Chapter 5: The Only Murderer
For this kind of so-called defective books, Zhou Yan feels that it doesn't make much sense to spend more effort, so it's better to recuperate and prepare for tomorrow's meeting with the lawyer.
So he lay down on his bed and prepared to sleep.
It is estimated that the strength of the sedative is still a little left, and it didn't take long for Zhou Yan to close his eyes and fall asleep.
The next day, 9 a.m.
"Squeak ......"
The door to a small reception room was opened.
"Go in, you need a lawyer."
A prison guard pushed Zhou Yan in and closed the door casually.
It's a living room of less than 10 square meters, and all the facilities inside are a table, two chairs, and a monitor in the corner.
At this time, a man in a suit was sitting on one of the chairs.
"Hello, Mr. Zhou Yan." The man said hello naturally.
"Hello." Zhou Yan responded, walked to another chair, and sat down. At this time, he was shackled on his hands and feet, and he couldn't even make large movements, so the prison guards were very relieved to let him share a room with the lawyer.
Seeing Zhou Yan sitting on the chair, the person opposite cleared his throat.
"My surname is Zou, from now on, I am your lawyer, I can accept your entrustment, in the name of the client, that is, in your name, within the scope of the agency's authority......"
"Okay, okay!" Zhou Yan interrupted the other party's chatter.
Listening to this tone, Zhou Yan understood that the laws of this world were almost the same as the world before his death, so he went straight to the point.
"Did I really kill someone?"
"Huh?" Lawyer Zou was obviously stunned, pondering, don't you know if you killed or not, and asked me what I was doing? However, he still nodded solemnly: "All the evidence shows that....... You have indeed killed someone. ”
Zhou Yan understood, he had long expected that this would be the result.
So he was silent for a while...... He looked at the lawyer.
"I want to see the case file!"
The lawyer glanced at Zhou Yan, with some doubt in his expression, he didn't understand why this person wanted to see the record of the case, it stands to reason that he should be the person who knows the case best.
However, since the person concerned has made a request, he must do so, and the prisoner has the right to read the case file.
"Okay, please wait." The lawyer opened the door to the room and said something to the prison guard outside.
Ten minutes later, the guard brought a folder, put it on the table, turned around and went out again.
The lawyer opened the folder and looked at Zhou Yan again: "Please keep the case materials intact and do not damage them, and these materials are all backed up." ”
He emphasized that he was probably afraid that Zhou Yan had no culture, and he deceived himself into believing that as long as he swallowed the information, he would be able to deny and not admit guilt, and this kind of ridiculous behavior would be encountered several times a year.
Zhou Yan didn't have the heart to listen to the lawyer's chatter, he nodded his head, signaling that he knew, and dragged the folder to his side and read it.
The record of this case is a bit thick, roughly speaking, there must be at least seventy or eighty pages, which records the entire process of Zhou Yan's murder case in detail, and there are also records of the police, evidence collection, eyewitnesses and other relevant personnel in the back, as for the deceased, and the photos of the crime scene, they are not placed in the folder.
Zhou Yan didn't care, and quickly read it.
What he didn't expect was that his reading speed was quite fast, and it took him more than ten minutes to read such a thick case record.
Now, Zhou Yan has only one thought in his heart...... That'...... "I think I've really killed someone!" ”
......
Here's how the case went.
Half a year ago, Zhou Yan was still an unemployed vagrant, and on the night of the crime, he went to a bar and got drunk.
On the way out of the bar and back to the apartment he rented, Zhou Yan was knocked unconscious with a stick.
In a coma, Zhou Yan couldn't determine how much time had passed, and afterwards, according to his own self-report, he was woken up by a person.
When he opened his eyes, he found that it was dark around him, and Zhou Yan got used to it for a while before he could see that he was in a warehouse.
This warehouse is not big, only 30 square meters, and there are some cabinets and some old sundries, which seem to be privately owned, and are used to pile up those things that are useless, but they are reluctant to throw away.
As for the person who woke up Zhou Yan, in this case file, he is called [Zhang].
After Zhang woke up Zhou Yan, he talked to him, but the two found that they were brought to this warehouse after being knocked unconscious, and their mobile phones were also taken away.
In the ensuing conversation, the two quickly guessed why they had been brought here. That's ...... Both of them had borrowed from the same man's loan sharks, and neither of them could pay it back.
As for why he borrowed usury, Zhang's reason was that he lost money by speculating in stocks.
And Zhou Yan ...... He simply couldn't afford to eat because he had no money to pay rent, water and electricity, so he only borrowed 10,000 yuan at that time, but he kept delaying and procrastinating, and now it's almost 30,000 yuan.
In this way, things are very simple and clear, this kind of private usury is organized by private individuals, so there is only one way to deal with those who owe money and do not pay it, and that is to solve it with violence.
So, Zhou Yan and Zhang were scared, the debt collectors in the movie were all ruthless, and now in this situation, a group of people will come in after a while and beat themselves up, maybe, there will be scenes such as 'chopping hands'.
Just when the two of them were very nervous, outside the warehouse door, there was really the sound of footsteps, and the friction of iron rods dragging on the ground.
Zhou Yan and Zhang were about to pee.
But fortunately, Zhang touched a lock on the dark ground. He didn't have time to think about it, so he just locked the door of the warehouse with a lock.
Soon, there was a slamming of the door and the sound of abuse, but fortunately, the door and lock of the warehouse were quite strong, and there was no other entrance and exit to the warehouse except for the door.
After a while, the people outside the door seemed to find that they couldn't open the door, so they left, and Zhou Yan and Zhang escaped the catastrophe.
Next, their plan is...... Even if there is no turnaround, then they can discuss it with the few debt collectors outside through the door, which is better than letting these people in.
The night was getting darker, and those debt collectors didn't seem to have any intention of coming back, and Zhou Yan spent a lot of energy because of the fright, and the wine had not dissipated, so gradually, he fell asleep again.
By the time Zhou Yan woke up, it was already the next day......
Zhou Yan's awakening was because the group of debt collectors came again, and they threatened to use a chainsaw to cut the lock if they didn't open the door again.
The door of this warehouse is open, push it in, and push it in, and you can push a slit between the left and right door panels, and then you can just cut the chainsaw through that slit, and you can see the lock.
When Zhou Yan heard this, he naturally began to panic again, and quickly got up and found Zhang to find a way.
However, what he never expected was ......
At this time, Zhang was already a corpse.
......
