The exposure of the case in charge of Lin Manshu by the media has on the one hand increased the attention of the case, promoted the retrial, and is conducive to the investigation of the case, and on the other hand, it has also brought some negative impacts.

For example, Lin Manshu reported on the good side, saying that she was pushing for a retrial of the case, and that she was correcting the wrongful conviction of the judicial organs, while others said that she defended the murderer in disregard of her conscience as a human being and only to make money.

Because of the different media reports, the public's opinion of Lin Manshu is also different. Because of the media hype, Lin Manshu almost became a public figure. Wherever you go, you will attract the attention of others.

No, as soon as Lin Manshu walked into a coffee shop, it attracted attention, and after the attention, it was indispensable to discuss.

"Look, isn't that Lin Manshu?"

"Eh? Wow, I'm better than the photos on the news. ”

"What's the use of being good-looking, you have to be kind-hearted, a lawyer like her, she can do anything if she gives a little money, and she defends the murderer and fabricates evidence, which is simply a loss of conscience. ”

"Was the evidence in that case falsified? Wow...... I can't see it, I can do anything for money. ”

Someone in the "......" coffee shop discussed Lin Manshu, although it was not too much rhetoric, but it was not good.

"Sit down. ”

On this day, Xiao Mubai made an appointment with Lin Manshu in a coffee shop near the police station to give her something. Unexpectedly, as soon as Lin Manshu came in, she became the target of everyone's verbal attacks. Hearing what they said about those excessive words, Xiao Mubai couldn't bear it, and stood up and prepared to go to those people to theorize. But Lin Manshu asked him to sit down.

"They're going too far. Xiao Mubai said, still preparing to teach those few people who talked about Lin Manshu in the past.

"Sit down, don't make me say a third time. Lin Manshu still said with a tough attitude, not letting Xiao Mubai care about these things.

Xiao Mubai saw that Lin Manshu still had a cold attitude, and was not affected by the discussion at all, as if others were not talking about her. Xiao Mubai had no choice but to sit down in his seat.

"What are you looking for me?" asked Lin Manshu.

"Ah, this, here you go. Xiao Mubai remembered the purpose of looking for Lin Manshu today, and handed the file bag on the table to Lin Manshu.

Lin Manshu picked up the file bag and opened the contents, her cold eyes finally showed an expression.

"Is this true?" asked Lin Manshu in surprise.

"It's true, the forensic doctor found the hair in Xu Yingying's underwear at that time, but before the identification results came out, the case was closed. In order to ensure that the evidence was not destroyed, the case-handling personnel at that time did not take it out. Xiao Mubai replied.

Lin Manshu put the file bag on the table and asked, "Who are the case handlers?" Can they testify in court?"

"The person in charge of handling the case is my captain, and he also gave me the information, since he asked me to give you this information, it is no problem to appear in court. Xiao Mubai said.

After a pause, he said: "However, this hair has not been compared with DNA, and it cannot be used as evidence to prove the innocence of Liu Maoguo and Zhang Jiahong." ”

"You can do DNA comparisons. Lin Manshu said.

"Yes, but ......" Xiao Mubai expressed his concerns, "but you can't use the identification agency of the police station, you may have to go somewhere else." Because although this case has been retried, we are still not allowed to participate in the case. ”

Lin Manshu nodded and said, "It's understandable, it just so happens that Hanyu has a familiar appraisal agency. ”

After the case materials were handed over, Lin Manshu and Xiao Mubai chatted for a while. Most of the conversations revolved around the facts of the case. In this process, Xiao Mubai heard the voices of Lin Manshu talking around again, but Lin Manshu still didn't care.

"Why don't you care about other people's eyes at all, and always go your own way?" Xiao Mubai asked, the coffee steaming, creating a warm and relaxed atmosphere for the surroundings.

"Because I've seen too much, for as long as I can remember, I've been surrounded by those eyes, sympathetic, disdainful, ridiculed, and disdainful...... Those eyes are always on me. If I cared, I probably wouldn't be alive now. Lin Manshu said leisurely.

After that, she slowly moved her eyes to the window, stared at the slowly falling leaves on the trees, and said, "He just cares too much about those gazes, so he left early at an age when he should be sprinkled with flowers and sunshine." ”

Who is he? Xiao Mubai wanted to ask this question, but seeing the sad look in Lin Manshu's eyes, he couldn't bear to ask.

Lin Manshu was also silent and did not speak again. Who was he? It was a scar in her heart, a scar that she would never forget, and that would never heal.

"I killed someone. She seemed to hear the voice ringing in her ears again, a trembling, terrified voice...... That's something Lin Manshu can't forget.

The sound was accompanied by lightning and thunder, and in an instant it rained heavily. It was the same weather today, it was raining heavily. Lim stood alone in front of the window in her room, watching the rain fall from the eaves.

There was no light in her room, it was pitch black outside and inside the window, only the occasional lightning broke a glimmer of light in the darkness, illuminating Lin Manshu's face, and those eyes were still cold. But looking at these cold eyes today, I always feel a little sad.

The light of lightning hit Lin Manshu's room and shone on the photo of her bedside table, which was still the same. It was a photo of Lin Manshu and a boy, both of whom didn't look big and had bright smiles on their faces. It's just that the smile doesn't appear anymore.

"Wow, it's raining so hard today. ”

The night was dark, and Xiao Mubai had a case in his hands, so he got off work and opened the door of the police station hall, and the pouring rain outside was swept inside by the wind.

"You wait here first, I'll go back and get the umbrella. Chen Li, who was traveling with him, wrapped his clothes tightly and ran back after speaking.

After Xiao Mubai watched Chen Li's figure leave, he threw his eyes into the rain outside, looking at the stagnant water on the ground, when the rain fell from the sky, it dripped into the stagnant water on the ground and bounced water droplets upward.

The cold wind squeezed in through the crack in the door, and this cold feeling reminded Xiao Mubai of Lin Manshu's eyes.

"If her eyes could measure the temperature, then she would probably be below zero. Xiao Mubai muttered to himself.

"However, with such cold eyes, today they are sad. ”

Xiao Mubai's mind replayed the scene of Lin Manshu turning out the window to look at the fallen leaves, and the sadness that was inadvertently revealed made Xiao Mubai care very much.

"Who is he, how could he make Lawyer Lin care so much?" Xiao Mubai muttered.

Chen Li returned to the office and took two umbrellas downstairs, but Xiao Mubai, who said that he was waiting for him at the door, was gone.

"What's the matter? Wait for me, will this guy leave first?" Chen Li said confusedly.

Because he knew Xiao Mubai, he knew that he was not someone who would leave without saying a word, so Chen Li called Xiao Mubai.

"Hey, where are you? Are you gone? It's raining so hard. As soon as the phone on the other side was connected, Chen Li couldn't wait.

"I have something to do, you go first. Xiao Mubai's voice came from the opposite side.

"You didn't want to invite me to dinner and ran away. Chen Li said that he had made an appointment for dinner, but he suddenly missed the appointment like this, which was very abrupt.

"Please eat tomorrow, I really have something to do, hang up first. After Xiao Mubai finished speaking, he hung up the phone in a hurry.

Xiao Mubai was sitting on the sofa in the director's office at the moment, and the director came to the hall a few minutes ago to find him and said that he had something to talk to him. They went to the office together.

"Is there anything the director looking for me?" Xiao Mubai asked, he was still a little restrained in front of his superiors, not as casual as he was in his own team.

The director smiled kindly and said, "You don't have to be restrained, be casual. It's not my job to come to you today. ”

"It's not a matter of work, it's a ......," Xiao Mubai asked, and he and the director would not have any other communication except work.

"Your father is Xiao Hai. The director looked at Xiao Mubai and said, not in an inquiring tone, but in a sure tone.

Xiao Mubai looked at the director with puzzled eyes and asked, "Do you know my father?"

"His case, I handled it. The director said.

Xiao Mubai, who heard this, was surprised in his heart, he has been looking for the truth since he went to the police academy. It's a pity that the time is too long, and there is no way to check the case information and the personnel handling the case at that time. Unexpectedly, his director was the investigator in charge of his father's case.

"My father, he ...... Is it suicide?" Xiao Mubai asked slowly, his voice was low and his tone was slow, after so many years, he still did not accept the fact that his biological father Xiao Hai committed suicide.

The director looked at Xiao Mubai and said, "You need to check this yourself." At that time, there was no suspicious evidence in the case, and it could only be speculated that it was suicide. ”

Saying that, the director pushed the case information on the table in front of Xiao Mubai, and continued: "This is the case information at that time, because I had some questions about that case, so I kept a copy. ”

Lin Manshu stood in front of the window, the rain outside was still heavy and heavy, and the rain was left along the window, and the heavy rain was falling, forming a layer of mist between heaven and earth. A glimmer of light suddenly broke through the mist, followed by the sound of a vehicle passing through the rain.

The car was parked outside Lin Manshu's house, the door opened, and a pair of white shoes appeared in the field of vision, and it was obvious that the feet were men's feet. Then a black umbrella appeared, and the people in the car came out under the umbrella. The rain falls on the umbrella and falls down the eaves of the umbrella into the ground, blending in with the wet ground.

The man stepped on the wet ground towards Lin Manshu's villa, his feet on the ground, splashing rain and hitting his white shoes. Walking to the door of the villa, he rang the doorbell.

Lin Manshu walked to the door of the villa with an umbrella and opened the door for the guests outside. The door opened little by little, and the man's figure was revealed in front of Lin Manshu little by little.

Looking down from the air, Lin Manshu played a white umbrella, and the man opposite held a black umbrella. They are black and white, creating a striking contrast. The soft light came on and hit them. There are a few yellow and green trees around, indicating that the current season is autumn, and the rain continues to fall, and the raindrops the size of beans fall on the umbrellas of two people of different colors, making a ticking sound, like a wonderful song.

"Why are you here?" asked Lin Manshu as she looked at the man in front of her.

Looking along her line of sight, the person opposite was Xiao Mubai. In the middle of this rainy night, I don't know why Xiao Mubai came?
