, he stopped, "Second brother, what's wrong with this man?"

Wen Liang just walked up to the old man, and spat out a mouthful of saliva, but the old man closed his eyes and remained unmoved.

The Wenliang people quickly walked a few steps to follow Lu Ming, and smiled: "This old bastard also came to Dashunfa to find his grandson, and he found it at my hall. I said you are fierce and domineering, so you can just take him away." , but he doesn’t, after taking away his grandson for a few days, he came back to beat and kill him! Can he get used to him? Wait until he’s skinned, and then bury him alive!”

Lu Ming frowned slightly, and when he walked out of the basement, he said, "My dearest relative was kidnapped by human traffickers, and I can't blame him at all. Second brother, when we do things, we still have to leave room, so as not to hurt the peace of heaven, or let him go."

"Let him go?!" The Wenliang people looked at Lu Ming in surprise, and then smiled, "Come on, Lawyer Lu, let me show you something!"

He led Lu Ming to the back garden. There were several cars parked in the colored tile 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 Liang stretched out his hand, pointing to the car that had been in a car accident.

Lu Ming was puzzled at first, but when he walked closer and looked intently, he was stunned for a moment. The sunken marks seemed to have fingerprints, as if they had been punched out by someone.
