(Episode 8)
(This is a work of fiction.)
I've got it! It's Pei Pei.
She's smart. She copies what I do.
She knows how to draw this pattern to unlock it.
Are you considering bringing the cat to court?
Do you realize that what you're doing...
is wasting the court's time?
I really didn't do it.
Forget it. I'll plead guilty.
Okay, then.
I'll inform the court as soon as possible...
that you're pleading guilty.
I've seen this girl before.
As the defendant has changed his instructions for this case,
and the new instructions conflict with the old ones,
the defendant will hire a new legal representative...
to act on these new instructions.
I will no longer be representing the defendant.
Excuse me. I'm...
Mr. Kwan referred you, right?
Mr. Kwan is my mentor.
He gave me instructions to do my best to help you no matter what.
Because he said he believes you.
Let's not waste time.
Why don't you tell me everything from the beginning...
about what happened that day?
Try to be as detailed as possible.
That morning, I woke up late.
I had a bit of a fever.
But I was afraid of being late,
so I hurried out after feeding the cat.
I worked at the shop until noon.
I really couldn't hold on anymore.
My boss told me to go home.
I usually walk home,
but I felt really unwell that day.
So after walking a bit, I took a minibus.
Drop me off at the hotel, please.
- I'm sorry... - Are you done groping me?
I'm sorry.
You pervert.
Wait.
You said you didn't enter the hotel?
No, I really didn't go in.
And you're saying the person on the CCTV...
isn't you?
Didn't my mentor already try that for you?
The judge finds it implausible. Do you understand?
But the truth is, I really didn't.
To be honest,
I don't care what the truth is.
In short, if you want to win,
you must first admit that the person on the CCTV is you.
So you'll ignore the truth just to get acquitted?
You need to come up with a plausible story...
to explain it to the judge in court.
That's the only way to win this case.
But I don't know how to make up stories.
Why don't you make one up for me?
That's against the rules.
I'll find that girl for you first.
Think about your story in the meantime.
That guy doesn't seem to recognize us.
He's faking it.
We arrested him ourselves. How could he not recognize us?
- When is his trial? - Next week.
Hello?
(Medicine)
Sir, we found an illegal mahjong den.
We really found it.
Join us.
Twenty percent discount for two. Come and join us.
- But I've already joined one. - Which one did you join?
The one downstairs from my place.
How long have you been a member?
A year.
Come on. Join us.
Thank you.
- Good morning. - Good morning.
You've got to be kidding me.
I was waiting for you to speak up.
You said you'd ask for her number if you saw her again.
What a coward.
That's him. What's wrong?
Did that guy commit indecent assault?
Are you sure the date was October 15?
Yes, October 15.
That pervert kept staring at me on the minibus.
He was squinting and practically drooling.
It was so disgusting.
Driver, hotel stop, please. Thank you.
I'm sorry.
Are you done groping me?
He even bumped into me on purpose when getting off.
Did you take a video?
Yes.
It really is him.
Can you send me the video?
Sure.
And then you went into the hotel?
- Yes. - Did you see where he went?
He followed me all the way into the hotel.
He even followed me to the eighth floor.
What a pervert.
You knew he followed you into the hotel?
I didn't notice when I walked in.
I saw him when I was in the elevator.
He even followed me out of the elevator on the eighth floor.
Luckily, I had an appointment with that fatso to wait for me...
at the elevator lobby on the eighth floor.
I immediately dragged the fatso away.
But that fatso was a lecher too.
He asked me to the hotel for private photos.
He actually treated me like a prostitute.
We just went to court recently.
In the end, the judge sentenced him...
Excuse me. Please hold on.
Hello? Ms. Fung.
Hello?
Do you have a girlfriend?
No.
Then how do you usually satisfy your sexual needs?
What?
Answer me.
I masturbate.
Just masturbate?
Do you read pornographic magazines?
Yes.
Pornographic websites?
Yes.
Prostitution websites?
Yes.
So you do solicit prostitutes?
Yes.
You want to see the defendant's phone, right?
Yes.
I want to see the browser history on the phone.
Stop.
Please click on this URL.
(Working hours)
I want all the records of visits...
to this website for the three months prior to the incident.
Thank you.
Okay. Just a moment.
- Good morning. - Good morning.
I'd like to see the defense exhibits.
Here they are.
The second defendant retracted his statement...
in the middle of the trial,
causing the lawyer who represented him to resign.
The second defendant is now represented...
by a new legal counsel.
Besides the second defendant testifying again,
Ms. Fung, I'd like to estimate the time.
How many defense witnesses will you call?
I'll call two witnesses.
DW4, Yuen Ho Yee,
and DW5, Li Long Ching.
Also, the defense would like to apply...
to recall the prosecution witness, Inspector Lam Fei Cheung.
Mr. Lau?
The prosecution has no objection.
Granted.
Inspector Lam.
In the second defendant's apartment,
besides the stack of cash,
what else did the police find?
There was a lot of clutter in the apartment.
Could you be more specific about what you're asking?
Your Honor,
I'd like to present prosecution exhibit P5,
the photo album, to the witness.
Granted.
Please turn to photo number 12.
(Lei Tin Lam's residence)
Can you describe what you see in that photo?
There are some magazines on a stool.
There's a bag of cat food on the floor next to the stool...
and a pile of miscellaneous items nearby.
Now look at photo number 18.
What do you see there?
Also some magazines.
Could you please confirm...
if the magazines in photo 12 and 18...
are the same?
They should be.
To your knowledge,
what kind of magazines are these?
Pornographic magazines.
Based on these magazines,
what kind of person do you think the defendant is?
It's hard for me to judge his character...
based on a few magazines.
So I don't know.
Thank you.
Ms. Yuen Ho Yee.
Please introduce yourself.
I run an online shop.
I mainly do live streaming to sell goods.
What is the name of your online shop?
CocoQQ Love.
Why did you choose this name?
Because my name is Coco.
How did you meet the second defendant, Ah Lam?
He was a customer.
He bought things from my online shop, so we met.
He bought things from your online shop.
How did you sell the items to him?
That time, I brought the goods out...
to meet him for a face-to-face delivery.
After seeing them, he suddenly said they weren't what he ordered.
We had a bit of an argument on the spot.
In the end, I didn't sell them to him.
After you stopped doing business with him,
did you two have any further contact?
Objection. The question is irrelevant.
It pertains to the defendant's character.
Get to the point quickly.
Witness, please answer.
He kept calling to harass me.
When I answered, he wouldn't speak.
He just made strange noises.
Please describe the strange noises he made.
It sounded like salivating.
I don't want to guess. I don't want that image in my head.
What do you think was the reason for those salivating sounds?
I originally thought the second defendant...
was doing it because I refused to do business with him...
and that he wanted revenge, so he kept calling to harass me.
You thought?
Then what do you think the real reason is?
He harassed me simply because I'm pretty.
One last question.
Do you think the second defendant...
was harassing someone like this for the first time?
It wouldn't be surprising if he's a habitual offender.
He's a total pervert.
I have a call log between you two here.
Please confirm it.
Confirmed.
Your Honor, I'd like to submit this as defense exhibit D9.
Granted.
I, Li Long Ching, do solemnly swear...
and sincerely declare and affirm...
that the evidence I shall give...
shall be the truth, the whole truth,
and nothing but the truth.
Please take a look at prosecution exhibit P4.
Photo number 7.
There's a screenshot in photo number 7.
There's a girl in the screenshot.
Please confirm.
Is this girl you?
- Yes. - Where was this photo taken?
At the entrance of Avalon Hotel.
How did you get to the hotel entrance that day?
I took a minibus.
I got off near the hotel.
Roughly what time did you get off?
Around 12:40pm to 12:45pm.
What happened on the minibus?
A pervert on the minibus kept staring at me.
When I got off, he purposely bumped into me to grope me.
Please look at photo number 7 again.
Is the pervert you just mentioned...
in this photo?
- Yes. - Please point him out.
This one.
The witness pointed to the only man...
in the lobby wearing a red jersey.
I would like to ask, is this man in the courtroom right now?
- He's here. - Please point him out.
The witness pointed out the defendant.
Would you agree with me if I say this?
You and the defendant were on the same minibus.
The defendant kept staring at you on the minibus.
He then followed you off the bus...
and into Avalon Hotel, correct?
I agree.
I even captured his ugly behavior on the minibus.
Your Honor, I'd like to present a photo to the witness.
Granted.
You said you took a photo of the defendant's face.
Is this the photo?
Yes.
I'd like to apply to submit this as defense exhibit D10.
Granted.
Please read the time shown in the photo's data.
October 15, 2024, at 12:35pm.
Would you agree with me if I put it this way?
At 12:35pm that day,
you saw the defendant on the minibus.
But the defendant was also seen...
in an alley near the hotel.
Do you think that's possible?
Of course not.
I saw the defendant on the minibus with my own eyes.
How could he possibly be somewhere else...
at the same time?
The time that photo was taken was recorded by my phone.
How could it be wrong?
You said you went to Avalon Hotel after that.
What happened?
I had an appointment in a room,
so I took the elevator up.
But halfway there,
I realized that pervert...
had followed me from the minibus all the way to the hotel.
He even followed me into the elevator.
Please clarify who you mean by the pervert.
The defendant.
Then please refer to him as...
Refer to him as the defendant. Got it.
Thank you.
Please look at prosecution exhibit P5,
photo number 10.
Is this photo, as you said,
the moment you realized the defendant...
was in the same elevator as you?
Yes.
Let's look at photos 11 and 12.
Where were photos 11 and 12 taken?
At the elevator lobby on the eighth floor of the hotel.
First, let's talk about photo number 11.
What were you doing in that photo?
The elevator reached the eighth floor,
and I rushed out immediately.
I was meeting a client for a private photo shoot.
That's the fatso in the photo.
Then in photo number 12,
what were you doing?
The man who booked me for the photo shoot...
asked if I was Kiki.
I hurriedly pulled him away.
As we left, I looked back...
and saw the defendant following me out of the elevator.
Luckily, we soon reached room 809.
Before the fatso and I entered the room,
I took another look.
I saw the defendant in the hallway, looking around near the elevator.
So you saw the defendant in the hallway,
looking around near the elevator.
What happened after that?
After that, I entered room 809.
I closed the door and ignored him.
Thank you.
I have no further questions.
During the examination-in-chief,
you said the person you met on the minibus...
and the person you met in the hotel elevator...
were the same person.
Is that your testimony?
Yes.
Both were carrying the same type of bag?
Yes.
Both were wearing Red Devils jerseys?
Yes.
Both had beards?
Yes.
Both were South Asian?
Yes.
Based on just these four points, you think they are the same person?
Yes.
Other than these four points, you have no other reason.
Do you agree?
Yes.
I put it to you that...
these four points...
aren't enough to confirm that they're the same person.
- Do you agree? - I disagree.
I'm sure they're the same person.
Mr. Lau.
The prosecution has been using these four points...
to establish the identity of the second defendant.
Are you sure you want to challenge the prosecution's case this way?
Witness,
I put it to you that...
regarding these four points, you think they're the same person.
You're lying. Do you agree?
I disagree. I'm not lying.
I saw the defendant with my own eyes.
He even bumped into me. I'm certain.
I have no further questions.
- Ms. Fung? - No re-examination.
That's all the time we have for today.
To confirm, will the defendant testify?
I have taken instructions from the defendant.
He'll testify.
Any other defense witnesses?
No.
Very well.
I'll adjourn the case until tomorrow morning.
Court.
(Jordan Road)
The gentleman at the back asked me to pass this to you again.
Why don't you just say it?
I'm a bit nervous.
What?
He said he's a bit nervous.
I'll switch seats with you.
It's my turn to testify tomorrow.
I'm a bit nervous.
You've been in court before.
I told the truth last time.
I was just a bit nervous.
- But this time... - Trust Ms. Fung.
My apprentice is very capable.
She has learned everything from me.
It's just that I don't want to fight cases like I used to.
Anyway, don't overthink it.
Just do as she taught you.
Ms. Fung said you believe me.
Why?
It doesn't make sense.
But I just do.
I'm sorry.
First, I want to clarify one thing.
From the very beginning of this case,
we've been focused on a key question.
Is the person captured on the hotel's CCTV...
actually you?
Yes, it's me.
Defendant,
are you clearly aware...
of the implications of admitting it's you?
It's me, but I didn't steal any money.
On the day of the incident, you said you weren't feeling well,
so you asked your boss for a half-day off to leave early?
Please answer yes or no.
Yes.
When you left the shop,
what mode of transport did you take?
I was walking at first.
Halfway through, I got on a minibus.
What happened on the minibus?
I called Ho Mei Yee.
What did you say to her?
I didn't say anything.
I called her, but I didn't dare to speak.
She hung up.
Was that the first time you called Ho Mei Yee?
Yes. Wait. No.
I also called once two days ago on the 13th.
Do you know Ho Mei Yee?
Actually, I don't know her.
Then how did you get her number?
I was scrolling on my phone...
and saw her post selling jade.
Her phone number was there.
I thought she was cute, so I called her out of boredom.
Then why did you call her?
I...
wanted to get to know her.
But I didn't dare to speak on the phone.
Two days later,
I called again on the minibus.
But again, I didn't dare to speak.
So you called Ho Mei Yee,
but when the call connected, you didn't say anything.
Was it just like when you called the fourth witness, Yuen Ho Yee?
Defendant, please answer yes or no.
Yes.
I just wanted to get to know them.
I didn't mean any harm.
Back to the minibus.
What happened after Ho Mei Yee hung up?
I saw an attractive girl next to me.
Who was this attractive girl?
It was the witness, Li Long Ching.
You said Ms. Li was attractive.
What do you mean by "attractive"?
I mean she was sexy.
Why did you think Ms. Li was sexy?
Because her hot pants were really short.
Where did you get off the bus?
Near Avalon Hotel.
The girl in the hot pants,
the witness Ms. Li,
where did she get off?
Same place as me.
But when I got off, I accidentally bumped into her.
It really was an accident.
When you got off,
did you notice where Ms. Li went?
She went to...
Avalon Hotel.
An attractive girl going to a hotel.
Did you think she was up to no good?
Leading.
Let me rephrase.
What did you think of the witness, Ms. Li, at the time?
I had my suspicions back then.
I wondered if she was an escort.
Why did you think that?
Because I have a habit of soliciting prostitutes.
My mind went to the gutter.
Your Honor,
this is the browser history from the defendant's phone.
I'd like to show it to the defendant.
Granted.
Do you see the URL I've highlighted?
- Yes. - Please read it out.
6hk9hkxxx.com.
Look at the next page. Is that the website?
Yes, I've visited this site.
What kind of website is it?
This website...
is a guide for soliciting prostitutes.
It lists prices, addresses,
body measurements, and so on.
According to the records,
you visit this website every week.
What do you do after looking at these listings?
I go and solicit them.
Where do you usually meet?
Sometimes at brothels,
sometimes at my place,
or at hotels.
You just said you suspected the witness, Ms. Li,
was an escort?
Yes.
Because of your habit of soliciting prostitutes,
you mistook Ms. Li for one.
So you followed her into the hotel...
to see if you could strike a deal, right?
- Yes. - Leading.
I withdraw the question.
When you followed Ms. Li...
to the eighth floor, what did you see?
I saw her meet up with a guy.
But the guy asked for her name,
so I knew they didn't know each other.
I figured he was a client.
So I waited in the hallway for a bit.
What were you waiting for?
If that fat guy finished quickly,
I'd try to get a piece of the action.
Let me put it this way. See if you agree.
After you got off the minibus,
you followed Ms. Li to the eighth floor of the hotel...
because you thought she was a prostitute.
So you waited for a while...
to see if you could strike a deal with her.
Is this your testimony?
Yes, that's what I meant.
So you went to the hotel...
just to solicit a prostitute and for no other reason?
Yes, that's right.
I lost again.
I'm done. My luck is out today.
Really? Are you leaving so soon?
That's enough for today.
I won 2,000 dollars.
Just like that, I won 2,000 dollars.
Police! Get inside!
- Come here! - Get inside!
Police! Don't move!
- Don't move! - Police! Nobody move!
Put the mahjong tiles down!
- What do you want? - Show me your ID.
Against the wall! Put the tiles down!
ID! I said don't move!
Don't run!
Don't run!
Over there! Keep chasing!
Running away?
Quick. After him!
Sir.
On October 15, 2024,
did you go to room 821 of Avalon Hotel?
No.
Your Honor, I have no further questions.
Mr. Lau?
Yes.
(Fat Cheung)
- Hello? Fat Cheung. - Tak.
Is that conspiracy to commit theft case still on trial?
Yes.
- Is that South Asian guy in court? - He's on trial right now.
Are you sure?
Of course. He's the defendant.
You saw him with your own eyes?
Yes.
He has been on the witness stand all morning.
The defense has just finished questioning him.
It should be the prosecution's turn now.
Hello?
Defendant, you work in electrical appliance repair, right?
Yes.
You know how to fix many types of appliances?
Yes.
TVs, fridges, washing machines, and toasters.
I know how to fix them all.
Do you know how to pick locks?
I've learned how.
You know how to open electronic locks, right?
Answer me first.
Do you know how to open electronic locks?
Yes, I do.
The doors at Avalon Hotel use electronic locks.
You can open them without a key card.
Do you agree or disagree?
No, I don't.
Your Honor, I have no further questions.
With your skills, without a key card,
how can you open a locked door?
I would need tools.
I'd have to break the whole lock.
Only then would I have a chance.
Please look at prosecution exhibit P4, photo number 22.
What do you see?
A door.
This is a door at Avalon Hotel.
Do you see the electronic lock that Mr. Lau just mentioned?
I see it.
Can you describe this electronic lock?
There's nothing special about it.
It's just a normal electronic lock.
How is it "nothing special"?
It's just a normal electronic lock.
Why do you say it's just a normal electronic lock?
The lock is intact.
Yes, it's intact.
With your skills,
can you open it without breaking it?
Of course not. I only do repairs.
Your Honor, I have no further questions.
Sir, I found it.
Let's open it and see.
It's just a gambler who ran away.
No need to be so nervous.
Go back to that part just now.
A little further forward.
Stop.
Doesn't he look like the South Asian man on trial?
I can't see clearly, Fat Cheung.
It's not him.
He doesn't look like him at all.
The man on the minibus...
and the man shown on the hotel's CCTV...
are simply not the same person.
The defense is relying...
on the testimony of the defense witness, Ms. Li.
The prosecution believes that Ms. Li...
judged them to be the same person...
solely based on their clothes and build.
But the defense has no other corroborating evidence...
to prove they are the same person.
Ms. Li's testimony is unreliable.
The court should not accept it.
If it's accepted,
the court's ruling would be unsafe.
I urge Your Honor to give no weight...
to Ms. Li's testimony...
and find the second defendant guilty.
The prosecution's case states...
that the first witness, Mr. Chung Ho Ching,
had his key card stolen by the second defendant...
in the hotel's back alley.
The second defendant thus obtained...
the key card to room 821 of the hotel...
to enter the room and commit theft.
This claim is questionable.
The defense's case states...
that the defense witness, Ms. Li, witnessed...
and photographed the second defendant...
while he was on the minibus.
The second defendant's testimony states that...
he found Ms. Li attractive.
He thought she was an escort,
so he followed her into the hotel...
to see if she'd strike a deal.
Ms. Li had an appointment for a photoshoot,
so she hurried into room 809.
The second defendant didn't follow further.
On this basis,
it was impossible for the second defendant...
to be stealing a key card elsewhere at the same time.
Thus, there's reasonable doubt in the prosecution's case.
The prosecution can't prove...
that the person who stole the key card,
entered room 821, and committed theft...
was the second defendant.
Therefore, the defense urges Your Honor...
to find the second defendant not guilty.
Since there was more than one key card...
for room 821 of the hotel,
the prosecution has failed to prove...
that other than the first defendant and the victim,
the person who held the key card...
must be the second defendant.
The defense witness also pointed out...
that the person the first witness, Chung Ho Ching,
encountered at the moment the key card was stolen...
might not have been the second defendant.
Since the prosecution failed to prove...
that the perpetrator was the second defendant,
they have failed to prove beyond a reasonable doubt...
that the second defendant committed the crime.
I hereby rule that...
the first defendant, Ho Mei Yee, charged with conspiracy to steal,
is not guilty.
The second defendant, Ramesh Ramaiah,
charged with conspiracy to commit theft,
is found not guilty.
Court.
Ms. Fung.
You handled this case brilliantly.
- I truly admire you. - Thank you.
Why don't we exchange contact details?
Thank you, Ms. Fung.
- It's okay. - Thank you, Ms. Fung.
- You're welcome. - I'm really grateful.
You've already said that.
So can I go now?
Yes, you can go.
Okay, goodbye.
- Ms. Fung... - By the way,
when can I get my money back?
The police will contact you.
But they can be a bit slow sometimes.
Remember to follow up with them.
If anything happens, you can find Linda.
Linda will let me know.
We'll handle it for you as soon as possible.
(Jordan Road)
Congratulations.
You heard?
Ms. Fung told me.
No one believes the truth,
but they believe the lies instead.
The world is unreasonable.
Luckily, you and Ms. Fung helped me.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
My apprentice is talented.
She said she learned all her skills from you.
What's so interesting about it?
It's so old-school, right?
The world is simple. The characters are black and white.
I don't need to think too much.
I've finished this book. Are you interested?
Actually, I'm not good with words.
I only look at the fight scenes.
Dr. Lee, thank you for the ride.
I'm just taking it out for a walk.
Fufu.
Have you had a blood test for diabetes recently?
Don't scare me.
Come to my clinic for a checkup when you have time.
Fufu's nose is very sensitive.
It snarled at two of my friends before,
and they both tested positive for diabetes later.
By the way,
they said you met another South Asian...
who looks just like him?
Do you believe in something as ridiculous as that?
I do. I'd believe it no matter how ridiculous.
There's something I've wanted to share with you for a long time.
I've been sensitive to the supernatural...
since I was a kid.
When we arrested Ho Mei Yee,
I stepped on a sanitary pad.
My luck turned bad instantly, and I felt something.
Now you're being ridiculous.
It's true.
Ho Mei Yee was arrested at the airport and brought back.
