The next day, Xie Shen's case officially opened, and the trial began at 9 o'clock in the morning.

Lu Yuzhou also has a case to be heard, both in the Dongcheng District Court, and the three of them eat together in the court's canteen.

The Dongcheng District Court canteen has just been updated with a menu that slightly increases the welfare of legal workers, and the canteen has been set up as a cafeteria, which is open free of charge to lawyers and court staff in court sessions.

Su Yu picked out millet porridge, custard buns and boiled eggs, Huo Ran took a few buns, cakes and soy milk, only Lu Yuzhou took the most, and most of the things were taken by him - bacon, eggs, tomatoes, mushrooms, toast, sausages and sweet potatoes.

Lu Yuzhou sat opposite Su Yu, he drank soy milk, peeled the skin of the sweet potato, and then put the sweet potato into the dinner plate, under the warm yellow light, his eyebrows were black, and he asked with a smile: "Su Yu, do you know what kind of breakfast this is?" ”

Su Yu glanced at it: "You chose it according to the English breakfast?" It's just that the difference with the English breakfast is that there are no potatoes in the cafeteria, and he specially took sweet potatoes instead.

Lu Yuzhou slapped his thigh: "Connoisseur, you can't afford to provoke it." ”

"You ate so hard early in the morning." If there is a breakfast heavy taste list, British breakfast should be in the top three, Su Yu has seen a survey before, this plate of breakfast in front of Lu Yuzhou has a total of 1300 calories, which is equivalent to eating five McDonald's burgers.

Lu Yuzhou also wanted to take a bun from Huo Ran's plate, but was blocked by Huo Ran's chopsticks.

Su Yu was afraid of being hot, so he drank porridge in small sips, Huo Ran had already finished his breakfast in three or two clicks, and naturally took eggs from Su Yu's plate and helped her peel the shell, acting skillfully and quickly.

Lu Yuzhou ate too much dog food and choked.

Huo Ran saw that there was a new rice meal on the buffet table, he stood up and brought one to Su Yu, Lu Yuzhou's afterglow glanced at it: "Ah Ran, help me get one together." ”

When Lu Yuzhou was eating, he talked a lot, he took a bite of rice noodles, nodded, satisfied with the delicate and smooth taste, he suddenly said, "Su Yu, do you know?" Ah Ran also makes rice rolls. ”

Su Yu was eating rice rolls, she raised her eyelids and looked at Huo Ran with some surprise.

Lu Yuzhou met Huo Ran's gaze, rarely, willingly made dog food, and put on a "I'm really not unhappy" expression and stuffed himself with a mouthful of dog food, he said: "It's all Ah Ran has learned in the past few years, what you like to eat, there is nothing he won't do." ”

Su Yu's eyes froze slightly, pursed her lips, staring at Huo Ran's stunningly bright cold eyes, her chest swelled with warm currents, like eating a very sweet marshmallow, she smiled and bent her eyes, retracted her gaze, and continued to bow her head to eat rice rolls, still feeling Huo Ran's gaze, and patrolling tightly on the side of her face.

In fact, I feel a little guilty in my heart.

When they were together, it was Huo Ran who chased her for a long time, and later, in the whole process of college love, Huo Ran paid more, and later, the two broke up, which she proposed.

Although, she has a last resort.

However, what she can't deny is that she got engaged to Chen Yanze after she broke up, so compared to Huo Ran, is the pain she feels after breaking up not as much as him? She didn't know what kind of mood he was in, after separating, after learning that she and Chen Yanze were together, he learned to cook the dishes she liked to eat.

The guilt was like a tidal wave, drowning her and making her chest swell uncomfortably.

Lu Yuzhou's mobile phone suddenly rang, it was Lu Mu.

Lu Yuzhou: "Mom, what's wrong?" I'm having breakfast, and I'm going to court later. ”

The volume of his mobile phone was turned on quite loudly, and Su Yu and Huo Ran both heard Lu Mu's voice: "I know that you are in court, and when the court is over, go home and get some soup." ”

"I'm full, I don't drink soup."

Mother Lu's tone was calm: "I didn't let you drink, let you give it to your eldest brother and sister-in-law!" ”

"You let the eldest brother get it."

"No, your eldest brother has to take care of your sister-in-law, so I don't have time to come over."

Pierced in the heart.

Lu Yuzhou ate the sausage and wailed: "Mom, kill me!" ”

Mother Lu's tone was leisurely: "Wait until the soup is delivered before killing, otherwise there will be no one to help your eldest brother deliver the soup." ”

Lu Yuzhou: "??? ”

Mother Lu paused deliberately: "Of course, if you don't want to send soup, you can also find a wife, such as the girl you look at......"

Before she finished her words, Lu Yuzhou immediately exaggerated the phone and held it away from her ears: "Mom? What are you talking about? Yes...... Why can't you hear it? It doesn't seem like the signal is very good...... Mother? Mother? Can you hear me? ”

Lu's mother was so angry that the voice that was about to scold came out: "Stinky boy ......" The phone had already been cut off by Lu Yuzhou.

Huo Ran smiled sideways: "Oscar owes you a little golden man." ”

Lu Yuzhou cooperated and began to make trouble, reveled, and pretended: "Come, photographer, the lights shine here, give me the microphone, and the actor will appear." ”

Su Yu smiled and bent his eyes.

In the next second, he was designated as an enthusiastic fan by Lu Yuzhou: "This brainless fan, let me see your love for me." ”

Huo Ran narrowed his eyes dangerously: "Who do you say has love for you?" ”

"Social Society." Lu Yuzhou begged for mercy, "Princess Su only has love for you, okay?" ”

Su Yu felt that her cheeks were a little hot and numb, she looked at Huo Ran's eyes, her eyelashes fluttered, and she quickly looked away, there seemed to be a tide rising in her chest, and the soreness of Fang Cai became more and more obvious, a little sweet, and a little heavy.

After breakfast, it was half past eight, and Huo Ran and Su Yu were waiting for the court on the chairs outside the courtroom.

Xie Lao walked into the court, he was wearing a dark red Tang suit, his white hair had been dyed black, he was combing his big back, he was holding a dragon head cane, his eyes were cold, the wrinkles on his face were getting deeper and deeper, but his complexion was very majestic.

He stood in front of Huo Ran, the jade wrench on his thumb rotated slightly, a pair of eagle eyes stared at Huo Ran coldly, the curvature of his lips was full of yin owls, his skin was smiling, with a heavy coercion: "Lawyer Huo, it depends on your performance today." ”

Huo Ran's eyebrows were dark, his eyes were cold, and there was no temperature, he leaned on the back of the chair, his long legs were overlapped, obviously he was looked down on by Xie Lao, but the aura around him did not weaken by half a point.

He said: "It is more important to look at Xie Shen's own attitude. ”

Old Xie's eyes were a little sharper, he clenched the head of the cane, and gritted his teeth, obviously he also knew Xie Shen's attitude.

Xie Lao said: "You just need to do what you should do as a criminal defense lawyer, and you don't need to worry about the rest, my Xie family will naturally help Xie Shen arrange it." ”

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Su Yu: "Su family girl, sit with me later." He stared at Huo Ran intentionally or unintentionally, "Lawyer Huo, you have to behave well later, the girl of the Su family is still waiting in the auditorium to see your performance." ”

There was a seeming threat in these words.

Xie Lao had already seen the ambiguity between Huo Ran and Su Yu, and he had also seen Huo Ran's feelings for Su Yu.

Huo Ran's eyebrows sank, his expression became more and more indifferent, his eyes were cold, and he met Xie Lao's eyes for a moment, and his fingers slowly clenched.

*

The auditors sat down sparsely, and next to Su Yu sat Xie Lao, who sat straight, with a straight face, eagle eyes, and could see that he was emotionally nervous, and his hands were tightly clutching the cane and faucet.

The presiding judge struck the gavel, and the audience fell silent.

The female presiding judge's voice was loud: "Now the court is open, and the defendant Xie Shen will be summoned." ”

Xie Shen was escorted in by the bailiff, he hung his head slightly, a little carelessly, and he didn't raise his head from the time he came in to the time he sat in the prison chair.

He leaned back on the back of his chair with his hands cuffed and orange prison uniforms, and looked at Huo Ran and then at the judge uninhibitedly, with a provocation in his deep eyes.

After Xie Shen came in, Xie Lao didn't take his eyes off Xie Shen, he bit his cheeks and stared at Xie Shen tightly, but Xie Shen didn't even look at him, after sitting in the prison chair, all he could see from the auditorium was Xie Shen's indifferent side face.

Xie Lao looked at Xie Shen carefully for a while, as if he was relieved: "Ah Shen is in a good state, and the people who are in the detention center don't embarrass him." ”

Su Yu withdrew her eyes from looking at Xie Shen, she thought, not only is she in good shape, she is simply personable and radiant, not at all like a suspect who has been detained in the detention center for so long.

Xie Lao actually has nothing to be happy about, Xie Shen is in a good state and in good spirits, he doesn't look like a person who will reflect on himself, and the judge will never be soft when he makes a verdict.

Su Yu met Huo Ran's eyes across the crowd.

She's in the gallery, he's in the defense gallery.

The concerns of both of them are the same, the judges, prosecutors and clerks in the court today, the prosecution and the trial are all women, and the victim in this case is a woman, Xie Shen has let Sheng Wan have a fetus several times, and he himself still despises women, such a court combination is very unfavorable to his trial.

The presiding judge raised his eyelids, looked at Xie Shen, and asked routinely, "Defendant Xie Shen, have you received a copy of the indictment issued by this court?" ”

Xie Shen was faintly uninhibited all over his body, he stared at the presiding judge for a while, and then laughed: "Received." ”

Presiding Judge: "Do you have any questions about the charges and content of the indictment?" ”

"Questions? I don't know what the indictment says. Xie Shen's eyes narrowed slightly.

The presiding judge frowned slightly and looked at him: "Defendant, please take the court seriously!" ”

Xie Shen smiled at the corner of his mouth: "I really don't know the content of the indictment, I haven't even read it, and as soon as I received it, I tore up the indictment." He said, sneering, with anger in his eyebrows, "Because I didn't have any criminal acts at all, I don't admit intentional homicide, nor do I admit intentional injury to death, it's all Sheng Wan who wants to kill me, I have to resist, I am an innocent victim!" ”

His words were like thunder, and with a bang, they exploded through the silent and solemn courtroom.

Huo Ran clenched the black signature pen in his hand, his eyebrows did not move, and his dark eyes stared at Xie Shen for a moment, with a sharp edge and a cold light in his eyes.

The female prosecutor in the opposite seat already had a sneer on her face, obviously angry.

The people in the auditorium were even more angry, they had hardly seen such an arrogant criminal suspect, and they dared to brazenly say that they were the victims, if he was the victims, then who was Sheng Wan who was killed by him?

Sitting behind Su Yu was Sheng Wan's mother, she stood up angrily, her voice was sharp and harsh: "You who should kill a thousand knives, Wanwan has beaten you so many times, and now you have been killed by you, you don't admit your guilt, and you refuse to pay money, and now you have to beat Wanwan and rake it!" You're not human, you're a brute! ”

The presiding judge struck the gavel heavily: "Silence! ”

Sheng Wan's mother still refused to give up, and she cried in her voice: "Your Excellency, we were killed by him every night, you must administer justice for us!" ”

The presiding judge pursed his lips and glanced at the bailiff, who stood up from Xie Shen's side, staring at Sheng Wan's mother with heavy eyes, and his hand was on the baton at his waist.

Sheng Wan's mother, who was still sprinkled just now, put away her tears in a blink of an eye, sat quietly in her position, she raised her hand to wipe the tears that she didn't know existed from the corners of her eyes, and smiled dryly at the bailiff twice.

Su Yu felt sad for Sheng Wan, born in such a native family, Sheng Wan should not have enjoyed any warmth.

Xie Shen had a sarcastic smile on his eyebrows, watching the noise just now as if he was watching a farce, and he smiled indifferently: "Presiding judge, you have also seen that women have such qualities, and there is nothing they are not good at when they are splashed and rolled, and girls are trouble." ”

This sentence directly and indiscriminately attacked all the women present.

The presiding judge's face was already pale, her chest rose and fell, her brows tightened, and she struck the gavel hard: "Silence! Defendant, when you don't ask a question, don't answer on your own, please follow the rules of the court! ”
