When Liu Yimeng was terrified, Liu Kunlun was suffering in prison, different from being detained in the past, this time time felt very slow, it was simply counting second by second, and he really realized what it means to live like a year.

Finally, lawyer Xie reappeared, bringing bad news, the extradition was rejected, and the first trial was imminent.

"You make mental preparations, you may have to give a suspended death sentence, let's appeal again, the second instance will be changed to life, and then the sentence will be reduced in a few years, and that's the only way. Xie Tianji said that he brought a set of clothes, a white shirt, trousers and leather shoes, which he was ready to wear when Liu Kunlun went to court.

Liu Kunlun is very honorable: "There is only one life horizontally and vertically, whether it is life or death, I will go crazy if I wait like this." ”

Xie Tianji looked at him for a while, didn't say anything, got up and left.

Liu Kunlun's long-awaited trial has finally begun, and it is not the first time he has been in court, he knows the rules, he sits in the dock and waits for the verdict, he also knows that the caliber of this kind of case has been set, and the trial is just a formality, and the exchange of words between the two sides is all fake.

The trial was not open to the public, and only some relatives, friends, and media reporters were present, and there were more than a dozen people in the auditorium.

The trial began, the prosecution indicted the defendant Wang Haikun for intentional homicide and desecration of the corpse, and the defense lawyer defended the case, Xie Tianji's strategy was to admit the kidnapping but not the homicide, and the death of the foreigner Chris Lee was caused by other causes, and he believed that the client was manslaughter at best.

The prosecution and defense debated with each other, and the court was adjourned at noon and continued in the afternoon.

At the beginning of the trial in the afternoon, Wang Huayun appeared, he was pushed to the scene in a wheelchair, gray hair, haggard, Liu Kunlun looked back and saw his father, feeling a trace of warmth.

This case should have been very complicated, because Chris's body was disposed of very cleanly, and there were no bones left, it was the police who dug the altar three feet into the ground, found Chris's DNA from the soil, and followed the clues to find the scrap disposal plant, and found the same DNA on the edge of the crusher, although they failed to trace all the way to the bricks that built the walls of the women's toilet, but it was enough to convict Liu Kunlun.

At half past six o'clock in the afternoon, after the collegial panel deliberated, the trial results came out, and when the verdict was announced, the audience was silent, and the presiding judge read out the verdict.

As a result, the death penalty and deprivation of political rights for life.

In the auditorium, several expatriates began to hug and cry to celebrate Liu Kunlun's execution.

Wang Huayun glanced at his son from a distance and asked the congren to push him away.

Xie Tianji and his assistant whispered a few words, and appealed in court on behalf of the client.

When the presiding judge asked the defendant what he had to say, Liu Kunlun didn't react, he thought a lot about death, if it wasn't for the favor of the god of fate, he would have died under the gun of the drug maker on the night of the Spring Festival in 04, he didn't die when he was shot, he didn't die when he cut his throat, he didn't die when he crashed, he didn't die when he killed people, and he didn't die when he was lost in the no-man's land of the plateau with high paraplegia, and he snatched his life back from the hands of death again and again, and there was no one, but the luck was counted, and he had exhausted it.

The death penalty came as scheduled, Liu Kunlun felt surprised, and it was reasonable, he was so crazy that he couldn't say anything if he didn't clean it up.

"Defendant, did you hear clearly?" The presiding judge issued a document again, the majestic robe and the solemn national emblem made Liu Kunlun pull his thoughts back to the courtroom, and he replied: "I don't have anything to say, if I have to say it, I don't regret it." ”

There was a small uproar in the auditorium.

The presiding judge declared the trial closed.

Liu Kunlun was sent away by the bailiff and continued to return to the detention center to wait for the outcome of the appeal.

……

Liu Yimeng called Su Qing again and asked about his brother's whereabouts, Su Qing was also restless and uneasy, but still told her eldest sister that it was okay, no matter how bad it was, it wouldn't be bad.

This answer obviously did not satisfy Liu Yimeng, and she decided to go to Beijing again with Chun Leek, even if she couldn't visit, she had to talk to the lawyer well, so that she could be sure.

On the train into Beijing, the two women have their own hearts, and they can't tell each other clearly, Liu Yimeng can't tell Chun Leek, his younger brother may just be a spare parts warehouse that can walk, and Chun Leek can't tell Liu Yimeng that he is pregnant with Liu Kunlun's child, and the two can only have one common topic, that is, how to see their relatives.

After arriving in Beijing, they only saw Su Qing, Su Qing now seems to be Liu Kunlun's fiancée, Nini is even more of a father and a father is short and keeps talking, Chun Leek is not a taste in her heart, and she has become more silent.

Su Qing can still talk to the Wang family, but she can't see Wang Huayun himself, she can only contact through the royal office and wait for the notice, the request to see the lawyer can not be met, because lawyer Xie Tianji has gone to Canada to fight this transnational lawsuit with the Canadian lawyer, so Liu Yimeng proposed to see the file, this request was met, and after two days, they saw all the case files accusing Liu Kunlun, piled up as high as a table, and the test report of the evidence alone has thousands of pages, full of obscure legal terms and foreign languages, which are copies of relevant evidence provided by the Philippines and Canada。

Women are limited to the level of illiteracy of the law, and it takes months to read so many files, even if they are real lawyers.

They gave up their efforts and went back to their homes to settle their fate, just like the families whose relatives were locked up in the detention center awaiting the verdict, and they could only pin their hopes on fate.

On the train back, Liu Yimeng kept looking out the window, silent for a long time, and only after the car passed Jinan Station did she say to Chun Leek: "Chun Leek, sister understands your mind, don't wait, I can't wait." After saying that, the tears couldn't stop falling.

"Sister, what's wrong?" Chun Yu panicked and hurriedly took a tissue.

Liu Yimeng shook his head: "There is no hope, I know in my heart, and no one has been extradited, maybe it has been ...... It's gone. ”

Chun Leek was struck by lightning: "Sister, this can't be a joke, what do you say?"

Liu Yimeng looked around, they were sitting in the second-class seat of the bullet train, and a few curious faces were waiting for the next step, so Liu Yimeng didn't speak again, just took Chun Leek's hand and held it tightly.

She couldn't tell Chun Yun that when she was reading the case file, she quietly used her mobile phone to randomly take a page of a large number of foreign language materials, and when she came back, she translated it word by word on the Internet, which was not her brother's related son at all, but the file of an armed robbery case in Detroit in the United States in 2003.

Obviously, in order to perfunctory them, the Wang family casually found a lot of files to show the complexity of the case, because it was a fraud, so it was impossible to make a full set, which was too laborious, and secondly, no one read it at all, but they didn't expect Liu Yimeng and others to make this reasonable request, so they really mixed together and made a room, maybe these files were copied the night before, and it is not known, because it seems that these papers are very new, and they have not been read much.

Liu Yimeng couldn't do anything, she knew that her brother was like a lamb to be slaughtered, but she couldn't do anything, the other party was too powerful, and even covered the sky with one hand, reversing black and white, she didn't dare to hope for the judicial organs, because that would not only not save her brother, but also bury herself.

Chun Leek seemed to understand, and stopped asking, and the light in her eyes gradually dimmed.

……

Liu Kunlun is looking for an opportunity to escape from prison, but the detention center is extremely heavily guarded, and there is no possibility of escape, so he can only pin his hopes on the next trial to suddenly attack.

But fate did not give him a chance, after a long wait, lawyer Xie Tianji came to the prison with a solemn expression, he brought a greeting of death, a notice of execution from the Provincial High Court, the appeal was rejected, the original verdict was upheld, the Supreme Court has approved, the following is the issue of execution.

Xie Tianji said, this is at the request of the Canadian government, there is no way to undo it, the old man is exhausted and has been hospitalized, do you want to see anyone.

Liu Kunlun thought about it, he didn't want his mother to send a white-haired person to a black-haired person, the only one worthy of entrustment was the fourth sister.

"I want to see the fourth sister. Liu Kunlun said.

"I'll arrange it. Xie Tianji took out a stack of paper and a mechanical pencil, "If you have any last words, you can just stay." ”

"How long is there?" Liu Kunlun took the pen and paper, the mechanical pencil was plastic, with a 0.5 lead core, extremely delicate, and could not be used as a tool or murder weapon.

"There are still twenty-four hours. Lawyer Xie said, after saying that, the two of them were silent, and after a long time, Lawyer Xie sighed and said You write a suicide note, I think you need to be alone and quiet.

Today's food has been appropriately improved, the detention center has cooked noodles and beaten eggs, this is a traditional prison sick meal, and it is also a severed head meal, but the real severed head meal is the one before leaving, Liu Kunlun has some expectations.

These twenty-four hours are probably the longest period of Liu Kunlun's life, the lights in the prison are on, the camera on the ceiling flashes a strange red light like the eyes of the devil, he wrote and tore up, this suicide note is actually nothing to write, and there is nothing to arrange for the future, he has no children, and he doesn't even have real property that belongs to him。

In the end, he wrote two paragraphs, first asking to be buried in the cemetery in Omi, close to Brother Kang, and then making some requests for the severed head meal.

There was no clock in the cell, I couldn't tell the difference between day and night, I don't know how long it was, the door opened, a meal was delivered, twenty bamboo skewers were skewered with roast mutton, roast lamb kidney, roasted leeks, roasted steamed bun slices, sprinkled with cumin powder chili noodles, smelling incense, and a can of the most ordinary snowflake brave the world.

This is the guillotine meal ordered by Liu Kunlun.
