Chapter 24: The Meaning of Defense
Xu Xiaxi was annoyed by Fu Lichen's doting look and cat-like tone, and subconsciously wanted to raise his hand to wave away the other party's hand, but when he thought of the other party's injured shoulder, he was in a dilemma for a while.
Fu Lichen could see Xu Xiaxi's entanglement at a glance, but he didn't point it out, and rubbed it again before withdrawing his hand.
He walked to the sofa and sat down, and said leisurely, "Didn't you say that you were responsible?" Now it's time to get started. β
Xu Xiaxi: "......"
She just meant to help Fu Lichen with medicine before, but when these words came out of the other party's mouth, how did the meaning become obedient?
She took out the medicine box sullenly and picked out the medicinal oil, still thinking about how to open her mouth to let the other party undress so as not to look abrupt.
As a result, Fu Lichen had already consciously taken off his coat, and when he saw Xia Xi looking at him dumbfounded, there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, "Does Xi Xi want to help?" β
ββ¦β¦ No need! Xu Xia Xipi replied with a smile.
Who rarely takes off your clothes!
Fu Lichen's face immediately showed a regretful expression, "Tsk, that's a pity!" β
Xu Xiaxi felt that if he continued to talk to this person, he would definitely be angry to death.
She wisely closed her mouth and waited for the other party to take off her shirt and expose her shoulders before she sat down next to Li Chen.
Seeing that the shoulders were obviously red and swollen, Xia Xi's eyes couldn't help but darken, lowered his head, and whispered, "Bear with it." β
She poured the medicated oil into the palm of her hand, warmed it up, and then applied it to the wound and pressed it little by little.
Afraid that the strength was wrong, she applied the medicine while not forgetting to carefully observe the man's expression.
After a coating project was underway, she only felt a layer of sweat on her body.
In the end, she dipped gauze in some medicated oil to cover the wound, and used plastic wrap to 'seal' it, before she whispered: "Although it is not pretty, this is very useful, my mother said." β
Fu Lichen put on his clothes slowly and methodically, and mentioned casually: "I heard that your mother is a surgeon?" β
The two have worked together for so long, and they already know each other well, and Xu Xiaxi has nothing to hide, nodding, "Hmm." β
"She asked you to study abroad to study medicine?"
Xu Xiaxi was just about to nod and suddenly became alert, staring at Fu Lichen vigilantly: "What are you asking for?" β
Fu Lichen said in his heart that it was a pity, and he felt that the future was long, and he was not in a hurry, and his face was natural, "It's nothing, just ask casually." β
Xu Xiaxi didn't believe that Fu Lichen would have the time to ask casually, but she was not in a high mood now, and she didn't ask any questions.
Her gaze wandered, and there was a palpable silence on her face.
Although she didn't say anything, Fu Lichen knew what her silence was.
The man sighed and said, "You don't have to take Yang Qian's matter to heart. β
Xu Xiaxi lowered his head and muttered: "How can you not take it to heart, what she said is not unreasonable, maybe it's me ......"
Fu Lichen saw that Xu Xiaxi was almost in the dead end, his sword eyebrows frowned slightly, and he changed his words: "Do you know why Yang Qian appeared here?" β
"Huh?" This is a completely unreasonable problem, Xu Xiaxi reacted after a while and shook his head.
"It stands to reason that you didn't tell Yang Qian that you worked in Wanzong, and the person entrusted by Chen Yang was also me, even if she knew that someone was appealing for Chen Jing, she shouldn't have found you. Unless, someone told her something. β
Fu Lichen's expression was straight, and he snorted coldly: "The person who will make a move at this juncture is actually very easy to guess, isn't it?" β
Only Luo Hui!
Xu Xiaxi listened to Fu Lichen's analysis in a daze, frowned and snorted: "That day, you really overheard my words and Yang Qian's words. β
Fu Lichen was choked for a moment, but he didn't expect Xia Xi to turn over the old accounts at this time, his face was a little unbearable, and he changed the topic vaguely, "In short, Yang Qian is just a chess piece used by others to prevent you from investigating, you don't have to take it to heart at all." β
Having said that, Xu Xiaxi's mood did not relax at all, but became heavier and heavier.
She looked up at Fu Lichen with a somewhat painful expression, "Didn't you say that everything can't be concluded without evidence?" Now we can't be 100% sure that Chen Jing is not the driver who caused the accident, but we are defending him and even trying to clear his name. Doesn't that make it even more painful for the innocent who are really hurt? β
This is the crux of Xu Xiaxi's entanglement.
She doesn't know what to do right!
Fu Lichen's face was solemn, looking at Xia Xi's pain and confusion because of the entanglement, and suddenly spoke: "Xixi, what do you think is the meaning of our defense?" β
"The ...... of the defense Significance? Xu Xiaxi repeated, and found that he really hadn't thought about this problem properly.
"Isn't defense a defense?"
Fu Lichen solemnly said to Xia Xi: "Xixi, our defense is not to exonerate the defendant, or even forgive him for his mistakesβthat is what God did. What we have to do is restraint and love. Restrain anger and hatred, love equality and justice. β
Xu Xiaxi was deeply stunned, looked at Fu Lichen for a long time, and then repeated in a low voice: "Restraint and love ......"
"That's right!" Fu Lichen nodded, and for the first time, he took the trouble to explain: "Because anger and hatred are easy to get lost, and people can't see the facts. Although the defense lawyer is not a judge, he is not the embodiment of fairness and justice.
But in the same way, the defense lawyer is not the spokesman for the offender, and he does not need to defend the defendant exactly as the defendant thinks. They can have their own ideas and their own value judgments, so as to put forward their own defense opinions on whether the defendant is guilty or innocent, and whether the crime is minor or the most serious.
Therefore, there is no such thing as helping the defendant clear his name. You just have to do what you know in your heart, and you're right. As for what others say, what does it have to do with you and me? β
After hearing these words, Xu Xiaxi felt as if her heart had been hit, which shocked her.
It was the first time she had heard such an explanation of the meaning of the defence.
It's very different from her common sense, but it unexpectedly convinces her.
Yang Qian's curse was still wrapped around her ears, but it was no longer as oppressive as it was just now.
Maybe Yang Qian is right, maybe Chen Yang is right, before there is no evidence, anyone can be the final winner.
And what she needs to do is to come up with that evidence!
Fu Lichen watched Xu Xiaxi's eyes light up little by little, and his mood improved, and he couldn't help but rub Xia Xi's head again, and said gently: "It's good to figure it out." β
The more Xu Xiaxi thought about it, the happier she became, the confusion just now was gone, she looked at Fu Lichen, and asked positively: "By the way, do you think the method I said in the office before is feasible?" β
Although Xu Xiaxi was very confident in herself, she was also more willing to ask Fu Lichen what she thought.
Fu Lichen nodded and gave a positive answer directly: "Your idea is very interesting, you can give it a try." β
"Then we ......"
Fu Lichen saw that Xia Xi was full of interest, and he had the urge to roll up his sleeves and do it, so he couldn't help but smile bitterly and pointed outside, "Xixi, don't you look at what time it is?" β
Well, the sun was setting outside, and the sky was getting darker.
Xu Xiaxi scratched her hair embarrassedly and said embarrassedly: "Then you ......"
Fu Lichen suppressed the urge to ask, "Do you want to stay with me for one night?" and said seriously: "I'll go back first." β
Xia Xi glanced at the injury on Fu Lichen's shoulder, guilt prevailed, and asked in a low voice: "It's inconvenient for you now, do you want me to drive you back?" β
It's a bit of a hassle, but she'll just take the subway back then.
Who knew that Fu Lichen categorically refused, "No need." β
Xu Xiaxi was stunned, and some couldn't react - with Fu Lichen's character who wants to squeeze out her remaining value at all times, how can she refuse?
Want to get away with it?
Fu Lichen smiled, pointed upstairs, and said lightly: "I'll live upstairs with you, this little road, you don't need to drive!" β
"Ahh
Xu Xiaxi was stunned, looking at Fu Lichen with a shocked expression.
"Then next time you have time to come to my house to sit." After saying that, leave immediately.
Fu Lichen walked out of Xia Xi's house quickly, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he went upstairs.
If someone reacts to this, he probably won't be able to come out 'alive' today.
Fu Lichen guessed correctly, the first thing Xu Xiaxi did after recovering from the shock was to take this bastard who played her around to feed the cat.
Bastard!
She doesn't believe in any coincidences!
Even if the two really happened to live in the same community and the same building, there were still upper and lower floors, but the other party found out early but didn't say anything, and pulled her into the car every day under the pretext of 'sending you home with kindness', asking her to be grateful.
Now it seems that the bastard is simply going back to his own home!
I'm so angry with her!
But Fu Lichen had already run away, so she had nowhere to steam when she was angry.
So much so that when she saw Fu Lichen's car downstairs the next day, she couldn't help grinding her teeth again.
Fu Lichen seemed to have lost his memory, and said as usual: "Don't you want to call up the surveillance video?" Don't get in the car yet? β
Hehe!
Xu Xiaxi didn't want to pay attention to him at all!
But the reason given by the other party was so reasonable, she had to suppress the awkwardness in her heart and tell herself: Serious matters matter! Serious matters!
This time, Fu Lichen didn't tease her anymore, and really drove the car to the traffic police brigade.
Really standing at the door of the traffic police brigade, Xia Xi was a little cowardly, pulled Fu Lichen and asked in a low voice: "We ran over like this, can we really get the evidence?" β
The traffic police are not dry, if anyone can adjust the surveillance video, wouldn't it be a mess?
Fu Lichen raised his eyebrows and smiled slightly, "What, Xixi is doubting my ability?" β
Xu Xiaxi knew that the mood behind this person's smile was definitely not so beautiful, so he immediately coaxed, quickly shook his head, and said with a flattering smile: "How could it be!" I'm just a little worried about you being bullied! β
The appearance of this dog's leg, even Xu Xiaxi couldn't help but spit on himself, but Fu Lichen seemed to be very satisfied after hearing it, didn't delve further, and strode forward, "Don't worry, they will take out the evidence." β
To Xu Xiaxi's surprise, the person who received Fu Lichen turned out to be the captain of the traffic police brigade.
is named Shan Teng, who looks very young, that is, about thirty years old, tall and strong, on par with Fu Lichen.
As soon as he came up, he gave Fu Lichen a big hug, "Li Chen, why do you have time to come to me today?" There must be some trouble that needs Lao Tzu's help! β
Xu Xiaxi watched the familiarity of the two on the side, and said secretly: This person really guessed right.
Although Fu Lichen didn't speak, the expression on his face accurately expressed this meaning.
Shan Teng exaggerated and wailed: "I know that it will be no good for you kid to find me!" Say, what do you want to check? β
"I want to retrieve the surveillance video of the section from the Xiyang District Detention Center to Changmin Street between 20:00 and 23:00 on the evening of May 1, 2015."
Shan Teng was stunned, and the policeman who followed him changed his face when he heard this, and took two steps forward excitedly, "Boss, this can't work!" β
