Huo Ran's desk was stacked with materials in a mess, and he ordered, "You tidy up the desk first." ”

He sat down on the sofa next to him and began to flip through Su Sheng's file.

Although Su Yu is a daughter, she has been independent since she was a child, and she can't see dirty.

After a while, Huo Ran said, "Give me a pen." ”

Su Yu took a black water-based pen from the pen holder, and suddenly saw a slightly special pen in the pen holder.

Somewhat old, with a pink shell, and a white hairball on the cap with a hanging tag at the end of the hairball.

Su Yu didn't need to look at it to know that the listing was the abbreviation of her name.

This pen, specially designed for her by the designer of this brand, is her favorite pen in college.

When he was a freshman, he was snatched away by Huo Ran.

At that time, she was seriously sorting out her class notes, Huo Ran suddenly came over from behind, took her water cup, and helped her fetch water by the way, and when she came back, she sat in front of her and took away the pen she was taking notes.

He propped his chin with one hand and turned the pen: "Why is your pen so motherly?" ”

Su Yu twisted her eyebrows, stretched out her hand and wanted to take back the pen, she was in a hurry to finish writing, but Huo Ran stood up, staring at her condescendingly, her eyes were dark and bright, and she was careless: "Don't give it." ”

Su Yu was anxious: "What are you doing, pay me back quickly." ”

Huo Ran smiled, lowered his head, and approached her, but his hand held the pen high: "Then you call me Brother Sheng." ”

Su Yu's face was red, and his black and white pupils were full of shame.

In the end, he was reluctant to write, gritted his teeth, and called hard: "Brother......"

The smile in Huo Ran's eyes deepened, and his voice was hoarse: "Good sister." ”

Su Yu's face flushed, he was angry, and he stumbled: "Brother...... Godzilla, yes, I'm talking about Godzilla, not my brother. ”

Huo Ran was amused and laughed, not only took the pen, but also rubbed Su Yu's hair vigorously.

What Su Yu didn't expect was that he had kept this pen for so many years, from his freshman year to the present.

Huo Ran patiently urged again, Su Yu reacted from his stunnedness, handed him the water-based pen, looked at his soft black hair, long eyelashes like feathers, obviously clear and indifferent, but she wanted to touch it.

At noon, the front desk of the law firm came over and asked what to order for lunch.

Huo Ran didn't raise his head, pursed his lips, and was checking the information, as if he hadn't heard anything, and he might not want to pay attention to it.

Su Yu looked at the takeaway menu and directly ordered shrimp and crab porridge in a casserole.

The front desk lady was a little surprised, and when she saw that Lawyer Huo had no objection, her surprise turned to shock, and she couldn't help but look Su Yu up and down, her eyes were subtle, and then she quickly returned to the front desk.

- "Is Mr. Huo chasing a new trainee lawyer?" not only personally guided, but also allowed her to order porridge that he didn't like, hasn't Lawyer Huo always liked to eat pasta? ”

*

The casserole porridge is for four people, so Lu Yuzhou also rubbed it over, he, like Su Yu, lived in the south when he was a child, so he likes porridge.

Huo Ran didn't seem to have any preferences, but Su Yu remembered that after the two were together, she often boiled porridge, and Huo Ran would drink it all every time.

After lunch, Su Yu simply cleaned up the table.

Huo Ran stood in front of the big whiteboard, the black oil pen on his fingertips was written on the whiteboard, and he asked Su Yu to read out Su Shenglu's first transcript.

“…… At about 12 o'clock in the evening, I went out for business, and I didn't return to the rental house until half past one, when it was raining heavily, the apartment was old, and the power went out, so I couldn't see anything, opened the door and went in, and walked directly to the bedroom, but I smelled a strong smell of blood, and stepped on the fruit knife, so I turned on the mobile phone flashlight and picked up the knife, and then I saw a woman lying on the floor covered in blood...... I was so scared that I dropped my phone on the ground, the fruit knife fell to the ground, and my hand was also scratched by the knife, and then I ran away and ran to find my sister......"

Huo Ran paused and asked, "In your transcript, you said that the reason why Su Sheng was looking for you was because he was scared and felt that you had been a prosecutor before, and when you were about to report the case, the police came to the door?" ”

"Yes." Su Yu pursed his lips, "Su Sheng has been dependent on me since he was a child, but I don't know why this time, he refused to tell who he was with and where he went between 12 o'clock and 1:30 o'clock, there was no trace of forced entry in the apartment, and no third person's fingerprints were found, so there was too little room for a not guilty defense." Su Yu turned the page back, "There is no monitoring in this old apartment, and Ah Sheng usually drives out, not to mention that it rained heavily that night, but during that time in the dash cam, there was no driving record at all, unless that night, he really braved the heavy rain to go out on foot or someone came to pick him up, but I asked people to investigate the bars, hotels and clubs that Ah Sheng usually goes to, as well as Ah Sheng's friends, they all said that they didn't see Ah Sheng that night." ”

There was a murder weapon, there were fingerprints on the murder weapon, there was sufficient time to commit the crime, there was no alibi, there were witnesses who witnessed him leave the scene after the victim's death, and drugs were found in the room, Su Sheng even refused to tell the truth, and the procuratorate quickly ended the review and filed a public prosecution with the court on Su Sheng's suspected intentional homicide.

On the day of the pre-trial conference, the major media in City B and countless onlookers gathered in front of the court, because Huo Ran insisted on defending Su Sheng's innocence, which almost provoked public anger.

He kept a calm face, refused to answer anything, and escorted Su Yu into the car.

Back at the law firm, the big screen in the law firm is playing local news -

"Today, the pre-trial conference was held for the intentional homicide case of Su Sheng, the prince of Henderson Group, and his defense lawyer Huo Ran insisted on the defense of innocence.

What flashed on the screen was Huo Ran's indifferent expression, thin lips, cold and hard jaw lines, and cold eyes. In the next second, the camera changed to the picture of Xie Suixing's mother crying silently.

Reporter: "Are you saying that the people of the Su family gave you money?" Are they begging for your forgiveness? ”

Xie Suixing's mother just shook her head, her eyes were red, her hair was messy, and she collapsed: "I won't accept their money, I want my daughter to live well, I want a murderer to pay for her life, my daughter is so well-behaved, why did she go like this, how can I live alone?" A murderer who kills a thousand knives! It was the birthday of the star, but now it has become the death day. ”

Su Yu's cheeks tightened, and her eyes were a little red: "I gave her money, but I just don't want her to have too hard a life alone." ”

Huo Ran stared at the screen, a shallow sarcasm on the corner of his lips.

This is what the media is good at, judging before trial, and by the way, guiding innocent people to stand on what they think is a high place to judge, so as to satisfy their empty and boring hearts that they think they occupy the moral high ground.
