53 Crossing others does not cross oneself
Shao Youfu is not the only one who does not believe that Jane is a murderer.
The correctional officers at the detention center, through contact, did not believe that he would be a murderer.
Even the prisoners who were in the same warehouse with him, who had been with him for a long time, did not believe that he was a murderer.
However, there is no way, even if everyone does not believe it, in the face of the evidence and his own confession, it is meaningless to believe it or not.
Tomorrow Jian Zheng will be executed.
Shao Youfu was in a very complicated mood, he didn't want to give up, he wanted to make one last attempt.
He arrived at the detention center early in the morning, but he did come too early, and he wandered outside the detention center for nearly an hour before the detention center began to work.
In his capacity as the procuratorate, he made a request to the detention center to see Jian Zheng, and he wanted to persuade Jian Zheng to tell the truth, and it was still too late to save it.
His request was approved, but what he didn't expect was that Jian Zheng refused to meet him.
He pounded his head desperately.
What to do? What to do??
Could it be that he just watched Jian Zheng leave.
No, absolutely not!
He kept reminding himself that he couldn't be in a hurry, he couldn't mess up, there must be a way!
He found the director of the detention center.
This director is known to him in the course of work, his name is Sheng Yun, 40 years old, is a person with a great sense of justice, looks quiet and quiet, with a pair of gold wire trimmed glasses on her fair face, she does not smile, and always gives people a serious feeling.
Shao Youfu broke open the director's door and shouted, "Sheng Suo, you have to help!" β
Sheng Yun, who was reviewing the documents, was really taken aback by him, she looked at it seriously for a long time before she recognized that this haggard man was Shao Youfu, "Old Shao, I haven't seen you for a long time, how did you get it like this, your hair is all white?" β
"Well, don't talk about it," before Sheng Yun could invite him, he himself was already slumped on the sofa next to his desk, "Sheng Suo, you have to help me!" Then he told him what was going on and what he was thinking.
"Jian Zheng is a man we know that since he came in, he has refused to see relatives, friends and lawyers. After the death sentence was reviewed, we asked him if he wanted to meet with his close relatives, and he refused. Sheng Yun said as he got up from the chair behind his desk and walked around to Shao Youfu.
"What then? So we will find someone to persuade him. After finishing speaking, Shao Youfu repeated again, "I firmly believe that he has not killed anyone." β
"Most of the police officers in our detention center also think so, no matter how you look at him, he doesn't look like a murderer. But his attitude was very resolute, and from the moment he entered, he demanded that the lives of the dead be paid for, and this was the first time we had seen such a prisoner. β
"You can help me find someone to persuade him." Shao Youfu spoke with a pleading tone.
"You make me think." Sheng Yun paced around the room as he spoke.
"There it is!" Suddenly, Sheng Yun stopped and said to Shao Youfu: "Look at you, is this okay?" β
"How?" His eyes lit up and he bounced off the couch in an instant.
She told him what she thought.
"Okay, let's do it!" Shao Youfu said excitedly, turned around, then walked to her desk, slapped it heavily on the table, and repeated: "That's it!" β
After the death penalty was reviewed, according to the regulations of the detention center, Jian Zheng was held in solitary confinement, and this sudden move made Jian Zheng know that after his death sentence was reviewed, he would definitely be on the road tomorrow.
If there were other prisoners, they would definitely be so frightened that they couldn't stand up, but Jane was different, and she looked relieved. Not at all like a death row prisoner on the road, it behaves a bit like a person who has been held in a detention center for many years and is about to be released from prison.
According to the practice of the detention center, the detention center selected a well-behaved prisoner to spend the last days of his life with him.
In this detention center, the prisoners call the execution of prisoners the big one, and the big one that will go tomorrow is Jian Zheng.
The prisoners also called the last act of accompanying the prisoner who was about to be executed as the escort tuba.
Prisons are managed in a humane manner, and as long as the demands of prisoners who are about to be executed are not excessive, the detention center will try their best to meet them.
There is a saying in the detention center: If a person is executed, it can only be executed by the state, and the individual has no right to die, and if a death row prisoner commits suicide, it is a major mistake and he must be held accountable.
Therefore, it is a very important thing to accompany the tuba, and there can be no mistakes.
With a clang, the iron door of the barn opened, and the correctional officer brought in a prisoner, and then there was another clang, and the door of the barn was closed again.
The prisoner brought in, in addition to doing a good job of accompanying the eldest number, the correctional police have explained to him, and more importantly, he must use this last time to persuade Jian Zheng to tell the truth of the facts, cherish life, and not blindly pay for his life.
The prisoner who had just come in did not get used to the dim light in the cell, he rubbed his eyes, and slowly approached the prisoner who was about to be executed with restraints, and when his eyes were adjusted, he began to observe the prisoner who was about to be executed.
Suddenly, he stopped, and at the same time let out an exclamation: "Jian Pai!? β
This voice is so familiar, Jian Zheng raised his head to take a look, and it really startled him, "Seventh!" The old seventh he called was Wu Youli, the squad leader of the seventh class of the independent platoon in Yunya Mountain.
Wu Youli rushed over at once, hugging Jian Zheng excitedly. Jian Zheng also stood up and hugged Wu Youli tightly. The two happily called each other's names and patted each other's shoulders.
Screamed, laughed, and then cried.
The two big men hugged each other tightly and cried.
After crying for a while, Wu Youli suddenly pushed Jian Zheng away and asked him, "Jian Pai, why did you kill someone?" β
The style of painting changed too fast, Jian Zheng didn't react at once, and blurted out: "How can I kill someone!" β
"No killing! Then why would you admit that you killed two people? Wu Youli continued to ask.
Jian Zheng immediately realized that he had lost his words, and smiled unnaturally, "Yes, yes, I killed two people." β
Wu Youli grabbed Jian Zheng's shoulders and shook them desperately, and said in a crying voice, "Have you killed anyone?" You're going to be honest - it's a damn thing! β
"Don't talk about that now, tell me why you're here?"
"I'll tell you about it later." Wu Youli said in an almost pleading tone: "Now I want to talk about your business, because you don't have time." β
"You know there's no time, so you should tell me about it." Jane was smiling as she spoke. His smile was sincere, and it was the first time since the "1210" case. It's been so long, and today is the day he's in the best mood. First, because the death penalty was reviewed, he could be freed immediately; In addition, at this juncture, you can also meet the deceased.
"What do you say?"
"Say it!"
"Okay, I'll start with that." Wu Youli couldn't resist him, and finally made a concession, "After I finish, you have to tell me?" β
"Say it!"
"Do you remember when you were in the army, you locked me up?"
Jian Zheng didn't speak, just smiled and nodded.
"At the time, people didn't understand." Wu Youli touched his head embarrassedly, "Actually, I hated you a lot at the time, but I didn't know until later that it was you who saved my life." β
Wu Youli said as he sat down next to Jian Zheng, and then told Jian Zhenghe what had happened over the years.
The independent point of Yunya Mountain, where Jian Zheng and Wu Youli were soldiers, was very close to the border, and Wu Youli thought that the troops were too boring, so he often sneaked out of the army and went to the border to play. After going back and forth, I got to know some social miscellaneous people along the border.
Once, these people asked him to help bring something to the bottom of the mountain, Wu Youli was already very righteous, and helped them bring it without saying a word. These people were not ambiguous, and gave him 300 yuan afterwards. And then he did it a few more times, and these people paid him hundreds of thousands.
It may not seem like a lot of money now, but it was a lot of money back then.
Wu Youli also thought that these people might be doing illegal things, but in the face of money, he gave up his principles, gave up his bottom line, and continued to use his status as a soldier to help them bring goods.
The last time he brought more goods, about two kilograms, but this time when he delivered the goods down the mountain, the people who received the goods did not come on time, so he had to return to the army first, and dug a pit in the woods behind the barracks, and temporarily buried the goods in the ground.
And remembering all this was discovered by Jian Zheng.
At night, when there was no one, Jian Zheng quietly dug out the things that Wu Youli had buried in the ground, originally he wanted to see what Wu Youli was doing these days, and what did he bury here?
But when he opened the little package, he was stunned.
It turned out that it was nothing else, but a bag of white rice.
To be honest, he didn't know what to do with it at the time. But he was thinking that these white rice points must be destroyed, and Wu Youli could not be allowed to do this anymore.
He found a knife, made countless holes in the package, and then carried a bucket of water and poured it on it, causing the white rice to dissolve into the soil forever.
After doing all this, he left a note on the residual package, which read: "If one day, someone asks you, they say that you found out that it was a drug and took the initiative to destroy it." β
You must know that at that time, the whole country was engaged in a strike hard, and in the case of Wu Youli, as long as something happened, it would definitely be a death sentence.
The next day, Jian Zheng locked up Wu Youli's confinement, and he was locked up for more than a year, and the reason for his detention was that he went out without leave, escaped from the army, and repeatedly taught him.
In fact, at that time, the public security organs already knew that there was such a person as Wu Youli, and they squatted for several months, but they still did not arrest him. It's just that they don't know that Wu Youli is an active member of the army and is in confinement.
However, the French Open is magnificent, negligent but not leaky. A few years after Wu Youli was discharged from the army, he was still arrested. Fortunately, at this time, the crackdown had passed, and because he was able to take the initiative to destroy drugs, he was dealt with leniently and sentenced to death with a two-year reprieve.
The detention center saw that he had a good attitude of confessing his guilt, repenting and reforming, so they did not send him to prison and stayed in the detention center all the time. After years of hard work and commutation, Wu Youli will be released from prison in a few days.
When he was in the army before, Jian corrected and imprisoned him for more than a year, and at that time he hated Jian Zheng very, very much, and felt that he was retaliatory and unkind. But then he didn't think so, if Jian Zheng hadn't locked him up for more than a year, and he was arrested in the crackdown, he would definitely have to be shot. At the same time, Jian Zheng did not hand him over directly to the Public Security Bureau, which gave him the opportunity to turn himself in or take the initiative to confess and repent and atone for himself, which gave him the opportunity to get a lenient sentence from the court, otherwise he would have been shot long ago.
So in his heart, he has always been grateful to Jian Zheng, and it was Jian Zheng who saved his life. I wanted to go to Jian Zheng to thank him as soon as he was released from prison, but he never thought that he would meet a benefactor here.
"I've been thanking you all my life for giving me a chance to be born again." Wu Youli looked at Jian Zheng, "But I don't understand a little?" β
"What's not to understand?"
"In order to save my life, you ignored the rules and regulations of the army, gambled your own future and fate, and took such a big risk, why is this?"
"Your understanding is very high, how can you not understand this?"
"I really don't understand, I don't understand at all!" Wu Youli said very solemnly, "Back then, those things about me were very likely to explode at any time, as long as there was a thunderstorm, it would definitely affect you." At the least, you have violated the discipline of the army, failed to report the truth, and were removed from the army, expelled from the army, and so on. At worst, you are an accomplice to harborers and drug traffickers. Is it worth it for you? Have you thought about it? β
"Haha, human life is only once, and I can exchange your life for doing this, isn't it worth it?"
"Is it worth it?" Wu Youli stood up excitedly, "You took such a big risk just to save my life!" And now, without taking any risks, you can save your own life by telling the truth, so why wouldn't you do it? β
Jian Zheng wilted all of a sudden, and his hands were propped up on the bed board. Looking up at the peculiar skylight above the prison cell, he was silent for a while before he said slowly, "This is differentβ"
"Why is it different?" Wu Youli asked.
"I owe her so muchβ" Jane leaned forward, buried her head in her hands, and inhaled hard, "I can't be at ease when I'm alive, and even if I die, I don't think I can atone for my sins." β
"What sin will you have?"
Jian Zheng suddenly sat up straight and asked Wu Youli seriously: "Do people have souls when they die?" Does the soul have sentience? If there is a soul, will it still be with her? β
Wu Youli grabbed Jian Zheng's shoulders excitedly and shook desperately, "Jian Pai, wake up - you are a materialist!" How did you come up with any of this? How can there be a soul in this world? Throw these ideas away! β
"Well, I know too." Jian Zheng's head hung down weakly, "I wish there wereβ"
"You can't do this, we can't help you like this!"
"You can't help me, and I don't want you to." Jian Zheng's mood was very low, "Perhaps, my death is the best explanation." β
"Why?" After Wu Youli finished asking this sentence, he stared at Jian Zheng tightly, but Jian Zheng did not answer.
Wu Youli sat down side by side with Jian Zheng again, hugged his shoulders tightly, and said helplessly: "Can you tell me about the so-called sins you said just now?" β
But no matter how Wu Youli persuaded him, Jian Zheng never spoke again.
In fact, Wu Youli was wearing a pick-up device, and all their conversations were clearly heard by people outside. Judging from the content of their conversation, there was originally a breakthrough, but Jian Zheng suddenly fell silent, which made everyone sitting in the small conference room of the detention center anxious.
