For this court hearing, all the less busy colleagues from the Criminal Investigation Division came.

Of course, Hu Xing and the deceased's family also arrived at the same time.

So there are quite a few people in the audience area right now.

The colleagues breathed a sigh of relief when they saw them return.

Su He quickly told Captain Chen about Zhou Dandan's situation, and Captain Chen hurriedly confirmed it with the police who were waiting to report on the case.

The trial began quickly.

The police first gave a brief account of the case, and also asked Zhou Dandan, the victim at the time, to testify in court.

Although Zhou Dandan was very nervous, with the mental preparation Su He had done for her along the way, and seeing the little girl in handcuffs in the defendant's seat, she couldn't help but tear up.

Finally, despite his body trembling with nervousness, he managed to stammer out the words.

Even when the judge asked her some more details later, she turned pale as she recalled them, but she still answered them very carefully.

When Su He saw that the deceased's parents looked very upset after she came out as a witness, she guessed that this was something they hadn't expected.

Later, the police stated that Hu Tao did not really intend to kill anyone; she only wanted to save someone. Although her methods were excessive, she was just a young girl who was only thinking about saving people as quickly as possible and did not consider the issue of force. It was probably an accident that she killed someone.

However, after hearing what the police said, the deceased's family did not accept it and loudly refuted it in the audience, but they were quickly reprimanded by the judge and shut up, but they still did not seem to be satisfied.

Su He thought it was fortunate that there were no lawyers in this era, otherwise this case would have been much more complicated. Given the extent to which the deceased's family was making trouble, it would probably be difficult to reach a conclusion in a short time.

Thinking further ahead, Su He looked at the courtroom and realized that all the police officers in the city bureau, including Captain Chen, had jointly issued a request.

Hopefully, the judge will give Hu Tao a lenient sentence, since she accidentally killed someone while trying to save them, and her motive was good.

If the sentence is too harsh this time, who will dare to save people in the future?

Should we think about whether saving someone will bring us danger?

Besides, Hu Tao is only a 16-year-old soon-to-be high school student. Such a brave and good girl should not bear such a heavy burden of guilt.

The judge seemed thoughtful after reading the request.

Finally, after deliberation by the judges, the verdict was delivered.

Although Hu Tao was trying to save someone, it is a fact that she accidentally caused someone's death. Given that her intentions were good, the judge sentenced her to six years in prison.

The case is finally closed.

Su He and the others breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing the result, but they weren't exactly happy. Although Hu Tao was ultimately spared the death penalty, it was still six years of a young girl's life!

The Hu family members, needless to say, cried from beginning to end. Hu Tao, on the other hand, had been smiling the whole time, only starting to cry after the verdict was handed down.

The deceased's family looked grim upon hearing the verdict. They had made extensive preparations beforehand, never expecting Zhou Dandan's sudden appearance, and the judge they were familiar with had been replaced...

In the end, all they could do was glare at the Hu family and leave.

Zhou Dandan was also crying. After leaving the courthouse, she bowed deeply to the Hu family while crying, repeatedly saying sorry.

The Hu family looked at her with complicated emotions. If they blamed her, it really wasn't her fault, but if they didn't blame her, their daughter was completely ruined because of her.

But no matter what, fortunately, Hu Tao was spared death because she appeared in time to testify.

So the Hu family decided not to say anything more. Just then, they saw a man and a woman running towards them from not far away...
