It’s the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, and there’s still one day left to celebrate the new year.
I was at home waiting for Lao Xian.
"It's the Chinese New Year, why don't you go over and take a look," the old immortal asked me.
"Haven't you contacted everyone you should have contacted? I've been waiting for you."
I teased Benban and replied softly.
"He has just entered the litigation period. It is estimated that he will be sentenced in three months at most. It is the Chinese New Year and no one will care about him. Let's take a look at him."
The old immortal took a bottle of Coke, sighed and said slowly.
"good,"
I agreed.
New Year's Eve morning.
Seven detention centers in h city.
Lao Xian and I drove here. Under normal circumstances, Li Shuishui's conditions were definitely not good enough for relatives and friends to meet him. Lao Xian had to go through a lot of effort to see him for twenty minutes. Because most of the guards in the detention center were on holiday, starting from the twelfth lunar month. On the 28th day of the lunar month, the prison was closed and interviews were cancelled. It was not until the 8th day of the lunar month that things returned to normal.
Stepping on the thin layer of snow at the door and listening to the firecrackers that had begun to go off outside, Lao Xian and I walked into the detention center and waited quietly in the correctional office on the second floor.
Five minutes later, Li Shuishui walked in very slowly, with a stooped figure and a bald head, dragging sixty-five kilograms of shackles on his feet.
"You guys chat, I'll come over and call you later,"
The guard left a word and turned around to leave.
In the office, I, Lao Xian, and Li Shuishui stood facing each other.
"It's Chinese New Year, I came to see you,"
I said softly.
"Thanks,"
Li Shuishui smiled, nodded and said.
"How about it,"
I didn't know what to say. Looking at Li Shuishui, I felt sad. When I recalled the past, all the past seemed to be right in front of me.
"What else can I do, accept the sentence and wait for death,"
Li Shuishui grinned and sat on the sofa. When Lao Xian lit a cigarette for him, his palms trembled.
After a period of silence, I looked at Li Shuishui and said slowly: "Thank you, you didn't say a lot of things."
Li Shuishui pursed her lips, lowered her head and smoked a cigarette, saying nothing.
"There's only one step left. If you don't shoot Shen Dianlong, he will take you away if you wait for a while," I continued to say softly.
"hehe,"
Li Shuishui lowered his head and smiled, and asked slowly: "Nannan, do you think he will take me away?" I indirectly killed Haozi's wife and entered the cave. The first thing he said to me was, there is no way. "
I was stunned when I heard this and fell silent.
"I have stayed here for more than twenty days. I have been unwilling, regretful, afraid, and tormented. I have passed it. Xian, Nannan, thank you. In the end, I also wanted to give me, Li Shuishui, a hand. ,"
He looked up at us and said seriously.
"It was so damn good that you were with us back then," when Old Xian heard this, the muscles in the corners of his mouth twitched and his eyes turned red.
"Xian, if you haven't made a mistake, you don't know what is right."
Li Shuishui curled her lips, raised her neck, looked up at the ceiling, and said slowly: "When we first debuted, there were just four of us. Nan Nan met Fatty Dai, and Fatty Dai recognized him. If you do the right thing, you will be rewarded. My son did something wrong. He was the one who supported Nannan. But you and Menmen have a good family situation. Your father didn’t let Menmen talk nonsense outside. He went back to get some money and sent him to the police station. And If you don't have enough money, Lao Chen has to give it to you if you act coquettishly or fool around. As for me, if something happens to me, who cares? No one cares. When I have time, I go out with you to do errands. Take it. The hand holding the knife trembles, for fear that if I make a mistake and cause a fatal injury, then my life will be over... Why do I want to leave the ocean? Because being in the ocean means that I have to be with you. South-South competition for resources, so I went to Zhang Weimin and Lin Hengfa's place. At that time, I thought, I just need to be smarter and make some money, and then I will go back to find you. My brothers are still together, but I will take care of things. Son, it’s too simple to think. After I stayed with them, I got deeper and deeper and got high returns in return. Nannan, you know that when you have money, it will be difficult for you to lose it. ,...You are fighting with Zhang Weimin, and as a member of Zhang Weimin's group, I must help him, because helping him is equivalent to protecting the benefits that I should get,,..."
Lao Xian and I listened to Li Shuishui's words and lowered our heads in silence.
"When you fled to Beijing, my financial situation improved a lot. At that time, I contacted many people, including Peter Lee, Bai Tao and others, but they were very annoying to me and never saw me once. In fact, They don't know at all. I just want to borrow some money from them to help you, because I have never forgotten that Nannan's first BMW was given to me. It was the first time that Lao Xian took care of Lao Chen. When I asked for money, I was given 200,000 yuan,"
Li Shuishui lowered his head and murmured.
“…,”
We remain silent.
"I have wronged many people in my life, and I have also harmed many people. To this day, I am retribution. I have nothing to feel wronged about. I just pity my wife and children. They really don't deserve to die... Really It shouldn’t be,”
When Li Shuishui said this, she twisted her eyebrows and tried not to let her tears flow out. She waved her hand to push me and Lao Xian and said, "Let's go. It's Chinese New Year today. Don't make it too disturbing. I'm fine. I'm really fine." "
"Okay,"
I frowned, stood up suddenly, wiped the corners of my eyes with my hands, lowered my head and said, "Shui Shui, you taught me the way I make friends. Once we are brothers, you... want to leave Okay, let’s not talk about the past. I will handle your immigration matter next. If your parents are willing to go, I will send it to them. If they are not willing to go, I will provide for them in their old age... ....."
"Thanks."
Li Shuishui nodded vigorously, remained silent for a while, then gritted his teeth and said, "If...you can still see Leilei, say sorry to her for me."
"good."
I nodded.
"So be it......."
"Well, that's it."
After saying that, Shuishui was helped out of the office by the guards. The shackles made a clanging sound in the corridor. Lao Xian and I looked at his back and stood there blankly.
Thirty days later, the procuratorate filed a lawsuit against Li Shuishui and others, and the court began to accept the case. Thirty days later, the court convened and the first-instance verdict was issued. Li Shuishui was sentenced to death and was immediately executed.
Li Shuishui's parents sold their house and wanted to file a lawsuit on his behalf, but Li Shuishui refused.
The following year, in April of the following year, Li Shuishui was executed and his ashes were buried in Nanshan Cemetery.
On the tombstone, there are photos of him and his wife.
Under the tombstone, there are a few small words engraved.
To the south, Lao Xian and Li Hao stood in respect.
Li Shuishui died at the age of twenty-nine.
In the next few years, people would come to clean this cemetery from time to time, and offer fruit and wine. But after a few years, the place became overgrown with weeds, and those who were willing to visit his grave did not know where they were.
