Chapter Seventy-Six: The Jury

Early in the morning of July 5, Lin Feng rushed to the front door of the Assassin's Mansion and welcomed Chen Feihong's family, who had arrived in advance, into a side room in the Assassin's Mansion and began to carry out "pre-trial reconciliation".

Lin Feng took out the human body structure diagram he had drawn, told the original cause of Adil and Yang Qianfang's crazy move to dissect the corpse, pointed to the two second-class goods sitting in the corner, and persuaded him very sincerely:

Lin established the Department of People's Livelihood of the Academy of Sciences and set up a medical research team, which is to understand the operating mechanism of the human body through in-depth research, explore the mechanism of various diseases, and finally let medicine solve all diseases in the world and let the world get rid of the pain and harm. These two people are the Chinese and foreign medical masters I have discovered, and they are also the people with the most hope for a rapid medical breakthrough. But these two people are too focused on medicine, they are both medical maniacs, and they are ignorant of the world, so they have caused such a catastrophe. Today, on behalf of the Academy of Sciences, Lin sincerely apologizes to you! ”

Chen Feihong sat there and arched his hand to Lin Feng, and two lines of clear tears flowed down.

"Excuse me, was Ling Zun bedridden before he died, and there was blood in the urine? Will the situation worsen if I eat every day? Lin Feng tried his best to recall the symptoms of kidney failure in the later generations and asked.

Chen Feihong raised his head in surprise: "Lord Lin, how do you know this?" ”

Lin Feng pointed to Adil and Yang Qianfang, and explained: "These are all found during the dissection of these two people, Ling Zun's kidneys have begun to atrophy, losing the role of resolving food toxicity and transporting essence, and the toxins in Ling Zun's body are accumulating more and more, and once eaten, it will aggravate the condition." ”

All of a sudden, including Adil and Yang Qianfang, everyone in the room looked up at this magical "Doctor Lin". Chen Feihong's eyes widened, and he had a completely unbelievable expression.

Lin Feng's face was full of pain, and he bowed his hand to Chen Feihong: "Through the analysis of Ling Zun's illness, we have made great contributions to solving the pain of similar patients in the future. Lin expressed his deep gratitude, and on behalf of the Academy of Sciences, he sent a hundred yuan of thanks to the Chen family. At the same time, on behalf of these two bastards, compensate the Chen family for one hundred times! ”

A corpse has to pay 200 yuan? This number made the people in the room tremble, Chen Feihong stood up "openly", looked at Lin Feng with a complicated expression, and opened his mouth to speak.

Lin Feng stretched out his hand to stop Chen Feihong, and said sincerely: "For the unfortunate experience of the Chen Mansion, no amount of money can make up for the sadness in your hearts, Lin only hopes that this money can help you live a little more peaceful and smooth in the future, so as to comfort Ling Zun's spirit in the sky." ”

Chen Feihong cried again and couldn't say a word.

"Let's go, let's go to the public trial!" Lin Feng stretched out his hand and asked the Chen family to go out together.

At this time, the main hall of the Assassin's Mansion was smashed into a courtroom scene where there were more auditors and the audience seats were removed. All the officials of Shouzhou sat in the auditorium on the left, and on the right, there were twelve empty seats.

After Lin Feng asked all the relevant personnel to take their places, the people walked out of the main hall, passed through the open space in front of the hall, and came to the door of the Thorn Mansion.

Outside the gate of the mansion, there were still a lot of Shouzhou people who heard the news and came to see the excitement, and they were looking inside the door, when they suddenly saw Lin Feng walking out quickly, and many people were startled.

There is no way, in the past ten or so days, Lin Feng has taken action to rectify the interesting story of the crowd that Chu Yan can sweep the floor has already spread throughout the city, and these people are now coming to watch again, it is strange if they are not timid!

"Don't worry, I would like to invite 12 people of Shouzhou who are upright and fair to the main hall to participate in the people's jury. It is stated in advance that there is no remuneration. Excuse me, are there any folks who are willing to participate? Lin Feng raised his voice and said.

An old man with a gray beard was the first to raise it, and many people immediately raised their hands.

Lin Feng smiled and bowed his hand to express his gratitude, and then asked each person's occupation one by one, and randomly selected people from different age groups such as street vendors, handicraft workers, ordinary residents and farmers, and invited other onlookers to enter the infield to observe.

When the twelve jurors sat down opposite the officials of Xiaoshou Prefecture in a nervous manner, Lin Feng walked up to the main table and said loudly: "Now, we are openly trying the case of Adil and Yang Qianfang stealing the body of Chen Feihong's father and conducting an autopsy. Because the two criminals were both members of the Shouzhou Academy of Sciences, in order to ensure that the entire trial process was fair and impartial, 12 Shouzhou citizens were specially invited to observe the hearing, exercise the responsibility of supervision, and provide recommendations for the verdict. ”

The officials of Shouzhou, who were already a little inexplicable, all widened their eyes. What? The government actually wants a group of people to supervise the case and make suggestions? Did Lin Feng go out of the circle and really go crazy when he came back?

For everything today, Lin Feng is borrowing from the jury system of the civil law system. Of course, in the context of the era when Chinese officials and people have no consciousness, Lin Feng will not directly let the jury make the final verdict on the spot, but will adopt a gradual decentralization approach, first let everyone know that not only officials in the world judge cases according to the law, but also have such a first-class, open and fair way of adjudicating cases!

Lin Feng ignored the shocked eyes of the audience, and continued: "Everyone, please be quiet, I will introduce the overall case first. ”

Subsequently, Lin Feng explained the cause and effect of the incident, and solemnly apologized to the Chen family with Adil and Yang Qianfang on the spot, and said that he would give and compensate the Chen family for a total of 200 yuan, which immediately caused everyone at the scene to look at each other. 200 reparations for a corpse? That's definitely a staggering amount.

When the scene was silent, Dou Shanfeng, a member of the Shouzhou Judicial Army, stood up and bowed: "Lord Lin, according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, those who steal the corpse must be imprisoned for more than one year. Ah and Yang, as officials of the Academy of Sciences, not only stole the corpse, but also wantonly humiliated them, and escaped from the scene after being discovered, so they should be guilty of one more degree. ”

The judicial army is in charge of the prison in a place, similar to the public security chief of a city in modern times.

Lin Feng pondered for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Ah and Yang are dedicated to studying profound medicine, and their original intention is not to insult the corpse; Yesterday, the two of them sincerely apologized, restored and washed the body, knelt down to send the victim back into the coffin, and compensated the injured, so the sentence should be commuted as appropriate. ”

Dou Shanfeng's voice raised slightly, and he arched his hand and said, "What does Lord Yilin mean, as long as some money is issued afterwards, the offender can easily escape the law?" Isn't this money buying sin? ”

"Of course not!" Lin Feng answered, walked in front of the jury, and bowed, "Fellow villagers, Ah and Yang are doctors who really study medicine, and they moved their minds in a hurry, and afterwards they also discovered the cause of Chen's father's illness, and made a certain contribution to the development of medicine, and they have sincerely apologized and obtained the understanding of the Chen family."

Lin had a compromise suggestion: Ah and Yang must wear their uniforms for one year, during which they must not leave Shouzhou; From tomorrow, I will volunteer on the streets of Shouzhou for a month, and then provide free medical treatment for the people of Shouzhou for a month. ”

Lord Thorn Shi is really asking us to make a decision! The twelve jurors who had been a little nervous were instantly knocked down by this happy thought, and then carefully consider Lin Feng's suggestion, it is beneficial to the people of Shouzhou, besides, the owner of the family will not be held accountable, what are we going to do! The twelve nodded in unison.

Lin Feng stretched out his hand to stop Dou Shanfeng, who wanted to speak again, and said in a loud voice: "According to the opinions of the judges of the people, the punishment of Ah and Yang will be discussed accordingly. This official announced that this case is officially closed! ”

In this way, Lin Feng quickly cut through the chaos and decided this strange case of autopsy on the spot.

Compared with the later cases, the first jury verdict initiated by Lin Feng seemed extremely rudimentary, crude and ridiculous. However, the jury system is the first attempt of Shouzhou justice and even Datang justice to shift from legal judgments to case law. And all this, I think it was deliberately detonated by Lin Feng. ”
