The kang was burning very hot, Su Yu was woken up by the heat, she opened her eyes, and vaguely heard a slight movement outside the door, and looked out the window, the sky was already a little bright.

Su Yu lifted the quilt and got out of bed and got dressed.

Grandma Huo, Aunt Huo, and Huo Ran have all gotten up, Aunt Huo is cooking, and Huo Ran is helping Grandma Huo press her shoulder.

Su Yu walked out and said softly, "Good morning." ”

Grandma Huo glanced at her: "Wash up and get ready to eat." ”

Aunt Huo prepared a rich breakfast, and Su Yu was also very popular, eating a lot more than usual, but when a few people were still eating breakfast, there was a sudden noise outside the door, as if someone had entered the courtyard.

Su Yu glanced at Huo Ran, Huo Ran stood up, went over and opened the door, he stood still outside the door, blocking the sight of several people in the house, but the voice outside the door came in clearly.

"Ah Ran, is Ah Ran here?"

The voice sounded somewhat familiar, and the owner of the voice seemed to see Huo Ran, as if grasping a life-saving straw: "Ah Ran, help Uncle Afu, your Aunt Afu was arrested by the police!" She was caught by the police! ”

Huo Ran's voice was calm, and he helped the person who came: "Don't worry, come in and speak slowly." ”

Su Yu stood up, and then he saw the person who came clearly.

It was Uncle Fu who she and Huo Ran had seen on the mountain in the village before, his face was panicked and tired, his eyes were bloodshot, and his fingers trembled uncontrollably.

"Ah Ran, your Aunt Ah Fu has been arrested."

Huo Ran's eyebrows twisted slightly, and his eyes were dark: "What happened?" ”

His strong hands supported Uncle Ah Fu, who was so frightened that he was almost unable to walk, Uncle Ah Fu's eyes were red, and his voice was choked with tremors: "What should I do?" I don't even know what to do, I can only come to you, you must help me, you must help your aunt, she will not do such a thing, she will not ......"

Su Yu went to the kitchen and poured a cup of hot water, handed it to Uncle Afu, and said softly: "Uncle Afu, if there is anything, you say it slowly, don't worry." ”

Uncle Ah Fu raised his eyes and glanced at Su Yu, he still remembered Su Yu, took the hot water, took a sip, and it took a long time before he calmed down.

He swallowed his saliva, put down the cup, and held Huo Ran's hand tightly: "Do you remember the nanny who ran away before?" She was caught by the police the other day, and the police caught her. ”

Uncle Ah Fu continued: "However, she suddenly said that she was instructed by someone, and she said that she was not the mastermind, she was entrusted by someone to kill my family Abbe. ”

Huo Ran's back straightened, and when he heard this, his eyebrows jumped heavily, and his eyebrows wrinkled.

Su Yu rolled her eyes and met Huo Ran's gaze, she suddenly understood something, pursed her lips, and asked tentatively: "Did the nanny mean that she was instructed by Aunt Ah Fu to kill Ah Bei, your little granddaughter?" ”

Before this question was spoken, Su Yu felt that it was too ridiculous, would someone join forces with the nanny to harm his granddaughter? If so, for what?

She still remembers that Huo Ran told her about Uncle Afu's family before, Uncle Afu has a son who is a civil servant in a public institution, when the son just got married, he also took Uncle Afu and Aunt Afu to live together, the conflict between the two generations, the conflict between the city and the countryside led to the discord between the two old people and the daughter-in-law, last year, Uncle Afu's little granddaughter who was less than one year old died, and the murderer was the live-in nanny, and the nanny also happened to disappear after the incident, the family grieved excessively and blamed each other, and the two old people returned to the village, After her daughter-in-law became pregnant again this year, Aunt Afu went to her son's place not long ago to take care of her daughter-in-law.

Uncle Afu continued: "Some time ago, the nanny who escaped for a long time was arrested, our family is very happy, the Chinese New Year's Eve came back for a year, because the daughter-in-law is not suitable for rural life, yesterday morning your Aunt Afu and their family went back to the city, I still stayed here to do farm work, unexpectedly, early in the morning I received a call from my son, saying that your Aunt Afu was taken away by the police, because the nanny confessed to her." ”

He said, his eyes were red: "Ah Ran, will you help Uncle Ah Fu, right?" Your Aunt Afu was wronged, that nanny talked nonsense in order to survive, how could your Aunt Afu harm her own granddaughter, how could it be! Whose heart would be so ruthless?! ”

Huo Ran narrowed his eyes slightly, his Adam's apple moved slightly, his thin lips opened slightly, and he suddenly asked, "Uncle Fu, did your son ask you to entrust me?" Or did you come on your own? ”

Uncle Ah Fu was stunned for a moment, was silent, and his fingers tightened: "It's me." ”

"Your son wants to hire another lawyer in town?"

Uncle Ah Fu didn't answer immediately, his fingers became more and more forceful, his lips trembled, as if it was difficult to speak, and his brows were tightly locked.

Huo Ran didn't urge him, but waited patiently for his answer indifferently.

"It's not."

Uncle Ah Fu seemed to have made some decision, he choked in his throat, and said, "Ah Ran, Uncle Ah Fu believes in you, I will tell you everything I know." He...... His daughter-in-law wouldn't let him find a lawyer, so he gave me money to ...... Let me come to you. ”

Su Yu was slightly stunned, pursed his lips, and looked at Uncle Afu's expression a little serious.

Huo Ran asked lightly: "Is your daughter-in-law convinced?" Why? ”

"She believes it, because her relationship with your Aunt Afu has always been bad."

Su Yu twisted his eyebrows: "If it's just a bad relationship, I won't believe that my mother-in-law and nanny killed such a ridiculous thing as my daughter." ”

Uncle Ah Fu took a deep breath and sighed long: "Your Aunt Ah Fu is old-fashioned and patriarchal, we have a son, she always wants to have a grandson to inherit the bloodline, I told her many times, boys and girls are the same, the times are different, she just can't listen!" ”

Su Yu looked at Uncle Ah Fu and asked directly: "Does Aunt Ah Fu always complain about your daughter-in-law, and she is not very good to your two granddaughters?" ”

Uncle Ah Fu was silent for a while before he replied in a deep voice: "Yes, but your Aunt Ah Fu just said that she is not bad-hearted, and she still loves her two granddaughters very much." ”

Su Yu didn't ask again.

After Uncle Ah Fu said this, his mood calmed down a lot, he closed his eyes, and opened them again: "Ah Ran, Uncle Ah Fu can only rely on you, only you can help us, you also know your Aunt Ah Fu, she must have been wronged." ”

Grandma Huo and Aunt Huo didn't speak after Uncle Ah Fu came in, Aunt Huo was busy cleaning up the table, she poured Uncle Ah Fu another cup of tea, and comforted: "Don't worry, come, you let Ah Ran think about it first." ”

Su Yu also looked at Huo Ran, in her opinion, this kind of case involving family disputes is often the most difficult case to solve, as the old saying goes, it is difficult for a clean official to decide family affairs, and legal practice will also consider family affection. What's more, the client has affection for Huo Ran, Uncle Fu's meaning is obvious, he thinks that Aunt Ah Fu has been wronged, his expectations are too high, Huo Ran has very little room to play as a lawyer, and it is difficult to meet the client's request.

Huo Ran's dark eyes were silent for a while, seeing that Uncle Ah Fu was about to kneel for him, Huo Ran hurriedly held Uncle Ah Fu, and he said in a deep voice: "I will take over this case, but it is still in the investigation stage, and everything is still unclear, don't worry." ”

Uncle Ah Fu had no owner, and cried with joy: "Okay, thank you, Ah Ran." ”

Su Yu pursed his lips and met Huo Ran's eyes, his dark eyes were still depressed, and the dark light under his eyes was as sharp and distinct as ever.

*

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Aunt Huo took Grandma Huo to her house, and Huo Ran and Su Yu went back to the city to work.

It just so happened that the trial time of Jiang Hanting's case was also arranged, on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, the first day of work, and Aunt Afu's case was still under investigation, and at this stage, the lawyer could not contact it.

On the sixth day of the first lunar month, the office of the law firm.

Su Yu took off her black coat and put on a gray skirt underneath, she carried the file, hurriedly pushed open the door, and put the copied file on the table.

"I recopied the file after the supplementary investigation," she said. ”

The person sitting opposite Huo Ran was Jiang Hanting, his face was expressionless, he glanced at the materials that Su Yu moved in, and listened to Huo Ran quietly: "The prosecutor has prosecuted you for dereliction of duty, and the recommendation is a heavy sentence, if it is established, you will face about 3 to 7 years in prison." ”

Jiang Hanting pinched the bridge of his nose, was silent for a while, and said lightly: "All the procedures for my arrest are legal, and his death was an accident, not my negligence." ”

"But there is no evidence that you are telling the truth."

Jiang Hanting's brows furrowed.

Su Yu raised his eyes to look at Jiang Hanting and said, "There is a problem with the law enforcement recorder." ”

The crease between Jiang Hanting's eyebrows became deeper and deeper, and he pursed his thin lips: "The recorder is broken?" ”

Su Yu didn't answer directly, but asked him: "Have you seen the recorder after the crime?" ”

"Nope. After I found out that Zhou Zhengu had an accident, I immediately rushed to the hospital, on the way, I reported the situation to my superiors, and I didn't have time to check the recorder when I arrived at the hospital. ”

Su Yu's eyelashes fluttered: "Because the law enforcement recorder is full, after recording the first time you suppressed Zhou Zhengu, it stopped recording." ”

In other words, there is no key evidence for Zhou Zhengu's second attempt to escape and detainment.
