Chapter 97 The so-called --

"I believe that a breakthrough will be made soon. It would not be surprising if we found that a terrorist organization composed of republican radicals was involved in the bombing.

Imperial Times - "Wuchang Wharf's Little New Year Terrorist Attack Seven"

After a normal terrorist attack or terrorist incident, an organization will immediately claim responsibility for that incident. For example, after the assassination of the vice governor of Jilin Province, someone sent a letter to the newspaper, and the letter was a statement printed with a typewriter, saying: "The Patriotic Society of Jilin Province declared responsibility for the assassination of the vice governor in the name of the sacred motherland." At the same time, the statement said that they were "realizing the republic for China and overthrowing [*** "The warriors" and the purpose of their actions is very simple - "kill the [[***] emperor's lackeys and warn other lackeys."

However, after the Wuchang Xiaonian bombing, it was unexpected that no organization announced responsibility for the bombing through traditional newspapers or emerging broadcasts, which was like an attack without a responsible person. But even so, people still looked suspiciously at the republicans in the first place. After all, they have many criminal record of terrorist attacks.

Therefore, the investigators targeted them at the first time. At the same time, domestic newspapers have also turned their suspicious eyes to them. There is almost no doubt about the large-scale arrests, and the scope of arrests is not limited to Hubei Province, but nationwide.

Tens of thousands of republicans were arrested, thousands of kilograms of explosives, and a large number of terrorist attack plans. Although those so-called terrorist attacks were just attacks on parcel bombs, detonating cars, and destroying postal trains, etc., for prosecutors, they immediately tried to create terror in the first place. The criminal of the attack will be prosecuted.

At the same time, in the face of the tragedy of thousands of deaths, in the court, the jurors who were full of anger of "betraying the country and slaughtering the people" seemed to know what the questioning evidence was. In the face of the explosives displayed by the prosecutor, and even only one or two catties of black gunpowder, they made a guilty verdict, and that Some judges often unanimously choose a heavy sentence, as if overnight, the whole country is shrouded in hatred in the past and the future.

"More and more people were sent to prison. Yesterday, 32 people were sentenced in Anhui. Several college students were convicted of murder just because they held an unregistered pistol, so they were sentenced to 20 years in prison..."

In the palace, looking at her husband, Ji Li said gently that in the past two weeks, as the queen, she received letters from all over the country, many of which were from the parents, brothers, sisters and friends of the so-called "enemy of the country". In their letters, they were all the exception. For their relatives, they firmly believe that their relatives are innocent and "victims of the whole country's grief and indignation".

"On a train, a man was regarded as a terrorist just because he had a copy of "The Future of the Republic", and the escort was handcuffed in the carriage for three hours!"

Speaking of the events that happened after the country fell into panic, Ji Li frowned slightly. In the past, she never knew that an attack could have such a great impact on the psychology of the people of a country. Although a bullet in Sarajevo detonated the world war, the whole world was killed because of those bullets. However, when it comes to an event that changes the mentality of hundreds of millions of people in a country, I'm afraid that in the history of mankind, no incident can be compared with the Wuchang wharf terrorist attack.

It can be said that since then, this country has lost its tolerance for republicanism. People have kept their distance from those people, while more people call them "enemies of the country". "They are a group of pawns used by foreign enemy Chinese elements, and what they pursue It has never been the strength of the country, or the so-called equality of all. What they pursue is to destroy the country and slaughter the people here. For such people, we can only have one attitude - turn them into mice, and everyone shouts to fight!"

Originally, the country and the people here were extremely tolerant. Ji Li saw her husband sign an order to send millions of former rulers and Han annior into forced labor camps. She also saw in Congress that those legislators who seemed to have no power attacked forced labor out of justice. The "un injustice" in the camp, and finally, with their efforts, the forced labor camp was disbanded, and millions of people ended the "labor reform".

The Chinese have once again proved their tolerance to the world! Right and wrong, leave it for historical examination! This is a sentence signed by her husband when he signed the order. Perhaps on some issues, he is a little extreme, but Ji Li has never doubted his kindness, just like now.

"As Your Majesty, you have the right to pardon them!"

Looking at her husband with anticipation, Ji Li knew that he was likely to pardon them.

"But..."

Looking at his wife, although he understood that there must be a lot of "false and wrong cases" in it, Chen Moran's matter was far from that simple.

"As their parents, I also have the right to protect them!"

At this time, Chen Moran did not put himself in the position of emperor, but in the position of "parent".

"They may be making mistakes, and I may be able to pardon some people, but what's the point? My pardon did not correct the mistake! I even acquiesced in my mistake!"

At this time, Chen Moran's words were somewhat helpless.

"All cases are made by a jury, who have heard the evidence and made its verdict. Our judicial system requires respect for their decisions. Even as an emperor, I need to respect their decision. At this moment, I think the only thing I need to do is to think of the families of the innocent victims in that terrible crime and pray for them, which is the only thing we have to do.

JURY is an indispensable part of the current judicial system. Why did I choose the jury system in the many judicial systems in the world? The jury system is not an invention of the Chinese people. In fact, it is also a judicial system introduced in Europe and the United States with the establishment of the legal system.

Until the end of the Qing Dynasty, the judicial system was extremely dark in China's history. Prisons were like hell, and there were many tricks in the government. Even a hundred years later, Chen Moran had suffered from the injustice of the judicial system, and he had witnessed the emergence of "false and wrong cases" one by one, which was also because Therefore, he will be cautious when formulating the judicial system.

"We must avoid the judicial system from being reduced to the umbrella of a few dignitaries as much as possible, and we must do anything to protect judicial companies."

Because of this, as early as the era of the ruling axe, at the suggestion of Zhang Feng and others, the jury system was gradually established in Europe and the same time. After the founding of the empire, Chen Muran affirmed the jury system as part of the constitution. The role of this judicial system in maintaining social fairness and justice is more important than the right to vote. To establish such a system, its legislative spirit is to prevent political axes and officials from abusing their power and trampling on the justice of society.

Of course, the jury system has obvious weaknesses, but all "legal system" will have the confusion of "human system". The initial legislation, trial process, and final judgment have the participation of "people". After the predecessors legislate, there is a possibility that the descendants will revise it. In the process of law enforcement, different people have different interpretations of the provisions of the law. You can see that some of the same legal provisions can be interpreted and implemented in different countries.

No matter what kind of trial system it is, the final "life-and-death judgment" is always made by "people", whether it is a judge, a so-called legal expert or a jury. But in any case, we can see that although the lawyers on both sides have fully presented their respective witness evidence, even legal experts make their own judgments. Different judges and different legal experts will still judge different results.

And the design of the jury system holds that if everything is clear and clear at a glance, the intelligence of ordinary people is enough to judge. If the evidence is contradictory and questionable, the legal instructions of the sentencing case have clearly stipulated that in this case, the defendant must be sentenced to "not guilty". If everything is controversial, the law also stipulates that the trial will fail. Therefore, at this time, the key question is no longer whether the judge is a professional, but whether the judge is fair.

This fairness means that the judge has absolutely no motive to frame the defendant in the first place, and is not affected by any other influence as much as possible, but only based on evidence. The reason why Chen Moran chose the jury system at the beginning, and even did not hesitate to use the constitutional situation to fix it, it was precisely because the jury system had one of the biggest characteristics, that is, jurors were the least controlled by anyone.

This fundamentally avoids the phenomenon of "interfering with the judiciary and influencing justice" that is very common in later generations. That's why Chen Moran has a special preference for the jury system. But now, in this case, it shows the shortcomings of the jury system - the jurors themselves are greatly influenced by public opinion. Now, they The hatred and anger make it difficult for them to distinguish right from wrong.

As a supporter and defender of the jury system, Chen Moran would rather choose to be silent - for universal justice!

"In order to avoid acquiesced in mistakes, I will not pardon anyone!"

"What if someone is sentenced to death?"

...Silence!

Ji Li's answer made Chen Moran fall into silence. What if someone died because of this?

"I think one day, they will realize the mistakes they have made, Ji Li, you still don't know the people here..."

Pointing to the floor under his feet, Chen Moran looked a little solemn.

"People here always look for excuses for their mistakes, or blame the mistakes on a few people. They rarely reflect, just like now, until now, a few people have really reflected on China's lag behind the world after the complacency of the Qing Dynasty. Because, it's good. Although Manqing is the main reason, what about the auxiliary factors? A nation that does not reflect has no future. This may be a mistake, but I hope that this mistake can become the cornerstone of the country's progress..."

Although what is said in the heart is true, on the other hand, Chen Moran's heart is to acquiesce to everything now, because in this process, not only the republican faction has been hit hard, but the Constitutional Cooking Party has also been traumatized. This change has hurt him and this country. The family is extremely favorable.

What's more, in Chen Moran's view, it's far better to clean up the republican faction with the help of "folk" to sweep the republican faction out of China's political stage. In the future, I will have to use the army and bayonet to clean them. Some things will always move in the direction of development of historical needs. This is just the wheel of history. This The wheel itself can't stop it, and it can't stop it.

"But... there is still life under this cornerstone!"

Ji Li was shocked by her husband's decision. She looked at her husband in surprise and seemed to feel so strange from the future as it is now.

"Progress... there is always a price to pay!"

Slowly said these words, and Chen Moran stopped talking. He half-closed his eyes and didn't want to think about those things anymore. Now, at least it's the people's decision, the people's will, and the will of the law, all this is better than ruling with a bayonet!

"The price!"

These words repeatedly appeared in Tanakaoka's mind with a vague consciousness. In the past three days, those Chinese people have used all kinds of means on him, water torture, soldering iron, and all kinds of torture on him. The endless pain is enough to make anyone who promises a man cry loudly and cry for his mother. Mom.

Tanaka Okaichi is the same. When the pain is extreme, he will also cry loudly, crying and moaning to his mother, but the only exception is that he did not beg for mercy.

"From the time I chose this path, I knew how you would deal with me!"

Every time, when a round of punishment is over, Tanaka Okaichi always answers like this in the face of the reviewers, and the frustration on the other party's face and the subsequent anger is a big victory for Tanaka Okaichi. The other party's frustrated expression and the whip on his body when he is angry, just like the most The big reward is generally to support him and support him to continue.

And between each trial, he will always constantly stimulate those who judge him and try to irritate them, but this is not to see their angry expressions, but to let them decisively kill him directly when they are angry. At this time, death is the real relief, but Death is a luxury for him.

Disappointment, another disappointment came to his mind. Although the people who trained him were so annoyed that he almost wanted to jump up, he successfully controlled his emotions. In fact, as a judge, Tanaka Okaichi clearly knew that all of these trainees were strictly trained and their execution skills He is very skilled and will never hurt his life, but he can be tortured by the world.

Just like now... "Z..."

A burst of smoke came out of the wound. It was previously cut by a knife, and the wound sprinkled with salt was branded by the soldering iron again. Smelling the smell of meat, Tanaka's mind came to what the examiner said to him when he received such a trial for the first time.

"This is disinfection..."

In the dark, Tanaka lost consciousness again. How many times is this?

At this time, another bucket of cold water fell on him. Tanaka woke up again. He looked at the angry examiner in front of him with a contemptuous smile.

"Yours, like a woman..."

As soon as his voice fell, the man hooked a little muscle between the inner muscles of his thighs with a hook knife. The miserable howl roared out of Tanaka's voice again. He fainted again, but a bucket of water was ready over there. When Tanaka opened his eyes, he only heard one voice.

"Tell me who else!"

The howling came again, but an officer in the dark room next door seemed to sigh helplessly. As he sighed, he took off the leather gloves in his hand, and then handed the general's hat to the soldiers behind him.

"Pain,"

Looking at the prisoner who was in a coma again, who could hardly see much good meat, said the officer who was taking off his military coat in the dark room next door.

"There is a limit for human beings to endure pain. In any training, it is only possible to get the answer within that limit. This category accounts for about 85% of the training, but when that limit is broken, it is the brain's numb to pain. Therefore, at this time, torture is nothing to do. Yes, but this process can only last for an hour. After an hour, the pain nerves and brain will return to normal. In the continuous extreme sprint, only 5% of people will give answers. As for the other 10% of people, they will face everything calmly. They will use facts to let you prove the external brute force. It is impossible to conquer the will, and he..."

The officer who had taken off his military uniform looked at the prisoner who was being tortured in the training room and said to the officials of the investigation bureau beside him.

"He is enjoying torture now. Do you think it is possible for him to compromise under such circumstances?"

When speaking, the officer's face was sarcastic. Maybe the Investigation Bureau had strict training on torture, but they were still a group of lay people. It can be seen from the prisoner's trial that in fact, they were not very smart.

Science, they ignore science!

"What? Don't you believe it?"

The officials of the Investigation Bureau looked at the indifferent officer, listened to his question, and pointed to the prisoner who had been in a coma for a long time.

"If it continues like this, one day he will compromise and enjoy..."

With a sneer, the official's face was full of sneer.

"I will let him enjoy the punishment of his ancestors for 18 generations, but I still don't believe it..."

"Then I'll let you believe it!"

When speaking, the officer had already put on a pair of white gloves.
