Chapter VI: Trial
He thought that I had given him money very happily today, and he had a lot of doubts in his heart, and when he glanced at me who was a little restless, he agreed.
Seeing him gnaw down the apple, my hanging heart finally fell, but he suddenly cried, crying while eating: "Solemn, I am not worthy to be your father..." He shed tears and took another bite: "I remember when your mother was pregnant with you, she said that she would beat you, and your uncle also came at that time......" He took another bite and looked up at me: "I said no, this child is our child, he must be both kind and smart, your uncle punched me, said I was a bastard, and I also fought with him......" He cried like thisI ate most of the apples one by one, just when I was about to finish eating, the apples suddenly rolled off the ground, and he fell from the sofa with his throat covered, fell to the ground and struggled, I got up from the chair and watched him squirm painfully on the ground, I stretched out my hand to save him, but I just couldn't move a step, just slowly watched him stop struggling, he opened his round eyes, and didn't move.
"You've lost, lawyer." The mysterious man's ridicule came from the phone, and his applause: "What a funny family show." ”
My eyes were red, and a hot tear slipped down the corner of my mouth before I realized I was crying: "Two, bastard." ”
"You've done a great job, and now I'll give you good news." The mysterious man said: "Actually, it wasn't your daughter's finger just now, it was just a special fake finger, I just want you to know the seriousness of the matter and make you obedient." ”
"Really?" I was in a good mood, and I ran to the landline and asked the mysterious man loudly: "You are not a liar!" ”
"Even if I lie to you, what can you do?" The mysterious man sneered, "I have to give you a piece of candy so that you can taste some sweetness so that you can continue to do things." ”
"The third! The last one, as you said, kill enough three and let my daughter go! I said excitedly.
"Congratulations, the last person you don't know very well." The mysterious man paused and didn't say who it was, and I was so anxious at the moment that I swallowed a mouthful of saliva, not knowing whose name he would say again: "The night guard downstairs, Uncle Wang." ”
I was stunned for a moment, I don't know whether to be happy or sad, this person really has nothing to do with me, but he is an innocent person, if you forcibly condemn the crime, Wang Dan betrayed himself, his father abandoned his mother and himself, although they are also involuntarily, but this Uncle Wang has nothing to do with this matter.
"Lie to him and say that there is a problem with the electrical circuit at home, let him solve it, and then, you solve him." The mysterious man said coldly.
Looking at the body of my father on the ground, and then looking in the direction of the bedroom, where Wang Dan's body was lying, I had no choice, there was no turning back, thinking that I would be able to let my daughter see the light of day again, and my daughter's finger was not broken, I quickly called Uncle Wang's phone: "Who?" The voice of the security guard Uncle Wang came from the mobile phone, slightly hoarse.
"I'm Lawyer Tong from 013 on the sixth floor of Unit 3, and there is something wrong with the circuit, please take a look." I lied.
"Okay, you wait for the boy." Uncle Wang said happily: "By the way, you are really good today, you won such a big lawsuit, I told my grandson that it was a barrister in our community, and he said that he wanted to be a lawyer like you in the future, don't talk about it, let's talk upstairs later." ”
After hanging up the phone, I suddenly remembered that this Uncle Wang and his grandson were dependent on each other, and his son and daughter-in-law worked in other cities and earned very little money.
"Kill him, then his little grandson will be like me, he has lost his most important support since he was a child, he has left a shadow since he was a child, and he can't be a powerful lawyer......" I held the mobile phone that had been hung up, and I had mixed feelings for a while.
Somehow, I kept thinking about my situation when I was a child, and that feeling of helplessness was the most helpless, especially when I remembered that I was crying helplessly in front of my mother's hospital bed.
"You say, just kill enough three people?" I said suddenly.
The mysterious man waited a few seconds before he said, "I said it, why, you still don't hide the body of your bastard daddy." ”
I didn't speak, ran to the door, locked the door, ran to the toilet to open the door of sin, took out the box inside, and sat on the sofa: "I can't be wrong again and again, at least I can't kill innocents anymore, otherwise my life will be meaningless, I got into trouble with you because I was a criminal defense lawyer, and now I can't even take off my last fig leaf, I can't break the law anymore." "My face was as gray as my face was dry, my lips were dry, and my face was pale.
The mystery man didn't reply to me for a long time, and after a while he suddenly said loudly, "Great! I know what you're going to do, and it's a surprise to me. When you kill three people, I will automatically release your daughter. ”
I understand that this is finally coming to an end, I closed my eyes, everything in my life flashed like a marquee, my tears slipped down, it seemed to be a little reluctant, I was very tired, but there was always some responsibility, I was a very lazy person, but when I went to be a lawyer, I was extremely serious, I lit the lighter and put it on the box, the box quickly burned, I put it on the coffee table, sat there peacefully, closed my eyes and recuperated, as if I didn't care about anything at the moment.
"Let me hear my daughter's voice." I said loudly, making sure the mystery man was listening, as I didn't know when the box was going to explode.
After a few seconds: "Daddy! Father! My daughter's shouts came from the phone, I walked over, went to the front of the telephone and said very calmly: "Xiaoyu, dad is not a bad person, mom is not, grandpa is not ......" After speaking, I hung up the phone.
"Open the door." At this time, Uncle Wang happened to come over and knocked on the door twice, and the box behind me was already half burned, and the contents were exposed, and it was irreparable at this moment: "Uncle Wang, evacuate everyone quickly, this place is about to become a sea of fire." "Peng!" With a bang, the contents of the box exploded, and countless flames were scattered all over the room, and many places began to ignite.
"What's going on, kid?" Uncle Wang slammed the door a few more times, realizing that something was wrong: "Open the door, little boy!" Don't think about it. ”
"Uncle Wang, it's too late, the house is burning and you have to wait a while, you go and ring the fire bell, I will definitely die." I said calmly.
Uncle Wang asked about the smell of burning, reluctantly hammered the door, and then quickly pressed the fire bell on the wall, and began to evacuate the people of the entire building, that night, the fire lit up the entire block, and three innocent people died in the whole building.
……
"The defendant killed the deceased without reason, which is a heinous crime, and I hope that the collegial panel will prudently announce the verdict, and I am done with my speech." The lawyer sat down.
The presiding judge asked Xiang Tong solemnly: "Defense lawyer, do you have anything else to state?"
Tong solemnly stood up and said: "Presiding judge, the defendant used a knife to intimidate the deceased, but did not cause injury, and then the deceased received a stimulus and grabbed the machete and waved it at the defendant, causing a serious threat to the defendant's life, and the two were fighting, and the defendant killed the deceased, I think this is legitimate defense."
"Does the prosecution have anything to add?" The presiding judge said.
"Presiding judge, we believe that the defendant posed a threat to the life of the deceased, the defendant has a background in criminal syndication, and has committed many crimes, and in the face of such a vicious person, the deceased should be self-defense by snatching a knife and slashing and killing, while the defendant killing the deceased in the fight is a crime of intentional homide." The lawyer sat down.
"Defense." The presiding judge said.
Tong solemnly put on his tie, exhaled, stood up and looked at the presiding judge: "The law is sacred, we judge the rights and wrongs of a matter should be reviewed in strict accordance with the laws and regulations, and they cannot be treated differently because of their special status, and the final judgment of the law cannot be swayed by public opinion, this is the most basic dignity of every legal person, my speech is over, the presiding judge."
The collegial panel began to discuss, and soon after, the verdict was that "the defendant is guilty of intentional homicide and is not established." ”
