Chapter 19: Su Yu's Reflections
Huo Ran maintained a slightly leaning posture, supporting the back of the sofa with one hand, looking at her, and a smile on the corner of his lips.
"I'll make some for lunch."
He straightened up, and Su Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
Huo Ran's kitchen is not open, when he was cooking, he closed the door easily, Su Yu was not embarrassed to look at it, she sat for a while, felt bored, stood up, and walked to the clean floor-to-ceiling glass door.
She unscrewed the door open and walked out.
The balcony was also large and a table with a light blue flannel cloth was set outside.
The winter wind choked at the low temperature, and the awe-inspiring chill blew on her face, lowering the burning heat on her face.
The wind blew, and her mind calmed down.
His hands were propped up on the cold black railing, and he looked at the rolling green hills in the distance, and the snow fell thinly, and the trees nearby were only dry branches, shaking the snow on the ground.
There was a faint sense of loss in her heart.
It was like entering a period of low mood, and the heart was floating in the dark water, with trembling.
Su Sheng's case was solved, and she should be happy, but the strings that had been tense in her mind suddenly broke, and she felt at a loss.
Huo Ran's words also kept echoing in her ears.
Is there anything wrong with justice, she thought? The victims are the weaker party, they have suffered injuries and even lost their lives, and their rights and interests can only be protected by the public procuratorate and the judicial organs, but what about the criminal suspects? Over the years, she has seen too many criminal suspects of all kinds, some of whom have pretended to confess in court, some of whom will not even do superficial repentance, who do not think that they have done anything wrong, and even continue to stare at judges and prosecutors with sinister eyes.
And in her eyes, whether those people are called suspects or criminals is only a matter of time, and when she found sufficient evidence on behalf of the prosecution and filed an appeal, they were already convicted in her heart.
But......
Su Yu's eyelashes fluttered, and the mild winter sun fell on her long eyelashes, jumping gently, and the cold wind blew through her ears.
This time, she was on Su Sheng's side.
When so much evidence pointed to him, she didn't think it was Su Sheng who committed the crime.
She turned, her fingers frozen a little, staring at her own reflection on the floor-to-ceiling glass door.
Suddenly I felt a little ashamed, she was a double standard.
Why did she believe in Su Sheng, just because he was her younger brother, she thought she knew him, so she believed him unconditionally.
The cold wind was blowing, and the figure on the glass gradually blurred, like a pool of lake water wrinkled and disrupted by the wind.
She had handled the unjust case with her own hands, and that person was portrayed as a rapist by her own hands, and he said many times that he had not done it, but she didn't believe it.
Su Yu pursed his lips, his palms were sticky with sweat, and his back was a little cold.
She still remembers the reproachful eyes and the pain of being abused two years ago.
But all of it was as guilty as she was when she saw the teenager she had wronged.
Because of her mistake, he spent two long years in prison, his spine was crooked, skinny, and his eyes glanced at her indifferently, without a trace of warmth, without resentment, but it was more like a slap on Su Yu's face, hot and embarrassing; It was also like a fire, burning her conscience.
Su Yu's fingers curled down, his eyes dazed.
Huo Ran came out of the kitchen and stood on the other side of the glass door, holding a dinner plate in his hand, and gently buttoning the door with his other hand, and raised his eyebrows: "Come in, don't blow the cold wind anymore." β
Through a thick glass door, his voice sounded distant.
At this moment, Su Yu had an illusion that the distance between her and him was too far, and she didn't know where the distance was.
The heating was turned on in the room, and the radiators exuded a warm smell, and as soon as Su Yu walked in, the cold and warm alternated, which stimulated her to breathe softly, and a pair of white fingers were a little red and swollen from the cold.
The rice is not good yet.
The rice cooker in the kitchen was still running, and through the crack in the door, white smoke could be seen coming out of the rice cooker's air holes.
Huo Ran turned on the TV and handed the remote control to Su Yu: "What you want to watch, tune it yourself." β
He was about to fry another dish, and the phone was vibrating again, he put on the headphones, picked up the phone, glanced at Su Yu lightly, and walked to the kitchen to answer the phone.
Su Yu casually adjusted a few stations, and the LCD screen flashed one by one, and then, her hands paused, pursed the corners of her lips, and her dark eyes looked at the screen fixedly.
ββ"Our reporter broadcasts: Today, the Dongcheng District Procuratorate requested in writing to withdraw the indictment on the grounds that the evidence had changed during the trial, which led to doubts about the evidence found guilty of intentional homicide by Su Sheng, the son of the defendant Su Zhiguo. It is reported that so far, the people's court has made a ruling to allow it. β
As soon as the camera turned, it was Xie Suixing's mother.
After a period of suffering, she has a lot of gray hair, her face is old, and her expression is tired and collapsed: "I don't know what my Xingzi did wrong, why did she suffer like this, and I don't know why the court withdrew the case, and now there is no second suspect at all?" β
The reporter asked her: "Mother Xie, will you appeal?" β
Mother Xie leaned on the body of the other person and cried silently: "Yes, I won't let Su Sheng go, if it weren't for him, my star is still healthy now, and you can also call me mother, she used to tell me how much she likes Su Sheng, but it was this murderous demon who killed her, and with the help of the power of the family, she escaped the punishment of the law." What did Hoshiko do wrong? She just broke the matter of Su Sheng's drug use, and lost her life because of it...... My poor child. β
At the end of the shot, Xie's mother was already crying and fainting.
Su Yu clenched his fingers, because of the force, the fingertips had already sunk into the tender flesh of the palm.
None of this is true.
Xie Suixing is innocent, but Su Sheng is just as innocent.
The reporter faced the camera and made the final broadcast statement, her expression was sad: "It is reported that the lawyer who defended Su Sheng this time is Huo Ran, who has defended the notorious rapist and drug dealer not guilty. Regardless of the current verdict, we must believe that fairness and justice may be late, but it will come. β
Su Yu's chest was swollen, as if he had been pinched hard.
can only be fortunate that after the evidence is conclusive and Liu Muyang is prosecuted, Su Sheng's charges can be cleared.
Huo Ran walked behind her, propped himself up on her side with one hand, leaned over, picked up the remote control, not only did not turn off the TV, but jumped to another station, and was also broadcasting Su Sheng's affairs.
The big headline catches people's attention - the murder case of Su Sheng, the son of Su Zhiguo, was withdrawn by the prosecution, which completely aroused public outrage.
The comments of netizens scrolled on the screen, and the host read them out with a little irony.
Someone ridiculed: "Don't be naΓ―ve, the law is just a game for the powerful, you understand it now." β
Some people also sarcastically said: "Are we really stupid, a weak teacher would run to Su Sheng's house to kill people?" β
But only one sentence really pierced Su Yu's heart.
Her face turned pale, her fingertips tightened and trembled slightly.
- "Su Sheng's sister was careless about people's lives when she was a prosecutor a few years ago, and she hurt people, and now she is out again, she shouldn't think netizens are forgetful." I really hope that Su Sheng will also be sentenced to death, let her feel the pain, and thank her for letting us all understand what it means to be invincible. β
There was a chill in her back.
