Ishigami Bai's voice was neither too loud nor too low. He stared at the embarrassed defendant. Even with glasses on, the defendant still felt pressured. As soon as he opened his mouth, the defendant stopped making a fuss unconsciously.
"Taking into account that some defendants may still not be able to pay off their fines after the court has auctioned off all their assets, and that their income is limited and they are unable to repay, the court gives the defendants another way to repay the fines, namely, to go to prison and work with unpaid prisoners, earn wages to pay off their fines, and the prison will be responsible for meeting their basic living needs." This is a disguised detention clause. The defendants generally do not have any special skills, and it is too difficult for them to pay off the fines.
Pushing them into a corner is like cutting off their escape route! This is how all the defendants felt.
"All confiscated employment fees will be deposited into a newly established foundation under the court to help victims in similar cases." Ishigami Kashiwa looked at the defendants who finally showed signs of fear and struggle, and his eyes showed satisfaction. He said the last sentence, "If you have objections to the verdict, you can appeal, and you can also provide new evidence and new witnesses to reopen the case for investigation."
After saying this, Ishigami Kashiwa turned around and was about to leave. Behind him, a woman who had collapsed on the ground in despair on the first day of the attack looked up at Ishigami Kashiwa's back and shouted, "If I tell who hired me, can I get a reduction in the fine after an appeal?"
Her daughter needs constant nursing after the operation. The verdict and the employer's statement are different, and her retreat is completely cut off. She must do her best to reduce the sentence.
"Maybe." Ishigami Kashiwa curled his lips, "The judge will handle it at his discretion."
"I'm reporting it. I'm reporting the person who hired me. The person accidentally said that this was a deliberate revenge against Dr. Zhu Jin, and asked us to slap Zhu Jin hard. Don't worry about anything else. At most, we will receive educational punishment. They have people and connections in the army, and they can guarantee our safety."
"Booo..." Everyone was excited and talking about it.
Zhu Jin stood up suddenly, looked at the woman with shock on his face and repeated, "The army? How could it be the army? If it was intentional revenge, it should be someone I offended..." Zhu Jin's eyes widened suddenly, as if he suddenly remembered something, "I have hit people..." His voice unconsciously became louder, and he shook his head after he finished speaking, "But I have only hit... reporters. The people who are obsessed with slapping in revenge should be the ones I have hit, right? Did you hear me wrong?" Zhu Jin looked at his fellow reporters below and asked the woman in confusion.
“!!!” The eyes of the people in the audience and reporters lit up at the same time. The person Zhu Jin had beaten?
Not long after the incident of Zhu Jin beating someone, almost everyone thought of the incident of Zhu Jin beating Lian Huier. Then, everyone's eyes lit up. Lian Huier was a reporter, not a soldier, but her father was one of the five generals of the Blue Water Star. This was indeed an extraordinary power in the army.
"No, it was the army! I heard it clearly. I was afraid they would lie to me, so I eavesdropped on his phone call." Everyone in the gallery thought of it, but the woman who said she would report the employer did not. She shook her head desperately amid the noise to prove that what she said was the fact.
Zhu Jin made a surprised expression, speechless about her own acting, and then quickly made an expression as if she remembered something but found it incredible. Shi Shangbai raised his eyebrows at her expression, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, clearly seeing the smile flashing in Zhu Jin's eyes.
Lian Huier and the army were easily connected, and the war spread to Lian Chengze and his daughter Lian Huier as they wished.
The judge finally took over the baton of presiding over the court again, "Defendants who disagree with this verdict may appeal. I now declare the court closed."
The presiding judge, judges and jury had all left, but the reporters and people in the gallery did not move. As soon as the presiding judge's gavel fell, all the media reporters crowded up and crowded in front of the gallery to ask questions.
"Doctor Zhu Jin, are you being retaliated against because you beat up reporter Lian Huier before?"
"Doctor Zhu Jin, reporter Lian Hui'er was also slapped. Is this your intentional revenge?"
"Doctor Zhu Jin, do you think that reporter Lian Hui'er's father, General Lian, was involved?"
"Doctor Zhu Jin, did you know about Congress's actions in advance?"
"Doctor Zhu Jin, this time the sentence is so severe, and the defendant has been crying foul. Do you have a clear conscience?"
"Dr. Zhu Jin..." The familiar bombardment of questions. Although there are fewer reporters, there are just as many questions.
Zhu Jin pulled his gaze away from Shi Shangbai's back and looked at the reporters, thinking about how to answer one or two questions. Just then, a reporter asked loudly, "Doctor Zhu Jin, what do you think about everyone's doubts about the character of the real princess?" His voice stood out from the crowd.
So, Zhu Jin and everyone looked at him. His fellow reporters looked at him and reminded him with contempt, brother, you are intruding!
Zhu Jin ignored him with his actions and answered other reporters' questions, "The jury members have already explained why the sentence this time was heavier than similar cases. I personally support this move by Congress."
"As for who is behind this, if the defendant today provides clues, I believe the police will find out soon and make the employer subject to relevant legal sanctions. I deeply regret the same slap attack that reporter Lian Huier encountered. I personally am most opposed to private malicious revenge, and I will never retaliate intentionally. This was not done by me." Zhu Jin pursed his lips and spoke righteously.
"I have a clear conscience towards the defendant." After saying the last sentence, Zhu Jin bent down and bowed lightly to say goodbye, with brisk and calm steps.
On the other side, Lian Huier rushed to Lian Chengze's office with anxious footsteps.
"Dad, I received a call from the police requesting an investigation." Because the scars on her face had not yet healed, Lian Huier wore a mask and sunglasses to cover them. The trial situation was beyond her expectations, and in the end it was so easily linked to her. While she was still digesting the news, the police called her door, so quickly.
"It's okay, just say you didn't know. This matter has nothing to do with you." Lian Chengze watched the live broadcast of the congressional news and listened to the so-called new legal provisions with cold eyes.
"Will it lead to Dad?" Lian Huier asked immediately.
"No, it's just that we need to throw out a few chess pieces." Lian Chengze stood up and pulled Lian Huier to sit on the sofa. He spoke nonchalantly, which was completely opposite to the violent emotions in his eyes. "They moved too fast this time, and I was busy with other things. I was caught off guard. Dad will never be in trouble."
This incident was a contest, and he lost this time.
He underestimated his opponent.
Lian Huier breathed a sigh of relief, "This sentence is too heavy..."
"Yeah." Lian Chengze nodded. Those people were greedy and cowardly. The sentence was so heavy, he didn't need to think too much, and he knew that they must be eager to report the employer in order to reduce the sentence or fine.
He is bound to lose a few of his people.
His reputation was bound to be affected, which he could accept, but what he could not accept was that Lian Huier was also affected. In just a few days, the image that Lian Huier had worked so hard to build was completely destroyed because of Zhu Jin.
This is most unforgivable.
The second trial of Zhu Jin's malicious attack and attempted murder was quickly opened the next day. Thanks to Mi Qiang's confession and the investigation, several small fish and a major fish were caught.
This big fish is a practical and capable general of Lian Chengze. He may not be favored at ordinary times, but in fact he has done a lot of things that Lian Chengze asked him to do. He has been rising steadily over the years and has a bright future. If it weren't for this accident, within a few years, he would not be someone that Ishigami Bai could easily pull down.
The big fish behind the scenes showed up, and all kinds of speculations were rife. The former major kept silent except for admitting that he had hired someone. Because of his military status, the former major was sentenced to a heavy sentence. In contrast, the second trial of Mi Qiang and others was changed and the sentence was lighter, but still heavier than before.
The enthusiasm of the Congress quickly heated up with this case, and the legal provisions were soon formally passed and incorporated into the law. In the following year, similar cases dropped sharply, and the number of professionals who specialized in intimidation and malicious revenge on people dropped sharply, greatly reducing the phenomenon of hired injuries, murders, kidnappings, etc.
Ishigami Kashiwa officially entered the sight of cabinet members and the prime minister, embarking on a new journey that he had never imagined.
In contrast, Lian Huier fell into a low profile due to the continuous events, and like Helian Zhen, entered a cold storage period. Lian Chengze was quickly transferred back to the affiliated planet to continue his stationing because of this incident, on the grounds that he was not suitable to stay on the Blue Water Planet.
However, Zhu Jin continued to be unusually active in front of the media, because she received a call from Basil the moment the signal was restored in the courtroom after the second trial closed.
Zhu Jin, who had just stood up to leave the court, was bowing and saying goodbye to the reporters who never ran out of questions when he heard the phone ring and picked it up.
"Doctor Zhu Jin, Huanhuan's surgery will start in ten minutes. I just received a notice from the operating room. Nurse Si said that she saw traces of artificial removal of Huanhuan's cornea." Zhu Jin has been asking Luo Le to pay attention to Huanhuan's condition, but Doctor Nan is Huanhuan's attending physician. She doesn't want others to see Huanhuan's condition, so Zhu Jin and his wife can't see it. The old Xu couple hate Zhu Jin, and it is even more impossible for them to see Huanhuan's eyes.
Since Dr. Nan was interviewed, the number of patients has increased. It is impossible to predict when Huanhuan's corneal transplant surgery will be scheduled. Luo Le finally had no choice but to ask Nurse Si in the operating room to help when Dr. Nan brought Huanhuan in for surgery preparation. The preparation before the surgery usually takes fifteen to ten minutes. Nurse Si remembered Luo Le's instructions. As soon as Huanhuan was brought in, she looked at the test results and carefully examined Huanhuan's eyes.
The result she saw made her shudder with fear. She was an ace nurse in the operating room. Although she had never performed an operation herself, she had seen many more surgical scenes than the average doctor. It was easy for her to distinguish between corneal injury and artificial removal. She contacted Luo Le immediately, and Luo Le contacted Zhu Jin immediately.
Zhu Jin's face, which was originally smiling at the reporter, suddenly turned cold, and her voice was tense, "Baile, if Chonglou is not in surgery, tell Chonglou and let him handle it. If Chonglou is in surgery, find someone you can who can stop Dr. Nan from operating. You must stop her from operating. I will call the police immediately and rush to the hospital."
