Zhou Lin - Chapter 178 Chapter of the Judge (1)
May 1, 2219, The Hague, Netherlands.
This place is known as the judicial capital of the Federation.
The Hague has the best law school in the world, the best police academy, the largest prison (here refers to the public prisons known to the public, the nine prisons are not included)… and the most famous and highest-level prison. a court – the Federal Tribunal in The Hague.
Although everyone knows that Crystal County is the core of power of the federal government, when it comes to justice, the first thing people think of is The Hague.
There is no doubt that the public security in this city is also very good, at least on par with Crystal County; think about it…leaving aside the serving judicial officers, about one or two out of every ten civilians on the street are trainee police officers, Or they are law students. All of these young people are knowledgeable about the law and full of enthusiasm, and each of them is looking forward to doing something practical during their student days to add to their resume.
In this environment, do you still dare to grab bags on the street? Dare to pickpocket on the bus? It is estimated that the victim did not even need to shout, you would have been picked up by three or five eagle-eyed enthusiastic people and taken directly to the police station.
However, at noon on May 1st, there was a man who broke the tranquility here.
His name is James Lance.
At twelve o’clock at noon, Lance arrived at the steps in front of the main entrance of the Federal Court in The Hague, carrying an extra-large piano case.
At first, the guard standing guard at the door didn’t pay much attention to him, because there were a lot of pedestrians coming and going here, and Europe has a relatively strong cultural atmosphere. It would not be surprising if a passerby had a piano case in his hand.
However, when Lance took out a rocket launcher from the piano case in broad daylight, the situation instantly got out of control…
At 12:03, amidst the exclamations of the surrounding crowd, a rocket shot into the air and roared towards Justitia (the symbol of Justice with scales in his left hand and sword in his right hand) above the main entrance of The Hague Tribunal. goddess) statue.
After a loud noise, the statue, which was more than five meters high, burst into pieces, turned into pieces of rubble, and collapsed down.
Since Lance had caused a considerable amount of commotion before the launch, the crowd in the area dispersed in advance, so the stones did not cause any casualties when they fell, but only damaged several stone steps at the entrance of the court.
After the dust settled, Lance put down the rocket launcher and stood there with a smile on his face, as if waiting for something.
Don’t move! Put your hands up! NOW! As expected, after a not-so-long reaction time, the two guards at the entrance of the court took the lead in drawing out their guns and rushed up, still shouting Those lines that everyone has heard in the movie.
Following them were five or six professional police officers who were also armed with live ammunition – this court heard a lot of cases every day, and police officers were basically in and out at all times.
Ten seconds later, just as the dozen or so people formed a formation to surround Lance, several more bailiffs ran out from the court…
To make a long story short, when Lance raised his hands very calmly and was about to kneel down slowly according to the instructions of the police officers, four or five law enforcement officers near him rushed forward impatiently and all pressed him down. He fell to the ground and was handcuffed.
After a breath, a police officer dragged Lance up from the ground by his collar and read him his rights, which is the famous saying You have the right to remain silent, but what you say is Everything will become evidence in court.
When Lance heard this, he just smiled and said nothing.
Not long after, he was put into a police car and driven directly to the nearest police station.
At this time, the police officers had no idea what a disaster their arrest would bring to the entire federation.
