Lofty future

It was only when I went to the court that I found out that in order to let me be sent away as lightly as possible, they hired far more lawyers than Lin Zhao.

This is a public prosecution case. As a criminal suspect, I have already confessed to the part of my crime. What the lawyer can do is to defend me as innocent or less guilty as possible.

Judging from the posture on the field, it must be aimed at the former.

Even though I feel unworthy, I can't help being moved by it.Sweeping his eyes across the auditorium, seeing that all his few relatives and friends in the world were present, he even became greedy.

The entire trial is a stage for lawyers and judges, and I only need to answer questions occasionally.

Radical confession is something I've been working on for months, so answering those questions is almost a no-brainer.

There was a heated debate in front of me, but it was difficult for me to concentrate on listening.

Involuntarily, my eyes fell on a corner of the auditorium endlessly.

There sat a woman.

It's so strange, that face is clearly far from what I remember, yet there is no strangeness in looking at it like this.It's like it's always in my head.

She was wearing a dark blue dress that seemed to be made of cotton and linen, her hair was pulled up behind her head, and she sat quietly in a corner.The expression was as quiet as her state.

Her eyes looked this way, I thought she was looking at me, but it didn't seem to be the case.

She just looked at this direction, this scene.

Occasionally, I feel that I am the focus of her eyes.At this time, I couldn't help lowering my gaze to avoid staring at each other.

Throughout the trial, I was so absorbed in her most of the time, and only a small part of the time was listening to the progress.

In a blink of an eye, Lin Zhao was already making the final argument.

"... To sum up, my client has made a huge contribution to the progress of the 619 extraordinarily large transnational criminal and pornographic cases, and the case I committed was affected by objective and irresistible environmental factors, and I have made the greatest possible contribution to the relevant traumatized persons after the crime. remedial measures..."

Lin Zhao and his partners were fully prepared, and even persuaded Zhan Yunpeng with me to give him truly valuable clues.

So the investigation of the case that started from him finally found the most critical breakthrough.

The defense of Lin Zhao's team was superb, and they firmly pinned the credit on my head. After several efforts, the judge on the trial bench looked loose.

I seemed to be saved.

At this time, I saw the woman in the auditorium stand up quietly, leave her seat and walk towards the door.

For a split second, I felt anxious and lost, even mixed with a trace of indescribable grievances—since the person has already arrived, how could he just leave?

You haven't even given me a real look yet!

Please, please, tell me!Do you regard me as a murderer, or...or a lifesaver?

Then, miraculously, as if she heard my grievance and call, she stopped pressing the doorknob.She turned around.

This time, the only focus of that gaze was me.

I froze there, my eyes collided with her.For some reason, Xiang Meifang's face appeared in his mind even though his eyes were clearly looking at her.

Not Xiang Meifang when she was young, but something I have never seen before, her old appearance.

The boundary between reality and fantasy has become so blurred, I know rationally that I am not the same person in front of me and in my mind, but I still can't stop overlapping and merging them into one face.

It was a face I can't describe, kindly.It doesn't exist in this world at all, it's only clear and deep in my heart.

Now, I see that face and smile.

Then, the woman clasped her hands together and gave a reverent salute to the judge, then looked away, lowered her eyes, and her face returned to expressionless tranquility.

The judge announced the verdict against me in court. The crime of intentional homicide was established, but the circumstances are extenuating and I have made outstanding contributions. I should be given a chance to reform and sentenced to two years in prison.

"Our original goal was one year."

Lin Zhao seemed a bit regretful, he was not satisfied with the result, but his eyes never showed a trace of frustration, only the flame of disobedience and fighting again.

Sure enough, he then said firmly, "However, I am confident that you will be released on parole after one year."

I didn't really care about that.From a personal point of view, after getting used to this kind of life, it doesn't make much difference whether it is a year or two.

It's just that I have to think about it for Chi Xue: "Then I will trouble you, and I will also receive education seriously and actively reform."

Lin Zhao shrugged, said nothing, and exchanged a glance with Chi Xue, leaving space and time for us as usual.

"What are you looking at?" Lin Zhao had already left, but Chi Xue hadn't spoken yet, but was looking up.

"I'm looking at the camera. The meeting room in this place is really crazy. There are three cameras installed in such a small place." He pointed to me while speaking.

I looked up in the direction he pointed: "I heard that someone here has escaped from the prison, so the control should be stricter."

"You've only been here for a few days, so you know a lot!" He withdrew his attention, moved the chair closer to the table, and his eyes fell on my face.

This was the most relaxed meeting we had seen in months, and the dark gray worry that could not be concealed on his face in the past finally disappeared without a trace.

I was relieved.Fortunately, it seems that he is not dissatisfied with the result.

"I said that I will actively reform. I have been studying hard. What is this, I know a lot..."

"I miss you so much." He suddenly interrupted my chatter.

His gaze on me tightened like a net, becoming sticky and heavy.My hand was clenched by him, and he brought it to his lips, and kissed me passionately. The picture and meaning made people blush.

While doing these things, he never took his eyes off my face for a moment.His eyes were full of hatred, and he felt wronged as if he was about to cry.

Thankfully, times have advanced, and prison visits can be so close, face-to-face, and touchable.What else is a long year going to do with this guy?

Now, I also think the three cameras are a bit perverted.

The ten fingers connected to the heart, the trembling and electric current I felt in my hand also made my heart throb, and the beating frequency was astonishing.I endured it for a while, and I couldn't bear it anymore, I withdrew my hand tremblingly, lowered my head and looked away from each other.

"Hey, be careful, in public, don't embarrass the comrades watching the surveillance."

He listened, and let out a contemptuous hum, with a hint of a smile at the end of the sound.

That's the joy he often has after he succeeds in doing something rebellious, and I can't help being happy.

For a moment we looked at each other and laughed like two idiots.He didn't seem to think about anything in his mind, he simply enjoyed this moment of peace and security.

It dawned on me that he understood me perfectly.

Understand my satisfaction with the result, understand that I am willing to stay here for a year or two, understand all these mentality and needs that are obviously selfish and cruel to him.

No, not just understanding, he accepted it completely.So even Lin Zhao felt sorry for himself, but he didn't.

He is like a believer who prays for blessings in front of the gods and Buddhas day and night, and finally gets his wish. He is satisfied.Fool.But is my only and eternal fool.

"Hey, Axue." I called him, "You know, I heard a prison story that is very suitable for making a movie. I can write it and act it for you. Would you like to try it?"

He widened his eyes, his eyes burst into light, and he smiled: "Study seriously, you will never make a mistake."

The author says:

I'm sorry that something happened recently, the ending is a bit slow, but at most there are two more updates.In addition, a lot of modifications have been made in the previous chapter, mainly to fix some bugs, which do not affect the plot very much.
