"...."
Looking at Ni Menglin who was sitting there with a pale face and empty eyes.
In Meng Liang's heart, there was an uncontrollable ecstasy that made him want to dance.
If you don't still maintain the most basic reason in your heart.
He even wanted to have a strong supporter on the spot and yell at Ni Menglin, the culprit who had put him in a desperate situation...
What the hell are you doing today?
And beside Meng Liang.
Sitting in another witness seat, Wang Yujie, who always had a numb expression on her face, quietly shed two lines of tears.
She has been waiting for this day for too long...
Regardless of the entire 4.23 incident, Wang Yujie's response was only to be transferred from her post, and it seemed that she just changed her working environment.
However in reality.
Although her experience was not as miserable as Meng Liang's, it was equally desperate.
At that time, Wang Yujie had just graduated from graduate school and had to work hard to obtain the qualification to teach at the school.
To know.
It is different from other schools’ detention rules.
Wang Yujie and Meng Liang's university is the top media school in the country. It is very strict about staying in school after graduation. The difficulty is even much higher than the public examination.
In general.
Unless you have a Ph.D. who has returned from an overseas institution of higher learning, you may get the opportunity to stay at the school to teach.
Wang Yujie has no background and no "back door". She was able to get this opportunity with a master's degree, which shows how difficult it is.
Follow normal development.
Wang Yujie only needs to be an intern for two to three years before she can successfully become a full-time employee and have a formal administrative position.
At that time, she can choose to coach, or she can concentrate on being a counselor, or she can go to an organization outside the school and be affiliated with an organization. There are simply too many options to choose from.
In a sense.
At that time, Wang Yujie's future was brighter than that of Meng Liang - after all, Meng Liang was only a sophomore at that time.
However, with the outbreak of the 4.23 incident, everything changed.
The school's Weibo account went viral, and the school held an emergency management meeting under pressure.
In the end, Meng Liang and Wang Yujie were dealt with.
But even so.
At that time, the group of marketing accounts headed by Ding Xiaxia still did not give up:
In order to make the incident seem more 'reasonable', they even accused Wang Yujie of having a dirty relationship with Meng Liang in private - in order to curry favor with Meng Liang's non-existent official "father".
At the same time, Wang Yujie's comprehensive test score, which was number one in the grade, was changed to the bottom, in order to claim that she had been promoted to the leader while studying in order to get a higher position.
Under the impact of these rumors, Wang Yujie’s parents in Haidai Province were also affected:
Wang Yujie's parents are both ordinary high school teachers. After the incident broke out, they received a lot of overt and covert criticism.
Moreover, Hai Dai Province is different from other places. It is one of the provinces with the highest pursuit of institutions in the country and is also quite traditional in many aspects of thinking.
Under the guidance of colleagues, Wang Yujie's parents were finally forced to withdraw because they couldn't stand the supercilious look.
Now nearly five years have passed.
At that time, Wang Yujie, who was considered a beauty in a profession like the media where many beauties gathered, had become physically and mentally haggard under the torture of pressure:
His complexion was sallow, like that of a vegetable farmer who had been working in the fields for a long time, and his long, straight black hair had become withered and messy. He was completely different from his former self.
But luckily...
She finally waited for the day when justice appeared - although justice was delayed for a long, long time.
While Wang Yujie was crying silently.
He Qiong on the stage slapped the wall again and asked Wang Yujie:
"Witness Wang Yujie, where did you get this surveillance?"
Wang Yujie raised her head and glanced at her, quickly wiped away her tears with her fingers, and replied quickly:
"Presiding Judge, I was the assistant administrator of the library when April 23 happened. The school's opinion came down one day...oh no, it came down in the morning two days later."
"Before the processing opinions were communicated, I had the key to the monitoring room in my hand, so I was careful and saved the monitoring first."
He Qiong asked again:
"So you will keep this for five years?"
"That's right."
He Qiong couldn't help but frowned:
"Since you had this surveillance, why didn't you seek help from the school at that time?"
"Seeking help from the school?"
Wang Yujie snorted coldly, and the corner of her mouth suddenly raised a hint of ridicule:
"President, I approached my leadership the day after the incident broke out, hoping to obtain surveillance to prove my innocence and Xiao Meng's - in fact, the direct leaders of the library and Meng Liang's dean at the time agreed to this approach. of."
"However, this request was quickly rejected by a certain school leader after it was put forward. The reason was that the pressure of public opinion was too great and the rumor refutation was not handled in accordance with the 'public opinion'."
"Then the next morning, I saw Xiao Meng's and my opinions on how to deal with it. One dropped out of school and the other was transferred to another job."
As soon as Wang Yujie said this.
For the first time, there was low-pitched discussion.
"Please be quiet in the auditorium!"
He Qiong slapped the wood in time, and after controlling the field, he said to Wang Yujie:
"Then why didn't you seek help from the media afterwards or refute the rumors yourself?"
Wang Yujie glanced at her and said concisely:
"Tried, but failed."
"..."
He Qiong was silent for a few seconds:
"Very well, thank you for your statement."
What Wang Yujie wants to say is actually very straightforward - the school is in trouble and no one dares to take her "order".
After all, after the school officially announced its handling opinions, the final tone of the entire incident has been set:
Sacrifice Wang Yujie and Meng Liangping's "public anger", and then control the comments to reduce the popularity.
These days, an ordinary vocational high school can handle emergencies, let alone the 211 school in the capital where Wang Yujie and Meng Liang study.
No one would be willing to make a comeback for two dead people at that point in time - unless it was the head media.
Unfortunately.
A certain media that was willing to scold netizens because Ji Ni was too beautiful did not choose to speak out for Wang Yujie and Meng Liang at that time.
Maybe I was too busy to see it...
Well, it must be.
Of course.
These are unspoken rules that can only be understood but cannot be expressed.
If Wang Yujie continues to talk in depth at this time, it is likely to involve something beyond the 4.23 incident.
It's not that these things are really too sensitive to say, but it's meaningless to say them in this trial - the main people surrounding the trial are Ding Xiaxia and Ni Menglin, and at most the school leader who made the decision at the time.
People who dig deeper have basically nothing to do with this matter. For example, the president of the university was attending a conference abroad at the time, and it is easy to cause trouble if it is brought up.
This principle also applies to domestic...or all domestic and foreign universities.
For example, a very representative example is the incident of Haruko Obokata of Kyoto University, and the suicide of Yoshiki Sasai is now very controversial.
By the way.
Although Neon official media did not dare to say much about the Obokata Haruko incident, it was later turned into a short movie.
The starring role is still played by Nishino Sho, who is also the one that Xu Yun's good friend Golden Jasmine likes very much [Beauty Researcher Pseudo りにdropちて]...
Ahem...
Back to business.
It is precisely because of the above reasons.
Although Wang Yujie was extremely angry inside, she still maintained her basic rationality and objectivity.
Therefore, in terms of specific reasons, she chose to brush it off.
After all, several college leaders actually agreed to refute the rumors. Unfortunately, most of them were leaders of polytechnics, and science and engineering did not account for a large proportion in Meng Liang's school.
In addition, the leader with the final decision-making power finally chose another plan, pushing Wang Yujie and Meng Liang into the abyss at the same time.
all in all.
Anyway, as long as this surveillance evidence is not forged, why Wang Yujie has been preserved until now is just a minor character issue.
at the same time.
At this point, Ni Menglin has no chance of making a comeback.
Actually.
What Ni Menglin said before is correct - she had no interaction with foreign forces in the whole matter.
Therefore, although her sentence will most likely exceed three years, it means she will definitely be given a harsher sentence.
But strict sentences are not arbitrary sentences after all, and laws and regulations must still be respected.
If nothing unexpected happens.
In her case, she was basically punished for several crimes, and a sentence of four to five years was enough.
As a result, Ni Menglin and her family were unwilling to pay this price and wanted to play tricks with the Supreme Court, which eventually led to such a joke.
This is just great.
Ni Menglin's sentence was still served, but she still made such a big fool of herself in front of the national audience. The blow to her personal image was even worse than the sentence.
I can only say that he deserves it...
Then Ni Menglin, whose mentality suffered a serious blow, became silent and wanted to pretend to be dead.
But after all, she is just a little girl who has just graduated a year ago, and her social experience and mental endurance are not very strong.
After several hints like "If you plead guilty, you might get a lighter sentence", He Qiong finally admitted his crime.
At the same time as Ni Menglin confessed.
In the gallery.
Meng Dongguo couldn't help but take out his mobile phone. Regardless of the risk of violating the court hearing requirements, he took a photo in the vestibule and posted it to his circle of friends:
[After 1167 days, my innocence was finally cleared. Did you see that the country said my son was innocent!
!
Innocent!
!
! 】
After the news is posted.
Meng Dongguo wanted to return to the mobile phone desktop, but there was no response no matter how he pressed the return button.
Then he discovered...
As I type this, my phone screen is already filled with tears...
...........
After the trial of the 4.23 Eucalyptus case ended.
Ni Menglin, Ding Xiaxia, Huang Long and other criminal suspects were all taken away from the scene.
The two witnesses, Meng Liang and Wang Yujie, continued to stay at the scene to observe in accordance with the court trial regulations.
Then quickly.
Another group of defendants and witnesses were brought into the trial court.
But unlike Meng Liang and Wang Yujie.
The witness present this time was an 80-year-old man who walked tremblingly and held a photo frame on his chest.
The person in the photo frame is a girl who looks to be in her early twenties. She is not very beautiful, but she has a bright smile.
However, in stark contrast to this youthful atmosphere, is the dull black and white tone in the photo frame.
That's right.
This is a picture...
Posthumous photo.
After the old man is seated.
Chen Ling stood up again and began to state the situation.
This time.
Her fingers holding the file were a lot harder:
"On July 22, 2022, the victim Zheng Ping went to visit her grandfather in front of the hospital bed after receiving medical treatment, took a photo in front of the hospital bed, and posted it on the Weibo platform."
"On July 26, 2022, a Douyin marketing account named 'stella senior' stole Zheng Ping's pictures and pretended to be Zheng Ping herself to promote unrelated courses."
"On July 29, Zheng Ping sought a lawyer to protect her rights, but because her hair was dyed pink, she encountered a large number of online violence initiated by netizens led by the 'small lobster' and the 'King of Hangzhou Whistleblower'."
"In January 2023, Zheng Ping's depression relapsed because she couldn't bear the tens of thousands of online explosive content every day, and she chose to go to extremes..."
Listen to Chen Ling's story.
In the gallery.
Although this incident had nothing to do with him, Xu Yun's face was still extremely heavy at the moment.
The third case being heard today...or the second derivative case.
It is also a well-known case of Internet explosion.
The victim in this case is named Zheng Ping. Her mother died when she was 6 months old.
She grew up in a single-parent family, living with her father and grandfather.
Although there were some difficulties growing up, she was optimistic and lively and studied very hard. She was successfully admitted to Zhejiang Normal University and wanted to become a music teacher.
Before graduation.
Zheng Ping decided to dye her hair pink so that she would be more lively and beautiful when taking graduation photos wearing a dark bachelor's robe - this was the idea she posted on her WeChat Moments.
Then in 2021.
Zheng Ping passed the teaching qualification exam and went to primary school to work as a trainee teacher for a period of time.
And successfully guaranteed research in 2022.
At that time, her grandfather was hospitalized for a long time due to cerebral infarction, myocardial infarction and late-stage intestinal cancer, so Zheng Ping visited the old man before the start of school.
The two took a group photo in front of the bed, and Zheng Ping also posted a message to share the joy.
The result was unexpected.
It’s such a touching blog post, but it attracted a swarm of “flies”:
At first, photos of her and her grandfather were used by a large group of marketing accounts selling online courses. Those people even pretended to be her to defraud others of their money.
After learning that someone had been deceived, Zheng Ping immediately chose to defend her rights.
But the fermentation of this incident only earned her more abuse and insults.
Some people looked at pictures and talked about her, and wrote articles to spread rumors about her relationship with her grandfather, saying that she was "kept" just by looking at her hairstyle.
Some people say that the pink hair looks like a bartender, and it is impossible to study in a normal school, let alone be admitted to graduate school.
Some people opened the map and said that she was just a normal student studying music, not a serious major, and said that Zheng Ping's efforts and love were worthless.
In the end, Zheng Ping suffered from severe depression and tried hard to treat it for several months, but finally chose to commit suicide... (Zheng Ping's prototype grandfather has passed away. Here I created a second wound to prevent the old man from passing away. I hope that in the future Let the elderly get some trivial comfort from the work)
This time.
Zheng Ping's suicide was also selected into the derivative cases of Internet violence and was tried as the second example.
There were nine defendants present this time, six men and three women.
They are:
The first ones to steal Zheng Ping's portrait to sell lessons were 'Stella Senior Sister' (big name Ruihan is on the way), 'Tianrui Education Teacher Guo', and 'Postgraduate Entrance Examination Questions Collection'.
As well as the "Small Lobster" and "Hangcheng Whistleblower King" who subsequently went viral on the Internet.
Among them, the 'Hangcheng Whistleblower King' is a man in his 40s who runs a convenience store. He was the first person to spread rumors that Zheng Ping and her grandfather were an 'old husband and young wife'.
Then in front of mountains of irrefutable evidence.
Nine people admitted their crimes.
In a sense.
The situation of these nine people is somewhat similar to Ni Menglin's - the prison terms will not be long, most of them will only be three or four years or even one or two years, but their social image has completely collapsed.
Maybe after today's court hearing.
They will also experience online violence.
The moment the nine people confessed, Grandpa Zheng Ping, who was holding Zheng Ping's deceased photo, suddenly burst into tears in front of the court, his voice sad and shrill.
However, this time He Qiong did not slap the wood to ask for silence as usual, but gently asked the two bailiffs to take the old man to the lounge to rest.
in the subsequent time.
He Qiong reviewed the remaining Internet violence cases.
It has to be said that these cyber violence cases are also very representative in nature.
For example, the situation of a piece of eucalyptus is as follows:
The victim was a young girl. Because she commented on a certain streamer’s poor acting skills on Weibo, the streamer’s fans attacked her online.
The girl tried to go to extremes many times because she couldn't bear the pressure, but fortunately she was discovered by family members or passers-by, so no tragedy like Zheng Ping's happened.
And among the fans of online violent girls, at least 70% are underage girls, which is really deplorable...
...
Six hours later.
All cases have been heard.
Because the Supreme Court had already completed a detailed analysis and discussion of the dossier before the court session.
Therefore, He Qiong did not announce a date for the sentencing, but gave the verdict in court:
"After trial, it was found that the evidence of the 2.9 Internet incident and related ancillary incidents was detailed. The defendants Ding Xiaxia, Chen Xuting, Yang Jie, Chen Tao... all had no objection to the criminal facts charged in the indictment and voluntarily pleaded guilty. No excuses.”
"This court believes that the defendant... illegally committed cyber violence and slander against others, causing varying degrees of psychological and physiological harm to the victim. According to the provisions of the "Several Issues Concerning the Applicable Law in the Trial of Civil Disputes Using Information Networks to Infringe Personal Rights and Interests" ", "Criminal Procedure Law" Article 246, "Public Security Law" Article 110... The following judgment is made."
"Defendants Ding Xiaxia and Huang Long were convicted of defamation, illegal business operations (organizing trolls), and endangering national information security. They were punished for several crimes and were sentenced to 20 years and 18 years in prison respectively."
"Defendants Chen Xuting and Yang Jie were sentenced to fifteen years in prison for defamation, illegal production and trafficking of obscene materials."
"The defendant Ni Menglin was sentenced to four years and eight months in prison for defamation..."
】
"The defendant Huang Wen, whose online name is Stella, was sentenced to two years and three months in prison for..."
"The defendant Qiao Andong, whose online name is Hangcheng Whistleblower King, was sentenced to four years and four months in prison for...
"At the same time, after the court is adjourned, the Cyberspace Administration of China will, based on historical speech records, impose varying degrees of punishment on the natural person accounts involved in the above cyber violence incidents, including summons, account closure, short-term ban, etc..."
More than ten minutes later.
He Qiong looked at the audience:
"The court hearing is over and the court is now closed. Please leave the court in an orderly manner."
He Qiong finished speaking.
There was silence for a moment.
Suddenly there was a burst of applause like a rainstorm.
Hunett, the famous judge across the sea, once said a famous saying:
Justice delayed is justified.
Later this sentence was translated into a Chinese French proverb:
Justice may be late, but it will never be absent.
In reality, however, this is an extremely serious translation error.
What this sentence really means is...
Justice delayed is injustice.
The damage caused by delayed justice to the parties involved is huge and may never be repaired - such as Zheng Ping, and some others?
But on the other hand.
One of the meanings of the existence of the judiciary is to correct and face up to the mistakes originally made.
At least......
Work hard so that the justice that comes next time can come on time.
