Chapter 172: Verdict
The next morning, Fu Yao unexpectedly saw Cheng Yue at the door of the villa, he stood in front of the car and looked at her, and said, "Miss Fu, let's go." ”
Fu Yao didn't doubt at all why he came to pick her up, after all, he naturally knew the process as a lawyer about the call made by the court yesterday, and it was not surprising that he would appear at this point, he should have been prepared for a long time.
On the way, Fu Yao looked at Cheng Yue with a relaxed face, and couldn't help asking, "Today, will Mr. Gu attend?" ”
Cheng Yue didn't turn his head, just kept looking ahead and said lightly: "Maybe, maybe not, in short, with me, don't worry about anything else." ”
After that, Fu Yao didn't ask again, in fact, she was a bit idiotic when she asked, he has a lawyer like Cheng Yue, and his father doesn't even have a lawyer, no, it should be said that there is or no, it's all the same, my father has already pleaded guilty, and the lawyer doesn't have much effect.
When she arrived at the courthouse, Fu Yao got out of the car, she and Cheng Yue belonged to different parties, so they naturally went in together, and she attended as the defendant's family member, and would only appear in the audience, and he was the defense lawyer, let alone enter through an opening.
It's been a month since her father's case began, and it's time for a result, and she is hoping in her heart that maybe Gu Tingjun is merciful and will slow down her father's punishment a little, so that her atonement will not be in vain.
Now it's almost nine o'clock, and people have begun to enter the venue one after another, Fu Yao tidied up her clothes, adjusted her condition, and walked in with the flow of people.
After entering, she found a relatively high position in the audience, sat down, and began to look ahead to look for her father's back, but it was not yet time, and the judge did not come.
Fu Yao had no choice but to suppress her impatient temperament and slowly sit in the audience and start waiting for time, the venue was very noisy, and the ears of noisy people hurt.
At nine o'clock, the judge, the jurors and the lawyers began to enter the venue, and when the judge sat down, as soon as he struck the hammer, the venue suddenly became quiet, and Fu Yao also sat up straight in an instant.
Then the judge said: "Take the defendant, Fu Zhengyang!" ”
When her father's name was mentioned, Fu Yao's heart began to panic, and when her father appeared in the defendant's dock, Fu Yao wanted to stand up and shout "Dad", but she knew that she couldn't, at least not now, she had to wait.
When Fu Zhengyang stood in the defendant's seat, he kept his head down the whole time, and when it was good, his hands and feet were relatively free.
The people below began to talk to each other: "I heard that this person is a human trafficker, and he looks honest, but I didn't expect to do it so disgusting." ”
"Yes, these hateful traffickers should be sentenced to death so that those parents can recover."
"Yes, that's right."
In the audience, there were such unbearable slanderous words, Fu Yao wanted to cover her ears, they didn't know anything, why did they say that about her father, why.
At this time, the judge shouted "silence", and this time the venue was quiet again.
Then the judge continued: "Defendant, why didn't you hire a lawyer? ”
Fu Zhengyang just shook his head gently, the judge thought about it, and Cheng Yue looked at him with a smile on his face, when Fu Yao heard this, he could only be helpless, ask a lawyer, look at the entire famous city, who dares to take his father's case, who dares!
Cheng Yue said: "Your Excellency, the defendant has already pleaded guilty, and he probably knows his mistakes, and thinks it's useless to hire a lawyer, right, Mr. Fu?" ”
Fu Zhengyang was ashamed and didn't dare to raise his head at all, and his head was lowered.
The judge weighed it and said, "The plaintiff's lawyer can make a case." ”
Cheng Yue nodded to the judge, then walked up to Fu Zhengyang, and began to state towards the audience and the jury: "My plaintiff originally had a happy family of four, my father went to work, my mother was in charge of the house, and my brother and sister grew up happily, originally this kind of life could go on forever, but one day, the love was that my mother took my brother and sister out for a walk, my mother sat on the rest chair outside and watched her children playing, my sister said that she wanted to eat ice cream, and my brother went to buy it in order to make my sister happy, In order to pick up a ball, the younger sister ran to a distance away from her mother to pick it up, and at this time, the defendant appeared. ”
Fu Yao squeezed his hand tightly, and Fu Zhengyang's body was trembling, maybe Cheng Yue's words instantly brought him back to the place in Mingcheng Square more than ten years ago.
Cheng Yue glanced at Fu Zhengyang, and then said: "Defendant, Fu Zhengyang, at this time, I abducted my client's sister with the candy I bought at the convenience store, my client's sister was only four years old at the time, she knew everything, and children of your age did not know the ugliness of society at all, and it was because of this that these wicked people would have a chance to take advantage of it." When he said this, Cheng Yue's tone was very unkind, but he was very impulsive.
The people in the audience began to boil again, perhaps some of the people sitting there are parents and feel the same way.
Cheng Yue also approached Fu Zhengyang and asked, "I'm not wrong, right?" ”
How dare Fu Zhengyang say it, and he can't say it, because what he said is the truth, and it is a fact that he has not been willing to face all these years.
Cheng Yue turned around towards Fu Zhengyang, and continued: "The defendant sold the little girl after taking her away, my client's mother because of her daughter's disappearance, the whole city began to post notices, on the news, and call the police, she almost asked passers-by, she didn't find her daughter for a day, and it was two days too, until a week, she didn't eat a meal, didn't sleep once, because she always heard her daughter asking for help in her dreams, but she didn't even know where her daughter was, day after day, The mother who lost her daughter finally went crazy, as long as she saw the little girl, she thought that her daughter was back, and finally one day, because she missed her daughter too much, she was in a very poor mental state, and she fell down the stairs and died. ”
After Cheng Yue said this, the whole venue was quiet and terrifying, as if someone was still crying and sympathizing with this mother.
Cheng Yue paused for five seconds, and then said: "Mother died, Dad also went out again and again to look for his daughter, he has not had a good rest for many days, and died in a car accident on the way home, and my client, he was only seven or eight years old at the time, and in less than three days, he lost his parents and sister, and also lost his happy home, from an enviable family to an orphan, he was sent to an orphanage, but what does he know about such a young child?" He only knew that he was going home, that house was his home, his parents were waiting for him to come home, but it wouldn't, never, they would never come back, no one would ever cook delicious meals for him, no one would gently touch his head every day, no one would be coquettish to him, there would be nothing, he would be an orphan! ”
After saying this, Cheng Yue said to the judge: "Your Excellency, I'm done. ”
The judge seemed to be immersed in this grief, and only began to speak for a long time, and he asked Fu Zhengyang: "Defendant, Fu Zhengyang, do you have anything to refute?" ”
Fu Zhengyang's eyes were already red, and he couldn't speak fluently, so he could only shake his head.
Fu Yao's eyes have already been flooded with tears, this is the second time she has heard this, she is not unfamiliar at all, she cried because she felt sorry for Gu Tingjun, and she was helpless about her father, of course she also knew that her father must have a last resort, otherwise he would not do such a thing, she has always believed it.
"Plaintiff's lawyer, is there anything else you'd like to ask?"
Cheng Yue replied: "Yes." ”
He lay on the wood of Fu Zhengyang's fence and asked, "I want to ask the defendant, you also have your family, how can you bear to attack such a child, where is your humanity?" Well? ”
At this time, Fu Zhengyang looked up at Cheng Yue's lips and said, "I ......"
"And for so many years, so many nights, how did you manage not to have nightmares, and not be afraid that someone would come to you when you dreamed back at midnight?" Cheng Yue's expression at this time had become a little hideous.
Fu Zhengyang was frightened and wanted to retreat, but there was nowhere to escape, for so many years, he had never slept well, and he had never said such a thing to others, it was all his own sin.
Someone on the jury asked, "I wonder how the plaintiff could suddenly find the murderer who destroyed his own family after so many years?" ”
Cheng Yue said: "Your Excellency, I want to pass on a witness. ”
The judge said: "Witnesses." ”
After the judge finished speaking, a middle-aged man appeared on the witness stand, this person was none other than Fu Zhengyang's best colleague after entering the Sawell factory - Li Guoshi.
"Please tell me how the defendant told you what he had done." Cheng Yue said to Li Guoshi.
Li Guoshi first glanced at Fu Zhengyang, and then said slowly: "Zhengyang and I ...... No, I have a good relationship with him, and when we were basking in the sun one day, he said to me with emotion that the most regrettable thing he ever did was kidnapping a little girl. ”
"So how did the plaintiff know, did you say that?" The jury asked again.
Li Guoshi didn't know who the plaintiff they asked was, and looked at him with a confused expression.
Cheng Yue took over: "At that time, my client happened to be inside the door, and he listened to Fu Zhengyang's words word for word. ”
The jury nodded, and then stopped asking.
Cheng Yue continued: "After so many years, the defendant still didn't think about turning himself in, and he still treated that incident as an after-dinner chat, the situation is bad, please judge the judge to adjudicate and administer justice for my client." ”
Fu Yao looked at Cheng Yue in disbelief, the person who instructed Cheng Yue was Gu Tingjun, Cheng Yue didn't want to let go of her father at all, and he was forced everywhere, no, no, it's not like this, it shouldn't be like this.
"Rest for five minutes, and then make the final verdict." The judge said.
Fu Yao looked at Cheng Yue in a daze, Cheng Yue seemed to know that someone was looking at him, and the doubts in his eyes were self-evident, so he turned around and avoided it.
Fu Zhengyang looked up at Li Guoshi on the witness stand, Li Guoshi also looked at him helplessly, he was right, but he didn't expect Fu Zhengyang to become like this.
Five minutes later.
The judge and the jury returned to their seats again, and the judge stood up, took out a piece of paper and began to read: "The defendant, Fu Zhengyang, the case of human trafficking, is convicted, and Fu Zhengyang is sentenced to ten years in prison in accordance with the law, and it will be executed immediately!" ”
