In September, 2112, the "Top Package Case" was formally opened for trial.
Although the testimony provided by the driver named Cheng is extremely unfavorable to Nicholas Tse and the police officers on the scene. However, on the first day of the trial, the testimony provided by other witnesses was beneficial to Nicholas Tse, and as a result, the whole case was in favor of Nicholas Tse. Because the driver surnamed Cheng said that after Nicholas Tse called him, he contacted Zhou Zhuhui, Nicholas Tse's personal assistant. Later, when he went to Xiezhai to get the owner's certificate, Zhou Zhuhui did it for him. Therefore, Zhou Zhuhui promised the ICAC to become a tainted witness.
Zhou Zhuhui became a tainted witness, which seems to be more like a "reasonable collision". The defense effectively used the rights granted by law and made full use of the feelings between Nicholas Tse and Zhou Zhuhui. In the end, when Zhou Zhuhui testified in court, all the testimony provided was beneficial to Nicholas Tse. In this regard, the ICAC is obviously extremely helpless. They did not trust Zhou Zhuhui very much beforehand, but they could not find better witnesses and evidence besides him.
Zhou Zhuhui spoke highly of the other side of Nicholas Tse's personality. He said that Nicholas Tse was teetotalless, not arrogant, friendly and caring for others. The reason why he made all kinds of incomprehensible behaviors was entirely caused by the media's annoyance in exaggerating and reporting his love life. As for the car accident, he admitted that he did receive a phone call from the driver surnamed Cheng that day, but he did not explain the specific content, not to mention bribery of police officers and collusion.
The driver surnamed Cheng told Zhou Zhuhui that because no one was injured in the incident, he admitted to the police that he was the driver who caused the accident in order to avoid the adverse impact on Nicholas Tse. Zhou Zhuhui said that he did know about this matter, and he didn't think it was a very serious matter at that time. What's more, he didn't know that the police had already known about this matter and conspired with the driver named Cheng. On April 5th, the driver named Cheng went to Xie Zhai to ask for his signature. Zhou Zhuhui said that on that day, Nicholas Tse was in a bad mood and just bought a new game from Taiwan Province, so he was addicted to it. He was not very clear about whether he fully understood the driver's intention. He just acted as an assistant. Because he really didn't know whether the driver named Cheng had discussed with Nicholas Tse about the "top package case" or whether Nicholas Tse knew the relevant details of the "top package case". Therefore, he can't provide testimony for what he doesn't know.
The most important person in this case was named the driver, because he admitted the crimes pointed out by the prosecution and was willing to be a tainted witness in this case, which won a lot of sympathy points when sentencing the court. However, the trial of his case has been completed before, and the court still ruled that he was convicted. Because of his meritorious service, his sentence was set at a discretion of four months. At the request of the defense and with the consent of the court, the driver surnamed Cheng was brought out of prison and testified as an important witness.
When the driver surnamed Cheng testifies in court, the situation is a little subtle. Qing Hong, a lawyer hired by Nicholas Tse, is an extremely famous lawyer in Hong Kong. He is familiar with the law and good at defending. He is famous for being good at grasping the weaknesses and omissions of the other side and fighting back in a big way. He can often disrupt the other side's position in a short time, making the other side's thinking confused. Sure enough, when he began to ask the driver named Cheng, after only a few rounds, the driver named Cheng was somewhat incoherent, and his confession was inconsistent. Qing Hong seized this kind of problem and asked it again and again. Nevertheless, in several key facts, the driver surnamed Cheng never changed his mind. For example, when a car accident happened, Nicholas Tse called him and said that he would handle everything by himself. Then, he rushed to the scene to negotiate with the police. After going to the police station, he called Nicholas Tse again. Nicholas Tse made it clear on the phone that he would be fine with the help of the police, and he knew everything. It is also true that on April 5th, the driver surnamed Cheng went to Nicholas Tse's house to ask him for a check. As for whether Nicholas Tse understood the purpose of the money, he was vague.
During repeated questioning, the driver surnamed Cheng changed his mouth, and he said that he was "wrong" or "wrong" in several places. The defense lawyer seized this point and said in his closing statement that because the driver surnamed Cheng only slept for three or four hours that night, his mind might not be clear. After suddenly receiving the news of the crash, he rushed to the scene in heavy rain. Therefore, the defense questioned whether he could remember some situations at that time accurately and comprehensively.
On October 2nd, the trial ended, and the court found Nicholas Tse guilty of conspiracy to obstruct judicial justice. The court immediately announced the detention of Nicholas Tse, waiting for the final verdict. Therefore, Nicholas Tse was sent to Hong Kong Piwu Correctional Institution for detention and began his first detention day in his life.
Nicholas Tse offered to clarify his arrest, and the ICAC took a separate statement from him for 21 minutes. Excerpts from the confession are as follows:
(Xie: Nicholas Tse Lin: ICAC officer Lin Jianming)
Xie: Actually, the car was mine. I hit it, but I didn't hit anyone, just hit the fence. I felt fine, so I called my assistant A Ding later and asked him to help me tow the car. Because I have to catch a plane to Thailand, after the crash, there was no policeman (that is, the police) present, and I never gave any benefits to the policeman (that is, the police).
Lin: Who was driving when the car crashed?
x: I did. Lin: Is there anyone else in the car? X: I'm the only one.
Lin: You said you called your assistant Ding after the crash. What is Ding's full name?
Xie: I don't know. He is responsible for helping me drive the nanny car.
Lin: How did you find Ding then?
Xie: I was so scared after the crash that I immediately made up my mobile phone.
Yang Shoucheng and lawyer Qing Hong and others were present after Nicholas Tse told us the telephone number. Qing Hong said that he would provide legal advice to Xie. After three lawyers went to the room to talk with Xie for 26 minutes, Xie stopped taking confessions from the ICAC and refused to sign the confession record.

Zhou Zhuhui's testimony
Since his debut, Nicholas Tse has always given people the impression of being a bad boy and flashy. The day before yesterday, his lawyer Qing Hong tried to praise the other side of Nicholas Tse's personality in court by questioning Zhou Zhuhui, Nicholas Tse's assistant. In Zhou and Qing Hong's mouth, Nicholas Tse was a teetotaler, not arrogant, friendly and friendly.
I'm not sure that Tingfeng knows
Zhou Zhuhui, who also testified in court as a tainted witness, is still an employee of Emperor Entertainment. He recalled that he received a phone call from Cheng Guoding on March 23 this year, and Cheng Guoding later mentioned to Zhou many times that no one was injured in the accident, which prevented Xie from being affected by the incident, so he thought to the police that he was the driver. Until April 5, Cheng Guoding was in Nicholas Tse.
Zhou explained that Nicholas Tse was in a bad mood that day because the media exaggerated his love life. It happened that Xie Gang bought the latest game machine from Taiwan Province, so he was intoxicated. At that time, Zhou was issuing a check and did not pay attention to the dialogue between Cheng Guoding and Xie. Therefore, it is not clear whether Nicholas Tse knows about "Dingbao".
Describe Xie's kindness
Zhou described Nicholas Tse as not arrogant and kind-hearted, and called Nicholas Tse dedicated to his career, so he and Cheng Guoding handled all the trivial matters of the company and life. Zhou made no secret that they "sometimes" made decisions for him privately without consulting Nicholas Tse.
Zhou was questioned by Qing Hong, a senior barrister of the defense, and revealed Nicholas Tse as a person in his eyes. He said that he rarely thanked for drinking, and even if he did, he was forced to drink one or two in social situations. He remembered that Xie was in a bad mood because of some reports about his love history and private life on the day when Chengguo decided to take the form to stamp the company seal. On that day, Nicholas Tse complained about some fictional and exaggerated reports about his private life. The verdict
On October 6th, the court officially announced the verdict, and Nicholas Tse was sentenced to 14 days' detention and 241 hours' compulsory social service.
After a hard life in detention, this is really a great test for him. The media will continue to pay attention to the "scandal" related to him, and the public will repeatedly measure whether he is still "rebellious", and this process will be extremely long and painful.
related news
according to the leaked news, the Hong Kong Independent Commission Against Corruption suspected that it was Nicholas Tse himself who had a driving accident that night. After the incident, Nicholas Tse quickly fled the scene, and instructed the driver named Cheng to "top the package". At the same time, they suspect that the police officers who handled the accident on the spot were aware of the incident, and the reason why they finally decided that the driver surnamed Cheng was driving was that they suspected that it involved bribing police officers and obstructing judicial justice. Therefore, they brought Nicholas Tse back to the ICAC for investigation. Therefore, some people commented that this action of the ICAC was quite humorous. As a public figure, Nicholas Tse can be arrested at any place and at any time. But they chose a very special time and place. In the early morning of 12, after all ordinary Hong Kong people fell asleep, the ICAC started this operation. They suddenly appeared at Cecilia Cheung's home in Tai Po Road and took Nicholas Tse away here.
When the ICAC arrested Nicholas Tse, it also took away Cecilia Cheung. Cecilia Cheung was not arrested, but brought back to assist in the investigation. This action seems to show that for more than a month, it was rumored that Nicholas Tse and Cecilia Cheung were together that night, and Cecilia Cheung picked Nicholas Tse up afterwards, which was not a rumor, but a fact.
this incident caused a series of troubles. Emotionally, Nicholas Tse obviously can't explain to Faye Wong. Therefore, the relationship between the two entered an unprecedented freezing point until the news of breaking up. At the same time, although his love affair with Cecilia Cheung was exposed, it was not favored by all walks of life, including people around him. Everyone thought that Cecilia Cheung and he were incompatible, and they would be in trouble when they were together.
What is more troublesome is that Nicholas Tse is suspected of "topping the case" and obstructing judicial justice. A person can tell lies in the face of serious laws, and can he be expected to tell the truth to others on other occasions? If convicted, he will go to jail.
After the news of Nicholas Tse's arrest by the ICAC was revealed, public opinion in Hong Kong exploded, and people around him were caught off guard.
Yang Shoucheng, the emperor's boss, and the company's lawyer quickly appeared in the ICAC. On the one hand, he needed to know the situation, on the other hand, he probably had the intention of mediating. Afterwards, he told reporters that Nicholas Tse's attitude was very cooperative and his performance was quite calm. Otherwise, he didn't say a word. Xie Xian also rushed to the ICAC at the first time. Naturally, he was thinking about his son's life when he was detained, so he brought a lot of things, including clothes and cigarettes. Later, he was worried that his son would have an asthma attack, and he returned to the ICAC for the second time and sent medicine.
This time, Nicholas Tse was summoned by the ICAC, mainly to obtain his confession. After the interrogation lasted for 21 minutes, Yang Shoucheng arrived with his lawyer and high-level officials of the Emperor, and the famous lawyer Qing Hong was also employed to intervene in this case. After the lawyer arrived, the interrogation was suspended. According to the relevant laws and regulations, the lawyer asked to talk to Nicholas Tse alone. After they talked in the next room for 26 minutes, Nicholas Tse stopped leaving a confession for the ICAC and refused to sign the confession already provided.
Nicholas Tse's father and mother were also present when the interrogation continued the next day.
36 hours later, Nicholas Tse was released on bail pending trial. At 2 o'clock in the afternoon of April 3, the media who had already received the news waited in front of the ICAC. At that time, he said nothing to reporters. When I got home, I found many reporters waiting outside the door. At one time, he wanted to leave through the back door, but reporters pursued him, so he had to go back to his apartment on the old Peak Road. Later, Nicholas Tse and his son talked with several lawyers for several hours at home. When the lawyers left, they were surrounded by reporters, but they didn't get any news from them.
The lawyers of the Emperor and Cecilia Cheung respectively issued statements on this matter. According to the statement of the Emperor, Nicholas Tse went to the Independent Commission Against Corruption to assist in the investigation of a traffic accident, and the Emperor Group has arranged lawyers to provide professional assistance. Because of Nicholas Tse's cooperation, I believe that the matter will be resolved as soon as possible. Cecilia Cheung's lawyer declared on her behalf that Cecilia Cheung was invited to assist in the investigation of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, and she would do her civic duty to assist in the investigation of the Independent Commission Against Corruption.
On April 23rd, when the driver surnamed Cheng was under investigation, he changed his initial confession. He told the police that at 5: 55 am, he received a phone call from Nicholas Tse at his apartment in Sham Shui Wan, informing him that his car had an accident. After a little understanding, he learned that there were no police officers on the spot, so he said to Nicholas Tse, You leave now and I will handle everything. Subsequently, he took a taxi to the parking lot of Oriental 188 Shopping Mall in Wan Chai, retrieved the company van parked there, and arrived at the scene of the accident at about 6: 31, when several police officers were present. He came forward to negotiate with the police officers, and the two sides reached an agreement. He came forward to take the blame and cooperated with the police officers to record false statements. After arriving at the police station, the police officer asked for an alcohol test, but he said that he had drunk alcohol that night and would definitely fail the test. The police officer just waved the instrument symbolically in front of him and pointed to the zero on it and said, No problem, the test passed. This testimony has pushed the police officers who handled the accident and Nicholas Tse to a very serious level. If the court finds that the testimony of the driver surnamed Cheng is true, it means that Nicholas Tse is guilty of hit-and-run and asking someone to take care of it. If it can be proved again that Nicholas Tse ordered the driver surnamed Cheng to bribe police officers, the crime will be even heavier.
When the driver surnamed Cheng admitted his crime, he had agreed to be a tainted witness for the prosecution. However, in the subsequent hearing, his testimony was inconsistent. When questioned by the prosecution's lawyer, he said that after receiving a phone call from Nicholas Tse that night, he immediately asked Nicholas Tse to leave the scene and arrived by car. There were already several uniformed police officers at the scene, and he told one of them that Nicholas Tse had left and he was willing to take the fall. The policeman asked him, "Do you have a tape recorder with you?" He said no. After checking the scene, the police officer asked him, "You won't hand over Nicholas Tse?" He definitely said no. So, the police officer took him back to the police station to record a statement. He also said that after recording the confession and coming out of the police station, he immediately called Nicholas Tse and told him that the matter had been settled. Later, he personally went to Xie Jia to see Nicholas Tse, because the police station asked for identification documents of the owner. After Nicholas Tse returned to Hong Kong from Thailand, he found Nicholas Tse with relevant certificates and asked him to sign the document and affix the seal of the owner "Xie Brothers Hong Kong Co., Ltd." (the accident vehicle was owned by Xie Xian and his son Nicholas Tse * * * with the license company). At that time, Nicholas Tse was so busy playing video games that he didn't have time to pay attention to it. So he stamped his own seal and signed it by Nicholas Tse's assistant Zhou Zhuhui. Nicholas Tse is suspected of obstructing judicial justice, and in the testimony provided by the driver surnamed Cheng, some police officers on the scene knew that the perpetrator was Nicholas Tse, but allowed others to cover a section, which further complicated the case. If the crime is finally convicted, Nicholas Tse will bear criminal responsibility for it.
Significant changes
However, in the past two years, the changes in Nicholas Tse have been obvious to all. Many people are changing their inherent impression of Nicholas Tse and starting to look at him positively. Even with minor flaws, people can understand him and evaluate him more objectively.
at noon on March 2, 2113, Grand Hyatt Hong Kong. Nicholas Tse's comeback press conference was held here. After half a year's withdrawal from the entertainment circle, Nicholas Tse once again stood in front of the media. What kind of image will he be?
