There was nothing Lao Jiang could do against those shameless senior relatives and friends of the sect.

Although the living standards in the new city are based on the harsh exploitation of the old city, those who have the ability to leave Crescent Space City and start a new life in the vast world outside are all those with vested interests.

But since there is no evidence of guilt, we can only let them continue to be at ease. At most, they will be recorded in a small book and included in China's watch list.

Since the United Fleet took over the space city, the strict hierarchy established by the Order has disappeared.

Eliminating the economic relationship of interest monopoly is equivalent to eliminating the existence of "class". Those people in the new urban area are actually alive.

As for whether life is good or not, for some people, it may not be a good thing.

Especially for those who are deeply addicted to drugs, life is very difficult.

The International Court of Justice finally convened in the autumn of 2282.

It is located in the joint base city on the southwest plateau of China.

After rigorous evidence collection and examination, every member of the cult in the dock was guilty beyond any doubt.

Institutional crime, with conclusive evidence and serious circumstances. Members of the criminal group were sentenced in batches.

In the days that followed, the court continued to hear various individual criminal acts concealed by the system.

There are so many vicious crimes committed by the religious gangsters in the old city that those who heard about them are horrified. These people are of low status, and some of them are not even "low-level shepherd dogs" in their status hierarchy. On the surface, it seems that the noble "low-level shepherd dogs" in the new city are

"Shepherd" and "Senior Shepherd" are much cleaner than them.

The court schedule was very full. Initially, these individual crime trials were very popular.

As the freshness wears off, the heat also drops.

Not only were the thugs brutal, but their crimes were filled with content that was not suitable for children, they were also disgusting. Just hearing the plot of that kind of trial could make one feel uncomfortable for several days.

What is even more disturbing is that no matter how serious the crime is, the maximum sentence is life imprisonment. The gangsters used to live in the old city, and relied on fly maggots to supplement protein in their working meals. When they heard the sentence, they were more happy than being released in court.

Who wouldn’t be happy with a lifetime free meal ticket? The longer the punishment, the happier you will be.

The collective punishment of the top leaders of the sect is even more ridiculous. Except for a few core members who are imprisoned for life, others will be released after a few years of imprisonment. The more than one year they were imprisoned on the near-Earth space station must be deducted.

Therefore, the onlookers began to wait for winter, waiting to see the murderer "Zhang Lanyue" hold court.

"Zhang Lanyue" and Zhang Chen were ranked on the same day.

Lan Mo is Zhang Lanyue, and in the main courtroom, he is the main meal that attracts attention that day; Zhang Chen and others' other cases are arranged in the side hall, which is considered a side dish.

Zhang Lanyu's case is the follow-up to the wanted order of the religious group. The wanted order was submitted to the Federation and the International Court of Justice by the religious group. Now that the trial has been held, it can be regarded as a conclusion.

"Zhang Lanyue! You are responsible for your child!"

Lan Mo took Xiao Dai and stood in the open square in front of the court. He adjusted the shooting equipment habitually and checked whether his appearance from multiple angles was perfect. Then he heard a strange shout.

At first he didn't care.

Because...he is no longer Zhang Lanyue, and no one usually calls him that.

"Zhang Lanyue! Take a look..."

Xiao Dai calmly poked him.

Lan Mo looked around and saw a strange group running in the square.

A big gray-white dog rushed in front, slithering a child on the other end of the dog's leash, and a woman chased behind them, her windbreaker fluttering like a big moth.

That woman looked a little familiar to Lan Mo.

When he sees a familiar woman, he feels uncomfortable all over. He always wants to kill himself or the other person. This is an incurable disease that he suffered from many years ago.

Behind the woman was a short, fat man, too fat to tell whether he was a man or a woman. He was chasing the woman, children and dogs briskly.

Lan Mo looked more familiar... I could only guess that she was also a woman.

The dogs and people disappeared like a gust of wind. Early in the morning, his whole body felt bad.

Then he saw Zhang Chen and Zhang Pan accompanying a group of girls looking around in the square.

The girls stopped and stood still far away. Under the leadership of Zhang Chen, they aimed at their father and bowed. They were very polite.

The two boys were here. Lan Mo looked around and saw Xiaomai and Xiaoshen, who took care of them every day.

Wheat walked up to him and said seriously:

"Everyone at the experimental base wishes you good luck."

Lan Mo was stunned: "You are Wei Baoshun."

"Well, Zhang Lanwei is in retreat writing music, and all important matters have been entrusted to me."

"Uh, thanks." Lan Mo looked at Li Yixiao. "What about you? Are you a human?"

"I've made a special trip to accompany you." Xiao Shen is a real person.

"Are you missing class again?"

"After the main class, leave the rest to the graduate students!"

All these people came together to make the Day of Judgment look like a grand festival.

Zhang Pan followed Zhang Lanyue into the main trial hall and continued to serve as the live mannequin of 18-year-old Zhang Lanyue. Wei Baoshun and Li Yixiao also followed.

The auditorium was filled with people from the media. It was only after the trial began that Zhang Chen sneaked in with his sisters based on their close kinship, and stood at the end to listen for a while.

The task force acted as the prosecutor. The trial process was long but smooth.

There was insufficient evidence of murder after Zhang Lanyu was released from prison. Since he was freed, he, a little technical expert, has been busy wreaking havoc, and he has completely disappeared from surveillance throughout the space city.

On the contrary, the video evidence during his imprisonment is very sufficient. This evidence can fully prove that he was deprived of freedom and lived in extremely poor conditions. He had no clothes and bedding all year round. His original underwear was worn out and still hung on his body.

The food was mainly dry steamed buns, raw cabbage and boiled eggs. Compared with the space city twenty years later, it was like heaven. However, the daily menu of the religious canteens at the same time was rich in vegetables, sauces, fish, shrimp, chicken and duck meat.

, not much different from food on earth.

He lived like a savage without dignity. The images of his imprisonment and human clone experiments jointly proved the cult's cruelty to him.

The only thing that can confirm that Zhang Lanyu committed murder is the surveillance video on the day he escaped.

But this killing, the court determined, was causally related to imprisonment and mutilation.

The cult has actually collected the testimonies of many witnesses.

The believers were preparing to catch Zhang Lanyu and try him by the religious court affiliated with the religious order. A long list of charges had been fixed. The various efforts to arrest Zhang Lanyu were once very cohesive collective activities.

The compiled witness list and testimonial collection are now in the hands of the International Tribunal.

Among the witnesses, all were members of the religious sect. As long as they were still alive, many of them appeared in court in person or virtually.

They all spoke very nicely, and they were the highlight of the trial that attracted media attention.

"A friend I know is missing..."

"Someone walked in from one end of the viewing gallery and never came out again..."

"Everyone who saw the murderer died... He had black wings and appeared in the shadows..."

All the testimonies sounded elusive, and the invisible murderer was elusive, which was frightening to hear.

But the final direction is somewhat... supernatural.

Zhang Lanyue is like a ghost.

...The story is too mysterious. The court will not accept it and cannot accept it.

The eyes of the masses are sharp.

In the inter-sect killings after the space city was torn apart, there were also witnesses from the sect who also targeted Zhang Lanyu.

This was beyond Lan Mo's expectation. He showed evidence in court that he had obtained an identity bracelet on the day he arrived in China.

The killings back then began at the ritual site, and there happened to be video evidence of the live broadcast.

This matter really has nothing to do with Zhang Lanyue.

What had something to do with him was the tearing apart of Space City. The cult also made accusations, but could not provide any evidence.

Judging from Zhang Chen's performance in making electromagnetic explosive bombs, Zhang Lanyu is probably capable of destroying Space City. However, true evidence must be sought in court. Even if there is reliable evidence, it was destroyed during the civil strife of the Space City cult.

The court pronounced in court: Zhang Lanyue was not guilty.

Lan Mo stood up from the dock and took out a pair of scissors from his clothes. He grinned.

People around him almost thought he was going to commit murder in court.

He pulled his long hair, cut it short, and shook his head.

He put down the scissors, took off his Zhang Lanyue jacket, dropped it on the dock, and turned around to leave.

Lan Mo found the criminal court in the side hall, and the trial of Zhang Chen's case was in progress.

He is over nineteen years old. It was three years ago that he escaped from the space city in a small collecting boat.

As the public prosecutor, the task force obtained a large amount of video evidence from the space city airport. It proved that the thin and disabled Zhang Chen was not coerced by Master Fa when he entered the collection boat.

The images collected in the small boat cannot prove the cause of Master Fa's death.

Master Fa was locked in the equipment warehouse. The mechanical arm restricted his movements, but water was brought in regularly. Through the images, it was determined that Master Fa was violent and had posed a life threat to Zhang Chen. He was not released for a long time.
