Qi Wan deliberately shouted out that Ling Li and Zhu Jinchuan had known each other for a long time, which made many people in the institute have some opinions about Ling Li, and this incident made him a little vigilant.

And at this time, she suddenly turned out what happened more than ten years ago, and even said it in a threatening tone, as if she was an insider, and couldn't help but wish Jinchuan not to pay attention to it.

There are very few people who know about that, where did Qi Wan find out about it?

Also, this girl of the same age as Ling Li, after he searched the memories in his mind, he didn't have the slightest impression.

Where exactly did she come from? What is it for? What was the reason why she had to be on the same page with Ling Li?

He rubbed his temples and felt a little irritable.

By the time he came back to his senses and was ready to leave work, it was already seven o'clock in the evening.

Closing the door and turning around, he unexpectedly saw the figure of Ling Li sitting in his seat in a daze, and the tight string in his head suddenly loosened.

She just sat in front of the computer blankly, her face was reflected a little weirdly by the screen, and her eyebrows and eyes were wrinkled, and she didn't know what she was struggling with.

Whenever she's struggling with something, it's going to be this ridiculous look,

The moment he saw her, the strings that were tense in Zhu Jinchuan's mind just now suddenly loosened.

Walking to her desk, Zhu Jinchuan tapped her table, and then asked, "Don't you want to leave?" ”

Ling Li looked up when she heard the voice, a little confused, and subconsciously shouted: "Master." ”

Then there was excitement on his face: "Can you make a certificate, I want to go to the first floor to watch the surveillance video?" ”

Zhu Jinchuan looked sideways, his expression was a little surprised, but his voice was extremely soft: "Second sister, do you want to find out how Qi Wan framed you?" Don't think too much, I'll go to court tomorrow and have a good rest today. ”

Ling Li shook her head: "It's not today's thing, I have some things I want to figure out." ”

The seriousness and seriousness in her eyes were sitting and looking up at him, her eyes were like paint, clear and clean.

His heart suddenly softened a little. After that, he pursed the corners of his mouth, picked up a blank piece of paper, and handed her the pen that had written the note in less than a minute.

When is it, she is going to watch the surveillance again, and she is probably still worried about Qi Wan's hands and feet, wanting to find out the clues of how Qi Wan did it.

"Go ahead, don't affect the court tomorrow. Qi Wan's matter, I see it in my eyes, don't be distracted, do your own thing. ”

Ling Li nodded and began to pack up the office supplies on the desktop.

And the moment he was about to go out, Ling Li suddenly shouted behind him: "Master." ”

"Huh?" Zhu Jinchuan turned around, "Is there anything else?" ”

She bit her lip and seemed to have made up her mind: "Master, that ...... You can...... Can you slap me? ”

"Huh?" Rao is Zhu Jinchuan has always been calm, and he was also stunned by her request.

He thought that she would complain or complain next, but unexpectedly, she made such a nonsensical request.

Seeing Zhu Jinchuan's surprised expression, Ling Li hurriedly explained: "The slap I received the day before yesterday, the seal has faded a lot today, and I am afraid I won't be able to see it tomorrow." ”

Zhu Jinchuan didn't answer, only motioned for her to continue.

She was a little surprised: "I think, if I come to court with a slap print, intentionally or unintentionally, saying that the seal was fanned by the victim's family, will the judge be able to give some sympathy?" ”

"What do you want!" Zhu Jinchuan laughed: "When it comes to such a big issue as whether to change the verdict, whether you will be slapped or not will have nothing to do with whether the judge will adopt the opinion of the procuratorate." What's more, this case has to be brought to the trial committee. Could it be that you are still going to inquire about the day when the review committee will be held, and then you will slap it around? ”

"Is that so?" Ling Li tilted her head and thought about it, and then she didn't give up: "I want to try, is it okay?" ”

Zhu Jinchuan was even more helpless: "Ling Li, don't you hate the defendant in this indecent case very much?" Why do you have to be slapped? Ling Li pursed her brows and furrowed: "Didn't you say that no matter how heinous the defendant is, as a lawyer, you have to find ways to exonerate him." ”

Zhu Jinchuan was stunned for a moment: "It's so simple? ”

"Hmm." Ling Li nodded and looked up at him.

He shook his head, amused.

The little rookie in front of him, who has never been favored by others, is not as capable and independent as Lu Xiaoxiao's capable and independent elite momentum, not as good at figuring out people's hearts as Qi Wan alone, and even inferior to Xiaocheng at the front desk who is quick and agile.

However, it's still this tendon and a little nerd who is not guarded against people, although she is worried about her being bullied and calculated at any time, and he can't rest assured everywhere, but at least I know that she is sincere to you, and she doesn't hold grudges and has no calculations, and you can rest assured that you can give her your back at all times.

No matter how stupid she is, she is also her own child, and she is also the second sister Ling who he watched grow up.

At the same time, she is also her sister.

Thinking of that shadow, the memory that had been silent in his heart rolled out, and his heart ached slightly.

When he woke up from the memories and saw Ling Li, who was still sitting on the chair and looking at him stupidly, Zhu Jinchuan couldn't help but raise his hand and rub her hair: "Okay, don't think about it, go home and have a good rest, empty your head and don't think about anything, just go to court tomorrow according to your ideas." Trust me, win or lose, I'm on your side.

When I got home from the office, it was already ten o'clock in the evening.

Ling Li put down her bag, wiped the sweat beads on her head with a towel, and took a look at her mobile phone after sitting on the sofa, and found that the WeChat group was chatting again.

However, her heart was full of things, and at this time she was not in the mood to watch other people's gags and love and kill each other, pretending that she couldn't see anything.

After getting off work, she went to the first floor with Zhu Jinchuan's autograph, and after a lot of words, she finally browsed all the monitors in every corner she wanted to see, and finally determined some of the things that had been bothering her these days.

And today, she was supposed to take care of Mi Li Guli, but she delayed the scheduled trip for this matter, and temporarily asked Taoxing to walk the dog, which delayed her evening class.

Therefore, this heart is tired and physically tired, and I really don't want to move at all, let alone deal with the more and more outrageous chat style in the WeChat group.

The spicy fried flower nail is probably crazy, and these days I will send a private chat to poke her every day: "Little tomato, how are you thinking about it?" ”

To say that there was still some ambiguity and cuteness before, but being mixed by her, there was no embarrassment, no shyness, and the rest was powerlessness and sighing.

No matter how the unreliable two people of the Lao Tian family mess up the mandarin duck spectrum, Nan Zhiyi and her Ling Li are not all the way after all.

Sun Rui back then, but a student union president, had already flattered Ling Li, not to mention being replaced by a doctoral supervisor who was almost at the top of the food chain on campus.

Rookies and scientists are not in the right household, and their knowledge reserves are not equal. In all fairness, she dislikes Nan Zhiyi's dirty mess, and Nan Zhiyi is afraid that she has been disgusted with her stupidity.

The most important thing is that Nan Zhiyi just said something like dandelion, and he didn't have any attitude, or he was happy to coax her casually that day, or he was habitually running the train with his mouth full, or he drank more wine and put his head on the wrong line.

All in all, Nan Zhiyi didn't have any substantive performance to break through the friendship between them, but she herself was guided by the spicy fried flower nails, her brain hole opened wider and wider, and she couldn't stop running away, and she felt a little self-inflicted.

It's just that she knows that this misguided feeling can't be done accurately, but she just can't control her thinking too much, and sometimes when she thinks too far away, she is already full of crimson ears and fever, which seems to be a little wrong.

————

The familiar courthouse, the familiar Courtroom No. 11.

This court, Ling Li has been back and forth dozens of times, in the past, because of the family's case, she had to come here again and again to go through the trial, and after that, several cases were held in the High Court in succession, and this retrial case is no exception.

It was now 1:50 p.m., and there was still more than half an hour before the start of the trial, and she was the only one in the courtroom, sitting quietly on the defense bench and reading the materials.

Presumably, the judges are still preparing for the opening of the trial, and they did not arrive so soon.

After about ten minutes, there was a sound of footsteps behind her right.

The little girl, dressed in a black suit and wearing a huge emblem on her chest, walked in through the small door behind the judgment seat, and it seemed that she was the clerk today.

Ling Li bowed her head slightly, and the girl also smiled, and when she passed by her, she paused and said softly: "Lawyer Ling?" What's dirty behind your back? ”

Under the reminder of the clerk, Ling Li went to the bathroom, turned her back to the mirror and wanted to see behind her.

It was easy to turn his head, only to find that the back of the white shirt was a cloud of ink again.

There was a rush in the office in the morning, and Ling Li really couldn't remember when there were more conspicuous marks on her shirt.

No wonder, on the way to the courthouse, there were several pedestrians looking at her strangely.

Ling Li sighed lightly, took out the spare shirt she was carrying with her from her bag, and went to the bathroom to change into it.

As she changed her clothes, she wondered exactly when the ink was dyed.

When she arrived at the office in the morning, Qi Wan was busy introducing the younger sisters she brought to the lawyers.

They are all graduate students who have passed the judicial examination, some are in the first and some are in the second, all of them are quiet and well-behaved girls, and they are pleasing to the eye when they look at them.

Moreover, these students say that they are here for internships, but in fact, they are close to free helpers, who get 1,000 yuan a month and do all kinds of chores that assistants don't want to do, which is cheap, easy to use and obedient.

Even if you do typing work as an administrator, it is much better than the old oily clerks who don't know how many pounds and taels they weigh.

Therefore, these students have always been snatched up like treasures, and they are the most popular in courts, procuratorates and law firms.

Qi Wan brought four or five at once, which naturally made everyone excited.

Other than that, she couldn't remember what else Qi Wan had done.

Except for glancing at Qi Wan from a distance, she really didn't have any contact with her from morning to noon today.

However, she can be sure that this is definitely related to Qi Wan. Even if it wasn't Qi Wan herself, it might be a bunch of little girls she brought.

However, if she is a little girl, in fact, she is in her twenties, and if you want to talk about the means of intrigue and stumbling, I am afraid that many people can throw her a few streets. As for Qi Wan, the best among them, she is the person she will never take the initiative to provoke.

I have never met such a person, I obviously did not offend her, nor did I do anything to damage her interests, even if the earliest one was wronged, it was too coincidental at that time.

Thinking of this, Ling Li smiled self-deprecatingly.

Where is the wrong, it is simply a game that Qi Wan has laid out step by step.

first took advantage of her trance to change the case file, and then calculated the time to leave a figure at the turn that she could see from the camera when she got off work, and after she found that the case file was missing, she took her to the monitoring room to find the video, which made Ling Li suspicious.

Later, the drama made Ling Li feel guilty, and secondly, from that time on, lawyer Cheng misunderstood, and she had a conflict with Qi Wan.

After that, one accident after another, now that I think about it, there is indeed Qi Wan's shadow inside.

Lawyer Cheng is a good man, he easily doesn't speak ill of others, and with him on Qi Wan's side, even if others don't say anything, most of them can conclude in their hearts that Ling Li is doing it.

After the two clashed again, everyone in the institute would mistakenly think that Ling Li was bullying her.

and then untraceably underground, interfering with her preparations for court everywhere.

Fortunately, she did everything to prepare for the worst, and brought double copies of all the materials, including the clothes on her body, so she finally went to court without danger.

However, when she sat down on the defense bench with a stack of documents in her arms and lowered her head to confirm that the defense statement was safe, a figure flashed out of the corner of her eye, and then someone sat down next to her.

Ling Li looked sideways at Qi Wan sitting next to her, and couldn't hide her surprise: "Why are you here?" ”

"Sister Ling," she smiled sideways, and then said, "Didn't Master ask me to be your deputy?" I'm coming. ”

The clerk had already begun to check the identities of the people present, and when he saw the two people on the defense bench, he was obviously stunned: "Defense lawyer, you only submitted a power of attorney, why did two people appear in court?" ”

Ling Li stood up and looked at the clerk: "I am the only defense lawyer, this lawyer Qi, and I have not been entrusted by Yuan Fei. ”

"Sister Ling," Qi Wan immediately looked aggrieved: "Didn't Master say that you would let me take me to the second court to familiarize yourself with the process?" How do you forget in the blink of an eye? ”

Ling Li didn't pay attention to Qi Wan, who was good at singing and reading, and once again emphasized what she said just now: "This case involves the privacy of minors, in addition to the necessary litigation participants, I suggest that the court clear the idle people in the court, so as not to leak the privacy of minors." ”

The clerk looked at Ling Li, and then at Qi Wan, whose eyes were full of grievances, and had a somewhat uncertain voice: "It's really not your assistant?" If so, talk to the presiding judge, and maybe you can stay accommodatingly. ”

Ling Li shook her head and repeated again: "The defense lawyer requests that, in accordance with the requirements of the closed trial, remove the idle people and others from the courtroom." ”

In the corridor outside the courtroom, Ling Li and Qi Wan stood facing each other.

For the first time, the clerk saw that there would be a situation where the lawyers would pinch each other, and he was a little confused, so he asked the presiding judge to go, while Ling Li pulled Qi Wan out of the courtroom.

Leaning against the wall, the corners of Qi Wan's mouth raised just the right curvature: "I originally wanted to see with my own eyes how you lost, since Sister Ling didn't give you a chance, it was really a pity." ”

A trace of annoyance flashed in Ling Li's eyes, and he closed his eyes slightly, and when he opened them again, he was already calm and waveless: "You don't have to act everywhere." I know you're just trying to interfere with my court appearance, and I'm not going to let you get away with it. ”

Qi Wan clapped her hands lightly, and then smiled coquettishly: "It's so powerful, it's finally powerful." ”

After that, his expression cooled down without warning, and a few words popped out from between his teeth: "I hope you remember to be willing to gamble and lose." ”

After sending Qi Wan away, Ling Li sat on the defense bench alone, facing the prosecutor on the opposite prosecutor's seat, but she didn't feel nervous.

After all, after big scenes again and again, she still has made some progress.

An hour has passed since the lengthy pre-trial preparation stage, the verification of the information of the litigation participants, the reading of the protest and the defense statement, and a set of procedures.

The prosecution's opinion is very simple: there were indeed errors in the first and second trials, which led to the defendant's unusually light sentence and needed to be corrected.

The defense statement submitted by Ling Li analyzes that if the second instance is not appealed, the procuratorate will not be able to discover the errors and omissions of the original trial, which will lead to the consequences of initiating a retrial to increase the defendant's punishment.

This defense statement, under the reminder of Zhu Jinchuan, did not submit it to the court in advance, and played a marginal ball. Therefore, the procuratorate did not know that she would argue from such an angle.

Judging from the slightly stunned expression of the prosecutor surnamed Li on the other side, this sudden attack still had a certain effect.

But obviously, this prosecutor has seen a lot of big scenes, and he immediately calmed down, frowning slightly at first, and then his eyebrows and eyes relaxed, and he seemed to be very confident about refuting Ling Li's defense.
