Chapter 542: Verdict

~7 min read 1,289 words

Time passed minute by minute. The waiting time was very difficult for Wang Zhaoning and Shen Ci, but no one spoke, just guarding there and looking at the solemn gate of the court.

Until twelve o'clock at noon, Lawyer Qin walked out of the court again.

Wang Zhaoning stood up excitedly: "Lawyer Qin, how is it? Is there a result?"

"Adjournment in the middle," Lawyer Qin looked at the few people and said: "You don't need to worry too much, the situation is still very optimistic. The evidence mastered by the public prosecution is within our range, that is to say, what Xizi told me and what he told the police are consistent, and it is also unreserved."

"So the police can't find more things, and I have enough time to resolve the charges I have mastered. At present, the most serious charges facing Xizi are intentional injury, forced trading, and illegal detention."

"So many?" Yan Mu was startled and asked with a worried face: "Does so many mean he will be sentenced for many years?"

"Mom, don't be anxious, listen to Lawyer Qin," Wang Zhaoning said.

The old lady nodded: "Lawyer Qin, you say."

Lawyer Qin smiled slightly and explained: "Combined punishment for several crimes will increase the sentence, but for the two charges of intentional injury and forced trading, Xizi retained the reconciliation record and compensation transfer record with the other party, so it largely diluted the upper limit of sentencing."

"The most difficult one at present is illegal detention. The victim died of terminal illness three years ago. The police mastered direct evidence during the investigation. According to the Criminal Law, illegal detention can be sentenced to 3 to 10 years according to different degrees, and causing death can be sentenced to more than 10 years. This is also the highest upper limit of sentencing among Xizi's several charges, so we must beat 'illegal detention' into 'restricting personal freedom' to reduce the sentencing of this charge to the greatest extent."

"Lawyer Qin, what is the difference between these two items? It sounds the same!" The old lady couldn't help but ask again.

Lawyer Qin explained patiently: "It is the difference between 'deprivation' and 'obstruction'. Illegal detention is deprivation, and restricting personal freedom is obstruction. There is a big difference between the two."

Speaking of this, Lawyer Qin glanced at the time: "Time is still early, you go to eat something, the trial will continue at two o'clock in the afternoon."

"Lawyer Qin," Wang Zhaoning asked with a trembling voice: "Can it be sentenced today?"

"Not sure, if the public prosecution has no new evidence to submit and does not apply for an extension of the investigation time, it will likely be sentenced in court. After all, this case has been submitted for half a year, and all materials are very complete. The prosecutor has sufficient basis for sentencing assessment."

The implication is that if there are changes, this case will be extended.

Wang Zhaoning nodded: "Thank you, please."

After Lawyer Qin left, the atmosphere of the few people improved slightly, because Lawyer Qin's calm aura gave them some down-to-earth confidence.

No matter what, the brother did indeed do many illegal things. They didn't ask for anything else, just hoped that within Lawyer Qin's greatest ability, his sentence could be shortened as much as possible.

The afternoon wait was even longer, until media reporters appeared at the court gate, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

The name Yan Wenxi had a loud weight in Longcheng. Even if the media couldn't enter the court, they wouldn't let go of the opportunity to capture even a lens outside the court.

Time came to five o'clock in the afternoon, and finally there was movement.

First, several cars escorting prisoners drove in slowly, lined up neatly and parked on the open space in front of the court stone steps, and then more than ten armed police stood in line in front of the car with expressionless faces.

"Is it coming out?" Yan Mu stretched her neck and looked excitedly.

Wang Zhaoning couldn't hold on and trembled slightly. She didn't even know that her hand holding Shen Ci's arm was pale.

Shen Ci herself also started to have a chaotic heartbeat, until prisoners were escorted out of the court, and the crowd swarmed forward, but was forcibly intercepted by the public security police.

The first to come out were the core figures of Yan Wenxi's group. They lowered their heads and were escorted into the car one by one, until the last of the team saw Yan Wenxi walking out from inside.

He lowered his head, his hair was pushed to the scalp, his slightly thin body was wearing an orange prison uniform, and his hands were handcuffed behind his back.

"Xizi! Xizi! My son!"

Yan Mu was the first to be unable to control, and when she saw her son, she cried and howled.

Yan Wenxi heard the sound and looked up, instantly locking onto this group of people. He widened his eyes slightly, and the next second he raised his lips and smiled.

Mother, wife, younger brother, A-Ci, Boss Yang, Duanduan...

Wang Zhaoning held up her phone, and on the screen was the cute Xixi. She cried and shouted: "It's a daughter, it's a daughter!"

Yan Wenxi heard it, and he nodded to Wang Zhaoning.

It was just that before he had time to take another look, he was pushed into the car by the armed police who escorted him.

The car door closed, the car circled in the yard, and drove away from another door.

Yan Wenxi sat in the car, looking at the few people in the crowd through the car window behind the iron fence, but with a relieved and relaxed smile on his face.

Until the car disappeared, Yan Mu cried until her body was paralyzed and sat on the ground. Yan Wentao quickly reached out to help: "Mom, don't cry, my brother looks okay, just a little thin."

"Sister-in-law, are you okay?" Shen Ci wiped her tears and held Wang Zhaoning's shoulder with concern.

Wang Zhaoning nodded strongly, but just after wiping her tears, a large number of lenses were poked up: "Are you Yan Wenxi's wife?"

"I am a reporter from Longcheng Evening News, can I ask you a few questions?"

"..."

Boss Yang and Duanduan saw this and quickly blocked Wang Zhaoning behind them. Boss Yang frowned and said sharply: "We don't accept interviews."

"Sister-in-law, get in the car first."

Shen Ci helped Wang Zhaoning retreat, and soon got into the car on the side of the road. Not long after, the old lady was also stuffed in by Yan Wentao: "Sister-in-law, Mom said she wouldn't go back with me, she had to take care of you, so let her go back with you."

Wang Zhaoning didn't pay attention to him, Yan Wentao didn't get angry, smiled, and closed the car door himself.

After about half an hour, Duanduan came to the car and knocked on the window: "Sister Ci, Lawyer Qin is out."

Lawyer Qin stood by the car window, raised his hand and pushed the bridge of his nose, Wang Zhaoning looked at him, but didn't dare to ask anything, just looked at him straight.

"Lawyer Qin, what is the verdict?" Shen Ci asked, and her heart hung up.

Everyone subconsciously held their breath, just waiting for Lawyer Qin to say a result.

"Five years and eight months, this is already the best result, we don't have the need to appeal."

?? August, wish all babies a smooth August.
