After listening to Xu Shen's story, Lin Zi left the police station alone.

Back in the dormitory, Lin Zi lay on the bed, closed his eyes, and his mind was full of what Xu Shen said.

……

"Sister-in-law, I'm sorry, I didn't take good care of Shimu."

Xu Shen looked at Lin Zi with a guilty expression.

"What's wrong?"

Lin Zi's eyes were full of confusion.

"Once, when I returned to the class, I saw Bi Ran pushing Lin Zi to the ground and was about to slap her, I rushed up to stop her, but Bi then came and kept leading the whole class to isolate her and exclude her, and even, she could only complete the class tasks assigned by the teacher. I really wanted to help her, but I didn't know how to do it, so I could only watch her being ostracized, so, sister-in-law, I'm sorry. ”

Xu Shen's head was lowered, and his eyes were full of helplessness and loss.

"It's okay, it's not your problem, I know, Shi Mu's personality is indeed very withdrawn."

Lin Zi said and gently patted Xu Shen's shoulder.

"But I don't understand, why did Bi Ran commit suicide and write on a note that she hated Shimu? What kind of hatred can there be between them? ”

"This, I don't know very well, my understanding of Bi Ran is limited to that she is a person with strong self-esteem and great pride, she hates Shi Mu should be Shi Mu won the championship of the campus singer competition."

"Campus Singer Competition?"

"Yes, this competition is very important to the students of our department, originally everyone thought that the championship was Bi Ran, but Bi Ran temporarily lost his voice and couldn't participate in the competition, and then Shi Mu won, Bi Ran hated it."

"So that's the case, this Bi Ran is really excessive!"

……

After Lin Zi combed through the whole thing from beginning to end, she felt that all this was due to Bi Ran's jealousy, so she decided to help Shi Mu prove her innocence.

The incident happened too suddenly, Lin Zi didn't comfort Shi Mu properly, because there was a murder in the bedroom, the original bedroom was blocked for investigation, and the rest of the people were arranged to live in other bedrooms, except for Shi Mu. Considering the relationship between Shi Mu and Bi Ran, the school hereby allows Shi Mu to return to Lin's house to live.

Lin Zi called Shi Mu a few times, but Shi Mu didn't answer, because he was very worried, so Lin Zi prepared to go home to see her.

As soon as Lin Zi got home, Lin's mother pulled Lin Zi and asked, "I heard that in Mu Mu's dormitory, someone committed suicide and wrote Mu Mu's name, what's going on?" ”

"It's complicated, don't ask me yet, I want to talk to Mu Mu."

Lin Zi said, and was about to turn around and leave, but was grabbed by Lin Mu.

"I believe in Mu Mu anyway, if the other party doesn't give up, you must help her."

"Don't worry, I will."

Saying that, Lin Zi went straight upstairs, came to the door of Shi Mu's room, knocked on it, and the other party did not respond.

Lin Zi stood at the door, hesitated for a long time, and finally spoke: "Mumu, can you come out for a while, I have something to say to you." ”

After a long time, the door opened.

Shi Mu raised his head, looked at Lin Zi, and said lightly, "What's the matter?" ”

"I, can I go in and say?"

"I'm a little sick, can you say that here?"

Shi Mu looked at Lin Zi indifferently, as if nothing had happened.

"I've called you several times, but you haven't answered, and I'm a little worried about you." Lin Zi looked a little nervous.

"I was sleeping, I didn't hear it."

"Ah, that's it, that, actually, I just want to say, I'm sorry, I didn't take good care of you at school, I didn't care about you well, I didn't even know that you were bullied, so, I'm sorry."

Lin Zi clenched his fingers, looking overwhelmed at the moment because of guilt.

"It's none of your business."

Shi Mu's eyes glanced away, and his expression was very indifferent.

"Don't worry, we all believe in you, I will definitely return your innocence, don't worry, I'm done, you can rest well."

Lin Zi said and turned around and went downstairs.

Shi Mu stood at the door for a long time, then turned around and returned to the room, sat back at the table, and muttered.

"You, why do you believe in me so much?"

……

After Lin Zi and Shi Mu finished speaking, they immediately got up and went back to school.

Because of Bi Ran's death and the note left by Bi Ran, gossip is everywhere in the school.

Some of them discussed the cause of Bi Ran's death, and some pointed fingers at Shi Mu, and the whole school was panicked.

In order to temporarily quell the rumors, the school and Lin's mother proposed to let Shi Mu rest at home for a few days, so taking advantage of these few days, Lin Zi originally planned to slowly investigate the truth of the matter in secret.

But unexpectedly, because the police and the school did not give Bi Ran's parents an answer for a long time, Bi Ran's parents came directly to the school, made a lot of noise, and shouted that the school would hand over someone and send Shi Mu to court. Because they firmly believe that their daughter did not commit suicide, but was killed by Shi Mu.

For several days, Bi Ran's parents came to the school with Bi Ran's portrait in their hands, and banners reading "The school harbors the murderer Shimu" were hung all over the school.

The students in the school talked about it, and everyone began to be moved by Bi Ran's parents, and gradually doubted whether Bi Ran's death was really related to Shi Mu.

I don't know which good thing the student posted this incident on the Internet, and it was instantly forwarded by major marketing accounts to break the news, many of which added fuel and vinegar, describing Bi Ran as a weak and pitiful victim, and outlining Shi Mu as an indifferent and ruthless murderer.

Suddenly, the accusations and insults that split his head and covered his face hit Shi Mu, Lin Zi really couldn't stand it, and commented on the Internet, and was immediately attacked by major netizens, what's more, someone posted Shi Mu's personal information on the Internet, and listened to Lin Sister-in-law, in the past two days, someone has sent threatening couriers, similar to prosthetic limbs, knife handles, etc., shouting again and again to make Shi Mu's blood debt repayable.

"Miss, I received another courier from Miss Shimu today."

Sister-in-law Lin called Lin Zi and said.

"What about wood then? Did she react in any way? ”

Lin Zi was a little worried.

"Miss Shiki, as before, still locks herself in her room and doesn't come out much."

"I know, Sister-in-law Lin, have you told my parents about this?"

"The lord and the lady already know, they are already looking for a lawyer and preparing to appeal."

"That's good, I'm not at home for the past two days, you should care more about Shi Mu, she must be uncomfortable now."

For a while, in the face of the world's accusation that he was a murderer, how could he feel good, Lin Zi thought about it, and felt very depressed, during this time, there were too many sudden things, from campus bullying, to suicide, and now, it is cyber violence again, Lin Zi suddenly felt a little desperate about the world, why are people always dragged away by rumors, the previous thing about Yi Zhen was like this, and now, Shi Mu is also like this.

Because of the continuous online violence, Lin's father and Lin's mother couldn't bear it anymore, so they directly found a lawyer to sue Bi Ran's parents, the source of online violence.

……

"Hello judge, entrusted by my client, the defendant has frequently published false remarks on the Internet and school in recent times, which has seriously affected my client's daily life, and even received a series of threats. According to Article 120 of the General Principles of the Civil Law of China, if a citizen's right to name, portrait, reputation and honor is infringed, he or she has the right to demand that the infringement be stopped, his reputation restored, the impact eliminated, a formal apology, and compensation for losses. Therefore, we ask the defendant to apologize to our client in public. ”

The lawyer who defended Shi Mu was lawyer Gao who had cooperated with the Lin family for many years, lawyer Gao graduated from the University of Political Science and Law, and won a lot of lawsuits.

Lin Zi, who was sitting in the hearing seat, couldn't help but praise Lawyer Gao in his heart.

"Hello judge, as the defender of Mr. and Mrs. Bi, I believe that the online violence suffered by the plaintiff Miss Shi was not caused by my client, and if the reason is investigated, the student who posted the photo on the Internet is the culprit, not to mention, we did not have any online violence against Miss Shi on the Internet, so we do not agree with the charges given by the opposing lawyer."

"The defendant's lawyer is obviously blurring his vision, the other party has hung insulting or even defamatory banners at the school, which has caused serious psychological harm to my client, if the source is investigated, the other party will not escape the blame, not to mention, the other party slandered our client as a murderer without verifying it clearly, this is a naked defamatory act, I hope the judge can see clearly."

After hearing this, Bi Ran's parents couldn't sit still, and stood up directly and said: "Where is slander?" She's the one who killed my daughter, Judge! ”

Seeing this, lawyer Gao immediately stood up and said: "Judge, the other party does not have any evidence to accuse our client of being a murderer, so we have reason to think that this is a defamation of our client. ”

The judge frowned, turned to look at the defendant's lawyer, and said, "Defendant, do you have any evidence to prove that the plaintiff is the murderer?" ”

The defendant's lawyer rummaged through the information at hand and was somewhat silent.

"Yes or no?"

The judge asked again.

The defendant's lawyer glanced at Bi Ran's parents with some embarrassment, and said to the judge, "No." ”

"Okay, then I declare that this defamation infringement case is established, the plaintiff wins the lawsuit, and requires the defendant to apologize to the plaintiff orally and in writing within three days, and compensate for the corresponding losses."

When Bi Ran's mother heard the judge's verdict, she looked very excited, slapped the table and stood up, shouting loudly: "She is the murderer, I didn't spread rumors!" I don't apologize! She's the murderer! ”

"Silence! If the defendant has objections to the case, he can appeal again. ”

Under the loud shouting of Bi Ran's parents for injustice, the case of online violence is finally over, Lin Zi is glad that he won the case this time, but according to the attitude of the other party, he must appeal again and accuse Shi Mu of the murderer, thinking of this, Lin Zi has a headache.
