my wife is a consul

Chapter 96 The Beginning of the Showdown

In the reception room of Room 408, outside the floor-to-ceiling glass windows, the green grassy hillside, the afterglow of the setting sun forms a wonderful halo.

Opposite Lu Ming, sat the big head, a big man with thick earrings on his ears and hideous tattoos on his neck. The expression on his face was a little excited.

He even wore a grass-green military uniform and black leather boots with big heads, but without the epaulets and the rank marked as a private, it was a civilian attire.

Datou has always dreamed of being a professional soldier.

Being forced to retire should be the most painful thing in his heart.

But now, Lu Ming gave him a chance to re-enlist in the army and act as a liaison officer for Lu Ming, an army lawyer.

Lu Ming didn't expect that the big head agreed so happily. At this time, looking at the big head, he was even more concerned about gains and losses, because the appointed time was already past, and the senior officer who came to interview him hadn't come yet.

However, thinking that the real name of this big head is Yuan Datou, it is really speechless.

He has always used an alias, and the old ghost didn't even know his real name. Now that he wants to re-enlist in the army, he naturally has to provide his real name.

The relevant materials have already been sent to Mary. I had made an appointment with Mary to meet here at three o'clock this afternoon. She would come to interrogate the boss, but it was already past five o'clock, and Mary hadn't come yet.

Pu Xiuna knocked on the door lightly and came in, carrying a tea tray with some snacks in it.

"Have you found Mary yet?" Lu Ming asked.

Pu Xiuna nodded slightly: "I called her office and home every 10 minutes, but no one answered."

At this time, the outside doorbell rang.

Pu Xiuna trotted out, and soon cried out in surprise: "Sir, Major Mary is here!"

Soon Pu Xiuna led Mary in.

However, unlike usual, Mary was a little silent, looking very listless, haggard, and in a bad spirit, lost in spirit.

Lu Ming glanced at her, thought for a while, and then introduced the big head, "Mary, this is the big head I said, and I will be my liaison officer in the future!"

The big head also stood at attention immediately and gave a military salute. Mary was wearing a dark blue officer's uniform with the rank of major.

"Oh, okay, tomorrow, I'll ask someone to bring over my documents and military uniform." Mary glanced at Lu Ming casually, then turned to Lu Ming, "Lawyer Lu, I'm going to take a vacation for a while..." With a forced smile: "Lawsuit Forget about it, I'm too tired and want to rest."

"What happened?" Lu Ming asked calmly.

Over there, seeing Lu Ming's gesture, the big head nodded, turned around and walked out, closing the door gently.

"It's nothing..." Mary avoided Lu Ming's eyes.

Lu Ming nodded: "Okay, then I don't care about it!"

Mary was a little absent-minded, and slowly sat on the sofa, and suddenly said: "My black servant is dead..."

Lu Ming also sat down slowly.

Mary picked up the cigarette case from the coffee table, took out a cigarette from it, lit it, took two deep puffs, and coughed loudly.

Lu Ming didn't speak. At this time, talking might be counterproductive, just listen to her talk.

"She was tortured to death. This morning, someone sent me a package, which contained her severed hand, and a tape, which recorded the voice of her being tortured, and the words of those people, more than one Hours, more than an hour..."

"Over an hour... Poor little Martha..."

Mary suddenly covered her face and began to cry, lying on the coffee table, her shoulders twitched, and she sobbed.

Lu Ming silently took the tissue and handed it over.

For a long time, Mary got up slowly, wiping the tears on her face, "She, she is miserable..." There was still some fear in her eyes, thinking about it, she remembered those terrible voices in the tape, and seeing the black servant cut off. scene at hand.

Lu Ming also took out a cigarette and lit it slowly.

"Little Renault did it!" Mary gritted her teeth, "I, when I didn't know what to do, I received a call with a very hoarse voice, saying, I shouldn't let the black maid go out at will, I should Lock her up, that's the treatment that inferior black slaves should have, and said, the lawyer's letter, angered Mr. Reynolds, this is just a warning."

"On the tape, there are three white lines marked..."

Lu Ming nodded: "White Rose Movement..."

The "White Rose Movement" is the most notorious human purification organization in the world. It is much more radical than those **** organizations in his previous life, so it is also an illegal organization that is expressly prohibited by the imperial law.

It appears that Renault Jr. is also a member.

"Lawyer Lu, what should I do?" Mary looked at Lu Ming with tears in her eyes, "I called Sir Wenger, he, he made me forget about it, but, but...poor Martha... ..., I killed her... I killed her..." Mary covered her face again, sobbing softly.

"Where is the tape now?" Lu Ming asked.

"In, at my house..." Mary said casually.

"Then, now, take the big head, and give the tape and Martha's severed hand to the big head."

Mary froze and looked up.

Lu Ming showed no expression, "This matter has nothing to do with you. Don't worry, you won't be implicated. I will take back the lawyer's letter sent to the tower restaurant."

"But..." Mary wanted to say something.

Lu Ming has already taken out the check book, wrote 10000 and handed it over.

"I don't want..." Mary immediately shook her head, her eyes even a little angry, "Do you think I don't want to avenge Martha?! But, there is no little Reynolds' voice in the tape! Moreover, the tape can't be used as evidence! "

Lu Ming nodded: "Leave it to me!"

Mary stared at Lu Ming for a while, then stood up, "Okay, I'll give you the things! I also want to see what happens to them..." Gritting her teeth, she turned and walked out.

……

Before the big head left, Lu Ming told him some things. The current audio tape is as big as a record. It is wrapped on a large reel with a special plastic tape with magnetic powder. Be careful when handling it to avoid damage.

Then, after pondering for a while, he picked up the phone and dialed Cheng Lingyu's number.

"Good boy, I haven't heard from you for a long time! I heard that you made Judge Christine so angry that you couldn't stand down in court? Haha, don't be angry, why do I feel that she treats you differently?" How about treating each other with eyes? Don't really piss her off!"

"Hmm..." Lu Ming thought for a while, "Brother Cheng, there is a case where the White Rose Party tortured and killed black servants. I want to file a case and let me take the lead. You can see if it works." After a pause, " Brother Cheng, this is the first time I ask you, please help me, I will remember this favor forever."

Cheng Lingyu was obviously stunned. Based on his understanding of this young man, he didn't need to say these things about favors, but when he said them, they carried quite a lot of weight.

Afterwards, he smiled: "You boy, I haven't handled the case for you yet, so you recommended yourself, okay, I promise you! You send the relevant materials of the case, and I will assign you a team to communicate with the police! But if it’s just a black servant’s murder case, if you file the case directly with the Prosecutor’s Office, it’s a big deal, let’s use the White Rose and other illegal organizations to file the case! Leading the prosecution to ban and combat terrorist organizations is under the jurisdiction of the Grand Prosecutor’s Office.”

Lu Ming was startled, he didn't expect Cheng Lingyu to agree so happily, and what's more, he said it so dead-on.

Because, although the "White Rose" organization is explicitly prohibited by the imperial law, in fact, many Westerners do not resist this organization, and there are even many people who support and cover it secretly.

McCann, the Chief Prosecutor's Office, doesn't know what his attitude will be.

He thought that Cheng Lingyu would at most agree to try his best to help him fight for it, but who knew that he directly agreed.

"Thank you Brother Cheng!" Lu Ming's heart suddenly felt warm, and he didn't need to say it if he was grateful.

After hanging up Cheng Lingyu's call, Lu Ming thought for a while, picked up the receiver, and dialed Wei Baozeng's number.

"Ah, you still take the initiative to call me?" Wei Baozeng's tone over there was a bit "resentful".

"Bao Zeng, you didn't tell me yesterday, do you want me to accompany you to meet the employees and contracted artists of Nadu Films tomorrow?"

"Yeah, you shut the door to me right away, you, you don't want to give me half a day!" Wei Baozeng said, suddenly startled: "Do you have time?"

"Well, I'll go around with you tomorrow."

"Great, great!" Wei Baozeng was very pleasantly surprised, "If you give me some advice, it will be difficult for our film company not to be popular!" The more I got in touch with Lu Ming, the more I felt that this guy was not human at all. They know everything, and their knowledge is very advanced, and this is especially important in the film and television industry.

"I still have something to do, hang up!"

"Beep", Wei Baozeng could only shake his head with a wry smile when he heard the busy voice inside.

On the other end of the phone line, Lu Ming sat on the sofa, picked up a pen and paper, and started writing.

I can't blame myself for the death of little Martha, but in my heart, why is it like a fire, so I want to do something and vent it.

The last hour or so before she died, for this little black maid whom she had never seen before, was she in hell, right?

The doorbell rang outside, and it was Wen Liangyu who was talking to Park Xiuna.

Hearing from Pu Xiuna that there were no guests, Wen Liangyu was not polite, she just opened the door and walked in with a smile, "Qianxing, we have a distinguished guest here today, I want to see you by name!"

Lu Ming looked up: "Who?"

Wen Liangyu chuckled, "The young master of Reynolds Films, that is, the youngest son of Sir Reynolds, think about it, your fourth brother is a small place, this kind of person may not come every year, and he is so brilliant , Haha, I came to see you, right? You're making the fourth brother look old!"

Lu Ming smiled, and suddenly asked: "Fourth brother, tell me, is Renault Pictures the foundation of the Renault family now?"

Wen Liangyu was stunned for a moment, thought for a while and said: "It should be, I heard that Old Renault sold almost all of his inherited family property to invest in this film industry, but it was done very well, old Sir Renault, he still has vision, Right? Haha!"

Lu Ming nodded and got up, "Let's go, I'll meet him, and I'll give him a meeting gift for little Martha."

Wen Liangyu was startled, not knowing what Lu Ming was talking about, but she had a vague feeling that today's meeting was not a good gathering.

He deliberately walked a few steps slowly, called his cronies, and gave some instructions. In any case, there is no good choice now except for this former little brother who is now a young upstart who he can't understand at all.

These so-called knights in the corners are actually rich and rich now, aren't they?Rotten bricks, never afraid of these porcelain.

When it comes to connections, since the little brother wants to meet the right one, he naturally has a balance in his heart.

And soon, outside, many gunmen acted quickly, but this was not what the customers in the store could see.
