Zhou Quanbang had no defense lawyer. The entire trial process consisted of listing a series of crimes he had committed and asking him to plead guilty.
Zhou Quanbang's psychological defenses seemed to have collapsed long ago, and he readily admitted to all the charges listed by the presiding judge.
Each time he admitted to a crime, a murmur rippled through the room.
"How could he have done so many heinous things?"
"He's a minor, how could he be such a beast?"
"If he isn't sentenced to death, it would be an outrage against heaven and earth!"
“My son used to have excellent grades, but it was ruined by the drugs he sold!”
"Has this wicked man, who has committed so many evil deeds, finally gotten his just deserts today?"
【Ding ding ding】
The sound of a hammer striking the table rang out again.
At the same time, Judge Xie Jiahui's stern voice echoed throughout the courtroom, "Silence! This is a court hearing. Anyone who dares to disrupt the proceedings will be removed from the courtroom."
The scene fell silent again.
Zhou Quanbang, however, seemed to be completely in despair. Apart from answering the judge's questions blankly, he did not utter a single word of defense, nor did he weep or apologize.
As expected, Zhou Quanbang was sentenced to death for committing numerous heinous crimes, and with conclusive evidence against him.
When the verdict was announced, countless people in the audience applauded.
Of course, except for a small number of people.
Those are Zhou Quanbang's family!
No matter how bad family members are, they are still blood relatives. Even if they feel that they deserved their fate, they cannot help but feel heartbroken for them.
"Wang Qian, it seems the biggest threat to you has finally been eliminated!"
In the corner, Huang Bo reached out and patted Wang Qian on the shoulder, "From now on, you can focus on your business."
Upon hearing this, Wang Qian was filled with mixed emotions.
Reborn into this world, he originally only wanted to rely on his memories from his previous life to work hard and earn money to create a comfortable living environment for his family.
Especially recently, he even considered bringing his wife and son to live with him in the city.
As a result, due to the threats from Scarface, he was forced to send his wife and children back to their rural hometown after only a few days.
Fortunately, after some twists and turns, he finally helped the police take down Scarface, a social scourge, and brought him to justice.
From then on, he was finally able to bring his wife and children to live in the city.
"By the way, how did you do that?"
Huang Bo lowered his voice and asked, "Those who were your enemies before all ended up in bad end, but Scarface Pao was the local tyrant of Nanming County. How did you manage to make him suffer so much?"
You might be overestimating me!
Wang Qian shook his head and said with a wry smile, "I was just taking advantage of the situation. How could an ordinary person like me, with flesh and blood, have such great abilities?"
"Taking advantage of the situation?"
Huang Bo seemed to understand, but not quite. "What does that mean?"
"Actually, even without my involvement, Scarface would not have escaped the fate of reaping what he sowed. I just took advantage of the storm of the anti-gang campaign to make him receive his due retribution ahead of time."
Not wanting to continue on this topic, Wang Qian quickly changed the subject, saying, "Let's focus on the trial and talk later."
According to his memories from his previous life, Scarface Pao was indeed ultimately sentenced to death.
only,
Not only did an undercover police officer sacrifice his life, but Scarface Pao also went on the run for a period of time before being arrested and brought to justice.
During his escape, Scarface committed several more bloody crimes, causing more innocent people to suffer.
It can be said that his forceful intervention inadvertently prevented Chen Yong, the undercover police officer, from becoming a martyr, and also prevented several bloody incidents from occurring.
However, he couldn't possibly tell Huang Bo these things.
Of course, what he cares about most right now is Qin Nan.
Since Qin Nan has also been captured, if the final verdict is the same as in his previous life, then all the efforts he has made over the past year will have been in vain.
...
With Scarface Pao's verdict finalized, the next to face trial is naturally Zuo Xianglong, the second-in-command of West Street.
Unlike Daoba Pao, Zuo Xianglong seemed unwilling to yield. Faced with the various charges against him, he either argued in court or shifted the blame to Daoba Pao.
After a series of sophistry, he ended up appearing as an innocent victim.
However, the court seemed to have been prepared for this, bringing many witnesses and presenting various pieces of evidence on the spot.
Among them were two people who surprised Zuo Xianglong immensely.
Li Bin and Li Wang!
With the appearance of these two witnesses, Zuo Xianglong could no longer deny the situation.
These two men were his most capable and trusted subordinates, and they knew all about the crimes he had committed.
With these two people as witnesses, no matter how much he tries to argue, it's useless.
What made Zuo Xianglong most desperate was that, in addition to giving oral testimony in court, the two also produced various irrefutable pieces of evidence against him for his crimes.
Faced with irrefutable evidence, he was finally speechless.
The final verdict, like that of Zhou Quanbang, nicknamed "Scarface Cannon," was death.
The next targets of the trial were some key members of Scarface's gang.
However, almost none of them received the death penalty; most faced imprisonment for a few years to twenty years.
As for Li Bin and Li Wang, who testified in court just now, they naturally did not escape the punishment of the law. However, considering that they pulled back from the brink in time and were willing to testify in court, the two were ultimately only sentenced to eight years.
Otherwise, given the crimes they committed, they would face at least twenty years in prison.
Because of the large number of people present, the trial lasted from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
