Chapter 139: Self-Sacrifice
"It's wrong for Big Bear to hit someone, but if the other party set fire to and murdered first, can't it be considered a kind of self-defense for him?"
"Mr. Han, don't you think what you said is a bit unexplainable? It's true that the other party set the fire, but is there any evidence for the deliberate murder of you? If the other party deliberately murders, how can your friend run out and hit someone safely? You shouldn't be arguing with me here now, but you should think about how to help your friend arrange the funeral, right? ”
"Arrange the aftermath? What do you mean? Could it be that you still want his life? ”
"Death is a felony under the laws of the Empire, and the death penalty is not impossible if the sentence is to be imposed. Furthermore, I must remind you that I am not a judge, I have no power to judge him, and I have no need to cause him to die, all of which is his own fault. ”
"Okay, I'm not going to argue with you about this now, can I meet my friends?"
"He is now suspected of intentional homicide, how can you see him if you want to see him? However, Tina and her sister, as the people involved, are not primarily responsible, and you can meet them. ”
I met Sister Tina in a detention room in the camp under Sandro's arrangement, and they were very excited to see me, and asked me to find a way to save the bear, I looked at Tina with messy hair and tears in her eyes and asked, "He is my friend, and I am more anxious than you when something happens now, but this matter is very important, you can tell me what happened last night." ”
Because the island experimented with the abolition of slavery, a large number of slaves became their own masters, and in addition to being free to enter and leave theaters and other places without being restricted by their status as slaves, they also owned their own land. But it is not that you can be self-sufficient immediately if you have land, the land needs to be cultivated, and the house needs to be built, and a slave alone cannot do it, so many slaves choose to hold together, they form a variety of strange families, and then collectively cultivate and live collectively, but also because they were poor before, so they are particularly concerned about the land they have already obtained is violated a little bit, and at the same time, all kinds of inferior roots are also exposed, and after the group, the slaves with more people began to encroach on the land of other slaves next to each other, intentionally or unintentionally.
Yesterday afternoon, the group of slaves next to the big bear took advantage of the big bear's lunch break, and constantly invaded the scope of reclamation into the big bear's land, but it was not a lot of encroachment at once, anyway, it was a little here and a little bit there, all kinds of small advantages, and in this world, the land survey data is not so accurate, and the land owned by everyone is also a very different range, and there is no very precise boundary, so if you don't say anything when you encroach on it, it will be a fait accompli later. It's hard to theorize.
Tina and her sister saw that the gang was getting more and more excessive, so they stepped forward to reason with them, the gang bullied them to be girls and aggressive, and the big bear who was awakened by the quarrel soon joined the battle, and the two sides began to push and shove, but the big bear relied on his own people to be tall and big, although the number was at a disadvantage, but the momentum was not afraid of each other at all, and the two sides dispersed after a period of entanglement.
In the evening, when the bear was sleeping in a daze, he suddenly smelled a hint of burning, and he sat up sharply and found that a raging fire had been burning around the simple shed where he was.
The big bear who escaped was naturally very angry, and immediately went to find the group of people next door to settle accounts, and the group of people was also generous, without the slightest intention of concealment, and took the initiative to admit that it was deliberately set on fire, and one of them even regretted that the fire ring was not arranged, and let the big bear they escape.
The bear erupted instantly, and a slap directly knocked the man to the ground, and then the two sides scuffled together, and after a few minutes, one of them suddenly fell to the ground on his back, bleeding from his mouth and nose, and at this time, the patrolling escort came to follow the firelight and arrested everyone on the spot.
After listening to Tina's description, I frowned and asked, "So the seriously injured person wasn't necessarily beaten by the big bear?" ”
Tina shook her head and said: "It's hard to explain clearly, at that time, both sides were in a mess, my sister and I tried our best to fight, and no one could see clearly whether the person who fell was beaten by the big bear, but because at that time, only the big bear did it alone, and it was impossible for them to beat their own people, so it was difficult for the big bear to defend." ”
"What do you mean by that? None of you believe Big Bear is innocent? If he knew, I'm afraid he would be even colder, right? Although Big Bear was a little reckless, he wouldn't be light or heavy, and I didn't believe he would punch someone like that. ”
"I know you hate me because of what happened before, but please believe that I have everything that Big Bear did for me in my heart, and it's impossible for me not to think about helping Big Bear, but the law won't listen to us."
I looked at Tina and snorted coldly twice and asked, "Then according to what you mean, Big Bear can only admit that he is unlucky?" ”
"That's not it, I've already thought about it, I'm going to turn myself in, just say that I beat that person."
"Joke, do you think anyone will believe you? How can you punch someone like that? Are all the officials of the empire who you are stupid? ”
"According to the laws of the Empire, if there is no direct evidence to identify the ultimate murderer in a case, then as long as someone takes the initiative to take the charge, then the case can also be closed on this basis."
"And such a ridiculous law?" I asked incredulously, "Even so, doesn't the injured man have a companion?" They can also collectively bite the bear as the murderer, right? ”
"Most of them are just hugging each other, and they have no feelings for each other, as long as they are given enough benefits, they will not bite to death and not let go. I have thought about it, we can give them all the existing land for free, in exchange, they can't continue to identify Da Xiong, and then I will turn myself in, so that Da Xiong can be released, but, if I am sentenced, then my sister will have no one to take care of from now on, Brother Han, I know you hate me very much, but for the sake of me, can you help me take care of my sister in the future, as long as I can give her a bite to eat. As she spoke, Tina's tears flowed, and Aya on the side also hugged Tina's crying pear blossoms and brought rain.
To be honest, I couldn't help but be moved by the scene in front of me, and I began to doubt my previous judgment, could it be that Tina really liked the bear? Are you even willing to sacrifice yourself for him? The previous scheming thing was really forced by her?
I told Tina not to be impulsive, and if the injured person didn't die, maybe there was a better way to solve the problem.
After leaving the camp, I went to the clinic again, and as soon as I reached the door, I met the blonde Michael, who stopped me and said, "Sir, why are you here again?" If you don't get sick or don't always run to the clinic, it is easy to get infected in the hospital, and it will also affect the work of doctors. ”
I said angrily: "You hurry up and get out of the way, why don't you, a doctor, treat patients and guard the door?" ”
"I'm just tired from work, come out and breathe fresh air, don't turn around and curse, even a gentleman has a bottom line of cultivation."
