Today Should Be Preferred

In the face of no evidence, Shu Tinglan could not believe what Xu Wei said, so she continued to ask:

"Since you didn't kill the person, how do you know so many details? The victim's home had your footprints, and the twine that strangled the victim was also found in your home."

Footprints and hemp rope were all important evidence that the organ handling the case convicted Xu Wei at that time.

At this time, Mother Xu stopped crying and replied for Xu Wei

"Attorney Shu, 18 years ago, on our street, every household had a pair of Jiefang brand cloth shoes, not only Xu Wei. There was also the hemp rope, which was also used by every household to tie things to relatives during the New Year. "

Shu Tinglan looks at Xu Wei

: "Is that what your mother said?"

"Yes."

Shu Tinglan remembered it again, and then asked

: "Why did you pass by the victim's door that night?"

"That night, I didn't pass the victim's door at all. I was drinking with a few friends in an abandoned factory building. I had an abject witness. I passed by her door the next morning because the door was open. So, I just glanced in with more curiosity." It was this look that caused trouble to the upper body.

After a day of investigation, the people from the investigative agency got feedback from their neighbors. They said that they saw Xu Wei probing his brain at the victim's door early in the morning, and he was sneaky and suspicious. Only then did the investigative agency target Xu Wei's body. .

"In that case, the investigative agency asked you where you went when the crime happened. Why didn't you tell me the first time, but hesitated?"

"I said later, because the previous night, I was discussing stealing cables with a few friends in the abandoned factory. All my friends stole the cables. I didn't go because I was afraid. I got up so early the next day, It was because they were worried that they had an accident and stayed up all night, so they got up early in the morning to take a look."

"When I was first arrested, I thought the question was about stealing cables, so naturally I couldn't betray my friends, so I didn't make it clear. When I later learned that it was a homicide, I said it, but no one believed it."

I see!

He stubbornly refused to say where the incident occurred on the night of the crime. The next day he sneaked around at the door of the victim's house. In addition, there were shoes and hemp rope of the same type at the scene of the crime. All of this led to his most suspicion. .

Even though 18 years have passed, Xu Wei is still very excited when he talks about the scene at that time

"I was wronged. They kept interrogating me, beating me, and forcing me to admit that if I didn't admit to killing people, I wouldn't be able to live today. But now the real murderer Wang has not come out to admit his crimes, why can't I let me go? Get out!" Xu Wei looked dumb after the long prison sentence. When answering questions, he didn't dare to look at Shu Tinglan. Only when he said the last few words, his eyes flashed with a gleam of survival and freedom. .

Mother Xu kept crying and comforted

"My son, Mom will definitely save you... Attorney Shu will help us."

After coming out of prison, Xu’s mother has been very emotional. In the past few years, she has been visiting, asking a lawyer, and looking for media reports. In the end, she didn’t stop. Now even the real murderer Wang has appeared, but she The son is in prison and still has nowhere to redress the grievances. Attorney Shu is the life-saving straw for her and her son.

The case needs to be taken step by step. It is not easy to get the court to try again first. If the case is tried again, it is equivalent to indirectly admitting that there was torture, interrogation, extortion, and confession 18 years ago, and indirectly admitting the court’s judgment. It was an unjust, false and wrong case, and it was a great challenge to their credibility. No one at the court was willing to take the lead to retry this case. They had always dealt with Xu's mother with a kick-ball attitude, and the lawyers in the middle changed one after another.

When Xu's mother came out of the prison again, she went straight to the court and lay upright on the steps outside the court. She cried a few times at first, but then she couldn't get out and lay down.

Shu Tinglan couldn't move her, and couldn't persuade her. He was afraid that she would suffer heatstroke while lying down like this, so he called Xiaoxin too. She stood under the scorching sun for a long time, and she was wearing black clothes, which absorbed heat, sweated all over her body, and the hair on her head was also sweaty.

At this moment, a shadow shrouded her head to block out the hot sunlight for her, and a bottle of chilled ice mineral water was handed to her.

She slightly raised her head and saw Zhuo Yuan, who was standing next to her at some unknown time, holding a sun umbrella and holding mineral water in his hand, with a calm expression.

: "Drink some water, don't get heatstroke."

The tone of his speech was so common as if the two had never been apart for several years.

When Shu Tinglan heard such a familiar voice, his ears were buzzing, and he subconsciously avoided him, avoiding his umbrella, preferring to stand under the scorching sun.

When Zhuo Yuan saw her now, he felt distressed and didn't want to force her to continue to pass her water.

She treats him as air and does not answer or look at him.

"Ting Lan, we are still friends at least."

Once in love so much, even if you can't become a lover, you can at least care about her as a friend. In the three years since he disappeared, he has regretted that he shouldn't have left.

friend?

Shu Tinglan has always been very calm because of his words suddenly aroused a wave of hatred.

When the divorce was completed at the beginning, when he refused to leave, he could not be a friend;

After her mother is ill, she finds it hard to ask him for help and finds out that she has been blacked out, it is impossible to be a friend;

When the children were sick, she would not be friends when she was holding the two children in the hospital day and night.

She looked at Zhuo Yu'an, and she thought why? You disappear if you want to disappear, and come back if you want to come back. There is no such good thing in the world.

She took a deep breath to calm herself

: "Mr. Zhuo, I'm working, please don't disturb."

All the resentment was hidden in her heart and she didn't want to say a word to him.

Of course, there is another reason. She doesn't want anyone in the Zhuo family to know the existence of the children. She just wants to stay away from them. In her life, except for the children, there is really nothing left, and the children can't make any mistakes. .

Therefore, as long as the child is involved, anyone is her imaginary enemy.

At this time, Xiaoxin, who had been taking care of Xu's mother in front, suddenly exclaimed

"Lawyer Shu, come here soon. Mother Xu seems to be suffering from heatstroke." Mother Xu on the ground turned pale, with big sweats on her forehead, and she felt sick and vomiting from time to time, but she was stubborn and couldn't get up. No matter how Xin helped her, she didn't get up.

Hearing this, Zhuo Yuan came over a step earlier than Shu Tinglan, and naturally handed the sun umbrella to Xiaoxin so that she could be blocked by Xu's mother, and then helped Xu mother to drink the water in his hand.

He was very strong, and Xu's mother was dizzy again, and it was useless to want to go on a hunger strike. Zhuo Yuan directly helped her up and gave her a sip of cold water.
