Chapter 302: First Class Servitude
"Ouch! Lao Lan's son has been arrested!"
"Didn't you work at the Demon Hunters' Guild?
"I don't know, I heard that the judge is still the head of the judicial committee......"
"It's so serious? I've heard for a long time that his style is not good, and the two girls on the national team are not clear......"
Early in the morning, the "upper district" in the south and east district of the sea lion city is lively.
The whole city has been under martial law for nearly half a month, and it seems that it is only a few days before the extreme winter.
The old ladies at the gates of the yamen who had taken a holiday early were idle all day long and called their husbands sore, and after getting up early to buy vegetables, they relied on their own well-informed gossip to exchange information with each other.
After the basket was taken out of the office of the Demon Hunter Guild in Sea Lion City in Building 2 at 8 o'clock in the morning, the entire Building 2 exploded. After a while, Chestnut and Duanmu Xiang hurried in, then persimmons, and then Panda. All the former members of the national team have come to come.
The chestnuts and persimmons were uneasy, because after receiving the five-turn and six-turn elixirs from the basket, the women's intuition judged very accurately that it was definitely these small gifts of unknown origin that went wrong. Fortunately, after the two of them got the gift, they were not in a hurry to use it. After the suspension of "Phantom Township", their anchor career plan has come to naught, and now they have a plan to become a part-time demon hunter while they have just entered the graduate school, so the matter of cultivating enchantment skills must be put on the agenda, so they are not in a hurry to take drugs, and the formula is a blessing in disguise.
The four of them basically arrived at the place on the front and back feet and met on the 16th floor.
With a solemn expression, Duanmu Xiang led the servants into the courtroom with the crowd who were not too big to watch the excitement, and finally squeezed in, only to find that the person sitting in the defendant's seat was not a basket at all, but Geng Jiangyue, who should have been locked underground.
What's even more awesome is that Geng Jiangyue's defense lawyer actually squeezed more than a dozen people in the dock.
Each has shiny hair and wears gold-rimmed glasses, and at a glance he knows that it is the best among the lawsuits, not to mention that it is still a group battle, Duanmu Xiang was relieved on the spot when he saw this lineup. In this kind of open trial, if the lawyer team is strong, it will be difficult for the prosecution to take advantage, because the "public opinion" must be taken into account. And "public opinion" is not based on evidence at all, but on the ability of lawyers to incite emotions, that is, the level of nonsense.
"I'm grass...... So many people in the wet market?...... Have you eaten breakfast?"
The panda spat out a groat and waved his hand at Geng Jiangyue, who was sitting in the defendant's seat.
Geng Jiangyue didn't move, and the cloud waved twice at the panda lightly, and the panda couldn't help but admire: "The little grandmaster is amazing, obviously he has been in prison for half a month, and it looks like he has seen through life." ”
Persimmon said: "It may also be mentally manipulated." ”
The panda smiled and didn't explain.
How can a person who can be defeated by Wei Guanshan be mentally manipulated, and if he wants to be controlled, it should be the little grandmaster who controls others!
While the two were talking, Duanmu Xiang finally pulled the chestnut, squeezed through the crowd, and came to the basket sitting in the witness stand, the chestnut grabbed the basket's hand, and asked anxiously, "What's wrong with you!"
The basket said with a painful face: "Illegal trafficking of psionic weapons ......"
"What law do you have?" Duanmu Xiang said inexplicably, "Special Citizen, isn't it reasonable to buy and sell psionic weapons?"
The basket was replaced with a crying and laughing expression: "It's true that I'm a special citizen, but my grandfather is not." He has just been expelled from the army, and he has a prison record, and his citizen rank in the Civic Affairs Bureau and the Beicheng Affairs Bureau was transferred to the third level half a month ago. He asked me to help him resell a dark gold suit, and according to the laws of Sea Lion City, at his level of citizen, he can privately possess and sell psionic equipment and psionic weapons that have not been registered with the general psionic weapons dealership, which is almost worth life imprisonment......"
Duanmu Xiang was stunned when he heard this.
Chestnut was full of only a little lover, and asked, "What about you?"
The basket said helplessly: "I'm okay, I'm just a tainted witness......"
"Wow! You betrayed your father-in-law on a dog's day?!" The panda squeezed through the crowd, and when he heard the basket, he scolded with his head and face, "Why can't you refuse to admit it?"
"He can't admit it. Hong Yimo's female captain walked out from the side and sneered, "The goods have been sold, and the amount involved is 1.5 billion Dong Yuan, and he also took a cut of the money, and he got the stolen goods." If he denies it, even he will have to eat in prison together. If he admits it, it will be a mistransaction at best, and as long as he hands over the money involved in the case, he can be acquitted. ”
When Duanmu Xiang saw Hong Yimo's followers, he couldn't help but ask in surprise: "What crime has Geng Jiangyue committed now......?
"Homicide is not guilty. The female captain explained very directly, "But the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped." Who let him make too many small moves on his own, the law of Sea Lion City is here, no matter how it is judged this time, the prosecution will take care of it!"
Duanmu Xiang frowned deeply.
Knock! Knock!
On the judge's seat, Hong Yimo, who put on a wig and turned from a prosecutor into a judge, rang the gavel and shouted: "Silence! Please be quiet to the citizens who are listening! This case is about to be heard! The bailiff will maintain order, and if there is any more blind force, throw me out!"
Director Hong said it very unserious, lacking the majesty of the court, but the effect was surprisingly good.
The originally noisy courtroom immediately quieted down, and a large number of people ran to the auditorium to sit down, and those who failed to grab seats stood aside and watched. In the boring days without the Internet, the citizens of the southern city can use all activities as entertainment.
In the center of the auditorium, Wang Simin and Ma Yiyi sat side by side.
As soon as the previous case was over, Geng Jiangyue was immediately arrested in another courtroom.
With the presence of General Jiang Hua, the chief of the General Police Administration, Geng Jiangyue's case of "smuggling psionic equipment" was allowed to be filed on the spot, and then, in view of the particularity of psionic weapons, they happened to be able to get involved with the intelligence department and the secret service department, so Chen Wu and Kang Zhifu filed a complaint against Geng Jiangyue in court, and Hong Yimo, who was the director of the judicial membership association, directly approved it, and Geng Jiangyue changed from a defendant in an intentional homicide case to a defendant in an illegal trafficking of psionic equipment. In less than five minutes, the program was completed at a rapid pace.
In Sea Lion City, where litigation efficiency is becoming more and more inefficient, what happened today is a miracle in the industry.
"Your Excellency, can we begin?" the female captain walked to the clerk's seat and turned to look at the leader behind her.
Hong Yimo nodded, and the female captain picked up the indictment and read it aloud: "Criminal suspect Geng Jiangyue, male, born on January 1, 3018, is now 14 years old, according to the "Regulations on the Identification of Civil Actors in Sea Lion City", Geng Jiangyue has normal intelligence and is at least 14 years old, and he does have full civil capacity.
On June 30, 2022, after graduating from the No. 3 High School in Building 96, he was recognized by the Civil Affairs Department of Sea Lion City and awarded the second-class citizen qualification. On October 4, 3022, the defendant Geng Jiangyue was detained on suspicion of homicide and other crimes, and although he was acquitted after the trial due to the objective facts of imprisonment, he was still demoted to a third-level citizen of Sea Lion City on October 5, 2022 according to the "Sea Lion City Citizen Classification Determination Law".
On October 6, 3022, the defendant Geng Jiangyue, taking advantage of the opportunity to contact Lan Shaoxia, a witness in this case, privately handed over a dark gold suit to Lan Shaoxia for auction. On October 15, 2022, Lan Shaoxia, a witness in this case, went to Bema City and successfully auctioned off the items involved in the case at the Demon Hunter Union of the Central and Southern Subcontinent Alliance, with a proceed of 150 million EC$......"
"Wow......!"
There was an uproar in the courtroom.
"Silence!" Hong Yimo tapped his hammer.
The aunts below immediately fell silent.
It's just that they still look at each other with surprised eyes, and then look at Geng Jiangyue's eyes, and it will be different immediately.
150 million ...... TECO!
If this child hadn't sinned, what a good son-in-law he would have been.
As for what third-level citizens are not third-level citizens, everyone in Sea Lion City is equal, and whoever engages in class discrimination is a fool!
The female captain continued: "20% of the proceeds involved in the case were handed over to the auction office of the Demon Hunter Union of the Central and Southern Subcontinent Alliance as a commission, and the witness Lan Shaoxia received 10% of the profits, and the remaining arrears have been transferred to the account of the defendant Geng Jiangyue, totaling 105 million Dong Yuan. ”
Ma Yiyi turned her head to look at Geng Jiangyue.
I sighed in my heart.
Li Junfei's first pot of gold took so much time to dig up, but Geng Jiangyue's ......
It's a no-brainer.
There was silence in the courtroom, only the female captain's voice still echoed: "In accordance with Article 30, Paragraph 54 of the Sea Lion City Psionic Weapons and Psionic Equipment Trading Law, Article 18 and Article 32 of the Sea Lion City National Security Law, and the Regulations on the Management of Sea Lion City Residents Article 39 of Paragraph 8, the defendant in this case, Geng Jiangyue, a third-level citizen, while in detention as a first-class felon, teamed up with the witness Lan Shaoxia, a special citizen of the special grade, to sell special rare dark gold sets without registration and sales permits, the evidence is conclusive, and the relevant laws and regulations of the above-mentioned Sea Lion City have been seriously violated, and have constituted the crime of illegally possessing and selling psionic weapons!"
As soon as the words fell, Lawyer Niu immediately jumped out and shouted: "I oppose it! My client Geng Jiangyue is a professional demon hunter himself, and it is his right to sell psionic weapons!"
"Oh?" the female captain glanced at her directly, "What does the defense lawyer mean that the rules of the Demon Hunters' Guild are greater than the laws of Sea Lion City?
Wang Simin, who was sitting in the auditorium, was silent for a moment before answering lightly: "Professional demon hunters, of course, must abide by the laws of sovereign countries. ”
"Thank you, Ms. Wang!" the female captain smiled slightly, looking at Lawyer Niu and the large group of litigants beside Lawyer Niu, "Lawyers, do you have anything else to say?"
Lawyer Niu and the others looked at each other.
This case came so suddenly that they were not prepared at all.
On the other hand, the prosecution is in ambush at all!
"Oh, then this case is very easy to judge!" Hong Yimo smiled, "Since everyone has nothing to say, then the court will pronounce the verdict." According to the "Law on the Judgment of the Three Citizens of Sea Lion City," this crime constitutes a first-degree felony, and this court sentences the defendant Geng Jiangyue to first-class hard labor, the term of which is to be determined by the labor department. Leave the court!"
As soon as the gavel struck, everyone in the courtroom was stunned.
What is the difference between a first-degree servitude with a "pending" term and the death penalty?
Ma Yiyi suddenly stood up from her chair.
wanted to find Hong Yimo to theorize, but Hong Yimo took off his wig, turned around and left without looking back.
Only Geng Jiangyue sat on the chair a little dazedly, very puzzled.
What the hell is first-degree servitude?
I've never heard of it at all......
