Chapter 109: Take the initiative
Therefore, the judge was under great pressure from above, and until the day of the trial, the judge basically did not get a good night's sleep.
And now, Du Hua's slip of the tongue has given the judge a glimmer of light.
Finally, I can be freed, I don't need to stand on the cusp anymore, as long as I hand over the matter to the procuratorate for investigation again, the pressure on myself from above will be solved.
Thinking of this, the judge couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.
After that, the trial went unusually well.
After Du Hua revealed that he knew about the existence of the laboratory, the defense lawyer sat back in his position with a gloomy face and stopped talking, while the prosecution began to press forward step by step.
Du Hua seems to have figured it out, no longer deliberately concealed it, and answered the prosecutor's questions one by one, and answered neatly, without a trace of sophistry.
Du Kang and Chen Yi sat side by side in the auditorium, looking at Du Hua like a frosted eggplant, completely devoid of energy, and there was still no expression on his face.
Xiang Ling, on the other hand, was a little puzzled by the strange scene.
Even if Du Hua made a mistake for a while, there was a way to justify himself, why he looked completely self-defeating now.
She turned her gaze to Liu Jing, and then swept to Du Kang and Chen Yi.
The three of them did not give themselves any response, but they all seemed to have discussed and listened quietly to the trial.
Xiang Ling, who was full of doubts, had nowhere to verify, so he could only put his mind down and listen to the court's verdict with peace of mind.
The court sentenced Du Hua to death on the basis of his crimes, but due to Du Hua's terminal illness, the sentence was commuted to a suspended sentence of one year.
This result, in fact, is already a very light sentence for Du Hua.
After the court's verdict was announced, there was a period of murmur among the public. But after they learned that Du Hua was already suffering from cancer and would not live for three years, the turbulent emotions were also alleviated.
After the sentencing results came out, Du Kang went to the prison and met Du Hua, no one knew what the two father and son said, but after Du Kang came out, it was like a different person.
In the past, Du Kang was energetic, energetic and warm. Today, although he wears a suit and leather shoes, he always gives people a feeling that no one should approach.
Xiang Ling didn't like Du Kang like this, but he knew that Du Kang had gone through too much and he needed time to adjust himself, so he didn't bother Du Kang.
It's just that there is one thing that is very strange, after being sentenced, Du Hua actually took the initiative to ask to see Chen Yi, and Chen Yi went to see him without saying a word.
Xiang Ling always wanted to know what Du Hua said to Chen Yi, but Chen Yi kept his mouth shut.
Xiang Ling knocked on the side, grinding hard bubbles, hoping that Chen Yi could tell him, but Chen Yi kept silent, ignoring Xiang Ling's words, Xiang Ling had no choice but to give up.
Du Hua's case is over, and life can finally get back on track, Liu Jing returned to his home, and Chen Yi also moved back to the hotel. It's just that Yang Mo, who has been missing since returning from the canyon, has not appeared after such a long time.
Sometimes Xiang Ling is very strange, Yang Mo has been missing for so long, but her family doesn't seem to care about it at all.
Xiang Ling once went to the Public Security Bureau to inquire about Yang Mo's news, but the Public Security Bureau claimed that it had not received any report of Yang Mo's disappearance.
Xiang Ling scratched his ears and cheeks, and didn't think of the reason, so he had to go to Master Zhou.
No one answered the phone, so Xiang Ling only had to go to the hotel to find someone in person.
Although the hotel that Du Kang booked for Master Zhou and Chen Yi was near Xiang Ling's community, she had never entered it.
Because it was a five-star hotel, Xiang Ling couldn't afford to go, and he didn't want to see the waiter's face that whoever has money is the master.
However, I didn't want to go, but I went anyway.
As soon as she entered the hotel lobby, Xiang Ling was almost dazzled by the golden light, and inexplicably, a hatred suddenly appeared in her heart.
This Chenyi, must be comfortable living in this luxury hotel, so I stay here all day long, and I basically haven't looked for her for so many days.
Because of his self-esteem, Chen Yi didn't go to her, and Xiang Ling definitely didn't come to him.
Although it is a little contrary to his original self-esteem, Xiang Ling has already exerted his Ah Q spirit and persuaded himself that this time he definitely did not come to find Chen Yi, but to find Master Zhou, and asked him about Yang Mo.
Because she knew that there must be an unusual relationship between Yang Mo and Chen Yi, she could see it last time she was in the canyon.
And not only did there be a secret between the two of them, but Master Zhou should also know the secret between them, but at the beginning, everyone was involved in Du Hua's case, and they didn't talk about the truth of this matter after they came back.
Now that Du Hua's case is over, she feels that it is time to have a showdown with Master Zhou and ask him about the reason for all this.
Xiang Ling was playing Xiao Jiujiu in his heart, and he had already arrived at the main station unconsciously.
"Ma'am, how can I help you?" The waiter behind the front desk unfolded that formula-like smile and faced Xiang Ling.
"Well, I'm looking for someone, there's a guy named Chenyi, where does he live?" Xiang Ling replied with a smile that she thought was very decent.
"Wait a minute." The waiter lowered his head, stared at the computer monitor, his fingers began to tap on the keyboard, his movements skilful, the corners of his mouth, and the formulaic smile remained.
"I'm sorry, ma'am, but you didn't make a mistake by not having the registration information for the guest you said?" The waiter stood up again, still smiling at Xiang Ling.
"None? No way, he's been living here for more than a month! Xiang Ling was a little strange.
"I'm sorry, I've checked for you twice, and there really isn't any information about the guest you said." Looking at the waiter with a sincere look on his face, Xiang Ling also received her eyes full of sincerity.
The waiter should have no reason to lie to himself, so what's going on?
Chen Yi has obviously lived here for so long, how could he not find his information?
No, Xiang Ling suddenly thought of something. Damn, how did you forget? Chen Yi is a person with no identity, so the hotel is definitely not registered in his name.
"By the way, then please look for it again, is there a person named Du Kang who is registered here?"
"Du Kang?" The waiter was a little puzzled, she was obviously familiar with this name, but, "May I ask what you are looking for Mr. Du?" ”
"Mr. Du," Xiang Ling looked at the waiter's eyes, knowing that she must know Du Kang, and also knew that she was doubting the reason why she was looking for Du Kang.
"I'm not looking for him, I'm just looking for a few friends, Mr. Du helped them book a room here, you just need to tell him that it was Xiang Ling who came to him, and he will know." Xiang Ling tried his best to keep his tone calm, and he didn't seem to have a trace of weakness at all.
The waiter looked Xiang Ling up and down for a while, making sure that she should not have malicious intentions, and then relented, "Then you wait a minute, I'll call you to ask first." The waiter's face reappeared with a smile, and his right hand picked up the phone on the main desk.
"Hello, guest, there is a lady named Xiang Ling at the front desk looking for you, may I ask?" The waiter asked the person on the other end of the line with a smile on his face.
It was only soon that the smile on the waiter's face froze, "Okay, I see, sorry to disturb you." ”
Hanging up the phone neatly, the waiter's gaze re-faced Xiang Ling, but this time, there was no smile on her face. "I'm sorry, ma'am, but the guest you said didn't know you."
"Don't know me?" Xiang Ling's eyebrows jumped, "Are you sure?" You tell him who I am? ”
"You should have heard it just now, I already told the guest your name, and the guest said he didn't know you." The waiter's face was serious.
Seeing that the sun was still shining just now, but now she had a frosty face, Xiang Ling secretly cursed in her heart, and then shook her head and left.
She knows that the waiters in the hotel are all process-based operations, and they don't tell you about the so-called human favor at all, even if you stalk her, the big deal is that she has no right to call the shots, find a manager to deal with you, and then there will be a so-called manager to tell you some unrelated truths, and eventually they will be kicked around like a ball, which is a waste of time.
Therefore, it is useless for her to stay here, it is better to find another way.
But there is one point, Xiang Ling can't figure it out, why do they say they don't know themselves?
What the hell is going on? How do I feel like I've been abandoned by others since that incident?
Not only did his friend Liu Jing for many years stop coming to him, but now even Master Zhou and even Chen Yi have not taken the initiative to look for him.
Thinking of this, Xiang Ling's heart panicked.
She gritted her teeth in her heart, her eyes began to drip, and her head began to stir rapidly.
If you don't see me, I can't come to you, I underestimate me.
A smile crossed Xiang Ling's lips.
After straightening his clothes, Xiang Ling raised his head slightly, and walked out of the hotel with his head held high.
It's just that in less than an hour, Xiang Ling came back again, this time, she changed her clothes, put down the ponytail that she was originally tied on, and changed her face from the previous plain makeup, and made some simple dresses.
A rose-red dress, slightly tight, and a pair of white high heels, as thin as spikes.
is already beautiful and lovely, but now she has a little powder, and she is more and more charming and sweet.
Deliberately twisting his waist, Xiang Ling did not go to the main desk again, but sat directly on the ground after arriving in the lobby.
"There is no reason, Du Kang, who has no reason, is actually a golden house!"
Xiang Ling sat on the ground, patting the shiny marble tiles of the hotel with his hands, looking like he was splashing.
The quality of a five-star hotel is indeed not ordinary, Xiang Ling's butt just hit the ground, and soon a few uniformed security guards ran over, "Madam, please don't do this, this is a public place, you are not suitable for this!" ”
"What's suitable or inappropriate, you connived at my husband to take care of the junior here, you are suitable!" Xiang Ling glared angrily.
