Rebirth 76: Industrial Internet Empire

"I think the choice of everyone here, except for the prosecution lawyer, should be the same as mine. They rush forward without hesitation and fight with the knife-wielding kidnappers for their lives! This is not even a choice, but a man's instinct! I want to ask you, here In a life-and-death struggle, would you judge which parts are the vital parts that cannot be hit? To be honest, I can't! Although 17 years have passed, I still clearly remember that there was only one thought in my mind at that time, that is Fight with them and use your life to protect your lover..."

Yang Mo paused and then continued: "The prosecution lawyer also deliberately forgot the fact that this was not the first time Xu Xiaohu attempted sexual assault on this female educated youth. A few months ago, Xu Xiaohu had been a member of the Revolutionary Committee of the North Shore Commune when he was Xu Mingyuan, the uncle of the association director, intended to commit sexual assault at his home. Fortunately, all the male educated youths in our educated youth center arrived in time and survived. Such a scumbag deserves to die ten thousand times!"

"Defendant, so in your subjective consciousness, you hope to get it over with and put Xu Xiaohu to death, right? You only need to answer yes or no!" Luo Yuanshan asked with ulterior motives.

Lin Xi was about to stop him when Yang Mo gritted his teeth and said, "Yes! This bastard Xu Xiaohu deserves to die. If time goes back, I will still rush forward without hesitation..."

"Your Honor! I object to the prosecution lawyer deliberately setting up questioning traps to guide my client's emotions!" Lin Xi protested.

"Your Honor, whether the defendant had the subjective intention to kill my client is the key to the characterization of this case. My questions were simple and clear, without any rhetorical traps!" Luo Yuanshan argued.

The presiding judge pondered for a moment and then said: "The defense lawyer's protest is invalid. The prosecution lawyer can continue to ask questions."

"Defendant, according to our visit and investigation, the victim Xu Xiaohu is a disabled person who has lost part of the function of his left foot, so you, who are strong, quickly took control of the situation and stabbed the opponent five times in the vital part, each time It can kill people, are you venting the hatred in your heart?" Luo Yuanshan continued to ask.

"Your Honor, I object! The prosecution lawyer is inducing my client to give an emotional answer!" Lin Xi continued to protest.

The presiding judge nodded and said: "Defendant, you don't have to answer this question raised by the prosecution lawyer! Prosecution lawyer, please pay attention to how you ask questions!"

"Your Honor, Xu Xiaohu only suffered a slight fracture in his left foot in the last attempted sexual assault case, leaving a little weird walking sequelae. It does not affect most of his behavioral abilities. Moreover, Xu Xiaohu has been driving a tractor for a long time. Working in the fields and driving on the muddy roads in the countryside require a good body. The Xu Xiaohu brothers were able to run rampant in the countryside not only by relying on the power of their fathers, but also by their own strength. After his first sexual assault attempt, During the case, I was also the first to arrive at the scene. During the fight with Xu Xiaohu, I was completely at a disadvantage and was subdued by him within a few minutes..." Yang Mo stated.

The first trial ended in a heated argument between the two parties, and the debate at the trial also appeared on the front pages of major media around the world.

A more intense stage of proof and cross-examination is about to begin, and both the prosecution and defense have invested more manpower and material resources in investigations and visits.

The public opinion war has also officially begun. In a series of reports by Xiangjiang Commercial Daily, Xu Mingquan's image of a low-level farmer and Xu Xiaohu's identity as a disabled person were perfectly rendered with Spring and Autumn style, setting the rhythm abruptly.

On December 12, the second trial began, and Lin Yan, the most critical witness in the case, appeared in court to be questioned by both the prosecution and the defense.

Lin Yan stepped onto the witness stand, clenched his fist with his right hand, and began to solemnly swear: I, Lin Yan, sincerely declare and state the facts truthfully. I guarantee with my personality and conscience that I will faithfully fulfill my obligation to testify under the law and guarantee to state the truth. There is nothing concealed. What I said is all the facts and there is absolutely no lies.

"Witness Lin Yan, on the evening of May 1976, 5, did you go to Xu Mingyuan's dormitory building in the Bei'an Commune compound in Annan County?" Lin Xi stood up and asked.

"Yes, Xu Xiaohu asked someone to send me a message saying that the recommended quota for workers, peasants and soldiers college students has been allocated to the commune..." Lin Yan replied.

"You truthfully state what happened to the court!" Lin Xi continued.

Lin Yan had a look of pain on his face. After a brief daze, he mustered up the courage to say: "When I came to the home of Xu Mingyuan, director of the Commune Revolutionary Committee, Xu Mingyuan's uncle and nephew were drinking in the outer room. Xu Mingyuan took out a card from Annan County The recommendation letter from a worker, peasant, and soldier college student told me: This is the only recommendation quota in Annan County, and it is given to Bei'an Commune. As long as I agree to his conditions, this quota will be mine..."

"What conditions?" Lin Xi asked.

"Let me agree to marry his nephew Xu Xiaohu!" Lin Yan said.

"Did you agree?" Lin Xi continued to ask.

"No, after I refused, Xu Xiaohu came up and started to move. When I was about to turn around and leave, Xu Xiaohu hugged me and wanted to pull me into the back room. I struggled desperately to escape but failed, and then used his hand Hold on to the window lattice..." After many years, when describing this nightmare-like past, Lin Yan's expression was less fearful and more humiliating and angry!

"What is Xu Mingyuan doing at this time?" Lin Xi asked coldly.

"As soon as Xu Xiaohu moved his hands and feet, Xu Mingyuan opened the door and walked out! Just when I was exhausted and about to be unable to hold on, Ren Jie broke through the door and rushed in. He struggled with Xu Xiaohu and could only hold on. In five minutes, Ren Jie was pinned down by Xu Xiaohu and couldn't move. Fortunately, other male educated youths from the Educated Youth Point rushed over and saved us..." Lin Yan continued.

"What happened next? Didn't you call the police?" Lin Xi asked.

Lin Yan had a complicated expression on his face and sighed: "At first, no one came despite my desperate calls. After Xu Xiaohu was subdued, Xu Mingyuan led the police officers to arrive. Xu Xiaohu and Ren Jie Because my husband and I were injured, we were sent to the commune health center, and the male educated youths who rescued me were all arrested by the public security officers and locked up..."

"How were you released later?" Lin Xi asked.

"At that time, the rule of law in our country was still very imperfect. Xu Mingyuan, the director of the Revolutionary Committee, almost dominated the North Bank Commune. The male educated youth who rescued me was classified as a mass brawl. Later, Xu Mingyuan's perverse behavior angered all the educated youth around Annan County. The educated youth People rushed to Bei'an Commune to express support, and the public security organs had to release all the educated youth!" Lin Yan said.

"What about Xu Xiaohu? Didn't he receive criminal punishment for the attempted rape?" Lin Xi asked.
