Chapter 454 Forgetting to sleep and eat
In the police room of Kuncheng District Prison, after receiving the instructions approved by the leader, guard Tang Tiefeng quickly put down the phone and said in a neat and straightforward tone: "Please follow me, both of you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he walked out of the police room with a nimble figure. At the same time, another guard walked into the police room with standard goose steps and skillfully completed the task of taking over.
Gu Qinming and Mu Xiaoji looked solemn and looked around subconsciously. The cold and stern environment around them made them feel awe-inspiring.
They did not dare to slack off and followed Tang Tiefeng closely. When they were only a few feet away from Director Xu's office, the first room on the right at the end of the corridor, a staircase exit appeared in front of them.
Tang Tiefeng maintained his powerful and military-like pace and walked straight upstairs without hesitation.
Gu Qinming and Mu Xiaoji turned around subconsciously and looked towards the prison yard.
All I saw was a tightly laid barbed wire fence that surrounded the entire area, with towering walls standing majestically;
One can’t help but feel sad. For the prisoners inside, the free world outside is such an unattainable luxury.
With mixed feelings, the two followed Tang Tiefeng to the third floor.
Before I got close, I could hear the noisy sound coming from the conference room from afar, with various opinions and discussions intertwined and endless.
Tang Tiefeng walked straight to the door of the conference room, took a deep breath, and then shouted loudly: "Report."
In an instant, the noisy voices in the conference room suddenly stopped and fell into dead silence.
Immediately afterwards, a steady response came from inside: "Come in." Hearing the voice, Tang Tiefeng stretched out his hand, pushed the door open steadily, and made a gesture of invitation.
Gu Qinming and Mu Xiaoji looked at each other and walked in steadily. When they stepped into the huge conference room, they saw all the departments, supervisory departments, and supervisors gathered here, all looking at them.
Gu Qinming looked calm and composed, and was the first to respond politely: "Hello, leaders.
I am Gu Qinming, a practicing lawyer at Zidong International Law Firm. This is Mr. Mu Xiaoji, the founder of Renxin Hospital.
I believe that all leaders are aware that Mr. Mu came here the day before yesterday to submit the relevant procedures and documents for Jiang Hao's application to leave prison to visit his relatives.
However, today we received a notice that the Prison Administration Department has taken a negative attitude towards Jiang Hao's application to leave prison to visit his family.
From the perspective of legal procedures, applications for leave from prison to visit relatives have clear statutory conditions and review procedures. Important considerations include the prisoner's reform performance in prison, compliance with prison rules and regulations, and the remaining sentence.
In the application materials we submitted, we have presented Jiang Hao's good performance in prison as comprehensively as possible, including his active participation in labor reform and records of receiving educational courses, which are sufficient to prove that he meets the basic reform conditions for leaving prison to visit his relatives.
I don't know what specific clauses the prison administration department found during the review process that were inconsistent with Jiang Hao's application.
If there are any conditions that we have not met or any information that has not been supplemented, please explain in detail so that we can communicate and improve in a targeted manner. "
A leader of the prison administration department was sitting on a chair. He was pot-bellied and moved his bloated body slightly, causing the chair to creak as it could not bear the weight.
He cleared his throat and asked in a deep and somewhat majestic voice: "According to what we know, Jiang Hao only has his mother as a relative left in this world."
As he spoke, he stretched out his finger and tapped the stack of documents on the table regarding Jiang Hao's application for leave from prison to visit his family, and continued:
"The author of this kinship application is Mu Xiaoji, but upon investigation, it was found that he has no blood relationship with Jiang Hao.
Just as Lawyer Gu introduced just now, he is the founder of Renxin Hospital and, in the conventional sense, does not meet the relative requirements at all.
According to relevant regulations, the family relationship in the application for leave from prison to visit relatives must be clear and true. This is not only related to the family ethical relationship of the prisoner, but also the key to ensuring the fair and reasonable implementation of the leave from prison to visit relatives system. "
When Mu Xiaoji heard this, he felt a surge of blood rushing to his head. He became instantly excited, his eyes widened and bloodshot, and he took a step forward eagerly.
His eyes were full of earnestness, and he explained with a trembling voice: "Hello, leader, you are right, from a blood relationship point of view, Jiang Hao and I are indeed not related.
But in the application materials, I have clearly stated in black and white that I am the author.
When Jiang Hao was imprisoned, he had an old mother at home who was blind and completely unable to take care of herself.
I was the one who brought her back to the Red Star Welfare Home to adopt her, and have spent money and effort to take good care of her over the years.
My role in her life now goes beyond that of a helper; I am both a relative and a guardian, both in fact and in feeling.
As far as I know, Jiang Hao himself also submitted an application for leave from prison to visit his family, and his words were sincere and plain.
The old man is in a critical condition and is on the verge of death. I just came from the hospital. The Public Security Bureau should have detailed and complete records of Jiang Hao's information and case files.
The old man had a very rough life. First, one of his sons became dehydrated due to a high fever, and the lack of timely treatment caused him to become ill, which eventually led to his death.
Another son, Jiang Hao, was unfortunately coerced and bribed by drug lords and embarked on a criminal path. He is now serving his sentence in your prison.
After experiencing these heavy blows, the old woman returned to the Red Star Welfare Home and was depressed all day long. The long-term sorrow and depression caused her to become ill, and her health deteriorated. Now she can hardly maintain even basic diet.
I implore all leaders to consider this matter and fulfill the old man’s last wish!”
At the end of his speech, Mu Xiaoji broke down emotionally, no longer caring about his face and dignity. With a plop, he knelt heavily on the floor of the conference room in the direction of the leaders of the Prison Administration Section and others.
Then, he slammed his forehead to the ground, and a dull sound echoed in the quiet conference room.
The force was so great that it seemed as if he wanted to convey all his inner despair and expectation through this kneeling and knocking.
Seeing this, Gu Qinming's eyes were filled with panic and heartache. He quickly reached out to hold Mu Xiaoji's arms to stop him from making any extreme movements.
He shouted anxiously, "Master, what are you doing? Get up quickly! You are disabled yourself, and helping others without asking for anything in return is already a great kindness.
You must believe that the leaders will get to the bottom of this and make a clear decision. Are you really embarrassing the leaders by acting like this now? "
As Gu Qinming spoke, she hugged Mu Xiaoji tightly and tried her best to help Mu Xiaoji up.
His eyes showed concern for Mu Xiaoji and hope for a slight turn for the better. At this moment, the atmosphere in the conference room was so heavy that it was hard to breathe.
At this moment, Mu Xiaoji was so excited that his whole body was shaking violently, breathing rapidly and gasping for air;
Every breath seemed to carry a heavy burden, followed by an uncontrollable cough, which was full of fatigue and despair.
Seeing this, Gu Qinming's expression was full of worry and concern. He hurried forward, stretched out his hand and gently patted Mu Xiaoji's back, trying to help him relax his breath, and whispered:
"Master, please get up first and sit down to rest. I'm here for you! If something happens to you today, how can I explain to Mr. Song when I go back?"
At the other end of the conference room, a leader with a simple face was observing all this quietly.
He was wearing a neat uniform with the emblems on his epaulettes clearly visible. Judging from the rank represented by the epaulettes, everyone present knew that he should be the person with final decision-making power in the prison.
The leader frowned slightly, with a hint of doubt on his face, and then asked in a warm but dignified tone: "I wonder what is the relationship between Mu Xiaoji and Song Shijie of the Song Group?"
Gu Qinming was carefully placing the frail Mu Xiaoji in a chair.
Hearing the leader's question, he immediately turned around, stood upright, with a professional and polite smile on his face, and responded neither servile nor arrogant:
"Reporting to the leader, Mu Xiaoji is Mr. Song Shijie's long-lost son.
In his early years, Mr. Song was maliciously plotted against by his rivals due to a business dispute, which led to the separation of his family. The young Mu Xiaoji unfortunately drifted to City G and was later adopted by the Red Star Welfare Home. Later, by chance, he was able to recognize his ancestors with Mr. Song.
The Red Star Welfare Home has an extremely special and irreplaceable meaning for Mu Xiaoji. It is where he grew up and carries countless memories for him.
During the time in the welfare home, Jiang Hao's mother, like Mu Xiaoji, received careful care and attention and enjoyed the same treatment.
The director, staff and other members of the Red Star Welfare Home can testify to this and provide relevant supporting documents.
If leaders have any doubts, they can conduct follow-up investigations and verifications. Mu Xiaoji's true intentions in running for Jiang Hao's mother's affairs are pure and sincere, and there is absolutely no falsehood;
It was purely out of sympathy and concern for the old lady, hoping to help her fulfill her last wish."
The kind-looking leader sighed slightly, glanced at Mu Xiaoji and Gu Qinming in turn, and spoke again:
"Please go back, both of you. Jiang Hao's application for leave from prison to visit his family involves many aspects, including the rules and regulations of prison management and the overall plan for the transformation of prisoners. It is by no means a hasty decision.
We need to discuss this carefully, further verify the relevant situation, and then make a new decision based on the actual circumstances."
There was a certain calmness and caution in his tone, which made people feel that he took this responsibility very seriously.
Gu Qinming nodded slightly, stretched out his hand in understanding, and steadily helped up Mu Xiaoji, who was half leaning on him and whose body was weak due to emotional excitement.
Gu Qinming supported him and thanked him sincerely, "Well, we won't disturb you from working.
I urge all leaders to carefully consider this matter in the subsequent discussions.
After all, this is about the last wish of an old man, and I hope that all leaders can empathize with him and understand his difficult situation at the moment. " His words were sincere, and his eyes were full of expectation.
Mu Xiaoji also tried to stay alert, forcing a smile on his pale face, nodded slightly, and said in a weak voice:
"Thank you, leaders. I am sorry to bother you today!" His words were filled with deep fatigue and helplessness.
At this time, Tang Tiefeng at the door had already understood what he meant. He gently pushed the door open, made a gesture of invitation, and then led the two of them back the way they came.
Along the way, the footsteps echoed in the empty corridor, seeming particularly lonely.
Gu Qinming had been paying close attention to Mu Xiaoji's condition. Seeing that his face was getting uglier, she couldn't help but ask with concern: "Master, how do you feel? How about we go to the hospital directly?"
Beads of sweat kept rolling down Mu Xiaoji's cheeks. He raised his hand with great effort to wipe the sweat off his face. After a moment's rest, he said, "My stomach is upset. I'll have medicine when I get home. It's an old problem. I just need to rest for a while."
Gu Qinming frowned, full of heartache and anxiety, and couldn't help but say, "You always forget to eat and sleep when you are busy.
Although this matter is important, you have to take care of your health. If Mr. Song knew that you had tormented yourself like this because of this matter, he would be very distressed. "
Mu Xiaoji forced a bitter smile and responded weakly: "I know what's going on, but this matter is too urgent. When I think of the old man still waiting in the hospital, I can't let it go."
As they talked, the two of them slowly walked towards the prison gate. Their figures were stretched out in the afterglow of the spring day, as if they were carrying endless worries.
