Chapter 65: Escape from Death
The next morning, I woke up early. After reading the note on the pillow and flipping through the diary at the head of the bed, I got out of bed and opened the curtains. The soft morning light shines through the window panes and into the house. I squinted my eyes and looked at the blue sky in the distance, feeling that it was a good day.
Gu Ya's case is in court today. I'm worried about her situation and don't want her to end up as a murderer. I believe she is not the kind of vicious woman. I walked downstairs barefoot in my nightgown and unexpectedly heard a slight snoring. I stopped and listened, and the sound was coming from the study. Could it be that Luo Shicheng stayed in the study all night?
I walked step by step to the study. The door of the study was not closed, and Luo Shicheng leaned back in his chair and slept soundly. On the table in front of him, there were two empty packets of cigarette cases, and the cigarette butts in the ashtray had overflowed. I hurriedly went to the cupboard and found a blanket, quietly approached him, and covered him. I was about to turn to leave, when I heard him snort, grabbed my wrist, and took me into his arms.
I exclaimed, half-lying on his lap, and saw his handsome eyes half-open, wandering half-asleep and half-awake. He was like a night wanderer, silent, only the big hands moved on his own. Wave after wave of hot kisses swept across my cheeks and ears. Without the gentleness of the past, driven by instinct, his recklessness and directness made me feel like a great enemy.
"Quick, turn aroundγγγγγγ" It was rare to hear him speak. Before I could speak, he turned around involuntarily.
Suddenly, I felt that the previous temperature disappeared in an instant, as if I had been immersed in ice water. In the early morning of late autumn, it was like early winter, and the body temperature of the lost package dropped suddenly, and I didn't feel shivering. Fortunately, after a while, the flames were blazing, and the body and mind warmed up again.
I felt his passion, and I felt the pressure and pain in his heart. Perhaps, this is also a way for men to vent their stress, right? I was as tender as water, caring for his desires and obeying his demands in every way.
"Ah, Bing'er, thank youγγγγγγ" Luo Shicheng fell into his chair, his face full of glory.
I carefully covered him with a blanket and he fell asleep again. Like a baby crying at night, he will sleep peacefully when he has had enough.
I wrapped myself in my nightdress, walked out of the study, and closed the door gently. After washing up and changing into my home clothes, I began to prepare breakfast. I took out the rice cooker, boiled millet porridge, and after opening it, I put two poached eggs in it. More than an hour passed, and I took out the leftover dumplings from the previous night from the refrigerator and fried them with an electric baking pan.
As I placed the dumplings on the table, I heard a knock in the door of the study. Looking up, I saw Luo Shicheng rubbing his beautiful eyes and walking out of the study. Shrouded in the morning light, his figure looks taller and more majestic, and his beautiful face can fascinate all beings in the world.
"Woke up? Hurry up and wash up, breakfast is ready. I stood at the table and smiled at him.
He smiled ambiguously at me, lazily walked up to me, and took me in his arms. "Wife, it's so cool, I slept again. A man with a wife is happy, on call, and can guarantee that he needs it from time to time. After a while, we finished breakfast and went to listen to Gu Ya's case together. β
Originally, I was so ashamed of his pun that I had nothing to say. When I heard that he was going to take me to court Gu Ya's case, I stood on tiptoe excitedly and kissed him. He laughed happily and went to the bathroom to wash up. I ran upstairs to get his clothes and put them on the couch on the first floor.
At 7:10 in the morning, Luo Shicheng and I went out early, afraid of traffic jams on the road. After arriving, we saw Zhang Feng and four men, walking in our direction. One of them was a man who looked familiar when he saw me. Luo Shicheng whispered to me that this person was a lawyer for the company and had come to our house.
didn't care about more greetings, after everyone met, nodded slightly, and then took their own place in silence. After a while, Luo Shicheng took a few steps forward, lit a cigarette alone, and looked at the sky in the distance. Several others followed.
The lawyer leaned into Luo Shicheng's ear and whispered for a long time. Luo Shicheng took a hard puff of his cigarette, looked at the man with a frown, and didn't say a word.
Luo Shicheng turned sideways and said a few words to Zhang Feng, Zhang Feng nodded and came to my side. Luo Shicheng turned to look at me, pursed the corners of his mouth, and smiled at me dotingly.
I smiled at him sheepishly, examined his handsome face and well-proportioned figure, and found that this man was perfect, and could not find the slightest flaw or inadequacy.
It would be nice if Luo Shicheng could be ordinary and the background would not be so complicated. I'd rather he be a working boy, be a clean man, and live an ordinary life, so that he will at least have peace of mind.
Now, I have a bad suspicion of what he has done. It made me fear him. Even when I lay beside him at night, my heart was filled with fear.
The time for the trial was approaching, and Luo Shicheng returned to my side and put his arm around my shoulders intimately. As a group, we walked into the courtroom and sat down in the middle row.
"Gu Ya came out". Zhang Feng exclaimed in a low voice, his tone full of pain.
I looked at Gu Ya, her facial features were still beautiful, but she was full of haggardness. Her long hair was tied back and she was flanked by policewomen who were led to the dock. Gu Ya looked up at us, her gaze was fixed, and a glimmer of light flashed. I raised my hand, shook my fingers at her a few times, and nodded. Luo Shicheng nodded at Gu Ya imperceptibly, and the content in his eyes was meaningful.
Gu Ya lowered her head, her shoulders trembling slightly. She seemed to be sobbing.
The opposing lawyer's lawyer determined that Gu Ya was the murderer of Ma Chu. Because, on the handle of the knife inserted into Ma Chu's abdomen, there are Gu Ya's fingerprints. Regarding Ma Chu's suicide, the opposing lawyer's opinion is untenable. The reason is simple, Machu has no reason to commit suicide. His clinic has become famous and has become a celebrity, and it is when the spring breeze is proud, and it is impossible to suddenly commit suicide when life is smooth.
Gu Ya's lawyer in this regard stated Gu Ya's introduction to the situation before the case at that time, and explained that Gu Ya had used the knife that afternoon. Moreover, at that time, it was Ma Chu who instructed Gu Ya to cut the watermelon. At that time, Ma Chu was treating a patient number, and after the patient number left, Ma Chu threw it in front of the computer and typed something.
The opposing lawyer questioned Gu Ya: Ma Chu was emotionally stable at the time, how could he suddenly decide to commit suicide? This assumption lacks logic and does not stand up to scrutiny.
Gu Ya said excitedly: "Everything I stated is not a hypothesis, but a fact. We had an argument that afternoon, and the more we argued, the more fierce it became, and both sides were very emotional. We started arguing before that sick number came. After the sick man left, we quarreled violently again. Ma Chu and I were in a relationship and later conceived his child, but the child was not saved. Ma Chu's parents thought that I was a foreigner, with no foundation and no details, so they were firmly opposed to our marriage. We quarreled that day because of that poor child. Machu hoped that I would forgive him, but I said that I would hate him for the rest of my life. β
The opposing lawyer stared at Gu Ya with burning eyes and asked, "According to what you said, Ma Chu's words at that time angered you, may I ask what Ma Chu said at that time that made you use a knife against him?" β
Gu Ya choked up and said, "Ma Chu said, I'm a play, and the play is ruthless!" Because I've been an actor before. β
The opposing lawyer chased after him and asked suspiciously: "Miss Gu has also been an actress, and we have also done relevant investigations on this." It is said that between Miss Gu and Ma Chu, there seemed to be another man across the side at that time, and it seemed that he was still a big man. Later, Miss Gu's child was not saved, is it related to the legendary jumping incident? Does Ma Chu's death this time also have something to do with that big man? According to our investigation and evidence collection, Ma Chu used to run around to collect evidence before his death, wanting to prosecute the big man. β
Before the other party's lawyer's words were finished, Gu Ya's lawyer stood up solemnly and protested: "Mr. Judge, I think that everything that the opposing lawyer's insinuation just now has nothing to do with the case in this court, and there is no basis and lack of evidence. The law is the most evidence-oriented, and the court is sacred and solemn, not a place for some people to spread rumors wantonly! β
The judge pondered for a while and said solemnly: "Defendant lawyer, the objection is valid!" β
The opposing lawyer sat down unwillingly.
At this time, Gu Ya's lawyer calmly said to the judge: "Mr. Judge, we have a witness who can prove that Ma Chu's death was not a homicide, but a suicide!" β
There was a small commotion on the seat. On the plaintiff's bench, Ma Chu's parents, who were seated, suddenly condensed like frost, and looked at the judge with unbearable anger.
The judge said, "Witness to court!" β
I gazed expectantly at the judgment seat. After a while, a young man who looked like Ma Chu walked to the witness stand, accompanied by the police.
I only heard Ma Chu's father shouting angrily: "Ma Qiang, how can you, who eats things inside and outside, testify against your brother's murderer?" β
The judge immediately called for silence. As a result, the previous hustle and bustle instantly quieted down.
The witness Ma Qiang is Ma Chu's cousin. According to his description, on the afternoon of Ma Chu's death, at about half past three in the afternoon, Ma Chu called him and inexplicably said that he had made a will with a lawyer, saying that if he was not there one day, the savings and property behind him would belong to Gu Ya. Ma Chu insisted on telling his cousin the lawyer's phone number, saying that if necessary, he would trouble him to contact the lawyer.
After this cousin received this call, he thought that Ma Chu was joking with him, and he didn't pay much attention to it. But at about seven o'clock in the evening, he recalled the tone of Ma Chu's speech during the day, which didn't seem like he was playing humor with him, and he couldn't help but start to be a little worried. So, he started calling Ma Chu's phone, but after calling several times, no one answered. Later, he heard that Ma Chu had an accident.
The next morning, his cousin Ma Qiang was sending and receiving emails at work and saw a letter from Ma Chu in the mailbox. The email was sent at 4:10 p.m. the day before, and it read: I am too tired to live any longer. In fact, I already have the heart to die, but I still have worries in my heart, and I am a little unwilling, so I have delayed it until now. The people I love are separated from me, my heart has no place to return, there is no need to live, and I am determined to die! My death has nothing to do with anyone, please inform my parents. I'm sorry for my parents for letting them down!
As soon as Ma Qiang's words fell, Ma Chu's mother cried out loudly and viciously: "This is impossible, my son was obviously killed by Gu Ya!" Ma Qiang, you brute, you were bought by the other party with money, right? Joining hands with the enemy to commit perjury! Judge, he's committing perjury, there's absolutely no way my son committed suicide! β
The judge solemnly picked up the gavel and struck it on the table. Three days after the announcement, the trial will be held again!
Luo Shicheng gasped, his straight body seemed to loosen, and he leaned back in his seat.
Gu Ya was taken away from the scene, and when she turned to leave, she turned her head slightly to us. We made eye contact with her, and we couldn't help but cry. Gu Ya decisively withdrew her gaze and walked down.
Our group walked out of the courtroom and onto the open field outside the door. The sun is shining, and people can't open their eyes. Together, we walked to the parking lot not far away, and when we came, we parked not too far from the courthouse in order not to attract attention.
Zhang Feng drove the car and pulled the four men. Luo Shicheng and I got into our own car.
Luo Shicheng was about to start the car, and his mobile phone rang, it was Xicheng calling. Xi Cheng had already heard about the trial, and said that he wanted everyone to have a meal together at noon and celebrate in advance. It is estimated that Gu Ya should not be sentenced too harshly, at least not as a murderer.
Luo Shicheng thought about it for a while and said, Okay, we'll be there later.
Luo Shicheng said to me: "Bing'er, get out of the car, go to Xicheng at noon to relax and drink some sake." We took Zhang Feng's car over. β
Luo Shicheng and I got out of the car, locked the door, and got into Zhang Feng's car. Zhang Feng smiled and said, "Xicheng, this guy is well-informed enough, but it's a little early to celebrate in advance now, isn't it a little early?" β
Luo Shicheng sneered: "It's not too early, everything is expected, Gu Ya will at least not be convicted of a murderer, at most she is negligent and hurts, right?" β
Our group was in a relaxed mood and was very satisfied with the outcome of today's trial. Presumably, Gu Ya's heart can also be relaxed a little.
As soon as Zhang Feng's car drove out of the parking lot and onto the wide road, he heard a deafening explosion in the direction behind him. I pressed the window in horror, looked back, and covered my mouth in horror. I saw that Luo Shicheng's car instantly turned into a fireball, and the blazing flames pierced the sky. Immediately, a shrill siren was heard.
I lay on my stomach in Luo Shicheng's arms, my face full of tears and trembling. If we get out of the car any later, we will be like that car.
