I'm not a theatre god

Bang bang bang——

The spotlights came on one after another, and many reporters in the auditorium recorded this scene completely. The tips of their pens flew quickly on the page, for fear of missing any sentence of dialogue.

Under Guyuan's coercion, sweat dripped down the prosecutor's back. Even so, he still chose to continue speaking:

"Your Honor, I haven't finished reading here yet."

"……read!"

"During this period, the defendant Han Meng took the initiative to contact the Twilight Society, and the two parties negotiated and completed a secret deal. When the seven districts lost the protection of Aurora, Han Meng abandoned the third district and took refuge in Aurora City alone, hoping to rely on his [Judgment] talent to obtain Opportunity to get into town.

After entering the city, in accordance with the agreement negotiated between the two parties, Han Meng betrayed the law enforcement system and cooperated with the Dusk Society to open the gate of Aurora City and let the heretic Chen Ling sneak into the city.

[Heart 6] After Chen Ling entered the city, she burned herself in front of everyone and spread the plague virus on her body into Aurora City along with the dust, thereby completing a round of biochemical attacks on Aurora City..."

As soon as these words came out, everyone present could not sit still, especially the onlookers who came to the court to watch the excitement after witnessing everything at the scene. They stood up from their seats in fright on the spot!

"plague???"

There was chaos in the courtroom.

In the midst of this confusion, the prosecutor took a deep breath and spoke word by word:

"To sum up, I recommend that the defendant Han Meng... be sentenced to death with Lingchi!"

Chen Ling's face suddenly turned as cold as ice.

Boom——! !

A heavy hammering sound suppressed all the noise.

"Prosecutor." Green veins have popped out on Guyuan's hand holding the hammer, "Do you have any evidence for what you said?"

"Here is a medical report issued by Shuangye Hospital. In the past seven days, there have been more than fifty cases of viral infection, and all of these patients were onlookers who witnessed the self-immolation scene that day and were relatively close to it."

"What about them?"

"As of yesterday, the last person infected with the virus has been confirmed to have died and was cremated at the crematorium."

"You mean, there are no living bodies or corpses with viruses available for inspection, only a certificate from Frost Leaf Hospital?"

"There is also a cremation certificate issued by the crematorium. After all, it is still unclear how the virus is transmitted. Cremation as soon as possible can prevent the spread of the virus."

"Then how did you determine that Han Meng had a secret deal with the Dusk Society?"

"Under the mattress of Han Meng's cell, we found a playing card." The prosecutor paused for a moment.

"The face of that playing card is [Six of Spades]."

The whole audience was shocked again.

"Haha, this evidence is really coincidental." Wen Shilin is a senior journalist after all, and he immediately sensed something was wrong, "Shuangye Hospital and the crematorium are all the Stars Chamber of Commerce's own properties, even the so-called organ trade The records were all found underground at the Qunxing Chamber of Commerce... Did they know that they couldn't hide what they were doing, so they conveniently dragged Han Meng into trouble? "

"Just give someone a playing card and you can frame it on the Dusk Club." Chen Ling sneered solemnly, "It turns out that it's so easy to dirty someone up. No wonder the Dusk Club's reputation is so bad..."

"But I have to say that this move is really cruel... Taking advantage of people's panic about the plague and the fear of the Twilight Society, and supplementing it with the power of the media to stimulate fermentation, even if Han Meng is innocent, he will not be able to escape public opinion. The court was under pressure and could not make a verdict easily...Does Han Meng have such a big feud with Qunxing Chamber of Commerce?" Wen Shilin sighed.

On the trial stage, Guyuan also slowly spoke:

"Prosecutor, these fragmentary evidence alone are not enough to convict the defendant...I think you should know this."

"Your Honor, this is related to the Twilight Society. How can we collect such detailed evidence? For the stability and safety of Aurora City, I think it is better to execute Han Meng as soon as possible."

The air suddenly became stagnant.

"Defendant." Guyuan's eyes fell on Han Meng's defense lawyer.

"Do you... have any evidence to adduce, or anything to defend the defendant?"

Before the trial, Guyuan had already handed Tan Xin's letter to the defense lawyer. According to the original process, as long as Guyuan finished stating the case and the defense lawyer showed the letter, Han Meng's two charges could be completely erased. Although the development of things now is too unexpected, that letter can at least clear most of Han Meng's suspicions and explain the reason why the other party opened the door.

The defense lawyer stood silently in the audience. After feeling the prosecutor's gaze, he shook his head.

"No, I have nothing to defend."

boom--

A soft sound came out, and the wooden hammer in Guyuan's hand exploded on the spot.

"very good……"

Guyuan narrowed his eyes slightly, "Now, how many people support the execution of Han Meng?"

Everyone looked at each other, and under the coercion of the prosecutor's gaze, several figures in the jury raised their hands, and a continuous stream of spotlights came on, illuminating the entire courtroom.

Zhuo Shuqing originally wanted to take a photo, but when he saw Chen Ling sitting across from him looking at him with a cannibalistic look, he silently put down the camera and lowered his head like a quail.

In the countless flashing lights, Han Meng stood silently in the dock, with the black prison clothes covered with shackles called "framed" one after another.

Everyone's eyes changed when they looked at him, from doubt, curiosity, support, to fear and disgust. The public didn't know the truth at all, but at this moment they wished that Han Meng would be executed immediately, because it would make them feel at ease.

At the same time, the prosecutor's voice sounded again: "Your Honor, is it time to give a verdict?"

Gu Yuan's old eyes slowly closed, he took a deep breath, and his low voice echoed in the court again:

"There is insufficient evidence and defense for the defendant Han Meng. I declare this trial adjourned... The court will be reopened in two days and the final verdict on the defendant Han Meng will be issued."

Faced with so many and bad accusations, and the defense lawyer did not take action, it would be difficult to get a not guilty verdict for Han Meng, not to mention that there were so many media reporters present... In this case, adjourning the court is the only way out and the best result.

"Why adjourn the court?!"

"Yeah, I also feel that Han Meng is problematic now. Didn't they say that the people in the Twilight Society are all criminals and thugs? Why not execute him immediately?"

"He brought the plague to Aurora City!! I was wondering why my throat has been uncomfortable recently... Damn it!! I'm going to the hospital now!"

"He is the culprit of all this!!"

"..."

Even though the court was adjourned, the crowd had no intention of leaving. Ordinary people in the audience seats across from them stood up and pointed at Han Meng in the dock and cursed.

In the chaotic courtroom, the silent figure of the prisoner in black has become the target of thousands of people's criticism;

"Bullshit! Who dares to say that Chief Han Meng is a criminal! I'm the first to disagree!!" After the adjournment, Zhao Yi obviously let go. He led a group of survivors from District 3 to curse at the other side, and the scene was once extremely chaotic!

In this crazy noise and chaos, Chen Ling, wearing a brown coat, stood up silently and walked out of the court.

"Where are you going?" Wen Shilin asked puzzled.

Chen Ling did not answer.

The corners of his coat fluttered in the wind. He went up the river alone amid the public criticism, standing back to back with the figure standing in the dock, walking alone in silence...

A cold wind blew through the door of the courtroom, and behind the seemingly gentle half-framed glasses, a murderous anger flickered;
