Chapter 36: New Variables
After leaving the hospital, Fang Miao moved her wrist to think about things, and seeing that she was absent-minded, Meng Chaoge coughed twice to show her presence.
Fang Miao squinted at her and said leisurely: "It's not too far from the hospital, you can go back to treat your throat." β
Meng Chaoge said indignantly in his heart, with a smile on his face: "This is a small question, I just want to ask you, where are we going next?"
"Law firm!" she swaggered to the parking lot.
Behind him, Meng Chaoge chased after him.
After driving to the law firm, as soon as she entered the door, Fang Miao felt what it meant to be welcomed, and all her colleagues were separated from each other, looking at her like a warrior returning after a long absence.
Fang Miao smiled back at everyone as she walked forward, not knowing whether to be relieved or awkward, in short, this battle was very uncomfortable for a person like her, who had always been low-key.
"Lawyer Fang, welcome back!"
After walking a few steps, Han Junchi and Li Xin jumped out at the front, and the latter offered flowers.
"Thank you. Fang Miao took the bouquet and smiled heartily.
"You're welcome, there's a surprise in your office. Han Junchi raised his eyebrows at her, he was very proud like that, and he didn't need to think about it to know who the so-called surprise came from.
Fang Miao turned to face everyone and shouted in a loud voice: "I'm Hu Hansan, I'm back again!"
Everyone applauded and laughed in unison, but Meng Chaoge was smiling bitterly.
After a few words of greeting with others, everyone returned to work, Fang Miao entered the office with a bouquet of flowers, and didn't see the surprise that Han Junchi said at a glance, until she walked to the desk, and then she noticed the two pots placed by the window...... Grass?
The flower pot is labeled: copper money grass, flower language: strong and inclusive, financial resources are rolling, one pot is placed in the office and at home, praise!
Fang Miao poked the leaf flap and laughed silently.
After more than half a month of leisure, I returned to work again, and I was a little uncomfortable, and it was over after a while.
The Baiyang case is still a week away, but she is still at a loss, and Fang Miao has a headache.
"The court agreed to continue the trial, but there was still no news from what you asked me to check before, and now although we have a new witness, it seems that the prosecution has also moved. Meng Chaoge analyzed the situation and followed the big head.
"Let's wait and see. Fang Miao closed her eyes, tapped the corner of her forehead, and said, "I expected that Song Siming would definitely take the initiative this time, and we are not at a disadvantage now." β
"That's right, I suddenly remembered, didn't Poplar leave a confession book, did it mention anything?"
"The murder weapon was already in the room, and when he entered the door, he saw Chen Yifeng trying to use force on Zhou Yan, so he stabbed him and injured him in the shoulder. Fang Miao flipped through the case materials, found the pages with the photos of the deceased, and pointed out one of them, "At first, he completely denied it because he was afraid of being convicted for it, but that day Zhou Yan went to see him and told him that as long as he confessed, he would be a witness in court for him to defend himself, but in fact he didn't." β
On the night he jumped off the building, Zhou Yan must have stimulated him, in Bai Yang's confession, he hoped to settle the case with death, so that his mother could no longer run for him, and it may be that deep down in his heart, he didn't want to live like this hard at all. Fang Miao smiled, undoubtedly laughing at Bai Yang's selfishness and pity.
Meng Chaoge sighed, "He is relieved, but as long as this world continues day after day, the living people will move forward because of his sadness." β

In the pantry, two little assistants stood together and drank cold drinks to soothe their nerves.
"Lawyer Zhang is going on a business trip in two days, and I am responsible for sorting out documents, contacting hotels, etc., so it is certain to work overtime tonight. The assistant looked sad.
The person next to her patted her on the shoulder: "It's just a workout, you can learn more, if you can become a barrister like them in the future, what is the point of working overtime." β
"That's right. The assistant still agrees, "I feel that being a lawyer is also very hard, just like Sister Xin, who is 33 years old before she finds a suitable boyfriend." β
"I heard that the relationship hasn't been confirmed yet, but I'm going out on a date again tonight, and I don't think it's going to be ten or nine. β
"What?" As soon as the words fell, there was a surprise sound at the door of the pantry.
The two little assistants looked at each other and saw Han Junchi frozen in place with a water cup.
The assistant looked at each other for a long time and explained: "Yes, Sister Xin left ahead of schedule and said that she was going on a date." β
This time, Han Junchi was completely petrified, and he didn't know how to react.
The day's work was finally over, and when it was time to get off work, Fang Miao took a pot of copper money grass home.
Coincidentally, she almost arrived in the community with Yan Zheng.
"Do you like to raise flowers and plants?" Yan Zheng loosened his neckline and saw the plants in her arms.
Fang Miao entered the code to open the door, and did not forget to reply: "How can I have such leisure, my colleague sent it to the person who accompanied me to Heal before." β
Yan Zheng has a good memory, and he remembered the existence of this person by virtue of the two meetings between him and Han Junchi that were not too formal.
"Meow~" Seeing the two little masters coming back, Da Rongrong jumped off the sofa with her front feet and walked to Yan Zheng's feet to be coquettish.
"It's probably hungry, I guess I'll have to trouble you feeding it for me, I'll go prepare dinner first. He took off his coat and began to unfasten the cufflinks on his wrists.
Seeing this, Fang Miao couldn't help but feel hot at the root of her ears, she couldn't help but look too embarrassed, she didn't care if she was afraid of hairy animals, picked up Da Rongrong and hurriedly walked to the shelf where the cat food was placed.
Yan Zheng was so careful, how could such a detail be missed, he pursed his lips and smiled, and walked silently to the kitchen to get busy.
When eating, Fang Miao kept moving his left arm, not on the table, not on his knee.
"Is it because of the discomfort in the arm?" he had already put down his chopsticks to hold her forearm.
I don't know if Fang Miao's skin is too sensitive, obviously his hands are slightly cold, but the temperature transmitted to his whole body is scorching.
She was shy and lowered her voice: "It's nothing, I just feel like this arm doesn't seem to be my own." β
"I have just removed the plaster cast and have this feeling, and in the short term, I should pay more attention to rest, do not touch heavy objects, and once there is something wrong, I must go to the hospital in time. Yan Zheng withdrew his hand and began to advise patiently.
Although he was cared for as a patient, Fang Miao still felt very warm, and couldn't hide the smile on the corner of his mouth, he wanted to be reserved, but he still couldn't help complaining: "Okay, don't always commit occupational diseases, as if it's very serious." β
In the end, there was nothing she could do, Yan Zheng pulled his lips and stopped talking.
ββ
The whole dating process went smoothly overall, and after the meal, the "prospective boyfriend" Zhao Ran invited Li Xin to watch a movie.
Since she decided to have a deep friendship with him, Li Xin naturally would not refuse, the man went to the parking lot to pick up the car, she waited on the side of the road, and swiped Weibo and Moments when she was bored.
Catch up with Miao Gang to update a new news: My chef [picture below - chopped pepper fish head].
After clicking on the like, Li Xin put the phone back in his bag, and as soon as he looked up, he saw the man walking out of Volvo on the opposite street.
How could he come? This was the first thought that popped into Li Xin's mind.
Han Junchi walked through the street and walked in front of her, he couldn't figure out if it was too dark or what, his face was dark: "You're on a date?"
Li Xin was looking him up and down with his eyes, and his tone was careless: "Yes." β
"What about the man?"
Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived, the two beams of lights in front of Zhao Ran's car took the lead in shining over, and under the conditioned reflex, Han Junchi raised his hand to block it.
Zhao Ran got out of the car and smiled generously: "Coincidentally, Lawyer Han." β
If it was in normal times, he would definitely be able to say it lightly, but tonight Han Junchi was not so relieved.
"Unfortunately, I came here to find someone. After speaking, he had already grabbed Li Xin's wrist and was about to leave.
"Wait!" Zhao Ran's reaction was also fast, and he directly took Li Xin's other hand and asked, "What does Lawyer Han mean by this?"
"What it means to go!"
"Really?"
The awkward and blunt dialogue makes the atmosphere tense.
The two big men confronted each other, especially Han Junchi, who rarely broke out on anything, and this time he knew that he was really angry by looking at his face.
After being silent for a while, Zhao Ran's face became ugly: "Li Xin will be my girlfriend, Lawyer Han should know what is called proportion, right?"
At that moment, Li Xin clearly felt that the strength on the wrist grabbed by Han Junchi was loosened, such a change could have allowed her to successfully break free, but she hesitated at that moment.
Was it a delusion? He even cared who she was with......
However, in the next second, this idea was rejected by force.
"You also said that she will be your girlfriend, that is, not yet?" Han Junchi was obviously smiling, but his eyes were so cold that he could kill: "We are childhood sweethearts, who is she going to be with, of course, she has to pass me!"
It's ridiculous, in the end, she is too affectionate, after listening to this conversation, Li Xin sneered wordlessly, his voice was extremely soft, but he inadvertently showed ruthlessness: "Let go!" She turned to Han Junchi, not allowing her beak.
Han Junchi's body stiffened, and he looked at her with a dark gaze, and after a long time, he still chose to let go a little bit.
At the same time, Zhao Ran also consciously let go, Li Xin looked at Han Junchi's eyes, and said calmly: "I made an appointment with Zhao Ran to watch a movie, and I left first if I had nothing to do." β
After that, she turned to leave, and Han Junchi was about to reach out to grab her, but in an instant, he put down his hand and chased after him to stop her: "You are not suitable." β
"Why is it not suitable?" Li Xin asked coldly.
"Occupation, age, hobbies, personality......"
"Enough!" Li Xin was completely angry at this time, and interrupted sternly: "Then who is suitable?
Suddenly it was Han Junchi's turn to be speechless, his expression was a little painful, and it took a long time to think of a response: "I hope you don't act so rashly." β
"Sorry, I really didn't. Li Xin hooked the corners of his lips and slapped his face: "I'm not young, I want to find someone to spend my life with, and these have nothing to do with you, a bamboo horse." In the last half of the sentence, she said word by word.
As if the atrium had been hit hard, Han Junchi forcibly suppressed the unhappiness that kept rising in his chest, and wanted to try his best to save it, although he didn't know why he was so persistent.
"Let's go. Li Xin smiled and said to Zhao Ran.
The two walked side by side to the car, Zhao Ran opened the car door for her, Li Xin lowered her body and was just about to enter the car, when she was interrupted again by an abrupt sound.
"What if I said I would like to be the one to spend my life with you?"
At that moment, the whole world was quiet, some people were angry, some people were stunned, and some people were extremely nervous!
Han Junchi pursed his lips, and even he forgot why he said such a thing? Maybe the moment he saw Li Xin get into the car, he could no longer bear the domineering reluctance.
In his memory, the person who has been by his side for 20 years may step out of his own world and no longer stand on the same front as him......
Zhao Ran, who was like an outsider, lifted his heart and nervously checked Li Xin's complexion.
I saw that she was still lukewarm, and after a few seconds, her mood changed sharply, and her eyebrows were dyed with a resolute cold color: "The person you like is Fang Miao, I know better than anyone else from beginning to end, therefore, I don't need such charity from you!"
For a long time, all that echoed in Han Junchi's ears was this sentence.
Not far away, Meng Chaoge, who witnessed this scene, covered his mouth in surprise, his eyes widened, he looked ahead, and he couldn't close his mouth for a long time.
ββ
After the meal, Fang Miao said that she was moving her muscles and bones and volunteered to wash the dishes.
Yan Zheng stood by the window and played with the leaf petals of the copper coin grass, shaking it and looking a little funny, but he suddenly thought of something, his smile froze at the corner of his mouth, and strange feelings surged in his heart.
He remembered that when he held Fang Miao's arm just now, although he was standing in the doctor's point of view, every time he came into contact with her, it seemed to make his reason fall asleep, he didn't think much at the time, but now that he thought about it, it was enough to make his heart feel uneasy.
Fang Miao packed up the dishes and chopsticks, and went to the study to deal with the work, absent from work for half a month, and now the time for the second trial of Baiyang is getting closer and closer, and she has to work hard.
In the gentle night, Yan Zheng dismissed the follow-up matters of treating split personality, as if this thought had never appeared in his mind, and was quietly buried by the night.
The next day, a piece of bad news fell on everyone like a thunderbolt from the blueβthe prosecutor in the Poplar case had a new witness.
"This Song Siming actually really found a witness?" Meng Chaoge looked at the notice from the court, his face full of disbelief.
Fang Miao shook his head: "You have seen too little, if you really want to use the testimony of human witnesses to confirm Bai Yang's crimes, there will always be a way." β
"What do you mean......"
"Forget it, it's imperative that we have a response in place. Fang Miao took the court notice and checked the testimony of the witness Mr. Liu, wanting to dig out the flaws in it.
With her opponents pressing tightly and limited evidence, her thinking must always be clear, and this will also be the only chance, give yourself a chance!
