The day I was forced to be a detective pendant

Xiang Wuzheng woke up three days later, but neither I nor Bian Yao were in the hospital at that time, but were waiting for myself to be summoned as a witness in a mysterious building on a private property three hundred kilometers away .In the past few days, the association where the ability users of the three camps belong together is adjudicating Jing Xiao's case. Naturally, I have never participated in a similar process, and I only know that it is a judicial system independent of the current judicial system.Bian Yao explained that there are many capable people who hold important legislative and judicial positions in this world, which leads to a lot of conceptual overlap between the two systems in the inner and outer worlds. More differences emerged.We are not entitled to participate in the whole process, just waiting to be called in to ask a few words if need be.

It was a high temperature of more than 30 degrees outside, but the interior of this heavy ancient building was shady and cool. Bian Yao and I were wearing quite formal suits and sat side by side on a wooden bench in the hall.

"I'm a little hungry," I said in a low voice, so as not to echo in the high and empty hall, "but I'm a little nervous."

"En," Bian Yao said, "Why don't we go to eat first and ask us to come back?"

"Farewell, just wait a little longer."

We have been sitting in the hallway for two hours, and our mobile phones were confiscated when we entered the door. It was really boring.I put my hands behind my back and looked up at the murals on the vault. The content on it seemed to be a plot-a king stood on the throne, with a balance hanging above his head, and a young man kneeling in front of him.In the next picture, the young man was separated from his family. The king held the sword in one hand and hugged the young man's body in the other, with a painful expression on his face.

WTF?

Out of the corner of my eye, I caught sight of a dark shadow, retracted my chin, and saw a man with a serious face standing in front of me.

I:"?"

The man said: "Please enter the arena, both of you."

The double wooden doors trimmed with brass were tall and heavy, and when they were pushed open, we were faced with a long passageway flanked by tall wooden partitions.After walking two steps forward, I realized that the partitions on both sides are actually the sides of stepped seats—the entire venue is a sunken conference hall, and everyone is sitting on top of our heads, in a dark, looking down. Contempt, even contempt for us.

The depression in the center of the hall is a platform directly lit by overhead lights. In the center of the open space is a sturdy iron chair, on which sits Jing Xiao with a pale complexion and sunken cheeks.His wrists and ankles were immobilized, and he was sunk in the chair, and the bandages could still be seen at the open collar.It's only been a few days since I've seen him, and he's already withered, almost hanging on to his life.

I raised my head against the light, all the spotlights were on us, all the indifferent eyes were hidden in the darkness above my head, carrying silent weight and oppression.

Seeing us entering the arena, Jing Xiao just glanced at us lightly, then looked away without interest, and the same was true for the people on the rostrum—a row of people sat on the high platform facing the hall with their backlighting, like a row of big people. Judge.The woman who was speaking in the middle didn't pay any attention to my arrival, and continued the previous topic.

"This incident caused 147 minor injuries and 2 serious injuries on the cruise ship, and exposed our existence to the monkeys, seriously violating Article [-] of the agreement..."

"What does it have to do with me?" Jing Xiao said in a hoarse voice, "It is Chu Mianyue and Fan Wujiu who were exposed."

I didn't expect to be annoyed by him less than a minute after entering the door-why is this guy so shameless.

Fortunately, the woman on the rostrum also said: "If you didn't cause trouble deliberately and put the lives of the entire ship in danger, how could they..."

"There are more than 1000 monkeys. If they die, they will die. What's the big deal?" Jing Xiao interrupted him again, "Besides, none of them died."

His violent words immediately caused a rustling discussion in the venue, and the woman on the rostrum cleared her throat: "Silence."

She continued to read Jing Xiao's criminal evidence, looking back from the recent past: "You don't just ignore the life of monkeys, in order to enhance your own abilities, you even use young children as experiments..."

When I heard the first sentence, I felt awkward, but when I heard the second sentence, I immediately understood why Bian Yao was called in.

"What experiment, evidence?" Jing Xiao lazily responded.

"Don't think that if you destroy all the laboratories, we won't have any evidence in our hands, there are too many physical witnesses." She said this, and the man who asked us to enter the door came up from the corner, holding a thick bag in his hand. A stack of documents was handed to Jing Xiao.Jing Xiao's hands were tied, and the man turned the pages for him, but he turned less than ten pages, and Jing Xiao stopped the beginning: "Enough."

The woman on the trial seat continued: "These materials were all sent to the committee by your subordinate Xiang Wuzheng a week ago. The evidence is convincing. There are more than forty pages in the appendix of the journal account alone, including the documents you privately obtained for the experiment. All kinds of funds misappropriated by the office, as well as expenditure records..."

A week ago, I thought to myself—isn’t that just before Xiang Wuzheng boarded the ship?Could it be that he had already planned to go and never return.

"Misappropriation? Misappropriation!?" Jing Xiao said angrily, "Among these materials, are there any approval documents for the initial establishment of the laboratory? I don't think so. Right, Mr. Zhou? I remember clearly Whose signature is there, written in black and white on it..."

"Full of nonsense!" Another man on the rostrum yelled loudly. My eyes have adapted to the light in the room at this moment, and I saw a silver-haired old man shouting at Jing Xiao. It is very difficult to mess with.

"Don't allow you to talk nonsense about groundless things, Jing Xiao, if you fall down today, you have to admit it, don't blame others, and don't engage in unnecessary struggles. When you struggle, you dirty other people's clothes, and you are the only one who is unlucky. "

What he said was almost a naked threat. I followed him and looked at the people in the entire row of judges. There were eight people in total, including men and women. What surprised me most was that Bian Yao's father instant.He sat second from the left with a blank expression, like a bystander, watching all this indifferently.The temperament of the whole person is completely strange, full of oppression.I couldn't help but look back at Bian Yao, but he didn't seem surprised.

Another man in a Chinese tunic suit said: "Not to mention that you started biological experiments in an inhumane way. The purpose is to pollute the bloodline with medicines, violate the laws of natural attributes, and want to artificially synthesize a 'dragon'! This idea is not only absurd, it is simply Acting against the sky! No wonder you are now physically deformed, mentally unstable, and even committing such a massacre-like madness."

Jing Xiao rolled his eyes, and couldn't understand a word of his cliché, he laughed nervously: "You cowards, I just helped you try what you want to try, and helped you do it. That’s all you dare to do! Open your eyes wide and take a good look. Among the eight high-ranking members of the council, three of them can always be present because, and only because, they are from the Dragon Blood family. The rest of you People, do you have no objection to this?"

His last sentence was not only directed at the eight people in the trial seat, but also directed at the people in the hall.But at this moment, the audience, who were always whispering small things, were completely silent under such a question.

"That's enough, take this lunatic away." The old man waved his hand.

The middle-aged woman on the main seat regained the opportunity to speak: "Then based on the summary of various evidences, I propose the following punishment on behalf of the association: For the criminal Jing Xiao, a fine of 9 million yuan and deprivation of personal liberty for 17 years will be arranged by the association. The venue is under house arrest..."

"[-] million?!"

"17?!"

I and many people in the venue were startled, but at this moment another loud and clear male voice came in.

"Wait," Bian Shun said, "Reject."

The woman said, "I haven't finished reading yet."

Bian Shun: "Reject."

Woman: "This is the punishment resolution that was discussed in the meeting yesterday, and it won more than half of the votes in the meeting..."

Bian Shun: "Reject."

The woman fell silent.

The people at the table looked left and right, and looked at each other, not knowing how to proceed for a while.

"Ha, cough cough, ha ha ha ha..."

"I see that you are all struggling," Jing Xiao laughed, "Let me kindly help you. The matter has come to this point, it's okay to tell you, yes, it's me, it's all me."

"Bian Shun, I captured your son. I still remember that although he was only thirteen or fourteen years old at the time, it took me a lot of effort to clean him up. Because his blood and bone marrow were to be drawn, I didn't take care of him at first. Without giving him medicine, this kid resisted so much every day that he had to nail all his hamstrings. But the so-called noble and mysterious dragon blood will turn into ordinary blood within a few hours after leaving the host. It was impossible to carry out further extraction and refining. So then I thought, it would be better to test it directly on him, the freshest blood source body. And besides his regular successor of dragon blood, there happened to be another A mutant successor of the Dragon genus, exactly two were used for a control experiment."

"The child was so pitiful at that time. He had a high fever and inflammation every day, but antibiotics would affect the effect of the medicine, so I had to ask him to endure it. But unexpectedly, he ran away under such circumstances Ordinarily, if he ran away honestly, it would be fine if he insisted on turning back to save others, and finally turned himself into a useless person. But in other words, if he hadn't run away at the beginning, you wouldn't even see your son's body, He will be lost forever, and you have no chance to find me today."

Jing Xiao calmly explained all kinds of cruel experiment details, I was angry from the heart, but Bian Yao pressed my arm with his backhand: "Don't get excited, he did it on purpose."

"Are you finished?" Bian Jian asked coldly.

Jing Xiao put away his smile and frowned: "17 years in prison? You're not satisfied with the result, are you? Kill me Bian Shun, if you have the guts, kill me."

Bian Shun narrowed his eyes dangerously and said nothing.

"In that case, let me join this party too." Bian Yao suddenly spoke loudly to break the silence.

At the table, a man with a foreign appearance and simultaneous interpretation headphones said displeasedly: "You cannot speak without permission!"

Bian Yao glanced at him, and replied disdainfully in English: "Ican, and Iwill."

"Otherwise, why did you call us here? Are you watching a dog-blood TV series?" He turned half a circle in place, his eyes swept over everyone in the table, "This trial plot is not only boring, but also lagging behind." He took the book The evidence shook in his hand, and then he threw it on Jing Xiao: "All of this may be new to many of you, but I have already watched this episode, and I have watched it many times. years."

"I have personally witnessed living body experiments, killing games, animal cruelty, campus drugs, illegal filming and reselling of pornographic videos, and countless attempted murders. This stack of materials records only one of them. Adding these things together, if you think that a fine and a comfortable house arrest are enough, it may not be a joke to spread the word. The association has established countless restrictive regulations over the years, it is better to burn them."

"And," Bian Yao sneered, "since you chose to sacrifice him to take the blame, if you don't act harder, how can you let some uncles and aunts on the field get rid of their relationship completely to prove your innocence? Take ten thousand steps back Say, if this guy makes a comeback in the future, do you think he will be the first to come to revenge on me? Or did he make trouble today..."

The discussion in the audience had already overwhelmed Bian Yao's voice, and the woman slammed the gavel wildly, "Get out of this brat who knows nothing!"

Bian Shun raised his hand and shouted loudly: "Enough!"

The audience was silent for a moment, and he glared at Bian Yao: "Shut up, too!"

Bian Yao shrugged, took a step aside, and stopped talking.

Bian Shun looked down at Jing Xiao, and said word by word: "The fine and house arrest are indeed too cheap for you, but the death you want to pursue is also too cheap for you. You don't deserve to live, and you don't deserve to die."

"All of Jing Xiao's property was confiscated and used for the redistribution of the association's administrative and maintenance expenses and compensation for the victims. He was deprived of freedom, political rights, and spiritual abilities for life, and was imprisoned in the Zixing Prison with S-type specifications for life."

Based on the reactions of the audience, I probably understand that this Zixing Prison is not a good place.

"Anyone who disagrees, raise it now, or shut up forever."

Bian Shun tapped the gavel three times, but no one refuted.Jing Xiao's face became paler and paler: "You useless coward, why don't you dare to kill me, why don't you dare to kill me!"

He struggled desperately on the iron chair, the bandage on his chest was bleeding, but it was of no avail.Under the silent gaze of the audience, he was carried away by two staff members while yelling and cursing.

Bian Shun finally separated half of Bian Yao's eyes from me: "You can go too."

"Wait a minute." The silver-haired old man named Master Zhou stopped him, "Since everyone is here, let's talk." He stared at me across the darkness: "The heir of the real dragon soul, what should we do next."

As soon as he said this, I immediately took a deep breath, and my hairs stood on end.Although many people know about the rebirth of the real dragon in a small area, it is not public information. The whole audience was so noisy that even batting with a mallet was useless.

"What do you mean, Dragon?"

"A real dragon? Isn't it a legend?"

"Isn't it just a monkey?"

"It's fake, the Dragon Blood family will do these things, is it disgusting?"

"Isn't it a spiritual deed? Why did the real dragon return to their family again?"

All kinds of complicated voices drilled into my mind.

"Don't think that your family found the dragon first, so you can take him as your own!" said another woman who had never said a word—she was obviously one of the people who knew the inside story early on, and her words immediately aroused people's attention. There was a second opinion on the court.

Bian Shun: "Absurd, what did you find? This child only awakened the dragon soul after forming a spiritual bond with my son. If not, in front of most of you, he is just another monkey."

"We didn't participate in those processes either, whatever you want to say! This is now, and the rebirth of the Dragon Soul is not just for fun. First, we have to verify the authenticity, and second, we have to decide whether to stay or not."

to stay?I'm confused, how do I go?For whom?

I couldn't help leaning closer to Bian Yao, feeling like a guinea pig on a lab bench.

"That's right!" Many people on the field booed.

"And how could it be such a coincidence that his spirit bond happens to be your son? We all know what your son has gone through, and if it wasn't for the real dragon, it would be impossible to re-engage the bond! You have put a lot of thought into this, right?"

Bian Shun glanced at the speaker lightly: "So, what do you want to do?"

The man was at a loss for words.

Bian Shun cleared his throat without using any force, but the venue miraculously quieted down automatically.

"Since I have come to this point, I will be honest and honest today. That's right, this child is indeed a monkey, and he is indeed the heir to the soul of the real dragon. I don't know the reason why the Dragon God chose this way. No one will know. It has been thousands of years, if we imagine that we have come close to the truth about the origin of dragon power, then you and I are deluding ourselves. Jing Xiao will not do all kinds of harmful things. In the end, not only is there no dragon power If it is copied, it will only end up like this.”

"I know that some people here are not malicious to dragons and dragons, but are always obsessed. Please be bold and sit in your seat." When he said this, his eyes deliberately stayed on his left and right and on the seats off the court. For a moment, "I am announcing in my own name and in the name of the entire North District that if anything happens to my son or the kid next to me, Jing Xiao's fate will be a lesson for the past. I will not be as good as I am today." Patience, what kind of judgment game are you playing with everyone. There are many ways to make life worse than death, and I will do it myself at that time, so you can do it yourself."
