C38 Court(1)
For the past few days, Sister Fang Lin had been suffering a lot. Her mind was restless, and she could not sleep for three consecutive nights. Her mind was full of bright shadows. In the two years that he had run away from home, he had thought of the worst outcome countless times in his heart. Sure enough, when mother and son met in a frightening court, Sister Fang Lin's throat choked, and her eyes could not help but get wet again.
She could not imagine how she had survived the seven hundred plus days of dawn. Whenever she thought about it, she would have goosebumps all over her body. She knew that she must have suffered a lot during the day of dawn.
Actually, three days wasn't a long time, but Sister Lin seemed to have waited too long. She was a bit exhausted from waiting.
On the morning of the court session, Sister Lin woke up at dawn. She paced around the living room as if she had lost her soul. She wanted to bring something to Liang Liang. She was afraid that the court would not allow her to do so. She wanted to eat breakfast, but she was afraid of getting carsick.
Zhao Qiang comforted her, "No rush! No rush! It's still early. "
Sister Fang Lin stuck her head out of the door countless times, waiting for Jiang Bin's car to arrive early. Within ten minutes, she had already called Jiang Bin twice to ask where his car was. After confirming that the car was already on the road, she sat down without worry and leaned against the table, tilting her head to look outside the door.
Jiang Bin's car arrived, and Fang Lin quickly went up to greet him. Jiang Bin had just dropped off the car when she hurriedly opened the door and got into the car.
Zhao Qiang chased after him outside the door. The car had already left. He shouted at the car that had gone far away, "Don't rush! It's still early!" He shook his head helplessly. This Fang Lin was usually slow and slow. As soon as she mentioned Liang Liang, she would get excited. She always felt that it was her who had let Liang Liang reach this stage. It was her who owed the child.
The car drove under the hot sun for more than an hour. Finally, they arrived at the front gate of the Yanghu County People's Court. It was seven or eight stories high, and the court was solemn and dignified. A huge red national emblem hung on the top of the building. The whole courtyard was silent and solemn. In the middle of the square, the five-star red flag on the high flagpole was fluttering in the sunlight.
Sister Fang Lin came too early. There was still some time before the court came to work. She stood outside the court under the hot sun, looking up at the solemn building, patiently waiting for the door to open.
The weather was unusually hot today. The treetops did not move at all, and the trees knew to moan powerlessly. The heat and carsickness made Fang Lin Lin's head dizzy and her body weak. She stood there with her head hanging low for a while. Beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, and her clothes were wet and sucked on her body.
Jiang Bin saw that Sister Lin's face was pale. He handed her a bottle of mineral water and reminded her to drink some water and eat something.
Sister Fang Lin took the bottle of mineral water and slightly nodded her head to express her gratitude. She slowly took out the mantou in her bag and slowly chewed it. After a few bites, she spat it out, making her stomach feel even worse.
She weakly leaned against the wall of the security room and looked at the high court, deep in thought.
At 8: 30 PM, the electric door of the People's Court of Yanghu County slowly opened. The people waiting outside the door entered the courtyard through security checks.
Fang Linmei picked up her level and walked into the magistrate building. She found 15 courts in the long corridor on the second floor.
On both sides of the court were corridors. On one side of the corridor, there were two brown double doors not far from each other. One door was for the people to enter and exit, and the other door directly led to the bench. The corridor on the other side of the court could not be seen from the outside. Only after entering the court would one be able to see a door on the opposite wall, which directly led to the detention room.
Fang Linmei carefully opened the door and entered. Just as she entered, a gust of cold air blew against her face. It was like ice and fire in the hot and humid weather outside. She could not help but shiver, feeling refreshed and cool all of a sudden. Her headache and chest tightness were eased.
Fang Linmei and Jiang Bin stood at the door of the court and carefully looked at the court that was filled with respect. It was quiet inside and no one could be seen. The rectangular court was solemn and solemn. The entire court was dark red in color, and the area against the wall was 50 to 60 centimeters higher than the ground. On the white wall hung a bright national emblem, the white wall was surrounded by a red border. A beam of light shone on the national emblem in the middle of the border, making it look particularly eye-catching and dignified.
On the dark red judging platform, there were three computers. Behind the computer screen were three copper cards, in the middle was the Presiding Judge, on the left and right side were the Presiding Judges and Judges, and behind the Presiding Judges were three tall chairs.
On the right side of the platform was the Prosecutor's Chair, on the left was the Defender's Chair, and on the left was the Cleric's computer table. In the middle of the two tables on the left and right was the Defendant's Chair.
Two or three meters behind the defendant's seat was a long wooden railing. There were seven or eight rows of seats inside the railing, and there were fifty or sixty seats.
The light of the Judgement District was bright, and on the ceiling above each seat was a row of sunlights, shining on every dark red table from high up, emitting a hazy white light.
Fang Linmei followed behind Jiang Bin and walked lightly to the side seats. Her gaze stopped on the defendant's seat for a few seconds before she sat down quietly and waited for the court to begin.
A few minutes later, a female lawyer in her thirties, who was covered in dust, came to the court. She was beautiful and young. Her short black hair contrasted with her fair and white face. She wore a short gray suit and elegantly sat in the defense chair.
She was Bian Liang's defense. Lawyer Wang Yan waved at Fang Linmei, who was sitting at the side, and gestured for her to sit beside her.
Just as Fang Linmei stood up, Secretary Yang Qiong walked into the court. She held the documents in her hand and looked very energetic. She wore a light blue uniform and a gray tie. She wore a red national emblem on her left chest, and a navy blue one-step skirt on her bottom. His eyes were bright and spirited as he walked, scanning the court. She walked directly to the side of the hall, and after a few questions. . . She invited Fang Lin to sit next to Counselor Wang.
Yang Qiong turned on the computer and did the preparatory work before the court session.
A middle-aged man wearing a pair of glasses and a dark blue uniform entered the court. His name was He Jianghai, and he looked to be in his fifties. He had a calm temperament and sat firmly on the right side of the prosecutor's seat. He unhurriedly took out the dossier from his briefcase and placed it on the table.
No one spoke. Everything was carried out silently. The court was filled with a solemn and sacred atmosphere.
Bian Liang was still underage when he committed the crime. In order to avoid causing unnecessary harm to his body and mind and affecting his future life, according to the law, this court hearing was not open.
Jiang Bin sat alone in the empty audience seating area. He was the only person who was allowed to listen by the court. It was the first time he had come to the court since he was over half a century old. He had occasionally seen a trial of criminals on television. Today, he was sitting here, and the defendant was actually his former adopted son. His heart was filled with mixed feelings. In the solemn court, he tried his best to control his emotions. His square face looked serious, and he deliberately straightened his back. He stared at the clerk with his big eyes and silently watched him busy in front of the computer.
