First-Class Lawyer

Chapter 125 Past Events

"I'm not very good at complimenting people." Gu Yan said suddenly.

His voice was low and slightly hoarse.

Obviously it was Yan Suizhi who was remembering, but he seemed to have experienced it all over again.

He seemed to see Yan Suizhi in his memory when he was 20 years old became a little smaller, his brows and eyes were green, and his body and bones showed the thinness that is unique to young people when they are stretched out. He always stood outside the crowd, gentle and lonely.

"Huh?" Yan Suizhi responded.

"I'm not very good at complimenting, but you can tell me what you do in the future, whether it's funny or boring, kind or dark." Gu Yan said in a low voice, "I want to hear it. "

That voice even caused slight vibrations in Yan Suizhi's body, and the soreness like a rising tide flooded up again.

Yan Suizhi knows the taste by eating the marrow, and Yan Suizhi understands it thoroughly from Gu Yan.

This kind of Gu Yan made people unable to refuse, at least he couldn't refuse, and even always impulsively wanted to respond more.

Yan Suizhi suddenly sighed softly, and slowly relaxed his body.

For a moment, he closed his eyes, and felt that he had returned to that old house more than 20 years ago, living in a leisurely way. He was lazily leaning on the window sill, drawing sketches while drawing sketches. He half-truthfully said to the people in the room: "I encountered a little trouble two days ago..."

Strangely, in this moment of imagination, it was Gu Yan who was listening to him complaining in the room.

And he didn't feel bad about it.

Another car passed by on the floating road in the distance, and the headlights cast a light in the house before disappearing suddenly.

Gu Yan felt the chin resting on his shoulder move, which seemed to be a slight nod, and then Yan Suizhi let out a "hmm".

After a while, as if confirming this answer, Yan Suizhi said: "That medical case... I know you are curious. In fact, you don't have to be so careful. It's not something that you can't mention. I just don't know where to come from." Let's talk about it."

Originally, Gu Yan still didn't know the reason, but after hearing Yan Suizhi talk about the reason of his parents' death just now, he suddenly touched the edge.

Yan Suizhi's parents died of genetic surgery, and that case also involved genetic surgery.

Gu Yan said in a low voice, "That defendant..."

His voice was a bit hesitant, Yan Suizhi had already taken over the topic, and he gave a soft "ah", as if he had finally found the beginning: "The defendant, my client, Bill Lu...was involved in my parents' That surgery."

Things are so ironic sometimes, it took him more than ten years to suppress his inner suspicion because of his parents' last words.

And the relapse took only one day.

Similar surgical accidents, similar outcomes, related people.Even if there is no evidence, it is enough to make him fall back into the magic barrier when he was 15 years old.

It's as if the things that have been suppressed for so many years have finally found a place to vent, no matter right or wrong, as long as they can vent some.

He hoped that the defendant could go to jail, hoped that he could experience what all the victims had experienced, hoped that he could know what it would be like to walk alone for ten years, and hoped that life would pay for life.

He also wanted to go to the cemetery on Helan Xing and say to the people sleeping there, "Look, my suspicions back then were not unreasonable. You have taught me such a long list of things, shouldn't you get up and say something? Sorry? Although it's more than ten years late, it's okay, I'm very generous, and I can barely forgive you."

It's a pity that the person sleeping there will not really hear it, nor will he get up and hug him to apologize with a smile as he wished.

"Two days before I received the case, I could barely sit down and read the documents." Yan Suizhi chuckled a little self-deprecatingly, "That was probably the most unsteady time I have ever been. Finally, I was able to enter the documents , but found some loopholes in the prosecution’s evidence.”

Very subtle things may be missed by everyone in some rough judgment cases.

But when he saw it, it was hard to ignore.

Everyone who followed the case, including himself, acquiesced that Bill Rue was guilty.

But the existence of a loophole—even if the loophole is due to the negligence of the prosecution itself, it means that there is a one in ten thousand possibility that Bill Lu is not guilty.

And as long as there is such a possibility, he, as a defense lawyer, should defend it.

In those few days, Yan Suizhi locked himself in the bedroom and sat in the dark for a long time.

"In fact, I had a lot of vicious thoughts, deliberately ignoring those loopholes, and even using verbal traps to prevent others from discovering, or going around in court a few times, inducing witnesses to unknowingly say some false testimony, and filling in those loopholes. Loophole, if I want, there are actually many ways to nail the person to the dock." Yan Suizhi paused for a moment, then smiled vaguely, and said in a low voice: "Is it a bit dark? Actually, this is already my beautification. After a hundred times the result, I found that... Even if I tell you frankly, I can't tell you those things that are too dark."

"At that time, my mind was almost venting, and I thought of countless ideas. But..." Yan Suizhi sighed softly.

Gu Yan could feel him tugging at the corner of his mouth, as if he still wanted to try to speak out as usual, not so caringly, even with a hint of a smile.But the corner of his mouth slowly retracted, "That's probably not what the two of them want to see..."

"Look, I can't do anything about my parents. It's been more than ten years since I passed away, and I still don't want them to see those..."

He fell silent again, and after a while he snorted again, and said in a low voice, "It seems like they can still see."

He actually... always felt that he was not a good person.

But in the short and long ten years, he tried to live according to his parents' blessing, not doing too many outrageous things, not indulging in meaningless things, subsidized some orphanages and orphanages, and helped some People who insist on some justice that may be innocuous.

Then he suddenly discovered that these things had been engraved into his bones and blood unconsciously.

This is probably left to him by his parents, and he will never be able to get rid of it in this life.

"I stayed alone in the house for three days, and finally decided to plead not guilty." Yan Suizhi said.

He made a decision, and he wasn't happy about it.

Because he would send Karl Roux out of court.

"I was a little out of tune at the time. I didn't want myself to have a good time. I hoped that someone would scold me. Just think of it as... borrowing someone else's mouth to vent." Yan Suizhi smiled again, "I can't say it What kind of psychology."

That's why his attitude was particularly abrupt that time, and he said all kinds of stupid things to the outside world, bluntly and sharply, like a rebellious litigator who ignores justice and only cares about money and results.

Then as he wished, when he was at his lowest point, most people scolded him, punished him verbally, and even caused some deliberate harm.

What was the scene at that time, it is hard to imagine.

I don't want him to think about it carefully.

"I saw an unpublished report, saying that Karl Lu was put in the dock again later, and you went to that trial." Gu Yan changed the subject in a deep voice.

Yan Suizhi: "Yes."

Karl Lu was later involved in the case again. At that time, Yan Suizhi had been investigating him for a while, and anonymously submitted evidence to the police.

That time, the case involved was bigger and there was more evidence, and there shouldn't be any loopholes to be found.

"I checked a lot of things about him during that time. Unfortunately, I still couldn't find any direct evidence to prove that he was directly related to the death of my parents. But the result of that trial was not bad. One life pays for one life. For the plaintiff, it is an acceptable result." Yan Suizhi said.

On the day of the trial, he went alone, entered the courtroom at the beginning of the trial, sat quietly in the back row, listened quietly to Karl Rue's conviction of each crime, and then quietly left.

It was his 27nd birthday that day.

He still remembers that on his teenage birthday, the beautiful and gentle lady at home teased him with a dynamic camera, and the hibiscus branch he drew in the yard was slightly shaken by the wind.It was as clear as it had just passed.

Yet he has been walking alone for 12 years.

12 years seems to be very short, it has passed in the blink of an eye.

Sometimes it seems too long.

"Sometimes I think, it would be great if I found more evidence. Maybe my parents could also rest in peace in that court trial." Yan Suizhi was quiet for a while, and then said: "But this is actually a fallacy. Because the defendant pays for his life, I am the one who is really resting in peace, and the people under the tombstone have slept for so long, how could they still see it."

Gu Yan suddenly understood why he always washed his hands.

Just like when he was at his saddest, he would deliberately attract people to scold him.

He has been alone for too many years, and he is used to taking all the problems on himself. When things are not satisfactory, he will feel a little self-loathing, nail himself to the dock before everyone else, and sue himself. Sentence yourself.

But no matter what punishment he receives, he will always stand upright, because the road is still long, and he will have to walk alone for a long, long time...

There was silence in the room, and after a while, Yan Suizhi heard Gu Yan say in a muffled voice, "At least I can see it."

He froze for a moment, and moved away slightly.He saw that Gu Yan's eyes were covered with light in the night, and he looked at him deeply.

Then he felt his hand being held, the water stains from washing just now had already dried up, and also soaked in Gu Yan's body temperature, but it was still a little colder than Gu Yan's palm.

He saw Gu Yan lowered his eyes, lowered his head slightly and kissed his index finger...

Then the middle finger, ring finger, little finger...

Gu Yan kissed her one by one, and every time he touched it, Yan Suizhi's heart would suddenly soften, and in the end, it became completely soft.

He curled his fingers and said to Gu Yan, "Look up."

Yan Suizhi leaned over and kissed his chin, then the corner of his mouth, and finally his lips.

……

The night is warm, the stream is like water,

The birthday wishes from long ago sounded in his mind for the umpteenth time: We hope that you will always be carefree, without suffering any pain, without special growth, without understanding those complicated and contradictory things, and without making troublesome choices ...

Yan Suizhi closed his eyes, kissed Gu Yan, and was finally able to give an answer after 28 years——

I'm sorry, I don't seem to be able to do any of these things you hoped for.Fortunately, I was lucky enough to meet someone.

So don't worry, we'll be fine.
