Chapter XV: Accountability

Inside the restrooms.

Jiang Suhe scrubbed his hands vigorously, and when he saw his wet and slightly embarrassed appearance in the mirror, he was very irritable.

"Why should the seniors be like this?"

Jiang Suhe turned his head and saw Wu Xiuzhong who was handing him the paper.

Wu Xiuzhong was also staring at Jiang Suhe who was silently wiping his hands with blazing eyes at this moment.

"Thank you. Jiang Suhe didn't look up, he was a little afraid to see the eyes of his junior, Wu Xiuzhong's integrity and firmness let him see himself back then, this sense of disparity made Jiang Suhe feel ashamed.

"Do you have time for the evening? I want to treat you to dinner. ”

"Yes. ”

Wu Xiuzhong was about to leave here after getting a satisfactory answer, but stopped at the door, "Anyway, congratulations to the senior for winning the lawsuit." ”

"Did you win, but why do I feel like I have failed so much?" Jiang Suhe looked at Wu Xiuzhong's back as he left.

The time goes back five hours.

Wu Xiuzhong watched the change in everyone's attitude weakly, he really didn't expect Jiang Suhe to start at such a tricky angle, and the matter had come to this point, he no longer had any hope of winning this trial.

Compared with the silence of the prosecution, Lin Zaixian seemed extremely excited, but because he was afraid of being in the courtroom, he swallowed the words on his lips stiffly, and looked at Jiang Suhe who was standing tall excitedly, and the excitement in his heart was incomprehensible.

The judge shook his head, as if his mind had already made a judgment on this ridiculous case.

Next, the court argument and defense went smoothly.

"Since the evidence in this case could not prove that the defendant was guilty of homicide, the defendant Lin Zaixian was sentenced"

"Not guilty. ”

The "knock knock" gavel fell.

Hearing the result of the trial, Lin Zaixian breathed a sigh of relief, and sank the heart hanging in his throat into his stomach, and when he saw Jiang Suhe who was slightly dull next to him, he only thought it was exhaustion.

In the end, he was acquitted. Jiang Suhe thought silently in his heart, "Another murderer under my command has seen the light of day." I'm really... Excellent. ”

Jiang Suhe finished sorting out the file and did not talk to Wu Xiuzhong, who was puzzled and angry, waved at him and left the courtroom.

Wu Xiuzhong rushed out and angrily grabbed Jiang Suhe who was marching.

"Senpai, why are you doing this?"

"Me?" Jiang Suhe looked at Wu Xiuzhong with an angry face.

"Yes, it's you, senior, why do you want to defend a murderer?"

"Because I'm a lawyer. Jiang Suhe raised his voice and shook off the arm that was wrapped around Wu Xiuzhong.

"The seniors knew that the direct evidence was in the hands of Lin Zaixian......" Wu Xiuzhong was interrupted by Jiang Suhe before he could finish speaking.

"So you're going to investigate! If you don't have enough evidence, why should you prosecute? Are you just going to blame others for your own faults after the trial is over?"

Jiang Suhe was also angry, and he thought of his former self.

There have been many cases like Lin Zaixian when he was a prosecutor, but the prosecutors in the same hall turned a blind eye, and when he went to investigate, he found that the evidence had long been invalid.

Seeing Wu Xiuzhong who came to him to complain, Jiang Suhe remembered the district prosecutor's hall that looked glamorous but was actually deceitful in the dark.

"Then why do you prosecutors want you prosecutors to act as a laughing stock and talking point for prisoners?"

"This society doesn't have justice to judge everything, do you understand?" Jiang Suhe coldly sarcastically mocked Wu Xiuzhong in front of him.

"Senpai, thank you, I see. ”

As the saying goes, reaching out and not hitting the smiling person, seeing Wu Xiuzhong who bowed deeply to him, Jiang Suhe couldn't get angry anymore, and strode out of here.

Lin Zaixian outside the door had been waiting for a long time, and his expression was no longer cowering, but raised his head and showed a smug smile.

"Hey, Lawyer Jiang, thanks to Lawyer Jiang this time, you deserve to be our good helper. Lin Zaixian held Jiang Suhe's hand a little arrogantly and shook it again and again, "There may be trouble for Lawyer Jiang in the future, we have a happy cooperation." ”

Jiang Suhe silently withdrew his hand, at this moment he just wanted to get out of here and wash the hands that had been shaken by the murderer, this kind of gratitude made him feel disgusted indeed.

But what can be done? It's a choice he makes.

Jiang Suhe raised his head, the sun in the sky was very big, but there was too much haze and too heavy, and the sun had to avoid the edge for the time being.

"Senior, you're still so punctual. Seeing Jiang Suhe, who was still half an hour away from the agreed time but appeared in front of him, Wu Xiuzhong gently admired.

"Let's order something to eat first, I'm a little hungry. Jiang Suhe didn't answer his words, sat down and picked up the menu.

"Well, you're still so blunt. Wu Xiuzhong said with a smile.

"It's not straightforward, it's just hungry. ”

Maybe he was really hungry, Jiang Suhe ate quickly, but he didn't seem to be in a hurry.

"Seniors are full, so fast, do you want to stop ordering something to eat?" Wu Xiuzhong was a little surprised.

"I used to work to save time, but I got used to it. Jiang Suhe wiped his mouth, "You didn't come to me just to eat, did you?"

"If you have something, just say it. ”

Looking at Wu Xiuzhong, who was still hesitating, Jiang Suhe pursed his lips, "Then I'll go." ”

Wu Xiuzhong hurriedly grabbed Jiang Suhe, who was getting up, "Don't, senior, I said." ”

Jiang Suhe signaled to him that he could start, and Wu Xiuzhong looked at Jiang Suhe cautiously, "Then you can't be angry after I ask." ”

"Why did the seniors leave the inspection hall?"

"Why don't you continue to be a lawyer?" Jiang Suhe asked rhetorically.

"Tired. ”

"Same. ”

"Senior, don't you feel guilty at all in your heart about today's case?"

"Guilt is something that isn't worth much. Jiang Suhyuk shrugged.

"To be honest, I really put a lot of effort into this case, and I was really unwilling to see Lin Zaixian so unpunished. Wu Xiuzhong bit his lip and looked at Jiang Suhe, who was sitting opposite.

Jiang Suhyuk just looked at him and didn't answer.

"Forget it, let's not mention this, how is the life of the seniors lately? Do you have a girlfriend?"

Hearing the word girlfriend, Kang Su-hyuk's face became a little weird, because he actually remembered a girl who lived next door.

Jiang Suhe hurriedly cleared up this charming thought, "It's okay." ”

"What about my girlfriend?"

"Nope. ”

"Then why did you hesitate for so long?" Wu Xiuzhong looked at Jiang Suhe with a suspicious expression.

Jiang Suhe coughed lightly, "I'm full, I'll go check out." ”

"Eh, senior, wait for me. ”

"Senior, the night in Seoul is getting darker, isn't it?" Oh so-jong kicked the stones under his feet, as if complaining to Kang So-hyuk.

Hearing Wu Xiuzhong's words, Jiang Suhyuk tightened his clothes, "It's that you have seen more and more places, and the night in Seoul has always been so dark." ”

"Senior, let's go buy a cup of coffee. Wu Xiuzhong pointed to the café not far away.

Jiang Suhe just wanted to refuse, but saw a familiar figure busy at the front desk.

"I'd better go, you wait here. ”
