Her main work arrangement today is to visit the victim's family. It has been 18 years since this case. In the eyes of the victim's family, this is a matter that has long been settled. No one is willing to open the healed wounds again.
It had to be torn apart once, so before going, she was mentally prepared that it would be difficult.
As she expected, when she found Zhang Hua, a family member of the victim, based on the address given by Xu's mother, Zhang Hua's face instantly turned cold as soon as she understood her purpose.
: "Don't look for me. The case was closed 18 years ago and the murderer was brought to justice."
"Mr. Zhang might as well read some information first. Last month, the police arrested a rapist named Wang. In his confession, he admitted that he and his friends committed the crime 18 years ago." Shu Tinglan
Push the information in front of Zhang Hua.
Zhang Hua suddenly became furious, threw the pile of information away without even looking at it, and cursed angrily.
: "So what? It's been 18 years. It's been 18 years. My child is about to get married. I also have a new family. I don't want to deal with the affairs of 18 years anymore. You want to redress your grievances with whomever you want. Don't bother me.
I."
This is human nature. No one wants to open up the scars of the past bloody again, or 18 years have passed, and no matter how deep the relationship between husband and wife is, they are no longer different from strangers. Shu Tinglan can understand this.
Human nature.
But: "Do you really have the heart to let the real murderer go free? Do you want the mother of your child to die in vain? And Xu Wei spent 18 years in prison for his innocence."
"What does this have to do with me? Lawyer Shu, come on, come in and see what my house is like now?" Zhang Hua roughly dragged her into his house.
She stumbled in and the scene in the house made her stunned.
It was a very small house, only about 50 square meters. The living room was densely packed with things, and there was almost no place to stay. There was a bed by the window, and a young man was sitting on the bed, looking at her and smiling, not in a very normal state of mind.
"This is our son. He is 23 years old this year. If he hadn't seen his mother being killed with his own eyes, he wouldn't have been so frightened. If he hadn't become a fool, he has now reached the legal age of marriage, which is the time to start a family and start a business."
"Come on, come on." Zhang Hua opened the door of the only bedroom again, and there was another woman lying on the bed in the bedroom.
"This is my lover. He suffered a stroke a few years ago and is still lying in bed."
"Lawyer Shu, you said, with my life like this, I might as well just die. What's the point of redressing the injustice of a dead person?"
Zhang Hua felt that these lawyers didn't have back pain when they stood and talked, so why not eat the meat?
Shu Tinglan really didn't expect that Zhang Hua's current situation would be like this. The tragedy of that murder case lasted for a full 18 years.
"Lawyer Shu, please go and don't bother me again."
He pushed and pushed Shu Tinglan out of the door, and then closed the door with a clang.
Shu Tinglan sat on the steps outside the door and did not leave immediately. Naturally, she had unspeakable sympathy for Zhang Hua. His wife died tragically when he was young, his son became dementia, and he married again in middle age. Within two days, his lover
He suffered another stroke and was forced to stay in bed. The burden of the whole family fell on him alone, and he had no serious job, so he could only make ends meet by doing odd jobs.
In such a difficult life, who can care about the life and death of others?
But she was a lawyer, and she had to solve the problem when she came. No matter how sad she was, it would not help. She organized her thoughts again, and at noon, Zhang Hua appeared again. When she saw Lawyer Shu sitting on the doorstep, he looked impatient.
: "You haven't left yet?"
Shu Tinglan stood up and asked an irrelevant question
"Have you taken your child to the hospital?"
"What does it have to do with you?" Zhang Hua didn't answer. Back then, the child's mother was killed, and the whole family was in great pain. Later, they were busy catching the criminal Xu Wei, and no one cared about the child. When the matter was settled, the whole family
After my mood calmed down a little, I realized something was wrong with my child. He used to be so smart and lively, but now he is like this.
"I know a lot of good psychiatrists and can recommend them to you."
