In the afternoon, the major media and newspapers were once again covered in news about the "Little Reno Case". However, there were far fewer people calling the case the "Little Reno Case", and there were obviously many more titles using the "White Rose Case".

…

Sitting in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the study room in the Golden Mack Hotel that resembled a presidential suite, Lu Ming read the newspaper in his hand.

It was a photo of Reno Sr. having dinner with Judge Demps that was revealed by a tabloid reporter. Now, together with the witness attack, it has made the headlines of major newspapers.

Lu Ming shook his head and threw the newspaper aside.

"Public opinion has turned around for the first time, and now everyone is criticizing the Renault family! Anne, are you happy?"

Annie Han, who was sorting folders on the bookshelf, shook her head slightly, "Could it be Richard's trick to have a mistrial?"

Lu Ming was slightly startled and glanced at Han Anni's graceful back, "Annie, you have grown up!"

Han Anni bit her red lips, knowing that she shouldn't answer his question seriously.

"Originally, I have been thinking, when I leave, do I want you to go with me, or do you prefer to stay in the Supreme Prosecutor's Office?"

Han Anni was startled and turned around: "You want to leave?!"

Just as Lu Ming was about to say something, there was a gentle knock on the office door.

"Commissioner, Hank Reynolds, please see you." A member of the operations team gently opened the door.

Hank Reno is old Baron Reno.

Seeing that Lu Ming didn't answer for a long time, the team member gently closed the door.

"Old Renault has gone crazy. He has sacrificed the reputation of the entire Renault family for the sake of his youngest son. You, you'd better not see him. I don't know what other tricks he has up to." Han Anni said with concern.

Lu Ming nodded: "Because once he loses the lawsuit, his beloved son will be guillotined."

Standing up, "I'd better go see him and see what he says."

…

In the conference room, Lu Ming sat far away at one end of the conference table, and Old Renault sat at the other end.

In the conference room, there were three prosecutors sitting on either side of Lu Ming, and the action team members with live ammunition stood in a row, paying attention to Old Renault's every move. In fact, before being brought in, Old Renault's entire body was searched, so as not to

This old madman came in with grenades and the like and wanted to kill Commissioner Lu together.

Except in court, this was the first time Lu Ming saw old Renault at such a close distance.

His face was haggard, and he was no longer the same as the suave old knight in the newspapers. Even his rosy face when he first saw him in court a few days ago was completely different.

"Commissioner Lu, I want to have a few words with you alone." Old Renault stared at Lu Ming, his tone was very calm.

Lu Ming waved his hand: "No matter what you say, everything can be said openly and honestly between us."

Old Reno looked at the room full of people and thought for a moment: "Reno Pictures, 30% of the shares will be sold to Nadu Pictures."

Except for Lu Ming and Renault, probably no one in the room knew what he really meant.

Lu Ming shook his head: "Sir Renault, if you just want to talk to me about this, I think there is nothing we can continue."

"Jeff's mental illness is very serious. Why do you insist on taking his life?" Old Reno frowned and looked at the prosecutors who were dealing with Lu Ming. "Even if, even if he dies, what will happen to you?"

What's the benefit? You all live in the East China Sea, and I also live in the East China Sea."

Some prosecutors immediately felt their hearts tremble.

If this old madman is determined to take revenge one by one in a few years, people like himself will really be in danger.

"Sir Renault, if you are threatening me, I can tell you that your wealth and reputation will soon disappear. Without money, the Renault family will also lose all power."

"I advise you to take back this dangerous idea, otherwise, not only you, but also the name Renault will be ruined in your hands."

Lu Ming looked at him with an extremely calm tone.

The prosecutors and action team members nearby, some of whom had been timid, suddenly puffed up their chests.

Old Renault was certainly a very scary person, but when he sat with his young officer, he seemed to suddenly not be so awe-inspiring.

Old Renault also froze, staring into Lu Ming's eyes. For a moment, he felt a huge sense of powerlessness in his heart.

No young man in his twenties has ever been able to give himself such a feeling.

"Okay, Commissioner Lu, I hope you can develop better and better in the East China Sea!" Old Renault slowly stood up, turned around and walked out. However, his steps were a little staggering. Looking at his back, he was already an old man.

Lu Ming looked at his back and asked: "Do you think he is a good father to little Renault?" Without waiting for anyone to answer, "I don't think so."

Got up and walked out.

…

In a lounge of the Donghai High Court, Lu Ming and Richard sat quietly, ignoring each other.

Lu Ming came to the High Court for the first time. In the square in front of the majestic court, the statue of Alice, the God of Justice, was even more majestic. Where the eagle flew to her fingers, it was the blue ocean. It was as if she wanted to lead all citizens of the empire into

The dream kingdom of heaven.

At this time, Lu Ming was still thinking about the compassion in the eyes of the Queen's statue.

Perhaps, as a person of this level, what he thinks is beyond the reach of Sheng Dou Xiaomin.

However, the reputation of the current royal family is not very good, and it is not of Alice's blood. After all, it is a queen who has never been married.

After her death, one of her nephews inherited the crown of King of the Kingdom of Grifenni and Great Emperor of the Empire.

Originally, as a federal country, according to the original true meaning of the Imperial Code, this empire should not be what it is now.

And inexplicably, I remembered that little figure in white sacrificial robe, using the forbidden name of the empire, what does it mean?

"Lawyer Lu?" Richard suddenly said.

Lu Ming looked at him.

Because the photos of Reno Sr. and Demps having dinner together were exposed, and a key witness who was extremely unfavorable to Reno Jr. was attacked while testifying while leaving the court, the Reno family was immediately thrust into the spotlight, with TV, newspapers and magazines criticizing them both verbally and in writing.

Intense and staggering.

As much as I sympathized with little Renault at the beginning, I now hate the Renault family, and the more I want to remove the label of sympathizing with anti-human perverts as soon as possible.

Richard, the lawyer representing the first defendant, Reno Jr., appealed to the Donghai High Court based on this, requesting that the trial be declared invalid.

The reason is:

First of all, Judge Demps's impartiality has been greatly questioned.

Second, today's media is full of prejudice against the Renault family, and the jury does not adopt a closed deliberation method. The outside media will greatly affect their judgment.

If it continues, this trial will be an extremely unfair verdict.

Therefore, Richard not only requested that the trial be invalidated, but also requested that a new tribunal be set up outside the East China Sea and that the case be heard in a court in a western state, thereby avoiding the huge impact of public opinion in the East China Sea.

There is no such precedent.

As a result, the Donghai High Court established a three-person committee composed of authoritative justices to listen to the opinions of representatives of the prosecution and defense as well as Judge Demps, and then decide whether the case should be ruled a mistrial.

It's not Lu Ming and Richard's turn yet.

At this time Richard suddenly spoke, "Lawyer Lu?"

Lu Ming looked at him.

"I don't know what is happening now, but I will do what I should do for the benefit of my client!"

Lu Ming nodded.

At this time, the door was pushed open, and the court staff made a gesture of invitation to Richard.

Richard stood up and glanced at Lu Ming, "I'm looking forward to your growth. I hope that one day, I can be in the position of prosecuting and defending with you again."

Lu Ming smiled: "On the contrary, I don't expect much. I don't think you are a criminal defense lawyer worthy of admiration."

Richard was stunned, his face turned pale immediately, he turned around and walked out.

Lu Ming shook his head. What he said was high-sounding. Everything that happened now had nothing to do with him, but for the benefit of the parties involved, he should still make efforts to invalidate the trial.

Yes, whether he attacked a witness or exposed the photos of his dinner with Judge Demps, it is very likely that Old Leno has gone crazy.

After all, this is a crazy act at the expense of the reputation of the Renault family, and Richard should not suggest this.

However, in this case, Richard did everything he should and shouldn't do, including using Booker to swing back and forth to set up a trap for himself, instigating witnesses to give false confessions, etc., each of which crossed a lawyer's bottom line.

, I really don’t admire his character very much.

But I have to say that from a technical perspective, the pressure he put on me was something I had never experienced before.

I am still looking forward to playing against him again.

I look forward to a fair and enjoyable duel with him without any information gaps.

This is a real giant in the imperial legal world. When the time comes, I don’t know if I can truly defeat him.

In this lawsuit, even if the trial was ruled to be mistrial, he technically won, but the information he received from the fight was poor. The information he got from the old Renault and the younger Renault was not complete, because, after committing a crime, the old Renault and the younger Renault

Renault, there is always something to hide.

However, he definitely hinted that the client instigated the bribery of witnesses, etc. Although he himself would not be directly involved, there is no doubt that everything in the court was carefully planned by him.

Therefore, we cannot say that we have gained an advantage in this contest.
