After confirming Xu Lang's identity as a police officer, Zhang Jinzhong slowly told his bizarre experience.
Things have to start from the night of March 12th.
Zhang Jinzhong is a lawyer and often litigates cases for people who need legal aid. Of course, Zhang Jinzhong does not provide free services when litigating cases. After all, he is not a public interest lawyer.
On the afternoon of March 12th, he had just won a lawsuit and returned to his law firm when he received a strange phone call.
The call was from a man. On the phone, the man who called told Zhang Jinzhong that he wanted to ask Zhang Jinzhong to help him fight a lawsuit.
Zhang Jinzhong, who had just won a lawsuit for his client and received a considerable amount of legal fees, and added another sum to his resume, was worried about someone finding him again.
He wholeheartedly agreed.
On the phone, he briefly asked about the case the other party wanted to litigate, and mentally calculated what the odds of winning the lawsuit were and how much legal fees he should charge.
The case entrusted by the other party was actually very simple. It was a dispute caused by a car accident. The client told Zhang Jinzhong that he was a family member of the victim and wanted to sue the driver to get justice for the family members who died in the car accident.
The case is very simple. It stands to reason that in a case like this, the client has a high winning rate. However, after some questioning, Zhang Jinzhong discovered that this case is far more than that simple, because the car accident occurred ten years ago.
What happened was that the driver who caused the accident fled the scene directly after hitting someone with his car. Because of the incomplete monitoring facilities at that time and the remote location of the accident, the case remained unsolved for a long time. Until not long ago, the driver who caused the accident was found again.
Because of another car accident, someone was killed. When he drove away again, he was arrested by the police. After interrogation, the other party took the initiative to confess the case, which allowed the case to be solved. Therefore, he wanted to die for
The relatives seek justice.
After listening to the client's story, Zhang Jinzhong fell into silence, hesitating whether to take the case.
It is normal for Zhang Jinzhong to hesitate. First of all, this case happened ten years ago. It is a long time ago. Many key evidences and clues will definitely be lost or damaged as time goes by. According to the client, this
Although the driver who caused the accident was arrested and took the initiative to confess the case, during the trial, a lot of evidence will definitely be needed to prove the authenticity of the case. However, it is definitely difficult to prove that this case is related to the driver who caused the accident.
It is very big. The work of investigating and collecting evidence must be difficult. It is not easy to win this lawsuit. Secondly, I have just won my thirtieth lawsuit. If I take over this case, I will win.
He won't get much legal fees, and although his reputation can be improved to a certain extent, if he loses the fight, it will definitely have a great impact on his reputation, so Zhang Jinzhong is very hesitant.
Just when Zhang Jinzhong was hesitating, the other party proposed that as long as Zhang Jinzhong took over the lawsuit and won the lawsuit, he was willing to pay one-third of Zhang Jinzhong's compensation. Even if he lost, he would pay more than ordinary lawyers.
The legal fees for taking the case would be much higher. After Zhang Jinzhong heard what the other party said, he hesitated and took the case.
Since he agreed to take the case, he asked the other party when he could meet, face to face, and inquire in detail about the whole story of the case. After all, only by understanding the case in detail can he be prepared to win the case.
The other party told Zhang Jinzhong on the phone that since he was not in S city now, he could go back to S city the next day, and the two parties made an appointment to meet at a coffee shop.
After making an appointment, Zhang Jinzhong felt relieved. The next night, he came to the coffee shop as scheduled and met the client who called. When he saw the client, Zhang Jinzhong planned to give up taking over the project.
There was no other reason for filing the case, because the person looking for him did not look like a rich man at all, but a middle-aged man who was dressed very ordinary, even a little shabby. The clothes on his cheeks were rough and covered with calluses.
His hands all revealed that he was just a low-spirited migrant worker who could not possibly have much money. However, since he was here, even if he wanted to reject the case, he still needed to make it clear to the other party.
After Zhang Jinzhong walked to the man and sat down, he ordered a cup of cappuccino. He began to examine the man and asked absentmindedly about the case. As for what the case was about, Zhang Jinzhong actually didn't care at all at that time. He was drinking.
While drinking coffee, I was thinking about how to reject the agent in this case.
After seeing Zhang Jinzhong, the man introduced himself. His name was Wang Wenruo. He was forty-five years old. The person who was killed in the car accident ten years ago was his wife Li Jingwen. The person who drove his wife Li Jingwen to death was a man named Sun Qihang.
people.
When Zhang Jinzhong heard the name Sun Qihang, he felt that the name was familiar. He seemed to have heard it somewhere. However, he was thinking about how to dismiss the case at the time, so he didn't think much about it. However, when the man who claimed to be Wang Wenruo
When the man took out two stacks of hundred-dollar bills from a tattered leather bag, Zhang Jinzhong's eyes suddenly lit up.
Wang Wenruo pushed 20,000 yuan in front of Zhang Jinzhong and told Zhang Jinzhong that it was a deposit for legal fees for the lawsuit. As long as Zhang Jinzhong was willing to take the case, he was willing to pay 30,000 yuan.
As the saying goes, those who have money but don’t make money are bastards. When Zhang Jinzhong saw the 20,000 yuan in front of him, he was just thinking about what to do.
After rejecting the case, he immediately agreed.
After accepting the money, he began to ask Wang Wenruo about the specific circumstances of the case and started working as a professional lawyer. However, Wang Wenruo told him that he did not bring the information related to the case and left it at home, hoping that Zhang Jinzhong could follow him.
We went to get it together. Zhang Jinzhong naturally did not hesitate and agreed to Wang Wenruo's request immediately.
So, the two people left the coffee shop. When checking out, Zhang Jinzhong took the initiative to pay. After all, the cost of two cups of coffee was nothing compared to 20,000 yuan. After leaving the coffee shop, he
I drove with Wang Wenruo, and under Wang Wenruo's guidance, I came to Chengbei District and entered a tube building.
After Zhang Jinzhong got off the bus and followed Wang Wenruo into the Tongzi Tower, it was already nine o'clock in the evening. Because it was night, there were few people in the corridor and the lights were dim. This made Zhang Jinzhong start to beat drums. However, thinking of
He had already received 20,000 yuan, so he didn't think much about it. After all, Wang Wenruo still had something to ask of him, and it was impossible to do anything to him. Moreover, he was still a lawyer, and not everyone wanted to offend a lawyer.
.
Just when Zhang Jinzhong asked Wang Wenruo where his home was, Wang Wenruo, who was walking in front, suddenly turned around, took out a stick from nowhere, and hit him on the head. Zhang Jinzhong was not prepared at all, and was hit directly by the stick.
He fainted, and when he woke up again, he found that his hands and feet were tied with ropes, and he was locked in a small, dimly lit room, and none of his belongings were with him.
When he woke up, he saw the back of a man through the dim light. This man was none other than Wang Wenruo, who had previously approached him to represent him in a lawsuit.
After Zhang Jinzhong saw Wang Wenruo, he immediately asked Wang Wenruo why he did this. Did he know that he was committing a crime by doing this? As a lawyer, he would definitely prosecute him and send him to prison. However, Wang Wenruo was in front of him.
In response to Zhang Jinzhong's questioning, he just smiled and said nothing. He walked up to Zhang Jinzhong with a sharp kitchen knife in his hand and pressed his rope-tied hands on the dirty floor without saying a word.
He said, raised the kitchen knife and slashed at his right hand.
"ah......"
As Zhang Jinzhong screamed, his right hand was cut off from the wrist by Wang Wenruo. Warm blood spurted out, not only on Wang Wenruo's face and body, but also on Zhang Jinzhong himself.
Under the severe pain, Zhang Jinzhong wailed several times and then passed out.
When he woke up again due to pain, he found that his left hand was tightly tied to an iron pipe with an iron wire, and his right hand was wrapped with a thick layer of gauze. The white gauze had already been soaked with blood.
It was dyed red and turned into red gauze. Zhang Jinzhong could not help but cry out in pain as he felt a sharp pain in his wrist.
At this time, Zhang Jinzhong discovered that the man who claimed to be Wang Wenruo was sitting not far from him. There was a table in front of Wang Wenruo, with a glass jar placed on the table. With the faint light in the room, he was
In the glass jar, he saw that in addition to liquid, there was also a human hand soaked in it. He was very familiar with that human hand because it was his own right hand.
Zhang Jinzhong's painful wailing caught Wang Wenruo's attention. He slowly turned his head and looked at Zhang Jinzhong. He smiled slightly, showing his yellowed teeth. Then he turned his head, put on a pair of gloves, opened the glass jar, and put Zhang Jinzhong into the glass jar from the inside.
He took out his right hand, took out a knife in front of Zhang Jinzhong, and began to carefully peel the five fingers of that hand.
When Zhang Jinzhong told this point, his body trembled involuntarily, his originally pale face became even paler, and his eyes showed deep fear. Obviously, even if he has escaped from danger now,
Thinking of that scene, he still felt deeply frightened.
When Xu Lang saw this, he couldn't help but take a breath. Although he did not witness the scene with his own eyes, Xu Lang could imagine witnessing the murderer soaking his right hand in a small and dark room.
In a glass jar, and in front of me, holding a knife and peeling off the skin on the fingertips of my right hand bit by bit, like carving a work of art, this scene is so breathtaking when I think about it.
Everyone is afraid of death, especially when facing death, they will feel deep fear and fear. However, when the fear reaches the extreme, they are not so afraid anymore. As soon as they close their eyes, they wait for the other party to slash them, and then they will die.
After death, when a person is dead, he can't feel anything, and naturally he is not so scared. However, the situation that Zhang Jinzhong faced at that time was not like this. The other party first chopped off one of his hands, and then took the chopped off hand.
Being soaked in an unknown liquid, holding a knife in front of oneself, with a hand that no longer belongs to oneself, is like carving a work of art or chopping vegetables, and everyone will feel scared.
After Zhang Jinzhong saw this scene, he didn't even dare to whimper or even moan. He endured the pain in his heart and turned his head away from looking at this horrifying scene.
Although he didn't look at it, the sound of the other party's knife cutting through the skin tissue was so harsh in this small room. In addition to being filled with fear, his heart was also filled with fear. He didn't know if Wang Wenruo would accept it.
How will you be treated when you come down?
For himself, he thought of a kind of punishment in ancient times, that was Ling Chi. Would this silent executioner take that knife and cut himself alive one by one?
Thinking of this, Zhang Jinzhong became more and more frightened, and he began to beg for mercy from Wang Wenruo, begging him to let him go.
However, no matter what Wang Wenruo said, no matter how much he cried and begged with a trembling and hoarse voice, the other party was like a deaf and mute, just concentrating on peeling off the skin and ignoring Zhang Jinzhong.
Faced with this situation, Zhang Jinzhong became more and more frightened. He was extremely frightened, especially when he saw that the other party had finished treating the skin of the five fingers, then took out the salt and began to pickle his hand.
At that time, Zhang Jinzhong finally collapsed and fainted.
Zhang Jinzhong didn't know how long he was unconscious, but it was a few minutes, maybe a few hours, maybe a few days. When he woke up again, he found that the man was no longer in the room, only himself.
There was also the weak light, the strong smell of blood, and other unpleasant smells in the room. This made him, who was used to living a petty bourgeoisie life and cared very much about the sanitary environment, unable to stand the smell and smell.
The environment, however, was not the worst. The worst problem was that the wound on his missing right hand was itchy and painful, making his heart feel as if there were twenty-five rats with hundreds of claws scratching his heart.
In addition, what makes him even more uneasy and frightened is that he doesn't know what he will face next, and what will that man do to him? Before, the other party cut off his right hand and performed such a perverted act.
Next, would he cut off his left hand and then his feet, making himself a disabled person? He didn't know and couldn't imagine it.
He started shouting, hoping that the other party would let him go. He started shouting and praying for the other party, but it seemed that the man was no longer here. Zhang Jinzhong was tired of shouting. He was despairing and began to curse the other party again. What dirty words?
He cursed obscenely, but the other party still didn't show up, so he began to pray for the other party to give him a happy life and kill him with a knife, but the other party still didn't show up.
Tired of shouting, Zhang Jinzhong was also hungry. He didn't know how long he had stayed in that small room. He just felt like a fire in his stomach, which was very uncomfortable. Coupled with the pain of the wound, he collapsed several times. His
He began to feel trance-like and often fell into coma.
He didn't know how many times he had been unconscious. When he opened his eyes again, he smelled the aroma of food, and then he saw a large bowl placed not far away from him.
There were white flowers inside, and very plump white rice. There were dishes on top of the rice. Seeing this, he immediately crawled towards the food. However, he only crawled a few steps, and his body could not move, because
, his left hand was still tied with wire, and although his right hand was not tied, the pain made him sweat like rain.
Just when he was thinking about how to untie the iron wire and go to eat, Wang Wenruo appeared again and untied the iron wire.
At this moment, the first thing Zhang Jinzhong thought about was not to run away or to pray for the other party to let him go. Instead, he desperately threw himself in front of the food, picked up the chopsticks with his left hand, and went to pick up the food. However, he was a right-handed man.
The left hand didn't know how to use chopsticks with his left hand. He held the chopsticks with his left hand and picked it up several times. The food fell to the ground. He put down the chopsticks directly, stretched out his dirty left hand, grabbed the food and fed it into his mouth.
When he went in, all he was thinking about was how to fill his stomach, while Wang Wenruo stood aside and watched all this with cold eyes.
After Zhang Jinzhong had eaten and drank enough, Wang Wenruo looked at Zhang Jinzhong deeply for a long time, showed an evil smile, turned around and left the room without saying a word to Zhang Jinzhong.
From then on, Wang Wenruo would come over every day and bring Zhang Jinzhong a meal. During this time, Zhang Jinzhong had gradually learned to use chopsticks with his left hand. However, he was still very scared and confused. He had once
When Wang Wenruo was delivering food to him, he asked the other party who he was, why he did this, and what he had done wrong. He begged the other party to let him go, begged the other party to kill him, and even cursed the other party. However, Wang Wenruo did nothing.
He said, just looking at himself sadly, and then left.
In this way, Zhang Jinzhong survived on that bowl of food every day. His feet were tied at first. Later, he untied the rope with one hand. But when he moved around the room, he was untying the rope.
After untying the rope on his feet, he rushed to the door immediately and wanted to escape. However, the door to the room was locked from the outside. No matter how hard he tried or how hard he kicked, the door would not open. This made him very frustrated.
of despair.
During this period of time, he ate, drank, and defecated in this small room. The smell of blood, urine, sweat, and rot mixed together, making the smell in the room very unpleasant and the air very foul.
Dirty.
Zhang Jinzhong was desperate. He wanted to escape, but the room only had one exit, the door, and it was locked. Even if he wanted to leave, he couldn't. He also wanted to take advantage of the other party to give him food.
When he was carrying something, he fought to the death with the opponent. He thought so and did so. However, he failed and the opponent immediately knocked him to the ground.
Originally, he thought that he would definitely die, but the other party did not kill him, but let him go, and still brought him food every day, raising him like an animal, until two days ago, when the food delivery arrived
At that time, the other party did not come, which made Zhang Jinzhong very confused.
