Crossing Hong Kong to be a police officer, but the system is wrong

Sham Shui Po, Civil Legal Advice Centre.

Song Shijie and Chen Jin walked into this dilapidated legal aid agency while chatting.

Originally Chen Jin planned to come by himself, after all, it was his younger brother Qiu Gangao's business.

Although Song Shijie had told him that no barrister was willing to take the case for some reason, Chen Jin was still very grateful for the help of his former boss.

After all, if he hadn't pointed out Situ Jie's flaws during their last meeting and pointed out the inaction of the defense lawyer during that trial, the two brothers would never have been able to think of a way to break the impasse no matter how hard they tried.

"Ah Jin, you don't have to be polite to me. I came here because I'm very interested in Luo Liya."

As soon as Song Shijie finished speaking, a man in a T-shirt and jeans stood up from the desk by the window.

The man was about forty years old, with a greasy face, messy hair and wrinkled clothes.

Song Shijie took a closer look and found that he was not ugly, and even looked a bit like his master Huang Jiahui, but his sloppy temperament was very different from Huang Jiahui.

I only heard the man shouting: "Who is looking for Luo Liya?"

The voice echoed in the room, and the words were very clear.

Song Shijie looked at the slovenly middle-aged man with great interest and asked, "I recognize you! Are you Lawyer Luo Liya?"

Although the original owner had seen this guy on the cover of an authoritative magazine seven years ago, the image of that elite lawyer in a suit and tie was too different from the one in front of him.

Chen Jin frowned. Although he was mentally prepared for the appearance of this "commoner lawyer" after listening to Jiang Kaicheng's description, this person's image still exceeded the limits of his imagination.

"It's genuine! Don't look at me like this, I have a barrister's license. I wonder if you two... Hey! Are you Song Shijie, Song Sir?"

This time the person who was surprised was Luo Liya. He never dreamed that someone like Song Shijie would patronize his consulting center.

It was normal seven years ago.

"It's genuine. I also have a warrant! Mr. Luo, we came here this time because we want to entrust you as the defense lawyer for a case."

Song Shijie joked and then directly stated his purpose.

"Oh, then I'm very interested in listening. Come, let's go into the reception room and talk, please!"

……

"My two Sirs, are you sure you want me to take over the case of Qiu Gangao and the other five?"

After listening to the details of the case from Song Shijie and Chen Jin, Luo Liya confirmed with them again.

Ever since he experienced a case seven years ago that made him feel deeply guilty and condemned by his conscience, Luo Liya resolutely decided to exile himself and no longer take on any criminal defense work.

He was once famous for his sharp words and excellent debating skills, but now, he has spent seven years in obscurity, like a hidden sword.

"Mr. Luo, please don't mind me. To be honest, we didn't ask you to defend this case because of your former fame. On the contrary, now you are the only big lawyer in Hong Kong who can take over this case..."

Song Shijie did not hide anything and told Luo Liya that all the big lawyers who were familiar with his family refused to take the case.

Of course, there is no need to mention the deeper reasons behind it.

"I never thought that after seven years away, the legal profession would become like this! Is there any fairness at all? These people completely put their personal desires above the rule of law!"

Song Shijie didn't expect that Luo Liya was even more indignant than him. He gradually began to understand why this person opened this center in Sham Shui Po.

In ancient times, this would be a chivalrous man who pleads for the people!

"Sir Song, no matter what other lawyers say, I, Luo Liya, will take this case!"

The fighting spirit in Luo Liya's heart was rekindled, and he secretly decided to let this case be the first shot of his comeback!

……

Luo Liya followed Chen Jin to meet Qiu Gangao and others to go through the appeal procedures, while Song Shijie returned to the O-Triad headquarters.

He has always admired the life principle of Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, who started with a bowl and conquered the country - either do it or do it to the extreme!

Of course, Hong Kong law gives Qiu Gangao and others the right to appeal if they are dissatisfied with the first-instance verdict, but the appeal also requires approval and procedures.

Song Shijie was very clear that this case was no longer just a legal issue of whether those police officers used violence to extract a confession and beat the suspect to death!

The all-round media offensive launched by the other side is very fierce!

The first step was to use some media to release the inside story of the trial, seemingly to speak up for Qiu Gangao and others, and to establish Situ Jie as a role model of the upper echelons of the police force - thus undermining the morale of grassroots police officers.

In the second step, another part of the media quoted the views of "authoritative experts" to refute the former, equating the behavior of Qiu Gangao and others with the entire police force, smearing the image of the police force, and causing citizens to subconsciously equate the profession of "police" with "violent law enforcement."

The third step is to show the real purpose. Ignoring the chaos of social order during the 1970s and 1980s when the white-collar rule lasted for a long time, the question is: Why has Hong Kong become like this now? I really miss the days of the four little dragons...

It is obvious what the purpose of the last point is!

Of course, the other party is still in the first step, and the subsequent offensive will still take time to ferment, but the memories of the previous life make Song Shijie very clear about how that group of people play.

If Cai Yuanqi and others could understand Song Shijie's thoughts, they would probably call themselves experts, because these were exactly the specific steps they had carefully planned!

Song Shijie even thought of the subsequent cheering from those evil Western media. It was nothing more than making some trouble before the 08 Olympic year!

This is also the reason why he is so anxious to get rid of Situ Jie: to do things directly and thoroughly, so that the opponent's subsequent offensive will be ineffective!

At this point, Situ Jie’s own problems are no longer important. The police force is very important without him!

Song Shijie hesitated for a moment, but still took out his cell phone and called Minister Liu's private number to report the cause and effect of the incident and the other party's possible subsequent actions.

Although Minister Liu was a little curious about how Song Shijie was able to obtain such level of secrets from the enemy again and again, the country firmly trusted Song Shijie's position.

"Shijie, you did a great job! The field of public opinion has been dominated by the West for a long time. The information you submitted last time was discussed by some people and they attached great importance to it. We will definitely strengthen this aspect in the future..."

Minister Liu's words were very clear. Before the Olympic year, stability overrides everything. We will resolutely not allow the other side to take the opportunity to stir up trouble and discredit the country. The mainland will deploy everything in advance.

He allowed Song Shijie to do whatever he wanted in Hong Kong. As long as he didn't cross the red line, the country would back him up no matter what happened!

It was similar to what Situ Jie had said to Qiu Gangao at the beginning, but Song Shijie knew that they were completely different in nature. The former was pure deception, while the latter was a real reassurance.

What he has to do now is a method that has been proven feasible in future public opinion wars: using incidents such as celebrity scandals to divert public attention!

This time, Song Shijie decided to sacrifice himself!

……

Just when the citizens of Hong Kong were focusing their attention on the closed-door trial of Qiu Gangao and his men, Song Shijie posted a special message:

Haven't you been wondering why my personal series of movies has not been scheduled for filming? I have good news for you. The leading role has finally been decided. Do you want to see the female version of Song Sir? I didn't expect to see my girlfriend playing me? Please leave a message in the comment section!

Once this X-featured message was released, it immediately caused an uproar!

Netizens reposted and discussed the news, and the media rushed to report it! Suddenly, people on the streets and in the alleys, after dinner, were discussing this topic, and the popularity kept rising, becoming the well-deserved hot spot in the city!

(First update, I wrote a lot and deleted a lot, after all, it involves many sensitive areas...)
