Chapter 1014: Above the Courtroom
Early the next morning, when Duan Yun opened his eyes, he found that Ouyang Xiangnan next to him was no longer there.
Duan Yun got up and walked to the kitchen, and found that Ouyang Xiangnan was hanging an apron at this time, frying eggs in front of the stove.
"Morning!" After seeing Duan Yun coming, Ouyang Xiangnan greeted with a smile.
"Early. Duan Yun couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw Ouyang Xiangnan's normal expression.
Afterwards, Ouyang Xiangnan brought the prepared breakfast to the table, and the two ate face to face.
After the meal, the two left the apartment, and Duan Yun drove Ouyang Xiangnan straight to the High People's Court in Kyoto.
Since Ouyang Cheng's case was a public trial, and this was a typical case of anti-crime in the country, many reporters came early in the morning to report on Ouyang Cheng's final trial.
After entering the gate of the court, Ouyang Xiangnan's face began to tense, and he grabbed Duan Yun's arm tightly with both hands.
Feeling a little painful from being scratched in his arm, Duan Yun didn't say anything, and after the two took out their ID cards and got the permission to audit, they entered the auditor position in the hall next to them in advance.
At this time, the trial had not officially begun, and in contrast to Ouyang Xiangnan's nervousness, the audience and reporters around him were all relaxed, talking and laughing.
When the clock in the courtroom pointed to nine o'clock, the court's judges entered the hall on time.
At the head was an old judge who looked to be fifty or sixty years old, with gray temples and a face that was not angry and arrogant.
Behind the old judge, followed by several jurors and clerks, after several people sat down, the plaintiff's lawyer and the prosecution's lawyer also achieved their respective positions at the same time.
This was the first time Duan Yun had observed the court's trial, and although it had little to do with him, he still felt that the atmosphere at the scene was a little depressing.
After the court clerk confirmed that all the persons present were present, he immediately informed everyone present, including observers, that they must abide by court discipline, and announced that the case would be formally opened.
"Take the defendant Ouyang Cheng in!"
With the old judge's order, the door on the left side of the hall was pushed open, and two bailiffs escorted a tall middle-aged man in.
This middle-aged man is none other than Ouyang Cheng!
I saw that at this time, Ouyang Cheng's hair had been shaved, he was wearing a blue and white prison uniform, his hands and feet were shackled, and his expression was calm and calm.
"Dad!" After seeing his father enter the hall, Ouyang Xiangnan couldn't help but exclaim loudly.
After Ouyang Cheng heard his daughter's shout, he immediately looked at the auditorium, his face twitched, but then he turned his head back, and under the guidance of the two bailiffs, he sat down in the defendant's seat.
"Dad......" Ouyang Xiangnan burst into tears at this moment, choked up and shouted again.
Ouyang Xiangnan's actions immediately attracted the attention of all the people present, and several reporters looked like men picked up their cameras to take pictures of Ouyang Xiangnan, but they were all blocked by Duan Yun.
"Silence!" Seeing this, the clerk in the front row immediately shouted to Ouyang Xiangnan in the judgment seat, and the two policemen in charge of the scene also walked towards Ouyang Xiangnan for the first time.
"It's okay, it's okay!" Seeing this, Duan Yun hurriedly covered Ouyang Xiangnan's mouth, and said to the police officers who came over with a smile on his face: "We're silent, forgive me." ”
Seeing that Duan Yun was accompanied by Liansheng, the two policemen turned around and left.
After seeing the courtroom return to silence, the trial officially began.
After the old judge confirmed Ouyang Cheng's identity, the prosecution began to state Ouyang Cheng's crimes and evidence.
It's a very long process.
At the beginning, the Xishan Provincial Police had already begun to send informants undercover a few years ago to secretly collect evidence of the crimes of the Ouyang Cheng gang, coupled with the repeated investigations in the past six months, now the criminal indictment of the Ouyang City gang has been sorted out more than 800 pages, and the file on the table is more than half a meter high!
These are all evidence of Ouyang Cheng's crimes in Heyang over the years and the confessions of relevant personnel, and even include the latest investigations, including some cases he participated in in Beiyuan in his early years, which shows that the police in Xishan Province attach great importance to his case, and spend a lot of manpower and material resources, just to make Ouyang Cheng not have any possibility of overturning the case!
Due to the complexity of the case, it took the prosecutor more than an hour to complete the statement of Ouyang Cheng's crime.
During this period, Ouyang Cheng, who was sitting in the defendant's dock, was expressionless from beginning to end, and he had obviously expected this situation.
And Ouyang Xiangnan, who was sitting in the auditorium, kept crying, and Duan Yun next to her kept comforting her in order to prevent her from being too emotional.
In fact, at this moment, all the people present had already understood that there was no room for argument against the facts of Ouyang Cheng's crime, and the fact that the underworld organized crime leader alone was enough to make Ouyang Cheng take a shot!
The next procedure is for the prosecution to present evidence and witness testimony, and the undercover officers of the Xishan police appeared one by one to prove the facts of Ouyang Cheng's crime.
Just like the plot in the famous movie "Infernal Affairs", many of these witnesses were subordinates and brothers who were quite trusted and respected before, but at this moment, they became the last straw that overwhelmed Ouyang Cheng.
Although he was deceived and betrayed by these people, Ouyang Cheng still couldn't see any change on his face in the dock at this time, and he didn't make any angry reaction or refutation, his waist was still straight, and his eyes were always looking directly at the judge sitting in front of him.
Seeing this, Duan Yun's last glimmer of hope before on the sidelines was gone, and he understood that Ouyang Cheng had no hope of turning the tables at all.
In the subsequent court debate, the lawyer team hired by Ouyang Xiangnan at a high price before was indeed dedicated enough, and tried to refute the prosecution's evidence chain as much as possible one by one, and the prepared materials were also piled up like a mountain, with clear logic and sharp eloquence, trying to alleviate some of Ouyang Cheng's crimes, although the facts of Ouyang Cheng's crimes were already ironclad.
In the final stage of the court debate, the top team of lawyers in China also showed a lot of good deeds that Ouyang Cheng donated to public welfare and disaster relief in the early years, many of which amounted to millions of dollars.
I have to say that the lawyer representing Ouyang Cheng is very eloquent, he is clever and witty, and his voice has the tenderness and touching portrayal of Ouyang Cheng's good deeds, trying to shape Ouyang Cheng into a person with a hidden conscience and goodwill in his heart, in order to make the court slow down Ouyang Cheng's crimes.
So much so that the judge in charge of hearing the case was a little moved from time to time after hearing the speech and statement of this well-known lawyer......
