Chapter 232 Frame-up
The moment these banners appeared, the court suddenly fell into dead silence.
Zhao Yi didn't say a word, and neither did the other three district residents. They just held these banners quietly, with firm and stubborn expressions.
"What are you doing?" Seeing this, a law enforcer's face changed slightly and he hurriedly walked forward, "You are disturbing the order of the court! Put these things away quickly!"
"We were just holding banners, making no noise, and not disturbing anyone. This does not count as disturbing the order of the court." Boss Xu said forcefully.
"you……"
Seeing this, the law enforcer's expression changed one after another, but after hesitating for a long time, he still made no move.
It can be seen that everyone in District 3 did their homework before coming. The scene that Chen Ling imagined of disrupting the court to defend Han Meng did not appear. Instead, they took advantage of the loopholes in the rules of the Aurora City Trial Court. He saw this scene , feeling slightly relieved in my heart...
Han Meng, who was in the dock, seemed to have heard the movement here. He looked back and saw familiar faces in the auditorium, and he froze on the spot.
Guyuan glanced at the banner, a faint smile flashed in his eyes, and continued in a deep voice:
"The defendant Han Meng, the former chief of the law enforcement officers of the three districts, disobeyed law enforcement orders on December 13, 379 of the New Calendar, and clashed with three law enforcement officers without authorization, leaving the city gate unguarded. He is now charged with 'disobedience of orders' and 'unauthorized action'. The trial of the two charges of leaving office has begun..."
Guyuan's voice was neither fast nor slow, giving people a feeling of stability. Halfway through hearing it, Chen Ling's eyes flashed with surprise.
"Eh..." Wen Shilin also spoke in a low voice with some surprise, "This case statement... is a bit interesting. Could it be that someone at the top of the law enforcement officials was deliberately protecting Han Meng? After such a big incident, only accusations were made in the end. These two crimes.”
Wen Shilin thought the same as Chen Ling. Although what Guyuan said was indeed true, what happened at that time was far more than that. Things including Han Meng openly questioning Aurora City and opening the door for Chen Ling and the others were deliberately hidden... ...In the end, he was charged with two major and minor crimes: "disobeying orders" and "absent from duty."
Everyone in the third area also vaguely noticed something, but they were not sure. Only Boss Xu stared at Gu Yuan on the trial stage, thoughtfully.
"It seems that Han Meng is stable this time." Wen Shilin couldn't help but sigh, "According to the current charges, even if the sentence is sentenced to no more than seven or eight years at most, it is already the best result."
As Gu Yuan finished speaking, his eyes swept downwards and looked at the position of Han Meng's defense lawyer.
"Defendant, do you have any objection to this accusation?"
The defense lawyer stood up. He inadvertently glanced at the jury and the media reporters in the gallery, with glimmers of light flickering in his eyes.
"I have objections." The person who said this was not the defense lawyer, but the prosecutor sitting next to Gu Yuan. As soon as these words came out, he immediately attracted the attention of the audience.
Guyuan frowned, turned to look at the prosecutor with squinted eyes, his face was a little gloomy,
"Oh? What objection do you have?"
"During my investigation of the defendant, I discovered more details that are inconsistent with the current case statement. Please allow me to make a statement, your honor."
As soon as this sentence came out, all the reporters in the gallery opposite took out pens and paper and began to record it seriously. At the same time, countless cameras focused on Judge Guyuan, as if waiting for his answer.
Guyuan felt the change in the atmosphere in the courtroom, his eyes were extremely cold. He looked at the prosecutor beside him, and a faint murderous intention radiated out.
After a long time, he uttered one word coldly:
"read."
"Han Meng, the law enforcement officer of the Third District, relied on his official power to oppress and exploit the residents of the Third District, led a group of law enforcement officers to forcibly collect protection fees, and even colluded with the evil forces in the Second District to secretly conduct organ and drug trade. , arms trade..."
Hearing this, the expressions of everyone in the gallery changed. They looked at the prosecutor in shock, their eyes full of disbelief.
"Damn, what the hell are you talking about here?!!"
"That's right! Chief Han Meng collects protection fees? Trades organs?? Are you kidding??"
“Whose accusation is this? It’s simply framed and framed!!!”
"..."
Everyone in the third district was angry. They all stood up and pointed at the prosecutor's nose and began to curse. Their voices instantly overshadowed the prosecutor's statement and interrupted him.
Zhao Yi also widened his eyes and was about to stand up to say something, but was pushed back to his seat by Chen Ling who was standing beside him.
"Don't move." Chen Ling said in a deep voice.
As soon as Chen Ling finished speaking, several law enforcers came to the auditorium on this side as if they had been prepared, and said coldly, "If you openly disturb the order of the court, your qualifications to be auditors will be revoked... Those who just cursed me Please come out with us."
Without waiting for anyone to resist, the law enforcers swarmed up and forcibly escorted them out of the auditorium. The number of people on this side was reduced by nearly two-thirds.
Seeing the companions struggling to be taken away, Zhao Yi's eyes almost burst out with anger. At the same time, Boss Xu's low voice came from behind:
"They did it on purpose...Xiao Yi, this is a court, we must not be impulsive, do you understand?"
Zhao Yi took a deep breath and tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart, "But... this is simply a frame-up!"
"What's fake is fake. Only by staying here can we become witnesses when necessary. I can see that the forces in this trial court... are not that simple." Boss Xu looked at the trial platform. His eyes narrowed slightly.
On the judgment stand.
Guyuan stared at the interrupted prosecutor, "Prosecutor, why don't you hand over these charges in advance before the trial?"
"Time is urgent, and I just learned about these things."
"Then you are making accusations now. Do you have any evidence?"
"Yes." The prosecutor nodded, "In terms of organ trading, we have detailed transaction records, which come from the underground ruins of the Stars Chamber of Commerce. They clearly record the entire process of Han and Mongolian organizations looting organs and conducting transactions with the city; As for the forced collection of protection fees, we also have witnesses..."
"Please witness Old Man Ding."
After the prosecutor finished speaking, the two law enforcers walked out from the side protecting an old man. The moment they saw the man, Zhao Yi and others in the auditorium widened their eyes in disbelief.
"Old Ding?? Why is he here..." Xu Chongguo muttered to himself.
Zhao Yi seemed to have thought of something, his eyes flashed with murderous intent, "This damn traitor..."
Old man Ding's head was lowered, and his narrow eyes glanced at Han Meng and the auditorium, but he did not dare to look at them at all. After he reached the witness seat, he raised his head and looked at the many law enforcement officers on the trial stage. .
He took a deep breath and said decisively:
"I can testify that everything the prosecutor said is true!"
