Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

Pullman left the office. He planned to go to the restaurant next to him to eat first, then read the court documents carefully after the meal, and then wait for the trial in the afternoon.

There have been many voices in the society that this is just a show trial, because the voices in this trial are unanimous, and there is no need to hold Taotao accountable for such a result.

After all, the results are obvious to all. If it hadn't been for Taotao, there might have been tragic casualties by now, because there were very big loopholes in the rescue plan announced by the operations department and the actual situation.

If the emergency department's rescue plan is followed, the death toll will exceed 2,000, and the subsequent impact on the entire region will be extremely huge. The economic losses caused by the explosion will also cause huge damage to the city.

So most people feel that if Taotao hadn't told Zhao Zhen about Xingke's plan, the bomb would have exploded the moment Xingke implemented the plan.

And people in the city will not know the truth, and the city will not become what it is now. In just over a day, many people feel fresh, because the city is changing.

The city that used to be a stagnant water has started to move. Although many companies in the middle class have adjusted their business goals in recent years to those at the bottom, the income of the middle class has not decreased. On the contrary, it will increase due to reasons at the bottom. Many people are still optimistic about the future. I am confident that once the agricultural base in the barrier zone is established, the city will complete its transformation and the problem of insufficient resource supply in the past can be effectively solved.

Many people in the city are once again full of hope for the future. Many people spontaneously held signs at the door of the law hall with the word "innocent" written on them. However, many people in the legal field bluntly said that even if Taotao He won't be severely sentenced, but he will definitely be sentenced.

Le Xiao was waiting in the canteen of the General Affairs Department. The steak was about to be fried, and Alpha had already taken the food and found a seat in advance.

"How is today's trial?"

The head chef asked, Le Xiao thought for a while and then smiled.

"It shouldn't be too bad."

The atmosphere in the entire General Affairs Section is very pleasant, and many people seem to be relatively relaxed. Although the city has just returned to normal, the work at hand has been intensively handled during the days of martial law.

After today, Le Xiao plans to take a day off tomorrow. Of course, she chooses to rest in the General Affairs Department. After all, there are delicious meals here, and the key is that they are free.

Le Xiao had nothing to do last night and did some calculations. He had already been in debt for more than two years for the salary of the personnel in Section 13. When he thought of this problem, Le Xiao felt embarrassed and could only reduce some of his daily expenses as much as possible. .

Now Le Xiao's biggest expense is wine and some snacks, especially wine. Le Xiao feels that she is getting better and better at drinking now. She used to drink and get drunk after one gulp, but now she should be fine if she drinks half a bottle. After one bottle, it's a big deal and she lies down. .

Le Xiao brought the dishes over, and Alpha had almost finished eating.

"Sister Alpha, why do you eat so little?"

Alpha glanced at the large plate of food held by Le Xiao. It contained mostly meat and a wide variety of food, and each one looked delicious.

"Is it okay for you to eat that much?"

Le Xiao hummed.

"It would be nice if I had another drink."

Not long after Le Xiao finished speaking, the chef came over with a bottle of wine.

"Take a sip if you don't mind, Lord Le Xiao."

Le Xiao scratched her head with a smile, took it over without saying anything, and started eating and drinking.

"Sister Alpha, you should be fine today."

Alpha hummed. She didn't know what the result of today would be. The only thing she knew was that the result wouldn't be too bad.

After eating, Le Xiao returned to the room. It was almost 1 o'clock, and the trial would start at 2:30 p.m. Le Xiao lay on the bed happily and fell asleep soon.

Alpha began to sort out some documents, especially the expenses and wages of Section 13. She had asked several other people to send over some of the details of this month's expenses, and then submitted them directly to the General Affairs Department for review.

Didi

A call came through and Alpha glanced at the number.

"Can you come and pick me up?"

It was a call from the wise man. Alpha asked about the wise man's condition. He had fully recovered. After getting up, Alpha directly borrowed a takeoff and landing aircraft from the General Affairs Department.

The wise man was at the Medical University. Alpha drove the helicopter and arrived at the medical university in 10 minutes. He was a little surprised when he saw the wise man Alpha.

"Did you undergo mechanical modification surgery?"

The wise man hummed. His body had changed a lot. He looked taller and taller, with a slight bulge on his back. After Alpha walked over, he opened the wise man's clothes and saw a spider-shaped machine embedded in the flesh on his back. , connecting the two mechanical arms of the wise man.

The wise man stretched out his hand and moved his fingers. There was no loud mechanical friction sound. He moved his hands smoothly. The two mechanical arms looked thick and strong, but in fact they were almost the same weight as the wise man's previous two arms.

This operation took more than a month of adjustments before it was finally over. The wise man's body also returned to health. He walked to the side of the lift, stretched out a hand, and pressed it on the bottom of the lift, on his back. A bright white light appeared on the screen, followed by a crunching sound. The lifter was lifted a little, and the wise man looked very relaxed.

"It feels great."

Soon the two returned to the General Affairs Section. After returning to Le Xiao's room, Le Xiao was still sleeping soundly. The wise man watched the news of the court hearing this morning. He paid more attention to this matter. After all, he and Hydera had thousands of relationships in the past. Inextricably linked.

"It's really not easy to get to this point. Today's trial is necessary. If he is not guilty, the law will be in vain."

Alpha nodded. After the two discussed for a while, it was almost time. At 2:10, they woke up Le Xiao.

Le Xiao was stunned when she saw the wise man.

"Is it the same as a normal arm?"

The wise man stretched out his hand and said with a smile.

"Not only the outside of my body, but also the inside has undergone some transformation. I feel great all over."

In the past, Wise Man had been living in the cold underground all year round, and his hands and feet had problems of varying degrees. However, after undergoing the reconstructive surgery, Wise Man felt that his hands and feet were no longer as cold and painful as before, and some other problems on his body were also much better.

The most important thing is that the wise man now has a certain degree of combat effectiveness. After all, the two mechanical arms are equipped with many brain-controlled weapons.

When the three of them came to the Law Hall, they saw a beautiful girl standing at the door. She looked very young. She was standing in front of the people in Section 8, saying something.

"Lord Le Xiao, can you let me in?"

Le Xiao looked at the girl in confusion. She didn't recognize her at all. Two people from Section 8 explained the situation. She claimed to be Hydera's daughter.

Now reporters covering the outside have been blocked by Section 5. This news makes many reporters want to interview, but the list of people who can enter inside has been drawn up.

"Hydra's daughter? Real or fake?"

"Really, Lord Le Xiao."

Then Le Xiao directly asked a director of Section 5 to bring the identity authentication equipment, and the result was soon obtained. The woman named Hydra was really Hydra's daughter.

"Anyway, one more is not a lot, and one less is a lot. Let her go in."

"Thank you, Master Le Xiao."

The trial officially started at 2:30.

Leti started to explain directly. A month ago, because Taotao wanted to abort the child, she agreed to Pan Hua to find a black market doctor for surgery.

This black market doctor was Zhao Zhen, and Zhao Zhen later held Taotao hostage. At this time, Pan Hua, a witness, appeared in court wearing a collar. He seemed to have lost a lot of weight, and was completely different from the handsome man he used to be. The whole person has also aged a lot.

Taotao glanced at Pan Hua, who bowed in front of the court and said sorry with tears in his eyes.

Soon Letty finished stating a series of things, and Pullman stood up and said.

"Miss Taotao was under duress before, so the days she lived with Zhao Zhen should be excluded from the specific incident."

"Are you really being coerced?"

Letty questioned.

"Because there is no evidence to prove that she was actually coerced."

Pullman immediately retorted.

"A young woman who was illegally pregnant and had no idea whether the bomb in her body was real or not had no choice but to obey the criminal in order to survive. Moreover, Section 5 also found restraint equipment in Miss Taotao's house, which is enough to prove that Taotao was kidnapped. It restricts freedom."

Letty laughed.

"According to the surveillance we obtained, Taotao went out alone six times during more than a month with Zhao Zhenchen. However, she did not choose to report the crime, but continued to return home."

Pullman knew very well that as expected, Letty raised this point unceremoniously. This was indeed an unavoidable point, even though Pullman had asked psychiatrists to question Taotao several times before.

Whether Taotao suffers from Stockholm syndrome, Taotao denies it. She does not have any feelings between men and women towards Zhao Zhen. She is just grateful to Zhao Zhen because Zhao Zhen has taken good care of Taotao for more than a month. good.

If it were in the past, Pullman would have hoped that Taotao would admit that she had similar symptoms, but it is different now. Some other lawyers just proposed, but they were rejected by Taotao. Since she has chosen the truth, then she will not Will use lies to excuse myself again.

"But this is based on the most basic human emotions. For more than a month, Zhao Zhen has taken care of Taotao, and her parents passed away when she was very young, so she lacks a sense of security. In addition, as a third party who interferes in other people's marriages, , and was threatened with violence by Pan Hua countless times, so Taotao felt grateful to Zhao Zhen psychologically. Moreover, Taotao didn't know whether the bomb was true or false, so she did not choose to take the risk and report the crime."

As expected, the focus of the debate was still during the month Taotao and Zhao Zhen lived, and both father and daughter had already thought about it.

Letty immediately stood up and said.

"First of all, Miss Taotao is an educated person. It is impossible for her not to know that the act of supporting the criminal itself constitutes a crime. Therefore, even if her behavior is based on human feelings, it violates the law."

Letty really insisted on this point, Pullman stood up again and said.

"But we must consider an issue. The fact of the crime is that assisting the criminal resulted in very bad results. Even though Taotao did not report the crime, she did not provide Zhao Zhen with any information during the time she was dealing with the truth. Help, so during the time spent with Zhao Zhen, the only thing that could lead to a conviction was the failure to report the case to the criminal department. However, according to city laws, citizens can find ways to deal with it on their own when their lives and property are seriously threatened. "

"It is true that there are clear provisions in the law, but during the days when Miss Taotao and Zhao Zhen were together, there is still no evidence to prove that she did not provide help to Zhao Zhen. There are several records here."

As she spoke, Letty took out some of the things Taotao bought after her trip, including medicine bottles and some mechanical parts. These things were used by Zhao Zhen to treat his body, including installing eavesdropping and monitoring equipment in some places.

"So this shopping list is enough to show that Taotao helped Zhao Zhen when he was with Zhao Zhen."

Pullman felt that there was no chance of winning. Indeed, in the previous investigation, the things Taotao bought had actually helped Zhao Zhen.

Letty began to explain that based on the investigation results of Section 5, the facts of the crime have basically been determined. This is a criminal fact defined according to the law, and it is not that there is no evidence.

There began to be a commotion in the court. After a judge asked for silence, he immediately announced that the court was adjourned. Just after 3:20, the court would resume after half an hour.

The father and daughter came to the middle, and Pullman was a little bitter.

"It's true."

"I'll do my best dad."

Pullman nodded, turned around, walked to Taotao, and took her to the rest area. The people from the legal team were still looking through some documents, and they had to find a certain point. After all, Section 8 was already determined. It was an established fact that Taotao helped Zhao Zhen buy some medicines, mechanical parts and chemicals.

Once convicted, Taotao helped a criminal who committed a crime that endangers the city. For the same crime, Taotao will definitely be sentenced to thirty years in prison.

Pullman probably knows his daughter's thoughts and wants to establish the crime, and then appropriately reduce the sentence based on Taotao's subsequent behavior and the consequences. This is indeed a good idea, but Pullman absolutely cannot Let Taotao be found guilty of assisting a criminal.

More disputes can only be placed where Taotao tells Zhao Zhen about his legal actions later. This will help improve the city's legal system, and the charges at this stage of disputes will be relatively lighter, which will also help Taotao. the final outcome of the trial.

Pullman, who was ready to pay attention, immediately retrieved the surveillance files and watched them carefully. Although he had already watched them many times, he had to continue watching and find a point that could overturn it all.

After all, Zhao Zhen, who could be an effective witness, was dead. It was impossible for him to say anything for Taotao. Pullman sighed helplessly.

At this time, there was a knock on the door of the room. Pullman opened the door and saw a beautiful girl standing at the door.

"Hello Mr. Pullman, my name is Hydra!"
