The First Trial Hall of the Control Yuan.
Three rows of stepped hearing seats are arranged in an orderly manner, guarding the prosecutor's seat at the front of the trial hall.
Between the hearing box and the prosecutor's box are the defendant's box and the plaintiff's box. One on the right and one on the left.
Wang Chen went to the seat on the left and stood up.
Opposite him was Jiang Qingen, deputy director of the Public Security Bureau.
Jiang Qingen is a middle-aged man who is nearly fifty years old. He has a bloated body and few hairs on his head. He already looks like a local supporting the central government.
The hearing people have entered the hearing room one by one. Almost all of the people sitting in one row are students. They are representatives from every high school in Luzhou.
At this moment, they were looking at Wang Chen with ardent eyes, and some students even raised their arms as a sign of encouragement.
Long Wushuang and Tang Ruotong were sitting among them, giving Wang Chen a kind of support without words, just with their eyes.
Wang Chen smiled and nodded at them and looked at the defendant's seat directly opposite.
The lawsuit hasn't officially started yet, but Jiang Qingen's forehead has become wet with sweat, and the few hair strands are stuck together.
There was no energy in his eyes, there were dry white crusts on his lips, and he looked resigned to his fate.
Noticing his state, Wang Chen frowned slightly.
Obviously, this guy was finally pushed out to carry the thunder.
The man who gave up his car to protect the commander even gave up the deputy director, so he was willing to spend money.
But Wang Chen felt a little unwilling.
It seems that there is still a long way to go to clear up the serious illness in Luzhou.
…
Suddenly, two people walked in from the passage beside the hearing room.
Their arrival caused a small commotion.
"Is that person Lu Han?"
"It shouldn't be wrong, I've seen him on TV!"
"The one next to her looks like his sister?"
"..."
The visitors were none other than the Lu brothers and sisters.
Long Wushuang was attracted by the commotion and turned his head to look.
He frowned, "Why is Lu Shiyu here?"
Tang Ruotong heard his whisper and turned to look.
She guessed: "Are you here to cheer Wang Chen up?"
Long Wushuang's brows still didn't open, "Come on? Chenzi isn't playing basketball, and he doesn't need a cheerleading team."
Tang Ruotong was a little confused when he heard his tone, "Why don't you and Wang Chen seem to like Lu Shiyu very much? She is obviously a girl with a good personality and she is so beautiful."
When she was confronting Cai Kun before, Lu Shiyu helped her and he had a good impression of her.
After Long Wushuang looked at her, he turned around and clasped his hands on his chest, "Because she has no brain."
"Ah?" Tang Ruotong's eyes flashed with confusion.
Long Wushuang's tone was cold, "I almost learned about Chenzi and her on the public channel yesterday."
"I don't understand why she would invite Chenzi to form a team in public."
"Are there no other opportunities? Or can we say no in private?"
"She had to turn into a savior to help Wang Chen when he awakened the life shaman profession and was despised by everyone."
Tang Ruotong frowned and said, "Doesn't this just mean that Lu Shiyu really likes Wang Chen? Even if his awakening profession is not good, he is still willing to team up with him."
"As for why I didn't invite you privately, maybe I just didn't think too much about it."
Long Wushuang sneered: "That's why I said she has no brains. She may think she is helping Chenzi, but doing so is equivalent to putting him on the fire and making him the target of public criticism."
"If it weren't for Chenzi's luck, she might have lost to Lu Han and Cai Kun in the gambling game. Has she ever thought about this?"
Tang Ruotong said: "But didn't the gambling happen later? No one can count it."
"You can't blame her, can you?"
Long Wushuang looked at Tang Ruotong and sighed: "Teacher Xiao Tang, sometimes I really envy your simplicity."
In Tang Ruotong's puzzled eyes, he continued: "Lu Shiyu is Lu Han's biological sister. After spending more than ten years together, doesn't she know what kind of virtue her brother has?"
"She likes Chenzi, but she can't even figure out Chenzi's character. Will he accept this kind of help that obviously looks like charity to him?"
"Whether it's in the form of a bet or not, Lu Han is determined to cause trouble for Chenzi. This is a conclusion that can be easily drawn."
Listening to Long Wushuang's words, Tang Ruotong's mouth opened slightly, looking a little stunned. It seemed like she had never thought of it that way before.
Long Wushuang sighed helplessly when he saw this, "My brother is so miserable. He is always liked by rich ladies."
"A rich lady always thinks that if she likes someone, that is the best thing for that person, and she doesn't care about other things."
"But never thought about how much trouble her liking would bring to this poor boy. After all, being stupid in love can kill people."
Tang Ruotong asked curiously: "Has Wang Chen ever been liked by other rich ladies?"
"That's simply too much. When he was in junior high school, he suffered many disasters due to similar reasons." Long Wushuang said, "The two of us fought with many people because of this."
"So that's it..." Tang Ruotong murmured.
She had mixed feelings in her heart, and she had a deeper understanding of the relationship between Wang Chen and Long Wushuang.
The two of them became good friends not only because they met early. The more reason is that Long Wushuang is very understanding and considerate of Wang Chen, and can also put himself in his shoes.
Tang Ruotong felt more and more that he was far behind.
…
As the prosecutor took his seat, the trial officially began.
The gray-haired old inspector asked slowly: "Plaintiff Wang Chen, you are suing the Luzhou Public Security Bureau for multiple violations of regulations during the course of duty, right?"
His voice was amplified several times in the specially structured trial hall, as if he was singing bel canto.
As a result, the old voice became more majestic, making people feel nervous.
However, there was nothing unusual about Wang Chen. He nodded naturally, "Yes."
"Is there any evidence?" the inspector asked.
"No, but there are 209 witnesses." Wang Chen said, "As well as the lawsuit and blood letter signed by them."
"Well, the complaint and the blood letter have been accepted by this court." The prosecutor adjusted his glasses, "But you have too many witnesses and this court cannot summon them one by one, so I specially ask you to choose five representatives."
"Have you made your choice?"
Wang Chen nodded, "Once you have chosen, you can summon them to court at any time."
"Okay." The prosecutor looked at Jiang Qingen, "Does the defendant have any objections?"
When Jiang Qingen heard his name being called, his whole body trembled, and he quickly said: "No, Mr. Inspector."
"Then the witness will come to court." The prosecutor looked at the court guard standing aside.
The latter turned around, opened the wooden door, and introduced the witnesses who had been waiting outside into the court.
They took the witness stand in front of the supervisory table.
"What cases have you encountered where there were problems with duty procedures?" the inspector asked.
The five witnesses answered one by one according to Wang Chen's arrangement.
