my wife is a consul

Chapter 86 Long Arm Jurisdiction

In the hearing court, Judge Christine, sitting high on the judge's seat, wore a black judge's robe, which also gave her a special aura of authority.

Lu Ming looked at her, feeling a little helpless.

It's been a bit unlucky recently, I can meet her in the hearings, and I don't know if I came to find fault on purpose.

In one breath, Lu Ming wanted to send more than a dozen Dongying people and companies to the dock.

Today is the day of the presiding judge's hearing to see whether the economic dispute is established or not.

The first defendant, Kato Shio, is the younger brother of Gui Linghua's late husband Kato Sanlu.

He is also the main implementer of transferring property.

He was the one who responded most actively. At this moment, his small eyes were fixed on Lu Ming, with an indescribably gloomy expression on his face.

Kato Shio's representative lawyer, Kawashima Qi, is also a six-dan barrister and a native of the East China Sea. The Kawashima Firm he founded is quite famous in economic lawsuits.

Lu Ming was also looking at Qi Kawashima, in his 50s, with a little bald hair, looking rustic, and wearing cheap kimonos, wrinkled like a roadside stall.

Next to him, there was a sudden chuckle, but it was Tie Xiaojia as an assistant.

Seeing Lu Ming looking over, Tie Xiaojia whispered, "Master, this old farmer is very interesting."

Lu Ming shook his head, those who like to express their individuality with outlandish clothes are either very informative or put on airs.

But being able to become a sixth-tier barrister presumably is due to the relationship between the former.

On the judge's bench, Christine flipped through the plaintiff's indictment, glanced at Lu Ming who was whispering with her apprentice, and frowned slightly.

"Plaintiff, the lawsuit and the injunction you filed this time are ridiculous!" Christine shook her head and picked up the gavel, obviously intending to rule that the case was not established.

"Your Excellency, please give me a minute to explain the reason!" Lu Ming hurriedly stood up.

On the other side, Qi Kawashima stood up like an old farmer in the country: "In court, I also think this lawsuit is absurd. Most of the property that the plaintiff requested to freeze is in the bank account and company name of the Kingdom of Yingzhou. Even if the plaintiff wants to To file a lawsuit, you should also go to the court in Yingzhou."

Christine nodded slightly and raised the gavel.

"My lord, one minute!" Lu Ming raised his finger, looking pitiful.

Christine glared at him, and slowly lowered the gavel.

"It is such an adult, although the property that Miss Gui Linghua should inherit has been transferred to Yingzhou by the defendant, but this case is first of all an inheritance case. Miss Gui Linghua has lived in the East China Sea for more than ten years. The inheritance that was to be inherited is also in the East China Sea, so Miss Gui Linghua filed an inheritance lawsuit in the local court, and the court should support it."

"However, these properties are no longer in the East China Sea!" Kawashima said slowly, "Yingzhou has the laws of Yingzhou, and the empire also recognizes the authority of the laws of Yingzhou in the local area, right?"

Lu Ming nodded: "Your words are correct, but your honor, according to the Goddess of Justice, Queen Alice allowed all levels of courts to be established in the kingdom thousands of years ago, and in the Gryffind Kingdom Code of Laws concluded, there is a saying, 'The world In Datong, all ethnic groups are equal, and any injustice can be appealed in courts at all levels'. This code is also the cornerstone of our current constitution, which is equivalent to the status of the First Amendment. Therefore, although the Kingdom of Yingzhou and our Kingdom are closely related It is a federal body with the same status as the Commonwealth, 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. Right to justice!"

Judge Christine frowned immediately.

Kawashima was also stunned, "What nonsense are you talking about? What qualifications do you have to judge the affairs of the Kingdom of Yingzhou and the local court of the Kingdom of Griffin?"

Obviously, regardless of being born in Donghai and growing up in Donghai, people are still Dongying people, and their hearts are also Dongying hearts.

Lu Ming looked at him: "What do you mean, Queen Alice's hadith a thousand years ago is fart? The cornerstone of our empire's law is nonsense? The First Amendment is a show?!"

Kawashima was stunned immediately, this guy, dare to say that about Queen Alice?
Judge Christine frowned on the judge's bench, picked up the gavel and tapped: "Plaintiff's lawyer, please pay attention to your words!"

"Good Your Honor, I apologize for my unscrupulous words!" Lu Ming bowed slightly.

As she pondered, Christine said slowly: "I need time to think about this case, but I agree with some of the points put forward by the plaintiff. I will issue a temporary injunction order and notify the relevant people and companies in Yingzhou to temporarily freeze the property involved in the case."

"I protest!" Kawashima was shocked. He thought the case was absurd, but he didn't want to, and got the judge's support.

"Adjournment, whether this court has jurisdiction or not, I will make a final decision at three o'clock in the afternoon!" Christine completely ignored Qi Kawashima, knocked the gavel, and left the table.

Kawashima had no choice but to stand up with everyone, watching Christine enter the side door from the back.

When Judge Christine disappeared completely and the court was free to move around, Qi Kawashima looked at Lu Ming: "You are all ridiculous!"

However, Lu Ming coughed. If this long-armed jurisdiction can be used by himself, it would be very sour.

……

In the restaurant of the court, the food is very average.

Lu Ming took his eldest apprentice, his second apprentice, and Gui Linghua to sit at a small wooden table, and casually took some sandwiches, milk and the like.

The hearing was over and it was almost lunch time, so I simply took the two apprentices around here to feel the atmosphere of the court.

"Master, you are so powerful, our court, once you say it, can take care of the affairs of Dongying people?!" Tie Xiaojia praised with admiration all over his face.

Gui Linghua rolled her eyes in her heart, this manly woman knows how to wag her tail for her master every day, and likes to ignore others.

But then he thought of Kato Yoshio's gloomy eyes in court, and couldn't help shivering.

"Miss Gui Linghua, don't worry, when 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 origin, and start living with a new identity. Promises will be kept.”

Coming to the court and facing the members of the Kato family, the biggest variable now is Katsura Aya, if she retreats, everything will be in vain.

Therefore, Lu Ming kept observing her expression.

"Mr. Lu, I understand, thank you!" Gui Linghua felt a little more at ease. This lawyer Lu seemed to have a rather simple background, probably no worse than the Kato family, and was surrounded by patrolmen for 24-hour protection.

Lu Ming also noticed it, and Gui Linghua glanced at the patrolmen at the table next to him.

I know what she's thinking, but I won't say it myself.

Moreover, it is also a deterrent to the Kato family. After all, the uniform of the state violence machine still makes people think twice.

However, the original protection plan for himself was one month, but now, it has been extended again.

The main patrol department really doesn't want this good job to end. Every patrolman who has his turn to protect himself is very happy, and even for whoever protects more for one day and who for less protection for one day, people's heads are like dogs.

The Patrol Division found all kinds of excuses to report and extend the time. The chiefs of the bureau turned a blind eye and closed their eyes. Who told Lawyer Lu to be ordered at the right time, especially, protecting Lawyer Lu might take a long time. It is not certain that someone will donate an extra car to the bureau.

Thinking of this, Lu Ming shook his head. In this era, it is hard to describe.

　Thank you comrades for your enthusiastic support this week, and it’s a new week, please ask for all kinds of tickets!
