Chapter 247 Not Guilty
"What evidence?"
"Before the trial, we received a handwritten letter from the Deputy Chief of Law Enforcement Officer of Aurora City. Chief Tan Xin explained in the letter that the defendant Han Meng's move to release the train into the city that day was due to his secret instructions..."
When the defense lawyer took the envelope out of his bag, there was a burst of whispers in the courtroom.
"Han Meng opened the door, was he ordered by Chief Tan Xin? What's going on?"
"I don't know... If that's the case, then this verdict is simply a misunderstanding? But why didn't Tan Xin directly order the door to be opened, but asked Han Meng to let the train in in that way? Doesn't this make sense?"
"Are there any other concerns? For example, there is disagreement among the law enforcement officials?"
"No matter what, Tan Xin testified on Han Meng's behalf, proving that he is indeed innocent...accusing him of being a member of the Twilight Society is simply nonsense."
"I felt something was wrong before. I pulled out a playing card from under the bed and it turned out to be a member of the Dusk Club? Then there are two cards in my house... There is something really wrong with that Fang Lichang!"
"..."
The letter was brought to the trial stand. After opening it, Guyuan just glanced at it and put it aside.
"The defendant's rebuttal statement has been completed." After the defense lawyer finished all this, he looked up at the trial platform. "The prosecution has left the court. Facts have proved that all its accusations were deliberately framed... How to deal with the final judgment of the defendant Han Meng ?”
Guyuan sat on the judge's bench and slowly flipped through the documents in his hand. He did not answer immediately. The jury around him also whispered in low voices, as if they were discussing something.
At the same time, a loud commotion came from outside the court door.
Through the glazed glass windows, you can see the figures of residents holding newspapers gathered outside, looking inside... And as time goes by, more and more people are outside. After a while, I don't know. Who suddenly shouted:
"Let Han Meng go! Law enforcement officer Han Meng is not guilty!"
The moment this sound rang out, everyone in District 3 in the auditorium was stunned. They looked out the window blankly, not knowing what was happening.
"The inside story of the boycott trial! Boycott the deliberate suppression! Law enforcement officer Han Meng won a glimmer of hope for the survivors and performed his duties faithfully! He should be innocent!!"
"Law enforcement officer Han Meng is a real man! If you even frame him, are you still a human being?"
"We demand that all the details of this case be made public! Let the law enforcement officer Han Meng be innocent!"
"Let Han Meng go! Han Meng is not guilty!!"
"..."
More and more figures were shouting outside, and their voices passed through the open door of the court and continued to echo inside... Standing in the dock, Han Meng was slightly stunned, with confusion and confusion in his eyes.
Xu Chongguo in the auditorium seemed to have thought of something. He bent down on the ground and picked up the newspaper that Fang Lichang had just dropped. The headline was an article exposing the organ trade of the Stars Chamber of Commerce. When he turned the newspaper back to the second page, his whole body was filled with excitement. Stunned in place.
"This is……"
"Han Meng is not guilty!!" Perhaps it was exaggerated by the voices outside. The people in the third district, who were still sluggish because of the lack of banners and loudspeakers, suddenly stood up from the auditorium with their eyes as if they had been given a shot of blood. Bright as a star!
"Han Meng is not guilty!!"
"Han Meng is not guilty!!!"
Zhao Yi clenched his fists and led the crowd to shout one after another. Even Ling'er stood up and held the corner of Zhao Yi's clothes with one hand, while waving the other hand vigorously to their rhythm, her little face It's full of seriousness.
The noise inside and outside the court made the law enforcers who were maintaining order in a hurry. Even passers-by in the auditorium opposite began to shout for Han Meng. They couldn't control so many people disrupting the court, and the scene was extremely chaotic.
Among the people in the third area who were shaking their fists and shouting, Chen Ling was the only one sitting quietly. His eyes scanned the entire court, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly;
He gently pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, stood up gently, and walked alone outside the court amid the chaos and shouting...
The brown coat swayed lightly in the wind, like a person behind the scenes who created a wonderful performance and walked offstage to the warm applause of the audience.
The show has ended. Maybe no one will know what happened behind all this, and no one will know the truth, but Chen Ling doesn't care... He only cares about one thing -
Today, the victory is determined!
The moment Chen Ling stepped out of the court door, a crisp hammering sound came from behind.
Boom——!
"After the final decision of the Aurora City Trial Court..."
"The defendant Han Meng is acquitted!"
The moment the last four words were spoken, a burst of cheers resounded throughout the court. Amidst the warm applause, Han Meng, who was standing in the dock, seemed to feel something and turned his head slightly to look behind him...
Behind him, on the long road filled with glaze, a figure in a brown coat looked back, then turned and disappeared at the door of the court.
"Chief Han Meng is really acquitted!"
"I know good people are rewarded! Now we can have a good sleep!"
"Remember to take the banners and loudspeakers with you when you go out. Don't forget, those things cost a lot of money..."
During the joyful conversation among the people in the third area, Zhao Yi seemed to think of something and his eyes narrowed slightly.
He turned and walked straight out of the court.
"Xiao Yi, where are you going?" Xu Chongguo asked Ling'er in confusion when he saw this scene.
"I have something to do, you guys will go back later."
After Zhao Yi finished speaking, before Xu Chongguo could speak again, his figure disappeared outside the court door...
On the trial stage, Guyuan and the other trial officials stood up and were about to leave. When his eyes fell on Han Meng below the stage, he spoke:
"Han Meng, you can go."
Several law enforcers came forward with Han Meng's clothes and belongings. Han Meng was silent for a moment and took them all, "Thank you, Senior Guyuan."
"No need to thank me, I just did what I should do." Guyuan replied calmly, "But if someone hadn't helped you secretly, this judgment wouldn't have been so smooth... To a certain extent, you and I, Everyone should thank him.”
After the words fell, Guyuan put on a black windbreaker and turned around to leave.
Han Meng's observation and reasoning skills have never been weak. Even if Guyuan didn't remind him, he had already felt the strangeness in the court today. This series of reversals and the revenge of the other party Lichang, if no one was behind it, he would definitely be Those who don’t believe it... But until now he entered Aurora City, he knew almost no one, so who would help him like this?
