Chapter 577: Gu Yunqing’s Ending!
Everyone turned to look at Xue Xi again.
Xue Xi slowly said, “You’ve made ample preparations for this matter and have thought things through. As for you having the same clothes as Fang Fang, you’d bought them two months prior.”
Gu Yunqing was stunned.
Xue Xi continued, “Although Fang Fang earned money, she’d donate it to the orphanage, so she is very thrifty. She only has two sets of clothes, a black hoodie and a white hoodie. The style of the clothes was also that of what’s bought in online shops, so it’s very cheap.”
Gu Yunqing bit her lip. “What’s wrong with me buying clothes? I often buy clothes!”
Xue Xi lowered her eyes. “But your clothes have always been branded. Most are at least tens of thousands, and there are very few that are less than a few thousand. Why would you spend 58 yuan to buy a hoodie?”
Gu Yunqing remained stubborn. “Can’t I?”
Xue Xi said clearly, “This doesn’t make sense, and there must be something fishy about this. I checked your purchase records and you bought the same clothes as Fang Fang. One is black and the other is white. You were prepared long ago. On the day Liu Zhao died, you didn’t have class and appeared in the school building. After Liu Zhao died, your black hoodie was lost because you changed your clothes and threw it in the bathroom upstairs!”
Gu Yunqing shouted, “This is all your guess. Even if I bought the exact same clothes, it can’t be used as evidence! If you don’t have any evidence, I won’t admit it!”
Xue Xi lowered her eyes. “Who said there’s no witness?”
Gu Yunqing’s eyes widened.
Xue Xi looked up and fixed her gaze on her. “That day, a cleaner happened to see you changing, so someone saw you.”
Gu Yunqing widened her eyes in shock and looked at Xue Xi in disbelief.
Someone testified…
How could this be? How could this be?!
Xue Xi then pointed at the video. “Moreover, Fang Fang is petite while you are taller. By making a comparison using technology, I can tell that this is you.”
Fang Fang liked to wear a loose-fitting hoodie, so her figure could not be seen. If it was filmed in a video, if a short person was close to the camera, they could appear tall. Hence, without any reference, it was impossible to tell who was who with the naked eye. This was also the reason for the misunderstanding, but the police’s skills were good.
With all the evidence, it was useless for Gu Yunqing to deny it.
Jing Fei waved his hand and someone immediately went forward to grab her.
Zheng Zhi frowned. As the culprit had suddenly changed, they had to wait for the outcome of the trial. As for Fang Fang, Yu Da, and the rest, they were still standing in the judgment seat.
Zheng Zhi frowned and stared at them. “Even if you guys didn’t kill anyone, there are still many things that crossed the bottom line of the law. We still need to renegotiate our decision about you guys!”
The few of them nodded.
Zheng Zhi then turned to look at Xue Xi. Thinking of what he often said, saying that ordinary people could not solve cases, he clenched his jaw and remained silent.
Jing Fei praised, “Sister Xi, you’re too awesome! Your deduction skills are amazing!”
Xue Xi shook her head. “You guys have special abilities, so you’re used to relying on them. However, you lack basic human nature and logical analysis.”
She took out a Criminal Psychology book from her bag and a Logic Analysis book. She then took out a book called “Theory of Force” and said to Jing Fei and Zheng Zhi, “I don’t know how to solve cases. I learned them on the spot. You guys should read more when you’re free.”
Jing Fei: “…”
Zheng Zhi, who was discussing with a few colleagues beside him: “…”
He frowned and was just about to say something when someone knocked on the wall. Zheng Zhi was stunned. He then exchanged glances with his colleagues from the court. They walked past the wall and went behind it.
Just as he reached the room at the back, he saw a man in black standing there lazily. When he looked up, his cold and pale face showed a murderous aura.
The group of them immediately stood up and said, “General Xiang!”
Xiang Huai nodded and his sharp eyes swept across Zheng Zhi. He asked, “Is the result out?”
Jing Fei was in charge of arresting and solving crimes.
Zheng Zhi was in charge of the court department and of doling out punishment. The few elders of the court had a unanimous discussion and the result was: “Gu Yunqing is sentenced to death and will be executed immediately. Although Yu Da’s society has tread on the edge of the law, it originated from punishing evil and advocating for good. Hence, they are sentenced to three years in prison. General Xiang, do you have any objections?”
Xiang Huai lowered his eyes and looked at Zheng Zhi. His expression was very cold. “Initially, there hadn’t been any objections. However, the handful of you did not know that someone was being forced to confess during the interrogation.”
The few elders were stunned. “What happened?”
Xiang Huai nodded slightly. Someone beside him played the video of Gu Yunqing interrogating Fang Fang and Yu Da. He said calmly, “If they don’t want to speak the truth, they’re in the wrong for hindering the case, but beating them up is also a mistake of the special department. We must compensate them.”
The few elders frowned and nodded.
In the end, someone said, “Then let’s detain them for 15 days and educate them. Have them sign a guarantee that they won’t break the law again, alright?”
This punishment was considered very light.
Xiang Huai was still dissatisfied.
If that’s the case, wouldn’t the little kid’s efforts these last few days be in vain?
He raised an eyebrow and said, “They’re still injured.”
Everyone: “…”
…
In the front hall of the court.
Everyone was waiting for the final trial. Xue Xi walked up to Fang Fang and Yu Da.
Bottle, Water, and Flight were relatively far away, but they still said, “If it weren’t for the president, one of you would have died here! Why didn’t you tell us about this earlier?”
Fang Fang and Yu Da remained silent.
At this moment, they were all feeling a lingering fear. If not for the president’s efforts to turn the tide, they might have really been schemed against and lost their lives!
Xue Xi slowly said, “You guys should believe in the law.”
These words made the two of them look up.
Xue Xi said, “Being self-righteous and doing good for others doesn’t solve the problem completely. If you guys had told the truth from the start, I believe the law would not have let the bad guys off and wrongly accused the good guys. Why would it be so troublesome then?”
Both of them looked at her with solemn expressions. It was obvious that they had heard her words. At this moment, all the words that they could say had turned into one sentence. They said sincerely, “President, thank you.”
Xue Xi: “The justice club has been disbanded.”
The moment she said this, the two of them looked at each other and did not retort. That’s right. How could they have the face to follow Sister Xi after doing such a thing?
Just as they were thinking this, Xue Xi said, “But the Roaring Flame Society still exists. I wonder if you guys are interested in joining?”
The eyes of Fang Fang, Yu Da, Water, Bottle, and Flight instantly turned red. They smiled and said in unison, “We are willing to pay the price for our past mistakes. Sister Xi, we will look for you when we are released from prison.”
“Okay.”
They all thought that they would definitely be sentenced to three to five years after making so many mistakes.
Half an hour later, Zheng Zhi and the other judges returned to the court.
Everyone stood up and waited for Zheng Zhi’s judgment. “According to China’s special law, the punishment for Liu Zhao’s murder is as follows:
“Yu Da, Fang Fang… The five of you are sentenced to be dismissed from the Justice on Heaven’s Behalf Club. The five of you…”
He looked up and met Xue Xi’s eyes. His eyes were still filled with dissatisfaction and disgust, but his words were: “…are released from this court!”
Xue Xi raised an eyebrow.
Released from the court? How…
She subconsciously looked behind the wall of the court and her eyes flickered.
Zheng Zhi continued to announce, “Gu Yunqing is suspected of premeditated murder and has yet to repent. Her crimes are serious and she is sentenced to death. Execute her immediately!”
Gu Yunqing’s legs went weak and she fell to the ground.
She sat there in a daze. Suddenly, cold sweat broke out on her forehead and her body started trembling involuntarily.
Her drug addiction kicked in!
She struggled and wanted to take her bag and drink the beverage, but she was restrained and could not move.
A sharp pain and numbness slowly spread throughout her body. The flesh on her body that was hit by Xue Xi also started to hurt. Moreover, it was several times, more than ten times the pain!
She extended her hand. “Drink, give me a drink. My drink…”
Jing Fei sensed that something was amiss and walked over to take out her drink to take a sniff. Only then did he say, “So you’re actually taking hallucinogens. Looks like I have to first help you quit drugs before executing the death sentence!”
The process of rehabilitation was the most painful.
He wanted her to experience pain before she died!
Gu Yunqing wanted to say something, but her drug addiction kicked in. She fell to the ground and twitched.
Jing Fei took a step back in disdain. “She looks so scary. Hurry up, bring her to the prison and lock her up!”
After Gu Yunqing was taken away, Xue Xi was still staring at the wall.
At this moment, Jing Fei walked in front of her. “Sister Xi, erm, welcome to the special department, but…”
He scratched his head. “It’s like this. Can I draw a tube of your blood? Cough, everyone who enters our department has to have the genetic ratio of the special abilities in their blood verified. This is the normal process.”
Xue Xi did not mind this and extended her arm. “Oh, come.”
Jing Fei took out a syringe and drew a blood vessel.
Xue Xi asked, “Do ordinary people also have a genetic score?”
Jing Fei nodded. “That’s right. Everyone actually has limitless potential. It’s just that some have been stimulated while others have not. The higher the genetic ratio, the higher the chances of it being triggered. However, this doesn’t mean that ordinary people don’t have special genes.”
Xue Xi suddenly understood. “Oh.”
After the blood was drawn, Jing Fei carefully put away the blood. At this moment, Zheng Zhi walked over and glanced at Xue Xi. He snorted and said to Jing Fei, “That’s really superfluous! The genetic scores of an ordinary person like her have never exceeded 1. What’s there to verify?”
The genetic ratio of those with special abilities was about 5 and above before it could be activated. The average person’s was below 1.
Jing Fei pouted and comforted Xue Xi. “Sister Xi, don’t worry. This is just a number and it needs to be recorded in the file. Moreover, Sister Xi, you’re so smart and your studies are so impressive. You might even reach 2!”
Zheng Zhi sneered. “A normal person can reach 2? Ha, are you joking?”
Jing Fei: “…You black-faced judge, can you shut up? Let me tell you, Sister Xi is very smart…”
Zheng Zhi: “No matter how smart she is, it’s impossible for her to reach 2. So many years of data have shown that no ordinary person can reach 2! Moreover, there are barriers between ordinary people and espers. How can an ordinary person be worthy of… that person?”
Who was the boss? He was a top-notch person among espers. How could an ordinary person hope to be with such a person?
Jing Fei was furious and shouted, “Zheng Zhi, let me tell you. If Sister Xi’s genetic score is 2, then you’ll have to kneel down and apologize to her!”
Zheng Zhi sneered. “Send her for an examination now. The results can be out immediately. If she has 2, I can call you Dad.”
