The Zhang family refused to take Xiao Xin back, and Zhang Peilan did not agree to let the Zhang family take away their children, so Xiao Xin could only follow Zhang Peilan to the county seat.

Today, Meng Sanqiu and Li Yuanjia came to the county public security bureau to cooperate with the investigation, Zhang Peilan knew about it, so she asked the police to hand over Xiaoxin to Meng Sanqiu, and asked Meng Sanqiu to help take care of Xiaoxin.

"She has been in Mengjiang Village for more than five years, and her mother's side can't be contacted, and the Zhang family refuses to have this child," Meng Sanqiu glanced at Xiao Xin lovingly, "This child often follows her mother in the factory, and she is a child who attracts people." ”

Xiao Xin smiled at Meng Sanqiu, lowered her head and continued to eat.

Zhou Niannian smiled, the reason why Zhang Peilan did not agree to let the Zhang family take Xiaoxin away was that she must have understood that the Zhang family would not treat her well.

According to common sense, Zhang Peilan was locked up, and Zhang Lixian and his wife were Xiao Xin's grandparents, so they should call Xiao Xin to them.

can look at the current posture of Zhang Lixian and his family, Xiao Xin is better to follow them than to follow Meng Sanqiu, Meng Sanqiu and his family are older, their grandchildren are also older, the old couple are kind, if there is a child under their knees, they will definitely take care of it.

Zhang Peilan must have thought of this before entrusting Xiao Xin to Meng Sanqiu.

"What do the guys from the Bureau of Investigation say?" she asked.

"The investigation bureau said that Zhang Peilan would be re-interrogated, but Zhang Dong's body has been returned to the Zhang family, and I heard that the Zhang family insisted that Zhang Peilan killed him and refused to let the forensic doctor examine it again, so things are not easy to handle. Li Yuanjia said in a low voice.

"That Zhang Peilan's side....?"

Li Yuanjia shook his head, "We haven't seen her either, and we don't know exactly what happened between her and Zhang Dong, so we can't help much, except for ......"

His eyes fell on Xiao Xin, and the implication was that in addition to helping take care of Xiao Xin, they might not be able to help Zhang Peilan with anything else.

Meng Sanqiu ate two bites of food and put down his chopsticks, "Girl, let me ask you something." ”

Zhou Niannian then put down his chopsticks, "Uncle Meng, you say." ”

Meng Sanqiu smacked his lips and thought for a moment, "Aren't you a lawyer now? From your point of view, how do you think this matter should be handled?"

Zhou Niannian thought about it seriously before speaking: "I haven't seen Zhang Peilan, and I don't know what happened at the time of the crime, but from the perspective of a lawyer, if Zhang Peilan is really innocent, she can ask a lawyer to defend her." ”

"The law is about evidence, and the investigation bureau should also pay attention to evidence when it comes to convicting a case, and if she has evidence to prove her innocence, the investigation bureau can release her. ”

Meng Sanqiu didn't understand these things very well, but he understood the key words, that is, the word evidence.

"What if there is no evidence?" he asked.

"In the absence of direct evidence, a dialectic can be conducted on the basis of established facts and the supporting evidence gathered. Zhou Niannian further explained, "For example, if she really didn't kill anyone, but there is no evidence to prove it, we can collect other circumstantial evidence for dialectic and defend her innocence." ”

Meng Sanqiu and Li Yuanjia glanced at each other, both a little dazed, obviously still didn't understand Zhou Niannian's meaning too much.

"It means that if she is really innocent, you can help her, right?" Meng Sanqiu asked.

Zhou Niannian did not answer this question directly, and asked Meng Sanqiu instead, "Does Uncle Meng think Zhang Peilan is innocent?"

Meng Sanqiu watched Xiao Xin finish the last bite of rice in the bowl, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and sat motionless on the chair obediently.

He sighed softly before saying, "To be honest, she has been living quite peacefully since she returned to the village in the past two years, and she knows how to measure and measure etiquette than in the past." ”

On weekdays, in addition to going to work, she takes care of the children at home, even if some ill-intentioned people think about her past and climb her courtyard wall in the middle of the night, they are all beaten and scolded by her. ”

Li Yuanjia nodded in agreement, "Yes, she doesn't talk much in the factory, she only works hard, and keeps a distance from her male colleagues, and if someone laughs at her, she will scold her with a black face." ”

Because she has always behaved very harshly in front of men, she has returned to the village for two years, and she has not spread any bad rumors. ”

Zhou Niannian thought to herself, it seems that Meng Sanqiu and Li Yuanjia's impression of Zhang Peilan has changed a lot.

She wanted to get in touch with this case because of her intuition when she saw Zhang Peilan that day, Meng Sanqiu and Li Yuanjia judged based on their observation and getting along with Zhang Peilan in the past two years, and they also felt that Zhang Peilan might be innocent.

"I'm looking at Xiao Xin, this kid is pitiful, I miss it, can you please find a way to help Zhang Peilan. Meng Sanqiu pleaded, "If nothing else, just for Xiao Xin's child, if she is locked up, what will Xiao Xin's child do in the future?"

"No matter how well outsiders treat her, they can't replace her mother after all. ”

Hearing the words of her mother, Xiao Xin's tears that she had endured for a long time flowed out, the child wanted to cry but was afraid of being reprimanded, biting her lip and crying in a low voice, which was very unbearable.

No matter what, the child is innocent.

Zhou Niannian was astringent, hugged Xiao Xin in his arms, gently patted her back and coaxed her, "Be good, Xiao Xin, don't be afraid, don't be afraid." ”

Perhaps feeling the warmth on her body, Xiao Xin nestled in her arms and sobbed quietly.

"How do you think I can help her? Uncle Meng. She looked up at Meng Sanqiu.

Meng Sanqiu hesitated, "You..... Can you defend her?"

Speaking of this, he was afraid that Zhou Niannian would misunderstand what he meant, so he waved his hand and explained: "I don't mean to let you save her, if she really kills someone, then we can't save her, but if she is wronged, can you try to ....."

Zhou Niannian understood what she meant, "Yes." ”

Meng Sanqiu also prepared a bunch of words to plead with Zhou Niannian, and when he heard these two words, he was stunned before he reacted, and Zhou Niannian agreed.

He happily glanced at Li Yuanjia, and then looked at Zhou Niannian cautiously, "Also.... Don't embarrass you too much, if she does do it, then we can't defend her. ”

Zhou Niannian smiled, "Well, I understand what you mean, but Uncle Meng, if a lawyer wants to defend someone, the client must first apply for it himself." ”

"See if you can find a way to send a message to Zhang Peilan and ask her to apply for a lawyer to defend her. ”

"I accepted her application for a defense, so that I could collect evidence in the name of justice. ”

Meng Sanqiu was a little embarrassed, they hadn't seen Zhang Peilan yet.

"Let's figure it out. Li Yuanjia said.

Zhou Niannian nodded, "Well, I'll also think of a way here, if I have news, I'll call you to tell you." ”

After eating, Zhou Niannian sent them back to the guest house.

Xiao Xin tightly tugged on Zhou Niannian's sleeve and didn't let go, Zhou Niannian asked her softly: "Xiao Xin, do you want to say something to Auntie?"

Xiao Xin nodded, tilted her head and thought about it before saying in a childish voice, "Help... Thank you, Mom!"
