Chapter 16: I Am a Witness
Zhu Shan was still working overtime the day before the holiday, and she didn't sleep well with a hangover last night, and now she falls asleep all at once.
When she woke up again, she was greeted by the man's back.
He sat there, flipping through documents with one hand and typing on the keyboard with the other.
Isn't it a holiday today?
Zhu Shan thought he was just dealing with something urgent.
I didn't expect him to spend this holiday no different from his work day.
Is the lawyer's profession so hard and so rolly?
Zhu Shan turned her head to look out the window, the sky was already dark, there was still a drizzle, the glass was full of water droplets, and she could faintly see the wall nest lamps scattered in the small garden downstairs.
She sat up slowly, the blanket sliding to her waist.
Her gaze returned to Ling Xiao's back.
There was no light in the room, only a metal goggle lamp on the desk.
Ling Xiao sat up straight, and his shadow was printed on the bookshelf next to him.
The shadow also has a good-looking and distinct profile of the face.
Ling Xiao is good-looking, Zhu Shan is a concept that only exists after junior high school.
Before junior high school, the one with the best grades in the class, as long as he was dressed cleanly and his facial features were fresh and refreshing, then he was the best-looking person in the class.
After junior high school, once Ling Xiao came to the class to find Zhu Shan, because Zhu Shan had forgotten something, but after that, Zhu Shan became Ling Xiao's exclusive love letter messenger.
At the beginning, there were fewer love letters, and Zhu Shan just felt that those senior sisters didn't have a good vision, and they would actually be to Ling Xiao.
Later, more and more senior sisters came to her to deliver love letters and gifts, and even brought some snacks and soda to her.
At this time, Zhu Shan faced up to Ling Xiao's appearance.
However, Ling Xiao's appearance is not in her aesthetic point.
When he doesn't smile, his eyebrows are fierce, and when he laughs, he has a ruffian.
From childhood to adulthood, light can bully people.
Compared with this, Zhu Shan prefers Ling Xiao's good friend, Senior Mu Yu.
Thinking of Senior Mu Yu, the corners of Zhu Shan's mouth turned up, and she took out her mobile phone, habitually looking at any unread information first.
Ling's mother: [Shanshan, look at which one do you like? 】
The following is followed by several pictures of bracelets, special-shaped contrasting bead bracelets, which are very ethnic style.
Zhu Shan chose the bracelet for the second picture and thanked her.
Back to the homepage of WeChat information, the number of messages on Ling Yue's profile picture is a little exaggerated.
She clicked in, and there were all kinds of bowing emojis.
Zhu Shan's anger still didn't subside, and she didn't reply to him.
She clicked into the work group again, and Qu Lianjie posted a video link an hour ago.
Zhu Shan frowned, because the man on the cover of the video was the righteous man who beat up the lewd man in the mall yesterday.
Zhu Shan clicked on the link.
In the video, the righteous man stood in front of a white wall, holding his ID card, and said calmly: "My name is Yang Maoxue, 32 years old this year, and I am currently working in the cleaning department of a private enterprise and the department manager. My lover and I met a man molesting a little girl in Area B on the first floor of Yufeng Heavenly Street yesterday, and I stepped forward to stop him out of justice and beat the man. ”
Speaking of this, Yang Maoxue took a deep breath and continued: "At present, he has applied for an injury appraisal and said that he will sue me. Because there was a problem with the mall monitoring on the day, I couldn't prove that I was righteous and courageous, so... The police told me that I might be charged. Here, I hope that the little girl who was bullied that day, or the well-wishers who were there to witness the beginning and end of the incident, can help me testify. ”
Finally, he bowed deeply and sincerely: "Thank you." ”
The video ends here, Zhu Shan pulls down her finger and clicks on the comment area.
Someone pointed out the video link of another party in the comment area.
After clicking on it, it was the video of the lewd man.
He was lying on a hospital bed, his face was wrapped in medical bandages, swollen like a pig's head, and his voice was weak: "I don't know him, and I didn't molest any women, I was shopping, he suddenly rushed up and beat me, like a madman, the bridge of my nose was broken, my eye membrane was bleeding, and the doctor said that I would have to do several surgeries......"
Zhu Shan didn't finish reading it, and felt that his miserable behavior was particularly hypocritical and disgusting.
She reopened the comment area, and public opinion was roughly divided into two factions.
One faction believes that if you fight well, you should fight to the death, and it is better to click your hand again; The other faction believes that fighting like this should be a personal vendetta, and acting bravely should be an excuse.
Zhu Shan witnessed the whole thing, and Yang Maoxue was righteous and courageous.
At most... Hit it a little heavier.
However, I remembered that the lewd man was caught red-handed by the little girl and beat him up, and he did not restrain at all and ran to another place to continue this behavior.
He should be a repeat offender.
It's disgusting.
Thinking of this, Zhu Shan only felt that Yang Maoxue was lightly beaten.
Zhu Shan stood up and burned justice: "I'll go to your scum, I'm going to expose you." ”
These words alarmed Ling Xiao.
He tilted his head slightly: "Dreaming?" ”
"It's not." Zhu Shan took two steps over and held up her mobile phone to show Ling Xiao.
After reading it, Ling Xiao was calm: "And then? What are you going to do? ”
"My video captures the lewd man's behavior, and I'll post it on the Internet."
Ling Xiao leaned back in his chair: "First, this news has rushed to the current hot search, and the amount of discussion is huge, and no one may notice it at all if you send it out." Second, your goal should not be to further stir up heated discussions, but to help people prove that there is a reason for it. ”
Zhu Shan pursed her lips, her big eyes flashing: "Then what should I do?" ”
Ling Xiao tilted his head sideways, facing Zhu Shan's slightly approaching little face.
She is half-hunched, holding her desk with her right hand and holding her phone in front of her chest with her left hand.
That's how she showed him the news on her phone just now, and there was nothing wrong with her actions.
But Ling Xiao felt that the light shone from the side, reflecting her fair skin.
Her eyelashes were long, thick, and curled.
On the rounded cheeks, the small mouth is slightly open, which looks naturally rosy.
Ling Xiao thought of strawberries.
Strawberries are one of the few fruits he likes.
Zhu Shan looked at him stunned, tilted her head and leaned closer: "Huh? ”
Ling Xiao came back to his senses, raised his eyebrows slightly, raised his right index finger against her forehead, and pushed it away.
Zhu Shan rubbed her forehead with her little hands, in fact, she didn't hurt, but she was poked, so she rubbed it.
Ling Xiao's eyebrows furrowed slightly because of her movements, but his tone was light: "You are a witness, you have something to find the police." ”
Zhu Shan frowned and bit her lip, thinking carefully about his words: "I am a witness..."
It's true, she posted a video on the Internet, which may not be seen by the public, and even if she did, it would not be notarized.
She should be a witness, go to the public security organ, hand over the video to the police, and explain the truth of the matter.
Zhu Shan pursed her lips, and when she lowered her eyes, she happened to meet Ling Xiao's gaze.
So he smiled and crooked: "Thank you." ”
After thanking her, Zhu Shan walked directly to the door.
"Where are you going?"
Zhu Shan turned around and snapped her fingers: "Police station." ”
"It's a holiday." Ling Xiao raised his hand and pointed to the dial on his wrist and reminded, "And it's more than seven o'clock in the evening." ”
"Then I'll have to go, too."
“?”
Zhu Shan frowned at him, and said: "Although I don't know if it's useful to go now, I know that public opinion is terrible." ”
For those who have been wronged, every second is torment.
Since she has the ability to help people clarify in advance, why not do it?
Zhu Shan went back to the room to change clothes, she wore a pair of straight-leg jeans and a burgundy drawstring short sweater.
After tidying up, she opened the door and saw Ling Xiao also changing her clothes and standing there.
For a moment, Zhu Shan wondered if he was going to go to the police station with her.
But she said, "You're going out for dinner?" ”
Ling Xiao looked at Zhu Shan with a world-weary face: "Do you want to go?" ”
???
In half a second, Zhu Shan reacted and jumped over: "Let's go, let's go now." ”
Sitting in the car, Ling Xiao hung up a Bluetooth headset: "Officer Song... That's what WeChat told you just now... Well... I was about half an hour to... Good... Excuse me......"
In fact, from his words, Zhu Shan already knew that Ling Xiao was solving this matter.
Much more effective than her scurrying around like a headless fly.
Zhu Shan pursed her lips: "Ling Xiao, in fact, we can get along well." ”
Ling Xiao played the steering wheel calmly, and his tone was calm: "It's me who blows up every time?" ”
Hearing this, Zhu Shan rolled her eyes.
Half an hour later, the vehicle stopped outside the police station.
The two entered the police station one after the other.
Because it is a holiday, this place is much cleaner than the last time Zhu Shan came.
Officer Song walked out from inside: "Ling Lu." ”
It turned out to be the police officer Song she had met, and Zhu Shan still remembered the embarrassing cramped way he called her 'brother and sister' last time.
Ling Xiao said politely: "Officer Song, I'm bothering you to run so late and delay your vacation." ”
"Where." Officer Song glanced at Zhu Shan on the side, and then smiled at Zhu Shan, "Brother and sister, you are here too." ”
Siblings!
Siblings!!
It's a brother and sister again!!
Zhu Shan pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled awkwardly.
She was suddenly pushed forward by Ling Xiao's arm: "It's that she has a video." ”
Officer Song approached kindly: "Brother and sister, take it out and let me take a look." ”
The corners of Zhu Shan's mouth twitched, but she still didn't speak, completely numb to the words 'brother and sister'.
But she unequivocally turned on the mobile phone video.
Before it was finished, someone hurried into the police station.
It's that righteous man, Yang Maoxue.
Officer Song immediately beckoned: "Just right, your witness is here." ”
In the last operation, the video was copied, and a few more words were asked, and it was signed.
Standing in the hall of the police station, Yang Maoxue bowed to Zhu Shan three times in a row, but he couldn't stop him.
"Thank you so much."
"If you don't testify for me, I'm afraid I'll have to go to court."
"Maybe a prison sentence."
"Thank you so much, I don't know how to repay you, if you need any help, just say, I will repay you."
Zhu Shan hurriedly waved her hand, her ears turned red, and she took half a step back to Ling Xiao's side: "I don't have to repay you, you are righteous and brave, I should do this." ”
Yang Maoxue took out his mobile phone: "Benefactor, let's add a WeChat, if you need help, just ask." ”
"Just call me Shanshan." Zhu Shan took out her mobile phone and scanned the QR code of his business card.
After adding WeChat, Yang Maoxue sent Zhu Shan to the car again, and thanked him through the window for a while.
After the vehicle started, Zhu Shan could still see Yang Maoxue in the rearview mirror, standing on the side of the road and waving to her.
She pursed her lips and smiled, rubbing her hot cheeks with both hands, very shy.
Ling Xiao chuckled: "Happy to be like this? ”
"That's it."
It is a pleasure to be able to help people and to be able to justify others.
Zhu Shan put her hands on her chest: "Ling Xiao, when you are a lawyer, don't you often help people seek justice?" Don't you feel that way? ”
"Oh." He glanced at Zhu Shan and said in a procrastinating tone, "No." ”
Zhu Shan: "......"
Because the time was a little late, Ling Xiao and Zhu Shan had dinner directly outside.
After eating, when I went to the parking lot to pick up my car, I passed by a fruit shop.
Ling Xiao stared at the red and fresh strawberries that were illuminated by the light, and stopped.
Zhu Shan stepped back and pulled away the wide men's jacket on her body: "What's wrong?" ”
Ling Xiao raised his eyelids and asked thoughtfully, "Do you want to eat strawberries?" ”
Zhu Shan had eaten a lot just now, so she shook her head.
In the next second, Ling Xiao walked into the fruit shop with long legs, without referring to her opinion at all: "I'll eat." ”
Zhu Shan rolled her eyes.
Now that you've made up your mind, why ask her if she wants to eat it?
Sick of it.
Back in the car, the box of strawberries naturally landed on Zhu Shan's lap.
One by one, wearing lace green hats, they look quite delicious.
Zhu Shan twisted one and stuffed it into her mouth, her teeth were full of sweet juice, so she enjoyed a "hmm~".
"Didn't wash."
Zhu Shan didn't mind, and said crookedly: "It's not clean, it's not sick!" ”
At the same time, she had already stretched out her little hand and twisted another one, ready to stuff it into her mouth.
"Zhu Shanshan." Ling Xiao tapped the brakes, his eyes were on the red light, and his tone was slow as if he had a deep meaning, "You can give me another one to try." ”
Zhu Shan's mouth was already open, and she was just a stone's throw away from the strawberry.
But the movement was so frozen.
Then the strawberries are back in the box.
Zhu Shan bit her lip and turned her head to look out the window.
Ling Xiao could see her lips pursed slightly in anger from the car window.
He retracted his gaze and stepped on the gas.
