At this time, Ling Li sat in this small coffee house near her home, and was silent all the time.

When the mist rising from the cup in his hand gradually dissipated, Zhong Chengheng's face gradually became clear.

In the past eight years, she has met in court only a few times, and she feels that Zhong Chengheng has not changed much from a distance. However, closer to closer inspection, she found that he had changed a lot.

There were many wrinkles crawling in the corners of his eyes, and the sparkling brilliance of the year had long since disappeared in his eyes, and the undisguised edge of the past was now replaced by a decadence that was absent.

Ling Li lowered her head and pulled the corners of her mouth and sneered, even if she escaped the punishment of the law, escaped the death penalty or was imprisoned for a lifetime, but after eight years of imprisonment, even if she was as radiant as Zhong Chengheng back then, she would fall into the image of the frustrated middle-aged man in front of her.

For Zhong Chengheng, the proud son of the Son of Heaven, what he lost was far more than just eight years.

Seeing that Ling Li lowered her head and refused to speak, Zhong Chengheng spoke first: "Listen to Mina, you are now a lawyer." Don't you love plants? I thought you would take the botany exam at Funan University. ”

Ling Li turned her head to look out the window, and did not hide the coldness of her voice: "If such a big event happens at home, who can only focus on the exam." ”

Hearing her answer, Zhong Chengheng didn't seem to know how to answer, and was stunned for a while.

After a slight sigh, he spoke again: "You believe me, the real murderer is not me, and I am also in pain." ”

Ling Li turned her face and stared straight at him: "Why waste time acting, the procuratorate will no longer protest, you will be free forever." Instead of singing and fighting with me, it is better to plan how to attract media attention and get more state compensation. ”

These days, from time to time, there are news about Zhong Chengheng, what grievances have been in the end of eight years, the couple are deeply in love with each other, what time is fleeting, youth is no more, and there are even so-called sociologists who call on the state to allocate funds to help Zhong Chengheng start a new business, how bloody the headline is, how sensational, and how eyeballs are pulled.

Journalists need such topics to attract clicks, and Zhong Chengheng also needs to have momentum to gain greater benefits.

Hearing her talk about state compensation, Zhong Chengheng's eyes tightened, and his lips pursed and he was silent for a while.

Ling Li drank half of the tea before he spoke again.

He said: "You just have to think about what happened back then, I am a doctor, and if I want to kill someone, how can I use such a poison as *?" ”

Ling Li was staring at the desktop in a daze, and raised her eyes when she heard this: "Doctor Zhong, you are really dedicated." Could it be that you, as doctors, have to divide drugs for killing people? ”

Zhong Chengheng was stunned and shook his head: "I mean, if I want to kill someone, how can I use such a simple and crude method?" Even if you choose poisons, there are many options that leave no traces, such as ricin and amanitin toxin, how can you choose*? ”

Ling Li smiled coldly at his words: "Doctor Zhong, this is where you are smart, * This kind of simple and crude road goods will lead people astray. Isn't your final exoneration also because you can't find out the source of *? If it's the drugs you are talking about, where can ordinary people get them? Won't you fall into the net once it happens? ”

Her seemingly reasonable words, as well as the obvious mockery in her voice, made Zhong Chengheng speechless.

After a long while, he sighed and said, "I know you won't be able to understand it for a while. I haven't done that, so I'm not going to ask for your forgiveness. Just remember to give me a call if you need help with anything. ”

He took out a piece of paper from his pocket and pushed it in front of Ling Li: "This is my new number." ”

Ling Li didn't lift her eyelids, picked up the piece of paper, crumpled it into a ball, and threw it into the trash can under the table.

Zhong Chengheng was not angry, he asked the waiter for paper and pen, wrote another one, and still pushed it in front of her, but he didn't immediately take the hand that was open on the note.

He said slowly: "Xiao Li, I know that because the case was inconclusive, you have always insisted on not cremating the body, and the refrigeration fee is more than 100,000 yuan a year, and in two years, you have even sold the house in your hometown." Although I am penniless now, I will at least have a national compensation in the near future. If you encounter any difficulties, please let me know. ”

Hearing Zhong Chengheng talk about the house in his hometown, Ling Li's eyes darkened.

The small courtyard that witnessed the happy times of her youth, the clusters of verdant flowers and trees that accompanied her growth, have long been gone.

She has a little value in her hand, she has been sold or deceived in those years, and she has long been consumed, although her uncle can help out, but after all, she still has her own family.

Since she went to college, she has been running around for her tuition and living expenses, working part-time, and begging for student loans and places for extremely poor students, and she has lived a miserable and hard life.

But compared to the day when you can't keep the remains of your relatives and wait until the day when you are wronged, these hardships are nothing.

Ling Li was still stunned, and Zhong Chengheng said again: "In my life, the only woman I have ever loved is Xiaoling. She's gone, and I'm going to take care of you as a matter of course. Whether you misunderstand me or hate me, I will never leave you. ”

Hearing him say this, Ling Li's expression was indifferent and he didn't react at all.

Zhong Chengheng saw that she didn't want to talk anymore, and knew that it was useless to say anything now, so he got up and left.

When checking out at the bar, he looked back at Ling Li, who was sitting motionless at the table, and sighed a little.

Ling Li, it's really different from before. It's just that the stubbornness that comes out of the bones has not changed at all.

This is her most distressed sister, and her last closest relative in this world. I only hope that after crossing this hurdle, Ling Li can cheer up and don't experience the pain of mourning again.

Thinking of the person who had passed away a long time ago, his heart ached for a while.

Eight years have passed, but whenever he thinks of her, his heart is full of boundless remorse.

If she was willing to leave him at that time, if he was more decisive and dared to leave everything behind, if he could always insist on his tough attitude in dealing with their feelings......

It's a pity that there is no if, the Si people have passed away, and there is only remembrance.

He couldn't hide the gloom in his eyes, stood silently for a while, and then turned to leave.

Seeing Zhong Chengheng's back disappear into the vast night, Ling Li took a deep breath, drank the tea in the cheer cup, and got up to go home.

Coming out of the coffee house, only a few minutes away, it was so cold that Ling Li seemed to have been fished out of an ice cellar.

Shivered by the wind, but there was no heating in the house, the walls of the old house were not thick enough and not so insulated, and the dampness was everywhere, even if the doors and windows were closed tightly when he entered the house, Ling Li still didn't ease his breath for a long time.

She only felt that her blood was about to be coagulated, and immediately decided to take a hot bath to warm up.

After taking a bath, my limbs were warm, and I felt that I was alive again.

Ling Li put on her pajamas and found a hair dryer to blow her hair. The hum of the hair dryer made her want to sleep.

After a while, her hair finally dried eighty percent, she was a little impatient to be entangled with a green silk again, and she also hated the noise that made her tired, turned off the hair dryer and threw it aside, looking up at the inky night outside the window, and a trace of irritability surged in her heart.

She has never been able to treat Zhong Chengheng calmly, even if he is legally innocent. Think about the murderer you're going to face tomorrow......

Ling Li sighed, she really shouldn't force herself like this, forcing herself to face the injuries she had over and over again.

Carrying a breath on your back can certainly spur you forward, but being in such a bad mood really outweighs the loss.

Pacing sullenly to her desk, she picked up the notebook she was going to bring with her tomorrow.

As soon as I picked up the notebook, a pink leaf fell and fell gently on the table, exuding a soft brilliance under the cold white light.

This is the leaf vein bookmark that Nan Zhiyi gave her. Although she was crumpled by her, fortunately it was not broken, and after pressing it in the notebook for a few days, it finally returned to its original appearance.

Ling Li stood up, stared at the French plane tree that had lost its leaves outside the window in a daze, and then lowered her head, the soft pink floated into her eyes, and she only felt a slight warmth in her heart.

There are many people and things that can hurt her, but there are always more good people in this world.

Although Nan Zhiyi persuaded people to be really weird, which made her unspeakably awkward, but after all, it was a good intention.

And Lu Xiaoxiao always jokes that she is stupid, but she always lends a helping hand to her at critical moments, and she doesn't mind if she can give anything in return.

Thinking of these two people, Ling Li couldn't help but smile.

One is crazy, one is spicy, one is tall, one is pretty, and they are all top people in a million, whether they are talented or good-looking, they are very compatible.

Ling Li frowned, thinking seriously for the first time how to match these two people.

If you want the unobtrusive and super faceblind Nanda God to remember Miss Lu's name, you really have to waste some effort!
