Once the trial is over.

Inside and outside the courtroom, it was bustling, coming and going, and everyone became passers-by.

Once the trial is over, the prosecution and defense, the jury and the trial seat, the court staff, everyone will start to take a stand, go back to their homes, find their mothers, go back to work and work, and tomorrow will continue as usual.

If you want to say that the only one who is happy is probably the one who wins the case.

Especially in criminal trials, the side that gets a not guilty defense is really the same as being born again.

Therefore, the defense bench cheered and laughed for a long time.

Zhou Ping'an took Zhou's mother, said goodbye to Alice, and walked out of the criminal court.

Similarly, Zhang Yi, who said goodbye to Alice, also left the criminal court with Zhou Ping'an.

……

1 hour later.

Oriental City, a neighborhood.

Good taste hot pot restaurant nearby, inside a secluded street.

Zhou Ping'an took Zhou's mother and returned to the place where he had worked for 10 years.

Looking at the hot pot restaurant with the door closed in front of him, Zhou Ping'an let out a long sigh.

"Son, go back, let's go back to our hometown, don't wander around in this big city."

Mother Zhou glanced at the hot pot restaurant in front of her, and said with a look of disgust: "Tell me about you, you have been out for 10 years, and you have been staying in this broken restaurant, and you haven't made any money, and the boss is dead, haven't you been completely abandoned in the past 10 years?" ”

"Mom, don't say that!"

Seeing his mother slandering the shop where he worked, Zhou Ping'an's tone was a little unhappy.

"What, am I wrong?"

Zhou's mother saw that her son was against her, and she was immediately unhappy, "It's such a broken shop, our hometown grabs a lot of it, and people are separated by a few months, I don't know how many are closed!" ”

"Mom!" Zhou Ping'an saw that Zhou's mother was still thinking about it, and immediately shouted.

"What's the matter, what did I say wrong, what future can you have as a waiter in this big city, listen to me, let's go back today and go back to our hometown!"

Mother Zhou saw her son refute again, and finally couldn't help it and told her true purpose.

And she crossed her hands on her hips, and her tone was undeniable: "Everyone says that Dongfang City is good, what is good about us here, you are almost slandered and imprisoned, this place is simply hell!" ”

"Son, listen to Mom, let's go back, let's go back! When you go back, your mother will talk to you about family affairs, and then you will look for a job in our hometown. ”

Hearing his mother say this again, Zhou Ping'an's face instinctively flashed with disgust.

He just couldn't stand the trivial things at home, so he ran out, and now he is letting him go back, he is not happy.

But at this moment, a sudden change occurred.

Toot –

Behind Zhou's mother, a hurried horn sounded.

Zhou Ping'an's eyes were quick and he pulled Zhou's mother aside, so that he was not hit by the little electric donkey behind him.

Zhou's mother was suddenly shocked, and when she saw that it was a small electric donkey, she immediately became angry.

"Will you ride a bike, a broken delivery person, almost hit someone, do you know, be careful to hit the old lady and kill you!"

", old woman, walk by yourself and don't look at the road, this road is so narrow, you two account for half, Lao Tzu is happy to get used to you?"

The eldest brother who delivered food was not good-tempered, he was complained by customers every day, squeezed by crowdsourcing points and platforms, and he was also angry in his heart, so he immediately replied.

"You, you, how do you talk, it's reasonable to hit people, isn't it?"

"Bump into someone, bump into someone, two hillbillies, poor and crazy!"

The takeaway brother scolded angrily, but then glanced at his phone and found that his order was about to time out, so he hurriedly turned around and left.

"Two poor ghost hillbillies, bad luck!"

Another curse, and then his figure faded away from the end of the street.

"Damn, what quality, you yourself are from other places, and you still scold us!"

The anger in Zhou's mother's heart soared, and she was still scolding in her mouth.

But she didn't realize that the son next to her was silent and terrible at the moment.

"Mom, you go back to your residence first, I'll go to the store to pack up my things, and I'll go back to you right away."

"Son, you finally agreed, agreed to go back with me!"

Hearing that Zhou Ping'an decided to clean up her things, Zhou's mother immediately became elated.

"Okay, okay, I'll go back, I'll wait for you at the accommodation, you must come back early!"

Zhou's mother didn't care about what happened just now, but gave a word of advice and hurriedly returned to Zhou Ping'an's rental house.

However, after Zhou Ping'an saw Zhou's mother leave, he didn't even look at the hot pot restaurant behind him, but looked in the direction of the takeaway brother and chased him out.

As he walked, his mouth was still fragmented.

"Call me a hillbilly, you damn it!"

At this moment, Zhou Ping'an's eyes were full of fierceness and cruelty, not at all like a young man with vigor.

It's more like ...... Murderer!

……

Two blocks away.

The takeaway brother took a takeaway letter from a fast food restaurant with an unhappy face.

"Damn, I said it was 2 minutes, but now it's 30 seconds overtime, if this list is deducted, it's all the fault of those two hillbillies!"

The eldest brother said, glanced at the timer in the mobile app, and was still scolding in his mouth.

At the corner of the street, Zhou Ping'an hid in the shadows, his eyes staring at the takeaway brother, and he didn't know when there was an extra fruit knife in his hand.

The takeaway brother didn't know that he had been targeted, and he was about to set off, but a figure behind him gradually approached him.

The sharp blade was about to cut at the vital point of the takeaway brother, and a cruel smile appeared on Zhou Ping'an's face.

"Yo roar, isn't this Xiao Zhou!"

Suddenly, a voice interrupted Zhou Ping'an's movements.

His face changed, the fruit knife in his hand retracted into his cuffs, and the person immediately turned his head to look behind him.

Zhang ...... Assistant Zhang? ”

Seeing the person behind him, Zhou Ping'an was stunned.

The case has been won, and it stands to reason that I and the other party will not intersect again, but why does the other party appear here?

"What, you were surprised that I was here?"

Zhang Yi seemed to be able to read minds, and walked towards Zhou Ping'an with a smile.

"It's all time for dinner, I originally wanted to go to you to have a hot pot with good taste, but I almost forgot, didn't Boss Tan be wiped on the neck by you?"

As soon as these words came out, Zhou Ping'an's pupils shrank slightly.

"That, Assistant Zhang, I don't know what you're talking about......"

Zhou Ping'an's hand holding the fruit knife trembled, and he hurriedly pretended to be stupid.

"It's okay, aren't you going back to pack your things, I'll walk with you."

Zhang Yi said, pointed to the direction of the good taste hot pot restaurant, and signaled that Zhou Ping'an could go with him, and the two of them would be together.

Zhou Ping'an thought about it, but he didn't refuse.

Zhang Yi and him walked one after the other towards the good taste hot pot restaurant.

"By the way, Zhou Ping'an, are you still going to play stupid with me?"

"Play stupid, I don't know what you're talking about......"

Seeing that Zhou Ping'an still didn't admit it, Zhang Yi sneered.

"In court, I've seen it all, when the other employees of your store say bad things about you, you have been putting up with it, it must be very hard, you also want to slaughter him?"

Only then did Zhou Ping'an recall that when he was on the court's work card, he gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and there was indeed murderous intent in his eyes.

But his killing intent is very subtle, and he is not a psychology expert, a micro-expression expert, how can he see the problem at a glance.

Is Alice's assistant in front of him an expert in this area?

But even so, he didn't really do it, he expected Zhang Yi to be embarrassed by himself.

Just because you have the idea of killing someone in your head doesn't mean you have to pay the price.

This is called criminal intent, for example, Zhang San wants to kill Li Si, he just imagines in his mind that criminal intent does not violate any laws.

"After all, we helped you deal with the murder charges, and you may think in your heart, anyway, with the help of a lawyer, so there is no price for you to kill, right?"

Zhang Yi continued to mutter as he walked.

"Speaking of which, the dead Lao Tan too, he couldn't have imagined that the most honest employee under his hands would suddenly wipe his neck."

Zhang Yi sneered, and without waiting for Zhou Ping'an to open his mouth to defend himself, he predicted in advance: "I know you want to say no, but it's just you and me here, it's useless for you to deny it, after all, the facts are the facts!" ”

"Assistant Zhang, I don't know what you're talking about......"

But Zhou Ping'an glanced at Zhang Yi and still denied it.

Because he wasn't sure if the other party had a recording device hidden on him, he wouldn't be tricked.

"You're still guarding against me."

Zhang Yi smiled and began to explain to himself: "Your purpose is so easy to guess, why don't you choose an excellent lawyer, you have to choose Alice, do you really think I will believe that you are out of trust, so you chose that little girl?" ”

"Wouldn't any other lawyer believe my innocence, they ......"

"They all have experience, they can determine at a glance that you are the murderer, and you don't dare to bet, so you deliberately chose an inexperienced one!"

Zhang Yi directly pierced Zhou Ping'an's thoughts, and still sneered on his face: "Lao Liu of the Investigation Department, he can see at a glance that you are the murderer, relying on 30 years of criminal investigation experience!" ”

"In the same way, those criminal defense lawyers, who have a lot of experience dealing with criminals, can tell at a glance whether you are lying, whether you are actually killing someone."

"In front of an experienced veteran, you know that pretending is useless, on the contrary, it will exchange the other party's distrust, so you deliberately choose an inexperienced one, because the other party will not know that you are lying, you are deceiving the other party."

"That's why you chose Alice, Zhou Ping'an."

In Zhang Yi's mind, the image of Alice emerged.

Although the little girl adheres to her principles, she doesn't talk about people's dishes, and she is still addicted to lawsuits, so she actually took on such a case.

said that she would not abandon or give up, and would not leave the parties, but she did not know that from beginning to end, she was calculated by Zhou Ping'an.

"Lawyer Alice, a good lawyer, she ......"

"She is indeed a good lawyer, but this can't hide that she is an inexperienced rookie, otherwise she would not be dragged by your nose."

Zhang Yi sneered, and then continued: "Using Alice is because you need such a rookie to help you defend yourself wholeheartedly, but you didn't expect her to be so dish, right?" ”

The corners of Zhou Ping'an's mouth twitched subconsciously.

"That girl is my boss, let's not talk about her, anyway, after she is used by you, she is a fool in my eyes!"

Zhang Yi unabashedly sarcastically mocked his nominal boss, and then looked at Zhou Ping'an.

The culprit of all this is this person.

"I don't know anything, Assistant Zhang, it's all your guess."

Zhou Ping'an waved his hand and denied it, and it was naturally impossible for him to admit the crime of homicide.

"Those loan sharks were all scared away by you, did they see you kill Tan that day?"

Zhou Ping'an's pupils contracted again.

In my mind, I remembered the scene when I did it that day.

When he slashed Tan's neck, a head poked out of the window.

Then, when he saw the murder, his head immediately retracted and fled in a panic.

After the murder, Zhou Ping'an was arrested, but the eyewitnesses he expected did not appear.

The only eyewitness to the Investigation Bureau was a colleague outside the kitchen.

The loan sharks who appeared that day disappeared as if there was no news.

"Those people already have a case on them, so if you're lucky, they can't have thrown themselves into the net to testify, and you got away with it."

Zhang Yi answered the doubts in Zhou Ping'an's heart.

So that's the case, don't they dare to show up, because they are also afraid of being caught.

"Since we talked about loan sharks, let's just talk about Tan, after all, you don't want to kill people for no reason, Tan has touched your interests."

Zhang Yi knew it in his heart, and guessed: "I know what kind of person you Zhou Ping'an is, you like to have a regular life, and you don't like people who break their regular life!" ”

"And one of the things Tan did wrong was to borrow a loan shark and mortgage the good taste hot pot restaurant, isn't it?"

Zhou Ping'an didn't answer, and walked by himself, but his pace was a little faster than before.

"In fact, your boss made a lot of money by relying on the good taste hot pot restaurant, but he had to invest in stocks, futures, and financial markets, and in the end he lost all his money, so he had to borrow usury, and even put his entire net worth out, this is why he made you angry, the good taste hot pot restaurant may go out of business at any time, and you don't want your life to be broken, so this angered him!"

Zhou Ping'an's pace paused slightly.

"Of course, this is just one of the reasons, in fact, this is not the first time Tan has provoked you, right?"

Zhang Yi said to himself again: "I asked the clerks, and they told me an interesting thing. You have been with Tan for 10 years, and you should have been a candidate for store manager, and even Tan planned to open a branch and let you be the store manager. ”

But what do some people say, you can share the joys and sorrows, but once you have money, people will change. Tan believed in those financial advertisements, and felt that it was too slow to open a branch store and work hard every day to make money, so he planned to invest in the financial market, and in the end he lost all his money, and the branch had to give up, and even the good taste was almost not guaranteed. ”

"This is the fundamental reason why you killed Tan, because he hindered your interests, and he didn't believe in you, didn't he?"

Zhou Ping'an's fists clenched unconsciously, and there was a faint angry fire burning in his eyes.

A conversation sounded in his head.

"Boss, why didn't you open a branch and let me be the store manager?"

"Xiao Zhou, it's not that I don't want to open it, it's just that the funds in this store are tight, and I can't open it!"

"Boss, isn't it that you blindly invested and lost money in the end, why do you want to invest the money you want to open a branch into those things on the Internet, isn't it good to open another branch?"

"I'm the boss or you're the boss, you still dare to reprimand me? Let me tell you, if it weren't for the pity of you at the beginning and the kindness to take you in as a hillbilly, you wouldn't know where to live in Qiaodong now! ”

"Boss, you ......"

"Get out, don't look at what you are, dare to come and point fingers at me!"

Although he knew that Tan Mou said these venting words because of the failure of the investment, the other party dared to scold himself for being a hillbilly and dared to say this, which is simply unforgivable.

Because he didn't believe in the other party's words, and insulted himself, Zhou Ping'an's tolerance for Tan has reached the limit.

That's why there was a day of incident, that day I wiped the other party's neck with a knife!

Thinking of this, Zhou Ping'an's face showed a hint of pleasure in revenge.

Of course, he knew that there was still a difficult problem to be solved, and that was the person behind him.

"I'm sorry, Assistant Zhang, I don't know the purpose of what you said this, but legally speaking, I have been found not guilty, so no one can sue me for murdering Tan again!"

"Yes, it is, that's why I'm here to congratulate you. I don't know if you found out before, everyone else congratulates you on your innocence and clearing your grievances, only I congratulate you on your good luck? ”

Zhou Ping'an recalled that when the judge and jury ruled that he was not guilty, Zhang Yi only congratulated himself on getting rid of the charge.

Could it be that he saw it from that time?

But so what, the other party didn't stop it at that time, but he acquiesced that he was not guilty!

Therefore, the final winner is me Zhou Ping'an!

"I guess you must have thought you won, but yes, congratulations."

"Here, a small gift for you!" Zhang Yi said, took out a black rag doll from his pocket, and threw it to Zhou Ping'an.

The latter turned around and subconsciously caught the rag doll.

"What is this?"

Looking at the ugly-looking thing in his hand, like a voodoo curse, Zhou Ping'an instinctively felt a little frightened.

"Zhou Ping'an, your death omen star is already shining in the sky!"

Zhang Yi said, suddenly raising his head and looking up.

The two of them walked near a tall building, because of the obstruction of skyscrapers, the light was a little dim.

"I don't want this thing ......"

Zhou Ping'an was about to throw the rag doll to Zhang Yi, but suddenly there was an explosion above his head.

Bang!

It was like the sound of glass being broken, and when he looked up, he saw a huge black object, infinitely magnified in his vision!

Bang!

There was another explosion, and the black object smashed into Zhou Ping'an's body, and the huge impact crushed his flesh into the ground.

Only the hand that grabbed the rag doll was not damaged, because it was not within the range of the spread.

"Sure enough, you escaped the punishment of the law, but you can't escape the punishment of God!"

Looking at Zhou Ping'an, who had been crushed into pulp, only the arm holding the rag doll was twitching, but Zhang Yi's expression was extremely indifferent.

"Zhou Ping'an, you killed someone after all, the punishment of the law is too friendly to you in my opinion, only this is really in line with your justice!"

"So, farewell, murderer Zhou Ping'an!"

Picking up the rag doll from Zhou Ping'an's hand, Zhang Yi glanced at it, and smiled at the corner of his mouth.

"This is justice!"
