My head feels dizzy.
Yesterday, Han Anni still didn’t accept her invitation. Then, she didn’t know why she drank too much alone, and she didn’t know how she got home or fell asleep.
All kinds of strange images came to me, my own, others’, men, women, high-rise buildings, bungalows, rivers, old-fashioned buses, convertible jeeps, black box TVs from the 1950s, Record dance hall, blah blah blah.
It seems like I am dreaming, or like a slideshow flashing in my mind.
“Dang”, the sound of a gavel in a courtroom.
Lu Ming sat up straight as a reflex and looked around blankly.
“Defendant, be careful with your words and deeds. Don’t make strange moves in this court. Otherwise, I will sentence you to contempt of court!”
This is a very old-fashioned courtroom that can only be seen in movies and TV dramas, probably in the style of the 1940s and 1950s.
The witness box is still surrounded by a wooden fence.
The speaker was the middle one of the three judges sitting on the bench, but he was a hook-nosed foreigner, a short, thin old man in his fifties.
At this time, he was looking at himself majestically, pointing at himself and speaking.
Lu Ming looked around. It seemed that a certain case was being heard here.
My seat should be the dock. On the right is a beautiful young woman wearing a classic skirt. On the left is a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes, wearing gold-rimmed glasses. In front of him The table card is the word “Defender”.
On the right, where the prosecutor’s seat is, there is a row of police officers wearing black police uniforms.
In the back, there were rows of long wooden chairs, and the people sitting and listening seemed to be celebrities, all dressed in extraordinary manners.
On the far right in the front, it looks like there is a jury position. There are eight or nine jurors, including men, women and children.
Where is this? Are you making a movie? Or some short video clip?
Lu Ming rubbed his eyes. He was very sure that this was not a dream, because in the dream, when he rubbed his eyes, he never expected such a clear touch.
The Western judge in the court nodded to the prosecutor’s seat and said, “Prosecution, you can continue!”
Immediately a graceful female police officer stood up and said in a cold voice, “The first defendant and the second defendant…”
The prosecutor wears a police uniform? Lu Minggang was startled, what kind of genius director is this?
Hearing the female police officer’s voice, he was suddenly startled and looked up suddenly.
But I saw that the female police officer had picturesque features and beautiful features. She looked even more heroic in her black police officer uniform and had a different kind of style.
Isn’t it Han Anni?
At this moment, Han Anni’s pretty face was full of indignation, and she was using extremely bad words such as “despicable” and “shameless” to describe the first and second defendants.
Suddenly, she turned sideways and pointed at herself and the beautiful young woman beside her, “It can be said that the first defendant and the second defendant are a pair of adulterers!”
“Objection! I object to the prosecution using abusive words to describe my client!” The “defender” beside Lu Ming stood up and habitually tapped the frame of his gold-rimmed glasses with his finger.
Lu Ming was dumbfounded. Is he the “first defendant” whom she fiercely criticized? What about the “second defendant”?
Lu Ming looked at the extremely beautiful classical beauty sitting next to him on the left. Is this the “second defendant”?
She and I are adulterers**?
“The objection is valid…” the judge in the court responded lazily.
“I take back what I just said. The first defendant and the second defendant have delayed the case for a long time. If they don’t have new witnesses, I request that closing arguments be made today!” Han Anni bowed slightly to several judges.
Lu Ming stood up suddenly: “Han Anni, what are you doing?! Where are you?”
This scene is really strange.
There was suddenly silence in the court, and everyone looked at Lu Ming like a monster.
Han Anni stared at Lu Ming with disgust.
“Silence, first defendant, sit down!” It took the judge in the court a while to come to his senses and immediately banged the gavel.
Several ferocious bailiffs in black had surrounded him to arrest him. Lu Ming wanted to resist, but suddenly found that he was extremely weak. He was pressed on the seat like a penis, handcuffed and legcuffed, and even his mouth was Block with cloth.
Han Anni has already walked back. She is the second-in-command of the prosecution. In the main control position, there is an extremely handsome male police officer with a graceful demeanor and an air of elegance.
At this time he stood up and said, “In court, I request that the first defendant be imprisoned immediately, while the prosecution and defense make closing arguments!”
The three judges on the high bench were discussing among themselves.
Lu Ming was filled with depression. Isn’t this illegal confinement and personal injury?
Struggling hard, suddenly, I felt a needle being inserted into my head. The pain was extremely painful. The slideshow of various images appeared again, flashing in front of my eyes.
“In court, the first defendant seems to be amiss. I request a temporary adjournment…”
“Your Honor, the other party is stalling for time again…”
Lu Ming felt like the world was spinning, and everything here was gradually moving away from him.
……
The lounge next to the trial court,
Lu Ming sat silently.
Just now I saw Lu Ming foaming at the mouth and fainting. The judge finally decided to adjourn the court for an hour.
The doctor just left and said that Lu Ming was fine, but he had smoked too much and his bones were too weak, so he occasionally fainted.
A few people were sitting at the round table in the lounge. Lu Ming’s defense lawyer, the one with gold-rimmed glasses, was named Xie Wenquan, who came from Dazhou in the provincial capital.
No one spoke at the moment.
Finally, Lu Ming picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip of tea.
The tea was cold, with a hint of coldness in his stomach. Lu Ming knew that he could only accept this reality.
Slides are fragments of “myself” memories in this world.
This is probably some kind of parallel world, a federal empire composed of many races and five major federations.
This is a small city on the northern border of the empire.
I am a second generation ancestor who can eat, drink, whore, gamble and smoke.
The name is also Lu Ming.
Now, he is accused of conspiring with the victim’s concubine to kill the victim.
According to the laws of this world, once convicted, he must be hanged.
The victim was well-known and was the leader of the Shuanglong Association, the largest social organization in the city, Long Daxing, known as Dragon Lord.
Is he really an adulterer?
Lu Ming looked helplessly at the beautiful woman sitting timidly at the round table.
I am an adulterer, she is a **…
I just looked at Han Anni,
Looking at her carefully at this time, I have to say that she is really a peerless beauty. She is naturally charming. She wears an exquisite red silk jacket and a green satin skirt. From the skirt, a pair of pointed and attractive small embroidered shoes are faintly revealed.
The snow-white jade hands with sleeves exposed, and the long nails on the ten fingers are actually painted in a rare bright rose black. She is indeed a charming woman who has seen the world. The rare black gem-like manicure in this era brings visual difficulties to men. The stimulation of words is extremely charming and captivates people’s hearts.
She is also extremely beautiful, with an easily breakable pink oval face, eyebrows and eyes that are all charming.
At this time, the coquettishness and timidity made the man feel protective and have the urge to bully her.
A beauty is a disaster, that’s how you describe her, right?
And Han Anni’s delicate beauty are two extremes.
Zhen’s family, Zhen Hanzhu.
The cash cow of Wangshanlou, the largest brothel in the city, was cultivated by the owner from a small number of young people.
A young man who does not sell his life, he plays the pipa to perfection, sings like the sounds of nature, and dances like a fairy from the Nine Heavens.
Li Mingxuan, the most famous young talent in the city and the prosecutor in this case, fell in love with her at first sight.
Swore to redeem her life and marry her as his wife.
Everyone in the city’s upper class knows about this.
How can the owner of Wangshan Tower sell a swan that lays golden eggs? The price quoted is astronomical.
Li Mingxuan could only ask everywhere, and he seemed to have borrowed money from loan sharks, but he could not get the redemption money.
Then, Long Daxing, Lord Long, cut off the beard in the middle, threatened the owner of Wangshan Tower, and half forced and half bought the Zhen family back home.
But I really didn’t conspire with her to murder Master Long.
Because Long Ye forced her to buy her as a gift to him.
Who said that Li Mingxuan and himself had been enemies since childhood? The two families also fought fiercely, and Mr. Long obviously deliberately humiliated the other party.
Long Ye’s family is his family’s family friend. For several generations, the ancestors of the Long family were his family’s servants before they became successful.
Because relatives around him have died one after another in the past few years, Master Long has become his elder and takes good care of himself.
Unexpectedly, something happened on the day Lord Long sent Zhen to him.
I still remember that Mr. Long invited me to his manor and asked the maid to invite Mrs. Zhen out. He said with a smile: “Young Master, you know that I have been practicing boy kung fu since I was a child. How could I have such thoughts? I see this Miss Zhen is good. Master, you don’t have anyone around you to ask for help, so let her be your foot-washing maid!”
His voice and smile are still before my eyes, but he is dead.
His driver took him and Zhen home. As a result, he collided with a police detective riding a bicycle on the road.
Long Ye’s driver insulted the police detective, and the detective angrily searched the car. From the trunk, he found Long Ye’s body and the murder weapon. Later, it was found that the murder weapon had his own fingerprints on it.
In this way, he and Mrs. Zhen became the adulterers who murdered Long Ye and were taken to court.
The driver of Master Long became a tainted witness.
Lu Ming was thinking about the case, replaying everything that day in his mind like a picture.
This is his talent, innate.
……
There were many people in the lounge, but the atmosphere was depressing and no one spoke.
Lu Ming understands.
Xie Wenquan used the procrastination technique. He didn’t say it clearly, but it was obvious that procrastinating for one day would allow him to live one more day.
But there will always be a time when a case can no longer be dragged on. A few months have passed, and today is the day for closing arguments and jury deliberations.
I probably won’t live for a few more days. Everyone in the room knew this, so no one said anything.
Xie Wenquan is obviously in a bad mood. This case has been lost, but the cruel reality is that so far, he has not been able to find any reasonable grounds for appeal. Even if he appeals, it will probably be dismissed quickly.
After the provincial high court confirms, he should be hanged soon. According to normal procedures, he will not survive more than a month.
Not to mention, if he is imprisoned, it is said in the prison that the Double Dragon Society has sent many thugs in long ago. They can’t wait for the day when they are hanged. As long as they are imprisoned today, their lives will be over.
Everyone in the room knew this.
The two loyal servants Lu Zhong and Jin Baoer standing nearby were wiping away tears.
Lu Zhong is the housekeeper and the general manager of the Lu family’s industry. He helps him take care of his business, but his ability is limited. In addition, he can’t go against the idea of patting himself on the forehead, so he can only delay, but cannot prevent the rapid decline of the Lu family’s wealth. .
Jin Baoer, with thick black hair and many scars on his chest exposed in his undershirt, was the playmate and bodyguard given to him by Master Long since childhood.
As Lord Long’s closed disciple, he is the only one who still believes that he is definitely not the murderer, but he is also regarded as a traitor by the Double Dragon Society.
Looking at Xie Wenquan, Lu Ming suddenly asked: “What is the name of the female police officer sitting in the second seat of the prosecution? Where is she from?”
Everyone in the room was stunned.
Master Lu’s focus is always so strange.
People who are dying, but still only have eyes for beautiful women.
Xie Wenquan looked helpless, “Didn’t you call out her name? Han Anni, I heard that she came from the provincial department to train. She is very powerful at a young age. Therefore, the prosecution often asked her to take the lead and rush to grab the ball. Chief Li Mingxuan’s limelight.”
Lu Ming nodded. In this world, prosecutors and police have not officially separated. The police station has a special prosecution department to prosecute criminal cases.
Han Annie……
The names are all the same?
But she is obviously not like herself. She is possessed by a soul, but why did she meet her? Is it a coincidence?
Or, just like some parallel world theories, everyone exists in countless different worlds?
“Master Lu, don’t think about anything else. I’ll find a way to delay this one more time. You can eat something delicious tonight…” Xie Wenquan’s voice was a little bitter. He really couldn’t save his master from this mess, so he could only be tactful. I told this pretty good young man to enjoy his last moments.
It turns out that Lu Zhong, the housekeeper of the Lu family, paid a lot of money to hire his master, Donald, the Western Grand Master, who was also the first in the provincial capital.
But half a month ago, seeing that the lawsuit was destined to be lost, Donald suddenly claimed to be ill and sent his proud disciple to take over, so as not to affect his super high winning rate.
Xie Wenquan also understands this in his heart.
After listening to Xie Wenquan’s words, Lu Ming nodded and looked at his pocket watch, “There’s still some time. Come on, show me the trial files of this case, including the testimony of the prosecution’s main witness. I’ll take a look. Look…”
In the memory fragments, there are some memories of what I learned in this world. The laws here are similar to the ocean laws of my own world. I pay attention to precedents, but many legal concepts should be in their infancy and have not yet reached their own world. So perfect.
Take a look for yourself and see if you can help yourself?
Xie Wenquan was stunned, thinking, can you understand?
But at this time, he can do whatever he wants.
Xie Wenquan nodded to the clerk next to him, who hurriedly looked through the court records and the testimony that Lu Ming wanted to see.
On the table, there were several legal magazines published by the Imperial City. Lu Ming saw a title on the cover of the latest issue, his eyes lit up, and he picked it up and took a closer look.
