Three days later, Ji Ling's case was heard in the Supreme People's Court of Bei City.
The court hearing that day was packed with seats, and outside the court there were also various media and people who paid close attention to the matter.
The legal team of Renmin University of China, headed by He Siyuan, presented the shocking evidence they had in front of everyone one by one.
Faced with the irrefutable criminal facts, the lawyer hired by Uncle Ji Ling was speechless in the end and could only break through and try to commute the death penalty.
In exchange for the chance to reduce his death penalty, Uncle Ji Ling finally relented, admitted and stated the criminal facts and experiences of his one-year violation of Ji Ling.
Xia Xingran, who was sitting in the gallery, heard more details about this assault case for the first time. Including every time Ji Ling screamed in pain and continued to resist, he was beaten violently. In order to control Ji Ling, he was even tied with ropes and chains, and whipped like an animal with a whip.
Xia Xingran's hands and feet were cold, her ears were ringing, and her vision became blurry. The lower lip was bitten into the front teeth, and a rusty smell gradually filled the mouth.
Most of the other people in the auditorium also frowned, their expressions changing from shock to pain.
It is hard to imagine that these things that sound painful to us have been the daily life of Ji Ling, who is only 16 years old, for more than a year.
Ji Ying, who was also the defendant, remained expressionless and didn't say a word. No matter how anxious her mother was to have her removed and how her lawyer tried to help her with the story, she never spoke from the beginning to the end. She acquiesced to the accusations made against her by the legal team.
During the entire court hearing, she only glanced at Xia Xingran. There was envy, admiration, and even... gratitude in his eyes?
After a three-hour trial, Ji Ling's uncle was eventually sentenced to life imprisonment and deprived of political rights for life because of his good criminal attitude. He also returned Ji Ling's parents' death compensation and various compensations totaling 3 million yuan. Ji Ying was sentenced to two years in prison and paid 600,000 yuan in death compensation.
This result was obviously unsatisfactory, so as Grandma Ji Ling’s attorney, He Siyuan immediately decided to appeal again. However, the court rejected the case on the grounds that the party lacked the direct cause of death of the defendant and upheld the original verdict. Read the book
This move caused an uproar in the whole court, but there was nothing that could be done. After all, in today's world where humanitarianism prevails, the death penalty is an extremely difficult matter.
But for Ji Ling, who died tragically, this result was still somewhat disappointing.
Emotions ran high in the gallery, filled with indignation. They all asked for the death penalty. After being ordered to be quiet, the judge announced that the trial was over and ended the case.
He Siyuan, who had always been elegant, threw the documents on the table to the ground angrily, unbuttoned his suit, and kept throwing his clothes back. Han Chenluo and his classmates also blushed with anger, and some girls even shed tears.
Xia Xingran walked quickly to Han Chenluo, gently held his hand, and bowed to He Siyuan and his group with red eyes: "Thank you for your hard work. Although it is not the result we most want, it is much better than a prison sentence. "
"Scumbags who have committed such evil crimes and committed such crimes cannot be sentenced to death. Where is the majesty of the law! Then what's the point of me being a lawyer! I almost want to drop out of school!" Xu Yin, as a woman, felt even more sympathetically and was furious. The eyebrows are raised.
"It is precisely because of this. Lawyers need more courage, they need to be unafraid of power, and they need to fight to the end." He Siyuan gradually regained his composure, staring at the solemn national emblem in the court, his eyes burning, and his tone firm: "The dignity of the law requires us to Maintenance. This is the meaning of being a lawyer!"
After he finished speaking, starting with Han Chenluo, all the members of the legal team turned their attention to the national emblem, clenched their right fists at the level of their temples, and spoke neatly and loudly throughout the courtroom:
"I swear to voluntarily dedicate myself to the legal cause, wield the sharp sword of the law, and hold the scale of justice; eliminate evil in the world, abide by the sanctity of political law; accumulate humanistic heritage, and promote the civilization of the rule of law. Strive for the construction of socialism and the progress of mankind lifelong!"
Xia Xingran felt her scalp numb, her blood boiling, and tears welling up in her eyes. She thought about her medical school oath. I just feel that the country is endless from generation to generation.
she
Together with them, as well as countless young people from all walks of life, they will eventually rewrite the inherent history and return the society to a clean sea, and this is the hope and future of the country!
The courtroom suddenly erupted into applause that resounded throughout the sky and seemed to lift the roof off.
Just when Xia Xingran got the verdict and was about to burn it to Ji Ling, Wen Jichuan called and said that Ji Ying hanged herself with a scarf.
The verdict, as light as a feather, slipped from Xia Xingran's hand and hit the ground heavily.
When they arrived at the prison, Ji Ying's parents were holding Ji Ying's body, crying and regretful.
"There are words on the scarf!" Xu Yin, who has sharp eyes, immediately discovered the clue.
Lin Ren immediately took off the scarf around Ji Ying's neck and unfolded it to take a closer look. Ji Ying wrote with blood on her fingertips: "Suddenly, I feel that living is quite boring. I wish there would be no more prejudice and violence in the world."
Xia Xingran buried her head in Han Chenluo's arms and cried bitterly.
Ji Ying and Ji Ling were girls who were supposed to have their own brilliant lives, but they were both lost in their best years due to outdated education methods and social stereotypes.
It’s hard not to sigh, and it’s worth re-examining the education model we’ve been adhering to for several years. Read the book
With the arrival of the first snow in Beijing City, this matter finally settled with the floating snowflakes under the publicity of the media.
Hua Guo began to set up a series of quality education methods that teach students in accordance with their aptitude, encourage students to learn to excel, and call on parents to discover their children's talents and take advantage of them. Add special admissions for students with special talents. No longer will a child be solely evaluated based on his or her scores in cultural classes.
Every school is required to add sex education courses to establish children's awareness of correctly understanding themselves and protecting themselves.
The government is required to pay more attention to and evaluate the physical and mental health of minor children. Discover problems in time, solve them, and strive to nip the signs of malignant incidents in the cradle.
Xia Xingran stretched out her hand out of the window, watching the pieces of snow melting into her palms, and listening to the news played on the hospital TV in a loop, a smile of relief gradually appeared at the corner of her mouth.
Xie Yangnian leaned against the wall next to Xia Xingran and handed a cup of steaming coffee to Xia Xingran.
"You don't want to treat me to a meal, but I have to treat you with a cup of coffee. You were too busy last night and didn't sleep, so cheer up."
Xia Xingran smiled, took it with both hands, lowered his head and took a sip. The unique aroma of coffee mixed with just the right amount of sweetness made her tired from the past few days disappear, and her whole body felt warm and filled with the light of happiness.
Thanks to Xia Xingran's efforts, Xie Yangnian was eventually punished with a one-year suspension of pay, 180,000 yuan in compensation for funeral expenses to his family, and his position as director of emergency surgery was canceled.
"My family's fortune has been emptied, and the director I got is gone, so what can I thank you for?" Xia Xingran joked deliberately.
Xie Yangnianhun said indifferently: "What does this mean? As long as I can continue to be a doctor and save people, and as long as the patients are still willing to trust me and let me treat them, it is not a punishment."
Xia Xingran raised his coffee with a smile, and took the initiative to clink glasses with Xie Yangnian, showing that they were in the same mood.
For doctors like them, treating illnesses and saving lives has been integrated into their bones and blood and has become an instinct. As for the rest, it doesn't matter.
But Yan Yue is different.
After Xie Yangnian lost her qualifications, she exchanged Xia Xingran's thesis for the prince, and successfully became the director of emergency surgery. She was satisfied and prosperous for a while.
"Since Yan Yue became the director of emergency surgery, even a blind person can see that your workload has increased a lot. She also asked you to do many surgeries that obviously did not require you to perform it yourself. I just took a look, and you are the most ***On average, I have to undergo five or six surgeries a day, can I bear it?"
Xia Xingran pursed her lips and smiled, put the coffee on the window sill, stretched, and bent around.
"It's not bad, just think of it as more practice, there's nothing wrong with it. The only trouble is that it becomes more hateful."
Xia Xingran smiled self-deprecatingly, feeling like a mirror. She knew that Yan Yue was deliberately putting pressure on herself, hoping that she would be unable to bear it and go to her, so that she would naturally join her camp.
"although
Having said that, you still need to pay attention to your own body. You have already worked two or three night shifts in a row. "Xie Yangnian was very worried about Xia Xingran's physical condition. .
"Yeah, so I'm not going to do it again. I asked Dean Zhang to rest for two days." Xia Xingran looked at Xie Yangnian and smiled slyly.
Xie Yangnian suddenly realized, and laughed and said, "You really have the power to use Dean Zhang to put pressure on Yan Yue." After a moment, he said with a worried look on his face: "But if you do this, don't you mean you are completely against Yan Yue? Will..."
Xia Xingran looked at the vast whiteness outside, and remembered the line from "A Dream of Red Mansions" "The earth is so clean when it falls in white". He held his chin and said, "I'm alone. What should I be afraid of? The worst thing is, I'll quit again. It's not like I've done this before."
The two knew it well, looked at each other, smiled, and nodded without saying a word.
"The Chinese New Year is next month. Are you going back to City A or celebrating the New Year in Bei City?" Xie Yangnian deliberately invited Xia Xingran to his home to celebrate the New Year.
"Just stay here. My only relative in City A is not here either. Xiao Luo's mother is not here either. There's no point in going back, so why not just stay in Bei City. Besides, Director Yan will definitely put me on duty during the Chinese New Year." Thinking of Chang who was away from home. Xia Xingran still misses Huan and Han Ranchen.
"Then you siblings, come to my house. The more people there are, the more lively it will be, so you two won't be left alone." Xie Yangnian stretched out his hand towards Xia Xingran.
Xia Xingran was stunned. Since her parents passed away, she has spent the Spring Festival alone for five years, and every Spring Festival is the most painful day for her.
"Is it really possible? Isn't it troublesome?" Xia Xingran's nose was red, her eyes were bright, and her tone was cautious.
Xie Yangnian took the initiative to hold Xia Xingran's hand, patted her shoulder and said, "Why bother? I'm very happy that you can come, really!"
A smile suddenly broke out on Xia Xingran's face, which was even more beautiful than the plum blossoms blooming proudly against the snow outside.
The new year has arrived as promised by Xia Xingran. If she had known what would happen this coming New Year's Eve, maybe she wouldn't have thought about this New Year at all.
