In the next public trial, Changsun will directly face the school committee.
Dean Xia spoke first.
"Changsun, according to Fan Yuantao's statement, you met the surviving family members deep in the No. 1 mine tunnel?"
"yes."
"Did you finally fight against the survivors?"
"yes."
"The survivors are very cruel. How did you escape from the survivors?"
"When we found the deceased, he was already seriously injured. In the end, we both suffered losses."
Changsun's answer was not detailed, but Dean Xia did not continue to press.
Dean Xia stopped talking when he asked this, and then Dean Yun asked: "Changsun, I saw that the investigation data of the legal team showed that you had been to Blazing City two years ago?"
"yes."
"Why?"
"The student planned to go to Blazing City to study and passed by Blazing City to supply supplies."
"Did you get acquainted with Fan Yuantao at that time?"
"No, the students did not know Fan Yuantao before performing the mission."
"Is there anyone who can testify to what you said?"
Before the eldest grandson could speak, Si Qin stood up and said, "Students can vouch for the eldest grandson. Two years ago, when we stopped in Blazing City, the eldest grandson and I had been traveling together and had never met Fan Yuantao."
Dean Yun nodded and sat back in his seat, indicating that he had finished asking.
There was a brief silence in the interrogation hall.
Seeing that the other school committee members had no intention of speaking, Dean Wu shouted: "Okay, eldest grandson, I will ask you a few questions below, and you must answer them truthfully."
"yes."
"Both you and Fan Yuantao claimed that the cause of the accident was the infiltration of survivors and deliberately creating chaos. What was the motive?"
After Dean Wu finished asking, Changsun was silent for a short time, and then he said, "Can the student not answer this question for the time being?"
Dean Wu was startled, with a hint of displeasure on his face.
"Okay, let me ask you again. Fan Yuantao was found dead in his home. All signs indicate that he committed suicide out of fear of crime. In this case, his suspicion cannot be removed. You two keep saying that there are survivors who caused this chaos. But it was your words from beginning to end, and we have not seen any trace of the survivors in Mine No. 1 so far. What evidence do you have to prove that what you said is true?"
No one in the interrogation hall expected that among the several school committee members, it was Dean Wu who would raise these sensitive issues one by one.
Changsun did not choose to remain silent this time. After hesitating for a moment, he took out something from his sleeve.
"This is a spiritual weapon left by the bereaved family. Please review it, Dean."
As soon as Changsun said this, everyone in the hall craned their necks to look at Changsun's outstretched right hand.
The spiritual weapon in Changsun's hand was the sealing formation that sealed the Fire Buddha Heart Lotus.
Dean Wu also shrank his pupils.
In the entire hall, no one hoped that what Changsun and Fan Yuantao said was true more than Dean Wu. But even Dean Wu is not confident about the "survivors" theory.
After all, this is the interior of the continent and the center of the Southern Territory. Besides, although Mine No. 1 is an important resource for the college, it is not the lifeblood of the college, nor is it a scarce resource. The surviving family took such a desperate risk to create chaos here that it makes no sense either emotionally or rationally.
If this statement is overturned, all fingers will be pointed at the dead Fan Yuantao and Changsun. These two people will become the biggest suspects in this accident, and both of them are from Qiziyuan.
Dean Wu waved his right hand, and the spiritual weapon in Changsun's hand flew up on its own and flew towards Dean Wu.
Dean Wu took the spiritual weapon into his hand and examined it. For a master of weapon refining like him, a moment would be enough for him to find out the clues of this spiritual weapon.
Dean Wu handed the spiritual weapon to Dean Yun beside him, and several school committee members examined the spiritual weapon.
After all the school committee members had finished inspecting the spiritual weapon, everyone exchanged looks, and finally Dean Wu said: "This spiritual weapon does need to be driven by evil thoughts to exert its full effect. We still don't know its full function yet. But it can be concluded that this should be a spiritual weapon belonging to a bereaved family."
After Dean Wu finished speaking, he looked at the other school committee members again.
The remaining people did not speak, indicating that they acquiesced in Dean Wu's statement.
As a result, the "survivors" statement stated by Changsun and Fan Yuantao was basically accepted by the school committee.
Elder Lan immediately became anxious when he heard this. Without thinking, he stood up and said, "Fellow school committee members, I am afraid it is inappropriate to assert that there are survivors who are causing trouble based on just a spiritual weapon."
Dean Wu narrowed his eyes and said softly: "What does Elder Lan mean?"
"It's just a spiritual weapon. It...it might have been planted by Changsun or Fan Yuantao..."
Before Elder Lan could finish speaking, Dean Wu interrupted him and said, "You mean that such a spiritual weapon belonging to a bereaved family came from the hands of a student from the Qi Zi Academy? Or was it an executive from the Qi Zi Academy? Hand?"
Elder Lan just woke up from a dream and realized that such speculation would probably involve Shangqiziyuan. After all, Changsun is just a student, and Fan Yuantao is a non-martialist. Neither of them has the ability to forge such a spiritual weapon.
"That's not what I meant... I wanted to say that it's possible that they colluded with the bereaved family, and the bereaved family may have given it to them..."
Elder Lan lost his confidence in the end.
Dean Wu waited until Elder Lan could no longer speak, and then said: "If you were a survivor, would you give such a task to a second-year student? Or do you think that the survivors have penetrated the college to the point of instigating rebellion? to the point? Then look at who else is the enemy and who is the friend in this hall?"
Elder Lan was so frightened by Dean Wu's words that he was sweating profusely. Only then did he truly realize how reckless he had been just now.
As Dean Wu said, the eldest grandson is just a student. Even if he wants to collude with the surviving family members, he may not have such a chance.
As for Fan Yuantao, there were indeed rumors in the college that "Fan Yuantao was the culprit of this accident", but when it comes to the crime of colluding with the surviving family members, even Qingteng cannot afford it.
And now there is finally evidence to prove that the whole thing was caused by the rebellion of the surviving family members, but Elder Lan is still trying to find ways to overturn such evidence, which will inevitably be resisted by the entire school committee and even the entire Ivy League.
"Elder Lan, this is the interrogation hall. As the acting deputy minister of the Ministry of Justice, don't you know the rules and regulations here?! Now is the time for you to raise questions! If students don't understand, don't you, as an elder, understand!" Dean Xia, who had not spoken until now, suddenly scolded him fiercely.
Elder Lan also lowered his head and did not dare to complain.
"Get out!" Dean Xia drove Elder Lan directly out of the hall.
Before Elder Lan left, he dared not speak out in anger. He only dared to look at his eldest grandson fiercely.
When Dean Xia scolded him, he actually wanted to protect Elder Lan. Otherwise, Dean Wu would have many means to punish him.
Dean Wu did not continue to add insult to injury. As things developed now, he had already obtained the result he wanted most.
Although the evidence provided by Changsun can largely prove him and Fan Yuantao, there are still many doubts in it that cannot withstand scrutiny.
Of course Dean Wu understands the principle of keeping a thin line when doing things.
After Elder Lan was driven out of the hall, everyone's attention returned to their grandson again.
Dean Xia looked a little ugly at this time.
"Changsun, I heard that you reached an agreement with Dean Wu when you accepted the commission from Dean Wu?" Abte, the president of the Faziyuan who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke.
As soon as Dean Ai said this, Dean Wu, who had just relaxed, sat up straight again, tilted his head and looked at him, and said, "This matter of Dean Ai should have nothing to do with this public trial."
"Hey, Wu Mangfu, if you want to say it has nothing to do with it, you can't say it has nothing to do with it at all. After all, the eldest grandson suddenly made a request when the college was in crisis, maybe he was taking advantage of others' danger, and who can guarantee whether there is any relationship between the two? "Dean Yun said from the side.
"Girls Yun, why don't you be so weird. The accident has been settled just now, and now you are going over and over again to say what you mean!" Dean Wu was completely furious at this time.
"Who are you talking about?" Dean Yun was furious when he heard this.
"I'm just talking about you, you're neither male nor female!"
"You country man, stop spouting shit here..."
The two were about to escalate their quarrel again, and Prince Tang quickly stopped it.
"Okay! You are all just being role models, how can you behave like this in such a public place?"
The two stopped fighting after hearing this.
Seeing that the two men had lost their previous momentum, Prince Tang said in a gentle tone: "Dean Wu, the matter mentioned by Dean Ai does not have much to do with this public trial, but it is rare for all school committee members to get together and sit down. Let’s discuss this matter together.”
When Dean Wu saw Prince Tang speaking, his expression softened a little, but he still said hesitantly: "Your Majesty, I originally planned to wait for the principal to come back before applying for a school committee meeting to discuss this matter..."
"He has received your letter to the principal, and he understands what you mean. He just wants you to discuss it together, and I will listen on his behalf this time." Prince Tang interrupted.
Dean Wu heard this and had no objection.
Upon seeing this, Prince Tang turned to look at his eldest grandson and said, "eldest grandson, please tell me."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After sorting out his thoughts, Changsun said: "When the students were entrusted by the college, they did reach an agreement with Dean Wu. The students hope that Wanyuan Trading Bank can participate in the future mining of Mine No. 1."
"What's the relationship between Wanyuan Trading Company and you?"
"The student is half the boss of Wanyuan Trading Company."
As soon as the eldest grandson said this, everyone immediately exploded.
On the one hand, I was amazed that there was a trading company behind Changsun's young age. On the other hand, I was shocked by Changsun's ambition and wanted to get involved in Mine No. 1.
There were a lot of discussions below, but the school committee above fell into silence.
"Do you know how bold your idea is?" Prince Tang had already known about this in advance in his correspondence with the principal, but now he couldn't help but be surprised when he heard the eldest grandson's confirmation.
At this time, the eldest grandson was still calm and undisturbed by the various discussions below and the silence on the high seat.
"Students understand, but students believe that the situation in Mine No. 1 at this time makes cooperation with Wanyuan Commercial Bank the best choice."
The eldest grandson's words once again caused shock. Even Lu Xiaoran and others felt that the eldest grandson was a little too self-righteous at this time.
Director Luan still had a smile on his face and said unhurriedly: "Changsun, tell me what is the current situation in Mine No. 1?"
"On our way to the rescue, we have discovered that more than one force is around Mine No. 1. Although the college blocked the information in time, such a big accident happened in Mine No. 1. It is unrealistic to try to wrap up the fire with paper."
"What you said makes sense, but the college had no intention of concealing the accident when it first occurred. After the college investigates the cause, it will definitely provide an explanation to the outside world."
"Before this, any problems that occurred in Mine No. 1 were a family matter of the college. After the college announces the cause of the accident, the college may not be able to maintain absolute control over Mine No. 1."
After the eldest grandson finished speaking, there was a brief silence among the school committee members.
"The college has already discussed what you said, Changsun, and has made mental preparations for it. But these have nothing to do with you and Wanyuan Trading Company."
After Dean Luan finished speaking, it was Changsun's turn to be silent.
Seeing Changsun's silence, Dean Luan then said, "Or let me put it another way, how can you and Wanyuan Commercial Bank convince us that you are qualified to reach this agreement with the college?"
Dean Luan's words once again caused shock.
This meant that the school committee made a concession and began to consider whether Changsun and the others were qualified to cooperate with the college.
The eldest grandson also raised his head, hope again in his eyes.
"I think the college has a clear grasp of Wanyuan Trading Bank's scale, financial resources, and recent sales performance. Then I won't beat around the bush. I think Wanyuan Trading Bank is qualified not only because of the above, but also because of the above. It’s also because I am not the only partner in Wanyuan Trading Company.”
"You mean the one named Wanwanqian?"
Changsun did not speak, but turned to look behind him.
At this time, Lu Xiaoran, Siqin, Tang Yuyan and others stood up one after another.
"This guy is not talented, and he is also one of the partners of Wanyuan Trading Company." Lu Xiaoran still looked cynical.
But no one would doubt the weight of what Lu Xiaoran said, because behind him was the famous Luliang Trading Company.
Everyone glanced at the young and young girls with energetic faces. These people were still young in appearance, but the forces behind them were all giants.
