Chapter 4 Elegance

"The hostess...... "As soon as I said it, I felt that this title was a little inappropriate, this was not a hotel at all, and the young woman was not doing business, so I quickly changed my words." Madam. ”

"Madame......" The young woman couldn't help but laugh out loud. I don't like such a crepe title, I'm Chinese New Year's Eve years old today, my surname is Han Mingke, if you are older than me, call me Xiao Han, if you are younger than me, call me Sister Han, come here to be a destined person, don't see outside. ”

This young woman is not only gentle and virtuous, but also has such a cheerful personality, if ordinary women would hide their age, but she said so down-to-earth and generous, just a few words make people feel extraordinarily warm, like inadvertently blowing into the spring breeze of winter.

In fact, I am still amazed at this hillside dwelling, and I am only here for this kind of almsgiving to passers-by

"Sister Han." I continued what I had just wanted to say. "You and the child only live here, won't you be afraid?"

"Little brother, you may not have heard me clearly just now, there are usually two nannies and two security guards here, but just in time for the Spring Festival, I will let them go home." Han Ke still maintained a faint smile, and her smile was as beautiful as a blooming peony. "If it's just me and my son, I'll naturally be a little scared."

"Actually, I wanted to ask...... It's the festive season and your husband doesn't have ...... Didn't stay with you guys? ”

Hearing this, Sister Han's son, who had been writing a brush, jumped down from the chair and shouted loudly. "Dad hasn't been back for a long time, and he doesn't care about me and mom anymore."

"Xiaotian, don't interject when your mother talks to your brothers and sisters." Han Ke scolded his son a few words. "Write with peace of mind, don't say a word!"

Xiao Tian sighed again, then turned his head and continued to write, but he was still muttering quietly. "My classmate's dad took the whole family on a trip to eat delicious food, why didn't my dad take me there?"

I could vaguely feel that there seemed to be a little sadness in Han Ke's eyes, as if she had thought of something sad, but it was just a blink of an eye, followed by that warm smile, she was a woman who was very good at controlling her emotions.

"My husband is usually very busy with work, and he has thousands of people under him who are counting on him to support his family, plus he has taken over several government resettlement housing projects, all of which are delivered in a hurry......" Han Ke felt that it was a little awkward to end the topic in this way, so he explained two more sentences. My husband works very hard, so many times he won't go home for the night, but I know that he must be working so hard for me and the children, I don't usually work, my husband has always raised me. I can't say that I don't work, my task is to watch the children and receive some passers-by. Ha ha. ”

Han Ke wanted to talk about this matter casually, but when he said it, he felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong, in fact, I personally didn't think there was anything wrong, it was reasonable for such a delicate woman to have a rich husband who had been raising her, this kind of full-time mother abounded around us, but I just don't know what Yu Ge and the girl in yellow would think of as women. I also regret that I shouldn't have asked so deeply, and it was more or less rude to inquire too much about the private affairs of an unfamiliar person.

"Sister, you look so beautiful and temperamental, you really can't tell that you don't work......" The girl in yellow blurted out without thinking. I've heard people say that women at home will soon grow old. ”

I thought to myself that this little girl's mouth is really vicious, isn't she sarcastic Han Ke by saying this, even if she has a thousand disagreements in her heart, now on other people's territory, accepting other people's alms, at least she should be polite. Of course, I know that she must have done it unintentionally, and if you want to blame it, the current girls are too maverick.

"Little sister really knows how to joke." Han Ke was not angry at all, but approached the girl in yellow and gently patted her shoulder to show closeness. "But you're right, that's why I want you to move in, so you can tell me stories from the outside world, so that I won't be too isolated."

Han Ke is really literate, and his speech is also measured, which makes people have to sincerely appreciate, having such a wife, it's worth the tiredness and hardship, I think her husband should be the same as I think.

"What did my sister do before? You can't have never worked, right? ”

"I studied medicine in college, brain science to be precise, but after I met my husband, he asked me to resign, because doctors are indeed a little tired and have irregular schedules." Saying that Han Ke once or twice is acceptable, but asking about a person's privacy over and over again like a woman in yellow can't afford even the most open-minded person.

"Oh, don't talk about these two beauties, let's hurry up and check in, I didn't sleep all night last night and now I can't open my eyes." Or Lao Ma is more clever, and he noticed that the conversation between these two people was very boring, and it was easy to ask for a place to stay, and if Han Ke was really angry, we estimated that we would really have to wander in Tai'an against the cold wind.

"Okay. It's good for you to take the door number and find your room, and I'll not deliver them one by one. With that, she walked towards the Chen couple's room. Oh, by the way, I live in 202 next door to Mr. Chen, you can always come to me if you have any questions. ”

As soon as he took two steps out, Han Ke stepped back, and then glanced at his son's handwriting. "Well, today's writing is pretty good, and the reward is that you can play for a day, but you remember not to go to the underground level, you know? The water in the pool there is very deep and dangerous. ”

"Great, great, finally able to rest." When Xiao Tian heard this, he shook the brush and almost jumped up with joy. "Ah Huang, go! We went out to play ball. ”

Xiao Tian held the ball, called out to the puppy that had been lying at the door, and then happily ran to the yard.

Yu Ge's room and I were at the end of the corridor on this floor, so we followed Han Ke through the tearoom into the hallway, while Lao Ma and the girl in yellow walked down the wooden steps.

Mu Xi looked at the thick information of the parties on the table, and still couldn't swallow the sip of tea that he had buried in his mouth a long time ago. Painter, sculptor, these words jumped and twitched wildly before his eyes as if he had Parkinson's disease. Meng Yan on the sofa on the side also didn't say a word, and the silence had lasted for about 10 minutes. The leaves outside the window have been stripped of their vivid green this season, the sun shines on them with a lifeless yellow, and the curved outline of the skyline makes the whole picture look like an old photograph.

Finally, Meng Yan decided to break the silence, he slowly stood up, the moment the sofa foot rubbed against the wooden floor, his voice finally became a string of fireworks that destroyed this silent world, "Lao Mu, it's not me saying you, this case, we shouldn't take it, this kind of case involving artists has always been a good or bad result, it is a matter of course. The characteristics of an artist are to treat the abnormal as normal, and crime as inspiration, do you remember the last time the female performance artist in Beijing was a goddess who didn't toss us to death, and this time you are still asking for hardship like this. ”

"Goo" Muxi swallowed a sip of tea hard, then took out an iron cigarette case from his jacket pocket and lit a cigarette, "I didn't want to take it at first, but the party gave me a commission that I couldn't refuse before I could reply, and I think this case is still a bit interesting to say." Mu Xi looked at his cigarette case, there were still 5 cigarettes left, he couldn't do without this thing tonight, maybe it would be another sleepless night.

"I wonder what this is. His case is 96 years old, and now it's been 16 years, almost 20 years, why is this case only being tried now. Meng Yan casually flipped through the case materials on the table.

"Do you think about what was unusual about us here twenty years ago?"

"Big brother, don't be funny, I was a primary school student twenty years ago, even if there was anything big, I didn't know."

"Do you remember when we were building the No. 9 Park here, and the whole city was in an uproar."

"Oh, Park Nine. I remember that this was our first park with an amusement park, I remember that at that time we were poor here, not to mention amusement parks, there was not even a movie theater, and finally there was such a tall thing, how could it not be heavily promoted. ”

"Do you remember that time, when this park was first built, because the project was in a hurry, the protection of the shore of the lake was not perfect, and several people drowned in the lake."

"As soon as you say that, my long-sealed memory was awakened at once, I don't know why I was always dead during that time, my mother told me every day, don't go to play next to the lake in No. 9 Park, what dragon vein is there, we alarmed the dragon vein or something." When Meng Yan said this, he felt like he had been knocked over by something, and he couldn't stop, "I was really scared at the time, and I slipped over there quickly, for fear of being caught by some dragon, now that I think about it, it's really because the project is unqualified, doesn't it mean that the city has repaired it many times later?" ”

"Yes, that's right, after the frequent accidents at that time, the leading officials probably also felt that it was because they were in a hurry to make meritorious achievements that there were so many accidents, and they were afraid that the families of those victims would make a big publicity, so they privately compensated the families of those who had accidents. So after half a year, no one mentioned this matter much, and the city reinforced and rebuilt it several times, and nothing happened after that. Our case is related to a little girl who drowned at the time. As Muxi spoke, the cigarette was already halfway smoked, and the ash stuck to it and was crumbling.

"This kind of case should be difficult to confirm, because the scene must have been very chaotic at that time, and there is no sufficient evidence to confirm how the little girl fell into the water."

"Yes, but the party insisted that he pushed the little girl down, and it was true that that time was the time when the party was in school in Pingyuan County, in this case, the police department had to conduct an in-depth investigation of the party, and then found that the party had symptoms of schizophrenia, and after sending it to the hospital for confirmation by a psychiatrist, it was found that the party's schizophrenia was very serious, and the sub-personality did have "aggressive" characteristics. However, this situation is indeed quite special, and it has not been possible to fully confirm the case, so the trial has been entrusted until now. ”

"Therefore, the police department can only default to the fact that the person concerned is the murderer, and now the problem is that this kind of multiple personality crimes, how to determine the sentence, right?" Mu Xi silently walked to the window, and the wind suddenly rose outside the window, but the cool wind in autumn more or less made him a little more sober.

"In fact, there is no clear qualitative method for this kind of case, which is different from the general mental illness that can directly escape criminal prosecution, because although it is multiple personalities, because each personality is actually clear thinking, but if we can confirm which personality the person killed the person and confirm that the normal personality of the person is not deliberately releasing this aggressive personality, and then after treatment, the aggressive personality can be eliminated in the brain of the person, and the person can be acquitted."

"Then we will maintain a neutral attitude in court at that time, and there will definitely be a psychologist present to talk to the parties at that time, and we will confirm it according to the parties' descriptions of the case, right?"

"It's right to be neutral, but I still hope that the person concerned can be exempted from prosecution as much as possible, or in fact, the person may not be the murderer, and if he can save people, he will not kill people." Zhao Yu's cigarette had been extinguished at his fingertips because of a long period of idleness, and he had already rekindled the cigarette while he was saying this.

"In any case, it is necessary for us to talk to the client again before the formal trial to see what his situation is." Xie Ming took off his coat hanging on the hanger,

"Let's go, without further ado, I'll drive this time."

Bang bang, bang bang.

Mu Xi knocked on the heavy wooden door, while exclaiming that he couldn't imagine that the party would live in such a mansion, there is such a European-style villa between the layered shopping malls and office buildings in the central district of the city.

The knock on the door is like the sound of fallen leaves in a valley, in a city full of skyscrapers. So weak, so shallow.

The door was carefully opened in the night, and a sharp light cut through the thick darkness, and the strong glare made the two waiting outside the door couldn't help but stumble back two steps. A pair of crescent-like eyes appeared in this place where the bright light meets the darkness.

A graceful figure gradually moved from behind the door to the center of the two men's field of vision.

"You, aren't you the actress?" Meng Yan couldn't help but exclaim, "That ...... who plays the queen" He hadn't finished speaking, but he felt that it was a little inappropriate for him to be so abrupt, and then he tried his best to suppress what he was about to say.

"You must be two barristers from Jingcheng's firm, come in," the woman said, pulling them into the lavish villa.

Imprinted on Meng Yan's eyes are the oil paintings on the wall, these oil paintings at first glance, full of strange taste, because the color of these oil paintings and the interior decoration are completely incommensurate, the bright colors are like a raging flame, people from the soles of the feet are burned faintly painful. But if you look more closely at these paintings, you will find that in fact, the same woman is hidden under these gorgeous appearances, and these bright colors are just the clothes on the woman's body, and all these exquisite paintings are painted in front of Meng Yan's eyes of the actress.

"I'm really going to ask you two for my lover." The woman beckoned the two lawyers to sit down, "I haven't introduced myself to the two of you yet, just now this gentleman seems to recognize me, yes, I'm the actress who often plays the queen mother, you can just call me mustard seed." "Women are indeed very likable from figure to appearance, and it is no wonder that she is one of the most famous actresses now, and the party in this case will be the husband of this big star, which is indeed something that the two lawyers did not expect at all.

"Hello, my name is Muxi, and this is my partner named Meng Yan." Muxi stretched out the hand that had been hidden in his coat, ready to shake hands with Mustard, but the moment he touched the woman's fingertips, he instinctively retracted his hand violently,

It was like the temperature of the moon, and it was so cold that it made people's hearts throb.

"I'm really sorry, I just came back from the set, and the set was so cold." Mustard glanced at Xie Ming with guilt, and hurriedly retracted his hand.

Meng Yan had not looked at him since he entered the house, he sat motionless on the sofa, and did not want to shake hands with the beautiful mustard lady, because he noticed the figure of a man walking towards the living room.

The man is quite handsome, but his messy hair has almost ruined all his image, and the black circles under his eyes can be seen that he has endured insomnia all year round, and the black and white striped shirt on his body, which is normal, looks a little more sick on this man.
