Spring has passed and autumn has come, and it has been three seasons in a blink of an eye. The first trial of Xiangbei case has gone through a long process. Three months later, the first trial result finally came out. For Xiangbei, it is both expected and unexpected.

As expected, he lost the case. Although Xiangbei had 10,000 questions about this, the verdict was flawless in terms of the evidence chain. Unexpectedly, Xiangbei did not expect that he would be in prison, and it was four years without a delay!

Xiangbei didn't know how to evaluate the performance of lawyer Wang Youqian. During every trial, Wang Youqian seemed to have always fought this bad battle with a negative attitude.

However, Wang Youqian has his own explanation: "Our defense should be targeted. If the other party has sufficient evidence, we should not confront it head-on. All I can do is to refute those litigation with loopholes and try to minimize the final trial result."

Whether Wang Youqian played his due role in the trial as he said, and Xiangbei could not judge. Perhaps, without his defense, the verdict would be even more disappointing.

However, Xiangbei still couldn't accept this result. In his opinion, not to mention four years, even four months would be a disaster.

Everyone can only go through one journey in this world, but they have to suffer injustice for no reason at the most critical stage of life. And those who deserve punishment are free and easy, and can even continue to rise to the top in the workplace. Is there no axiom in this world?

After the trial, Wang Youqian met Xiangbei for the last time. He advised Xiangbei to accept the result. Even if he appealed, it would be difficult for the second instance to reverse without strong evidence. Even if there was a second instance, he decided not to serve as an attorney. As for the reason, in Wang Youqian's own words, "This lawsuit is too difficult and cannot be beaten!"

"No matter what, thank you, Lawyer Wang." The two met for the last time in the meeting room of the detention center.

"It should be, don't be polite," Wang Youqian glanced around the meeting room. "I guess you won't stay here for too long. According to the law, you should be transferred to prison soon. Life there is still different from here. Prepare enough daily necessities, adjust your mindset, and accept the transformation."

Xiangbei is very grateful to Wang Youqian. Not to mention the person's defense level in court, at least he cares about himself and cares about his life. From the perspective of being a prison life consultant, this person is obviously qualified.

"Thank you, Lawyer Wang. Do you think you still need to appeal the second instance?" Xiangbei wanted to ask for his opinion.

"How to say it? This is the right given to every citizen by the law. If you have the determination and desire to appeal, you can do it. However, I personally think it is meaningless and I can't see hope." Wang Youqian was very frank. He still has many cases to accept, and those cases can be obtained both fame and fortune, and the risks are low, and the cost-effectiveness is far higher than this.

Lawyers accept cases like investment and financial management, with a guaranteed capital type, a stable type, and an investment type. The risk is proportional to returns. However, there are many exceptions, such as Xiangbei's case: the risk is inversely proportional to returns. Wang Youqian feels that being able to take such cases is already considered to be learning from Lei Feng to do good deeds.

Wang Youqian's words made Xiangbei feel a little irrational. After all, they are professionals, and professionals should believe what he said when doing professional things.

Xiangbei felt that he needed to accept the facts in front of him and make good reforms in prison. He looked at Wang Youqian with a smile on his face. He couldn't find any final words when he was leaving. Forget it, let's be silent.

After Xiangbei returned to the detention center, he maintained this silence, and this state lasted for a day. He lay in bed, not moving or closing his eyes. His life in prison was indeed a bit depressing. He couldn't find a few people to chat and talk, but it was not useless, at least he didn't have the pressure of work. He felt that his brain seemed much easier than before, and the little tumor in his head no longer worked from time to time. With this, the benefits of prison are really worth reading.

That collection of poems - "The Poems of the Index Finger", lying on the pillow like the Bible. It appears northward. In addition to the time, this book actually has another function: chicken soup for the soul. Because this book can purify your six senses, be neither sad nor happy, and accept all the results with pleasure. It's so great, I've done this bowl of chicken soup!

He has thought about life in prison for countless times, but after he was really sentenced, he was a little nervous - put on a prison uniform, go out for exercises every day, receive transformation, and workmanship... He should be used to these, after all, his adaptability is quite strong.

According to the law, after the judgment takes effect, it must be transferred from the detention center to the prison for serving the sentence within 15 days.

In the past two weeks, Xiangbei's entire emotional state and diet and daily life have changed significantly. The police in the detention center discovered this and chatted with him from time to time.

"Looking north, I think you've been in a bad mood these days." The instructor of the detention center called him to the office. "Every suspect will have an adaptation process after receiving the verdict. However, you have been in the detention center for eight or nine months. If you perform well in the later stage, you will be able to come out in two or three years. So, adjust your mentality."

"Instructor, I feel wronged."

"Many people have said this to me, and I have said the same thing to them. Please believe in the law."

"I believe in the law, but the law does not believe in me."

"It's not that the law does not believe you, but that you have not given a reason to make the law believe you. Sometimes, the voice of justice also takes time to verify."

Sometimes the voice of justice also requires time to verify... At night, lying on the bed in the cell, Xiangbei repeatedly thought about this sentence. How long will it be like this? One year, ten years, or one hundred years? Xiangbei feels that the word future is like the night before him, and nothing can be seen.

...

Since Xiangbei was detained in the detention center, Zhou Xuecen has been applying for visits, but has not been approved. However, just a few days ago, Zhou Xuecen received the "Conference Notice" and his visitation application was approved. This is really good news.

Of course, there was also bad news in front of her - "Judgment". Zhou Xuecen spent an afternoon carefully reading every word on it, and she could not believe the words at the end: four years in prison.

Four years? What happened? They must have made a mistake, or they made a mistake when printing it. I must go to the court to ask clearly. Zhou Xuechen is a reasonable person, and he thinks that the reason now doesn't make sense!

Zhou Xuecen waited for these two messages for almost a year. When she really received this message, she no longer had any sorrows and joys in her heart, and everything seemed to be natural.

Zhou Xuecen wanted to visit her husband as soon as possible, but she asked He Miaomiao for half a day off. He Miaomiao still agreed readily.

The two sat face to face through a thick layer of glass. It was almost a year since Xiangbei and Zhou Xuecen sat down quietly like this for the first time and looked at each other.

Xiangbei felt that this should be a scene like this: the moment he saw each other, the tears in their eyes could no longer be filled, and big tears fell.

It is indeed very touching. However, for some reason, the moment they saw each other, they did not shed tears, and they didn't even smile. If they had to use one word to describe their expressions, it would be numbness.

Too embarrassing! Too out of the way! It does not meet the basic requirements of film and television dramas.

If a person realizes his wish after life and death, but does not feel excited. There may be only one reason: nothing worse than this life, that's all.

Sometimes, the destruction of time on a person is not necessary to be calculated by time, especially when life encounters major changes. Xiangbei and Zhou Xuecen deeply feel this. In just a few months, both of them were scratched by the sword of time.

At this time, emotions need to be brewing slowly.

"Wife..." Seeing Zhou Xuecen, the heart that was suffering and scared in the north seemed to have a place to rest, but she didn't know how to speak, "Are you doing well?"

"I found a job to see the child. I earn a lot of money from this job, and I don't have to run around, and I can play with the child. The owner's child is also a boy, almost two years old. You don't know that he is as naughty as Nuoyi, which is too worry-free." Zhou Xuecen frowned and sighed when he thought of this naughty ghost who made her happy and angry.

Zhou Xuecen was completely uneasy about playing scripts and playing cards. All the words, some or nothing, were said in a slight way. It was simply a mess of the monk.

Xiangbei was a little confused and didn't know how to respond. Besides, Zhou Xuecen didn't plan to leave any questions for him to respond. Alas, my wife has indeed changed this year, and her emotional intelligence has plummeted.

There was no way, Xiangbei could only listen to her nagging. He could see her changes. His speech was slower than before, and his expression was dull.

"I've made you suffer, my wife. Do less work and take good care of yourself."

Zhou Xuecen shook his head and sighed, "There are so many mortgages per month, and the water and electricity bills are too expensive. I just paid the heating fee not long ago, and it cost me one or two thousand yuan. I feel so sorry for me."

I feel sorry for the heating, water and electricity bills? Xiangbei couldn't believe his ears. The two chatted for five minutes, and Zhou Xuecen never said that he felt sorry for his husband from beginning to end. He was in jail.

"I should still have some savings in my card, about 100,000 yuan, you can use it first. Don't do that nanny's job. How can you do that kind of job?" Xiangbei said with heartache.

"Oh! Fortunately, I came to see you today. I forgot if you didn't say it. There are still more than 100,000 yuan in your place," Zhou Xuecen was overjoyed, "I will check it out when I go back. That money is life-saving money. It's so great. Amitabha, Buddha bless you!"

Xiangbei couldn't understand what Zhou Xuecen was talking about. What life-saving money? What kind of blessings for Buddha? Where is this? Isn't it just a water and electricity bill? As for the excuse, has it become life-saving money? Besides, why did it involve the Buddha? My wife used to be an atheist, and when did she start to believe in religion? Zhou Xuecen is really becoming more and more mysterious as she talks about it.

"Well, you just spend that money." Xiangbei said.

"I can! By the way, you're okay?" Zhou Xuechen finally got to the point.

"Well, I was afraid of being uncomfortable at first. Actually, I was thinking too much, and the environment here is really good. You may not believe that my headache has been cured." Xiangbei was very happy.

"Is that so good? I originally wanted to bring you some medicine. Now that I'm done, I've saved all the money for the medicine, hehe." Zhou Xuecen was also very happy.

"Yeah, I saved it, I saved it." Xiangbei felt something was wrong. Why did this sound very hurtful?

"Husband, this is just the first instance. When I went back, I told Lawyer Wang that we would sue them, and we would go to the Provincial High Court to sue them. If the court cannot win, I would go to the petition. If Beijiang doesn't work, I will go to Beijing. There will always be a place to reason, not." Zhou Xuecen's mood suddenly changed drastically.

"Lawyer Wang has decided not to represent this case anymore." Xiangbei also became disappointed.

"Not acting anymore? He... how could he not act anymore? I feel that I have given less money?" Zhou Xuechen was a little surprised by the news.

"No. Lawyer Wang is right. The verdict is already very good. I admit it," Xiangbei said, "Didn't I say it? Life here is very good. Except for not being able to see you, everything else is very good. There is no work pressure, no need to think about making money all day long, and health is getting better and better."

Xiangbei wanted to give Zhou Xuecen a sufficient reason to make her give up the trouble. He would rather use this pitifully small savings to maintain Zhou Xuecen's life than let her spend money on meaningless appeals.

"Just stay in there, don't worry about anything else," Zhou Xuecen was a little impatient. "You both have the same virtue, which makes me worry. Just talk about Nuoyi. Since I was in my stomach, I have been worried every day whether the child will be disabled, sick, and bullied... I am really worried about him for the rest of my life."

Zhou Xuecen said, tears fell down her face.

No.1 is a topic that two people don’t want to touch. Not touching does not mean they don’t miss it. Even if the scar heals, once it is revealed, it will still be flesh and blood.

But today, the two of them met at the same time, and they needed such an opportunity to leak out.

"Yes, for a lifetime," Xiangbei also touched the tear glands when he heard this word, and tears came out. "I didn't even see his last side. I don't know what he wanted to say to me before closing his eyes."

Thinking of this, Xiangbei could no longer control himself, his eyes were like a reservoir with a drainage, and his nose was full of tears.

"I know, I know," Zhou Xuechen cried, "He couldn't speak, but I could tell that he wanted to call him dad, dad. You promised to buy him an excavator, he wanted that toy. My child, he wanted to hug the toy until he died. Holding the toy, he wouldn't feel uncomfortable when he died."
