Mr. Huo, I will

Chapter 1 Such a boy belongs to her alone
The classroom is quiet after the hustle and bustle, the summer sun shines in through the clean floor-to-ceiling windows, and there are light beams of fine dust undulating in the air.

As soon as the moot court was over, the crowd dispersed.

Su Yu is a teaching assistant and has to stay to clear the field.

She was still wearing a robe, and her sleeves were slightly rolled up, revealing a small white and slender arm.

She turned off the computer, put away the gavel, and after sorting out the materials, she folded up the nameplate and file, checked the classroom one last time, and decided to leave after confirming that there was no problem.

As soon as she turned around, the movement of her feet stopped.

Leaning against the door of the classroom was a tall man, wearing a lawyer's robe, with deep eyebrows, prominent browbones, black eyes, unmoving eyes, a little cold.

Su Yu pursed her lips, briefly met his gaze, then looked away again, and continued to walk outside as if nothing had happened.

In just a few steps, she felt that she had walked for a long time.

The moment the two passed by, she clearly felt that his eyes were staring at her closely and unblinkingly.The blood vessels under her skin felt inexplicably hot, and the skin on her cheeks seemed to be scorched by fire, with a scalding temperature.

Huo Ran followed her into the file room.

Su Yu wanted to file files, and there was a file to be placed on the top of the shelf. She looked around, but she couldn't see the ladder, so she could only grit her teeth, stand on tiptoe, and stretch her hand, but she barely reached the top of the shelf. top.

The file in her hand was crumbling.

Someone stuck behind her, Huo Ran's voice was lazy: "I'll help you."

Su Yu's whole body was stiff, his back was tense, and the corners of his mouth were tightened.

She was a little absent-minded, and handed the file to Huo Ran, but before she could react, someone pinched her waist and lifted her up, so frightened that she almost cried out.

Now she is a head taller than the bookshelf.

Huo Ran raised his eyebrows, and his tone was a little casual: "Aren't you going to put it up?"

Su Yu's mind was a little blank, he put the file away indiscriminately, and struggled to get down.But the man's big hand on her waist became stronger, turned her around, and pressed her against the bookshelf.

The bookshelf shook a few times before returning to calm.

Huo Ran looked down at her, his pupils were black and white, calm and unwavering.

Su Yu didn't dare to look at him, his heart was hanging, and he said in a low voice: "You let me go first, okay?"

Huo Ran didn't respond.

Su Yu took a deep breath: "Huo Ran?"

The opponent didn't move.

Su Yu raised his eyes, a little uneasy, thinking: Huo Ran doesn't want to retaliate, does he?

She pursed her lips and asked earnestly, "You came to me because you thought there was something wrong with my verdict that the 'defendant' was guilty of intentional homicide?"

Huo Ran laughed inexplicably.

it is as expected.

Su Yu took it seriously, and was not angry. He explained earnestly and sincerely: "Huo Ran, the law is to maintain fairness and justice, and all criminals must accept the punishment of the law. The 'defendant' did kill someone in this case, and he is He has indeed committed a crime, no matter how many loopholes you find in the public security law and how wonderfully you defend him, I will let him be punished by law."

The man stared at her, and the faint smell of tobacco entered her nose, and she lost her mind for a moment.

He raised the corners of his mouth and said slowly: "Who told you that he did kill someone? Is it an incomplete chain of evidence in this case? Is it the police's torture? Or your God's perspective?"

Su Yu choked.

Huo Ran smiled and said: "Su Yu, you are too idealistic. This is a simulated case. Everyone knows the cause and development of the case, and the setting is that the defendant killed someone. But in practice, no one has the perspective of God. I don’t know whether the defendant really committed murder, and all judgments can only be based on the evidence provided by the prosecution and the defense.”

He paused, and continued calmly: "The law is indeed to maintain fairness and justice, but the fairness and justice of the law lie in its procedural justice. Judges do not take sides, but only maintain the dignity of the law based on evidence; power and protect the rights and interests of victims; lawyers balance the power between public power and the defendant.”

Su Yu blinked, and said without hesitation: "Yes, I just want to be a fair prosecutor in the future." Then she can always stand on the victim's side, protect their rights, and not violate morality and conscience.

Huo Ran and her looked at each other for a few seconds, looked at her clean eyes, lowered his head, couldn't help but cursed in a low voice.

The next second, he kissed her lips.She has studied law for two years, why is she still so innocent and stupid?

The cold, soft, sweet fudge-like sensation came, Su Yu's eyes widened, her skin was thin, and her ears were pink.She turned her face away, even when she was angry, she only said softly: "What are you doing?"

Her waist is still in his confinement.

Huo Ran's Adam's apple rolled slightly, he looked straight at her, and wanted to kiss her.

Su Yu was so frightened that he pushed him hard, and ran out in a panic, not even caring about the files.

Huo Ran leaned on the shelf, turned his head sideways, raised his eyebrows slightly, and stared at her leaving back. His back was straight, thin, and his soft black hair was bundled up, revealing a section of his white and thin neck. His heart itch.

Unconsciously, he suddenly laughed.

Lu Yuzhou happened to pass by the door, stood outside the door, played with the gavel in his hand, knocked on the door panel, and said in a low voice with a smile: "I saw the squad leader ran out, and you bullied her again? Is my father good or bad?" It's on the rich list, can you show some face?"

Huo Ran didn't bother to pay attention to him, lowered his eyes, and uttered a word lazily and carelessly: "Get lost."

"Ah Ran, do you like her?"

Lu Yuzhou's expression was rare and serious: "It's okay to play, don't take it seriously, the little princess and we are not on the same path." Huo Ran frowned slightly, pursed his lips, and said nothing.

Seven years later.

The night is silent, but the boxes are full of feasting lights, dim light, noisy voices, some singing, some playing dice, and the rest are talking.

"Lawyers are not easy to mix, and criminal lawyers are even more miserable."

"In such a cold day, I waited in line yesterday morning before the detention center let me see the client."

"The court was held yesterday. Before I could say anything, the judge warned me not to give him law lessons, or I would leave the court."

"I'll just do the criminal prosecution. The criminal prosecution costs less money and more things, and I have to be scolded."

Someone laughed: "Where's Huo Ran? Didn't he just accept a big star wife's divorce case of cheating on her and transferring property the day before yesterday?"

Huo Ran was wearing a black sweater, sitting on the sofa beside him, as if he hadn't heard anything, his eyelashes drooped, and his slender fingers casually swiped Weibo until he saw a gossip——

Henglong Group intends to marry Chen Group.

He locked the screen with a cold expression, and threw the phone on the sofa, looking a little irritable.He leaned over, picked up the cigarette case on the table, took out a cigarette, and bit it on his lip.

The lighter flame came on, flashed for a moment, then went out again.

He exhaled white smoke, blurring his vision.

Lu Yuzhou knew why Huo Ran was upset, but someone still talked about it.

"Henglong and the Chen family are planning to marry? I heard that the daughter of the Henglong Group used to belong to the procuratorate, but after something happened, she returned to Henglong to work as a legal counsel."

Some people didn't believe it: "If you read down a piece of news, you can still see the news that Miss Su denies her engagement and expresses her stance of being single."

Some people sighed: "The procuratorate's bowl of food is not good. If I were Miss Su, I would have returned to work in my company."

Lu Yuzhou glanced at Huo Ran with an uneasy expression, and quickly changed the subject: "Masters, can you stop gossiping like this?"

other people:"……"

Lu Yuzhou leisurely logged into the game, raised his chin at Huo Ran, and asked, "Ah Ran, are you playing games?"

Huo Ran said calmly: "No."

He stood up, stubbed out the cigarette butt, grabbed the coat hanging on the back of the sofa, pressed his lips tightly, and walked away.

Lu Yuzhou's voice explaining to him came from afar: "The court will be held tomorrow, and he has to go back and prepare."

Huo Ran opened the door and sat in the driver's seat.

His profound silhouette was shrouded in the light, his jaw was slightly tensed, revealing a trace of irony, but his eyes became deeper and firmer, as if he had made a decision.

The night was a little dim, and the dark clouds overwhelmed the city, which had already swallowed up the faint moonlight.Su Yu was on the phone with Lin Xianyu before going to bed. A case in Lin Xianyu's hands was in the final stage. He was so busy some time ago that he didn't even touch the ground. Today, he had time to catch his breath and chat with Su Yu.

Lin Xianyu hesitated, and said, "By the way, I saw Huo Ran in the courthouse yesterday."

Su Yu was slightly taken aback, not knowing what he thought of, and there was a slight wave in his eyes.In fact, this is not the first time that Lin Xianyu has mentioned Huo Ran, and since Huo Ran returned from his studies and entered the legal circle in City B, it is difficult for Su Yu to avoid news about him.

Lin Xianyu continued: "I didn't expect him to greet me on his own initiative."

"is it?"

"However, my colleagues were gossiping about you and Chen Yanze at that time."

Su Yu smiled: "Is it about the engagement?"

"Yes, does Uncle Su still want you to get married?"

Su Yu paused, his thick eyelashes drooped slightly, and said softly: "I don't know, but Ayu, you know, the so-called engagement between Yan Ze and I was actually just my father's casual remark, and Yan Ze and I It is also very clear that there is no way between us, he only treats me as a younger sister..."

Before she finished speaking, Lin Xianyu laughed and teased: "Yes, yes, Chen Yan has his goddess of white moonlight. You have your own ideas. Engagement does not exist, and marriage is impossible. The outside reports are all rumor."

Su Yu smiled.After she hung up the phone, she lay on the bed, but her thoughts were a little messy.She pursed her lips and closed her eyes, thinking of the picture of her father forcing her to break up for a while, thinking of her and Chen Yanze pretending to agree to get married for a while, and thinking of Huo Ran's resolute back.She was half asleep and half awake, and her sleepiness was light and sometimes deep, so she did not sleep peacefully.

As the night deepened, mist filled the city shrouded in night, silver-white lightning tore through the dark sky, and it rained suddenly.The bean-sized raindrops kept hitting the glass windows in a hurry and fiercely, and the strong wind blew past, like wild animals roaring.

In the silent house, a harsh doorbell suddenly rang.

Su Yu opened his eyes, frowned slightly, got up and turned on the light, the doorbell was still ringing.She glanced at the alarm clock beside the bed - at [-]:[-] in the morning, at this time, who would knock on the door?

She pursed her lips and looked out of the cat's eyes, her heart was shocked.

The next second, she opened the door.

The young man was completely soaked, his clothes were wrinkled, his eyes were red, and his cheeks were red from the cold.He gritted his teeth tightly, restraining himself from trembling.

Su Yu looked down, his right hand was dripping blood continuously.

Su Yu's heart contracted suddenly, and he quickly pulled Su Cheng into the apartment, and turned to get the medicine box: "What happened? How did you get hurt? It's so late, why aren't you at school?"

Su Cheng's face was pale, his teeth were chattering constantly: "Sister, she's dead, she died in my apartment."

Su Yu turned his head abruptly.

There was another blinding flash of lightning outside the window, illuminating Su Cheng's face, his dark eyes were filled with fear, and his face was pale.

"News from our station: Su Sheng, the son of Su Zhiguo, the president of Henglong Group, was arrested on suspicion of intentional homicide. The police found marijuana in his residence. As a result, Henglong Group's stock price plummeted and hundreds of millions were evaporated out of thin air. It is reported that Su Sheng studied at B University. The deceased was a classmate who had admired him for a long time, and was killed for discovering the fact that Su Sheng smoked marijuana."

The front of the Henglong headquarters building was surrounded by reporters, and the crowds were full of "long guns and short cannons".

"Mr. Su, Mr. Su, do you know that your son takes drugs?"

"Mr. Su, your son is talented. He hangs out in nightclubs, gambles, takes drugs, and murders intentionally. Does this style have anything to do with your education?"

"President Su, what do you think about your son's intentional murder and drug use that caused the stock price of Henglong to plummet?"

Su Zhiguo had a serious face, pursed his lips, and tensed his cheeks, and did not answer any questions.Under the protection of bodyguards, he sat in the extended car, isolating the noise from the outside world.

He clenched his fists tightly, the veins in his hands popped out, and with a violent wave of his hand, he swept everything on the table to the ground.

"This bastard! Where's Su Yu? Let her deal with this bastard for me right away! It really embarrasses me!"

Snow covered the top of the mountain not far away, and the thin snow covered the winding mountain road. An ancient courtyard house stood on the mountainside, and vines covered the outer wall.

Su Yu's car was parked at the door, and when she got out of the car, she was greeted by a cold and fresh breath.She pulled out a small suitcase from the trunk and rang the doorbell.

Soon an aunt came to open the door, Su Yu smiled politely, nodded, and walked in hastily.

This is a classical Chinese-style room, with mahogany furniture of the Ming and Qing dynasties. Most of the bookcases are codes, and there are also blue and white porcelain dots. There is a picture on the wall, which is "Fa" written in cursive.

There was a birdcage hanging by the window, and a beautiful parrot fluttered in the cage. It was covered with pure and clean white feathers, except for the golden crested crest feathers on top of its head.

Mr. Xi was facing Su Yu with his back, teasing the parrot leisurely.Hearing the voice, he turned around and said kindly, "Sit down and drink tea."

Su Yu sat down and cut straight to the point: "Mr. Xi, I take the liberty to come to visit..."

However, before she could finish her sentence, Elder Xi took over: "I've heard about your brother's matter, but I'm getting old and I haven't litigated for a long time. Even if I come out now, I may not win it." young people."

Elder Xi stared at Su Yu, took a sip of tea, smiled, and said, "But I can recommend someone to take this case."

Su Yu was startled slightly, his heart beat faster suddenly, and a blurry figure appeared in his mind inexplicably.

At this time, Old Xi looked behind Su Yu with kind eyes.Su Yu followed his gaze and turned his head, stunned.

A person came in at the door. This person was wearing a black suit, with slender legs, a tall figure, and a well-cut suit.

He was too tall, almost blocking the light outside the door, so that people couldn't see the expression on his face clearly, only his cold and hard jawline could be seen under the black shadow.

Even if there is only one silhouette, Su Yu can recognize him at a glance - Huo Ran.

Her fingers curled up slightly, and then tightly curled together with her soft heart.Her mind went blank for a moment, and she couldn't think of anything.

Old Xi said in a gentle voice: "Ah Ran is here, did you just go to court? How is the case in hand?"

Huo Ran replied to Old Xi: "Well, the case is over."

Then, he glanced at Su Yu slowly, as if he didn't know her, and asked calmly, "Teacher, is this the new assistant you found for me?"

Su Yu pursed her lips tightly, her eyelashes trembling slightly.

Xi Lao smiled, and said meaningfully: "If she is willing. However, she is your client this time, a case requiring a plea of ​​not guilty."

Huo Ran smiled, unhurriedly, with a clear voice: "It's okay to defend, but I still need an assistant."

Su Yu closed her eyes, and in the next second, she unconsciously retracted the hand placed by her side, and then suddenly raised her eyes to look at Huo Ran.

He was talking with Mr. Xi without looking sideways, with an indifferent and calm expression, but at the moment when he was seated, he hooked her palm with his fingertips.

She heard their ensuing conversation in fits and starts.

She knew that Huo Ran was outstanding when she was in college, and she is still the same now.

Huo Ran, a young criminal defense lawyer, studied under Xi Qihua, a master in criminal law, and is famous for his innocence defense.

After Huo Ran came out from Mr. Xi's place, he went straight back to the law firm.

Lu Yuzhou pushed open the door of his office, threw a few resumes on his desk, and said, "The Lawyers Association sent a few interns. I have already brought several of them. I really don't want to bring any more. You choose one Well, not only help me solve the trouble, but also let the intern be your assistant first."

Huo Ran didn't even look at the resume: "I found a legal assistant."

Lu Yuzhou raised his eyebrows, took a sip of coffee, a little unbelievable that the picky Huo Ran could find a suitable assistant so quickly: "Who?"

"Su Yu."

Lu Yuzhou choked on a mouthful of coffee, coughed a few times, and asked again: "Who?"

"Su Yu."

Huo Ran was in a good mood, so it was rare to repeat it patiently, and said again: "By the way, this is Su Yu's professional qualification certificate. You can help me apply for an internship certificate from the Lawyers Association. Hurry up, and I need it tomorrow morning."

Lu Yuzhou suddenly had a strange feeling in his heart: "You won't fall in love with the little princess again, right?"

Huo Ran was silent for a few seconds after listening, then laughed and said casually: "Maybe."

Lu Yuzhou gasped, with a complex expression on his face, wishing he could rush up and shake Huo Ran awake: "Ah? Isn't the little princess going to get married? Wake up quickly! You will be criticized by the society and condemned by your conscience!"

The next day, Su Yu got up very early, and Huo Ran made an appointment with her at the south gate of the university where Su Sheng was studying at 07:30.

Su Yu got out of the car and didn't see Huo Ran. She took out her mobile phone, saw the word "Huo Ran" entered in the address book just yesterday, and called him, but it turned out that the person on the other side was either on the phone or turned off.

After Su Yu made five or six phone calls, he suddenly understood.

Her phone number has not been changed since she was in college, so, a few years ago, Huo Ran blocked her number after breaking up, and she hasn't released it until now.

Su Yu took a deep breath, smiled and walked towards the security guard at the door: "Hello, can you lend me your mobile phone to make a call?"

This time the phone was connected, and Su Yu said: "Lawyer Huo, hello, I'm Su Yu, and I'm already at the south gate."

The person on the other end of the phone was silent for a few seconds before a cold voice sounded: "Turn around."

Su Yu turned around, Huo Ran walked towards her wearing a neat suit, holding a big bag of breakfast in his hand, looking at her with a cold face.

He motioned for her to follow, and said, "Park your car on campus first, and bring the materials up." He got into the car straight away without caring about her.

Su Yu returned the mobile phone to the security guard and dragged the heavy suitcase.

Just as the security guard was about to help, he saw Su Yu with white and slender arms putting a heavy suitcase into the trunk with one hand.

security guard:"……"

The faint smile that appeared in Huo Ran's eyes was fleeting.

The car drove to the detention center.The detention center was set up on the outskirts of the city, and the scenery outside the window was getting more and more bleak. The thin snow made the scenery outside the window look like the loneliness of northern winter.

Huo Ran handed the breakfast to Su Yu: "The assistant's breakfast."

Su Yu was taken aback for a moment, and just about to refuse, he heard a faint growl from his stomach.She pursed her lips and took the breakfast.

Simple soy milk and deep-fried dough sticks, before she asked, Huo Ran said impatiently: "I have eaten."

"Oh."

B City No. [-] Detention Center.

Huo Ran was registering. The guard glanced at Su Yu, knowing that she was the family member of the suspect, and refused: "You wait outside, you can't go in."

Huo Ran didn't raise his head, and said calmly, "This is my trainee lawyer." He took out a dark blue trainee lawyer's certificate from his ID and handed it to the guard for inspection.

The guard flipped through the trainee lawyer's certificate and quickly completed the registration.Su Yu reached out to take his internship certificate, but Huo Ran naturally put away both of their certificates, he frowned coldly, and said to her: "Let's go."

The two turned a corner along the long corridor and walked into the meeting room.

The hanging lights in the meeting room were a bit dazzling.Su Sheng was escorted in by the police. The police closed the iron gate. Su Sheng sat opposite Su Yu with handcuffs on his hands.

After being detained for so many days, his face was pale and tired. When he saw Su Yu, his eyes were red: "Sister, it wasn't me, I didn't kill anyone."

Su Yu pursed her thin lips, her nose was a little sour.

Su Cheng repeated: "Sister, I didn't kill her..."

Su Yu restrained his emotions: "Your fingerprints were on the murder weapon, and there were bloodstains left by you at the scene. She died in the house you rented, and witnesses saw you running out of the house after the crime. Later, the police Marijuana was found in your house again, and the deceased was still a classmate who had admired you for a long time and lived across from you, how can you make me believe you?"

For so many days, Su Yu has been restraining his emotions, looking for help everywhere, obtaining information, and dealing with the media, but at the moment he saw Su Sheng, he collapsed.

"Are you taking drugs? You hang out with those 'rich second generations', I don't care about you, I thought you had a bottom line, but you let me down so much! Because Xie Suixing broke you for taking drugs, so you killed her?"

Su Sheng's pupils shrank suddenly, and he shook his head in denial: "Sister, I haven't taken drugs."

"You're not on drugs?"

"Su Yu." Huo Ran frowned, and pressed Su Yu's shoulder from behind, "Calm down, don't put pressure on him."

Su Yu restrained the trembling of his body, clenched his fingers and lips tightly, looked away, and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand.

Huo Ran stood up, propped his slender and powerful hands on the table, looked down at Su Sheng through the thick glass, his gaze was cold, with a faint sense of oppression.

"Su Sheng, I'm your defense lawyer Huo Ran."

"Now the only people you can trust are me and your sister. If you still refuse to confess anything, the prosecution will soon charge you with intentional homicide, and you don't have any conditions to reduce your sentence. The sentence starts from ten years. , or even stand up to death." His black eyes were deep, and his tone was calm, "The only thing you can do now is to tell us the truth."

He said not to put pressure on Su Cheng, but released a heavy air pressure.

"Are you taking drugs?"

Su Sheng: "..."

"Where did the marijuana come from?"

Su Cheng was silent for several seconds, closed his eyes, and did not speak.

"Your shelter is a drug addict? Is it a classmate?" Huo Ran slowed down his questioning, "A friend? Or a teacher?"

Su Sheng still didn't say anything.

Huo Ran continued to ask: "Did you kill the person?"

This time Su Sheng said: "No."

Huo Ran stared at him closely: "In the transcript, you said that you went out at twelve o'clock that night and didn't come back until midnight the next day at 01:30. When you came back, you found that the person was dead. So, at twelve o'clock that night , where have you been? Who have you seen? Are there any witnesses?"

Huo Ran's questions were thrown out one after another.

Su Cheng moved his lips, but finally said nothing.Covering his face with his slender hands, he lowered his head, avoiding Huo Ran's sight, and clenched his teeth.

Huo Ran: "Are you protecting someone?"

Su Cheng's Adam's apple rolled, he was silent for a while, and then said: "No, I was alone that night, I didn't see anyone, I didn't have any witnesses."

Huo Ran straightened his body and raised his voice slightly: "Su Cheng, in this situation, the most stupid thing to do is to lie to your lawyer!"

Su Cheng's lips turned pale: "All I can tell you is that I didn't kill anyone. I really went out at twelve o'clock that night, and I don't know anything else, really."

During the short meeting time, Su Sheng didn't tell them anything, but Su Sheng's mood became worse and worse.

Before leaving, Su Yu had already calmed down, she looked at Su Sheng quietly, her fingers tightened a little bit.After a long time, she only said: "My sister believes in you, Ah Cheng, you will be fine, and I will rescue you."

Su Cheng buried his head in his hands, and there was a suppressed and helpless sob: "Sister..."

Su Yu closed his eyes, his eyelashes trembling slightly.

The two returned to the law firm.

Lu Yuzhou was receiving a client, and he was taking a divorce case.

The rich woman wanted to get rid of her incumbent, but she also wanted less than a dime for the incumbent. She gritted her teeth and said, "He cheated, don't give me a dime for this little boy! I saw a woman who had a bad relationship with him. normal."

Lu Yuzhou drank his coffee and asked, "What is abnormal? Specifically?"

The rich woman sneered, and suddenly approached Lu Yuzhou.With great strength in her hand, she first grabbed Lu Yuzhou's coffee cup and put it on the table, then grabbed his hand and put it on her waist, the movement was smooth, and the next second, she leaned on his shoulder and moved closer to him face, and breathed: "Lawyer Lu, that's how abnormal it is."

As soon as she exerted herself, she threw Lu Yuzhou onto the sofa.

Lu Yuzhou opened his eyes wide. Before he could react, Huo Ran and Su Yu pushed open the door of the office.

Huo Ran raised his eyebrows, with a cold expression, and said calmly: "Su Yu, call and report to the Lawyers Association that lawyer Lu Yuzhou has an improper relationship with a female client, and has misbehaved."

Lu Yuzhou: "..."

In his heart, he scolded this rich woman who made a living from a construction site and was so strong that she could split bricks with her bare hands, but she couldn't help showing a polite smile on her handsome face.

He raised his hands, not daring to touch the rich woman's body: "Ms. Zhao, I already know about your husband's relationship with other women, you can get up now."

The rich woman smiled, looked at Lu Yuzhou ambiguously, and when she got up, she took the opportunity to touch his chest muscles.

Lu Yuzhou: "..."

After the rich woman left, Lu Yuzhou slumped on the sofa, as if he had lost his virginity, and suddenly yelled: "I'm dirty!" Then he rushed into the toilet and started washing his hands frantically.

Huo Ran: "..."

Su Yu wanted to laugh a little, the scene in front of her dissipated the stagnation in her chest.When she saw Lu Yuzhou, she suddenly felt that she really saw Huo Ran again, and she was still so close to him.

Huo Ran's desk was stacked with messy documents, he said to Su Yu: "You help me tidy up the desk today." And he sat down on the sofa next to him and began to read Su Sheng's files.

Su Yu began to tidy up the table, and after a while, Huo Ran said, "Give me a pen."

Su Yu took a black water-based pen from the pen holder, and suddenly saw a slightly special pen in the pen holder.

This pen looks a bit old, with a pure pink shell, a white fur ball on the cap, and a hanging tag at the end of the fur ball.

Su Yu didn't need to look to know that there was her initials on the sign.This pen was specially designed for her by the designer of this brand, and it was her favorite pen in college.

In her freshman year, Huo Ran robbed her of a pen.

At that time, she was seriously arranging her class notes when Huo Ran suddenly walked over from behind, took her water glass, and helped her fetch water along the way.When he came back, he sat in front of her and took away the pen she was taking notes.

With one hand resting on his chin, he turned the pen he had snatched from Su Yu with the other hand, and asked, "Why is your pen so girly?"

Su Yu frowned, and reached out to grab the pen.

She was in a hurry to finish writing, but Huo Ran stood up and looked at her condescendingly.His pupils were black and bright, and he smiled casually: "No."

Su Yu was anxious: "What are you doing! Give me back the pen!"

Huo Ran lowered his head, approached her, raised his pen while still smiling: "Then call me brother."

Su Yu blushed, his black and white eyes were full of shame and anger.She struggled for a long time, but in the end she was still reluctant to write. She gritted her teeth and called out stiffly, "Brother."

The smile in Huo Ran's eyes deepened, and he responded hoarsely: "My dear sister."

Su Yu blushed, and stammered to argue: "Brother...Godzilla, I'm talking about Godzilla, not brother."

Huo Ran was so amused that he laughed out loud, and then he not only took the pen away shamelessly, but also rubbed Su Yu's hair vigorously.

What Su Yu didn't expect was that he had kept that pen for so many years, from freshman year to now.

Huo Ran urged him again patiently.

Su Yucai reacted from the daze, and handed him the water-based pen.She looked at his soft black hair and long feather-like eyelashes, obviously indifferent, but she really wanted to touch his head.

The two have been immersed in doing their own things.At noon, the front desk of the law firm came to ask them what they wanted to order for lunch.

Huo Ran was checking the information with his head down, as if he didn't hear anything, or maybe he didn't want to pay attention.Su Yu looked at the takeaway menu and ordered a casserole of shrimp and crab porridge for him.

The lady at the front desk was a little surprised. Seeing that Lawyer Huo didn't object, her expression changed from a little surprised to shocked. She couldn't help but looked Su Yu up and down with delicate eyes, and then quickly returned to the front desk.

"Is Lawyer Huo chasing after the new trainee lawyer? Not only did he bring her in person, but he also let her order porridge that he didn't like. Didn't he always like to eat pasta?"

Because casserole porridge is for four people, so Lu Yuzhou also came over. Like Su Yu, he likes porridge.

Huo Ran didn't seem to have any hobbies, but Su Yu remembered that when they were together, she often drank porridge, and Huo Ran would finish it every time.

After lunch, Su Yu simply cleared the table.

Standing in front of the big whiteboard, Huo Ran asked Su Yu to read out what Su Cheng had recorded for the first time, while he himself wrote on the whiteboard with a black oil pen.

"Around twelve o'clock, I went out for something, and I didn't return to the rental house until 01:30 in the middle of the night. At that time, there was a heavy rain, the apartment was old, and the power was cut off. When I walked in, I didn't see anything, but I heard There was a strong smell of blood, and I stepped on something on my feet. I turned on the flashlight of my mobile phone and found that it was a fruit knife. After I picked up the knife, I saw a woman lying on the floor covered in blood... I am too I was scared, so I threw away the things in my hand, and then ran to my sister..."

Huo Ran heard this, and asked Su Yu: "Did Su Cheng look for you? When you were about to report the crime, the police came to your door?"

"Yes."

Huo Ran: "Su Sheng's apartment has no signs of forced entry, and there is no sign of other people in the room, and he has no alibi. What about surveillance and driving records?"

Su Yu turned a page back, and said softly: "There is no surveillance in this old apartment. Ah Sheng is usually used to driving out, and it rained heavily on the night of the crime. If he went out, he should be able to drive, but there is no driving record during that time period." He either never went out, or didn't drive, walked in the heavy rain, or someone came to pick him up. I asked people to investigate the bars, hotels and clubs he would usually go to, and asked his friends, and they all said that that day I didn't see him that night."

There was a murder weapon, fingerprints on the murder weapon, sufficient time to commit the crime, no alibi, witnesses saw him leave the scene after the victim's death, and drugs were found in the room.The procuratorate quickly concluded the review and filed a public prosecution against Su Sheng for the crime of intentional homicide.

On the day of the pre-trial meeting, major media outlets from City B gathered in front of the court, and there were countless onlookers. Huo Ran insisted on defending Su Sheng's innocence, which almost angered the public.

He refused to give any answer, and protected Su Yu into the car.

When the two returned to the law firm, the local news was playing on the big screen in the law firm.

"Today, the court held a pre-trial conference on the case of Henglong Group's prince Su Sheng's intentional homicide, and his defense lawyer Huo Ran insisted on defending his innocence. It is reported that Su Sheng has a lot of criminal records, is keen on gambling and drug use, and has a chaotic relationship between men and women."

What flashed on the screen was Huo Ran's indifferent expression, he pursed his thin lips, and his eyes were cold.In the next second, the camera switched to a picture of Xie Suixing's mother crying.

Reporter: "You mean that Miss Su family gave you money? They want to beg your forgiveness?"

Xie Suixing's mother just shook her head, her eyes were red, and she broke down, "I won't accept their money, I want the murderer to pay for his life! My Xing Xing is so obedient, so he just left. How can I live alone. "

Su Yu bit her lower lip and explained softly: "I gave her money, but I didn't mean to bribe her, I just didn't want her to live too hard by herself."

Huo Ran stared at the screen with a faint sarcastic smile on his lips.

This is what the media is good at. When the facts of the case are not yet clear, the case is sentenced before trial, and by the way, it guides the innocent people to conduct a moral trial on the suspect.

Lu Yuzhou checked the Weibo comments by the way. The Weibo account operated by the law firm has already fallen, and there are almost curses on the Weibo.

Huo Ran didn't read the comments.

The latest evidence from the prosecution is that one hour before Xie Suixing's death, she sent a text message to Su Sheng. She said she couldn't sleep and wanted to find him.The prosecution speculated that she then went to his apartment.

Judging from the current evidence, Su Sheng did not contact anyone other than Xie Suixing that night.

Su Yu suddenly remembered something: "In addition to the text messages, WeChat and QQ that the police investigated, there is also Weibo. Su Sheng also plays Weibo."

Huo Ran raised his eyebrows.

Su Yu knew Su Sheng's account number, tried the password a few times, and logged in.Su Sheng's private messages are empty, and there are many people who follow him, and there is no useful information in the circle of friends.

Huo Ran came around from behind her, his bony fingers covered the back of her hand, controlling the mouse.

Su Yu was too close to him, his body was covered with his clear breath, and above his head was his warm breath, the itchy feeling ran from the tip of her hair to her back, making her whole body stiff.

She wanted to withdraw her hand reflexively.

Huo Ran frowned, his tone was indifferent, but his eyes looked at the black hair on the top of her head: "Don't move."

He clicked on the quietly watch list.

Sure enough, Su Sheng followed an account. To be precise, it was a small account with only two or three fans, or a zombie account, and only a few Weibo posts.

The latest Weibo post was posted at twelve o'clock in the evening on the day of the accident.

"He drove me to the brink of a nervous breakdown, and I had only one chance to die. But I am happy now, but the debt to him will never be repaid."

Su Yu wondered, would Su Sheng run out in the middle of the night after seeing the news that someone was about to commit suicide?
Huo Ran made a phone call: "Check a Weibo account for me."

After he hung up the phone, he told another intern: "Go to the business hall and print out all the text messages and call records of Su Sheng in the week before the incident."

Huo Ran found Su Sheng's WeChat conversation records provided by the police, and found that on the morning of the incident, a person named "Yaoyao" in the WeChat note had a conversation with Su Sheng.Judging from the content of the conversation, this Yaoyao finally came to Su Sheng's apartment.

Huo Ran narrowed his eyes: "Su Sheng has a girlfriend? This Yaoyao?"

Su Yu shook his head: "No."

Lu Yuzhou came over to glance at the screen, and gave a thumbs up solemnly: "Wonderful and wonderful, Mr. Huo is careful! He even knows how to pay attention quietly." As he spoke, he said with a "hehe" smirk, "As expected of The voyeur who secretly followed the little princess for five years."

Huo Ran smiled, glanced at Lu Yuzhou, neither admitted nor refuted.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, Huo Ran and Su Yu went to Su Sheng's university.Su Sheng's rented apartment is in the family courtyard assigned by the school. Apart from the students, the teachers live there.

Su Yu had long eyelashes hanging down, his face was very thin, and he looked a bit sleepy.Why did Su Sheng secretly follow a Chinese teacher's Weibo account?
She originally thought that the person being followed was Su Sheng's crush, but the teacher's profile showed that the marital status was married.The teacher's name is Wen Yao.

Su Yu asked softly: "Do you think she is the one who went to Ah Cheng's apartment with the name Yaoyao in the note on WeChat?"

Huo Ran didn't look sideways, and said lightly: "I don't know, but I will know later."

Wen Yao lives on the fifth floor, her apartment building is only one building away from Su Sheng's.Su Yu stepped forward and rang the doorbell.The sound of someone's footsteps inside stopped behind the door, and after a while, no one opened the door.

Su Yu was about to knock again, but Huo Ran stopped her and dragged her downstairs.

Su Yu looked puzzled.

Huo Ran took out a piece of paper and handed it to her. On it was Wen Yao's class schedule. Wen Yao had class at [-]:[-] in the afternoon.

Huo Ran's short hair was pitch-black, but his eyes were darker than his hair. He said lightly, "Wen Yao should have seen us, but she was also prepared, so she didn't open the door. Let's go downstairs and wait until class starts." She will always show up when the time comes."

Sure enough, at ten past three o'clock, Wen Yao walked out of the gate of the family courtyard with a computer bag, and was stopped by Su Yu and Huo Ran.

Su Yu showed a polite smile: "Mr. Wen, can I take you 10 minutes?"

Wen Yao's expression didn't change, his eyes were moving, showing a touch of charm and bookishness, but the makeup on his face seemed a bit heavy, and his whole body was too thin.

She looked up at Su Yu and Huo Ran, and asked calmly, "Lawyer? Is there a letter of introduction for investigation?"

Before Su Yu answered, she smiled faintly: "If not, I don't need to cooperate. Sorry, I still have to go to class."

Huo Ran asked directly: "Mr. Wen, did you go to Su Sheng's apartment the morning of Su Sheng's accident?" Huo Ran directly took out the WeChat chat record printout.

Wen Yao hooked the corner of his mouth and looked away: "No, I have never sent such a message. What's more, there are only chat records with WeChat names, and anyone can forge them."

Huo Ran took out his mobile phone and handed it to Wen Yao. The screen displayed Wen Yao's small Weibo account interface, and the first thing he saw was the latest Weibo that was suspected of committing suicide.

Wen Yao was very calm, raised his eyelids: "What do you mean?"

"This is your Weibo account."

"No."

Huo Ran looked at her quietly: "Su Sheng followed this account."

Wen Yao's eyebrows twitched, and she subconsciously denied: "Impossible." As soon as the words fell, Wen Yao knew she was in trouble.

Su Yu said: "Are you the owner of this account? You know that this account doesn't have many fans, so you can say categorically that it is impossible for Su Sheng to follow this account. However, Ah Sheng followed you quietly."

The person who was quietly followed would not know that she was followed.

Wen Yao exhaled softly: "The account is mine, what's the problem? Su Sheng is a student of my public elective course this semester."

"Did Su Sheng go looking for you that night?"

Wen Yao thought it was funny, and raised his eyebrows: "At night? What do I do with a male student at night?"

Su Yu pursed his lips: "Su Cheng went out that night, but he refused to say where he went. If Mr. Wen knew..."

"I do not know."

Huo Ran looked at the faint bruise on Wen Yao's forehead, and suddenly asked: "Teacher Wen and her husband have a bad relationship?"

Wen Yao: "Not good, not bad, just like most couples in this city, it is inevitable that there will be times of quarrel."

Su Yu: "Teacher Wen said on Weibo that he died..."

"One death?" Wen Yao smiled, "That sentence was taken from Haizi's suicide note. I am a teacher of the Chinese Department, and I have the habit of copying it. Isn't it strange?"

Huo Ran suddenly asked a strange question: "Mr. Wen is very good at cutting rabbit apples?"

"Is this important?" Wen Yao's patience seemed to be exhausted, she glanced at her watch, "Sorry, I have to go to class."

Su Yu said anxiously: "Mr. Wen, Su Sheng is in custody now, and will go to court in a few days. If he doesn't have an alibi, he will have to pay a terrible price for something he never did. If you know anything... ..."

"I don't know anything." Wen Yao interrupted her expressionlessly, turned around and left.

Su Yu just wanted to catch up, but Huo Ran grabbed her hand, and she followed Huo Ran's gaze.

Standing not far away was a man in a suit and leather shoes, handsome and fair-skinned, with a gentle demeanor. When he saw Wen Yao, he walked over.Not knowing what the two of them said, the man glanced at Huo Ran, nodded with a gentle smile, then put his arms around Wen Yao's shoulders, and the two walked towards the classroom.

The man is gentle and elegant, he is Wen Yao's husband, and also a teacher of this school.

On the way back, Su Yu was still looking at Wen Yao's information.Wen Yao's husband is a mathematics lecturer. He is young and promising, and seems to be quite popular with students. Both Su Sheng and Xie Suixing have taken his classes, and Xie Suixing was his former teaching assistant.

The case seems to have entered a dead end, but the trial will start tomorrow.

Su Yu frowned and looked at Huo Ran.

Huo Ran's expression was calm, his eyebrows were clear and handsome, and he couldn't see any emotion.After a long time, he said, "It will be fine."

"Lawyer Huo, do you still want to plead not guilty today?"

"Lawyer Huo, have you found any new evidence?"

"Lawyer Huo, how sure are you about this lawsuit?"

Huo Ran had no expression on his face. The trial was not open to the public, and the media reporters were stopped outside.Su Yu was wearing a slim suit and skirt, pulling a suitcase, and followed behind him.After giving Huo Ran the materials needed for the trial, she walked in through another door and sat in the gallery.

The law enforcement officers entered the patrol court first.

Huo Ran stood outside the door waiting for the clerk to notify, and a man in a prosecutor's uniform stood beside Huo Ran.Qin Yu is tall and tall. He straightened his clothes with his slender fingers and pursed his lips: "Lawyer Huo, instead of defending innocence, think about how to help the defendant get a commutation of sentence. Suspects who refuse to plead guilty will only be sentenced severely by the court."

"Ah."

Huo Ran didn't look at him, and sneered in a low voice: "Qin Jian..."

But the clerk's voice came from the courtroom: "The public prosecutor and defender are invited to enter the courtroom."

Huo Ran didn't say anything else, and pushed open the door. He was dressed in a pure black slim suit, which made his figure even more handsome.

Not long after, Su Sheng was brought in by the bailiff, perhaps because he had been imprisoned for so many days, his complexion was a little pale.

Su Sheng sat on the defendant's chair next to Huo Ran, and the bailiff released him from the handcuffs.

After the judge knocked down the gavel and verified the basic information of the case, the prosecutor stood up and began to read the indictment.

Su Cheng clenched his fingers tightly.

After the indictment was read out, the presiding judge looked at Su Sheng: "Defendant Su Sheng, do you have any objections to the criminal facts and charges charged in the indictment?"

Su Cheng glanced at Su Yu who was sitting in the auditorium, only to feel pain in his chest and burning eyes.He gritted his teeth: "Yes, I didn't kill anyone."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a commotion in the auditorium.

Xie Suixing's mother stood up suddenly. She was very thin, her hair at the temples was all white, and her eyes were bloodshot.

She almost collapsed: "Murderer, you lied! You want to pay for Xing Xing's life. Xing Xing liked you so much before, but you killed Xing Xing... You still haven't pleaded guilty! You want Xing Xing to die...I will fight you hard!"

As she spoke, her body was crumbling like a dilapidated kite.The girl next to her quickly supported her: "Auntie!"

Su Yu's nose was sour, and his eye sockets were hot.

The presiding judge knocked the gavel hard a few times, and said loudly: "Silence!" He looked at Qin Yu: "Next, the public prosecutor will ask the defendant about the criminal facts of the indictment's accusation of Su Sheng's intentional homicide."

Qin Yu raised his eyes and met Huo Ran's gaze, and it took a while for his gaze to fall on Su Sheng: "Su Sheng, what were you doing from twelve o'clock in the morning to two o'clock in the morning when the crime happened?"

Su Sheng: "At about twelve o'clock in the morning, I went out for something, and I didn't return to the apartment until about 01:30. Because of the heavy rain and power outage, I couldn't see anything, but I smelled a strong smell of blood and stepped on fruit. Knife, I turned on the flashlight of my phone, picked up the knife, and saw Sui Xing lying on the floor covered in blood..."

Qin Yu: "At twelve o'clock in the morning, where did you go out?"

Su Cheng's heart tightened, his cheeks moved, but he didn't say anything.

Qin Yu continued to ask: "Are there any witnesses?"

Su Sheng was silent.

Qin Yu: "Did you go out by car? It's raining so much..."

Before Su Sheng could answer, Huo Ran's cold voice sounded: "No, the prosecutor is trying to induce the defendant."

Presiding judge: "The objection is valid, please pay attention to the way the public prosecutor asks questions."

Qin Yu smiled: "Okay, let me ask the defendant, which way did you go out on the night of the crime?"

"walk."

Qin Yu: "It's raining so much. According to common sense, most people would choose to drive. Why do you choose to walk?"

"Because the place to go is very close."

Qin Yu pressed further: "Where did you go?"

Su Sheng fell silent.

"Do you smoke marijuana?"

"No smoking."

"Then why was marijuana found in your apartment?"

Su Cheng fell silent again, his cheeks moved again and again, and finally returned to calm.

Qin Yu laughed directly: "Defendant, that is to say, you can't tell where you were when the crime happened, and you don't have any witnesses. You even have doubts about the way you went out. You claim that you don't take drugs, but you have marijuana in your home. Is it a business?" poison?"

Before Huo Ran said "objection", Qin Yu quickly said: "Judge, my questioning is over for now."

The presiding judge looked at Huo Ran: "Does the defender want to question the defendant?"

Huo Ran tapped lightly on the table with his slender fingers, and said lightly, "Yes."

Huo Ran raised his eyebrows: "Before the incident, did you use that fruit knife?"

Su Sheng said, "I used it, I just finished cutting the apples that day."

"After you cut the apples, did you wash them?"

Su Sheng paused, pursed his lips: "No, I don't have the habit of washing dishes."

Qin Yu sneered: "Judge, this question has nothing to do with this case."

Before the presiding judge could speak, Huo Ran said, "Presiding judge, my questioning is over for now."

Qin Yu was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect that Huo Ran only asked these two questions.

Su Yu's expression shook slightly, while Su Cheng moved his pale lips and closed his eyes.

Qin Yu submitted the evidence first.

The first set of evidence is the on-site inspection transcripts, photos, on-site schematic diagrams, and the registration form for extracting traces and recording items. He said: "The first scene is in Su Sheng's apartment, and the apartment has no traces of forcible entry."

The bailiff showed the evidence to Huo Ran.

The second group is the autopsy report of the victim: "It can be seen from the autopsy report that the victim was stabbed to death by a fruit knife."

The third group is a fruit knife used in committing the crime and genetic relationship identification.

"Through identification, we can know that most of the blood on the knife was left by the deceased Xie Suixing, and some were left by Su Cheng, and only Su Cheng's fingerprints are on the knife."

The fourth group is photos of marijuana found in Su Sheng's apartment.

He didn't explain anything, but it was more useful than explanation. Everyone consciously made up the reason - Xie Suixing accidentally caught him taking drugs, and he simply killed her to hide it.

The fifth group is Su Sheng's transcript.

"The defendant said that he was not present, but he could not provide any evidence of absence, which means that he has no proof of absence."

Seeing those evidences, Su Cheng seemed to reappear the scene of that night, the pale face, thick blood stains, and scarlet everything.

The presiding judge asked him if he had anything to say, he gritted his teeth: "It's not me, it's not me..."

Qin Yu sneered.

"Su Sheng, calm down." Huo Ran's voice was calm and calm.

He turned to answer the presiding judge's question: "The defense has no objection to the evidence, but has objections to what the prosecution is trying to prove. In the defendant's transcript, he mentioned that after stepping on a fruit knife, he picked up fruit knife, and cut his hand again, not to mention that this fruit knife is commonly used in the defendant's home, so his fingerprints and blood stains on the knife can only prove that he has touched this knife, and the defendant has touched the commonly used ones in his home Knife, not surprising."

Qin Yu: "But there are only his fingerprints on the knife."

Huo Ran: "Perhaps the murderer cleaned up the traces at the scene. The defendant picked up the fruit knife from the ground after the crime, and naturally left fingerprints."

Qin Yu choked with anger at Huo Ran's nonsense, and he invited two witnesses to appear in court.

One is a retired old teacher who lives upstairs from Su Sheng: "I heard the quarrel downstairs and thought it was an ordinary quarrel, so I didn't get up to watch it. Because I used to go to the toilet in the middle of the night, I just looked out the window after I went to the toilet , I happened to see a figure rushing out of the apartment building, and the image from the back was the tenant downstairs."

Qin Yu only asked one question: "Is the person you saw in court now?"

The old teacher looked at Su Sheng and said, "It's him."

Qin Yu's lips curled up slightly: "The prosecution's interrogation is over."

Huo Ran stared at the old teacher: "It was raining heavily at the time, how was your vision?"

The old teacher hesitated for a moment: "It was very late, the sky was dark, and it was raining heavily, so I couldn't see clearly. But I did see a young man go out, dressed in black, he was the only young man in our building. Young man, and it's so late, and it's raining heavily, who will go out?"

"What time do you go to the toilet? Before 01:30 or after 01:30?"

Su Sheng’s statement said that he returned home at around 01:30, and immediately went out to find his sister Su Yu after discovering the murder. If he is telling the truth, it means that the time he went out again must have exceeded 01:30 .

Qin Yu sneered: "I object, the defender asks leading questions."

Presiding judge: "The objection is invalid, please continue to ask questions."

Huo Ran acted as if he didn't hear anything, but said slowly: "You just said that you go to the toilet habitually, which means you have developed the habit of going to the toilet at a fixed time."

The old teacher thought for a while and said, "It must be after 01:30. I usually go to the bathroom around two o'clock."

Huo Ran's eyebrows jumped, and he closed his eyes, but his face was extremely calm, and every word could be heard clearly: "Are you sure it's two o'clock?"

"Yes."

Qin Yu's eyelids also twitched heavily.

The second witness was the police officer in charge of the trace examination.

Qin Yu said: "Please truthfully tell the court the result of this trace inspection."

Police: "There is no sign of forcibly breaking into the door of the apartment, and the footprints (bloodstains) in the apartment are only traces of the defendant, and there are only fingerprints left by the defendant on the fruit knife, but both the defendant and the victim are on the knife." human blood."

Huo Ran remained expressionless: "Are you sure there is only the defendant's fingerprint on the fruit knife?"

The policeman said: "Yes."

"No one else's fingerprints?"

The policeman is sure: "Yes."

Huo Ran sat back, closed his eyes, and covered the emotion in his eyes: "The defense side has finished asking questions."

Up to now, the trial has hardly made much progress. Su Cheng's fingerprints are conclusive, and the possibility of his alibi cannot be ruled out.

The girl who had been with Xie Suixing's mother breathed a sigh of relief, lowered her voice and said to her: "Auntie, don't worry, Prosecutor Qin said that he will definitely send the murderer to prison, this murderer will definitely For those who have been sentenced, their lawyers cannot help them get rid of so many testimonies."

Su Yu's heart shrank.

Su Yu looked over, and happened to meet Xie Suixing's mother's eyes full of hatred and hatred. There were still tears in the corners of her eyes, but her eyes were full of angry accusations - you are an accomplice of the murderer, you are acquitted of the murderer. .

Su Yu withdrew his gaze and clenched his fingers tightly.

Huo Ran's black eyes were staring at her, and her mood gradually calmed down.

Now everyone is accusing Su Sheng of being a murderer. What he needs most is that his lawyer and his relatives believe in him and stand by him, and...

Su Yu raised his eyes and looked at Huo Ran.

Sitting on the defender's seat, he has a straight back like a tree, a deep and distinct outline, sharp lines, and black pupils without impurities.He turned his face sideways, his eyes fell on the judge, and he began to give evidence.

She thought, she should trust Huo Ran, if he said it was fine, it would be fine.

The evidence that defense lawyers can obtain is limited, and they generally only select from the evidence in the hands of the police and the prosecution.

Huo Ran is no exception, his first piece of evidence is the transcripts of Su Sheng and Su Yu.

Huo Ran's voice was clean and deep, a bit cold: "The defendant mentioned in the transcript that he arrived at his sister Su Yu's house at around two o'clock in the morning, and Su Yu's transcript also confirmed that the time she got up to open the door was It was 10:[-] in the morning. It took the defendant [-] minutes to drive from his apartment to Su Yu’s house, not to mention the heavy rain would prolong the time spent on the road, which meant that he had to leave the apartment at around [-]:[-] in the morning at the latest The witness just now, Professor Shen Yu, saw the person suspected of being the defendant leave the apartment building around two o'clock, which does not match the time."

He paused, and the second piece of evidence was a surveillance video - the surveillance in the elevator of Su Yu's apartment.

Su Cheng entered the elevator, completely drenched, his right hand was dripping with blood, and the time in the upper right corner of the monitor was circled in red.

It was two past three in the morning.

Huo Ran said: "So, the person the witness saw was not Su Sheng. And the witness just said that he was the only young man in the apartment where the defendant lived. What the witness saw was either an illusion due to heavy rain and blurred vision, or That's the real murderer, a young man."

The third piece of evidence is the result of Su Sheng's urine test on the day of his arrest and a time limit for a positive urine test for drugs.

Huo Ran calmly explained: "The result of the defendant's urine test was negative, and the time limit for a positive urine test after taking marijuana is from two hours to 56 hours, that is, the defendant did not take drugs within 56 hours before the test." There is no human speculation Motive for killing—intention to kill because of drug abuse.

The fourth piece of evidence is the WeChat records of Su Sheng and Yaoyao, provided by the police.

Huo Ran watched the bailiff present the documentary evidence in front of Su Sheng, and clearly saw Su Sheng's expression change suddenly.He turned his head and looked at Huo Ran, with anxiety, panic, embarrassment, and panic in his eyes, and his pale lips trembling.

The content in the screenshot is -

Su Sheng: Auntie came over this morning to clean up and bought apples. I want to eat the rabbit apples you cut.

Yaoyao replied after a long time: OK, I'll come over later.

Then there was the last sentence in the screenshot. After three hours, Su Sheng said: "The rabbit apple is even cuter. I am very happy today!"
He also posted a photo of the bunny apple on the coffee table.

The last piece of evidence is the photo taken by the police at Su Sheng's apartment after the incident.There was a plate on the messy coffee table. The rabbit apple was gone, but there were still residual cores on the plate.

Huo Ran: "From the fourth piece of evidence, we can know that this person named Yaoyao went to the defendant's apartment on the morning of the incident and cut the rabbit apple with the fruit knife. After the incident, the police From the photos taken, it can be seen that the defendant did not wash the plate after eating the apples that day, and naturally he did not know how to wash the fruit knife. The defendant also said in the first round of interrogation that he had never washed the fruit knife, that is to say , there should have been Yaoyao's fingerprints on the knife, but now only the defendant's fingerprints have been detected. If the defendant tried to wipe and erase the traces after the incident, no fingerprints would be left on the knife. Maybe there won’t be so many clear fingerprints that only belong to Su Sheng, so the fingerprints on the knife are obviously more in line with what the defendant said—he stepped on the fruit knife when he went home, and when he picked it up, he left fingerprints.”

Su Yu loosened his tightly clenched fingers.

The presiding judge asked Qin Yu: "Does the prosecution have any objections to the evidence?"

Qin Yu tightened his cheeks, his face was a little pale, and his tone sank: "Yes, the defender's groundless guesses on the conclusions proved by the evidence are random guesses about the defendant's behavior and are not credible."

Huo Ran's witness is the cleaning lady in charge of Su Sheng's apartment.

Huo Ran asked her: "What kind of work are you usually responsible for? How often?"

The cleaning aunt replied: "I clean at eight o'clock every morning, washing dishes, mopping the floor, changing quilts, etc."

"That is to say, you only come to the defendant's apartment at eight o'clock every morning?"

"Yes."

"Do you need to cook?"

Qin Yu squinted his eyes: "No, this issue has nothing to do with this case."

Huo Ran's tone was calm: "Judge, this question is very important."

Presiding judge: "The objection is invalid, and the defender continues to ask questions."

"No, Ah Cheng usually eats out or orders takeaway. I just need to clean the dishes and chopsticks he used yesterday the next morning."

"Does Su Sheng have the habit of washing dishes?"

"No, he will keep it after he uses it up and wait for me to wash it the next day."

Therefore, Su Sheng did not clean the fruit knife after eating the apples to wipe away the traces of the distant ones.

Qin Yu's heart was beating fast, he stood up with sharp eyes, "I object..."

Before he finished speaking, Huo Ran turned to look at him, his eyes were like black jade, and his eyelashes were like crow feathers: "It is logically impossible for the witnesses to see the defendant. In the case that the knife has not been cleaned, the fingerprints on the knife are only those of the defendant, and Yaoyao, who also touched the knife, is missing, which means that the fingerprint evidence is doubtful."

There are two possibilities. One is to assume that Su Cheng did kill someone. After killing, he wiped his fingerprints to cover up the traces, but in this way, he either wiped clean without leaving any fingerprints, or left one or two missing fingerprints. , and there will not be so many fingerprints now; the second possibility is that Su Cheng is really not at home, a third person broke in, killed Xie Suixing, wiped off the fingerprints, and when Su Cheng went back, he accidentally picked up a fruit knife, Fingerprints were reprinted.

The second possibility sounds absurd.

If Su Sheng wasn't at home, why would Xie Suixing come to his house?Why did the third person enter Su Sheng's house?Still killed someone in Su Sheng's apartment?

There was an uproar in the auditorium, some sighed, some couldn't believe it, and more people were angry.

Xie Suixing's mother broke down completely, her voice broke, and she shouted heart-piercingly: "You lawyers who eat human blood steamed buns! Die badly!"

Qin Yu clenched his fists, wanting to say something.

The presiding judge frowned tightly and knocked down the gavel: "No noise!" The bailiff stepped forward and stood in front of the auditorium to prevent the group of relatives and friends from rioting.

The presiding judge sullenly said, "Adjourn the court first, the prosecutor and defender please go to the pre-trial meeting room."

In the conference room, the presiding judge sat down.

Qin Yu's complexion was not good, he pulled his collar with a cold face: "Judge, the defender's evidence lacks the testimony of 'Yaoyao', whether 'Yaoyao' really touched the knife is still unknown."

Huo Ran said seriously: "Judge, I apply to the court for a new witness, 'Yaoyao' Wen Yao, to appear in court. She is a teacher of University B."

Qin Yu sneered and retorted: "Even if she really touched the knife, Su Sheng didn't wash the knife or wipe his fingerprints halfway, even if the fingerprints were left by him holding the knife at the end, then you mean there is still a third person ? He is the real murderer?" Qin Yu sneered, "First break into Su Sheng's apartment without a trace and kill someone, then clean up the fingerprints left on the knife, and finally leave marijuana for your defendant? Then you The defendant is very innocent, and he accidentally picked up a fruit knife and reprinted his fingerprints as soon as he returned? This is too much of a coincidence, lawyer Huo."

Huo Ran looked at him, his dark eyes were full of sarcasm: "That's the job of you and the police, not mine. I'm only responsible for raising reasonable doubts, excluding unreasonable evidence, and finding out the truth of my client's innocence and misdemeanor." possibility."

"Presiding judge, there is no trace of a third person at the scene! There is another possibility of fingerprints, that is, Su Cheng cleaned up the fingerprint traces at the end, but accidentally left behind..."

"The last fingerprints are four, clear, held, not left by accident..."

The presiding judge got a headache from the quarrel between the two, and shouted: "Okay, be quiet!"

Huo Ran: "Sorry."

Qin Yu took a deep breath and apologized: "I'm sorry."

The presiding judge continued: "The court will be adjourned today, and the court will resume tomorrow. I agree with the defender's application for a new witness..."

Qin Yu was a little anxious: "The judge..."

The presiding judge didn't want to listen anymore, and the voice made an impatient decision: "That's it, go out, tomorrow morning at nine o'clock, don't be late."

At the end of the court corridor, Su Yu was sitting on a bench, the sunlight outside the window was projected on the smooth marble floor.

She stared straight at the documents in front of her.

Although Huo Ran raised doubts and refuted the evidence, but to really acquit Su Sheng, he still had to find out his alibi.

Looking at it now, "Yaoyao" must be Wen Yao.But who was that person that the old professor saw around two o'clock in the morning?
According to Huo Ran's analysis, the murderer killed Xie Suixing while Su Sheng was out, but accidentally left fingerprints on the fruit knife, so he simply wiped off all the fingerprints on the knife.After Su Cheng came back, he picked up the knife and left fingerprints at the same time, so he became a suspect.Does that mean that the murderer didn't come prepared?The murderer didn't bring a knife, and even the murder weapon was taken at the scene?But the murderer cleaned up the fingerprints again... There is another question, why did this murder happen in Su Sheng's apartment?
The living room was indeed the scene of the first crime, but how did they get into Su Sheng's apartment?
A thought suddenly flashed in Su Yu's mind, and an imaginary picture flashed - the murderer entered Xie Suixing's apartment. Xie Suixing was very scared, so he wanted to ask Su Sheng opposite for help.She ran over, and the murderer was chasing after her closely... At this time, Su Cheng had already hurried out, and there was no one at home... How did Xie Suixing get in?Could it be that Su Cheng didn't lock the door when he was in a hurry, and then Xie Suixing ran in, but found that no one was there, and there was no way to ask for help. She could only grab the fruit knife on the coffee table, but was snatched away by the other party. poked down...

Su Yu was still distracted when the light in front of him was suddenly blocked by a black shadow.

Huo Ran's voice was deep: "Why are you in a daze?"

Su Yu raised his eyes, at the moment he was looking at her, her small figure was in his deep eyes.He said, "Let's go."

Su Yu stood up: "Where are you going?"

Huo Ran's voice didn't fluctuate: "Eat."

Su Yu followed behind him, looking forward.

Qin Yu was standing at the corner, expressionless, his eyes fell on Su Yu, there was a hint of coldness and sharpness in his handsome brows.

There was a smile on Huo Ran's lips, his pupils were as black as ink, and he kept walking.

Qin Yu didn't speak until he passed by Su Yu, he lowered his voice and said, "Su Yu, you are helping your brother get rid of the crime. Now all the evidence is enough to prove that your brother did something wrong Things, he should be punished by law, and criminals should go to prison. As a criminal lawyer, Huo Ran has no sense of morality at all... You used to be a prosecutor, you should know that these defense lawyers are unscrupulous in order to get rid of crimes... Just now, Xie Suixing's mother fainted from anger after the trial. Su Sheng killed Xie Suixing, and now you are still biting Xie Suixing..."

Hearing this, Su Yu's body became stiff for a moment, and he stopped walking.

She took a deep breath and subconsciously looked at Huo Ran's face.There was no expression on his face, as cold as ever, as if he didn't hear anything, even though Qin Yu attacked him as immoral.

Su Yu pursed his lips, and just said softly: "Su Cheng is innocent, he didn't kill anyone..."

Qin Yu sneered: "Courts rely on evidence to convict. Huo Ran has no evidence to prove Su Sheng's innocence. He is just defending the murderer and doing whatever he can for money..."

His tone rose slightly, but when he saw Su Yu's fair face, his tone softened a little: "Ah Yu, if you persuade Su Sheng to plead guilty, as long as he is willing to repent, I will find a way for the judge to give him a lighter sentence. However, if he is still like this and refuses to plead guilty, I will suggest that the court impose a heavier sentence."

Su Yu remained silent, his eyelashes trembling slightly.

She was silent for a while, and then said: "Qin Yu, I did something wrong, and the mistake was that I trusted my own eyes and feelings too much. A person with low moral character may not necessarily be a murderer; someone who is recognized by the public as a murderer A person is not necessarily a murderer."

Su Yu sniffed and raised her eyes: "Murderers should indeed be punished by law, but Su Cheng is not a criminal, and there is still a possibility of his innocence." She paused, her eyes were as clear as water, "If... If Su Sheng is still judged as a murderer after a fair trial procedure, at least, Huo Ran has tried his best to protect his legal rights. Huo Ran is not trying to confuse right and wrong for money. Defense is the right bestowed on every lawyer by the law. Huo Ran Ran abides by professional ethics, loves the law, is unbiased, and is an excellent lawyer."

After Su Yu's voice fell, the air froze for a moment, and no one spoke for a while.

Huo Ran was stunned for a moment, then raised the corners of his mouth, and couldn't help laughing, his dark eyes sparkled with laughter.

This big pot of "Su-style chicken soup" has a familiar taste and a familiar recipe.Su Yu hasn't changed at all, she is serious, persistent, and...cute, as if she is always innocent, but also always makes people's hearts flutter.

Qin Yu frowned, feeling amused and annoyed: "Su Yu, do you know how many criminals Huo Ran helped escape legal punishment? How many victims' justice was prevented?"

Huo Ran was already impatient to hear, before Su Yu could say anything, he opened his long legs, and a voice came: "Su Yu, we should leave."

Su Yu took a last look at Qin Yu, looked away, and followed closely behind Huo Ran.

When they arrived at Huo Ran's car, Su Yu asked: "Shall we go to Wen Yao again? Maybe she knows the truth of this case."

Huo Ran started the car, his expression still calm and composed.

He glanced at Su Yu, twitched the corner of his mouth, and said calmly: "Su Yu, the truth does exist, but the lawyer has no way of knowing, and it is not the lawyer's responsibility to find out the truth. We are not responsible for investigating the case."

Su Yu blinked: "Then what shall we do?"

Huo Ran smiled: "Go eat first."

Su Yu: "Oh."

The car started slowly, and the inside of the car became quiet.

Su Yu looked sideways, raised his head slightly, and suddenly met Huo Ran's gaze.These eyes are the same as the eyes in her memory, they are so clean, but now there is more alienation in these eyes.

The red light at the intersection was still counting, Huo Ran was still watching her, and the originally spacious carriage suddenly became crowded.

Su Yu's cell phone rang suddenly, piercing the stagnant air.Su Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and looked down for the phone.The moment she saw the caller ID, she paused her fingers, and suddenly turned her back to Huo Ran with some guilt, and quickly connected the call.

"Hi." She said in a low voice.

Huo Ran didn't speak, and looked away, the faint smile in his eyes slowly dissipated, and the line of his jaw revealed a trace of sternness under the light.

The temperature in the compartment gradually cooled down again.

He knew who the person who called Su Yu was.

Chen Yanze, people recognized by the Su family can legitimately own Su Yu's people.

Chen Yan on the other end had a warm voice: "Ayu, I'm back, where are you?"

Su Yu lowered his voice subconsciously: "I just went to court."

"I'm sorry, something happened suddenly at the company, and I couldn't be by your side even when Ah Cheng appeared in court."

"It's okay." Su Yu lowered his eyes and smiled, "Ah Cheng will be fine."

The two chatted for a while, and Chen Yan asked Su Yu to share her location with him.

Su Yu said, "Okay."

Su Yu hung up the phone, and the two people in the car were silent all the way.Finally, the car stopped in front of a building, Su Yu got out of the car, Huo Ran asked her to go to the restaurant first, and the front desk led her to a private room.

Su Yu pushed the door open and went in, only to find that there was another person in the box.

A teenager was nestling on the sofa, playing a mobile game with his head down, and didn't lift his head when he heard the sound.It wasn't until the end of a game that he raised his eyebrows and greeted Su Yu: "Hello."

The young man has delicate features, red lips, white teeth, and fair skin.

Su Yu smiled: "Hello."

After a while, Huo Ran walked in with another girl.The girl looked like a college student, wearing overalls, piercing her apple head, and her eyes were dark and round.

After she greeted Su Yu, she ran to the side of the boy to have a look, and then mercilessly turned on the mocking mode: "Lu Jin, you elementary school student should stop playing games, your points are almost lost, You can only be a RMB player... Men can't, just confront them head-on!"

Lu Chi ended a game and successfully lost his level. He was so angry that he jumped up from the sofa, kicking the sofa hard, and was about to vomit blood: "Ancestor, I beg you, please let me be quiet." Wouldn't it be nice to play the game quietly for a while?"

The girl pointed at his mobile phone screen and said innocently: "Your skills are too bad, you have been reported."

Lu Jin looked at it and said angrily: "Who dares to report the RMB players?"

Huo Ran laughed, ordered the dishes, and said: "It's time to eat." He raised his chin towards the two, and introduced Su Yu simply: "Lu Jin, Jian Yanxian, freelance reporters."

Probably because of losing the game, Lu Chen was in a bad mood, so he simply said, "Hi, Lu Chen."

Jian Yanxian talked a lot, she smiled sweetly, and said: "Hi, Miss Sister, I am Jian Yanxian, a freelance reporter, or an informant, anyway, I just sell news, and I occasionally run around for extra money to help fuel the fire." Check the news."

Su Yu smiled and said, "Hi, I'm Su Yu."

"Su Yu? You dumped Brother Ran?" Lu Jin suddenly interjected when he heard the words, looked at her meaningfully, and said with emotion, "Heroine!"

Su Yu was a little uncomfortable, she didn't like others to mention her breaking up with Huo Ran.

But Huo Ran was leaning on the back of the chair, under the light, his expression was at ease.After a while, he said, "Help me check Su Sheng's teacher, Wen Yao, and her husband. The deadline is before twelve o'clock tonight."

Lu Xi snapped his fingers: "No problem."

Only then did Su Yu know that the people who checked Huo Ran's news were the two in front of him.

The waiters served the dishes one after another.

Jian Yanxian said: "Miss sister, do you know why I want to cooperate with Lu Jin?"

Lu Jin said coldly: "Because someone can't drive, I have failed Subject Two five times in a row, and the sixth time is about to come."

Jian Yanxian complained: "That coach is too fierce. I was so scolded that I almost doubted my life, so I couldn't pass." She looked at Su Yu: "Miss sister, did you meet this kind of coach when you were learning to drive? ?”

Su Yu shook his head and said seriously: "No."

Jian Yanxian was surprised, and then she thought again: "However, I heard that the coach either likes to scold people, or likes to play tricks. Does that coach know it?"

Su Yu: "..."

She thought about it, but suddenly couldn't refute it.

Jian Yanxian became angry: "Really hands-on? I'm going to chop off his salty pig's hand! Tell me, which driving school is it, which coach?"

Her driving instructor is Huo Ran.

The moment Huo Ran's name appeared in Su Yu's mind, Huo Ran also raised his eyes, and said flatly, "It's me." Looks like he doesn't care.

No one spoke for a while.

Jian Yanxian was stunned, Lu Chen was also stunned, and most importantly, Su Yu was silent.She lowered her eyes, and her eyelashes cast a light shadow under her eyes, hiding the emotion in her eyes.

But there was a mole in the corner of her eye, under the warm light, it looked unspeakably pitiful.Her neck was slender and fair, and the little bit of skin that was exposed was dazzlingly white.

Jian Yanxian and Lu Jin silently looked at each other, thinking involuntarily, Brother Ran is really a beast.

Huo Ran lowered his head and pursed his thin lips slightly.

Obviously she was the one who left voluntarily, but she acted like he was the one who betrayed her heart.

Ever since she was a child, Su Yu's sense of direction was not very good, and she never had the need to learn to drive, so she did not learn to drive until her sophomore year.She knows that many coaches like to scold their students, but she also heard that some driving schools offer royal and noble classes. Although the price is three times that of ordinary classes, the coaches are young and handsome, and teach one-on-one. You pass.

Su Yu was not short of money, so he signed up without hesitation.

On the second day after registering, she saw Huo Ran in the classroom.Huo Ran stopped her slowly: "I heard that you want to learn to drive?"

Su Yu ignored him.

He didn't bother, he smiled and said ambiguously, "Let me let you go today."

After Su Yu easily passed Subject One, the person in charge warmly welcomed her into the driving school: "You are a member of the royal family of our driving school. Our school takes special care of you and arranged two coaches for you."

Su Yu raised his eyes and froze in place.

The man was standing next to a driving school bus. He was tall, wearing a simple white coat and black trousers, leaning against the car door.Probably because of the heat, his black hair was a little wet, but his pupils seemed to be getting darker, refracting a faint light.

There was a cigarette between his slender fingers, and the scarlet light flickered on and off.Seeing Su Yu, he bit the cigarette between his lips.

The person in charge shouted: "Ah Ran, here comes the customer!"

Su Yu: "..."

The person in charge said: "Have you seen the coach behind Ah Ran? That's the head coach. You can call him Coach Xu. He's 40 years old and has 20 years of safe driving experience. It's all right. And the boy in front is your deputy. coach."

Said to be an assistant coach, but it was Huo Ran who taught her how to drive most of the time.

Su Yu touched the steering wheel nervously, thinking whether she should change to another driving school.Is this the only treatment for the royal class in this driving school?Isn't Huo Ran still a student?Where did he get his coaching certificate?You haven't been driving for five years, have you?
Huo Ran seemed to be able to guess her thoughts, and lazily said: "If you dare to change the driving school, you can try it." He lowered his voice and leaned close to her: "It's only been three years since I got the license, but the driving experience is already long More than that. This is a driving school run by my friend, and I asked him to specially arrange for me to teach you how to drive. I really like teaching you how to drive, and Coach Xu will watch and guide you."

Su Yu was a little shocked, but held back for a long time, and only said: "Can you curse?"

Did she accept him as a coach?

Huo Ran: "Yes."

Su Yu pursed her lips: "Then I don't want you."

Huo Ran said slowly: "But I won't scold the person I like."

Su Yu was stunned for a few seconds before reacting.She turned her head, feeling that she was getting hot all over from his scorching gaze, and Bai Ruyu's earlobe was a little bit red.

Su Yu clenched the steering wheel, and said slowly: "If you swear, I will complain to you."

As a result, Huo Ran really never scolded her during the whole process of learning to drive.

When she was nervous, she stepped on the gas pedal as the brake, and the whole car hit the wall of the parking garage. Fortunately, she was fine.After stepping on the brake, Huo Ran encouraged her with a smile: "You drove well, the wall didn't fall down."

Huo Ran said, "You turn on the turn signal."

She accidentally turned on the headlights.

Huo Ran bent his eyes, black eyes like ink, and said softly: "Please turn on the turn signal again."

For the second subject test, she had deducted all the points for the test before backing the car into storage.Huo Ran gave a thumbs up: "Come on, don't be discouraged, failure is the mother of success, you are so good, you will be able to pass next time."

Su Yu couldn't take it anymore, and stared at him with watery eyes and puffed cheeks.

Huo Ran was amused: "Do you still want to serve the nobles?"

Su Yu made another appointment for the exam, and Huo Ran taught her in a different way.She was looking down at the buttons next to the steering wheel, when a tall figure came over silently.

The man's hands were long, warm and dry.

He held her hand, his voice was deep, and his breath brushed her ears: "Su Yu, look carefully, this way..." The warm breath made her whole body numb, and she could hardly move.

His dry lips suddenly touched her ear, but left in the next second.He sat back in his original position and said, "Step on the gas pedal."

Su Yu drove cautiously, controlled the speed very slowly, and listened nervously to Huo Ran's orders.

Huo Ran suddenly said again: "Step on the brakes."

When Su Yu was nervous, he suddenly couldn't react. He stepped on the accelerator in a daze, and slammed into the obstacle in front of him.

Seeing that he was about to hit him, Huo Ran slammed on the brakes.

Su Yu was still in shock, his feet didn't move, he turned his head to look at Huo Ran.

She was anxious, thinking that Huo Ran was going to yell, but Huo Ran suddenly bowed, grabbed her ankle, pinched her slender bones, and put her foot on the brake.

He raised his eyes, and his voice was low, like soothing music: "Feel the brakes more, remember to step on them later."

Su Yu stared blankly at him who was different from usual gentleness.

After a long time, she suddenly realized that they were too close.

The scorching temperature of his palm jumped from the nerve endings to her scalp. The temperature made her reflexively want to kick him.

But his slender fingers tightened more and more, that section of skin was like a piece of flawless jade, exuding a lustrous light, and even tiny blood vessels could be vaguely seen.

"Let go!"

Su Yu's cheeks were flushed, and he bit his lower lip: "I know how to step on the brakes! I will remember to step on the brakes! Let go!"

Huo Ran curled his lips into a smile, deep and light shadows flitted across his face.

The summer sun casts spots of light through the dense foliage.The wind was blowing, bringing with it a heat wave, and Su Yu felt even hotter.During the break, a few people sat under the shade of a tree, Su Yu was chatting with Coach Xu, and Huo Ran went to get water.

After a while, he came back with two bottles of water, handed one to Coach Xu, and unscrewed the other on his own.He raised his head, his temples were covered with sweat, wet, and his sexy Adam's apple moved slightly, pouring water.

Su Yu blinked: "Didn't you help me get water?" She looked at the other people around, and their coaches helped students get water.

Su Yu reminded him: "I am a royal and noble client."

He ignored her and continued to drink water.

Her voice was soft: "The other coaches are all mad."

Coach Xu hadn't had a drink yet, and wanted to give her his bottle of water, but was stopped by Huo Ran.Huo Ran looked down at her, nodded, and said, "Well, the other coaches are kind."

Su Yu was extremely angry.

Huo Ran approached her, and smiled lazily: "I really envy them, but I'm not born with a good heart."

Su Yu: "..."

He changed the subject: "But it's okay..."

Su Yu suddenly had a bad feeling.

In the next second, Huo Ran handed the water he drank to her lips, and before she could dodge it, she touched the mouth of the bottle and got wet.

Huo Ran said unhurriedly: "I'm a very perverted person, here, I'll give you some water."

Su Yu gritted his teeth, his face flushed red: "You..."

"Well, I'm sick." Huo Ran accepted it frankly.

Su Yu was still angry, his black pupils were moist.

A coach like Huo Ran should be nailed to the stigma of the driving coaching world!

Su Yu scolded him in his heart for a while, then stretched out his hand to take the bottle of water.Originally, she was going to pour water on Huo Ran, but before she could use much force, she crushed the bottle, and the water flowed all over her hands and body.

Su Yu: "..."

Huo Ran laughed lazily, and after a while, he stood up, not knowing where he went.

After Su Yu changed her clothes, Coach Xu asked her to help hand over a document to Huo Ran. She was about to refuse, but Coach Xu had already run away.

She followed the signpost to the coach lounge, but the door was still open.She pushed open the door, and saw the man's bare back at a glance, with well-defined muscles, narrow waistline, neat lines, full of strength.

Huo Ran is getting dressed.

Su Yu quickly covered his eyes, turned around and wanted to leave.

Huo Ran's voice was light and ethereal: "You want to leave after seeing it?"

Su Yu bit his lower lip, and his voice was a little weaker: "I didn't watch it."

"Look." His footsteps were getting closer.

Su Yu blushed, and muttered: "Who asked you to change clothes without closing the door?"

"Because I want you to see it."

He spoke frankly, and as soon as he finished speaking, Su Yu's shoulders were pinched in the next second, and he turned around forcibly, falling into the arms of the man.

His clear breath poured into her nostrils, with the smell of tobacco and his own smell.

Huo Ran's voice was deep and powerful: "Does it look good?"

Su Yu was so ashamed that his ears were about to smoke, he didn't hear Huo Ran's words, his eyes were light, and he gritted his teeth helplessly: "Huo Ran, why did you take off the clothes you put on?"

Hearing this, he raised his eyebrows and laughed, something spread in his eyes.He wrapped his arms around, and Su Yu's face pressed against his hot and hard chest without any gap.

After that, Huo Ran increased the difficulty of training in order for Su Yu to pass the driving test.Su Yu is very tired every time she finishes her studies, and Huo Ran will drive her back to school in a coach car.

She was so sleepy in the car that she fell asleep from exhaustion.

But once, she felt a heavy chest and woke up suddenly, but she didn't open her eyes immediately.She clearly felt that someone buried her head in her collarbone, silently, and her breath was warm.

He didn't do anything, but he was so close, as if he was sniffing her body bit by bit, and then the cold tip of his nose touched a small piece of skin on her neck, and he took a deep breath.

Su Yu felt creepy and had a strange feeling.

Huo Ran had a cold aura, a sense of aggression exuded by a beast before swallowing its prey, hot and restless.

Huo Ran said: "You're awake, if you don't wake up, I'm afraid that I can't help but eat you soon."

Su Yu gritted his teeth and scolded him, "You pervert!"

Huo Ran raised his eyes, his pupils were black, like the silent deep sea under the starlight, and his voice was gentle: "Well, then should you be a perverted girlfriend?"

Su Yu: "..."

He suddenly wasn't as jerk and tough as before, he became like a clean boy, rubbed her collarbone with the tip of his cold nose, and said softly: "Don't reject me, don't ignore me, I like you very much. "

Su Yu felt as if a soda had been spilled in his chest, or as if he had been shot, and he was restless and restless.

If he had been tough, she would have refused right away without hesitation.But when she saw him lying on her shoulder, his pupils were black, his eyelashes were like feathers, and his skin was fair, it made her heart soften.

"Will you be my girlfriend?"

OK?Then, she heard herself say: "Okay." In fact, it took only a moment for her to regain her senses, but it was too late.

Huo Ran raised his eyebrows slightly, revealing his true colors, the youthful feeling that tricked her into softening her heart disappeared in an instant, leaving only cunning.

Su Yu pushed him away hard, and was about to get out of the car after unfastening his seat belt, but he held his shoulders and couldn't move.With a hoarse voice, he said, "Give me a kiss, my girlfriend needs a stamp."

She opened her eyes wide and was about to say something, but his lips were blocked heavily by him, leaving only a shallow whimper and the rapid beating "dongdong" of her heart.

The night wind blows outside the window, and the light and shadow shake.

This kind of kiss belongs to them who are just in love.

Such a boy belongs to her alone.

After dinner, the atmosphere became a bit awkward. Lu Jin and Jian Yanxian quickly finished their meal and went to check the news. Su Yu had to follow Huo Ran to the detention center to see Su Sheng.

Su Yu didn't say much in the car, Huo Ran parked the car outside the detention center, turned to look at her, and suddenly asked: "Have you ever thought about how to get Su Sheng to tell the specifics of that night?"

Su Yu was thinking.

Huo Ran hooked the corner of his mouth slightly: "You saw Su Sheng's reaction today, what do you think is his relationship with Wen Yao?"

Su Yu actually vaguely guessed the relationship between Su Sheng and Wen Yao, but he couldn't believe it.

Huo Ran smiled, and a faint sarcasm appeared on his handsome face: "Wen Yao has been lying." He stared into Su Yu's eyes: "Su Yu, in fact, you know your brother better than I do, so you already knew Wen Yao with your brother."

Su Yu's eyelashes trembled slightly, she just looked at him and said, "Su Cheng likes Wen Yao."

Su Yu's lips opened and closed slightly: "A young female teacher is beautiful, temperamental, and talented. I don't know why she looks gentle, but she has a sad smell on her body. She seems to have a normal relationship with her husband, and then she succeeded. Attracted a rich young master. Su Sheng and I had no mother since we were young. He was easily attracted to such a woman. While longing to be taken care of by others, he also wanted to take care of others with the sympathy of a wealthy family. When I saw Wen Yao , In fact, I understand that she fits Su Sheng's aesthetics very well. But Wen Yao has a husband, and he has been carefully hiding his intentions, but she doesn't know that she already knows."

Yes, no matter how good the relationship with the teacher is, the students will not secretly pay attention to the teacher's trumpet, let alone invite the teacher to come home to cut apples for him to eat... and he saw him and "Yaoyao" in court At the moment of the chat record, cautiousness and fear were hidden in the eyes.He is afraid of exposure.

Huo Ran's cell phone vibrated, and while holding the cell phone, he said, "These are just speculations, and there is more news that can be obtained. Have you ever thought that there are many people who like Wen Yao, but why she and Su Sheng's relationship seems to be very close... The most important thing right now is for Su Sheng to take the initiative to tell the person he met that night."

Huo Ran opened the mail, was silent for a while, and handed the mail to Su Yu to read.

After reading the email, Su Yu pursed his lips, and said, "I know how to let Su Cheng say it, so let's follow our guess."

The email is about Wen Yao's information, and there are two key points.

One is, according to Wen Yao's nanny, the relationship between Wen Yao and her husband is not good, and several times she saw traces of suspected domestic violence on Wen Yao's body.

The other is that Wen Yao has a history of depression for many years.

The police escorted Su Sheng in. Su Sheng's skin was fair and delicate, so the bruises were always very obvious. The corners of his mouth were red and swollen, and he looked very embarrassed.

Huo Ran stood with no expression on his face, his thin lips were pursed into a straight line.Huo Ran stared at the policeman with a sullen face, "What happened to his face?"

The policeman looked a little embarrassed: "The people in the same cell got into a fight."

Huo Ran calmly said: "If there is another time, I will sue the detention center for negligence."

Su Cheng sat down, and after the police left, Su Yu asked him: "What happened to your face?"

Su Cheng lowered his eyes: "It's a fight..." He pursed his lips: "Because I'm rich, most of the people inside see rich people as uncomfortable."

Su Yu frowned: "The police didn't stop it?"

"some."

Su Cheng didn't say any more, actually Su Yu also understood.

Su Cheng didn't care much about the wound on his face.The meeting time was obviously very short, but Su Yu didn't ask about the case at all, just chatting.His Adam's apple rolled up and down, he hesitated to speak several times, and finally he gritted his teeth and asked, "Sister, tomorrow's trial..."

Su Yu smiled: "It will be fine, so you went to Mr. Wen's house that night, why didn't you tell your sister directly? I still insisted on investigating, but fortunately, Mr. Wen's husband said that he was willing to testify in court."

Su Cheng was taken aback for a moment: "Teacher Wen's husband?"

Huo Ran looked at Su Sheng firmly: "Yes."

Su Sheng's pupils shrank suddenly, his eyes widened, he stood up abruptly, and stared at them in disbelief: "You said Liu Muyang was going to be my alibi?"

"Yes, he said that Teacher Wen was not feeling well that night, because you lived nearby, so he asked you to help and sent her to the hospital together. Speaking of which, he was really considerate to Teacher Wen. They love each other very much, Teacher Wen So happy."

"lie!"

Su Cheng's cheeks tensed, and the veins on his temples rose and fell faintly.Su Cheng seemed to lose his mind: "He's lying, he wasn't there at all that night! Wen Yao was going to commit suicide, she had self-harm wounds on her body, but she refused to go to the hospital, and he actually did something to Yaoyao that night! Wen Yao was unhappy, she It's very painful, because he is the one who inflicts pain on her. He doesn't love her, but he refuses to let her go. He only acts in front of everyone! This beast!"

In Su Yu's dark eyes, something spread.

The guesses seem to fit.

Su Yu said calmly: "Yes, Liu Muyang was not there that night. He treated Wen Yao badly, and even abused her often, so she was in great pain. You saw her pain and her excellence. You think you can Give her happiness, so you fell in love with her, approached her, cared about her, and invited her to the house. Then you accidentally found her trumpet, followed her quietly, and paid attention to her dynamics every day. On the night of the incident, you Seeing that she was suffering from depression, she posted a Weibo, saying that she was in pain and had the idea of ​​committing suicide, so you rushed to her home at 01 o'clock in the evening to comfort her and prevent her from committing suicide. Until 30 :[-] Her mood has stabilized, you just came back, and when you came back, you found a murder case at home."

Su Yu's eyes gradually became hot, and her eyes were a little blurry. She clenched her fingers tightly: "Su Cheng, is this kind of love more important than the punishment you will be sentenced to? You obviously have an alibi, why don't you say it? Conceal, do you think you are great? We found Wen Yao, Wen Yao knew it clearly, but refused to say anything, Wen Yao didn't care about your life at all! Your so-called love only touched yourself, stupid!"

She held back her tears: "Even if you don't want the outside world to know that Wen Yao is with male students in the middle of the night, you are afraid of ruining Teacher Wen's reputation, but there are many reasons to explain. You live nearby, you can tell me Say she is sick, you can send her to the hospital, or any other reason..."

"Su Yu." Huo Ran stopped her.

Su Yu sniffed and pursed his lips.She knew that such words were suspected of leading perjury.

Su Cheng's face was as white as a sheet of white paper, his eyes became more and more dark, his thin lips moved, and he couldn't say anything, as if he didn't expect that Su Yu was just deceiving him just now.

Huo Ran's cold eyes fell on Su Sheng, and he spoke with a serious and indifferent tone: "Wen Yao smokes marijuana, the marijuana in your apartment belongs to her, right? You took the marijuana and want to help her quit? How do you You refused to say where you went that night, what happened, and the source of marijuana, and no marijuana ingredients were detected in your body, so are you still afraid that her drug use will be exposed?"

Su Cheng completely lost his anger, his shoulders slumped, his face was covered with slender hands, his teeth were clenched tightly, and tears oozed from between his fingers.

Su Yu's heart trembled slightly, and he opened his eyes wide to look at Huo Ran.

Wen Yao has a history of drug abuse?

Huo Ran's expression was determined, and his sharp-edged face seemed a little indifferent.

After a long time, Su Cheng said: "Yes, but Yaoyao is in too much pain, I can't let her stand on the witness stand, open her wounds, and then put all her embarrassments in front of the public."

Su Yu was extremely angry: "Su Cheng, do you know that the relationship between you and Wen Yao is abnormal, she has a husband!" Su Yu took a deep breath and restrained his anger: "Well, you go to the prison to guard Your love."

She turned around and walked out, even though Su Sheng called her from behind, she didn't stop.In the meeting room, only Huo Ran and Su Sheng were left.

Huo Ran leaned on the back of the chair, crossed his slender legs, and said calmly: "Tomorrow, I will let Wen Yao testify in court."

Su Sheng was silent for a moment, then said in a hoarse voice, "Did I let my sister down?"

Huo Ran stood up: "You made her sad." He turned around and was about to leave.

Su Sheng said softly: "I know you, I saw your photo in my sister's album."

Huo Ran paused slightly.

"You like her, don't you?" Su Sheng's tone sounded very light, "But my father wants my sister to marry Brother Yan Ze."

Huo Ran's tone was calm, his eyes were dark and deep: "I will wait for her."

"Lawyer Huo, how do you want Wen Yao to testify tomorrow?"

"be honest."

Su Sheng asked again: "Will you investigate the truth?"

Huo Ran turned sideways and glanced down at him: "That's the police's business. Tomorrow Wen Yao will make an alibi for you, and my work will be over."

Just as he was talking, the cell phone in Huo Ran's pocket suddenly vibrated, and he quickly connected the call.After a while, his handsome face was cold, he stared at Su Sheng and hung up the phone.

"Wen Yao surrendered herself. She explained all the details of the crime at the police station very clearly and clearly!" Huo Ran's eyes were filled with emotions, "Su Cheng, haven't you told the truth yet?"

Su Cheng was stunned, his lips were pale, as if he hadn't reacted.

"Surrender?"

After a long while, he said in a daze: "What I said is the truth, and your guess is correct. At twelve o'clock in the evening, I saw Teacher Wen's Weibo post. I was worried that she would really commit suicide, so I hurried I went out. It was raining heavily at that time, and Teacher Wen’s apartment was very close to me, so I didn’t drive. The door of her house was locked tightly, but I knew she used to keep the spare key under the carpet, so I just Get the key and go in."

Su Cheng's voice was low: "Ms. Wen was lying in the bathtub with bruises all over her body. Liu Muyang beat her, and she even took drugs just now. If I was one step late, the knife would be cut The blood vessels on her wrist... I comforted her for a long time before she gave up on suicide. Then, after a long time, she answered a phone call, probably from Liu Muyang. I didn't hear what they said, she I broke down, cried for a long time, and suddenly hugged me..."

Huo Ran's voice was cool: "Did she have sex with you?"

"No." Embarrassment flashed across Su Cheng's face, "I don't want her to be in pain... She kept saying sorry, she said she would divorce and be with me, but she didn't want her to commit suicide tonight, The drug use is known by a third person, and I don’t want others to know that she is with me tonight, and I don’t want to damage her image. I understand her, she just wants to start over.”

He spoke faster and faster, and his expression became more and more painful: "But she turned herself in. She was with me during that time. It is impossible for her to go to my apartment and kill people. The murderer is not her."

It's time to meet.

"It's not for you that she pretended to be the murderer."

Huo Ran took one last look at Su Sheng, and said calmly: "If you lie, no one can save you."

In the winter evening, the sun was soft, but the air was cold. Su Yu walked up and down in the drafty hall, exhaling softly, his cheeks were bright red from the cold.

Huo Ran told her to go, and said by the way: "Wen Yao has surrendered himself."

Su Yu was slightly startled: "Wen Yao? Did she kill Xie Suixing?"

Huo Ran frowned slightly, glanced at Su Yu, and said nothing.

Su Yu also knew that it was a stupid question for him to ask—the murderer was killed with a knife. Judging from the wound and other conditions, the murderer should be a man taller than Xie Suixing, not Wen Yao, who was about the same height and strength as Xie Suixing.Then why did she suddenly say that she was a murderer?Could it be that she is doing it for Su Sheng?

Huo Ran seemed to have guessed Su Yu's flashing thoughts, and chuckled softly, with a strong sarcasm on the corner of his mouth: "Don't think too much, she was indeed with Su Cheng that night, if she just wanted to prove Su Cheng's Innocent, she can provide an alibi for him. What's more, when she surrendered, she explained the entire crime process logically and systematically, and all the details matched the crime scene. She cannot be the murderer. But she may know the murderer, To be precise, she has a very close relationship with the murderer. There is also a very strange point that she told Su Sheng all the things that she asked Su Sheng not to tell, so she asked Su Sheng to keep the things that night secret. It's not out of maintaining my own image, but because of another secret."

Wen Yao is taking the blame for others.The real murderer told her all the crime process, and then she fabricated the situation based on the real situation that night.

Su Yu asked: "How did she explain what happened that night? Who is the real murderer?"

Huo Ran took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took out a cigarette and bit it on his lips, tilted his head and lit it, not paying much attention: "I don't know, and it doesn't matter. She has surrendered, if the police are on her side After verifying the evidence, Su Sheng's case will be withdrawn, and the case will be over."

Su Yu nodded, still having some doubts.

Perhaps it was the habit left by her from working in the procuratorate before, she was always obsessed with the so-called truth.

Along the road in the twilight, two rows of trees backed up quickly, the black car drove towards the center of the city, and soon arrived at the law office.

Before entering the law firm, Huo Ran received a call from the prosecutor.

The man's voice was full of repressed anger: "Lawyer Huo, do you think that you can release your client by just finding someone to replace him?" He sneered: "You know that the suspect cannot be a woman, yet you still find someone else to replace him?" If a woman replaces you, I will sue you for perjury, and you wait for the indictment to be filed."

Huo Ran pursed his lips, too lazy to explain.

Qin Yu continued: "Did you go to the family courtyard to look for Wen Yao a few days ago? I don't know what method you used to threaten her, but let me tell you, this kind of behavior is very stupid. You go in with him."

Huo Ran put away his cell phone with a cold expression.

Su Yu put down the file and looked at him. She heard the conversation just now and was a little worried.

Lu Yuzhou knocked on the door, obviously heard it, and raised his eyebrows: "My God, when will Article 306 be abolished, it will be beneficial to lawyers, and the procuratorate will sue lawyers for perjury."

Su Yu didn't speak.

Lu Yuzhou handed the hot coffee in his hand to Su Yu: "The most wrongful thing was a case I handled before. I informed the defendant that he had the right to sue, and the prosecutor said that I provoked the confession; I read the client's statement for verification and was reported. Said that I lured the other party to give false testimony; I read the confession of the defendant in the same case, smiled, and was warned to pay attention to the expression, suspected of perjury..."

Su Yu thought it was funny, but didn't comment, after all, she was once the one he complained about.

It can only be said that the positions of each other are different.

Lu Yuzhou sighed for a while, then looked at Huo Ran: "What should we do with this case?"

Huo Ran was sitting on the sofa, looking down at the computer screen. Under the soft screen light, his somewhat cold face was also coated with a layer of soft light.

When he heard the question, he didn't raise his head, and said calmly: "Wen Yao's surrender is insufficient. Before I applied for a witness with the court, I did contact her privately. Qin Yu will not let this go. Besides, she is not murderer, and we will never see her again now."

Several people were silent for a while.

Su Yu said: "That is to say, only by finding the real culprit can we prove our innocence."

Lu Yuzhou frowned: "Where can I find it? Lawyers have limited right to obtain evidence. Most of the evidence that can be obtained and recognized by the court can only come from the case-handling agency, let alone find the real culprit? This is a matter for the police. Even if we find out, the police Whether or not the evidence is accepted is another matter."

Huo Ran raised his head, raised his eyebrows lightly, smiled, and suddenly said, "It's Liu Muyang."

Su Yu was slightly taken aback.

Lu Yuzhou raised a question: "Liu Muyang and Wen Yao's husband and wife relationship is so bad, and they even raped Wen Yao domestically. How could Wen Yao take the blame for him? Besides, why him?"

Huo Ran put the computer on the coffee table, and turned the screen to the two of them. On it was the survey result sent by Jian Yanxian.

Su Yu's heart shrank, and a nausea surged up from the bottom of his heart.

Liu Muyang once registered an account on a certain pornographic website and posted many posts. There are many types of posts, including the "green slave" type, which specially posts photos of his wife for people to lust.Those photos were unsightly, and it was Wen Yao at first glance. Fortunately, Wen Yao's face was covered with mosaics; there was a "rape" type. He said that he was a university professor, and he often took the opportunity to rape and seduce students. Attached is a photo of a female student playing a mosaic.It’s been a while since the latest post. It was only updated until he said that he was going to rape tonight, and he also posted a photo of the female student’s back, but the update was not finished. Unlike other posts, there are rape results and pictures.Many users were anxious to wait, and left messages urging the host to post the result picture quickly.

Su Yu found Xie Suixing's photo from the information on the table, and compared it with the back view secretly taken in the post.

She clenched her fingers, faint veins floating under her fair skin.

The time Liu Muyang posted was the day Xie Suixing died.

So that night, after beating his wife, did Liu Muyang decide to rape Xie Suixing, but failed, and killed her by mistake or on purpose?Then the reason why she died in Su Sheng's apartment in the end, could it be that she was very scared and wanted to ask Su Sheng in the opposite apartment for help, but when she ran there, Su Sheng was not there?
The room fell silent.

Huo Ran probably saw what Su Yu was thinking, with an indifferent expression, and said: "This can only prove that he has the intention of rape. The post did not update the result, and it cannot prove whether he really went to Xie Sui Xing's apartment that day. And the post did not The reason for the result may be that Liu Muyang did not succeed, or it may be because Xie Suixing died and he was unable to implement it. Or, Liu Muyang can also completely deny that he will actually commit rape, only need to admit that he has a penchant for adultery, because most pornographic websites The posts on the website are all obscene fabrications."

Lu Yuzhou suddenly said, "Assuming that Liu Muyang really killed Xie Suixing, but Wen Yao ran to take the blame, is it because she was threatened? For example, the old man at home?"

"It's possible." There was a trace of coldness in Huo Ran's dark eyes.

So many clues lay out in front of several people.

He said unhurriedly: "Wen Yao should have known that Liu Muyang had killed someone as soon as the case happened. Perhaps because of being threatened, or for other reasons, she agreed to Liu Muyang to frame Su Sheng. Because Su Sheng said that she After answering the call from Liu Muyang, he broke down first, then suddenly said sorry to Su Sheng, and then showed his love, and hoped that Su Sheng would not tell others what happened that night. Once Su Sheng did not tell what happened that night, he would Without an alibi, all the evidence at the scene will form a chain of evidence pointing to him, and he will become the biggest suspect."

If Liu Muyang really has rape experience for many years like the self-report in the post, then he has the ability to leave no trace, plus the heavy rain and power outage that night...

Only Su Cheng was stupid and foolish, thinking that Wen Yao just wanted to start over, and tried his best to help her conceal what happened that night, but fell into the trap of this couple.

Su Yu pursed her lips: "If it can be proved that Liu Muyang went to Xie Suixing's apartment that night..."

Huo Ran's face was calm: "It's been too long, even if there are fingerprints, we can't extract them. What's more, Xie Suixing's apartment is now lived by her mother, and her mother will not allow us to enter."

Lu Yuzhou said: "I really didn't expect that Liu Muyang, who seems serious and popular with students, would have such a habit."

Su Yu fell silent, his face pale.

Could it be that Liu Muyang, who is the most suspected, is going to get away with it, but Su Sheng is going to be imprisoned?
But she also knew that these evidences were not enough to convict Liu Muyang. For the police, Su Sheng was the suspect with solid evidence, and it was impossible for them to spend more police force on possibly useless investigations just for these speculations.

Lu Yuzhou ordered takeaway.

While eating, Su Yu glanced at her phone, and suddenly remembered that she forgot to send Chen Yanze her location.

Just as she was thinking about it, a text message from Chen Yanze came.

"Ayu, I'm downstairs in the law firm."

Su Yu put on a scarf and ran downstairs.

Su Yu came out of the warm room, and the cold air pierced into her body like needles. Her nose was cold, probably covered in fog, and her black eyes were sparkling.

Not far away, street lamps were turned on one after another, illuminating the long street, and there were fine dust undulations in the air, hazy.

Under the orange light, stood a tall and straight figure.The man was wearing a neat suit and looked at her with bent eyes.

Su Yu ran over, the tip of his nose was a little red.

Chen Yan saw that her scarf was about to fall, and wrapped her scarf around again with his slender fingers, with a gentle voice: "Is it cold?"

Su Yu shook his head: "Why are you here?"

"I see you haven't answered my calls. Now I'm free, so I came to see you. Besides, I'm also worried about Ah Cheng." Chen Yan asked, "How is it now?"

Su Yu: "It's okay, Ah Cheng didn't kill anyone, he shouldn't be sentenced, the court will give him justice."

"Uncle Su is also worrying about Ah Cheng these days."

Su Yu lowered his eyelashes.

The two talked for a while, Su Yu's hands and feet became cold because of the cold.She has always been afraid of the cold, and in winter, she can't wait to turn herself into a small animal and start hibernating.

Chen Yan suddenly bent down, stretched out his long arms, hugged her in his arms, and wrapped her in a long black dress.

Su Yu's nose was full of his warm breath, she was taken aback for a moment, and then wanted to push him away.He said, "Don't move, I'll hold you for a while to give you strength."

Outside the building, behind the tall gateposts.Huo Ran leaned slightly on the pillar, lowered his head, lowered his eyes, took out the lighter, and with a "click", the flame jumped up lightly, licking the smoke between his lips.

The fire light illuminated his chiseled face for a moment, and then went out for a moment.He pursed his thin lips tightly, and sarcasm loomed in his dark eyes.

For the next day's trial, Huo Ran had to work overtime, and Su Yu also worked overtime.

The result of Lu Chi's investigation was that Wen Yao's husband had a problem, and Su Sheng had feelings for his teacher Wen Yao.That night, Su Cheng went to see Wen Yao, but because of Wen Yao's reputation, he refused to say anything.But Wen Yao's husband, Liu Muyang, is a blogger on a pornographic website. He often secretly takes pictures of students, and he also covets Xie Suixing. On the night Xie Suixing died, he followed Xie Suixing.

But now that Huo Ran and the others had no relevant evidence, Wen Yao suddenly took the blame for her husband, but she clearly couldn't be the murderer.

In this case, Su Sheng would become the scapegoat with the most evidence.

Liu Muyang was planning to frame Su Sheng, and felt that Su Sheng's side might not succeed, so he simply forced Wen Yao to pretend to be the murderer to replace him. Now he has discarded Wen Yao's chess piece, and he should have Wen Yao's handle in his hands. That's why I'm not afraid of her telling the truth.

Su Yu suddenly thought of something, and looked at Huo Ran with black eyes.

Huo Ran looked stern, expressionless, and had a cold aura around him.Su Yu didn't know why, he seemed to be in a bad mood since dinner time.

Su Yu said: "If Liu Muyang is to give Su Cheng an alibi, Liu Muyang will definitely be willing, and he wants Wen Yao to take the blame now."

There was no emotion in Huo Ran's tone: "Perjury?"

Su Yu pursed his lips, his gaze firm.

Lu Yuzhou disagreed, with frost on his brows and eyes: "Don't say that this is against professional ethics, just talking about the prosecutor in this case is enough to make you drink a pot, and you will lose your job!"

Su Yu lowered his eyelashes, with haze in his eyes: "But, there is no other way to save Ah Cheng."

The next day, Su Yu, Huo Ran and Liu Muyang entered through the back door of the courthouse. Huo Ran took a look at Su Yu and left.Liu Muyang and Su Yu stood at the end of the corridor, waiting for the trial.

Su Yu wore a pair of black sunglasses that covered half of his face, only showing a small upturned nose and red lips. He was wearing a creamy white fragrance coat with a white shirt inside and a black skirt, revealing With well-proportioned fair legs, wine-red pointed high-heeled shoes hit the floor, and a small black-gold bag was slung over her shoulder.

She took off her sunglasses, and her indifferent eyes fell on Liu Muyang.

Liu Muyang was still the same as the last time we met, wearing a black suit and tie.

He really promised to come.

Su Yu's brows and eyes stretched, and the end of his eyes slightly raised: "Mr. Liu, you should know what to say later, right? That night, Su Sheng was with you, and you asked him to help. He has an alibi. Huo Ran does not agree with my approach, I have already fired him, and the Su family's lawyer will come later."

Liu Muyang smiled politely, but was too cautious to say anything.

Su Yu smiled slightly, her eyes twinkling: "You have come here, which means that you are moved. Is it meaningful that you don't make any guarantees now? Smart people naturally know how to choose." Her eyes darkened: "You Knowing the abilities of the Su family, it is impossible for the Su family to let Su Sheng go to jail, besides, you know better than me whether Su Sheng is a murderer, Liu Muyang."

The smile in Su Yu's eyes slowly faded.

Liu Muyang's expression changed slightly, his voice was soft but stern: "Miss Su, don't talk nonsense."

Su Yu was too lazy to act, and looked straight at Liu Muyang, a little impatient: "I don't care if you are the real murderer, and I don't care why your wife Wen Yao is going to take the blame. I just want Su Cheng to be released without guilt, and I want Wen Yao to be a seductress." My brother's woman will never get out of prison. So if you are a smart person, you should understand that all you have to do is testify that Su Sheng was with you that night, let him have an alibi, and he was with you , naturally broke the scandal between him and your wife, and the Su family's face was saved anyway."

Liu Muyang didn't say a word.

Su Yu's eyes were dark, and his voice was cold: "If you don't testify in court later, then I guarantee that the police will know immediately that you killed Xie Suixing."

She took out her mobile phone and tapped it a few times. The screen of the mobile phone displayed Liu Muyang's personal page on a pornographic website. She said, "Don't argue, I have checked your IP address."

Liu Muyang was taken aback for a moment, and when he saw the content on the phone screen clearly, his expression became completely gloomy, and frost formed in his long and narrow eyes.

He narrowed his eyes, and his tone was unhurried. He believed in the way he handled the evidence: "Is there only this one account? Do you think you can report me for murder? I can definitely say that browsing pornographic websites is just my hobby."

The corners of Su Yu's mouth curled slightly, and the tails of his eyes lightly raised: "Yes, of course you can have hobbies, but as a university professor, you don't want everyone to know that you have left so many traces on pornographic websites, do you?" She He added, "It's not a big problem to watch pornographic videos, but if you have a perverted habit, secretly take pictures of students, and have an ambiguous relationship with students, if I let the media fuel the flames, it will be enough to ruin your reputation? Even if you can't go to prison, you won't Can't be beautiful."

Liu Muyang clenched his fists.

The chill in Su Yu's eyes deepened, and there was a smile in his tone: "Can Teacher Liu bear this kind of consequence? Even if you can bear it, can your elderly parents bear it?" She paused, "Of course, Teacher Liu You should also be aware of the power and status of the Su family, maybe the Su family can't get Su Sheng out of prison, but it shouldn't be a big problem for the Su family to bring down a professor and his ordinary family."

She was already threatening him.

"What do you want?" Liu Muyang's voice squeezed through his teeth.

"My request is very simple." Su Yu said, "In fact, I have other evidence in my hand, but I don't plan to submit it, because the so-called truth will only disclose the improper relationship between Su Sheng and your wife, and make Su Sheng's life more difficult. Bearing the taint, let the Su family lose face. Now the group's stock price has fallen sharply. My father's idea is to stop the loss in time. As for who the real culprit is and whether the real culprit can be imprisoned, it is not something we care about. "

Liu Muyang smiled: "I really can't imagine that this is what a person who studies law said, and it's also hard to imagine that Lawyer Su was a prosecutor before."

Su Yu pursed his lips and frowned, obviously disliking his words.

"You want to threaten me with the mistakes I have made?"

The tone of her speech was disgusted and contemptuous. The public opinion has passed for so long, and the eldest lady of the Su family who does not eat fireworks has long been impatient.

"Mr. Liu, let me tell you one last time. My patience is limited. You can choose to cooperate with me, or you can choose to keep your wife and let Su Sheng go to jail. Of course, then don't blame me for breaking the net, and hand over the evidence."

Liu Muyang's eyes were full of dangerous sharpness, he squinted his eyes, looked at Su Yu with sharp eyes, clenched his fingers tightly, and the veins on his forehead protruded.

"What evidence do you have?"

"You don't have to worry about it. I don't have the original evidence with me, but Huo Ran accidentally found one of your fingerprints in the house, and your DNA was also detected in Xie Suixing's fingernails. If Teacher Liu doesn't believe it, I will You can take a gamble."

Liu Muyang is not a gambler, he is just a pervert.He tensed up all his nerves, and looked at Su Yu for a long time, probably weighing it up.

Su Yu's face was calm, and it was difficult to distinguish expressions.

After a while, Liu Muyang threatened coldly: "If I find out what kind of tricks you are playing, I will kill you." He said, approaching Su Yu.

Su Yu's eyebrows moved slightly, and he smiled: "Is it like you killed Xie Suixing?"

Liu Muyang didn't know what he thought of, raised his eyebrows, and a dark light flashed in his eyes: "Yeah, the woman is disobedient, once the knife is stabbed, she will be quiet, only the pair of godless eyes will stare at people, how good it is to die .”

"You want to kill Wen Yao with me now, don't you?"

Liu Muyang laughed loudly: "Wen Yao should die too. She not only betrayed me, but also seduced others. However, she is still valuable, and I want her to grow old in prison." His cold fingers gently Caressing Su Yu's chin, it was like a wet and cold snake crawling gently, it was creepy.

"Look at your eyes, how charming." He rubbed his fingers, and then paused at her Adam's apple, "Your voice is so beautiful."

Su Yu didn't move, just smiled, his voice became softer and softer: "How did you feel when you killed Xie Suixing?"

"It's very comfortable." Liu Muyang smiled softly, and then his smile deepened. The closer he looked at Su Yu's face, the more beautiful he felt it.

"Lawyer Su, I helped you save your brother. What are you going to do to repay me? The last time I saw you from a distance, I wanted to tear your clothes..."

Liu Muyang got closer and closer, and his deliberately low voice sounded so eerie that it made people's skin crawl.

Su Yu said with a smile: "You are really disgusting." Her tone was soft, and such words were more like coquettishness.

"Hmm." His lips almost touched Su Yu's cheek, and he obsessively sniffed her breath.

"Do you always post live on your website that you rape someone?"

"It's kind of fun."

"Is it fun to rape Xie Suixing?"

"It's fun, but she was ignorant, so she almost let her run away. Fortunately, that kid Su Cheng went to have a private meeting with my wife. Hey, don't worry, I will help him with an alibi, as long as you accompany him Me, I promise he'll be fine."

"You can't guarantee it, because you don't even know that the face of the Su family is not that important." Su Yu's voice was calm and unwavering.

Liu Muyang was taken aback.

Su Yu suddenly pushed him away, pursed her thin lips tightly, the fear between her brows and eyes dissipated in an instant, and only the coldness remained in her beautiful eyes.

Her legs were straight and slender, and her eyes were so cold that it was frightening.She took out the recording pen from her bag and pressed the end button.

Liu Muyang immediately understood that he was overwhelmed by the woman in front of him.His gentle face instantly turned ferocious and sinister, he clenched his teeth, and the veins in his temples bulged: "Bitch!"

A cold light flashed before Su Yu's eyes, Liu Muyang took out a sharp knife from his coat, and stabbed Su Yu quickly and straightly.

"Bitch, how dare you fuck me! I'll let you die!"

There were screams and footsteps in the hall.The winter sun refracted on the blade, making it impossible to open one's eyes.Su Yu's eyes were blank, she watched the knife stabbing towards her, she seemed to be frightened, her feet could not move.

Someone not far away called her name loudly.

Su Yu took out the electric baton from her bag and waved it at random. The other party let out a scream, and her arm also felt a piercing pain.She clenched the electric baton even more tightly, hitting Liu Muyang hard again and again.

She gritted her teeth, and the anger suddenly came up in her heart. Su Cheng's suffering in prison was all because of him, and he harmed several families.

Liu Muyang curled up on the ground, electric current passed through his body quickly, and he kept twitching.The electric baton in Su Yu's hand broke in two due to the force.

The man's strong arms wrapped around her waist, tightened, and his steady voice reached her ears, soothing her restless nerves: "Su Yu, calm down."

Only when he called her name, the ending sound would rise slightly, with cynicism and laxity.Only when he called her by her name would it bring her a sense of security.

Light and shadow flashed in front of his eyes, Su Yu slowly restrained his trembling, only feeling that all the strength in his body seemed to be drained.She turned around and fell into Huo Ran's arms, let go of her hand, and the electric baton fell to the marble floor.

Her nose was full of his smell, and a sense of fear surged up.She hugged his tight waist tightly, her nose sore: "Huo Ran."

"Well, I'm here."

Huo Ran's fingers slowly inserted into her black hair, and the soft long hair was wrapped around the fingertips, with an indescribably soft touch.

He held her head up and made her look up.

"It's okay." His voice was low and hoarse, his eyes were deep, "Don't be afraid."

Her eyes were covered with a thin mist, she was really afraid.
