Today was the day when Bai Lanlan's trial began. Apart from Xu Qiurong, Pei Yuzhou and Shen Zheng also sat in the auditorium early, and Gu Zhiqing, who was temporarily released on bail, also rushed here early in the morning.

Bai Lanlan was sitting on the dock. She was wearing the school uniform of Yude Middle School. The bangs that had been covering her eyes had been brushed up by someone. Her neat hairstyle revealed the girl's smooth forehead, sweeping away Bai Lanlan's previous gloomy temperament.

Compared with a murder suspect, this girl who lives alone because her parents are not at home every day is more like a little white flower, delicate and helpless.

And the man beside her, Pei Yuzhou, was no stranger to him either. He was a well-known lawyer among city B's lawyers, and the price of consultation alone was beyond the reach of ordinary people.

When the trial started, Pei Yuzhou pulled Shen Zheng up and walked out: "Don't watch, let's go."

Gu Zhiqing, who was sitting in the back row of Pei Yuzhou, smiled softly: "Doesn't Officer Pei want to see the result?"

"It doesn't matter. In fact, my sense of justice is not very strong." Pei Yuzhou turned his head and said condescendingly, "And not everyone can be my opponent."

"Are you right? Lizzie Borden."

The smile on Gu Zhiqing's face froze, and Shen Zheng at the side saw the emotion called "anger" in this girl for the first time.

After the two walked out of the court, Pei Yuzhou stopped his hasty pace.

"What's wrong?" Shen Zheng patted Pei Yuzhou's shoulder, "It's rare to see you lose your composure like this."

Pei Yuzhou took a deep breath: "Xu Xin's death may have something to do with me."

Shen Zheng immediately realized that what Pei Yuzhou was about to say next was not suitable for public discussion, so he immediately dragged him to a nearby coffee shop that was fairly private.

"Well, it should be pretty safe here."

Shen Zheng was sitting opposite Pei Yuzhou. The two of them were seated in a corner, and they were completely covered by tall ornamental plants.

Holding the coffee in his hand, Pei Yuzhou suddenly said something inexplicable: "Do you know Liqi Borden?"

Shen Zheng shook his head, the name was obviously out of his recognition: "Who is that?"

"The heroine of a century-old unsolved case, as the first person to discover the death scene of her father and stepmother, Lizzie Borden has become a major suspect in the case."

"However, due to insufficient evidence and Lizzie Borden's elegant and good image, she won the judge's great favor during the trial and was finally acquitted."

"Afterwards, her story was adapted into nursery rhymes and included in a famous collection of nursery rhymes from Country Y." Pei Yuzhou tightened his grip on the cup, "By the way, she also has an older sister. After being acquitted, this The woman inherits the inheritance with her sister and goes away."

Pei Yuzhou smiled at Shen Zheng, but his blue eyes seemed to be frozen: "How is it? Does it look like this case?"

"You mean that Bai Lanlan and Gu Zhiqing are imitating this nursery rhyme to commit a crime?" Shen Zheng frowned, "But what is their reason for doing this?"

The matter had long been out of Pei Yuzhou's control, but due to his promise to Director Zhao and his worry about Shen Zheng, Pei Yuzhou could only blur the key information: "It should be instigated by a pervert who was after me. "

"This is not the first case related to a nursery rhyme." Pei Yuzhou paused, "I have already received two letters with different nursery rhymes."

"If nothing else happens, Bai Lanlan will be acquitted, and then I will receive the third nursery rhyme."

Although Pei Yuzhou spoke vaguely, Shen Zheng still guessed something. He thought he finally knew what Zhao Ju and Pei Yuzhou were hiding from him.

Maybe what they were hiding and what he was secretly investigating were the same thing.

However, such thoughts only appeared in Shen Zheng's mind for a second, and then he was worried about Pei Yuzhou.

Angry and worried.

Shen Zheng gritted his teeth: "Okay, Doctor Pei? Tell me only after the third song? You are also courageous enough, are you really not afraid to put your own life in it?"

Pei Yuzhou was speechless, and he couldn't say that he was really ready to put his life on the line.

If he really said that, Team Leader Shen would definitely explode in minutes.

Seeing the other party looking at him innocently, Shen Zheng couldn't vent his anger, so he sighed: "So, do you really not care?"

Don't you care about the death of the victim, the escape of the murderer, or your duty as a policeman?

Pei Yuzhou lowered his head and stirred the coffee in the cup: "I still really want to catch Gu Zhiqing."

Obviously Gu Zhiqing is the mastermind of this case, so it must be Gu Zhiqing who can have contact with "him".

As for redressing the victims lying in the morgue, that was just an incidental product before he achieved his goal, not his main purpose.

But Pei Yuzhou thought about the people in the special case team, and about Xu Qiurong's red and swollen eyes, and finally raised his head to look at Shen Zheng who was sitting across from him, who was somewhat disappointed.

What to do, he actually felt a little stuffy in his chest.

Pei Yuzhou opened his mouth, but rarely did he know what to say. After peeling away those sweet shells, there was a huge gully in the relationship between him and Shen Zheng.

Huge to insurmountable.

Pei Yuzhou silently withdrew his hand on the cup - I'm afraid he won't be able to enjoy Team Shen's intimacy and naturalness again.

But his hand was immediately held by another warm and dry hand.

"Why do you want to run when something happens?" Shen Zheng stared at Pei Yuzhou, and said threateningly, "Try running again?"

Pei Yuzhou tried hard to find traces of reluctance on the other person's face, but he found nothing, except for a little smile in the corner of Shen Zheng's eyes, he couldn't see anything.

——That was a sincere smile.

Pei Yuzhou's slightly tense back relaxed, and he pretended not to care and teased, "I thought you were going to break up with me."

"Break it if it's too big a problem?" Shen Zheng pretended to be angry, "Who do you think I am?"

He firmly held Pei Yuzhou's hand: "I don't want to change you, but I never want to let go easily."

This should have been a touching scene, but Pei Yuzhou suddenly laughed. He lowered his head and kissed the two hands lightly.

Well, for the sake of his team Shen, he will treat the profession of police well.

It started with Gu Zhiqing.

When the school bell rang, Jiang Yue was talking to her deskmate while packing her schoolbag.

"I heard that Senior Bai from Class One and Three will go to court today," said Jiang Yue's deskmate, a girl with ponytails. She approached Jiang Yue mysteriously wearing a pair of thick glasses. Is my sister the murderer?"

"I read online that she was wronged, and Teacher Lu is the real culprit."

Jiang Yue was not interested in this matter, she shook her head and said, "I don't know either."

Hearing Jiang Yue's words, the girl who asked the question became frustrated instantly: "Isn't your father a policeman? Why don't you even know?"

"That's my dad, not me."

After Jiang Yue finished speaking, she picked up her schoolbag and waved to the girl, "I'm leaving first, my mother came back early from a business trip, I want to go home early to see her."

"Your father is really kind to you," the girl lay on the desk with a look of lovelessness, "Unlike me, asking parents to help you ask for leave can only happen in dreams."

But envy is envy, she still smiled and waved to Jiang Yue: "See you tomorrow, be careful on the road."

"I know~"

Because most of the students were in a hurry to eat in the cafeteria, there were not many people in the teaching building. Jiang Yue's charming voice echoed in the corridor, revealing a childlike joy.

Jiang Yue, who walked briskly, turned the corner of the stairs, and immediately noticed the girl with a ponytail and a high school uniform.

"Senior Gu?" Jiang Yue immediately recognized that the other party was Gu Zhiqing, a famous figure in Yude Middle School during this time, and she couldn't help but stop when she saw that the other party seemed to be waiting for her, "Senior, did you come to see me? "

"Yes." Gu Zhiqing's expression was not very good, "There was an accident today, and I couldn't go to the court to accompany Lan Lan..."

She approached Jiang Yue anxiously: "I heard that Jiang Xuemei's father is a member of the special case team, so I want to ask you, how is Lan Lan?"

Jiang Yue was taken aback by Gu Zhiqing who suddenly came over, she couldn't help but take a few steps back: "I don't know, my father has a clear distinction between public and private, he won't talk to me about business."

Jiang Yue felt that today's Gu Zhiqing was completely different from the Senior Gu that she admired in the past, and she had never seen him lose his composure like this before.

And she never told anyone that her father worked in the special case team, how did senior sister Gu know?

The more Jiang Yue thought about it, the more something went wrong. She bypassed Gu Zhiqing and walked downstairs quickly: "My mother is still waiting for me, so I'll go first."

"I'll try to ask my father about Senior Sister Bai. Goodbye Senior Sister."

But she failed to leave as she wished, Jiang Yue only felt that her schoolbag was being grabbed by a strong hand.

She looked back, and Gu Zhiqing was looking at her with a smile: "Don't bother, let's talk now."

The slender fingers that played countless beautiful notes on the piano were tightly holding her schoolbag strap. Jiang Yue is worthy of being the policeman's daughter. She moved her shoulders nimbly, threw off her schoolbag and ran downstairs without hesitation Go, at the same time she did not forget to call loudly: "Is anyone there!"

"Is anyone here!"

Unfortunately, no one heeded her cry.

"boom!"

Gu Zhiqing calmly threw the schoolbag in her hand at Jiang Yue, taking advantage of the pain of the other party, she quickly chased after her, and immediately covered the girl's mouth.

"save……"

As soon as Jiang Yue opened her mouth, she smelled a sweet smell. She quickly closed her mouth to hold her breath, but that special smell still invaded her body, making her dizzy in a few seconds .

After an unknown amount of time, the hand covering her mouth finally left. Jiang Yue told herself to call for help, but she couldn't make any meaningful sounds.

She just felt that someone knelt down and patted her face, and the hot air from the other person's mouth gently brushed against her ears: "Are you afraid?"

"It's only because you got to know Pei Yuzhou."

Brother Pei?

This was the last thought in Jiang Yue's mind, and then her consciousness fell into darkness.

Gu Zhiqing stood up and patted on her clothes, then she put Jiang Yue's hand on her shoulders, as if supporting him while walking.

She exposed her face completely in front of the monitor that was about to close, and wantonly evoked a somewhat provocative smile.

"It doesn't matter? Pei Yuzhou, I want to see if you will come to me."
