The sound outside was very noisy, in addition to the sharp female voice, Zhu Shan also felt that the hood of the car was slapped twice, causing the body to vibrate slightly.

Her vision was dark and her mind was foggy, but her sense of hearing was gradually sharpening.

She heard the female voice ask in a very fast and tough tone, "Lawyer Ling, may I ask why you are defending Ren Xingyan?" ”

"Lawyer Ling, please answer my question."

"Lawyer Ling, now that there is a lot of scolding on the Internet, what do you think?"

"Are you avoiding answering because you're ashamed?"

Although Zhu Shan is just a reporter who has not yet turned into a regular in a small column of the city TV station, she can also tell the unprofessionalism of the reporter outside.

Not like a journalist, more like a private studio for hyping topics.

It's even more like a short video platform, shooting eye-catching personal reporter numbers.

Zhu Shan thought that Ling Xiao disdained to deal with her, but she didn't expect him to speak.

He said in a cold tone: "In my country, any citizen has the right to ask for legal help, and I just did what I was supposed to do. ”

Female reporter: "Then if he is not the eldest son of the Indo-Japanese Group, will you still choose to defend him?" ”

Ling Xiao: "Your assumption is not true. ”

Female reporter: "May I ask Lawyer Ling, how much is your legal fee for this lawsuit?" ”

Ling Xiao's voice was already full of impatience: "No comment. ”

After speaking, Ling Xiao honked the horn twice.

The female reporter did not relent: "Is he really innocent?" May I ask you to exonerate a rapist, do you have a good conscience? Aren't you afraid that your career will be ruined and spurned by this society? ”

"I emphasize once again that my defense is based on the facts and the law as the criterion, and protects the legitimate rights and interests of the parties." Ling Xiao's tone was low and dangerous, "Also, pay attention to your wording, the words 'exonerate him' are enough for you to suffer a lawsuit." ”

Ling Xiao's words did not pose a threat to her, but after a moment of silence, she began to ask sharp questions again.

Ling Xiao didn't seem to be going to talk to her, but just honked the horn twice.

The female reporter glanced inside the passenger seat, although it was covered by clothes, but it could be seen from her legs that it was a woman, so she increased the volume: "This female comrade next to you, you are also a woman, do you have no empathy for what happened to Zhuoyue?" Are you covering your face because you feel ashamed? Don't you be able to agree with this kind of lawyer who defends a rapist? You ......"

Of course, Zhu Shan knew that this question was asking her.

She reached out with her little hand and grabbed the blazer on her head, trying to pull it down.

Suddenly, her hand was caught.

Her entire hand was completely covered in the hot palm and she couldn't move.

Ling Xiao exerted his strength, and Zhu Shan even felt a little pain from the squeezing of her fingers.

"Horn Horn—"

The female reporter's words were cut off by Ling Xiao's continuous car horns.

As soon as the horn fell, Ling Xiao's cold voice came: "Anyone who has any suspicion or evidence about Ren Xingyan can go to the public security organ to report it; Anyone who has any dissatisfaction or doubts about me can report it to the Bar Association. ”

Female Journalist: "I ......"

Ling Xiao interrupted again, and his tone was cold: "I remind you that you illegally intercept and pick up motor vehicles." According to Article 23 of China's "Public Security Administration Punishment Law", you will face a warning or a fine of not more than 200 yuan, and in serious cases, you will be detained for not less than 5 days but not more than 10 days, and you may also be fined not more than 500 yuan. ”

The female reporter's tone was a little trembling, but she pretended to be calm: "For the sake of justice, even if we are imprisoned for a few days and fined, we, we are not afraid!" ”

After two seconds of silence, Ling Xiao laughed.

This laughter is a bit biting in the hot summer.

Ling Xiao: "You guys blocking others like this, it may be the result, but here you ...... me"

He paused strategically, and when he spoke again, it seemed that the air around him had dropped twice, which was from a professional dimensionality reduction attack: "You blocked my car, made trouble in a public place, caused a traffic jam behind me, seriously affected the order of the public place, and intimidated me, harassing the lady next to me, so I will ...... you for the crime of picking quarrels and provoking troubles in accordance with Article 293 of the Criminal Law of my country."

His tone slowed down, as if the air was condensed, waiting for his next words.

Ling Xiao raised his left hand and tapped out of the car window: "One, two, three, four...... Four people, huh? ”

？？？

Many things don't happen overnight, just like now, the atmosphere needs to be set off layer by layer.

Zhu Shan was blindfolded, and she also felt it.

She, like everyone present, was silent, and she had subconsciously been pulled into a vicious circle of great oppression by Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao's tone was slow, as if he was popularizing the law: "Just enough for the number of people." It turns out that it's still, poly! Numerous! The crime of picking quarrels and provoking trouble. ”

This kind of thing is like luck for Ling Xiao, who has seen many criminals and faced countless lawsuits, large and small.

He snorted: "Isn't that at least five years?" ”

“......”

Ling Xiao restrained his smile, his eyebrows and eyes were dark and he looked straight ahead, and his voice was like a knife: "I am a little dutiful, and it is not impossible for ten years." ”

Muttered a few words outside the window.

"Lawyer Ling, that's not what we meant, it's... It's ......" The female reporter's voice was obviously panicked, "It was Bonjour who asked us to come, we ......"

Ling Xiao didn't want to hear it, so he said straightly: "Get out of the way!" ”

Zhu Shan felt that those people should have been shocked, because the vehicle was moving again, accelerating evenly.

After Ling Xiao's right hand was taken away, Zhu Shan found that her palms were stained with sweat.

She didn't move, still in the dark.

Then I roughly cleared my mind.

Last week, Ren Xingyan's case was tried for the third time, and he was acquitted in court, and the "Social Hotline" column team also did a third episode of the rape case.

interviewed Ren Xingyan, Zhuoyue, and professional judicial practitioners.

Although the verdict has been announced, Ren Xingyan and Zhuoyue still disagree in the interview.

Judicial practitioners analyzed the trial of this case from a professional point of view.

There was also a confrontation in the comment area.

In the past few months of Zhu Shan's practice, she has also witnessed several news hotspots, which come and go quickly.

I thought that this should be the case, but I didn't expect that Zhuoyue hadn't given up yet, and I actually found an unprofessional, so-called 'reporter' from nowhere to block people, intending to expand public opinion.

After a while, the car slowly stopped.

Zhu Shan's heart tightened, and her little hand picked at the blazer covering her head, the fabric was not softer than hers, thick and wide.

Ling Xiao raised his hand to pull off his coat, and his movements were not gentle.

Zhu Shan's hair was curled by her coat, and even the headband on her head slipped down to her forehead, and her hair was smudged.

Her little face was suffocated crimson, and she looked at the sky a little stunned.

It doesn't seem to have recovered from what had just happened.

Ling Xiao thought she was scared, after all, she was timid.

He looked at the hairband that collapsed above the gauze on her forehead, and before he could get closer, Zhu Shan's body immediately deviated to the car door.

Dodge.

Zhu Shan: "I, come by myself." ”

She lifted her hand to take the headband off, didn't put it on again, and then grabbed her hair.

The red light began to count down, and Ling Xiao withdrew his hand and his gaze.

After a long while, Zhu Shan raised her hand: "The supermarket is over there, don't you buy vegetables?" ”

"There's a supermarket here, too."

"Oh."

The interior of the car was quiet again.

The cramped now is different from the cramped at the beginning, at first Zhu Shan was embarrassed and shy, but now... She didn't know how to comfort Ling Xiao.

The car drove for a long time before it stopped.

Zhu Shan didn't understand why she had to take a long detour to such a supermarket, or if it was a supermarket that was not too large.

There are no trolleys at the door, and plastic shopping baskets are stacked on top of each other.

Zhu Shan saw that he was not emotional, and took the initiative to run forward to carry the basket.

Zhu Shan picked some dishes by herself, took two more bags of snacks, and then went to check out.

Ling Xiao followed her all the time, silent.

When she got home, Zhu Shan rolled up her sleeves and started working.

She steamed the rice and began to prepare the ingredients.

She wants to make the best curry chicken rice bowl.

Forty minutes later, Zhu Shan set the plate, and then went to knock on Ling Xiao's door.

He opened the door, changed into his loungewear, and seemed to have taken a shower, which smelled faintly of shower gel.

Zhu Shan rubbed her palms and squeezed out a smile: "Let's eat." ”

The two sat opposite each other, each eating their own food on their plates.

The space was eerily quiet, and the occasional sound of a spoon accidentally slicing across a porcelain plate could be heard.

Zhu Shan glanced at Ling Xiao several times, and when the meal was almost over, she took out her mobile phone and said stiffly: "I recently wrote a piece of news about the lawyer industry, can you help me refer to it?" ”

Ling Xiao didn't look up, and let out a soft "um".

Zhu Shan just took advantage of the time when the curry chicken in the pot was collecting juice, looked up some information, and then typed a lot of words with a notepad.

She read along: "A lawyer is not a profession that people can empathize with, it is not like a teacher to teach and solve doubts, it is not like a doctor to treat diseases and save people, and it is not like a scientific researcher to promote the development of humanistic society, it is like the law itself, cold and serious." ”

Ling Xiao's hand stiffened, and he raised his eyes to look at Zhu Shan.

Zhu Shan stared at the phone without squinting, and continued: "Before the suspect is convicted, then he is just a suspect, and no one has the right to convict him in advance." Most of these suspects may be really guilty, but as long as there is a wronged person, even if it is just one, this is the meaning of the lawyer's defense. Think about it, if a wronged suspect does not understand the law and cannot hire a lawyer, it is a lack of rights. ”

“......”

"There's always a misconception that lawyers' laws can be used in general. Actually, no, they also defend the parties based on evidence and the rules of the law. It is the judge who judges right and wrong, and the lawyer is only an agent for legitimate interests. Zhu Shan licked her lips, "The law is the bottom line of morality, and lawyers do not exist to uphold justice, but to maintain the dignity of the law." ”

This was condensed by Zhu Shan based on the information she consulted, and she didn't know if she could comfort Ling Xiao.

She raised her eyes after reading, looked at Ling Xiao, pursed her lips and asked timidly, "What do you think of what I wrote?" ”

Ling Xiao just looked at Zhu Shan, and then slowly put down the spoon in his hand.

There was a slight frown on his brow: "Which episode of the show did you write for?" ”

"Huh?" Zhu Shan blinked her eyes wide, stumbling and said, "That, that show may not be selected, it can be broadcast, I, I just prepare first, if it is to be broadcast, I will tell you." ”

Ling Xiao raised his eyebrows and nodded slightly.

Zhu Shan just breathed a sigh of relief.

Ling Xiao asked again: "Zhu Shanshan, why didn't you let me touch you in the car just now?" ”

"W-What?"

Ling Xiao tilted his head, and his dark eyebrows and eyes looked cold at the moment: "Also, I asked you not to pull away your clothes, why did you want to pull them away at that time?" ”

Why did you want to pull away at the time?

Because the female reporter asked for no reason?

Naturally not.

She just wanted to stand up and say a few words for him at that moment, when others attacked and humiliated Ling Xiao for no reason.

Just like he did to her back then.

At that time, at school, Zhu Shan's father's affairs fermented, and she was blocked in the playground by a group of people, saying extremely ugly words.

There were many senior classmates in it, and Ling Yue couldn't protect her alone, so she had to find Ling Xiao.

It was Ling Xiao who came and stood beside her, supporting her domineeringly.

Because I have empathized, I understand.

I also know how powerful it is to have a person standing by my side at such a time.

Zhu Shan reminded him: "You used to stand by my side like this, have you forgotten?" ”

After speaking, she also muttered: "I will repay my kindness, and I am not a person without conscience." ”

Ling Xiao slowly lowered his eyes, and there was some slight doubt in his tone: "You are not a person without conscience?" ”

These words penetrated Zhu Shan's ears, and she felt that there was no difference between saying that she had no conscience.

She wanted to fight back, but when she thought of the rejection of him all these years, she felt as if she was indeed a heartless person.

But she couldn't brainlessly accept him because of the word 'conscience'... Love, right?

She can't accept it, isn't that just no conscience?

Ling Xiao looked at her frowning and biting her lip, knowing that her thoughts had drifted away again.

He raised his hand and clasped the table, raising his chin slightly: "The question just now has not been answered." ”

Zhu Shan's thoughts were still wandering, and her eyes turned a little naturally: "What? ”

"Why don't you let me touch you in the car?"

“？？？”

Zhu Shan's eyes brightened instantly, and then the roots of her ears were slightly red.

Ling Xiao clasped his hands in front of his chest, leaned back on the chair slightly, and looked at Zhu Shan with a calm expression.

Watch her purse her lips, watch her eyelashes flutter, watch her fingers slowly clench into fists.

He's not in a hurry.

Wait for her to be cramped, wait for her to think, wait for her to answer.

Surrounded by the warm curry fragrance, Zhu Shan was panicked by the sight.

She gritted her teeth, pushed the porcelain plate in front of her forward, and then stood up with a 'poof' and looked at Ling Xiao condescendingly.

Then he said confidently: "Today you wash the dishes." ”
