As the sun set, Fang Miao drove home, with a lot of thoughts along the way.

She still remembered the first time she saw Zhou Yu in the hospital, when Suning would show a smile of easy satisfaction just by looking at the face of the person on the bed;

She still remembers that when Suning told her about the past, she was unconcealably shy and nostalgic;

She still remembers that Liu Zhecheng shed tears of repentance for the irreparable tragedy.

Fang Miao took out a free hand and rubbed his eyebrows vigorously, his head hurt, and the sound of the man on the verge of collapse echoed in his ears again......

"It was I who instigated me to tell A-Ning Sun Wei to live in the hotel, and told her what to do, but I never expected that she would return to the scene to check, and even when she did all this, she knew that she would be suspicious, but she still left her fingerprints. ”

"Now I finally understand that in her heart, it is far better to be liberated in this way than to be committed to me......

"Lawyer Fang, am I wrong?"

"I didn't even dare to tell the police that I was the one who led the case in the beginning!"

I didn't expect the ending......

Liu Zhecheng slipped down from the sofa and hugged his head and cried, he had experienced wind and rain, even Fang Miao, he had never seen a man expose such a fragile and even collapsed side.

It was like a building made of reinforced concrete, and in front of her eyes, it collapsed with a bang!

But how innocent is he?

From another point of view, if someone was willing to pull Suning at the beginning, would it not be the way it is now?

At the red light ahead, the car slid to the stop line, Fang Miao held her chin and looked out the window, her eyes a little sad.

After leaving the procuratorate, due to some regulations, she did not start a criminal case until this year, which is different from civil and commercial matters, and she can solve them rationally.

Compared with criminal cases, whether it is the "Wu Le case", the "Poplar case", or the current "Suning case", it seems to be an ordinary homicide case, but in fact, it is the "human nature" hidden under the fog, which makes it more difficult for people to decide.

The bell rang at this moment, Fang Miao glanced at the caller ID, and her heavy eyebrows stretched out.

——

Yan Zheng returned home with the ingredients, and saw that the person who was talking to him on the phone half an hour ago had already arrived home.

The slanting sunset swept through the treetops and filled the room.

Fang Miao leaned against the floor-to-ceiling window, turned her head sideways in bad spirits, looked at the swaying trees outside the window, and the whole person was bathed in the red and bright sun.

Yan Zheng walked to her side, his hands in his pockets, and he didn't look like he was stained with dust.

"Thinking about tomorrow's trial?"

"Hmm. ”

Yan Zheng blinked slightly, and under his thick eyebrows, those clear and dark eyes stared at Fang Miao: "Even if Liu Zhecheng doesn't give her a move, she will do it." ”

"What do you mean?" Fang Miao shook slightly.

"There is bound to be a seed in the formation of evil thoughts, if she has not moved such thoughts, how can she be easily provoked by other people's words?" This sentence, Yan Zheng did not have a trace of emotion.

Fang Miao listened to this, his mind wandered slightly, and after a while, he felt ridiculous in his heart for his sentimentality.

On the second day, the first trial began on time.

Suning was in good spirits today, obediently staying in the dock, writing and drawing with her drawing board.

The judges took their seats, all of them stood up, and after completing the routine process, the trial officially began.

Everything went well, there were no big doubts in the case, and the prosecution first stated the details of the case.

"Is there any problem with the defense lawyer?" the judge asked routinely.

Fang Miao lowered her eyes, and the pen flipped up and down in her hand: "No." ”

The prosecution continued, and the next few times she asked questions, she all said "no".

Back and forth, the auditorium inevitably whispered, Fang Miao turned a deaf ear, and his spirit seemed to be scattered.

After the judge struck the gavel, the scene fell silent.

The intermediate link is the appearance of witnesses in court.

The first was the staff at the hotel who was responsible for delivering drinks to Sun Wei that night.

"After the circuit was restored, I went upstairs to deliver drinks, knocked on the door a few times and no one answered, I waited for a while, it should have been 3 minutes, I thought it was Mr. Sun resting, so I left. ”

The testimony was no different, and after the prosecutor's routine cross-examination, the second person was Liu Zhecheng's turn.

"Miao Miao. Meng Chaoge whispered a reminder in her ear, and her eyes motioned for her to look at the witness stand.

The pen fell on the table, Fang Miao raised his head, his eyes fluttering.

Compared with seeing him yesterday, Liu Zhecheng is dressed very formally today, and his suit is straight and there is no embarrassment at all.

"Your relationship with the defendant is ......"

"Lovers. "He's not in a hurry.

The simple two words landed, Fang Miao subconsciously glanced at the dock, only to see that Suning did not paint again, but looked at the people on the witness stand like a suspicious child.

Looking at Liu Zhecheng again, his hands were crossed and rubbed, but he never looked at this side.

"On the night of the crime, there was a sudden power outage in the hotel, where were you at that time?" the prosecutor guided step by step.

"I'm in the circuit room. ”

"Why are you there?"

"I learned that Sun Wei called the hotel service, and contacted the defendant who was still in the room at the time, and in order to help her cover and escape, I temporarily turned off the main electric switch. There was no hesitation in answering.

"That is, you know what the defendant was going to do that night?"

Liu Zhecheng hesitated for a moment and nodded.

"And since you know the defendant's plan, have you ever stopped it?"

It seems to be an insignificant issue, but it starts from the source.

Hearing this, the corners of Fang Miao's lips hooked a small arc, her eyes narrowed into a slit, and she was suddenly very interested, how would this man who kept saying that he loved Suning very much.

Liu Zhecheng's heart trembled, time passed minute by minute, and his hands trembled a little.

"Witness, please answer the prosecutor's question head-on. The judge urged solemnly.

Liu Zhecheng swallowed his throat, "Of course I persuaded her, but she couldn't listen to it at all, so in order to keep her from being hurt, I decided to help her cover up." ”

Fang Miao withdrew her gaze from the witness stand and laughed contemptuously and mockingly, silently but terrifyingly.

The answer was really seamless, and he not only wiped himself out cleanly, but also used the word "persuasion" to reduce his guilt as an "accomplice".

After cross-examining the witnesses, the trial had actually come to an end, and at this moment, Fang Miao got up to make a statement.

She walked to the dock and looked at the sketch on the drawing board before turning her eyes to Suning, who had an unknown face.

——

Half an hour later, a group of people came out of the main gate of the court, and Meng Chaoge followed behind Fang Miao, without saying a word, his face was quite heavy.

Today's end is actually a foregone conclusion.

Just 20 minutes ago, lawyer Fang, who never played the emotional card on the court, told the story of five years ago in a storytelling tone for the first time.

If it weren't for the cause planted back then, how could we have the evil consequences today?

"No one who is involved in this case should be forgiven, and no one is not worthy of redemption! Law enforcement must be strong, but it must be warm!" Fang Miao was calm throughout the whole process, only this last sentence was loud and shocking.

Until she returned to the defense seat, the audience was as silent as if she had entered an empty autumn field, without a trace of movement.

"Miao Miao, you are so calm today, to be honest, sitting next to you, I feel scared. Meng Chaoge recalled just now and sighed.

Fang Miao's feet didn't stop, and he forced a smile: "Afraid?

"It's not like you, you always had an invisible aura when you went to court before. ”

"But isn't that how you can play the tender card?"

Meng Chaoge sighed, and was about to say something, but was interrupted by a voice not far away.

The two of them stopped together, and the man had already caught up.

It's Liu Zhecheng.

Meng Chaoge has always been straightforward, and he doesn't like a person to show it on his face unabashedly.

"Is there anything else wrong with Mr. Liu?" Fang Miao was not cold and hard, but as long as she was not a fool, she could feel her estrangement and impatience.

"I ......" knew that he was at a loss, and Liu Zhecheng naturally had no confidence: "I just want to know, what will be the worst result for A-Ning?"

"You shouldn't have asked me that. With that, Fang Miao raised his feet and left.

Liu Zhecheng was in a hurry and rushed up to block her way.

"Lawyer Fang, I'm afraid, if I admit everything, I'm more than an accomplice...... I ......"

Hearing his so-called "bitterness", Fang Miao had no expression on his face, and let out an "oh" without being salty.

The more unhappy a person is, the more anxious he is to explain to those around him, in a vain attempt to gain the understanding of others, so as to balance himself and make him less painful.

This is the case with Liu Zhecheng at this moment.

He tentatively spoke: "Lawyer Fang, can you understand me?"

Fang Miaopi didn't smile, her eyes were a little cold: "Of course I understand." ”

I saw Liu Zhecheng smile as if he had been amnesty, but her next words were really soul-shattering!

"Isn't it selfish?" Fang Miao spoke slowly, not excited or angry, as if it was just an irrelevant matter to her: "Yesterday I thought you were repenting, and it turned out that you would be given another chance to make a statement, for example, today, you will still shirk the responsibility completely." ”

"I was also forced to do so, my family needed me, and I couldn't bear the stain on my back. Liu Zhecheng was in a hurry to explain, and every word he spit out trembled.

"Heh!" Fang Miao chuckled lightly and said indifferently: "It's really not wrong that the tree is falling and scattered, but in you, I also found that a person can not only push the person he 'loves' into the fire pit, but also step on her again without hesitation!"

"No...... I"

"What are you?" Fang Miao's voice was cold, and her face was completely expressionless: "Your love is nothing more than that." Let's go!"

The second half of the sentence is said to Meng Chaoge.

And this time, Liu Zhecheng didn't catch up again.

Back at the law firm, Fang Miao walked straight into the office and didn't say hello to anyone else.

There was no win or loss in this lawsuit, and she was just chilled by some things that happened in front of her.

Because the youngest daughter of the Su family had a fever today, Su's mother couldn't get away and couldn't go to the court, so she called Fang Miao again in the evening, hoping that she could come to the house to explain in detail.

After getting off work, Fang Miao drove over, and after ringing the doorbell, it was a little girl who opened the door, no need to think about it, it was Suning's sister.

"Is it the lawyer's sister?" the little girl opened a pair of big watery eyes, and there was a hint of caution.

Fang Miao bent down and touched the top of her head, "Yes, what about your mother?"

"Mom is out. The little girl said as she dragged Fang Miao into the house.

The temperature of her palms was very high, and the tips of Fang Miao's heart were trembling and hot.

If there was no Zhou Yu at the beginning, would this lovely little girl not have a chance to come to this world?

If there was no accident, would Suning continue her ordinary life?

"Sister lawyer, what are you thinking?" The little girl shook Fang Miao's arm, her eyes full of innocence that was ignorant of the world.

Fang Miao looked around, "I want to visit your sister's bedroom, can the little cutie help me lead the way?"

"That's it. ”

Fang Miao looked in the direction of the little girl's finger, "Then you are waiting for your sister here, okay?"

As the little girl nodded, Fang Miao raised her feet and walked to Suning's room.

The room is simply furnished, with only a sketch framed on the white wall, and the whole thing is not recognizable as a girl's bedroom.

Fang Miaosuo walked around, and finally his eyes stayed on the desk.

She approached and picked up the leather notebook in the center.

The above diary is from five years ago, recording the journey of Suning and Zhou Yu from knowing each other to being heart-to-heart, and these are not different from what she knows.

Fang Miao patiently flipped through more than a dozen pages, and just as she habitually flipped back, her attention was taken away by a line of content in front of her.

We have already obtained the certificate, and as a family member, I want to apply to the procuratorate to appeal, but ......

Why take advantage of me?

Fang Miao's hand let go, and the notebook fell back on the table, her eyes widened in shock, and she couldn't breathe because she was grabbed by the fear of the unknown.
