In early spring, it is very warm, and the golden rays of the sun shine through the glass and sprinkle on the table by the window, which also illuminates the room. The flowers on the table are blooming just right, revealing the breath of spring. Xiao Mubai and Xiao Hanyu sat facing each other, and their side faces looked particularly handsome in the sun.

"This is Cui Hao's information. Xiao Mubai handed the file bag to Xiao Hanyu.

That's right, the two of them met today to hand over information. The two are working together to uncover the truth about Xiao Hai's death twenty years ago. When Xiao Mubai and Xiao Hanyu were in the police academy, they were both leaders in the school, with their dedication to the facts of the case and perseverance in the truth...... At least in these respects, their philosophy is the same. In addition, they have many things in common, such as their relationship with this case, but now they don't know about it.

After opening the file bag, Xiao Hanyu found that there was only one piece of paper inside, and looked at Xiao Mubai in surprise and asked, "Only this one?"

"Be content. This was only obtained after the director opened the authority, otherwise he would not even have this piece of paper. Xiao Mubai replied.

"You can't find this person with the authority of the director?" Xiao Hanyu was a little surprised by this conclusion, and muttered: "Who is this person?" ”

"It stands to reason that he is a reporter from the provincial TV station, and he should be very famous, but I can't find any news about him. What's even stranger is that the date of his disappearance is the same day as my father's death. Xiao Mubai said.

Hearing him say this, Yu Hanyu hurriedly checked the date on the information, which showed that it was October 21, 1996, which was the same day as the date of Xiao Mubai's father's death.

"Oh yes, that's weird. Looks like I'm going to use some special tricks to find out about this guy. ”

As he spoke, Hanyu got up and left, ready to go back to check. However, he suddenly thought of something, sat back down, and asked Xiao Mubai: "But then again, you and Manshu really don't plan to reconcile?

It's okay not to mention this, Xiao Mubai sighed deeply after mentioning it, and it could be seen from his expression that he was also very entangled in this matter.

"Although I don't plan to give up, but that incident is indeed our disagreement, she has her insistence, and I also have things that I can't give up, so I really haven't figured out how to deal with it. ”

"Don't be angry when I say something, in my opinion, it's your fault. You don't know Man-sook at all, and you still say that kind of thing, it's really ...... If I were Manshu, I wouldn't have told you so much at all, just get started. ”

Xiao Hanyu's words didn't sound like persuasion, but more like blame. But he is also for the good of Xiao Mubai and Lin Manshu. The only way to resolve the difference is to let Xiao Mubai understand the reason why Lin Manshu did this. But Lin Manshu herself can't explain, so she can only be told by Xiao Hanyu, an insider.

"Besides, this case was not taken by Manshu herself, it was just voluntary labor, so why should you blame her?"

"Voluntary Labor...... What does that mean?" Xiao Mubai asked puzzled.

Xiao Hanyu looked at Xiao Mubai, shook his head and said, "Hey, so you don't know Manshu." Manshu is a volunteer lawyer at the Legal Aid Center, and the Chinese New Year's Eve murder case was assigned to her by the Legal Aid Center, not by herself. ”

"She's not the kind of lawyer who can give up her conscience for the sake of money, and your words that day were too much. Xiao Hanyu continued.

"Of course I know that, I was so excited that I said the wrong thing. But she's also too good, and it's so sad to say that it's just a relationship of acquaintance. ”

There were many unpleasant conversations that day, but what made Xiao Mubai sad and concerned the most was Lin Manshu's sentence "It's just a relationship of acquaintance". I don't know how annoyed Xiao Mubai was by this sentence.

Xiao Hanyu explained for Lin Manshu: "She has always been this kind of character, and you don't know it." Besides, who let you touch the scar on the bottom of her heart. ”

"The scar in my heart?

Xiao Hanyu didn't bother to explain them one by one, he felt that this kind of thing would be more real if he saw it with his own eyes, so he wrote an address to Xiao Mubai and said, "Come to this place the morning after tomorrow, remember to wear black clothes." This is your last chance to get to know Man-sook. ”

After finishing speaking, Xiao Hanyu left, Xiao Mubai looked at the address on the note in his hand, and asked suspiciously: "Cemetery, what are you doing there?"

In the early spring of March, everything grows, and everywhere is filled with a warm atmosphere. At this time, the cold northern snow melts, the trees and flowers begin to sprout, and the originally mild south, the flowers and bones are pregnant with a beautiful figure under the sun. What a nice weather. Lin Manshu was wearing a black suit, and the makeup on her face was also very plain. She remembers that the spring of eight years ago was also so bright. In such bright weather, she received the news of the death of a young man in the prime of her life. But in that cruel way......

"Lin Huijing's autopsy results came out, and he was hit with sticks in multiple places on his body, fatally wounding his head. In addition to this, he had multiple old wounds on his body, which were initially inferred to be beaten to death. ”

Lin Manshu stood in front of Lin Huijing's tomb, the surrounding environment was very good, the road was lined with tall plane trees, the sun's rays fell on the smooth road through the dense road, and the fine dust hidden in this world could be seen under the halo.

Xiao Mubai and Xiao Hanyu stood in the distance and watched Lin Manshu, they secretly followed. Looking from behind, Lin Manshu's back looks a little thin.

"Do you know how Hui Jing died?" asked Xiao Hanyu.

"I heard that he died in prison, but the exact reason is not clear. Xiao Mubai replied that he didn't understand why Xiao Hanyu suddenly asked this.

"Because of the illegal use of violence by prison guards, Hui Jing was beaten to death. ”

Xiao Hanyu and Lin Manshu are childhood sweethearts, and naturally they also know Lin Huijing, in his eyes, Lin Huijing is a sensible and likable younger brother, and he died in such a way, and Xiao Hanyu is also very heartbroken.

After listening to Xiao Hanyu's words, Xiao Mubai suddenly understood why Lin Manshu was obsessed with solving the Chinese New Year's Eve murder case according to the rule of exclusion of illegal evidence, she was not biased in favor of the criminal, nor did she want to embarrass the police, let alone gain any benefits from it. It's just because this case reminds her of her younger brother who died after being illegally used by the police.

"It's too angry to do that. Didn't you read the case materials? That scumbag, unexpectedly...... With such cruel means, because they were too angry, the Wei team would do it. ”

"Also, you don't understand how it feels when the prisoner we have captured with all our lives is justified by you eloquent lawyers. ”

"Because you're a lawyer, do you defend criminals, no matter how bad their behavior is. ”

Xiao Mubai remembered the cruel words he said to Lin Manshu that day, and said with great annoyance: "Alas...... What the hell am I talking about? I don't know anything. ”

"That's right, that's why Man Shu said that she only knew you, because she didn't understand each other. Xiao Hanyu said.

Xiao Mubai was silent, and he also realized that he was at fault for this matter. Looking at Lin Manshu's thin back, she was very distressed, she should be very sad.

"Do you know how Man-sook reacted when she learned that her brother had been killed?" asked Hanyu.

"I think it's very sad, and I will cry so hard that it seems that the whole world has collapsed. Xiao Mubai said.

The last time he saw Lin Manshu crying so much that he couldn't even breathe. It was still seven years later when I thought of Lin Huijing's death, I cried so sadly, and when I learned the news, I would only be even more sad.

"Didn't cry. Xiao Hanyu replied.

Xiao Mubai cast a questioning look, how could he not cry?

Although she wanted to cry, she held back. began to collect evidence, and wanted to make the person who killed Huijing fall under the law. But...... The road was so long, like walking on a deserted street on a vast winter night, with no companions and no backup. ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Hanyu's tone changed, maybe he felt too sorry for Lin Manshu at that time. She is fighting alone, hitting walls everywhere but still not giving up, which makes people feel distressed.

"Of course you have to be punished for killing someone, why is this so difficult?" Xiao Mubai asked puzzled.

Xiao Hanyu smiled, with helplessness in his smile, and said: "Because of favoritism, colleagues favor colleagues, superiors favor subordinates, and there are countless connections between officials and officials. In that way, the road of redress that would have been easy became extremely difficult under their protection. No one dared to do an autopsy on Huijing, no one issued an injury report, all the monitoring, recording, and proof...... It's all gone. They even wanted to fake Hui Jing's death as suicide. ”

But she persevered and finally brought the prison guards who killed Hui Jing to justice. ”

Xiao Mubai heard of these things for the first time, and it turned out that Lin Manshu had gone through such a difficult period. The loss of my brother is sad enough, but I still have to experience the malice of this world. She must have been disappointed in the world at that time.

Now Xiao Mubai somewhat understands the reason why Lin Manshu said that she hates the police the most. At the time, he thought it was a joke, but now that he thinks about it, he thinks that she has a reason to hate it.

Fortunately, in those difficult moments, with Xiaohanyu by her side, she was not really fighting alone. Thinking of this, Xiao Mubai suddenly had an idea, could it be that Xiao Hanyu was expelled from the police academy and had something to do with this incident? !

"Perhaps, does your expulsion from the police academy have anything to do with Manshu's younger brother?" Xiao Mubai asked.

Being expelled from the police academy is a sad thing for Hanyu, and he is sad how much he wants to run to the scene of the crime. But sad is sad, but he will not regret it. I even feel that it is the most correct decision I have made in my life.
