Qiaoxu and her husband sat in the public gallery, not far from the defendant’s seat.
Qiaoxu’s gaze fell on the Qin woman in the defendant’s seat, their eyes eting, the woman’s gaze filled with intense hatred in its viciousness.
Frowning slightly, Qiaoxu didn’t recognize the face, but strangely, she felt like she had seen those eyes sowhere before.
Recalling Gu Junhao’s words that day, it was evident that this Qin woman had had so interaction with them.
But Qiaoxu was sure she had never seen this face before.
She nudged Lu Moqing’s arm with her elbow, and he turned his head to her, bending down to put his ear close to her mouth, "What’s wrong?"
"Have you seen that woman before?"
Qiaoxu pointed to the Qin woman on the defendant’s seat.
Following her direction, Lu Moqing saw an unfamiliar face, but due to Gu Junhao’s reminder the other day, they made a special trip today.
As for the identity of this woman, they hadn’t specifically sent soone to investigate before, since after the trial, she would explain her grievances with them anyway, revealing why she hated them enough to abduct and sell their son.
Seeing Lu Moqing looking over, for so reason, that woman quickly averted her gaze and appeared to deliberately avoid Lu Moqing’s gaze, instinctively raising her hand to cover her face.
But then, as if thinking of sothing, she lowered her hand again.
Lu Moqing noticed her movent just now, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, "I haven’t seen her before, but... She seed to be afraid just now that I might recognize her."
He had clearly noticed her instinctive evasion of his gaze just now.
"I feel like her eyes are a bit familiar, but I can’t rember who she is right now."
Qiaoxu whispered at his side.
At this mont, the trial was proceeding orderly, and due to the conclusive evidence and the lack of strong defense by the defendants, the judge began to pronounce the sentence quickly.
The main culprit was a man nad Liu San, called "Third Brother" by his subordinates, who specialized in connecting buyers and human traffickers.
Ma Si was one of his subordinates, working with Liu San for years in abducting and selling children and won, committing countless cases together and destroying nurous families.
They confessed to the whereabouts of many abducted children in the past, as well as information on so buyers.
At the sa ti, they also handed over several of their hideouts, and their contacts with other traffickers above and below them, and so on.
Through their confessions, the police arrested dozens of human traffickers, among which, several trafficking dens were destroyed. These dens specialized in crippling the children and making them beg on the streets for their inco.
When the news ca out, it was simply infuriating and horrifying to both people and gods.
As they were honest and truthful, they were subsequently spared the death penalty.
However, although the death penalty was spared, their sentences were not light.
Liu San was sentenced to life imprisonnt, confiscation of personal property, no commutation of sentence, and no appeal, effectively sentencing him to spend the rest of his life in prison.
As for Ma Si, his circumstances were lighter than Liu San’s, and in the end, he was sentenced to a 50-year fixed-term imprisonnt, with no commutation.
Ma Si was now in his twenties, and if he could survive in prison, he might have a chance to get out after fifty years.
However, fifty years later, the outside world would have completely changed. Even if he were to co out, he would have no way to adapt to society, and his final outco would not be good.
