Tianjin British Concession, Huishi Hospital. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Feng Yong sat in front of the hospital bed and nibbled on an apple, gloating: "Yes, it's still alive, it looks like I will be discharged from the hospital in a few days." ”

Zhou Hexuan smiled bitterly and said: "It's too coincidental this time, the two gunmen actually collided together." ”

"yes, my follow-up arrangements are useless." Feng Yong said regretfully, he didn't think it was a big deal to watch the excitement.

Zhou Hexuan asked: "What is the situation now?" ”

Feng Yong didn't answer immediately, but said happily: "Guess who gave you a warning?" ”

"Who?" Zhou Hexuan wanted to know.

"Du Xiaoshan," Feng Yong said, "that killer was also sent by him." ”

Zhou Hexuan was speechless for a moment: "He's sick, give me a message first, and then find someone to assassinate me." ”

Feng Yong said: "This kind of land snake is used to pleasing both sides, no matter what the result is, he has favors in it." It's just that he never expected that you would actually involve the British, so he rushed to the concession patrol house to surrender. ”

Zhou Hexuan sorted out the cause and effect and asked: "How will the consular court pronounce the verdict in this kind of case?" ”

Feng Yong said: "According to British law, the crime should be attempted murder. ”

English law is eccentric, it is a fusion of three types of law: common law, equity and statute.

Common law refers to a set of rules created and developed by the ordinary courts, characterized by "procedure before right". Equity law, commonly known as case law, is based on the conscience and justice of judges, and has a great degree of freedom in sentencing. Statutes are laws enacted by Congress, which have the highest status and determine the upper and lower limits of sentencing, but are rarely used in actual sentencing.

In other words, although this is an attempted murder, if the judge finds that the impact is bad and the means are brutal, then it is possible to finally sentence him to death by hanging. Generally speaking, the consular court has handed down extremely heavy sentences in cases where Chinese have violated foreigners.

The Ma Liu, who shot and assassinated, should be sentenced to death if nothing else, because no one will come out to protect him. As for Du Xiaoshan and Chu Yufeng, how to judge it all depends on the judge's mood.

During the Republic of China, it was such a wretch, and the judicial power of the concession was in the hands of foreigners. Even third-rate countries such as Brazil, Denmark, Norway, and Belgium have consular courts in China (Peru also enjoys consular jurisdiction, but has not opened a court in China).

It is better to say that the judgment of the single concession is even more funny, and the application of the law of which country has to be discussed on an ad hoc basis.

Zhou Hexuan asked: "I'm afraid Chu Yufeng won't be sentenced, right?" ”

Feng Yong nodded and said: "That British doctor is not dead, the judge definitely doesn't want to dig deeper, after all, it is very troublesome to involve warlords." This case was investigated to Du Xiaoshan at most. ”

Zhou Hexuan said with emotion: "No matter what, Chu Yufeng will definitely not dare to do it again in a short time." ”

……

As Feng Yong expected, the British didn't want to trouble Chu Yufeng at all. If Chu Yufeng is judged to be the real murderer behind the scenes, how should it be executed? If it cannot be enforced, it will hurt the majesty of English law.

This black pot, Du Xiaoshan has to carry it if he doesn't want to.

But Du Xiaoshan insisted that the British doctor's injury had nothing to do with him, and only admitted that he sent someone to assassinate Zhou Hexuan, and he was forced by Chu Yufeng.

The case is unclear here, because the assassin who used the rifle was not caught, and the patrol room could only detain Du Xiaoshan and Ma Liu first.

Patrol room.

Chu Nanxiang walked in with a food box and said expressionlessly: "I have prepared good wine and food for you, you can finish it yourself." ”

Du Xiaoshan said with a grim look: "You want me to confess? No way! ”

"Suicide is your best choice," Chu Nanxiang persuaded, "Dashuai promised to take care of your wife and children, and your brother Du Baozhen will continue to take over as chairman of Bashantang." ”

Du Xiaoshan sneered and said nothing, not bothering to look at Chu Nanxiang again.

Chu Nanxiang continued: "Even if you are acquitted by the British consular court, you will not survive. Arms smuggling and slaughterhouse corruption alone are enough to shoot you several times, not to mention your long-term misappropriation of charitable funds. ”

Du Xiaoshan used to be the chief of the general affairs section of the Tianjin Police Department, but he was removed from his post because of the arms smuggling case, and he spent money to save his life. The slaughterhouse is also a subordinate enterprise of the National Police Agency, and Du Xiaoshan used to treat the slaughterhouse as his own company, and embezzled at least more than 100,000 silver dollars.

"Hahahaha," Du Xiaoshan laughed wildly, "Smuggling arms, can I smuggle arms without Li Jinglin's cooperation?" You shot Li Jinglin as well. There is also the public money of the slaughterhouse, who did not take advantage of the former director and deputy director of the National Police Agency? As for the embezzlement of charitable funds, none of the gentry engaged in charity in Tianjin can get rid of it! There is also Chu Yupu, who was so poor when he first arrived in Tianjin, who helped him raise military expenses? ”

Chu Nanxiang's face was cold and said, "Do you dare to poke out these things?" You don't dare, so let's be honest. ”

Du Xiaoshan broke the jar and said: "Accept fate? Lao Tzu still stayed in the concession and didn't go out, anyway, the money was stored in the foreign bank, enough for me to spend a lifetime. As for my wife and son, if they die, I can marry again. ”

"What about your brother?" Chu Nanxiang asked.

Du Xiaoshan said: "I can't take care of myself, how can I control him?" ”

"Well, it seems that you are hard-hearted, and I will not persuade you anymore. Take care! After Chu Nanxiang finished speaking, he turned around and left.

"Alas!" Du Xiaoshan let out a long sigh.

From the moment Chu Yufeng asked him to send gunmen to assassinate him, Du Xiaoshan knew that he was definitely responsible for the accident. After thousands of calculations, he still missed the British, if it didn't involve foreigners, how could he use to turn himself in?

In the middle of the night.

Du Xiaoshan suddenly woke up from his dream, he caught a glimpse of two black shadows in front of him, and shouted in horror: "What are you doing?" Get out of here, help! ”

Two Chinese patrolmen held Du Xiaoshan up, wrapped a rope around his neck, and pulled desperately.

A few minutes later, Du Xiaoshan was completely out of breath.

The Chinese patrol untied Du Xiaoshan's belt and tied him to the iron gate railing around his neck. Then he took out the ink and helped Du Xiaoshan press his fingerprints on a confession, and there was even his "autograph" on the paper.

Du Xiaoshan, the former chief of the General Affairs Section of the Tianjin Police Department, the boss of Bashantang, Chu Yupu's brother, and a well-known benevolent man, "committed suicide in fear of crime" in the patrol room.

When Zhou Hexuan heard the news, he only felt a chill in his vest, this Nima has done enough!

The shooting in the concession came to an end, and Du Xiaoshan "admitted" that he had a conflict with Zhou Hexuan, so he arranged for two gunmen to assassinate him. One of the gunmen, Ma Liu, has been arrested, and the other is still at large.

Ma Liu was temporarily detained in the patrol room, waiting for the British consular court to pronounce the verdict.

As for Chu Yufeng, there is no. But he was sternly warned by Chu Yupu, and his behavior became much more restrained, and he stayed at home for two or three months, which made the people of Tianjin breathe a sigh of relief, at least women don't have to worry about going out anymore.
