Text: Chapter 24 Statement of Appeal

Half a month later.

In the center of Jiangxia County No. 1 Prison is a nearly completely enclosed tube room made of steel and concrete, which is known as "Cell No. 1".

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 has come in handy, because it is the Jiaolong Gang that killed the Jiaolong Gang that night.

"Bang dang!"

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

There are electric lights 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 welded by a titanium alloy plate 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 the ribs under his prison clothes that were broken by Jiang Bancheng's big fire sniper rifle bullets are partially plastered, 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 paper lunch box。

"Spit bones. Fang Zheng and the middle-aged man walked to a distance of one meter from the cage and stood still, beckoning.

The young man opened his eyes, his eyes were blazing, and if he looked closely, he could see a trace of gold swimming like a dragon 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 boy greeted, his expression revealing joy.

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

The middle-aged man nodded very politely and introduced himself, "Little brother Tuguhu, my name is Huang Youcai, you can just call me Lawyer Huang." ”

"Well, Lawyer Huang," Tu Guhun said politely, "my parents didn't come?"

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

"Oh!" Spit Bone was disappointed.

"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 full, and there is also broth, but the taste is a little light. Tu Gu 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, "What's wrong with 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. Lawyer Huang replied.

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

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

"Really?" Tu Guyun's eyes lit up, and he was eager to know what was going on 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 the corners of his eyes instantly burst into bright tears, "I'm sorry for you!"

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

"How are they? How are they?"

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

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

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

Tugu Hun was slightly disappointed.

"Do you still have a master?" Officer Fang interjected, "Did your master teach you the ability to kill?"

Spit bones and remain silent.

Seeing that Tu Gu Hun practiced the Silent Mouth Meditation, Officer Fang could also guess eight points, but he didn't continue to ask, "I'm surprised that you are so good, but why were you willing to be arrested that day?"

Tuguhun replied softly: "I didn't plan to run in the first place!"

"Why?"

"The Jiaolong Gang robbed and killed people, I just avenged Kunbo, is this also wrong?" Tuguhun asked rhetorically, "So I didn't run, but I couldn't tell if I ran." ”

"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 one, Tu Guhun waved his hand, and Officer Fang took one out of the cigarette case and put it in his mouth, lit it, and took a deep breath, "Even if you kid knows the overall situation, if you don't run away, it can be regarded as a crooked fight, otherwise you will murder and abscond, and the crime will be added to the law of Jingzhou, but it doesn't hurt if you run away, we still have a way to let you come back obediently." ”

"What's the solution?" he said, frowning.

"If you run away, the monk can't run away from the temple," Officer Fang spat out a 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 and get them to put pressure on you to turn yourself in. ”

"You are doing this, legally?" said spittle.

"It's certainly not legal, but for an extremely dangerous person like you, sometimes unconventional means are necessary. Officer Fang's sharp eyes stared straight at the bones.

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

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

"If you only killed Jiang Bancheng that night, or if you only killed the two murderers who killed your Kunbo, Lawyer Huang can help you intercede with the judge, saying that you are avenging the murdered relatives, which is a 'murder of passion', and the judge may have the discretion to sentence you to ten or eight years to be able to confess, but unfortunately, ......"

"It's a pity that I kill too many people?" asked Tuguhun rhetorically.

Fang Zheng spread his hands with a cigarette in his mouth, "Yes, that night, including Jiang Bancheng, you killed a total of thirty-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 dead, 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!"

"In other words, I have to die?" Tu Gu's face turned 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 desperately gave Officer Fang a look and smiled slightly embarrassed.

"Then I'd like to hear it!" said Tu Guhu.

Officer Fang and Lawyer Huang glanced at each other and nodded, Lawyer Huang understood, and then said, "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 provides that if a suspect commits a capital crime in violation of state law, he may, after being convicted, write a petition and obtain the collective signatures of 5,000 people in the area where the crime occurred, certifying the truth of the circumstances stated in the petition, and submit it to the Ministry of Justice of the Kingdom for verification, and after verification, he may 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 relative, and if you do a great job and get the king's pardon, you can regain your freedom," Officer Fang explained, "so we are here today to ask for your opinion." ”

"My parents know about the terms of the amnesty?" asked Tu Gu.

"Yes," said Huang, "we discussed this with them yesterday, and they agreed that if the worst-case scenario arises, 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?" asked Lawyer Huang, putting away the power of attorney.

"I'm wondering, where can I 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 looked at Officer Fang with a smile and said, "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 a 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", I dare not say that the police force of nearly 1,000 people in Jiangxia County, I dare to guarantee that more than ninety percent of the brothers will sign to support you, 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?" Lawyer Huang asked with a smile, "I will also use all my social connections to help you!"

Tuguhun nodded, "Okay, I agree!"

"Well, if there is no other doubt, please sign this "Appeal" and put your fingerprint on it. Lawyer Huang took out a thick stack of pre-printed "Appeals" from his briefcase and handed it to Tu Guhun along with a fountain pen.

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

Mr. Fang and Mr. Huang then left.

In just three days, Tu Guhun "Appeal" actually collected 25,200 autographs from the people of Jiangxia County; a few days later, a thick letter from the Jiangxia County Prosecutor's Office was sent to the desk of the Minister of Justice of the Kingdom of Kyushu, including Tu Guhun "Appeal."
