Barrier of Light

Chapter 10 The Presiding Judge



Wei Shu did not expect that the seemingly ordinary young man named Gu Shen... the case involved would attract so much attention.

The hospital lights are blinding.

The long corridor was silent, echoing with the orderly sound of iron boots.

Wei Shu, who is not tall, was followed by a dozen strong men, each with stern faces, temperament as sharp as a knife, and as cold as iron. Beside him was the "chief judge" in charge of the entire Qinghe District Prison. Compared with the strong man Tiantuan behind him, the presiding judge is not tall, on the contrary, he is a little thin and stooped. The face under the black hat with a big brim is as rugged as a mountain rock, and there is a terrible wound like a centipede on the bridge of his nose.

The presiding judge was reading Wei Shu's handwritten file, walking slowly.

So the strong men behind all slowed down their pace, they were as quiet as needles, their footsteps were soft.

Wei Shu, on the other hand, was so nervous that he could even hear his own heartbeat... These people just came to accompany the "interrogation". There is no doubt that with the presiding judge's order, these guys can even blast through a 10cm thick steel plate!

"interesting……"

The presiding judge murmured in a low voice, and Wei Shu noticed that the presiding judge's eyes did not linger too much on the file of A-009, but froze on the second case file.

The big fire that happened twenty-eight hours ago.

The big fire had a great negative impact on Daiteng City... The pressure from outside public opinion was very high, and the officials hadn't found a suitable reason to explain the sudden fire, as well as the sudden power and network failures at that time.

But the most noteworthy thing on the case file is "Gu Shen".

The starting point of the explosion was Gu Shen's residence. He himself was just in a coma. Judging from the situation at the scene...he was lucky enough to survive, and it was because of an unreasonable rain that extinguished the fire.

But everyone knows that this is nonsense.

Wei Shu knew very well that this was an extraordinary incident. Someone launched an assassination against Gu Shen...but they were all dead. Two bodies were found near the rooftop, one was brutally dismembered, and the other It was devoured by the fire and burned into coke.

Wei Shu couldn't imagine that this lucky young man who escaped the attack of A-009 could awaken such a terrifying "extraordinary power"... With his authority, he browsed the deep sea "deep water area". Only one or two comparable cases have been found.

This is an extremely dangerous existence.

Now that even the presiding judge has been alarmed and chooses to go out in person, this young man named Gu Shen... may end badly.

Wei Shu sighed from the bottom of his heart... He didn't know whether the one who greeted Gu Shen was controlled observation, or directly detained?

"arrive."

Wei Shu spoke softly, feeling sorry for the boy.

...

...

The door was gently pushed open.

The scene was completely different from what Wei Shu had expected. The boy in the ward had already woken up and was sitting on the bed reading a paper newspaper. There was a gap in the window, and a faint wind blew in, blowing the daffodils by the bed.

The presiding judge walked into the ward with his hands behind his back, and the jury was blocking the door. The tall shadow alone was enough to make people breathless, but the boy only raised his head slightly, and then turned his gaze back to the newspaper——

The surprisingly quiet and peaceful place in this ward is unbearable to break.

The presiding judge glanced at the window and remained calm.

"Gu Shen, I would like to inform you on behalf of the Dayeng City Prison."

Wei Shu came to the hospital bed and said habitually: "You are involved in two extraordinary incidents, and you will face a strict interrogation...The constitution requires me..."

"The constitution requires me to inform you of your rights. You have the right to remain silent, but everything you say will be evidence in court. You have the right to appoint a person before trial who can accompany you throughout the interrogation process. "The young man raised his head and took the words for the other party very smoothly. His face was still morbidly pale, but his eyes were as clear as a lake, and he smiled politely: "Long time no see, Wei Shu gentlemen."

Wei Shu was stunned.

Long time no see. This sentence sounds a bit ironic.

But it did give Wei Shu the illusion of "like three autumns".

It was about thirty hours since the last meeting, and Gu Shen's demeanor this time was completely different. Wei Shu couldn't believe that the young man who was sitting on the hospital bed so calmly was still in shock during the last interrogation, dancing like a clown.

This kid...was he acting before?

After sending Gu Shen away, Wei Shu always felt that there were vague and inexplicable problems in the transcript file, such as the time period when the monitoring of the carriage was disordered. According to Gu Shen's description, it was his stalemate with A-009.

That was A-009, a highly destructive out-of-controller. The stalemate lasted for 20 minutes. The carriage was not destroyed, but the monitoring just happened to fail... This is really unreasonable.

The only explanation -

It was this cunning young man who saw through the deception of the loss of the car monitoring from the very beginning, so he chose to conceal his real experience on the car.

So... the clown is not Gu Shen, but himself.

"People from the tribunal, just leave."

The presiding judge, who had been silent all this time, spoke now.

"That old guy should have taught you how to deal with the next interrogation..." He laughed suddenly, his voice was mellow like a jar of old wine, and it sounded very magnetic, which made people feel good about it subconsciously and let down their vigilance: "Right?"

"What are you talking about?" Gu Shen was at a loss, his acting skills were so lifelike that he could win the Best Actor: "I don't understand."

The presiding judge smiled.

He raised his hand, and several big men filed in.

"……take away."

...

...

"Name."

"Gu Shen."

"age."

"Seventeen, there is one month and one day left for my birthday..."

"gender."

"???"

A familiar opening line.

But this time Wei Shu knocked heavily on the table, and said angrily: "Be honest, explain quickly!"

"Female... do you believe it?"

Gu Shen pointed to the hospital gown he was wearing, and his face was also grim, "He is in the hospital, just got out of the bed, and was brought here... can you be a little humanitarian?"

"Gu Shen... this interrogation is very serious, you'd better cooperate." Wei Shu lowered his voice and approached viciously: "Do you know the identity of that adult outside? The presiding judge in charge of the entire Qinghe District!"

presiding judge?

Gu Shen shrugged his shoulders, expressing his ignorance and fearlessness.

"About the fire twenty-eight hours ago..." Wei Shu distanced himself and asked coldly, "The tipping point was in your bedroom. Why did you survive? Why were you on the rooftop at that time?"

"Mr. Wei Shu, I am a survivor as well as a victim. I will be very sad when you say that." Gu Shen raised his head innocently, looked at the surveillance camera, and said slowly, "As for why I appeared there... It’s raining, so I’ll go to the rooftop to collect my clothes, isn’t that reasonable?”

This is very unreasonable!

How can anyone go to the rooftop to collect clothes at three or four in the morning? !

But Wei Shu couldn't find a reason to refute... because it really rained.

"Boom boom boom."

The door of the courtroom was opened after three light knocks. Seeing the figure of the presiding judge, Wei Shu got up immediately. He wanted to say something, but the old man patted him on the shoulder gently, "Wei Shu, I have finished reading the file, you are very good , I have worked hard these days."

Wei Shu finally sighed, got up and left very tactfully.

So only Gu Shen and the presiding judge were left in the interrogation room.

"Gu Shen, I just finished reading the case files."

The old man sat down casually and put the file on the table. He raised his hand to signal to turn off the surveillance, and the light of the camera lens in the corner of the room dimmed.

Gu Shen narrowed his eyes.

He knew what this meant... No third person would know the content of the interrogation that followed.

"Right now, it's just the two of us. Take it easy."

"Before some annoying old guy arrives." The presiding judge raised his hands, resting on his chin, and said with a smile, "Let's have an open and honest chat, how about it?"
