"The defendant will make the final statement below. The defendant Zhou Fu, stand up and try to be as short as possible." Fang Chaoyang said.

Zhou Fu slowly stood up, looked around, blinked his eyes a few times, squeezed out two tears, and said, "First of all, I want to apologize to Meihua. Although she can't hear it, I'm sorry, it was my impulse to let her leave this world. I'm an adult, no matter how she seduces her, I shouldn't touch her. Secondly, I want to apologize to Shi Yongguang and his wife. They lost their daughter, which is very sad, and I am willing to compensate. Finally, I want to apologize to my wife Gao Erwei. I ruined the family and hoped that she could take good care of the children. I'm sorry."

After saying this, Zhou Fu remained silent for a long time. Fang Chaoyang asked, "Defendant, have you finished speaking?"

"Say, I'm done, I'm asking the court to handle it with mercy." When Zhou Fu spoke, he did not look at the court, but instead looked at Shi Yongguang and his wife in the auditorium.

"Judge, please let Director Zhou go, he is the first offender." Shi Yongguang suddenly stood up and said loudly.

"Sit down and don't make noise." Fang Chaoyang said with a cold face.

At this moment, Shi Yongguang's wife also stood up, "All the kids are dead, don't take anyone else's life, let Director Zhou go!"

"You are really tolerant and generous!" Fang Chaoyang said coldly.

"How can I say that when will the revenge be repaid? We..." Shi Yongguang remembered a word, but later the language did not know how to organize it.

"Thank you! Thank you!" Zhou Fu nodded, with a hint of pride in his gratitude.

"Tele them both out of court." Fang Chaoyang said.

"Judge, you can't..." Shi Yongguang panicked. The bailiff stepped forward and took the two away from the scene without hesitation. While they were walking out, they were still shouting to let Director Zhou go.

Beads of sweat as big as beans suddenly appeared on Zhou Fu's forehead. He realized something was wrong and his body could not hold on. He sat on the chair all at once.

"The evidence presented in court will be handed over to the court after the adjournment. The trial ends here and the court will be adjourned! The collegial panel will conduct an evaluation, and the court will be held ten minutes later to announce the verdict. Take the defendant Zhou Fu down." Fang Chaoyang knocked the gavel heavily, then stood up and left.

Back in the small conference room behind, Fang Chaoyang's face turned gloomy and was still very angry. Zhou Fu was nothing, and he wanted to escape the legal sanctions with a few bad money. Xu Wei was so angry that she smashed the table with her fist a few times, angrily scolding Zhou Fu for not repenting in her final statement. She insisted that Shi Meihua seduced him first and was still using compensation, asking Shi Yongguang and his wife to help him speak.

"I think Zhou Fu must be sentenced strictly, otherwise, in many future cases, the suspects will think that as long as they do the work of the victim's family, they can buy their lives with money." Gao Yiwei changed his attitude and was also very angry.

"I also agree with the strict judgment. There is no legal problem." Xu Wei said.

"Someone will say that we are unkind." Fang Chaoyang reminded.

"Whatever they say, as law enforcement officers, you must keep an eye on the pressure."

"Okay, I agree with you." Fang Chaoyang nodded.

Ten minutes arrived soon, but for some people at the trial, it seemed so long. Gao Erwei couldn't sit still at all. She got up and sat down again and again, rubbing her face constantly. Yan Ze's face was not good-looking. He felt the unhappyness of the judge of the collegiate panel and secretly blamed Zhou Fu. In his final statement, he did not grasp the key points.

"Everyone stands up, please ask the presiding judge and the juror to enter the court." Zhao Fangfang said loudly.

Everyone immediately stood up, Fang Chaoyang and the other two walked back to the judge's bench, stood firmly, and after looking around, Fang Chaoyang knocked on the gavel, and said at the same time: "Please sit down and continue the court."

"The defendant Zhou Fu was present in court."

Zhou Fu was taken to court, staggering, his legs trembling, and he stood reluctantly on the dock, lowering his head and daring to look at the bench.

"Through the court hearing just now, this court fully listened to the confession, defense and final statement of the defendant Zhou Fu. The prosecutor read out the relevant evidence materials to the court, and asked the witnesses presenting the court to testify in court. The prosecution and defense parties crossed the evidence and fully explained their respective debate opinions during the court debate. After evaluation, the collegial panel believed that the testimony said in court and the relevant evidence materials presented by the prosecutors in court were legal in form and the contents were mutually verified, and could be used as the basis for the finalization of the case. This court confirmed it, and the following sentence was made for the case." Fang Chaoyang said in a deep voice.

"Everyone stands up!" Zhao Fangfang said loudly.

Everyone stood up again, Fang Chaoyang pronounced the judgment result. According to relevant legal terms, the defendant Zhou Fu had extremely bad criminal behavior and extremely cruel methods. He was sentenced to indecent assault, three years, arson, eight years, intentional homicide, and death penalty. A total of executions were executed, and a fine of 500,000 was also sentenced to a fine of 500,000.

Zhou Fu completely collapsed on the chair. The bailiff hurriedly stepped forward and pulled him up to stand up. Gao Erwei, who was in the back row, shouted that she was dissatisfied and must appeal.

"This judgment is an oral judgment, and the judgment will be served within five days. If you are not convinced of this judgment, you may appeal through this court or directly to the Higher People's Court within ten days from the day after receiving the judgment. If you appeal in writing, you should submit one original copy and four copies of the appeal." Fang Chaoyang said.

"Defendant Zhou Fu, have you heard it clearly?"

"I heard it clearly, I, I want to appeal." Zhou Fu said tremblingly.

"Now, the court will be closed and the defendant Zhou Fu will be taken out of the court." Fang Chaoyang knocked the gavel and left the court with Gao Yiwei and Xu Wei.

Fang Chaoyang returned to the office. It was already past five o'clock and it was time to get off work.

When he turned on his phone, there was a missed phone call on it. The number was Hai Xiaozhou's office. He lit a cigarette, sucked it relaxedly, and dialed Hai Xiaozhou's cell phone.

"Xiaozhou, the court has started today and the phone is off." Fang Chaoyang explained.

"I forgot, how did the verdict be made in Zhou Fu's case?" Hai Xiaozhou asked.

"death penalty!"

"The prosecutor's psychological expectation is the highest life imprisonment, which is an unexpected surprise." Hai Xiaozhou said happily.

"Zhou Fu didn't have much repentance. Until the end, he was still pouring dirty water on the disabled girl. Moreover, the victim's family's face was really unacceptable. He just wanted to use his daughter to get more compensation, for fear that the victim would die." Fang Chaoyang said.

"It's speechless for parents to do this. They will definitely seek appeal, right?" Hai Xiaozhou said.

"If you appealed in court, you can do whatever you want, the Criminal Court of the Intermediate People's Court will make such a judgment. In law, there is no mistake in the judgment." Fang Chaoyang said confidently.

"Haha, the macho atmosphere can be felt at such a distance, it is too strong." Hai Xiaozhou joked.
