Su Yu and Huo Ran sat on the bench together, and the button of the vending machine on the side flashed with red light.

Huo Ran stood up and went to the vending machine to buy a can of coffee.

His slender fingers pulled the tab, folded it down, then tilted his head and poured it down, moving his Adam's apple as he swallowed.

Su Yu is afraid of the cold, so she usually carries a thermos pot with her, which will contain flower tea, and she drank the tea in small sips, and then she felt some warmth in her body.

Huo Ran sat down again and poured another sip of cold coffee.

Su Yu asked, "Didn't you have time to eat in the morning?" ”

She dug out the soy milk box that Aunt Lin stuffed to her before going out of the door, she opened the lid, scooped it with a spoon, and handed it to his mouth.

"Eat a little, or your stomach will be upset just by drinking coffee."

Huo Ran opened his mouth and ate it, he was still chewing, Su Yu dug up a big spoonful and stuffed it into him, she smiled: "Is it delicious?" I made it with Aunt Lin last night. ”

Huo Ran's mouth was full of soy milk, stuffed full, unable to speak, his black eyes were clear and clear, and his smile was obvious.

All right.

Su Yu whispered, "It was Aunt Lin who did it, but I helped to do it." She leaned closer and muttered, "I'll learn to cook next time." ”

Huo Ran swallowed the soy milk in his mouth, naturally picked up Su Yu's thermos cup, and took a sip of flower tea, his mouth was filled with the aroma of flower tea.

He said, "No, just have someone in the family who can cook." ”

Su Yu smiled with crooked eyebrows.

She also wanted to drink water, so she reached for the thermos cup and touched Huo Ran's hand.

Huo Ran noticed that her fingers were cold, like ice cubes, and habitually twisted her eyebrows, didn't let her get the thermos cup, and freed her other hand, held her hand, and wrapped her hand in the palm of his hand.

"Why is it so cold?"

He didn't wait for Su Yu to answer, he directly held the thermos cup and fed her water to drink, he handed the thermos pot too close, and the tip of Su Yu's nose was stained with warm mist.

Through the miao miao's smoke, her black eyes were bent into crescent moons, and she smiled at Huo Ran.

Huo Ran ate quickly, he quickly ate only one-third of the soy milk box, and he let Su Yu eat the remaining one-third.

Before Su Yu could speak, he was stuffed with a mouthful, and he seemed to like the feeling of feeding her all along.

Su Yu swallowed the soy milk in his mouth hard, his mouth moved, and he was about to say something.

I heard the sound of a cane.

Su Yu looked in the direction where the voice came, and Xie Lao appeared not far away, slowly walking towards the two of them.

Huo Ran still wanted to feed her soy milk, Su Yu tugged at his sleeve and signaled him to thank Lao Xie for coming.

Huo Ran: "Finish this bite." ”

Su Yu glanced at him and could only continue to eat.

Huo Ran slowly and methodically covered the soy milk box, took out a tissue, handed it to her, and slowly wiped his fingers clean.

Old Xie had already walked in front of the two.

Su Yu stood up, and she called out softly, "Old Xie." ”

Old Xie had no expression on his face, stared at Huo Ran silently, and after a long time, he spoke slowly, his voice was very hoarse: "Huo Ran, prepare for the second trial." ”

Huo Ran also stood up, his black woolen coat still hanging on the crook of his arm, and the suit on his body was straight, setting off the stiff outline lines.

His voice was a little cold: "Old Xie, the first-instance verdict has not yet come out." ”

Xie Lao's upright back seemed to be a little rickety, and when he heard this, his expression turned hideous for a moment: "The verdict hasn't come out yet, but now it's out and not, is there any difference?!" Ah Shen voluntarily pleaded guilty, how do you let the judge sentence? ”

He raised his eyes, suddenly thought of something, his eyeballs were covered with muddy bloodshots, and he gritted his teeth and asked Huo Ran: "You went to see Ah Shen yesterday, right?" What the hell did you tell him?! Shouldn't you be like those lawyers who think they are the embodiment of justice, and let Ah Shen confess his guilt in exchange for your so-called conscience?! Xie Lao's speech speed became faster and faster, his voice became more and more rough, he jerked down his crutches, and his voice was harsh: "That is the choice of moral hypocrites, it is the exclusive words of an incompetent lawyer, you are an excellent criminal defense lawyer, safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of the client is the most important thing for you, fairness and justice, no bullshit, wronging innocent people is the biggest insult to fairness and justice!" ”

Old Xie's face turned red, his lips pursed, and he trembled lightly with anger.

Huo Ran listened expressionlessly, without any reaction, only cold air lingered between his eyebrows.

He was already immune to these words.

The phone in his pocket vibrate, he lowered his eyelashes, took out the phone, and glanced at it, his eyebrows slightly darkened.

He called Su Yu, walked to the side, and answered the phone.

Su Yu nodded at Xie Lao and followed behind Huo Ran.

Huo Ran stood straight in front of the window, his back was as tall as a cold tree, he didn't know what the person on the phone was talking about, Su Yu couldn't see his expression, but he could catch his hand holding the phone more and more.

Huo Ran didn't speak.

Su Yu looked down at the watch on his left hand, there were only 8 minutes left, and the verdict was about to be announced.

Huo Ran's voice was low and slightly cold: "Got it." ”

He hung up the phone, turned around and stepped away on his long legs, his steps were a little hurried, his handsome brows tightly twisted, and his deep outline lines were vaguely taut.

His voice came from the front: "Su Yu, follow." ”

Su Yu was stunned, and hurriedly trotted to follow, Xie Lao stared at the direction where Su Yu and Huo Ran left, someone behind him respectfully stepped up, Xie Lao's voice was cold: "Go and see what trick Huo Ran is playing!" ”

*

The judges had already discussed the verdict, and they opened the door to the conference room and were about to walk out of it.

Huo Ran had a cold face, a pair of black eyes, black and pure, without a trace of light, his gaze was sharp, he stared at the presiding judge, and said, "Presiding judge, give me three minutes." ”

The prosecutor saw Huo Ran's upright figure from a distance, she also followed, and when she heard Huo Ran's words, she sneered and stopped: "Presiding judge, the verdict will be pronounced soon......

Huo Ran: "I have new evidence. ”

"No new evidence can be submitted at this time!"

The wrinkles between the presiding judge's eyebrows were very deep, and she was a little impatient, but after looking at the time, there were still 5 minutes, and her voice was cold: "Lawyer Huo, give you three minutes, but you must know that even if new evidence is submitted, it is not legal, the court will not take this evidence, and you can't change the result of this trial." ”

Huo Ran didn't argue with the presiding judge about this, and several people re-entered the conference room.

The door to the conference room closed softly, blocking out the outside sounds, and the whole room was surprisingly dull.

Huo Ran's lips straightened, his Adam's apple rolled silently, his eyebrows and eyes were shrouded in a thick mist, and his black eyes were like the bottomless sea under the night, with whirlpools and ups and downs.

Su Yu stood behind Huo Ran, a little sweat broke out in his palms.

The phone call just now was made by Lu Bapt, so the content of the call should be related to the police's investigation of Xie Shen's case.

Her heart palpitated, and she vaguely felt that the outcome of this case was about to be reversed.

Huo Ran's gaze swept indifferently over the three judges present, and then paused slightly on the prosecutor's face, he seemed to be suppressing something, and said unhurriedly and coldly: "The police have long known that Xie Shen is not the murderer of Sheng Wan, and this trial is just a game of catching turtles in an urn." ”

His thin lips were slightly hooked, impregnated with a thick sense of sarcasm.

"Therefore, no matter how I defend myself, the final result of the first instance will be Xie Shen's guilt and the crime of intentional injury causing death, and it will not be until the second instance is indicted that the court will change his verdict of guilt in the first instance. You say, "Are you right?" Judges? ”

His voice fell, like a thousand pounds of boulder, and smashed down on the hearts of everyone present.

Everyone was stunned, but the content of everyone's astonishment was different.

Huo Ran didn't give everyone a chance to react and speak, and continued: "There are so many loopholes in the evidence used by the police and the prosecution to accuse Xie Shen, is it really just a mistake in the investigation? Presiding judge, the city's criminal police team has been secretly staring at the Xie family for more than half a year, and has been looking for evidence that the Xie family is involved in smuggling crimes. It's a pity that Xie Lao is cautious, the Xie family is protected impenetrable, and the police have gained nothing for more than half a year, this time, Xie Shen's involvement in the homicide case is the only breakthrough. Therefore, the police wanted to take advantage of this opportunity, and the police could not be sure of Sheng Wan's death, but Xie Shen was very suspicious, and when Xie Shen was involved in the case, it became Xie Lao's weakness, so that Xie Lao was in a hurry because Xie Shen was imprisoned for murder, and the police could catch them all? ”

"Maybe the police didn't expect that Xie Shen would be so cooperative with their work?"

Su Yu's heart was filled with a hint of coldness, and her already cold fingers seemed to be getting colder and colder.

Huo Ran's silhouette became deeper and deeper: "Of course, maybe for the police, just letting the grandson of a smuggler sit in prison for a few days is nothing, after all, compared with sitting in prison for a few days, it is more important to solve the smuggling case that has plagued the police for more than half a year, not to mention, Xie Shen is indeed not a fuel-efficient lamp, he has traces of suspicion all over his body, since the cause of death is ambiguous, maybe it is really the person Xie Shen killed?" ”

There was sarcasm in his cool tone.

The presiding judge's face was so dark that it couldn't be darker, her eyes were filled with ice, her fingers on the table were clenched tightly, her bones were pale, and she seemed to be shocked by Huo Ran's words.

The prosecutor seemed to be unaware, and a flash of astonishment flashed in her eyes, anger appeared in her eyes, and she gritted her teeth.

The presiding judge's eyes were cold: "Lawyer Huo, you must have evidence when you speak." ”

Huo Ran pulled up the photos from his mobile phone, and swiped them one by one, since half a year ago, there have been scattered plainclothes near Xie's house, and the number of plainclothes has increased sharply recently, and there are a few photos of the Xie Group's financial situation questionnaire and Xie Lao's overseas assets, etc., and the last photo is a letter full of words.

"Xie Shen took the suicide note left by Sheng Wan."

Su Yu's heart sank.

Huo Ran's voice was calm: "Of course, if you still don't believe it, or are unwilling to cooperate, I don't mind sending this judicial scandal directly to the media for the people to see, the so-called fairness and justice." ”

The air seemed to stop flowing, and somewhat froze.

The presiding judge took a deep breath, clenched her fists, her clean brow furrowed tightly, she lifted the frame of her glasses, and her expression was tense, and she did not say a word.
