i must be in hell

It was evening when Ning Xiao walked out of the office building of the criminal police team.

A man in a black coat was waiting for him at the door, and when he saw him coming out, he stepped forward.

"Hello, Ning Xiao."

The man was slightly taller than Ning Xiao, except for his pale complexion, he was well dressed and looked like an elite.However, when Ning Xiao saw this person, he was in a daze, as if there was some kind of omen in his heart.

"you are?"

He stared at the person in front of him.

The man smiled and held out his hand.

"Heye, your lawyer."

The lawyer assigned by the Legal Aid Center applied for a change in compulsory measures for Ning Xiao, so the suspect Ning Xiao can now stay at his home instead of at the police station.It is no different from before, except that it is still under the supervision of the police.

"Please use."

Ning Xiao put a cup of boiling water in front of the guests. "The house is shabby, but there is still enough water."

Lawyer He picked up the water cup on the tea table, a half-old stainless steel cup.

"It's true that wealthy people hire barristers from firms, rather than asking for legal aid."

Ning Xiao was a little surprised. "As a lawyer, you are straightforward."

"You're welcome. Many people think that my words are ruthless and often poke people's hearts." Lawyer He said, "That's why I'm here to provide legal aid."

Ning Xiao nodded clearly. A lawyer who speaks so ruthlessly is really not easy to get along in the industry.But he doesn't mind, anyway, the relationship between him and this lawyer is just a cooperative relationship until the end of this case.

"About this case, can you tell me your opinion?" Attorney He said, "It will help me to defend you when the trial is held. Of course, it would be best if the matter can end before going to judicial steps." but."

Ning Xiao hesitated for a moment.

He didn't know whether to talk about his thoughts, he didn't trust this person very much yet.

Lawyer He saw through his thoughts, put down his teacup and said, "I hope we can cooperate sincerely. To show our sincerity, let me talk about some superficial views first."

Ning Xiao sat in front of the lawyer. "Please say."

"First of all, I don't think this is a criminal case at all." The lawyer said surprisingly. "The deceased was suicide."

"...Why?" Ning Xiao exerted a little force on the fingers holding the quilt. "What evidence is there?"

"After the only possible suspect, that is, you, is ruled out as a suspect, the most unlikely possibility becomes possible. The murderer in this case is none other than the deceased himself."

"How to rule out my suspicion?"

"You might not believe it if you tell me." Lawyer He looked at him. "My sixth sense tells me that you are definitely not a murderer."

"A lawyer uses his sixth sense to judge the case, and you make me worry about my innocence." Ning Xiao said bluntly: "Unless you can use your sixth sense to convince the police, it is meaningless."

"Please don't worry, this is just a hypothesis." The lawyer said calmly: "It's like a game of exclusion, make a hundred hypotheses, overturn 99 of them, and the remaining one is the truth. In the same way, only make one Assuming that one hundred pieces of evidence are used to prove its truth, then the remaining 90.00% nine possibilities are false."

"For us, the only way to clear your suspicions is to prove that the deceased committed suicide." The lawyer smiled. "So that's my only hypothesis. It's a suicide case."

"How do you plan to prove it?" Ning Xiao asked, "If it was suicide, what was the motive?"

"I think it's going to take an exchange."

"comminicate?"

The lawyer blinked. "About the dead man's thoughts, we can only know from his closest people, don't we?"

"How to do it?"

"Arrange for you to meet." The lawyer said: "Then ask about the possible reasons for suicide."

"..."

"Don't worry, I will persuade them not to be rough on you." The lawyer stood up, "Believe me, I will do everything to protect my client." When he stood facing the window, his eyes were brown, looking against the light It was like a gem at the time.

Ning Xiao looked at the lawyer for a while, then nodded. "good."

"Then, I will arrange for you to meet tomorrow." The lawyer greeted him. "Let's say goodbye today."

When he got to the door, he suddenly turned around.

"By the way, I heard that when people are depressed and stimulated for a long time, they are most likely to have suicidal urges." The lawyer looked up at Ning Xiao. "If so, what do you think would be the trigger for Ding Yiyan's suicide?"

Before Ning Xiao could answer, he pursed his lips and smiled again.

"I was talking too much, take my leave, and see you next time."

The lawyer had already left, and in the empty room, only Ning Xiao stood silently.

What is the fuse?

Ning Xiao turned on the stereo, and the sound of the violin quickly echoed in the room, filling the whole room with the brisk tune of this piece.He walked to the window, lifted the curtains, and saw a figure slowly walking out of the residential building, turning a few corners and out of sight.

Ning Xiao put down the curtains, went back to the house and went to the sofa.The sound of the piano filled the room, and he closed his eyes, as if he had fallen asleep.

What is the fuse?

No one answered.

Once I fell asleep, I fell asleep until the next day. When I woke up, the sun was already high, and it was already noon on the second day.Ning Xiao looked at his phone, and the lawyer sent a text message asking him to meet the family members of the deceased. The time and place have been arranged.going or not?He thinks for a second, sends a text, and gets up to clean himself up.

At 45:34, Ning Xiao went out to attend the meeting.At this time, [-] hours had passed since Ding Yiyan's death.

When walking on the street, Ning Xiao didn't meet the criminal police watching him, so he didn't take it seriously, and rushed directly to the meeting place.One o'clock, arrive at the meeting place.He thought for a while, but instead of entering directly, he turned around and walked into a men's clothing store.

Ten minutes later, a man in a coat, with his collar covering most of his face, walked out of the men's clothing store and hurried into the meeting place.

This is a teahouse in a private room. Under the guidance of the waiter, he walked into a small box.There were already two people waiting inside, a man and a woman, middle-aged, very pale, with bloodshot eyes.

"Hello." He greeted.

The stubble-faced man raised his head and stared at him.

"You are Ning Xiao."

"..."

"You killed my son."

This time he couldn't be silent. "not me."

"Then who else would it be!" The man became excited, "Who else would it be if it wasn't you! Why deny it, why kill him! Even if he provokes you, he is still young! He is still a child, you kill him!"

The man who had experienced the pain of bereavement was already somewhat incoherent, he looked at Ning Xiao with red eyes.

Sensing something was wrong, Ning Xiao took two steps back.The atmosphere in this box was not as peaceful as the lawyer had promised. The parents were obviously stimulated and looked even crazier than yesterday.

"You killed my son, but you still don't have to pay for it, and you're still playing around outside. It's not fair, it's not fair." The man became visibly mad, "I'm not reconciled to the fact that the police can't punish the murderer! Just wait, wait! "

Seeing that he was about to rush over, the woman sitting beside him held him tightly, but was pushed away violently by the man in madness.With a cry of surprise, she was pushed to the side of the tea table and fell to the ground in pain.

"Are you okay?" Ning Xiao hurried up to help her up.

The woman curled up in his arms, seemed to be in pain from the bump, and was trembling all over.Ning Xiao only saw her fingers trembling, her lips opened and closed several times, as if she was saying something.

"What did you say?"

"I, I want to...for..."

"What?" Ning Xiao moved closer.

"Revenge for words!"

puff!

A dagger stuck into Ning Xiao's abdomen and stabbed it hard.

The woman let go of her hand, hid aside tremblingly, looked at Ning Xiao who was clutching his stomach in disbelief, and cried, "You killed Yanyan, I will kill you for revenge, I want you to die."

"You..." Ning Xiao tightly clutched his stomach, his face pale.

This turned out to be a scam!

The couple were clearly delirious. The man hugged his wife tightly, while the mother looked crazy and kept repeating a sentence.

"You killed Yanyan, and you will kill him."

"Who told you to take your life like this? Now that you kill me, do you want to take your life too?" Ning Xiao asked.

But the woman just cried and couldn't answer.Her husband hugged him, his expression was a little more sober than before, and he no longer deliberately pretended to be crazy.

"You killed my son, you die. We killed you, we die." His eyes were red, with sadness and anger. "Anyway, if the words are gone, we will not live."

"Love him so much?" Ning Xiao clutched the dagger stuck in his stomach, and leaned his back against the wall.

The man didn't answer.

"Or, it's not necessarily all about love, but more about guilt, right?" Ning Xiao stood up slowly while supporting the wall.

"You!" The man suddenly widened his eyes, looking at Ning Xiao who stood up neatly. "How can it be!"

Pulling out the dagger, "Ning Xiao" who was standing at the door looked at him. "It's strange why I wasn't injured? This proves that the police force's body armor can not only prevent bullets, but also protect against knives."

"This proves that you have rough skin and thick flesh."

The door of the private room was opened suddenly, and a person walked in.He exchanged glances with "Ning Xiao" who was standing inside the room, and then looked at the panicked couple who were obviously not in the right situation.

Inside the house, "Ning Xiao" walked up to the visitor.

"I took a knife for you, how can I repay me?"

The genuine Ning Xiao who had just entered the room glanced at him, "It is your duty to protect the citizens, police officer."

"Ning Xiao" smiled, pulled down his collar, revealing Xu Shangyu's face. "Yes, in order to protect you, a good citizen, I walked through the gate of hell."

"Team Xu!"

Several criminal policemen rushed in one after another and surrounded the couple.

"You're not hurt are you?"

"No." Xu Shangyu shook his head and asked, "Have you caught anyone?"

Lu Fei shook his head.

"The number is already empty, and the registered address is also fake. The computer at the aid center has been hacked. This is a counterfeit."

"Sure enough." Xu Shangyu frowned, "I knew it wasn't going so well."

"You guys! You bastards!" Ding Yiyan's parents, who had been in a state of astonishment, finally came to their senses. They saw that the criminal police who were with Ning Xiao didn't dare to believe it. "You cover criminals and indulge murderers, what kind of policemen are you?"

In fact, up to now, the parents who lost their beloved son still haven't figured out the situation, and they don't even know that they are being used for nothing.Ning Xiao sighed and approached the crazy parents.

Looking at the two haggard faces, he whispered: "There is no murderer at all."

"If anything, you, me, and them are all murderers."

Ding Yiyan's father had a hoarse throat. "What do you mean?"

"Don't you understand yet?"

Ning Xiao told him directly.

"Because Ding Yiyan committed suicide."
