The extremely serious criminal case that shocked City D five years ago was finally reopened today, five years later, and was tried in a manner that the citizens could not imagine. Why didn't you expect it? Because everyone thought that the person who should be sitting in the dock was
The young and promising Mayor Si, but what no one expected was that it would be his father who came out!
The auditorium was already filled with waiting people, and it was packed. This high-profile case attracted the attention of all the dignitaries in City D. The first three rows of seats were filled with prominent figures among the dignitaries in City D, including the Lang family and the Zhang family.
, and many representatives of the family came.
The mother and son of the Si family sat in the middle of the front row.
From Shu Ran's point of view, Si Lan, who had been temporarily detained for eight days, had become haggard. Although he was still sitting upright, his pale face and slight frown from time to time showed that he was full of anxiety.
and uneasiness.
Shang Qingwen would not be absent from today's trial, so she also came over. At first, Shang Qingwen was unwilling to bring her over and asked her to just watch the live broadcast in front of the TV. But he couldn't stand her persistence.
After she repeatedly promised to take good care of herself, she agreed to follow him.
The huge trial hall was already packed with people, and Shu Ran also saw Nie Zhanbai sitting in the front row in the crowd. The middle-aged man sitting next to him was the one she met in the mall before.
Shu Ran didn't know the identity of the man at the time. Later, after seeing it several times on TV, he realized that it was Jian Bingao, the airborne mayor of City D!
The atmosphere at the scene was a bit heavy. From the moment the court was announced, the entire scene became completely silent. It took almost more than an hour just to report the major case five years ago. The bloody murder case was once again revealed.
It is revealed that Nie's grandmother was burned alive by the fire, Nie Zhanbai was knocked unconscious by a collapsed pillar and became a vegetative state while trying to save others, and Nie's father died in prison. Although the reporter's words are mechanical,
But those who listened were shuddered once again.
The evidence listed one after another includes some photos and recordings from five years ago. These evidences have been verified by the court as valid evidence, and the prosecutor who verified them also said personally that the person who collected all these evidences is a genius.
, because there is a lot of evidence that even they can't think of how to integrate. How meticulous and rigorous logical thinking is required to find these evidences. When the evidences were presented to the court one by one, Shu Ran, who was sitting in the audience, felt in his heart.
The string was getting tighter and tighter. Although Shang Qingwen had already talked to her last night, and the so-called evidence that Nie Zhanbai said before might not necessarily be true, she was still nervous and afraid that there might be something wrong there.
Having one copy would be detrimental to Shang Qingwen.
When Shu Ran was nervous, she couldn't help but squeeze the hem of her skirt. A big hand next to her stretched out to hold her hand firmly, and the other hand patted her gently. She raised her face to look at the people around her. Shang
Qing Wen then gave her a comforting look.
Don't be nervous, it'll be okay!
Shu Ran took a deep breath, and when she looked back, she turned her eyes to the right front, but saw Nie Zhanbai sitting there turning his eyes as well. As soon as their eyes met, their eyes met unexpectedly.
They intertwined, and there was no trace of surprise in their calm eyes. They swept across calmly. Shu Ran retracted her gaze and turned away. For Nie Zhanbai, after listening to the case statement for more than an hour, for what the Nie family suffered
She could only express regret for these tragic experiences, feeling sad for the deceased, angry for the perpetrators, and sad for the people who were struggling in the situation and could not find relief.
Nie Zhanbai, who turned around, narrowed his eyes slightly. Although his face remained calm, Jian Bingao, who was sitting next to him, still saw some clues. He turned his eyes slightly, glanced in the direction that Nie Zhanbai was looking at just now, and looked away again.
He let out a low sigh.
This trial was the longest case in the history of City D, lasting more than five hours. In the end, the judge announced that due to the special circumstances of the case, the case needed to be retried on a different date.
"Are you tired?" Shang Qingwen held Shu Ran's hand. They waited until everyone was almost gone before leaving, fearing that the crowd would cause physical collisions.
"Not tired!" Shu Ran replied with a smile. She looked down at the steps under her feet and walked cautiously. When she came out of the court, there was someone waiting at the door. Shu Ran saw the familiar figure.
When the figure stood there, he paused in his steps and frowned slightly.
Nie Zhanbai stood waiting at the door. When he saw them coming out, his eyes moved. Shu Ran noticed that the smile in Nie Zhanbai's eyes was directed at Shang Qing beside him. She didn't understand what he meant.
At this time, there were heavy footsteps coming from behind. Shu Ran turned around and saw Si Lan walking out. Si Lan's bloodshot eyes stared closely at Shang Qingwen, and then turned to Nie Zhanbai. Among the three of them,
Her eyes flickered, and there was information in her eyes that Shu Ran couldn't understand. She only saw Si Lan passing by Shang Qingwen, his voice hoarse and low.
"I have something to ask you for!"
Shu Ran's heart tightened for no reason when she heard Si Lan's hoarse voice. Immediately following Si Lan, Zhang Chenchu, who had a strange look in his eyes, and Lang Run, who had a trace of anxiety on his face, all came out in unison.
He turned his gaze to Shang Qingwen, his expression was both sizing up and exploring.
Langrun walked to the end, and after watching Nie Zhanbai's car leave, he said: "Take my car!"
Shang Qingwen glanced at Lang Run and then at Shu Ran beside him, "I'll take you home first, okay?"
Shu Ran shook her head and refused almost without thinking, and tightened his hand. There was something in Si Lan's words that made her feel uneasy. She didn't want to go home and wait in anxiety.
Shang Qingwen looked helpless and had to take her with him. The car Langrun drove was replaced by a Volkswagen Bora, because as he said, his grandfather froze all his funds in order to stop his crazy experiments.
Everything that could be sold was sold and everything that could be mortgaged was mortgaged. Several sports cars were temporarily mortgaged to Zhang Chenchu. The cool Porsche he drove some time ago was also pawned to Shang Qingwen in order to borrow money from Shang Qingwen.
in the garage. Now, he, the second son of the Lang family who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, can't even afford to drive a BMW, so he can only drive a BMW.
But for Mr. Run, whose brain has been different from others since he was a child, just having a car to drive is enough. Whether you have a Lincoln, Porsche or a BMW, they are still the same. They have four wheels and there is no extra wheel!
"What car are you going to change to next time?" Shang Qingwen frowned as soon as he got in the car and asked Shu Ran to get closer by himself so that he could protect her as much as possible. How could the performance of the old Bora be as good as that of a Mercedes-Benz? He was still worried.
The driving along this road was not smooth, making Shu Ran uncomfortable to sit on.
Young Master Run, who was in the driver's seat, replied without hesitation, "Bicycle!"
Lang Run's answer was extremely serious, but when Shu Ran heard this, she couldn't help but smile. She heard Shang Qingwen say that Mr. Lang had used all the money he could buy and mortgage to raise funds for the experiment.
I have used it, from driving a Lincoln Porsche to an old Bora, and without hesitation, I said that I was so poor that my next step was to ride a bicycle!
When Shu Ran smiled, she realized that she shouldn't laugh. It was too inappropriate. She hurriedly covered her mouth with her hands, thinking that Lang Run would get angry. In the end, Mr. Lang turned his face and looked at her first and then at Shang Qingwen. He was very rude.
He spread his hands and said, "Shu Ran's smile is worth a thousand pieces of gold, Qing Wen——"
His movement of spreading his hands was free and easy, and his expression was natural. Shu Ran didn't understand what he was doing when he opened his hands towards Shang Qingwen at first. Then he saw Shang Qingwen sitting next to him narrowing his eyes and giving a friendly reminder.
"Run Lao Er, your worth and face are not worth much now!"
This guy is so poor! He is extorting money in different ways!
"It doesn't matter whether my face is worth money or not. Some people's smiles are worth money!" Unless you admit that a beautiful woman's smile is worthless, Langrun stretched out his hand without intending to take it back. Shu Ran looked at him with one hand stretched out and a
Holding the steering wheel with only one hand, his expression and posture showed the determination not to give up.
It was only when Shu Ran watched Shang Qingwen take out a gold card from his wallet that he understood the meaning of what Mr. Lang said, 'A smile is worth a thousand pieces of gold'.
Just because she smiled just now caused Shang Qingwen to lose his fortune!
God, this is really killing people without showing any blood!
"Run Lao Er, when you reach your destination, please get out of the car. From this moment on, this Polara no longer belongs to you. Well, you can go look for your bicycle!"
Shang Qingwen spoke calmly. Langrun put the gold card into his bag and raised his eyebrows. Is it so awesome? How can I go back and crawl back?
Second Young Master Run once again realized deeply that in fact, opportunism can also start with Shu Ran. Look, when it comes to Shu Ran, how generous this guy is!
The iron rooster can also pluck out a few hairs!
－－－－－－
When they arrived at Si's house, Shang Qingwen got out of the car and took Shu Ran into the Si's villa. Zhang Chenchu's car was parked in the Si's garden. It seemed that Zhang Chenchu had also come over.
The three of them entered the living room. Zhang Chenchu had been sitting in the living room for who knows how long. He was smoking. Seeing Shu Ran come in, he consciously put out the cigarette butt, looked at Shang Qingwen, and pointed upstairs, "
He's waiting for you upstairs!"
Shang Qingwen nodded and signaled Shu Ran to wait here. He turned and went upstairs, but Zhang Chenchu behind him softly called him.
"Qing Wen, Si Lan's mood is very unstable right now. If he speaks excessively to you or does some extreme behavior, don't take it to heart. He is just-"
I just can’t accept it for a while!
Shu Ran's nerves that had just been relieved became tense again. The expression and tone of Si Lan's previous words, as well as the additional reminder from Lang Run when he got off the car, made her feel vaguely uneasy about what was about to happen.
Will anything happen?
－－－－－－－－I think the finale should be tomorrow, phew... The update is finished today－－－－－
