Chapter 643: Chapter 415: The Judge Is Shocked! [Two-in-One Special, Vote Request!]

The sentencing of drug offenders generally depends on two aspects.

First, the type of drugs held by the counterpart, and the extent of drug dissemination, that is, the number of victims.

However, this is basically hard to catch because most of the drug offenders arrested by the police are major drug lords, usually engaging in transactions among themselves with few victims involved.

So, most of the cases depend on the second aspect.

Which is the quantity of drugs!

"Stamps... lsd..."

Zhao Yi pondered for a moment on the judge’s bench, recalling several international cases in his mind.

The grams of this thing are not considered large, of course, this is under the premise of what the counterpart used as the carrier!

If it’s only stamps, that would be easy to say, just one or two grams, but if it’s something like rock... that would make sentencing quite tricky.

"Contact the police first."

Wang Yao spoke bluntly beside him, and the three nodded.

Immediately, he looked up, glanced at the entire courtroom, and raised the hammer in his hand high up.

"Bang!"

The hammer fell.

"The trial is adjourned for ten minutes, and will resume in ten minutes!"

Adjournment...

The crowd below stirred a bit.

"Adjournment? Is this to verify clues?"

"Hmm, that’s strange, why do I feel the police are being sneaky about it... If they have clues, why wouldn’t they inform the court?"

"This procedure seems a bit familiar..."

"Be careful with your words, don’t risk getting warned by Lawyer Xu!"

"..."

The audience felt a bit odd.

In theory, the prosecution, court, and police should share information among them.

So why does it look now as if... the police have made arrests, and the court is only learning about it after the fact!?

Executing first and reporting later? Sounds familiar!

But in the end, they only thought about it silently, refraining from speaking out, just occasionally glancing at Xu Liang on the plaintiff’s bench.

Of course, what more people watched was...

Sun Hu!

As the defendant, no one knows better than him what crime was actually committed!

And in their hearts... Sun Hu is naturally aware of the quantity of drugs made!

"Bro, this..."

Sun Biao was somewhat flustered, feeling uneasy inside.

’Drug manufacturing crime,’ his actions should account for ’accomplice.’

If the official were to determine the punishment based on the quality of ’stamps’ he and Sun Hu had stolen... Even ten heads wouldn’t be enough for them!

After all, no matter how light the stamps are, their quantity is there, at least several hundred pounds!

"Bro, what should I do, didn’t you say that lawyer wouldn’t break his word!?" Sun Biao was nearly in tears from anxiety.

"Shut up!"

Sun Hu’s face was multi-colored, clenching his teeth tightly.

Compared to this, he was more afraid of another matter.

And that is... the things hidden in the warehouse of the Land God Temple on the Lake Island being judged by the authorities to be related to him!

Different from Sun Biao, he personally moved the goods provided by Chen Erliang.

The quantity of those... far exceeds the few stamps he stole, if implicated in this..... He doesn’t fancy his chances of survival.

It’s just.....

How much quantity exactly?

Sun Hu himself doesn’t know.

He looked up, gazing at Wang Yao with a sinking heart.

If by any chance, what Chen Erliang let them move wasn’t drugs... What if these were mere raw materials, and the volume is small!?

He thought so.

Meanwhile on the judge’s bench...

"Beep beep beep~"

The clerk dialed the police, a few people waited quietly for a moment, when suddenly the speaker emitted a ’beep’, the call was answered.

"Hello? Upper City High Court speaking."

"There is a current criminal case that needs to be cross-verified with the police."

Wang Yao took over the call, speaking without hesitation.

His words carried an aura of authority from long-term high positions, causing the person on the other end to promptly sense, however...

"Drugs? lsd stamps?"

After Wang Yao and others finished speaking.

The police on the other end were stunned, then frowned, puzzled in their tone.

"On my end... Apologies, our station hasn’t received similar information recently... Did you get it wrong?" The officer questioned suspiciously.

"No!?"

Wang Yao frowned, glancing subtly at Xu Liang.

Then, exchanged glances with the other two judges, seeing through each other’s thoughts, they fell into contemplation.

Generally speaking.

The police claim there’s none, which basically indicates the information is false.

Meaning, this evidence is fabricated, it’s a false proof!

But!

"This kid, though lacking in integrity, is smart, would not seek death voluntarily." Zhao Yi whispered beside him.

False evidence will lead to disbarment, and could even get someone locked up!

Despite Xu Liang’s shady litigation practices.

He’s managed to thrive arrogantly from June 2004 till present November 2005 by never fabricating false evidence!

Otherwise, he would have been jailed obediently long ago.

Additionally, Sun Hu had indirectly acknowledged the ’drugs’ matter earlier.

Then...

"Only one possibility remains." Suddenly, Liu Zhicheng couldn’t resist voicing his thoughts.

Wang Yao felt a chill reaching his heart’s depths.

The remaining possibility is... ’classified’!

This implies part of the inquiries involves classified material, secretly conducted, exceeding the authority of the officer responsible for verifying information, hence the person is completely unaware!

But if it’s classified...

"How much is required?"

Liu Zhicheng suddenly gasped, glancing at Sun Hu, murmuring:

"The defendant’s first theft... must have been at least several hundred pounds..."

"Couldn’t have all been turned into drugs!"

With a case weighing several hundred pounds... Just thinking about it, the three felt a twitch at the corners of their eyes.

Wang Yao did not speak directly but held a resolute gaze, promptly ending the call.

Then, he dialed a number from his mobile.

"Beep beep beep~"

The phone emitted the dialing tone again, but this time evidently lasted a bit longer.
