Chapter VII: Defendants in Rape Cases

Because I took a ride in the sky, I arrived at the company early.

Zhu Shan found her department, and when she pushed the door, the workstation was actually full of people.

She instantly had the illusion that she was late.

For this reason, Zhu Shan also deliberately glanced at the time on her mobile phone and determined that it was only half past eight.

She walked in and noticed that in addition to a few colleagues who were constantly tapping on the keyboard, several people were dozing off, and a few bold ones were sleeping on their backs with chairs on their feet and blindfolds.

In addition to the air-conditioned smell of the air, there is also a faint smell of coffee.

Zhu Shan's eyes swept over those workstations and deduced that the department should have worked overtime all night.

Zhu Shan hadn't thought about which colleague to disturb and asked about her own arrangements, and the small office door was pushed open.

It's Qu Lianjie, Director Qu.

He stood at the door of the small office and clapped his hands, and the dozing man was startled, but ignored him.

His dark circles were a little exaggerated, and he looked very tired: "There is still half an hour to submit, is there a problem?" ”

A colleague who was tapping on the computer keyboard raised his hand and responded, "No problem." ”

As soon as Qu Lianjie wanted to turn around and go back to the office, he saw Zhu Shan standing aside.

He beckoned with a smile on his face: "Shanshan, come here." ”

Zhu Shan followed, closed the office door with her hand, and then introduced herself: "Hello Director Qu, I'm Zhu Shan, ...... today"

"You introduced yourself yesterday." Qu Lianjie interrupted her and motioned for her to sit down, "First of all, remind you, be prepared to endure hardships, you have also seen it, our department is busy day and night." ”

"I can endure hardship."

"That's good, you go to the personnel department to go through the formalities later, and then go to the administrative department to get a work permit, and your workstation is in the third window."

"Okay."

"Everyone worked overtime all night, and they were very tired, so I won't give you any welcome ceremony today, you won't mind, right?"

"Of course not."

The welcome ceremony?

How embarrassing.

It is just right not to do it.

Qu Lianjie fiddled with his mobile phone: "I'll pull you into the work group, and I'll send you the work account I've applied for later, you can first take a look at our recent news materials, and then understand the work process." ”

"Okay."

Qu Lianjie suddenly thought of something, held his mobile phone and stared up at her, smiling a little deeply.

Zhu Shan's big eyes blinked twice, and she subconsciously touched her cheek.

Qu Lianjie's tone gossip: "You and Ling Lu are ......"

"Neighbor!" Zhu Shan's voice was raised, and she added, "The kind that grew up together since childhood." ”

Qu Lianjie patted the desk, looking like he had seen through everything: "I know that you are very familiar, and this is also the first month near the water." ”

Zhu Shan had a question mark on her face: "Huh? ”

"Let me tell you, the news that we worked overtime yesterday was about a rape case, which happened to be the second trial yesterday, and Ling Lu is the defendant's defense lawyer, can you provide some materials? For example, the direction of the case or something? ”

It turned out to be this news.

Zhu Shan remembered Ling Xiao's phone call yesterday and said very confidently that the third trial would definitely allow the defendant to be released in court.

Qu Lianjie looked at her a little embarrassed: "You can speculate boldly and speak boldly!" ”

Zhu Shan waved her hand: "I really don't know." ”

Qu Lianjie was a little disappointed, and waved his hand to catch up: "You go and finish the entry first, and then look at the materials yourself." ”

Only then did Zhu Shan leave.

After Zhu Shan finished handling the onboarding, it was almost noon.

She felt a gentle tap on the shoulder, and turned to see a slender, good-looking older sister.

Her name is Wu Jing, she is five years older than Zhu Shan, and Zhu Shan greeted her in the morning.

Wu Jing was friendly and enthusiastic: "Shanshan, do you want to go to lunch with us?" ”

Zhu Shan refused: "I have an upset stomach, I brought porridge, next time I am Dong, please eat." ”

"There is also porridge in the cafeteria, so you can go with us."

Zhu Shan really wants to have a good relationship with them, which will make it easier to ask them for news in the future.

She smiled sweetly and nodded, "Okay." ”

Seeing that they had already started to pack their things, Zhu Shan pointed to the time on the computer screen and asked, "Do you want to go to the cafeteria now?" ”

Isn't it twenty minutes before it ......

"It's okay, time, just use it flexibly."

Zhu Shan: "......" can still be like this?

Got it! Got it!

Zhu Shan followed her to the cafeteria and met her colleagues who ate together.

In addition to Sister Jing, there is also a boy named Zhai Honghui and a girl named Xu Wenwen.

Zhu Shan ordered green vegetable porridge and listened to them talk about the defendant in the rape case.

This case has attracted attention because the defendant Ren Xingyan is the eldest son of the listed investment company Insigil Group, and is currently the vice president of Insichi Group.

At yesterday's trial, Zhu Shan had already heard that the defendant's family was wealthy, but she didn't expect it to be so rich.

Indo-Japanese Group?

Zhu Shan felt somewhat familiar, but couldn't remember where she had heard it.

On the way back to the office after dinner, Zhu Shan took out her mobile phone to search for the Indo-Japanese Group.

Founded 18 years ago, it caught up with the good timing of real estate development, quickly went public, and gradually expanded the investment market.

Its company logo is a round red sun, supported by white clouds.

Zhu Shan finally remembered that she had seen the Indy and Japan Group on her mother's computer and saw this LOGO.

Could it be that my mother and the people of the Indo-Japanese Group know each other?

During the lunch break after dinner, the folding curtains in the office were lowered, all the lights went out, and a small snoring could be faintly heard.

Zhu Shan was holding her phone, and a faint light was imprinted on her face.

She looked at the screen of her mobile phone, which was the WeChat chat page with Ling Xiao.

There is not a word on it, they have never been in touch for so many years.

Zhu Shan hesitated for a moment, then typed, and she typed [Ling Xiao, you and the Insi-Ri Group ......]

Zhu Shan thought about it, deleted it again, and re-entered.

Zhu Shan: [Brother Ling Xiao, have you had lunch? 】

Zhu Shan: [What a coincidence, the news of our department is the case you tried yesterday]

Zhu Shan: [Yesterday's defendant Ren Xingyan, are you familiar with him? 】

Ling Xiao was looking at the case information, and his eyebrows moved when he received the WeChat message.

He took a sip of his coffee, stood up, and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window.

His law firm is on the 42nd floor, which overlooks Yuhe and half of the city center.

He pondered for a moment.

Then reply to the message.

Ling Xiao: [Unfamiliar]

Ling Xiao: [Just took a lawsuit]

******

Zhu Shan didn't expect to work overtime on the first day of the internship.

In fact, there are no hard and fast requirements.

At the end of work, Qu Lianjie left a few colleagues, and other colleagues began to pack up their things and prepare to leave.

Zhu Shan didn't have the brains to ask, "What about me?" ”

Qu Lianjie looked at her, and his tone was extraordinary. Lord: "You, it's up to you, if you want to stay, I can take you to see a sample of tomorrow's episode." ”

In this way, Zhu Shan stayed.

While eating dinner in the cafeteria, Ling Xiao sent a WeChat message.

Ling Xiao: [What time will you return?] 】

Zhu Shan: [Overtime!] 】

Ling Xiao: [Say in advance about overtime in the future]

Zhu Shan: [Why? Can overtime affect you? 】

Ling Xiao: [Affect me to lock the door]

Zhu Shan rolled her eyes, put her phone on the dining table in the cafeteria, and angrily picked up the bowl and poured the porridge into her mouth.

After eating, Qu Lianjie took Zhu Shan to the editing room to watch the sample film as promised.

It's news about Ren Xingyan's rape case.

Sample of the second episode.

In this case, the station plans to produce three episodes, the first episode has already been broadcast after the first trial, the second episode will be broadcast tomorrow night, and the third episode is expected to be produced after the third trial.

The main content of the second sample film is to explore the story behind the case based on the clues after yesterday's trial.

Zhu Shan didn't expect that from yesterday's trial to now, it has only been more than 20 hours, and she has accumulated so much material for interviews.

She couldn't help but sigh: "It's amazing. ”

Qu Lianjie was a little proud: "Journalists, what you pay attention to is fast." ”

In the sample film, after the reporter dug deep layer by layer, all aspects, as accurately and detailed as possible, the family background of the victim and the defendant, the background of the case, and the growth experience of the victim and the defendant were displayed in detail.

The victim Zhuo Yue was called "Zhuo Mou" in the news.

The defendant, Ren Xingyan, disclosed his name and identity.

Zhu Shan was a little puzzled: "Why? ”

Qu Lianjie looked at the sample and explained simply: "This case was already exposed on the Internet before our program was broadcast, because of the identity of this Ren Gongzi, and later the online news was covered with his mouth, and we were allowed to report it on regular TV stations, as for the identity of the victim, it should not be clear in any reason." ”

Zhu Shan nodded and continued to look at the samples.

In the news, Zhuo's mother died of illness at an early age, leaving only his father, who was a farmer, to make ends meet, so his family was poor since he was a child.

Her high school classmates were interviewed and said that she had excellent grades and good looks, and she was a campus goddess when she was on campus, and of course she had premature love.

Her roommate said that he didn't know about the money she owed, only heard that she was going to live in a big house, and didn't feel that she was under financial pressure.

And the defendant Ren Xingyan, the eldest son of the Yinri Group, has a wealthy family since he was a child.

His high school teacher interviewed him said he had excellent grades.

His high school classmates were interviewed to say that he was an upright and introverted person, and confirmed that he had suffered from depression for a long time.

At the end of the program, the reporter of this station went to the hospital to interview the victim Zhuo.

The victim Zhuo was mosaiced on her face, and said emotionally that she did not set up a trap to frame Ren Xingyan, and it was Ren Xingyan who performed sex on her. Invade. Crimes.

Faced with the reporter's questions about her falling into an online loan, asking her about the ambiguous relationship between her and Ren Xingyan, and asking her what she thought about the second trial, she suddenly became emotional and cried and asked the reporter if she didn't believe her.

Because she was emotionally uncontrollable, the reporter was persuaded by the doctor to leave.

Finally, the reporter had an exclusive interview with Zhuo's father.

Zhuo's father was mosaiced on his face, his body was thin, he was wearing a blue old-fashioned overall, and his voice was very vicissitudes and had a distinct accent.

He said that his daughter was filial since she was a child, and finally graduated from college and joined a large company to work, thinking that life would get better and better, but this happened.

He said that it was because of him that his daughter fell into an online loan because he was diagnosed with advanced stomach cancer some time ago and had to borrow money to see a doctor.

His daughter is not going to live in a big house, but is going to live with him so that she can take care of him.

His daughter is not a money worshipper, and she will not do such a thing for money.

In the end, he was also emotional, and the interview had to be interrupted.

At the end of the news, the reporter stood in front of the hospital gate with a microphone, saying that he was waiting for the truth and the final judicial verdict.

After the sample was played, Qu Lianjie explained a few more words and led Zhu Shan back to the office.

On the way, Qu Lianjie glanced at Zhu Shan and said with a smile: "What kind of expression do you have?" Wouldn't it be enough to work overtime? ”

"Huh?" Zhu Shan subconsciously rubbed her cheeks and denied it in a low voice, "It's not because of overtime." ”

"That's the news?" Without waiting for Zhu Shan to answer, Qu Lianjie asked, "What do you think after reading it?" ”

Zhu Shan smacked her lips, her little face wrinkled slightly: "I think that girl is crying in a panic." ”

"Shanshan, why do you want to be a journalist?"

As if she didn't expect the topic to suddenly turn here, Zhu Shan was directly stunned.

"Don't be nervous, I'm just curious about your education and major, why would you want to be a reporter."

Zhu Shan touched the back of her head and responded perfunctorily: "I have liked the journalist industry since I was a child. ”

Zhu Shan lied, all eyes drifted away, and her cheeks were still hot.

Qu Lianjie only thought she was embarrassed, and his tone was gentle: "It's a good thing that you have empathy and a sense of justice, but the verdict of this case is justice, and you, as a reporter, can't judge with subjective thoughts, understand?" ”

Zhu Shan still understood this truth, she nodded several times in a row, and responded: "Understood." ”

Qu Lianjie sighed and patted Zhu Shan on the shoulder: "It's late, let's go back first." ”

Zhu Shan packed her things and walked out of the TV station It was almost eleven o'clock, and she called a taxi on the software.

Standing on the side of the road in the silent night, under the yellowish street lamp, she breathed with a distinct fog.

Zhu Shan warmed up a little after getting in the car.

She leaned listlessly against the car window, looking at the city that was still lit up at night, and her heart felt like cotton was blocked.

After a while, she took out her phone and searched the Internet for the first issue of the report on the case.

During the interview, Zhuo's appearance was still mosaic, and he cried at the camera to accuse Ren Xingyan of the crime of the animal, and finally fainted directly in front of the camera.

The barrage full of screens is "girlshelpgirls".

It can be said that the current trend of public opinion is one-sided in favor of the weak Fang Zhuo.

But when the second episode of the program is broadcast tomorrow, Zhuo's two relationships overlapped, and the background of being deeply involved in huge loans was revealed, plus her ambiguous relationship with Ren Xingyan.

Even if she is a victim, she is no longer a perfect victim.

At that time, what will be the direction of public opinion?

Zhu Shan frowned, she knew very well how terrible public opinion was.

In yesterday's second trial, Ling Xiao also used the backgrounds of both parties to rationalize the cause of this "sexual assault case", thus reversing the direction of the case.

Moreover, the prosecutor's evidence was also overturned in court.

and Ling Xiao's phone call, he said so confidently that Ren Xingyan of the third trial will be released in court.

Zhu Shan felt uncomfortable, because she was afraid of what if Zhuo was really a victim?

How can she defend her justice when she has no power and no power!

It's like... Back then, her father was like that, and there were words of suffering.
