The judge questioned why Shi Ye had so many cases
In the judgement of the Court of Appeal, Paul Chan was questioned by the judge: "When a person has many cases, including rape, attempted rape, robbery, burglary, extortion, escape from legal custody, etc., why can he still serve as the "Criminal Litigation Manager" in a lawyer's office." .
Sentenced to ten years in prison for rape of female clerks in a lawyer's office in 1982
The reporter of "Hong Kong 01" confirmed from multiple independent sources that this Paul Chan is named "陈强利" in Chinese.
As early as July 1982, he was convicted of robbery and extortion and was sentenced to the training center.
In January 1983, Chen Qiangli was convicted of rape and attempted robbery and was sentenced to ten years in prison.
In January 1982, he pretended to be a client, entered a lawyer's office, raped a female clerk, and robbed her of 46.6 yuan in cash.
After she was released from prison in 1993, she raped the woman, bound her hands and feet, and threatened her with a knife
Ten years of behind bars did not allow him to change his past. In December 1993, shortly after his release from prison, Chen Qiangli entered the office of a commercial building on Chatham Road in Tsim Sha Tsui and raped a female employee.
The case pointed out that the victim who ran the company with her husband returned to the office alone on Sunday, and was threatened by the defendant with a knife, sealed her up, blindfolded, and bound her hands and feet. The victim also robbed the victim of more than 800 yuan in cash and gold necklaces and other properties.
The victim later called the police, and the police took a semen sample from the victim's panties, but Chen Qiangli has been at large.
Burglary arrested in 1994, pretending to be sick, abandoning insurance and absconding
Until 1994, he was finally arrested.
At that time, when Chen was preparing for the burglary of a commercial building, he was discovered by a security guard. He handed him a business card that he had prepared, falsely claiming that the management company staff came to check the security system, but the security guard called the management company for inquiries and revealed that the identity was suspicious. The police arrested him.
However, while awaiting trial, Chen Qiangli claimed to be unwell, and after successfully applying to the court for bail, he absconded and fled.
In 2002, he committed another theft and tried to escape from prison.
Chen Qiangli committed another crime in April and May 2002, stealing cash and computers at Fu Cheong Factory Building and Fo Tan Global Industrial Center in Mong Kok, respectively, and leaving cigarette butts at the scene.
The police arrested him through intelligence in the same year.
The police found that Chen Qiangli had no entry and exit records for eight years. Chen believed that Chen had been using other people's ID cards to cover up his life, and even found five other people's ID cards in his private car.
At that time, Chen Qiangli wanted to perform the same trick again, claiming to be admitted to the hospital if he was ill, waiting for an opportunity to escape in the hospital, and being chased by police officers on the scene.
In 2003, when Chen Qiangli was sentenced to prison for rape and theft, the police described him as the role of Anna Du in the movie "Catch Me If You Can".
The police described the technique as similar to Annadu in "Catch the Wisdom Two Heroes"
The police compared the cigarette butts in the burglary case and confirmed that the DNA of the rape case was the same person.
During the police chasing him, it was also discovered that he had pretended to be a property manager, designer, businessman, etc.
The police even pointed out that his criminal tactics and in the movie "Catch Me If You Can" (Catch Me If You Can), the protagonist of Leonardo's experiment was not much better, playing different identities to escape the pursuit.
At that time, the senior inspector in charge of the case, Wu Weihan, described Chen's criminal tactics about ten years ago as similar, focusing on lunch or holidays, and when the company had fewer people to handle, he would bury his hands in a company with only one employee.
It is worth mentioning that Wu Weihan, who was in charge of the case at the time, was later known as an "anti-triad superintendent". In 2018, he accepted a bribe of 570,000 yuan to shelter a prostitution establishment in Wan Chai and was sentenced to 28 months in prison.
Because of the many rapes and burglaries, Paul Chan has become the "Criminal Support Officer" of the lawyer's firm.
Become a "criminal litigation manager" of a law firm and act as a "submarine" middleman
In recent years, Chen Qiangli has been in the legal profession under the name of Paul Chan.
The reporter contacted many people who had settled with him, and they all described him as fond of combing the "sacred gambling head", driving famous cars, and wearing suspenders.
Because of his criminal record, he is not a lawyer or legal adviser. He uses the role of an intermediary commonly known as a "submarine" in the industry to solicit business.
According to the resignation of the Ma Jiajian case, Paul Chan served as the "Criminal Litigation Manager" of the "Chung & Associates" law firm that day.
Chung & Associates has now closed. According to sources, Chen Qiangli is currently the Criminal Litigation Manager of another law firm in Central.

No response from the current lawyer's office
The reporter called Chen Qiangli for inquiries. Another person answered the phone and confirmed that the call belonged to Chen Qiangli. After that, the reporter called several times, but no one answered.
The reporter visited the law firm and the staff said, "There was no response. This is a private place, please leave." The reporter then called the person in charge of the firm and the call was transferred to the office. After that, no one answered the calls.
