Into Unscientific

  Chapter 496 Justice Ends (Part 1)

   As the lifeline city of China, Yanjing has many advantages.

  For example, educational resources are abundant.

   For example, advanced medical resources.

   Another example is the blood-sucking cough cough, which has a strong ability to concentrate resources in the surrounding area.

   But among the many advantages.

   Yanjing also has many shortcomings.

  For example, traffic jams, which directly change from the capital to the first traffic jam on weekends.

  For example, frequent traffic control. Of course, we can’t say much about this.

   Another example.

   It's the weather.

  The temperature in Yanjing two days ago was quite pleasant, the sun was soft, it seemed that the vegetation was about to turn green, and the spring flowers were in full bloom.

   As a result, I didn't expect it to pass overnight.

  The sun seemed to be set with a 404 character, and it disappeared without a trace.

  The sky is full of low and thick gray-yellow turbid clouds, which makes people feel a little depressed.

at the same time.

  In a cheap hotel on the East Fourth Ring Road of Yanjing.

  Meng Liang was standing by the window of the room on the seventh floor in his pajamas, staring blankly at the scene outside:

   At this time, it was 7:30 in the morning, and there were bustling pedestrians coming and going on the road, so it was very lively.

   Someone is looking at their mobile phone and walking leisurely.

  Someone was nibbling on buns or burritos, and hurried to the subway entrance.

   There is also an old man wearing a plaid shirt with a shoulder bag, chasing his wig that was blown away by the wind

  Meng Liang also saw a young man with an immature appearance. He touched his chin as he walked, as if he was worried that there was still a beard that had not been cleanly shaved, and he would look down at the tie on his chest from time to time.

It is clear.

   This is a newcomer who has just entered the workplace and has not been tempered. Maybe today is the first day of work.

   Seeing this scene that many "community animals" are used to and might vomit, Meng Liang's eyes flashed with envy:

   "That's great"

   Just when Meng Liang was looking at the scenery outside the window.

   drop—

   At the door behind him, there was a soft sound of the room card being unlocked.

   After a while.

  Meng Liang's father, Meng Dongguo, slapped the dust on his body, and walked quickly out of the room, muttering:

   "Oh Huo! Fortunately, this Yanjing is an imperial capital, and even a dusty day makes the skin turn over."

   While talking, Meng Dongguo put another plastic bag and a cup of soy milk on the small desk in the room, and greeted Meng Liang:

   "Son, come to have breakfast, there is no busy (rice) on the side, so I just bought a few steamed buns and buns."

   "Here, I'll give you the soy milk. Let's set off as soon as possible after eating. Don't keep those comrades waiting."

  Meng Liang came back to his senses.

   A simple oh:

   "Oh, here we come."

   Then he walked to the desk in a few steps, picked up a steamed bun, and then set his sights on the lonely soybean milk next to him:

   "Dad, why did you just buy a cup of soy milk?"

  Meng Dongguo had already gnawed on the steamed buns. Hearing this, he quickly chewed a few times, and took a sip of the standard mineral water from the corner of the table.

   After finishing the work, he wiped the corner of his mouth, shook his head and said:

   "A cup of soy milk costs three and five yuan, which is too expensive to buy."

   "Anyway, the hotel provides mineral water, and this is the water. Oh, the shell of the water dew is too soft, and I can't feel it when I pinch it."

  Meng Liang glanced at his father.

   Didn't correct that the name of the bottle of water is actually Ice Dew, let alone say that if you don't drink soy milk, I won't drink it either.

   Instead, he silently picked up the cup of soybean milk and blew on it, then took a sip.

   Softened the steamed bun in his mouth and swallowed it.

   After five or six minutes.

  Meng Liang and his son finished the simple breakfast at the same time.

  Meng Dongguo burped, rubbed his stomach a few times, stood up awkwardly, and said to Meng Liang:

   "Okay, son, it's almost time, let's go now."

  “.”

  Meng Liang twitched the corners of his mouth a few times when he heard the words, but he still didn't speak in the end.

  I saw him turn around dully, pick up the coat prepared in advance on the bed, and slowly put it on.

   And just when Meng Liang pulled the zipper halfway, Meng Dongguo's soft sigh suddenly sounded behind him:

   "Son, are you a little scared?"

  Meng Liang's movements froze for a moment.

   Then he turned his head in astonishment and looked at his father.

It is clear.

   Meng Dongguo hit Meng Liang's heart.

   "Why are you looking at me like that?"

  Meng Dongguo took two steps forward, came to Meng Liang's side, patted his son's shoulder vigorously and said:

   "The ancestors said it well, knowing a son is like a father."

   "If you talk about the usage of mobile phones and computers, or the difference between the Supreme Court, the Public Prosecution and the Law, I will definitely not be able to say anything."

   "But you were raised by me, and you haven't even spent time away from your mother and me haha ​​(a little bit). I can't see what you're thinking?"

  Meng Liang's face twitched.

   Then Meng Dongguo threw the mineral water bottle in his hand into the trash can, took out his elderly phone from his pocket, and shook it twice in front of Meng Liang:

   "I saw it the day we arrived in Yanjing. There is something wrong with you. You keep saying that you should take a taxi to the Supreme People's Procuratorate today for auspiciousness."

   "I didn't find anything until I went downstairs and asked the little girl at the front desk of the hotel to check it for me."

   "There is no direct subway to the Supreme Inspection near the hotel. If you want to go to the Supreme Inspection, you must transfer to the station. The initial line is only the Batong Line."

   "And in the station of Batong Line, there is the school you went to."

   Hear the second half of Meng Dongguo's sentence.

  Meng Liang's chest suddenly rose and fell a few times, his face flushed instantly, and he faltered.

  In Meng Dongguo's blind spot, the fingers of Meng Liang's left hand were trembling faintly.

  As Meng Dongguo said.

  At this time, Meng Liang was indeed a little scared.

   Over a month ago.

  When I learned from the female police officer named Wang Li that the Information Security Technology Department wanted him to come forward as a plaintiff to sue the big V who had spread rumors about him.

  Meng Liang had only two thoughts in his mind:

   Gratitude and joy.

  Grateful because the country finally gave him a chance to be honest.

  Happy because the big V who caused him to be infinitely close to family ruin is finally about to be punished.

  Later under the guidance of Wang Li et al.

  Meng Liang also carried out the private prosecution process normally, and sued the big V who had spread rumors about him and the girl who had slandered him.

  However, as an individual case among many cases, Meng Liang's prosecution is only an introduction to the whole process—or the "mission" of other plaintiffs similar to Meng Liang is the same.

   Then with the cooperation of relevant departments.

  The Supreme Procuratorate took over these private prosecution files.

   And a week ago, in the form of a criminal case, a public prosecution was initiated to the First Criminal Tribunal of the Supreme Court, which is commonly known as the First Criminal Tribunal.

   At the same time as the victim of the case.

  Meng Liang and others were also invited by Wang Li to Yanjing to attend the trial as witnesses.

no doubt.

   This is exciting news.

   After all, reaching this step means that the case has reached the final trial stage.

  Those so-called big Vs who slander, spread rumors, and explode others on the Internet are destined to receive the punishment they deserve.

   And the implementation time will not be too long.

However.

  After learning that the destination is Yanjing.

   Meng Liang suddenly felt an inexplicable fear.

because

  The 211 university he was admitted to was in Yanjing.

   Indeed.

   It was the school that made Meng Liang's decision to drop out of school. Strictly speaking, it had nothing to do with the city of Yanjing.

   But most outsiders, including Meng Dongguo, are not clear about it.

   At that time, the big V obtained the information of his ticket to leave Yanjing from some channels, and posted it directly on the Internet.

  Due to the high degree of attention of the incident at that time.

  So many people ran outside Yanjing Station on the day Meng Liang left Yanjing, and launched leaflets with Meng Liang's message.

  Even on the bullet train to his hometown, some people found their seats and insulted him.

  In the end, Meng Liang could only hide in the dining car in embarrassment, huddled in the corner wearing a mask, and just made it through the journey home with difficulty.

   Therefore, Meng Liang has almost no favorable impression of the city of Yanjing.

Of course.

   There were also a few passers-by who stood up righteously and refuted those flyers, and there were many girls among them.

  So if he just came to Yanjing, a sad place, Meng Liang's mentality would not be too broken.

   But the problem is

  Before setting off from home.

  Meng Dongguo, who has always been frugal, booked this cheap hotel on the East Fourth Ring Road without discussing with Meng Liang in order to save travel expenses.

   At the beginning, Meng Liang didn't pay much attention.

   After all, he is not a person who can't bear hardships. He has suffered a lot in these years.

  Besides, no matter how dilapidated the hotel is these days, it is much better than the original dormitory.

  So while packing his bags, he also searched for the route to the hotel and the route from the hotel to the Supreme Court.

   And the moment the result appeared.

  He was stunned:

  The route from the train station to the hotel is not a problem, but

  There is only one way for the hotel to go to the Supreme Inspection, which is the transfer that Meng Dongguo said.

   One of the stops on the initial line, which is also the transfer point of the line, is impressively—

  The 'alma mater' that left Meng Liang with countless nightmares!

be honest.

  If it was just the city of Yanjing, Meng Liang would at most have a bad impression of it.

  But Meng Liang couldn’t let go of this station where the subway stopped.

   It was a place name that would trigger nightmares for at least two days when Meng Liangguang heard the name.

  So ever since.

  Under the blessing of this "alma mater feeling".

   The fear in Meng Liang's heart was instantly magnified.

  So from his arrival in Yanjing to the present, he has always carried a very strong sense of disobedience.

   This kind of mentality even made him feel a little trance.

  On the one hand, he hopes to see the results of the trial and see those people go to prison.

  But on the other hand, he was a little evasive, unwilling to face those memories back then, afraid of returning to that nightmare land.

   This is a pain that only those who have experienced it know.

  Meng Liang's original idea was not to tell anyone, and he silently endured the pain.

   but did not expect

  My father, who can't even operate an old man's phone, actually showed a detective's keen judgment in this matter?

   Then Meng Dongguo looked at Meng Liang distressedly, and sighed:

   "Son, you have such a psychological burden, why didn't you say it earlier?"

   "Your father and I don't have much ability, but it's better for two people to fight this kind of thing than one person to hold it in? You."

   As a result, I kept talking.

  Meng Dongguo himself didn't know what to say:

  He is just a plumbing repairman who hasn't graduated from high school, so it's really embarrassing to ask him to do psychological counseling.

  So the father and son were silent for a while, and finally Meng Dongguo spoke:

   "Son, you really don't want to take that subway?"

  Meng Liang was silent for a moment, a trace of struggle flashed in his eyes.

   But in the end.

   nodded.

   Seeing this, Meng Dongguo's chest rose and fell, took a deep breath, and said decisively:

   "Okay, if you don't sit, don't sit. It's nothing. Let's take a taxi to the Supreme Court!"

  When I said this.

  A bit of bitterness flashed in Meng Dongguo's heart—in fact, he hoped to see Meng Liang answer no.

   After all, although he has no academic qualifications, he still understands some truths.

  He once heard an old Chinese doctor in a small town say:

  Sorrow leads to dissipation of qi, fright makes qi disordered, and fear makes qi sink.

  It means that sadness will dissipate people's "Qi", panic will make "Qi" disorder, and fear will make "Qi" sink.

  Now that Meng Liang has all three, it is obviously not a good thing.

  The best way to eliminate fear is naturally to face it.

  When a person can face up to his trauma calmly, it means that he has let go of that incident.

  So Meng Dongguo hoped that Meng Liang could choose to take the Batong Line, even if he was wearing a mask and hiding behind himself, it was better than simply evading.

but

   Meng Dongguo was also worried that the twisted melon would not be sweet, and if he persisted, it would cause more serious psychological harm to Meng Liang.

  So he could only follow his son's wishes and exchange the subway for a taxi.

ten minutes later.

   After tidying up their appearance, the father and son left the hotel.

  They took a taxi at the nearest bus stop and drove to Beiheyan Street where the Supreme Procuratorate was located.

at the same time.

  The Supreme Law Headquarters is only 2.1 kilometers away from the Supreme Procuratorate.

  Xu Yun, led by a staff member, came to the gate of the highest judicial organ in China.

   It’s pretty amazing to say the least.

  Yanjing Hospital yesterday, the Supreme Court today.

  In just two days.

  Xu Yun thus easily accomplished the 'achievement' that he could not achieve in his previous life.

  It's a pity that Halo doesn't have an achievement system like steam, otherwise the level can reward something.

   Then Xu Yun dispelled these jumping thoughts, and visited the trial building with great interest.

  Students who have been sentenced in the Supreme Court should know it.

  There are 31 steps at the main entrance of the trial building. There is a saponin tree growing on the steps—the tree grows under the steps and is located on the north side of the 15th step.

  The origin of this saponin tree is not ordinary.

   It is a national first-class ancient tree numbered 11010100609. It has a history of hundreds of years. It is rumored that it was planted by Ji Xiaolan.

  It has witnessed countless gunpowder smoke and beacon fires, heard the gunfire of invaders and the cry of the Chinese people to save their lives.

   At the beginning of the establishment of the Supreme Law.

  Due to the shortage of office space, the Supreme Court approved the construction of a new trial building.

   And this saponin tree is just located within the blue line of the building's construction drawings.

  When the decision makers of the project faced this ancient tree, they seemed very embarrassed:

  The saponin tree is very old. If the old tree is moved to another place, improper transplantation may lead to the death of the old tree.

  Class-one ancient trees are clearly protected by law, and the court, as a judicial organ, is also the guardian of the spirit of the law.

  If the judiciary cannot set an example, how can the judiciary be trusted by the people?

   So after discussion.

  The final plan is to protect the old trees on site, move the building back 5 meters, and drill holes in the steps.

  So ever since.

  This ancient tree is like a sentinel, standing on the 15th step of the Supreme People's Court Trial Building.

From then on.

  This ancient tree has also become a vivid judicial totem of the Supreme People's Court, and many judges have composed poems for it.

  For example, Mr. Ge Xingjun’s "Song of the Saponaria Tree" was written about this tree.

  Taking photos with the tree has gradually become a reserved item when old judges retire, grassroots judges visit, and guests visit.

   Even the students of the law school went to the Supreme People's Court for an internship, and they also used "meeting the saponaria tree, realizing the Supreme Law" as an assembly order.

   So Xu Yun also took advantage of it and asked the staff to take a picture of him and the saponin tree.

  After taking pictures.

  The staff led Xu Yun into the building.

  Compared to the softness of the soap locust tree outside, the interior of the trial building reveals another two-character painting style:

   Solemn.

  The building is covered with dark-toned marble tiles, which looks very low-key at first glance.

   There are no luxurious decorations of crystals and gemstones on the walls and top, but there is a majestic atmosphere inside and out.

  If someone from Xiaoxiao came here, I am afraid that his feet would become soft after a few steps.

   It’s no wonder that the Supreme Court’s trial building is known as the eye of Yanjing’s suppression of evil, and its temperament is indeed extraordinary

   Then the staff took Xu Yun all the way forward, and soon came to a visitor's room, and said:

   "Dr. Xu, Prosecutor Chen is already waiting for you in the room."

  Xu Yun thanked her, and knocked on the door after she left.

   After a while.

  A very stable female voice sounded in the room:

   "Come in."

  Xu Yun followed the trend and pushed the door open.

  The size of this visitor room is not large, only about ten square meters, with a simple desk and two ergonomic chairs placed inside.

   At this time, a 40-year-old **** was sitting behind the desk.

  Lesbians have short hair, fair skin, and look capable and intellectual.

  Seeing Xu Yun enter the room, the other party quickly stood up and greeted him:

   "Hello, Dr. Xu, let me introduce myself. I am Prosecutor Chen Ling of the Supreme People's Procuratorate, and I am also the public prosecutor in this trial."

  Xu Yun also enthusiastically shook hands with the other party:

   "Hello, Inspector Chen."

   Wait until the greetings are over.

  Chen Ling greeted Xu Yun to take a seat, offered him a cup of tea, and said straight to the point:

   "Dr. Xu, we have limited time, so I won't be courteous to you. Let me just introduce the situation to you."

  Xu Yun hastened to listen carefully.

   Then Chen Ling organized some words and said:

   "Our trial can be said to be the largest trial of cyber violence and rumour-mongering since the founding of the People's Republic of China, so it has received a lot of social attention."

   "If nothing else happens, the peak number of live broadcasts should easily exceed 10 million, and we are also under a lot of pressure."

   "At the same time, more importantly, in the current laws and regulations, there is still a lot of controversy about whether the victim should be notified to appear in court."

   "So we have had many heated discussions internally about whether we should invite you and other victims."

  Xu Yun was taken aback for a moment:

   "Is there such a thing?"

  Chen Ling nodded, picked up a book from the table, and explained:

   “Currently, there are three main types of criminal trials.”

   "Respectively, they are criminal private prosecution cases, public prosecution cases with attached civil actions, and public prosecution cases without criminal attached civil actions."

  “The victim of a criminal private prosecution case is generally a private prosecutor, who belongs to the status of the “prosecutor” in the case, and the court will definitely summon him to appear in court, otherwise the trial cannot proceed normally.”

  “The second is that the victim filed a criminal incidental civil action, and is the plaintiff in the incidental civil action, so he will also be summoned to appear in court.”

  “However, according to the third paragraph of Article 187 of the Criminal Law, the people the court should notify did not explain clearly whether the victim or his family members were included.”

  Xu Yun couldn't help blinking.

  In the past period of time, he has learned the difference between private prosecution and public prosecution.

  These two concepts are actually very simple and can be understood almost literally.

  The so-called private prosecution is to act as the plaintiff to sue others.

  As for the public prosecution, it is the prosecution with the procuratorate as the plaintiff.

  The number of people involved in this smear case is very large, and the span also covers all parts of the country, so the process above is going from private prosecution to public prosecution—that's why the victims like Meng Liang are allowed to sue first.

   It's just that Xu Yun didn't expect it.

  In the rules of public prosecution, there is actually a dispute over whether to notify the victim or his family?

   Actually what Xu Yun didn't know was.

  In criminal cases where no attached civil lawsuits have been initiated, it is actually rare for the victim or family members to be notified to appear in court to participate in the proceedings.

  Because this approach is usually of little significance to the judgment result:

  Criminal cases are public prosecution cases, and the conviction and sentencing recommendations of the defendant are the independent opinions of the procuratorate based on its authority.

  If the victim attends the trial.

  Most of the time, they will disagree with the prosecutor’s opinion, and it is quite common for them to feel that the crime is light and the sentence is light

   Give a very typical example:

  Theft and property infringement cases.

  If the family members of the victim come to participate in the trial, most of them will say that the procuratorate made a mistake in this case, and it is not an ordinary robbery, but murder.

  The undertaker can only explain to him the difference between the two, but in fact, doing this kind of thing has no meaning for the final judgment.

  At present, the cases that must be notified are generally only personal injuries, that is, traffic accidents, intentional injuries, etc. This is actually the second type of public prosecution cases with civil lawsuits mentioned by Chen Ling.

   Although Xu Yun didn't understand the specific situation, he quickly understood Chen Ling's thoughts:

   "So, Prosecutor Chen, you mean that the Supreme Court is going to use this live broadcast to determine its personality on the controversy over whether the prosecution should notify the victim?"

  Chen Ling gave him a thumbs up, smiled and nodded:

   "Yes, this is also the purpose of our contact with Dr. Xu before the trial."

  Xu Yun finally understood.

I see

   Well known.

  Domestic or more precisely global.

  Globally, almost no country's laws are completely interpreted clearly.

  Many times, different regions have their own understandings of the same legal terms.

   Therefore, at this time, the Supreme Law will come out to determine:

  There should be no such-and-such disputes in the certain clause, and its interpretation should be unique.

  For example, our domestic Supreme Law.

  The Supreme Court selects some files to be released every year for the purpose of interpretation and characterization.

   So it's obvious.

  This trial has also become one of the cases of interpretation.

   But it's normal to think about it.

  After all, the cases interpreted by the Supreme Court are basically typical and well-known cases, and the current trial clearly meets this requirement.

  Throughout the past few years in China, there have been almost no court trials that have attracted more attention than the smear case—perhaps only the two cases of Lao Mou and Liu Xin can barely be compared.

Of course.

  Now that we have talked about interpretation, here is a rumor for the Supreme Court by the way.

   There was a topic on the hot search before, and many people must have the impression.

  The content of the topic is that the first-instance judgment of a certain Lala case was shortlisted for the selection of the top 100 documents in the country, so many people criticized the Supreme Court for being black.

   But actually.

   This matter is somewhat similar to the original academician of Baijiu:

  They are candidates that are pushed up locally—any province has this power, and the specific nominations are decided locally.

  At that time, Hunan and Chu Province selected fifteen documents to be shortlisted for this selection, and Lala was one of them.

   But after it was shortlisted, it was not officially selected by the Supreme Court.

   As for the certain line guided by the Supreme Law, it is another matter, so I won’t go into details here.

In general.

  The Supreme Law is still upright.

   Then Xu Yun pulled his mind back to reality, thought for a while, and asked Chen Ling:

   "Prosecutor Chen, I don't know what the interpretation of the victim's presence in this trial is"

  Chen Ling raised her eyelids and glanced at him, then pointed to another book on the table:

  "According to Article 106 of the Criminal Procedure Law, the parties refer to the victim, private prosecutor, criminal suspect, defendant, plaintiff and defendant in an incidental civil action."

  “So strictly speaking, the parties to the trial notice should not only refer to the defendant, but should also include the victim—even if it is a public prosecution.”

   "Many people have lost property due to fraud cases, but they have only received the notice of the victim's rights and obligations from the procuratorate, and the rest do not even know the verdict. They don't even know whether the trial will be held."

  “There are still many similar situations, so after discussion above, we decided to explain this through this trial.”

   "But in this way."

   "Dr. Xu, you may have to bear a little more pressure."

Note:

My body suddenly had a very serious condition, the kind without warning - old readers should know that I can hardly talk about my physical condition, except for the previous bacterial pneumonia, but this condition really scared me .

  Specifically, I will have a CT scan tomorrow. According to the symptoms, the lightest symptom is pulmonary edema. I hope it is not something so bad.
