Hearing Gou Shun's answer, there was an uproar in the auditorium, and the three white-haired people were also stunned, only the recorder on the side, holding a pen, was busy writing something.

It is said that the presiding judge has tried cases for more than 20 years, and he has never seen such a neat confession, but he knocked on the table with a small mallet again, signaled everyone to be quiet, and said: "The party is obedient, why did you kill Xia Rushi?" ”

"I don't know." Gou Shun said expressionlessly.

"Since you were the one who committed the murder, how could you not know the motive? The presiding judge has the right to remind you that you should be lenient in your confession and strict in your resistance. The presiding judge said solemnly.

"Please sentence me to death, and execute it immediately."

The presiding judge was even more surprised by this request, he was accustomed to seeing people who refused to admit death in court, repented and pleaded for mercy in court, and had never seen anyone who asked for his death sentence.

I saw that after the presiding judge communicated with the two judges for a while, he looked at Gou Shun and said: "Gou Shun, since you have admitted that you are the murderer in this case, do you have anything else to say?" ”

"Nope."

"Okay, now that the client has admitted the crime, does the defender have anything else to say?" The judge on the left asked.

I saw a man in a suit and tie, about thirty-five or sixteen years old, slowly walked to Gou Shun's side, bowed to the front, and said loudly with a confident smile on his face: "Of course there is." ”

This person Gou Shun knew, his name was Hua Yan, and the lawyer An Ran hired for him, he had gone to the Alert Bureau to find Gou Shun.

He told Gou Shun that he knew that Gou Shun was wronged, and that he could return Gou Shun's innocence, and hoped that Gou Shun could answer some of his questions.

Gou Shun didn't answer his question, and when he left, he said that he would definitely find evidence, and he had such a smile on his face at that time.

I saw him walk to Gou Shun's side, take out a hard disk and hand it to the operator, who connected it to the computer and handed over the operation pen to Huayan.

Hua Yan took the operation pen and clicked on a folder, and then clicked on a photo.

The photo is the one that Qian Yan and they looked at before, and the rhetoric is also very similar to that of Qian Yan, and after finishing speaking, the auditorium began to discuss again.

At this time, I saw another man in a suit come forward, this person was about forty years old, and the sign on his chest had his name written on it, Qiao Yu.

Since Xia Rushi's parents did not have personal freedom, the court specially arranged for her to be the prosecutor Qiao Yu.

I saw Qiao Yu come forward, glanced at Hua Yan, and said with a smile: "Regarding the defender's analysis just now, this prosecutor has three questions, first of all, the defender has made some speculations based on the photos, and there is no tangible evidence. Secondly, the defender only explained people's habit of holding knives, so can't you kill people if you hold knives in an unaccustomed posture? Finally, assuming that according to the defender's habit of holding the knife, it can only mean that the murderer is facing the murderer, and if the murderer is holding the victim with one hand behind his back and committing the murder with the other, isn't that also the way of holding the knife with the thumb and index finger facing outward? Therefore, it is better to ask the defender to draw less inferences and speak with evidence. ”

Hua: "Judging from the results given by the Alert Bureau, there are only the fingerprints of the victim on the murder weapon, not the fingerprints of my client, is this considered evidence?" ”

Joe: "Of course not, it is very likely that the defendant was well prepared in advance, wore gloves or used other methods to remove the fingerprints on the murder weapon, because there were fingerprints on the victim's clothes that the defendant could not remove." ”

Hua Yan listened, clicked on a surveillance screen, and said: "According to the forensic autopsy report, the victim was killed between 7 and 8 o'clock in the morning, this is the surveillance video of the hotel, my client walked out of the hotel at 4:15 in the morning, and has not returned to the hotel since then, and the hotel front desk staff can testify." ”

After the hotel front desk testified in court, Qiao Yu was still unconvinced: "It may be that the defendant avoided the front desk and surveillance through some other hidden channels, and after returning to the hotel to commit murder, he left through this channel." ”

I saw Hua Yan click on a section of surveillance again, this is a convenience store, when the time shown on it is 6:45, Xia Rushi appeared in the picture and bought a pack of cigarettes and a fruit knife.

Hua: "It can be seen from the picture that the murder weapon was bought by the victim, which means that she already had plans to commit suicide at this time. ”

Joe: "The victim just bought a fruit knife, she may just want to cut the fruit." ”

Hua: "But the hotel didn't find any fruit. ”

Joe: "Then she can also use it for other things, such as cutting some other things, such as manicures, and at this time the defendant came back and saw that he was interested in it, so he used a fruit knife to commit murder." ”

Hua Yan listened, ignored him, but clicked on the next section of monitoring, the time of monitoring is six o'clock, the monitoring is facing a bench, and there is a person sitting on the bench, it is Gou Shun.

Hua Yan finished the monitoring at 8 times the speed, and Gou Shun sat in the chair in the picture and didn't move until the guard came and took him away.

I saw Hua Yan looking at Qiao Yu, and said with a disdainful smile: "From the surveillance, it can be seen that the victim was fine when he appeared at the convenience store at 6:45, but my client was already sitting on a park bench at 6:10 and had not moved, so he has sufficient alibi evidence, and he cannot be the murderer." ”

Seeing this, Qiao Yu didn't know how to defend for a while, only to see him say angrily: "Since you have alibi evidence, why don't you just take it out and go around in such a big circle??" ”

"Of course, I don't want to take it out directly, because I want to see Lawyer Qiao you make a mistake step by step, and then appreciate your angry appearance, presiding judge, is this okay?"

I saw that after thinking for a moment, the presiding judge said solemnly: "Defender, although there is no clear rule that says no, for the sake of the efficiency of the trial, you still have to pay attention to it in the future." ”

At this time, Qiao Yu was obviously a little unhappy, I saw him walk up to Gou Shun, look at Gou Shun's eyes, and said sternly: "Defendant, since you didn't kill the victim, why do you want to admit it?" ”

Without waiting for Gou Shun to answer, I saw Hua Yan come forward and said with a smile: "I want to remind the prosecutor, please don't intimidate my client, my client is simply willing to admit it, can't you?" Presiding Judge, there is now sufficient evidence to prove that my client is not the murderer, so I think that my client has the right to refuse to answer this question. ”

The presiding judge thought for a moment, looked at Gou Shun, and said, "Defendant, you can choose to answer this question or refuse to answer. ”

Gou Shun listened, but did not speak.

"Defendant, do you have anything else to say?" The judge asked.

"I'm the murderer, sentence me to death." Gou Shun still said with a desperate face.

The auditorium began to discuss again, and the presiding judge and the judges also began to discuss.

About half an hour later, the presiding judge knocked on the table again with a small mallet.

After everyone quieted down, only the judge said loudly: "After interrogation, the defendant Gou Shun and the evidence of murder is insufficient, and this court now announces that the defendant Gou Shun will be acquitted in court!" ”

Gou Shun stood motionless in the small wooden lattice, the presiding judge and the judge left, the recorder left, Hua Yan left with a smug face, Qiao Yu left with a slight anger, the people in the auditorium left, Gou Shun glanced back, and An Ran also left.

Gou Shun stood dumbfounded, he didn't know where to go, he didn't know what to do, his home was gone, his love was gone, his job was gone, he couldn't die if he wanted to.

Two guards came and asked Gou Shun to leave quickly, but he didn't move, so he was thrown out of the door.

He got up from the ground and staggered forward.

"Gou Shun." An incomparably familiar voice came from behind him, with a hint of hesitation and a hint of sadness in it.

Gou Shun couldn't help but turn his head, and sure enough, it was Enron.

An Ran bit her lip, as if she had plucked up a lot of courage, only to see her take out a card from her pocket, hand it to Gou Shun, and said: "There is 500,000 in it, you take it, find a good girl again, and live a good life with her." ”

Gou Shun didn't answer, nor did he speak, and the tears flowed uncontrollably again.

"Gou Shun, don't cry, I don't want to see you cry, don't cry, okay? I beg you. An Ran said, tears welling up in his eyes.

Speechless, tears rippled, time seemed to freeze, everything around seemed to be still, only tears, constantly wet clothes.

An Ran calmed down first, only to see her wipe away her tears, take her hand back, and say, "Actually, I already knew that you wouldn't want it, but this is the only thing I can do for you in the end." ”

"I have nothing to do with Xia Rushi." Gou Shun looked at An Ran and said.

"I know that no one in this world knows you better than I do."

"Let's forget everything and start over, shall we?" Gou Shun seemed to convince himself.

I saw An Ran smile helplessly, and said faintly: "If you didn't see it, I might be able to lie to myself for the rest of my life, but you did." ”

"It's okay, I don't care." Gou Shun raised his voice slightly.

However, An Ran shook his head and said: "No, Gou Shun, once some things happen, you can never go back, unless you don't love them, two people can cooperate with each other to act, I'm not a good actor, and you're not." ”

"No, I love Enron, and it has nothing to do with all that mess."

"No, what you like is the previous Enron, but it's a pity that she is dead, and now this Enron is not worthy of you." An Ran's expression was a little desperate.

Gou Shun didn't know what to say, and tears blurred his eyes again.

I saw An Ran sigh and said: "Gou Shun, don't cry, I gave you all the love in this life, and the rest belongs to reality, even if the love is deep, it can't withstand the ruthless destruction of reality, and beautiful love may be so vulnerable in the face of reality." ”

Gou Shun was silent for a moment and said, "An Ran, I know you're not that kind of person. ”

"It's come to this, it doesn't matter who I am, since I can't be the most perfect woman in your heart, I'd rather be the woman you hate the most in your life, you can blame me, you can hate me, as long as you can come out of this shadow quickly." It can be heard that in An Ran's tone, he is still very concerned about Gou Shun.

Gou Shun didn't speak, he didn't know if he should try to keep An Ran anymore, would she come back? When she comes back, can you give her happiness?

Facts have proven that he can't give her happiness, so why keep it? Is it because of selfishness?

"You're going to have to take care of yourself in the future." Gou Shun said this, and his heart was like a knife.

"Thank you, you too, I've taken my things, you can go home." After An Ran finished speaking, he turned his head and walked away.

Gou Shun saw her raise her arm, as if she was constantly wiping her eyes, and suddenly, he remembered the night of the graduation dinner, An Ran chased after him, stood on the wooden railing of the river, and forced him to say those three words, I love you.

If those three words hadn't been spoken, wouldn't we have been as uncomfortable as we are now?
