Veteran

The information of Cao Hai and Pang Heyuan was quickly checked. Because they are public figures, their information can be found on the government's public website.The judge paused, then looked at Cheng Xiu: "The plaintiff, please verify the information."

From the auditorium to the judges, everyone's breathing seemed to be subconsciously lightened.

"Lin Ying, male, born on August 881, 8..."

Cheng Xiu listened expressionlessly, tapped the table with his right hand subconsciously, and waited until the other party had finished reporting, and then said leisurely: "My original name is Cheng Xiu, but I still prefer this name. Everything else is fine."

The judge asked: "Do both parties have any objections to the other party's appearance in court? If there is no objection, then the next step..."

"I have!" Cao Hai pointed with his right hand to Cao Yu, who was sitting on the side of the plaintiff's seat. "He is also a descendant of the Cao family and belongs to the defendant. He has a conflict of interest with the plaintiff, so he should not be present."

Cao Huang raised his hand, and after the judge agreed, he stood up calmly: "I am a witness."

Cao Hai pointed at him, and was about to curse, when he said calmly: "The defendant is the Cao family, not a specific person. In order to ensure the smooth progress of the trial, I suggest that the Cao family send another representative who is rational, sober and calm. to replace the emotional one."

Cao Hai slapped the table hard, but instead it made a crisp sound like a high five.He looked down and found that it was Pang Heyuan who put his hand underneath.

Pang Heyuan nodded and smiled at the judge.

The judge said to Cao Tong: "Attention witnesses, your duty in the trial is to state the facts and truths you know about the case, and the suggestion of the defendant is not within the scope of your duty."

Cao Yu sat down with a smile.

The judge said: "Since both parties have no objection to who will appear in court, I announce that Lin Ying will be the plaintiff, and the United States of Stars and Cao Xie will be the defendants. Since Cao Xie passed away many years ago, the descendants of the Cao family will appear in court on their behalf. "

Cheng Xiu froze for a moment, then looked at Cao Yu in surprise.

Cao Yu smiled.

After asking about some basic matters, the judge said, "Now, the plaintiff will read the indictment."

Before Cheng Xiu got up, Cao Yu said, "I will read for him."

"Wait." Cheng Xiu looked at him meaningfully, "Although I'm old, I'm still not dizzy. I'll read this indictment by myself." There are electronic screens in front of the judge, the defendant's seat, and the plaintiff's seat. The indictment has appeared in front of him.He looked at the text on the electronic screen word by word, his expression getting colder and colder.

When facing Cao Hai, the calmness and calmness had disappeared from Cao Yu.His sitting posture was inconvenient, but it was much stiffer than before.

Seeing Cheng Xiu's silence for a long time, the judge reminded: "The plaintiff, please read the complaint."

Cheng Xiu raised her hand and suddenly turned off the electronic screen.

There was an uproar.

If it weren't for the fact that the court cannot use any form of aerial photography, the media in the public gallery would like to fly the cameraman carrying the camera out.

"Silence!" The judge pressed the button on the table.

The melodious music sounded, and the noise stopped one after another.

The judge turned off the music and said, "I hope the plaintiff can explain what he just did."

Cheng Xiu turned a blind eye to Cao Tong's anxious eyes, looked at the dock calmly, or just looked at the front: "The indictment is too long, I am tired of reading it, and everyone sounds annoying. In summary, it is 100 Years ago, I was assassinated and died. However, the government at the time used my body for a resurrection experiment for ulterior motives.”

The auditorium was in an uproar again.

The judge had to play music again to maintain order, and after everyone was quiet, he said: "The plaintiff, please continue."

Cheng Xiu said, "What I want to say has been..."

"As a party involved, the defendant has some difficult words to say, so let me finish. The experiment took a long time and exceeded expectations. Therefore, the initiator of the experiment... is the real defendant today—Cao Xie," Cao Yu dared not look at Cheng Xiu's complexion, he said slowly to the judge, "A secret base has been established in the beautiful galaxy Chang'e, so that this experiment can continue underground. As you can see, this experiment was successful. After a hundred years, Cheng Xiu reappeared In front of the public, but this is not what he wants. Maybe many people will think, what's so bad about rebirth? You can live again. However, no matter how many benefits of rebirth, it is neither Lin Ying nor Cheng Xiu's will .During this incident, he was a subject and a victim! The only good news is that when he regained consciousness, all the murderers who persecuted him had passed away, and he was free."

The judge said: "As a witness, your speech has exceeded your duty and has too much subjective color. I am obliged to remind you that it will be against your testimony. I hope you can restrain yourself. It is inconvenient to read part of the pleadings, and the prosecution lawyers will be asked to supplement."

At this moment, Cao Yu turned to look at Cheng Xiu, but only saw the back of his head, so he couldn't help but sat down with a wry smile.

The prosecution lawyer succinctly summarized the rest of the indictment—accusing the government and Cao Xie of conducting illegal experiments on Lin Ying.

The judge said: "Now the defendant is asked to read out the statement of defense. Since there are two defendants, the first defendant is the government, and the second defendant is Cao Xie. First, the first defendant is asked to read."

Pang Heyuan got up and greeted the auditorium first: "Mr. President, like me, was qualified to be a defendant not long ago, which is far less than the history of this case. Adhering to Xingguo's consistent principle of fairness and openness, we have reservations. .”

His attitude was already within Cao Yu's expectation.

When Cao Xie was chief of staff, the ruling party was the Times Progressive Party. Logically speaking, he could completely change the defendant from the government to the Times Progressive Party.It's just that in this way, the influence is much smaller, and it is easy to concentrate the conflict on Lin Ying and Cao Xie, turning it into a personal grievance, which is not good for Cheng Xiu.

But the next Cao Hai will never act like Pang Heyuan has nothing to do with him.

Sure enough, the electronic screen was crowded with words.

Cao Hai stood up and, like Pang Heyuan, greeted the surroundings. At this moment, he seemed to have woken up from the initial impulse, and recovered the calmness and calmness that a patriarch of an aristocratic family should have.However, when his eyes swept over Chengxiu and Cao Guan, there was still an unconcealable resentment.

"I think everyone here has heard of Cao Xie and Cao Qi, but have you heard of Cao Guangyong, Cao Zhefei, and Cao Yuan? They are famous mathematicians, physicists, and medical scientists, and they are also members of the Cao family. Over hundreds of years of history..."

Cao Hai boasted about the glory of the Cao family for hundreds of years, but never mentioned the connection between Cao Xie and this case. The judge couldn't help reminding him three times before he asked the question at the end: "What I want to say Yes, when Lin Ying sat in the public and cried about the unfair treatment of him, the person he cried about could no longer come forward to refute. We are not the parties involved, and we cannot restore [-]% what happened back then. We What I heard was a one-sided statement from the mouth of the so-called party. The deceased is dead, and I hope everyone will not let the deceased have no peace under the Nine Springs!"

Sitting behind Cao Yu, Zhao Yuanzhu leaned forward slightly, and said in a low voice, "I can assure you, the last sentence is probably the most educated sentence he has ever said in his life."

The judge said: "Combining the statements of both parties, I think the key point of this case is whether there is enough evidence to prove that Lin Ying's resurrection was an act of the government back then and that the main messenger was Cao Xie."

Cheng Xiu looked at the judge with pity.It is not easy to sum up such a reliable key point from two paragraphs of nonsense and one paragraph that is too lazy to say nonsense.

"The plaintiffs are now invited to present their evidence," the judge said.

Cao Yu nodded to the lawyer beside him, and a scanned document appeared on the electronic screen.

The prosecution lawyer stood up and said, "There are tens of thousands of pages of raw material. In order to avoid the inconvenience of reading, I have simplified it a bit, and it has as many as a hundred pages. There is no way, after all, the formation of this material spanned a century. Listen At this point, everyone should be able to guess what the content of this document is, right? Yes, it records my client, the plaintiff Lin Ying, from death to life."
