Forensic pursuit

For breakfast, Nie Fanxin deliberately set up a table on the balcony, bathed in the pale golden sunlight in the morning, holding the sandwich made by Nie Zhiyan with both hands, and squinting his eyes to serve it to his mouth.

She seemed to feel the sight not far away, she raised her head slightly, and happened to see by the kitchen door, the mother and daughter were leaning shoulder to shoulder, whispering something, the woman with sporadic fine lines at the end of her eyes looked at her, her bright autumn eyes bent into crescent moons.

Um?Why is my aunt making such an expression?Nie Fan didn't know why, but he wasn't prepared to delve into it.She usually sleeps late and wakes up late, and can only swallow dates when she eats. At this moment, she can enjoy the food leisurely, and her taste buds are completely released.

"Pizza Margherita, do you want to eat?" Wan Yi took a seat beside her with a plate and whispered softly.

Nie Fan's eyes fluttered, and he stretched out his chopsticks, unceremoniously picked up a piece, put it on the plate, and said brightly: "My aunt is good at it, I must give face."

"Eat more if you like it." Nie Zhiyan also sat down, with the smile on her face undiminished.

"Where is Lao Wan, are you still awake?"

Nie Zhiyan lowered her eyes slightly, and patiently peeled the boiled egg in her hand: "Well, it's not as good as you. Back then, I got up two days earlier and returned to my original shape on the third day."

"I can persevere." Nie Fanxin glanced at Wan Yi, and suddenly realized that her actions were too obvious. How could sisters promise to sleep together?Only when I was a child, did I have such childish behavior.

Now she always likes to struggle over and over again about what is the most suitable way to get along. It is too dull and meaningless, afraid that the other party will not feel it; too strong and uncomfortable, afraid that the other party will escape under pressure.

As a result, there is a state of being complacent one moment, and worrying about gains and losses the next moment, and becoming less and less like myself.

As the saying goes, a secret love is an unspoken liking, but she remembered a sentence she read in a book: You can't hide liking someone, even if you cover your mouth, it will still come out of your eyes.

That being the case, should we actively strive for it?Or hide it deliberately?Or just let nature take its course...

Thinking about it, her lips moved, and she couldn't help but laugh, her heart that was in a state of ups and downs gradually returned to calm.Happiness is never just meeting, if you don't fight for it, how can you let Wan Yi know what you want, and how can you talk about the next possibility.She has always acted proactively, as it is in her work, she should also be like this in her relationship.

Allow love to grow freely without restraint.

So Nie Fanxin raised her head, put the peeled egg into the small bowl in front of the person next to her table, then picked up the unpeeled egg from her bowl, and smiled lightly: "Here, how are you?" Bar."

"Of course." Wan Yi bent her lips, biting open the egg white.

Finally, there is no need to rush out in a hurry. At 7:31, Nie Fanxin put on his shoes, took Wan Yi's hand as usual, and turned to the two who were still eating at the dinner table, "Old Wan, auntie, let's go first."

"Okay, stay safe."

Waiting for the elevator, Nie Fanxin looked down at the interlocking hands of the two, and his eyes stopped on Wan Yi's fair and long five fingers. His mood was different from the past, with a subtle feeling.She took the opportunity to touch the back of Wan Yi's hand, it was smooth, cool and very comfortable.

I heard from Lao Wan that repeated hand washing is an "occupational disease" for every forensic doctor.In the past, there was no heating in Binnan, and every winter, my aunt's hands would peel off and suffer from frostbite.Now that the conditions have improved and the working environment is vastly different from many years ago, Wan Xiaoyu's hands are naturally much better than my aunt's, but in my memory, the touch in winter is still slightly different.

"If you're in a daze again, aren't you afraid of being late?" Wan Yi leaned too close, and the breath of her words came into her ears.The right hand changed from holding her to being held by her and walked out, without any intention of separating.

Nie Fan couldn't help counting his own heartbeats.

About 1 beats per minute, typical heartbeat.She snorted, and not to be outdone, opened the passenger door first. Wan Yi didn't speak, with a clear smile in her eyes, followed her and sat in.

Nie Fanxin clocked in 5 minutes earlier. As soon as the computer was turned on, the WeChat interface popped up. The message came from Chu Wanning: "Fanxin, Chen Anyou and you are going to the Normal University this morning. The case of the Municipal Bureau will be heard publicly today. I am in the auditorium right now."

"Okay." Nie Fanxin asked casually, "Where's Pei Xiaorong, are you nervous?" A member of the procuratorate and prosecutors came to observe, so the first few rows were densely packed with people in dark uniforms.Chu Wanning looked up, and on the right side of the side door, Pei Rong in a black lawyer's robe was calmly sorting out the documents.

"It should be fine." Chu Wanning bent her lips sincerely.

At 8:10, the clerk checked whether the public prosecutor, parties, witnesses and other litigation participants were present in court; witnesses and appraisers who planned to testify in court were arranged to rest outside the court and wait for the summons.

Then the court discipline was read out, followed by the public prosecutor and Pei Rong as the defender entering the court, waiting for the presiding judge, the judge took his seat, everything was ready, and the presiding judge announced the start of the trial.

The trial process was rigorous, and after lengthy introductions and inquiries, some people in the auditorium had already started yawning.Until entering the stage of court investigation, the public prosecutor finished reading the indictment, and the presiding judge asked questions, and they somewhat regained their energy.

"Defendant Chen Xiaoling, do you have any objection to the facts and charges in the indictment?"

Chen Xiaoling looked at Pei Rong, recalled what she said earlier, shook her head firmly and said, "I have objections, I didn't kill anyone."

Ask twice in a row, and then ask Chen Xiaoling to make a statement.

"I didn't kill the professor's family. I was asleep in the room at that time. I woke up at about 10 o'clock in the evening and found their bodies. I called the police immediately."

The public prosecutor was confident, and asked questions according to the presiding judge's prompt: "Defendant Chen Xiaoling, on the night of the incident, you went to the victim's home with a lotus candle from a high-voltage device to give gifts. Why did you go to the second floor to rest for no reason?"

Pei Rong's voice was clear, and he said in time: "Judge, I object to the prosecutor's definition of my client as a murderer before he is convicted. This kind of behavior has a suggestive tendency."

The prosecutor said gently: "It's just a reasonable assumption."

The presiding judge reminded: "The objection is valid, please pay attention to the words of the public prosecutor."

"According to common sense, the defendant Chen Xiaoling should celebrate the professor with the other deceased and sing birthday songs. However, do you know that there is something wrong with the candle, so you avoided it?" Then he glanced at Pei Rong who was opposite, thinking he would object again, but she nodded to Chen Xiaoling to answer.

Chen Xiaoling said unhurriedly: "The doctor was stressed during his studies and often suffered from insomnia, so he took sleeping pills around six o'clock in the evening. The professor also knew that, maybe he didn't wake me up."

The prosecutor showed the document: "Presiding judge, Chen Xiaoling's blood test report at 5:[-] a.m. the next day did not contain sleeping pills."

Pei Rong turned to the second page, took out a piece of evidence, and spoke with integrity: "Judge, this is a professional certificate issued by Nie Zhiyan, a researcher and senior consultant of the Binnan Judicial Research Institute, and the metabolism of short-acting sleeping pills. It usually only takes a few hours.”

The clerk helps to pass and record.

Chen Xiaoling was able to respond fluently to the public prosecutor's three consecutive interrogations.Next, Pei Rong asked questions to guide the judges to understand Chen Xiaoling's conduct.

"Chen Xiaoling, please briefly describe your relationship with the deceased."

"I am the only doctor with a 50-level professor. He gave up the graduate student at the same school and chose me to apply for another school, so I am also very grateful to him and worked hard..."

Chen Xiaoling is eloquent, and the logic of organizing language is clear. The presiding judge unconsciously follows her pause and nods to show her affirmation.

In the prosecution and defense phase, the defense led by Pei Rong seems to have the upper hand.The presiding judge stated that the prosecution and the defense presented evidence, presented evidence and cross-examined evidence.

"On the night of the incident, the defendant visited the deceased with an Adala cake." The public prosecutor took out a photo of the cake, and the bailiff handed it to Chen Xiaoling for confirmation.

The presiding judge asked: "Defendant Chen Xiaoling, do you have any objection to the evidence presented by the public prosecutor?"

Chen Xiaoling shook her head: "No objection."

"The lotus candle in the photo is a modified high-voltage device, which is the direct tool for this case." The photo was handed over to Chen Xiaoling again.

Chen Xiaoling immediately denied it: "I didn't touch the candle, let alone modify it."

"Are the Xinde Rui copper wires and ports necessary for experiments in your physics department?"

Chen Xiaoling affirmed: "Yes, but it does not mean that I am the murderer."

The public prosecutor faced the trial seat: "Presiding judge, this is a crime tool, and the defendant has the ability to modify the crime tool; I want to call the first witness."

The witness was quickly taken to the witness stand, and the public prosecutor asked, "Do you know Chen Xiaoling, the defendant in this case?"

"Yes, she and I often share a laboratory."

"Please briefly explain the facts you heard with your own ears a few days before the incident."

The witness nodded: "Before the professor died, I heard them quarreling, and the process was intense."

"What about it?"

"The professor affected Chen Xiaoling's future, and she was worried that she would not be able to graduate smoothly. Chen Xiaoling said that she had agreed, and finally broke up unhappy."

"Judge, I have nothing more to ask."

Pei Rong stood up and smiled slightly: "Witness, can you hear the whole conversation between the deceased and my client?"

"It's a little far away, so I can't hear you clearly. But you can probably tell."

In the court, Pei Rong had a certain amount of advance and retreat: "Judge, please allow me and my assistant to demonstrate on the spot."

After getting the answer, her expression was completely opposite to that before, her tone changed instantly, and she whispered: "Professor, my boyfriend proposed last night, and my parents are always urging me, so the experimental research in the next semester may need you to give me a little more time."

"Xiao Chen, you have only graduated in less than a year. After graduation, I will recommend you to stay in school. The teacher advises you not to give up your career for your family."

"Professor, my relatives in my hometown say I can't get married, and my parents are under a lot of pressure."

"After marriage, the focus of many women has to be on the family. Your senior sister at level 45 has delayed her graduation for 3 years."

……

The witness said without hesitation: "Yes, yes, that's about it."

Prosecutor: "Judge, object to the defense's inducing witnesses." In the past six months, due to insufficient evidence, the procuratorate has repeatedly dismissed the case back to the Municipal Public Security Bureau for re-investigation. In the first quarter of this year, it was formally prosecuted under pressure from public opinion.

Pei Rong resumed his solemn tone: "Judge, I am only restoring the dialogue and the scene based on the statement of the parties. Whether it is true or not is entirely up to the witness to judge." She knew that the judge would not accept it, but at least it would be able to challenge the accuracy of the witness's testimony. Sexuality.

"The objection is valid. Is there any other priority for the defense to question the witness?"

"No, thank you." Pei Rong sat down upright.

Chu Wanning, who was sitting in the auditorium, seemed to be glued to Pei Rong's body, following her all the time, attracted by her every move, every frown and smile...
