Chapter 60: Peace
Ling Li is not from a law class, and the relatively weak weakness of his legal skills was exposed when facing Zhu Jinchuan's key attacks.
Even if it is a crime that is well known by heart, it is attacked by the three elements and the second level supported by the well-known criminal law.
She asked why she wanted to take such a controversial issue to the court, and Zhu Jinchuan raised her eyebrows and smiled: "You don't know? In recent years, the procuratorate system has been very respectful of Zhang Taidou? It is quite possible to take out these theories of his to stun you. ”
His well-founded words were speechless.
At eight o'clock in the evening, the cross-examination training ended. Ling Li sullenly packed up a large pile of scattered materials, even if she hadn't eaten for most of the day, she didn't feel hungry.
Just kidding, holding back my stomach, where do I still have the appetite to eat.
was hit again to the point that she had nothing to love, and once again all her weaknesses were placed naked in front of Zhu Jinchuan, which made her feel very bad.
obviously felt that he had made progress, but when he questioned it, he felt that he was still standing still, as if all his previous efforts were useless.
She sighed, looked down at the list of cross-examination questions that had been marked beyond recognition, and inexplicably gave birth to a kind of sadness that the road was long.
was depressed, and the sound of footsteps coming from behind him sounded. Ling Li turned around and saw Zhu Jinchuan leaning against the door with his arms crossed.
He was trained by him just now, and those heart-piercing words were still in his ears, Ling Li quietly pursed her lips and stood quietly waiting for him to give orders.
Zhu Jinchuan lost the aggressiveness that was full of thorns just now, and there seemed to be a faint smile on the corner of his mouth: "Do you have any arrangements for the night?" ”
Ling Li was a little stunned, and subconsciously shook her head.
He nodded lightly and whispered again, "Okay, please eat steak, are you interested?" ”
Unexpectedly, waiting for this, Ling Li stared at her round eyes with an "ah", and then immediately shook her head again.
Eating with Zhu Daxiang, who was in the period of rage, was such an exciting thing, and she couldn't play it.
The mental trauma of being scolded just now is not healed, and when she was sent to the door to be sprayed by him for another meal, she was not full and had nothing to do.
Unexpectedly, she simply refused, and Zhu Jinchuan had a somewhat surprised expression: "It seems that I scolded you again just now." Let's go, Second Sister Ling, I scolded you just now for being too fierce, please eat, and I apologize to you. ”
Ling Li still stood in place with an awkward expression, and didn't speak, just hugged his arms and squinted at him.
The rare displeasure and awkwardness in her eyes made him feel so good that he lowered his voice: "If you don't go, I'll tell Uncle Zhang about the cheating on me back then." ”
As soon as his words fell, Ling Li stomped his feet in annoyance: "Don't talk about this anymore, okay?" It's been almost 20 years, and even if you kill someone and set fire, the statute of limitations has passed, how can you be a barrister, why do you hold such a grudge? ”
Zhu Jinchuan glanced at her with a smile: "Ling Li, you have made a basic mistake again, who told you that the statute of limitations for prosecution is only twenty years?" ”
She was stunned when she heard this: "Ah, isn't it? Doesn't the Criminal Law expressly stipulate that if the maximum penalty is life imprisonment or death, the statute of limitations for prosecution is 20 years? ”
Zhu Jinchuan shook his head: "First, if the people's procuratorate, public security organ, or state security organ has already filed a case for investigation or the people's court has accepted the case, then the criminal act is not subject to the statute of limitations. Second, if the maximum penalty is life imprisonment or death, exceptions may be made if the Supreme People's Procuratorate finds that it should be pursued. Third, if a new crime is committed during this period, the statute of limitations shall be recalculated from the date on which the new crime is committed. ”
Ling Li couldn't help nodding when she heard it, and then she simply took out the notebook she was carrying, took out a pen again, and wanted to write it down, but suddenly a shadow fell on her head.
Before she came back to her senses, she was knocked twice on her head, and his voice was a little helpless in her ears: "What you can find in Baidu at hand, you need to write it down?" Are you stupid? ”
Ling Li couldn't help the fire in his stomach anymore, raised his head and was about to talk back, but he was dazzled by the smile that suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Zhu Jinchuan's voice was shallow, and he even breathed down a little: "Okay, second sister, after a hard day, aren't you hungry?" I'm dying of hunger, and now I want to eat meat in large chunks. But it's embarrassing to eat Western food alone, so it's good for you to be a good person. ”
It's not that I don't know if I haven't eaten well all day and I'm so hungry that my head is knotted, anyway, under Zhu Jinchuan's clever words, Ling Li really followed him.
After getting out of the car, I went straight up from the parking lot to the top floor of the building and sat down at the booth in the corner of the restaurant.
The restaurant is more intimate for guests, and the overall lighting is a little dim, but there is a beam of light directly above each table that illuminates the table, and the surrounding wine cabinet and counter with lampposts are a little brighter.
However, the other guests seemed to be a couple, or a family of parents with children, who seemed to be very intimate, and the two of them were incompatible, which made her feel very strange.
When I looked down again, there was a dark red rose on the table, and a few petals were scattered around, like a seat designed for couples. Ling Li frowned, simply selectively blinded and pretended not to see it, and glanced at Zhu Jinchuan opposite a little uncomfortably.
He was calm, looking down at the menu and whispering something to the waiter who was bent over waiting for him to order.
After a while, he closed the menu and handed it to the waiter, and asked Ling Li's opinion: "Tomahawk steak, Parma ham, lobster soup, Caesar salad, dessert is flame ice cream, no opinion?" ”
Ling Li shook her head, cherishing only one word like gold: "No." ”
She had long known that Zhu Jinchuan's place to eat couldn't be cheap, and she was mentally prepared, but when she saw the price just now, she was still startled, and she didn't dare to take a closer look at it, so she hurriedly handed it to the waiter and said to let Zhu Jinchuan order.
After confirming that the order was placed, the waiter turned around and left, while Zhu Jinchuan picked up the lemonade in front of him, and said in a leisurely voice: "I have wanted to try Tomahawk steak for a long time, but I can't finish it alone, so I pulled you this time, so as not to waste it." ”
Ling Li pretended to be calm and nodded, and raised the water cup to drink water to suppress the shock.
Her knowledge of Western food is limited to fast food, such as Pizza Hut and Hawkers, and this meal completely subverts the stereotype.
First, the appetizer and salad were served, the raw ham meat was as thin as paper, Ling Li sighed at the same time, but did not dare to eat, only silently bowed his head and ate the salad.
After that, a raw steak with marble veins was served, which made Ling Li's eyes widen. Yes? Still want to eat raw?
Fortunately, the waiter immediately said that this was the selected raw material for them to see, and immediately cooked it on the spot, Ling Li put his mind at ease, carefully looked at the piece of meat in front of him worth more than 3,000, and sighed a little.
It turns out that the so-called tomahawk steak is really a piece like an axe. A long rib that resembles the handle of an axe, and a thick piece of flesh attached to one end, in the shape of a semicircle like a stone axe, is a very vivid name.
It's just that this piece of meat seems a little too big, right? Can two people really finish eating?
Ling Li frowned and watched as Zhu Jinchuan instructed the waiter to bring the raw steak over and grill it.
He pushed the small stove on the table to her again and said, "In addition to the traditional black pepper juice and mushroom juice, there are also chili sauce and kimchi sauce that are special to the Celestial Empire, you can try it later." ”
The chef fried the steak on the spot, and it didn't take long for it to seem like the cooking process had been completed.
The raw meat, which had been red and white just now, was now a sauce-colored piece, and the surface was shining with the unique glow of the grease that had been grilled, steaming, and there were crystal oil beads on the face.
The chef showed the whole steak around, then took the knife and divided it into fist-sized pieces and served them on their plates.
Zhu Jinchuan said while cutting: "My habit is to eat three ripe, but considering that you girls generally don't like to eat bloody meat directly, this is five ripe, and the meat may be a little bit of firewood, so I will eat it." ”
Ling Li raised her eyes to see Zhu Jinchuan on the other side holding a knife and fork with ease, and she also learned from it. The steak is very easy to cut, but it is not difficult to operate, but the most central meat of the cut meat has a hint of powder in the pink, and some blood oozes.
Ling Li couldn't help frowning, uh, as a native of the Central Plains, he still couldn't accept this barbaric way of eating.
She barely lifted her fork and hesitantly put the small piece of meat covered in black pepper juice into her mouth.
However, after only one chew, Ling Li's eyes widened, and it was easy to endure the word "delicious" that was about to blurt out.
The taste is delicate, the meat is full of juice, there is no trace of fishy smell and moisture, only the rich aroma of meat overflows in the mouth, even if there is black pepper juice, it can't steal the limelight.
Ling Li sighed a little, sure enough, you get what you pay for. Compared with this piece of meat, the so-called authentic steak she had eaten before could only be taken and thrown away.
What's more, she used to eat fully cooked, compared to the texture that is so tender that it melts in her mouth now, the meat is so good that it can choke people to death.
After eating a small piece of steak in black pepper sauce, Ling Li tried alternative options such as chili sauce again, but it was not inconsistent at all, because the mouth was full of thick meat aroma, no matter what juice, it could only highlight the deliciousness of the beef.
It's just that the amount of steak is too big, and she is actually full for a long time, and she can't bear to waste it, so she has to eat it anyway.
The big piece of axe finally turned into a bone, lying quietly on the baking sheet, indescribably lonely.
When the waiter came to close the dishes, he first glanced at Ling Li, then bent down and asked in a low voice, "Can you serve dessert?" ”
Zhu Jinchuan nodded, and after a while, a chef came to their table with a cart.
I saw a small plate on the cart, and the same small ice cream in it looked like a bun, and the surface was poured with anti-clockwise chocolate-colored stripes.
The chef hunched slightly, took a spoonful of transparent liquid and poured it on the surface of the ice cream, and then held something and shook it on it, and suddenly a faint blue flame rose from the surface of the ice cream, and as the spoon in the chef's hand was raised, the flame became like a pillar, jumping high.
She didn't want to eat dessert after dinner, but when she saw this magical performance, she couldn't help but wonder what it should taste like.
She tried to take a small bite, and when she first tasted the wine, the ice cream with the taste of frosting spread in her mouth, and the rich layers made her taste buds, which were a little sluggish because she was too full, instantly sober up, and took a spoon and took small bites, and finally ate more than half of it.
When the waiter removed the plate and cleaned up the table, Ling Li touched his stomach, only to feel that his stomach was bulging, and even if he ate one more bite, his stomach would be burst.
She sighed: "The amount of food here is really large, and it is really not easy to finish it." ”
Zhu Jinchuan held the water glass and hung his face slightly, his expression seemed to be smiling.
After a while, he swallowed the water in his mouth and nodded: "The steak just now is more than a thousand grams, a whole two catties of meat, and the two of us can eat it, it is indeed not easy." A normal steak is generally about 250 grams per piece. ”
Ling Li nodded, suddenly calculated in her heart, and felt that something was wrong, and suddenly raised her eyes to look at Zhu Jinchuan.
A smile flashed in his eyes: "Why, I didn't tell you that the Tomahawk Steak is actually for four people?" ”
Ling Li only felt that there were 10,000 alpacas in her head galloping by, and she lost her basic language ability by stepping on her, and she really didn't know what to respond to him except for swearing.
He was still continuing to mend the knife: "It's really unseemly, look at your small size and big appetite." I originally meant that two people could eat a little less waste, but I didn't expect you to have a bite left. ”
After saying that, he hugged his arms, and even his eyes were dyed with a smile.
It's no wonder that the waiter's little brother had an eyeball-like expression on his face just now, probably marveling at where this is the king of big stomachs, eating a steak for almost three people by himself, right?
Ling Li's fist under the table clenched and relaxed, and after a while, he asked angrily, "Did you do it on purpose?" Why didn't you say it earlier? ”
Zhu Jinchuan leisurely turned the cup in his hand: "You didn't ask." ”
Under the soft light, his facial features also seemed to be indifferent and gentle, and there were stars in his eyes, which made Ling Li a little uncertain about whether his words were true or false.
However, when the corners of his mouth rose slightly to draw a somewhat narrow arc, Ling Li was 100% sure that he had been tricked, and he did it on purpose.
Seeing Ling Li's eyes glaring at the appearance of a bulging cheek about to run away, he knocked on the table: "You can even eat like this, if you don't change your temper, in the future, you will have to gain and lose." ”
Ling Li was immediately deflated when she said this. I wish Daxiang a clever tongue, and countless excuses for rectifying people, but in the end, it became her fault?
Ling Li looked at the sky speechlessly, he accidentally touched the road, and there were words of suffering. It seems that Zhu Jinchuan will not only set a trap for her at work, even if he eats a meal, he has to guard him strictly, and he can't relax at all.
After eating, it was already past ten o'clock. Zhu Jinchuan sent her downstairs, and before leaving, handed her a medicine bottle.
Ling Li took it without knowing it, and heard his voice that seemed to be smiling again: "Stomach Diet Tablets, eat some, don't choke, I won't be able to come to work tomorrow." ”
Seeing his car lights getting farther and farther away in the night, pinching the medicine bottle in his hand, Ling Li couldn't cry or laugh.
This Christmas Eve, who else can live more aggrieved than her?
