Since it was an attempted case, and Gao Siming had also provided his DSTH medical records from the hospital explaining that he was not fit to travel, the prosecution, court, and judicial authorities did not insist on this and agreed to Gao Siming's application for absence from court.

Peng Yuanyuan, who has been detained in the Andingsi Detention Center for more than a month, looks noticeably haggard.

Peng Yuanyuan was not too surprised to see that it was Li Nan who came to escort her.

During her detention, she learned about her possible sentence from a junior police officer at the Anti-Dating Bureau.

If my grandfather were still alive, my behavior would be a trivial matter. At most, I would just get a scolding from him if he made a phone call.

But now that he's gone, who still recognizes Peng Zuci?

How many people still remember that she is the granddaughter of the former chief of Caiyun County?

There's nothing I can do now but face reality and pay the price for my impulsiveness.

During this time, Qingyu has fallen into a deep sleep, unwilling to endure this cruel reality any longer. In the detention cell, Maria is the one controlling this body.

However, being imprisoned, both Qingyu and Maria can only await the punishment of the law.

There is currently no precedent in Huaren for allowing schizophrenic individuals to have their culpability reduced!

When the two met, the haughty Maria remained silent until they entered the courtroom, just before she was about to enter the dock. Only then did she turn to Li Nan and say:

"Li Nan, don't be fooled by Gao Siming anymore. You should have seen my surveillance video. Do you really believe that he never left the community?"

Li Nan didn't respond. Maria smiled faintly, "Gao Siming often receives packages from tea merchants. Go ask the delivery guy, and you'll know the answer."

"Peng Yuanyuan, thank you for the clue!" Li Nan returned the smile. "But your attempt to sow discord was too low-level and useless! Your five-year sentence will be over soon; use it to reform yourself!"

Maria said nothing more, and turned to walk towards the defendant's dock with a blank expression.

The interrogation process was uneventful, no different from any other case.

With the unanimous agreement of the prosecution, court, and judicial jury, the suspect Peng Yuanyuan was found guilty of murdering the victim Gao Siming by using highly toxic biological poison controlled by Huaren and illegally modified lethal weapons.

Although no substantial harm was ultimately caused to Gao Siming, there was intent to kill.

Because of his good attitude in admitting his guilt, and with the unanimous agreement of the jury of the Tanhua City Procuratorate, Court and Justice Bureau, the suspect was sentenced to five years in prison for attempted murder, illegal possession and use of illegal lethal weapons, and other crimes, to be executed immediately!

After the trial concluded, Li Nan greeted the jurors one by one and then left the courtroom directly.

On the way back to Anding Division, Li Nan called Gao Siming.

"Brother Gao, do you know the result now?"

On the other end of the phone, Gao Siming nodded. "Attorney Chang has already told me that Peng Yuanyuan deserved what she got."

"Five years isn't a long time. If she behaves well inside, she should be able to get out in a little over three years."

"Actually, I didn't want to see her come to this!"

"Brother Gao, I understand!"

Li Nan originally wanted to tell Gao Siming her suspicions that Peng Yuanyuan was related to Woman A in Case 0609.

The words were on the tip of his tongue, but he swallowed them back down.

No matter what, the two of them had shared many romantic moments and made vows of eternal love.

Now, if I tell Gao Siming these things, although it can't be considered breaking up a couple, it does have the suspicion of kicking someone when they're down.

The two chatted for a few minutes before hanging up the phone.

On the other side, Gao Siming put down the phone, and the red light in his right eye, which he hadn't seen for a long time, flashed again.

Dog Egg said gloatingly, "Hehe, Peng Yuanyuan, we finally got you in, but things are far from over!"

"It's easy to get in, but do you think you can get out? Hahaha..."

"Little brother, you're so naughty!"

"It's mid-May now, and by the end of July at the latest, Fatty Zhao should be showing up, right?"

"The timing seems about right, maybe even faster! Should I go turn off the power?"

"No need, no need. I've already paid the electricity bill for half a year, and the power is about to be cut off in the house!"

"Hahaha……"

Gao Siming's brainstorming continued, and a familiar tricycle had just sped past on the path outside the villa.

Gao Siming asked, "By the way, Gou Dan, has the tail been taken care of?"

Dog Egg chuckled softly, "Don't worry, brother. Ever since I thought about this, I've made sure to have a good chat with these delivery guys every time they come over!"

"The delivery guy is fine, but some information isn't so easy to erase!"

"It's okay, brother, the delivery guy will explain for us! No matter how much they investigate, they'll eventually conclude that you've stayed home the whole time and haven't gone out!"

"That's good, Gou Dan is really amazing!"
