Chapter 364: 358 Witnessed by All of Hong Kong: Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu

Watching the back of Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu as he left, a look of fury flashed across Fang Anxin's face; she was incredibly angry! At the same time, there was also anxiety.

If she couldn't handle Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu, then she couldn't handle ATV, and if she couldn't handle ATV, the public opinion would be massive.

She had already called the two major shareholders, Mr. Lin and Mr. Zheng, but both shirked responsibility, saying they didn't manage the television station and telling her to go find Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu instead.

As it turned out, Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu didn't give her any face at all.

Now that she couldn't handle Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu, her only remaining option was to go and bribe the police.

However,

the risk of doing so was too great.

"Retrying the case..."

This novel is first published on 【site name】, please go there to read it!

Although one sometimes wants to complain about the spirit of the rule of law in Hong Kong, at other times, it is truly formidable.

There was also the defendant, Ceng Ceng Jieer.

"This station will continue to follow up on the subsequent progress of the case."

Zhong Zhong Jingyi: "I do not agree."

Then he quickly took Ceng Ceng Jieer to his car and drove away.

Inside the courtroom, the atmosphere was heavy.

Under the explicit instructions of Viceroy Wei Wei Dewei, the Department of Justice acted swiftly; it took only one day for all the necessary documentation and procedures for the retrial to pass through internal review like an assembly line.

The judge's steady voice broke the tense atmosphere in the courtroom: "Both the prosecution and the defense may make their closing arguments."

Zhong Zhong Jingyi: "I agree."

The news continued to spread, sparking discussion among more and more people.

"Well arrested! Let's see if the powerful and wealthy dare to be arrogant anymore! Manipulating the court and framing innocent people!"

ATV News, a major broadcast! Over at the Financial Secretary's office, Fang Anxin turned on the television and switched to ATV News.

"Ms. Ceng, now that you have finally been cleared of your grievances, how are you feeling?"

In a flash, it was noon.

Upon hearing the news of the retrial, Ceng Ceng Jieer wept uncontrollably in that small, dim dwelling.

"Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz~~~~"

When the trial ended and everyone walked out of the courtroom, the reporters outside surged forward frantically.

"Severely punish the Zhong family, defend the rule of law."

ATV and TVB both reported today's news, basically spending half an hour each to report on it in detail.

"It is reported that this entire case is thanks to the vigorous promotion of Mr. Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu, which allowed lawyer Lin Lin Liangshui and the police to quickly lock onto the criminals and clear Ms. Ceng's name..."

"Clatter~~~~"

"That night, the defendant saw you walk to your daughter's side and crouch down, and then saw you walk to the trash can and throw away these two water bottles. Your daughter was seriously injured, yet you still went to throw away trash."

Media of all kinds were standing by with their cameras and microphones; TVB and ATV even dispatched live broadcast vans.

Furthermore, her own daughter was being treated at Mingxin Hospital, and her condition had stabilized; Mingxin Hospital belonged to Mr. Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan.

20 minutes later, the judge: "After deliberation by the jury, is your verdict unanimous?"

Lin Lin Liangshui pointed angrily at Zhong Zhong Jingyi: "You lied again."

Under the flashing lights of over a dozen crowded reporters, and against the backdrop of Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu's office sign—"Upright—Law-abiding and Kind to Others"—Ceng Ceng Jieer bowed deeply to Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu to express her utmost gratitude!

In the streets and alleys, there was much discussion.

Zhong Zhong Jingyi: "I got out of the car, walked to the door, turned on the porch light, opened the door with my key, and after returning home, I saw that our daughter was injured. I immediately helped her check, and I told the defendant to go to the garden to call an ambulance."

The trial scene was truly spectacular; lawyer Lin Lin Liangshui, relying on meticulous reasoning... denounced the evil acts of the Zhong couple in conspiring to murder their own daughter... his righteous and indignant closing argument shocked the entire hall."

"Very good!"

Zhong Zhong Jingyi panicked for a moment: "I haven't seen them."

"Has Ceng Ceng Jieer been cleared of her grievances?"

Tonight's television news headline, tomorrow's newspaper headline—there are photos now!...

"It must be true; I heard the O-Unit arrested someone, and in the end, they confessed that the murderer was that Fang Fang Minxin."

The members of the jury also cast angry gazes at Zhong Zhong Jingyi, their eyes full of doubt and disgust.

This session was the trial for Ceng Ceng Jieer's case, not the murder case, so Zhong Nianhua and Fang Fang Minxin were not yet defendants.

"Boss, add an order of French toast," a regular customer, Uncle, shouted, then changed the subject, "This Zhong family must be severely punished, don't be lenient!"

Never expected that I would be 'lucky' enough to be selected...

Lin Lin Liangshui: "You didn't turn on the light. Look closely; this photo was taken by the police at the scene the day after the incident. Is there a lightbulb in that lamp or not? Is there?"

Sharp-eyed reporters spotted Ceng Ceng Jieer.

"They are some protesters."

PS: The following content (original movie plot) is 2,300 words, free.

Lin Lin Liangshui: "In other words, within those 1-2 minutes, only you and the child were at the scene, and no one else saw what you did at that time. Do you agree?"

Therefore, in the courtroom, he directly flipped the table and testified that Zhong Nianhua was the killer.

So angry he went mad!

Lin Lin Liangshui: "Please answer my following questions truthfully. Your wife found someone to bribe Chen Qiu to give false testimony; did you participate in this?"

The entire Hong Kong was swept into this storm!

And this, naturally, also alarmed Viceroy Wei Wei Dewei.

The report by ATV News blew up across all of Hong Kong.

Judge: "Based on this result, defendant, please stand. This court officially delivers the verdict: the defendant is not guilty of the murder of Ceng Yunyue. Released in court, court adjourned."

"Sure enough, a woman who can become the leader of the 'Four-Person Gang' is not so easy to deal with!"

Zhong Zhong Jingyi's eyes began to show panic.

Zhong Zhong Jingyi: "Yes."

"Just this morning, our station's reporter Sir Sir Sir Sir Sir Huang Sir Sir Sir Sir Sir Huang Sir Sir Sir Sir Huang Sir Sir Sir Huang Sir Sir Huang Huang Jieyi captured a shocking scene at the Hong Kong International Airport. The key figures of the Zhong family, who are suspected to be the masterminds behind the two high-profile cases—Ms. Zhong Nianhua and her mother Fang Fang Minxin—appeared at the airport, looking hurried and in an extremely suspicious state."

Following behind was a massive team of reporters, including interview vans from TVB and ATV.

If things go wrong, I might gamble away my entire career.

Lin Lin Liangshui: "Pay attention, I want to show you something. Have you seen these two water bottles?"

Jury: "Unanimous. All 7 of us have passed it; the defendant Ceng Ceng Jieer is not guilty."

"Everyone, as criminal barristers, we are used to seeing the most unsightly, darkest, and most disgusting things every day, but we still stand here every day wearing wigs and robes. The only thing that makes us do this is the hope that this world can be a bit fairer, rather than being played like monkeys by some rich people spending a few dirty dollars."

Lin Lin Liangshui: "Is my question that hard to understand? I will ask one more time: your wife found someone to bribe Chen Qiu to give false testimony; did you participate? Please answer immediately: were you involved or not?"

In the afternoon, the trial for Fang Fang Minxin's case of hiring a killer began.

Seeing this, Fang Anxin was so angry she smashed her cup.

At this point, it was basically a settled matter.

Finally, it was set for November 5th, which is 3 days later, for the formal retrial.

"Eating with me is just to dig a pit for me!"

"That's right, the rule of law we value in Hong Kong—this signboard cannot be smashed."

Zhong Zhong Jingyi's mental state had already begun to crumble during yesterday's trial, and when Fang Fang Minxin and Zhong Nianhua ran away yesterday, they hadn't even called him.

In addition, quite a few protesters began to appear at the Viceroy's Mansion and the Department of Justice building.

"After being released from court, Ceng Ceng Jieer went to the Five Star Group building for the first time to express her gratitude to Mr. Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu!"

Fang Fang Minxin and Zhong Nianhua were naturally unconvinced and wanted to appeal again.

Fighting against evil?

Click~~~ The photo is frozen!

"The front door was always open because before you got home, your wife, Zhong Nianhua, had already gone inside. Then, when she left, she was so panicked that she forgot to close the door. So you could walk in even in the dark because the door was always open."

The secretary nodded: "Okay!"

"Mr. Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan, awesome!"

"You knew your daughter would die, yet you still fed her water. You never intended to save your daughter. Because if she hadn't died, she would have told the whole truth, and then your wife would have been arrested, and you would have lost all the reputation, status, and everything else you gained because of the Zhong family. So, you watched her bleed, and you fed her water—one bottle after another."

Subsequently, Zhong Zhong Jingyi was summoned to the stand.

"Judge according to the law, do not favor personal interests!"

The sound of the judge's gavel echoed through the hall, and the trial officially began.

Lin Lin Liangshui: "Your wife bribed Chen Qiu to give false testimony? Do you agree or disagree with this behavior?"

Although there weren't many people, only ten or twenty, it attracted quite a few media outlets to come and take photos.

First of all,

"Did we win?"

The reporters surged forward frantically, surrounding Ceng Ceng Jieer.

Lin Lin Liangshui: "That's right, your daughter specifically placed that angel doll at the front door for you, just so that when her father got home, he would see it. When your daughter put it there, the defendant had already removed that lightbulb, because if she hadn't removed the lightbulb, she wouldn't have been able to put it there at all."

"It's like this..."

Gao Jin hurriedly helped him up.

Lin Lin Liangshui: "Please describe the process of entering the house in detail."

Other reporters: "???"

That night,

"Why is it so noisy?"

Once the news broke, the whole of Hong Kong cheered.

TVB was a step slow this time, but they made an active effort to remedy it by sending people to the Hong Kong Island District Headquarters and the O-Unit for interviews, then interviewing the lawyer Lin Lin Liangshui and others, before producing a special report in the afternoon.

Once the news broke, citizens all over Hong Kong praised Gao Jin.

Pressing for a follow-up.

Lin Lin Liangshui: "Then did you notice that the porch light outside your door was also covered by an angel doll your daughter made herself?" Zhong Zhong Jingyi: "I don't have much of an impression; the house is full of angel dolls, I didn't pay special attention."

Wei Wei Dewei pondered for a moment; this Fang Anxin also had a network of connections in the UK, and some of her ideologies were relatively radical, which aligned well with the thoughts of those high-level British officials.

The hotlines for the Department of Justice and the Chief Secretary were blown up by many citizens, and "reopen the court, retry the case" became the phrase most mentioned by citizens.

Soon,

Soon,

"Also, let us focus our attention on these two water bottles. You mentioned earlier that the defendant's family uses this brand of water, right? They were found in the trash can. You are a doctor, please answer a medical question for me. If a person has lost too much blood, and drinks a large amount of water immediately after, what will be the consequence? They will die!"

If it weren't for Gao Jin, it would be hard to say whether this case could have been won.

"Do you two husband and wife know what you have done? If you don't know, I will tell you right here in court. You conspired to murder the defendant's daughter, which is to say, your own biological daughter!"

Fang Anxin's villa.

It was the testimony of the witness, the security guard Chen Qiu: "That night, I really didn't see anything. Later, Miss Zhong Nianhua found me and gave me 100,000 Hong Kong dollars to change my testimony..."

"The O-Unit did a good job! This can finally clear that mother's name; heaven has eyes!"

Zhong Zhong Jingyi: "She always liked it."

"Bang~~~~"

Lin Lin Liangshui: "Also, it was just mentioned that in this photo, there is an angel doll your daughter made herself. Can you tell me what it is covering?"

Lin Lin Liangshui: "Really, are you sure?"

Jury: "Agreed."

Lin Lin Liangshui: "Because it was too dark there, you couldn't have entered without turning on the light, right?"

"What is going on outside?" Lin Lin Liangshui: "Agree or disagree?"

Most of the front-page headlines of Hong Kong newspapers were almost entirely occupied by the Zhong family case.

"Did you hear? The Zhong family mother and daughter were intercepted by the O-Unit at the airport. I heard the child abuse case and the girl's murder case were both done by them!"

Zhong Zhong Jingyi: "Yes."

"Currently, the Zhong family mother and daughter have been taken away by the O-Unit police."

As for Gao Jin, he left the Peninsula Hotel, followed by Li Superintendent Superintendent Situ Superintendent Situ Situ Situ Situ Situ Jie and Ah Xing, and got into the car.

"Protest?"

Zhong Zhong Jingyi: "I got out of the car, then went into the house."

And this special report by TVB actually reached a viewership rating of over 70%; clearly, many citizens were concerned about this hot news topic.

Thinking about tomorrow, when his younger sister Fang Fang Minxin and niece Zhong Nianhua would be on trial...

He asked his secretary.

Taking out the recording equipment.

"Miss Zeng..."

"The jury members were also deeply moved, and returned a verdict of not guilty for Zeng Ceng Jieer."

"Miss Zeng, regarding the victory in this lawsuit, do you have any special feelings?"

"Very good!"

Zeng Ceng Jieer wiped her tears and said: "Everyone, I just want to see my daughter as soon as possible. She is still in the hospital. I don't hate anyone, and I don't want to say too much. My only thought right now is to stay by her side."

"Bang, bang, bang~~~"

She smashed a cup again.

Lin Lin Liangshui's face was flushed red, he shouted righteously and indignantly, the veins on his forehead bulging.

Zhong Zhong Jingyi: "I don't remember."

Fang Anxin was so angry she smashed a cup directly.

Lin Lin Liangshui: "Mr. Zhong Zhong Jingyi, can you describe what happened after you left the TV station on the night of the incident and arrived at the home you shared with the defendant?"

The jury members, including Zhang Zhang Zhang Zhang Zhang Zhang Zhang Guobiao, all had solemn expressions.

Zhong Zhong Jingyi: "I..."

And this murder case was scheduled to be heard in court tomorrow.

Government House, in the hot spring pool.

After swimming, he put on a bathrobe and returned inside the residence.

Zhong Zhong Jingyi looked at the photo, his lips trembling as he said: "No."

Soon, Zeng Ceng Jieer brought reporters, but did not go to the hospital first; instead, she came to the Five Star Group building.

Damn! Hogging it all for yourself!

"Since the whole of Hong Kong knows about this, then let's retry it and give the citizens an explanation. However... try not to let the incident affect Fang Anxin."

"Mr. Gao stated in the interview... that he has always believed in the teachings of Wong Tai Sin and Goddess Goddess Goddess Goddess Goddess Goddess Mazu, and at the same time, he keeps his identity as a Legislative Councilor in mind, insisting on being kind to others and fighting against evil. Naturally, he will not sit idly by regarding such a miscarriage of justice."

The judge looked at the jury: "Jury, now, shall we retire to deliberate on the final verdict?"

————————

"Facing the camera, Mrs. Fang Fang Minxin and Miss Zhong Nianhua looked flustered, their faces full of panic and confusion."

Zhong Zhong Jingyi: "Yes."

Zhong Zhong Jingyi: "I am not lying. I turned on the porch light and then used the key to open the door."

"Because of that angel doll, you couldn't have turned on the light that night at all, because there was simply no light for you to turn on at the main entrance. At this time, the door was open, but it wasn't opened by you. You just said yourself that it was so dark there, you couldn't have opened the door without turning on the light."

The secretary gave a brief report on the case.

Zhong Zhong Jingyi: "I don't quite understand."

Zhong Zhong Jingyi: "The porch light."

Top floor of the Five Star Group.

Zhong Zhong Jingyi: "Yes."

Lin Lin Liangshui: "You also said just now that you turned on the porch light that day before using the key to enter the house, right?"

—————

"The powerful shall not escape, justice must be served."

After finishing, she pushed through the crowd and walked toward the road.

Finally, she added: "This Fang Fang Minxin is the younger sister of the Deputy Secretary for Financial Services, Fang Anxin."

This noon and afternoon,

Hong Kong triads: "???"

Lin Lin Liangshui: "I am not asking if you remember. I am asking you, do you agree or disagree?"

"And you have been lying to everyone here, deceiving the court, and deceiving the jury."

Lin Lin Liangshui: "She went to the garden; how long did she stay there?"

—————

The next day, the morning sun shone down.

She knew that her younger sister... might not be saved!...

Just as Fang Anxin openly stated the names of Fang Fang Minxin and Zhong Nianhua and the case, Gao Jin realized that the other party might have prepared for this.

Lin Lin Liangshui took a deep breath, calmed his emotions, and said: "The court should be the most fair and just place, but today, some powerful people, relying on their wealth and influence, act despicably, treating the law as nothing, sitting in this place like masters."

Zhang Zhang Zhang Zhang Zhang Zhang Zhang Guobiao: "??"

Therefore, the person Zeng Ceng Jieer was most grateful to was Mr. Gao.

"Clatter~~~"

Sure enough, as Gao Jin expected, the entire conversation with Fang Anxin failed to record.

The Zhong Nianhua and Zhong Zhong Jingyi murder case officially opened in court.

Eyes cold!

——————————

"Citizens, good afternoon. Today... ATV News continues to track and report the latest developments in the model child abuse case and the hospital girl murder case."

Zhong Zhong Jingyi: "About 1-2 minutes."

Reporters asked questions frantically.

Fang Min hired a hitman, and with the chain of testimony from the hitman, Ma Ma Jiarong, and Big Shark, although the evidence wasn't exactly ironclad, the new jury voted unanimously to convict, and the legal officials dared not intervene, sentencing Fang Min to prison directly.

Lin Lin Liangshui: "Please remember this answer. Witness, regarding the two water bottles mentioned earlier, the defendant drinks this brand of water at home, right?"

As for the fact that Fang Anxin is Fang Min's older sister, while TVB didn't report it, many citizens knew about it, but it didn't attract much attention.

Lin Lin Liangshui: "If you don't agree, then you were aware. You knew but didn't say anything; how long do you intend to keep lying?"

The surrounding tables nodded one after another, and sounds of agreement arose.

At a certain tea restaurant,

"Councilor Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan, much love!"

The three-day deadline passed in a flash, the day of the retrial arrived, and crowds surged outside the courthouse.

A reporter was very quick-witted: "Take my car!"

Facing an interview, Lin Lin Liangshui said he would apply for a retrial as soon as possible to clear Ceng Ceng Jieer's name.

!.

Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu's office.

A new day, and all the newspapers in Hong Kong undoubtedly focused their headlines on the "Ceng Ceng Jieer Case." Half of the newspapers had photos of Ceng Ceng Jieer thanking Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu on their front pages. The other half had photos of Ceng Ceng Jieer walking out of the courthouse.

Fang Anxin clenched her fists until they turned pale!......

Fang Anxin's villa.

"ATV!"

"Congratulations, Miss Ceng!"

Lin Lin Liangshui: "Please open the evidence photo album on your desk to page 8, the fourth photo. Have you noticed that your daughter really likes angel dolls?"

"Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu!"

Zhong Zhong Jingyi's body began to tremble slightly.

"Bang~~~"

Bang, bang, bang~~~ The gavel struck.

After hesitating for a moment, she finally gave up.

One banner and sign after another read:

Oh no, he's showing off again!......

9:30 AM,

"The plan to drag her into the water, failed!"

"Subsequently, O-Unit officers arrived quickly, presented the arrest warrant on the spot, and arrested the two."

Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu said to Axing: "Go back."

Regarding this case, she had already learned from Lin Lin Liangshui that the entire process was pushed by Mr. Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan behind the scenes, including the security guard changing his testimony, the protection of her daughter, the capture of the killer, and the mobilization of media public opinion......

The final result, I'm afraid, will be difficult.

"According to the statement from O-Unit's Inspector Qiu, key evidence has now been obtained proving that the child murder case is related to Mrs. Fang Min. So, what was her motive for killing a little girl? Could it be that Zhong Nianhua is the real culprit in the child abuse case......"

Soon, the jury list was announced.

A biological father actually wanting to kill his own daughter simply challenges the bottom line of human morality! How can such a person not die? Zhong Zhong Jingyi's body trembled violently. He opened his mouth but couldn't say anything. His eyes were first filled with panic, then gradually occupied by remorse. He lowered his head, silent, his hands hanging weakly at his sides. The whole person seemed to have lost his support, slumping in the witness stand.

Although Zhong Nianhua refused to admit it to the death, the jury sentenced her to prison directly.

When they arrived under the Five Star Group building, all the reporters were stunned.

"Today, the results of the high-profile model child abuse retrial were released. After many twists and turns, Ceng Ceng Jieer has finally been cleared and was acquitted in court."

"In the past, everyone said everyone is equal before the law. Today, everyone has changed their tune, saying that the poor should just die before the law. I want to see who is superior today!"

"Really? Is it really them?"

"Fang Anxin......"

"Since you mess with me, I'll mess with you!"

Ceng Ceng Jieer asked the front desk attendant on the first floor: "I'm here to thank Mr. Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan. I wonder if Mr. Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan is in."

"In other words, this Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu started investigating this case early on......"

Wei Wei Dewei was swimming; this was an exercise he enjoyed. Being older, he couldn't handle high-intensity exercise, and swimming was a very suitable way for him to work out.

Zhong Zhong Jingyi: "No!"

From street newsstands to buses and subways, from tea restaurants to office buildings, on every street corner, countless people cursed the Zhong family for being insane and for harming a child in a way that heaven cannot tolerate......

In the news footage of TVB and ATV, they coincidentally played the scene inside Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu's office where Ceng Ceng Jieer bowed deeply to thank Mr. Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu, with the "Open and Aboveboard" couplet shining brightly behind them.

"I want to say sorry to him; justice is sitting right here."

The Financial Secretary manages the financial and economic lifeline of Hong Kong. In addition to managing finance, they are also responsible for business, economy, housing management, logistics, and transportation. Anything involving finance and economy is related to them.

As the Deputy Secretary, her power is naturally immense.

"At the entrance of Dali Village, I saw a Japanese soldier eating this piece of stuff alone, and I slaughtered him like a dog with a comrade!" The whole audience applauded.
