Chapter 6:
Chen Yuan wore handcuffs, making it inconvenient to roll up his sleeves.
So, he lowered his head and bit his sleeve, pulling it up to show me the old scars on his arms.
"It seems like you were really in pain back then," I summarized, "For a mother to move near an execution ground in order to educate her anti-society son, this can be considered an act of desperation.
Even Meng Mu would have to admire it." Chen Yuan said, "But this only made me feel even more repressed.
Using this method to forcibly correct me, wouldn't it make one's psychology even more distorted?" "You're right," I hesitated, "But let's not bring up mental illness.
You don't have these issues, and you've already received a fair judgment.
It's impossible to rely on this for a retrial." Chen Yuan said, "I'm just objectively stating some facts." I shook my head, "Speaking of which, I can't verify whether they are facts or not.
All I know is that your criminal acts are clear.
In your final moments, think about what you have done." "The Zhou Hongxing family was originally very happy.
But because of a few arguments with Zhou Hongxing, you harbored resentment and became a killer, casting a shadow over a once happy family.
After entering prison, you didn't strive to improve and made another major mistake, once again due to a minor argument, resulting in the death of your roommate Ma Ming.
- There is no justification for your crimes, and you casually bear the burden of two lives." Chen Yuan said, "I killed two people over a minor argument.
My emotional management skills are really poor, aren't they, Dr.
Lu?" I was at a loss for words.
As a psychological counselor, I am aware of the psychological state of most prisoners in the prison.
Some prisoners have large emotional fluctuations and poor self-control, often requiring my guidance.
These prisoners are often the focus of my attention.
However, as mentioned before, Chen Yuan is not my main concern.
Because since he was imprisoned, his performance has been good and his emotions have been stable, so I don't have to worry about him.
I haven't talked to him much before, and I know very little about him.
The prisoner Ma Ming, who was beaten to death, was imprisoned for molestation and killing of children.
He was despised and bullied in the prison and was targeted wherever he went.
It is precisely because Chen Yuan is relatively calm and does not cause trouble that the two of them were arranged in the same cell and lived in peace for a while.
Thinking like this, Chen Yuan does not seem like the kind of person who would impulsively kill someone over a few arguments.
But the fact is already set.
I said, "You confessed to those motives for murder yourself."
"Is that so?" Chen Yuan remained calm.
"The story hasn't finished yet."
The execution is coming up soon.
Does he still want to overturn his previous confession?
I looked at the time.
"There's still an hour and a half.
Keep talking."
