[English translation]
Traces of Sin  52

As for the vicious gangs that Ke Yong was involved in, they were battled by the police in the following year. That “rafting club” was ordered to tidy up with licence suspended.

Zhuang Liqun was sentenced to death in his trial. The result was expected by all. “Life for life” was a well accepted rule since ancient China, it’s also a simple judicial logic to all. Moreover, it’s hardly any excuse for such premeditated robbery and murder. Zhuang Liqun himself also gave up the right to appeal.

When Liu Mingtian’s colleagues were celebrating their latest success in fighting the vicious underground gangs, he drove away alone. He was to meet Zhuang Liqun in the detention centre. He also brought a letter to him.
