At midnight, when Liu Hanyang, huddled in the corner, transferred the last payment to the bank account designated by Weilun through his mobile phone, all his assets had been wiped out.
Within two hours, through the above methods and bank entrustment, he transferred and changed all the funds in his account and the real estate under his name to his attorney, Wei Lun.
This was what they had agreed upon beforehand.
The two of them each get what they need. What Vilan wants is a high legal fee and an additional sky-high remuneration. Needless to say, the former is the cost of hiring Vilan, and the latter is what Vilan promised: through He bribed the person in charge of the prison to take Zhou Yun out of the prison safely and smoothly, and then used his former classmate friendship with René to arrive at the Dark River Company.
Liu Hanyang never expected that Wei Lun was a cunning woman who only collected money but never did anything. The so-called promises had long been forgotten, but he never dreamed that Zhou Yun would be on the same boat with him during this trip and use another person. Arrived at Dark River Company in this way.
The two charges wiped out all of Liu Hanyang's savings and assets.
As long as Zhou Yun can be safe, he has nothing to be reluctant to do. As for Wei Lun's statement of doing his best to defend his case, he has no hope. He understands that the power hidden in the dark is definitely beyond the control of ordinary people. .
He put away his cell phone and leaned against the wall with relief. Now, the only thing he could do was to wait for news from Weilun, which would be the news that Zhou Yun had arrived at Anhe Company safely.
Five minutes later, the sound of noisy footsteps brought him back to reality from his fantasy and longing, and the same scene appeared again.
I saw 7 or 8 prison guards breaking into the cell with a ferocious look. They couldn't help but stir for a while, and finally dug out the hidden mobile phone.
A prison guard with a higher rank looked at Liu Hanyang with a livid face, shook the found mobile phone in his hand, then turned around and reported a few words to his superior in a low voice before shaking his head to another fat prison guard. .
The fat prison guard walked up to Liu Hanyang with a smile, took advantage of him and knocked him unconscious with his baton.
After a while, two doctors and an assistant entered the cell. One of the doctors drew a large tube of blood and a small skin sample from Liu Hanyang's arm and left in a hurry.
Another doctor took out an instrument and glued a wire to Liu Hanyang's head. After carefully examining his injuries, he said that his vital signs were all normal.
The higher-ranking prison guard raised his hand, and the doctor nodded.
The doctor took out a sharp scalpel from his bag. He raised the knife and put it down. Hearing a "squeak" sound, Liu Hanyang's wrist was cut with a long cut, and he suddenly started bleeding profusely.
The assistant quickly took out a piece of arc-shaped glass shard from the bag he carried and stuffed it into the hands of the unconscious Liu Hanyang. Then, together with the doctor, he placed his body in a prone position on his side, and then removed his injured leg. His arms were placed next to the pool of blood on the ground.
After everything was ready, a prison guard took out his camera, took a picture and nodded to the higher-ranking prison guard, who then signaled to the doctor.
The doctor and assistant immediately took out medical supplies such as sterilization equipment and tourniquets. After a skilled wound treatment process, Liu Hanyang's wrist was wrapped with a layer of gauze.
The higher-ranking prison guard looked away from Liu Hanyang. He walked to one side, took out his mobile phone and said in a low voice, "It's done."
"Is the middleman reliable?" A cold voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Absolutely reliable! He was once my subordinate. He left prison because of his mistakes. He is one of our own. Handing him over to the media will create the illusion that it is difficult to prevent and retaliate against domestic thieves, and the media will believe it more."
"Well, that's good! Where's the life science laboratory?"
"The doctor has already drawn blood and taken samples. The results will be available in a few days. There will be no delay, and it will not affect the court session in a month."
"good."
The call was hung up, and the higher-ranking prison guard put away his cell phone, glanced at Liu Hanyang on the ground, and then led everyone out of the cell.
After obtaining the property that Liu Hanyang had accumulated for decades, Wei Lun passed through the black market of Dark River Company.
The transaction successfully laundered the funds.
After that, his life seemed to be cheating. Not only did he buy a valuable sea-view house in a wealthy area near the seaside in Anhe Company, but he also got a good job as he wished.
The wealthy life destroyed his original belief in returning to his hometown. In his eyes, the "return home" movement was just an excuse to seek a luxurious life.
He also "forgot" that he was Liu Hanyang's attorney. He had completely forgotten about the responsibilities of a lawyer and the credibility of a human being, not to mention the fact that Liu Hanyang devoted everything he had to him to rescue Zhou Yun.
A month later, Liu Hanyang's case came to trial with much publicity from the global media. The strange thing is that this case was originally a semi-public case decided by the Earth Federation's special military court. It is not known whether there was a push behind the scenes, but it turned out to be the case. This fate was well known to everyone, and even the people of Tiber began to pay attention to it.
On the day of the trial, the court was surrounded by water. All kinds of media around the world rushed to take advantage of the vantage point to broadcast first-hand case information. Even some self-media were not far behind.
For a time, there were crowds of people, various sounds, and various photographic equipment taking turns, making Liu Hanyang dizzy.
The military police struggled to open a gap in the crowded crowd before finally bringing Liu Hanyang into the court. Only then did he recover from his trance.
Last night, Liu Hanyang stayed up almost all night, and only fell asleep at ten o'clock in the morning. He was not worried about his future. Subconsciously, he had already vaguely felt the goal that the power hidden behind wanted to achieve. That is to put him to death quickly.
Therefore, he had already mentally anticipated today's interrogation.
What he couldn't let go of the most was Zhou Yun's safety. To this day, he still didn't know her situation.
The news that Weilun had promised to use his connections with the prison authorities to help her escape the crime and leave the prison safely had never reached his ears. Weilun also seemed to have disappeared from the world, never showing up in the past month.
All the signs gave him a premonition of something ominous. In the dark, he felt that a bigger storm might be coming towards him...
Today's court session may be the trigger.
Liu Hanyang was brought to the dock by a military captain. In front of him was a presiding judge in a major general's uniform. On his left and right sides were eight jurors in a colonel's uniform. The interrogation standards were also quite high.
These officers come from various military services of the Earth Federation, and half of them are from the Space Military Operations Administration.
Liu Hanyang speculated that the influence of his case may have exceeded the case itself. The outcome of the trial will directly affect the fate of hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers who will return to Earth in 15 years.
Among these many unfamiliar faces, Liu Hanyang found an acquaintance, the interrogator Legg, who stood to his left front and in front of the four juror officers, which was the position of the prosecutor.
Directly opposite Legg is the defense table, where Liu Hanyang's defense lawyer Wei Lun will appear.
But there was no one at the defense table.
Behind Liu Hanyang is the listening seat, which is composed of more than 30 practitioners from all walks of life in the Earth Federation.
The presiding judge looked at his watch and saw that there were only three minutes left before the trial started, but Wei Lun still didn't show up.
The courtroom was eerily quiet, and the sound of slight breathing was like a developing storm, which also seemed to be a preview and prelude to the upcoming verbal battle...
The presiding judge behaved very calmly and calmly, and he quietly waited for the trial to begin.
Three minutes passed in the blink of an eye, and Wei Lun never showed up in court.
The presiding judge asked Liu Hanyang whether to postpone the trial to give him time to hire a lawyer again. Liu Hanyang refused, saying that he could defend himself.
The trial judge adopted his opinion.
The presiding judge then announced the official start of the trial. He stood up and proposed that everyone present at the trial observe a minute's silence for the millions of officers and soldiers who sacrificed their lives in the voyage fleet.
After the moment of silence, the big screen in the court
A video was played. In the video, the three mechas that returned to Earth with Liu Hanyang and Zhou Yun were found guilty. They were ruthlessly pushed into the mecha dismantling center and turned into a pile amidst the roar of the crusher. Metal fragments.
Liu Hanyang smiled sadly, feeling an inexplicable sadness and loss in his heart. He realized that what happened to the three mechas might be a preview of his final fate.
If he is guilty, then the commander of the expedition fleet that returned to Earth fifteen years later, the middle-level officers, and all the officers and soldiers on the starship will also be guilty?
This is crazy and extremely sad!
Even though the voyage fleet failed to live up to the expectations of all mankind and returned without success after spending a huge amount of manpower and material resources, the technological gap, the ever-increasing pressure of the Tiberians, and the oppression of reality also existed objectively. They had no choice but to return and survive. The original intention of human interstellar armed forces should not be a reason for criminalization, but should be respected and understood.
But they ignored all of this, even verbally and verbally, hoping to use the most severe punishment to erase the negative impact of failure.
Maybe this is their logic.
But the consequence of this was that the remaining flames of the voyage fleet that had been saved with so much effort were completely extinguished, and the interstellar voyage that took more than 20 years turned into a wisp of smoke and disappeared forever in the long river of stars.
Not a single spark will fly.
A dazzling light brought Liu Hanyang's thoughts back to the court hearing. He looked up and saw the scene of his first conversation with interrogator Legg in prison appearing on the big screen.
"Your Honor, the defendant Liu Hanyang has never suffered any coercion or abuse during the entire questioning process. I started a dialogue with him on the basis of fully respecting the rights and interests of the defendant. Therefore, the defendant's words have legal effect. I hope The court accepted it," Legg said.
The presiding judge withdrew his eyes from the video, fell on Liu Hanyang, and asked: "Defendant Liu Hanyang, is the prosecutor's statement true?"
"true."
"In the video, the defendant Liu Hanyang personally admitted that he was an important participant and implementer of the entire return flight plan. According to the relevant laws of the Earth Federation Military Department, the defendant was guilty of fleeing in battle and refusing to execute orders!" Legg said loudly.
Suddenly, Liu Hanyang thought of Zhou Yun. If he pleaded guilty so rashly, then his case would become a reference and model for her trial, and then there would be no way to get away with it.
Regardless of whether Zhou Yun escapes from prison or not, a clean and free body is crucial.
He will fight to the end.
