A pile of materials was presented and placed in front of the judges. The entire jury consisted of four colonels. They were as serious as if they were fighting, and carefully read through the presented materials. Occasionally, they would ask questions to Chen Jun, Zhan Ge, Zhao Ping and others to verify and make judgments.

A morning passed like this.

After the jury had read all the materials, it was time to call witnesses. Ouyang Zhuo invited twenty witnesses from the countryside, including eight from the police and the other twelve from Zhao Ping's hometown.

Without coercion, these villagers told the truth. They said that Zhao Ping's wife Niu Jinhua abused the child, that she was fickle, and that she had an improper relationship with the victim Lei. Moreover, they were in a group, not just one person...

Captain Ouyang was awesome. The law enforcers he brought put aside their prejudices, brought along a forensic doctor, and provided drugs to frame Zhao Ping, which was a drug that knocked out Zhao Ping... All these witnesses and evidence pointed to one truth: Zhao Ping's family was framed, he himself was persecuted, and he was forced to resist and kill, otherwise, he would be the one to die!

Bang... The gavel struck heavily, and the people who had been waiting for half a year stopped talking. They knew that the final result came out.

"The verdict is now announced. Everyone please stand up."

After everyone stood up, the chief judge said solemnly: "In view of the materials, they corroborate each other and are sufficient to prove that Comrade Zhao Ping was persecuted and forced to kill. In addition, Comrade Zhao Ping himself had mental problems due to the death of his daughter Panpan, and he killed excessively. He was given a large amount of drugs that can knock him out, including Western medicine that affects the nerves. His behavior was abnormal during his mental breakdown... When Comrade Zhao Ping was being chased by the police, his out-of-control mind had not yet recovered, and he injured the police comrades. However, no deaths were caused, and he gave up resistance and voluntarily surrendered... Considering that Zhao Ping had caused a bad social impact and caused the loss of many lives, he should have been sentenced to death, but for many factors, plus his special identity, so..."

Having said this, the presiding judge paused and looked at Zhao Ping below.

"This military court has decided to activate special military regulations, which are called the Fifth Army Law."

The laws of the Fifth Unit... Zhao Ping, who had thought he was going to die, was stunned for a moment. Even though he was a soldier from the Fifth Unit, he had never heard of the laws of the Fifth Unit.

What law is this?

Everyone looked at the presiding judge in confusion, including Chen Jun, who had never heard of such a special law.

"The jurors and other witnesses may leave now. The confidential information that follows must not be disclosed."

As soon as these words were spoken, the guard stood up and drove out all the witnesses and some unimportant jurors, including the guard himself. After he left, he never came back. This shows how important this fifth special law is.

The people left at the scene were important personnel such as Chen Jun, as well as officers with higher ranks.

The presiding judge looked at everyone with a very serious look, and then spoke solemnly.

"The fifth special military law is used in wartime and can exempt death penalty. For criminal soldiers in special circumstances, they can be allowed to make meritorious contributions while serving their sentences and spend the rest of their lives in the army, serving the country. However..."

He paused and continued, "Criminals can be exempted, but soldiers will lose all their rights, including their political rights. They will be in the army their entire lives, and even after retirement, they will continue to live under surveillance. By then, Comrade Zhao Ping will have no name, no household registration, and everything he has in the world will be erased. Even if he dies on the battlefield, he will not be qualified as a martyr, nor will he receive any commendation or reward. All his current honors will be stripped away."

"Comrade Zhao Ping, you can make your own choice. Please think carefully and accept that Zhao Ping has died in the outside world."

Everyone looked at Zhao Ping, waiting for him to make a choice.
