Chapter 60: Before the Trial
A day later, the system star.
The shuttle plane landed on the tarmac, the cabin door opened, and Shen Yi walked out of the plane, followed by Gentle King Kong and others.
At this time, Shen Yi was no longer wearing his long-standing Armani, but wearing a general's uniform with a medal on his chest, which was the merit he received in the first joint operation, and was issued in the form of a medal. This thing can allow the general to have more privileges within the Interstellar Alliance, and Shen Yi has not cared about it since he obtained it, but now he has put it on.
A team of heavily armed soldiers walked in front of him, apparently responsible for escorting Shen Yi.
Hong Lang's eyebrows were raised, and there were signs of anger, but at this moment, a voice sounded in the distance: "Put away your weapons and stand by honestly." ”
A person walked in the distance, it was Hua Tianrui, and behind him was also a group of soldiers.
"But what did the officer at the head of ......" want to say.
Hua Tianrui sneered: "Do you think you have the ability to take care of an adventurer general? Just do your standing guard work, and I will take over the supervision work." ”
The officer opened his mouth, and finally stepped aside without saying anything.
Hua Tianrui came over and said to Shen Yi with a smile: "Don't mind, you know that some things have to have a procedure." ”
Since he is here to stand trial, even if the crime has not yet been convicted, as a defendant, he can't let Shen Yi wander around outside like this, even if he is not locked in prison, at least someone has to watch him.
Hua Tianrui is here to do this.
Of course, no one expects him to really treat Shen Yi as such, this matter is also a face project.
Therefore, at this moment, Shen Yi smiled: "Of course, I can understand. It's better to have a friend supervise than an opponent. ”
Hua Tianrui pretended to be surprised: "Huh, does anyone dare to be your boss Shen's opponent now?"
The two looked at each other and laughed at the same time.
Hua Tianrui had already put his arm around Shen Yi's shoulder: "Let's go, Longmeng has prepared a hotel for you to stay in." ”
The two walked side by side together, and soon walked out of the airport and got into the flying bus.
When they got to the car, the two first talked a few words, and Hua Tianrui said with a straight face: "This incident has caused a lot of sensation. The teacher has already inquired, and the Interstellar Alliance is quite annoyed by your attack on the battleship, and has decided to punish you severely to make an example. ”
"Yo, you've set the tone so quickly. Shen Yi said with a smile.
"Don't be hippie smiley. Hua Tianrui said solemnly: "This is the first case in the history of the Bloody City that the Interstellar Alliance tried the adventurer, the matter is so big, it will not end well if they don't punish you, this time even if you find a god-level lawyer, it may not be able to solve the problem, you had better be ready to accept the punishment." ”
"Is there a god-level lawyer in the Bloody City?" Shen Yi was even more curious about this.
Hua Tianrui was almost mad by him, rolled his eyes and said, "I'm just making an analogy!"
"Okay, okay. Shen Yi spread his hands: "How is the reaction from outside?"
"It's a good thing that you didn't march on the streets to demand punishment for the murderer, but a lot of people are watching, and you're destined to become a household name. ”
"Listening to your tone, I still have the possibility of becoming a spokesperson in the future, and I may be able to make a fortune with an autobiography. ”
"It's not America here, it's not that disgusting. Hua Tianrui rolled his eyes and said, "Okay, let's get down to business, in fact, this time we will judge you, and the Interstellar Alliance will face a lot of trouble." ”
"You mean the legal basis, right?"
"Yes. ”
The main purpose of the Interstellar Alliance to punish Shen Yi in the form of a trial is to show everyone a fair image, and at the same time to give an explanation to all adventurers.
After all, in this battle, Uhtred is the first attacker, and if Shen Yi is directly punished without trial, it will cause most adventurers to be dissatisfied.
Although adventurers have a demand for the Star Alliance, the Star Alliance is not completely dependent on the adventurers.
The two sides are interdependent, so when Shen Yi's matter came out, although the Interstellar Alliance was angry and wanted to punish, it still had to find a suitable reason.
Judgment is to seek a legal basis for punishment.
But this process itself has a big problem - Shen Yi is not from the Interstellar Alliance, and the laws of the Interstellar Alliance do not apply to him.
"The laws of the coalition don't apply to you, so the only thing they can do against you is war crimes. At this moment, Hua Tianrui said.
War crime is a very special crime, which on earth was born on the basis of the Geneva Conventions and was declared and executed by the International Coalition Organization.
Of course, the Interstellar Alliance also has war crimes, which are the only crimes they apply to Shen Yi.
However, there is a problem here, that war crimes are not a separate crime in themselves, but a combination of many crimes, and even if the perpetrator is prosecuted for war crimes, there must be more specific provisions.
And which clause Shen Yi's behavior applies to depends on the specific situation at that time.
At present, the war crimes that may be applicable to Shen Yi in the alliance are: initiating war crimes, illegal sabotage and embezzlement, and massacre.
In addition, Shen Yi may be sentenced to the country, murder and espionage, but the probability of these three crimes is very small.
"Long Meng asked the lawyer team to make an analysis, and believed that in this matter, you have enough evidence to prove that you are fighting back in self-defense, and it is unlikely that the establishment of a war crime is not large, and the crime of massacre is aimed at civilians, and there were no civilians in the situation at that time, and the crime of massacre cannot be established. However, since you dismantled Yamato after the battle, shelled the transport ship, and were charged with illegal destruction and embezzlement of property, I am afraid that you will not be able to escape. However, this clause can use your existing merits to claim compensation and punishment. In addition, the alliance may impose economic sanctions on you, and you will be under a lot of pressure on the worker side, which may also be what the alliance wants to do to you. However, if you accept the help of the Dragon Alliance, we can help you reduce the punishment as much as possible, and even if there are no workers, we can send you support. Hua Tianrui said to Shen Yi: "Don't worry about the jury, although those six adventurers were found by the Interstellar Alliance, they don't dare to openly confront the four major organizations." We just need to give them some words, and they don't dare to go too far with some things. ”
For Long Meng, this is undoubtedly the best opportunity to win over Shen Yi.
The Interstellar Alliance didn't want to kill Shen Yi, it just wanted to punish him, and the punishment made everyone speechless.
With Shen Yi's current strength, even if he accepts the punishment, he won't hurt too much vitality.
But no adventurer will accept a loss, especially on the workers' side, and the friendship from the Dragon League is even more important.
Unexpectedly, Shen Yi shook his head: "I'm not worried about the workers' affairs. ”
"En?" Hua Tianrui said.
"But I know that with your energy, you can do me a favor. ”
"What do you want to do?"
"I hope the court will charge me with one more crime?"
"What?" Hua Tianrui froze.
"The crime of undermining the united front. Shen Yi replied.
The crime of sabotaging the united front, this is a law set up between the Star Alliance and the adventurers, and to be honest, this is the crime that applies to the relationship between Shen Yi and the Star Alliance.
But this crime is not used to restrain adventurers, but to restrain those within the Alliance.
Therefore, it does not exist in the war crimes, but in the laws of the Interstellar Alliance.
It is for this reason that the crime of sabotaging the united front does not apply to Shen Yi.
But at this moment, Shen Yi proposed to add this crime.
"They can't use this law against you. ”
"They can, just use an extradition treaty. ”
"There are no other countries here, there are no extradition treaties. ”
"Then sign one, I am from the Eastern District, and the Dragon Alliance can sign an extradition treaty on my behalf, officially extradite me to the Star Alliance, and then accept the trial of local laws. If they wish, there is nothing wrong with prosecuting them for murder, in short, I demand that the crime of undermining the united front be applied. ”
Hua Tianrui was completely stupid: "Why did you do this?"
"For the sake of fairness. Shen Yi replied with a smile: "I think only this crime applies to me." All persons are equal before the law and cannot be distinguished on the basis of internal or external distinctions. The Dragon League has great powers, and this little thing will definitely help me. ”
――――――――――――――
Twenty minutes later, Shen Yi came to the hotel that Long Meng had prepared for him.
I took a hot shower, then had dinner, and then met some friends who came to visit.
There are many friends who visit, including familiar ones such as Cliff, Asura, Meryl, etc., as well as some unknown people.
Tomorrow is the day of the court, the matter is so big, and the judge is Shen Yi, who is currently the most popular among the adventurers, with the highest prestige, and who dominates the adventurers with thirty-two warships, and the adventurers who can spare time have come over to see the excitement.
Lao Meng was busy with the new base and couldn't come, but he still called to send blessings.
After the guests left, Shen Yi saw that it was getting late, and walked up to the hotel roof alone.
The night wind struck, and Shen Yi stood on the rooftop looking at the scenery in the distance.
The night of the system star is very beautiful, some like the futuristic city in the world of Star Wars, and the turrets do not reduce its magnificence, but give people a rough and majestic feeling.
However, Shen Yi's gaze did not stay on those forts, but fell more on some inconspicuous-looking black buildings.
These black buildings are widely distributed on the system star, but few people know what they do.
They look like black spots on the planet, fully enclosed structures, and no one is usually seen entering or leaving, but next to each building is guarded by some heavily armed soldiers, holding armor-piercing Gauss rifles in their hands, which can be lethal even to adventurers.
"It's really heavily guarded. Shen Yi chuckled.
"It's just a necessary guarantee. A voice suddenly came from behind Shen Yi.
This voice suddenly appeared, and even Shen Yi didn't notice it beforehand.
Shen Yi looked back and saw an old man in a white robe standing behind him.
Judging from his appearance, the other party should be a Chinese, but Shen Yi noticed that there was no bloody coat of arms on his hands.
What really deserves Shen Yi's attention is his old face...... It's been a long time since I've seen someone so old in Bloody City.
Even Ye Dongsheng, who was promoted to an old fox by Shen Yi and a treacherous and slippery man, is only in his thirties.
But the one in front of him looks like he's at least over sixty.
The old man smiled at Shen Yi and walked over.
He stood next to Shen Yi, leaned his hand on the railing, looked at the scenery below, and said as if talking to himself: "You know that the enemies of humanity are sometimes not just aliens. ”
Or rather, as a ruler, the fear of one's own race is even greater than that of another. Shen Yi leaned on the railing, looked at the old man and asked.
"You can see it. The old man smiled and pointed to the distance: "Yes, the system star is actually a fortress, a fortress that can move in the sky, just like the death star. Those black buildings are the drives that lead to the interior of the entire planet, and they also have the function of releasing energy shields...... It's the most remarkable work of my life, just like your grand cosmic project. ”
"That's what you used to defeat the Quares?"
The old man let out a low laugh.
He shook his head: "No, we use it to defeat the Zerg, the Quarez people are spirit bodies, and there is no point in dealing with them. ”
"But you still supported the Great Universe Project. ”
"That's at least against the final brood. The old man chuckled and said, "That thing evolves very quickly...... It's not easy to find an adventurer who can deal with the ultimate brood. ”
"But you're still prepared to send such adventurers to prison. ”
"Don't complain, young man. The Star Alliance and the adventurers are interdependent, and you must know how to respect each other. Having a fair trial and a verdict is good for the maintenance of order, and you may not lose, do you? ”
"That's ......" Shen Yi thought for a while, he didn't answer the question behind the old man, just touched his chin and said, "You mean, can you confirm that the trial is fair?"
The old man smiled: "No, I can't. I could do that, but if I did, there would be no point in order. ”
"Is injustice also a type of order?"
"It's the opposite of order, you can not like it, but it must be ......there," said the old man. He turned around to look at Shen Yi: "Oh, I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Shen Shan." ”
"Your surname is Shen?" Shen Yi was slightly surprised.
"Yes, we are of the same clan. The old man said with a smile.
"God is indeed surnamed Shen. Shen Yi also laughed.
"Mankind does not need God. The old man replied seriously: "Our mission is to destroy all beings who may become gods." ”
