companion ghost

The moment Shen Lie knew that the jury had reached the result, the muscles in his back tensed up.Ning Yuan comforted him along his back while looking into his eyes and couldn't help laughing.

Shen Lie belongs to the type that is prone to swelling. If he drank a lot of water before going to bed, his face would be swollen the next day, and his legs would sometimes be swollen when he woke up in the morning. Not to mention that he not only slept late last night, but also cried a lot. When I woke up this morning, my eyes were so swollen that I couldn't keep them open.

Shen Lie was very clear about his physical condition, but it was too much to go to the court in this state, so Ning Yuan could only ask Ning Yuan to ice him with a wet towel for a while.On the way to the court, even the car was driven by Ning Yuan. Shen Lie sat in the co-pilot, covering his eyes with worry.

In the corridor of the third court, they met Dino and Casey who had just arrived.

Casey and Dino didn't even eat in the morning, and after calling the nanny to let her come over, they drove to the court in a hurry. When they saw Shen Lie, they were surprised before saying hello.

They are not people who can't wink, they didn't talk much, and they asked about the case: "When will the court start?"

Shen Lie glanced at the text message sent to him by his assistant: "In 10 minutes."

Ten minutes later, Oston and Klein also arrived. Before they could say a word, the door of the third court opened, and the bailiff came out and told them they could go in.

Shen Lie took a deep breath and stepped in first, followed by Ning Yuan.

Klein looked at the door. The door of the courtroom was very luxuriously decorated, and the scales depicted on it were shining in gold. The door was still very heavy. Perhaps it was because of all the apprehension and fear that he had, it was a bit difficult for him to push it open.The moment the door closed, Klein grabbed the doorknob and failed to close the door tightly. He stammered to discuss with Alston: "I, I don't want to go in, I can't bear this—— this, I ——" His breathing was rapid, his chest heaved and heaved, and even his eyes were red, "I'll go out and wait—"

Auston immediately became serious. He put his left hand on the door and pushed hard, pushing the door tightly, and there was no room for rejection: "No, you have to sit in the review booth and watch that bastard with me Slag was convicted and put on trial."

Klein shook his head. Oston turned sideways and blocked Klein with his tall body. He lowered his voice to coax him: "It's okay, trust the law, trust me. You can only hear that he was convicted with your own ears. Only by seeing him in shackles with your own eyes can you really come out."

Auston hugged him: "I will always be with you."

Klein took a few deep breaths, swallowed, and nodded, "I see, I'll be with you."

Alston smiled at him encouragingly, and walked with him to the first row of the viewing booth to sit down. After sitting down, he touched Klein's right hand and found that it was cold and still trembling slightly. , so distressed, I held it firmly with my warm left hand.

Shen Lie couldn't wear sunglasses in court, so he could only expose his swollen eyes to others, but after a period of ice compressing, most of them had disappeared, at least he didn't look like he would lose his composure.

Lyon and Vincent passed him by, and then sat on his left. Lyon caught a glimpse of Shen Lie's eyes, and couldn't help joking: "The prosecutor cried bitterly about his future in advance."

Shen Lie sneered: "I'm not the one who will cry for his own future."

Leon put on a half-smile: "Sharp teeth, if you cry in court later, the District Prosecutor's Office will be ashamed."

Just as Shen Lie was about to retort, Judge Donovan tapped the gavel to signal everyone to be quiet.

Judge Donovan turned to the jurors and asked, "Is the jury unanimous?"

"Yes, Your Honor." The first juror stood up. She was a middle-aged woman. Shen Lie judged from her appearance that she might be of Mexican or Hispanic descent.She handed a blank sheet of paper with the results in her hand to the court clerk, and the clerk handed the paper that sealed Vincent Osterley's fate to the judge.

Shen Lie became even more nervous.

The last time I went to this step, I failed because the jury did not reach a consensus, and finally had to declare a mistrial. Vincent walked out of the court in a big way, enjoying his mansion and luxurious life, enjoying Klein's life. , and another child tortured in the sewers.And this time the jury came to a unanimous conclusion, which also proved that Vincent had no other result except guilt and innocence.The probability of winning has changed from one-third to one-half.

Judge Donovan opened the paper and closed it again: "How do you decide on defendant Vincent Osterley's charge of first-degree sodomy?"

The middle-aged woman, who might be Mexican or Hispanic, or not at all, looked at the defendant—Vincent was also nervous now, frowning, and there was faint sweat on his forehead.

"We find that the accused—"

Shen Lie bowed his back slightly, and clenched his hands on the table. From Ning Yuan's angle, he could see the blue veins on his forehead and the back of his hands.Klein, who was sitting in the jury seat, was pale and his lips had no blood in the slightest. He no longer had the weakness he had just entered the door. He stared at the red lips of the middle-aged woman, hoping that what he expected could be expressed there. a result of .

"--guilty."

Shen Lie let out a long breath, and after he was relieved, there was boundless exhaustion surging up from the soles of his feet.

Ning Yuan hugged him violently from behind, shaking his body ecstatically: "You did it! You did it! I said you can do it, we can do it!"

Klein raised his hand to cover his face, and took two quick breaths. A glistening liquid flowed out from between his fingers. Auston stroked his hair. After a while, Klein removed his hand. , covered his mouth, revealing those beautiful light purple eyes, which were still foggy with water vapor.

There was so much noise in the courtroom that Judge Donovan had to strike the gavel a second time: "Silence!"

After he almost calmed down, he looked at Vincent Osterley with a gloomy and black face from above his eyes: "The sentencing of the defendant will be held next week. The specific time will be notified separately. The court will be closed!"

After finishing speaking, two bailiffs with big arms and round waists and guns walked over and took Vincent away.Before taking him away, Lyon was still telling Vincent that he would appeal, but in fact he knew that the possibility of overturning the original judgment was too low.

The moment before Vincent Osterley was escorted out of the court by the bailiff, he turned his head and stared at Klein, his gaze was filled with a snake-like sticky and cold shadow.

Ning Yuan happily planned to drag Shen Lie out from the front door to have a meal to celebrate, but instead Shen Lie dragged him out the back door.

Ning Yuan was still very puzzled at first, but he patted his chest in fear when he saw the media at the main entrance: "This is too scary."

Shen Lie rubbed his hair: "Let's go through the main entrance now, and those reporters will be skinned for you."

Today's sunshine is very good, warm and not dazzling, it is a rare good weather in winter.At this time, Shen Lie felt the vibration of the mobile phone in his pocket, he took out the mobile phone and took a look, it was Lester from FBI White Collar Crime Division.

——Ready to close the net.

Shen Lie deleted the text message, threw the phone back into his pocket, raised his head and squinted slightly to see the court which looked more and more magnificent under the sun, lost in thought for a moment.

Ning Yuan saw him stop and asked, "What are you thinking?"

Shen Lie's heartfelt smile is beautiful, like the first buds sprouting from the branches in early spring: "After many years, I once again saw the purest and most beautiful appearance of the law that first attracted me."

Ning Yuan smiled and said, "Let's go, let's go eat something simple first, and then go to my house for dinner tonight. Mom has cooked a lot of dishes!"

Shen Lie suddenly remembered something, his smile gradually faded, he held Ning Yuan: "Xiao Yuan, before eating, I still want to go somewhere."

"It's you, again."

The blond boy's body has been cramped a lot in the past six months. Last time it reached Klein's chest, but now it's almost reaching his shoulders.

"Yeah, it's me again." Klein smiled at him, and pointed to the chair closest to him, "Can I sit here?"

"You are free." Stephen said indifferently.

Klein pulled out his chair and sat down, chatting with him gently: "No one usually comes to see you?"

"The blond police officer would come here occasionally," Klein guessed it was Casey, "I heard from the doctor that an Asian prosecutor would also come, but he never came to see me, he just asked the doctor about my recent situation .Maybe he thinks I'm sorry for losing the case, but in fact it has nothing to do with him at all, it's all my fault."

Stephen turned to Klein: "I decided to give up. I don't want anyone other than him to be hurt."

Who "he" refers to does not need to be specified.

"I'm here this time to tell you about it." Klein chose his words carefully, "He paid the price for what he did, and he won't hurt you again."

Stephen froze for a moment, and then he rushed towards Klein. The teenager's young and thin body burst out with amazing strength at this moment. He firmly grasped Klein's arms and asked sharply. : "Really?! You didn't lie to me?!"

Klein's arm hurt from being held by him, but he didn't struggle. He looked at the child tenderly, and repeated softly but firmly: "I didn't lie to you, he won't hurt you again."

Stephen let go of his hand, fell to sit on the edge of the bed, buried his face in his hands, and made a sound that he didn't know whether it was crying or laughing.

Klein looked at him for a while, decided to give him some time to digest, and walked out of the room lightly.

Just as he walked out of the room a few steps, he heard the sound of the door being opened behind him. Stephen hurriedly appeared in the corridor and stopped him: "What crime is he for? Because of what he did to me Those things? Did he do the same thing to someone else?"

Klein hesitated for a moment, without turning his head, he just waved his hand.

"That person has let go of the past and moved on, and so have you."

rikes women ' s prison

The female prison guard said something to the pager, and the prison door of a reception room in the prison opened electrically. Shen Lie thanked her, and walked in with Ning Yuan.

It is said to be a reception room, but it is actually a room with walls on one side and iron railings on three sides, with a table and three or four stools placed in the middle.The woman now sitting at the table, Louise's mother, tried to shoot Vincent's Lily outside the courtroom.

"Do you remember me?" Shen Lie asked softly, and sat down opposite her.

Lily looked up at him, stood up immediately, and was very excited: "Remember! You are the prosecutor, my Louis, my Louis—" she spoke incoherently, "Is there any turning point in the case?"

Shen Lie nodded: "Vincent Osterley was found guilty, the sentencing meeting is next week, and he is expected to be jailed for 10-15 years for betrayal."

Lily covered her mouth with both hands, and burst into tears with ecstasy: "Finally...finally! My Louis!"

She walked back and forth in the small reception room, and when the initial excitement of joy passed, she suddenly realized something, threw herself across to Shen Lie, and looked straight at him: "Why is my child's life only exchanged for him?" 10-15 years?"

"Actually," Shen Lie explained in a deep voice, "he was not convicted because of Louis. There is no new evidence in Louis' case, so we can't open the case again. This time, he was arrested because he committed another crime. Bring to justice."

"No, no, no!" Lily said no three times in a row, "It's not enough!"

Ning Yuan couldn't help persuading: "Lily, no matter who it is because of, he has now been punished to a certain extent, which proves that the law has given certain justice. This justice not only belongs to the new victim, but also belongs to Louis."

"No—!" Lily snapped, "What kind of justice? Where does justice come from? You just picked him up for a minor crime and tried to make me thank Dade? Impossible! This kind of justice is too ridiculous, Louis What about justice? Well? Who will give him? Who will give him!"

Shen Lie's heart, which had been drifting since he learned of Vincent's guilt, finally fell into his chest at this moment, amidst Lily's tears and screams.

"sorry."

He had nothing to say except to apologize.

"I don't want your apology," Lily shook her head, regaining the indifference she had just met, she turned around and called the prison guards back to the cell, leaving Shen Lie and Ning Yuan in the small and dim reception room.

After a while, Ning Yuan asked: "You just said that you once again saw the purest and most beautiful appearance of the law that first attracted me. Do you still think so now?"

"Yes," Shen Lie stood up and took his hand, "I still think so. It is precisely because the law is so pure and beautiful that we need to walk on the road to perfect it."

Shen Lie pulled him out of the dark Rex Prison, kissed Ning Yuan's forehead: "Come on, let's go home for dinner."

————End of text————

The author has something to say: It's really over.

With 40 seven characters, it is the first article that I have devoted all my heart and soul to.

Childish style of writing, logic that does not follow the preface, forgetting the foreshadowing in the past after writing...

Thank you for accompanying me for two years. From the initial collection of 0 to the current collection of 821, I was so busy that I wanted to give up this article several times in the middle. It was you who made me not give up and finished writing these stories.

There are regrets, there must be regrets.

But life is not all kinds of regrets.

I hope that every story I will have in the future will be accompanied by you. Carl is Casey's little angel, and you are my little angel.

The provocative talk is over!Advertisement time below!

Due to the end of the main text, small episodes will be released from time to time in the future. If you have anything you want to read, you can leave a message in the comment area. I will write if I see something I like!When writing a small episode, I will make a big change from the beginning, because I found that the timeline is really messed up...

Closer to home, the next book is the second "Day by the Sun" with ghosts, the main cp Dino Casey.Deputy CP Shen Ning, Alston x Klein.When I open the article, come and post the link!Below is the introduction!

Copywriter:

Casey, who lived with her sister in an orphanage since she was a child, resolutely gave up her high-risk job as an Interpol in order to raise her son after her sister died in the line of duty, and went to work as an ordinary police officer in the Homicide Squad of the Manhattan Branch of the New York Police Department.Unexpectedly, none of the Manhattan Homicide Squad known as the 'Elite Group' is a fuel-efficient lamp!

The most unpredictable thing is that his partner, the second in line heir of a veteran French nobleman, also came to be a little police officer?

I know, I know you French men are romantic, but please stop flirting with me, okay!

High emotional intelligence, good looks, will tease male god Gong (Dino) x has a dark past but is still sunny and healthy Little Sun Shou (Casey)

High sweetness, no abuse, long period of ambiguity, and super cute baby!

In the plot stream unit drama, the proportion of court cases and love affairs is about [-]. Due to the change of the main line cp, not every case will have a court session this time, and the unnecessary part of the court trial will be appropriately weakened.

Note 1: With a dark past, babies who have watched the first "Companion Ghost" will know it, but!There is a reversal!

Note 2: Do you think that a male god like Dino, who has no dead ends, will come here to be a small police officer for no reason?Oh, naive!

Note 3: It doesn’t matter if you haven’t watched the first part. When the main characters appear on the stage, they will explain the cause and effect clearly. As for the unit drama itself, there are not so many messy emotional entanglements =w=

——————The following is the timeline update————

Today I changed the timeline of the previous article, and I will sort it out here with the babies who have already read it.

In 2010, Casey took office in the British Interpol, and Dino was still in France, and the two met for the first time.Jesse gave birth to Carl;

Jesse died in 2012, Casey left Interpol with Carl, Dino left France, Shen Lie no longer served as a defense lawyer, and the three entered the Homicide Squad;

In 2015, Shen Lie met Ning Yuan in soul and body;

In 2016, Klein and the undercover Auston met;

At the end of 2017, Vincent went to prison, and the ghost ended.

After the modification, Dino Casey partnered for three years instead of five years, and nothing else has changed much!
