Chapter 261: Acquittal

Liu Yi is in court for the first time, and it is also a military court, so it is inevitable that he will have some ups and downs in his heart, and he always feels that he has no confidence in his heart.

Since it was a private military court, there were not a few people in the entire hall, and there were only two or three people in the auditorium.

Liu Yi thought to himself: "It seems that no one pays attention to this case, not even anyone who is listening." ”

Just as he was thinking, the corner door of the hall quietly opened, and a man crept in and sat down in the corner of the auditorium.

Liu Yi saw that it was Xu Jing, and I don't know what method she used to sneak in.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

The judge on the bench tapped the table with a small hammer to signal that the surroundings were quiet, and the trial was now officially opened.

"Now the case No. 4619 is being heard, the case of the negligence of the chief of the White Rock Fortress, Liu Yi......"

Liu Yi didn't have much interest in what the judge said, his eyes kept looking at the auditorium, only to see Xu Jing cast an affirmative look, and then nodded slightly, implying that Liu Yi was okay with everything.

Xu Jing was very confident, Liu Yi suddenly put a lot of heart at ease, with her on the scene, presumably Wu Tian could also deal with it calmly.

The judge proceeded in an orderly manner according to the prescribed procedure, and when the judge summoned the plaintiff, Liu Yi found that the other party only came with a very ordinary-looking clerk.

Since it was the Ministry of Defense and not the military of the Mammoth System that prosecuted Liu Yi this time, the Ministry of Defense casually only sent an ordinary person, and it can be clearly felt that the Ministry of Defense does not attach importance to this trial.

Liu Yi guessed in his heart that he was sent to the military court, perhaps as a result of the efforts of Tang Jie and others, and the Ministry of Defense should just be a formality, no wonder Xu Jing was so confident.

If the process of the trial is as Liu Yi expected, the judge just walked through it casually according to the procedure, and then it was the representatives of both sides who made the statement.

The clerk sent by the Ministry of National Defense read the indictment from the book, and then it was Khotan's turn to make a statement on behalf of Liu Yi.

Wu Khotan stated and refuted the contents of the indictment article by article, and finally put forward his opinion advocating acquittal. After listening to the presentations of both sides, the three judges then announced that the argument would proceed.

The arguments between the two sides were also procedural, without the slightest heated exchange of words, and the judge did not seem to care much about the outcome of the debate, and was completely coping with an errand.

Liu Yi was completely relieved when he saw this, according to this procedure, it was only a matter of time before he was exonerated himself, and the Ministry of Defense didn't plan to do anything to himself at all, and there was not even much evidence, so it was basically impossible to convict himself.

All the proceedings were completed quickly, and the judge immediately declared that the trial was over, and the outcome of the trial would be announced at the next hearing.

After the trial, Liu Yi was sent back to the detention center and continued to wait for the next trial. A few days later, Wu Khotan and Xu Jing came to visit him, and Xu Jing told Liu Yi that there was nothing wrong with the case, and that he could regain his freedom as long as the court announced the result.

Xu Jing asked Liu Yi again: "Are you really sure you want to be innocent?" This is the last chance, and if you want to change, it's still too late. ”

Liu Yi shook his head and said, "If you don't change it, let's defend it according to innocence." ”

"Aren't you worried that once you're acquitted, you'll have to go back to Whitestone Fortress?" Xu Jing asked.

Liu Yi smiled and said, "Actually, no matter how I choose, I must bear the corresponding results in the end, and after weighing it, I still decided to go back." Since I have chosen this path, I have no reason to run away from it, no matter what difficulties there are in the future, I can just face them directly. ”

When he said these words, Liu Yi appeared extremely calm, and it could be seen that he had made this decision after careful consideration.

Xu Jing saw that Liu Yi had already made up her mind, so she stopped talking nonsense, nodded and said, "Okay, just do what you want." ”

Liu Yi stayed in the detention center for another week, and then ushered in the second trial, before the trial, Wu Khotan told Liu Yi that the judge would announce the verdict today, and Liu Yi would be free later.

"Great! Thank you very much! Liu Yi said in a low voice.

Wu Tian smiled and said: "Where, where, it is an honor for me Wu to be able to help Colonel Liu, and I hope to cooperate with Colonel Liu in the future." ”

While the two were talking, the judge was already seated and knocked on the table again with a small hammer to announce the start of the second trial.

Whether it is the judge or the representatives of both sides, everyone has already had a tacit understanding in their hearts, and they went through the prescribed procedures, and then the judge announced a temporary adjournment.

After the adjournment, the judge did not delay any longer, and announced the result of the trial on the spot: Liu Yi's charge of dereliction of duty was not established in the prosecution of the Ministry of Defense due to insufficient evidence!

Since Liu Yi was not convicted of the crime and the Ministry of Defense did not submit new evidence, the judge acquitted Liu Yi and released him in court.

Hearing this result, Liu Yi was very excited, although he had already known the result, but when he heard the judge announce it himself, he still felt his whole body tremble, and a hot current instantly surged on his face.

Walking out of the door of the courthouse, Liu Yi felt for the first time how precious it was to be self-contained, everything around him seemed so vivid and vivid, in great contrast to the gloom in the prison.

Liu Yi stood on the steps of the courthouse, raised his head and shouted a few times to the sky, as if he wanted to vomit all the depression he had been suppressing for months.

"I'm out! You wait for me! Liu Yi shouted.

The guards at the gate of the court immediately came to drive Liu Yi and the others away, Liu Yi was not angry at all, laughed and walked down the street.

On the street in front of the courthouse, Ye Na had been waiting for a long time, and in order not to attract the attention of others, not only did she not enter the courtroom to observe, but she even changed the uniform she wore all year round.

Now Ye Na is wearing an ordinary professional suit, looking like an ordinary clerk of a certain company, although she does not have her usual sassy and heroic appearance, she has a little more rare mature charm.

When Liu Yi walked out, Ye Na, who was also excited, immediately greeted her, but Liu Yi didn't recognize it at first sight, and almost bumped into Ye Na.

"You...... Hey? You're Yena! When Liu Yi finally saw that the other party was Ye Na, he couldn't help but exclaim.

Ye Na blushed and said with some embarrassment: "You...... You're finally out. ”

"Haha, you're wearing civilian clothes, I almost didn't recognize you!" Liu Yi said with a smile.

"How...... Am I weird wearing this? Ye Na asked with a flushed face.

Liu Yi waved his hand and said, "Where, you look good in this, I never see you wearing it, so I feel a little surprised." ”

At this time, Xu Jing and Wu Tian also came over, and Xu Jing said to Ye Na: "Don't stand here, let's find a place to celebrate Liu Yi first, and congratulate him on regaining his freedom." ”

Wu Tian followed and said: "I know a very good place, not only the food is good, but there are not many people, which is just right for us." ”

Liu Yi nodded and said, "Okay, let's go!" ”

Xu Jing grabbed Liu Yi and said, "Wait, this is your thing, the court has returned it to you just now." With that, Xu Jing handed a bag to Liu Yi.

Liu Yi opened the bag and saw that it was all kinds of belongings that had been confiscated, as well as those electronic devices.

At this dinner to celebrate Liu Yi's acquittal, Liu Yi rarely drank a lot of wine until he was drunk. Xu Jing and Ye Na sent Liu Yi to the hotel to rest, and the two opened a room next door and stayed in the hotel.

Liu Yi hadn't slept so peacefully for a long time, and it took more than ten hours to wake up.

"Oops! It's so comfortable! Liu Yi stretched his waist and walked towards the bathroom.

The warm hot water washed over Liu Yi's body, as if every pore on his body was gradually stretched, making Liu Yi couldn't help but let out bursts of admiration.

"Great, it would be nice to spend every day like this......"

In a trance, Liu Yi seemed to go back to many years ago, when he was still a lonely teenager in Yaqiu, and his biggest ideal in life was just to live a stable life like an ordinary person.

However, fate is impermanent, and now Liu Yi thinks back to himself at that time, and it feels like a dream.

After a full rest, Liu Yi refreshed his spirits again, as if he had endless energy. In the past few months, although Liu Yi has lost his freedom, it has also given him a chance to rest and adjust, to temporarily get rid of those tedious things, and rethink the path he wants to take in the future.

Liu Yi first got in touch with Tang Jie, Shangguanqi and others, telling them that he had been released from prison and would return to Baishi Fortress later, so that they didn't have to worry about themselves anymore.

Among the crowd, Liu Yi deliberately had an in-depth discussion with Old Man Tang about future development. Now that the matter is very clear, Nie Yan has made up his mind to get the Ice Peak Base, and how to face Nie Yan next will be a big problem.

Old Man Tang told Liu Yi that I am afraid that there will be major changes in the emperor in the near future, and the impatience of Nie Yan and others may have something to do with this, and the empire is afraid that it will start to turmoil again.

Liu Yi asked the old man why he had such a judgment, and the old man said very mysteriously: "Gao Ban's death, I heard that it was his own people's hands, and now they are just fighting in secret, the next step may be to fight openly, once the emperor is unstable, the entire empire will not want to be quiet." ”

"The old man is reasonable, so I have to leave as soon as possible, otherwise it will be troublesome if I can't get stuck here." Liu Yi said.

"I think so too, but I advise you not to go back to the White Rock Fortress directly, you might as well go back to Yaqiu first, and observe for a while before making a decision." Old Man Tang said.

"But I'm a little worried, if I don't go back as soon as possible, I'm afraid that something will happen to the fortress, and Nie Yan and these people may do something to the fortress while I'm not there." Liu Yi said with some concern.
