Chapter 4 Sympathy
That was the first time she saw a picture of a dead person. Although it was just a picture, it made her so uncomfortable that she couldn't eat for two whole days.She couldn't connect this young girl with a gentle smile with that bloody, broken and cold corpse.

"What? Are you scared?"

"Look at this picture again. That bastard cut off her entire head. It's...it's this small knife. How long will it take to slowly cut open the neck with such a small knife... .And even then you're going to defend him?"

The policewoman who received them was very emotional. She pointed to the photos in the file and questioned them.

Ji Si'an was silent, as she had been silent for most of her short life.

"I understand your feelings. But this is our job, and the defendant's rights also need to be protected." Lawyer He said calmly.

"The rights and interests of the defendant, he is not even counted as a person, and he deserves rights." The policewoman who received them was about the same age as Ji Si'an, with great resentment on her childish face.

"You only think about hypocritical fairness, who will think about that poor victim? How innocent is that woman! She worked hard all day, and worked hard to support such a soft rice man for so many years. Killed. What did she do wrong?"

Ji Si'an was completely taken aback by the policewoman's aura, she looked at her little face flushed with anger, and didn't know how to explain.

Lawyer He didn't seem to have expected to encounter such trouble. He was hesitating whether to contact the policewoman's superior.A male police officer came out from behind, "Yuan Mu, calm down. He is just working normally."

The policewoman named Yuan Mu stomped her feet and turned to leave. Before she disappeared from their sight, she grabbed the police cap off her head fiercely, and her messy short hair bounced up and down with her steps.

Ji Si'an looked at this file extremely depressed.The murdered girl was only 25 years old, but she worked two jobs for many years, one as a waiter from 7:17 am to 20:2 pm, and the other as a nightclub from [-]:[-] pm to [-]:[-] am....She worked so desperately just to support that soft rice man.What is she trying to do, this silly girl, what is she trying to do?
Ji Si'an couldn't bear to read the autopsy report. From the bruises on her skin, she had already guessed that this poor girl had suffered from domestic violence during her lifetime...

After knowing all this, Ji Si'an couldn't face the defendant with a normal heart.Every time she sees his smiling face, she has the urge to rush forward and tear off that gentle mask.

The conflict broke out on the evening of the day they met with the client. The scumbag said that the reason why he killed his girlfriend was because she cheated on her and that she broke up with him because she had another man...And Lawyer He thinks this is a defense point....

He wanted to magnify the emotional conflict between the two of them, and then prove that he killed because of emotional passion. Coupled with the plot of surrendering himself, there is a high chance of giving the defendant a reprieve.

Ji Si'an objected to this approach. The girl was already dead, she was tortured during her lifetime, and she would be speculated maliciously after death... She could not accept this.For this reason, she, who has always been silent and low-key, 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 kept herself clean. She would rather endure poverty than keep the bottom line. How can we... how can we destroy her innocence after her life is taken away from such a good woman."

Ji Si'an didn't know what happened to her at that time, those rationality and self-control as a legal worker were all gone, and there was only that dilapidated girl in front of her eyes.

She couldn't remember what lawyer He had said to her, and she didn't want to hear the bullshit about the client's rights.

"If you are so emotional, I advise you not to do this job as soon as possible. You are not suitable to be a lawyer." After finishing speaking, Lawyer He persuaded: "There is nothing unacceptable. Death is like a lamp going out, she It's gone, I won't feel anything."

"If she were your daughter, would you still defend that scumbag like this?" Ji Si'an's last words hurt Lawyer He deeply.

She didn't know that she had such a sharp side.The rest of the matter became blank in her mind, and when she reacted again, Luo Li had already pulled her out...She didn't know when tears were streaming down her face, it was the first time she shed tears in so many years, she was crying like a wronged child in Luo Li's arms.Luo Li didn't know, so she tried her best to comfort her.

In fact, Ji Si'an also understands that Lawyer He is only acting in accordance with professional methods. They are lawyers and need to win the lawsuit to make a living, but she just can't accept it.Since then, Lawyer He has never approached her again, and she doesn't know how to break the ice of this rigid relationship...

When the subway arrived at the station, it was already 10:40 in the night, a full hour and 10 minutes. This is why she likes the subway. The time is always guaranteed, allowing her to catch the last bus calmly.

Ji Si'an looked at the wasteland outside the subway station, the dim lights were carefully turned on in the boundless night, and she felt that the light was always a little precarious, 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 self-made anti-wolf spray in his hand, and mustered up the courage to walk to the distant station.

Ji Si'an took the bus for two more stops and finally arrived at the place she rented. Even when she reached the gate of the community, she did not dare to relax a bit.It is located in a remote place, and the local residents of Chenghuang have long ceased to live here.Those houses are just a tool for them to rent out to earn money, and the property has long since ceased to exist.

Even in such a place, Ji Si'an, who is in the trial period, can only rent in the semi-basement.When he came downstairs to rent, Ji Si'an looked around to confirm that no one was following him, then turned on the flashlight and went down the steps.The light in the corridor has been broken for a long time, the landlord said it was the property's business, so he shirked and refused to change it.

After finally coming to the door, Ji Si'an breathed a sigh of relief, just as she relaxed her vigilance, a man suddenly rushed out from the darkness, and he took off his pants in front of her with a playful smile...Ji Si'an was so startled that he threw the flashlight to the ground, his voice was choked in his throat but he couldn't make it out.She didn't know how to deal with the situation in front of her, she turned around and fumbled for the keys in the bag subconsciously, there was only one voice in her mind, she wanted to go home, she wanted to get in quickly, as long as she got in, she would be safe...

Seeing that Ji Si'an didn't scream, the man became bolder and hugged her from behind...The sour smell on the man's body and the scalding body temperature filled Ji Si'an's senses. She began to struggle vigorously, kicking and kicking vigorously, and finally broke free from the man's restraint.She didn't dare to stay, and ran up the stairs frantically, and ran wildly in the community for a long time before stopping at a street light.

The faint light slightly soothed Ji Si'an, she hugged the street lamp tightly, and finally let out a loud cry.After an unknown amount of time, when she calmed down a little, a red and blue police car stopped in front of her.

"Do you need help?"

Looking at the face that was as young as himself, Ji Si'an nodded vigorously as if grasping at straws.

Seeing that she was so strong, Yuan Mu was afraid that she would break his neck, so he hurriedly stopped her behavior.

"Get in the car with me first, drink some water and talk slowly."
