After reading out the order of the trial, it was followed by the process that I didn't have time to complete last time.

It is the victim's turn to make a statement.

Cao Ling is the victim of this case, and she should have arrived at the scene a long time ago.

But when the judge announced that the victim had been summoned to court, there was no sound at the door.

The judge looked at the prosecutor impatiently, "Prosecutor, is the victim present?" ”

The prosecutor of the prosecution immediately stood up and wiped the edge with a tissue, "Back to the judge, the victim has not been able to contact since last night." ”

Cases of rape and indecency like this are not like the crime of assault and kidnapping, which endangers life, and the life is very dependent.

If the victim is unable to appear in court normally, the key chain of evidence cannot be formed, and the case is generally lost.

At the request of the prosecutor, the court was adjourned for 10 minutes not long after the trial, and ten minutes later, there was still no Cao Ling at the door.

It's the same as Lin Xiao guessed.

Because Lin Xiao pinched her most fatal weakness, she didn't dare to act rashly at this time, and directly did not appear in court to testify against An Jianguo.

In the second half, the prosecution's accusations pale in particular due to the lack of crucial evidence.

"The court is now dismissed, and the verdict will be announced in an hour."

Lin Xiao looked back at An Ran, the indoor air conditioner was fully turned on, but thin sweat was oozing from An Ran's forehead.

Her eyes were always glued to An Jianguo, who was ten meters away.

He seemed to be thinner than he had been in the last court session, and his expression was sallow and sluggish.

Looking at the extremely familiar and unfamiliar An Jianguo in front of him, An Ran finally shed tears, "Dad......"

But the prison guards didn't give them too much opportunity to talk, and after An Ran finished shouting, they directly carried An Jianguo out.

Passing by An Ran, who was teary-eyed, An Jianguo only glanced at An Ran, didn't say anything, and walked out of the door under the push of the prison guard.

In the face of Enron's loss of control, Tangyuan and Siyan were also busy with a pot of porridge.

Those who hand out tissues hand out paper towels, and those who buy snacks buy snacks.

The last Wang Zhonghan, he sat in the audience as a mascot, "You all did it, so what should I do?" ”

Lin Xiao glanced over, Wang Zhonghan understood and shut up.

When a person is overwhelmed by emotions, what he needs is release, not comfort.

Lin Xiao sat quietly beside An Ran, holding her hand.

When the tears are about to fall, help her wipe them away.

The waiting time was too long, An Ran's face seemed to be nailed, and his strength seemed to be empty.

The tears were uncontrollable, and they kept falling, "You say, will Dad be released smoothly?" ”

Lin Xiao nodded.

"But he just ......"

An Ran wanted to speak and stopped.

But even if she didn't say it, Lin Xiao could see the clue.

An Jianguo's face was as calm as a pool of stagnant water, and his eyes were empty and dull.

The most terrifying thing was that Lin Xiao didn't see the desire for life in his eyes.

Once a person has no desire to live, it is a terrible thing.

Wang Zhonghan seemed to be somewhat aware of the same problem, but he didn't see it as thoroughly as Lin Xiao.

He only said, "Enron, your dad doesn't look happy at all." ”

The victim's failure to testify in court and the lack of key testimony that he had just consulted a lawyer is a good thing, and it will also be the key to turning the case into a victory.

But An Jianguo didn't feel any excitement on his face, and even when he rubbed shoulders with An Ran, he showed calmness, calmness and resignation.

"That feels ......"

Wang Zhonghan was thinking of an appropriate adjective, "It feels like a dying person giving up struggling." ”

The rough man can't even think of "dying and struggling", so he can only use it together.

In fact, Lin Xiao also felt this way, but he was afraid that An Ran would be worried, so he didn't say it explicitly.

He didn't know what An Jianguo was doing, he only knew An Ran next to him, and he cried even more fiercely when he heard the words.

It wasn't until An Ran replaced the sobbing with a howling cry that Wang Zhonghan finally reacted and was busy pumping tissues for An Ran.

He was busy explaining, "I said the wrong thing, I said the wrong thing, alas, don't cry......"

But where can Enron listen?

Not only did he not listen, but An Ran also cried more fiercely than before.

I smoked one tissue after another, and later cried on Lin Xiao's shoulder.

"Woo, what should I do, Lin Xiao, I feel the same way, what should I do?"

Lin Xiao pursed his lips, "It's really a little abnormal. ”

Lin Xiao patted An Ran's trembling back as he spoke.

"I can understand your feelings, but we can't mess around now, we need to understand what happened to Uncle An first, and then find a way to help her."

An Ran raised his head and looked at Lin Xiao with teary eyes.

She raised the back of her hand and wiped away her tears, Lin Xiao was right, now she should understand her father's difficulties first.

An hour is not long, and Tang Yuan went to a nearby store to buy a bag of snacks and came back.

They are all nuts and puffed foods that girls like to eat.

An Ran was not in the mood to eat it, Lin Xiao took a bag of nuts and tore open the package along the opening.

I took a dried almond and put it in An Ran's mouth.

It's no wonder that emotionally frustrated girls on TV like to eat a lot of cakes, and it's true that they turn grief and anger into appetite.

After taking two bites, his attention was diverted, and An Ran really felt better.

An hour later, An Jianguo was brought back into the courtroom, and the clerks and judges took their seats one after another.

"All stand up."

Lin Xiao and his party immediately stood up.

It was so quiet that only the sound of the clerk reading the verdict could be heard.

"Now read the (2011) Xing Chu Zi No. 0453 Verdict."

"Defendant An Jianguo, male, ID number 458136197008281584, lives on the third floor of Building 5 on Taoyuan Road in Night City."

"On December 30, 2011, he was charged with the crime of indecency with a woman, which was ascertained after trial."

"Because the victim was absent from court and the evidence was missing, the facts of the accusation could not be supported by this court."

"This court announced that An Jianguo was acquitted of the charges and was released in court from this day."

The clerk's final reading undoubtedly brought the case to an end.

The expected answer, a smile immediately appeared on Lin Xiao's mouth, he hugged An Ran, An Ran also breathed a sigh of relief, and the hanging heart was finally let go.

The acquitted prison guard stepped forward and took off An Jianguo's handcuffs.

However, at this moment, something happened that surprised everyone.

An Jianguo stood up like crazy, shaking the prison guard to prevent him from untying it.

"No, Judge, I'm guilty, Judge!"

"I'm guilty, you can't just let me go, I really molested Cao Ling!"

"I'm a bad guy, why don't you get me arrested! I don't want to go, I'm going to stay in prison. ”

"Judge, Judge ......"

Out of the dock, An Jianguo was emotionally seated and the presiding judge in the middle was starry.

"Dad, Dad......" An Ran rushed over to stop him.

Lin Xiao also chased out, and Wang Zhonghan, who chased after him, muttered in a low voice.

"It's strange, it's always the guilty who shouts not guilty, how can anyone who has been found innocent shout guilty?"

An Jianguo, who was under the domination of anger, turned red with the whites of his eyes like a beast that had broken free from its cage.

An Ran grabbed his arm, but An Jianguo was so excited that with a flick of his hand, An Ran stumbled and was about to fall.

Lin Xiao stepped forward quickly, reaching out to support An Ran's shoulder to stabilize her.

There was no time to appease, so he rushed quickly, bypassing An Jianguo's clenched shoulders under his armpits.

"Uncle, what can't you talk about......"

"Judge, I'm guilty!!"

"Uncle An, Enron is behind you, calm down."

Lin Xiao was lean, and in the face of An Jianguo, who was crazy, it was a little difficult to pull.

The judge shouted to the clerk: "Security, call the security guard up." ”
