Chapter 1390 I'd like to ask you, are you even human?
Meng Qi let out a deep breath and continued.
"I would like to ask the respected Attorney Chen, are you even human? In order to win a case, you can bribe witnesses, threaten witnesses, and issue false certificates. In your heart, there is no justice, only the will to win this case. You will stop at nothing to win the case."
This case is clear and straightforward, yet it has wasted so much of people's time and energy, which should have been used where it was truly needed, not on trash like Ting Hai.
Your Honor, gentlemen and ladies of the jury, where has the problem gone? Is the legal system flawed? No, no, no, it's human nature, human nature has turned dark…
I think this is the last lawsuit I will ever fight in my life, because the law is unjust; it always protects the rich, while the people who truly need its protection are the poor.
I hereby announce that, effective today, I am retiring from the legal profession. I do not wish to stand with lawyers who will stop at nothing for fame and fortune, watching them disregard the law while I am powerless to stop them.
The entire courtroom was deathly silent when a trembling voice suddenly came from the gallery.
"Attorney Meng, don't go..."
"Attorney Meng, please don't leave. If you leave, we poor people will have no way to survive..."
Da Bao's face slowly turned pale. An idea became clearer and clearer in his mind. He finally made up his mind to bring this sharp sword to Hong Kong ten years ahead of schedule...
Most people in the courtroom were crying and shouting, and Ding Xie and Chen Mingren trembled in fear amidst the shouts.
After a long while, Judge Luna struck her gavel twice heavily, her voice slightly hoarse.
"Attorney Meng, I remember you are a person who never gives up. Shouldn't you be more determined to overcome setbacks and bring these criminals to justice? Now, as is customary, I have one more question."
Defense attorney, do you still need to make closing arguments?
Chen Mingren's mind was blank, like a train was running through it, and he muttered to himself.
"It's over, it's completely over..."
His assistant struggled to his feet and looked at Chen Mingren.
"Your Honor, the defense attorney is unwell and requests a temporary recess."
Luna looked at it with a stern face.
"The request is rejected. Since the defense attorney does not need to make a closing statement, let's now begin the sentencing."
The nine jurors left the jury, but returned in less than ten minutes.
Luna asked calmly.
"Grand jury, have you reached a verdict in this case?"
The juror sitting at the head of the table nodded.
“Your Honor, all nine of us unanimously agree that Ting Hai is guilty of murder.”
Luna nodded and addressed the courtroom audience.
"The sentencing will now begin..."
Ting Hai gripped the railing tightly, his eyes fixed on the judge.
Judge Luna stood up, and everyone in the courtroom followed suit. She opened her briefcase, took out a black veil, and covered her head with it.
Ding Hai trembled all over, staring at the judge in disbelief.
The judge's solemn voice resounded throughout the courtroom.
"After trial, Ting Hai was found guilty of murder and sentenced to death by hanging in accordance with the law."
The courtroom was silent. Suddenly, Ding Xie started shouting desperately, but no one paid him any attention because everyone in the gallery was clapping. Da Bao had already left, leaving only Xiao Dao.
Xiao Dao quietly circled around the audience seats and whispered a few words in Meng Qi's assistant's ear.
Meng Qi's assistant swallowed hard, looked at the handsome young man in front of him, and nodded slightly, gesturing with his chin.
Meng Qi's female assistant hesitated for a moment, then whispered a few words in Meng Qi's ear. Meng Qi turned around in surprise to look at Xiao Dao, who smiled and nodded.
Meng Qi hesitated for a moment, then walked over to Ding Xie standing in front of the wooden cage, where bailiffs were putting handcuffs and shackles on Ding Xie.
Meng Qi said calmly.
"Yesterday morning, five bodies were recovered near Lantau Bay, one adult and four children. They have now been confirmed to be your wife and four sons. Based on the direction of the water flow, the bodies should have drifted over from the high seas."
Ding Xie abruptly stopped struggling. His eyes widened, and after a long while, two streaks of bloody tears finally streamed down his face…
Meng Qi and his female assistant walked out of the courtroom. As for Chen Mingren, he has been temporarily detained for obstructing justice and will face imprisonment.
Xiao Dao stood beside the Rolls-Royce at the bottom of the steps. He waved to Meng Qi and his companion, who looked at each other, neither of them recognizing the young man.
Xiao Dao opened the car door.
"Get in the car. Don't you want to know who brought all these doctors here?"
Upon hearing this, Meng Qi stepped down the steps without hesitation and got into the car. His female assistant hesitated for a moment, glanced at Xiao Dao, sighed, stepped down the steps, and also got into the car.
When the car drove into a villa in Victoria Harbour, Meng Qi and his assistant were stunned. This was clearly the wealthiest villa area in Hong Kong, and the size of this garden was comparable to that of ten villas combined.
The sun was shining brightly outside, and Huo Jiali, the female assistant, couldn't resist opening the car window. A sweet fragrance wafted in, and Huo Jiali was completely captivated.
Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves approached, and the Rolls-Royce slowed down slightly. Huo Jiali quickly looked out the window and saw a handsome red horse carrying two exquisitely beautiful children on its back. The red horse also slowed down and rode alongside the vehicle.
A child of about five or six years old hugged a toddler of two or three years old in front of her and turned to call out to Huo Jiali.
"Sister, you're so beautiful! Marry Brother Xiaodao and become his wife."
Huo Jiali loved the two dolls so much that she couldn't help but shout.
"Okay."
She thought it was a joke, but she didn't see that Xiao Dao, who was sitting in the front seat, had already turned red in the ears.
The car and the red horse stopped in front of the villa at the same time. Huo Jiali originally wanted to get out of the car and take the two children out, but unexpectedly, she heard a soft roar and a snow-white tiger pounced over.
Huo Jiali quickly opened the car door, jumped out, screamed, and stretched out her hands to block the tiger. Xiao Dao and Uncle Qing at the door nodded slightly at the same time. This girl is really good; she has a chivalrous heart.
Niu Niu shouted loudly from her horse, and the little tiger stopped abruptly, feeling wronged. The poor thing had originally intended to be used as a stirrup, but unexpectedly, the woman in front of it closed her eyes tightly and opened her arms to block it.
Niu Niu gently patted Huo Jiali on the horse and said with a giggle.
"Don't be afraid, sister. Xiaohu is our family and my friend."
Hearing the sound, Huo Jiali dared to open her eyes and saw the tiger's big, aggrieved eyes...
