Chapter 340 Eleven-Person Tribunal

Yuan Zhenghong stood in the cold wind, and at this moment, he felt that he was getting old.

He had faced many vicious and cunning criminals in his life, but none had given him the sense of frustration he felt now.

Because Li Tianran didn't use any conspiracies at all; this was a calculated move out in the open.

Yuan Zhenghong could see through all of Li Tianran's schemes, but he had no way to solve them...

Just then, his personal phone rang.

He looked down and saw that it was the call from the Big Boss of the Provincial Department, and his expression immediately became serious as he answered the phone.

"Old Yuan... Running into a problem, huh?" As soon as the call was connected, the Big Boss went straight to the point, speaking concisely, "A dilemma, right?"

Yuan Zhenghong's face was a little ugly, and he said in a low voice, "Which bastard has such a leaky mouth? It's only been a few minutes, and you've already been alarmed?"

"Stop cursing! I'll just ask you one question now: can you take that Li Tianran away tonight?" The Big Boss asked in a deep voice.

"..." Yuan Zhenghong was silent for a moment, and sighed, "If we have to take him away by force, of course we can, but if we do, the people of Nancheng will lose their trust..."

"Then withdraw the people first!" The Big Boss said decisively, "In the current situation, it's difficult to maintain stability between reason and law. Once it's rashly broken, the consequences could be very serious."

The Internet age has made information too developed, and the speed of its spread is staggering.

In just a few hours, not only Nancheng, but almost the entire Yanhuang Federation was paying attention to the cult case.

For a time, Li Tianran's safety was being watched by tens of millions of eyes.

With the situation changing rapidly in the future, the final outcome of the cult case will determine the standards people use when facing similar emergencies in the future!

If it is not handled properly, and Li Tianran is severely punished by law, then the worst result will be that if similar criminal groups appear in Yanhuang in the future, people will simply turn a blind eye, and be absolutely indifferent and absolutely selfish!

It will make people's hearts grow cold and lose cohesion!

But if Li Tianran is allowed to do whatever he wants, it may also send a signal to some people with ulterior motives: as long as it is in the process of stopping a crime, any mistakes committed can be forgiven, even murder and arson!

This will create great hidden dangers for the future, and may lead to the collapse of the legal system!

So this matter seems to be just a small case in Nancheng, but it involves far too much.

"The Political Department just contacted me... We are preparing to use an eleven-person tribunal." The Big Boss said, "You know what this represents."

Yuan Zhenghong was a little surprised when he heard this.

Eleven-person tribunal!

This is an extremely rare form of court hearing in the Yanhuang Judiciary!

General case verdicts are made directly by the Grand Judge to determine whether the suspect is guilty or not guilty; while the eleven-person tribunal is composed of eleven people with different identities and professions, including judges, military police, ordinary citizens, doctors, teachers, etc... involving almost all levels of people.

These eleven people will proceed from their own identity perspectives, and vote on whether the suspect in the case is guilty or not guilty based on law and reason.

The Judiciary will ultimately decide the suspect's fate based on the results of the vote!

This is a form of trial aimed at cases that have caused greater social controversy, and it has only been used three times since the establishment of the Yanhuang Federation!

Such a verdict can find a middle ground between reason and law, and is the best solution so far.

"This matter is no longer an ordinary case, but a confrontation between law and public opinion... No matter which side wins, it is not the result we want." The Big Boss sighed, his tone filled with helplessness.

Yuan Zhenghong hung up the phone expressionlessly.

Yes, no one wants to see such a scene happen.

But who is the culprit that led to all this?

Li Tianran?

No, he was just protecting himself.

The real culprit should be Li and Guo, it should be the mysterious force behind Li and Guo. If Li and Guo had not been protected at the beginning, but had been brought to justice at that time, then none of this would have happened!

The law would still represent majesty, and the people's hearts would still not collapse!

"Wang Dongchuan, the person who should really be held responsible for this... is it you?" Yuan Zhenghong knew very well the network of relationships between Li and Guo, and also knew that Wang Dongchuan was their big backer.

But the military police department had no evidence to prove that Wang Dongchuan was involved in this matter.

...

"Eleven-person trial?"

Li Tianran frowned slowly as he listened to the cold voice coming from the phone, "Why are you telling me this?"

Li Tianran was surprised.

Because the person who called was... Yuan Yi!

"For no reason..." Yuan Yi's voice didn't carry any emotional fluctuations, and he continued, "I'm just reminding you, it's best to prepare first! Although those people can protect you for a while, they can't protect you for a lifetime. The final result of the eleven-person trial will determine your fate."

Li Tianran was silent for a moment, he knew that Yuan Yi was right.

"These eleven people will go through layers of screening, and their origins and backgrounds will be strictly assessed." Yuan Yi's voice was very cold, "Their voting results will determine your final fate."

Li Tianran took a deep breath and said, "I understand."

"..." Yuan Yi didn't hang up the phone.

"Is there anything else?" Li Tianran asked.

"In this matter, you misunderstood Yuan Wen." Yuan Yi said, "She has resigned from the Nancheng Military Police Bureau and applied to be transferred to the Nanjiang Military Region..."

Li Tianran's mouth opened slightly, wanting to say something, but he didn't say it.

"She hopes more than anyone else that criminals can be punished, and wants to fulfill the justice she once promised you." Yuan Yi's voice was a little low, and he suddenly cursed, "She wouldn't let me tell you all this... but I can't help it, if it wasn't for her, I wouldn't bother to say so much to you!"

"She didn't do anything wrong, she just didn't have the power to fight against the darkness!"

Yuan Yi's voice was filled with anger.

Li Tianran took a deep breath, and a trace of sadness appeared on his face.

"Actually, I personally am not optimistic about your chances of passing the eleven-person trial... because I accidentally heard that among the people participating in the eleven-person trial this time, there may be Wang Dongchuan from the Nancheng Council. I remember when the Wells case happened before, he was holding back to kill you." Yuan Yi's voice was a little cold, "I also accidentally heard... that the trial will start at seven o'clock tomorrow afternoon. Once the trial starts, you will no longer have the opportunity to leave Nancheng."

"So before that... you must not think about running away! Don't think about taking a smuggling ship to leave Nancheng, and then transferring to Hancheng, Xinzhou, and the Northern Xinjiang Line!"

"Don't let me see you again! If I see you, I'll kill you in minutes!"

Yuan Yi finished speaking fiercely and hung up the phone directly.

"Eleven-person trial, Wang Dongchuan..." Li Tianran was silent for a moment, then calmly turned and walked to the kitchen, silently picked up a bowl of half-cold rice, with a plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and began to swallow it in large mouthfuls.

He used another mobile phone, dialed Bai Jingyan's phone, and said in a slurred voice:

"Now, help me do the third thing..."
