Qi Tongwei: Can I be young again?

She burst into tears with a loud "waaaaa".

Heartbreaking.

Zhong Xiaoai gently patted his shoulder.

"Just cry it out."

"Just cry it out."

"It's alright, Tongwei, it's alright, I'm here, I'm here..."

While comforting Qi Tongwei, Zhong Xiaoai waved to Zhao Donglai and the others.

Zhao Donglai dared not delay and quickly left with the spotted tiger.

Even after getting into the police car, the spotted tiger remained unruly.

"Damn it, this Qi Tongwei is like a dog, he bit off a piece of my flesh, I..."

Before he could finish speaking, Wang Hua threw a punch.

This punch was powerful and heavy.

"You motherfucking beast, you should be glad you were born in a peaceful era, otherwise I would definitely kill you."

"Scare me?" After taking a punch, the spotted tiger spat out a mouthful of blood and said disdainfully, "Don't yell at me. Either way, you're going to die. You think I'm afraid of you? You're a cripple! You're just like Qi Tongwei, a cripple. Go ahead and kill me if you dare!"

Wang Hua wanted to make a move, but Zhao Donglai stopped him.

"Brother, he's just trying to provoke you. There's no need to get angry with him. His arrogance now is just to hide his fear. He'll cry when he's eating peanuts."

Upon hearing the words "peanuts," the spotted tiger indeed quieted down.

Zhao Donglai is right.

Killers are human too.

He also fears death. The spotted tiger's constant provocations of Qi Tongwei and Wang Hua are merely a cover for his inner fear.

Wang Hua was aware of this as well.

I just can't control my emotions.

He gave Zhao Donglai a cigarette, then lit one for himself, feeling a tightness in his chest.

"Donglai, do you think the eldest brother can pull through?"

"We have to endure it, even if we can't." Zhao Donglai said helplessly. "Actually, even if we let him kill the spotted tiger, the people we've lost will never come back!"

No matter how much pain there is, it can only be digested slowly.

Time heals all wounds.

Chapter 154 The law cannot yield to illegality.

night.

A dimly lit suburban forest.

Beside Zhong Xiaoai, Qi Tongwei cried loudly for an entire afternoon, his voice becoming completely hoarse and distorted.

Qi Qingshan has passed away.

He was left all alone.

Zhong Xiaoai's eyes reddened. She didn't know how to comfort this big boy, so she could only gently pat his back again and again.

Hopefully, this will alleviate his pain.

……

Fast forward three months later.

Zhao Lichun, Zhao Ruilong, Zhao Xiaohui, Spotted Tiger, Scarface...

These people received the trial they deserved.

But those who are lost will never return.

……

early december.

The air was already slightly cool.

With the help of time, Qi Tongwei returned to his job.

But a careful observer will notice that he has lost a lot of weight and has a lot of gray hair.

Although we still joke around at work, every night is torture.

Therefore, Zhong Xiaoai would call him every night.

This was also his only spiritual solace.

What is a virtuous wife?

Not only did he protect her career, but he also took meticulous care of her in her daily life.

During the period following Qi Qingshan's death, Qi Tongwei was completely disoriented and almost became depressed.

Fortunately, Zhong Xiaoai stepped forward.

Even Qi Qingshan's funeral was arranged by the Zhong family.

Having such a wife.

What more could I ask for?

……

It was just another ordinary afternoon.

At the entrance of the Provincial Procuratorate.

Qi Tongwei, as usual, was smoking a cigarette, while the fat-headed Hou Liangping was carrying two packs of Hongjinling cigarettes, all with a bright smile.

"Senior, I got my bonus this month. I bought you two packs of good cigarettes. Please keep them."

"bribe?"

"No," Hou Liangping said with a smile, "It's just that I got a bonus, and besides, I'm no longer a judicial employee."

"You made a mistake and got fired?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Hou Liangping immediately stopped smiling and said seriously, "I have been officially appointed and have become a real prosecutor."

"Oh, congratulations!"

"Senior, let's not stand on ceremony. I owe everything I have today to your care."

"It has nothing to do with me; it's because you have a high level of awareness."

"No matter how high my awareness is, I can't do without you as my guide." Hou Liangping said with a light smile, "To be honest, you have always been my role model and goal. You have given me a lot of motivation and taught me a lot."

"What will I teach you? To get fat and bloated? To eat and drink excessively?"

"Senior, please stop joking." Hou Liangping changed the subject. "By the way, I have a case on my hands recently and I'd like to hear your opinion."

"explain."

"Let me think about how to say it..."

Hou Liangping pondered for a moment before speaking: "This case isn't complicated. The defendant's name is Wang Qiang, a genuine farmer. In a conflict, he killed a local bully with a fruit knife. I don't know how to determine the sentence. Is it intentional injury? Or excessive killing? Or legitimate self-defense? Or excessive self-defense?"

“In cases like this, we definitely need to look at the motive and the timing of the crime.”

“I know.” Hou Liangping said with some difficulty, “The deceased was named Liu Jin. Before he was killed, he killed Wang Qiang’s dog, forced Wang Qiang to drink urine, and finally raped Wang Qiang’s mute wife, Hao Ping. If Wang Qiang fought back when Liu Jin was assaulting him and accidentally killed Liu Jin, it could be classified as self-defense! But when Liu Jin died, the rape had already ended. At that point, Wang Qiang’s actions were no longer justifiable.”

"What did the defense prosecutor say?"

"He also sympathized with Wang Qiang, but from a legal point of view, Wang Qiang committed a violent murder and could not escape the punishment of the criminal law."

"So what do you think?"

"I don't know." Hou Liangping was a little confused. "That's why I came to you, senior, hoping you could give me some advice."

"Then let me ask you again, what was Wang Qiang doing when the deceased Liu Jin raped Wang Qiang's wife Hao Ping?"

"He... was chained up by Liu Jin, so all he could do was... sigh..."

Do you sympathize with Wang Qiang?

"Of course I sympathize." Hou Liangping took a deep drag on his cigarette. "Wang Qiang is an honest man, his wife Hao Ping is also an honest man, and they have a mute daughter. Their family has had a lot of misfortunes."

"According to you, Liu Jin was a bastard who deserved to die?"

"That's my opinion, but everything depends on the law. We in the public security, procuratorate and judicial system can't act impulsively! I've reviewed many cases, and most of Wang Qiang's actions are treated as violent homicide."

"The law cannot yield to illegality." Qi Tongwei said seriously, "The public security organs, procuratorates and courts are there to support the people. Even if there are imperfections, we should raise our own questions and ideas. We can't just do what the case files say! Don't forget, the law is also for the people."

"I understand, but..."

"how?"

“Defense prosecutor Wan Qi doesn’t think so.”
