Tang Jin sent us downstairs and left, and said to me in a joking tone before leaving: "It's a shame that you won't do this business a long time ago, otherwise one day we will stand on the opposite side, and you will be an opponent that should not be underestimated." ”

After going upstairs, I arranged a rest for rice grains, I poured a cup of hot water and drank slowly in front of the window, I didn't immediately turn around to see when the SMS prompt came, only the corners of my lips curled, and my eyes were clear.

After drinking a glass of water, I turned around and walked to the table, and the messages on my mobile phone jumped twice, both of which were sent by Zhou Yu.

Ask me if I'm home with Mi Li, why don't you reply?

I simply typed in two words - it's here.

After a while, he replied again, but asked: Yang Jing didn't say anything to you, did he?

Me: What are you trying to express?

Zhou Yu: No, just ask.

Me: Goodbye!

I wanted to turn off my phone, but after thinking about it, I still set it to silent. When I was washing, I looked at myself in the mirror, and thought about the smile in Yang Jing's eyes. Maybe my observation power is not as good as Tang Jin's, but I still have the ability to recognize people and things.

Yang Jing asked me how I saw it, and the answer I gave was: from the same family.

She didn't ask anymore because she tacitly understood the meaning of those four words. In fact, the first time I went to that dessert shop, I had doubts, it was obvious that there was a feminine atmosphere in the flower room, and one of the rooms in the back room was Yang Jing's. Even though I was impetuous when I saw a photo of her and Zhou Yu posted on the wall, I changed my mind afterwards and had a deeper guess.

This time I came to meet Yang Jing officially, although there was not much eye contact, and even in the end, Yang Jing wanted to deliberately induce me, but before that, I had already made a conclusion in my heart.

Yang Jing and Zhou Liang cook the same food.

is in the same room, opens the same dessert shop, and even has similar things in the cuisine, if these are secondary, then the most important thing is Zhou Liang's temperament. I don't dare to say that I know Zhou Liang, but I have been in contact with it for a while, the kind of casual person who doesn't care about it at all, and his mouth is sometimes poisonous, but his heart is not bad.

Tonight is the most "calm" I have ever seen him, and he behaved very well the rest of the time except for the tea spray.

and Yang Jing asked him to make desserts for rice grains, and he did it without saying a word.

These small details alone do not represent anything, and when they are kneaded together, they become a clear thing. As a result, Zhou Yu also wanted to use Yang Jing to deliberately fish me, but he didn't know that Yang Jing had sold him.

If I was hostile to Yang Jing at first, in fact, it was not, except that the two of them were particularly dazzling when they met again at the airport, and then Yang Jing's behavior made me confused.

Now that she and Zhou Liang are together, there will be answers to some things. Take the one in front of him, Tang Jin is actually someone Yang Jing knows, not Zhou Liang. If Zhou Liang can be said to be in Zhou Yu's face or for other reasons, but if it is Yang Jing, it only proves that she has no ill will towards me.

On Monday, I arrived at the courthouse on time.

Zhou Bing's family of three arrived before me, and when the people in the column took their seats, they all looked at me, especially when their eyes were on Tang Jin. Needless to say, they must not know Tang Jin.

Sitting in the chair, my feelings are inevitably complicated, I can say that this place is both familiar and unfamiliar, and after a long time, I came back and sat in the dock. Xiao Zhou was sitting in the jury seat, and there was a vacant seat next to her, which should be for Xiao Dong.

We looked at each other, and she smiled and nodded at me, and her smile seemed to be assured. Xiao Dong then sat down, and his eyes did not look at me from beginning to end.

At nine o'clock, the official opening of the trial. According to the usual procedure, the plaintiff's lawyer first stated the case and submitted the relevant evidence, during which the lawyer also asked me several sharp questions, all of which were dug and waiting for me to jump down, and I skillfully brought them through.

When it was Tang Jin's turn to defend me, I noticed that Xiao Zhou's eyebrows were frowning, and there was a laptop in front of her, I was afraid that I had already checked Tang Jin's information from the Internet. I saw her go to communicate with Xiao Dong with her ears, Xiao Dong only raised his eyes to look at Tang Jin, and then lowered his eyes and fell on the document again.

In private contact, you will feel that Tang Jin is quite approachable, but when he stands in the courtroom, he becomes a sharp knife. All the weaknesses in your body are in his eyes, and Zhou Bing didn't dare to speak up after being asked by him, because every time he answered a seemingly inconsequential question, he would become Tang Jin's handle.

His lawyer is an old colleague in the court, not to mention experienced like Xiao Dong, but he is also mature and sophisticated. But in front of Tang Jin, he was powerless, and in the end he could only insist that the unqualified test list given by the Health Bureau was direct evidence.

Tang Jin smiled and asked the judge to hand in the latest evidence.

I knew it was time for the video to play, and as soon as the video was played, everyone was in an uproar, and Zhou Bing's face turned white.

Tang Jin asked Zhou Bing to explain why he and his family showed up at the drink shop at noon, and why his wife and children had problems after six hours. Zhou Bing couldn't explain it.

Tang Jin provided a series of medical certificates stating that if a person eats or drinks food of defective quality, he will generally respond to the human body through the digestive system within three hours, and Zhou Bing's wife and children were admitted to the hospital six hours later.

I listened quietly, and caught a glimpse of Zhou Bing's lawyer suddenly looking down at his phone, and when he looked up again after a while, he stood up. As I expected, he suggested that even if Zhou Bing went to the store to buy drinks at noon, it didn't mean that he hadn't bought or drank them again in the afternoon. Zhou Bing was reminded by him and insisted that it was around four o'clock in the afternoon, someone invited them to tea again.

Tang Jin and I glanced at each other, and Cheng Zhu asked in his chest: "Mr. Zhou, then may I ask if the person who invited you to tea is the one who never showed his face in the video?" ”

The opposing lawyer's protest: "Judge, what the defense lawyer asked has nothing to do with this case. ”

Tang Jin's eyes flickered, "Who said it has nothing to do with it?" On the contrary, it is the crux of the case. From the video, we can all see that Zhou Bing bought two drinks from the counter, one for his wife, and the other was neither for himself nor for his son, but handed to the fourth person who was not filmed. May I ask Mr. Zhou, why didn't you drink drinks at that time? ”

Zhou Bing replied: "I don't like the smell of coffee. ”

"Then why didn't you give it to your son?"

Zhou Bing thought for a moment and replied carefully: "Because he has ice cream." ”

"If he didn't eat ice cream, would you buy him a drink that you think tasted like coffee?"

Zhou Bing replied hesitantly: "I will." ”

Tang Jin: "You won't. You are a person who is strict with yourself, and it is even more impossible for you to relax with your children. The simplest evidence is right in front of you, before the trial, someone served you two cups of boiled water, one suspected coffee, and you served the boiled water to your son, and you didn't touch the suspected cup of coffee. Mr. Zhou, you are a very responsible father for your children, and I admire you very much. ”

The interrogation of Zhou Bing came to an end for the time being, and Tang Jin Chengtang concluded: "Zhou Bing, a father who is both strict with himself and very caring for his children, no matter when and where, he will not give his children a drink. So may I ask, since the child has not drunk drinks, how can the mother who has the same symptoms as him be caused by drinking? ”

"This is nothing more than an unrealistic inference and speculation made by you, and there is no evidence that my client did not drink alcohol."

Tang Jin asked rhetorically: "Is there any evidence to prove that the child must have drunk?" Is there surveillance video? Without waiting for the opposing lawyer's reaction, Tang Jin changed his words: "I just said that the person who did not show up in the video is very important, and this person is at the scene, so I applied to the judge to invite this person to attend and testify." ”

Only then did I raise my eyes, slowly look at the side judge, and my gaze officially met Xiao Zhou.

The first time I watched the video, I was only shocked by the truth and didn't look into detail, and when I watched it again, I realized that I was wearing a watch on the wrist where I reached for the drink. The watch was wearing on Xiao Zhou's left wrist at this time.

That's right, the other person is Xiao Zhou.

I don't want to think about the motives behind the matter or anything else, since she was there at the critical time, it is impossible to put aside the relationship, so I have to come out and make a "simple explanation".

Xiao Dong finally raised his head from the scroll at this time, and his gaze swept over me and turned his head to stare at Xiao Zhou.

I couldn't see if there was eye contact between them, I only saw Xiao Zhou slowly get up and apply to the judge as a witness. Then she sat on the witness stand and briefly recounted that she did go to my store with Zhou Bing and his wife to drink drinks that day, but she did not mention it in order to avoid suspicion.

The moment she took her seat, I hooked the corners of my mouth, and then greeted Tang Jin's artillery fire.

Just now, it was only a third of his remaining strength.

I saw that in the next process, Xiao Zhou's face turned pale inch by inch, and he was repeatedly asked by Tang Jin to be unable to answer, but it was useless to be silent in the court, it represented a loss; She also tried to fight Tang Jin professionally, but in the end she lost even more.

After seeing this side of Tang Jin, I felt that he was really complimenting me that night. Even if I hadn't resigned, I wouldn't have been sure to win the lawsuit against him today.

In the end, the judge pronounced that the first instance was over, and the plaintiff rejected the complaint without conclusive evidence, and I did not need to make any compensation to Zhou Bing.

With Tang Jin's limelight, he didn't become famous in a fight, and his fame was in the capital, so after winning the lawsuit, he was still light. I heard Zhou Yu humming softly beside me: "I didn't see that this kid has two brushes." ”

I didn't think angrily: what can you see? No one is as good as you in your eyes.
