Into Unscientific

Chapter 499 The trial is over

"."

Looking at Ni Menglin who was sitting on the seat with a pale face and empty eyes.

In Meng Liang's heart, there was an uncontrollable ecstasy that wanted to dance.

If it weren't for the most basic rationality in my heart.

He even wanted to come to the scene to be an iron mountain, and yell at Ni Menglin, the chief culprit who made him fall into a catastrophe.

How the hell do you have today?

And beside Meng Liang.

Sitting in another witness seat, Wang Yujie, who had always looked numb, also quietly shed two lines of hot tears on her face.

She had been waiting for this day for a long time.

Don't look at the whole 4.23 incident, the result of Wang Yujie's handling was just being transferred from his post, it seems that he just changed his working environment.

However actually.

Although her experience was not as miserable as Meng Liang's, it was also extremely desperate.

At that time, Wang Yujie had just graduated from graduate school, and she worked hard to obtain the qualification to stay in school to teach.

To know.

Different from the retention rules of other schools.

Wang Yujie and Meng Liang's university is a top media school in China, and they are very strict with graduation retention cards, and the difficulty is even much higher than that of the public examination.

In general.

Unless it is a doctor who has returned from an overseas institution of higher learning, it is possible to get the opportunity to stay in the school to teach.

Wang Yujie has no background and no "back door". It is not easy to get this opportunity with a master's degree.

Follow normal development.

As long as Wang Yujie has an internship for two to three years, she can become a full-time employee and have a formal administrative position.

At that time, she can choose to teach, or she can concentrate on being a counselor, or she can go to an institution outside the school. There are simply too many directions to choose from.

In a sense.

At that time, Wang Yujie's future was brighter than Meng Liang's - after all, Meng Liang was only a sophomore at that time.

However, with the outbreak of the 4.23 incident, everything changed.

The school's Weibo was flooded, and the school urgently held a management meeting under pressure.

In the end, Meng Liang and Wang Yujie were dealt with.

But even so.

At that time, the group of marketing accounts headed by Ding Xiaxia still did not give up:

In order to make the incident look more "reasonable", they even slandered Wang Yujie and Meng Liang's relationship in private - in order to curry favor with Meng Liang's official "father" who did not actually exist.

At the same time, Wang Yujie's comprehensive test score P, which was the first in the whole year, was placed at the bottom, so as to claim that she was on the leader's "promotion device" when she was studying in order to get a higher position.

Under the impact of these rumors, Wang Yujie's parents in Haidai Province were also affected:

Wang Yujie's parents were ordinary high school teachers. After the incident broke out, they received a lot of criticism both openly and secretly.

Moreover, Haidai Province is different from other places. It is one of the few provinces in China that pursues the highest system, and many of its thinking are quite traditional.

Under the guidance of colleagues, Wang Yujie's parents were finally forced to retire because they couldn't stand the white eyes.

Nearly five years have passed now.

Back then, Wang Yujie, who was regarded as a flower in a major such as the media where beauties gathered, was tortured by pressure, and she had already become physically and mentally haggard:

His complexion is sallow, like a vegetable farmer who has been working in the fields for a long time, and his long, straight black hair has become haggard and messy. He is completely different from that time.

But luckily.

She finally waited for the day when justice would appear—although justice was long, long overdue.

Just as Wang Yujie was crying silently.

He Qiong on the stage slapped the wood again, and asked Wang Yujie:

"Witness Wang Yujie, where did you get this monitoring?"

Wang Yujie looked up at her, quickly wiped away her tears with her fingers, and quickly replied:

"Presiding judge, I was an assistant administrator of the library when it happened on April 23. The school's handling opinion came one day... oh no, it came down in the morning two days later."

"Before handling the communication of opinions, I had the key of the monitoring room in my hand, so I kept an eye on it at that time and kept the monitoring first."

He Qiong asked again:

"So your preservation is five years?"

"That's right."

He Qiong couldn't help but frowned:

"Since you have this monitoring in hand, why didn't you seek help from the school at that time?"

"Ask for school help?"

Wang Yujie snorted coldly, and the corner of her mouth suddenly raised a mocking arc:

"Presiding judge, I found the leader on the second day after the incident broke out, hoping to call surveillance to prove the innocence of me and Xiaomeng-in fact, the immediate leader of the library and Meng Liang's dean agreed to this approach of."

"However, this request was quickly rejected by a school leader after it was put forward. The reason was that the pressure of public opinion was too great, and the rumors were not dealt with in accordance with the 'public opinion'."

"Then the next morning, I saw Xiaomeng's and my handling opinions, one dropped out of school and the other was transferred."

As soon as Wang Yujie said this.

For the first time, there was a low voice of discussion at the scene.

"Please be quiet in the listening area!"

He Qiong slapped the wood in time, and after controlling the field, he said to Wang Yujie:

"Then why don't you seek media help after the fact or dispel the rumors yourself?"

Wang Yujie glanced at her and said concisely:

"Tried, but failed."

"."

He Qiong was silent for a few seconds:

"Very well, thank you for your statement."

What Wang Yujie wanted to say was actually very straightforward—the school was over, and no one dared to take her "order".

After all, after the school officially announced the handling opinions, the whole incident has been set for the final handling tone:

Sacrifice Wang Yujie and Meng Liangping' popular anger', and then control the criticism to reduce the heat.

These years, an ordinary vocational high school can control and evaluate emergencies, let alone the 211 college in the capital where Wang Yujie and Meng Liang attended.

No one would be willing to make a comeback for two dead people at that point in time—unless it was that kind of head media.

Unfortunately, however.

A certain media who was willing to lash out at netizens for Ji Ni's beauty did not choose to speak out for Wang Yujie and Meng Liang.

Maybe I was too busy and didn't see it.

Well, it must be.

Of course.

These are all unspoken rules that can only be understood but not expressed in words.

If Wang Yujie continues to talk in depth at this time, it is likely to involve something beyond the 4.23 incident.

It's not that these things are really too sensitive to say, but it's meaningless to say them in this court trial. The main people in the court trial are Ding Xiaxia and Ni Menglin, and at most the school leader who made the decision at the time.

People who went deeper basically had nothing to do with this matter. For example, the president of the university was still attending a meeting abroad at that time, and it would be easy to get involved.

This principle also applies to domestic or all domestic and foreign colleges and universities.

For example, the incident of Haruko Obokata at Kyoto University is very representative, and Yoshiki Sasai's suicide is very controversial now.

By the way.

Although the Nihong official media did not dare to say more about the Obokata Haruko incident, it was turned into a small movie.

The lead actor is still Nishino Sho, that is, the movie [Beauty Researcher 假りに混ちて] that Xu Yun's good friend Golden Jasmine likes very much.

cough cough

Closer to home.

It is precisely because of the above reasons.

Although Wang Yujie was extremely angry, she still maintained her basic rationality and objectivity.

Therefore, in terms of specific reasons, she chose to mention them briefly.

After all, there were several college leaders who actually agreed to refute the rumors, but unfortunately most of them were leaders of the Institute of Science and Technology, and the proportion of science and engineering in Meng Liang's school was not large.

In addition, the leader with the final decision-making power finally chose another plan, pushing Wang Yujie and Meng Liang into the abyss at the same time.

all in all.

Anyway, as long as the monitoring evidence is not forged, why Wang Yujie has been preserved until now is just a small problem of character.

at the same time.

At this point, Ni Menglin has no chance of making a comeback.

Actually.

What Ni Menglin said before was correct - she had no contact with foreign forces in the whole matter.

Therefore, although her sentence will most likely exceed three years, she must be sentenced severely.

But a strict sentence is not a random sentence after all, and we still have to talk about laws and regulations.

If nothing else.

Her situation is basically combined punishment for several crimes, and a sentence of four to five years is almost enough.

As a result, Ni Menglin and her family were unwilling to pay such a price, and wanted to play tricks with the Supreme Fa, and finally made such a joke.

This is just great.

Ni Menglin's sentence was calculated, and she made such a big fool of herself in front of the national audience, the blow to her personal image was even heavier than the sentence.

It can only be said that he deserved it.

Afterwards, Ni Menglin, whose mentality suffered a serious blow, began to keep silent, trying to play dead.

But after all, she is just a little girl who has just graduated for a year, and her social experience and psychological endurance are not strong.

Under He Qiong's several hints like "you might get a lighter sentence if you plead guilty", she finally admitted her crime.

While Ni Menglin pleaded guilty.

In the auditorium.

Meng Dongguo couldn't help but took out his mobile phone, and regardless of the risk of violating the court requirements, he took a photo of the vestibule and posted it on Moments:

[After 1167 days, I finally cleared my innocence. Did you see that the country said my son was innocent! ! ! ! Innocent! ! ! ! ! 】

After the news is posted.

Meng Dongguo wanted to return to the phone desktop, but no matter how he pressed the back button, there was no response.

Then he found out

While I was typing, my phone screen was already dripping with tears.

After the trial of the 4.23 case ended.

Suspects including Ni Menglin, Ding Xiaxia and Huang Long were taken away from the scene.

The two witnesses, Meng Liang and Wang Yujie, continued to stay at the scene to observe in accordance with the court trial regulations.

Then soon.

Another batch of defendants and witnesses were brought into the trial chamber.

But it is different from Meng Liang and Wang Yujie.

The witness present this time was an old man in his eighties, walking tremblingly, holding a photo frame on his chest.

In the photo frame is a girl who looks to be in her early twenties. She is not very beautiful, but she has a bright smile.

However, in sharp contrast to this youthful atmosphere, it is the dull black and white tones in the photo frame.

That's right.

This is one.

posthumous photo.

After the old man takes his seat.

Chen Ling stood up again and began to state the case.

this time.

Her fingers holding the file faintly exerted a lot of force:

"On July 22, 2022, the victim, Zheng Ping, went to visit her grandfather in front of the hospital bed after her medical examination. She took a photo of the hospital bed and posted it on the Weibo platform."

"On July 26, 2022, a Douyin marketing account named 'Sister Stella' stole Zheng Ping's picture and pretended to be Zheng Ping herself to promote irrelevant courses."

"On July 29, Zheng Ping sought a lawyer to defend her rights, but because her hair was dyed pink, she encountered a large number of Internet violence initiated by netizens led by 'Little Lobster' and 'Hangcheng Whistleblower'."

"In January 2023, Zheng Ping relapsed into depression because she couldn't bear the tens of thousands of Internet explosions every day, so she chose to go to extremes."

Listen to Chen Ling's narration of the case.

In the auditorium.

Although this case has nothing to do with him, Xu Yun's face is still extremely heavy at the moment.

The third or second derivative case heard today.

It is also a well-known case of Internet explosion.

The victim in this case was Zheng Ping, whose mother died when she was 6 months old.

She grew up in a single-parent family, living with her father and grandfather.

Although there were some difficulties in her growth, she was optimistic and lively and studied very hard. She was successfully admitted to Zhejiang Normal University and wanted to become a music teacher.

before graduation.

Zheng Ping decided to dye her hair pink, so that wearing a dark academic gown would look more lively and beautiful when taking graduation photos—this is an idea she posted on Moments.

Then in 2021.

Zheng Ping passed the teaching qualification test and went to primary school as a trainee teacher for a period of time.

And in 2022, it will be successfully guaranteed research.

At that time, her grandfather had been hospitalized for a long time due to cerebral infarction, myocardial infarction and bowel cancer, so Zheng Ping went to see the old man once before school started.

The two took a group photo in front of the bed, and Zheng Ping also sent a message to share the joy.

The result was unexpected.

It was such a touching blog post, but it attracted a large group of "flies":

In the beginning, the photos of her and her grandfather were used by a large group of marketing accounts selling online courses, and those people even pretended to be her to cheat other people's money.

After learning that someone had been duped, Zheng Ping immediately chose to defend her rights.

But the ferment of this matter made her reap more abuse and insults.

Some people looked at pictures and talked everywhere, and wrote articles to spread rumors about her relationship with her grandfather, saying that she was "raised" just by looking at her hairstyle.

Some people say that pink hair looks like a drinking girl, so it is impossible to study as a teacher, and it is even less likely to be admitted to the graduate school.

Others opened up the map and said that she was just a normal student studying music, not a serious major, and said that Zheng Ping's hard work and love were worthless.

In the end, Zheng Ping suffered from severe depression and tried to treat it for several months, but in the end she chose to commit suicide (the grandfather of Zheng Ping’s prototype has passed away, here I made a second creation so that the old man did not die, I hope that in the work, the old man can get some trivial consolation)

this time.

Zheng Ping's suicide case was also selected as a derivative case of cyberbullying, and it was tried as a second example.

There were a total of nine defendants present this time, six men and three women.

They are:

"Sister Stella" who was the first to use Zheng Ping's portrait to sell lessons, "Tianrui Education Teacher Guo" and "Summary of Postgraduate Examination Questions".

And the follow-up "small lobster" "Hangcheng Whistleblower" and others.

Among them, the "Hangcheng Whistleblower King" is a man in his 40s who runs a convenience store and was the first to spread rumors that Zheng Ping and her grandfather are "an old couple and a young wife".

Then in front of the mountain of ironclad evidence.

Nine people have confessed to their crimes.

In a sense.

The situation of these nine people is a bit similar to Ni Menglin's - the sentence of imprisonment will not be too long, most of them will only be three or four years or even one or two years, but the social image has completely collapsed.

Maybe after today's trial.

They will also experience the taste of cyberbullying.

When the nine people pleaded guilty, Grandpa Zheng Ping, who was holding Zheng Ping's photo, suddenly burst into tears in court, with a sad and shrill voice.

But this time, He Qiong did not pat the wood to ask for silence as usual, but softly asked the two bailiffs to take the old man to the lounge to rest.

in the ensuing time.

He Qiong tried the remaining few cyberbullying cases.

It has to be said that these cyberbullying cases are also very representative in nature.

For example, there is a case like this:

The victim was a young girl. Because she commented on Weibo that a certain flow's acting skills were poor, she was violently attacked by fans of the flow.

The girl tried to go to extremes many times because she couldn't bear the pressure, but fortunately, her family members or passers-by found out, and the tragedy like Zheng Ping did not happen just now.

And at least 70% of the fans of cyberbully girls are young girls who are underage, which is really lamentable.

six hours later.

The trial of all cases is over.

Since the Supreme Court has completed a detailed analysis and discussion of the dossier before the court session.

Therefore, He Qiong did not announce the date of sentencing, but gave the verdict in court:

"After the trial, it was found that the evidence in the 2.9 Internet violence case and related subsidiary cases was solid. The defendants Ding Xiaxia, Chen Xuting, Yang Jie, and Chen Tao all had no objection to the criminal facts charged in the indictment and voluntarily pleaded guilty without excuse."

"This court believes that the defendant. Illegally committed cyber-violent slander against others, causing varying degrees of psychological and physical harm to the victims. Now, in accordance with the "Provisions on the Application of Law in the Trial of Civil Dispute Cases of Infringement of Personal Rights and Interests Using Information Networks", "Criminal Article 246 of the Procedural Law and Article 110 of the Public Security Law made the following judgments."

"Defendants Ding Xiaxia and Huang Long committed the crime of defamation, illegal business operation (organizing a navy), and endangering national information security. They were punished for several crimes and sentenced to 20 and 18 years in prison respectively."

"Defendants Chen Xuting and Yang Jie were sentenced to 15 years in prison for defamation, illegal production and sale of obscene materials."

"The defendant, Ni Menglin, was sentenced to four years and eight months in prison for defamation."

"Defendant Huang Wen, online name Senior Stella, was sentenced to two years and three months in prison for committing the crime."

"The defendant, Qiao Andong, whose online name is Hangcheng Whistleblower Wang, was sentenced to four years and four months in prison for the crime."

"At the same time, after the court adjournment, the Cyberspace Administration of China will, according to the historical speech records, impose different degrees of punishment on the accounts of natural persons involved in the above cyberbullying incidents, such as subpoenas, account bans, and short-term bans."

After more than ten minutes.

He Qiong looked at the audience:

"The court hearing is over, and the court is now closed. Please leave in an orderly manner."

He Qiong finished speaking.

The audience was silent for a moment.

Suddenly there was applause like a rainstorm.

The well-known judge Hunett across the sea once said a famous saying:

Justice delayed is justice denied.

Later this sentence was translated into a French proverb in Chinese:

Justice may be late, but it will never be absent.

In fact, however, this is an extremely serious translation error.

What this sentence really means is
