Shen Xingru sat on the sofa in the reception room, clasped his arms, and said, "I don't want to see him." I don't want to see him like this. Not at all. ”

Qin Mu: "How did you think about defending him?" ”

Shen Xingru: "You tell him to stop dreaming, it's just a fantasy." The conditions simply do not allow it. ”

Qin Mu: "That's not either. I carefully calculated that it was two months from the time the public security organ filed a case to the time it was transferred to the procuratorate, and the maximum time from the procuratorate to the time when the procuratorate accepted the case for prosecution was six and a half months, including two withdrawals from investigation and three extensions, but it usually does not take that long. However, it is difficult to say everything when it comes to the court, and now the court is becoming more and more understaffed, and it is impossible to arrange cases. No one can say how many times such a big case involving human life will be held, and some of the cases I have worked on have not been decided for several years. Even if we are generally speaking, the first trial is three to six months, how can the second trial take two months, and the Supreme People's Court will approve the death penalty for another two months......"

Qin Mu felt inappropriate when he said this, and hurriedly changed his words: "Even if it is the second trial, in fact, the time is almost enough." Moreover, there are a lot of variables in this kind of case, maybe it will be postponed, so we will have more time. ”

Shen Xingru sighed and said, "I don't have confidence in myself. I don't think I'll pass the test. ”

Qin Mu: "Don't say that, many lawyers in our law firm are not from law majors, and if they want to be lawyers, they will enroll in classes to study by themselves, and then pass the judicial examination." Whether you are from a professional class or a graduate student, the foundation is much better than theirs. ”

Shen Xingru: "But there are only less than three months to go, and there are too many knowledge points to memorize, and I feel that my brain is not as good as when I was a child, and I often feel that my heart is insufficient." ”

Qin Mu heard a clue and comforted: "You have already started to review, don't worry, you will definitely be fine." When we were taking the exam, we said that we had been preparing for half a year, but in fact, we had been reviewing for two months in the summer before the exam. ”

The summer vacation before the exam......

It's okay not to mention it, mentioning this matter, Shen Xingru remembered all the things back then.

This thorn has been buried in the flesh and blood for so long, it is fatal to pull it out, let it exist, but it still hurts terribly every time you touch it.

The old love songs are easy to revisit, because they are too familiar, easy to immerse, and easy to substitute.

Every note, remember where it is.

But I can't forget the pain of the past.

When you see that person, or someone mentions everything related to him, it is as if you will be sent back to the eighteenth layer of hell again, and you will be tortured again.

Some men who don't have hearts and minds will think, why do you want to do so much? Wouldn't it be nice to be together from now on?

No, every day after he left, how painful he was was vividly, as if it were yesterday.

What were those days?

Hate him for deceiving, hate him for betraying, hate him for leaving, and sometimes that hate is worse than love.

The two are mixed together, and you and I can't be separated.

Among the many legal theories, there is one called the Fruit of the Poisonous Tree.

That is to say, if the means of obtaining evidence in the course of the investigation are flawed or even illegal means have been used, then the evidence collected will not be credible and will not be admissible in the subsequent litigation process.

At the beginning, the very famous Simpson wife murder case in the United States, Simpson's defense lawyer used this principle to question the flaws in the methods used by the police officers to obtain evidence, so that important evidence was not accepted by the court.

Shen Xingru felt that the relationship between her and Xiuyuan was the fruit of the poisonous tree.

She believed that he loved her, loved her the most, and even loved her only.

But the feelings built on deception and betrayal are like the fruit of a poisonous tree, which destroys her trust in the world and makes her unable to overcome the hurdle in her heart.

Shen Xingru suddenly felt so tired, she could only get up and say goodbye.

Qin Mu felt that her face was not very good, and offered to drive her back, but she politely declined.

Shen Xingru didn't want to go home yet, she had to go have a drink.

In the past few days, she has been reading the case files again, reviewing them again, lighting lamps and boiling oil, and turning day and night upside down.

If you are sleepy during the day and have insomnia at night, if you don't drink something, your sleep will be a problem again tonight.

She didn't want to lie motionless in bed and not be able to sleep, letting painful memories knock her back over and over again.

Shen Xingru had already made a plan, and before going out today, he thought that he couldn't go back soberly.

She didn't drive, but instead took the subway to find Qin Mu.

The eastern section of Line 14 runs through the north and south of Chaoyang District.

She hadn't taken the subway for a long time, and she remembered that she had only taken it once or twice when she traveled with her classmates in college.

However, I really think it's so convenient, it's not the rush hour, there are not many people, and there are seats.

Shen Xingru thinks that it is not bad to save gas money in the future and try more public transportation.

The days of frugality must be lived.

But when he walked out of the building where Qin Mu's law firm was located, Shen Xingru immediately felt that he had no strength.

Why don't you take the subway on the way back?

She called an online car-hailing car, and soon drove to the East Third Ring Road, turned into Gongti North Road, and arrived at the boundary of Sanlitun.

Shen Xingru came to Janes+hooch, and didn't bother to look at the complicated names on the wine list, so he pointed out one casually.

The purpose is to empty the brain and clear up the people and things that can't be forgotten during the day and can't be escaped.

When it is emptied, the person will be clear and will be able to fall asleep.

Shen Xingru drank slowly, slowly in a daze, looking for a delicate balance between staying sane and insisting on getting drunk.

When he realized that the time was almost up, Shen Xingru got up at the right time, stopped fighting, and called a car to go home.

It is often windy in Beijing at night.

Shen Xingru went out today wearing a DIOR linen embroidered knee-length dress and white Martin boots, so she also brought a beige trench coat by the way.

Before getting out of the car, she put on her trench coat.

So vigilant against colds, it seems that I didn't drink too much.

When he got home, Shen Xingru had just thrown his handbag and coat aside, and was about to unzip the back of his skirt when he heard the doorbell ring suddenly.

She turned around and walked to the video intercom phone and saw Dong Haining standing outside the door.

He was so close to the door that Shen Xingru could even see the embroidery on his tie, and then recognized it as the "BLUE JACQUARD DIOR SILK TIE" that had just been shipped.

His whole body was very frizzy, his hair was messy with the wind, the buttons of his suit were scattered, and his tie was about to be ripped off by him.

Although his face was as usual, he could still see shrimp-red skin next to the second button from the top of the shirt.

Shen Xingru stood in place, looking at the person who appeared on the square inch screen.

She could imagine his movements at this moment, one hand holding the door, and the other hand constantly ringing the doorbell.

There was not a single sound in the room, so quiet that it almost drove him crazy.
