Chapter 274 Three Trials
Chapter 274 Three Trials
At eight o'clock in the morning, in the division headquarters conference room, amidst rows of olive-green gazes, Tian Susu, imprisoned at the army headquarters and wearing handcuffs, and Luo Ning, imprisoned at the division headquarters, arrived simultaneously. The era of great struggle had finally begun.
This is a life-or-death struggle; win and you'll reach the pinnacle of life, lose and you'll fall off a cliff.
It's either life or death; there is no third way!
Everyone was present, doors and windows were tightly closed, a one-kilometer radius around the area was placed under lockdown, and no one was allowed to attend the hearing.
The scene was so quiet you could see a pin drop. Luo Ning and Tian Susu walked to their destined battlefield and sat down, one to the east and one to the west.
The two exchanged glances for hundreds of rounds, neither able to gain the upper hand.
Commander Liu cleared his throat and announced the policy, breaking the rivalry between the two women, "The reason I invited you two here today is..."
"A three-way trial? I'm so scared!" Luo Ning said, but he wasn't scared at all.
She glanced over and found that the investigation team consisted of as many as fifteen people, including members of the Air Force, starting with Yang Zheng as a lieutenant colonel and reaching the rank of major general.
Apart from Commander Liu and Yang Zheng, Nie Xianyong (that idiot) and Jin Danian (the highest-ranking officer of the Jidu Military Region), she didn't know anyone else.
She can handle small situations.
Luo Ning, recalling his treatment in the solitary confinement cell, grew increasingly agitated. "If the leaders resolve my issues first, I will cooperate with the investigation. Otherwise, I'll go back to the solitary confinement cell. I've spent all the money I brought with me and was just thinking of finding a place to dine and dash!"
Tian Susu glared at Luo Ning with disgust; that bitch had a lot of tricks up her sleeve.
She should be free for today; she should rest and recharge first.
It was unexpected that it was taken offline right after it came on.
She had been dealing with the investigation team for the past few days and hadn't had a good night's sleep. Tian Susu simply lay down on the table and fell asleep.
This person has a heart bigger than a sinkhole.
Yang Zheng kept giving Luo Ning meaningful glances, "Luo Ning, stop fooling around and sit down!"
Luo Ning shook his head decisively. "Once I stand up, no one can make me sit down!"
Jin Danian, along with Commander Liu and Yang Zheng, who had heard of Luo Ning before, were able to accept it well, since Luo Ning had always been unconventional and eccentric.
The rest of the investigation team looked at each other in disbelief. What was going on? They had never seen such an arrogant suspect before!
Regardless of whether they agreed or not, Luo Ning threw out her question in one fell swoop, and no one could stop her, not even the earth could stop her.
"In front of the leaders of the investigation team, I swear on my lamp that I will only make three small requests."
First, I need a medical examination from a senior physician at Jidu People's Hospital, Jidu Central Hospital, or Jidu Maternal and Child Health Hospital; gender is not a factor.
There must be bribed people inside the military hospital; it's no longer safe. Luo Ning has no choice but to find someone from outside.
"Secondly, I would like to ask Lu Ren, the director of the laboratory department of Jidu Harmony Hospital, to test my serum sample."
To prevent collusion, Luo Ning specially invited Lu Ren to come. In this era, Lu Ren was the most famous inspector outside the Jidu system, and he was also known for his integrity and uprightness.
"Third, I want to hire a lawyer from the capital to defend me."
Luo Ning was inspired by Huo Lifeng and chose Jing Guoqiang from the Dijing Dadi Law Firm.
More than a decade later in his previous life, Huo Lifeng asked Jing Guoqiang to exonerate his father, and Jing Guoqiang established his status in the industry through that case.
Ching Kuo-chiang is currently unknown, but that doesn't matter.
Jing Guoqiang is a capable man, but he lacks opportunities, and he is too insignificant to be easily discovered and bribed.
Jing Guoqiang needed an opportunity, and she gave him a stage.
The moment she realized she was being plotted against, she had already made arrangements for those scoundrels.
Luo Ning didn't know exactly who the masterminds were; perhaps they were some of the people present...
She'd consider it a loss if she didn't send them to a military court!
Luo Ning's words caused an uproar at the scene. This was a small request? A suspect, why doesn't he just fly to the moon?
"Ah"
Nie Xianyong sneered and spoke in a shrill voice on behalf of everyone, "Luo Ning, don't forget who you are now..."
"What am I, huh!" Luo Ning stepped onto the table, looking down at her with a kingly disdain.
She wasn't sure at first whether Nie Xianyong was a friend or foe, but now she was very clear.
If this person weren't an enemy, she'd twist his head off and use it as a ball.
“I am a suspect now. As long as I am not convicted, as long as I am not sentenced, and as long as I am a citizen of this country, I have the right to enjoy these conditions!”
Yang Zheng rubbed his forehead; his head ached.
Commander Liu rubbed his temples; he also had a headache.
Jin Danian nodded thoughtfully and stepped forward to take charge of the situation, as this was, after all, a matter for his Jidu Military Region. "Comrade Luoning, I'd like to ask you why you raised these three conditions. Don't laugh at me, but this is the first time I've seen you act like this in all these years!"
Wow, that attitude! Luo Ning's mood instantly brightened.
Nie Xianyong, you coward! The commander has set a good example for you; you should learn from him.
"Reporting to the leader, I have no choice but to make these requests. I thought the heavens were the greatest, but I have seen some audacious people who have prepared a feng shui treasure for me that leads to hell."
I was unconscious inside for nearly twenty hours. If Commander Yang hadn't kept watch so I could go back and take care of Xie Chang'an, I would have died there.
Luo Ning secretly thanked Yang Zheng for the cigarette box that provided her with material last night, which allowed her to successfully fabricate a believable story.
"I'm just a suspect now, I haven't been convicted yet. Who gave those scoundrels the guts to plot against me? Was I sold to a brothel by her mother or was her murder weapon confiscated? What are they trying to do? Huh!"
Even if I'm unlucky enough to be convicted, there will be a specialized agency to try me, not a few treacherous villains to end my life!
Luo Ning's words caused an uproar in the room, with varying reactions.
The three leaders of the Jidu Military Region, headed by Jin Danian, were extremely indignant. It was outrageous that such a heinous incident had occurred within their jurisdiction!
Yang Zheng now understood why Luo Ning had disappeared.
It wasn't Xie Chang'an who got into trouble; it was her.
He carefully examined Luo Ning and noticed that her face was somewhat pale. Yang Zheng's hands unconsciously clenched into fists.
Some people were secretly pleased, wondering why she hadn't been poisoned.
Some people are really strange; they administered so much medication, yet she still didn't die.
"You're standing right here, aren't you? Don't talk nonsense without evidence!" Nie Xianyong said sarcastically, and his words were echoed by many others.
If there really was poison, Luo Ning would be dead by now, right?
Luo Ning nodded slightly and began to ponder certain eternal questions for someone.
"Why am I standing here? It's because I wasn't meant to die! God spared me to expose the true colors of certain people and clear my name!"
My responsibility is too great; I feel like my small body can hardly bear it!
But for the military region, and for myself, I'll fight! What goes around comes around; no one escapes the judgment of Heaven.
Any poison that ignores dosage is a scoundrel, and Luo Ning is best at subduing scoundrels.
Some people don't take it seriously. The matter is over, and there's no evidence, so they're not afraid!
Some people think Luo Ning is making a mountain out of a molehill and want to step in to stop him.
"If anyone obstructs this matter today, they have something to hide. They are the ones who plotted against me. See them in a military court!" Luo Ning sneered, calming down all the restless people.
Jin Danian slammed his fist on the table, his face as black as ink. "Luo Ning, you can sit down now. Everyone stay put. Anyone who dares to leave without permission will be dealt with according to military law! Commander Yang, Commander He, lock the doors. Jiang Lai, Jiang Qu, take Commander Liu to make a phone call!"
