As they walked down an uninhabited aisle, both men stopped. There is only one door away from the waiting room, and you can see Zhou Yu's figure over there when you stand in place.

Hearing He Xiangjie break the silence: "If you have anything to say, say it quickly, I have to take my son for an examination." ”

I withdrew my eyes and turned to him, and the first thing I asked was, "What is your son's disease?" Is it really leukemia? ”

I saw a touch of pain on that resolute face, and I saw him lower his eyes and said, "The doctor said that it has not reached the point of leukemia, but there is indeed a problem with the blood, and the hematopoietic function is many times lower than that of ordinary children." The doctor told him not to let the child get sick as much as possible, because for ordinary children, it is just a cold and fever, and for Xixi, it is a serious illness. ”

"But if the hematopoietic function is not good, the immunity must not be strong, how can you prevent it from getting sick?"

He Xiangjie said: "So I will let him stay at home often even if he enrolls in kindergarten, or take him directly to the gym to take care of him at any time." But there are always times when I am inconvenienced, just like today, when I just came over and pushed a customer in a hurry. ”

I was silent for a while. In the face of his frank confession, I couldn't find the words to seduce him, and when I opened my mouth, I still asked directly: "Is it because of your son's illness that you agreed to this frame of the bookstore?" ”

He Xiangjie: "Lawyer Jia, I know you want to win the lawsuit for Bashan, but I don't understand what you're talking about. ”

The rejection was expected, but I wasn't discouraged—"If so, I'll respect your beloved son, but have you ever wondered what your son would think if one day he knew that his father had done such a bad thing?" ”

He Xiangjie showed a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, but there was bitterness in that smile, he said: "Life and education, I value life more." If one day he grows up and scolds me, it's better than not seeing that day coming. Lawyer Jia, if it were you, how would you choose? ”

I was stunned.

It's a difficult problem to solve, and it's unusually difficult.

As far as I am concerned, on the one hand, the life of the child, and on the other hand, the precept of morality and law, how should I choose? The former is an indispensable bone and blood in my life, and the latter is something carved into my bones.

But when that time really comes...... I didn't think much deeper.

I said to He Xiangjie: "I'm not you, I can't make this kind of reference choice for you." You may think that I speak in a high-sounding manner, or even think that I am purely for profit, but I am just a woman who wants to protect her husband. To that end, I will do my best and ask you to be on time for the court next week. ”

He Xiangjie's eyes became very complicated when he looked at me, no matter what was contained there, I turned around and walked towards the waiting hall, and when I was about to walk to the door, I heard He Xiangjie behind me suddenly speak: "Lawyer Jia." ”

It's a new Monday, and tomorrow is the day of the second trial.

Tang Jin called and asked me if I had confidence this time, and I muttered and said half and half next time. He laughed sullenly after hearing this, saying that I was not yet full of confidence when I heard this tone, and there must be something still bothering.

He was right, I've been thinking about what Chen Huan is referring to these days that can lead to Zhou Yu's imprisonment. I feel that even Zhou Yu's mood seems to have become a little low, he seems to be casual on the surface, but he often spends more time silent, and sometimes he often looks at me thoughtfully.

In the afternoon he said he went out and did not come back until the evening.

In the evening, I called my mother and was relieved to make sure that the rice had been picked up. I'm going to go to court for the second time tomorrow, and I've already done the same preparations, but I've reviewed all the documents again. Then I collapsed on the bed, closed my eyes, filtered everything in my head, and then imagined how Xiao Dong would react and retort to each of my cards, and how I would respond.

Later, probably because my brain was so tired that I went into a drowsy, and when I woke up, I almost sat up.

It's already dawn!

It was past seven o'clock, and the court session was nine o'clock, and I immediately got up from the bed, changed my clothes and washed up as fast as I could. When he walked out of the room, he looked around the living room, and saw no trace of Zhou Yu, so he knocked on the door of Mi Li's room and shouted: "It's not early." But after a while, I didn't hear any movement coming from inside, and there was nothing to avoid, so I turned the doorknob and went in, but I saw that the quilt on the bed was folded squarely, and I got up very early? What about others?

I walked back to the living room and looked at the door, but Zhou Yu's shoes were not there. When I went into the kitchen again, I suddenly felt that Zhou Yu might not have come back last night. I took my mobile phone and turned over his number, basically I didn't take the initiative to call him, every time he called, I panicked for no reason when I dialed and waited, why didn't he come back all night? What could be more important than today's trial?

The mobile phone was on, but the ringtone rang more than a dozen times and there was no answer.

I put down my phone and groaned, dialed Zhou Liang, and it was answered quickly, and before Zhou Liang could make a sound, I asked, "Do you know where Zhou Yu went?" There was silence for a moment, and it was a female voice that came out: "Jia Ru?" What happened to Zhou? ”

It's Yang Jing! At this time, I don't care why Zhou Liang's mobile phone was answered by her, even if they sleep together at this time, I can't care, I just said in a deep voice: "Zhou Yu went out yesterday afternoon and didn't come back all night, and the second trial will be held soon." Yang Jing, you ask Zhou Liang to go to him immediately, whether you find anyone or not, you have to call me before nine o'clock. ”

Yang Jing knew that the situation was serious, so she didn't ask much, so she immediately hung up the phone.

It stands to reason that Zhou Yu would not be so unconcerned and would not be absent from this trial today, if he, the defendant, is absent, even if I have a thousand arguments, he will be pale and weak. And with Xiao Dong's sharpness, he will inevitably make a fuss about this, and beat Bashan to the bottom with a stick, then all the hard work of these days will be in vain.

It was nearly eight o'clock when I left the house, and I estimated that it would take me 20 minutes to get to the courthouse, so I took a taxi to the business district. Regardless of whether Zhou Yu is here or not, I will also go to Bashan Book City to make sure.

The shopping mall at eight o'clock was deserted, and there were hardly any customers except for the salespeople who were setting up the tables. The direct elevator was under maintenance, so I had to take the escalator up, and when I got to the ninth floor, the elevator to the tenth floor stopped, and a sign was erected in front of the elevator.

It reads - Book City is temporarily closed.

I looked left and right, but when I didn't see anyone around, I dodged in and climbed the escalator straight up. There is also a barrier at the elevator entrance on the 10th floor, but you can push it open. I walked around the book city, and the books on the walls had been taken off the shelves, and the first floor of the Nuoda was originally crowded, but now it was empty.

The tools in the Bashan drink area are still there, I walked in and couldn't help but pause, there was a seasoning jar on the operating table, and there were some tea stains there, this is someone who has mixed drinks here?

After the accident from Bashan, all areas were directly closed, and even the original merchants were temporarily repatriated, and Bashan was responsible for all losses. That is to say, this console has been ignored for at least half a month, so now there are obvious remnants, is it ...... Has anyone ever returned? The only thing I can think of is Zhou Yu.

Did he come back to Bashan yesterday afternoon, and then he was still making drinks here?

And what about people now? I walked straight to the office, the door was unlocked, and when I pushed the door in, I saw a cup of tea on the desk, but Zhou Yu was not inside. Walked to the desk and picked up the cup, the drink in it was already cold, the color was coffee, and the smell was lemon blue mountain, it turned out that he had also learned to make this drink.

On the other side of the desk, there were no drinks, but there was an ashtray with two cigarette butts thrown in it.

I have the impression that Zhou Yu seems to make up how to smoke, and if he smokes, he probably won't put the ashtray here. So who is he here? I dialed his number again, but the familiar bell rang in the quiet space, coming from his desk. I hurried over, opened the drawer, and sure enough, I saw Zhou Yu's mobile phone inside.

I'm sure he was here last night, but how could he leave his phone here and leave?

Seeing that the time was already half past eight, I had to leave immediately, all kinds of thoughts were turning in my mind on the way downstairs to ride, it seemed that I had to be prepared for Zhou Yu's absence, what reason should I find to stand on my feet at that time.

When I walked into the courtroom, I was almost all there, and I was already late. His eyes were stunned, and in the position of the defendant's seat, Zhou Yu was sitting there. No wonder Yang Jing hasn't called me so far, it turns out that he has already come.

The moment we looked at each other, the nose was inexplicably sour, and I didn't know where it came from.

When I walked again, I raised my head and puffed up my chest, my hand hanging at my side was slightly clenched into a fist, all the previous indifference was in place at this time, as long as he was there, there was nothing to fear.

When I came to sit next to Zhou Yu, I stared at him for two seconds, and the occasion did not allow me to ask him the reason, but I could give him a warning with my eyes.

As for the rest, I'll wait until the court is over this fight.

The judge opened the trial, and I raised my voice before Xiao Dong was about to get up, saying that there was new evidence to provide. Because I want to seize the opportunity, I can't let Xiao Dong seize the initiative anymore, and I can't let the judge and the side bench have preconceived ideas.

First of all, I raised a new question about the dispute between He Xiangjie and Qian Huijuan, whether this so-called "accident" was caused by accident or man-made?

When my words fell, the audience was silent, and Xiao Dong's eyes seemed to be slightly dull.

Greeting the judge's gaze, he raised his voice and said, "I have new evidence here that needs to be submitted to the judge." ”
