Chapter 101: Cousin Lin is out on bail...
Chapter 101
"Ms. Lin, let's go to the office to talk." Lawyer Li led the way with a smile.
Lin Mujin tried to calm herself down and not be so impatient. "Excuse me."
The two of them sat down, and a young female assistant brought them tea. Lin Mujin began to explain, "Actually, I'm not entirely sure what happened. My brother didn't come home last night... We later found the nearby police station, and this is what's going on now. I'd like to ask for your help in handling this case."
Lawyer Li nodded repeatedly. "I understand. This isn't a serious criminal case. Ms. Lin, don't worry. There's no problem getting bail."
Then he stood up and grabbed a briefcase. "I know Miss Lin is anxious. Let's go directly to the police station. Once I meet Mr. Lin, the person involved, everything will become clear."
Lin Mujin was eager to do so. "Okay."
The two took a taxi directly to the police station.
In the car, Lin Mujin began to describe some details.
The specific situation of cousin Lin, including his name, age, work experience and some information she knew about the company.
Lawyer Li listened carefully and did not interrupt.
After she finished speaking, he said, "You two siblings have such a good relationship."
Lin Mujin almost cried. They grew up together, so how could their relationship not be good? "Yeah, so I can't let anything happen to him."
Soon the taxi arrived at the police station and the two got out.
Lawyer Li turned around and said, "Ms. Lin, you can wait for me at the coffee shop across the street."
Lin Mujin couldn't drink coffee right now. "I'll just wait in the lobby."
It would be good to know the news about Cousin Lin earlier.
Lawyer Li didn't say anything more and went to the police officer to apply to see the client.
He has connections, so naturally things go smoothly.
Lin Mujin waited quietly in a corner of the hall, only occasionally raising her wrist to check the time. Three minutes, five minutes... the lawyer came out.
He quickly trotted forward, "Lawyer Li?"
Lawyer Li remained calm. "I've asked him about it, and Mr. Lin denied breaking the lamps. He said a colleague called him into the warehouse to help. When he entered, the room was dark and he heard the sound of glass breaking, but he insisted it wasn't him. He went to turn on the lights and found they were broken, so he left. Later, his supervisor discovered what had happened and reported it to the police."
Lin Mujin frowned, "That doesn't prove my brother..."
Lawyer Li continued, "Mr. Lin's fingerprints were on the lamp."
Lin Mujin asked, "Is there a prince?"
Lawyer Li nodded. "Yes. Because the lamps were thoroughly wiped down before being put into storage, and the cleaners wore gloves. Actually, the value of a few lamps isn't that high, but the problem is that they're movie props, which will affect the production. The other party might ask for an exorbitant price."
Lin Mujin understood what he meant. Compensating for the lamp was useless. If he wanted to rely on money, he had to compensate for the loss of the film's delayed start. "So, Li Lu, what do you mean?"
Lawyer Li said, "I'll go and get bail first."
Lin Mujin clasped her hands together and said, "Okay."
The bail process went smoothly, and Lin Mujin finally met her cousin Lin.
"Brother!"
Lin Mujin suddenly hugged her cousin Lin and burst into tears.
Cousin Lin's eyes also turned red, and he patted her on the back, "Stop crying, you're like a child, you'll be laughed at."
Lin Mujin wiped away her tears and said, "I'm not a child."
Cousin Lin rubbed his hair again.
Lawyer Li was watching the brother and sister from the side, and was not in a hurry to speak.
Seeing that the two men had calmed down, he stepped forward and said, "Mr. Lin, please don't go abroad recently. You must be ready to receive summons at any time."
Lin Mujin bowed directly and said, "Thank you, Li Lu."
Li Lu curled the corners of his mouth. He was not so unhappy about the favor he had done to get the client released on bail immediately. Otherwise, the client would not have been released after a few days of completing the formalities.
This girl knows how to behave.
"It's my job."
The three of them went to a nearby cafe together.
Lawyer Li spoke first, "There are doubts about this case, and the police will continue to investigate. However, we can't just wait and see. Mr. Lin, now is not the time to hide anything. You must tell me everything truthfully so that I can make a judgment on how to handle this case. Even if you admit that you broke the lamps on purpose, I will find a way to reduce your compensation."
Cousin Lin was a little excited, "No, the lamp has nothing to do with me."
Lin Mujin frowned, "Brother..."
She didn't understand what Cousin Lin was trying to hide.
Cousin Lin tugged at his hair in frustration. "My ex-girlfriend recommended this job to me. I think she borrowed the influence of her current boyfriend. I don't know if her current boyfriend knows about it..."
Lin Mujin added, "The current boyfriend is a rich second-generation man with some power."
Lawyer Li nodded in understanding, and he said it was a setup. "This is very important. I'll report it to the police. What's the name of the ex-girlfriend and her current boyfriend?"
He wants to get as much information as possible.
Cousin Lin replied, "Zhu Rongrong, as for her boyfriend, I don't know."
Lin Mujin added, "It seems his last name is also Li."
Lawyer Li's mouth twitched. He seemed to have heard of the name Zhu Rongrong. Her current boyfriend also had the surname Li.
A bit of a bad association.
But his expression remained unchanged. He took out a pen and paper and said, "Okay, I'll write it down. Zhu Rongrong is these three words, right?"
Lin Mujin took a look and said, "That's right."
Lawyer Li put down his pen and said, "You don't need to worry too much. This case is not a big deal. The value of a few replica lamps is not that high. We just filed the case reluctantly."
After hesitating for a moment, he finally said, "Don't put all your hopes on the police station."
This kind of small case will definitely not be the focus.
Lin Mujin understood, "Then can we hire a private detective ourselves?"
She really has no experience in this area. She was a law-abiding citizen in her previous life.
Lawyer Li hesitated for a moment and said, "It's easy for a private investigator to overstep his bounds. I don't recommend you hire one."
Although a bit selfish, his advice was very pertinent.
Lin Mujin didn't know what to do for a moment. After thinking for a while, she asked, "If the police station doesn't have any new clues, when will my brother's case go to trial?"
Lawyer Li thought for a moment and said, "About a month."
He then described the worst-case scenario, "If there are no new leads and Mr. Lin is convicted as the sole suspect, would you be willing to pay compensation to mitigate his punishment?"
"willing!"
"no!"
It was Lin Mujin who said she was willing, and it was her cousin Lin who said she was not willing.
Both of them were very resolute.
Lin Mujin frowned and said, "Brother, even if you lose money, you can earn it again. Talent is the foundation."
Cousin Lin covered his face and said, "I can't go back to living in a subdivided flat because of my family. I might as well go to jail."
Lin Mujin quickly said, "That's not the case. We have to trust Li Lu."
Li Lu suddenly felt a great sense of responsibility and said, "I will do my best."
He was going back to the old house to talk to his grandfather.
