Chapter 40: Chapter 40 - Shocking Public Judgment

40 Shocking Public Judgment

The voice came from the crowd. There was no telling who it was.

The short fatty could no longer conceal the panic on his face. “You, who are you? I’m warning you, don’t slander others. I, I’m a high ranking civil official of the Civil Affairs Department. My father is the governor-general’s office’s internal affairs executive. You, you want to slander me? Be careful, I’ll sue you!”

There was a brief silence. Lin Wen glanced at him and said coldly, “People from the third section of the seventh resettlement site, come forward.”

He repeated it three times.

About 30 people gradually squeezed through the crowd to the front.

They were a group of people who were not fully clothed and skinny.

Lin Wen pointed at the short fatty. “Do you know him?”

There was a series of uneven voices. “Yes.”

“Yes.”

“He’s the supervisor.”

Lin Wen noticed that this group of people was a little timid. They were obviously afraid of the short fatty, and they didn’t trust him that much.

It was clear that this was a group of people who only learned about him through hearsay. They were doubtful about his various legends, not completely trusting his nature.

In order to increase efficiency, Lin Wen deliberately activated the Heart of Seven Orifices and used an extremely difficult operation. Every time he said a few words, he would interrupt the Heart of Seven Orifices and manually follow up with the next word. Then, he would activate the Heart of Seven Orifices and repeat this process until he finished speaking.

This was the best way to ensure that the conversation was focused and that the communication was smooth.

The flaw was that he did not want to appear like a stutter who would pause a dozen times in a sentence, or like a lunatic who did not know what to say. He had to be fully concentrated, and his mind worked at full speed to avoid any mistakes.

“I am the embodiment of justice in the Empire. I came here to judge the corrupt officials. Justice, like the sun, will never fade. The evils of the human world will be exposed to the blazing sun and disappear like gray snow. Those who are guilty do not need to be afraid because they will be dealt with. All grievances can be expressed here.” The first “I am” was the Heart of Seven Orifices’ thought. Lin Wen immediately followed with “justice”, so that it wouldn’t wander off topic after talking nonsense for half a day.

Judging from the results, it was pretty good.

Just as he said that, a middle-aged man among the 30 people jumped up and shouted, “It’s him! It’s this liar, this son of a b*tch! He only gave us seven bottles of medicine, but we are in a heavily infected area. More than half of the people don’t have any medicine…”

Someone tugged at him, but when his sleeve was pulled, he became even more agitated. “Haven’t you been harmed enough by him? How many of us have he killed? I, I, I will fight him to the death.”

He suddenly charged towards the stage, but in the next moment, a black figure reached out with lightning speed and grabbed his collar. With one hand, the man exerted strength, and with a bang, he was firmly pressed into the dust.

Lin Wen took a look and found that it was the giant man called Uncle Jie. Not far from him stood the pretty boy and the other five giants.

Seeing his gaze sweeping over, the pretty boy waved at him excitedly. “Don’t worry, Wen. Uncle Jie will protect you!”

Lin Wen had no time to care about his weird mode of address and change in attitude. He immediately said to the giant in black, “Let him go!”

Uncle Jie stood up slowly and pulled the refugee up. Lin Wen kindly said to the middle-aged man, “Don’t be afraid. Tell me in detail what he said and did.”

Fear and anger interwove in this pitiful refugee’s expression, but he still summoned the courage to speak in detail.

It was nothing more than fraud, abuse, and taking advantage of others for personal gain. After hearing this, Lin Wen turned to the short fatty and said, “What else do you have to say?”

The short fatty cried out loudly, “County Head Lin! I, I, at that time, they, they saw very little medicine and were very angry. I only said that because I was afraid of being beaten by the refugees and I wouldn’t be safe. I was wrong, I was really wrong. In the future, when I ride a bicycle, I will definitely be careful not to lose any more medicine, County Head Lin!”

Upon hearing his words, the thirty-plus refugees revealed looks of anger. The middle-aged man on the stage had red eyes and clenched his fists tightly, but no one spoke or moved.

Lin Wen knew that this was a result of the Empire’s widespread corruption and the negative effects caused by Uncle Jie’s actions, but this did not affect the overall situation.

If this short fatty had only done such a small thing, then his aura would not have been completely blackened.

“At 6:51 p.m. on the 21st, where were you and what were you doing?”

The short fatty was stunned. His face turned pale. He still wanted to pretend, but he couldn’t hide his trembling legs.

Lin Wen shouted: “Huang Mingxiao, what did he do?”

There were a few seconds of silence.

Huang Mingxiao quickly flipped through his memories and answered, “He said that the plague was more serious and took thirty-eight bottles of Abbvie Antibiotics from the warehouse. This was the last batch of medicine.”

Lin Wen turned to the other side. “Did he distribute the medicine?”

The middle-aged man’s face was twisted. “This son of a bi*ch didn’t give out anything!”

Lin Wen turned to the short fatty and said sternly, “Where’s the medicine you received? Where did it go?”

The short fat man’s lips quivered and he couldn’t speak. He tried to find an excuse, but it was futile. No lie could be rounded up in the face of such an iron-like truth.

“And what were you doing at 6:51 p.m. on the 22nd?”

The short fatty couldn’t help but look terrified. “I-I was eating. I wasn’t doing anything. I just had a headache, so I went back to Huai Town. I had dinner with my friends…”

Lin Wen stared into his eyes. “Is Ai Bo from Abbvie Johnson Pharmaceutical Company your friend?”

“1—1—I don’t know—”

“Whose credit card number is 91298373861? At 7:33 p.m. on the 22nd, who transferred a sum of 30,250 imperial yuan to that account? Why?”

The short fatty was speechless. Every piece of fat on his body was trembling.

Bang! A heavy punch landed on the short fatty’s face. It wasn’t Lin Wen.

He only turned to face everyone. The sound of the loudspeaker echoed through the wilderness outside the town.

“Yu Dachang! He is guilty of malfeasance, murder, and anti-humanity. He has caused the death of 31 refugees. His crimes are unforgivable. He is sentenced to death immediately!”

On the side, Fang Yaobo seemed as if he wanted to say something, but Lin Wen ignored him. He turned around and took out a special short gun from the waist of the black-clothed guard.

Uncle Jie was slightly surprised, but he did not stop him and allowed him to draw his short gun.

Lin Wen flicked the safety off and pointed the short gun at the short fatty’s head.

Bang!

A loud gunshot echoed through the wilderness. The high-speed 6.59mm bullet from the gun pierced through his head. As the distance was too close, it only had a penetrative effect, making the scene less horrifying.

The short fatty’s eyes widened, as if he couldn’t believe that he had died just like that.

Thump.

His corpse fell on the wooden platform. Even the refugees who beat him were stunned.

The sound of the crash was amplified by the loudspeaker.

Silence.

A few seconds later, Fang Yaobo’s dry voice could be heard. “He’s found guilty. He will be imprisoned until he is executed in autumn. Uh…”

In the next second, loud cheers drowned the world.
