He lit another cigarette, and on the table next to him, the ashtray was already filled with more than a dozen cigarette butts.
The smoke slowly rose, but Xiao Tianyi still couldn't dispel the fatigue in his body and mind.
The door behind him opened, and he knew it was Long Rui without looking back. Now, only his absolute confidant could come in.
"The brothers who were guarding the outside still didn't wait for them, and there was no encounter inside." Long Rui walked to Xiao Tianyi's side and said, "They should still stay in Bato Walled City.
Xiao Tianyi nodded slightly.
"Very good. As expected of Gauguin, he tried his best to kill me before I was pardoned."
"Let's send someone to search first. The map he can get is limited. He can find everyone quickly and then catch them all without leaving any one behind!"
"That's your arrangement. I can rest assured if you do the work!"
Long Rui could see how tired Xiao Tianyi was at this time, and said, "Don't think too much... just go and rest for a while."
"The casualties are much greater than I expected. Zhao Yan deliberately stood aside and refused to come to help. Now... our troops have suffered such heavy losses. Even if we kill Gauguin, we must beware of him."
"If he dares to imitate the Kerry brothers, I will be the first to kill him!" Long Rui is a ruthless person who kills people just like eating and drinking. "You don't have to be afraid of him. You can kill him anytime you want!"
"In fact, there are a lot of grass on the wall inside the walled city. I can't possibly kill all the people from Zhao Yan's faction, otherwise it will turn into a full-scale civil war. Now, inside the walled city, the safe area is being continuously compressed, and I
To get amnesty and leave at this time, internal troubles are more serious than external troubles."
Xiao Tianyi knew very well that after Zhao Yan died, there would be Li Yan and Zhang Yan. There were more and more people in the city who were dissatisfied with his rule. These people were originally death row prisoners, and most of them were shameless.
A duplicitous man. In the past, he could drink from a large bowl, eat a large piece of meat, and divide gold and silver on a large scale. He didn't mind him being the boss. But now, everyone is worried about whether he will pass the map as usual after he is recruited and leaves the city.
But it is impossible to recruit the whole city. In this way, all kinds of thoughts are coming up. Although the rebellion of the Kerry brothers has been suppressed, Hernan has not yet
Death, Zhao Yan is just standing on the fence openly, there are more people who want to rebel secretly.
"The person who leaked that I was in Jiutian Street must be Zhao Yan." Xiao Tianyi knew this well, "but I have no evidence now."
The two were silent for a long time.
Long Rui took out his cell phone and gave an order, asking Yuan Mo to be directly responsible for searching for Gao Guang and his gang. Once found, they must be killed!
After making the call, Long Rui said: "Soon, the amnesty referendum will be over. After you leave, I will help you manage Bato Walled City. When you and Wei Shu go outside, there will be official security forces to protect you.
You. In that case, even if Gauguin survives, with his current energy, he will not be able to touch you."
Hearing what Long Rui said, Xiao Tianyi's eyes became brighter.
He will never forget that the moment he was sentenced to death by the court, he was almost spinning.
He has not killed anyone, and even all his family members died at the hands of the Gao family! However, he was sentenced to death!
Although there has been no actual execution of the death penalty in the United States for many years, it is still a death sentence, not a reprieve! Maybe ten years later, maybe fifteen years later, one day he will be executed!
When he was detained and sent to death row, Shen Weishu came to find him. As a member of the abolitionist group, she told Xiao Tianyi that she had always hoped to help more unjust prisoners and change the harsh reality of judicial corruption in the country.
"My father is a member of Congress. We will actively promote criminal law reform. The first step is to abolish the death penalty! I have read your case file. There are too many doubts and loopholes. Someone must have exerted pressure to deliberately make your case a solid case. !”
At that time, for Xiao Tianyi, who was already desperate, the appearance of Shen Weishu was like an angel sent by God to hell to save him.
His death sentence may be lifted!
He may be able to walk out of prison one day and breathe fresh air again!
"Xiao Tianyi, you must work hard!" Shen Weishu's smile at that time gave him great encouragement: "I believe that we can change the justice system in this country and let the truly guilty people be punished!"
In order to carry out the human rights campaign for wronged criminals and to petition the government for the complete abolition of the death penalty, Shen Weishu relied on his family background to frequently visit Xiao Tianyi in prison. At first, it was through a glass window, and later he relied on Shen Weishu to spend money. , can meet alone in a room without a prison guard.
Because of Brother Kong Fang's intervention, the quality of Xiao Tianyi's food in the prison was improved even during his usual time outside. Finally, he actively participated in labor in the prison and could even wear electronic shackles to work outside the prison and cultivate land. Farmland, repaired roads.
Xiao Tianyi still feels that those were the most fulfilling and hopeful days after he was imprisoned. All his family members are dead, and Shen Weishu is the only one who can send him letters and visit him in person.
At that time, even behind bars, he felt that the sunshine shining outside was full of warmth. Whenever he received a letter from Shen Weishu, describing the development of the abolition of the death penalty and the general election polls of the establishment parties, she was writing A reportage book on the abolition of the death penalty and wrongful convictions will be published soon.
Every time, he would rub the letter repeatedly, imagining his future after he was released from prison. After all, the world had not completely abandoned him. The world was not so dark, and evil could always go unpunished.
…
The frequency of Xiao Tianyi and Shen Weishu's meetings reached its peak when Congress finally began to discuss the bill to abolish the death penalty. She would bring Xiao Tianyi the latest newspapers and tell him... that hope would come.
By chance...he knew something.
"Do you have a...fiancé?"
"Well, our two families are from an aristocratic family, so we were childhood sweethearts. But when I grew up, I felt that we might not be suitable for each other. He is just a science and engineering man who is full of game programs. He has no understanding or interest in what I am doing now... …”
For Xiao Tianyi, when he heard the word "fiancé", he felt a huge sense of loss for the first time.
Even though he had never met the man named Xia Li, his first reaction at that moment was: He was a very lucky man.
"Actually... we don't have anything in common right now. He was talking about game programming and game design in front of me, but I couldn't understand and wasn't interested in it. I was talking to him about the book I was writing, but he was talking to me about it. Like his father, he ignores the current state of corruption in our country and simply says that we must respect the spirit of the rule of law and not petition frequently..."
Xiao Tianyi subconsciously said at that time: "Why should you marry a man who doesn't know how to cherish you?"
"Our family is both a political family, and we all want to make use of each other's connections in the government. I can't make the decision on this kind of thing. I know my father very well... Although I don't like Xia Li very much, I don't dislike it either. I can live a lifetime just by doing this..."
Having said this, Shen Weishu showed a self-deprecating smile.
"Tianyi... I find that when I talk to you now, I have more common topics and the conversation lasts longer than with you!"
When she said this, she seemed to realize something was wrong, and then her face suddenly turned crimson and she lowered her head.
At that moment, Xiao Tianyi's envy towards Xia Li, whom he had never met before, turned into jealousy and...hate.
Not long after that...
He waited until Congress issued a new criminal code.
The death penalty has not been abolished. The difference is that it is executed by citizens.
"Why are there such ridiculous laws?" Xiao Tianyi realized that as long as he was released from prison, the Gao family would have a thousand ways to get him to report to the sixth level of purgatory!
"I don't understand, Wei Shu. If public opinion is to be respected, then why not let the people vote to decide whether the death row prisoner should be sentenced to death?"
"The new president has the support of the arms plutocrats, and there have been a lot of popular petitions for gun control recently..." When Shen Weishu came to the prison to visit Xiao Tianyi, his face was also pale: "In order to increase the sales of firearms, this law was promulgated , deliberately releasing all death row prisoners into society!"
"This group of...politicians who care nothing about human life!"
Xiao Tianyi felt that his eyes were completely dark.
