[Traveling] Stepfather Clearance Plan

Something is wrong.

Since coming to this world, Xiao Neng can clearly feel that something has gone wrong.

...No, maybe it was wrong from the beginning.

What happened during that not-so-good time in college that he couldn't remember no matter what, in these ten years, half of it was forgotten, half of it was escaped, and he never seriously recalled it once.It seems that these things have been sealed in the darkest corner in my brain, locked in an old and dilapidated cabinet, and two big and thick iron chains are wrapped around the outside, so that I will never open it again for the rest of my life.

However, the heart still remembers.Those who are happy and beautiful, those who are lost and hesitant, those who are lonely, those who are suffering, crying, and despair.

I still remember.

He lost a precious treasure.He didn't know what that treasure was, he only knew that the place where the treasure was originally stored in his heart was still empty, and every time he accidentally touched it, it would make him cry with sadness.

Perhaps the final answer lies here.After a decade of escapism, it’s back to where it all started—the unfinished debut “Blues,” which, in a sense, might really have been meant to be.

Looking at the rapidly receding scenery outside the car window, Xiao felt a particularly tangled feeling in her heart.If that feeling could be summed up in one sentence, it would be——

What a hassle.

He ran away for 10 years. During these ten years, he had a house, a car, good food and drink, and a large number of fans bought his games and wrote his colleagues to publish his cosplay. The sales volume of genre game products has been ranked first for several weeks. Every time a signing is signed, hundreds of people line up outside the venue before dawn. When they see him, they will be so excited that their eyes will turn red and they will speak incoherently. The CEO of C head office personally toasted him.

--Good.

It's really good to be heartless.He doesn't care what he lost.

At least, he won't be so sad and flustered like he is now, and he won't cry every now and then.

Yue Chuan did not speak, lit a flame and inhaled slowly.Because the weather outside was too hot in midsummer, he only opened the car window by a quarter, and the smoke that did not dissipate in time enveloped the silent two.Xiao really felt a little bored, so he scratched his hair, rolled down a quarter of the window on his side, lit a cigarette, and began to read the few documents that Yuechuan had given him before.

His consistent principle is that if a thing fails to be done twice, it will not be done again.If you can't figure out something after thinking about it for 15 minutes, you won't think about it again.

No matter how one dies, one cannot die of aggrieved death.The old self is too tired to compete with himself.

Xiao has never tried drinking alcohol, in his imagination, it seems that drinking alcohol and smoking cigarettes have roughly the same effect, both have the effect of paralyzing the nerves.Sure enough, after smoking two cigarettes, he felt a little better.

What Yue Chuan handed him was a case-related material.Although Xiao didn't know much about the specific types and applications of legal documents, he had a general understanding of the case after reading it from beginning to end.The name of the defendant in the case was Lin Qiming. He and Lu Xun were not only colleagues but also alumni. He was a master student at the medical university that Lu Xun had studied before.The victim was his undergraduate roommate named Huang Haibo. Later, because of esophageal cancer, Yanyi was suspended from school and hospitalized as soon as he entered school.At the beginning of the year, undergraduate students went to the hospital to visit Huang Haibo, and the two had a quarrel on the spot. Lin Qiming held a grudge against this, and poisoned Huang Haibo's water with toxic chemicals from the laboratory, killing him.

Originally, Huang Haibo was suffering from advanced esophageal cancer, and his physical condition was already extremely poor. The doctors did not realize that he died of poisoning, and only characterized the cause of death as liver failure caused by chemotherapy.Later, Lin Qiming felt remorseful and tried to commit suicide twice by cutting his wrists. He was found by his friends and sent to the hospital to be rescued. He turned himself in to the police and confessed all his crimes.

Xiao sighed after reading it.Violent murders of college students have occurred frequently in recent years. From Ma Juefeng to Yao Xinyu, they were all caused by insignificant incidents. However, the cruelty of the methods has shocked the whole society.

He glanced at Yuechuan and said after a while, "You defend this person?"

Yue Chuan took a deep breath of the cigarette, and when he exhaled it, he seemed to sigh.

"This is pro bono representation. Lin Qiming himself did not hire a lawyer, because he might be sentenced to death, and the court needed to appoint a lawyer for him. The Legal Aid Association allocated it to us. I'm afraid I won't get a good reputation, so I'm going to be an unpaid agent this month no matter what. I'll just pick this one." His tone didn't mean much, it was just a simple and straightforward dissatisfaction with not having money to get it.

Xiao nodded to express her understanding. After all, she was a barrister who charged 2000 yuan an hour for legal consultation. Naturally, she would not be too interested in this kind of work that only paid 50 yuan a day as a subsidy.However, Yue Chuan's examination notes were extremely serious and detailed, which shows that he still fulfilled his duty as a defense lawyer.

"But why this one?"

"Because the defendant pleaded guilty." Yue Chuan said bluntly, "It's a free case. Of course, I have to pick this kind of indisputable case. It will save me trouble."

Xiao was amused by Yuechuan's serious and helpless tone.In the morning, I was still saying that I would not accept the case because there was no meritorious ground. In the afternoon, it became a matter of course to challenge the irrefutable case. Between coming and going, the most important thing is whether I have money or not.

Xiao used the time in the car to read the materials twice, trying to get familiar with the situation of the case.Yue Chuan said that he only needs to roughly record what the two parties said when he meets the parties next time, and make a transcript of the meeting.He was greatly relieved that he did not have to actually speak to the defendant.

It was 2:3 p.m. when we arrived at the detention center, almost half an hour before the appointment at [-]:[-] p.m. The two of them showed their identity documents and passed the security check, and then waited in an inquiry room inside.Xiao connected to the computer and studied the format of the document. After all, it was the first time writing, so he was still a little guilty.Yue Chuan was very disapproving, "Since the defendant turned himself in and pleaded guilty, what he said later will not be too different from what he said before. You can just find out the corresponding part from my examination transcript and copy and paste it."

Xiao also thought that this was a good idea, but she was too embarrassed to say it out loud, so she only said that he would do well and asked Yuechuan to leave it alone.

At that time, the police brought Lin Qiming in through the door.Seeing Lin Qiming's appearance for the first time, Xiao stared at him in a daze for more than ten seconds, only when he realized that he had kept his mouth half-opened, and quickly closed it.

It's too far from the image of a violent murderer!

Young people in the second half of their 20s have a very handsome face. Even though they are shaved in uniforms, they look a little tired, but they still can't conceal the gentle and sunny temperament of their whole body.

If this was seven or eight years earlier, he would definitely be a popular lover-type boy with excellent sports and all-round girls who lined up in school to find him as a boyfriend, right?Speaking of which, this two-dimensional style of painting is really in line with the world of "Blues".

Xiao silently shook her head.He had never studied criminal psychology, so based on his intuition, the Lin Qiming in front of him really didn't look like a murderer who would poison someone to death just because of a small quarrel with his classmates.If it is necessary to say that this person is some kind of criminal, perhaps high-tech financial crimes invading bank computer systems to steal huge deposits and the like may be more suitable for his aura.

Yue Chuan was also obviously stunned for a moment, but immediately returned to calm, and briefly introduced to Lin Qiming that he was a defense lawyer appointed by the court, hoping to learn some information about the case from him.

Lin Qiming was not enthusiastic when he heard that Yuechuan would represent his case.Since I didn't hire a lawyer in the first place, and I committed suicide twice in fear of crime, I may be bent on pleading guilty and obeying the law, thinking that there is no need to defend.Xiao pouted, thinking so in her heart.

Later, Yue Chuan asked some procedural questions about Lin Qiming's identity, the process of the crime, his defense, whether there was torture to extract a confession, and so on.Xiao was silently recording on the side. He typed fast originally, and he had read Yuechuan's marking transcripts in advance, so there were no major obstacles in the process.

It's just that there is a faint sense of inexplicable disobedience.

That feeling became more and more obvious as the conversation between the two progressed.Lin Qiming's conversation was very polite, his words were consistent and logical, and his expression was not flickering, but it just made people feel that there was something wrong.

... definitely has a problem.But what is it?

Xiao Yue felt more and more strange when he thought about it, so he stopped typing and closed the document.The conversation between Yue Chuan and Lin Qiming was still going on, and after the recorded file was closed, the previously opened examination notes made by Yue Chuan became the front window. Xiao listened to Lin Qiming's words while browsing the examination notes .

"I did this, and I have no excuses. I have been jealous of him since I was an undergraduate, and he would overwhelm me in everything. He was obviously incompetent, but teachers and classmates regarded him as a treasure. We lived in the same dormitory. On the surface, It’s buddies, but it’s actually a relationship that seems to be close to each other. Later, he was diagnosed with terminal cancer, and I was so happy that I couldn’t fall asleep for several days. At the beginning of the year, I wanted to see how miserable he was, but he was still as popular as before. , can still talk and laugh as a pistachio of being a classmate, and can also... I was upset when I saw it, so I decided to kill him."

When Xiaozheng saw a paragraph in the examination transcript, his ears buzzed.

[The criminal suspect confessed to the killing of the victim Huang Haibo. The excerpts of his original words are as follows: I did this, and I have no excuse.I have been jealous of him (referring to the victim Huang Haibo) since I was an undergraduate. (He) dominates me in everything. He is obviously incompetent, but teachers and classmates regard him as a treasure.We live in the same dormitory. On the surface, we are buddies, but in fact, we have a relationship that seems to be close to each other.Later, he found out that the cancer was terminal, and I was so happy that I didn't fall asleep for several days.At the beginning of the year, I wanted to see how miserable he was, but it turned out that he was still as popular as before, and he could talk and laugh as a classmate.I was upset and decided to kill him. 】

Except for the "can be" that didn't go on, there is not a single word wrong?
