Cub Raising Association

The fact that the old Patriarch of the Huo Di family went to Xi Luolin in person and attended the Supreme Court of the Star Alliance has a little shadow on Youxing and some other information platforms of the Star Network.

This was operated by the Huo Di family alone, and the purpose was to pave the way for the follow-up events after winning the trial, and to take back the cubs that developed mutant abilities from the family with a high profile.

Interstellar courts are different from modern courts in many processes. Xie Tao sat on the seat with a calm expression. He had urgently made up for this part of common sense a few days ago.

The sound representing the beginning of the trial has already sounded, and now everything in this court is covered by the recording system. After the trial is over, a permanent record will be kept in the Supreme Court of the Star Alliance.

This record will be shared by all courts who are members of the Star Alliance. If the plaintiff is not fully confident, he will generally not dare to choose to stand here directly.

The rule of whoever advocates is also followed. After the trial started, the person on the suspended platform opposite Xie Luan was the first to speak.

Putting the black cane on the ground, the old Patriarch Huodi who was sitting on the table looked very calm and did not make any remarks. The man standing next to him began to present evidence and gave an overview of his own point of view.

He didn't think there was any difficulty in this trial. After the man finished his presentation, he only grasped the simplest core point and stepped heavily on it: "In the case that there is evidence that the cub clearly belongs to the Huo Di family Under the circumstances, the other party still insists on refusing to cooperate. This behavior is absolutely unreasonable in the laws of the Star Alliance. In other words, this itself is an act that violates the laws of the Star Alliance."

The evidence presented was sufficient to prove the other party's point of view, and it was confirmed that the documents submitted as evidence did not contain any traces of forgery, and the eleven judges who were distributed around the circular field in the higher seats were almost a little biased in their hearts.

The trial requires fairness, but before the trial officially started, the judges present actually felt that there should be no suspense in this trial, because this is indeed a very simple and intuitive case.

On the side of the Huodi family, the man who finished his speech even thought that the person on the other side should not listen to it at all, no matter how hard the other party argued, it was impossible to give a reasonable explanation for this.

Although the judges and grand judges in the upper seats have not made any statement yet, their attitudes can be vaguely seen from the inadvertent nodding movements and changes in expressions of several judges.

But no matter what, the people on both sides of the floating stage have the right to speak. After receiving the signal to speak, Xie Tao stood up from his seat.

"A cub care club needs to be responsible for all the cubs in the club. Based on this principle, I can't let the people sent by the Huodi family take the cubs away." Xie Tao said this sincerely and calmly. All the judges stood up straight in their sights.

From the state of his expression alone, the judge really couldn't say that the opponent's state was not in the slightest. The young man on the floating platform on the right was very calm from the beginning to the end, and his calm was very convincing.

Simply stating his position, Xie Tao entrusted the remaining tasks to the defender next to him, and at the same time moved his gaze to a closed wooden door under the circular building.

Inside the door, there are more than one witnesses who followed them to Xilorin.

"According to the laws of the Star Alliance, families who intentionally abandon their cubs are judged to have lost the custody of their cubs. At the same time, this violates Article 39 of the Star Alliance laws. It is a bad behavior that needs to be punished." The defender said. When these words were spoken, not only did the faces of the people on the opposite seat change slightly, but all the judges present also became more serious when they heard the words "abandoned cubs".

Realizing that there might really be unexpected situations, the eleven judges pulled back all the previous weak biases.

But the defense has not presented them with any substantive evidence, and such a defense is powerless based on speeches alone.

As if hearing what the judge in the seat was thinking, the defender standing next to Xie Tao made a request for a witness to appear in court.

witness?

The few people sitting in the auditorium were all members of the Huodi family. When they heard that the other party had actually invited a witness, the core members of the family gave a little thump, and they finally began to feel a little unsteady.

They handled this matter very cleanly at the beginning, and it was impossible to keep any handles.

The only person who took the money to help their family with the finishing work did what he said before, and took the money and hid it far away.

Even they can't find where this person is now, and it's even more impossible for the other party to find it...

After convincing myself with this reason, the few people in the auditorium just calmed down a little, when the person who came out of the dark brown door below made them completely lost their composure, and their expressions became extremely stiff in an instant.

Even Patriarch Huodi, who had been sitting across from him with a sure-fire attitude from the beginning, had no choice but to hold his cane tightly at this moment.

It was at the Supreme Court of the Star Alliance. No matter how much the Hoddie family wanted to kill the person who came out of the door, they couldn't do anything except cast a threatening look at the other party.

The middle-aged man who entered the arena under the eyes of everyone tremblingly took his place, not daring to make any eye contact with the Huodi family.

As a witness, Aoqi first revealed his identity as soon as he came on stage, and then he also told his experience of working for the Huodi family, directly pointing out the relationship between the two.

"About more than two years ago, the old Patriarch gave me a large sum of money, asking me to abandon the cub on a planet farther away, and told me not to return to Helen Mitte after finishing my work. Go farther away." Aoqi told the judges in the upper seat about this matter, and it could be heard from his voice that he was still in a state of panic at this time, "I was also blindfolded by money at the time. , I have regretted it many times in the past few years, so... that's why I am willing to come out as a witness now."

"Our family has never hired such a servant." The old master Huodi on the prosecution seat hit the ground with his stick, making a dull sound, and his eyes were firmly fixed on the person who just spoke .

The witness's seat was very close to the prosecution's seat. As soon as Aoqi raised his eyes, he met Patriarch Huo Di's oppressive eyes, almost poking a hole in him.

"The price of perjury is very heavy. I advise you not to hurt yourself because of impulsiveness." I don't know where the other party dug out this witness that even their family can't find. Now Huodi's old patriarch has no intention of admitting that the other party once Doing things for their family, insisting that the other party is perjury.

After saying the price, Patriarch Huodi has already released a threat, as long as the other party is not stupid, he can tell that there is a hint of revenge.

Being threatened with chills down his spine, Aoqi gulped his saliva before he managed to run away under the eagle-like eyes of the old man. Cold sweat had already broken out on his forehead due to excessive anxiety.

Ask him if he is afraid of the revenge of the Huodi family, of course he is afraid - if he was not caught by the Star Alliance investigation team and learned the identities of those who arrested him, then he would have given Aoqi 1 courage , He did not dare to come to court as a witness.

Those who had captured him assured him that he would not suffer any vengeance from the Hoddie family, and that his willingness to be present as a witness would lighten the punishment a little on his part in the abandonment of the cubs.

"First of all, the witness cannot prove that he has worked in the Huodi family, because it is an unwarranted thing. Under this premise, we do not believe that the witness's testimony can have any effect." Standing next to the old Patriarch Huodi The prosecutor's lawyer also immediately killed this point, directly labeling the middle-aged man standing on the witness stand as a perjury.

How could the other party produce evidence that he had done something to the Huo Di family?

After thinking about it for a while, the members of the Huo Di family thought that the other party would not be able to get it out.What kind of evidence can there be for this kind of thing? It was dealt with cleanly a few years ago, and now they insist that there is no evidence.

At the beginning, they shouldn't have given money to the other party to hide away. They should have dealt with him directly. This is the only thing that the Huo Di family regrets now.

In this way, a person suddenly appeared and said that he had a relationship with the Huo Di family, and he was also a person who disappeared completely in the past few years. As a witness, the credibility of the other party's statement was indeed limited.

But just when the judges were about to agree with the prosecution's remarks, the middle-aged man on the witness stand spoke again.

"I have evidence." Facing the dark gaze not far away, Aoqi said this under tremendous psychological pressure.

He has evidence. He didn't get this evidence. He doesn't have the ability. The evidence in hand is due to the people sent by the military investigation team to arrest him.

When the other party hunted him down, the profile of the Huo Di family's personnel flow in recent years was a piece of data recorded in the optical brain, and the investigation team hacked into the optical brain.

The evidence was presented and confirmed to be valid proof. All the judges present, including the grand judge, showed dumb expressions one after another.

The other party really didn't talk nonsense about the relationship between himself and the Huo Di family, and the latter was so eager to deny this fact just now, the amount of information fed back in it seemed a bit large.

A member of a big family had intentionally abandoned the cub, and now for some unknown reason he wanted to recognize it back. The judges who touched the truth felt absurd at this moment.

Aoqi didn't mention the reason why the Huodi family abandoned the cubs. This is because Xie Tao told him before that it is not necessary to mention it. The mermaid cubs in the branch cannot speak is a thing of the past. This thing was just buried.

Cubs with language barriers will receive a lot of contempt in the mermaid race. Xie Tao can't change the concept of a race. If the matter is buried here, the cubs will not be blamed for their childhood defects when they grow up. talk about things.

"If the judge still has doubts about my speech, I can also submit a polygraph report, hoping it can be used as a reference." Standing on the witness stand, Aoqi knew that he had no turning back, so he Gritting his teeth again, he said the words.

In interstellar courts, submitting a polygraph report is a very common method. This polygraph report cannot be used as substantive evidence, but it can be used as a reference to increase the credibility of the submitter's statement in the eyes of the jury.

Finally, the polygraph report was submitted, and it was printed with a mark of passing with a high score, and the judges had already weighed it in their hearts.

It never occurred to the other party to produce evidence, and seemed indifferent to the hinted revenge. Huo Di's old master squeezed the cane so hard that it almost broke the cane head.

The No. 1 witness who appeared in court had caused chaos on the Huodi family, but this round of attack was not over yet. Soon, the No. 2 witness was summoned to appear in court.

They are people of the Saiweila race, and they don't know this witness or the people of the Huodi family present.

But their nerves were tense, and they dare not take it lightly in the face of a seemingly unrelated witness.

"I was the one who sent the cub to the Yunbao branch, and I found the cub at the abandoned site of Planet Gaia. From this point, I can prove that the cub was maliciously abandoned." The person standing on the suspension platform The Sevillas on the boat did not look sideways, and stated their testimony very firmly, "When the cub was found, the cub was already in a serious dehydration state, I put it back into the water immediately, and I took it to the cub hospital, and the medical records in the hospital can be used as evidence for what I said."

After the witness finished speaking the testimony, Xie Tao pressed the button on the floating platform and presented the two pieces of evidence together.

One is the identity record of the person who sent the cub when the Yunbao branch adopted the cub, and the other is the medical record that the other party said. Xie Tao specifically asked the other party for agency rights and ran away. Got it after a trip to the cub hospital.

After proving that the cub was intentionally abandoned, and the circumstances were so serious that it almost caused the cub's death, Xie Tao was not going to let the Huodi family have the slightest possibility of defense in the Supreme Court.

After the jury read the submitted medical records, the expressions of most of the judges immediately became solemn.

According to the medical records, the severely dehydrated mermaid cub was almost on the verge of life and death, and its life was extremely dangerous. Thanks to the person who picked it up and put it back into the water immediately, it was able to survive.

Such an experience is too cruel for a cub, just thinking about it makes one's spine chill.

"I have another video here that may not be strong evidence, but it can be used as an additional reference." With the permission of the jury, Xie Tao put a chip he brought into the groove of the console, and the content of the video began to play. on the virtual screen.

The scene shown is the Rainbow Dash Club.

A mermaid cub was swimming close to the edge of the pool, and the human youth standing in front of the cub knelt down to stroke the cub's hair, and then slowly lifted the mermaid cub out of the water with both hands , into his arms.

The content of the video was very short, and it was played in less than 20 seconds. Xie Tao froze the video at the countdown seconds, and said, "Because of the experience of almost dying of dehydration, this cub became very afraid of leaving the water. Now the situation has changed. However, from the reaction of the cubs in the video, I believe this psychological barrier can still be clearly seen."

The cub's instinctive reaction is not deceiving. Although the mermaid cub in the video no longer struggles desperately as soon as it leaves the water, the slight stiffness and fear it showed at the moment of leaving the water have not completely disappeared.

One thing is very intuitive. After leaving the water, the mermaid cub instinctively sought a sense of security from the young man, and slowly relaxed after nestling in the young man's arms for a while.

"The prosecution's deliberate abandonment of the cub has already caused irreparable consequences. I don't think such a family has any qualifications to claim the cub again. Except for the harm, they have not fulfilled the slightest responsibility for the cub's care." Xie Xie Luan also had a temper, but he restrained his emotional impulse and ended his speech.

Being directly and mercilessly accused in person, and with sufficient evidence from the other party, everyone in the Huo Di family present had the embarrassing feeling of being stripped off and thrown on the ground.

Originally, there should be another round of debate between the two sides, but now that the witnesses and evidence from the young man's side came out, the people from the Huodi family were completely speechless, which made the entire jury see this the outcome of the trial.

The judgment of the interstellar court is decided after the final discussion of the jury and the votes of the judges and grand judges.

The judges each hold one vote, the chief judge holds two votes, and the party with the most votes wins the case.

The number of votes is directly displayed on the virtual screen. After the judges confirm the votes one after another, the numbers on the virtual screen begin to change.

1, 2, 3—

The numbers on the screen blinked quickly, and a final result was frozen in just a few seconds.

13 AM

It was indeed a trial without any suspense, but its result was completely reversed from what the Hoddy family had imagined, and they became the losing party.

Seeing this result, the old Patriarch Huo Di, who has been holding the cane tightly since just now, and the veins on the back of his hand are bulging because of this, seems to have not slowed down. He couldn't hold the dark black cane in his hand, and the cane fell to the ground. .

Accompanied by the crisp landing sound, the cane still rolled a few times on the ground, just like the current situation of the Huodi family.

After the trial by the Supreme Court of the Star Alliance, the custody of the cubs belonged to the Yunbao branch, which was already a satisfactory result for Xie Tao.

As for the subsequent punishment of the mastermind and accomplices who deliberately abandoned the cubs, this is not what Xie Tao cares about.Xie Tao didn't stay on this planet for too long, and returned to Gaia Star directly on the starship.

But although Xie Tao didn't care about what would happen to the Huo Di family, because of the preparations made by the latter, some people on the Star Network were paying attention to the Huo Di family's movements in the Star Alliance Supreme Court.

As the saying goes, there is no impenetrable wall in the world. The Huodi family lost the case in the Supreme Court and the specific reasons for losing the case have gradually spread during the few days when Xie Tao was still on the commercial starship.

Especially on Yuxing, the members of the mermaid race had the highest participation in discussions.

Regardless of forwarding or commenting, they are all condemnation sentences without exception. The behavior of deliberately abandoning a cub is extremely bad, and the other party is a big family, and there is no possibility of understanding.

Originally, the Huodi family was already in dire straits, and the old patriarch was facing the danger of spending a few years in the Star Alliance prison, and now their family's affairs have been reported to Youxing...

The family's reputation has plummeted, and after such a severe fall, it will be very difficult for the Huodi family to turn around in terms of reputation.

Don't talk about turning over, the people in the family may have to be fish with their tails between their legs for the time being.
