Chapter 394 The First Female Hero
Although Lin Youqian's aura had been restrained a lot, Ma Pei still couldn't help but bend down when talking to him.
"Major General Lin, are you here to supervise the court?"
Lin Youqian raised his eyes slightly, glanced at the person in the main seat, and replied coldly.
"What court are you supervising? I'm one of the parties involved and am just appearing in court normally."
"Comrade Judge, what is the progress of the case? Please continue."
When Lin Youqian came in, he clearly heard the word "adjournment" and asked this deliberately.
Ma Pei spoke truthfully. "The plaintiff has requested a recess, saying he's unwell and has yet to gather new evidence."
"oh?"
A murderous sneer appeared at the corner of Lin Youqian's mouth.
"Hua Baishan, are you sure you want to adjourn the court? I suggest you think it over before answering."
"General, I am busy with military duties and do not have the time to play tricks on you. If you wish to adjourn the court, I agree."
"However, I can request that the next court hearing be held in a military court. Are you sure you want to come to the military to sue me? Do you know what the consequences of losing are?"
"If you're involved in a crime, the place you'll be sentenced to is a military prison. Don't worry, the military is the most fair and just place, and we won't make things difficult for you."
Lin Youqian's words were a naked threat, which shocked Hua Baishan so much that he didn't dare to say a word.
If the case goes to a military court, outside judges have no right to intervene. Given his status, shouldn't he have the final say?
At that time, as long as the Hua family goes in, they will probably have no chance to come out.
Under Lin Youqian's blatant intimidation, Hua Baishan tremblingly changed his words.
"Since Major General Lin is busy with his duties, let's continue. I just have high blood pressure. I'll be fine after taking two pills."
Hua Baishan drank three glasses of water in a row, but still couldn't suppress his inner panic.
Ma Pei continued with the last undecided case.
"Plaintiff, the video you provided is invalid evidence. Do you have any other evidence to submit? You still have one chance to defend yourself."
Hua Baishan wiped the sweat from his forehead and signaled Hua Changqing to bring in another witness.
The person who came in was a young civil servant, or to be more precise, a junior assistant under Xu Hong.
He was Xu Hong's rival, and was deliberately sent to the Hua family as a witness in order to use the Hua family's power to bring Xu Hong down from his high position.
The young man looked at Lin Youqian timidly and handed the information in his hand to the judge.
Say it in a low voice.
"Over the past year, Xu Hong has repeatedly abused his authority, using the internal system's Skynet to track down and investigate irrelevant personnel outside of his job responsibilities. This is evidence. Please review it."
In the past, Xu Hong had communicated with the Lin family and revealed economic policy information through coded language, leaving no evidence behind. Therefore, even if the matter was exposed, there would be no concrete evidence to prove it.
Because he had no involvement in the bidding and approval process. The Lin family had won the bid based on their solid strength.
Ma Pei took a look at the evidence, frowned, and didn't know how to start.
The seal and signature above are from a vice-ministerial official, involving a full minister, and there is also a major general sitting in court.
The case involved someone with too much background, which made him feel extremely embarrassed. But with the solid evidence in front of him, he couldn't turn a blind eye.
"The above evidence is true. Minister Xu did violate regulations. However, today's court hearing is about the Hua and Lin families, which has nothing to do with Minister Xu. Therefore, this judge cannot render a verdict."
"Anyone who wishes to accuse Minister Xu should submit a lawsuit to the court. After the court hears the case, a separate hearing will be held."
This is the most effective solution Ma Pei can think of, and it does not offend anyone.
Even if Xu Hong really committed a crime, it should be handled by the higher authorities, not by a small judge like him.
But Lin Youqian was holding a piece of letter and speaking slowly.
"Minister Xu did exploit his position and mobilize the internal Skynet to find someone for me. However, the person he was looking for was my wife, Qi Xu."
"I sent a letter to Minister Xu on behalf of the military regarding this matter. Because the matter was urgent and involved the military, it was inconvenient to disclose it publicly, so the higher-ups omitted the relevant procedures. Unexpectedly, a villain took advantage of this loophole and used it as an opportunity to cause trouble."
"Today, since someone has brought this up, in order to restore the truth of the matter, I am here to publicly explain and prove Minister Xu's innocence."
Then, Lin Youqian stood up suddenly, staring at the young plainclothes officer with a murderous look in his eyes.
"Six months ago, my wife was kidnapped by criminals who wanted to use her as a bargaining chip to force me to surrender and betray my country and the army. But my wife would rather die than surrender and chose to jump off a cliff to escape."
"Thankfully, she survived. Furthermore, we discovered a biological and chemical weapons base in a valley in enemy territory, less than three kilometers from our border."
"And promptly reported it to the border troops, who eradicated that scourge."
"This incident caused an international sensation six months ago and was reported by all major domestic news outlets. My wife is that unsung hero."
"I don't need to explain how dangerous bacterial and biological weapons are. Everyone understands."
"How many people know that my wife has made such great contributions to the motherland and the people?"
"The warrior's fate is uncertain, and the troops are asking Minister Xu to use Skynet to locate her. What's wrong with that? Who dares to accuse Minister Xu of abusing his authority and violating regulations?"
"You're just a small assistant. Who gave you the authority and courage to print out such confidential internal information and make it public? Do you know what it means to slander your superiors and frame a high-ranking official?"
"Where are the police? Take this criminal who leaked state secrets away, convict him according to the law, and detain him according to the law."
Immediately afterwards, Lin Youqian handed the letter of commendation signed by the Commander of the Central Military Commission to Ma Pei and asked him to read it in public.
The commendation was written by Old Man Li himself, and every sentence was a high praise for Qi Xu's bravery, fearlessness, loyalty and patriotism.
The focus was on praising his fearless spirit in risking his life to pass on information to the army after discovering the enemy's biological and chemical weapons base, highlighting his significant contribution to the motherland and the people.
The last sentence.
After research and decision by the Central Military Commission, Comrade Qi Xu was commended and awarded the honorary title of "National No. 1 Female Hero".
After Ma Pei finished reading the letter, thunderous applause broke out from the audience, with waves of cheers rising higher than the last.
Six honor guard soldiers, holding golden medals, came in front of Qi Xu, and all the soldiers saluted her.
Lin Youqian held up the five stars, put them on her personally, and then saluted her with a standard military salute.
"First female hero, you've worked hard!"
Qi Xu didn't know how to answer for a moment, and suddenly thought of the scene of the leader reviewing the troops on TV, and said something stupidly.
"Comrades, thank you for your hard work!"
