Chapter 32: What's New
October 15th.
Bac Ninh City No. 6 Detention Center.
In late autumn, it's already a little cool. The suspects in the detention center are all wearing winter coats and look even more bloated.
With a bang, the door to the prison hall opened:
618, come out! The guard officer shouted.
618 is Gao Ming's code name.
Everyone says it's an auspicious number.
Gao Ming has been "interprovincial" and detained in other places for a long time.
He went out of the prison, the sun was shining, the birds were singing in the nursery, Gao Ming breathed the fresh air outside, he took a few puffs a little greedily, and was escorted into a prison car by the police.
Gao Ming knew that after more than three months of life in the detention center, he would be taken to the court for trial, and he would face charges of picking quarrels and provoking trouble.
The world has changed dramatically in recent months.
Since the BIPU has been logged in almost perfectly. Although there has been talk of "fake" outside, it is still inspiring.
Kerry, the president of BIPU, is known as "the most conscientious man" in the world.
And they solved a mystery of the world, they discovered the Martians!
There are aliens?!
Before that, people were skeptical about the existence of aliens. People who have seen the Martian video believe that there really are aliens. Because, photos can be faked, while videos are difficult to fake.
It's just that the "Immigration to Mars" activity launched by BIPU has made many people feel desperate. Because, the vast majority of people can't afford expensive air tickets.
In the news, it is said that the air ticket to Mars is 350 million US dollars, but in fact, not 350 million US dollars, it is 35,000 US dollars, which many people do not have.
This completely cut off the idea of ordinary people fleeing.
However, not only themselves, but also thinking about the fact that so many people went to the disaster together, everyone also felt calm: things in the world are so mysterious, and many people bear the pain, as if it will alleviate the pain.
Just like during the war years, when every family was dying, the families of the deceased would think: I am not alone. The pain becomes numb.
The wonder of the earth after the chaos is such that people calmly wait for the end to come. Go to work, be on duty, go to school, and work normally.
Affected by landing on Mars, watching Martian videos, and immigrating to Mars, the stock price of BIPU has risen sharply, and many retail investors thought that in the near future, the stock will become waste paper, and they actually speculated the stock to 12 times the original size!
People who have calmed down are gradually returning to the right track of life, and the detention center, as a special unit, is even more normal. Of course, these smart people don't care, and they care most about their own lawsuits.
In court, the court said that the "Sunset Red" elderly apartment reported that Gao Ming wrote false articles to insult, spread rumors, and intimidate the "Sunset Red" company in the process of denouncing the "Sunset Red" for the elderly, and the circumstances were heinous, and the procuratorate recommended that he be punished for picking quarrels and provoking trouble.
According to the provisions of the Criminal Law at that time, anyone who commits the crime of picking quarrels and provoking troubles is serious may be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than five years but not more than ten years and shall also be fined.
Surprisingly, Gao Ming refused to defend anyone, did not hire a lawyer, and did not want legal aid.
In the courtroom, the reporter was a clever man, with a clear mind and sharp teeth, and he asked the judge, "According to the Criminal Law, do I have the crime of picking quarrels and provoking trouble?"
The prosecutor said: You used the information network to insult and intimidate others, of course, you are guilty of picking quarrels and provoking trouble.
Gao Ming sneered and said: "Sunset Red" deceived the elderly, involving more than a billion yuan, many people couldn't afford to get sick, and died with hatred, the court did not pursue it, but pursued a person who told the truth. Where is your conscience?
There was a burst of crackling applause from the auditorium.
Quiet! Quiet! The presiding judge had to remind.
The prosecutor said: The Internet is not a place outside the law, and freedom should be restricted.
Gao Ming said: It is right to refuse to slander the Internet, but if the truth cannot be promoted on the Internet, what is the use of such a network? I also ask the judges and you to be clear.
This time there was a round of warm applause, and not only the auditors, but also those who saw the trial outside through various channels such as live broadcasts, all responded with warm applause to the clever debate.
The presiding judge had to intervene again: silence, silence!
People erupted in laughter and boos.
The judge had no choice but to adjourn the trial.
The court did not announce the result in court, and a week later, the judge announced:
The defendant Gao Ming was not found guilty of picking quarrels and provoking trouble, and was released at court. In fact, when the end comes, who wants to sentence a person to a physical sentence?
Gao Ming walked out of the gate of the detention center with his pitiful luggage.
The sun is very sunny in Bac Ninh City, it doesn't look like the end of the day at all, Gao Ming squinted involuntarily.
No one picked him up, went out to the door, and Gao Ming got into an online car-hailing car.
Back then, when illegal online car-hailing platforms robbed taxi drivers of business, some people took free vouchers, and small citizens smeared the taxi industry for small profits.
To this day, it has also been scourged, and no one is immune to the Internet oligopoly!
If there are no accidents, this is also the result of the current community group buying.
The car drove through a wasteland, and there were thousands of colorful shared bicycles, layered on top of each other, drenched in water and sun, and like garbage.
Back then, it was so majestic that it occupied every corner of the city.
When he arrived at the train station, he got on the train back to Nanshan.
When he arrived at the entrance of the community, when it was time for lunch, he went to the restaurant to eat. The hotel launched a "doomsday dinner" that didn't require money, saying that anyway, the banknotes will be useless in the future, so everyone should be happy.
Gao Ming was familiar with that restaurant, because he had taken it many times before.
The boss still remembers Gao Ming and greeted him warmly: I haven't seen you for a long time! Where have you been?
Gao Ming asked: I was arrested by the police and just released.
The boss said: After a few months, everyone is dead, and the arrest and arrest are the same.
Zheng Riqiang nodded: That's it, wait for that day to come, and everyone will finish together.
The TV in the restaurant was broadcasting, and Zheng Riqiang and Confucius Mei landed on Mars, and the new people watched nonchalantly.
Also, some people drew pictures of Martians from memory: blue people, short people, squinting eyes, big heads, small mouths, small bellies.
On TV again, 1,200 tickets from BIPU have been sold out, and now no matter how much money you have, you can't buy them.
Someone next to me is discussing: how much is the ticket now?
Another person said casually: There is a black market, 500 million US dollars, but now the cash is gone, I want gold, and now gold is also crazy, 10,000 US dollars a gram, a ticket costs 50 kilograms of gold, not to mention, you can't afford it anyway.
The other party said: Cut! As if you can afford it!
The two looked at each other and laughed.
Gao Ming pouted: 500 million US dollars, I don't have 5 US dollars, and I won't give it if I have it. Isn't it just a lifetime? What about death?
Suddenly, a piece of news came on TV: What's new!
After reading the "latest news", Gao Ming was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth.
