Chapter 29: Rogue Lawyer Shen Wei
Zhai Yuan took a taxi all the way to the Sau Mau Ping Police Station in Kwun Tong District.

Coming to the police station to work had nothing to do with Liang Zhichao. When Zhai Yuan was in the Walled City, he arranged for him to go back to the housing estate to inquire about the situation from the neighbors around him.

When he opened the car door, besides Chen Jiale, there was also a middle-aged young man in a cheap suit following Zhai Yuan.

The man's name was Shen Wei, and he was a well-known rogue lawyer in the Walled City. According to his own boasting, with his resume, he should have been working in a law firm in Central, Hong Kong Island, enjoying air conditioning. However, because he offended a big lawyer in the industry a few years ago, he had his lawyer's license revoked for three years. Since then, he has been unable to recover and has been hiding in the Walled City all day long, helping people fight minor civil bail lawsuits.

However, Zhai Yuan is skeptical about this statement.

Because when they met in the Walled City just now, he saw Shen Wei yelling and shouting in front of a gambling table. He lost so much that he couldn't even afford to buy chips, but he still had to satisfy his curiosity and help others make decisions, just like a gambler.

Of course, you can't believe what a gambler says.

"Mr. Shen, can you really handle this?"

Standing at the door of the police station, Zhai Yuan asked Shen Wei one more question. He was really uneasy about the other party's attire.

He had messy hair like a chicken coop, wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses full of scratches, and wore a brown suit that had been polished to a shine, with a what looked like a white shirt underneath, the collar of which was slightly yellowed, and a pair of black canvas shoes on his feet.

If no one had seen his lawyer's license, no one would believe that he was a top student who graduated from law school.

"Don't worry, boss. I come to Sau Mau Ping Police Station three, five, seven times a month. It's just like going home."

Shen Wei smiled at Zhai Yuan, his white teeth inconsistent with his sloppy image.

"Come with me, and I will guarantee that your employees will be fine." Shen Wei took out a horn comb from his arms and walked up the steps of the police station while fixing his messy hair.

Zhai Yuan patted Chen Jiale on the shoulder and comforted him, and the two of them walked into the police station together.

Shen Wei was indeed familiar with the place. After entering the police station, he lowered his head to comb his tangled hair. He didn't even look at the road and walked straight to the investigation desk.

When the police officer sitting at the desk saw him, a difficult expression immediately appeared on his face.

"Lawyer Shen, the cafeteria is closed today. If you're hungry, go to the street corner and get yourself a bowl of beef offal, okay?"

Shen Wei shook off the loose hair stuck on the horn comb, put the comb back into his arms, straightened his collar, and then looked up at the police officer who was talking to him.

"Hello, Sir. My name is Shen Wei, and I'm a licensed member of the Hong Kong Bar Association..."

“Dededededede!”

The police officer on duty at the case handling desk stood up from his chair, waved his hand to interrupt Shen Wei's self-introduction, sighed helplessly and said: "Brother Wei, which neighbor or relative asked you to do something this time?"

Shen Wei still had a serious look on his face. He turned around and introduced Zhai Yuan behind him: "This gentleman is my client, an employee of my client. He was brought in by your police officers today for no reason. Now I request his bail."

After that, he pointed to Chen Jiale next to him and said, "Zhong You, this is another employee, Mr. Chen Jiale, who was at the scene when the incident happened. Because of your police's rough law enforcement methods, Mr. Chen was frightened and accidentally fell from the third floor. He feels very uncomfortable now. If he doesn't feel better tomorrow, we will apply to the court for a medical examination, and the court summons will be sent to the police station on time."

Wow! There's something!
Zhai Yuan felt much more at ease when he saw Shen Wei talking so eloquently.

Regardless of his professional level, this shamelessness of taking the initiative shows that he is at least 50% capable of doing this.

After Shen Wei finished speaking, the police officer on duty smacked his lips with a headache and turned his attention to Zhai Yuan.

Looking at the young man in front of him, who was about 17 or 18 years old, he regained some of his dignity: "Hey! Kid, what's wrong with your friend? Molestation? Fighting? Or burglary?"

Although Shen Wei had said that it was Zhai Yuan's employees who wanted to be released on bail, the police officer on duty did not take this statement to heart at all.

The younger brothers under the Young and Dangerous are also called employees, and judging from the age of this kid, he is obviously a child gang member of Sau Mau Ping, and the crimes he committed are nothing more than the ones I just mentioned.

"Hello, sir. I'm here to talk about the case that happened this morning in the Sau Mau Ping Estate where the police broke into residents' homes and seized their property." Zhai Yuan said slowly.

"What did you say!" The police officer on duty glared at Zhai Yuan.

"Hey!" Seeing this, Shen Wei reached out to stop the police officer and said, "Sir, Hong Kong advocates freedom of speech. My client can say whatever he wants. Even if he says that he offended Youde's mother, you have to listen and take notes."

Youde is the new Governor of Hong Kong who took office in May this year. "Mr. Zhai, please continue." Shen Wei smiled and signaled to Zhai Yuan.

Zhai Yuan continued, "According to my brief estimate just now, I lost two televisions and two VCRs in the two private houses I rented in Sau Mau Ping, and about a hundred or so videotapes, with a total value of more than 20,000 Hong Kong dollars. Sir, which police department should I ask for compensation for this money?"

The police officer on duty frowned upon hearing this and looked at Zhai Yuan deeply: "Are you the owner of that weird video studio in the estate?"

"It's me." Zhai Yuan pointed at Chen Jiale next to him and said, "This is another employee of mine. Lawyer Shen has just talked about his case. He is here now. If you don't file a case, I will pretend that it never happened. Otherwise, I will apply to the court for a medical examination. Lawyer Shen, is that right?"

"That's right." Shen Wei nodded and replied.

The police officer on duty looked at Shen Wei, then at Zhai Yuan and Chen Jiale, his face full of confusion.

He remembered what his boss had said before, and said with a stiff upper lip: "Mr. Zhai, someone has reported you for illegally showing movies, organizing streetwalkers to pick up customers, and suspected of harboring drug addicts..."

"Wow!" Shen Wei shouted exaggeratedly, interrupting the police officer.

Then he fumbled in his pocket and took out a pocket recorder, which he placed in front of the officer on duty: "Officer number PC36725, junior police officer Zhang Guoyong. Please repeat what you just said. I want to keep it and use it as evidence in court in the future."

Upon seeing this, the police officer on duty took a step back and his lips tightened instantly.

"Brother Wei, please stop messing with me!"

After a pause, he said something helplessly, waved at Shen Wei, and signaled him to turn off the recorder and come closer to him.

"It was Shao Yahui's brother-in-law who took a fancy to your client's business. Your client himself has a bad record and can't even produce a license, so he was caught in one fell swoop!"

"Who is Shao Yahui?" Zhai Yuan stepped forward and asked.

The police officer on duty glanced at him and said nothing.

Shen Wei explained, "The inspector of this police station is Shi Binghui. But don't worry, boss. They can't win this lawsuit with me here."

Zhai Yuan hummed, without making any comment.

After thinking for a moment, he spoke again: "I want to bail out my employees first, and also take back the detained machines. Is there any problem?"

"Hey, my boss is asking you a question!" Shen Wei knocked on the table in front of the police officer on duty.

"I can't make the decision on this." The police officer on duty looked embarrassed.

"Then find someone who can make the decision to come out and talk to me! Do you want to see Shao Yahui? I'll go to his office myself."

Shen Wei shook his hair confidently, turned around and said to Zhai Yuan: "Boss, leave the rest to me. Do you have any other requests?"

Zhai Yuan shook his head. He wanted to see what the other side was doing first.

"Okay! I'll get the man and the machine ready by tonight, and I'll call you then."

As Shen Wei was talking, he wrote down the number of the convenience store downstairs in Zhai Yuan Housing Estate. Seeing that he had nothing else to say, he tugged at the hem of his suit, walked around the desk, and walked into the police station with his head held high.

"Sir, may I ask who is the brother-in-law of Inspector Shi?"

After Shen Wei left, Zhai Yuan stood in front of the investigation desk, handed a cigarette to the police officer on duty and asked.

The police officer looked up at him, then lowered his head to sort out the documents on his desk, saying, "Deng Zecheng, a member of the Hong Kong Directors Association. Handsome, don't say I didn't remind you, if your background isn't as strong as his, you'd better give up the video parlor business, otherwise you won't be able to keep it for long."

Zhai Yuan raised his eyebrows and nodded slightly.

He turned back and gave a bright smile to the worried-looking Chen Jiale: "Let's go, Brother Jiale, go back to the estate and wait for news from Lawyer Shen. Have a good rest during this period. I'll give you and Ah Chao a short vacation, and your salary will be paid as usual."
