Chapter 210 Epilogue (1)

The trial became an enduring topic for a long time afterwards.

Whether sitting at the scene of the trial court or watching the live broadcast from all corners of the league, almost no one can fully recall everything that happened at the end of the trial.

What impressed them the most was only one moment——

When all the genetic corrections of the scavenger were traced back, defense lawyer Gu Yan stood on the seat, looked up at the huge holographic screen, then turned his eyes to the judge and said, "This is the end of my inquiry, thank you."

The entire courtroom was frozen for a century, and it was boiling.

So the trial ended here.

No one has ever seen such an expressionless judge, no one has ever seen such overwhelmed prosecution lawyers and witnesses, and no one has seen such astonished Brewer and Milo Manson.

The trial started with extreme heaviness and attention, and ended with more extreme noise and chaos, which attracted higher and unprecedented attention.

At 2:30 p.m. that day, the Decamar Supreme Court announced that the trial of the Shao Weng case was completely suspended.

At the same time, the alliance's major planetary police stations officially launched a joint investigation.

Horace Ji was taken away in court by the Joint Investigation Team.

In the past thirty years, some of the crimes he has committed under various skins have long been nailed to the archives of various police stations.

And the remaining part will also be revealed within this investigation period.

As Gu Yan once promised: "You don't have to bear it, you don't have to carry it."

But what he should bear is also not less.

Also taken away in court were Brewer and Milo Manson.

In fact, their embarrassment and confusion did not last long. The brothers quickly calmed down, sorted out their expensive shirts, and followed the officer out of the courtroom.

"It doesn't matter, we will cooperate with all investigations. Manson Group's operations have always been law-abiding, and there will be no problems." Brewer Manson left such a sentence in front of the swarming reporters.

When he opened the door of the police car, he caught a glimpse of the reflection in the window and paused.

He turned his head to look behind him. On the long steps of the Decamar Supreme Court, there was a man standing behind the crowd of reporters. The man's eyes were clear and his eyes were cast far beyond the crowd, clearly condescending, but with a gentle smile.

It is Yan Suizhi who "resurrected from the dead".

Brothers Brewer and Milo Manson are probably the ones who know the truth about the "death" best in this world. At this moment, Yan Suizhi is just standing there, which is the biggest ridicule to them.

What's more, the other party raised his hand, as if to see them off.

"..."

Milo Manson forced a smirk under the frantic crowd of reporters.

Then at the moment of turning around and getting into the car, he said, "Fuck me!"

Brewer Manson followed in the car.

Brewer, who was used to being calm, didn't remind his younger brother to pay attention to his image this time, because even his own lips moved a little, and he silently exclaimed, and then slammed the door shut.

Had it not been in public, he would have smashed the car on the spot.

After a while, Gu Yan, who had signed the court record file, also walked out of the courtroom.

He lowered his head and said a few words to Yan Suizhi, and also looked towards the police car. His usual indifferent eyes looked even colder through the first layer of the car window, as if he was looking at an irrelevant passerby.

As if it wasn't him who made waves in court just now.

Then there's Joe, Ke Jin, Eunice, and Ivy's leader, Devore Evers.

The shrewd and gentleman businessman glanced in this direction, his gray-blue eyes very shallowly illuminated by the sun.

Until this moment, he finally lost all his elder friendship. He squinted his eyes and withdrew his gaze without emotion. He took off his glasses and wiped them slowly.

A few minutes ago, Brewer Manson had said proudly: "No problem."

But now, the police car started slowly under the watchful eyes of these people, but his face was ugly as never before.

The Manson Brothers have always been arrogant and conceited, but it is not that they have not arranged a retreat.

They have a complete set of risk plans. Once a major flaw occurs, all relevant interest lines can be cut off and cleaned up within three days, and research traces can be perfectly hidden within a week.

At the normal investigation speed of the Alliance Police Department, it takes a process to collect evidence and then fix it, and it will take about 10 days to go faster. What's more, they are intertwined, and any one of them can be called by name. Under this kind of pressure, it will take longer to find out everything, and it will take a while to smooth out the relationship.

But what they didn't expect was that the most time-consuming, lengthy and complicated preliminary sorting and investigation work had been done a long time ago.

They have been investigating for more than 20 years, and everything is ready, but can't they meet those risk plans?

On the day when the joint investigation was launched, Devo Evers and Yan Suizhi handed in all the clues and evidence they had preserved over the years.

The fake nurse, Amy Boro, told the whole story under the guidance of the police after learning about the trial. Including the things she has participated in and handled over the years. Including her responsibilities at the Infection Research Center, how she was placed in the Ivy League Hospital, and how she attacked Horace Ji several times while staring at Jacques Bai.

She also explained how she took advantage of her job to forge part of Horace Ji's evidence in the Shake Weng case.

...

A day later, Fitz was sent to the police station by the Southern Cross line of correspondence and running accounts.

In the afternoon of the same day, Zhao Zemu, who was detained in the Tianqin Star Detention Center, rang the electric bell, choking on the time he had negotiated with Qiaoyu, and confessed that the relationship between the Manson brothers and Zhao, and Cliff Air and others over the years was as agreed. dark-line cooperation and transactions.

three days.

No, it was two and a half days to be precise. Before the Manson Brothers' risk plan took effect, all the lines of interest were pinched by the police.

The Southern Cross Law Firm was swept up by the police station on the same day, and the partners were arrested along with the individual lawyers involved.

In the early morning of the next day, when Cliff was about to take a private shuttle to avoid the limelight, he was blocked by the police at the port.

When the Alliance Police Department released the official document of the joint investigation, they did not expect that the biggest case in the past century would actually become the fastest one they investigated.

Brewer and Milo Manson were initially calm and poised, sitting in the station's interrogation room with all the officers.

This state was maintained for two days, and they finally took off their masks under the police station’s sweeping investigation and began to confront the police officers in silence. No matter what they asked, they would always answer the same thing—waiting for my lawyer to come.

Who knew that the bail promised by the lawyer was not waited, and they waited for another fatal blow——

Jacques Bai, who had been walking on the edge of death for many days, finally got out of the dangerous period and woke up.

All but the Mansons were happy.

Including the police officer who was waiting outside the ward for a long time, and even the fake nurse who confessed the crime.

Although he was out of the dangerous period, Jacques Bai's condition was still very poor, and he didn't have much time to wake up every day. But even so, as long as he opened his eyes, he would press the pager beside the bed, and little by little, he would tell the police officers everything he knew, experienced, and heard.

From him, the police obtained all the research materials and files of genetic drugs, most of the scavenger's genetic modification operation records, the analysis data of RK13 infection virus and so on.

He made triple backups of each, and kept them carefully, as if he had been waiting for this day for a long, long time.

Because of the information he provided, the research center belonging to the Manson Group was smashed before the traces were removed, and every key item was fixed as evidence.

The scavenger Horace Ji might be dying and wanted to pull his back, and bit back thoroughly.

So Brewer and Milo Manson were indisputable.

In just one and a half months, all major cases of the Manson Group were closed.

The indictment involving Shaw Weng was transferred to the Alliance Supreme Court on Redstone, the political center.

This trial brought together the largest number of witnesses, the largest number of power connections, and the largest number of first-level lawyers in the past century, but it was the most straightforward trial.

On February 13, 1257, at 4:23 p.m., the Manson Group trial ended.

The justice announced a 10-minute adjournment and then read out the verdict.

The heavy door of the criminal court opened, and all the people who participated in the trial and who participated in the listening walked out one after another, talking in a low voice, or going to the corridor to take a breath.

On the rooftop of the top floor, Fitz, who had just released his identity as a witness, was finally able to meet with Yan Suizhi and Gu Yan normally.

"The coffee in the lounge is in short supply, only warm water is left, so I'll have it." Gu Yan gave her the paper cup.

"Thank you, I'm dying of thirst."

Fitz took it and drank half a glass before letting out a long sigh.

Leaning on the long railing, she squinted at the golden clouds in the far distance, and suddenly felt a little disappointed: "Is this case over?"

Yan Suizhi: "Strictly speaking, it will not officially end until the results of the trial are read out later."

"It's all the same," Fitz said. "...I don't know why, but it feels a little too fast, like I'm in a dream. I don't even remember what I said on the witness stand, so I just brushed the floor and ended it."

Yan Suizhi smiled, "It's not because it's fast."

"why?"

Yan Suizhi said: "Because you have come a long way before this."

Therefore, this step across the finish line seems extremely short, but only in the blink of an eye.

At 5:33, the judge of the Supreme Court of the Union read out the trial:

... This court declares that the charges against Manson Group, Cliff Aviation, and XJTLU are all established.

In accordance with Articles 122, 361 and 402 of the Union's Supreme Penal Code, sentenced defendants Brewer Manson, Milo Manson and Hill Cliff to death;

In accordance with Articles 122 and 270 of the Supreme Penal Code of the Union, the defendant Horace Ji was sentenced to death;

Life imprisonment for Bardo Xippo and Berger Gao;

...

The verdicts of one trial are spread throughout the alliance, symbolizing that all the dust has settled.

Some people bear the load for 30 years, some people enter the cage, and some people walk for a long time in the dark.

Fortunately, there are always stars in the world to open the way, so it is not a waste of time.
