Evil Emperor Zun

Chapter 1587 The Man in the Picture

"This is generally stipulated in the law," the lawyer explained, "for those who actively compensate the victim's economic losses and obtain an understanding, the basic penalty can be reduced by comprehensively considering the nature of the crime, the amount of compensation, the ability to make compensation, and the degree of remorse. less than 40% of the

"Positive compensation, but no understanding can be reduced by less than 30% of the base penalty; although there is no compensation but an understanding is obtained, the base penalty can be reduced by less than 20%."

"Now the attitude of the victim's family is that they neither accept compensation nor apology, in exchange for your heavy sentence."

Sheng Zeqi's face turned even paler: "Then I..."

"Okay, don't think too much about it." The lawyer didn't want these things to affect his mood, so he comforted him, "Sheng will always solve these things, and you should do what you should do."

"I discussed with Mr. Sheng that I plan to arrange an interview for you in the near future. You will be in front of the camera and say what we have rehearsed. Mr. Sheng will work hard to operate, use the power of the media, and carry out information bombardment. In order to achieve the stigmatization of victims and win mass support for you."

"Manipulating public opinion is actually very simple. The group of people who can easily get excited about one thing, just push him a little, and they can easily get excited about another thing. Although this trick deceives But the county magistrate, but when handling cases, sometimes you have to follow the will of the magistrate."

"In addition, I heard from Mr. Sheng that you can draw, right?" The lawyer added, "Before the interview, you can draw a few more pictures with the theme of expressing apology to the victim's family. Publish it along with the report."

"A good painting is often able to touch people's hearts. As long as you can convey beauty, love and warmth in the painting, people will also believe that the person who can paint such a beautiful painting is not too much in nature. bad."

"A young man like you with good looks, family background, and talent could have a bright future, but unfortunately, he fell in love with the wrong person... the public will also feel sorry for you."

"Besides, on your head, it's better to get some injuries." The lawyer looked him up and down again, "You can 'look' better when you're on camera, understand what I mean?"

Sheng Zeqi had a face full of "what the hell is it that looks good on camera?" Seeing this, the lawyer dutifully explained: "First of all, at least it shouldn't make people think that you have a good time here, right? Then I and Mr. Sheng intends to design such a route for you—"

"During your detention, you thought a lot. Thinking of the family you hurt, you suffered, blamed yourself, felt ashamed, so you thought of death... You are willing to use your life to make up for it! How sincere is your attitude of repentance! Don't underestimate this, this remorse attitude is also a very important part in sentencing."

Sheng Zeqi finally understood, and he uttered three words with a half-smile: "Bitter tricks?"

"The old man agrees too?"

The lawyer nodded: "Mr. Sheng said that those who can achieve great things must learn to be ruthless. Be ruthless to others, and even more ruthless to yourself. If you suffer a little now, you may be able to reduce your sentence by two or three years. Your two or three years of freedom!"

……

A few days before the interview, Sheng Zeqi started painting with all his might.

He did draw a lot of beautiful paintings, interpreting family affection, love, and friendship. The images of the people in the paintings are so lovely, conveying beauty and kindness.

But looking at these finished products, Sheng Zeqi was suddenly at a loss.

Paintings are warm...but the people who painted these paintings had a life on their hands.For a moment, he couldn't tell which one was the real self, the most gentle painter, or the coldest murderer.

……

"Who will really love me?"

The question flashed through his mind as he collapsed in a fit of dizziness and excruciating pain.

"The old man and the lawyer taught me how to play hard tricks. The prisoners around me were all watching my jokes, and everyone outside was yelling at me..."

"In this world, is there anyone who will really love me..."

……

When he put the blood-oozing gauze on his forehead, faced the camera, and made a tearful confession, he indeed gained a large number of sympathizers from the outside world.

These days, there are still many people who "follow the five senses in three views", and many people forgive him just by seeing his face.

……

The day before the trial, the lawyer came to see him again.

"Tomorrow... how will the sentence be?" At the last moment, Sheng Zeqi lost all his past arrogance. He was restless and sweaty, "At least a few years, at most a few years?"

"What's the matter?" Seeing this "little hedgehog" for the first time, releasing his fragility unreservedly in front of him, the lawyer also found it fresh, "Are you scared?"

Sheng Zeqi didn't hide it this time, and nodded honestly: "One thing...don't tell the old man."

"When I think that my own destiny will be determined by others, I... feel very annoying and uncomfortable. The environment here is poor, and I can't sleep well every night, and I will think wildly if I don't sleep well. I think that if I really Yes... I was sentenced for many, many years before going out. Now that the times are developing so fast, will the world be different when I go out? Can I still adapt? Then my life is over? Just... yes think a lot."

The most common sentence he said was, "I want to go home... I especially want to go home early."

"Will you help me...? You must help me... Now only you can help me!" He would keep asking for help, and he would be incoherent while talking.

The lawyer made a soothing gesture, signaling him to calm down first.

"At least a few years, at most a few years. I can't guarantee you this right now, but I can tell you that every time we lawyers go to court, it's like going to the battlefield. Our mission is to strive for the best interests of the client. Tomorrow, I will fight this battle with you."

"There are still some things, maybe I shouldn't say more, but Mr. Sheng still really cares about your son. During this time, he has also run around and done a lot for you. After going out... I still treat him Be better."

Mr. Sheng has promised that as long as he can finish this lawsuit well, he will be hired as the chief legal counsel of Shengyuan Group and take charge of the entire Shengyuan lawyer team.With such generous treatment, it is naturally worthwhile for him to say a few more good words for his future boss.

On the day of the trial, Sheng Zeqi saw his father again.

When he was escorted into the field by the police, his father was still chasing the escort team and shouting at him.

"Ah Qi, don't be afraid, Dad has already taken care of everything. When the court asks you something, you can answer it well. It will be fine, don't be afraid, don't be afraid!"

Sitting in the courtroom, he watched the changing situation in the courtroom with cold eyes, and felt strong irony again.

It turns out that this is what you call getting everything in order.

That's all you can do.

The lawsuit should have gone smoothly, and the defense played very well, although many people scolded them for losing their conscience for money.

As for the verdict... Judging from the moment the verdict was pronounced, some of the victim's family group collapsed on the spot, and some jumped and cursed, it was indeed a result worthy of celebration for the defendant.

Sheng Zeqi saw his father shaking hands with the lawyer with tears in his eyes, and thanked him for his efforts.He felt ironic, it turns out that such a result can satisfy you.

With the popularity of this case, the lawyer became famous for a while, and there were many vicious criminal cases in succession, and the families of the suspects were willing to spend a lot of money to ask him to help with the lawsuit.

He is the real winner.

After the verdict was over, Sheng Zeqi followed the police and left without looking back, never seeing his father again.

Memories intertwined in a trance, and a dim light hit his eyes, pulling him back to reality.

Looking at the dark cell in front of him, Sheng Zeqi smiled wryly.

In the end, your abilities are limited.

Then why did you draw such a big pie for me at the beginning, making me think that you are really omnipotent?

……

In the morning training, Yue Xiangyang still said it when he reported to the jailer, but Sheng Zeqi felt uncomfortable.

If you don't come, you won't come. This is too provocative.Sheng Zeqi dared to speak, but he dared not tell.

But the jailer really had a look of "I understand".After Sheng Zeqi was imprisoned, he was basically in two states. Either he was paralyzed in a corner half dead, or he was irritated and fought with others. Naturally, half dead would be more worry-free.

"Hey, this kid is being lazy again, and it will be our turn to do the work he doesn't do." Some prisoners began to whisper in the line.

"Who told him to be a related household? The privileged class is just different from us." Another prisoner is used to it, "You don't have to say a few words, last time a new jailer choked on him, it didn't take long was called away."

Everyone laughed and chatted a few words, and then they got busy.

……

The thin morning light flows obliquely, through the iron bars, and pours on Sheng Zeqi's just-finished painting paper.

The girl in the painting has long light pink hair, long eyelashes, big eyes, and a pair of blue eyes as bright as stars.It's just these few strokes, and it can be seen that she is a beauty.

But all he could draw was this outline, and the rest, he could never draw again.

Looking at the girl in the painting, Sheng Zeqi fell into deep thought.

"who are you?"
