144 Come to my house at night
The court finally sentenced Zhong Nan to death, and Lin Manshu only went out after hearing the results and met Zhong Nan outside. He walked in the direction of Lin Manshu, guarded by two bailiffs.
When the two met each other, they both stopped, and Zhong Nan said first: "I thought you wouldn't come." ”
"But here I am. Lin Manshu said.
"Why? Because you're the same person as me? We've all lost the people we love the most. Zhong Nan said.
"We've all lost the people we love the most, but we're not the same. I'll use legal means while you...... is an illegal existence. Lin Manshu said, her tone was cold.
After Lin Manshu finished speaking, she continued to walk forward, and she never looked at Zhong Nan in prison uniform.
Zhong Nan was taken by the bailiff to continue walking, and when he was rubbing shoulders with Lin Manshu, he suddenly stopped and asked, "When did you know that I was the murderer?"
Lin Manshu also stopped and replied without any tone: "I don't know." ”
It was already dark outside, and Lin Manshu sat at her desk and took out a document from the drawer, which contained some case materials from the time she was a lawyer for Zhong Nan's father, Zhong Shilin.
Flipping through the information, Lin Manshu saw the photo of the victim Wang Xinyue when she was killed. Lim Man-sook's eyes fell on the victim's hand in the photo, with a ring on her ring finger.
"The ring on the victim Wang Xinyue's ring finger is missing, was it taken away by you?"
This is when dealing with Zhong Shilin's case, Lin Manshu asked Zhong Shilin in the interrogation room of the police station, and at that time she was just trying to test Zhong Shilin on a whim, wanting to test whether Zhong Shilin was the murderer.
If he was the murderer, his answer would have been "I didn't take her ring." ”
But Zhong Shilin's answer was: "Yes, I took it and threw it away, she killed my daughter, but she got married and happy like this, I hate it." ”
"That's what I knew. Lin Manshu stared at the ring on the photo and said, which was an answer to Zhong Nan's question during the day.
"It's because I know that I choose to be his lawyer, because then I can keep his secret, because then I can give you a chance to repent. But you ......"
But you still chose a path of no return. Lin Manshu didn't say these words later. I just stared at the case information for a long time.
I don't know how long it took, Lin Manshu got up and walked to the shredder, and threw all the materials of the case into it one by one to shredd. This case, after a long time, has finally come to an end.
In the Supreme People's Court's death penalty review procedure, Zhong Nan still did not make any defense, and even refused the lawyer's defense, nor did he show a repentant attitude. He was charged with a very serious crime, brutally murdered five victims, and he still has no repentance, which is a great danger to society. In the end, the court sentenced Zhong Nan to death for immediate execution.
Why didn't Zhong Nan defend himself? Lin Manshu thought about this question and felt that he had nothing to love. In this world, his beloved mother, sister, and father left one after another, leaving him alone, and that loneliness was something he couldn't bear.
At that time, he still held the hope that his sister Zhong Ling would be resurrected, no matter how slim that hope was, hope was hope after all.
Now that there is no hope, everything is empty talk, and there is no hope for him to live. People are not afraid of death, nor are they afraid of difficulties, but they are afraid of losing hope.
It didn't take long for Zhong Nam to usher in the last day of his life. On this day, no one accompanied him except the police who carried it out. He suddenly felt melancholy that he had to leave so lonely.
Today's sun is very bright, and the sun casts thousands of golden rays, scattering its warmth to the earth without any scruples. Before the execution, Zhong Nan looked up at the sky, and the sunlight was too dazzling, so he didn't dare to look directly. But in the end, he still looked at the sun with his eyes open, and it was the last time in this life.
Zhong Nan likes the sunny weather, but he doesn't like the rainy day, and he feels that the sound of rain is too sad.
"I used to think it was too sad on a rainy day, but now it's a sunny day, why do I still feel sad?"
Gunshots rang out, breaking the silence. No one answered Zhong Nan's question, why is he sad? Maybe it's because his life is coming to an end. Didn't you say that you should leave without nostalgia, and why should you still be sad?
Lin Manshu sat in a rocking chair and closed her eyes to recuperate, so that it was easier to fall asleep while basking in the sun.
Now a long time has passed since the day Zhong Nan was executed, and before I knew it, the ginkgo biloba leaves were yellow, and autumn came again.
It's been two years, and it's been two years since Lin Manshu came to the city. She has experienced a lot of things in the past two years, and she has also changed a lot, the most obvious of which is that the smile on her face has become more.
When she used to sleep, Lin Manshu often frowned, or was very calm, and occasionally was disturbed by nightmares. Now in her dream, she has a shallow smile on the corner of her mouth.
"It seems that I had a good dream, and I was smiling. Xiao Mubai sat aside and watched Lin Manshu's quiet sleeping face.
The curvature of her eyebrows, the length of her eyelashes hanging down, and the angle of her lips are all deeply imprinted in Xiao Mubai's mind. Now, even if he closes his eyes, he can accurately draw Lin Manshu's eyebrows.
Xiao Mubai didn't notice it himself, and he didn't notice the look in his eyes when he looked at Lin Manshu, nor did he notice the happy smile that appeared on the corner of his lips.
Maybe Lin Manshu realized Xiao Mu's incandescent gaze in a dream and woke up. Her awakening was unforeshadowing, slowly opening. Xiao Mubai witnessed the process of her eyelids rising up little by little. Her eyes slowly revealed, from godless to godless.
"Wow, it's Sleeping Beauty. Xiao Mubai exclaimed.
Lin Manshu smiled lightly, maybe she wasn't fully awake yet.
After a while, Lin Manshu asked, "When did you come?"
Xiao Mubai thought for a moment and said with a smile: "When you are asleep." ”
"You've been waiting for a long time, why don't you wake me up. Lin Manshu said and sat up from the rocking chair.
"It's so beautiful, I want to see it a little more. ”
Xiao Mubai's answer with high emotional intelligence made the smile on Lin Manshu's face brighter, and she said, "Then you wait a while, I'll go change my clothes." ”
Today is a special day, the second anniversary of the two acquaintances. Originally, they didn't care about these details, and if every anniversary had to be celebrated, it would make both parties tired.
The second anniversary was also a whim, and when I suddenly thought of it, I planned to go out to dinner and watch a movie. These things are not special, they are considered daily.
The only difference is that after watching the movie. Since the afternoon, Xiao Mubai and Lin Manshu have been together all the time, and after all the schedules are over, it is already twelve o'clock in the evening.
At this time, they had just come out of the cinema. When I was dating, I watched a horror movie that was popular at the time.
Xiao Mubai and Lin Manshu walked side by side on the road, although it was early in the morning, the surrounding shops had not yet closed. Lazy lights shine out from inside the store to illuminate their path.
It wasn't a quiet night, maybe because the movie had just ended, and there were a lot of young couples around. They cuddle and hug in the streets, not caring about being seen.
Lin Manshu glanced a few times and found that everyone's faces were full of smiles. Maybe this is the power of love, which makes people smile unconsciously. From the passing window, Lin Manshu saw that she also had that smile on her face, which was a sweet smile unique to people in love.
Even if you don't do anything, even if you walk like this, you will have that kind of smile. Suddenly, Lin Manshu felt that she had become very ordinary, and like all the women around her, she was accompanied by a loved one. Unexpectedly, she felt that such ordinariness was good.
Ordinary happiness is also something that many people can't pursue in their lives. Lin Manshu felt that she was so lucky that she had obtained this ordinary.
She looked sideways at Xiao Mubai, whose side face was perfect, and it was even more charming under the illumination of the light. He held Lin Manshu's walk tightly and walked forward with Lin Manshu's footsteps.
I don't know how long this road will take, but Xiao Mubai hopes that it will be a lifetime, and he wants to accompany each other like this for a lifetime.
"How is it, are you afraid?" Xiao Mubai asked softly.
"I'm not afraid, I don't believe in ghosts and gods, so I feel fine. Lin Manshu replied.
Xiao Mubai pretended to be melancholy and said: "I can only hug you if you say you are afraid, what should I do now? My hands are stretched out, but you say you are not afraid." ”
Xiao Mubai stopped and opened his arms to make a hugging gesture. Lin Manshu smiled and threw herself into Xiao Mubai's arms without hesitation.
Xiao Mubai's smile unfolded suddenly, this is a sense of happiness that can't be concealed no matter what.
From this point of view, although Lin Manshu has a cold temperament, she is definitely a little woman in front of Xiao Mubai. Could it be that Xiao Mubai told her the phrase "be a little woman in front of me"? Or is there some hidden mystery in Lin Manshu's character?
"What are you going to do next?" Xiao Mubai asked.
Lin Manshu looked at her watch, it was already past twelve o'clock, and she asked, "Aren't you going home?"
"Back to your house or mine?" Xiao Mubai asked.
Lin Manshu smiled and said, "Of course, everyone has gone back to their own homes." ”
"Can't we be together?" Xiao Mubai asked again.
"Uh......" Lin Manshu didn't know how to answer for a while.
"What's the matter, are you scared after watching a horror movie?" Lin Manshu asked as she looked at Xiao Mubai's face.
"Just when I'm scared, can't I go back with me?" Xiao Mubai asked this question very seriously.
After the date, the man asks the woman to go to his house, and the next step is obvious. Although Lin Manshu is relatively slow in terms of feelings, she is already an adult, and she still understands this truth.
She looked at Xiao Mubai, didn't know how to answer for a while, and simply remained silent.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Xiao Mubai's expectations in his heart seemed to be disappointed, and asked, "Can't you?"
"Well, why not? It's not like I haven't been. Lin Manshu said suddenly.
In this way, Lin Manshu went to his house with Xiao Mubai.
