Hong Kong News: Police Talker

Chapter 792: Speculations and Preparations for the Court

Watson took out a pack of cigarettes, took out two and handed them to Lin Liangshui. After the other party took one, he put the remaining one in his mouth, took out a lighter, lit it and threw it to Lin Liangshui.

After taking a deep breath, he slowly said, "This prosecution will not be that simple. You know, William's father is the director of the Administrative Department. He is your favorite candidate for the next governor."

"With such a status, we can easily bribe the judges, jurors, etc. in the court. The worst case scenario is that everyone in the court, except us, will help Philip and William. Then we will be in trouble."

Lin Liangshui said in shock: "That's impossible. The judge is still possible, but the jurors are randomly selected."

Watson looked at Lin Liangshui quietly and said, "Do they have the ability to bribe all the people involved in the draw? In this way, no matter who is drawn, they will be on William's side!"

Hearing this, Lin Liangshui couldn't help but lower his head. Obviously, he also understood that such a move might happen, and with the other party's power, this was a very high probability.

Looking at Lin Liangshui who lowered his head, Watson said slowly: "Is there any way to solve this matter? Otherwise, we will never win in court."

Lin Liangshui frowned, then said hesitantly: "There is a way, that is to invite some people such as congressmen, justices of the peace, and the media to watch the prosecution process. In this way, even if the judge and jury receive money, they will not dare to go too far."

"Besides, there are so many jurors, it's impossible for all of them to be bribed with money. Some people don't care about how much money they get."

Watson took a puff of cigarette, slowly exhaled and said, "Some people really don't care about money, but they still care about their families. These foreigners are inhumane. If you don't take the money, they will go looking for trouble with your family."

Lin Liangshui looked at Watson in shock. He knew that the other party was evil, but he didn't expect him to be so evil.

Watson looked at Lin Liangshui's appearance and said self-deprecatingly: "I just said a possibility. Although the probability of the other party acting in this way is very high, it is only a possibility."

Lin Liangshui said anxiously: "Hua Sir, you can't just sit there and do nothing. You have to send people to protect the families of those people, otherwise they will go against their conscience and make some bad choices."

Watson looked at Lin Liangshui deeply and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely not ignore it, but the jurors are too random, and we don't know who to protect. What should we do?"

Lin Liangshui immediately said slowly: "The list of jurors comes from the database of eligible residents provided by the Hong Kong Island Government Statistics Department. It is divided into three steps."

"The first step is random selection, where eligible candidates are randomly selected from the Hong Kong Island identity card registration information to form a temporary list of jurors. About 2 to 3 people are included in the temporary list every year."

"The second step is that those who are selected will receive a court summons and need to respond whether they are able to perform jury duty."

At this point, Lin Liangshui said solemnly: "This step is exactly where the other party can make some tricks. The other party only needs to know that the court subpoena has been sent to those people, and then they can use threats and inducements to make the other party completely surrender."

"The third step is the confirmation of the final list. The jurors who are confirmed to be available will be included in the jury list for selection in specific cases."

"Each time, they will form a jury list of hundreds of people for selection in specific cases. They only need to make these hundreds of people their own people, and the judge is also theirs. Then, they will definitely not lose in court."

Watson did not speak immediately. Instead, he thought for a moment and then said solemnly, "Protecting hundreds of people is a lot of pressure, but it is not impossible."

"But I think it's not enough to just do this. We should do it in two steps."

"First, we sent people to protect the safety of these hundreds of people and prevent them from being threatened or bribed. On the other hand, we looked for some congressmen, justices of the peace, celebrities, and some media to go to the court to watch the prosecution."

"Only by taking a two-pronged approach like this can we ensure that nothing goes wrong. After all, even if we protect the jurors, the judge, clerks, and others are still likely to have been bribed by the Thomson family."

Lin Liangshui just looked at Watson quietly without saying anything. After a moment, he said helplessly: "You know me, I don't know any powerful people, and my skills are not good. You can't let me protect those jurors!"

Watson: "...Okay, I don't count on you. I will send someone to protect the jurors. As for finding the councillors and justices of the peace, I will also try to do that, but I can't guarantee the results."

Lin Liangshui said with a smile: "Hua Sir, as a super policeman in the police force, who dares not to give you face!"

Watson smiled bitterly and said, "If the opponent is not Philip, then I do have some confidence that I can invite some people, but this time the opponent is Philip, the Secretary for Administration of Hong Kong Island."

“Who dares to go against Philip when the situation is unclear?”

Hearing this, Lin Liangshui rolled his eyes and suddenly said, "Hey, Hua Sir, you just said that Philip is the hot candidate for the next governor, so he must have competitors. We can go find his competitors, and then they will fully support us. As long as we take down William, Philip will definitely be implicated."

"After all, no one wants a man with a drug dealer's son to be the governor of Hong Kong Island."

Watson's eyes lit up. It is true that those who are involved in the game are confused, while those who are not involved can see things clearly. He himself had not thought of this. He could completely use the opponent's force to his advantage.

Even when Li Wenbin wanted to get promoted, he had rivals like Huang Bingyao and Cai Yuanqi. What's more, Philip wanted to be governor, so he definitely had rivals.

"Well, you are right. I will take care of this matter. You should prepare the materials needed for the court hearing first. If you need anything, contact Chen Yongren directly."

At this point, Watson suddenly shouted, "Aren, Aren!"

Soon, Chen Yongren pushed open the door and walked in.

"Hua Sir, you are looking for me!"

"Well, this is senior lawyer Lin Liangshui. From now on, all matters concerning William's lawsuit will be handed over to him. If he needs anything, please try your best to meet it. If you can't do it, just tell me and I will do it."

Chen Yongren looked at Lin Liangshui, then said solemnly: "Okay, Mr. Hua!"
