The bowls and dishes in the bathroom, the toothbrush in the bathroom, the slippers in the hallway, and the briefs that should have been hung on the balcony, only that person would wear them.

Yulu stared at the empty clothes hanger, and after a long while, he slowly raised his hand and put it on his eyes that were too hot to bear any more messages.

"Why, today is the day..."

***

Leakage in the house coincides with continuous night rain, and impotence coincides with wife cheating.Yulu heard this Chinese proverb from his mother when he was a child. The so-called misfortunes never come singly. Yulu has to admit that the inheritance of the ancient Chinese experience does have its reasons.

Yulu couldn't remember how long he had been sitting on the sofa, he just stared at the ceiling like this, in a daze for the whole night, and fell asleep unconsciously at almost dawn.

Originally, he made up his mind to stay at home like this for a whole day to soothe his wounded heart, but it didn't take long for Yulu to close his eyes when he was awakened by the deafening phone call.

It was his work mobile phone that rang. Yulu thought for a moment if it was Ricky, and frantically took out the mobile phone from his briefcase, only to realize that he had never given Ricky his mobile phone number, just like Ricky had never gave him the same.

"Hello...Excuse me...is this Lawyer Yu...?"

A strange and weak voice came from the other end of the phone. Yulu was still half asleep and half awake, and it took a long time to barely recognize it.

"Uh...you are Yan... Mrs. Ye?!"

"Well, it's me." Yulu heard Mrs. Ye's voice trembling, as if she was suppressing something, "Sorry, I originally called Lawyer Ji, but he didn't answer the phone, I called all night, I even called his home phone number, but his wife said that he couldn't be found... that's why I thought of calling you, Lawyer Yu, Ah Chang..."

Yulu clenched the phone tightly, listening to Mrs. Ye speaking in a forced and calm tone.

"Ah Chang, he committed suicide in the detention center last night..."

Yulu's head was dizzy for a moment, and Mrs. Ye was still talking in a low voice.

"He swallowed the small iron pieces used to tie the rope during homework. He hid dozens of them in advance, and swallowed them with water in one breath last night... It took a while for the prison guards to find him. Those iron pieces had all gone into his stomach. inside……"

Yulu found his voice trembling.

"The result? Ye Chang... How is Ye Chang?" Yulu asked loudly.

"The detention center sent him to the hospital immediately. Last night, he underwent an operation in the emergency room to remove those iron plates. He is now in the hospital. The doctor said that his esophagus and stomach were injured, and he will be observed for a while, but There is no danger to his life at present, but his vocal cords are also injured, lawyer Yu, I..."

Mrs. Ye tried her best to speak in an orderly tone, and it could be heard how much effort this brave woman took to suppress her.Yulu jumped up from the sofa.

"I'll go there right away! I'm at the hospital that cooperates with the institute, right? Mrs. Ye, don't get too excited, just stay with Mr. Ye, and I'll go over to your side right away!"

When Yulu rushed to the hospital, the door of the ward was full of people.Two prison guards stood at the door, one on the left and the other on the right. This is a hospital specially designed to receive inmates from the detention center. Many of the equipment is compared to the specifications of a mental hospital. The furniture and beds are fixed, and all objects that can hurt people are tied up with chains. It has a very solemn atmosphere.

Yulu saw Mrs. Ye at a glance, she was still wearing that short hair, sitting on the bench at the door of the ward, Yulu watched him press his nose with his hands.Ye Chang's two children are by his side, one is the eldest daughter Ye Zhi, whom Yulu saw when he visited Ye Chang's house before, and even she seems to have grown up a lot overnight, quietly by his mother's side, When he saw Yulu rushing over, those small eyes glared at him hostilely.

On the side is the youngest son Ye Ji, Yulu saw that he was still in a daze, playing with the paper frog in his hand, as if he didn't know what was going on at home.

Seeing Yulu, Mrs. Ye immediately stood up from the bench as if seeing a savior.This made Yu Lv really embarrassed, what he was most afraid of was being expected by others, because he knew too well that he was not worthy of it.

"How could this happen?" Yulu had no choice but to ask first, putting on a professional appearance as much as possible.

"I went to see him the night before, and he was in good spirits. I also made him his favorite egg stewed porridge, and he drank it all in front of me. I don't know, it was only a short time later One day short..."

Mrs. Ye pressed her nose with a handkerchief as she spoke, and Yulu could see that she was trying her best not to cry in front of outsiders.Mrs. Ye took another deep breath, "I still dare not tell Ah Chang's mother, that is my mother-in-law, she has been hospitalized for blood pressure these days. I have been lying to her that Ah Chang was imprisoned for forging documents and other reasons, Otherwise, she might not be able to bear it."

Hearing what Mrs. Ye said, Yulu couldn't help feeling a little emotional.It turned out that Ye Chang was not the only one locked up in the detention center, but the entire family.

Yulu showed his lawyer's certificate to the attendant at the gate, and after checking his identity, he was allowed to go.As soon as he entered, he saw Ye Chang lying on the hospital bed, thinner than when Yulu first saw him, and his skin probably returned to that translucent whiteness after being locked indoors for a long time.

Looking at Ye Chang like this, Yulu suddenly understood why this timid man could attract the attention of that pheromone maker in high school.

To his surprise, Ye Chang was awake.There is a neck guard around his neck, and a tube is connected to the outside. It seems that a hole was opened from the esophagus. Now Ye Chang relies on this tube for food.He just sat on the head of the bed like this, quietly looking at the pale wall in the ward, without moving or making a sound.

Yulu looked around for a while, but did not see Ji Lan.In the past when this kind of thing happened, Ji Lan must be the first to appear on the scene, and Yulu didn't even need to move his mouth, Ji Lan would naturally make the best judgment based on the situation in front of him, he just needs to be responsible for waving the flag and shouting beside him. .

This was the first time that Yuli confronted his client directly and without any excuses.This made him a little bit at a loss for a while, let alone his defendant committed suicide, Yulu had never even encountered such a thing as suicide by someone around him.

He is too cowardly.Even when Sam announced in front of him that he was going to walk the red carpet with his mother, Yuli never thought of dying.His way of relief is to go to a gay bar and join a Pa at random, and relieve his depression with a lot of ass.

Yulu couldn't imagine what kind of person would commit suicide under what kind of mood.

For those who have the courage to take this step, he is not so much admiration as a little fear.Just like now, Yulu found himself a little afraid of this man who was as quiet and broken as a Tang puppet in front of him.

He took a step closer to Ye Chang, but Ye Chang still didn't respond.

"Why did you do that?" Yulu asked. In fact, he didn't intend to say such a thing at all. It would be too cruel to ask someone who just committed suicide why he committed suicide.Ji Lan might ask, but that's not his style.

"The case has finally come to light, hasn't it? The court is planning to arrest that chocobo man, and we have been working hard to prove his motives. Lawyer Ji also said that he has filed a petition for removal of custody for you. If you succeed, you can go home immediately."

Yulu felt that he would be fine if he didn't speak, and when he spoke, all his emotions surged up.

"Your wife is too, have you seen it too? She cut her hair specially, and she went to a court she was never familiar with, enduring the horror of being questioned by the king of Yama, and she also wanted to speak for you. Lawyer Ji was even more concerned about your case. You didn't even recover from your illness, and almost fell at the gate of the court. Everyone is working hard for you, trying to prove your innocence, why do you do such a thing?"

Yulu stopped to catch his breath. He seemed to have turned his eyes slightly to Ye Chang, but he still didn't look directly at him.

"I was once like you, and people all over the world didn't believe me."

Yulu took a little deep breath, it was probably the legacy of last night, losing his temper was not suitable for him in the first place, it hurt his body and spirit.But I don't know why, thinking of Ji Lan's appearance on the sofa bed, and comparing it with such a sick man in front of him, Yu Lv felt angry in his heart.Although this breath is bitter.

"Although I'm not as unlucky as you, I was inexplicably charged with that kind of crime. But I also stood in court, alone and helpless. Everyone thought I was crazy, a psychopath with nothing to do, and no one would believe me. That's right..."

Yulu let out a breath, and fixed her eyes on Ye Chang who was on the bedside.

"But at that time, there was a man who believed in me, a man who was willing to do everything in his power to help me, and that man was my defense lawyer, who stood behind me when I was about to fall, held me up with all his strength, let I can stand there till the end."

Yulu paused.Suddenly mentioning Sam in this situation, he realized that deep down in his heart, he was still more grateful than resentful towards that man.

"I know you have been wronged a lot in the detention center, and I also feel that if I stood in your position, I would also want to plead guilty quickly and seek relief. Anyway, no one believes me anymore."

"But you are different. I don't have a wife who loves me, I don't have a cute child, I don't even have a mother who cares about me, and I can assure you that even if you are framed ten times in the future, you will never find me again." To a defense lawyer like Ji Lan who risked his life."

Yulu himself felt sad when he talked about it, this is really not like him.

"So Mr. Ye, I beg you, look at what you have now, and don't look at what you don't have. Think about Ji Lan... think about the feelings of those who love you, and stop doing this kind of thing."
