"Bang", the iron door opened, and two prison guards stood at the door: "Li Ming, someone will see you."

Half a month has passed since the incident. During this period, the constant interrogation has tortured Li Ming, who is already thin, even less human. A stick on his calf caused his calf to fracture, and he still has a cast on his leg.

Two policemen put Li Ming on a wheelchair and pushed him towards the meeting room. Li Ming was in Beijing and he didn't understand who would come to see him.

Seeing Li Ming being pushed into the meeting room, the two people sitting in front of the iron railing stood up together. It was Li Ming's manager Zhao Zhigang and Wang Gang. Wang Gang was still holding Li Ming's hair in his hand! Xiao Maotou saw Li Ming being pushed in, broke free from Wang Gang's arm, and cried across the iron railing and threw himself into Li Ming's arms. Li Ming hugged Maotou tightly, and tears couldn't help but burst out.

After snuggling with the hair for a long time, Li Ming's heart gradually calmed down, wiped his tears, and looked at the concerned gaze of the manager and Wang Gang, a hint of warmth appeared in his heart. After all, there was still someone caring about him!

Seeing that Li Ming was not so excited, the manager asked carefully: "How is it? Is it okay? Have they treated you?"

Li Ming held back his tears and nodded: "I'm fine, how are you?"

The manager smiled and said, "I'm fine. The boss is now hospitalized and I guess he won't get better within half a year. After this incident, everyone has quit. I have found a new job and I am still an old profession. Today I will come to see you."

Li Ming said embarrassedly: "I'm so sorry, I've implicated everyone."

The manager waved his hand: "Actually everyone is grateful to you. You let us all breathe a sigh of relief. I don't want to do it anymore. Oh... I won't mention it anymore. Today I'm here to see if you need my help. I know a few famous lawyers and can ask them to be your defense lawyer. Don't worry, from a legal perspective, you are called self-defense. If you have a good lawyer to defend you, don't worry. There are so many people present at that time, you can testify for you. I'm still waiting for you to have a few drinks with you after you come out. I heard that you have a good alcohol tolerance."

Wang Gang said from the side: "That's right. My buddy is so honest. How could he do illegal things? The rabbit is anxious and biting people? Don't worry, my girlfriends all clamored to me to see you after hearing your heroic deeds. I'll introduce you to a few when you come out. You are so good, you've killed such a big man. But it's still lingering. The manager said that if the security guard had not arrived in time, the other two would have taken you alive. Don't worry, at least we are all highly educated people. You should know this legal knowledge. As long as the evidence is conclusive, it can prove that you really killed someone out of self-defense, the judge will definitely acquit you."

Hearing these words, Li Ming's tears couldn't help but shed tears again. The two of them hurriedly persuaded each other, discussed hiring a lawyer, and then left reluctantly.

Three days later, manager Zhao Zhigang finally invited a well-known lawyer for Li Ming. In the meeting room, when he saw the lawyer, Li Ming was as if he had seen a life-saving straw. He quickly rushed to the iron railing, stretched out his hands and held the lawyer's hand tightly, and tears flowed downwards.

The two prison guards hurriedly lifted Li Ming away and scolded him to sit in a wheelchair. The lawyer rubbed his hand that was so painfully held in embarrassment, and said to Li Ming: "I am Chen Yiwen, a lawyer at Beijing Haotian Law Firm. This time I was entrusted by Zhao Zhigang to be a defense lawyer. I have probably heard Zhao Zhigang talk about your matters. Today I came here to sign the lawyer's power of attorney to prove that you really entrusted me as your defense lawyer. Li Ming, don't be too excited. If you believe me, please sign it on it." After that, he handed a power of attorney from outside the railing to the prison guard inside.

Li Ming hurriedly took the power of attorney, and without looking, he signed his name on it with his trembling hands. After Chen Yiwen put the power of attorney, he looked at Li Ming and smiled, and said, "Okay, from now on, I will be your defense lawyer. Now you will tell me the matter of that day in detail."

When Li Ming thought of what happened that day, he didn't know what it felt like. He had said that experience many times during the interrogation these days. However, when it mentioned it again today, it still made him feel depressed.

After listening to Li Ming's story, Chen Yiwen breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Li Ming and said, "I hope that all the things you told me are true. If this is true, then I am 100% sure that you will be acquitted. Okay, now I will go to the parties involved in that day to understand the situation and try to find a few more people in the Fa* to testify for you. Li Ming, you should not have too many ideas during this period. You must believe in yourself, do you understand?" After that, he stood up and said goodbye and walked out of the meeting room.

However, the development of things was not as good as expected. A few days later, Li Ming was arraigned again, but this time the presiding officer was not the ones he used to. After the police pushed Li Ming in, they closed the door and went out, leaving only the two of them in the room.

The presiding judge looked at Li Ming and said, "Tell me honestly, what hatred do you have with the deceased?"

Li Ming was stunned: "I don't know him at all."

The presiding judge smiled coldly and walked to Li Ming: "You are very hard-mouthed. You are obviously in the same group as him. You are uneven in sharing the spoils. You held a grudge and killed him, right?"

Li Ming felt a buzzing sound in his head. He raised his head blankly and looked at the judge and argued: "I don't understand what you mean, why is the uneven distribution of spoils? I'll say it again, I've never seen him before!"

A trace of anger suddenly surged from the face of the presiding supervisor. He reached out to pick up a big leather bag from the table, threw it at Li Ming's feet with a sound, and shouted: "You are still stubborn until now! Look at what this is? This was found from your apartment, with a total of 500,000 yuan! Where did you get so much money? And we have retried your criminal record from your computer, let's take a look!" After saying that, he took out a piece of paper from the folder and put it in front of Li Ming.

Li Ming suppressed the dizziness on his head and picked up the piece of paper in front of him with his trembling hands. The numbers on the paper flashed in front of Li Ming: On August 6, Hilton Hotel stole 28 mobile phones, and sold a total of 50,000 yuan in cash, and distributed it to Xu Kui for 20,000 yuan; on August 10, International Hotel stole three Mercedes-Benz vehicles, and sold a cash price of 1.1 million yuan in cash, and distributed it to Xu Kui, Chen Aiguo, Zhao Mingqi, and Li Zhiguo for 200,000 yuan each...

Looking at the lines of numbers, Li Ming only felt the thunders ringing above his head, which made him dizzy, his hands and feet were cold, and his forehead was sweating. Xu Kui was the most familiar name he had in these days. He cut his neck artery with a paper cutter and caused him to fall at his feet. How could he forget this person's name?

Suddenly, he raised his head and looked at the chief supervisor and shouted angrily: "This is fake! This is framed! I have never done these things! There are never these records in my computer! I want to protest! These are fake!"

"Stop!" The judge shouted angrily, and he kicked Li Ming's head. Li Ming shrank his neck and closed his eyes to wait for the severe pain on his head to come. However, there was no movement for a long time. He opened his eyes hesitantly, and what appeared in front of him was the sarcastic look of the judge.

The presiding judge smiled coldly and said, "Don't worry, I won't beat you. Torturing confessions is illegal. How could I do this as a law enforcement officer? Li Ming, the facts are conclusive, you can't help but refuse to admit it! You can continue to resist to the end, but when it comes to the law, even if you don't admit it, the evidence still has legal effect. You'd better admit it obediently, so that the court will treat you leniently based on your attitude of confessing guilt. How about it?"

"Impossible!" Li Ming shouted angrily: "All this is false! This is a false accusation! I will not admit it! Everything I do is self-defense, and I am not guilty at all! From now on, I refuse to answer your question!"

"Very good!" The presiding judge smiled coldly again and said, "Since you gave up the opportunity to confess voluntarily, I have nothing to ask. Hehe, I can't help you when I get to the Dharma." After that, he asked the prison guard to take Li Ming back.

Li Ming finally waited for the day when the court opened while waiting for the year. Lawyer Chen has not come to visit Li Ming these days, making Li Ming take it for granted that his case is almost certain. Early in the morning, Li Ming woke up early and sat in the cell waiting for the bailiff to come.

This criminal case alarmed major media in Beijing. Because the prosecutor's prosecution showed that Li Ming was an important figure in the theft gang that has been very rampant recently, and he killed his accomplices because of uneven distribution of spoils. Early in the morning, the court's public trial hall was filled with reporters from major media.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the trial hall officially opened, and Li Ming was taken to the dock by the bailiff. In the auditorium, the crowded scene made Li Ming very excited. He didn't expect that so many people would pay attention to his case. It seems that the majority of people with justice in this world! Li Ming, who was kept in the dark, thought with relief.

However, with the prosecutor's prosecution, Li Ming gradually felt something was wrong. He listened to the indictment and seemed to have completely changed the nature of his case and he seemed to have become the main person in charge of the theft gang. The more Li Ming heard it, the more he felt something was wrong. He turned to look at Lawyer Chen and saw Chen Yiwen sitting in the lawyer's seat with a pale face, dazed and didn't know what he was thinking.

After reading the indictment, the prosecutor brought the bag of money that Li Ming saw that day to the judge, and at the same time brought Li Ming's computer to the court, printed out the information in the computer in court, and sent it to the judge.

After seeing the evidence in front of him, the judge turned to look at Li Ming and asked, "Defendant, defendant lawyer, do you have any different opinions on the prosecutor's indictment?"

Chen Yiwen stood up with a pale face and replied with a flashing look: "Previous Judges, judges, as the defendant's defense lawyer, I will first raise a little question. According to my investigation, the defendant did not know the deceased Xu Kui, the deceased in this case, at all, before the incident, and the situation that happened on that day was not as mentioned in the indictment. The deceased chased the defendant's company for money, and the two started because of a dispute. This was clearly stated in my defense letter and the defendant's confession. For this reason, I invited some people at the scene at the crime scene to attend as witnesses, and asked the presiding judge to allow them to appear in court to testify."

The presiding judge nodded and said, "Agree with the defendant's lawyer's request, you can ask someone to testify in court."

Looking at Zhao Zhigang who walked to the witness stand, Li Ming felt a little moved. Although he had worked with him for less than a year, he was so righteous for his own affairs that he not only paid for the money to hire a lawyer for himself, but also willing to go to court to testify for himself. How should he repay this favor?

Chen Yiwen walked to Zhao Zhigang and asked, "Manager Zhao, you were one of the witnesses at the scene at that time. Please tell me what happened that day here."

Zhao Zhigang showed a painful look on his face, lowered his head and hesitated for a while, and said slowly in a dry voice: "The boss came to the company to check his job that day. Li Ming took sick leave at home, and I called him. Later, Li Ming and the boss had some disputes due to work. Li Ming was angry and threatened to quit his job. When I was about to go out to persuade him, the deceased and the other two people rushed into the company and had a dispute with Li Ming. At that time, they had a very strong argument, saying that Li Ming took too much money and the money he gave them was less... "Hearing this, Li Ming only felt dizzy, his mind buzzing, and his legs trembled violently and fell to the ground. He had no idea what happened later.

I don’t know how long it took, a loud voice woke Li Ming from his confusion, and waves of sounds like thunderbolts came into his ear drums: “…Li Ming, the main member of the theft gang, caused a dispute due to the uneven distribution of spoils with his accomplice Xu Kui, Li Ming killed Chen Kui in full view of the public. The evidence in this case is conclusive. After collaborative discussions by this court, the judgment is as follows: Li Ming is convicted of intentional homicide, and now this court sentences Li Ming to death, immediately execute it, and deprives of political rights for life. Now leave the court.”

The bailiff raised the shaky Li Ming and dragged it out of the court. Chen Yiwen suddenly broke through the heavy resistance and rushed to Li Ming. He held Li Ming's hands and said anxiously: "I have tried my best! They have been threatening me for the past half month and asked me not to defend you, but today I am here! I have tried my best..." Before he finished speaking, he was pushed out by a group of police officers.

Looking at Chen Yiwen who was pushed to the ground, Li Ming's eyes were filled with tears. He could only raise his handcuffed hands and wave to the respectable lawyer.

In the death row, Li Ming was lying quietly on the cold bed. He was about to go to the execution ground tomorrow, but he couldn't find any fear in his eyes. After the verdict, he understood that it must be the boss and the person behind him. But he never expected that the manager Zhao Zhigang, whom he had always respected, would say such a testimony against his will in Fa*. The bitterness of betrayal has been lingering in his heart these days, making him feel that there was no trace of nostalgia in the world. So after the court sentenced, he did not choose to appeal, but lie quietly on the bed, waiting for the arrival of his death. At this time, in his heart, it seemed that there was a relief: he would no longer have any worries, no longer have to worry about his livelihood, and no longer have to see the intrigues in this world...

While thinking about it, I suddenly remembered my parents far away, and a bitterness surged in my heart. They didn't know about this. They worked hard to raise themselves so much that they didn't enjoy their own blessings for a day, but now they are leaving them...

In the hazy state, the iron door opened with a bang, and two fully armed policemen stood at the door, raising Li Ming out and dragging him out. Li Ming smiled bitterly in his heart: I didn't expect that they would be sentenced in advance for a day, so that they would not be bored if they stayed alone.

The next day, major media in Beijing competed to report: murderer Li Ming was taken to the execution ground today to perform a fire execution. The public security organs are doing their best to investigate other members of the theft gang...
