As expected, the trial ended quickly, and the Yongchuan Intermediate Court made a second-instance judgment on the case, sentencing the defendants Zhou Jun and Zeng Yixing to death, and the rest of the people involved in the case were all sentenced to life imprisonment from the original fixed-term imprisonment!

Although Guo Xiaofan is not a professional legal worker, as a journalist, he is required to be involved in all aspects of knowledge, and in his opinion, even if it is the crime of forced * sale, the seven people involved in the case are two dead and five indefinite, it is a rare heavy sentence, and it seems that there is no such precedent in similar cases in the country.

Originally, Guo Xiaofan wanted to take this opportunity to interview Yan Xiaohui, but as soon as the trial ended, Yan Xiaohui was surrounded by crazy news reporters, and Guo Xiaofan could only hear her almost hysterical shouting: "I want to continue to petition!" I want all seven of my daughter's beasts to die! ……”。

It seems that if you want to interview Yan Xiaohui, you can only find another opportunity, Guo Xiaofan shook his head and turned his head and left the noisy courtroom, walking on the road, Guo Xiaofan suddenly remembered that he had a high school classmate named Wang Songlin who worked in the Provincial High Court, Wang Songlin University is the Central University of Political Science and Law, and he must know more about law than himself, and he should listen to the opinions of professionals.

Thinking of this, Guo Xiaofan hurriedly took out his mobile phone to call Wang Songlin, and as soon as he mentioned this case, Wang Songlin immediately said: "I know this case, it's so sensational, can I not know?" In fact, as soon as the first-instance judgment of the Yongchuan Intermediate People's Court came out, all 7 defendants were dissatisfied and appealed, and the appeal said that this case should be tried by our provincial high court, so the case of this case was already known to our provincial high court, and it also held a special meeting to discuss, and sent internal materials to think that the sentence was too heavy! ……”。

"But this case is very tricky, a fool will take it, it just happened that the Yongchuan City Intermediate People's Court made a low-level mistake in the first trial, because the main culprit Zhou Jun's family environment is not good, and the family did not hire a lawyer for him, according to the provisions of the Criminal Procedure Law, for the defendant who may be sentenced to life imprisonment or death but has not entrusted a defender, the legal aid institution should be notified to appoint a lawyer to defend him, it is said that because the presiding judge himself did not expect Zhou Jun to sentence the death penalty, so he did not appoint a lawyer, do you say funny? Therefore, after the defendant appealed, our provincial high court did not even hold a trial, and directly remanded the case to the Yongchuan Intermediate People's Court for retrial! ……”。

"Ahh Is there such a thing? Guo Xiaofan didn't expect that there would be such a ridiculous episode in the middle, he also had some legal knowledge, and was puzzled: "As far as I know, unless there are new facts of the crime and the procuratorate supplements the prosecution, the sentence will not be increased on appeal", which is the basic trial principle of the court!" Why did the Yongchuan Intermediate People's Court of the second instance increase the punishment and change it to two death sentences and five life sentences? ……”。

"Who's to say it isn't? Even you, a layman, know that the judges of the Yongchuan Intermediate People's Court are straw bales, can you not know? Wang Songlin pursed his lips disdainfully, and deliberately lowered his voice and said: "Let me tell you a secret, I heard that the governor of Zeng and Secretary Xu of the Provincial Political and Legal Committee have spoken in this case, and we must settle this matter as soon as possible, and we can't let Yan Xiaohui make trouble again, so the Yongchuan Intermediate People's Court will decide the gourd case like this, don't talk about it, let alone report it, otherwise we won't even have to be friends!" ……”。

"Isn't this a matter of careless human life?! The judiciary is independent, how can provincial leaders interfere with the court's judgment because of the pressure of maintaining stability?! Guo Xiaofan said in surprise and anger.

"Cut! Judicial independence? Is it independent? The governor has spoken, who dares not to listen! It's like the provincial leader wants your newspaper to publish a report that is completely wrong in your opinion, do you dare not publish it? Forget it, let's not eat salted radish here and worry about it, who made our officials too small, when will you Guo Da reporter become a provincial leader, and then be Bao Qingtian! Ha ha! Wang Songlin laughed.

After hanging up the phone, Guo Xiaofan's mood became heavier and heavier, and only then did he truly fully understand Duan Zetao's good intentions in asking him to investigate this case, and he couldn't help but be impressed by Duan Zetao's keen insight and foresight, and decided to restore the truth of this case no matter what, and live up to Duan Zetao's trust.

Guo Xiaofan finally caught the opportunity to see Yan Xiaohui alone, at this time Yan Xiaohui was taking care of her bags, she was going to go to the capital to petition, and when she first petitioned, she even had to worry about buying a ticket, now she has received so many donations, she doesn't have to worry about anything, so she is ready to take a plane to the capital, this is her first time on a plane, there is an inexplicable excitement in her heart, and the corners of her mouth are unconsciously upturned.

Seeing Guo Xiaofan coming in, she immediately became vigilant and said with a straight face: "Who are you?" What are you doing in my house? ”。

Guo Xiaofan showed her her press card, explained her intentions, and heard that Guo Xiaofan was a reporter, Yan Xiaohui relaxed, she can have today all thanks to the reporters to help her, and hurriedly greeted her with a smile on her face, asked Guo Xiaofan to sit, and took the apple for Guo Xiaofan.

"Sister Yan, don't be busy, you can sit down too, I want to tell you more about the whole thing, please tell me ......", Guo Xiaofan took out a voice recorder and an interview book and greeted Yan Xiaohui.

After the incident, Yan Xiaohui didn't know how many times she had told the news reporter, and she could recite it on her back, and she immediately told Guo Xiaofan with emotion, after this period of experience in petitioning, Yan Xiaohui also exercised, and the whole telling process was full of ups and downs, ups and downs, sometimes sad and crying, sometimes impassioned, which was moving! If Guo Xiaofan hadn't learned some things before, he would have really been moved by her.

After listening to Yan Xiaohui's narration, Guo Xiaofan said quietly: "Sister Yan, your experience with Lulu is really sympathetic, but I have a few questions I want to check with you again, you know that news reports must ensure their authenticity, first of all, you said that Lulu just met Zhou Jun, and he took him to open a house to strengthen Jian, and the next day Zhou Jun was ready to take Lulu to Liuyeqing Leisure Center." 'Go to work', it was on the way that one of your relatives happened to be bumped into and brought Lulu home, and then Zhou Jun threatened Lulu again, and Lulu ran away from home and was taken by Zhou Jun to the Willow Leaf Leisure Center to 'work', which means that Lulu didn't return all night, right, but I read the police report record from the police, you only called the police after you found out that Lulu ran away from home, why didn't you call the police when Lulu didn't return all night on the first night? Aren't you in a hurry? Or did Lulu often stay up late at night before, and you didn't care? ……”。

A trace of panic flashed in Yan Xiaohui's eyes, and she said, "Eh, this... This is my mistake, Lulu went home that night, I have to do business, and I closed the stall late, so I didn't care about ......."
