During Anyou's confinement period, although she was not very good at being a new mother, she was fortunately taken care of by her mother and husband, so everything went smoothly.
A few days later, the judgment that had made Qi Yu's eyes green with anticipation finally came!
The police staff these days are not just sitting there doing nothing. They took the two truck drivers to Yunnan Province and tried to find the source based on their descriptions.
Under the inducement of lenient sentence for confessing, the two drivers cooperated very well, and with the help of the Yunnan Provincial Police, they arrested a chain of nearly forty people in one fell swoop!
This is a great achievement!
When they came back, the police officers were happy, but also sad.
I am happy that I can get a promotion and a raise for my achievements, but I am sad that so much opium has ruined so many families.
After a few days of bumpy journey, they came back and urgently discussed how to handle the case.
After reaching an agreement with the court, they posted the court dates for the criminal case.
Qi Yu came to see the court every day, and finally tears filled her eyes when she saw the court opening time.
Three days later, she waited!
The waiting time was particularly long. Qi Yu counted the days on his fingers until that day came. He took a ox cart to the county town early in the morning.
After entering the court, she breathed a sigh of relief and patted her cheeks with both hands.
By the time the court opened at nine in the morning, more than half the people had gathered in the courtroom.
There were usually not many people at previous court sessions, but this time, with more than half the seats filled, it was considered a very large number of people.
They mainly wanted to know what happened to Old Wang.
This is the only time in the county town that someone selling cigarettes has been sentenced in all these years. You must come and take a look.
There was some suspense about this matter, and various excuses were used to justify the offense, but it became an ironclad fact because the police officers went to Yunnan Province.
"Two drivers were sentenced to death for selling and enticing people to smoke cigarettes. However, because they made meritorious contributions while serving their sentences, their sentences were commuted to 20 years' imprisonment.
Wang maliciously made Qi addicted to smoking and knowingly broke the law, and was sentenced to 16 years in prison.
Qi was unknowingly given a cigarette by Wang, which is understandable, but after knowing the truth, he continued to smoke in collusion with Wang and was sentenced to ten years in prison!
The judge's face was serious and he made the final decision.
The two truck drivers were overjoyed. They were glad that they listened to the police's painstaking persuasion, otherwise they would have been left with nothing!
Although twenty years is a long time and they were nearly fifty years old when they came out, at least they are still alive.
These two people don’t know that if they actively work and reform in prison, receive various ideological education, and behave well, their sentences may be reduced or exempted.
But I am already very satisfied now. As long as I am not dead, there are endless possibilities.
The truck driver quieted down, but Old Wang and Old Man Qi were particularly opposed to it.
They refused to accept the verdict and claimed that they were victims who were implicated by the truck driver. Why should the truck driver, the culprit, be given a lighter sentence while the two of them had to serve more than ten years?
Old Wang was particularly furious: "I didn't buy it! They're the ones who got me infected. Why should they get a reduced sentence while you're protecting him?"
The judge sitting at the top looked at the spokesperson with a calm expression: "You caused Qi to become addicted to smoking and attempted to traffic women through marriage. Your crime of conspiracy has been aggravated!"
Old Wang swore to himself, "It was Old Man Qi who got addicted to smoking who smoked my cigarettes. What can I do if he wants to smoke? Kidnapping is impossible. Qi Yu is my legitimate wife!"
He still wants to hide the truth.
Sorry, the two truck drivers not only confessed to the cigarette incident, but also confessed to the trafficking of women.
First, their mouths were pried open and they told about the cigarettes. Since they had mentioned this deadly thing, in order to reduce their sentences as much as possible, they naturally told Lao Wang's plan as well.
To be honest, the police officers wanted to applaud Old Wang. His train of thought was great, killing three birds with one stone!
Old Wang got his wife's dowry and the money from selling her body, Old Man Qi got Qi Yu's job, and the truck driver got a commission. He really got every benefit.
The judge maintained a fair and impartial expression, but the disgust in his eyes was clear: "Don't quibble. The evidence is there. Do you think it's perfect?"
With Qi Yu causing a scene at the scene of collecting supplies first and the truck driver actively trying to reduce his sentence later, Old Wang's little tricks were immediately exposed.
Old Wang's eyes flashed, and he wanted to say something else, but Qi Yu interrupted him.
Her eyes were gleaming, looking at Old Man Qi and Old Wang like they were enemies. "Your Honor, Old Wang concealed his history of smoking before marriage and even sold cigarettes. This is a serious misconduct. I am applying to annul my marriage!"
The judge was surprised that this young woman actually understood the law. He was stunned for a moment, then calmly said, "The defendant can file a civil lawsuit after this case is concluded."
He looked at Qi Yu with admiration.
Some people with poor brains think that Qi Yu's reporting of her husband and father is a heinous crime, but in the eyes of most people, it is a commendable act of courage and a sacrifice of one's own family for the sake of justice.
Everyone present agreed with Qi Yu's approach, saying it was a good job.
What about Old Wang and Old Man Qi’s thoughts?
That doesn't matter.
In the end, the original verdict announced by the judge was upheld. Old Wang appealed, but that is a story for later.
I believe that the judge of the second instance will also be able to see clearly and take good care of this old guy.
Old Wang was unwilling to accept this and filed an appeal.
Unfortunately, the judge in the second instance had a family member who died while trying to stop the crackdown on opium. The judge looked through all the regulations and added a year to his sentence...
Spend sixteen and get one free. I don’t know if Old Wang is satisfied or not, but Qi Yu and everyone else are quite satisfied.
