key;
The Grim Reaper of the Night enjoys dealing with gangs or ruthless, deranged killers.
For ordinary criminals, or for these rich and heartless individuals.
They don't seem very interested.
So far, among those in their circle who have died at the hands of the Dark Night Reaper, only Ma Zhihua has died.
But Ma Zhihua is a shady character.
I'm not on the same boat as most of them.
Therefore, they were not angry about it. They even felt that Ma Zhihua was too arrogant and always wanted to kill someone, which attracted the attention of the Dark Night Reaper.
The punishers, on the other hand, are only interested in criminals who have committed murder.
Occasionally, they would punish some petty thugs, but only occasionally.
This sharpshooter seems to have a particular fondness for targeting wealthy people like them.
He has already shot and killed more than ten people in their circle!
These days, at least five out of ten wealthy people in Hong Kong have shady pasts.
If the sharpshooter is allowed to continue operating outside...
How can they sleep?
The kidnapping incident in Hong Kong had already caused widespread panic among them.
But at least the kidnappers wanted money.
It is extremely rare for someone to seek wealth while also harming others.
But a sharpshooter isn't.
He only kills, he doesn't seek wealth!
That's awesome!
so;
These wealthy people with guilty consciences are eager for the sharpshooter to be sent to jail as soon as possible.
It would be best if he never came out again in his life.
That way, they can live in peace from now on.
...
As the sharpshooter's case went to trial, various news media outlets that had been following the case gathered outside the courthouse, waiting for the sharpshooter to appear so they could interview him and ask him questions.
And on the other side;
Inside the court.
Ye Tianming glanced at Gu Zechen sitting next to him with a strange look in his eyes.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
Gu Zechen couldn't stand his gaze any longer, so he finally spoke up and asked.
"Didn't you say you weren't coming? Why are you here now?"
Ye Tianming said with a smile.
"Can't I change my mind at the last minute?"
Gu Zechen said with a smug look on his face.
Ye Tianming only just realized that this guy actually had a bit of an arrogant personality.
but;
Gu Zechen has indeed been thinking a lot these past few days.
I've also figured out a lot of things.
That's why I'm here today.
What do you think the judge will rule on?
Gu Zechen asked with some concern.
“Life imprisonment is a certainty,” Ye Tianming said. “Now it’s just a matter of whether the judge will add a clause prohibiting any form of commutation.”
"Do you think those people will put pressure on the judge?"
Gu Zechen understood the meaning behind Ye Tianming's words.
Ye Tianming nodded.
"Pressure is definitely being applied, but it's uncertain whether the judge can withstand it."
He said.
As the two were talking, the judge and the prisoner arrived.
So the two stopped talking and looked at the judge and their lawyers to see what the final outcome would be.
Inside the court.
The lawyers for both sides are debating the issue of the verdict.
Peng Yixing's lawyer was hired with the help of Ye Tianming; he is a well-known barrister in Hong Kong.
He is far more capable than the lawyer on the other side.
But the final outcome depends on the jury and the judge.
After all, the basic outcome of this case is already determined: a prison sentence is certain, and life imprisonment is virtually unavoidable.
The debate now is simply about whether prisoners should be allowed the opportunity to have their sentences reduced during their incarceration.
after all;
If sentences can be reduced, it's quite normal for a life sentence to be reduced to a little over ten years.
In that case, Peng Yixing might only need to serve a little over ten years in prison before being released.
Time passed by minute by minute.
The news media outside the courthouse were also eagerly awaiting the results.
This includes many Hong Kong residents who are watching the live stream.
We are also waiting for the results.
at last!
After more than an hour and a half of hearings, the case was finally adjudicated.
As expected, Peng Yixing was sentenced to life imprisonment without any possibility of commutation, and was to be sent to Stanley Prison, a prison specifically for serious offenders.
If a vigilante like Peng Yixing went in there, he would definitely be targeted by the prisoners.
Without weapons, he might not be able to hold out for long.
This is clearly the outcome that the police leadership, as well as those wealthy individuals with ulterior motives, wanted to see.
soon;
The news media outside then blocked Peng Yixing as he was being escorted out.
All sorts of cameras and microphones were pointed at his face.
The police officers in charge of escorting the prisoner stepped forward to block the media personnel to prevent chaos and the prisoner from escaping.
"Mr. Peng Yixing! Are you satisfied with today's verdict?"
A middle-aged female reporter with a frenzied expression kept pushing forward, trying to shove her microphone into Peng Yixing's mouth.
"Mr. Peng Yixing! May I ask what made you decide to become a vigilante? Was it because of a senior like Dark Night Reaper?"
The question was raised by a male reporter, who was probably a fan of Dark Night Reaper, so he wanted to ask Peng Yixing, the sharpshooter, if he had embarked on the path of becoming a vigilante because of Dark Night Reaper.
If that's the case, wouldn't that mean the sharpshooter is inferior to the Night Reaper?
Then he can use this powerful evidence to argue with the fans of those sharpshooters online.
"Mr. Peng Yixing! You fought to uphold justice in this city, but your actions did not bring you the rewards you deserved. Instead, you were sentenced to prison. I would like to ask you what you would like to say to the viewers watching on television?"
"Mr. Peng Yixing! How many people have you killed in total? Did you feel a sense of pleasure when you killed them?"
"Mr. Peng Yixing! I am..."
Reporters from various media outlets bombarded Peng Yixing with a variety of questions.
But at this moment, Peng Yixing was like a walking corpse, and then the bailiffs escorted him into a prison van.
He didn't even glance at the media reporters outside.
Just as the prison van drove away, Peng Yixing turned back and glanced at the entrance of the courthouse through the window.
There, his girlfriend was crying and trying to rush up, but she was stopped by someone.
Peng Yixing's eyes finally showed a slight change.
It was an emotion called heartache that was growing within me.
Courthouse entrance.
Ye Tianming and Gu Zechen stood on the steps, watching the vehicle transporting the prisoners gradually disappear into the intersection ahead.
Both of them sighed.
"The final result was still just as bad."
As Ye Tianming spoke, he patted Gu Zechen on the shoulder.
"He could have been a wonderful husband and father, but now..."
Gu Zechen shook his head and sighed, his mood becoming even more depressed.
Seeing Guo Liyi crying and then fainting, Gu Zechen felt even more distressed.
He couldn't bear to see such a scene.
