Fang Chaoyang knocked on the gavel a few times and whispered loudly: "Silent, can understand everyone's mood. Please keep the order of the court and do not affect the trial."

Despite this, the curse lasted half a minute before stopping, but there was a faint cry. The four defendants were taken to the dock one by one, standing in a row, with bailiffs standing around to prevent anyone from being able to control their emotions and rushing up.

The main culprit Cheng Shufen, standing on the far left of the four, was short and fat, in his early forties, and looked ordinary, walking in the crowd, no different from passers-by, but such a woman abducted more than 30 children and used the dirty money she obtained for pleasure.

"Now start identity verification, defendant Cheng Shufen, do you have any other names?" Fang Chaoyang asked.

"No." Cheng Shufen shook her head.

"Tell me about your age, ethnicity, education and profession."

"Aged 43, Han nationality, graduated from elementary school, unemployed."

"Home address?" Fang Chaoyang continued to ask.

"Team 2, Lianshan Village, Xinhua Town, Dong'an City." Cheng Shufen replied.

"Is it consistent with your registered residence?"

“Unconsistent!”

“Have you ever been subjected to criminal or administrative penalties before?”

"No."

"Do you have children?" Fang Chaoyang asked coldly.

"I have a daughter who is over 20 years old now. I have never been back since she was born." Cheng Shufen showed a gloomy look.

"You sit down first!" Fang Chaoyang pressed his hands and then asked, "Defendant Yu Xiaozhi, do you have any other names?"

"No."

"Tell me about your age, ethnicity, education level and profession." Fang Chaoyang asked.

"Aged 48, Han nationality, junior high school education, individual truck driver." Yu Xiaozhidao.

"Home address?"

"Room 701, Unit 1, Building 5, Xincheng Community, Xiangyang District, Dong'an City."

"Is it the same as your household registration address?"

“Consistent.”

“Have you ever been subject to criminal or administrative penalties before?”

"Yes, I was sentenced to one year for theft." Yu Xiaozhidao.

"Do you have children?" Fang Chaoyang asked this question again.

"I have a son and a granddaughter, who is three years old." Yu Xiaozhi replied.

"Is the kid cute?"

"It's very cute and very close to me. Unfortunately, I was caught when she was one year old." Yu Xiaozhi said regretfully.

"Suppose one day, the child suddenly lost, what do you think?"

"If anyone dares to take my granddaughter away and I find him, I will definitely kill him." Yu Xiaozhi said ruthlessly.

"Didn't you say that you should steal the child and sell it?" Cheng Shufen was unpolite to expose the shortcomings.

"I just said that, of course not. Why are you still taking it seriously? You're crazy to make money, coward!" Yu Xiaozhi turned around and cursed.

"Sujing, the defendant Yu Xiaozhi, you should sit down too!"

Yu Xiaozhi sat down and glared at Cheng Shufen. The bailiff reached out to block the gaze of the two. The two snorted each other and lowered their heads.

"Defendant Che Panpan, do you have any other names?" Fang Chaoyang asked the third defendant. She looked very quiet and not very old.

"No."

"Why is this name?" Fang Chaoyang asked.

Che Panpan couldn't help but be stunned. Unexpectedly, the judge would ask this question, and replied: "My mother's surname is Pan."

"Tell me about your age, ethnicity, education, and occupation."

"Twenty-three years old, Han nationality, is a sophomore." Che Panpan said.

"Tell me about your home address."

"Group 3, Lianshan Village, Xinhua Town, Dong'an City."

"You are from the same place as the defendant Cheng Shufen?" Fang Chaoyang asked.

"Yes, judge, I was deceived by her. I am a college student. My college entrance examination score is almost 600 points, and I was ruined by her." Che Panpan said loudly, tears falling down.

"Is this family address the same as the household registration address?" Fang Chaoyang ignored her and continued to ask.

“Consistent.”

“Have you been subject to criminal or administrative penalties?”

"No."

"Defendant Che Panpan, sit down first!" Fang Chaoyang said.

Che Panpan sat down and was still wiping her tears. Fang Chaoyang began to ask the last defendant again and asked: "Defendant Tang Gang, do you have any other names?"

"No."

"Age, ethnicity, cultural level, occupation?"

"As forty-three years old, Han nationality, junior high school, and his profession is beggar." Tang Gang said.

“Home address.”

“No. 30 Fuhe Street, Shenglin Town, Baiquan City.”

"Is it consistent with your household registration address?"

“Consistent.”

"Sit down!" Fang Chaoyang said.

Tang Gang sat down slowly, turned his head and looked around, then looked up at the judge's bench, looking very calm, and there was a smile on his lips.

After asking several questions, Fang Chaoyang said: "Did you receive the copy of the indictment and the notice of court for the defendants Cheng Shufen, Yu Xiaozhi, Che Panpan, Tang Gang, and Dong'an Municipal People's Procuratorate?"

"Received!" the four of them replied.

After the identity verification was over, Fang Chaoyang said loudly: "Dong'an Intermediate People's Court is now openly hearing the defendants Cheng Shufen, Yu Xiaozhi, Che Panpan and Tang Gang who filed the public prosecution by the Dong'an People's Procuratorate, suspected of child trafficking and murder. The collegial panel for the trial of this case is composed of presiding judge Fang Chaoyang, judges Gao Yiwei and Xu Wei, and clerk Zhao Fangfang as the court records. The Dong'an People's Procuratorate appointed prosecutors Yuan Dan and Li Chunlei to appear in court to support the public prosecution. The Dong'an Intermediate People's Court was appointed and Qiao Haiyang, a lawyer from Zhengwen Law Firm, appeared in court to defend the defendant Cheng Shufen and others."

"According to the provisions of the Criminal Procedure Law, the parties enjoy the following litigation rights in court..." Fang Chaoyang continued to explain, and then asked: "Have you heard clearly the above rights by the defendants?"

"I heard it clearly." The four of them nodded.

"Did you apply for recusation?"

“No application.”

"Now start the court investigation, first, the prosecutor read out the indictment." Fang Chaoyang said.

Yuan Dan took the thick indictment, glanced at the four people in the dock, adjusted the microphone, and then began to read it, involving thirty-three families, spanning thirteen years, and the case was very complicated, taking an hour and a half.

Many people know about Yuan Dan's style. The indictment is very sharp and there are many sensational parts. From the beginning of the indictment to the end, the crying in the audience never stopped. It was an irresistible sadness that the child had lost.

"Report to the presiding judge, and the indictment has been read out." Yuan Dan said.

"Now, the court will be announced to be adjourned and the defendants will be taken down. The trial will continue at 1:30 pm." Fang Chaoyang knocked down the gavel and the three left the bench.
