Su Yu kept up with him and didn't speak.

When they came out of the side door, they saw the media reporters and onlookers gathered in front of the courthouse from a distance, and the prosecutor made a temporary decision to withdraw the case, which completely angered them.

Onlookers protested against the court's shielding of the wealthy and against the injustice of the world.

Media reporters are broadcasting live, playing word games, and from a short sentence, countless meanings are derived, pouring a layer of oil on everyone's anger.

When he opened the car door, Su Yu still couldn't hold back, and looked back at the angry crowd, only to feel absurd and strange.

The car moved smoothly, and she turned her head to look out the window, holding her cheeks, thoughtful.

When waiting for the red light, Huo Ran stretched his hand bones, his slender fingers re-grasped the steering wheel, his dark eyes looked ahead, but a smile appeared on his lips: "The first time to stand on the opposite side of public opinion? ”

Su Yu turned his eyes to look at him, and his eyelashes moved: "No." ”

Huo Ran naturally knew that she had already encountered a confrontation of public opinion because of a misjudgment, and his tone was lazy: "Do you think they are strangers?" ”

Su Yu pursed his lips and just said, "Su Sheng is not a murderer, he shouldn't be abused." ”

Huo Ran didn't even look at her: "Who told you that Su Sheng is not a murderer?" ”

Su Yu was stunned by his question, his heartbeat was faster for a moment, and he retorted: "Doesn't the current evidence show Su Sheng?" The real culprit is Liu Muyang. ”

"However, have you ever thought that the evidence you are seeing so far may be what someone wants you to see."

"You're sophistry."

This time, Huo Ran looked sideways, stared at her for a long time, and his tone was a little cold: "Su Yu, what if, Su Sheng is really the murderer?" ”

Su Yu's heart was numb, and the speed of beating became faster and faster.

She made eye contact with him.

Su Yu looked away first: "Su Sheng is not. ”

"If he is, you won't defend him?"

Su Yu twisted his eyebrows: "If he is, I won't take the case at all, even if he is my younger brother, then he is a murderer." ”

Huo Ran looked indifferent, and said coldly: "But before you take the case, you won't know at all whether he is a real murderer, before the court decides, they are just suspects, you can only get access to the evidence if you take the case, but at this time, the real murderer you think may not be the real murderer." ”

"What if in the process of handling the case, I find out that he is the murderer? All the evidence points to him, am I going to defend him? ”

"You still have a judgment before the trial, you take the case, you are bound by the professional ethics of the lawyer, to help the client's legitimate interests to maximize, even if you have the eye of God, you know that he is a murderer, then he entrusted you, you should also ensure that he gets the most fair and legal trial."

"The fairness of the law does not lie in the fact that you, as a lawyer, must stand on the side of the victim, but in the fact that both the prosecutor and the lawyer do their best to present the evidence in court and confront each other, and form a verdict that is closest to the truth. If everybody is on the side of the victims, as you say, then the country is going to be doomed. ”

Su Yu stiffened slightly, moved his lips, and frowned: "However, lawyers also need social moral restraints and the truth." ”

"What is social morality? Are those who abuse the internet moral, or are the journalists besieged at the gates of the courthouse? The bottom line of a lawyer is not to touch the law and not violate professional ethics. As for the truth, no one can return to the moment of the crime, and the truth we can see is only the superficial truth. ”

The red light turned green, Huo Ran withdrew his gaze, and the black car reintegrated into the city's constant flow of traffic.

The two fell silent, and the atmosphere in the car was a little stagnant and awkward.

Huo Ran's faint voice sounded: "What a lawyer needs is not the truth, but legal and sufficient evidence, the suspect may or may not have committed a crime, the lawyer cannot know the truth, what he can do is to judge whether the evidence can legally convict him in the evidence that the public can see, as long as there is a vacancy, there is no possibility of committing a crime." ”

Su Yu lowered his eyelids, a little dazed, and his mind was a little confused.

There are some truths that she understands reason, but her emotions just can't accept them.

Her idea was simple.

The basic principle of being a human being is to have humanity and social morality, which is above professional ethics.

When she first started studying jurisprudence, she was always puzzled by the simplest of questions – why should a lawyer defend the most heinous offenders?

Later, I slowly understood that it was nothing more than the fusion of Huo Ran's views.

But she was a little refusal.

There was silence in the car for a while, and Huo Ran asked, "Where are you sent back?" ”

Su Yu said, "Go back to my apartment." ”

Huo Ran's slender fingers tapped lightly on the steering wheel, and he let out a casual "um", and the car finally stopped downstairs in a residential area.

Su Yu came back to his senses, unbuckled his seat belt, and looked out.

Only then did I remember that this was not downstairs in her apartment.

Huo Ran had already opened the car door and said, "Let's go." ”

Su Yu asked him, "Where is this?" ”

"My home." Huo Ran's tone was calm, as if he didn't notice her surprise, "Go up." ”

"But I'm going home."

Huo Ran did not answer.

Su Yu didn't know why she went up, Huo Ran opened the door, and she followed in in a daze.

The living room of the apartment is large, with Nordic wood grain floors and a simple geometric coffee table in front of a brownish sofa and a soft light gray carpet.

Su Yu glanced at it, didn't know why, and subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

The apartment seemed somewhat empty, and there seemed to be no trace of a woman's life.

Huo Ran handed her a pair of men's slippers, and he put on the same slippers himself, put down his briefcase, took off his long black coat, loosened his tie, and scattered a little.

"What to drink?"

Su Yu put on slippers, as if he was stealing an adult's shoes: "It's okay." ”

It was winter, Huo Ran simply boiled the water, and after a while, let her make her own tea, and he asked again: "What do you want to eat?" ”

Su Yu was stunned.

Is he going to cook?

Huo Ran twisted his eyebrows, held her wrist, and fixed it, the force was slightly great, and Su Yu was a little painful.

She looked closely, only to realize that the hot water in the kettle was almost overflowing from the small teapot, and she had just lost her mind.

Huo Ran lowered his eyes to look at her: "Be careful." ”

"Oh." Su Yu's eyes fell on Huo Ran's hand holding her, his fingers were slender and white, his bones were distinct, the green tendons on the back of his hand showed strength, and the palm of his hand was tightly pressed against her wrist bone.

The skin on the wrist was hot and hot as if it had been burned by fire.

Her skin was thin, she was already prone to blushing, and now her ears were flushed with red.
