Ling Li was dumbfounded when she heard this.

It's a pity that these two living treasures can't get together in a pile.

was interrupted by Lu Xiaoxiao, and the previous gloomy mood was also brighter, Ling Li sneered, and began to joke with Lu Xiaoxiao: "It turns out that Miss Lu, who is in the courtship period, is also very easy to deal with, as long as she gives you a box of bugs, she will immediately retreat." ”

Lu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes unceremoniously, snorted twice and immediately started to retaliate, and directly stepped on Ling Li's sore feet: "I heard that Qin Xinghai's case is basically out of play, and after doing useless work for so long, it turns out that the case can't be brought to the adjudication committee and can't reach those big guys, doesn't it feel very sour?" ”

When she brought up the case all of a sudden, Ling Li didn't know how to tell her, so she had to shrink her head and become a quail again, biting the straw in her mouth hard.

Lu Xiaoxiao watched the round straw turn into a square and flat ball, and frowned: "What's wrong?" Seeing that your face is black and your eyes are too lazy to blink and are lifeless, could it be that today's court session was rejected by the court? ”

Ling Li shook her head, and then let out an irrepressible sigh.

Lu Xiaoxiao turned a blind eye to the frustration on her face, kept curiously asking about the result, and kept questioning the indomitable Great Fortune Zhu Jinchuan, did she have no next step?

This posture seemed to be about to be asked to the end, Ling Li had a headache, and didn't know how to explain the entanglements to her, so she swallowed for a long time, and simply took out the crumpled defense statements from her bag and handed them to Lu Xiaoxiao.

Lu Xiaoxiao took it with a suspicious look on her face, and only looked down for half a minute, then raised her head in surprise, and exclaimed loudly: "You are ...... Zhong"

Halfway through her speech, she lowered her voice again: "It turns out that the case belongs to your family." ”

Ling Li lowered her eyes, neither admitting nor denying it, but the expression on her face was already obvious.

Lu Xiaoxiao's lips moved, there was a somewhat obscure look in her eyes, she didn't speak after all, she only lowered her eyes and continued to browse the defense.

After a few minutes, she finally finished reading it, raised her head thoughtfully: "So, Zhu Tou actually knew the identity of your victim's family for a long time?" ”

Ling Li was a little depressed and panicked, but she still replied softly: "Yes." ”

After receiving her affirmative answer, Lu Xiaoxiao continued to ask: "But I remember that in the first trial, the defense statement was not this at all. In this way, Zhu Tou also knew that the trial would inevitably not go to the final link. From this, it can be inferred that he had known about the existence of this witness for a long time. ”

Ling Li met her eyes, although she didn't speak, her facial expression was very obvious.

Before, when she and Lu Xiaoxiao went to court, Zhu Jinchuan personally revised the defense statement, which was not the one she got in her hand this time, but it was decent and flawless, and it was also a bunch of nonsense that was not offensive in the first trial.

At that time, Zhu Jinchuan did not propose the idea of using her special identity to impress the collegial panel. Therefore, in fact, from the very beginning, he knew that there was a key witness in this case, and he also knew the procuratorate's subsequent moves.

This is also the inference she has come from thinking about it repeatedly in the past few days.

It's just that she didn't expect that Lu Xiaoxiao only took a few minutes, and in the shock of learning that she was the family of the victim of Zhong Chengheng's poisoning case, she quickly figured out the key points that she had easily figured out.

Ling Li once again laughed at herself for her slow reaction, brainlessness, lack of eyes, and lack of self-knowledge.

Lu Xiaoxiao is what a lawyer should look like, what can she, a rigid and sluggish fool, be considered in the eyes of Zhu Jinchuan?

She was involved in this case in the dark, and she had been stupidly following his instructions, breaking her heart for the case, thinking that her efforts would be rewarded, or that she was happy that she had made a little progress, and never considered that there were such calculations behind her.

In fact, what Zhu Jinchuan needs is just a marionette. And she Ling Li, even if it is a rotten wood, but because of her special identity, she is the most suitable raw material for this puppet.

Moreover, he had long known that she was the second sister Ling who was making trouble behind her sister back then, and she had never mentioned it for a year, but when she was trapped in Changshan with him, she suddenly shouted.

Ling Li smiled bitterly, at such a good time, when she was injured and trapped on the highway in a panic, he approached little by little without a trace, a little bit of just the right amount of care, and the guidance and help she gave her both sternly and unsparingly at work, so that she quickly took off her guard, so that she trusted him wholeheartedly.

And his purpose in making her trust and dependence on him is nothing more than to make her listen to him completely and not cause trouble to his plans.

If it weren't for the unexpected details found to overturn the key evidence of the procuratorate, perhaps her last passionate speech would really make the collegial panel sway from side to side and become unable to agree, and become the key to pushing the case to the resolution of the trial committee.

Thinking of this, Ling Li said a sullen and slightly mocking sentence: "Everyone is drunk and he wakes up alone, I wish Daxiang this hand, it is really amazing." ”

Lu Xiaoxiao patted her on the shoulder.

Ling Li thought she was comforting herself, and was about to turn her head and say it didn't matter, but when she turned her head, she met her burning eyes.

", I wish you a really good head, the mechanism is every step of the way, why won't my old man have so many twists and turns? Otherwise, I can learn two tricks too! Lu Xiaoxiao's mouth was chattering, her eyes were full of bubbles, and she seemed to be in a good mood.

After talking to herself for a while, she grabbed Ling Li's shoulders again: "You said, if I were to kneel on the ground holding your master's thigh and beg for mercy now, would he be willing to take me with him?" ”

Ling Li was irritated by her nervous appearance, and said angrily: "He is not my master anymore, I have already told him that he is going to resign." If you want to find him to take you, just go to him. ”

This sudden sentence made Lu Xiaoxiao's excited expression instantly freeze, and then blinked with a very puzzled look, and after more than ten seconds, he realized his expression: "Xiao Lingzi, you won't be angry with Zhutou, right?" ”

Ling Li didn't nod or shake her head, lowered her eyes and looked at the drink in her hand, and sighed: "What do you say about not being angry, what qualifications do I have to be angry, it's just a marionette." ”

Unexpectedly, Lu Xiaoxiao sneered: "Xiao Lingzi, I thought you could grow a little after following Zhu Tou for so long, but as a result, you still haven't woken up!" You think he's taking advantage of you, right? But if I were you, I would take the initiative to think of this method. ”

Ling Li didn't expect to wait for her to say this, and she was a little annoyed in her heart: "It's not you who has no family, so you naturally don't have a backache when you stand and talk." All of this, in the eyes of your so-called elite lawyers, has become a tool that can be used? ”

Under her excitement, her voice couldn't help but be much louder, and in an instant, more than a dozen pairs of surprised eyes around her stared at the two of them, making her feel a little uncomfortable.

In front of everyone's eyes, Lu Xiaoxiao didn't feel embarrassed at all, and smiled slightly: "You feel that you are the victim's family, and you are not allowed to mention your pain easily." But for the client, you have only one identity, and that is a lawyer. It must be your instinct to make the choice that is in the best interests of the principal within the framework permitted by law. ”

Ling Li only felt that this was harsh, but she was powerless to refute it.

That's right, she, like Zhu Jinchuan, is destined to be an elite lawyer, a member at the top of the food chain, and when she is sharp, she is not at all something that a rookie like her can resist.

Seeing her speechless, Lu Xiaoxiao smiled slightly: "The deceased has passed away, and they no longer know the pain or the pain, but your client is still being wronged and serving a prison sentence for something he has not done." If you can really think about his interests wholeheartedly, if you really understand the lawyer's business, then you will not blame Zhu Tou for using your identity to impress the collegial panel today, but will thank him for waking you up. ”

Although her voice had softened, there was an indescribable firmness.

Hearing this, Ling Li finally couldn't help but start refuting her: "If you want to use my identity and bring up that case, he told me directly, I may not agree to him." However, I was kept in the dark and finally found out, what is going on? ”

Lu Xiaoxiao looked very funny: "Look at your current appearance of fried hair and oil and salt, if Zhu Tou told you first, you will probably always have resistance, and you can't wait to dig a pit and bury yourself, and you can no longer hear or see, how can you seriously handle this case?" How could it be possible to meet his requirements at the time of the trial?

Ling Li was stunned for a moment: "This is not a reason why he can lie to me with confidence. ”

Although she still insisted, her momentum was far less than just now.

Lu Xiaoxiao picked up the cup and drank the hot chocolate in the cup, and after a while, she straightened her chest, and then said word by word: "Choosing a lawyer sometimes means fighting against the whole world, and having to do something that you don't want to do." If you don't even have this awareness, then don't do it. ”

When she got out of the taxi and stood firm, Ling Li raised her wrist and looked at her watch, it was almost nine o'clock.

After the trial, coupled with Lu Xiaoxiao's appointment, she originally planned to have dinner with her, but she broke up unhappily, and she didn't have time to eat dinner before she tossed it.

Lu Xiaoxiao's words seemed to be admonishment and enlightenment, every sentence was reasonable, but every sentence made her very uncomfortable.

For the sake of the client's interests, Zhu Jinchuan has also warned her many times before, and he himself taught Ling Li a good lesson by words and deeds in the case of Qin Xinghai.

If this is a lawyer, if this is the price that must be paid to do a good job, then how can she continue to be as dull as her, as stupid as her, and confused as her?

I thought that I had found someone to rely on and trust, and I thought that he was willing to lead her forward step by step, but in the ups and downs of this case, the confidence that had risen up all of a sudden dissipated.

In the night, seeing that the old tube building was about to turn a corner, Ling Li stopped, stood up straight to adjust his breathing, and smiled at the corners of his mouth, ready to meet his uncle's concerned gaze.

In the next second, there was a huge force on her right hand, dragging her body to rush forward uncontrollably, and when something came out of her hand, she suddenly fell, losing her balance and rolling a few times on the cold and hard ground.

Propping up her body from the ground, Ling Li looked at the motorcycle that was gone, and her head was still a little dazed. As the seconds passed, as the slightest pain rose in her legs and arms, she finally understood that she had been robbed.

A few pedestrians on the street saw Ling Li being snatched by a speeding car and fell to the ground, and they all ran over to check the situation. Someone helped her up, someone called the police, and someone asked if she needed to go to the hospital.
