Sun Xue's eyes fell on Liu Qingsong's face, curious about what he was going to say next...

Seeing Liu Qingsong's repentant look, Sun Xue nodded and said, "Go ahead."

Liu Qingsong's face was full of tears. He sniffed and said in a desperate tone, "I know that I have committed a serious sin..."

He smiled bitterly, his eyes filled with suffocating despair. "I will most likely be sentenced to death and taken to the execution ground to be shot. I have lived a failed life, accomplished nothing, and my family has left me. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to change my fate, but... I played such a good hand of cards so badly!"

Liu Qingsong wiped his tears, sighed and continued, "I deserve to die, but there are two things that have been weighing on my heart. What I am most worried about before I die is my old father. I am an unfilial son and cannot fulfill my filial duty to him and take care of him until his death. Also, my unborn child..."

Liu Qingsong raised his head, letting the tears flow freely, choking with sobs and unable to speak...

"Do you want me to help you take care of them?" Sun Xue asked with a frown.

Liu Qingsong let out a long sigh. "I want you to do me a favor. After I am executed, can you think of a way to donate my organs? I hope that the person who receives my organs can help my father with his life if the financial conditions allow. Also... after my child is born, please send him to an orphanage for me. When you are free, go visit him so that he will forget that he has a father like me..."

Sun Xue did not agree to his request, but encouraged him, "The court has not yet made a judgment. You must try to make meritorious contributions, survive well, and strive to get out as soon as possible. As for your father and your children, you don't have to worry too much..."

"Sun Xue, thank you!"

Sun Xue wanted to say a few words of encouragement, but the visiting hours were over.

Liu Qingsong was taken away by the staff. Looking at Liu Qingsong's back, Sun Xue felt mixed emotions.

The man who was once tall and strong became hunched and thin.

He realizes now, but it's too late!

When I walked out of the detention center, the sky was gray and snowflakes were falling.

This is the first snow since the beginning of winter.

Sun Xue tilted her head back, letting the snowflakes fall on her cheeks, gently licking her forehead and cheeks.

She felt depressed and miserable, just like the gray sky.

She murmured to herself, "It's really a matter of one thought to heaven or one thought to hell..."

Officer Li at the side said with emotion, "I heard the staff here briefly introduce your friend. He was ruined by hypocrisy and greed. He was so young. What a pity..."

Sun Xue suddenly remembered what Liu Qingsong said and asked, "Officer Li, will my friend be sentenced to death?"

"The probability of him being sentenced to death is very high. If he makes significant contributions, he can be spared from death."

Sun Xue asked, "What if we can gain forgiveness from the victim's family?"

Officer Li shook his head. "Even if the victim's relatives provide a letter of forgiveness, it does not necessarily exempt them from the death penalty."

Sun Xue was a little disappointed. She knew that Liu Qingsong was deeply guilty, but after hearing his words of repentance, Sun Xue still hoped from the bottom of her heart that he could be spared the death penalty.

As long as you survive, there is hope and you can be reborn.

Sun Xue expressed her worst thoughts, "If he is really sentenced to death, my friend wants to donate his organs..."

Of course she understood Liu Qingsong's idea. He wanted to use his organs to make his father live a better life, which was the only compensation for his father before he died.

Officer Li smiled and shook his head. "That is absolutely impossible. The bodies of executed prisoners are cremated by judicial authorities and their families receive their ashes."

In a hotel.

The investigators met Zhao Haimei.

The moment she saw Sun Xue, Zhao Haimei's face was full of disdain.

There was a pile of food in front of Zhao Haimei. She acted very indifferent to the arrival of the investigators. She held a hamburger in her hand and ate it in big mouthfuls.

Sun Xue looked Zhao Haimei up and down and almost couldn't recognize her.

Because of her pregnancy, Zhao Haimei gained a lot of weight and her bulging belly was very conspicuous.

She no longer had her former proud figure. She was wearing loose home clothes, and was so fat that she looked unrecognizable. Her hair was disheveled, and her nose, which had undergone surgery, was deformed. She was distracted, her eyes were dull, and her whole focus was on the hamburger in her hand.

The noble temperament of a professional manager is gone, and she looks more like an unkempt rural woman.

Zhao Haimei's mother came all the way from Kyoto to take care of her daughter. When she saw the investigators coming, she politely greeted them, sighed sadly, sat down quietly on a chair beside them, lowered her head and kept rubbing her hands...

Officer Li showed his ID and said bluntly:

"Ms. Zhao, we are here specifically for Wu Zechen's case. He is suspected of financial fraud, the amount is huge, and the social impact is very bad. He is also suspected of tax evasion of tens of millions and has now absconded."

Zhao Haimei remained indifferent.

She swallowed the last bite of the hamburger, then finished two cans of milk, burped loudly, and looked very satisfied. She wiped the corners of her mouth with a tissue, and without even looking at the investigators, she said to her mother sitting on the chair:

"Mom, the burgers taste pretty good. I want to eat more tonight. Please buy me two burgers, two chicken legs, and a cup of Coke. Oh, and two bags of French fries, and a large cup of Coke."

Zhao Haimei's mother frowned, and said reluctantly, "Eating these high-calorie foods every day, look at how fat you are now!"

Zhao Haimei said disapprovingly, "Mom, I like to eat. If I don't eat enough, I will have nightmares at night!"

Zhao Haimei's mother looked at Zhao Haimei, then at Sun Xue, and sighed helplessly.

Officer Li patiently reminded her, "Ms. Zhao, are you listening to me?"

Zhao Haimei suddenly came back to her senses and frowned, "Ah! What did you say?"

Officer Li repeated what he had just said and added, "You are very familiar with Wu Zechen, you should know where he is hiding, right?"

Zhao Haimei did not answer Officer Li's question. Instead, she raised the corner of her mouth and said coldly, "He deserves to die! He deserves it!"

When saying this, there was murderous gleam and hatred in Zhao Haimei's eyes.

"I hope you can cooperate with our work. This is also an opportunity for you to gain merit."

Zhao Haimei didn't seem to hear what Officer Li said, but turned to greet her mother, "Mom, I want to eat grapes, and I want to drink orange juice..."

Zhao Haimei's mother glared at him, her tone very impatient, "Can you be quiet for a while? You just ate and you want to eat again!"

Zhao Haimei's tone was full of coquettishness, "Mom, go buy it for me, I want to eat it, I'm hungry, and besides, he wants to eat it too..."

As she spoke, she gently stroked her swollen belly with her hand.

Officer Li finally couldn't hold back any longer and said in a serious tone:

"Zhao Haimei, we are now investigating Wu Zechen's case. It is illegal not to report it if you know about it! I hope you can cooperate with us seriously! I will ask you again, do you know where Wu Zechen is hiding?"

Zhao Haimei suddenly became serious, "I actually know where he is hiding..."

"Where is it hidden?" Officer Li asked anxiously.
