Chapter 4 Compassion
It was the first time she had seen a picture of a dead person, and although it was only a photograph, it made her so uncomfortable that she couldn't eat for two whole days. There was no way she could connect the young girl with her youthful and gentle smile to the bloody, cold, broken corpse.
"What? Is that scary? ”
"Look at this again, the brute has cut off her entire head. Use it well ...... Use it well ...... It's this knife. With such a small knife, how long does it take to slowly cut the neck ....... Even so, do you have to defend him? ”
The policewoman who received them was very emotional, and she pointed to the photos in the file and questioned them.
Ji Si'an was silent, as silent as she had been for most of her short life.
"I understand your feelings. But this is our job, and the rights and interests of the defendant also need to be protected. Lawyer He said calmly.
"The rights and interests of the defendant, he is not even a human being, but also has rights and interests." The policewoman who received them was about the same age as Ji Si'an, and her childish face was full of great resentment.
"You only think about hypocritical fairness, who will think about the poor victim. How innocent that woman was! She worked hard all day long, worked hard to raise such a soft rice man for so many years, and was brutally killed just because she proposed to break up. What did she do wrong again? ”
Ji Si'an was completely shocked by the policewoman's momentum, she looked at her little face flushed with anger stupidly, and didn't know how to justify.
Lawyer He didn't seem to expect such trouble, and he was hesitant to contact the policewoman's superior. A male police officer came out from behind, "Yuan Mu, calm down." People are just working normally. ”
The policewoman named Yuan Mu stomped her feet and turned to leave, and before she could disappear from their sight, she grabbed the police hat from her head fiercely, and her messy short hair jumped up and down with her steps.
Ji Si'an looked at this dossier extremely depressed. The girl was only 25 years old, but she worked two jobs, a waitress from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., and a nightclub job from 8 p.m. to 2 a.m. ....... She worked like this to support the soft rice man. What's the picture, this stupid girl, what is she doing this?
Ji Si'an couldn't bear to look at the autopsy report, and from the bruises on her skin, she had already guessed that this poor girl had suffered from domestic violence ...... her life.
After understanding all this, Ji Si'an couldn't face the defendant with a normal heart. Every time she saw his face with a light smile, she had the urge to rush up and tear off the Sven mask.
The conflict erupted on the evening of the day they met with the client, and the scumbag said that the reason why he killed his girlfriend was because she cheated on him, and she had another man, so he proposed to him to break up ....... Lawyer He believes that this is a defense point .......
He wanted to amplify the emotional conflict between the two of them, and then prove that he killed out of emotional passion, coupled with the plot of voluntary surrender, there is a high chance of reprieving the defendant's death.
Ji Si'an objected to this approach, that girl was dead, she was tortured before she died, and she couldn't accept it after her death to be so maliciously speculated ....... For this reason, she has always been silent and low-key, but she had a fierce quarrel with her boss, Lawyer He.
"Do you know how much it hurts a girl to tarnish her name?"
She ...... Although she works in a nightclub, she has always been clean and self-conscious, and would rather endure poverty than keep the bottom line. How can we be such a good woman...... How could her innocence be ruined after her life was taken away. ”
Ji Si'an didn't know what happened to her at that time, those rationalities, those self-control as a lawyer were all gone, and there was only the dilapidated and broken girl in front of her.
She didn't remember what Lawyer He told her, and she didn't want to listen to the about the rights of her clients.
"If you are so emotional, I advise you not to do it before it is too late. You are not fit to be a lawyer. After Lawyer He finished speaking, he persuaded with hatred: "What is unacceptable about this." People die like lights going out, she is gone, and she will not feel it. ”
"If she were your daughter, would you still defend that scumbag like that?" Ji Si'an's last words deeply hurt Lawyer He.
She didn't know that she had such a sharp side. The rest of the matter went blank in her mind, and when she reacted again, she had already been pulled out by Lori ....... I don't know when she burst into tears, it was the first time in so many years that she shed tears, and she cried in the arms of Luo Li like a wronged child. Luo Li didn't know why, but she tried her best to comfort her.
In fact, Ji Si'an also understands that Lawyer He is just doing it according to professional methods, they are lawyers, and they need to win the case to make a living, but she just can't accept it. Since then, Lawyer He has never approached her again, and she does not know how to break the ice of this stiff relationship.......
When the subway arrived at the station, it was already 10:40 p.m., a full hour and 20 minutes, which is why she likes the subway, the time is always guaranteed, so that she can calmly catch the last bus.
Ji Si'an looked at the wasteland outside the subway station, the dim light was carefully lit in the boundless night, and she felt that the light was always a little shaky, as if it would be blown out by the wind from nowhere at any time. Ji Si'an took a deep breath, quietly clenched the homemade anti-wolf spray in his middle hand, and mustered up the courage to walk to the distant station.
Ji Si'an took two more stops on the bus and finally came to the place she rented, even when she arrived at the gate of the community, she didn't dare to relax a little. It's a remote place, and the local residents of Chenghuang have long since ceased to live here. Those houses are just a tool for them to rent out to make money, and the property and anything are long gone.
Even in such a place, Ji Si'an, who is in the probationary period, can only rent a semi-basement. Coming to the rented downstairs, Ji Si'an looked around, and after confirming that no one was following him, he turned on the flashlight and went down the steps. The lights in the corridor have been broken for a long time, and the landlord said that it was the property's business, so he refused to change and repair it.
Finally came to the door, Ji Si'an breathed a sigh of relief, and just as she relaxed her vigilance, a man suddenly rushed out of the darkness, and he took off his pants in front of her with a smile....... Ji Si'an was so shocked that he threw the flashlight to the ground, and his voice was held in his throat but he couldn't get out. She didn't know how to deal with the situation in front of her, she subconsciously turned around and fumbled for the key in her bag, there was only one voice in her head, she wanted to go home, she wanted to hurry in the door, as long as she entered the door, she could be safe.......
Seeing that Ji Si'an didn't scream, the man became even bolder, and he hugged her from behind ....... The sour smell on the man's body and the hot body temperature filled Ji Si'an's senses, and she began to struggle vigorously, kicking hard, and finally broke free from the man's clamps. She didn't dare to stop, ran up the stairs frantically, and ran wildly around the neighborhood for a long time before stopping at a street lamp.
The faint light slightly calmed Ji Si'an, and she hugged the street lamp, and finally let out a voice and cried. I don't know how long later, when she calmed down a little, a red and blue flashing police car stopped in front of her.
"You...... Need help? ”
Ji Si'an looked at the face as young as himself, as if grasping a life-saving straw, and nodded vigorously.
Yuan Mu saw her so vigorously, for fear that she would break her neck, so he hurriedly stopped her behavior.
"Get in the car with me first, drink saliva and talk slowly."
