A week later, the trial was formal.

Tang Jingcheng was locked in the dock as a suspect, and the judge summoned witnesses related to the case to the court one by one, including the security guard of Xinyue Bay who found Yang Xi's body, and the small security guard in Tang Jingcheng's apartment, Jiang Chao......

In fact, the facts stated by the witnesses have already been included in the confessions, and the trial is only repeated.

Tang Jingcheng was quiet the whole time. Shaking his head or nodding his head, without saying a word.

In the end, Fang's lawyer asked the judge to call a key witness in the case: "He can prove that the defendant did not go to Xinyue Bay after 9 o'clock on the night of the crime." ”

Tang Jingcheng's face changed suddenly when she heard Lawyer Fang's words, and her eyes looked straight at the courtroom door, until Guan Luo, who was dressed in black, walked in and walked to the witness stand, she closed her eyes in pain.

"Do you love her?"

"Love!"

"Loved?"

"Yes, I love it!"

But in the end, he still appeared in court for her.

After that, lawyer Fang asked Guan Luo in court about the specific situation of being with Tang Jingcheng that night.

He answered calmly one by one, no matter how big or small, including Tang Jingcheng scratching the back of his hand with a corkscrew, including the lingering passion between the two of them, and even how many sexual relations the two had that night were asked clearly by the judge.

Finally, the victim's lawyer asked one last question: "What are the defendant's witnesses?" You said your last sexual intercourse before going to bed happened around two o'clock that night, and you slept after that, right? ”

"Yes!"

"Then how can you be sure that the defendant won't go out and commit a crime while you're asleep? From two to four in the morning, two hours, she had plenty of time to commit the crime! ”

"Impossible!" Guan slightly sneered, "She has autonomic dysfunction, so she often has nightmares after falling asleep at night." That night was no exception, she woke up at about 3 o'clock with a nightmare, I coaxed her for a while, and at about 3:30 she fell asleep again, and I never slept again, because the position of her arms and feet around me was so uncomfortable, that I did not leave her apartment until about 6 o'clock the next morning. ”

When she said these words, Guan Luo's gaze always rested gently on Tang Jingcheng's face, and she always used his gaze as the only guide in the dark hell where her consciousness wandered.

At this point in the trial, there was already a lot of discussion in the courtroom.

The judge asked, "Defendant, may I ask if what the witness said is true?" ”

Tang Jingcheng's eyes were empty and he didn't speak.

Yu Huanxi was in a hurry in the auditorium, although she didn't know why Tang Jingcheng lied when she confessed. But she already realized that the girl was trying to hide Guan Luo's existence.

"Hey, Surprise, speak, say that what he says is the truth!" Yu Huanxi called out to the dock.

The judge hammered: "Please be quiet, please be quiet, please answer my questions!" ”

Tang Jingcheng's consciousness was wandering, but a certain belief in his heart was extremely firm, he glanced at Guan Luo, and finally moved his chapped mouth: "He didn't say anything..."

"Tang Jingcheng, you look at me!" Guan Luo immediately interrupted what she was about to say, "You look at me, look into my eyes. You say you have a seed growing in your heart. You said I was going to give her water to drink, and I couldn't let her die, that's why I'm standing here, you know? Because I can't let her die, that's why I'm standing here! ”

Guan Luo kept repeating the same meaning, and in the end he almost roared out, his eyes were like blades, unwavering.

He was guiding the woman in the dock who was on the verge of a mental and emotional breakdown, and everyone in the court could feel the man's fierce momentum.

Even Yu Huanxi was stunned by the sharpness in Guan Luo's eyes, and she vaguely felt that this man didn't seem to be as simple as he appeared on the outside.

Tang Jingcheng couldn't hear any other sound in her ears, her world was completely closed these days, she locked herself in a dark room, but now Guan Luo was standing in front of her. Stand on her side.

When he came, her world lit up.

"Please be silent, please ask the defendant to answer the question!" The judge struck again.

Guan Luo hooked his lips, Tang Jingcheng saw the light in his slightly curved lips, looked straight at Guan Luo, and said: "What he said is the truth!" ”

Phew—as if the whole world breathed a sigh of relief for her.

Yu Huanxi suddenly collapsed in the auditorium, and Tang Ji clenched the pants on his knees, almost crying.

Half an hour later, the court made a closing argument, and due to insufficient evidence, all doubtful interests belonged to the defendant, and Tang Jingcheng was released in court.

"Tang Tang..."The first to rush over was Tang Ji, after all, he was already over half a hundred people, and in the past few days, because of Tang Jingcheng's case, he seemed to be more than ten years old, his sideburns were gray, and his eyes were cloudy and swollen.

Tang Jingcheng was sad and wanted to shout "Dad", but his voice was choked in his throat.

"Curator Tang." Yu Huanxi supported Tang Jingcheng, who was about to collapse, "She is still emotionally unstable, and your health is not good, why don't you go back first." ”

Tang Ji naturally refused.

Yu Huanxi persuaded again: "Now the entrance of the court must be full of reporters, it is inconvenient for the three of us to go out, and it will affect your reputation if you are photographed, so let's go first." ”

Tang Ji probably felt that it made sense, nodded his head, walked out first, and staggered back mixed in the crowd of people who withdrew from the court, always feeling that he would fall unsteadily for a while.

It wasn't until everyone was almost scattered that Yu Huanxi helped Tang Jingcheng, who was almost weak and boneless, to come out of the court.

Reporters who had been guarding outside the court all morning flocked up, but fortunately, the court police and the security guards outside the door tried their best to stop them, and they were able to get into the car smoothly.

After getting in the car, Tang Jingcheng leaned on the window and looked around, Yu Huanxi held her shoulder and asked, "Are you looking for him?" ”

"......" Tang Jingcheng did not speak.

Yu Huanxi smiled bitterly: "He should have left, do you remember his mobile phone number?" I'll give him a call for you? ”

Tang Jingcheng still didn't speak, was silent for a long time, and shook his head.

"Then I'll send you home first?"

"Hmm." Finally a little bit of air came out of her throat.

Yu Huanxi parked the car downstairs in the apartment, and then went around to the passenger seat to help Tang Jingcheng.

As soon as the two looked up, a person got out of a black car parked not far away.

Yu Huanxi was really surprised, the person who came was actually Guan Liu.

"Why are you here?" Yu Huanxi asked, his eyes glanced at the car behind him, and said half-jokingly, "Yes, Land Rover, yours?" ”

"No, I borrowed it from a friend!"

Yu Huanxi glanced at the corner of his mouth, and he looked like "I know".

Guan Luo didn't bother to pay attention to her, and looked straight at Tang Jingcheng, who was also looking at him.

"Go back and have a good rest, don't think nonsense, I'll come to see you tomorrow!"

The voice was very gentle, and even Yu Huanxi next to her was a little hot when she heard it, but Tang Jingcheng just looked at it stupidly, without any expression, and then pushed away Yu Huanxi's hand holding her and left.

Yes, I just left, and I didn't say a word to Guan Luo.

Guan Luo had mixed emotions in his heart, and received a call from Lao Mai on the road.

"Hey, retired from court?"

“……”

"Then it seems that my call is very timely, don't you have anything to explain to me?" Lao Mai teased.

Guan Luo laughed and drove as he said: "Okay, you can find a place, it's better to have a drink." ”

"That's not simple, just thyme, you don't need to pay for wine on your own land!"

Thyme is located in the most prosperous business district of Yunling, although it is one of the most luxurious nightclubs in the city, but who goes to the nightclub to drink in this blue sky and daytime, so it is very deserted inside.

When Lao Mai and Guan Luo went in, even the doorman was dozing, and when they saw that the two of them were going in, they simply blocked them from the door.

"We're here, we'll come back after dark at night!"

"Hey!" Lao Mai was so angry that his mouth was foaming, "You new here, call me that bastard thing!" ”

The doorman felt that something was wrong when he saw this posture, and his attitude was a little better: "Then please wait here, Brother Lai is sleeping inside, I'll call now." ”

Five minutes after the doorman entered, a chubby man came out of it, yawning profusely, wearing only a vest on his body in the cold weather, and the tattoo on his arm looked a little hideous.

As soon as he saw Lao Mai at the door, the fat man immediately stared at him.

"Ouch, it's really Brother Mai here, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, this newcomer doesn't know the rules!" The fat man Alai slapped the doorman on the head with one hand, and the doorman shrunk his neck in fright.

"See clearly, this is our boss here, Brother Mai, and I will see Brother Mai welcome me in later."

The doorman was so frightened that he didn't even dare to breathe, nodded his head, and hurriedly stepped aside.

Alai turned around and looked at Lao Mai, only then did he find Guan Luo next to him.

"Brother Mai, who is this?"

"I'm his friend!" Guan Luo took the initiative to answer.

Lao Mai snorted: "Fart friend, he is your ancestor!" ”

"......" Alai didn't understand for a while, thinking it was just a joke, and greeted them in with a smile.

After entering, Lao Mai asked Alai for a secluded box.

Alai instructed the waiter to bring wine and a fruit bowl over, and the pestle blindly patted the sycophants at the door: "Brother Mai, you should squeak with me in advance, see that I am not prepared at all, you wait, I will now pick a few clever girls for you to serve." "Just leave.

Lao Mai slapped the table: "You get back for me, don't be a girl, bring a few more bottles of wine, go back and close the box door for me, and everyone will come in and serve!" ”

Alai felt puzzled in his heart, scratched his head, but the boss said that he could only do so, and when he exited the box, he looked at Guan Luo who was sitting in the corner of the sofa, and the man had always had a faint expression from the moment he entered the door, and he didn't say a word.

Soon the waiter brought the drinks and closed the door of the box.

Lao Mai leaned back on the sofa and asked, "Can you talk now?" ”

Guan Luo poured half a glass of wine for him as if nothing happened: "You still ask!" ”

"Okay!" Lao Mai was polite, "First of all, tell me when you and that girl started?" ”

Guan Luo frowned: "I thought you would ask why I had to testify for her in court in the first place!" ”

"No, no, no, I'm most concerned about the relationship between you and that girl! You must know that you have been guarding a Lou Qingxiao for so many years, I wonder why you ended up in her hands? ”

Guan slightly smiled bitterly, in fact, he didn't know about this issue himself, why did he sleep with Tang Jingcheng that night? But he didn't regret it afterwards, because some feelings couldn't deceive people, such as the moment he rushed into her body, wrapped in flesh and skin, ninety-nine to one, as if he had been waiting for this moment for so many years.

That night, he and Tang Jingcheng experienced the purest desires, and there were no distractions, but they were so beautiful that they were obsessed with him, and they could hardly be stopped.

"Maybe it's on the spur of the moment!"

"Fart, you don't have to fucking prevaricate me! I don't know who you are Lao Jiu? The heart is like a rock, the body is as strong as iron, it is you! ”

"......" Guan was speechless and took a sip of wine, "Then how do you want me to answer!" ”

"Are you attracted to her?"

"Do you think it's possible?" Guan slightly sneered, and the swaying light of the wine reflected his eyebrows even more indifferently.

Lao Mai thinks it's unlikely.

"I don't think it's tempting, the people of the moon know that you only have one Lou Qingxiao in your heart, but since you are not tempted, why do you want to testify in court? Don't you hate the Tang family? ”

"Yes, I do hate the Tang family, but before Qiu Qiguan died, I must ensure Tang Jingcheng's safety, not to mention that she is innocent, I hate her father!"

"Poof-" Lao Mai almost squirted out a mouthful of wine, "Don't you feel disgusted when you say this?" Who said that everyone surnamed Tang had to die, why is she innocent again? ”

"......" Guan Luo was suddenly irrefutable, so he could only drink the wine in the cup, "Don't gossip like this, okay?" I asked about my private life, and I came to talk to you about business! ”

"What's the matter?"

"About Yang Xi's death!" Guan Luo lifted Erlang's legs and leaned on the back of the sofa, "I suspect that Yang Xi's death is the same person who arranged the car accident last time, and I looked at the information at the scene of the crime, and the other party handled it cleanly, and it was a one-hit kill, it should be done by professionals." ”

"Could it be Tang Ji?"

"Unlikely! Tang Ji and Tang Jingcheng have a very good relationship, even if he wants to attack Yang Xi, he will not pick such a time, otherwise wouldn't he push Tang Jingcheng into the fire pit? ”

"Then you suspect it is... Su Hongzhi? ”

"I'm just guessing that three years ago, Su Hongzhi stole the first jade unicorn through Tang Ji, and another jade unicorn came out more than half a year ago and was transported to the Yunling Museum to participate in the exhibition, I believe that Su Hongzhi must want to repeat the old trick as he did three years ago, but unfortunately it was hidden by Qiu Qiguan in the end, so I believe that Su Hongzhi must be looking for it. Maybe Qiu Qiguan also hinted at something to Su Hongzhi before he died, such as hinting that Yang Xi knew the whereabouts of the jade qilin, so Su Hongzhi wanted to send someone to attack Yang Xi. "Guan Luo is just speculating, his eyes are bright," and Tang Jingcheng's first confession said that on the day of the crime, she gave Yang Xi the key to Qiu Qiguan's studio vault, but the police did not find the key at the scene of the crime afterwards. ”

"So the murderer actually went for the key?"

Guan slightly sneered, and his eyebrows slowly rose: "If it is not what I expected, someone will soon go to Qiu Qiguan's vault to find another jade unicorn, but unfortunately the jade unicorn is not there at all!" ”

"How do you know?"

"Qiu Qiguan told me before he died!" Guan Luo returned to his previous indifferent expression.

Lao Mai was already stunned by him: "Did you already know where the other jade unicorn was?" ”

"Of course I don't know, but I still need to work so hard?"

"What about you...... Fuck, can you get it done all at once! "Old wheat hair.

Guan Luo drank the wine in the cup: "Qiu Qiguan only told me two things before he died, one, the other jade unicorn was in a newly bought house, and second, to ensure Tang Jingcheng's safety, one day I will know everything from her!" ”

"That's why you're approaching the woman?"

"Yes, I thought at first that Tang Jingcheng knew where the jade unicorn was, but after a period of contact, I found that she didn't know anything about what Qiu Qiguan and Tang Ji did, and that jade unicorn was not in the villa in Xinyue Bay at all!"

"Then why did Qiu Qiguan lie before he died!"

Guan Luo's eyes turned cold, and he poured a little more wine into the cup, and finally suddenly smiled helplessly: "I've been thinking about this question for a long time, why did he lie?" I didn't figure it out until after Yang Xi died! ”

"Why!"

"Qiu Qiguan didn't plan to tell anyone about the place where the jade unicorn was hidden from the beginning, he probably revealed false information to Su Hongzhi on the one hand, and asked Su Hongzhi to check Yang Xi, Yang Xi knew all the illusions in the morning, and lied to me on the other side!"

"And what's in it for him to do that?" The more Lao Mai listened, the more confused he became.

Guan Luo smiled bitterly: "Actually, the reason is very simple, Qiu Qiguan should have known that he would not live long before he died, because he knew too much, Su Hongzhi would attack him sooner or later, but he didn't want Tang Jingcheng to get involved, so he asked Yang Xi to be a substitute for the dead ghost, and he was afraid that after his death, Su Hongzhi would go to Tang Jingcheng, so he lied to me and made me think that Tang Jingcheng knew everything, but in fact, the real purpose was to ask me to ensure Tang Jingcheng's safety." ”

After listening to this, Lao Mai took a long breath: "It's a big game, although I still don't understand it, but one thing is certain, Qiu Qiguan really loves Tang Jingcheng!" ”

Guan Luo drank the wine from the cup, and there were no words.

"Maybe it's because he loves Tang Jingcheng too much, so he hid the jade unicorn and never reported it, because once he reported the case, Tang Ji would be implicated." Old wheat trail self-inference.

Guan Luo's dark eyes flickered slightly: "But he used the wrong way!" ”

The most wrong thing is that Qiu Qiguan found Yang Xi, he originally thought that this was to save Tang Jingcheng, but who would have thought that Tang Jingcheng would feel worse than death when he saw the person she loved the most entangled with other women!

Guan Luo put down the wine glass and got up: "Lao Mai, there are some things that you know as little as possible, I don't want to involve you!" ”

It was rare for Lao Mai to see him so solemn, but he was stunned.

"I'm alone, what am I afraid of! It's you, you've been checking Su Hongzhi, if he detects something, have you ever thought about the consequences? You'll be in danger too! ”

Guan Luo laughed all of a sudden: "Dangerous? I started to mix when I was ten years old, and now that I am sitting in this position, it is estimated that there are many people under my hands who want my life, and I am afraid of one more Su Hongzhi? ”

Lao Mai has nothing to refute.

Some people are like walking on the edge of a knife, the higher the position, the more dangerous it is, every step is stepping on a thin steel wire, and there is a sea of knives and fires under their feet, and there is a danger of breaking bones at any time.

"Be careful yourself, anyway." Lao Mai patted Guan Luo's shoulder, "Also, you have a quarrel with Tang Jingcheng like this, how can Lou Qingxiao explain it?" ”

"She rarely goes online, and I will ask Sister Xin to throw away all the newspapers and magazines in the past few days."

"But paper can't hold the fire, she'll know sooner or later!"

"It's a day to be able to hide it." Guan Luo didn't expect things to come to this point, how could he get to such an embarrassing situation between him and Tang Jingcheng.

"What about Tang Jingcheng, what are you going to do with her in the future?" Lao Mai asked.

That's probably the last thing Guan Luo wants to hear about at the moment.

Lao Mai could only sigh and pinch Guan Luo's shoulder: "Lao Jiu, we have been brothers for so many years, don't I know your temper?" If you don't like it at all, how can you touch her! Lou Qingxiao has been doing this again in the past few years, you are a normal man, you are strong-blooded, and it is normal to have a fire occasionally, but since you plan to move Tang Ji, I advise you to have less contact with Tang Jingcheng, and don't end up putting yourself in. ”

Guan thought for a moment and smiled bitterly: "I know, I'll take care of it!" ”

Guan Luo went to the Ninth Commander after coming out of Thyme, but as soon as the car stopped in the alley, he always felt bored, turned the car and drove out again, not caring that he was drunk driving, and he didn't notice that there was another car behind him following him all the way. PreviousWide Death.

Tang Jingcheng finally drove Yu Huanxi away, put a full tank of hot water in the bathtub, stripped naked and lay down, drilled into it, and dived into the water with his head and face...... The feeling of suffocation was like being locked up in a detention center during this time, there was no air, no light, the whole person's consciousness was always in a state of emptiness, and the only thing she was doing was to exhale and inhale hard......

Poof—she floated her head out of the water, gasping for breath.

The doorbell rang at that time, and Tang Jingcheng didn't hear it, but the people outside the door were so happy that they should clap it with their hands in the end.

She couldn't help it, so she wrapped herself in her bathrobe and went to open the door.
