Chapter 13: Secret Talks
The little drunk cat Zhou Ziyu quietly fell asleep with the quilt in her arms, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, as if she was reminiscing about something, just like a white orchid quietly blooming.
Next door.
Jiang Suhe stared at the ceiling with his hands on his pillow, looking thoughtful.
Slowly, the light of the entire building became faint, leaving only one room with a faint flickering light.
Nothing was said all night.
…
A long dragon howls on the highway.
Jiang Suhe looked at the watch on his wrist and felt a little unhappy. I made an appointment to meet with my client Lin Jae-hyun today, but it seems that he is going to be late, which is not a trivial matter for a punctual lawyer.
Looking at the motionless traffic, Jiang Suhe sighed and leaned back in his chair.
An hour later, Zhoushan Prison.
A young man with a depressed expression was huddled in a corner, counting the time little by little.
"Lin Jaexian, your lawyer has come to you, and you have an hour to talk freely. ”
Hearing the cold voice of the prison guard, Lin Zaixian seemed to hear the sound of heaven.
He poked his head into the reception room, and after confirming that he saw a familiar face, he hurriedly rushed in, "Lawyer Jiang, you can count on it, I'm going to go crazy if I stay here for another day." Lin Jae-hyun held Kang Su-hyuk's hand and cried.
Jiang Suhe quietly withdrew his hand, "I'm sorry, I'm a little late today, let's start officially." ”
Lim Jae-hyun wiped his eyes, "Okay, lawyer nim." ”
"Let's talk about the specifics first. ”
"That's right, lawyer nim. Not long ago, my father passed away and my brother took over the company. ”
"I happened to be passing by the company that day, and I thought of picking up my brother to go home for dinner. On the way home, the car hit the mouth of the tunnel, and then my brother ......" Lim Jae-hyun seemed to be sobbing.
He died. ”
"After dealing with my brother's funeral, I was handling the handover of the company when I suddenly heard that someone from the prosecutor's office was about to issue an arrest warrant, so I wanted to leave Seoul quickly, but I didn't expect to be caught by them. ”
"Lawyer Jiang, you must help me, they said I killed my brother, but I was wronged. Lin Zaixian said one after another.
"So you wanted to run away without even looking at the arrest warrant?" Jiang Suhe turned his pen and looked at Lin Zaixian, who was a little weak-hearted.
"That's because..."
"You haven't been interrogated by the prosecutor yet, have you?" Kang Su-hyuk interrupted Lim Jae-hyun's explanation.
"Not yet, I told them to talk to my lawyer directly. ”
"It's not stupid. ”
"Mr. Lin, I'm not a prosecutor, you don't have to tell me those words that fool the officials. Jiang Suhe stood up and silently closed the door of the reception room.
"You weren't telling the truth. Jiang Suhe condescendingly looked down at the sweaty Lin Jaexian.
"Rest assured, no third person will know what is being said here. ”
Seeing Lin Jae-hyun's actions, Jiang Suhe felt that he had figured out the general situation of the incident.
"So your brother, you killed it. ”
Lin Zaixian was silent, looked at Jiang Suhe, who was scorching, and nodded slightly.
"I want to ask Lawyer Jiang to help me fight until I am not guilty. Lin Zaixian exhaled a long breath and said with some relief.
"It should have been so honest a long time ago. Jiang Suhe smiled, with some unclear meaning in his smile, "Now we can talk about the situation at that time." ”
"At that time, after picking up my brother in the car, I drove to the location I had planned, and there were no extra people there. ”
"My brother fell asleep soon after getting in the car, and I carried out the plan smoothly without any witnesses. Lim Jae-hyun's deep voice made the dust in the air fly more actively.
"I heard that you refused an autopsy, since it was a traffic accident, why didn't you do an autopsy?" Jiang Suhe looked at the records on the case file, a little puzzled.
"Because he didn't die in a traffic accident. ”
"What?" Jiang Suhe looked at Lin Jae-hyun who was slowly speaking in surprise.
"Traffic accidents are easy to handle, but they're not insured, are they?"
"So you ......"
"Potassium cyanide. I used potassium cyanide. Lin Jae-hyun looked a little proud.
"I see, then it all makes sense. Jiang Suhe rubbed his frowning brow, "I can guarantee you out later, let's go meet the judge first." ”
Lin Jae-hyun agreed excitedly, his face a little red.
…
"It's still fresh air outside, right, Lawyer Jiang?" Lin Jae-hyun took a big breath and followed Jiang Suhe's footsteps closely.
Soon, outside the Seoul Jung-gu District Court.
"It seems that this time the judge is not a good bone to gnaw. Jiang Suhe recalled the scene of being turned away just now, and couldn't help but shake his head.
"Then what should I do, Lawyer Kang?" Lim Jae-hyun looked at Kang Su-hyuk in contemplation worriedly.
"Then go through the normal procedure, it's not a big difference. When the court is in session, you don't have to dress so low-key, remember that you are not a prisoner now. ”
"Don't worry, please take care of me during this time. ”
Late at night.
Jiang Suhe was still sitting at his desk and preparing for the trial, when he saw the signature in the lower right corner of the evidence catalog submitted by the prosecution, he was a little stunned.
"Wu Xiuzhong?"
"Is he a prosecutor?" Jiang Suhe vaguely remembered that Pei Suxian's father's case was defended by him.
Thinking of this younger junior, Jiang Suhe couldn't help but look forward to meeting him in a few days.
…
Jiang Suhe finally removed the bandage on his hand, Zhou Ziyu sat next to him and observed his right hand in detail, and patted Jiang Suhe's shoulder happily, "Uncle's recovery ability is really good." ”
"Then do I have to wear the tie myself?" Jiang Suhe laughed at the easily shy girl in front of him.
"Of course, remember that this is the last time. Zhou Ziyu skillfully flipped the tie in his hand.
"Come on, uncle, remember to win. Zhou Ziyu waved his small fist and cheered for Jiang Suhe.
"Just do your best, there's nothing you can't win. Jiang Suhe looked in the mirror with satisfaction, "However, I will do my best." Jiang Suhe also waved his fist and responded to Zhou Ziyu with a wink.
Lin Zaixian seemed to be entering the courtroom for the first time, sweat on his face, nervously looking around, a little afraid of the solemn atmosphere here.
"Don't be nervous. Jiang Suhe gently patted Lin Zaixian's hand, which gave Lin Zaixian a lot of comfort.
"Lawyer Nim, will we win?"
"You go there. ”
"We're going to win. Lin Jae-hyun read softly, sighing at Jiang Suhe's self-confidence.
"Now for the trial. All stand up!"
Jiang Suhe looked at Wu Xiuzhong, who was full of confidence standing opposite him, and a fighting spirit that he had not seen for a long time rose from the bottom of his heart.
"The prosecutor is invited to read out the indictment. ”
Wu Xiuzhong glanced at Jiang Suhe and Lin Zaixian, who were at ease, and slowly read out the complaint.
“…… Therefore, the prosecution indicted the defendant Lin Zaixian for homicide under Article 250 of the Criminal Law. ”
"Defendant Lin Zaixian, do you admit the facts and charges charged in the indictment?"
"Charges against the Prosecution"
Jiang Suhe looked at Wu Xiuzhong with sword light.
"All denied. ”
