It was expected that this comprehensive case would be difficult to try, but it was the opposite that was true. Drugs were easily recovered from Jonas’ home, and the assault charges all surprisingly had evidence.
What Mia brought to the police further clarified the whole case. He brought a recording pen and a CD to the police. Although the recording could not be used as direct evidence in court, only be used as a guide to solving the case, it was still sufficient.
There was a lot of content in the recording, including Jonas and Borg discussing how they would do anything to get other people’s creations, how they would keep them for themselves, how they would make others comply, and how they would blackmail them.
The recorder contained recordings from many periods before and after, and although there were no images of the people, Jonas’s distinctive voice was recognizable.
On the disc were several videos. The videos appear to have been filmed in secret, so the footage is a little shaky. In it are several videos of Jonas injecting psychostimulants at home. Jonas seemed to be a different person before and after the injections. Before the injection, he seemed to be in extreme pain, and after the injection of the clear liquid, one could see his psychedelic expressions. The police, some of whom specialise in solving drug cases, gave a 99% probability that a psychotropic drug was the reason for this change in Jonas’ expressions before and after.
With the new evidence, Jonas’s application for bail was delayed, and this delay directly exposed Jonas.
Jonas was addicted to drugs, and his body had long been destroyed because he had been injecting stimulants for a long time. In addition, Jonas also insisted on using special beauty products, which required a certain amount of dependency inorder to improve his looks. If not used for a while, he would revert to his original appearance.
After ten days in the darkness of the prison cell, Jonas’s skin became dry and waxy, and his eyes were dull as they had lost their former glow. His voice became hoarse and his long, silky blonde hair became like a mass of dry grass.
Jonas clutched his legs, trembling with addiction. He fell and rolled on the ground. The arrogance he had when he first entered had long been abandoned. He kept begging under his breath, “Help me, please, help me.” It was at that moment that Jonas finally broke.
At the cost of a mild dose of psychostimulant injection, Jonas gave an account of everything.
He explained that he couldn’t write his own songs from the beginning, and simply couldn’t accept not having a singing career, so he talked to Borg about buying other people’s songs. It’s just that some people didn’t cooperate, and over time, to get more songs, they started to become more aggressive, which led to the subsequent accusations and recordings.
Jonas also explained that he started injecting psychostimulants in moderation six years ago to be in better working condition, and over time, it turned into an addiction. He admitted to injecting but not to selling, and when the police then asked him how he bought it, Jonas gave a location.
But when the police searched the location, they found it had been emptied.
And when the alleged murder was mentioned, Jonas denied it. He assured through gritted teeth that Mr. Yayaxi’s death had been an accident and that he had not planned it at all.
Injecting a banned stimulant would, by law, lead to mandatory admission to rehab. The charges of stealing another person’s work and injuring another person, on the other hand, carry a prison sentence of three to seven years. Intentional homicide, on the other hand, was punishable by more than 20 years in prison or even the death penalty in severe cases.
Just as the case hit a bottleneck again, the police interrogated the truck driver who killed Yayaxi again. The driver of the truck initially clenched his teeth and would not admit that he had deliberately injured someone. However, as the police had investigated the evidence in the past few days, as well as the discovery of a large amount of money of unknown origin in the truck driver’s family account, the driver finally admitted to it. He said that he rammed into Mr. Yayaxi because someone paid him, and the person who paid him was none other than Borg.
The case against Jonas and Borg was then investigated in its entirety, and all that remained was to sort it out and pass the formal judicial process, with the court declaring that their crimes had been punished.
Two months later, the court ruled that Jonas would be convicted on several counts and sentenced to 65 years in prison, while Borg was convicted on several counts and sentenced to 74 years in prison.
That was the end of the imperial singing voice and a complete discredit to his fans. It was a tragic and sad end.
Later, when people came back and reacted, they felt that it was too coincidental.
The sudden appearance of a presenter who never showed his true face, and the sudden disappearance were capricious. The sudden assemblage of the plaintiffs’ group, the evidence, and so on; you can’t walk by the river without getting your shoes wet. Jonas’s crimes were bound to come out and he couldn’t hide this time.
His crimes were so disgusting that it was impossible to feel any semblance of sympathy for him.
His die-hard fans saw the true face of the idol they had once championed and even held up as a role model, and felt nothing but shame, their cheeks burning with shame.
The imperial singing voice they worshipped was simply a fake, a figment of their imagination. Jonas was not the so-called imperial singing voice; he was just an actor playing the character of the imperial singing voice.
His songs were fake, his persona was fake, his character was fake, and even his smile was fake. All of it was fake, all of it was unreal, and it turned out that that was the true face of their idol!
Die-hard fans tore down the posters stuck to the walls and took out the carefully cared for discs, folding them in half before throwing them in the trash. All that Jonas had been, all that he had, his fans, his appeal, was gone overnight.
Soon after the verdict came down, Jonas and Borg were taken to prison. It was thought to be the end of the story, but the two managed to somehow escape. The police searched for them but were unable to locate them. A reward of 100 million interstellar coins was offered to anyone who could find one of them.
As the media relayed the updates on Jonas’s current situation, the world exploded.
But it was like a paradise island in the Lambert house. Bai Lixin continued with his daily routine of nurturing his baby.
His belly had grown slightly in the space of two months, and although he could no longer access the internet, he still occasionally watched TV.
Bai Lixin sighed softly as he watched Jonas, who had caused an uproar on TV.
Master Lambert gave him a sideways glance and said, “Mitchell, do you know Jonas?”
Bai Lixin nodded after a moment’s thought, “We have met, but I don’t know him. Perhaps the Jonas I knew was just an act. I’m not sure whether I knew him or not. ”
“Oh,” Master Lambert smiled gently, “not just you, I don’t think even Jonas can recognize himself. After so many years of playing the role of an icon, with his personality constantly changing, I’m afraid even he can’t tell which is the real him. ”
He paused and suddenly smiled gently, “Seeing Jonas like this makes one think. How much of what the people around you show are their true colours and how much of it is disguise? Mitchell, are you the real you now?”
Bai Lixin’s hand stroking the small of his back gave a slight pause as he lifted his head and looked deeply at Master Lambert. He suddenly raised his eyebrows and asked rhetorically, “When Father says it like that, I too am afraid. Is father that I know, really father?”
The two men looked at each other and suddenly laughed in unison.
Master Lambert took the remote control and changed the channel for the television, finding that it was still the Jonas incident, and then changed it again. After three more changes, Master Lambert simply turned off the television.
“There’s nothing to see. Mitchell, the chrysanthemums are in bloom. Would you like to go and see them? ”
Time flew by and in the blink of an eye, two months had passed and Bai Lixin’s belly was now showing. Each month, Hallyvette accompanied him to the hospital for a review, and Master Lambert’s driver always followed along.
As the weather cooled, the autumn chrysanthemums bloomed, and when autumn had passed and winter had rolled around, spring would return.
Time was the best settling agent, and the Jonas incident, which caused such a stir at the time, gradually subsided. Manufacturers who had asked Jonas to endorse them had withdrawn their endorsements and temporarily replaced them to prevent their products from being tarnished by Jonas’ bad image.
Gone are the days of the Imperial singing voice. His songs were now considered banned songs that defiled singers and were slowly being withdrawn from human ears. So what if his voice is beautiful? Even if the songs are captivating, an artist with a stain all over him is simply not worthy of respect or following.
In the blink of an eye, winter turned to spring and eight months had passed. Bai Lixin’s belly had bulged into a huge sphere.
During this time, Hallyvette was so worried about his health that he even put off much of his daily work to watch over him. The chef at home now cooked all the standard meals for pregnant omegas.
On this day, Hallyvette had a temporary commitment, but it was time for a maternity check-up, so Bai Lixin decided to go to the hospital with the driver and two bodyguards.
It wasn’t long after the four of them had gone out that Master Lambert received a call from his driver.
As soon as he picked up the phone, the driver hurriedly said, “Master! Mr Mitchell was kidnapped on his way to the maternity check-up! ”
Master Lambert sat up abruptly from his chair and said angrily, “Who did it? Who took Mitchell?”
“It was an SUV! Several masked men in black skillfully knocked the two bodyguards unconscious and took Mitchell. I wrote down the vehicle’s licence plate number.”
“Then what are you waiting for? Go check! Do it now! Don’t let anything happen to Mitchell! ”
