Huo Ran's eyes were calm, and he looked at Xu Cheng quietly: "This is Uncle Fu's decision?" ”

"Yes, it was my wife's decision." His eyes were bloodshot, tired and embarrassed, "I know that Lawyer Huo has strong business ability, and I also know that if you fight a lawsuit, you don't even have to go to jail as a murderer, and you can say that you are alive." His tone was very flat, but there was a faint hint of sarcasm, "My dad was too anxious a few days ago, and he was blinded, so he was in a hurry to find you, he has calmed down now, my mom ......"

He paused, his voice hoarse and choked: "My mom did something wrong, and she should pay for what she did......"

He propped his hands on the table and said, hiding his face with his hands, and he could see that he was under a lot of pressure.

Su Yu looked at him, took out a tissue from the side, and gently placed it in front of him, she pursed her lips: "Can you tell me why you decided not to entrust it?" The aunt is in court and needs a lawyer. ”

Xu Cheng put down his hand, his eyes were red, he tensed the lines of his face, and looked at Su Yu: "I will entrust another law firm, or directly accept the legal aid designated by the court." ”

Su Yu was puzzled, her brows furrowed: "Is our law firm bad?" ”

"It's not bad." Someone else pushed open the door to the meeting room.

A few people turned around and saw a woman, standing in the doorway with a pale face, followed by the front desk.

Huo Ran raised his eyes and said to the front desk, "It's okay, you go and get busy." He looked away at the woman.

The woman walked in.

Xu Cheng stood up, a little surprised, and said, "Xiaoyue, what are you doing here?" ”

The woman called Xiaoyue had red and swollen eyes: "Xu Cheng, I'm here to see what you're going to do!" Our daughter died, she was killed by your mother, but you only think about helping the murderer get away with it, are you worthy of our daughter? She's still so small, so small...... She's only been here for a few days......"

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Xu Cheng walked over quickly and held the woman's hand, "Don't come over and mess around, go out first, I'll talk about it right away." ”

"I'm not messing around, Xu Cheng, did you hear it, I don't allow you to hire a lawyer for your mother! Otherwise, we'll get divorced! Xiaoyue pursed her lips tightly, her eyes were full of cyan gloom, she turned her head and stared at Huo Ran and Su Yu, "Xu Cheng is still a man!" The reason why he wants to cancel the commission is not because you are not good, but because Lawyer Huo is too powerful, no matter what crime he committed, after his defense, most of them are acquitted, I admire him very much, black can be said to be white. ”

She smiled, her eyes were full of sarcasm, her pale eyes looked at Huo Ran, and tears flashed in the corners of her eyes: "If my mother-in-law is defended by you, is she innocent again, or given a suspended sentence, at most a year or two, she can be happily released from prison again." But what should I do with my daughter, my daughter was killed by her, who will pay for her life! Why can an old woman be happy, but my daughter has lost her life! I will never forgive her, I want her to be sentenced to death, only her death can comfort my daughter! ”

"Xiaoyue!" When Xu Cheng heard the last sentence, his pupils dilated, and he gritted his teeth, "What nonsense!" ”

"Am I talking nonsense? Then why don't you ask your mother, why did you kill my daughter? After all these years, I've had enough! I'm really fed up, Yingying was abused by her, and I was tortured every day, I endured all of this, because she was your mother, but why was she so ruthless and killed my child! Does she want a grandson so much?! ”

Xiaoyue's emotions were already on the verge of collapse, her lips were pale, her eyes were a little dizzy, she shook it, and she almost fainted.

Xu Cheng hurriedly supported her: "Xiaoyue? Xiaoyue didn't completely lose consciousness, she was probably too tired, Su Yu poured her a glass of water, and whispered, "Take a sip first." ”

Xu Cheng didn't answer, he looked anxious and a little impatient, and said directly to Huo Ran: "Lawyer Huo, we don't entrust the case, so be it." ”

After saying that, he hurriedly helped his wife to leave.

Huo Ran took a long step and a slender figure, he helped to support Xiaoyue, and sent it all the way to Xu Cheng's car, Xu Cheng closed the door.

Huo Ran looked at him, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his voice was clear and calm: "Mr. Xu, the commission of the case was entrusted by me and your father, and if you want to cancel the commission, it must be him himself, so I will contact him." ”

Xu Cheng wrinkled his brows tightly, and there seemed to be anger rising between his eyebrows, but his wife was not feeling well, and he didn't say anything to Huo Ran, stepped on the accelerator, and rushed to the hospital.

Back in the law firm's office, Su Yu was sitting in her office chair, she was looking at the computer, and there was a USB flash drive plugged into the computer.

Lu Yuzhou was lowering his eyes, also looking at the file, he heard footsteps, raised his head, he paused, and said, "The one just now came to terminate the contract?" ”

"Hmm."

Huo Ran put the coat he had taken off on the back of the chair.

Lu Yuzhou put down the pen in his hand, his shirt was slightly exposed, and he said, "What do you think?" ”

"What can you think?" Huo Ran didn't seem to care much, his eyebrows were soothing, "It's Uncle Afu's son who came to terminate the contract, but it was Uncle Afu who entrusted me, and he didn't have a power of attorney or anything like that, I will confirm with Uncle Afu, if Uncle Afu really wants to cancel the entrustment, then take a look." ”

Lu Yuzhou was silent for a while, he folded his long legs, leaned on the sofa, and said: "Actually, it's better not to take it, this case is difficult to bite at first glance, they are a family, you are involved, it is easy to be not a person inside and out." ”

Huo Ran's expression was very light, and he smiled: "Yes, but I promised to take over the case, if Uncle Ah Fu really had this idea, then I wouldn't take care of this case anymore." As he spoke, he walked behind Su Yu, bent down slightly, and looked at Su Yu's computer screen, on which a surveillance clip was playing.

Lu Yuzhou saw that the two were going to discuss the case, so he went back to his office.

Huo Ran looked at the screen fixedly, and said: "Jiang Hanting has a cousin who used to have a good relationship with him, but when his cousin was in college, he was accidentally infected with drugs, and since then he has been out of control, and a few years ago, he died of a drug overdose. ”

Su Yu was stunned.

Huo Ran's thin lips moved slightly: "So, Jiang Hanting admits that he does hate drug addicts because of his cousin, and takes in drug addicts and drug dealers." ”

"Prosecutor Lin plans to start from this?"

"She'll mention that, and as a motive, I'll object to it, but I don't know if the court will take that opinion."

Su Yu thought for a while: "This is too reluctant as a motive. ”

"It's very reluctant, but when the case can't be advanced, this motive becomes extremely credible, because Jiang Hanting has a prejudice with private feelings against drug addicts, and with Ms. Zhang's testimony, Jiang Hanting's refusal to save Zhou Zhengu's death is not so difficult to understand."

Su Yu's eyelashes moved slightly, yes, now under the pressure of public opinion, social media has been swiped by this incident, almost one-sided accusations against the government and the police, anyone who speaks for the police and the government will be ridiculed by the group, public opinion hopes that someone can come out to take responsibility, and the person they hope for is Jiang Hanting.

Su Yu looked up at Huo Ran, and she said, "Ms. Zhang's testimony has loopholes, you can question her when the court starts tomorrow." ”

She thought of something, and went to turn the dossier again, she pursed her lips, her eyelashes fluttered, and her white fingers turned the page quickly, she stopped at the page of Ms. Zhang's transcript, under which there was Ms. Zhang's handwritten signature, as well as her fingerprints, which were Ms. Zhang's transcript of identifying Jiang Hanting.

Su Yu hung her head slightly, Huo Ran helped her hold down this page, and she went to look at the other things in the file bag, because it was returned to the investigation, so in addition to the text version, the video data of the interrogation was also submitted.

Su Yu has always been careful in doing things, when she went to the court to copy the information, it was already classified, she found the USB flash drive, inserted it into the computer, and found Ms. Zhang's interrogation materials from the folder named "Jiang Hanting", and she clicked on the video.

A simple table, an incandescent lamp hung above several people, two policemen sat on the left, and Ms. Zhang sat on the right.

The policeman asked, "Were you at the door of the bar that night and saw the police arresting someone?" ”

"See."

"Do you see what the police look like? You were the only witness you could find that night. ”

Ms. Zhang nodded.

Another policeman took out a whole row of photos, placed them in front of Ms. Zhang, and asked, "Do you remember which one?" You identify it. ”

Ms. Zhang's gaze wandered back and forth in the eight photos.

Su Yu's eyes were calm, until after watching this video, she tilted her head slightly, her eyes lit up a little, and she whispered: "There is a problem with this question." ”

Huo Ran's dark eyes became deeper and deeper, he tilted his head, a smile appeared, and he also understood the meaning of Su Yu's series of actions today.

Huo Ran leaned over and almost took Su Yu in his arms, his chin rested lightly on Su Yu's head, his slender fingers controlled the mouse, and clicked on the surveillance clip of the convenience store, Ms. Zhang was wrapped in a coat, but it could be seen that she was wearing thick pajamas under her coat.

Huo Ran went to check the previous information about Ms. Zhang, including the photos and texts she had posted on the Internet, and after a while, Huo Ran suddenly typed "Song Yiming" and "Zhao Shu" again, and he explained briefly: "I asked Lu Baptist to check, and Jiang Hanting also mentioned these two people in the afternoon." ”

Su Yu nodded, and at this time, a text message was sent to her mobile phone, from Su Zhiguo, he said, "I'll go home tonight, don't run around." ”

Su Yu couldn't help laughing, she wasn't a child, so where else could she run around.

Huo Ran said, "Let's go, I'll send you back." ”

When she arrived at the mid-level villa, Su Yu got out of the car, she looked in the direction of the yard, and didn't see Su Zhiguo's car, so she lay down next to the window, didn't speak, but was a little reluctant.

Huo Ran touched her cheek with his fingertips, his fingers curling.

She hooked his neck, her dark eyes were clear, as if there was a mist, she leaned in, and touched the tip of her nose, which was soaked in cold air.

When you are in love, you are so bored, you can secretly rejoice for a long time when you touch the tip of each other's nose, a finger, or a corner of your clothes.

She didn't kiss him, but the breath was around him, and she stared into his eyes: "Kiss?" ”

He didn't move.

She said, "That'...... See you tomorrow. ”

Huo Ran touched her hair, her voice was a little hoarse, and she smiled: "See you tomorrow." ”

There is a reason why he is not close, from his point of view, he can just see the window on the second floor, Su Zhiguo has a stinky face, staring at him.

Where did he dare to take the initiative to move his feet to the Su family's father-in-law.

Huo Ran put his right hand on the car window and quietly watched Su Yu enter the courtyard, and the servant of the Su family greeted her: "Miss is back." ”

Huo Ran didn't raise his eyes until he couldn't see her figure, looking at Su Zhiguo on the second floor, Su Zhiguo's expression was cold, his pursed lips did not have the slightest curvature, and the air pressure was very low.

Huo Ran was still thinking about whether to get out of the car and say hello, Su Zhiguo had already left the window.

Su Yu walked into the living room and saw her father, her steps paused slightly, and her heart was a little empty, I don't know if he saw her and Huo Ran together just now.

Su Zhiguo was reading today's newspaper, and when he knew that Su Yu was back, he didn't even take his eyes off.

Su Yu smiled: "Dad, you're back." ”

"Hmm." Su Zhiguo's tone was emotionless and very flat.

"I'll go take a shower and change my clothes first."

Su Zhiguo didn't speak, Su Yu glanced at Aunt Lin standing at the door of the kitchen, and bent her eyebrows at Aunt Lin, she was about to go upstairs, Su Zhiguo's deep voice came again: "Su Yu, where did you go a few days ago?" ”

Su Yu was stunned.

Without waiting for Su Yu to answer, Su Zhiguo turned a page of the newspaper and said, "Don't lie, I'm not old yet, and there is nothing in this family that can hide from me." He paused, "Going to the country again?" ”

He put down the newspaper in his hand: "Everyone goes to high places, but you like to go low." ”

Su Yu turned around and sighed softly in her heart, she didn't know what to say, but she had grown so big and had been with her father for so many years, she knew that the more she was tough, the more useless it was.

She admitted it directly and said seriously: "I went to Huo Ran's house on the first day of the new year to pay New Year's greetings...... Dad, I'm serious......"

"Seriously?" Su Zhiguo asked rhetorically as he picked up the newspaper again, and he suppressed his anger, "You're just too young...... Forget it, for the New Year, I won't tell you this, tonight we will make up for the reunion dinner that we haven't eaten in the Chinese New Year's Eve, you go to take a bath. ”
