Luo Lie couldn't help but sigh: "Yes, there is a saying among us Chinese that people die for money and birds die for food. In the face of huge benefits, almost no one can control the principles and bottom line. If so, it only means that the interests are not big enough." After sighing, Luo Lie suddenly thought of Cao Bin and Dong Biao. The total number of opium with a total amount of 2,000 tons is a huge number, but the two of them controlled the principles and bottom line. Therefore, there was this problem with what he said just now, so he added: "Of course, this cannot be absolute. There are still a very small number of people who regard the principles and bottom line as larger than the sky."

Conley threw an admirational look at Luo Lie and said, "You, Nuoli, are one of them."

Luo Lie smiled and said, "The person I am talking about is not himself, but Brother Bin and Brother Biao of Anliangtang, and our chief lord. They are all people who can uphold their principles and bottom lines. Of course, I also hope that I can do it."

Conley sighed: "No, Nuoli, you shouldn't use the word hope. In fact, you have done it. I can see that your determination to hijack the judge in court is extremely firm. Not everyone can do this kind of righteousness. However, Nuoli, I still want to advise you to give up this idea? I would rather be in prison for twenty years than lose your friend."

Luo Lie turned his face sideways, glanced at Conley, smiled, and said, "Why are you bringing back the topic? I just brag about myself, and I hope I can also be a person who can stick to principles and bottom lines. You have to convince me to give up the principles and bottom lines. Conley, I now doubt whether you are my friend?"

Conley explained with a smile: "I just expressed my true thoughts, Noli, you should understand mine."

Luo Lie said: "Don't worry, no matter how big the matter I committed, I will not be sent to the gallows."

Conley was stunned and said, "Are you ready to escape from prison?"

Luo Lie smiled and said, "Why don't you guess I've bribed the judge and the jury?"

Conley shook his head and said, "Impossible! This case is so big, who dares to accept your money? However, if you can hire the most powerful lawyer team, you may not be sent to the gallows. After all, your behavior still has something to be forgiven."

Luo Lie let go of the steering wheel, made a pause gesture, and said, "Stop this question, otherwise, my hands would not be put back on the steering wheel."

Conley shrugged his shoulders and stopped talking.

Luo Lie held the steering wheel again and asked, "Conley, where are you going after leaving America?"

Conley thought about it, but didn't expect a suitable place to go, so he asked, "Do you have a suitable place to recommend it to me?"

Luo Lie said: "Go to our Qing Dynasty. There, you foreigners have a very high status, and of course you still have to have money."

Finally, the court session was about to begin.

On this day, from the two candidates for governors in California to the ordinary couriers at the bottom of society, they all attached great importance to it. The two candidates and their campaign team naturally need not be said, and the final verdict of the case also determines their election results. The election results involve the interests of people from all classes, and the curiosity that everyone cannot overcome, so the trial results of this case are all waiting for.

What's even more ridiculous is that Kingsoft Mafia, led by George Gambino, actually opened a gambling deal for the people of the city. Mafia was the banker and bought Anliangtang Cao Bin for one and a 1.5 penalty for one and a 1.3 penalty for one and a 1.3 penalty for one and a 1.3 penalty for one and a 1.3 penalty for one and a 1.3 penalty for one and a 1.3 reason for this very immature gambling deal. This very immature gambling deal showed George's obvious attitude. He firmly believed that Cao Bin was not guilty, and he firmly believed that Cao Bin must have the ability to turn the tables. Just half a day after the market was opened, George was forced to close the market. He was not afraid of too many people being guilty of buying Cao Bin, but was afraid that too many people being guilty of buying Cao Bin. As the news came out, the entire Chinatown seemed to have been dispatched, and the team was in a row, and almost everyone was buying Cao Bin for nothing.

Because the case is tried publicly, citizens are allowed to be reviewed in court, but the number of people with expressions is too large. The court had no choice but to draw lots to determine who can be qualified to enter the court for review. This is definitely the first time in Kingsoft's history.

The two candidates naturally did not have to participate in the lottery, but the court strictly limited the number of people they had to watch, and each candidate could only bring four team members into the court. Wu Houdun made a contribution again. He rushed for three days and three nights day and night to make two "human skin" masks and two sets of wigs that he helped Luo Lie and Conley follow Adam Breson to enter the court smoothly.

As the accuser, Eston naturally had to be present, and two police officers accompanied Eston. As the main participant in the encirclement, Cooper was arranged to sit on the other end of the accusation seat.

In Kingsoft, no lawyer was optimistic about Cao Bin, so no lawyer would volunteer to be Cao Bin's defense lawyer. It might even cost a lot of money to hire a lawyer to defend Cao Bin. But this was not a problem. Adam Braeson made an arrangement when he arranged for Luo Lie to go from Los Angeles to New York to find Director Arnold's help. That's right, he arranged for the assistant who accompanied Luo Lie to New York with him. Although he was younger, only 35 or 36 years old, he was a famous lawyer in Los Angeles named Clarence.

With the help of that trip to New York, Clarence had fully understood the case. Then, he followed Chinatown with the opportunity of Adam Braisson to Chinatown. With the help of Lu Yao, he stayed in Chinatown without knowing it, met Dong Biao, and had a further detailed understanding of what happened that day.

Half an hour before the trial was opened, Clarence arrived at the court with one of his assistants and sat in the defense lawyer's seat.

Eston, Cooper and his gang were also ready for the trial.

These days, they have devoted all their efforts to investigate the whereabouts of Ballmer and his son, but they have not achieved ideal results. One night before the trial, Eston blocked the three-kilometer radius of the court in the name of maintaining the order of the court to protect the safety of the court, and sent all his confidants to swear to keep Ballmer and his son out of the court. Cooper and Stander also sent their own descendants, wandering around the court in plain clothes, closely monitoring everyone. Once the Chinese faces were found, they had to conduct a strict investigation, because they concluded that those who wanted to bring Ballmer and his son into the court must be from Anliangtang.

At 10:00 a.m., 12 jury members entered the court one after another. Not long after they settled, the clerk's physical evidence manager and other staff members entered the venue.

At about ten o'clock, the justice with a serious expression made a grand appearance, and the trial of the case officially began.

After the judge sat down, he immediately announced that he would bring the suspect Cao Bin to court.

Since the day he was arrested, Cao Bin was always detained in the police station. Eston did not torture Cao Bin because he knew very well that any trauma would cause adverse accusations against him in court. But Eston tortured Cao Bin a lot, such as not allowing him to sleep, and for example, he had cut off water and fasting for several days. Thanks to Cao Bin having a very good connection in the police station. These people were carrying Eston on their backs, and they were as good as possible to handle Cao Bin. Otherwise, it would be hard to say whether Cao Bin could hold on.

After that direct confrontation between candidates for the two parties, the court and the police station could not withstand the pressure. It was announced that the trial would be held a week later. Cao Bin was taken from the police station to the detention center designated by the court. There, he finally lived a few days like a little man.

Under the escort of two bailiffs, Cao Bin walked into the court.

Cao Bin's steps seemed very difficult, but every step he took gave people a certain sense of firmness. His face looked haggard, but his spirit was vigorous and vigorous. His eye sockets had collapsed, but his eyes were still deep and bright. He had not had a haircut for nearly a month, and the black hair was not good, but Cao Bin was still neatly combed, but the beard on his lips was a little messy, which made Cao Bin look a little sloppy.

Luo Lie, who was sitting next to Adam Breson, immediately had red eyes.

As the representative of the accused, Eston first explained the case process to the judge, and then presented various physical evidence collected at the explosion site, including confessions from many police and military personnel, grenade fragments, captured firearms of brother Anliang, and subsequent photos of the scene taken. Finally, Eston concluded: "From the scene and the process of the case, this group of riots is indeed preparing to carry out a riot. Police personnel arrived in time with the support of the military to prevent the spread and deterioration of the riot. The police believe that as the leader of this group of riots, Tom Cao, the owner of Kingsoft Anliang Hall, is responsible for instigating, organizing, and creating riots. The facts of the crime are clear and the evidence is conclusive. Please ask the judge and all the jurors to observe clearly."

The justice was expressionless and said in a deep voice: "Please ask the defense lawyer to state the defense statement."

Clarence stood up, gave a salute to the judge's bench, then to the jury bench, then turned his body back, and said to the judge: "Judge, before I declare my defense statement, I want to ask for help from this court. I have an important witness to ask, but this person has a special identity and I cannot invite him to the court as a defense lawyer. In order to make the trial of this case more fair, I urge the judge to invite this important witness to the court in the name of the court."

Because it was a public trial and the case attracted the attention of the two candidates, the judge naturally did not dare to neglect it, and even had to deal with every reasonable request put forward by both the prosecution and the defense impartially.

The judge pondered for a moment and asked, "Defense lawyer, what special identity does the witness you mentioned have?"

Clarence responded in a deep voice: "He is Brigadier General Stander of the Federal Navy, and he is also a classmate of the prosecution Director Eston and Colonel Cooper during the military academy."

As soon as these words came out, a noise could not be heard from the court seat.

Eston and Cooper on the accusation table were startled as Clarence spoke. When Clarence spoke Stander's name, the two of them calmed down. The other party was just bluffing, and they could not grasp the real evidence. Any suspicion and inquiries in court would be included in the defense lawyer's false accusation against federal soldiers. What are they afraid of him?

The judge rang the gavel and shouted in a deep voice: "Silent, ladies and gentlemen, please stay calm!"

After the court returned to its quiet state, the judge ruled: "In view of the principle of fairness, justice and openness, this court agreed to the request of the defense lawyer. Please ask the bailiff of this court to go to the military port where Brigadier General Stander is located and invite Brigadier Stander to the court." Instead, he said to Clarence: "Defense lawyer, can you state your defense statement now?"

Clarence saluted the judge again and then stated: "The case statements stated by the accuser are basically true. An Liangtang, controlled by the suspect Tom Cao, sent 31 members to Chinatown on the day of the incident, and the leader was Jack Dong. At around 5:40 am that day, after Jack Dong invited the residents of the courtyard where the incident occurred, he ordered his subordinates to throw two rounds of more than 30 grenades into the courtyard. At this point, I must stop and raise a question."

The judge replied: "Defense lawyer, please ask your questions."

Clarence glanced at the accusation table, then looked around the trial table, and finally faced the judge, asking, "Why did Dong Jack call out the residents in the courtyard and throw grenades at an empty courtyard?"

Eston argued uncontrollably: "They were doing a drill before the riot!"

The judge stopped Eston in time and said, "Please accuse Fang Anjing. Now is the time for the defense lawyer to make statements. Defense lawyer, please continue your statement."

Clarence continued: "The police have not been able to arrest Jack Dong so far. In the investigation of this case, I can only rely on some photos to understand Jack Dong. Six days ago, when I was conducting a live investigation in Chinatown, I met a person who looked very much like Jack Dong. He told me that although all the residents in the courtyard were out, the courtyard was not empty, and there was a killer hidden there. I asked him, why did the killer hide in that courtyard? The person who looked very similar to Jack Dong replied to me that the residents in this courtyard were a mistress of Jack Dong, and the killer hid in it was to assassinate Jack Dong."

The judge said: "Defense lawyer, have you brought this person to court and listed as a witness?"

Clarence stroked his chest with one hand, bowed to the judge, and said, "Report to the judge, I am willing to take him to the court as a testimony, but he refused me, because since the incident, there have always been a group of unknown people inquiring about Jack Dong's whereabouts. He was worried that his life would be threatened, so he refused to leave his hiding place. Judge, I think there are two possibilities for this matter. One is that the person who looks very much like Jack Dong is pretending to Jack Dong, and Jack Dong is really dead in the joint encirclement of the military and police, and the other is that the person is Jack Dong himself. Before I make further statements, I beg the judge to allow me to ask the accuser that he had found Jack Dong's body among the suspects shot dead by the police?"

At the gesture of Eston, a paralegal from the police department raised his hand and shouted: "The accuser objected!"

The judge turned his attention to the accused and said: "The objection is invalid. Please answer the question from the defense lawyer."

The assistant took a deep breath and replied helplessly: "No Jack Dong's body was found among the nineteen thugs killed."

Clarence then asked, "So, is there any Jack Dong of the seven suspects captured seriously injured?"

The assistant replied angrily: "There is no Jack Dong himself, the judge, the accuser believes..."

Clarence interrupted the assistant and said, "Thank you for your answer, now, you can sit down."

As long as the barrister from a big city does not deliberately restrain himself, he will naturally exude a strong aura. The accuser's assistant's defense is not in line with the process and is suppressed by Clarence's aura. He actually shut up and sat down obediently. At this point, Eston and Cooper did not feel nervous. They knew that even if the defense lawyer brought Jack to court, it would not have much effect. The confession from a suspect would not be adopted by the court.

The judge also knew it well, but in order to make the people watching the trial and countless people outside the court pay attention to the trial, he believed that the trial indeed adhered to the principle of fairness, fairness and openness, and he also deliberately gave in to the defense lawyer in such a trivial link. Clarence also grasped the judge's mentality and did not rush to get to the key points at the beginning, but was patiently laying the groundwork. One was to lay a solid foundation, and the other was to wait for the court to invite Stander to the public.

"Mr. Judge, what I want to say is that even if that person is Jack Dong himself, there are still two possibilities. One is that he is lying and covering up his crimes. The other is that he is telling the truth, there is really a killer hidden in the courtyard." Clarence left the seat, turned his body to the auditor's seat, bowed deeply, then turned around and continued: "The laws of the holy United States of America stipulate that citizens' lives and legal property cannot be violated. If there is really a killer hidden in that courtyard, even if the residents of that courtyard have no relationship with Jack Dong, then, can Jack Dong and his men attack the courtyard, its nature can be considered a riot?"

Eston raised his hand to object, saying: "The accuser objected, the judge, and the defense lawyer are making an assumption that mislead the public. From the scene of the crime, there is no such thing as a so-called killer hiding at the scene of the crime. In this regard, the police and many military personnel involved in quelling the riot have confessions."

The judge nodded and said, "The objection is valid. Please ask the defense lawyer to avoid hypothetical issues in the statement."

Clarence smiled indifferently and said, "Since the accuser insisted that the killer did not exist, then the matter returned to the question I just asked, why did Jack Dong attack an empty courtyard? This courtyard is precisely the residence of his mistress. From a reasonable point of view, there is a big question. If this question is not answered clearly, the defense lawyer believes that the charge of Jack Dong's crime of creating riots in this case cannot be established, and all the charges against the suspect Tom Cao in this case cannot be established. After my statement is completed, please ask the judge and all the jurors to understand it."

The noise of people whispering again came from the auditorium.

The judge sounded the gavel again and said, "Silent, please keep calm. After the statements between the prosecution and the defense have been completed, our court announced an adjournment of fifteen minutes, and then entered the debate stage between the prosecution and the defense."

A new factory was built about Sanli Road to the southeast of Chinatown. A sign was hung at the gate, Kingsoft Dahua Special Glass Products Factory. The factory building has been completed and the equipment is basically in place. It is in the trial production and debugging stage. Therefore, there are not many workers in the factory, which seems a bit deserted.

After the factory, many rows of bungalows were built, which were employee dormitories prepared for the factory workers. After the dormitory, there was a mountain bun. The production of glass required many raw materials, such as quartz sand, borax, etc., but some auxiliary materials such as limestone were indispensable. The mountain bun contained a lot of limestone components, which was also the main reason why Cao Bin finally set up the factory here. Through this dormitory area, there was a small path leading to the top of the mountain, and a simple hut was built on the back of the top of the mountain. This hut was very similar to the foothold of the mountain protector, but there was a special person living inside.

Six days ago, Lu Yao brought Clarence from Chinatown here and met Dong Biao.

"Lao Lu, is the person you arranged to come back?" Dong Biao's leg injury improved, but there was still a long process before he could go downstairs and walked. At this moment, he could only lie honestly on the bamboo bed.

Lu Yao shook his head and said, "How can it be that fast? The court will start at 10 o'clock in the morning. Now it is not yet eleven o'clock. Even if the brother met Brother Bin as soon as the court opened, it will be twelve o'clock when he came back."

Dong Biao sighed, "I don't know how Brother Bin is. In this month, Eston's day-long life must have tortured Brother Bin a lot."

Lu Yao said: "If the court can be held smoothly, it means that Brother Bin has no big problem. A Biao, you can lie down and recover from your injuries with peace of mind."

Dong Biao smiled bitterly and said, "Do you think I don't want to feel at ease? Lao Lu, tell me the truth, can you feel at ease?"

Lu Yao said sadly: "If you want to be at ease, that's a nonsense! However, as you said, you must have confidence in that boy Luo Lie. Last time I set up a trap for Geng Han, because there were Brother Bin and you on it. I just felt that this boy was more shocking than other brothers. I didn't think it was anything special in other aspects, but this time, I can see that Brother Bin's vision is indeed vicious!"

Dong Biao smiled and said, "Then tell me, why is Brother Bin's vision so vicious?"

Lu Yao said: "This kid does not hide his cleverness at all. He doesn't seem to be very cunning, but in fact, he uses his cleverness to cover up his great wisdom. His cleverness is obviously deeper than you and me. Just this alone has a very family-oriented meaning."

Dong Biao sighed: "If he doesn't do this, he will not be able to get closer to the brothers in the hall. In the hall, his qualifications are a little shallow."

Lu Yao said: "That's not the case. I won't argue with you for the time being. Let me say the second point. If such a big thing happens, even I will be panicked and at a loss, but this kid doesn't. Except when he came to see you that night, when he saw you look like a bear, the kid felt a little emotional, and then he seemed to be nothing. The word "light and heavy" is easy to say, but it's really difficult to do. I can't do it, and it's hard to do it. I used to think that only Brother Bin could do it, but now it seems that Luo Lie is no less than Brother Bin."

Dong Biao sighed and said, "Yes, at this point, even I was quite surprised by him."

Lu Yao continued: "It is precisely because of this that when you say you want to believe Luo Lie, I have no doubts at all. A Biao, for more than 20 years, who else can make me Lu Yao so convinced? Even the chief master of the chief has not been able to do it!"

Dong Biao smiled and said, "The master of the headquarters is not the same as us. How can you convince you?"

Lu Yao shook his head slightly and said, "It's not just this reason! I always feel that there is a little less courage to sacrifice one's life for justice in the head of the main hall."

Dong Biao smiled wickedly and said, "Then you mean the chief master is not righteous enough? It's okay, Lao Lu, I won't say it. If you can get me a cigarette, I may not remember what you said just now."

Lu Yao glared and shouted, "I just said that the master of the chief lord Luo Lie is not righteous, what's wrong? I'm afraid you can't go out and chew my tongue?" However, Lu Yao still took a cigarette for Dong Biao and lit it.

Dong Biao smoked happily, and he didn't even bother to talk back to Lu Yao. Then he said seriously: "You said three points. To be honest, I agree with these three points, but, this kid has a big problem..."

Lu Yao didn't let Dong Biao finish his words and intercepted him: "That's not a problem. Brother Bin is much more than him. When he meets a girl who can move him again, this problem will naturally disappear!"

Dong Biao was stunned for a moment and grinned, "That's true!"
To be continued...
