Chapter 36 — After Doctor Diep Disappeared

Co Han Chau looked at the people opposite him, his eyes filled with red blood.

“No matter what the crime, judge me.”

The police officer was silent for a few seconds.

“Brother Co, the law is not something to be used this way.”

Co Han Chau lowered his head, both hands resting on the table, his knuckles turning white. He no longer even has the qualifications to bear the blame for her.

Chapter 21 On the day the trial opened, the press and media surrounded three floors in front of the court gate. The case of Tham Moc Ngung intentionally causing injury and unsuccessful attempt to murder is the largest criminal case in Bac Thanh in the past three years. Diep Nam Sanh walked in. The eyes of everyone present turned to her at the same time. Black pants, black turtleneck, hair tied back. She sat down, flipped through the stack of documents in front of her, from beginning to end, never once looking up at the audience seats. Co Han Chau stared at the side profile of her face. The jawline is sharp, the corner of the lips is a slightly downward arc, when the eyelashes are lowered, the shadow of the eyelashes leaves a faint mark under the eye bags. The judge knocked the gavel and the trial began. The prosecutor stood up to present the details of the case. In the third part, the judge signaled to play the video evidence. The big screen in the courtroom turned on. The image is of a basement, the camera's angle is from above pointing down. Diep Nam Sanh knelt on the ground, his right hand was stepped on by a high heel shoe. Tham Moc Ngung, wearing a red dress, stepped on the back of her hand, pressing down little by little. The prosecutor's voice rang out again, listing the crimes one by one, intentionally causing injury leading to serious injury, attempted murder, fraud, and forging a will. Tham Moc Ngung suddenly raised her head. The makeup around her eyes was smudged from crying, her eyes stared blankly at the audience seats.

“Hanzhou.”

Her voice was high and trembling.

“Han Chau, please save me, I beg you, tell the judge, it was all because of my temporary confusion, I didn't mean it.”

“Han Chau, my brother's love, I cannot abandon you.”

Co Han Chau stood up. Everyone in the courtroom turned to look at him. There was no expression on his face, only eyes filled with broken blood.

“Your Honor.”

His voice was very quiet, but the courtroom's sound amplification system transmitted every word to every corner.

“I recommend imposing the heaviest sentence.”

Tham Moc Ngung looked like someone had stabbed a knife into his neck. His whole body shrank back, his mouth was open but no sound could come out. The judicial police stepped forward and pressed her shoulders, forcing her to sit down. The trial lasted three hours. The judge finally read the verdict.

"Defendant Tham Moc Ngung, guilty of intentionally causing injury, attempted attempted murder, sentenced to multiple crimes at the same time, sentenced to life in prison, deprived of political rights for life."

The hammer hits. Tham Moc Ngung collapsed on the defendant's stand, his legs completely unsteady. The judicial police grabbed her by the armpits and dragged her out. Her feet dragged on the ground, making a scraping sound. She is still crying. But no one bothers to look at her anymore. The trial ended and the crowd began to disperse. Co Han Chau stood up from his chair, Sneak past the person next to you and step forward. Diep Nam Sanh stood up, bowed his head and whispered something to the lawyer. He walked to the front row divider without even opening his mouth. A man in a gray suit stood in front of him.

“Brother Co.”

The lawyer pulled out a piece of paper from his briefcase and brought it in front of him.

“This is a no contact order, you are not allowed to come within 100 meters of my client.”

Co Han Chau's feet were nailed in place.
