Seeing the tea spreading on the coffee table, Ling Li grabbed the tissue box for a while, took a toilet paper to cover the water trails, took a deep breath, and asked, "What else do you know?" ”

Seeming to feel that Ling Li's voice was quite calm, Lu Xiaoxiao continued: "The scene looks like a suicide, but there is evidence that the scene is faked. ”

"What forgery?" Ling Li's heart tightened.

"From the point of view of the deceased falling to the ground, it looks like she didn't jump herself, but like someone was pushing her. At that time, there were only two people in the house, Nan Zhiyi and Tao Yue. Also, from the fingernails of the deceased, the skin tissue of Nanzhiyi was detected. And Nan Zhiyi has scratches on his hands. ”

"Oh," Ling Li nodded slightly, "what else?" What about the transcripts of the on-site inquest? What's out of the ordinary? ”

Just by a scratch, it is impossible to tell whether it is Nan Zhiyi's hand, there must be other evidence.

Lu Xiaoxiao's voice was very serious: "Yes, there are still traces of a fight at the scene, but there are traces of vandalism." In addition, the surveillance installed at the scene of the crime has been destroyed, and the memory card in the surveillance is missing. Now they suspect that it was Nan Zhiyi who destroyed the evidence. ”

Since Lu Xiaoxiao's phone call, Ling Li has been restless in the afternoon.

She didn't know why she was so alarmed.

It stands to reason that Tao Xing is dead, Nan Zhiyi is regarded as a suspect, she should gloat happily that the dog man and woman deserve it, but at this time, her heart is unusually heavy.

Nan Zhiyi, how can he kill people? How could he possibly kill?

Something must have gone wrong, and it must not have been his hand.

But except for the limited information that Lu Xiaoxiao got from her, she had no other way to learn about this case.

In desperation, I had to turn on the computer and search for information about the case on the Internet over and over again.

However, there is only one official piece of news, and the rest is a mess of news commentary.

"Beautiful doctor and mentor, you know that there is a story behind it as soon as you hear it."

"My sister's classmate is from that university, I heard that the teacher is very talented, and he played with a lot of students, and this beautiful woman who fell to death also had the means to force her to move into the teacher's house, but unexpectedly, she missed Qingqing's life."

"In these years, those with good grades sit on the lap of the tutor, and those with bad grades sit on the stage as a lady, the good cabbage is arched by the pigs, and the rotten cabbage can't take the turn of you and me."

"Hehe, a beautiful woman is admitted to a doctorate, isn't it an unspoken rule?"

Ling Li couldn't bear it anymore, and her fingertips trembled and knocked down, "The police haven't officially investigated the results yet, as far as I know, the teacher is a very decent person, and there should be an inside story." ”

Her comment, which may have been the only one she knew with Nan Zhiyi, was immediately drowned out by an overwhelming amount of speculation.

Ling Li closed the computer, and there was a deep sense of powerlessness in her heart. She wanted to do something, but she knew it was completely futile.

After thinking about it, I decided to go to bed earlier and not to mess with my mind.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she closed her eyes in the dark, a line of tears slipped down the corners of her eyes.

Nan Zhiyi's case did not ferment to the point of being out of control, and a few days after Lu Xiaoxiao told Ling Li about the murder, all the news on the Internet disappeared quietly.

And Ling Li has been in a trance these days, and during work hours, she has always warned herself not to be distracted and forced herself to focus on work.

Fortunately, this trick works. After talking about the handling of the case in her hands at the regular meeting on Monday, several lawyers began to discuss with her with great interest the details of the not-guilty defense.

Unexpectedly, after the discussion, before the regular meeting was announced, a lawyer suddenly said a piece of gossip: "Do you know that the younger brother of the provincial court leader killed someone?" ”

Ling Li was stunned, and immediately held her notebook except for the conference room, but she didn't notice Zhu Jinchuan sitting behind her, whose eyes gradually deepened.

Returning to his cubicle, Ling Li took a few deep breaths to calm down the panic of hearing his news suddenly.

She once again warned herself that Nan Zhiyi would not kill anyone, Taoxing's depression and suicide should be the truth, and the police investigation should be wrong in direction. However, this is not something she can manage, Nan Zhiyi has Nan Zhijun's brother, the police must be cautious, and they will not wronged him.

Feeling a little more relaxed, Ling Li picked up her phone and began to check if there were any calls to find her during the meeting.

As soon as I saw the screen, I found seven or eight missed calls.

Ling Li looked through the numbers and found that all of them were local landline numbers that were not stored in the mobile phone.

She only felt that this segment was a little familiar, she frowned lightly and tried to remember, and suddenly, the screen lit up again.

It was still the same number just now, and Ling Li quickly picked it up.

She only fed her, and a somewhat hurried male voice sounded on the other side: "Is it Judge Ling Li?" ”

Ling Li was stunned and hurriedly replied: "I am Ling Li, but I am not a judge." ”

The voice on the other side hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, I made a mistake, is it lawyer Ling Li?" ”

"It's me, what's the matter with me?" Ling Li replied softly.

"I'm here at the Chengnan Detention Center in Luodu City, and there is a suspect suspected of intentional homicide, and I want to entrust you as a defense lawyer."

"Oh." Ling Li replied, and immediately understood why she felt that the number was familiar.

It turned out to be the number section of the detention center, and I had received calls from there before, so it was inevitable that I would be impressed after watching it a few more times.

Listening to the situation, a new case has come to the door.

She picked up the paper and pen on the table and said, "Tell me, the information of the suspect, and the information of the suspect's family." ”

The man on the other side paused slightly, and then said word by word: "The suspect's name is Nan Zhiyi." ”

——————

In the high-end loft in the south of the city, Lu Xiaoxiao watched her sister-in-law take away the little concrete who had just drunk her mother's milk, and her eyes were full of the brilliance of maternal love.

After that, he turned his head and asked Ling Li, who had been standing aside: "You mean, you didn't agree to take his lawsuit?" When something so strange happens, you don't want to ask him in person, what the hell is going on? ”

Ling Li hung her head and said for a while before saying, "I don't think I should get involved in this matter." From a professional point of view, too much involvement between the lawyer and the defendant will affect the lawyer's judgment of the case, and thus affect the defendant's defense interests. ”

Lu Xiaoxiao sighed: "In the final analysis, you don't want to see him, right?" I don't approve of any relationship that can be carried out without any guilt after a breakup, but he is in trouble and appoints you to be his defender, so it is not good to sit idly by. After all, your intellectual property case was also pointed out to you by him with unreasonable trust. ”

Ling Li stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the sparkling Nanhe downstairs: "Xiaoxiao, he has such a powerful brother, and he has a good friend who is willing to quit his job for him to make trouble for Wang Wanwan, what do you think, what is my plate of small dishes?" That time, Yamazaki Seed Industry was angry with his brother, and I happened to be next to him, so it fell on me, and this time, I really don't know what he was for. ”

Lu Xiaoxiao still wanted to comfort her, but Ling Li looked back at her: "Don't persuade me, the most direct reason is that I know that I still have grievances against him, and I can't keep a calm mind to look at this case." What's more, the deceased snatched my man from me, and with such a layer of grievances, it is absolutely impossible for me to look at this case with a calm mind. Anyway, for everyone's good, I can't take this case. ”

Seeing Ling Li's resolute attitude, Lu Xiaoxiao also closed her mouth in amusement. It also happened that Xiaotong was crying again, one of them was busy coaxing, and the other looked at the pink little doll with a red face and made awkwardness, and the heavy boulder in his heart was temporarily put down a little.

A few months ago, Ling Li's menstrual period did not come when she broke up with Nan Zhiyi. She suspected that she had been tricked at the time, but fortunately, it was probably only because her mood fluctuated too much that month, so it was delayed for half a month.

She took a side Chinese medicine and came to recuperate.

In fact, when it was not determined whether it was pregnancy or menstrual disorder, Ling Li thought that if she really had his child, she would give birth to the child like Lu Xiaoxiao.

After a few months, the pain that once pierced the heart and the attachment that once pierced through the bones seemed to be fading away, and she gradually got used to Zhu Jinchuan's care and warmth, coupled with a thriving career, everything was developing in a good direction.

It's just that she knows that on the surface, it seems to be better, but in fact, her heart is still very early to heal.

If she did it again, if she experienced the experience of him giving her all his life and fortune, she was afraid that she would not be able to help but turn back.

When the time comes, how will I get out?

She closed her eyes, opened her lips lightly, and warned herself in a voice that only she could hear: "Don't be afraid, it will pass soon." ”

It's just that in all matters related to Nan Zhiyi, Ling Li's thoughts are contrary to the development of events.

She didn't want to accept Nan Zhiyi's lawsuit, but someone forced her to accept it.

On Friday afternoon, Zhu Jinchuan was discussing with Ling Li the defense ideas of a certain case, and when Chengda Law Firm arrived, a person who no one could have imagined came.

"Ling Li." The man whispered her name, and his voice was deep and hoarse, very distinctive.

Ling Li looked at the person in front of her in a daze, unable to speak for a long time.

It was Zhu Jinchuan who spoke up first and called calmly: "Dean Nan." ”

Nan Zhijun nodded at him slightly, and then looked at Ling Li: "Xiao Yi wants to appoint you as his defense lawyer, and he won't accept the others." ”

Ling Li's eyes widened, completely speechless.

A few days ago, she refused Nan Zhiyi's request from the detention center to ask her to be her defender, but as a result, Nan Zhijun actually came to the door in person.

She was in a complicated mood and a little angry, but she couldn't say anything indignant to Nan Zhijun, who was not angry and arrogant.

It was Zhu Jinchuan who opened his mouth to say what was in her heart: "Dean Nan, Nan Zhiyi is in the detention center, and he can also let people pass on the word who to appoint as a lawyer, and sure enough, there are people in the court who are easy to do." ”

Nan Zhijun pursed the corners of his mouth, looked at Zhu Jinchuan, and his eyes were rubbed into ice cream, full of cold.

Zhu Jinchuan stood silently in place, did not move, and did not back down in the slightest.

After a long time, Nan Zhijun finally put away his sharp eyes, and said word by word in his mouth: "Xiao Yi not only appointed Ling Li, but also designated you, Zhu Lawyer." ”
