    police he hadn't done it, but no one believed him and he was going to be hanged. On the day of the hanging,
    however, the door in the floor, through which Lee's body would fall, did not open. They tried three times but
    each time the door stayed closed, even though it had worked well the day before. In the end they sent Lee

    bedroom, which was in Colombia, and called his lawyer (律师). The Venezuelan police were not allowed to
    enter Colombia so they could not enter the bedroom. They asked the police in Colombia to help. The
