Lu Xingchen put down the spoon, shook his head and said, "No." According to the provisions of the Penal Code, 'the death penalty shall not be applied to persons under the age of eighteen at the time of the commission of the offence', no minor shall be sentenced to death regardless of the offence. ”

"He was under eighteen years old when he sinned, but he is now an adult." Mencius continued to ask.

Lu Xingchen explained, "The time of the crime refers to the time when the criminal act is committed, if the crime is under the age of 18, even if the trial is already 18 years old, this provision should be applied, and the death penalty is the most severe punishment, because the person under the age of 18 is still in the process of physical and psychological development, the cognitive ability and control ability are still relatively weak, therefore, the crime has not yet reached the level of extremely serious and unbearable reform, it is not suitable to apply the death penalty." ”

Mencius suddenly slammed the table with some righteous indignation, "It's really angry! Mo Shushu is really pitiful, meeting such parents made him lack family love, his personality became distorted, and he hurt others and lost his own life! After a pause, she hurriedly asked him again, "How will the law judge!" ”

"According to the Criminal Law, 'a person who has reached the age of 14 but is not yet 18 years old shall be given a mitigated or commuted punishment for committing a crime', but whether the punishment is mitigated or mitigated and the extent of the mitigated sentence shall be determined on the basis of the specific case." Lu Xingchen replied.

"Then can he turn himself in and be punished lightly?"

Lu Xingchen snorted, "The sentencing for intentional homicide and voluntary surrender should also be determined according to whether the perpetrator has a criminal record, the means and methods of committing the crime, and the subjective intention. ”

Mencius turned around, took Lu Xingchen's hand, and said with emotion, "No matter what, Mo Shushu is a big mistake to illegally deprive others of their lives, I hope the law can punish him lightly and give him a chance to mend his ways!" ”

After eating, Lu Xingchen and Mencius both said that they would go to the temple to offer incense to Lu Weizhou.

When they came back, they passed by the vegetarian restaurant they had been to before, Mencius suddenly had an idea, so he asked Lu Xingchen to stop, and before getting out of the car, she asked Lu Xingchen to wait for her outside, and she would come back soon.

Of course, Lu Xingchen didn't follow her, but asked the reason before letting her in.

About an hour later, Mencius was carrying two white bags in his hands, and when he looked closely, they were white transparent packing boxes, both of which were filled with food.

Mencius wanted to take them to the car, but was stopped by Lu Xingchen, but he got out of the car, took them from her hand, and said while opening the trunk, "What if it is spilled?" ”

Mencius, "..."

Back in the car, Lu Xingchen teased her, "This is your tactic." ”

It turned out that Mencius had the idea of turning her grandfather's orchid garden into an orchid garden vegetarian restaurant with orchids as the main dish.

Mencius smiled smartly, took out his phone from his pocket, opened it and showed him, "Not only that, but I also took pictures of their menus." ”

Lu Xingchen smiled helplessly, and warned her while starting the car, "You don't."

If you want to be rigid, others will sue you for infringement when you go back, and my husband, who is a lawyer, can't help you! ”

Mencius replied to him while looking down at his phone, "Don't worry, how can you know the law and break the law if you mess with you?" At this time, Lu Xingchen turned his head and glanced at her with a slight frown, "Speak well!" Mencius obediently sighed and continued, "I'm just borrowing from it at most, maybe I'm still blue?" ”

She chuckled a little smugly.

Lu Xingchen couldn't help but be amused by her, "You can find what you like to do, of course I support it, but this time, you are not allowed to be hot for three minutes, this is a relic left by my grandfather, you must take it seriously." ”

Mencius put his phone back in his pocket, looked out the window with expectant eyes, and replied seriously, "Got it." ”

Regarding Mo Shushu's litigation matters, Lu Xingchen, as a relative of the plaintiff, is not easy to come forward as Mo Shushu's agent, he can only help him find the best lawyer, during which he did his best to provide information and clues that are conducive to Mo Shushu's commutation, so busy, it is a week's time.

This week, Mencius was busy with her food career, in order to learn more vegetarian dishes, she almost ran all over the vegetarian restaurants in S City, including tasting dishes, although tired, but she enjoyed it, and she was able to taste the food indirectly, why not?

Although the two of them were busy every day for a week, but in the evening, when they returned to the apartment, Mencius asked Lu Xingchen to help her massage her shoulders, neck, hands and feet, in fact, she was greedy for his very professional methods, so she really felt much more comfortable when she pressed it down, but sometimes she was inevitably teased by him wantonly.

On the night of the weekend, Mencius also dragged his tired home, Lu Xingchen came back earlier than her, he had already washed, he was reading books in the study, and she went directly to the study to find him.

As soon as I entered the study, I saw him sitting on the couch reading a book, so I walked up to him and cried out, "I'm so tired! My legs are so sore! I vowed to take the driver's license test next year, and I would never squeeze the bus again, and I finally had a seat, but I had to give up my seat to my grandmother, I was so tired..."She said and sat directly on Lu Xingchen's lap, tired and fell into his arms.

Lu Xingchen had no choice but to close the book and put it on the small table on the couch, and then helped her rub her calves and joked to her, "It will be here in a few days next year." ”

Mencius was stunned for a moment before replying, "Yes! It's New Year's Day in two days. After a pause, she seemed to suddenly be interested, sat down in his arms, and asked him, "How did you celebrate New Year's Day before?" Is there a countdown? Fireworks? ”

Lu Xingchen smiled, "Not really, because after working overtime, the year has passed." ”

Mencius was distressed and amused, "You workaholic! However, this time is different," she commanded coquettishly, tugging at his ear, "you can't leave my beautiful wife to work overtime this year, this is the first holiday I've ever had with you, why do you have to accompany me to work overtime after counting!" ”

Lu Xingchen smiled intently at her, "By the way, how did the dishes go?" ”

Mencius suddenly reacted, "I was about to tell you one thing, after trying all the dishes of the vegetarian restaurant, I think it is still not as delicious as the vegetarian restaurant in the temple, and it is not as good as the taste or appearance, so I plan to go to the apprenticeship to learn art!" ”

Lu Xingchen was stunned for a moment, "Apprenticeship?" You don't want to be taught by the chef of a vegetarian restaurant, do you? ”

Mencius kissed him on the cheek and praised him, "Clever! ”

Lu Xingchen was silent for a while, and asked her seriously, "Are you serious?" ”

Mencius patted his chest and replied very firmly, "Of course, although I still have to hire a professional chef, I don't want to be a foodie who only eats and can't cook, I want to experience it, and the most important thing is that the chef of that vegetarian restaurant knows how to cook orchid dishes." ”

Lu Xingchen felt funny, "So stealing a teacher is your purpose." ”

Mencius was said to be thinking about the center, and smiled a little awkwardly, "For the sake of my grandfather, I let it go." However, I am willing to learn, and other masters are willing to teach! ”

Lu Xingchen advised her, "It's not a simple matter to enter the kitchen, you have to think about it." ”

Mencius nodded and began to gush, "I plan to open it during the Spring Festival, because at that time, many people who go out to work or live outside will return to Rongcheng Township to visit relatives, and relatives and friends will inevitably gather for dinner during the Chinese New Year, the point is,"

"Nowadays, many people pay attention to health and don't like to eat too greasy things, vegetarian dishes are their best choice, and they enjoy orchids while eating, how pleasant! It's so perfect for people who have worked hard all year long, and I really admire myself that they can buy a few pots of orchids after eating! Haha..."

Lu Xingchen couldn't help but smile when he saw her intoxicated, and also praised her, "The idea is very good!" ”

"Then do you support me to go to the apprenticeship?"

"Of course."

"But," Mencius's expression suddenly became a little embarrassed, and he watched Lu Xingchen's reaction as he spoke, "I may have to go there to live for a while." ”

As expected, Lu Xingchen was of course displeased, and in the end, he took the opportunity to pick her up, with a hint of a man's vague and well-known smile on his lips, and then walked to the bedroom, Mencius knew what he was going to do to her, and hurriedly said, "I haven't taken a bath yet!" ”

"Isn't there a bedroom?"

Mencius, "..."

This night, Mencius really experienced what is called the tenderness of eating bones, and afterwards, she actually teased him, if she was not there during this time, then what would he do?

As a result, for several nights, she paid a "heavy price" for her unintentional joke, because she was talking about Lu Xingchen's troubles, which also meant that he was not willing to let her leave half a step at all.

The day before New Year's Day, Mencius dragged a sore back body to the taekwondo gym to find Han Shiyu, she wanted to discuss with her how to celebrate New Year's Day, of course, it was to carry Lu Xingchen and Li Shengnan, they planned to surprise them, but Mencius was in high spirits, but Han Shiyu was a little

Not convinced.

No, she complained to Mencius, "Sister, we all already have men, shouldn't they do this thing romantically?" Why do we want to break our heads here! ”

Han Shiyu said as she took out a set of taekwondo clothes from the cabinet and gave it to Mencius, who was so frightened that he refused again and again.

It turned out that Mencius had been learning taekwondo from Han Shiyu, and this time, Han Shiyu just habitually took clothes to Mencius to change, but Mencius's sudden refusal made her a little disappointed.

"Sister, haven't you learned the whole set I taught you? Why don't you learn it? ”

Mencius wanted to explain, but it was difficult to speak, so he could only point to his waist and back, showing an embarrassed expression to her, but he didn't expect Han Shiyu to understand what she meant in seconds, and asked her curiously, which made Mencius's face completely red.

"Stop, Shiyu, it's important for us to talk about business, it's going to be the countdown tonight, we haven't figured out how to surprise them yet?"

Han Shiyu paused her questioning, but after they discussed the matter, before Mencius left, Han Shiyu continued the question just now, "Sister, how do you feel about thefirsttime?" ”

Mencius, "..."

Although Mencius was ashamed to answer, even if she asked her to answer, she didn't know where to start, because she was drunk that night, and the most precious first time in her life was lost in a daze, even if that person was Lu Xingchen, the Lu Xingchen she loved now, but at the beginning he was just a stranger to her!

Mencius sighed all the way home.

Before the arrival of the New Year, there is still half an hour before the zero countdown, Lu Xingchen, Mencius, Li Shengnan, Han Shiyu and several of them have already driven to a famous cable car park in the city center.
