Chapter 22 Remembered by the Japanese

Since Chen Zhen's case involved an international dispute, the trial was quickly put on the agenda, and the date was set for the day after Chen Zhen's arrest.

"Uncle Nong, what can I do about this, Chen Zhen will be fine." Huo Tingen has always been a little unsure in his heart.

Nong Jinsun's face was not very good-looking, but he still said: "I have already helped him contact the most famous Chinese barrister in Shanghai, there should be no problem, and besides, he didn't do this in the first place." ”

Huo Tingen felt a lot more relaxed when he heard this, but he still asked with some hesitation: "Chen Zhen didn't go out that night, right?" ”

"Hmm." Nong Jinsun replied angrily, and then asked, "Where did you go that night, why didn't you see your shadow all night." ”

"Me, I went to a friend's place and drank too much, so I didn't come back in the evening." Huo Tingen's face was embarrassed, and his speech became stumbling.

"Tingen, it's not me saying you, your father handed over the Jingwu Sect to you, you should try your best to carry him forward, don't see a shadow all day long, those friends you used to have can break off." Nong Jinsun earnestly instructed.

"Uncle Nong, senior brother, have you seen Xin Han?" Megumi ran in from outside.

"Little junior brother? No, I didn't see Chen Zhen after he was taken away. Huo Tingen thought for a moment and said.

Nong Jinsun said helplessly: "This kid doesn't know what to think all day long, I have been in business for so many years, and he is the only young man I can't see through." ”

======================================

The Public Concession Court, Chen Zhen's case was decided by the British ** official Pitt Brown. Bruce presided over the trial, and because it was a public trial, in addition to the people from the Jingwu Sect and the Hongkou Dojo, there were also some ordinary people and Japanese expatriates who participated.

Nong Jinsun and Huo Tingen arrived at the court early with the disciples of the Jingwu Sect.

"Don't worry, Brother Xie said that he was in charge of this case, and he said it was okay." While sitting down, Nong Jinsun comforted the disciples of the Jingwu Sect.

As soon as he finished speaking, a patrol officer wearing a patrol uniform, that is, the lowest level, sat next to him, Nong Jinsun was startled when he saw it, isn't this the old brother Xie who he just finished talking about.

"Why are you dressed like that?" Nong Jinsun looked at Mr. Xie in surprise.

Mr. Xie had an embarrassed look on his face: "I'm really sorry, Brother Nong, I can't protect myself now, and I am not responsible for this case." ”

"Then what about Chen Zhen?" This time, Nong Jinsun was in a hurry, and the person he entrusted was the uniformed Xie Zongzhu in front of him.

Mr. Xie said helplessly: "It can only depend on luck." After saying that, he put on his hat and walked to the door of the courtroom with a somewhat gloomy expression and stood up.

Obviously, his current rank has plummeted, from a general arrest to a bailiff guarding the door.

Chen Zhen, who was in the dock, saw this scene, and a trace of foreboding welled up in his heart.

"Hey, don't you see the little junior brother?" Huo Tingen found that Xin Han didn't know where he went.

The people of the Jingwu Sect all shook their heads.

"Don't worry about that kid, I can't see anyone at this time, it's really not long-hearted." Xiaohui herself didn't know why she was so angry.

==============================

'Dangdang' Pete. Officer Bruce struck three times with a gavel to signal everyone to be silent.

"Open court" As he announced the opening of the court, everyone was ready, and the unlucky Xie Zongzhu followed another bailiff to close the door, took out a baton and stood in front of the door depressed.

"Xing Zhutou, you said there are four witnesses?" Judge Pitt was under a lot of pressure because of this case, and he also wanted to settle the case as soon as possible, so he got straight to the point from the beginning.

Xing Zhutou was originally an ordinary plainclothes patrolman, but this time he received the benefits of the Japanese to replace Mr. Xie as the new chief arrester, and his task this time was to kill Chen Zhen and turn this Chinese national hero into a murderer.

Hearing the judge's question, he took off his hat and owed to Pete: "Yes, there are four witnesses in our patrol room, and they can all prove that Chen Zhen killed someone." ”

Nong Jinsun whispered to Huo Tingen: "It's really strange, where did they find these four witnesses. ”

In the process of summoning witnesses, a witness said emotionally on the witness stand: "I saw with my own eyes that it was Chen Zhen, we all knew him, and I saw him hack the Japanese to death with a knife. ”

The second witness, an elderly man, pointed to the dock: "That's him, I saw him hack the Japanese to death with an axe." ”

The third witness, a little fat man, said with a serious face: "I really recognize him." ”

Chen Zhen's lawyer stepped forward and asked, he stretched out two fingers: "How many fingers do I have here?" ”

The others were surprised by the lawyer's question, did he suspect that there was something wrong with the witness's eyes or intelligence?

The little fat man replied without hesitation: "Two." ”

Seeing that he answered happily, everyone gave up the idea just now, and saw that the lawyer was too worried.

Unexpectedly, the little fat man blinked his eyes and looked at it carefully: "No, no, four." ”

The Chinese at the court floor laughed, this is simply nonsense.

What's more, the little fat man blinked again, as if to make him look at his fingers a little tired: "Why don't you come closer and let me see clearly." The laughter was louder.

The lawyer shook his head: "No need"

Nong Jinsun said angrily: "It's nonsense at all, they are looking for people." ”

The judge also shook his head, in fact, to this extent, the case does not need to be tried at all, it is obviously perjury, but the pressure from the Japanese side has to be within the scope of his consideration, so it is still necessary to continue the trial.

Fujita just glanced back at Watanabe at the Hongkou Dojo, the witnesses were all entrusted to him, but he didn't expect to be a waste who had more than enough success and more than failure.

In the defendant's self-defense, Chen Zhen of course argued on the basis of reason, because this is the truth: "I didn't kill anyone, I was in Jingwumen all the time that night, and my senior brother can testify for me." ”

The Japanese lawyer objected on the spot: "Your Excellency, I think that the people of Jingwumen and Chen Zhen are brothers, so they are not qualified to be witnesses." ”

"Don't talk nonsense." The lawyer's words aroused opposition from the Jingwumen, and it was clear that it was the facts, why could they not testify.

"Silence." Judge Pitt had to bang the gavel in his hand.

At this time, a foreigner hurriedly ran in and whispered a few words to Chen Zhen's lawyer.

After hearing this, the lawyer immediately stood up: "Your Excellency, I have a most favorable witness. ”

"I'm against it." The Japanese lawyer immediately objected: "Your Excellency, I think the Chinese's confessions are not credible. ”

Chen Zhen's lawyer glanced at his opponent mockingly and then said to the judge: "My witness is Japanese. ”

As soon as he said this, the Japanese consul and Fujita Tsuyoshi were a little surprised, and the people of Jingwumen didn't know why, they couldn't think of any Japanese who would testify to Chen Zhen.

"Okay." Judge Pete nodded and allowed the matter, since it was the Japanese who testified, then the Japanese side will not blame me for the acquittal of Chen Zhen.

The door of the courtroom opened, and a woman in a kimono with a feminine appearance like a small jasper walked in.

Chen Zhen saw the person clearly, and suddenly he was surprised that the person who came was his lover Mitsuko Yamada when he was in Japan.

It could be seen that Mitsuko Yamada was a little apprehensive along the way, she looked left and right at the Japanese and Jingwumen people on both sides, and when she walked in front of Chen Zhen and saw Chen Zhen's questioning eyes, she shrugged her shoulders mischievously.

"Miss, please identify yourself first." The Japanese lawyer looked at Mitsuko Yamada suspiciously, and he didn't understand how this Japanese girl would testify against Chen Zhen.

"Miss, your sister, your mother is Miss, your whole family is a miss." Before Mitsuko Yamada could speak, the door of the courtroom opened again at some point, and a handsome young man in a black suit rushed in, pointing at the Japanese lawyer and scolding.

"Little junior brother." The people of the Jingwu Sect and Chen Zhen both recognized this person as Xin Han, who had disappeared just now.

"Xiao Han, what are you doing, do you want to kill Chen Zhen?" Nong Jinsun motioned to Xin Han to stop quickly, for fear of annoying the judge and the Japanese opposite.

"My Majesty, I protest, protest against this man's disruption of the courtroom." The Japanese lawyer was interrupted and said some insulting language and immediately protested, although he couldn't hear that Xin Han was scolding him, but he knew that it was not a good thing to say when he heard the tone.

"Protest against your sister, this is a trap for you Japanese, and Akutagawa was killed by you Japanese yourself."

After Xin Han finished speaking, he took out a thick stack of photos from his arms, and suddenly raised them into the sky, and the photos suddenly fell one after another, even in front of the judge.

Peter. Officer Bruce curiously picked up the photo in front of him and found that the photo was two Japanese, who were standing in front of the Hongkou Dojo with a corpse at this time.

Pete hurriedly picked up another one, on which was one of the two Japanese who was holding a banner with the words "Murderer, Heaven does not allow it" and put it on the corpse.

And the face of the corpse is clearly visible, it is the victim of today's case, Akutagawa Ryuichi.

Peter. Bruce's head was big for a while, this is still a fart, the evidence is conclusive, isn't this a frame-up.

"What are you doing, let's see that the fifth senior brother is wronged, it is all Little Japan's own people who hurt their own people." Ah Biao took the photo and angrily scolded the people in the Hongkou dojo opposite.

"Hey, let's look at the one who resisted the corpse, it's the two of them." Ah Ren found that the person in the photo was Watanabe sitting opposite, and another Hongkou Dojo disciple.

"Your Excellency, I don't think there's any need for a trial." Chen Zhen's lawyer said with a smile on his face.

With these photos, the key witness Mitsuko Yamaguchi is not needed, and if Chen Zhen is to be found guilty, then Pete. Judge Bruce is challenging the bottom line of English and French law, so he can no longer mix in his own country.

Sure enough, Pete. Bruce said angrily: "This case is so ridiculous, I now declare this case closed, the defendant is not guilty, and the two Japanese are arrested." ”

He pointed to Watanabe on the bench and the Hongkou Dojo disciple who appeared in another photo.

Fujita stood up abruptly, snorted coldly, and then he took out his pistol and shot Watanabe and the disciple directly to death.

"The affairs of our Japanese, we solve them ourselves, useless things, it is really a shame for the Great Japanese Empire." After speaking, ignoring the iron-faced judge and the Chinese watching the excitement, he turned around and walked out of the courtroom.

When he walked past Xin Han, Fujita Gang gritted his teeth and said, "Boy, you have a kind, I believe that soon you will regret what you did today." ”

Walking out of the courtroom, Fujita Tsuyoshi ordered the Japanese soldiers beside him: "Arrange to kill him, I don't want to see that kid again, the person who disgraced the Great Japanese Empire must die." ”

"What about Chen Zhen, is it together" The soldier made a movement of shoveling grass and eradicating roots with his hand.

Fujita Gang shook his head: "No, we must defeat Chen Zhen openly to break the martial arts myth of the Chinese, keep him, I will arrange someone to challenge him." ”

At this time, Xin Han was surrounded by a group of senior brothers and kept throwing them into the air.

On the other side, Chen Zhen stood with Photon, and he asked suspiciously, "Why are you here?" ”

Mitsuko said affectionately: "I originally wanted to testify that we were together that day, I am Japanese, and my testimony should be useful." ”

Chen Zhen immediately knew that Photon wanted to sacrifice his reputation to save himself.

Photon continued, "I've abandoned everything now, and you're going to support me for the rest of my life." ”

"Hmm!" Chen Zhen, who was as emotional as an elm head, couldn't help but be moved at this time, and nodded heavily.
