Chapter 38: Shocking Public Trial
The voice came from the crowd, and no one knew who it was.
The short and fat man could no longer conceal his panic. "Who are you? I'm warning you not to slander anyone. I'm a senior civil affairs officer in the Civil Affairs Department, and my father is the internal affairs executive officer of the Governor's Office. If you want to slander me, kid, be careful or I'll sue you!"
There was a brief silence. Lin Wen glanced at him and said coldly, "People from the third district of the seventh resettlement site, come forward."
Repeated three times in a row.
About thirty people squeezed through the crowd to the front.
They were a group of thin, half-naked people.
Lin Wen pointed at the short and fat man: "Do you know him?"
A series of uneven voices: "I know you."
"I know him."
"He's the supervisor."
Lin Wen noticed that this group of people were a little timid and had obvious fear of the short and fat man, but did not have that much trust in him.
Obviously, this is a group of people who only know about him through oral transmission, still have doubts about his various legends, and cannot fully trust his nature.
In order to improve efficiency, Lin Wen deliberately opened the Seven Apertures Heart and used an extremely difficult operation - every time he said a few words, he would interrupt the Seven Apertures Heart, manually connect to the next word, and then open the Seven Apertures Heart again, repeating this process until he finished speaking all the words.
This is the way to ensure that the topic will not deviate and communication is unimpeded to the greatest extent possible.
The disadvantage is that in order to avoid appearing like a stutterer who pauses dozens of times in a sentence, or a madman who speaks incoherently and unclearly, he must concentrate, focus his mind, and think at full speed to avoid mistakes.
"I am justice, the embodiment of the empire. I come here to judge corrupt officials. Justice, like the sun, will never fade. The evil of the world will be exposed under the scorching sun and disappear like gray snow. The guilty need not fear, for they will be brought to justice. All grievances will be redressed here."
The first "I am" was said by Qiqiao Linglongxin, and Lin Wen immediately redirected it to the topic of justice, so that it would not talk too much and just try to build friendship without getting to the point.
Judging from the results, the effect is quite good.
As soon as he finished speaking, a middle-aged man among the thirty people jumped up and shouted, "That's him! That liar, that bastard! He only gave us seven bottles of medicine, but we're in a severely infected area, and most of the people don't have any to take..."
Someone pulled him, but he only became more agitated when he pulled his sleeve: "Hasn't he harmed you enough? He has killed so many of us. I, I, I will fight him to the death."
He suddenly rushed towards the stage, but the next moment, a black figure reached out like lightning, grabbed his collar, and with one hand, pressed him firmly into the dust with a bang.
Lin Wen took a look and found that it was the giant man called Uncle Jie. Not far away from him stood the pretty boy and five giant men.
Seeing his gaze sweeping over, the pretty boy waved to him excitedly: "Don't worry, Wenjun, Uncle Jie will protect you!"
Lin Wen had no time to pay attention to his strange name and change of attitude, and immediately said to the giant in black: "Let him go!"
Uncle Jie slowly stood up and pulled the victim up.
Lin Wen said to the middle-aged man in a kind manner, "Don't be afraid. Tell me in detail what he said and did at the time."
Fear and anger were intertwined in the expression of this poor victim, but he still mustered up the courage to repeat what he had just said in detail.
It was nothing more than deceiving superiors and subordinates, abusing power, and enriching oneself. After listening to it, Lin Wen turned to the short and fat man and said, "What else do you have to say?"
The short and fat man burst into tears, "Headmaster Lin! I, I was, at that time, they, they saw that there was so little medicine and were very angry. I said that because I was afraid of being beaten by the victims and my personal safety was threatened. I was wrong, I was really wrong. I will be careful when I ride my bike or walk in the future and will not lose my medicine again, Headmaster Lin!"
Hearing his words, the thirty or so disaster victims showed angry expressions. The middle-aged man on the stage had red eyes and clenched his fists tightly, but no one spoke or moved.
Lin Wen knew that it was the negative effects caused by the imperial ills and cultural environment of this world, as well as Uncle Jie's actions just now, but this did not affect the overall situation.
If this short and fat guy had only done this little thing, he wouldn't be so angry.
"At 6:51 pm on the 21st, where were you and what were you doing?"
The short and fat man was stunned for a moment and his face turned pale. He tried to disguise himself, but he couldn't hide his trembling legs.
Lin Wen shouted, "Huang Mingxiao, what did he do?"
A few seconds of silence.
Huang Mingxiao quickly reviewed his memory and replied, "He said the disaster victims were suffering from a serious illness, so he took 38 bottles of AbbVie's Johnson & Johnson Type III antibiotics from the warehouse. It was the last batch of medicine."
Lin Wen turned to the other side: "Did he distribute the medicine?"
The middle-aged man's face was distorted: "This son of a bitch has nothing!"
Lin Wen turned to the short and fat man and asked sternly, "Where's the medicine you got? Where is it?"
The short and fat man's lips were trembling and he couldn't speak. He tried hard to find an excuse, but it was in vain. In the face of the iron-clad facts, no lies could make up for it.
"Also, at 6:51 pm on the 22nd, what were you doing there?"
The short and fat man looked terrified. "I'm eating. I didn't do anything. I just have a headache. I'm going back to Huaizhen. Go, have dinner with my friends..."
Lin Wen stared into his eyes and asked, "Is Ke Aibo, the distributor of AbbVie and Johnson & Johnson Pharmaceuticals, your friend?"
"I, I, I, I don't know..."
"Whose bank card is 91298373861? Who transferred 30,250 Imperial Yuan at 7:33 PM on the 22nd, and why?"
The short and fat man was speechless, and every piece of fat on his body was trembling.
With a bang, a heavy punch hit the short and fat man in the face. It was not Lin Wen.
He simply turned to face everyone, the loud blast of the electric horn echoing across the wilderness outside the town.
"Yu Dachang! He is guilty of dereliction of duty, murder, and crimes against humanity, resulting in the deaths of 31 disaster victims. His crimes are unforgivable. He is sentenced to death and executed immediately!"
Fang Yaobo on the side seemed to want to say something, but Lin Wen ignored him and turned around to pull out a special pistol from the waist of the giant man in black.
Uncle Jie was a little surprised, but did not stop him and let him draw out the pistol.
Lin Wen flicked the safety and pointed the pistol at the short and fat man's head.
Bang!
The roar of huge gunfire echoed across the wilderness.
The high-speed 6.59 pointed shell bullet from the short gun directly penetrated his head. Due to the close distance, it only had a penetrating effect, which made the scene less terrifying.
The short and fat man's eyes were wide open, as if he couldn't believe that he was dead like this.
With a plop.
His body fell on the wooden platform, and even the victim who beat him was stunned.
The sound of the fall was amplified to the entire venue by the loudspeaker.
There was complete silence.
After a few seconds, Fang Yaobo's dry voice was heard: "Guilty, guilty, imprisoned in death row, Qiu, beheaded after the autumn harvest, uh..."
The next second, huge cheers flooded the sky and the earth.
