When Xiao Hanyu went home, Lin Manshu had already returned after collecting evidence, she was lying on the rocking chair in front of the window, and the sunlight leaked in from the floor-to-ceiling window, illuminating the entire living room. Xiao Hanyu leaned against the wall with her hands on her chest, looking at Lin Manshu, her eyes were slightly closed, the sun fell on her hair, and the flaxen hair color looked even better.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Lin Manshu said and slowly opened her eyes.

"Did you wake you up?" asked Xiao Hanyu.

"Didn't fall asleep. Lin Manshu replied briefly.

Xiao Hanyu looked at the bright sunshine outside the window and said, "The sun is very warm today, and it is very comfortable to sleep in the sun, why don't you sleep for a while?"

Lin Manshu got up from the rocking chair, rubbed her eyes with her fingertips, and said, "I can't sleep." ”

This "can't sleep" caused Xiao Hanyu's pity for Lin Manshu, since that incident, she has always been unable to sleep peacefully, and can only rely on medicine to maintain sleep. It was also because of that incident that the relationship between Lin Manshu and her parents deteriorated to the extreme, and it was difficult to even see each other.

"What if...... I mean, if your parents come to you, will you meet them?" asked Han Yu tentatively.

"No, it won't. Lin Manshu almost did not hesitate, and said firmly.

Seeing Lin Manshu's firm attitude, Xiao Hanyu knew that no amount of persuasion was useless, and said, "Okay, if you don't see it, you won't see it." ”

Although Xiao Hanyu's words did not arouse Lin Manshu's suspicion or displeasure, they evoked those old stories. Broken glass, stumbling furniture, messy floors, cursing women, men's roars, children's cries......

When Lin Manshu's mind was filled with these memories, the hand on her lap trembled strongly. When she realized that her hands were trembling, she slowly lifted her up and reached out in front of her, and her hands trembled even more visibly under the swagger of the sun.

Xiao Hanyu, who was still leaning on the wall leisurely, saw Lin Manshu's hands trembling in the sun, his face immediately changed, he hurriedly walked to Lin Manshu's side, squatted down, and asked, "Are you okay?" ”

Lin Manshu smiled self-deprecatingly, there was still a little sadness in this smile, she said: "I thought I was fine, I wouldn't be afraid anymore, I thought I could forget, but I ...... Still scared. ”

Saying this, Lin Manshu's hands trembled even more, and Xiao Hanyu could feel the fear that arose spontaneously from the bottom of her heart. He reached out to hold Lin Manshu's hand and said, "I'm sorry, I was wrong, I shouldn't have mentioned that to you." ”

"Don't think about those things anymore, don't think about it, okay?"

After Xiao Hanyu held Lin Manshu's hand, the trembling was much smaller, and Lin Manshu's emotions slowly eased. Such Lin Manshu made Xiao Hanyu feel distressed.

No matter how hot the sun is and how warm the weather is, Lin Manshu is always in the cold winter, her heart is cold, and there is a withered wasteland everywhere.

Xiao Hanyu hopes that one day someone will be able to push open the door of Lin Manshu's confined heart, let the sun shine in, and melt the ice in her heart. But who is that person, and when will he open the door of Lin Manshu's heart?

A hand pushed open the door, and the golden sunlight shone behind him, and he walked to the window and sat down with steady steps.

"It turns out that the view from the window is so good, no wonder Mr. Lin often chooses a window seat. ”

After Xiao Mubai sat down, he turned his gaze to the window, looking at the crowd of people coming and going outside the window and the endless flow of convoys, Xiao Mubai sighed.

Speaking of Lin Manshu, Xiao Mubai opened the photo album of his mobile phone with a smile, and the first photo was a photo of him and Lin Manshu walking hand in arm, and when he saw the photo, the smile on Xiao Mubai's face deepened.

When Xiao Mubai was looking at the photo, Chen Li passed by the window, happened to see him, knocked on the window from the outside, and wanted to attract Xiao Mubai's attention, but Xiao Mubai didn't react at all.

"What's going on? Can't you hear me?" Chen Li muttered, and continued to walk towards the restaurant, where he and Xiao Mubai had made an appointment to eat.

After Chen Li entered the restaurant, he went straight to Xiao Mubai's seat and snatched his mobile phone from behind Xiao Mubai.

"Look at what? so seriously. After Chen Li snatched Xiao Mubai's mobile phone, he turned around and walked to sit down opposite Xiao Mubai.

When Xiao Mubai reacted, Chen Li had already sat down opposite, he reached out to grab the phone, but Chen Li held it far away, so that he couldn't reach it.

"Give it to me. Xiao Mubai said.

Chen Li made a smug face and said, "Don't give it, come and beat me." ”

Seeing his unbeaten expression, Xiao Mubai almost beat him.

"Mom, are you two really together?" Chen Li looked down at his phone, and saw the photo of Xiao Mubai and Lin Manshu holding hands, and stood up from the chair in surprise.

Chen Li's reaction was too big, causing the people around him to look sideways, Xiao Mubai said with disgust: "Can you be quieter?"

Chen Li smiled apologetically when he saw the strange looks cast by the people around him, quickly sat down in his seat, and quietly asked Xiao Mubai, "Are you two really together?"

"What are you together...... Xiao Mubai said and snatched back his mobile phone, explaining: "It's just acting." ”

"Aren't they together? Then why are you keeping this photo, are you some kind of nymphomaniac?" Chen Li expressed disgust at this stupid behavior.

"What a nymphomaniac, this photo is all evidence, maybe it will be used in the future, so I left it. Xiao Mubai argued.

Chen Li didn't eat Xiao Mubai's set at all, and ruthlessly debunked: "You obviously stared at this photo for a long time just now, and you were smiling...... It's just that the wrinkles are almost laughing. ”

"I'm not smiling because I see this photo, it's because I already have a smiling face, and I usually smile happily. Xiao Mubai said, as if to prove it, he pushed the corner of his mouth with his hand, revealing a very standard smile.

However, his explanation was still ignored by Chen Li, and he asked, "Since you like Lawyer Lin so much, you will definitely go to see the court next week." ”

Lin Manshu's retrial case is scheduled for next Tuesday. On this day, many people arrived at the scene, Xiao Mubai, Xiao Hanyu, and Shen Lingshan sat side by side in the viewing seats, and the other positions were also full of people, half of whom were media reporters. It can be said that this case has attracted the attention of the whole city, and it has earned enough eyeballs in the first and second trials, and now it has changed to a lawyer who has never lost a lawsuit to play a retrial case, which has aroused the public's interest.

"Recently, we have found decisive evidence on the basis of re-examining the file and investigating the case. A year ago, the police who handled Xu Yingying's case found a man's hair on the victim's body, and the test showed that this DNA did not match the DNA of our client, proving that Xu Yingying's death had nothing to do with our client, and asked the court to immediately lift the coercive measures against our client, Liu Maoguo and Zhang Jiahong. Lin Manshu said in an orderly manner, took out the DNA test report that was placed on the table in advance, and showed it to everyone.

"Presiding Judge, during the previous exchange of evidence before the trial, the defense did not submit a DNA test report, and we suspect that it deliberately concealed the evidence, and ask the court not to accept this evidence. The prosecutor for the prosecution stood up and said, intending to refute the evidence presented by Lim Man-sook. If the evidence is rejected, it will become invalid evidence and lose its probative force.

The DNA test report is the key evidence to overturn the previous trial, and Lin Manshu naturally will not let it go easily, saying: "This evidence was discovered not long ago, and the results have not been detected at the time of cross-examination, and the results have not been obtained until today, so it was not explained during the cross-examination." ”

Theoretically, before the court commences trial, there will be a time limit for the presentation of evidence, and both parties must provide evidence within the time limit, and if the parties fail to provide evidence within the time limit, the people's court shall order them to explain the reasons; if they refuse to explain the reasons or the reasons are not sustained, the people's court may, according to different circumstances, refuse to admit the evidence, or accept the evidence but give a reprimand or a fine.

However, Lin Manshu has already explained the reasons for delaying the submission of evidence, and this evidence is the key evidence in the case, so the court has no reason to reject it again.

"The murder case of the top student in the college entrance examination a year ago has been settled so far, and the lawyer of this retrial case, Lin Manshu, has found key evidence to prove the innocence of the suspect and maintain her title of a winning general......"

As soon as the verdict of the case was announced, the news had already come out, and Lin Manshu once again maintained a record of victory, and the media hype greatly increased Lin Manshu's popularity. The suspects Liu Maoguo and Zhang Jiahong successfully cleared the suspects, and the criminal Xu Qiang was also arrested by the police. The case, which lasted for a year, has finally settled.

In the corridor outside the courtroom, Lin Manshu met the presiding judge of the case, who was a very dignified elder, probably in his fifties. Both stopped when they met.

"The last time you handled the case you were responsible for was seven years ago, and when we meet again, your defense style is still admirable. Presiding Judge Xie Shijie said first.

"I am also impressed by your impartiality in handling cases. The presiding judge was neither humble nor arrogant, and said calmly.

The presiding judge smiled and said, "It's a pleasure to see you again, and I hope to see your wonderful defense in the future." ”

"The presiding judge, too, must always handle cases in such an impartial manner. Lin Manshu said that Xie Shijie is one of the more respected presiding judges of Lin Manshu.

Xie Shijie nodded, his eyes saw Shen Lingshan and the others not far away, and said to Lin Manshu: "Your partner is waiting for you, go first." ”

Lin Manshu turned around and saw Shen Lingshan and the other three, bowed slightly to Xie Shijie, and said, "After the state compensation for this case is over, I will definitely visit in person." ”

Although the parties in this case have been released, it still involves the issue of state compensation for wrongful convictions, and at this time, it is better not to be too involved with the judge of the case, so as not to be questioned by both parties.
