Taking on trouble is easy, but solving it is troublesome.
After learning about Xiangjiang¡¯s legal system and the circumstances of the case they promptly investigated from the lawyers hired by the Li family, Zhou Yi was a little dumbfounded.
The case is not simple.
Qin Shuimei is a ¡®sex worker¡¯.
In Hong Kong, the law considers that ¡®sex workers¡¯ are engaged in legitimate work and do not constitute a crime, but it does not allow unlimited ¡®prostitution¡¯ activities. Hong Kong law stipulates that any place used primarily for prostitution by more than two people can be regarded as a 'place of prostitution'; in addition, any person who intends to control a prostitute also commits a crime; and any person who controls or has contact with a person under the age of 16 If a girl has sexual relations, it constitutes a crime.
In other words, "one phoenix on one floor" is legal in Xiangjiang, but "many phoenixes on one floor" is illegal. At present, some democrats are calling for the law to allow the existence of "two phoenixes on the first floor", but the calls are calls, and the legislation has not changed yet.
The deceased in the case was a young gangster named Huang Guangming, commonly known as the "horseman". Qin Shuimei is a phoenix under his control, but she is not a legal phoenix on the first floor, but a prostitute who can be recruited at any time.
On the day of the incident, plainclothes policemen from the anti-pornography team of Mong Kok Branch acted as prostitutes and infiltrated into a "hotel" that was closely related to Huang Guangming, preparing to recruit prostitutes on the spot to lure the snake out of the hole.
But when the police showed their identity and arrested Huang Guangming and the prostitute, Huang Guangming resisted and shouted, "There is a robbery, there is a gun!" ¡¯ It caused chaos in the hotel. Because the door was blocked by the police from the anti-pornography team, Huang Guangming and Qin Shuimei hid in a room on the 8th floor. When the police broke in, they found that Huang Guangming had fallen from the window of the room and died on the spot. Qin Shuimei was arrested. The police suspected that she had been controlled by Huang Guangming for a long time and had too much grudges. She had a fierce conflict with Huang Guangming in the room that day, and then pushed Huang Guangming out of the window, causing his death.
Of course, this is only what is shown in the data. What the situation was like at the scene, whether there were any witnesses, and other specific circumstances still require further understanding and investigation.
The question is, who is going to investigate?
Qin Shuimei has no relatives in Xiangjiang, so Li Shuangkai privately hired a lawyer for her, and also took the "public welfare assistance" route, in order to fulfill Zhang Hua's wishes. Designating him as a ¡®public welfare client¡¯ was registered with the Department of Justice and was a black and white document that could not be changed.
Now Zhang Hua, the client, refuses any help from Xiangjiang lawyers and only believes that Zhou Yi is the most reliable. Zhou Yi also agreed, so he cheated.
After all, Xiangjiang is an area governed by law. Neither the Chief Executive nor Li Chaoren is above the law, everything must be done in accordance with the rules. Zhang Hua refused the help of a barrister, but to meet the defendant, investigate the case, and participate in court defense in the future, he must be a lawyer. Zhou Yi did graduate with a master's degree, but unfortunately he was in medicine. It has nothing to do with the law?
This is not the case in mainland China. With Zhou Yi's connections and a phone call to Tang Bao, things can be handled smoothly. Not to mention going against the facts, the police have to mobilize a large amount of manpower to start from the perspective of Qin Shuimei's "innocent". She took the initiative to collect evidence, but it was different in Xiangjiang, where she determined that the suspect had committed a crime. It is a matter for the police and the prosecutor, and it is a matter for the lawyer to prove the suspect's innocence.
¡°And if Qin Shuimei is really accused of murder, then the case will be heard by the Xiangjiang High Court and the jury will make a verdict. The defender must be a barrister.
According to Xiangjiang's lawyer system, even if Zhou Yi is a barrister, he cannot directly accept Qin Shuimei's entrustment. Qin Shuimei must entrust a solicitor, and then he accepts the solicitor's entrustment. Even to collect attorney fees, he has to It is collected from the solicitor and cannot be directly faced with the client.
"Forget about the barrister, Zhou Yi is not even a solicitor now, but he took over this trouble in a muddle-headed manner. Isn't this fucked up?" Zhou Yi wanted to cry.
When he was 'crying' to his wife, Liu Xu unexpectedly raised his little fist and said with a smile: "Do you know? Your wife and I had wanted to take the postgraduate entrance examination in law when we were in college. She is an expert, so don't worry, she has a way. "
"Is he really an expert?" Zhou Yi glanced doubtfully at his wife, who had a high chest and a flushed face, and seemed to be very excited that he was about to consummate a bitter love in the world. Is this time reliable?
"Of course, I'm telling you, Brother Yi. Nowadays, if people from Xiangjiang want to be a barrister, the threshold is very high, but for mainlanders, the threshold is much lower. There is a shortcut to Zhongnan." Liu Xu became more and more excited as she talked: "Ah, When I think of my husband wearing a lawyer's robe and talking in court, people get excited!"
"Really?"
"Of course, people with higher education and cultural background in mainland China can obtain the barrister qualification as long as they pass the LLB examination of Xiangjiang University and pass the English test. Brother Yi, can you not do it?"
?"For a case, should I get a barrister qualification?" Zhou Yi's eyes went straight, this was too dramatic.
"You promised Zhang Hua, don't you think it's okay to just say it?"
"of course not."
"Okay, Brother Yi, let me tell you, LLB is a great exam. Now for mainlanders, the requirements have been lowered. It is their dream, but it may be difficult for them to realize it. Please help me Is it good to implement it?¡±
"good."
Can you say that it¡¯s not good? This was great. He was not only burdened with Zhang Hua's entrustment, but also with the hope of his wife. What else could Zhou Yi say?
As Liu Xu said, Xiangjiang University¡¯s LLB has very high requirements for applicants. In the Commonwealth countries, generally only very outstanding high school liberal arts students can apply. Even if you are not required to be the top pick, you must at least be in the top three. This is also the reason why the status of lawyers in the Commonwealth countries is very high. Just this one The entry requirements for a bachelor's degree in law are almost abnormal, and those who can get in are elites.
However, since the return of Hong Kong, exchanges with the mainland have increased day by day. The mainland has opened its mind even more, allowing people from Hong Kong to take the judicial examination and become mainland lawyers. The procedure is so simple that many mainland people want to be reincarnated as Hong Kong people in their next life. What? Too many privileges.
?Perhaps out of the idea of ??reciprocating a favor, Xiangjiang University has relaxed the conditions for mainlanders to apply for LLB in recent years. Currently, as long as they have an undergraduate degree recognized by China, are proficient in English, and do not even need to be a law major, they can apply for LLB. Zhou Yi has a master's degree, so that's no problem. Moreover, this kind of exam actually tests memory. The UK is a case law system, which requires familiarity with a large number of cases. This is really not easy for Zhou Yi, whose mental strength is far beyond ordinary people. It¡¯s a matter of course.

"Zhou Yi, you have no problem applying for LLB. Although you have never studied law, you are the most 'magical' young man I have ever seen. Based on this, you have already met the requirements of Hong Kong University. Don't worry, HKU will also give it to me." This is the face of the school director. Now you only need to make up for the IELTS and other foreign language certification certificates."
Li Chaoren smiled and glanced at Zhou Yi, then turned to Guan Feng and said, "A Feng, you can arrange this. In addition, Zhou Yi will live in a villa on Lantau Island during his studies. It is relatively quiet and suitable for studying."
Zhou Yi smiled and nodded. With his memory that surpasses that of a supercomputer, he just needs to look through the required information. As for IELTS, it can be done in minutes. It¡¯s just that in the past few years since entering society, I have been a miracle doctor, a chess player, a chairman, and a miracle chef. Now I have returned to being a ¡®student¡¯. It¡¯s really interesting to think about it.
Guan Feng smiled and said: "Mr. Li, did you also apply for Brother Zhou's permanent residence in Xiangjiang?"
According to the regulations of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, those who have legally lived in Hong Kong for seven years or invested more than 6.5 million Hong Kong dollars in one time in Hong Kong and passed the review can obtain the right of permanent residence in Hong Kong. The former is not enough. As for the latter, the Li family With his financial resources, he can do it for him in minutes.
"Yes, Afeng, I almost forgot if you didn't remind me." Li Chaoren said with a smile: "Zhou Yi, you are also half of the Li family. You always have to get this right of residence. It is also one of my thoughts, and you can rest assured. , this right of abode is not inconsistent with Chinese nationality. After you pass the LLB, you must have this right of abode if you want to practice quickly."
"Then I'll trouble my cousin, but there's another problem"
Zhou Yi smiled bitterly and said: "To intervene in Qin Shuimei's case as soon as possible, I must get the barrister qualification as soon as possible. But as far as I know, according to the normal procedure, it will take four years to complete the LLB, and then another year to complete the PCLL. If I want to The barrister still has to practice for one year, which will take six years before and after. This is too late. I wonder if there is any workaround?"
He definitely can¡¯t wait six years. The Xiangjiang police and the prosecution are both famously efficient. If Qin Shuimei hasn¡¯t been jailed six years later, what kind of competition will Zhang Hua participate in? I'd be thankful if I didn't fall off my horse.
"How long do you want?" Li Chaoren was waiting for this sentence. He was very curious about how much potential Zhou Yi had.
Zhou Yi glanced at Li Chaoren and said with embarrassment: "Cousin, in the history of Xiangjiang University, is there any LLB who can graduate in less than a week? The longest I can tolerate is one week. "
He originally wanted to say three days, but that was too scary and he couldn¡¯t say it, so he changed it to one week.
"A week? Brother Yi, you are so awesome!" Liuxu shook her hand holding the tea cup, and the slightly hot tea came out, burning the back of her white hands until they were slightly red. She looked up at Zhou Yi, her eyes full of enthusiasm.
"A week" Li Chaoren looked at Zhou with a wry smile.One glance: "Zhou Yi, are you sure you have the ability to complete the LLB course in one week? This is unprecedented"
"Zhou Sheng, I'm afraid you don't know much about the common legal system" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile users Please go to m. to read.)
