In the next two days, Ling Cang's life was very peaceful. Except for one interrogation every day, it was no different from when he was in the capital. He killed the dean's wife and child, so he should be treated with special "care" here. , but Xu Chengyou never did anything, and the guards didn't treat Ling Cang any differently.
Two days later, the prison guard suddenly came: "Ling Cang, someone wants to see you,"
When he arrived at the reception room, Ling Cang saw a middle-aged man wearing a gray suit with gray temples. This man was Xu Chengyou, whom Ling Cang had seen in photos before.
Xu Chengyou has aged a lot these days. When he saw Ling Cang, he almost stood up and rushed over: "You... you are a murderer,"
"That's right," Ling Cang calmly sat across from Xu Chengyou and smiled slightly; "You probably didn't expect that the retribution in this world would come so quickly."
When Xu Chengyou heard this, he was stunned: "What do you mean?"
"You just said not long ago that the practice of killing for life is outdated, and in the blink of an eye, your family was wiped out." At this point, Ling Cang felt that the whole thing was full of drama, and he was the director: "I surrendered, And if you are willing to compensate for your personal losses, then I can avoid death. Didn’t you set a benchmark with Saijia|Xin? Now we should deal with it according to this benchmark,"
"You're talking nonsense," Xu Chengyou banged the table, "You must pay with your life if you kill someone."
"You should say this to the victim's family, but it means you have to pull out the 'benchmark' you set." Facing the furious Xu Chengyou, Ling Cang always remained tepid: "However, this way No matter what, if you admit your mistakes and can correct them, you will be praised, but if you refuse to admit your mistakes, the result will be a complete bad reputation."
Before coming here, Xu Cheng had imagined that when Ling Cang saw him, he would cry bitterly and pray for forgiveness, or he would remain silent, as if he had been exposed to nuclear radiation in Fukushima.
Most murderers behave in these two ways after being caught, but Ling Cang is obviously an exception.
As for the reason why Xu Chengyou came here, it was very simple, that is, to see what kind of person it was that took away the lives of his wife and children. He did not intend to use old fists on Ling Cang and avenge his wife and children personally, but he Explain to Ling Cang what consequences he will face, and then let Ling Cang kneel in front of him and pray for his forgiveness.
This will give Xu Chengyou a sense of satisfaction in his heart.
However, Xu Chengyou was disappointed that Ling Cang had such an attitude. He calmed down somewhat and looked at Ling Cang suspiciously: "Who are you?"
"It doesn't matter who I am, what really matters is..." After a pause, Ling Cang said word by word: "The victims of the Saijia|Xin case have lost their loved ones, but you still have the opportunity to be with your wife and children. Reunion,"
"What did you say?" Xu Chengyou suddenly stood up and grabbed Ling Cang's collar: "My wife and child are not dead yet,"
"Let me go," Ling Cang told Xu Chengyou coldly, "I don't like others talking to me like this."
Xu Chengyou didn't want to give in to a little brat, but after hearing these words, he couldn't help but let go of his hand: "Where are my wife and children?"
Ling Cang did not answer directly: "You can ask the police if they found their bodies."
Perhaps he could feel relieved after his wife died, but the death of his child was tantamount to destroying all Xu Chengyou's sustenance for the rest of his life. The moment he received the bad news, Xu Chengyou felt that the whole world had dimmed, and his own life had also dimmed. Lost its meaning.
Now hearing Ling Cang's words, Xu Chengyou saw a glimmer of hope: "Tell me, what is going on?"
"It's very simple. I want you to make mistakes in the Saijia|
"But my wife and children are innocent,"
"There are many innocent people in this world who have suffered misfortunes," Ling Cang shrugged and said with a nonchalant look on his face: "If the death of the two of them can form a cordon for people like you, so that you don't dare to act arbitrarily , then I think their death was worth it,"
"So..." Xu Chengyou finally realized something: "You are here for that case,"
"That's right,"
"What is your relationship with the victim's family?"
"It doesn't have anything to do with it," Ling Cang slowly shook his head: "I'm just here to fight an injustice. You can rest assured that I'm definitely not being bribed by the victim to retaliate against you. I believe you also know that they are very poor and can't afford it. People like me,"
"Who the hell are you,"
"Idle man,"
"Okay, since you want to talk about this case, let me talk to you." Xu Chengyou returned to his usual appearance and put on a dignified official attitude: "First of all, this case is not my idea alone. , but decided by everyone's vote; secondly, the entire sentencing modification process fully complies with legal procedures..."
Ling Cang interrupted Xu Chengyou: "I heard you said something similar, you don't need to repeat it,"
"I don't want to repeat it. The relevant issues have already been told to the media. If you are interested in this case, you can find a newspaper and read it. Oh, by the way, I almost forgot..." Xu Chengyou said mockingly: "You There are no newspapers to read here,”
"I don't need to read the newspaper," Ling Cang shook his head nonchalantly and said to Xu Chengyou: "I can respond to you now. First, no matter how many people vote, everyone will look at what you, the dean, mean. , People who are well versed in the philosophy of officialdom will not play against their immediate superiors for a family of farmers who have nothing to do with themselves; secondly, legal justice has two meanings, one is purposive justice and the other is procedural justice. It is equally important. You must not ignore the other in order to pursue one. For example, if you suspect someone is a murderer and shoot him without trial, this is pursuing purposive justice but ignoring procedural justice. The result may be an unjust, false, or wrong case. In this case, you went to the opposite extreme, emphasizing procedural justice while ignoring purposive justice."
Xu Chengyou, like Director Wang, felt that Ling Cang might be an ordinary young man who accidentally embarked on the road of crime, but he did not expect that Ling Cang could actually speak such truth to himself. In order to maintain his authority, Xu Chengyou He immediately said: "I know more about legal matters than you do."
"No, you don't understand. You rely on power to get to the top, rather than professional knowledge and ability." Ling Cang did not take Xu Chengyou's authority seriously at all, and continued: "You are facing the media. Sometimes, they always one-sidedly emphasize that changing the sentence is in accordance with the procedures, but never touch the nature of the case itself. For such an extremely cruel case with huge public outrage, if the murderer is not executed immediately, it will ignore the justice of the purpose and is the greatest blasphemy against the law."
"The concept of fighting violence with violence is outdated. We cannot take the life of another person for the sake of two dead people,"
"Then you can't sentence me to death,"
"this……"
"Our country has not abolished the death penalty. In this case, it is necessary to execute the death penalty." Ling Cang smiled coldly and continued to teach the dean of the High Court: "Of course, you said that this case is in It will become a benchmark ten years from now, but we live in the present. What you need to implement is the current law, not before or after. I really don’t understand how you traveled through time and thought of setting a benchmark for ten years from now.”
"I am exploring the future direction of law in judicial practice,"
"As the dean, you are the executor of the law, not the maker. You are in Yunnan and Guizhou, and you are not qualified to start a nationwide trend of judicial reform. Even if you have this ability, it should be limited to theory rather than practice. "Shaking his head slightly, Ling Cang said something even more unpleasant: "Any kind of theoretical tendency must gain support, but do you know that what you did in this matter made the incompatible left and right very angry? It's rare for us to stand together and yell at you. Now you have received a series of nicknames, Xu Biaopin, Xu Future, Xu Ten Years... Don't you feel ashamed?"
"I have nothing to be ashamed of. I am honest and honest. I have no selfish motives in this case, and I have not accepted any benefits from the family of the murderer."
"The family of the murderer is very poor, so they have no ability to bribe you, but..." Ling Cang snorted lightly, and said with disdain: "You made this decision because you are stupid. People who are greedy but talented are called corrupt officials. Compared with Under the circumstances, the most terrifying thing is actually not corrupt officials, but cowardly officials like you."
"I graduated with a Ph.D. and have made many political achievements in the past few years since I took office..."
Seeing that Xu Chengyou was about to express his merits, Ling Cang hurriedly interrupted: "If you are not stupid, it would be even worse. It means that you have a high degree of political foresight in handling this case."
"What's the meaning,"
"If you can give a reprieve to such a murderer with no background, then if a big shot commits a crime in the future, you will be able to avoid death more openly,"
"You are slandering me," Xu Chengyou almost gritted his teeth: "I won't talk nonsense with you anymore. I just want to ask you, where are my wife and children?"
"If justice can be upheld, you will naturally see them. Otherwise, they will be buried with justice." After a pause, Ling Cang added: "You only have three days,"
Xu Cheng didn't say anything, snorted heavily and left the reception room.
Director Wang was waiting outside. When he saw Xu Chengyou, he immediately came up to him and said, "There has been a change in the case."
"What's wrong,"
It turned out that the driver who "transported the body" to Ling Cang thought about it after returning home and always felt that something was wrong. First, Ling Cang's expression at that time was too weird; second, the contents of those woven bags could not be recovered. It is clear what it is, but there is still a faint smell of blood; thirdly, it is even more suspicious that Ling Cang took those things into the mountains.
