Chapter I

Peaceful, peaceful, warm and orderly people who work, study and live in the city that is suddenly full of vitality and vitality are disturbed by the sudden murder of people. The sudden hustle and bustle in the past days, whether it is busy work, or after tea and dinner, people can't get around the topic. People who have always been rich in imagination, assumptions, and suspicions make things even more confusing: condemning, spitting, complaining, and sympathizing with them...... Despite this, the murder case of the Wu brothers, which affected the people of the city, was sentenced on December 24, 2018.
In the Songnen Plain in the middle of winter, in the hinterland of the 800-mile Hanhai Sea, the northwest wind howls and abuses unscrupulously on the sleeping land. The flying sand, rocks, dust, and discarded objects on the earth floated endlessly, rolling, and were ruthlessly thrown into the air, ravines, and corners. High-rise buildings, towering trees, and a "whoosh" sound at the same time, as if it was a grievance without a tune. The eternal procedures and laws of nature are vividly exerted in the cold winter wax moon.
The weather is freezing and people are constantly adding clothes when traveling. If people who go out blindly chase after fashionables, once they get outside, their thin bodies will be immediately penetrated by the cold, and no matter how fan's master is, they will instinctively wrap their coats tightly. The occasional bearded man went out, and soon the beard was covered with frost flowers. Despite the cold weather, there are still groups of morning exercisers on the streets. They wore fashionable sneakers with colorful gloves. on the street; on the boulevard; on the banks of the Nenjiang River; on the pier; On the crystalline ice more than one meter thick, striding meteors walked, jumped, jumped, jogged, and danced with knives and swords, twisting Yangge, and dancing.
In the early morning, the buildings on both sides of the road appear clear and clear. Only the breakfast hall is open for business. The road seems to be much wider, flatter and smoother than during the day, and although the tall trees on both sides of the road are hibernating, they are still giving birth to lush foliage and infinite fruits. Only the pine and cypress show their unique style in the harsh winter.
There were more people in the streets and alleys. Ladies wear a variety of dresses and a variety of fashionable down coats of different styles. The straight figure shows the dignified and graceful. The gentlemen were dressed very well, with their hands in their pockets, and although their steps were hurried, they were full of style, and they were running on the way to work.
More than a dozen buildings with more than 20 floors of different styles and quaint and modern are the city's landmarks.
…… Urban planning construction, strengthening and improving infrastructure, comprehensive environmental management, green mountains and clear waters, engineering lighting, soft environment governance, medical employment, home care, children attending nursery schools, people's spiritual outlook, and the improvement of the comprehensive quality of the government...... Serving all the people who live and work in this city is excerpted from the conversation record of the secretary of the Jiangcheng Municipal Party Committee.
The Court Square is already crowded. Today, the verdict of Wu Er's murder case, which affected the people of Jiangcheng, was announced. Officials of the Municipal People's Congress and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, family members, relatives, classmates and friends, comrades-in-arms of educated youths, and Jiangcheng citizens who were concerned about the case gathered at the court square. Despite the cold weather and the sentencing of major criminal cases, the courts still have to follow the usual opening times. Only the golden and red national emblem above the court building watched the people waiting in the cold wind.
Wu Yi, Ding Zandong and his wife, Wu Wu, Zuguang and his wife, and Wu San's daughter-in-law Kexin, came to the court early in the morning. Because Wu Er is going to be judged, they are brothers and family members.
Wu Yi was looking for his niece Wu Ziwei in the crowd, he turned around in disappointment and asked his daughter-in-law the time. Ding Zandong told him softly, Wu nodded and looked at his daughter-in-law affectionately. After a while, he turned his gaze to the office building, which, although it had been serving the people for several years, still looked as bright as the newly opened.
The building is a comprehensive building with a curtain wall as the main body. The front and left and right sides are inlaid with gray and shiny glass, which shimmers in the sunlight, and the open windows are dotted with stars. The main body of the building is a pale gray marble slate wall, and the integrated architectural style and perfect structure make people sigh: the design of this building is absolutely amazing. Six brown doors lined up on the second floor, and people had to climb the steps to get in and out of the courthouse. The east and west sides of the square are densely planted with trees, and the entrance and exit of the courthouse are covered with pruned holly euonymus and "mushroom" pines. Whether it is day or evening, men, women and children who come to the square for leisure like to rest, enjoy the cool and play entertainment games here. There are people in the square who step on the half-icy and half-snow ground in the corner, and the sound of "clicks" ...... relieve the cold and long waits.
Ding Zandong turned over and sorted out the scarf around Wu Yi's neck. Seeing his sister-in-law's actions, Wu Wu and Zu Guang, who were on the side, immediately came over to help.
"Is Big Brother cold?" Wu Wu asked.
Wu Yi looked at his relatives and said affectionately, "It's okay." ”
The morning breeze was already blowing, and people's cheeks were flushed.
"Frozen faces, huh?" Ding Zandong looked at her husband's flushed face and asked in a relaxed tone.
Wu Yi looked at his daughter-in-law's red face and said, "Are you cold?" ”
Ding Zandong shook his head and said, "I'm wearing thick clothes." ”
I saw her wearing a red coat and a purple down jacket. Although she has entered old age, the years have not turned her into a bloated body. Her tall figure is very well-proportioned, and there are no wrinkles on her face that have accumulated vicissitudes, and her dignified, delicate, and fair skin still accompany her years and mileage. She took off her gloves and rubbed her husband's injured shoulder blades, "Is there a reaction?" She asked her husband.
When Wu Yi heard this, he subconsciously dodged his daughter-in-law's hand...... Wu Er raised the ...... in his hand again Third brother, third brother...... He and Wu San entered the hospital at the same time. He struggled to share a ward with his third brother. The doctor told him that Wu San was in intensive care. So he hung up the hanging bottle and always stood in front of the third brother's ward, looking at the third brother who was lying quietly on the hospital bed and didn't understand anything.
Although the doctor said to him: "Your body is weak to ...... He was seriously injured ...... his body," but he remained immobile until he was unable to support himself, was helped onto a hospital bed, and was forcibly injected with muscle injections. But Wu San, who was hospitalized for more than a day, was finally killed by Wu Er. When Wu Yi learned about it, he went into shock at the same time......
Ding Zandong blamed himself and clenched her husband's hand tightly. At the same time, Wu Wu, Zu Guang, and Ke Xin kept comforting their sister-in-law.
"It's fine." Wu Yi covered himself up. But Ding Zandong clearly knew that her husband was shaking, his heart was aching, and his wound was dripping blood.
"Big brother, everything will pass." The fifth brother comforted Wu Yi.
"Yes," Wu Yi said, "everything will be fine." "He wants to attend the court session calmly. However, his paler face and fluctuating heart could not hide his inner emotions. Although his injuries were basically healed, since the tragic and vicious incident, it is not so much that he is hospitalized for treatment, but that he is running for his life. The death of the third brother made his injuries repeat again and again, to the point of insensitivity, loss of the ability to discriminate, loss of dignity, and loss of legal awareness. But as his own brother, as the first witness, he still has to do his best to pull the second brother back from the death line? Even if the sentence is to be reduced to a minimum? But then he asked, is this the right thing to do? The dead are gone...... Third brother, you can give your eldest brother a dream.
However, Wu Wu (the current secretary of the Party Committee and director of the Jiangcheng Taxation Bureau) and Zu Guang (the current deputy mayor of Jiangcheng City), who have always respected and admired the eldest brother, have a completely different statement from the eldest brother: Wu Er, who went to the countryside to join the queue before the age of 20, and another household member did not regret after injuring two members. Since then, the trajectory of his life has changed radically. Over the years, he has fought more than once, and at the same time, he has also created his cynical, sanctimonious, and ruffian style. It can be said that his nature and worldview have changed.
Wu Yi's eyes widened, looking at his extraordinary brother and sister-in-law, he was a little dazed. Listening to their analysis of their own brothers, they realized the truth and falsehood, and understood the good and evil and true feelings in the world. But how useful are these qualitative statements and conclusions now? The third brother is gone, and the second brother is facing trial, what do these criss-crossing things make the brothers do? After all, the facts are clearly laid out in front of us, can we fall into the ground?
"Put aside all grievances," Wu Yi said, "he is unkind, he doesn't think about brotherhood, we can't do any more unrighteous things." ”
"Big brother," Wu Wu said in his heart at the same time, "and my third brother, we are all brothers." ”
Wu Yi was stunned, speechless, he sighed, looked at the fifth brother stupidly, and looked at all the people. At the same time, his mind seemed to be overturned, one by one, one by one...... He remembered his mother's words: "He is not my son." Then the mother ordered the fifth son and daughter-in-law, and at the same time told them to shut up, and forced them to take a stand. Wu Wu and Zu Guang held their mother's hand.
"Mom," Wu Wu said: "He deceived his teacher and destroyed his ancestors, annihilated human nature, and no one could help him......" Thinking of this, Wu Yi got rid of a pair of loving hands and sighed heavily. As a result, people looked at the strong and upright Wu Yi, who was refreshed and seemed to have come out of a nightmare, with smiles on his face.
"The door is open." Someone said it loudly.
Wu Yi, Ding Zandong, Wu Wu, Zu Guang and Kexin looked around at the people who passed by at the same time.
Wu Ziwei was behind the uncle, the aunt, the third aunt and the uncle and the aunt, and her eyes kept looking at them. Because of his father, the Wu family had an "earth-shattering" incident. Wu Ziwei was even more timid, feeling sorry for the Wu family and the dead third uncle. No matter how harsh and unbearable the words of the third uncle's son Wu Zihe were, and he sprinkled the anger of his father's death on her head, he would not blame his younger brother, he would blame his father, and it was his father who did something unreasonable......
Wu Ziwei saw the uncle and them coming, and immediately greeted them.
At this time, Wu Yi, Ding Zandong's son, daughter-in-law, daughter, son-in-law, Wu San's son Wu Zihe, Wu Wu, Zuguang's son Wu Zibin. Ding Zandong's maternal brother, sister-in-law and their children all came.
They climbed the steps and entered the courtroom......
