No matter what Wang Ruoyi said, as a defense lawyer, Zhang Mei would appeal, although she herself had no confidence in this.
Wang Ruoyi is almost certain to die. If no new material that can affect the verdict emerges, the chances of the High Court upholding the original verdict are very high.
In other words, if Zhang Mei does not withdraw now, she will face the same outcome during the trial in the High Court. In fact, if Zhang Mei continues to stay in the case at this point, it will only be a waste of her time.
What is Zhang Mei insisting on? Bai Song doesn't know.
From Bai Song's perspective, it is difficult for him to say how he hopes the court will rule. After all, Wang Ruoyi committed the crime first, and this is not something Bai Song should consider. As a police officer, Bai Song should grasp every piece of evidence of illegality as possible.
Moreover, even Zhao Xinqiao, who is "opposed" to Bai Song, still supports Bai Song in finding all the evidence of Wang Ruoyi's crimes. As for how the court will make a determination, that is another matter.
Speaking of this, many people don’t understand what suspended death sentence means.
Death penalty with a two-year reprieve.
This means a two-year probation period for the death penalty. During this two-year period, the criminal's performance is observed.
If the criminal behaves well within two years, his sentence will be commuted to life imprisonment after two years.
If a person continues to commit crimes in prison within two years, he may be re-sentenced to death and executed immediately.
During these two years, most criminals must have been very well behaved, so a suspended death sentence basically means:
Won't die.
Therefore, suspended death sentence and immediate execution are two completely different things.
When Wang Ruoyi heard that the sentence of immediate execution had not changed, Sun Xiaoruo really collapsed.
How many people understand Sun Xiaoruo’s current situation?
There is no such thing as empathy in this world. In such a catastrophic situation, who can understand her pain without putting themselves in her shoes? Such a perfect family is not only falling apart, but it is the end of the world. No, maybe the end of the world is better than this, at least everyone can die together.
As an intellectual, Sun Xiaoruo was like a child who had lost his home at this moment. He hugged Zhang Mei and didn't say a word.
We cannot listen to Wang Ruoyi on this matter, even if there is still a glimmer of hope, even if... it is just to delay this time for a few months.
After the first trial, Zhang Mei wrote an appeal application and handed it to Sun Xiaoruo. Then, Zhang Mei bought a ticket and prepared to return to Shangjing City.
What made Bai Song happiest was that Zhao Xinqiao was not in a hurry to accompany his tutor back to school, but accepted Bai Song's invitation and stayed here for another day before leaving.
To be honest, Bai Song was just being polite... He really didn't think Zhao Xinqiao would really stay, so when Zhao Xinqiao said, "Okay, it just so happens that I haven't been to Tianhua City...", Bai Song subconsciously said, "Ah..."
Fortunately, Bai Song reacted very quickly and agreed immediately.
Reviewing for an exam? Take it slow first...
Following Zhao Xinqiao's advice, Bai Song took her to two more famous universities in Tianhua City, one of which was the alma mater of a founding father of the country, and had a strong academic atmosphere.
The two of them walked around the campus, attracting a lot of attention. Maybe it was because they were too handsome? Bai Song touched his face, feeling a little embarrassed.
…
"You seem a little sad." As Bai Song walked, he somewhat understood why Zhao Xinqiao was not in a hurry to return to Shangjing City. Maybe he really had something on his mind.
"Yeah." Zhao Xinqiao responded softly: "I always feel a little uncomfortable."
"Is it because of whom? Sun Xiaoruo?" Bai Song seemed to understand something, but felt something was wrong.
"Maybe." Zhao Xinqiao thought for a moment and suddenly said, "Do you believe that Wang Ruoyi will not die?"
"Hmm? You mean..."
Bai Song didn't finish his words, Zhao Xinqiao nodded again, and the two continued walking in silence.
Bai Song understood that the person Zhao Xinqiao was sad about was not Sun Xiaoruo. As a person who studied law, she had seen a lot of joys and sorrows, and the person she was sad about was precisely Wang Qianyi.
If there is a kind of criminal suspect called a seasoned veteran, then Wang Qianyi must be one of the best. It is almost impossible for a person like Wang Qianyi to obtain criminal clues that the public security organs do not have through interrogation. However, he took the initiative to confess the clues that his daughter had mentioned even in a few words in order to make merit for his daughter.
Wang Qianyi has been engaged in smuggling for more than ten years. What crimes did he commit during the most primitive period of capital accumulation? Nowadays, some things have really been covered up by the long river of time, but if Wang Qianyi really had a big case, once Wang Ruoyi pointed out this case and the public security organs verified it, it is very likely that Wang Ruoyi would be considered to have made a major contribution...
In other words, Wang Ruoyi might be sentenced to suspended death sentence, but...
Maybe, this is also the father?
"Wang Ruoyi won't say a word. If she doesn't take the initiative to confess about Wang Qianyi, there's no point in talking about it." Bai Song said.
"That's right, but with my mentor and Sun Xiaoruo..."
Bai Song understood, but he didn't say anything. In Bai Song's opinion, how Wang Ruoyi judged was not important. He was a little curious about what Wang Qianyi had done. Some darkness covered by the long river of time might see the light of day in a different way.
But maybe this is what parents do.
"Let's not talk about this anymore," Zhao Xinqiao said, getting more and more sad. "How are you preparing for the judicial examination? What will you do after you pass it?"
"I'm not well prepared. After watching the court trials these days, I found that I still have a lot of deficiencies in criminal procedure law. If I pass the exam by chance, I plan to continue self-study. Learning never ends." Bai Song looked at Zhao Xinqiao: "I can't let you treat me as an illiterate one day."
"Huh?" Zhao Xinqiao laughed, "Illiterate? If you are illiterate, then so am I. But if you pass, you have to treat me to a meal."
Bai Song smiled and said, "I'm honored."
"poor."
"Okay, how about we go watch a movie later?" When he said this, Bai Song's heartbeat quickened. He had never watched a movie with a girl before...
"Okay, there's a new movie coming out soon, let's go together." Zhao Xinqiao agreed readily.
"Okay, what movie?" Bai Song asked as he took out his cell phone and prepared to book tickets.
"THE JUGGLER", Zhao Xinqiao smiled with relaxed brows.
"Liar?" Bai Song actually searched for it and scratched the back of his head: "This movie is not showing, why watch it? You might as well go watch The Expendables 2, which just came out and I've always wanted to go."
"Of course." Zhao Xinqiao looked at Bai Song's embarrassed look and couldn't help laughing: "But your English level has improved."
Zhong Ming is a professional.
