Chapter 166: Three years in prison
On the eve of the trial, because Chen Yi has been nominally adopted by Zhang Jing, so Zhang Jing has received a summons from the court on the same day, when Zhang Jing learned the news, she was blindfolded at that time, her right eyelid jumped in the past few days, she was afraid that Chen Yi would have an accident, but she didn't expect the most worrying thing to come.
Then Zhang Jing called Wang Yuyan and told Wang Yuyan about it, Wang Yuyan was also shocked on the phone, she never believed that Chen Yi really killed someone, she wanted to save Chen Yi, but she had no clue at the moment, as if Chen Yi had an irresistible power in this matter, so she couldn't start.
Zhang Jing was also very unwilling, so she discussed with Wang Yuyan on the phone that she must hire a good lawyer to fight this lawsuit for Chen Yi, even if Chen Yi cannot be acquitted, she must try to reduce Chen Yi's sentence as much as possible.
Wang Yuyan also agreed with Zhang Jing's approach, after the two of them talked on the phone, Wang Yuyan did not tell the old dean about it, she was afraid that the old dean would not be able to bear this matter, and the matter of Chenyi was enough for Wang Yuyan to be sad, she didn't want to see anything happen to the old dean.
In order to find a lawyer for Chen Yi, Zhang Jing ran a number of law firms, but they seemed to have received some rumors, and none of them accepted Chen Yi's case, which made Zhang Jing panic, without a lawyer to defend, Chen Yi would be difficult to be commuted, and she had no choice but to find Chen Qiang, Chen Yi used his relationship to invite a lawyer from other places to fight Chen Yi's lawsuit.
After the lawyer came, he immediately asked Chen Qiang for the details of Chen Yi's case, so that he could better defend Chen Yi in the next lawsuit.
In the next few days, Chen Yi spent his days in the detention room, except for sleeping, he was looking at the ceiling in a daze, and he thought about a lot of things.
Thinking of the old dean, Chen Yi knew that the old dean's health was getting worse and worse, and he had such a big thing, if the old dean was worried about his affairs, then he would be the biggest sinner, Chen Yi always felt that he owed the old dean too much, and his life was saved by the old dean, he swore that he would come out in the future, and he must honor the old dean well and repay him for saving his life and nurturing him.
But to say that Chen Yi is most sorry for Zhang Jing and Wang Yuyan, since he was a child, he grew up under the meticulous care of the two of them, the two of them are like their own mothers, they are about to become adults, if they are lucky, they can be admitted to a good university, and they can find a good job after coming out of college, so that Chen Yi can honor them well, but from now on, Chen Yi can't do it, he can only continue to blame himself in his heart.
In the past few days, Chen Yi has been constantly thinking about the process before and after his accident, as well as the information he knows, he knows that he is now a chess piece, a chess piece that can be manipulated by anyone, he doesn't want to be a chess piece, but this matter is not something he can control, and he doesn't want to betray Sophie's family, because he is a man, don't complain about anything, let alone do anything for his own interests, he has fallen into a mud pit, Chen Yi doesn't want to pull others to fall into it with him, maybe Chen Yi's current approach is also the so-called righteous anger!
In the past few days, time has been a kind of torment for Chen Yi, an unprecedented torment.
No matter how hard he suffers, there is also a day when it comes to the end, and on the day of the trial, Chen Yi has a feeling of relief.
The court opened at nine o'clock in the morning, and Chen Yi was taken away by four policemen at eight o'clock, and when he left, he was handcuffed and anklets.
At the moment when Chen Yi got into the car, in the top floor office of the Public Security Bureau, Qi was standing by the bed, holding a steaming teacup, looking at Chen Yi's figure, he gently blew the teacup, took a sip of tea, and watched Chen Yi go away.
Chen Yi sat in the car, looking at the receding scenery outside the window, he thought that if he held the court this time, the judge would give him a relief, and then he could leave alone.
Soon the courthouse arrived, and Chen Yi was surrounded by four policemen and entered the court's courtroom through a special doorway to the court.
Chen Yi thought that no one would come to see him at this trial, but when he was brought into the courtroom, he saw that there were a lot of people sitting in the audience.
Zhang Jing, Wang Yuyan, Tang Wenbing, Brother Kun, Chen Qiang, and even Aunt Li also came, the moment they saw Chen Yi entering, they all stood up, Wang Yuyan and Zhang Jing When they saw Chen Yi's emaciated figure, both of them cried bitterly.
Chen Yi stood there and looked at everyone in a daze, his heart was extremely sad at the moment, there was no modifier to express his heart at the moment, mixed tastes, he didn't know what to say, he thought he was ready to face the next fate, but at this moment the worldview he had established before collapsed at this moment.
How he wished that he should not be standing here at this time, but going to school, helping to take care of his younger siblings in the hospital, and living a happy life with everyone.
Chen Yi looked at everyone, his eyes were red at the moment, because he hadn't eaten for the past few days, he was already very decadent, he bowed deeply to everyone, and it took a long time to get up.
After getting up, he was led to the dock by the bailiffs, and the four bailiffs next to him also stood upright around him.
Zhang Jing and the others were sitting on the hearing table at this moment, they sat behind Chen Yi, looking at Chen Yi's weakened body, their tears couldn't stop flowing.
Chen Yi could feel the blazing eyes behind him, but he didn't look back, he was afraid that he would cry bitterly when he turned around.
With the sound of several hammers hitting the table, the scene fell silent, the judges were seated, and the lawyers from both sides entered.
At the beginning of the trial, the judge read out some matters aloud and then announced that the case of Chenyi's arson and murder would be tried in court.
Because Chen Yi is the first day of trial today, so on this first day, the lawyer who defended Chen Yi tried his best to defend Chen Yi, he pointed out that Chen Yi's case was full of doubts, and there was not enough evidence to show that Chen Yi was a suspect.
Because there were so many cases involved, the judge stopped at noon and resumed in the afternoon.
Chen Yi was taken away by the bailiff, Wang Yuyan and Zhang Jing wanted to step forward to take a good look at Chen Yi, they could see that Chen Yi's emaciated and decadent face must have suffered a lot inside, and before they could get there, they were stopped by the bailiff.
Chen Yi looked at them with a complicated expression, according to the regulations, Chen Yi couldn't speak, and finally under the leadership of the bailiff, Chen Yi reluctantly left, and was temporarily detained by the bailiff in the detention room prepared by the court.
Chen Yi thought that he could be sentenced on the day he was brought to the court, but because he had a lawyer, Chen Yi's case was held for three consecutive days.
In the three-day court, Chen Yi can see Wang Yuyan and Zhang Jing almost every day, and every time he sees them, it has become a luxury for Chen Yi at this moment.
On the afternoon of the third day, Chen Yi's case was finally tried, Chen Yi's lawyer is also very powerful, picking out several major elements of Chen Yi's suspicion in this case, he was resting, and confidently told Chen Qiang and others, if nothing else, Chen Yi's case will be dismissed, the rejection means that Chen Yi's case is accused of Chen Yi in insufficient evidence, and it is very likely that he will be acquitted in court.
This news is undoubtedly a great good thing for everyone, after Wang Yuyan and Zhang Jing heard it, they kept looking forward to Chen Yi being really safe!
'Knock knock' After the judge had struck the wooden hammer, he stood up.
"After this court's reference to the facts of the arson and murder case of Chen Yi and the defense of the witnesses, this court will make the following judgment on Chen Yi, the biggest suspect in this case.
Chen Yi because of the grudge with Xu Hu, both sides have an extremely serious revenge psychology, resulting in the death of one person during the brawl between the two sides, causing a fire, after the police investigation determined that Chen Yi is the biggest suspect, according to various evidence, Chen Yi was determined to be intentionally suspected of arson and murder, sentenced to 20 years in prison, but because the defendant is under the age of 18, in accordance with the relevant laws of minors, Chen Yi was finally sentenced to three years in prison!"
As soon as this news came out, it was like a bombshell information, Wang Yuyan and Zhang Jing had already covered their mouths and faced the judge's verdict on Chen Yi incredibly, they didn't expect that all kinds of evidence were beneficial to Chen Yi, but in the end they still sentenced Chen Yi to be a murderer, and the moment they heard the verdict, they couldn't cry again.
Chen Yi is also very desolate in his heart at the moment, he knows that he has no power to return to the sky, he can almost conclude that the judge has been bribed, he is not a fool, he stood on the stage for three days and listened to his own lawyer defend himself, all kinds of evidence proved that he did not kill anyone, and finally the judge still made a judgment on himself, Chen Yi felt that he was hopeless.
The verdict has been handed down, Chen Yi was also taken away, when leaving, Wang Yuyan and Zhang Jing were out of control to stop Chen Yi, and finally stopped by the bailiff, they kept calling Chen Yi's name, Chen Yi didn't dare to look back, and the follower bailiff got into the car.
Chen Yi was temporarily taken back to the detention room of the Public Security Bureau, waiting for him to be sent to the juvenile detention center next.
After Chen Yi was taken away, Wang Yuyan and Zhang Jing were already crying and fainting at the scene, and Chen Qiang and Tang Wenbing took them back.
Brother Kun also dialed Su Yang's number at the moment when the judge handed down the verdict, and Su Yang heard the judge's execution of Chen Yi on the phone.
Su Yang is also mixed in his heart at the moment, Chen Yi has been sentenced, he doesn't know how he should explain to Su Fei'er next, what he hopes most now is the progress of his side to investigate Secretary Shen's corruption, because only by knocking down Secretary Shen can he save Chen Yi.
