At that time, Zhu Shan didn't know Ling Xiao's inner struggle, she only felt that his words could soothe all the hardships in this world for her.

He was the only one she could hold in the dark.

So, she grabbed him by the clothes, and although her tone was frustrated, she was eager to say the horrors of being alone: "I was... When I saw that explosive, I thought I was going to die, I was going to die... So, why should Ren Xianli get away with it? He killed my parents and got unpunished, why? I... I want revenge... I'm sorry Lingxiao, I was... I thought that way......

Like he said, she had become a different person at the time, and now that she thinks about it, she feels terrible.

Ling Xiao hugged Zhu Shan tightly, feeling her breathing and panting, as well as sobbing.

Zhu Shan: "But... When I raised the knife, I saw a little refraction......

Ling Xiao's body was stunned, and there was a sudden fluctuation in his heart: "What?"

Zhu Shan pushed Ling Xiao, raised her head from his arms, and raised her wrist.

There were some black gray stains on her cheeks, because the tears were messy, but her eyes were still clear and shining.

Zhu Shan looked at her wrist: "Hands, bracelets."

Ling Xiao lowered his eyes, the hand holding her shoulder was shaking, and he saw that there were some blood stains on her white wrists, and a thin diamond bracelet was shaking under the cuffs of her coat.

It was his birthday present to her.

At the moment when the knife was raised, the scene that flashed in Zhu Shan's mind was in the warm home, Ling Xiao used matches to light the candles for her birthday cake.

- The bracelet is not expensive, but it has a name.

- It's called Yunxiao.

He was looking at her, with candlelight on his face, and she in his eyes, and he shook the match and told her so.

Zhu Shan raised her hand, grabbed Ling Xiao's collar tightly, and put her whole body on it.

She closed her eyes and listened intently to his heartbeat, and her tone was soft and calm: "I know that my hero will come, and my hero will definitely let the bad guys be judged."

So, she couldn't do that.

Ling Xiao was stunned for a few seconds, and then hugged Zhu Shan fiercely.

He tilted his head, looked at the white ceiling, and let out a slow breath.

His shoulders slackened and he touched her hair: "Shanshan, how did Ren Xingxian die?"

"He took my hand and killed himself." Zhu Shan thought that her hand was tightly held on the hard hilt, and when it sank into the human flesh inch by inch, because of her return force, the blade was pulled back, and a stream of blood came out, full of blood, and it has not dissipated until now.

Zhu Shan's body began to tremble again, but she emphasized: "I really, no, I didn't want to kill him, I couldn't break free, it was really him."

"It's all right." Ling Xiao touched the back of her head, and her heart finally fell.

This sentence said to Zhu Shan.

Said it to himself too.

Ling Xiao lost his mind and normal thinking tonight, and now he has finally eased up.

He brushed Zhu Shan away, looked at the chains on her feet, then held her shoulders and said solemnly, "I can't hold you now, you sit here and don't move, don't be afraid, can you do it?"

Zhu Shan was stunned for two seconds, then nodded.

Ling Xiao took off his coat and draped it over Zhu Shan.

He tugged at her collar and wrapped her all, then grabbed her by the shoulders and kissed her on the forehead, "Good."

The most important thing for him now is to help Zhu Shan clear his suspicions.

Soon, a lot of people came.

The police cordoned off the scene, and Ling Xiao could no longer stay inside.

When he left, the fire brigade was cutting the chains on Zhu Shan's feet, and she hid under her clothes, looked at him with big eyes, and said to him, it's okay.

Ling Xiao went downstairs and rewatched the live broadcast of the screen recording just now.

However, that scene stopped at the moment when Zhu Shan picked up the knife.

When Li Shang arrived at the scene, Ling Xiao was standing in the night, his tall body trembling.

He said he was freezing.

Actually, he himself can't be sure.

After a brief exchange, Zhu Shan was taken out of the building by the police.

Ling Xiao wanted to go up, but he controlled it.

He couldn't go up.

He watched Zhu Shan walk past him, and when they looked at each other, he said two words to her with the shape of his lips: Don't be afraid.

Zhu Shan nodded obediently and pulled her throat: "Ling Xiao! I'm not afraid!"

Her voice was loud, but it was trembling.

Ling Xiao's eyes were a little wet in an instant.

He turned around, patted Li Shang on the shoulder, and lowered his head: "I'll leave it to you."

"Okay, I'll follow." Li Shang asked, "What about you?"

"I'll wait for Forensic Doctor Xu."

There was no third person at the scene, tens of thousands of netizens saw Zhu Shan pick up the knife, the knife had her fingerprints on it, and the four policemen saw her holding the handle of the knife and pounced on Ren Xingxian, and the blade fell into Ren Xingxian's heart.

He could only wait for the results from the medical examiner before making the next move.

******

Chinese New Year's Eve.

It's past seven o'clock in the morning.

Ling Xiao saw Prosecutor Su come out of the police hall.

He greeted him, "Prosecutor Su, have you seen the autopsy report?" It says that the wound is from the bottom up, and there is ......."

"Ling Lu." Prosecutor Su interrupted him, turned around and said coldly, "You're not her Linglu, are you?" Did you cross the line?"

Ling Xiao gritted his teeth and emphasized loudly, "I'm just stating the facts to you! You can't ......."

He paused suddenly, his eyelashes trembled, and then lowered his eyelids: "Prosecutor Su, I'm sorry."

Prosecutor Su and Ling Xiao had three court confrontations.

Except above the courtroom, the two didn't have much contact, but Ling Xiao could see the hostility in his eyes.

Maybe it's not hostile either.

Prosecutor Su is also the first time to see Ling Xiao like this.

He didn't wear glasses, he didn't scratch his hair, his face was pale, and he had a new blue stubble.

He lost the self-confidence, pride, and arrogance in the courtroom, but like the family members of many cases he had come into contact with, he lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, and was extremely humble.

Prosecutor Su had seen him so reckless, so he felt more in his heart.

Ling Xiao's fingers pinched into his palm: "Prosecutor Su, I ask you, don't ......."

Prosecutor Su sneered and interrupted Ling Xiao in a very sarcastic tone: "Please don't insult my profession."

"......" Ling Xiao bowed slightly, and apologized again, "I'm sorry."

Prosecutor Su narrowed his eyes: "Frankly, I have indeed been hostile to you, but that is only in court."

「......」

"Professionally, I still admire you."

「......」

"Ling Lu, I also paid attention to the news some time ago, you blocked your career and reported your client." Prosecutor Su, "I'm also impressed."

******

At noon that day, Li Shang came out of the hall and told Ling Xiao that all the tests had come out, and the procuratorate said that the evidence was insufficient and that Zhu Shan was fine.

Ling Xiao was standing at the time, and when he heard this, his head suddenly emptied, as if he had filled his head with cotton.

His eyes flickered, and he took two steps back weakly on his feet, but Li Shang quickly supported him.

Li Shang frowned: "Why are you so hot?"

"Isn't this winter?" Ling Xiao stood up straight, the corners of his mouth floated, and his tone was light, "It's easy to catch a cold."

"You go to the hospital, there are still some procedures here, I'll take a look."

Ling Xiao shook his head, "I'll wait for her."

"Have you eaten?"

"I can't eat it."

"Who are you torturing?" Li Shang sighed, "Shanshan ate two boxes of lunches at noon."

The midday sun shone in through the entrance of the police department, imprinting a parallelogram on the ground

The shape of light and shadow.

Ling Xiao stood in the light and smiled, "She has always had a good appetite and is also well-behaved."

Li Shang still wanted to say a few words, but Ling Xiao had already turned around and called to tell the family that it was okay here.

Li Shang couldn't control him, and advised himself that he couldn't see death out of humanitarianism, so he scolded and went to buy food and cold medicine.

Ling Xiao was not in good spirits, and he ate very slowly, so Li Shang sat next to him and told him about Zhu Shan's side.

He said that the explosives were fake, and Ren Xingxian used them to deceive Zhu Shan.

After the live stream was cut off, he tried to re-invade, but failed.

Later, he kept trying to provoke Zhu Shan to let her kill him, but Zhu Shan refused, and later, he heard the siren, so he counted the time to take Zhu Shan's hand and stabbed the knife into his heart.

After Li Shang finished speaking, he said indignantly: "Only 17 years old, a half-old child, what a pervert."

Ling Xiao didn't eat much anymore, put away the lunch box, and tied a knot in her pocket: "Did she cry?"

"Nope." Li Shang looked at Ling Xiao, "Shanshan usually looks quite weak, but when she talked about this just now, she was very calm and calm, and she was quite strong."

Ling Xiao got up and went to throw out the garbage.

He was noncommittal to Li Shang's words.

Zhu Shan is timid, but also brave; cowardly, but also just; I've gone through many, many bad things, and I'm still strong.

She's been good.

Ling Xiao took cold medicine, and because he hadn't slept all night, he was very sleepy, sitting on a cold row chair, leaning on and dozing.

Zhu Shan came out in the evening, wearing Ling Xiao's coat, the length reached below her calf, and the buttons were tightly buttoned, like a child stealing adult clothes.

She was fine, but when she saw Ling Xiao's uncontrollable tears, she ran over with open arms to hug her.

Ling Xiao chuckled and hugged her, his voice hoarse: "Can you have some luck?" Didn't you say don't be afraid, don't worry?"

Zhu Shan sniffed, at this time, he actually taught her a lesson.

She couldn't hold back, her little fist slammed him on the chest, and she cried, "You're so annoying."

"Yes, I'm annoying." He gripped her fist and nodded.

Zhu Shan paused, found that his voice was wrong, and tilted his head: "What's wrong with your voice? Have you caught a cold?"

Ling Xiao raised his eyebrows: "It's a little."

"Isn't it uncomfortable?" Zhu Shan immediately took off her coat and put it on Ling Xiao on tiptoe, "You hurry up and put it on."

"It's a little sore in my throat, why did you put clothes on me?"

Zhu Shan ignored him: "Let's go to the hospital."

Ling Xiao raised his hand, hooked a bag on his fingers, which contained a medicine box and bottled potions, and he shook it stiffly: "I bought the medicine."

Before Zhu Shan could see the medicine in the bag, Ling Xiao had already taken her hand and walked out: "Shanshan, it's time to go home for the New Year."

"......" Zhu Shan pursed the corners of her lips and held his fingers back, "Okay."

When she got home, Mother Ling hugged Zhu Shan to see if she was okay.

She turned Zhu Shan twice: "It's okay, it's okay."

Ling Yue was also talking about worry beside him.

Ling Xiao's nerves are not very good, maybe because he is sick, or because he hasn't slept all night, and now he is a little annoyed by the tight and dense chat, and his head hurts.

Ling Xiao rubbed his temples, "We have to take a shower first, we haven't eaten dinner yet."

Mother Ling: "Son, do you have a cold?"

Ling Xiao: "Bought the medicine."

Ling's mother nodded, and then went out with Ling Yue.

Originally planned to go back to their hometown today, who knew that such a thing happened, there was no food in the refrigerator, they were worried all day, and they did not cook Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, so they could only take advantage of this time to go out to buy some food.

waited for everyone to leave, and Ling Xiao led Zhu Shan to the room.

Zhu Shan paused: "Let's wash together?"

"Or else?"

"......" Zhu Shan didn't say

words, but the steps stopped.

Ling Xiao turned around, frowned slightly, and complained a little about Zhu Shan's ruthlessness: "I'm sick, and when the heat steam later, I may faint."

Zhu Shan: "......" is also right.

Zhu Shan let go of Ling Xiao's hand and took his arm and walked to the room: "If you are not feeling well, just rely on me."

Ling Xiao let out an "um" and gave Zhu Shan some weight.

Zhu Shan: "I'll wash it for you first, and then I'll wash it again."

Ling Xiao: "That's a waste of time, I have to eat Chinese New Year's Eve, I'm starving."

Zhu Shan: "......" too.
