Chapter 100: The Trial

There was no conflict in the process of arresting those involved in the brawl, and the first few lightly wounded people who were found out quickly confessed the names of their accomplices, so a second arrest was soon carried out, and a total of seventeen people were finally arrested. Together with the seven dead and wounded found at the scene of the fight, the number is basically the same as what Harugong said.

"It seems that our grassroots organization work still needs to be improved, and the current model of the commune management committee has no ability to resist if something happens. Fortunately, this is an internal brawl, and if there is an enemy attack, I am afraid it will be difficult to organize people to defend themselves, right? In the past two days, there have been a lot more new immigrants entering the commune, and I think it is better to send some people to the commune to take charge. Gu Kai, who had just arrived at the commune, said worriedly.

"There are not a few staff on the farm commune, and people from the Ministry of Agriculture are working here. When it comes to manpower-related issues, Ning Qi is like being stepped on by the tail: "It's just that the military police department doesn't send people to guard the farm, and for safety reasons, most people will still return to Base No. 1 every day for the night." Usually three people were left on vigil at night on the commune's side. ”

"Our military police department can't help it!" Yan Chujie could carry this black pot, and hurriedly distinguished: "The military police department has never had enough manpower, and I have repeatedly emphasized this situation many times in the executive committee. ”

"Didn't the Military Police Department train a new security company?" asked Gu Kai reluctantly.

"It's said to be a company, but in fact, there are only two platoons!" Yan Chujie said bitterly: "There have been immigrants arriving in Hong Kong in the past two days, so most of the personnel have been sent to Shengli Port to maintain order." As for the situation on the second base, you don't know, as long as no one is watching, those Li and Miao people will have to fight in three days, and the scale of the brawl is not smaller than that of the commune!"

"Okay, okay, what we need to do now is not to be busy holding the management accountable, but to deal with the mess in front of us first. Tao Donglai saw that these guys were about to start a war of words again, so he quickly dissuaded them: "Let's talk about it." ”

"The rules and regulations of the commune have been repeatedly publicized when these people come in, so I think they will follow the system, and all those who participate in the brawl will be sent to the labor camp!" Yan Chujie said hatefully.

"Sending them to a labor camp is not a problem, but I think it is necessary to examine it first and find out the ins and outs of the matter, which will also be beneficial for us to carry out mass work in the future. Ning Qi also expressed his opinion.

"Interrogation is definitely necessary, but I propose to hold a public trial in the commune, first, to demonstrate our determination and ability to deal with the incident in a serious and speedy manner, and secondly, to educate the current members of the commune on the rule of law, so that they know the importance of respecting the rules and regulations. Tao Donglai synthesized the opinions of the two and added them.

"Then we need to organize a makeshift court?" Schneider, who had come to the commune to see the excitement, interjected with interest.

"I don't have to look at the courtroom, but the judge has to have one. Tao Dong said, and everyone's eyes turned to Gu Kai.

Gu Kai was stunned and said: "What do you want me to do? My profession is a lawyer, and I am the opponent of the judge......

"We don't need lawyers now, we just need judges. Look at it, is there anyone who is more familiar with the law than you now?" Tao Donglai patted Gu Kai on the shoulder and said, "Brother, change careers as soon as possible, judges are a very promising career!"

Gu Kai is not the only one who has worked in the judicial system among the traversals, for example, Ren Liang in the labor camp worked as a prison guard before the crossing. But if you want to talk about the in-depth understanding of laws and regulations, there are few people who can compare to Gu Kai. After all, the nature of the lawyer profession he engaged in before the crossing was quite special, and to put it mildly, it was to find loopholes in the law through the study of the law, and make reasonable use of these loopholes. Although at present, the Ministry of Military Police is still shouldering the dual functions of justice and law enforcement for objective reasons, but in the long-term planning of the Executive Committee, after formulating a legal system suitable for the current situation of time and space, it is only a matter of time before the judicial system becomes independent from the Military Police Department, and the future leader of the judicial organs, the Executive Committee unanimously believes that Gu Kai, who deals with legal provisions all day long, is the most suitable candidate.

In fact, in addition to participating in the daily management of the Executive Committee, Gu Kai currently spends more time on formulating the legal system. Of course, it may not be precise to say that it was enacted, but it is more accurate to say that it should be revised on the basis of the legal provisions of later generations and with reference to the actual situation of this time and space. This legal system covers civil and commercial law, administrative law, criminal law, economic law, etc., and the amount of work is quite huge, although it is only modified on the existing model, it is still a time-consuming work. According to Gu Kai's own estimates, when a complete legal system is formulated, the children of himself and his girlfriend Ressa will probably be able to play soy sauce.

Gu Kai did imagine before crossing over that the scene of his appearance in front of the public as the chief ** official of the Haihan Republic, the solemn atmosphere and supreme sense of authority in the courtroom were simply intoxicating, and the death row prisoners who shouted loudly "spare their lives" and the people who knelt on the ground and cried "Lord Qingtian" no longer seem to be the scene in film and television works.

However, even if Gu Kai wanted to break his head, he would not have expected that his first experience as a judge was actually in the rural barnyard, and there was no solemn atmosphere at all, and the table in front of him was still temporarily carried out from the commune management committee. Fortunately, the bailiff force to maintain order at the scene was still very strong, and dozens of soldiers with loaded guns stood around, making these people watching the trial all cower and dare not speak out.

These people did not all come to observe the trial voluntarily, and most of them were forcibly brought here, but everyone actually wanted to see how the Haihan masters were promoted to the court to try the case, and what kind of punishment would be imposed on those who were arrested for participating in the brawl.

Several other members of the executive committee present acted as jurors, which made Gu Kai, who was sitting on the bench for the first time, a little calmer. In the past, on this occasion, he was the one who stood on the opposite side and fought with the judge.

First of all, a member of the military police department loudly announced the discipline of the court, mainly reminding the observers not to make loud noises, not to disturb the order of the court, and so on. Of course, it doesn't matter if this program goes or not, because the people in the auditorium are so frightened that they don't even dare to take a breath, let alone make a noise.

"Take the prisoner to court!" Gu Kai announced the start of the trial with a straight face. As for what "criminal suspect" and the like, he was directly thrown behind in the courtroom, but there were no suspects, and he did not intend to engage in any "presumption of innocence", and all those who were arrested and tried were treated as prisoners.

Two security guards escorted a dejected young man forward and stood in the place marked "Defendant's Dock". The young man was still wrapped in strips of cloth on his head, and there were faint traces of blood oozing out, as if he had hung up his colors in the morning fight.

After asking basic information such as name and age, Gu Kai quickly cut to the chase: "Did you participate in the brawl at the entrance of the village this morning?"

"I'm just going to help my third uncle......"

"Answer the question, did you participate in the brawl?" Gu Kai was not interested in slowly pulling it off with him, the most important thing in today's brawl case was to characterize and deal with it, as for the cause, it was not so important. Besides, these 20 or so prisoners are waiting for trial, and they will be carefully interrogated one by one, but I am afraid that they will not be able to finish the trial until dark.

“...... Be. ”

"When you joined the commune, did you learn the rules and regulations of the commune?"

"Did you know that fighting in the commune would be punishable by re-education through labor?"

"Who else are you working with?"

Gu Kai's trial was very fast, so fast that he didn't leave time for the interrogated person to think at all, and this honest peasant young man didn't seem to have any sense of quibbling at all, and explained the problem truthfully. The trial of the first prisoner was completed in less than five minutes. And then the second, the third......

By noon, more than half of the prisoners had been tried. Seeing that it was almost lunchtime, Gu Kai announced an adjournment for an hour. The commune's food was served by the collective canteen, and lunch had already been prepared and brought to the courtroom, so for a time there was a strange scene of judges, juries, prisoners, bailiffs, and spectators eating together.

Several heads of the executive committee sat together and discussed the course of the trial in the morning while eating, and at the same time discussed the final punishment scale.

"The morning trial has made the case clear, typical of the conflict between old and new immigrants. Gu Kai pointed out the key points of this case: "If we do not adjust the relevant resettlement measures in time, I am afraid that it will be difficult to effectively eliminate this kind of thing only by punishment after the fact." ”

The cause of the incident was very simple: the older members of the commune thought that the newcomers did not understand the rules and did not follow the arrangements when it came to work. The new immigrants thought that the old members were purely difficult, and deliberately suppressed them with the support of the Haihan people. Early in the morning, there was a dispute between the two sides over the distribution of labor tasks, and the conflict quickly escalated from a quarrel to a grabbing, and then there were bloody people who started to the guys, and finally it turned into a big brawl with several dead and wounded.

"When these new immigrants arrived in Hong Kong before, they also arranged for them to go to a labor camp to see it, and it seems that the deterrent effect is not enough!" Yan Chujie sighed regretfully. He came up with the idea of allowing new immigrants to visit the labor camps, but now it doesn't seem to have worked well, and it's only been a long time since so many people dared to openly violate the prohibition and pick quarrels and provoke trouble.
