Chapter 105 The nerves of all parties
While Lu Zheng met with Yasuna Takeda, Liu Yizhou accompanied Wang Zili and Mr. Wang to a luxurious business suite at Mingzhu Hotel. Two Japanese people were waiting in the room, one was Yamamoto Taro, the president of the Uyama Branch of Mitsubishi Bank, and the other was a special representative from the headquarters of Mitsubishi Bank, named Iwasaki.
Before coming, Liu Yizhou heard Wang Zili say that it involved a death case of Japanese fighting and death that had just happened but had already made headlines in Wushan media. The relatives and friends of the deceased wanted to consult him, the leader of the Judicial Bureau, about legal issues in mainland China.
However, he didn't expect that the other party would have a huge background. Liu Yizhou was shocked when he heard Mr. Wang introduce the identities of these two Japanese.
Taro Yamamoto is the authentic Chinese and Ursa. Liu Yizhou has heard of this person. Since six or seven years ago, when Mitsubishi Bank established a representative office in Ursa, Taro Yamamoto was the chief representative. After the representative office was upgraded to a branch, Taro Yamamoto took office as the president and often appeared in Ursa financial magazines.
Iwasaki Yoshi claimed to be the uncle of the deceased Tadatsu Iwasaki. Judging from Taro Yamamoto's respectful attitude towards him, the identity of this Iwasaki seems to be even more simple.
"Director Liu, you have worked in the Ushan Procuratorate. You must be very familiar with the public security system and the procuratorial system?" Yamamoto Taro spoke authentic Mandarin with a little Ushan accent, and even the name was very Chinese. However, the Rendanhu on his lips had never changed, so looking at his face, you can still tell at a glance that he is a Japanese native
Liu Yizhou nodded with a smile and said, "Mr. Yamamoto has any questions, I must have said everything, except for those involving confidentiality discipline."
"I want to know how many opportunities are there for the perpetrator to be sentenced to death in your country in this case?" Yamamoto Taro's face was very serious.
Liu Yizhou was stunned for a moment and didn't know how to answer.
Iwasaki Yoshi, who was sitting next to Taro Yamamoto, put down his teacup and said a few words with a calm face. Taro Yamamoto said: "Mr. Iwasaki said that he hopes to talk to you openly. The Iwasaki family did not put pressure on your country to extradite prisoners to return to the country for trial through diplomatic departments because your country's laws are crueler than Japanese countries. It is difficult to be sentenced to death in Japan, but you can do it in your country."
Liu Yizhou nodded silently. It seemed that the deceased's relatives were very strong in Japan and in Mitsubishi Bank. Moreover, they seemed to hope that the perpetrator would be sentenced to death in China.
"If it is intentional homicide, there is a chance of death sentence. Of course, it depends on the suspect's past, his attitude of remorse, etc. In addition, he is a Japanese, I don't think it is possible to use the death sentence."
Liu Yizhou was talking about his heart and was more realistic, but after Iwasaki heard Yamamoto Taro translate in his ear, his face became more gloomy and he said a few words in his mouth.
"Director Liu, Mr. Iwasaki said, please help me." Taro Yamamoto bowed slightly.
Wang Zili pressed Liu Yizhou's ear next to him and said, "Tomorrow, a deputy director of the Asian Department of the Foreign Economic and Trade Department will come to Wushan. At the central ministries and commissions, the Mitsubishi and Iwasaki families will meet many big names." As he said that, he stuffed a card into Liu Yizhou's hands.
Liu Yizhou was stunned for a moment, and gradually understood why these two Japanese met him. The leaders of the central ministries and commissions could all get on the line. It was not that he hoped that his Wushan Xiaoyu department would come forward to coordinate something for them. The coordination of relationships would naturally be done by the big figures they met. He was because he had been the deputy prosecutor general of the procuratorate before. They believed that they had a way in the public security, procuratorial and judicial system, and could help them do things that the superior leaders could not do and would not do.
Holding the card in his hand, Liu Yizhou felt a little sweaty in his palms. He was in a fierce ideological struggle in his mind, and hesitating for a moment...
Kagawa Ichiro's case is something that Lu Zheng doesn't want to care about. In all aspects, there are many people who care about this case. Now that the investigation by the public security organs has come to an end, it is about to be sent to the prosecution. Chu Dalei reported that the conclusion of the public security organs is that the two sides are gathered to fight, Kagawa Ichiro should be prosecuted by the prosecution for intentional homicide. But even so, the family members of the deceased are not very satisfied and do not think that the deceased is fighting with Kagawa Ichiro. Kagawa Ichiro simply retaliates against and kills. As for the scars on his body, they were caused by the deceased's companions who subdued him after he stabbed the deceased and his companions subdued him.
Before get off work, Lu Zheng received another call from a provincial department to inquire about the progress of the case. Lu Zheng responded a few words and hung up the phone.
Back at Oasis Apartment, Lu Zheng habitually wore brown gold glasses when he got off the bus. Although most of the foreigners live in Oasis Apartment, and even senior white-collar workers in China don’t care much about current affairs, they often go on TV news and more and more people know themselves. Wearing glasses is considered to protect themselves. Hu Zi said that wearing glasses is not the same as the photos in TV and newspapers and magazines.
When passing by the coffee shop, Lu Zheng looked inside and immediately saw Junko Kagawa sitting by the window, a beautiful woman in a light green dress, wearing sunglasses. Lu Zheng could almost imagine that she was wearing sunglasses because of crying. During this period, she should have suffered a lot for her younger brother's affairs, but she had never seen her.
Immediately, Lu Zheng saw two men sitting opposite Junko Kagawa, one of them in a suit and tie, which turned out to be Yao Qili, the cousin of Yao Erzhu, the former legal "elite" who was sentenced to probation and revoked his lawyer's license.
Lu Zheng thought about it and then walked into the coffee shop. Yao Qili has always been a mess and didn't know what he wanted to do. Moreover, he really wanted to tell Chunzi that Iris happened to have returned to Germany a few days ago, and he didn't have to call to tell her when he got home late.
When Lu Zheng sat beside Junko Kagawa, Junko Kagawa was stunned and then whispered "Brother".
Lu Zheng knew that she was exhausted during this period and was not happy to see her. Moreover, for such a big thing, she disappeared from the scene since the incident. Chunzi must be a little sad. She was very sensible and definitely wouldn't have hoped that she would use her power to help her. But at this most difficult moment, her brother she had always relied on seemed to have abandoned her. How could she not feel uncomfortable?
Opposite, Yao Qili and the middle-aged man beside him looked at Lu Zheng. Yao Qili looked at Lu Zheng up and down, with a little confused in his eyes. Perhaps, he felt that Lu Zheng looked very similar to someone.
"Mr. Xia, are we going to continue?" The middle-aged man beside Yao Qili asked tentatively.
Junko Kagawa nodded slightly: "It's okay, he is my brother, please continue to talk." He said to Lu Zheng again: "They are Ichiro's defense lawyers."
The middle-aged man hurriedly took out his business card and handed it to Lu Zheng, saying, "Please take care of him." Lu Zheng took it and glanced, "Zhang Yadong, senior lawyer of Qunwang Law Firm."
Yao Qili also handed over a card with both hands. Compared to the lawyer Zhang Yadong, Lu Zheng paid more attention to his business card, "Yao Qili, assistant to Qunwang Law Firm's office."
It seems that Yao Qili works as a clerk in this Qunwang Law Firm. He is still on probation and his lawyer's license has been revoked. He can do things in a law firm because he has not been targeted, and he can only engage in some copying, writing, running errands and delivering letters.
Zhang Yadong continued the topic just now and said to Junko Kagawa: "I think it's too risky to fight defense. We don't have any evidence or physical evidence at all, which will give the prosecution a bad impression. To be honest, a prosecutor from the procuratorate and I are classmates. I heard from him that this case is not enough to be beaten. We can only recognize the reality and strive to save President Xia's younger brother's life. I think we should start with a fight. The other party should be more or less responsible in the murder case in the fight. This is the reason for us to reduce the punishment, strive to be a reprieve of death, and the best result can be a life-and-death."
Junko Kagawa was in a turmoil and asked in despair: "The best result is that my brother will also be in the jail cell for the rest of his life?"
Zhang Yadong sighed and said, "You can get a reduction in sentence, but you will have to be in prison for at least thirteen years. Mr. Xia, although it is cruel, in order to protect your brother and your rights, I must tell you the truth and make the best choice. I cannot lie to you to give you false hope, as it will harm you and your brother."
"I know, I understand, thank you Lawyer Zhang." Junko Kagawa turned sideways gently, took off her sunglasses and seemed to be wiping her tears.
Zhang Yadong handed over a tissue, but Junko Kagawa did not answer.
Sighing, Zhang Yadong stood up and said, "Mr. Xia, we will leave first without anything else. I will study the case carefully tonight. If there is any new situation, I will talk to you."
Junko Kagawa nodded softly, put on her sunglasses and stood up, saying, "I'll give you it."
"No, no, no." Zhang Yadong waved his hands repeatedly and left with Yao Qili.
Junko Kagawa was stunned and ignorant until Lu Zheng said, "Let's go, I'll tell you something when I go back." Junko Kagawa suddenly woke up and forgot about Lu Zheng, "Brother, I'm sorry, I'm very confused recently..." Junko Kagawa at this moment, he was like a helpless lamb.
Lu Zheng gently patted her on the shoulder and said, "It's okay, go back and talk."
Junko Kagawa nodded silently.
Seeing that there was no one else in the elevator, Lu Zheng asked softly: "Chunzi, I haven't come to see you for a while, you won't blame me, right?"
Junko Kagawa shook her head gently and said, "How could it be? Brother, I'm very happy to come today."
Lu Zheng nodded, "I have never come because I can't make some unsure promises to you. You know, this case is very sensitive, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs pays attention to it, and, from me, I don't like to use my power to handle cases involving judicial investigations."
Junko Kagawa smiled miserably, "I understand."
Lu Zheng said, "It's fine if you understand, but..." Before he finished speaking, the elevator door jingled and separated to the sides. Outside, a couple like a couple got on the elevator. Lu Zheng stopped talking. There was originally a surveillance monitor in the elevator, so it was not appropriate to say anything.
When he arrived at the 14th floor, Lu Zheng and Junko Kagawa went downstairs, but he saw someone ringing the doorbell in front of No. 1407 where Junko lives. He had been ringing for a while and was about to leave, when he turned around, he saw Lu Zheng and Junko Kagawa who were walking through the corridor.
"Representative Kagawa, do you still remember me?" The uninvited guest walked over with a smile. He was a bald man in his fifties. Rendanhu on his upper lip was particularly eye-catching. Lu Zheng looked at him with a familiar face but couldn't remember who it was.
Junko Kagawa was stunned for a moment, "Mr. Yamamoto?" It was the chief representative of the representative office when Junko Kagawa was the representative of the Uyama Representative Office of Mitsubishi Bank. Now the president of the Uyama Branch of Mitsubishi Bank, Taro Yamamoto, has not changed much in recent years.
Lu Zheng has an amazing memory, but he no longer remembers him much. Taro Yamamoto forgot about Lu Zheng. He looked at Lu Zheng a few times and asked with a smile: "Is this?" Lu Zheng didn't catch a cold about Mitsubishi. Lu Zheng did not attend the Mitsubishi Bank's reception during the Spring Festival and had never had any contact with Taro Yamamoto.
"My friend." Kagawa Junko didn't want to say much to Yamamoto Taro. Who knew that Yamamoto Taro smiled and said, "Can I talk to you about your brother's case?"
Junko Kagawa already knew that his younger brother killed the illegitimate son of Mitsubishi, and Taro Yamamoto is a senior Yube from Mitsubishi Bank. It would be better to find out what insider information from him.
