162. Public trial by the whole people

At 10 a.m. on August 20, the first all-people court in the history of the Ottonian Empire was held in Huajing Freedom Square.

Freedom Square is a large open square in Huajing City, and there is no cover around it, so this public trial is absolutely open and transparent. The most respected old president of the Imperial Court personally served as the presiding judge, and three people were selected from the first court and the military tribunal, a total of seven people formed a judicial team. In addition, a total of 120 representatives from all walks of life and public opinion representatives formed a hearing panel to avoid mistakes in the verdict.

Because it is a public trial, neither the plaintiff nor the defendant has a particularly clear direction like the ordinary court, and the verdict is on the Saint-Suri bombing case 14 years ago and a series of related matters, and the Sufeng team and the participants of the year, the parliament, jointly acted as the presenters.

Therefore, there will be countless possibilities in this public trial. Maybe in the end, no one is guilty, or maybe everyone is guilty.

Early in the morning, countless people gathered in the square, and the owners of the surrounding shops even closed their shops directly to avoid crowd congestion, and then they themselves stayed on the edge of the square early in the morning.

At ten o'clock, all the personnel are in place, and all the cameras are set up.

Every qiΔ“ here today will be faithfully recorded and recorded in history.

There was a lot of people, and even if everyone made a slight sound, it was as loud as the sea. But looking at the ubiquitous security around and the familiar faces who came to hear the trial, the atmosphere at the scene was still a little solemn.

The first step is for both parties to make a statement.

In the midst of all the attention, the two people walked out of the crowd on the left and right sides, greeted the light, stepped on the temporary high platform, and faced everyone.

Dean, yes, Tang Chuan.

In fact, what the two of them want to state is basically understood by everyone in the war of words and the national revelation some time ago, but when I listen to it again at this moment, I still feel trembling in my heart.

This is a statement, so the two of them did not make any guesses, judgments, or attacks on each other, as if they were just calmly telling a thing, but they brought out the murderous intent of fourteen years ago through time.

Next, it's the main event.

The presiding judge nodded to the person next to him, and the list of petitions submitted to the military court suddenly appeared on the huge light screen above the square, "Captain Tang, please explain this matter." ”

Tang Chuan saluted him from afar, and then raised his hand, "I request to present relevant evidence, that is, Lin Xuan's statement video." ”

Several judges exchanged views with each other and "granted." ”

Immediately, Lin Xuan's face appeared in the huge light screen above, and everyone looked at it carefully.

The video was very short, and the chief judge motioned for Tang Chuan to continue, but Tang Chuan smiled and said, "The video hasn't finished yet." What you saw just now is actually an encrypted version circulating on the Internet, and after watching this video several times, I found that as long as you unlock it, you can see a more complete video. Of course, this encryption is quite clever, and it can't be measured with ordinary software to do testing. ”

As he spoke, Tang Chuan nodded to Zhang Chaosheng, who was waiting in the audience.

Zhang Chaosheng made an OK gesture, and the video immediately restarted on the light screen. The first half is the same as the original, but the difference is that there is a lot more content in the back.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ The following is a distress message that I accidentally received before the explosion in Saint-Suri, and I tried to use this message to ask for help, but hypocrites and self-interested people can always cut off all your way out. You can choose not to believe it, but the truth will not be silent forever. ”

This was followed by a signal with a noticeable cacophony.

There happened to be an expert in this area from the Imperial Academy of Sciences on the hearing table, so he immediately deciphered it, and while deciphering it, he read the content to Mai, "Help us, they have surrounded this place, and there are people here who are suffering...... Wounded, his name was ...... Su Feng? ”

The man paused slightly, quickly put away his surprise, and immediately picked up, "This is Saint Suri, this is Saint Suri, this is Saint Suri, is there anyone to save us, I can't help it, is there anyone...... Please ......"

The information becomes very incoherent at the end, coming and going. The expert deciphered it with difficulty, his eyes were solemn, and his forehead was sweating.

The last sentence, "...... Please, save him...... May the eyes of truth gaze forever. ”

At the end of the video, the audience was silent......

Only Tang Chuan's clear voice was still loud, "According to this information, we can get two clues. First, Su Feng may not have simply died from the explosion of Saint-Suri, he had been injured before the explosion, and in the marching diary given by the council, there was only Su Feng's team in the entire Saint-Suli at that time, so where did his injuries come from? Two, the message says 'they have surrounded this place', who are they? ”

yes, who are they?

Who surrounded Saint Suri and wanted to annihilate the Su Feng team?!

Everyone was gossiping, and their eyes were turned to Dean with suspicion and shock.

Dean is still calm, and he can't shake a single bit of what a thousand people point, and his bearing is like a breeze and a bright moon. And as soon as he opened his mouth, he would definitely see blood, "Dare to ask, what evidence do you have to prove that this information is true?" ”

"And how does the Speaker prove that this is fake?" Tang Chuan cross-examined.

"Sophistry."

"And what evidence does the Speaker have to prove that the marching diary you gave is true?" Tang Chuan's eyes were fierce, "Could it be that what the council said is true, and what Lin Xuan said is false?" ”

As he spoke, Tang Chuan turned to look at the trial attack, and pointed sharply, "Is there also a relevant provision in the Imperial Constitution?" ”

"Tang Chuan, pay attention to your words." The trial gave a warning, but also acquiesced to Tang Chuan's statement, "The evidence on both sides is doubtful, you continue." ”

"Speaker Dean, I would like to ask you, on what basis did the council conclude that General Su Feng had defected?" Tang Chuan began to attack.

"Su Feng repeatedly refused to hand over information about Saint-Suri, and wrote something like that in his marching diary, so that anyone in the council who had been involved in this matter could testify. What reason do we have not to doubt? ”

"But I haven't seen any evidence of Su Feng's fornication with other countries, let me ask, if he really betrayed, why didn't you investigate it in the first place? It's like when your child is trafficked, you will only catch the trafficker and ask for the crime, but not find out who the buyer is? This doesn't make sense. ”

"It's not that I don't want to check, but I can't. First, there is no proof that he is dead, and second, the military department is trying to protect Sufeng, and the parliament does not have any authority, how can it be investigated? ”

The two of them come and go, one is young and heroic, the other is gentle and elegant, and their eyes have exchanged several times. The speed of speech is obviously not very fast, but it just gives people a feeling of swords.

And this progress is almost tearing your face!

"How to check? Could it be that just because they belong to different departments, even if you find someone suspected of treason, you don't go to investigate, this is what the parliament does? Tang Chuan said coldly, "The dignified Imperial Council, if you only have these abilities, where will you get the confidence to give General Su Feng a treason hat after fourteen years!" ”

It's such a clever mouth, and the noses of those who come to watch the battle in the council are crooked.

Dean said with a straight face: "Isn't this just like you now, you haven't seen it with your own eyes, how do you know that we haven't worked hard for this?" Fourteen years ago, the Parliament took the greatest responsibility for the explosion of Saint-Suri, and fourteen years later, there are still people killed one after another, blood, death, and the Parliament has paid such a terrible price, and who has avenged the dead once? Can you guarantee that each and every one of them has something to do with Su Feng's affairs? They all have their own families, and they have all contributed to the empire like Su Feng, but who cares? ”

"Then the question arises, why pick them to kill? Why don't you come and kill me, kill anyone here, kill them? Revenge is to find an enemy, and three-year-old children know this truth. Tang Chuan looked directly into his eyes without fear, and the words of the two of them did not pause at all, making people mention it in one breath, and they couldn't put it down anymore.

"But no one can justify this revenge, and killing people is an evil deed in itself."

"Well, since Speaker Dean says so." Tang Chuan suddenly turned around, "Your Excellency, I request that the relevant evidence of the slain be presented. ”

"Permission."

"Everyone, please see." Tang Chuan showed everyone the new content that appeared on the light screen, "Yorkson, a former member of the Supreme Council, was killed in the Blue River Star Villa in early February this year, and this is one of the victims that Speaker Dean just said. Blue River Star Villa, a well-known high-end residential area, the price of a villa is 500 million, and this councilor also has five villas of the same value hanging in his name, and he also participated in the financing case of Caton Company the year before last, with a profit of up to one billion. What's more, five years ago, Yorkson ordered someone to kill a 23-year-old young female artist in one of his properties. ”

The audience was in an uproar, staring intently at the screen. The information given by Tang Chuan is too detailed and the evidence is conclusive, and no one can refute it at all.

But that's not all!

"Next, Councilor Anqing. Five years ago, his wife suddenly fell ill and died......"

"Next ......"

"Next ......"

……

The next one goes on endlessly!

Everyone couldn't close their mouths, and Tang Chuan finally relented a little, and looked around, "Those who dare to attack the imperial generals have often broken through their own bottom line." People who can't even keep the bottom line have been in the council for fourteen years! Speaker Dean, don't you have anything to say about that? ”

Dean was silent with a solemn face. Just when everyone thought he was going to dodge the question, he spoke again, "If that's the case, I'll take back what I said before." It is true that the Parliament has suffered a great deal of damage after that time, but it is still our responsibility to have so many discrepancies. ”

Of course, no one will buy these words. The crowd was once in a state of agitation, just because there were too many people involved in these things, although the mastermind was dead, but so many things were put together, and the impact on them was too great! It's appalling!

And it was in the midst of this accusation that Dean, the powerful figure of the dignified council, suddenly bowed deeply to everyone on this high-profile platform. He lowered his head, bent his waist, and did not straighten up for half a minute, allowing others to spit on.

"This is the responsibility of the council, I do not defend it, and I do not evade it."

Tang Chuan stared, he didn't expect Dean to dissolve, but he didn't expect Dean to be so able to bend and stretch.

At this time, the presiding judge struck the hammer and said, "Rest for ten minutes." ”

Tang Chuan broke out so many scandals at once, the scene was too ugly, and these things also need to be verified as much as possible.

Tang Chuan returned to Zhang Chaosheng and Qin Hai and took a sip of water. Then his gaze crossed the crowd and fell on Helan who was in the hearing room.

The two exchanged a look, and the fighting spirit was rekindled.

Then, when the ten-minute break came, the judgment bench recovered from a rush of chaos, but instead of letting Tang Chuan and Dean continue on the stage, they directly intervened in the polls. People who are present or watching the live broadcast will be randomly selected to speak on stage, and the whole process will last one to two hours because it is as fair and impartial as possible.

This time, the atmosphere is even more lively.

You go up and say a few words, I go up and say a few words, and the whole Liberty Square is in the dust, and there has even been a collective response several times.

Someone from Su Feng's team was also selected to speak a few words on stage, and it happened that the one above him was from the council, so although the two sides did not face each other, they were full of gunpowder.

They were all around, and the next people who came to the stage stood and scolded the street.

Everyone began to cry, "Truth! The truth! Stop talking nonsense anymore and pronounce the sentence quickly! ”

"But what about the evidence?! Without evidence, no one can say how Su Feng died! ”

……

The scene is about to time and space, and the security guards inside and outside the stadium are nervous, for fear of a little accident.

The judgment seat hurriedly struck the hammer again, "Silence! Quiet! ”

Charlie was not afraid of death, and shouted loudly, "If you do this, you won't be able to do it until next year, dear!" ”

"Yes, yes, can you judge it directly!"

"How long will it take to ask such an obvious fact?!"

……

The gray-haired presiding judge was about to be angry and cry by this group of legal blinders.

Qin Hai pulled Charlie back, Tang Chuan looked at the opportunity, and took the stage again, "Your Excellency, today's topic is to find out what happened fourteen years ago, but now the evidence is insufficient, and the existing evidence is also suspected of falsification, so I hope to add more convincing evidence." ”

"And the evidence? Present. The presiding judge was steady.

Tang Chuan replied: "But I haven't got it yet." ”

"Tang Chuan, this is not the place for you to joke." The presiding judge's tone was stern.

"I'm not kidding." Tangchuan Station is like a green pine, neither humble nor arrogant, "As I mentioned in the video I presented just now, before the explosion of Saint-Suri, there were people who surrounded it. Later, Saint-Suri exploded, producing intense radiation, so someone who was there must have died there. We only have to go to the forbidden place to see it, and we will know the truth and falsehood. ”

To the forbidden land?

Is Tang Chuan crazy?!

Over there, Joey whispered something to Dean, and then walked out, "The central forbidden area of Mussoll has been closed for many years, and the radiation inside has not been cleared up until now, and it is extremely dangerous, you said you want to go in?" Who goes? ”

"But if you don't return to the scene of the crime, who can judge this case?" Tang Chuan asked rhetorically.

"In that case, Su Feng's squad is a special operations force, so you can go!" Suddenly, a loud voice interrupted the conversation.

Everyone looked over and saw that it was from the council, but they didn't know who it was. However, with the beginning of this sentence, the crowd shouted.

"Yes, you go! Whoever brings it up, who goes! ”

"Isn't this a clear way to send people to death? Don't be so vicious about this plan! ”

Fryer up.

", who are you talking about?!"

"Why don't you go to the council?!"

"General Su Feng was killed, and he has to prove his innocence, and now he has to risk his life to find evidence by himself, Lao Tzu is also a dog, and there is no royal law?!"

"Silence! Quiet! The presiding judge struck the hammer again and again, but to no avail. It was a huge Liberty Square, and his voice alone was minimal.

"Everybody's quiet!" Suddenly, someone in the hearing table opened the microphone, the loudest, and finally suppressed the noise for the time being, "Everyone, please be calm, in fact, if you think about it carefully, what Tang Chuan said just now is not wrong." Neither of us can convince anyone, and we can't really settle the case, and only by returning to Saint-Suri may there be a turnaround. However, it is not trivial to enter the center of Mussoor, I don't know if you thought about it before you proposed this plan, Captain Tang Chuan? ”

The person who spoke was Pang Su, the real power faction of the parliament, and many of the people present recognized his face. Listening to him, it seems to be quite fair.

But the question was suddenly thrown to Tang Chuan again.

Tang Chuan looked up at him, and Pang Su immediately wanted to pull the corners of his mouth to show a concerned expression, but halfway through his expression, Tang Chuan ruthlessly looked away.

Pang Su secretly clenched his fists, and a fire burned to his throat, making it difficult to swallow. He held back stiffly, and just wanted to speak, but another cold and stern voice came from the other side, "Councilor Pang seems to support this mention, you go?" ”

It was Helan, whose gaze was as cold as a blade, scraping on Pang Su's body like substance. Then he said lightly, as if with murderous intent.

Pang Su unconsciously broke out in a cold sweat on his back, "Where is Major General Helan, I'm just reminding you." Besides, everyone knows that Tang Chuan is your fiancΓ©, and we won't let him go. ”

This sentence seems to show weakness, but its heart can be punished.

Many people glared angrily, and there was an uproar in the audience, and Charlie even screamed to tear his mouth apart.

Helan only glanced at him coldly, "Blatantly playing with power tricks and flattery, Councilor Pang, this is the people's court, not the Double-Edged Building." ”

"Smack!" A loud slap hit Pang Su's face, which was swollen about two feet thick, and it was bright red.

Pang Su almost didn't suffocate to death with a mouthful of old blood, and his irritable temperament couldn't be contained anymore, so he stood up on the ground, "What do you mean!" ”

Helan said with an indifferent face, "Literally." ”

Listening to the faint laughter and boos from the audience, Pang Su was really angry.

At this time, Tang Chuan's clear voice suddenly sounded again, and he blocked Pang Su's next words back into his mouth.

The young man was calm and calm, his eyes were bright, "Whether it was fourteen years ago or fourteen years later, Su Feng's squad was the army of the empire. If you need us anywhere, we can't get rid of it. The honor of the empire is guarded by us, and in the same way, the grievances of our predecessors are also washed away by ourselves! We are soldiers, we never back down, we never give up, Saint-Suri, we go on our own! ”
