The death penalty is the most serious punishment in the Interstellar Federation, and it is obviously not so easy to decide.On the day when the death penalty came out, Lochte's father, old Lochte, immediately filed a lawsuit and asked for a new trial. He was on his way to Pangu.

Old Lochte has always occupied the top five positions in the Federation's richest list, and is a pivotal figure in the Federation's economic circles. His only son was sentenced to prison, which is a major event related to the Federation's economy.The moment Lochte was convicted, the share price of the Lochte Group plummeted by 30%, and the entire ore development industry faced the risk of a complete reshuffle.

Of course Qiao Zihan knew the importance of Lochte, so he was shocked by such a hasty conviction.

The result of his blood test was "injected with psychic suppressants", that is to say, he was not injected with estrus inducers. Although all of them are prohibited, this at least proves the motive of Lochte's kidnapping to get him is not established.

Qiao Zihan was not the only one who thought this way, Chen Lang also exclaimed strangely.

"Collude with the people of Apo Star, attempted murder of the Federation Marshal? What about the evidence? What about the motives of the witnesses? Convicted without saying a fart, and the court of Pangu Star is too dark." Chen Lang shouted at Qiao Zihan full of righteous indignation, wishing he could go to court in person In defense of Lochte.

Qiao Zihan remained silent, frowning, losing interest in the fried dumplings in front of him.He did not attend the trial, but Ming Lei participated as the plaintiff, and he was still developing a press conference to deal with the reporters, so he was allowed to have lunch with Chen Lang.

In Qiao Zihan's mind, countless memories about Lochte surged. Even though he couldn't feel the love in those vows, he could see that Lochte was not a person who knew how to communicate with internal enemies and plan murder.

As a young master, Lochte would inevitably be self-willed and self-willed. Facing Qiao Zihan's sudden change, he overreacted several times, but he was not a person who would act recklessly.

On the contrary, Lochte, who grew up in a merchant family, is very good at weighing the pros and cons. The felony of colluding with the Apo Stars does not benefit him at all, and he will never do it.

"I have already received the subpoena for the first instance. Although I don't know what to ask, I will answer truthfully." Qiao Zihan said.

"Are you comforting me? Hey, you are his ex-boyfriend, and you are the one who should care about his life." Chen Lang was well-informed and had interviewed Lochte, who had some insight into Qiao Zihan and Lochte's past. A lot of understanding.

Qiao Zihan sighed helplessly: "I care about his life and death, but I can't do more."

Chen Lang looked at Qiao Zihan, and suddenly grinned, "Why can't you do more, come on, I'll teach you."

Qiao Zihan frowned suspiciously, but he still couldn't resist the temptation to help Lochte and leaned forward.

When Ming Lei came back, Qiao Zihan was already waiting for him in the hotel room, and ordered food in the restaurant, and asked the waiter to deliver the food when Ming Lei came back.

"Didn't eat dinner, I've ordered it." Qiao Zihan said cheerfully.

Ming Lei raised his eyebrows, showing a half-smile, "Where is this acting? I don't believe you didn't see the verdict."

Qiao Zihan choked for a moment. At noon, Chen Lang taught him to coax Ming Lei into getting drunk, and then asked Ming Lei if he was behind the scenes.Although Qiao Zihan felt that this method was a bit nonsense, but under the bewitchment of Chen Lang's "just trying", he still planned to use it, but he didn't expect to reveal his secret in an instant.

"I just want to know what happened in the trial, why Lochte was convicted." Qiao Zihan asked directly.

"Oh, you want to know about my rival in love, that dinner is not enough." Ming Lei said, stepped forward to hug Qiao Zihan, kissed the tip of Qiao Zihan's nose, "You need a big dinner all night."

Qiao Zihan's face was a little hot when he was told, but in order to get first-hand information, he followed Ming Lei and said, "Tell me, I... I'm full."

Ming Lei laughed twice, put his arms around Qiao Zihan's waist, dragged him to the sofa, and sat down with Qiao Zihan in his arms.

"Actually, it's nothing, it's just that someone wants Lochte to die." Ming Lei said.

"Who?" Qiao Zihan asked.

"Those who want to be a mining tycoon, the competitors of the Lochette Group, who don't want his family to go down." Ming Lei said as a matter of course.

"You mean, someone cooperated with the Apo Stars and purposely wronged Lochte?" Qiao Zihan suddenly realized.

"That's right, the main planet has been destroyed, and Qingxi is obviously trying to gather the remnants of Star Apo, so supplies are bound to be needed. It's normal to do some private work in exchange for supplies," Ming Lei said.

"Private work? You mean, this kidnapping, and the last attack, are private work?" Qiao Zihan was a little confused again.

"I think that the attack is not private work, but the losses suffered in the attack need to be supplemented by private work." Ming Lei said.

Qiao Zihan stared at Ming Lei, and felt that this guess was extremely accurate, but there was a loophole, "Then how can you be sure that Qingxi didn't take the private job from Lochte? Maybe when Lochte finds someone to do this job , I didn’t know that it was the Apo Stars who took over.”

Ming Lei laughed again. He reached out and pinched Qiao Zihan's nose, and jokingly said, "Why does it feel like our positions are reversed?"

Qiao Zihan was stunned. Indeed, he hoped that Lochte was innocent. Now that Ming Lei gave him an explanation of Lochte's innocence, why did he start to question it instead.

"If this incident was planned by Lochte, then he will definitely prepare more evidence for himself to prove his innocence. Not only did he fail to make these preparations, but he also met Qingxi in the hotel, leaving behind the most important evidence in this case. If he is not wronged, then he is hopelessly stupid." Ming Lei said.

Qiao Zihan heard the key point and hurriedly asked, "Did you meet Qingxi at the hotel? When?"

"There is a hotel in the UYR-09 mining area, which is owned by the Lochte Group, and it is very close to Pangu. The surveillance in the corridor of the hotel recorded Qingxi walking into his room," Ming Lei said.

"Are they discussing kidnapping me in the room?" Qiao Zihan asked.

"No, there is no surveillance in the room, and the privacy of the guests must always be taken care of," Ming Lei said.

Qiao Zihan remained silent. This kind of evidence is indeed relatively strong. No matter what he talked with Qingxi, as long as he met, he could be convicted of collaborating with enemies inside and outside.

Ming Lei asked in a deep voice: "Speaking of which, have you received a subpoena for the first instance?"

Qiao Zihan nodded quickly. Although the court's judgment was unpopular, the efficiency of the court was commendable.A set of procedures from the second trial to the first trial was completed quickly, the subpoena was sent to Qiao Zihan's mailbox, and the press conference for the second trial was not over yet.

Ming Lei rubbed Qiao Zihan's hair, and said with some displeasure, "I hope this matter has nothing to do with you."

Qiao Zihan didn't feel anything, so he stroked Shunminglei's hair, and said helplessly, "How could it have nothing to do with me, I should be the plaintiff."

Qiao Zihan wanted to participate in the first trial. He wanted to try to clear Lochte of his charges, at least tell the truth in his opinion.It's a pity that the other party didn't accept his favor at all, and the defendant's lawyer questioned him as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Qiao Zihan, according to the federal law, all people with supernatural powers must report to the local police station, and accept the supernatural power rating and management, otherwise it will be treated as a crime of endangering social security." The defendant's lawyer stared at Qiao Zihan coldly, his tone seemed Manually reminded, there is no fluctuation, and artificial intelligence is more cadenced than him.

Qiao Zihan prepared for half a month, thinking about what to say in court, but he was not prepared for this question.

"Lawyer, whether Qiao Zihan legally registered his abilities seems to be beyond the scope of this court's trial." Ming Lei said.He was sitting in the plaintiff's seat. Although Qiao Zihan was kidnapped, it was Ming Lei who was trying to murder, so Ming Lei was defined as the plaintiff.

"Of course, if he has a criminal record, then I will doubt the authenticity of his testimony." The defendant's lawyer said.

Qiao Zihan stared at the defendant's lawyer and Lochte in the dock, showing strange expressions. He came here to help them. Why did they pose like this?

Lochte sat on the dock with his head slightly lowered, not looking at the situation on the field, looking tired and haggard.

"He didn't register because of me. I have brain wave abilities. Isn't it normal for him to have brain wave communication with me? So he ignored his own brain wave abilities." Ming Lei made up nonsense without shame.

Of course, Qiao Zihan didn't ignore his ability, he just didn't think of registering it, or in other words, he didn't want to register, and he didn't want anyone except Ming Lei to know his ability.

"Ming Shuai, you are so thorough in your endorsement, do you still need Qiao Zihan?" the defendant's lawyer sneered.

"If you don't need it, I can leave." Qiao Zihan also lost his temper for a while, and said lightly.

"Yes, I need your answer." Lochte said suddenly. He raised his head and looked straight at Qiao Zihan with inexplicable sadness in his eyes.

"Now is not the time for you to chat, please respect the court." The judge said, interrupting these informal conversations.

The defendant's lawyer did not continue to embarrass Qiao Zihan, and finally began to ask questions related to the case, and Qiao Zihan answered them truthfully.The trial went very smoothly, and it sounded like Lochte was indeed a victim, but when the verdict came, the jury talked endlessly and refused to issue a formal verdict.

Qiao Zihan sat back in the spectator seat after answering the question, and was no longer qualified to say anything.He frowned slightly, always feeling that the atmosphere in the courtroom became dull, and everyone's faces were extremely heavy.

"This is the weirdest trial I've ever participated in." Chen Lang, who was sitting next to Qiao Zihan, whispered.

Qiao Zihan glanced at Chen Lang, and the uneasiness in his heart increased. He said with a little self-comfort, "In short, don't doubt Ming Lei anymore. Ming Lei also thinks that Lochte is innocent."

Chen Lang twitched his lips and said, "Let's make a bet. If the original sentence is upheld, you agree with me. If the original sentence is overturned and Lochte is not guilty, I agree with you."

"Stop making trouble, you can still bet if you agree with this kind of thing?" Qiao Zihan said helplessly.

Just a few minutes after the two chatted quietly, the jury finally made a judgment and submitted the result to the judge.

The judge nodded, looked around, and said solemnly, "The original judgment is upheld."
