In the following two days, there was basically nothing big happening on the island, Sandro and James both sent additional men to carry out daily patrols, and James also issued a proclamation to all the islanders in the name of the island cabinet government, warning everyone to strictly abide by the laws of the Empire, and anyone who dared to defy the laws of the Empire would be punished with the severest punishment.

After the Duke of Jackson's final verdict, Big Bear was guilty of intentional wounding, but because the other party set the fire first, it was decided not to be detained but sentenced to a fine of forty pounds. Tina caused death, and because she was a newly acquired slave, according to the laws of the Empire and the Queen's special rules for Paradise Island, Tina should have been sentenced to death, but because the other party deliberately set the fire first, and Tina voluntarily pleaded guilty, the death penalty was waived and the sentence was changed to 120 years in prison. The slaves who deliberately set the fire were sentenced to one year in prison, and if they violated any of the laws of the empire for the next three years, they were to be deprived of their citizenship and expelled from the island.

As soon as the result of this sentence came out, there was a lot of discussion on the island, and some islanders who sympathized with the big bear thought that the sentence was really unfair, and the group of people who deliberately set fire to the person who tried to kill were only sentenced to one year, while Tina, who was set on fire, was sentenced to more than 100 years for manslaughter, and the standard of sentencing was obviously unfair. Of course, there are sympathizers, and naturally there are disempathizers, those people think that whether it is Tina or those who set fires, they should respond to that poor person must have something hateful, whether they are sentenced to one year or a hundred years, they are all to blame, and the abolition of slavery may be a fundamentally wrong decision, and these slaves should be slaves for the rest of their lives, so that they will keep to themselves and not cause trouble.

In the clinic on the island, Michael, who knew the result of the punishment, was very angry, and his death report issued by a dignified imperial forensic doctor was directly ignored, although Tina took the initiative to admit her guilt, although the imperial law does not clearly stipulate that the death report of the forensic doctor must prevail, but the law does not clearly stipulate that as long as someone voluntarily admits guilt, the forensic doctor's report can be ignored, even if there is an obvious conflict between the two. Of course, for Michael, he didn't care what the truth was, neither the arsonist nor the Great Bear Tina had any direct connection with him, he didn't know anyone, what he really cared about was that his authority as a forensic doctor was challenged and flouted, and for a high-achieving student from the most prestigious medical school in the empire, this challenge and contempt was simply an insult.

Looking at Michael with an atmosphere on his face, An An was a little strange, he and Tina were not related, why did they care so much about the result of the penalty? She asked Michael carefully, "What's wrong with you?" Seems to be very dissatisfied with the penalty? ”

"Of course you're not satisfied, Doctor Zhou, don't you think such a sentence is ridiculous?" Michael asked indignantly, "They even ignored my report!" ”

"But Tina has already turned herself in? And the sentence was personally decided by Duke Jackson. ”

"What about turning yourself in? Do you know Doctor Zhou, in many cases, the death report issued by the local forensic doctor in the empire can directly determine the final sentence, and even if it cannot be directly decided, the report will also be used as an important reference. ”

"But so what? After all, the decision has already been announced. ”

"That's not necessarily, I'm going to go to Duke Jackson in person, and I'm asking for a new trial."

Michael's attitude made An An very confused, why did he, a person who had just been on the island for a few days, do so much? Even if he graduated from the most powerful medical school in the Empire, he was only the chief doctor of the island, and he could influence the sentence of Duke Jackson?

After Michael left in a hurry, Floyd quietly approached An An's side and said, "Dr. Zhou, do you want to know why Dr. Michael is so excited?" ”

An An shook her head and said, "I think it's weird? Could it be because he has a sense of justice? ”

"A sense of justice?" Floyd smiled, "You don't know much about Dr. Michael." I remember telling you before, I graduated from George College of Medicine in the British Isles, and there were several such medical schools throughout the British Empire, but they all had one thing in common, which was that they were called second-class colleges. ”

"Second-class college? What do you mean? Do you have any schools or anything like that? An An asked puzzled.

“？ I don't know what you mean, but by this second-class college I am a contempt for the kind of school I attended, and in the British Empire only the Royal Physicians of the British Empire, where Dr. Michael attended, could be called a first-class college. ”

"Royal College of Physicians? It sounds like a tall name, but does this have anything to do with Dr. Michael's anger? ”

"The Royal Academy of Medicine is the top medical school in the entire empire, and the label of the graduates of the Royal Academy of Medicine is a well-known calling card, and the students who come out of it are all proud, and they look down on any student who has graduated from other colleges, as if they are the only real doctors. Dr. Michael is a graduate of the Royal Academy of Medicine and holds an Imperial Forensic Certificate, which may be a lifelong dream for an ordinary Imperial citizen. Dr. Michael told you that the Imperial Forensic Doctors are quite authoritative, and the death reports they issue have a very important impact on legal judgments, and now that the Duke's sentence directly ignores his report, he will definitely be very angry, a graduate of the Royal Academy of Medicine, a forensic doctor of the Empire, not so much that he has a sense of justice, but that he has a strong sense of vanity. ”

"I see." An An nodded and said, "I understand what you mean, but what if that's the case?" After all, it was the dignified Duke who made the judgment, right? ”

"I just told you that the Royal Academy of Medicine is the top medical school in the Empire, not only because the professors in it are all well-known authorities in the Empire, not only because it has the most top-notch medical research equipment, but more importantly, the students who can enter it will definitely not be ordinary citizens of the Empire, members of the royal family, and children of high-ranking nobles are eligible to apply for admission."

"You're saying Michael is also from a high-ranking aristocratic background?"

"I don't know much about him, but just from the fact that he graduated from the Royal College of Medicine, obtained a forensic qualification certificate at a young age, and was the chief doctor brought over from the mainland by Duke Jackson himself, Dr. Michael's identity is definitely not simple, and his family should at least be a nobleman above the earl, and may even be members of the royal family."

Freud's words surprised An An very much, she didn't expect that Michael, who was not much different from ordinary people, would be from a prominent aristocratic background, but she was still very confused, if Freud's speculation was accurate, then why did a high-ranking nobleman like him come to Paradise Island to be the chief doctor?

For this question, Freud is also very puzzled, it stands to reason that an identity like Michael, you can go anywhere, even if you want to enter the royal family's medical team, it is not impossible to come to Paradise Island to be the chief doctor, but although I don't understand this, Freud is quite confident in his inference about Michael's identity, Michael is by no means an ordinary person.

However, after some time, Michael returned to the clinic, and An An quickly asked him what the Duke said, and Michael said a little unhappily: "The Duke's sentence cannot be changed, but he explained to me why he did not use my death report, and there is a special reason why this matter is so sentenced." ”

"Special reasons? What is the special reason? An An asked.

"I can't tell you this, I hope you understand. But the Duke also assured me that such a thing would not happen a second time. ”
