Alchemy Greater China

【503】Appeared in court

Doubts are doubts, but the decision made by Long Hao cannot be changed.

On April 4, the "San Jose Courier-Journal" published an extremely astonishing piece of news: the Imperial Physician of the Qing Dynasty who came across the ocean and the director of the Meihao Research Institute, Li Bixi, worked together to use traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture plus new pills and electric shocks. The method awakened the Earl of Beihai who had been in an unconscious state for nearly ten months!

The Earl of Beihai is now living in the intensive care unit of San Francisco Xinchuang Hospital. There are pictures and the truth. On the issue printed by the "Courier" after half an hour, there is a black and white photo of Long Hao sitting on the bed drinking porridge, which is extremely clear. Printed on the front page headlines!

In the photo, Long Hao's face looks haggard, but his eyes are bright, showing his good mental state.

Nonsense, I have been asleep for almost a year, can I not be in good spirits?

Good guy, as soon as this news came out, the city of San Francisco was like a thunderbolt. Not only was the "Courier" sold out, but nearly [-] residents gave up their jobs today and rushed to San Francisco's new hospital.

Looking down from the sky, the city of San Francisco has tripled in size after reconstruction. Nearly a hundred streets are densely packed with black crowds. The center of convergence is the San Francisco Innovation Hospital located on a hillside in the outskirts.

Xinchuang Hospital is a private senior care hospital funded and built by Melissa. It has a terrain that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It has built a solid defense comparable to a military fortress. This time, outside the hospital, there are several The platoon of fully armed soldiers with live ammunition was ready for battle, and it was unclear whether it was the Dragon Scale Army or the San Francisco police.

After an arduous struggle, armed soldiers turned back the excited crowd.

Although warning shots were fired five times on the way, there were too many people coming from all directions, and they couldn't be driven away.The soldiers lay down half tired, and kept secrets, before they were finally slipped in by a few nimble men.

Coincidentally, two of the people who slipped in were special correspondents of the New York Times, and they obtained first-hand news materials.

So in the afternoon of that day, the news that the Earl of Beihai had really awakened was confirmed.The content was also quickly placed on John Rockefeller's desk through telegrams.

"Long Hao, is he awake?"

Rockefeller was taken aback, put down the coffee cup in his hand, and suddenly smiled: "It's really time for him to wake up. Did he think that he could delay or cancel this much-anticipated trial of the century?"

Rockefeller guessed wrong, Long Hao had no intention of procrastinating.

Long Hao was on the hospital bed after the news media interviewed Wang Botao, the descendant of the miraculous imperial physician of the Qing Dynasty, and Li Bixi, the director of innovative medicines.Holding on to his weak body, he said solemnly to the reporter of the "Courier": "...that's all I want to say. I have never done anything wrong to the American people. The disappearance of a destroyer has nothing to do with me! Although I am angry at being subjected to such absurd accusations, I respect the laws of the United States and the so-called evidence they have painstakingly concocted. Therefore, the interrogation on the 25th. I will personally Go, cough cough. My body doesn't matter...I want to see with my own eyes whether the law is still a fair balance to protect innocent people, or, I will see the darkest page of American law? That way, I will be honored to..."

The news of Long Hao announcing that he would participate in the trial once again ignited the media world, as if he had wings.Fly all over America stuff.

Major cities, major newspapers and periodicals began to reprint Long Hao's words frantically, and carried out artistic processing on them according to imagination, for a while.Luoyang paper is expensive, and in the whole of the United States, as long as the newspapers that rub against the earl of Beihai are absolutely out of stock, they can no longer be taken off!

The Count is awake!

Earl Questions American Legal Justice!

Holding his newly healed body, the earl insisted on participating in the joint trial!

The earl is confident that he can prove his innocence!

Hurry up, there are still 56 tickets to arrive in San Francisco before the 25th, so hurry up!

……

Long Hao's sudden awakening attracted the attention of everyone. It is estimated that nearly ten thousand curious people will rush to San Francisco from all over the United States.

What was originally considered to be a "farce trial" to try vegetative people has suddenly changed into a head-on collision between the North Island country and the United States, a direct dialogue between justice and false accusations.

In order to allow more people to witness the trial of the century, after urgent consultations, the two parties agreed to postpone the trial on April 4 for another week... On May 25, the trial will be held in San Francisco, which has been expanded and can accommodate 5 The state court of 1 people was held!

Rockefeller also nodded to this postponement. After all, Long Hao had just woken up. If he was forced to appear in court on the original date, it would undoubtedly win him a lot of sympathy votes.

But now that the postponement has been postponed, the Federation will deal with it at its discretion, and the humane side of the Grand Duke will be shown to the public. This point will undoubtedly have more advantages than disadvantages.

After all, American court trials are by jury system.

Just when the San Francisco State Hospital became the focus, Long Hao was hugging Melissa in the bathroom of the intensive care unit...the two were lying in a three-person bathtub in infinite warmth, and Melissa was sipping her mouth, looking up at the Eight-pack abs, winking eyes like silk, and rosy cheeks.

There was blue water in the bathtub, and the two men and women were entangled with the most perfect bodies. Long Hao squinted his eyes, stroked the cat-like Melissa, and breathed a sigh of relief: "Sasha, do you know how much I am?" Miss you?"

Melissa vomited, rinsed her mouth in the pool water again, and gave Long Hao a very charming look: "What about you, do you think so? If others know that you are recovering from illness, you will act like this." I'm afraid the jury will give you a negative score?"

"Hey, you are my fiancée, and a saint can't interfere with doing this kind of thing, so what's the point?" Long Hao giggled, holding the round and firm body that one palm could not grasp with both hands in the water.

Melissa moaned coquettishly, and then, as if a bone had been pulled out, she fell limply into Long Hao's arms.

"Are you good or bad... your fiancee, then why did you call Yuan'er here?"

"I haven't seen each other for a year, so of course we can't favor one over another! Aren't you on good terms? I'm promoting your friendship!"

While talking, Yuan'er walked in gracefully with a bucket of ice cubes in her hand, blushing in embarrassment...

After satisfying.The water in the pool was wrinkled, and Melissa and Yuan'er snuggled together, the concave and the convex facing each other, the soft springs sinking into each other, as if the world had been destroyed several times, and a single cell on their fingers refused to move.

"Two good wives. Are you satisfied?"

Long Hao moved his fingers and licked his tongue with a proud expression on his face.

"satyr!"

Melissa glanced at the one-horned dragon looming in the water, and spat, "You man, where do you have so many tricks? Be honest, what have you been up to this year?"

Just as Long Hao was about to answer, the underwater faucet suddenly tightened, only to find that Yuan'er, who had always been well-behaved, stretched out his hand to hold it.He said in a resentful and naughty tone that he had never heard before: "It seems that what Sister Shasha said is right, young master, you have gone out to steal incense and jade. It turns out that you are not so bad, and you have so many tricks!"

"That's right, the two of us together can't deal with you, hey, if Xiao Ai is still here, we can definitely squeeze you dry!"

Unwillingly, Melissa gouged out the eyes of the still standing Dragon King.I felt a little ashamed in my heart: We have been there several times, this dead man.He can still hold it back. Could it be that we have grown old in the past year and have no attraction for him?

Feeling another burst of warmth under her body, Yuan'er dived into the pool water, rippling and rippling, Long Hao took a deep breath.Painful and happy, he said with a wry smile: "Dear ladies, you misunderstood me. I have lived a life of an ascetic monk who has faded out this year. Wait for another month until my practice is over. I can really satisfy the two ladies." Already!"

"Hmph, we are no longer your opponents, satisfied? Are you sarcastic?"

"Next time, I will call the maid together, you will be exhausted to death, you licentious king!"

……

As the alchemist's great achievement was approaching, Long Hao didn't want to fall short, but even if he didn't come to the truth, he still threw away the helmet and armor of Melissa and Yuan'er, a pair of long-awaited women.

At the end of the show, Long Hao put his arms around his two beloved wives, caressed his satin-like skin fondly, and sighed: "To be honest, I really owe you, so, after this matter is over, you will join the Alchemy Gate." , be my disciple!"

"Alchemy... door?"

Melissa and Yuan'er raised their heads in amazement. The two jade necks with different shapes but also the same beauty dazzled people's eyes: "What is that? Disciple...Master (), you (you) want to accept it?" apprentice?"

Long Hao finally figured it out. For his women, after passing the test, no matter how much gold source energy they spend, they should be piled up as alchemy apprentices.

The alchemy gate is the basis for Long Hao to dominate the earth in the future. The alchemy line must replace the technology line manipulated by aliens. How can it be achieved without confidantes?

At the moment, Long Hao briefly explained the alchemy gate and alchemy. After hearing that Breeze and Drizzle had long been disciples of the alchemy gate, Melissa was coquettish and reluctant, and rubbed her chest against Long Hao: "I want to be a big sister, master!" , can you help others, please? I don’t want to call the two children, Breeze and Drizzle, brothers and sisters..."

Or how to say the pillow wind is the most effective?

Hearing Melissa's coquettishness, Long Hao responded immediately: "Oh, you call me Master? According to the regulations of our sect, before you become an alchemy apprentice, you can't be counted as a disciple of the alchemy sect! It is indeed wrong for the two children to be senior brothers and sisters, I promise you, as long as you become an official disciple, I will promote you to elder, although the seniority has not changed, but the position is very high, so you don’t need to be called senior brothers and sisters.”

It has to be said that women's attention is very strange. Melissa and Yuan'er are not too curious about the alchemy gate. Will it be messy?From now on, if I call Weifeng Xiaoyu my senior brother and sister, will my status be lowered?

Therefore, after Long Hao promised the position of elder, Melissa and Yuan'er pursed their lips in satisfaction, kissed Long Hao a few times, and didn't ask any more questions.

Regarding this, Long Hao was a little disappointed. It seemed that his alchemy was underestimated...

After the happy reunion, the three of them returned to rationality, or to be precise, it was the two women who began to ask Long Hao about the century trial that would be held on May [-]. <, you are about to appear in court, are you sure? "

"I'm not sure, but probably [-]%."

"We have studied the other party's personal and physical evidence. There is no doubt that the most difficult witness to refute is Coentram, and his testimony and the two naval soldiers he took in are even more difficult to cite counterexamples to overthrow it."

"There is no need to refute, just let it be. Just let the audience see the shameless faces of these witnesses."

"Huh? Master, do you have any other arrangements?"

Yuan'er blinked, and both hands were still drawing circles underwater.

"Hey, my baby Yuan'er is still smart, don't worry, I will make the court trial more interesting. Be patient and wait for the good show!"

……

May [-]st was approaching in a blink of an eye. On that day, the entire city of San Francisco was closed for one day, and the stock exchange was also closed. Countless people got up early and flocked to the state court to attend the trial of the century.

The first to appear is the joint jury, which is composed of eight prosecutors with federal qualifications.

Four of them were registered in California.In addition, there are four people from the federal court affiliated with the White House in Washington.

The eight people are all highly respected people. According to the statistics of the good people, the eight people have tried nearly [-] cases together, and the experience can be described as extremely rich!

Then the jury came on stage, and the lineup of the jury was quite luxurious, including not only the local rich, but also the upper-class celebrities from New York, Boston, Philadelphia and other big eastern cities.

Leland Stanford.Old Stevenson and other California officials are on the list, and there is no shortage of wealthy businessmen like TK Morgan.

also.There are also important figures in the education and military circles, many of whom are loyal flag-waving supporters under the White House, so I won't introduce them one by one here.

All in all, there are a total of 28 jurors, which is estimated to have created a record for a case tried in an American court!

The lineup of the presiding judge and the jury is already so strong, and the number of the next audience will be even greater.When the gates of the state courthouse were opened, the San Francisco police who were in charge of maintaining order outside were in bad luck!

They are like small rocks under the stormy waves, instantly washed up and down by the dark flow of people... This chaotic scene made Karl Van Stevenson, who was in charge of the security work, complain: Damn tk, he sent someone to High fares!Oh God.You should not forgive him a sinner who sells tickets for the holy court?He should go to hell when he dies!

Order was maintained with great difficulty. After cracking down on a small number of people who bought fake tickets and tried to sneak into the court, the court hall was full of 1 seats.

When the presiding judge on the high platform declared silence, the entire hall was silent.

In fact, this is not so much a court hall as it is an indoor super auditorium. It was completed at the beginning of this year, and the investor is the Hamory Group. Unexpectedly, the defendant in the first big case is his largest shareholder. This ironic fact has also been ridiculed by many newspapers.

In the auditorium, the people sitting at the back may not be able to hear or see clearly what happened in front of them. However, as long as they come in and experience the solemn and solemn trial of the century, this experience is enough for ordinary people to be excited and unforgettable up.

It was not until eleven o'clock in the morning that the closed side door of the hall was slowly opened. Only the sound of air-conditioning in the venue was heard. Coentram and other witnesses walked in from the outside, lined up, and stood with their heads held high. seat...

In the end, of course, it was Long Hao's entrance, but the Earl's appearance was not as high-profile as before. This time, with Yuan'er's support, he was pale and wearing a hospital gown, walking three steps at a time Come in and sit in the dock.

The defendant's seat and the witness stand were facing each other. Long Hao looked at Coentram with a smile on his face. The old butler showed no sign of weakness, and stared back fiercely with widened eyes.

The following trial process was very boring, which fully explained the boring side of the law.

First, the presiding judge will state the case, then the public prosecutor will file a complaint against Long Hao and list the charges, and then, the representative of the evidence review team will present various physical evidences except witnesses...

The whole process was tedious and tedious. I didn't eat lunch. It lasted until three o'clock in the afternoon before I could barely finish it. This made the auditorium on the fourth floor yawn endlessly. Some people kept leaving their seats in the middle of the process, and some whispered that they wanted to refund their tickets.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the defense lawyers of both sides finally made their debut, injecting a shot of fresh air into the dull atmosphere.

The lead attorney of the main prosecution is the top-ranked federal barrister in Washington, with a winning rate of over 97%. Long Hao also hired the most prestigious lawyer in California. However, one is the trump card at the national level, and the other is just The trump card of the place, let's not talk about the professional level, but I feel that Long Hao has lost a lot in the aura field.

Even many uninformed former Huaxia townspeople discussed in private: Why not hire a British barrister?We have money!Well, it feels hopeless to make a comeback, and want to spend less money?Or is it that the young master is so confident that it doesn't matter whether he hires a famous barrister or not?Well, it must be the latter, young master, although we have left Huaxia Town, we are still cheering for you!

After the prosecutor's lawyer asked a few questions, the clock struck six o'clock, and the first day of interrogation came to a rather uneventful end.

On May [-], the trial continued. Today was a fierce confrontation between the lawyers of the two sides. It lasted for six hours, like three blockbuster movies... This verbal battle finally aroused the interest of the audience, and the voice of ticket refunds was greatly reduced. , let them have a sense of worthwhile trip, if it is not forbidden to enter the snacks, they will definitely give a thumbs up.

For the next three days, Long Hao would come every day, and he would just sit there quietly, taking some medicine, drips, and acupuncture from time to time. What he said did not exceed a hundred words in total, because, in court, there were many Lawyers and witnesses from both sides repeatedly scrutinized, debated, quarreled, and greeted each other's ancestors over and over again about the details of the case... For example, even water samples from the sea area where the case occurred were taken and used thirteen After the bottle was packed, a professor of oceanography from Boston University was specially invited to read a paper "The Temporal Relationship between Seawater and Green Algae on the Bottom of Ships", which hypnotized thousands of viewers.
