Chapter 37: Stand-ins

In the dock, Wang Ming lowered his head, his shackled hands trembled slightly, and he looked nervous waiting for the judge's verdict.

Today's trial lasted nearly five hours, during which there appeared to be a temporary adjournment because of the commotion. Of course, Wang Ming didn't know that the commotion inside and outside the courtroom just now was caused by himself.

And just behind him, the gaze of a tall man slowly swept over Wang Ming's back, and then he scanned around the courtroom vigilantly.

"How's it going on your end?" Lou Yue's voice came from the headphones.

"At the moment, it is normal, and no suspicious elements have been found." Lan Jue replied softly. "What about you? Are you all done? ”

"All arrested." Lou Yue said, glanced at the entire row of "Trench Coat Soldiers" behind the soundproof glass, and said lightly. "The trial is almost over, if that person wants to make a move, it is estimated that it will be the time when the audience leaves the venue, you keep an eye on it, and I will continue to send people to guard."

Lou Yue put down the walkie-talkie and turned to Sister Mu beside her: "Mu Yun, have the entrances and exits of the court been controlled?" ”

"The deployment has been completed, and after the trial is over, we will coordinate the masses to leave the scene in batches, and will not give Wu Xuebing a chance to escape." Sister Mu replied.

"After Wang Ming gets out of court, he will be sent to a heavy bulletproof police car and taken into custody directly, for Wu Xuebing, as long as Wang Ming gets in the car, he will have no chance to make a move. Therefore, during the period from the end of the trial to Wang Ming's getting on the bus, we must be particularly cautious. Lou Yue added carefully.

"Don't worry, we won't be messed up by him again this time." Sister Mu's eyes flashed, and the sudden change before seemed to make her feel relieved.

"The other party must be prepared, don't be affected by him." Lou Yue reminded him, and then moved his gaze to the soundproof glass beside him. "Now, let's meet these 'stand-ins'."

In the interrogation room, the members of the "Trench Coat Legion" squatted on the ground, all with their heads bowed, and they did not dare to come out.

There were more than a dozen of them, both men and women, most of them young people, and what they all had in common was that they were all dressed in dark trench coats, peaked caps, and sunglasses. Now, of course, their caps and sunglasses have long been removed, revealing their dejected faces.

"Why are you all dressed up like this?" Sister Mu asked. "Don't tell me it's a 'coincidence'......"

The "trench coat people" still kept their heads down, and no one dared to speak.

"Hehe, you must know that a group of more than 10 people is considered a 'group ** piece'." Sister Mu said coldly, "It's not an exaggeration for you to commit such an act in a place like the court, you can be considered a terrorist, and if you don't explain honestly, it won't be a matter that can be solved in two days......

"I don't know them at all!"

"I was fooled too! Believe me! ”

……

As soon as they heard that they would be regarded as terrorists, the trench coat people immediately panicked and defended one after another.

"One by one." Sister Mu gestured, and then looked at a small-eyed man in the middle—this person was the one who was caught by Ah Qi in the substation room before.

"You speak first." Sister Mu ordered.

The small-eyed man was stunned, and when he saw that the eyes of the people around him were focused on him, he suddenly broke out in cold sweat and immediately explained.

"I also saw the event on an online forum, so I came to join in the fun." The small-eyed man said tremblingly.

"'Activity'?" Sister Mu frowned. "What activity?"

"An anonymous netizen convened a 'flash mob'* action on a large local online community, asking participants to wear dark trench coats, caps and sunglasses, and said that they would come to a 'special show'." The man explained. "Isn't this interrogation a lot of attention? Many people thought that the event would be reported by the media and might be on TV, so many people signed up. ”

(*Note: "Flash mob" is a hippie act that has recently become popular in the international arena and can be regarded as a kind of ephemeral performance art.) To put it simply: many people use the Internet or other means to do a series of specified actions at a specified time, at a specified time, and then quickly dodge. )

The trench coats on the side echoed one after another, and it seemed that they were all summoned by this event.

"So you want to take advantage of this event to be on TV too?" Ah Qi on the side looked at the small-eyed man and added a little mockingly. "Then what are you sneaking into the substation room for?"

"Uh...... In fact...... I...... I didn't really want to participate in any 'flash mob' events......" the man said in a slur "I just took the opportunity to avoid the limelight...... The tigress at home is staring too closely......"

"You hid in the substation just to call your lover? Didn't you deliberately want to do some tricks? Aki had a look of disbelief.

"Really! It's true! The man hurriedly pleaded. I don't believe you guys can check the call history! ”

"Did the people who called online say that you should do any 'special performances' on the spot?" Sister Mu interjected and asked.

"No, he said that we just need to show up, and he will arrange it on the spot, but he hasn't seen anyone organize it." The small-eyed man muttered timidly. "If I had known that I would be arrested by the police, I wouldn't have come to kill ......"

"Playing 'flash mobs' also cleared up the occasion, dressed up as this suspicious appearance and gathered in the courthouse, purely for death." Sister Mu's tone was stern.

When the people in the trench coats heard this, their faces changed, and they couldn't stop begging for mercy.

"Look up the anonymous user who posted the pop-up event on the online community, and catch that person anyway." Lou Yue looked up at the clock. "The trial should be almost over, these people will be detained first, and they will be dealt with when today's matter is over." With that, he walked out of the interrogation room.

-------------------

“…… Defendant Wang Ming committed the crimes of robbery, attempted intentional homicide, and endangering public safety, and was sentenced to life imprisonment without parole in the first trial. "The judge in the court has stood up and begun to read out the results of the trial." If you are not satisfied with this judgment, you may re-file an appeal within 10 days from the second day of receipt of the judgment......"

"Bang!" With the sound of the hammer, the trial officially ended, Wang Ming was escorted down like ashes, and the audience in the auditorium also got up and prepared to leave.

In the command room at this moment, everyone is on high alert, and a pair of eyes are vigilantly observing the surveillance screens, for fear of missing a trace of subtle clues.

"All pay attention to the location of each entrance and exit, and evacuate the flow of people in batches to prevent people from deliberately creating riots." Sister Mu calmly commanded. "At the same time, the vicinity of the room where Wang Ming was detained was monitored."

The audience evacuated in batches in an orderly manner, no suspicious people appeared, and no emergencies occurred, and the process went astonishingly smoothly.

"Didn't you find any targets?" With the evacuation of the last group of spectators, Sister Mu did not receive any clues, and her face couldn't help but become grim. "Look for it again, don't let your guard down before Wang Ming is taken away!"

However, until Wang Ming was escorted out of the courthouse in a police car, the most important target in this operation, Wu Xuebing, still did not appear, not even half a shadow, which somewhat made the atmosphere in the command room a little embarrassing.

"Looks like he's not going to show up today." Lan Jue walked into the command room, looked at Lou Yue with a gloomy face, and shrugged his shoulders. "I thought he deliberately found a 'stand-in' for the ignorant people, in order to take advantage of the chaos."

"He's teasing us." Lou Yue, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke. "Wu Xuebing didn't plan to make a move on Wang Ming at all, the reason why he arranged that commotion was just to make us ugly in front of the media. The target he really intends to attack is probably someone else......"

Suddenly, Lou Yue seemed to remember something, and suddenly looked up at Lan Jue.

"Is today the day he was 'let out!'?" Lou Yue asked abruptly.

"Who'......?" Lan Jue was a little confused.

"Ye Yu, that kid!"

"He will indeed leave the training camp after training today, is it ......!" Lan Jue instantly realized something and turned to Lou Yue beside him.

"Not good." Lou Yue stood up. "We've been tricked!"

-------------------

Ye Yu took off the lead bar on his body, changed into his own clothes, and looked at himself in the mirror.

Compared with two weeks ago, my body is indeed much stronger, my muscle lines are becoming more and more obvious, and even my original clothes are a little tighter.

What's more, Ye Yu obviously felt that his physique had improved, not only his complexion had improved greatly, but his endurance and explosiveness had risen several grades, and now even if he ran 3,000 meters, he could already complete it without changing his face, which was completely different from the weak explosion when he first entered the base.

It seems that Lan Jue's special training is really effective! Ye Yuzheng sighed, and suddenly heard a gentle knock on the door.

"Ye Yu, have you sorted it out?" Xiao Yan's voice came in from the door of the bedroom.

"It's all right!" Ye Yu hurriedly picked up his luggage and opened the door, only to see that Xiao Yan was already waiting at the door.

"I'm sorry to keep you waiting." Ye Yu said apologetically. "Actually, you don't have to bother to pick it up, I can go back myself."

"It's okay, I've just arrived." Xiao Yan looked at Ye Yu with a smile. "Originally, Director Lan and they would also come today, but they were held back by some things, so I will replace me to pick you up."

It should be Wang Ming's public trial, right? It seems that the media is still live...... Anyway, this trial lasted a long time. Ye Yu thought about it, so he walked out of the training camp with his luggage and Xiao Yan.

Because the training camp was located on the outskirts of the city, Ye Yu was originally worried that he would not be able to get a taxi, but fortunately, a taxi happened to stop at the door, so he quickly stopped it.

The taxi driver is an elderly man, although his hair is gray, but he is in good spirits, wearing a straight uniform, and his hair is meticulously combed, and he knows that he is a professional old driver.

"Master, go to the municipal building." Xiao Yan and Ye Yu sat in the back row successively and said to the driver.

The driver nodded, gently glanced at Ye Yu's face in the rearview mirror, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked silently, and then started the car and drove towards the city center.
