Chapter 60 Before the Trial
A day later, System Star. m
The shuttle landed on the tarmac, the cabin door opened, Shen Yi stepped out of the plane, followed by Rourou King Kong and others.
At this moment, Shen Yi was no longer wearing his Armani, which had remained unchanged for many years, but was wearing a general uniform with a medal on his chest. Issued in the form of medals. This thing allows the general to have more privileges in the Star Alliance, Shen Yi never cared about it after getting it, but now he wears it.
A group of heavily armed soldiers approached, apparently responsible for escorting Shen Yi.
Hong Lang frowned, showing signs of getting angry, but at this moment a voice sounded from a distance: "Put away your weapons and stand by the side obediently."
A person came from a distance, it was Hua Tianrui, and a group of soldiers followed behind him.
"But..." the leading officer wanted to say something.
Hua Tianrui sneered and said: "Do you think you have the ability to guard an adventurer general? Just do your guard work well, and I will take over the supervision work."
The officer opened his mouth, and finally stepped aside without saying anything.
Only then did Hua Tianrui come over, and said to Shen Yi with a smile: "Don't mind, you know that there must be a procedure for some things."
Since he came to stand trial, even if he has not been convicted of a crime, as a defendant, Shen Yi cannot just wander around outside like this. Even if he is not locked in prison, at least someone has to watch him.
Hua Tianrui is here to do this.
Of course, no one should expect him to really do anything to Shen Yi, it's just a matter of face.
So at this moment Shen Yi smiled and said: "Of course, I can understand. It is much better to let friends supervise than to let enemies supervise."
Hua Tianrui pretended to be surprised: "Huh? Does anyone still dare to be your opponent, Boss Shen?"
The two looked at each other and laughed at the same time.
Hua Tianrui has put his arms around Shen Yi's shoulder: "Let's go, Longmeng has already prepared a hotel for you to stay in."
The two walked side by side, quickly walked out of the airport, and boarded the flying bus.
in the car,
The two chatted a few gossips first, and then Hua Tianrui said seriously: "This incident has caused quite a stir. The teacher has already inquired about it. The Star Alliance is very annoyed by your attack on the battleship, and has decided to ruthlessly I will punish you severely to make an example to others."
"Yo, the tone has been set so quickly." Shen Yi laughed.
"Don't smile." Hua Tianrui said seriously: "This is the first case in the history of the bloody city that the Star Alliance tried an adventurer. The matter is so big that it will not end well if they don't punish you. This time it will be you Finding a god-level lawyer may not be able to solve the problem, you'd better be prepared to receive punishment."
"Are there still god-level lawyers in the bloody city?" Shen Yi was even more curious about this.
Hua Tianrui was almost driven mad by his anger, rolled his eyes and said, "I'm just making an analogy!"
"Okay, okay." Shen Yi spread his hands: "How's the reaction outside?"
"Fortunately, I finally didn't take to the streets to demand the punishment of the murderer, but many people are watching, you are destined to be a household name."
"Hearing your tone, I still have the possibility to become a spokesperson in the future, maybe I can make an autobiography and make a fortune."
"This is not the United States, there is nothing so disgusting." Hua Tianrui rolled his eyes and said: "Okay, let's talk about business. In fact, this time you are going to be judged, and the Star Alliance is facing a lot of trouble."
"You mean legal grounds?"
"Yep."
The main purpose of the Interstellar Alliance punishing Shen Yi in the form of a trial is to show everyone a fair image and at the same time give an explanation to all adventurers.
After all, Uhtred is the attacker in this battle, if Shen Yi is punished without a trial, most adventurers will be dissatisfied.
Although adventurers have needs for the Star Alliance, the Star Alliance is not completely independent of adventurers.
The two sides are interdependent, so when Shen Yi's incident came out, although the Star Alliance was angry and wanted to punish, they still had to find a suitable reason.
Judgment is to seek legal basis for punishment.
But this process itself has a big problem - Shen Yi is not a member of the Star Alliance, and the laws of the Star Alliance do not apply to him.
"The laws in the alliance do not apply to you, so the only thing they can use against you is war crimes." Hua Tianrui said at this moment.
War crime is a very special crime. On earth, it was born on the basis of the Geneva Convention, and it is a crime declared and executed by international joint organizations.
Of course, the Star Alliance also has war crimes, and this is the only crime they apply to Shen Yi.
However, there is a problem here, that is, war crime itself is not a single charge, but a combination of many crimes. Even if a prisoner is prosecuted for war crimes, there must be more specific provisions.
As for which clause Shen Yi's behavior applies to, it depends on the specific situation at that time.
The current war crimes that may be applicable to Shen Yi in the alliance include: the crime of initiating war, the crime of illegal destruction and embezzlement, and the crime of massacre.
In addition, Shen Yi may also be charged with crimes against the state, murder, and espionage, but the possibility of being convicted of these three crimes is very small.
"Longmeng asked a team of lawyers to do an analysis, and believed that in this matter, you have enough evidence to prove that you fought back in self-defense, and the establishment of a war crime may not be serious. The crime of massacre was aimed at civilians, and there were no civilians in the situation at that time. The crime of massacre cannot be established. However, since you dismantled Yamato and bombarded the transport ship after the battle, the charges of illegal destruction and embezzlement of property may not escape. But this clause can use your existing meritorious service to request compensation for punishment. In addition, the alliance may If you take economic sanctions against you, you will be put under a lot of pressure on the workers. This may be what the Alliance wants to do to you the most. However, if you accept the help of the Dragon Alliance, we can help you minimize the punishment, even if there are no workers. We can also send you support." Hua Tianrui said to Shen Yi: "Don't worry about the jury, although the six adventurers were recruited by the Star Alliance, forgive them for not daring to openly confront the four major organizations. We just need to Give them some words, and they don't dare to go too far in some things."
For Longmeng, this is undoubtedly the best opportunity to win over Shen Yi.
The Star Alliance didn't want to kill Shen Yi, they just wanted to punish him, and the punishment left everyone speechless.
With Shen Yi's current strength, even if he accepts punishment, it won't hurt too much vitality.
But any adventurer will not accept losses, especially for workers, the friendship from the Dragon League is extremely important.
Unexpectedly, Shen Yi shook his head: "I'm not worried about the workers."
"En?" Hua Tianrui was taken aback.
"But I know that with your energy, you can indeed do me a favor."
"how do you want to do it?"
"I hope the court will charge me with an additional charge?"
"What?" Hua Tianrui froze.
"The crime of sabotaging the united front." Shen Yi replied.
The crime of sabotaging the united front is a law that was established between the Star Alliance and adventurers. To be honest, this is the crime that applies to the relationship between Shen Yi and the Star Alliance.
But this crime is not used to restrain adventurers, but to restrain people in the alliance.
So it doesn't exist in war crimes, it exists in interstellar league law.
It is for this reason that the crime of sabotaging the United Front does not apply to Shen Yi.
But at this moment Shen Yi proposed to add this crime.
"They can't use this law against you."
"They can, just use the extradition treaty."
"There are no other countries here, no extradition treaty."
"Then sign one. I'm from the Eastern District. The Dragon Alliance can sign the extradition treaty on my behalf, formally extradite me to the Star Alliance, and then accept the trial of the local law. If they want to, there is nothing wrong with prosecuting for murder. In short, I just ask for the crime of sabotaging the united front."
Hua Tianrui was completely dumbfounded: "Why on earth did you do this?"
"For the sake of fairness." Shen Yi replied with a smile: "I think this is the only crime that applies to me. Everyone is equal before the law, and there can be no distinction between the inside and the outside. Longmeng has great powers. This small matter will definitely help me. .”
—————————————
Twenty minutes later, Shen Yi came to the hotel that Longmeng had prepared for him.
Had a hot shower, had dinner, and then met some visiting friends.
There are many visiting friends, including familiar ones like Cliff, Asura, and Meryl, as well as some unfamiliar people.
Tomorrow is the day to go to court, the matter is so big, and the one who is being judged is Shen Yi, who is currently the most popular among the adventurers and has the highest reputation, with 32 battleships. I ran over to watch the fun.
Lao Meng was too busy to come to the new base, but he still made a phone call to send his blessings.
After all the guests had left, Shen Yi saw that it was getting late, and walked up to the hotel roof alone.
The night wind was blowing, Shen Yi stood on the edge of the roof and looked at the scenery in the distance.
The night of the system star is very beautiful, a bit like the future city in the Star Wars world, the numerous forts do not diminish its magnificence, but give people a rough and majestic feeling.
However, Shen Yi's eyes did not stay on those forts, but more on some inconspicuous black buildings.
There are many black buildings scattered on the system star, but few people know its function.
They look like black spots on the planet, a fully enclosed structure, and no one can usually see people coming in and out, but there are some heavily armed soldiers guarding each building, holding equipment in their hands. Gauss rifle with armor-piercing bullets, this weapon has a certain lethality even against adventurers.
"It's really heavily guarded." Shen Yi chuckled.
"It's just a necessary guarantee." A voice suddenly came from behind Shen Yi.
This voice appeared suddenly, even Shen Yi didn't notice it beforehand.
Shen Yi looked back, and saw an old man in white robe standing behind him.
Judging from his appearance, the other party should be a Chinese, but Shen Yi noticed that there was no bloody emblem on his hand.
What really deserves Shen Yi's attention is his old face... It has been a long time since Bloody City has seen such an old person.
Even Ye Dongsheng, who was promoted to be an old fox by Shen Yi, was only in his thirties in real age.
But the one in front of him seems to be at least over sixty.
The old man smiled at Shen Yi and walked over.
He stood beside Shen Yi, put his hands on the railing, looked at the scenery below, and said as if talking to himself: "You know that the enemies of human beings are sometimes not just aliens."
"Or it should be said that as a ruler, he is even more afraid of the same race than the foreign race." Shen Yi leaned on the railing, looked at the old man and asked.
"You can see it." The old man smiled and pointed to the distance: "Yes, the system star is actually a fortress, a fortress that can move in the sky, just like the Death Star. The drive inside the planet also has the function of releasing the energy shield...it is the most outstanding work in my life, just like your grand cosmic plan."
"You used it to defeat the Queres?"
The old man let out a low laugh.
He shook his head: "No, we use it to defeat the Zerg. The Queres are spiritual bodies. To deal with them, the fortress is meaningless."
"But you still support the Great Universe Project."
"That can at least deal with the ultimate brood." The old man chuckled and said, "That thing evolves very fast... Now it is not easy to find an adventurer who can deal with the ultimate brood."
"But you are still going to send such an adventurer to prison."
"Don't complain, young man. The Star Alliance and adventurers are interdependent, and you must know how to respect each other. Conducting a trial in a fair manner and making a judgment is conducive to the maintenance of order. Besides, you may not lose, right? ? You look well prepared."
"Is that so..." Shen Yi thought for a while, he didn't answer the old man's later question, he just touched his chin and said, "You mean, you can confirm that the trial is fair?"
The old man smiled: "No, I can't. Although I can do that, if I do that, the order will have no meaning."
"Is injustice a kind of order?"
"It belongs to the opposite of order. You may not like it, but it must exist..." the old man said leisurely. He turned around to look at Shen Yi: "Oh, I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Shen Shan."
"Your surname is Shen?" Shen Yi was slightly surprised.
"Yes, we are of the same clan." The old man said with a smile.
"God is indeed surnamed Shen." Shen Yi also laughed.
"Human beings don't need God." The old man replied earnestly: "Our mission is to eliminate all existences that may become God."
