Chapter 143 I declare

In the very pleasant "beep" sound after ignoring the lyrics, the public trial of the killer whale grandpa's wounding case began.

The scene of this trial, which has cross-age significance, is very simple.

Mr. Justice—Gu Zheng patted his clothes, and sat gracefully on the ground in front of the truck, facing the front of the truck, surrounded by 150 jurors in a circle, all sitting on the floor.

Those who didn't know thought that the bastard boss of some factory ran away with his sister-in-law, and the workers, led by the foreman, gathered around the car to ask for salary.

Sergeant Liu stood aside and turned on his law enforcement recorder.

"Gentlemen and ladies," Gu Zheng took out a pack of beef jerky from his pocket, grabbed a handful himself, and distributed the rest to the jurors: "Before the trial, please follow me to swear an oath."

The jurors had just escaped a life-and-death catastrophe, and they happened to be hungry. While eating beef jerky, they followed Gu Zheng and said, "I swear that I will make a verdict based on the true circumstances of the case, and draw conclusions based entirely on the evidence provided by the court. Handle the case strictly in accordance with the law, and will never be affected by anything other than the court."

"The oath is complete." Gu Zheng said.

"Okay, let's call the first witness for the prosecution... In view of the reality that the prosecution has all run away, let's skip this and call the witness for the defense directly."

"Wait." Sergeant Liu stepped forward seriously, interrupting the judge's very obvious deflection.

He took out photos taken by his colleagues and described to the jurors the manner of death and autopsy results of the three members of the mysterious organization, impartially.

"Okay, the defense witnesses can now appear." After the jurors had a private discussion, Gu Zheng said.

This time no one came forward to stop it.

Su Che stood out from the crowd.

He doesn't have the videos and photos like Sergeant Liu as evidence in his hand, maybe there are dozens of sea miles away in the submarine, but Su Che doesn't want to let everyone watch what happened in that cold laboratory.

He said: "I swear, what I said today is not false."

"What I'm going to tell is a true story."

The beginning of the story is told in the crystal-clear waters of the North Ocean, from a two-year-old juvenile killer whale to the animal star of Griffin Sea World, and now, with three lives on his back, every broken tooth is written The killer whale grandpa who is full of distrust of human beings.

"From the day it was caught in a fishing net, it lost its freedom and was imprisoned, resold, tortured, and abused by humans for a full 40 years."

"..." During Su Che's narration, the jury began to think deeply, and the beef jerky in their hands was no longer crunchy.

"...Freedom is very precious to humans. I believe it is the same for animals. The killer whale in front of you has brought countless laughter and emotions to humans since it was two years old. It has lived in a pool less than 20 meters wide and ten meters deep for 40 years, and I don’t want it to die without being able to swim in this pool, and I don’t want it to end its life in resentment towards human beings.”

"..."

After a moment of silence, Su Che said to Gu Zheng: "Mr. Judge, everyone, my statement is over."

"Next, it's time for deliberation." Gu Zheng glanced at the jurors with different expressions in front of him, put away the bag of beef jerky, and knocked his justice's medal on the ground, "Everyone, your duty is to follow the law and the information of the entire case. , follow your own will, and make the fairest verdict—guilty or not guilty.”

"The court will be adjourned below."

The solemn atmosphere was broken, and with a "buzz", the crowd began to discuss in a low voice.

"Mom," the little girl who was the first to propose to be a juror did not fully understand the situation, raised her hand and asked, "What did Dahei do?"

Her mother replied: "Dahei has done very, very bad things."

"Impossible!" The little fan came with ten layers of filters: "The killer whale is so cute, how could it do bad things?"

Mom: "... how do you know it's impossible?"

The idiot fan was confident: "Because it just saved me."

"..."

The young mother thought about it and decided to treat her child with an adult attitude: "Dahei did something bad."

"Because we took Dahei away from his mother, locked him in a small black room, and performed acrobatics for Sea World to make money, so..."

"That's why it's abnormal." The little girl said firmly.

Mother:"……"

What are children learning in preschool today? !

"Almost." The mother mumbled, fearing that she would continue to tarnish the pure heart of the child.

"..."

The little girl hugged the killer whale doll, frowned thinly, and seemed to think about it seriously.

She finally used her own thinking to sort out the cause and effect of the matter.

Then, with a "wow", she suddenly burst into tears, her eyes were red, and tears flowed down her face, which made her feel distressed.

"What's the matter baby?" The little girl was picked up and wiped her tears.

The six or seven-year-old girl had a sharp and bright voice, and when she cried, she stabbed a knife into the chaotic crowd.

She questioned: "Why did we take Dahei away from his mother? Because he looks good?"

"But isn't this human trafficking... No, whale mouth? The teacher said that trafficking in whale mouth is against the law!"

"When Dahei was locked in the small black room, was he cold, hungry, and afraid?"

"If it is locked up to perform acrobatics because I like it so much, then I... then I have to like it, but I will never like myself again!"

The child's innocent words are like a sword made of gold, piercing through the hypocrisy, coldness and cruelty of the adult world.

The adults who were watched by her were silent.

After a long time, an old man with gray hair finally stood up, touched the braid on the top of the girl's head, nodded and said, "Yes, you are right. They, no, what we did is not correct."

With him starting, more people spoke out one after another.

"I used to love coming to Griffin Sea World to see the show, but I never thought about what the animals here think."

"To us, a pool more than ten meters long is like an iron cage not much bigger than a single bed, right? Living in a place of this size for 40 years is unimaginable."

"Such abuse, can we last for 40 years?"

"Even so, at the moment of the explosion, this orca chose to protect humans."

"As a human being, I'm . . . ashamed."

Emotions are like water plants growing on the silent seabed, swaying slightly and passing among the crowd.

Su Che was able to capture the emotions from the jury, which were not fierce, condemning, alienating or hating, but a tide similar to water waves. When people were wrapped in it, people felt a long-lost feeling. peace of mind.

He raised his head and saw Grandpa Killer Whale lifted his head slightly out of the water.

Sensing Su Che's sight, its movements froze, and then, with a "plop", it quickly dived into the bottom of the water and snorted, "What a sneeze!"

——Hmph, crybaby snotty girl!

With a thunderous sound, the orca grandfather spouted a mouthful of cool sea water, which just landed on the little girl's face, as if washing her face and wiping her tears.

……

"It's time." Gu Zheng tapped the ground with his ill-fated justice's medal when his emotions reached the peak.

"The court will be held again to continue the trial of the killer whale accidental wounding case."

"Jurors, have you reached a consensus?"

"..."

"Yes." The crowd looked at each other, and a young man sitting in front of Gu Zheng said on behalf of everyone: "We have reached a consensus."

"All things are created equal. This is a saying that each of us has learned from books a long time ago. But sorry, we didn't do it."

"Freedom is precious, and it is equally precious to humans and killer whales; life is also precious, and it is completely equal to humans and killer whales, regardless of superiority or inferiority."

"Even though there are inherent differences in identities and positions among different races, we cannot think that the actions of our compatriots are just, just like we cannot treat the tigers that finally resisted the perpetrators after encountering such abuse. Whale to file any charges."

"Because it is not only the whaling ship, Griffin Ocean World, or the mysterious organization hiding in the dark that pushed it into such a situation, but each of us, our self-righteous love and superficial pursuit, is destiny The hand behind it is also the cornerstone of its half-life tragedy."

"Then, those who think that killer whales are innocent..."

The little girl was the first to raise her hand.

Then the second, third, fourth...

The arms raised high are layered upon layer, like javelins in the hands of guards, guarding the truck behind and the grandpa orca inside the truck.

"One, two, three, four..." Gu Zheng counted them one by one.

His eyes swept over every kind face, and finally——

"140, 150, 150..."

Sergeant Liu let the law enforcement recorder turn on, took off his police cap and uniform, and raised his right hand.

"I am a defender of the law, but stripped of this layer of identity, I am also an ordinary person with flesh and blood and feelings."

"Go and see the sea where you were born." He stood up and said to the old killer whale in the water tank.

As if reminded by his behavior, other jury members also stepped forward to express their best wishes to Grandpa Killer Whale.

"Watch out for polar currents when entering the Northern Ocean."

"Remember to eat a few more tons of arctic shellfish. Those are delicious and expensive."

"It would be even better if I could swim back occasionally to have a look. Of course, it's okay if I don't swim back."

"I will miss the acrobatics you performed. My wife and I are fans of yours."

"..."

Amidst the messy discourse, Gu Zheng knocked on the ground with the black medal in his hand——

He said solemnly: "I declare that the killer whale is not guilty and will be released in court."

There was a small smile on the faces of the jury, and even a burst of cheers at their own victory.

The crane started again and drove to a place close to the sea.

Before the grandpa killer whale enjoyed the constant temperature and extremely clean seawater, which had been sterilized many times, he was "plopped" and thrown back into the sea.

"Goodbye!" The crowd cheered and applauded, watching it and its descendants go away.

Grandpa Killer Whale: "..."

The great-grandson behind him flicked his tail in the water, did a mid-air dive, and urged, "Wow!"

——Grandpa, fish.

The great-grandson who turned around to collect debts, the grandfather has already started to think about not performing acrobatics, what will he do to support the sons, grandsons, great-great-grandchildren, and great-grandchildren behind him in the future.

It: worry.

Thinking about it this way, taking the whole family back to the deep sea to catch fish seems to be more reliable than forming a "killer whale family" traveling circus.

The former may starve to death, but the latter will never starve to death as long as you work hard.

but no matter.

With a flick of his tail, the grandpa killer whale swam out of the sea where he had been imprisoned for 30 years at a limit speed of 40 knots, and swam to the depths of the vast and boundless ocean.

Before the figure turned into a dot and disappeared, Grandpa Killer Whale glanced back and snorted proudly——

"What a sneeze."

I declare that human beings are innocent, get the hell out!

……

The moving atmosphere lingered for a while.

Passengers stood on the shore one after another, watching the black and white, vigorous figures of the orcas go away until the sickle-shaped dorsal fin protruding from the water could no longer be seen.

Su Che breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly slapped his head: "It's broken."

"how?"

"I forgot to put false teeth on Dahei."

Gu Zheng: "..."
