Chapter 45: The Truth (6)
On May 16th, there was a light rain in the sky, and this year's rain came earlier than usual, and even before the people on the road put on half their sleeves, the rain came one step ahead of summer.
Yin Hui always felt unsteady after waking up, so she got up early and ate noodles for breakfast, in order to make today's court session smoother. When I arrived at the court, it was just eight o'clock, and the people who worked in the court were clocking in the hall one after another, and Yin Hui sat on the chair in the hall, looking at the people in a hurry in front of her.
After about half an hour, Geng Pei and his assistant came, and even saw Yu Hao and his lawyer, but they still didn't see Xiao Yi.
Yin Hui was a little worried, worried about whether he wouldn't come, so she walked to the corridor and called Xiao Yi over and over again, but no one answered, and when she came back, Geng Pei asked her:
"Lawyer Yin! What about the witnesses! Why hasn't it come yet! He's not coming! ”
“…… No, no, he'll come, he promised me, isn't it Wednesday, it might be the morning rush hour, and it's still raining, there's a traffic jam on the road, wait, it's coming! ”
Yin Hui comforted Geng Pei next to him, and he was still on the phone, seeing that the time for the court was coming, everyone became very anxious, so he decided to go in first, leaving the assistant here to wait for him, but the moment he got up, Yin Hui's colleague ran in from outside, with traces of rain on his shoulders and head, and the man said breathlessly,
"Lawyer Yin! Don't wait for him! He's dead! ”
The information in Lawyer Yin's hand fell to the ground, "dead...... He's dead? How so? He was ...... yesterday."
Geng Pei heard the voice, turned his head and asked, "What's wrong?" Who died? But the brain reacted in a split second, "...... It won't be, it won't be the witness! ”
“……”
Yin Hui didn't answer her, and before she could even recover from her surprise, she heard the assistant next to her ask:
"How is this lawsuit going to be fought now, and is there a direction?"
Geng Pei heard what they said, and said in a panic: "I'm not going to fight!" I'm not fighting! It must be murderous...... It must be ......"
"Geng Pei, calm down first! Now the situation is not clear! Don't ...... yet."
Geng Pei was already completely immersed in fear, and didn't hear Lawyer Yin's words, "Lawyer Yin, I want to withdraw the lawsuit, I want to withdraw the lawsuit now!" They must be warning me! ”
"You calm down first, we won't necessarily lose without witnesses! It's all here, don't you want to get justice? ”
Geng Pei quickly shook his head and said, "I don't want to!" It's not a big deal! ”
Seeing her appearance, Yin Hui shouted, "Geng Pei!! Be sober! What a big deal it is! Yourself...... Have you forgotten yourself? How did he do it to you! ”
“……”
Geng Pei didn't continue, but he had already made up his mind in his heart......
At the beginning of the trial, the judge first asked the identities of Yu Hao and Geng Pei, and then asked both parties if they had any objections to the identities of the people who appeared in court on the other side, and then read out the court discipline and the court began.
However, in less than half an hour they were out. The rain outside also stopped, and the rain on the ground had not dried yet, Yin Hui threw off her high heels, ran out of the gate of the courthouse barefoot, and grabbed Geng Pei, who was about to get into the car.
"Why are you doing this? Why did you say in court that all this was directed and acted by you, why did you say that! ”
Geng Pei wanted to get into the car, but Yin Hui's hand grasped it tighter, "...... Lawyer Yin, now that it's over, I'll tell you the truth! Yu Hao and I are boyfriend and girlfriend! ”
Yin Hui looked dazed, "What...... Is it? Didn't you say he was chasing you and you didn't agree? ”
"That's me lying!"
"You...... Why are you lying? ”
Geng Pei closed the door of the taxi and said: "Not long before that day, the two of us had a quarrel, I said to break up, but he didn't agree, so this happened, in fact, the two of us have lived together for a long time, but I haven't told the people around me about it, after all, I can't hang myself from a tree,
The reason why I sued him was mainly to get a compensation, I know his family's background, it shouldn't be difficult to get some money or something, but I didn't expect to lose the lawsuit last time, I thought someone would prove that he would win this time, but I didn't expect him to die.
Whether his death was accidental or man-made, I don't want to risk it! It's not worth losing your life for money! ”
Yin Hui froze in place, and slowly let go of the hand holding her, "You...... You're lying now, aren't you? You're scared, that's why you're making this up! ”
“…… Whatever you want! ”
"If all this is true! Then why didn't Yu Hao say that you were his girlfriend last time! ”
“…… He~, maybe his family thinks I'm not worthy! That's why I worked hard to win the lawsuit, and I didn't give me a penny, maybe it's more embarrassing to associate with someone like me than the son of Zhenghao Real Estate who was said to be a strong traitor! ”
“……”
Yin Hui instantly felt that the female student in front of her who had not yet graduated from college was a little scary, "Then you don't want to think about it, if someone really killed Xiao Yi, wouldn't you feel guilty in your heart?" ”
"Guilty! But what about guilt? Do you want me to give him back my life? I grew up being bullied, why didn't anyone ask them if they were guilty! Seeing that Lawyer Yin unconsciously took two steps back, he said:
"Lawyer Yin, you must have been living happily! You know, children from poor families like us, if they are not selfish, they often end up with nothing! ”
“……”
Yin Hui felt that her three views had been subverted for a moment, and she couldn't say a word, the driver next to her waited for a long time, and when she saw that she still didn't get into the car, she left.
"The car drove away! I'll just say a few more words to you! Do you think that if you help the poor in a lawsuit for free, these people will appreciate you? Be! Yes, we will be grateful to you, but when we go back to our old lives, no one will remember you! There's no time to remember you at all!
My grandmother, now 80 years old, has to go to the community on crutches every year, compete with a group of old ladies for subsidies, go out and see bottles on the side of the road, and pick them up and take them home to save!
I! It looks like an individual, every year when the school gives a poverty subsidy, he has to give a speech in front of the class, a group of people stand on the podium, talk about how difficult their family is, and the rest of the people vote below,
Although I get the money every time, you know what it's like? It's like having a miserable Olympics and I got a gold medal! And I have to accept the award happily. I just want to live better, what's wrong with me? Do you have to admit this over and over again?
All the poor students need to take that money, but only half of the money can be obtained in the end, so have you ever asked this society, do they feel guilty! ”
When Yin Hui heard what she said, she felt that this was not the reason why she became like this at all, and retorted:
"There are so many people like you, they still rely on themselves to change their lives, just like Xiao Yi, his conditions are similar to yours, but he still relies on his own efforts to change all this!
You just want to get some money, but you're ruining a home, you know? ”
"Lawyer Yin, I admit that I don't have any skills, but God has given me such a face.
And you're wrong again! You just said that you don't know how he died, maybe it was an accident, the kind of accident that can happen if you don't appear in court.
Good! Take 10,000 steps back, even if it is man-made, he was not killed by me, so his family was not destroyed by me! ”
Yin Hui looked at her, it was difficult to accept that under that beautiful face, there was such a femme fatale's heart,
"Why would I help someone like you!!"
After listening to her, a taxi happened to come, Geng Pei stopped it, and left her one last sentence before getting into the car,
"Lawyer Yin, I believe that among the people you help, I am not the first, and I will not be the last, if the lawsuit is won, don't you not see me now!"
“……”
The car drove farther and farther, and Yin Hui stood barefoot on the ground after the rain, but she didn't feel the cold at all.
After the assistant completed the formalities inside and made a phone call, he ran out with Yin Hui's shoes,
"Lawyer Yin? Put your shoes on! How cold it is on the ground! Saying that, she put her shoes on the ground, and when she saw that she didn't respond, she screamed twice, Yin Hui came back to her senses, glanced at the shoes on the ground, put them on, and didn't say a word.
"You asked me to inquire, I inquired, it was a car accident, and the perpetrator had already turned himself in in the morning!"
Yin Hui instantly sobered up: "What about the dead? ”
“…… The deceased should be doing an autopsy! ”
"Where is the perpetrator now? Public Security Bureau? Jail? ”
"In the Public Security Bureau!"
"Let's go! Check it out! ”
When Yin Hui arrived at the Public Security Bureau, she didn't see the perpetrator, nor did she see Xiao Yongchang, she asked the police, but the police didn't tell her anything, and then Yin Hui went to Xiao Yi's house again, and there was no one in the house.
……
Three days later, on the day of Xiao Yi's funeral.
Yin Hui learned about Xiao Yi's case and the place where the funeral was held through the police she knew, and went early.
When he arrived, Xiao Yongchang was the only one in the house, completely different from when he saw him that day, his face was full of stubble, and his hair was a lot whiter.
"Please mourn!"
Xiao Yongchang heard the voice and gradually raised his head, "Lawyer Yin! Come and send Xiao Yi! ”
"Yes!"
"I'm sorry! Xiao Yi still didn't help you in the end! Xiao Yongchangyun said lightly, but his voice was full of vicissitudes.
"Don't say that!" Yin Hui helped him stand up, saw him stumble for a moment, and said, "You still have to pay attention to your body!" ”
Helped him to the side and sat down, drank some water, Xiao Yongchang asked: "Lawyer Yin, how many years can you be sentenced for a drunk driving hit-and-run?" Can you be sentenced to death? I want him to accompany my Xiaoyi's life!! ”
"Facts...... You've found out, haven't you? Yin Hui asked, but her eyes never dared to look at him when she asked.
"I found it out, there was a person named Du Weiguo who hit my Xiaoyi with a drunk driver at night, and then escaped! Xiao Yi missed the time for treatment! After speaking, Xiao Yongchang slapped himself twice, "What do you say I added that day!" Otherwise, Xiao Yi may still be saved! ”
Yin Hui hurriedly stopped him and said, "Don't be like this! No one wants to! ”
"When I arrived, I heard Xiao Yi call me, but they all said that Xiao Yi was already dead at that time, and it was impossible to call me, Xiao Yi must have felt unwilling!" Xiao Yongchang stood up, walked to Xiao Yi's posthumous portrait, touched it lightly with his hand and said:
"Xiao Yi was going to the UK as an exchange student, he wanted to go so much, but now he ......"
……
Yin Hui stayed there for a long time, and it wasn't until relatives and friends came that she left some money and left.
When leaving, Yin Hui's heart was complicated, he felt sad for Xiao Yi's death, but he was very glad that it was an accident, not because he found him to testify and indirectly killed him, Yin Hui didn't know why he thought like this, and even felt a little disgusted like this, sat in the car and cried bitterly.
……
On the day of Xiao Yi's burial, Xiao Yongchang finished everything and returned to the empty home tiredly, when he saw a white envelope on the table, and when he opened it, he saw that it read:
"His death, another murderer, wanting revenge, came to me!"
