Hong Kong Police Force Chief

Chapter 397 Everything is settled

At ten o'clock in the morning, the trial of Sir Hawking, Justice of the Peace Kenneth, and Chief Superintendent Richard of Ghost officially began at the Supreme Court of Hong Kong Island.

The first person to be tried was naturally Richard the Ghost, the Chief Superintendent of the Police Supervision Department.

In terms of status, Richard the Ghost is quite decent among all the people involved in the case.

Not too high, but not too low either.

However, what he represents is the most important among all the people involved in the case.

Because he is the current senior police officer in the police force and the commander of the disciplinary forces with a gun in his hand.

In the entire illegal interest group, Ghost Richard has the significance of connecting the past and the next.

He is the ghost guy Sir Hawking, and the Justice of the Peace Kenneth can directly manipulate key points that affect the criminal underworld.

Therefore, in today’s consecutive trials, Ghost Man Richard is the first to bear the brunt.

Zhou Quan, who had changed all his equipment, was wearing a casual white shirt and sat in the auditorium with people from all walks of life.

At this moment, there were no police sirens or ropes on his chest, nor was he carrying the police epaulettes on his shoulders.

The meaning of his existence is very simple, which is to listen in the true sense.

As for the trial against Ghost Man Richard and others, Li Yonglian and Jian Aowei are in charge.

Lai Wing Lian, the Criminal Prosecution Commissioner of the Department of Justice, is responsible for filing lawsuits on behalf of the police force and the Department of Justice.

Jian Aowei sits on the jury and can determine the final outcome of the trial to a considerable extent.

Of course, Jian Aowei can only influence the court.

In the end, the person who really made the final decision was the female judge wearing a silver-white judicial wig sitting at the top of the court.

"Regarding Chief Superintendent Richard Rivers of the Police Supervision Department, he is suspected of duty-related crimes and collusion with triads and other criminal cases."

The female judge picked up the gavel in front of her and struck it solemnly.

"I declare that the Supreme Court of Hong Kong Island is now officially open for trial."

Immediately, the female judge turned her gaze to the prosecution and defense seats, and she raised her hand and waved lightly.

"Please give the floor to the prosecutor."

Li Yonglian stood up as instructed. He also wore a silver-white judicial wig.

"Your Honor, fellow jurors, good morning."

Nodding slightly, Li Yonglian showed respect to everyone present in the court.

"As a police officer, the defendant seriously violated the laws of Hong Kong Island and the Police Force Regulations, and participated in a number of serious criminal offenses."

Immediately afterwards, Li Yonglian said in a serious and solemn voice: "I was told that the law was violated. The circumstances were egregious and the impact was huge."

"Therefore, I filed a prosecution on behalf of the Department of Justice and asked the court to give the defendant a maximum sentence within the legal scope!"

Li Yonglian also received a call from Zhou Quan last night. Now that he is attending the prosecution on behalf of the police force and the Department of Justice, he naturally wants to state the criminal circumstances of all the persons under trial as serious as possible.

"Defense counsel please speak."

The female judge was noncommittal and turned her attention to the other female lawyer sitting at the same table as Li Yonglian.

"Your Honor, my client has nothing to say."

Although the female lawyer was Ghost Richard's defense lawyer, she had no intention of defending Ghost Richard at all.

The ultimate reason is that this female lawyer is not the defense lawyer hired by Richard the Ghost at all.

She was also arranged by Zhou Quan. She was a lawyer at Jian Aowei Law Firm and one of Jian Dazhuang's disciples.

According to common sense, even if Ghost Richard is taken to court, he will definitely find a professional lawyer to defend himself, so as to mitigate the circumstances of his crime.

But Ghost Man Richard did not do this. Instead, he acquiesced to all the arrangements made by the police force.

The female disciple's statement at the moment was almost equivalent to an admission of guilt on behalf of Richard the Ghost.

But even so, Ghost Man Richard still remained silent.

As one of the senior police officers in the police force, he is most aware of the ruthless methods of Sir Quan in the Security Department.

As one of the secret agents deployed by Gui Lao's MI5, he is more aware of MI5's operating style.

Today, the police have obtained conclusive evidence of his crime.

So no matter how he defends himself, these charges will definitely fall on him.

The difference in the final trial result is nothing more than a fixed-term imprisonment of more than twenty years, or a life sentence.

Ghost Richard is nearly fifty years old this year, and there is no difference at all between the two trial results for him.

The only way he might be able to escape guilt is if Lin Yaochang and Tony Wen are unable to testify in court.

But the escorting process that had just happened, with Zhou Quan personally in charge, undoubtedly completely extinguished the last hope in his heart.

Now all the evidence is available and the witnesses are safe and sound.

Even if he continues to resist, there will be no significant change in his destiny for the rest of his life.

On the contrary, if he chooses to comply with Zhou Quan's wishes, he may still have a way to survive.

The arrest of these members of their illegal interest network will obviously cause heavy losses to the Gui Lao side's deployment on Hong Kong Island.

Especially since he himself is a secret agent of Guilao MI5, it is very likely that Guilao MI5 will impose family laws on him.

To put it simply, it means to completely silence them.

But if he complies with Zhou Quan's wishes and cooperates with the police's decision, he may still have a chance of survival.

After all, he did not make any resistance during the entire trial, and the police would not let him serve his sentence for the rest of his life and suffer persecution.

Losing freedom is certainly desperate, but it is better than being murdered.

Seeing that the foreigner Richard had a tacit attitude, the female judge did not make a direct judgment.

According to the procedure, the necessary evidence presentation link is still indispensable.

"Please ask the chief prosecutor to show all the evidence about the defendant."

Under the leadership of the female judge, Lin Yaochang and Tony Wen began to enter the scene one after another.

Lin Yaochang, with resentment against the foreigner, made an impassioned accusation.

Coupled with Tony Wen's testimony and the evidence of the entire illegal profit operation, the foreigner Richard was completely convicted.

"I now pronounce the verdict that the defendant Richard Rivers is guilty of multiple criminal offenses, including suspected occupational crimes and collusion with triads."

After discussing with jury members including Jane O'Way, the female judge finally struck the gavel in front of her.

"In accordance with Hong Kong law, the defendant is formally sentenced to life imprisonment!"

With Jane O'Way's influence and guidance, naturally, within the scope permitted by Hong Kong law, the highest sentence was made for the foreigner Richard.
