Chapter 539: Chapter 377: Court Adjourned! [Two-in-One, Please Vote!]
To tell the truth, no one at the trial is a fool.
If, as Xu Liang said, twenty-three people disappeared from Sanma Village over ten years, then this place is a pure mass grave. With an average disappearance rate of two people a year, how could the villagers not be afraid?
After all, there aren’t that many people in the village. Who knows when it will be their turn?
But the fact is... not many people have left Sanma Village! Even the young people have stayed in the village at this time.
Reality and theory are contradictory, which naturally makes people question the credibility of Xu Liang’s words.
But...
"Remember earlier, when I asked everyone to keep in mind, ’Someone is using a large amount of thiabendazole, deliberately injecting it into people, and making them exhibit the dependency that the defendant Lv Xiong has on the drug!’?"
Xu Liang swept his gaze over everyone and slowly spoke.
As soon as his words fell.
Everyone was slightly taken aback, then... it was as if a sudden enlightenment dawned on them, and they immediately grasped his meaning.
But soon....
All their pupils shrank sharply, their bodies covered with goosebumps, as if a cold wind was blowing on their backs, prompting them to look up at Xu Liang in disbelief.
Exactly.
If they were normal people staying in Sanma Village, of course, they would flee.
No one wants to stay long in a place where people die every day!
But if....
They became dependent on thiabendazole?
If everyone in Sanma Village was already addicted, and the only place to get relief was the veterinary station... would these people still run?
No.
They would wish to live there forever!!!
However.
The problem then arises.
If this is indeed the case... why would the village chief and the veterinarian of Sanma Village do such a thing!?
"Injecting people with thiabendazole to forcefully retain them... what do they want to achieve!?"
"Why does this feel wrong.....is this real or fake?"
"Hiss, it doesn’t seem fake, what the defendants said can easily be verified by sending a special investigation unit. There’s no reason to say something that can easily be debunked in an appeal, which could only mean it’s true...."
"But if it’s true...."
"...."
In a daze.
Everyone in the hearing instinctively swallowed.
If so, then what on earth is going on in Sanma Village!?
At the center, the members of the Dong Clan felt their hearts sinking deeper, their hands clenching into tight fists as their breathing became more rapid.
The defendant side.
"That’s right, as I mentioned before, the effect of thiabendazole in Sanma Village is to make people dependent!"
"Only by creating dependency can we ensure the population of Sanma Village doesn’t dwindle, so that although people die every year, there are still people living here!"
Xu Liang spoke with a firm voice, standing straight and scanning everyone with his sharp eyes.
As for....
Why Sanma Village is doing this, and what purpose do they keep people there for?
"Initially, I also wondered why Sanma Village would engage in such activities."
"There’s no mineral vein here, no ancient tomb, not even a factory. The so-called labor has absolutely no value!"
"Until, I suddenly thought of those twenty-three disappearance cases, maybe, the purpose of keeping people in Sanma Village... is to facilitate the occurrence of these disappearance cases!"
Keeping people in the village, the aim is to provoke disappearance cases....
It is called a disappearance case, but the entire trial site is well aware that this is only termed so due to the inability to find bodies.
If this factor is excluded, then the logic becomes...
Forcibly keeping people in the village with veterinary medicine, the purpose is... murder!
Suddenly.
Including Judge Zhao Yi, everyone felt a chill at the back of their heads, their hearts pounding like thunder, and their breath becoming increasingly anxious.
If this is indeed true...
Then the nature of this case will undergo a staggering transformation!
Xu Liang did not hesitate; he took out another document.
"Qing City Wooden Horse Shooting Club!"
"According to our investigation, the people behind the village chief Zhang Feng and the veterinarian in Sanma Village are from Qing City Wooden Horse Shooting Club!"
Wooden Horse... Shooting Club....
Shooting!?
Shoot whom!?
As these words fell, it was as if a bomb suddenly exploded in Zhao Yi’s mind that had been suppressed for so long.
His vision went black, his scalp tingled, and he nearly jumped up.
Not just him.
The whole room was in an uproar!
"Shooting Club!? Wait... the victim Hu Hua was shot, and this club is a shooting club...."
"That’s not the main point, damn it, the main point is that twenty-three people died in ten years at Sanma Village, and that the village is using drugs to domesticate the villagers, plus there’s this so-called Wooden Horse Shooting Club!!!"
"No way... impossible... is someone really doing this!?"
"Madmen... could this really be the truth of the case!?"
"Shooting club, the shot victim, thiabendazole, Dong Feiyu...."
"...."
A wave of heavy discussion swept through the entire trial site like a turbulent sea, suffocating those present.
There’s nothing to be done.
If, as Xu Liang said...
Then this case... will be earth-shattering!
Sanma Village is raising livestock.
Yes, they’re raising livestock, but these livestock are not cattle and mares, and the feed is not haystacks.
They are raising humans!
The feed is veterinary drug thiabendazole!
As for the so-called out of the pen... it’s a bullet, a bullet for entertainment, at the cost of killing others mercilessly to provide themselves with emotional satisfaction.
Madmen... complete lunacy!
Just the thought of it makes everyone’s heart surge with shock and fear, a trace of panic gradually appearing in their eyes.
