Him and their stars.

Chapter 435 Our friends will be fine

Yu Lian knew that if there was really a black hand behind him who wanted to frame Stoke to deal with him, it would be impossible to refuse his request at this time.

The policemen on the opposite side showed expressions ten times more humiliating than Tan Jize's just now, but none of them dared to step forward, and they didn't even dare to draw their guns.Then, the sheriff finally dialed his boss through gritted teeth.A few minutes later, the imperial authorities seemed to have finally reacted, and several cars came across the street one after another.First, a group of iron cans wearing external power and carrying heavy equipment came down, scaring the residents who were watching the excitement nearby into panic.Then came a few security agents dressed in plain clothes and with a strong temperament.

In the end, another plainclothes trio came, consisting of a middle-aged man, a bookish young man, and a young girl.It was the trio of judges who had dealt with at the gate of the detention center this morning.

The middle-aged uncle hesitated for nearly a minute, as if he had made the greatest determination in his life, and then walked over step by step under the eyes of the two subordinates who were sending the heroes off.

"Lieutenant Colonel, you..."

"You are not qualified to talk to me yet." Yu Lian said calmly with a blank face.

"Lieutenant Colonel, we..."

"Get out." Yu Lian smiled, and his tone was calmer.

The policemen around were even more humiliated when they heard this, but the middle-aged judge, who was the person involved, ran back to his car in a hurry, as if he had received the grace of the gods.

After nearly half an hour of this confrontation, several high-ranking bureaucrats who looked like dogs came from the Imperial Honglu Academy, and Counselor Bliss arrived in person at the Community Embassy.

Mr. Counselor can no longer see the high spirits of yesterday, and the sadness on his face is about to condense into a haze visible to the naked eye. He just won [-] million and before he had time to celebrate, he learned that his wife lost [-] million in A shares. expression.As soon as he saw the situation here, he hurried over at a trot, pressed his stomach and lowered his voice and said:
"Lieutenant Colonel Yu Lian, this, this, this, why is this so!"

"...The student in question is my good friend. Moreover, I always feel that there must be something strange behind this incident, and it may involve some shady conspiracy of the empire." Yu Lian also lowered his voice.

Mr. Bliss's hand holding his stomach tightened a little, the muscles on his face twitched as if the frame was about to drop, and the sad look in his eyes gave Yu Lian a stomachache.

"This, how did it become like this..."

"In short, we are the diplomats of the community, and it is our duty to protect ordinary citizens."

"Indeed, that's true." Counselor Bliss seemed to feel more pain in his stomach, but he still gritted his teeth and nodded. With a fighting expression, he said to the bureaucrats of the Honglu Academy: "Sir Luo Can, I believe you have already known the whole process of the matter. The crime of injury to our citizen Serdy Stoke has been judged as self-defense. , there is absolutely no reason to be investigated again for the same thing!"

Obviously, when Mr. Counselor rushed over, he had quickly understood the whole story.

"I understand." The senior bureaucrat named Sir Luosan was very polite: "It's just that, as far as I know, the Bell Rockin City Court did rule that Mr. Mr. White Wrist and his family are not satisfied with this, and are appealing to a higher court. Now that Mr. Rorsch is dead, there will naturally be new changes in the situation."

"The justice of the empire is so unrestrained, I really fully understand it." Counselor Bliss sneered: "We will file a formal protest!"

"The legal system has its own way of doing things, which is not something that Honglu Institute can comment on. However, please rest assured that we have approved your request to accompany you, and we will also be accompanied by a commissioner. I assure you, Mr. Stoke will never be treated unfairly." Sir Rosen said with a smile, and then nodded and smiled in Yu Lian's direction.

Yu Lian said that this hero was very upset to see this kind of squinting eyes, so he also smiled and said: "Then I will trouble you. However, it is better to hit the sun every other day, and I will apply for another one from you." Let's do it."

"Please speak."

"I will apply to Viscount Demen, the police chief of your country, for a duel of honor for extraordinary beings."

Sir Luoshen's smile suddenly froze on his face, and Yu Lian felt that this expression was more pleasing to his eyes.Of course, the expression of Mr. Bliss's stomach ache suddenly became more obvious. This is probably the only side effect.

Ever since, the unlucky Serdie Stoke, just 12 hours after he was released from prison, once again returned to the detention center with great strides under the watchful eyes of his friends.Fortunately, with people from the embassy following him, this matter has risen to the diplomatic stage. In this way, at least Stoke himself will not suffer any grievances in prison.

This is why Yu Lian wanted to make a big deal out of it.

After all, what Stoke committed before was only a security incident, but this time it became a homicide case. The nature is different, the cell is different, and the inmates locked together are naturally different.Who knows if that white-faced scholar with thin skin and tender flesh will bear any injury that needs to be healed all his life?

However, even with the company of the embassy, ​​the subsequent developments, just as Yu Lian guessed, the public security charges of Serdy Stoker's "illegal modification of fitness props" uncontrollably rose to The level of homicide.

Ever since, someone from the empire proposed to move Stoke to the heavy criminal detention center in the outer ring for temporary detention.

Fortunately, at this time, Tan Jize, who had already reacted, realized his shame and acted bravely. He came out with the courage to fight against the water, and his aura alone overwhelmed the opponent's team of five prosecutors.Under the witness of the diplomats of the two countries, he quoted the scriptures, and refuted the opposite party with a single person.

Perhaps the "behind the scenes" didn't want to make this matter too deliberate, and to some extent put a little pressure on the court-don't talk about judicial independence to me.Talking about judicial independence in a country with an absolute monarchy is as ridiculous as talking about people's livelihood and human rights in a capitalist country.

In short, after the first judgment two days later, the court announced an adjournment for a retrial, and at the same time approved Tan Jize's application for "home arrest".As a result, Stock must wear a set of anklets at all times and cannot leave Belkin until his next court session.Even if you go out, there will be two policemen following you at all times.

The only good thing is that Serdie Stoker finally won't have to suffer another month or two in prison.

Anyway, this matter really needs to be discussed in detail, the hospital has to bear a lot of responsibility, and various evidence collection and investigations will also take time.So the court announced that the next hearing will be in a month.

It sounds like the current situation is quite good. Even Counselor Bliss, who has been with you for two full days, is a little relieved.

However, Tan Jize had a completely different opinion and couldn't laugh at all.

"The problem now is that Serdi is an ordinary foreign student. According to the laws of the empire, he enjoys the same human rights treatment as the nationals of the empire. And the dead man named Rorsi White Wrist..."

"A nobleman from the Kaitai Kingdom?" Since the surname is Baiji, it goes without saying that he is a famous nobleman from the Kaitai Kingdom.The dead cat called Rorsey might be a relative of Sharon Whitewrist, whom he killed in the Battle of the West End galaxy.However, the White Wrist family is also a well-known warrior family in the Kaitai Kingdom. It is really shameful that a child from this family would be shot in the head by a powerless scholar like Stoke.

In other words, it was precisely because of his ineffectiveness that he was pushed out as cannon fodder.

But no matter what, the Kaitai Kingdom is a vassal state of the empire, and their titles are theoretically recognized by the empire.

Of course, this does not mean that the nobles of these dependent countries can be arrogant in front of the citizens of the empire.In fact, even the king of a country would not dare to let an ordinary citizen of the empire salute him.

However, reality is reality, and legal principles are legal principles.The nobles of the vassal state have such a high status.What's more, after all, the White Wrist family is also a famous family of warriors. In addition to the title of the Kaitai Kingdom, some of their ancestors have won the Iron Mane Knight Medal personally bestowed by Emperor Elansel, which is bestowed by the empire on foreigners. Second class honorary title.People and families who own this medal will also be regarded as members of the imperial nobility, and can even receive a considerable annuity from the Heraldry.

"So, according to the laws of the empire, this nature is equivalent to a commoner killing a nobleman by mistake, isn't that right?" Yu Lian said.

Tan Jize nodded.His expression was a bit heavy, and he didn't hide his distress at all: "Yes. The reason why the court agreed that Serdi can be placed under house arrest may be because Serdi himself did not leave any security aspects in the few years in the imperial capital. With a criminal record, he has also participated in volunteer work in colleges and community organizations, and he is a well-known good young man. The university should also think of a way now."

"I've heard about it. I heard that the professors at Memorial University appreciate him very much?"

"...It's true. Sir Mayne has even been persuading Serdy to study abroad for a doctorate, thinking that he may become a master scholar who pioneered a new concept of economics."

Professor Kramer Mayne is the associate dean of the Faculty of Social and Humanities at Memorial Shire University, the head of the Department of Economics, and one of the defense advisors for Stoke's master's thesis.This time in the trial, it was he who appeared in court in person, proving to the court that Stoke was indeed a humble, polite, honest and diligent young man.

The testimony of an academic master with a knighthood is still very weighty in court.

Probably because of this, there was a chance for a retrial.

However, even so, at the end of the trial, Professor Mayen shook Tan Jize's hand firmly with a guilty expression on his face, and said "Take care".

"Memorial University is already considering revoking Stoke's degree and student status." Tan Jize said helplessly: "Although Professor Mayen and the others are trying to argue, if Stoke is convicted of murder, they will not be able to say anything more. .”

"So, if he is convicted of homicide, how will the empire judge it?"

"It is already a felony for a citizen to harm the nobles of the empire, even if it is an accidental injury. Even if it is the minimum sentence, it should be exiled to the border star region and serve lifelong hard labor."

"To him, it's no different from the death penalty." Yu Lian sighed.

"Yes...Moreover, these outer ring border star regions where heavy criminals are exiled, and the mainland of the empire are basically two worlds. If he really becomes a lifelong hard labor, the nobles of the Kaitai Kingdom only need to spend a little money..." Tan Jize did not continue. Seeing that Yu Lian was silent, he squeezed out a smile and comforted him: "Don't worry. I will do my best. As long as it proves the death of Luo Xie White Wrist, and the day with Stoke It doesn't matter what the injury was, he will be innocent. There is still time before the next court hearing, and there is still a chance to come back."

Yu Lian also smiled: "Yes, our friend Serdi, no matter what, he will be fine."
