Evil Emperor Zun

Chapter 1586 Defense
When Sheng Jueyuan bribed his relationship and went to visit his son while he was in custody, Sheng Zeqi still sat in front of him as if he was an old god, but his words were full of thorns.

"I'm still embarrassed, I'm not happy! Treat yourself as something, reject me again and again, she should agree to me sooner, so there will be no such trouble?"

"You're still talking like that!" Sheng Jueyuan slapped his hands anxiously, but as soon as he met his son's provocative eyes, thinking that even if he hit him again now, the problem would not be solved, he sat back in his original position resentfully, and He hurriedly warned, "When it comes to the court, you must not say that..."

Sheng Zeqi sneered, moved his raised right foot off his left knee, sat up straight, and met his father's eyes.

"So now I can only pretend to be a grandson, right? Didn't you teach me from a young age to make more useful friends, who can be used at critical times? Then what about your useful friends now? Shout out to help me Ah! After getting involved in this matter, they all ran away, right? How much face do you really think you have?"

"Don't worry, I'm not that stupid." When Sheng Jueyuan was almost confused by his overwhelming complaints, Sheng Zeqi had already stood up, unilaterally marking the end of this short visit, " When the time comes, I will honestly apologize to the county magistrate and the group of reporters, and promise to be as sincere as possible! You can’t help me, so I can only help myself.”

Before leaving, he glanced coldly at his father and left another sentence.

"Do you think you are a failure? I think you are a failure."

"Ah Qi..." Looking at his son's thinner back, Sheng Jueyuan was heartbroken and remorseful, seized the last moment, and shouted to him hastily, "I promise you, I will never give up on you Yes! Don't give up on yourself either! Dad will definitely do everything he can to help you!"

Sheng Zeqi's footsteps paused, he turned his head, and took in his father's eyes at this moment.

What kind of look is that... It's the first time that he, the big boss who dominates the mall and plans strategies, looks so helpless.Tears flickered in his eyes, he felt sorry for his son's future fate, and he also resented himself, why he didn't teach his son well early in the morning, why he didn't have the ability to help him when things came to an end; understanding and forgiveness.

That look is complicated and sad, but it is the look of the weak.

Sheng Zeqi suddenly found it ridiculous.For many years to come, every time he thinks of that look, he finds it ridiculous.

The strong dominate the fate of others, and only the weak need to beg for mercy from others for their own destiny.

You could have continued to be my sheltering father, allowing me to enjoy shelter under your wing...but you couldn't.You can't beg those law enforcement officers, now you can only come to me to forgive you.

To put it bluntly, if it wasn't for incompetence, why would you need to have that look in your eyes?But now your incompetence requires me to bear the price...

Sheng Zeqi still remembered very clearly that before his father came to visit, his image in his heart was still stalwart.So even though he was detained for trial, he was still very calm. He thought that this time it would be the same as before, the matter would be resolved soon, and his father would settle everything for him.But gradually, he realized that something was wrong.

The police guarded themselves very strictly, as if they were treating a real prisoner.He asked them several times when he could go home, but they didn't give a clear answer.

The prisoners who were detained for the same period talked about when their respective cases would be tried, and they also regarded themselves as one of them.And the detectives on duty were even talking about his sentence... All these signs made him start to be afraid. He felt that the situation seemed out of control, and he was worried that his familiar life would be overturned...

That day, he lowered his posture for the first time, and humbly asked the policeman for mercy.

"Help me...I don't want to go to jail..."

"I know I was wrong, I really know I was wrong! I don't dare to do it again next time, please..."

"Our family can lose money!" As if grasping a glimmer of hope, he began to plead more enthusiastically, "My father will pay for how much money it takes to solve it!"

"It's useless for you to tell me these words." The policeman said with a businesslike attitude, "Let me tell you the truth, in your situation, you must be sentenced, and the rest is the question of more sentences and less sentences." You don't ask me for love, and when the trial starts, go ask the county magistrate."

Sheng Zeqi felt chills all over his body.

Therefore, the so-called "doing everything" by the father can at most save him a few years of sentence, at most it can make him live better in prison in the future... What's the use of this?
I count on him wholeheartedly, but in the end, he can't help me.

So when his father came to visit, Sheng Zeqi always looked at him with the eyes of "you are really useless".

You have no ability to fish me out directly...you can only watch me suffer in prison...

Why don't you have the ability to fish me out...

Because you are incompetent...

You are so incompetent.

Sheng Zeqi was very resistant to his father's attitude. In addition to his resentment for his incompetence, perhaps he also vented part of his fear of going to jail on his father.

He is also in a conflicted mood now.On the one hand, he really wanted to hold this only relative and cry, begging him to save himself, begging him to take him home.But when he thought about it again, the consequences of this incident were beyond his ability, and his crying and pleading could not change anything, and his heart became cold again.

It's like falling into a dark ice abyss, but no one can help me.He could only sink deeper and deeper... So subconsciously, he blocked himself layer by layer with indifference to protect his fragile heart.

After that day, his father tried to visit him several times, but he refused to see him.

Later, my father stopped coming.He hired a lawyer for himself, and asked the lawyer to meet in his place.

At the beginning, Sheng Zeqi's attitude was still sharp and arrogant.

"Aren't you capable? Didn't you get a lot of money from the old man? If you can acquit me of this case, I will cooperate with you."

However, that lawyer did have some skills, especially eloquent. After several exchanges, Sheng Zeqi really accepted him and began to be willing to talk to him about some things. That was something he had never done before when facing his father. honesty.

"Our time is limited." After gaining the trust of the client, the lawyer went straight to the point. "From now on, you need to tell the story from beginning to end, every detail, including your mental state in each period, to do this. Tell me what you think when you are here, so that I can help you better."

Sheng Zeqi was a little unhappy again: "I have to tell you what I think?"

"Of course you have to tell me." The lawyer said eloquently, "What have you thought about? This involves your motive for committing the crime. Let me give you a brief explanation first. The criminal motive defined by law refers to stimulating and prompting fz The inner cause or thought activity of a person implementing fz behavior, which answers the psychological reasons fz people implement fz behavior based on, so the role of motivation is to initiate fz behavior; it explains the significance of implementing fz behavior to the perpetrator's psychological desire."

"Depending on the nature of fz's motives, the subjective viciousness reflected is also very different. What we need to do in defense is to weaken the subjective viciousness to the greatest extent on the basis of your factual behavior and strive for a lighter sentence for you."

"In addition, let me emphasize again, whether it is good or bad, you must tell the truth now, and you must not hide anything. Because you let me know first, we can dig out the things that may be unfavorable to you. But if you don't say it, once the relevant evidence is presented in court and we can't produce favorable counter-evidence, the situation will be very unfavorable to you, do you understand?"

"You don't have to hide it by chance. Now that you are my client, all I have to do is to fight for your best interests. So no matter how serious the crime you committed is, or how bad your real subjective viciousness is, These have nothing to do with me, and I will not accuse you. We are in the same boat and have the same interests. If you are honest with me now, you are responsible to yourself."

Sheng Zeqi was silent for a long time, as if digesting these words.

Perhaps, he really needs a reliance too much now, and he has already transferred his reliance on his father to this lawyer.

Finally, he raised his head and spoke slowly.

"In the beginning, I saw her in a dance competition in our college. She danced a pas de deux with her classmates. At that time, I thought, um, it was a beautiful dance..."

He began to narrate in detail. When he was speaking, the lawyer sitting opposite would always nod appropriately, indicating that he was listening carefully.

"You said you already transferred money to her, right?" On the way, the lawyer sensitively captured a detail, "How much did you transfer in total?"

"I don't remember." Sheng Zeqi thought for a while after answering, "But it has been transferred many times, and the amount should be quite a lot. You can go to the bank to apply for transferring the bill, and the transfer records are all there."

The lawyer nodded, looking excited when he came back next time.

"Through your bank records, you can see that you have transferred money to the victim's account many times, but there is no entry record from the other party's account. In other words, she has never returned the money to you, has it?"

Sheng Zeqi nodded. These things were mentioned last time: "Well, it's because I told her..."

The lawyer waved his hand suddenly: "Now you haven't told her. You haven't told her anything. She is willing to accept the money."

Sheng Zeqi raised his eyebrows: "I don't understand."

"Look at these first. They're some materials I've collected recently." The lawyer handed him a stack of typed documents, and Sheng Zeqi took them over to read them. They were all old news about how the insatiable materialistic woman was. Squeeze out the suitor's money, causing the suitor to end up empty-handed and so on.

"The situation between me and her is different from this." Sheng Zeqi glanced at it for a while, and put down the document with little interest.

"It's different, but only the two of us know it's different." The lawyer tried to persuade, "As long as other people think that you are in the same situation as these people...the public opinion will immediately lean towards you to a certain extent !"

"It is human nature to be used to sympathizing with the weak. Now that the victim is dead, she is weak. But what if she had lied to you recklessly before, and made fun of you?"

"You are an infatuated suitor, and she is a materialistic woman, a liar! She hangs your feelings, accepts your money and gifts, but never gives you a clear answer! When you When you want to have a good talk with her, she speaks bad words to you! At this moment, tragedy happens..."

"The defense strategy I came up with was to portray you as an emotional victim. In this way, you become weak, and people will think that you are also excusable!"

"The relationship between you and her is like a balance. If she is pure and flawless, you will be full of crimes, but if you let people know that it was her fault first, the crimes on you will be much lighter..."

"Let's take a good look at these materials and experience the mentality of this desperate pursuer."

Sheng Zeqi remained silent again, as if he was considering whether to accept such a defense strategy.

"But...these are just a bunch of trash." The full of misery only made him feel ridiculous, "I made myself half dead for a woman, you want me to make myself into this trash?"

"Yeah, they're just a bunch of trash." The lawyer moved closer to him, inducing him, "But if you can make these trash's emotional tragedies make some contributions to you, that's the realization of their humble existence value. "

Such a statement is obviously able to satisfy Sheng's appetite.In the end, he picked up the stack of materials and began to read them slowly.

In the next period of time, the lawyer will teach him in detail how to say in court, how to make good use of those that are beneficial to him, and how to beautify those that are not good for him. Everything seems to be going according to the path they planned.

Another day, when the lawyer came to see him, his brows were slightly frowned, as if something was on his mind.

Sheng Zeqi was used to judging from his expression whether he brought him good news or bad news.At this time, he only felt a slight sinking in his heart.

"Something went wrong." The lawyer said, "Mr. Sheng has been working hard to work with the families of the victims recently, and I hope they can issue you a letter of criminal understanding so that the county magistrate can give you a lighter sentence, but... …the attitude of the victim’s family is very strong and they will not let go.”

Seeing his expression, Sheng Zeqi also became nervous: "Then...then what should I do? If I can't get the letter of understanding, will it have a big impact on the judgment?"

After so many days, he once again experienced the feeling that the situation was out of control, which made him sit on pins and needles.
