Chapter 24 Petition

Half a month later.

In the center of Jiangxia County No. 1 Prison, a tube room made of steel and concrete, almost completely enclosed, "Cell No. 1" is located, this boxy single-family cell has actually been built for many years, but it has never really been used, the original intention of building this cell was to hold those extremely dangerous felons, but for so many years, no one in Jiangxia County is worthy of the word "extremely dangerous", so it has not been used, but now it comes in handy, Because it was the Jiaolong Gang who was imprisoned that night who killed a transparent spitting bone.

"Bang dang!"

After the third iron door of "Cell No. 1" opened, Officer Fang Zheng, a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes, carrying a briefcase, and two heavily armed police officers carrying automatic rifles rushed in, and then the third iron door was slammed shut and locked from the outside.

There is an electric light in the cell, so there is a lot of light, and the four of them can see that the center of the cell is a square cage made of titanium alloy strips as thick as an arm, and the cage is closed by a young man in prison uniform, this young man is spitting bones, at this time he is meditating with his eyes closed, his demeanor is calm, or because of the thick plaster cast under the ribs under his prison clothes, so he looks slightly bloated, and the alloy floor in front of him is neatly placed a paper lunch box and paper cups, and half of the leftover steamed buns can be seen in the lunch box.

"Spit bones." Fang Zheng and the middle-aged man walked to a place one meter away from the cage and stood still, and beckoned.

The young man opened his eyes, his gaze was blazing, and if you looked closely at this time, you could see a trace of golden light swimming in the pupils of the young man's eyes, and then disappearing.

After Tu Guhun opened his eyes and saw Officer Fang and the middle-aged man, he stood up.

"Officer Fang, you're here." The young man greeted, his expression a little delighted.

"Hmm," Officer Fang smiled back, he pointed to the middle-aged man and said, "This is the defense lawyer that the village hired for you, Lawyer Huang." ”

The middle-aged man nodded very politely and introduced himself: "Tu Gu Hu, my name is Huang Youcai, you can just call me Lawyer Huang." ”

"Well, Lawyer Huang," Tuguhun beckoned, "my parents didn't come?" The boy asked.

"No," Lawyer Huang said, "they can't come, your case is still in the investigation stage, and according to Jingzhou law, suspects are not allowed to contact the outside world during the investigation stage." ”

"Oh!" Spit bones replied in disappointment.

"How's the food? Are you still used to eating? Seeing the change in his mood, Mr. Huang tried to divert the topic and talk about something light.

"I can eat enough, and there is also broth, but the taste is a little light." Tugu said in a low voice.

"That's good," said Lawyer Wong, "just tell me if you have any requests, and I will do my best to help you within my duties." ”

Tu Guhun nodded lightly and continued to ask, "How is my Uncle Leopard?" ”

"There is a bear and leopard whose injuries are improving, and he has been transferred from the intensive care unit of the county hospital to the general ward, and his wife and daughter-in-law are watching over him." Mr. Huang replied.

"That's good!" Tugu Hun breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yesterday I went to Dashishan Village." Mr. Huang took a step forward and got to the point.

"Really?" Tu Gu's eyes lit up, and he was eager to know the situation in the village.

"Well," Lawyer Huang nodded, "By the way, we also sent Xiong Kun's body back to the village." ”

His expression darkened, and there were bright tears in the corners of his eyes, "I'm sorry for you!" ”

"You're welcome!" Lawyer Huang paused and said, "In addition, I also went to your house once, and I also met your parents and your younger brother. ”

"How are they? How are you doing? Hearing the news from home, his eyes were full of brilliance again.

"They're fine, they put your mind at ease and don't have to worry too much about your family." Lawyer Huang said.

"I know," Tuguhun nodded, "and I believe the law will do me justice." By the way, have you met my master? ”

"Your master?" Lawyer Huang said, "No! ”

Tugu Hun was slightly disappointed.

"Do you still have a master?" Officer Fang interjected, "Did your master teach you a whole body of kung fu?" ”

Spit bones and remain silent.

Seeing that Tu Guhun didn't plan to answer, Officer Fang could guess a few points, but he didn't continue to ask, but just said: "I'm very surprised that you are so good, but why are you willing to be arrested that day?" ”

Tu Gu said: "I didn't plan to run!" ”

"Why?"

"The Jiaolong Gang killed my Kunbo, I just avenged Kunbo, is this also wrong?" Tuguhun asked rhetorically, "So I don't run, and if I run, I can't tell clearly." ”

"But it's right that you don't run away," Officer Fang took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, signaled if he wanted to have one, Tu Guhun waved his hand, and Officer Fang took one out of the cigarette case and put it in his mouth, lit it, took a deep breath, and said: "Even if you kid knows the overall situation and didn't run away, it can be regarded as a crooked beating, otherwise you will murder and abscond, and the crime will be added to the law of Jingzhou." But it's okay if you run away, we still have a way to get you back. ”

"What's the solution?" Tu Gu raised his eyebrows and asked.

"If you run away from the monk, you can't run away from the temple," Officer Fang said, puffing on his cigarette, "unless you don't care about the lives of your family and relatives near and far in the village, we have a way to toss them, let them put pressure on you, and force you to turn yourself in." ”

"You are doing this, legally?" Spit bones and muddy road.

"It's certainly not legal, but for an extremely dangerous person like you, sometimes unconventional means are necessary." Officer Fang said.

The conversation between the three men entered a strange stalemate, and then fell into a long silence.

"Am I going to die?" Tuguhun asked suddenly.

"Murder pays for life, it is justified," Officer Fang said, "If you only killed Jiang Bancheng that night, or you only killed the two murderers who killed your Kunbo, Lawyer Huang can help you intercede with the judge, saying that you are avenging your relatives and killing people in passion, and the judge may sentence you to three or five years and still be able to confess, but unfortunately, ......"

"It's a pity that I kill too many people?" Tu Gu asked again.

Fang Zheng spread his hands with a cigarette in his mouth and said: "Yes, that night, including Jiang Bancheng, you killed a total of forty-nine people, another fifteen people were seriously injured, and twenty-three people were slightly injured, although the Jiaolong Gang has been entrenched in Jiangxia County for many years, and its gang has committed many crimes, but most of them are not guilty to death, but you beat them to death, you know, they also have families and relatives, if the county court does not convict you, it will be difficult to convince the public!" ”

"So I have to die?" Tu Gu's face was gloomy, he glanced at Lawyer Huang and Officer Fang outside the cage, and said coldly: "You didn't come here today just to tell me this bad news, right?" ”

"Hehe, of course not!" Lawyer Huang sneered.

"Then I'd like to hear it!" Spit bones and muddy road.

Lawyer Huang and Officer Fang glanced at each other, the latter nodded, and Lawyer Huang continued: "The law of the Kingdom of Kyushu has an amnesty clause, which may save you from death. ”

"What amnesty clause?"

"Article 3 of the amnesty clause states that if a suspect commits a capital crime in violation of state law, he may, after conviction, write a petition and obtain the collective signatures of 5,000 people in the area where the crime occurred, certifying that the statement in the petition is true, and after submitting it to the Ministry of Justice of the Kingdom for verification, he can be exempted from the death penalty and sentenced to life imprisonment." Lawyer Huang said.

"Life imprisonment?" Tu Gu was a little puzzled.

"Of course, this life sentence is also relatively speaking, if you have done a great job and obtained the king's pardon, you can regain your freedom," Officer Fang said, "so we are here today to ask for your opinion." ”

"My parents are aware of the terms of the amnesty?" Tu Guhun asked.

"Yes," said Huang, "we discussed this with them yesterday, and they agreed that if the worst-case scenario happens, such as you are sentenced to death, if the pardon clause saves you from death, then they raise their hands in favor of it, you see, this is their power of attorney." As he spoke, Lawyer Huang opened the briefcase he was carrying and took out an authorization document from inside, on which there was indeed a signature written by Tu Gubo and Xiong Yunyi in elegant words.

"Do you have any questions?" Lawyer Huang put away the power of attorney and asked.

"I'm wondering where I'm going to find 5,000 people to sign for me," Tu Guhun asked, "There are only more than 300 old and young women and children in our Dashishan Village, and there are still 4,700 people missing!" ”

"There is me, and Officer Fang," Lawyer Huang said with a smile as he looked at Officer Fang, "You don't have to worry! ”

Officer Fang bowed his head and said: "You don't know the situation outside, since you killed the Jiaolong Gang that night, the entire Jiangxia County has been a sensation, how many years, there has never been such happy news, justice is at ease in the hearts of the people, the people of Jiangxia County regard you as a big hero!" I dare not say anything about the signing of the "Appeal", but I dare to guarantee that more than ninety percent of the nearly 1,000 brothers in Jiangxia County will sign in support of you, and if you add the personnel of other public departments, I believe that it should not be difficult to collect the signatures of 5,000 people. ”

"Are you relieved?" Mr. Huang asked, "I will also use all my social connections to help you!" ”

Tuguhun nodded and said, "Okay, I agree!" ”

"Well, if there are no other doubts, please sign this "Appeal" and put your fingerprints on it." Lawyer Huang took out a thick stack of pre-printed "Complaint Statements" from his briefcase and handed them to Tu Guhun along with a pen.

Tuguhun took it and solemnly signed his name on the "Appeal".

Mr. Fang and Mr. Huang then left.

******

In just three days, the "Appeal" collected 15,200 autographs from the people of Jiangxia County; A few days later, a thick letter from the Jiangxia County Public Prosecutor's Office was sent to the desk of the Minister of Justice of the Kingdom of Kyushu, including the "Appeal" written by the bone.
