The Way of the Demon Cult Leader Chasing His Wife

Chapter 106

Lin Shen smiled: "You know it well, there are only a few that can be defended in this case. Even if I can say it, I have to follow the Basic Law."

Compared to his imminent enemy, Lin Shen was not nervous at all, and even had the mood to use the "Basic Law" to make a joke.

The frozen atmosphere between the two suddenly eased up, and Xia Zhitao also suppressed a bit of hostility.Lin Shen patted his pocket, took out a cigarette and held it in his mouth.

Smoking is completely banned in the court, and he can only enjoy it with his mouth.Taking a deep breath, I imagined myself exhaling hazy white smoke like mist.

Lin Shen was stunned for a while, then suddenly turned to Xia Zhitao, and said, "Hey...Actually, you don't have to push yourself so hard, just leave the letter of resignation and leave."

Xia Zhitao squinted at him: "I thought you guys didn't want to have anything to do with me anymore. Rather than being dismissed, it's better for me to walk away in style."

Lin Shen laughed: "It's really something you can do-but no matter who wins this time, I still want you to stay. There are more than ten lawyers in our law firm, and you are the most capable, and I appreciate it the most. you."

Xia Zhitao was a little surprised: "You are so brave, you still dare to use me? If you don't get rid of the relationship quickly, you still want to be burned?"

"Not as courageous as you."

Lin Shen took off the cigarette and cut it into two pieces in his hand.He raised his head slightly, and said calmly: "I took the business of a big client a while ago, the powerful richest man, what is the Sun family, do you want to introduce you?"

Xia Zhitao shrugged: "No need."

Lin Shen's eyes deepened, and he subconsciously used some force with his two fingers holding the cigarette, smashing the white paper wrapped in the tobacco into pieces: "Seriously, do you really want to leave?"

Xia Zhitao took a step back and smiled apologetically, "Sorry."

This lawsuit is just the beginning.

The clauses in a line of words are dead, but if you dig deeper into the words and sentences, you can always say something that "may not exist"—it all depends on the lawyer's ability.

Standing in his seat, Xia Zhitao glanced up at the jurors who were all seated, and saw someone staring at him and winking at him.

Zhang Kuang didn't wear a pink and tender flower skirt this time, but changed into a relatively formal shirt and trousers, which stood out among all kinds of people in the jury, and he could be seen at a glance.

The corner of Xia Zhitao's mouth raised a little unconsciously, forming a faint smile.

Just look at mine.

.

"let's start."

After hearing the presiding judge's instructions, Xia Zhitao cleared his throat, and began to present all the evidence collected one by one, and explained the facts pointed to by the evidence in detail.

Her voice was very calm and steady, and every word resounded in the courtroom, falling into her ears very clearly.Uncle Fu stood at the same place with her, rubbing his fingers uneasily.

She had heard of the more important ones, but to her surprise, Xia Zhitao thought more comprehensively.She has considered even the most trivial details.

Lin Shen listened to her, and his originally relaxed expression gradually became dignified.

When Xia Zhitao showed the scratches from the car taken at the scene, Lin Shen touched the second young master of the Sun family beside him, and said in a low voice, "It rained at that time, and the car left traces—how did you never Didn't you tell me?"

The second young master of the Sun family tugged on the silver chain on his clothes, his expression a little confused: "How long has it been since this shit happened, how can I remember such details!"

"This is troublesome," Lin Shen frowned, "We can't refute this."

Xia Zhitao prepared very well, every piece of evidence was almost a deadly ironclad evidence, directly cutting off a lot of rebuttal evidence prepared by Lin Shen.

When it was his turn to speak, Lin Shen had no choice but to cut some of his own content. Compared with Xia Zhitao's overwhelming evidence, most of his content was oral, and a plausible mental illness certificate.

After the two sides have spoken, it is time for eyewitnesses to speak.No matter what Qi Zidong did, he always looked indifferent and alienated. Even in court, under the watchful eyes of everyone, he calmly narrated the case calmly.

Zhang Kuang hadn't paid much attention to her before, but now he took a second look at her and felt something was wrong.

Qi Zidong doesn't look like a modern person.

In other words, there is a feeling in her that I am very familiar with... or temperament, which overlaps with those sanctimonious, deserted and lonely peak masters of the Yashan School.

Lin Shen picked out a few incomplete points in Qi Zidong's narration, trying to destroy her testimony, but she bypassed them skillfully and calmly, and returned to her own testimony after going round and round.

On the contrary, the second young master of the Sun family was not very good at finding those witnesses. Xia Zhitao asked aggressively, and two of the three panicked, and the testimony in his mouth was also contradictory.

Lawyers on both sides have their own testimonies and witnesses. After a long tug-of-war, the decisive moment has finally come.

The old presiding judge adjusted his iron-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, holding the paper with trembling fingers: "You have heard a long and complicated case..."

"If you rule the defendant guilty, this court will impose severe punishment; if you rule not guilty, he will be released in court." The presiding judge raised his head, facing the direction of the jury, with sharp and deep eyes:

"In any case, your decisions must be unanimous."

.

Zhang Kuang didn't listen to what the presiding judge said later.She straightened the papers in front of her, and glanced at the other eleven jurors of various colors beside her.

Is this going to vote?It is simply inexplicable!

Look at her own Taotao's momentum, statements, and even the evidence she presented-it's like hitting the other party's lawyer, throwing away that Lin Shen by a dozen blocks, okay? ?

The twelve reviewers were brought into a small room. After the bailiff registered their names, they left and locked the door. There were only 12 people left in the room.

The rest of the people were waiting outside, Xia Zhitao patted the old man on the shoulder, and comforted: "We have tried our best."

She glanced at the closed door, even though she was an atheist, she still secretly hoped in her heart that the result of the jury would be as she expected.

Xia Zhitao felt that she had been waiting for a long time, but she looked down at her watch and found that it had only been 5 minutes.

What a torment.

Thinking of this, she suddenly "heard" a familiar voice: "Peach."

The voice didn't pass through the eardrum, but directly rang in her mind, startled her, and exclaimed in a low voice: "Ah?"

Uncle Fu glanced at her suspiciously, Xia Zhitao quickly restrained his expression, and tried to speak with his thoughts: "Crazy?"

Zhang Kuang said: "Well, it's me. There's something wrong with me. The vote ratio is three to nine—'not guilty' nine votes."

Zhang Kuang pursed his lips and glanced at the young man beside him who was shouting loudly, "What's the matter with you, that person is absolutely guilty!", and Xia Zhitao continued to explain: "I, number five and number seven voted guilty, and Everyone else is innocent."

Xia Zhitao fell silent.

No matter how much you say, no matter how strong the evidence is, it is useless—as long as the other party bribes the jury, the case will remain suspended and there will be no conviction.

"Some of these nine people must have been bribed," Xia Zhitao worried, "What should I do?"

Being bribed?

Zhang Kuang raised his eyebrows and said, "I have an idea."

She seemed to have prescribed something to Xia Zhitao. Xia Zhitao Mingming was in the court, but suddenly he could clearly hear the voices in their small room.

A middle-aged man retorted: "I think that female lawyer's evidence is all forged! That **** can't drive at all, but was dragged into the water by this vicious woman!"

A woman cried: "I think that boy is so pitiful. The lawyer said that he has depression and schizophrenia. It must not be intentional."

It's really a dance of demons.

After hearing this, Xia Zhitao couldn't help but lament that how many people were completely bribed, they just opened their mouths without distinguishing between right and wrong.

People tend to have a herd mentality, and when those few people yelled, one of them who voted not guilty was also a little shaken, raised his hand and quietly changed himself to the guilty vote.

"Knock, knock."

Very strangely, after hearing the moderate knocking on the table, the people who held their own opinions fell silent inexplicably, and all looked at the young-looking woman.

Zhang Kuang turned to the man and woman who yelled the loudest just now, and slowly said, "Do you feel guilty?"

The woman screamed, "Of course! That child was wronged—"

Her words suddenly froze, and her next words were beyond everyone's expectations: "As long as I say I'm not guilty, the 20 yuan will be mine!"

The woman's expression gradually became terrified, full of disbelief, she didn't expect that she would just tell the story of her being bribed.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the man wanted to stop her, but the words he said made a detour in his mouth and turned into another sentence: "If I say I am guilty, the HIV positive report will be sent to the company."

Everyone's expressions were weird for a moment.Xia Zhitao, who was eavesdropping, couldn't help sighing: "The Sun family is really...how did you do it?"

Zhang Kuang chuckled: "The 'Mantra' I learned before, I never thought it would come in handy."

.

When the result of twelve votes of "guilty" came out, Second Young Master Sun trembled all over. He slammed the table hard and shouted heart-piercingly, "Impossible! Impossible!!"

He stared at Xia Zhitao viciously, and roared, "You bitch! What did you do!"

Xia Zhitao glanced at him indifferently.

Lin Shen frowned, took a few steps forward, stood between Sun Ershao and Xia Zhitao calmly, and said politely, "Sorry Mr. Sun, I tried my best."

Second Young Master Sun rushed up and punched Lin Shen in the face, knocking his glasses flying.Lin Shen covered his face and staggered back a few steps, taking a "hissy" breath.

Sun Ershao yelled: "You and that bitch are definitely on the same team! My father will deal with you!!" He wanted to rush up and beat him up, but was restrained by the bailiffs who rushed over and sent him to the ground. dragged down.

Lin Shen wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth, and turned to look for Xia Zhitao, but found that she had already left the door with the documents, leaving only a shadow behind.

It was ten o'clock in the afternoon outside the courthouse, the sun was getting stronger, and it took away all the lingering moisture, and the air sucked into the chest cavity also brought a somewhat uncomfortable dryness.

As soon as Xia Zhitao came out, the media who got the results rushed forward, and the flickering lights and continuous questions overwhelmed her instantly.

"Miss Xia, how did you do it", "Miss Xia, what do you think about this", "Miss Xia, you..."

"Miss Xia, you..."

"Miss Xia..."

Xia Zhitao didn't immediately answer the surging questions. She turned her head slightly and looked at Sun Huairen, the ruler of the Sun family and the father of the second youngest Sun who was also surrounded by reporters not far away.

Sun Huairen was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, with a mixed expression of grief and remorse on his face, and said to the media heartbrokenly: "...he let me down so much! Don't worry, I will never cover up my son, and let him get The due punishment shall be returned to everyone!"

With the word "ren" in his name, what he does is the opposite, and he is far from benevolence.

Xia Zhitao took a deep breath, lowered his eyebrows and said, "Please give way."

As she spoke, she walked up the white stone steps step by step, and there was a huge group of people holding cardboard banners not far away. When she saw Xia Zhitao coming out, she turned over all the covered panels in her hands——

The criminal evidence listed above is even more shocking than the crimson paint.

Lin Shen covered his face and looked down at the door of the court, already knowing what Xia Zhitao was going to do.He murmured: "Crazy, crazy, can't save..."

Xia Zhitao walked up to the crowd, took out a piece of paper from the file folder, and unfolded it in front of the media: "I have accepted ten commissions today, and filed dozens of complaints against Mr. Sun and his companies. Gambling, kidnapping, arms smuggling—”

Every single syllable will cause the media to exclaim, take photos frantically, and broadcast it to the TV station in real time.

Sun Huairen's face turned ashen, he pushed aside the media, and shouted sharply: "Please don't make something out of nothing and fabricate truth!"

Xia Zhitao didn't change his face, and looked at him with a smile: "I believe that our country's judicial system can bring justice to everyone, isn't it?"

There are many people gathered here, surrounded by several media outlets. No matter how powerful Sun Huairen is, he can only bear it. He looks at Xia Zhitao, and his voice is filled with endless coldness:

"See you later then."

.

A black car sped up and took him away, but Xia Zhitao stayed where he was, and said a lot to the media as soon as possible.Moreover, more than 100 men in black behind her were all victims, and they revealed many details in turn.

This matter was too big, and countless videos and evidence were spread crazily on the Internet, which directly alarmed higher levels.

With one order, the investigation operation was launched in a mighty manner.

No matter how powerful the Sun family is, they will not be able to compete with greater forces after all.However, within a few days, several properties of the Sun family were investigated and ordered to close down, and hundreds of real estate properties were all confiscated.

All of a sudden, the family that had been majestic in Nancheng for half a lifetime collapsed unexpectedly, and the speed was astonishing.

The Sun family, which appeared in the media every day, disappeared, and the news of the bankruptcy of various Sun family properties was circulated for several days.

The people who eat melons are satisfied, and they turn to other new things, and the enthusiasm slowly drops, and everyone seems to have got a satisfactory result.

During this period of time, Zhang Kuang has been guarding Xia Zhitao every step of the way, for fear that something will happen to the Sun family.But unexpectedly, since then, there has been no news from the Sun family, as if they had disappeared, and withdrawn from everyone's sight in despair.

But it's better to be careful in everything. They haven't been out much these days, and basically stay at home.

Zhang Kuang leaned crookedly on the sofa, pillowed on his arm, looked at Xia Zhitao without blinking, and murmured, "Taotao."

Xia Zhitao rubbed her hair: "What's wrong?"

"It's okay, I just like to call you by your name." Zhang Kuang whispered, and moved towards her as if pushing an inch, leaning towards Xia Zhitao's side.

Xia Zhitao smiled, and moved a little towards her.The two were lying on the sofa head to head, so close that they seemed to be able to hear each other's breathing and heartbeat.

Zhang Kuang looked at the TV that was still broadcasting the news, and yawned, his eyelids drooped a little tiredly.

Xia Zhitao rubbed her and asked, "Are you sleepy?"

Zhang Kuang said: "Not sleepy."

As she spoke, she yawned again, but this time she forced herself to stop in the middle of the yawn, her mouth puffed out a little cutely.

Xia Zhitao saw that the other party's eyes were watery, he was yawning desperately and still trying to say that he was not sleepy, and sighed silently.

She stretched out her hand to grab Zhang Kuang over, with a soft and gentle voice: "If you're sleepy, go to sleep, I'll hold you."

Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooom

Zhang Kuang was pushed down, she pillowed on his wife's thigh, desperately suppressing her sleepiness: No way!Rare opportunity to pillow lady's legs, you can't sleep!

Even so, after a while, Xia Zhitao heard the sound of subtle and gentle breathing, scattered in the wind lightly and softly.When she lowered her head, she saw her clear eyes closed, and her slender and curly eyelashes trembling slightly—she was already asleep.

Xia Zhitao smiled helplessly, his voice was full of pampering that he didn't realize: "Really."

She stood up quietly, and brought pillows and quilts to Zhang Kuang, who was lying asleep on the sofa, so that she could sleep more comfortably.

Xia Zhitao also turned off the TV, and without the sound of the news broadcast, the room seemed a little silent for a while.She stretched, went to the kitchen to prepare a hot cup of milk, and gave it to Zhang Kuang when she woke up.

Who knew that she opened the refrigerator and shook the milk box but found that it was empty.Xia Zhitao raised his head and glanced at the clock, seeing that it was almost six or seven o'clock, he put on a coat and prepared to go out to buy a bottle of milk at a nearby convenience store.

.

A woman in the convenience store is bending over to look at the tools, while the convenience store girl is lying on the counter drowsy.Xia Zhitao walked in with his hands in his pockets, and walked straight to the freezer.

"Well, what kind of drink does Zhang Kuang like to drink?" Xia Zhitao looked at the dazzling array of products, and suddenly fell into a choice phobia: "How do you choose?"

When she thought about it carefully, Zhang Kuang didn't seem to have any particular preferences, she basically ate whatever she ate, she wasn't picky at all and her appetite was very small.

"Ding Dong, welcome to—"

The reminder sounded, the glass door of the convenience store was opened, and a small gust of cold wind swept in.

Xia Zhitao followed the voice and saw a stooped man in a coat walking in, looking gloomy, looking around for something.

It would be impolite to stare at others, Xia Zhitao looked away and continued to worry about what to buy.What she didn't know was that after the man glanced around, he locked his eyes on her.

The man's five fingers were browned from long-term smoking. He reached into his coat and took out a knife.

It was a standard kitchen knife, extremely sharp, and shone silvery white under the room light.His hand holding the knife trembled a little, but he still walked towards Xia Zhitao unswervingly.

"I'm sorry, I have no other choice..." His voice was hoarse and dry, like the howling of a trapped animal.

Xia Zhitao suddenly heard a voice behind him, turned around suddenly, and saw a knife with a cold light stabbing him straight.

Her pupils widened suddenly, and she subconsciously grabbed the man's wrist: "You—"

The man's eyes were flushed, and the veins on his hands were bulging. He gritted his teeth and cried, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, but I can't blame you—you shouldn't have won that case!!"

Xia Zhitao yelled hoarsely, while resisting stubbornly.But the strength was lost to the opponent after all, she could only watch desperately as the knife approached her inch by inch.

The tip of the knife was so sharp that it had torn through her coat.

.

"Xia Zhisong, Xia Zhisong!"

Xia Zhisong was still dozing off when he was disturbed by a loud siren.He jumped up subconsciously, and looked sleepily at the captain who called him: "Why, what's wrong?"

Ji Yishu glanced at him with some dissatisfaction, and said coldly: "Didn't you hear the alarm? The police have been dispatched. In the West District, one man killed a woman and then committed suicide."

Fear of committing suicide?

Xia Zhisong didn't think about it so much, he kept responding, followed Captain Ji and got into the car.

The sirens blared all the way, and when they arrived, two police cars with flashing lights had already surrounded the entrance of the convenience store.The people from the police station arrived one step ahead of the criminal police team and had already surrounded the scene.

Ji Yishu and Xia Zhisong rushed out of the car, and a person from the police station came over and explained the situation to the criminal police team.Ji Yishu frowned slightly: "Where's the ambulance, hasn't it come yet?"

The man explained: "The ambulance was called immediately, but Nancheng Hospital just happened to be called out today, and it is only on the way here."

Several people were talking and walking in, Ji Yishu saw something through the window, and subconsciously grabbed Xia Zhisong to stop him from going in: "Wait a minute!!"

It was already too late, Xia Zhisong shook off her hand, pushed open the door and rushed in.

Many nearby containers were knocked over, and various commodities placed on them were scattered all over the place.

There was a big hole in the freezer, and the drinks in it slammed down.

broken glass.

The man lying in the middle of the shattered glass, and—

red.

Large expanses of red gurgled all over the ground.

.

What's going on, what's going on here? ? !

Xia Zhisong stayed where he was, the red color spread violently, covered his eyelids, wrapped around his neck like a python, and dragged him into the endless abyss.

His ears were buzzing, and he seemed to have forgotten how to breathe in a trance, and everything he saw was a maddening red.

"Xia Zhisong!!"

Captain Ji rushed in immediately, grabbed his wrist tightly and pulled him back: "Calm down!!"

Xia Zhisong turned his head slowly, his eyes misty: "Captain Ji, I..."

Ji Yishu pulled him out without reason, and held his hand tightly: "The ambulance has arrived, please calm down, follow the ambulance quickly, and leave the rest to us."

Xia Zhisong nodded blankly, and followed him into the ambulance.He looked at the people lying on the stretcher, the doctors trying to save them, himself signing the paper, and the lights in the emergency room turning from green to red, and then extinguished to gray and black.

"Sorry, we tried our best."

.

"—Go back and pack your things."

Xia Zhisong stood in front of the door, the cold wind blowing across his cheeks, he looked at the bright lights in the room, and kicked the door suddenly.

"Boom, boom, boom!" He kicked the door as if venting his anger, and the iron door was slightly dented by his kick.After a while no one responded, Xia Zhisong took out the key and opened the door.

The lights were on, and someone was sleeping on the couch.She rested on a throw pillow and was covered with a soft eiderdown quilt.

Zhang Kuang felt a violent shaking, she suppressed the tiredness coming from her soul, and when she opened her eyes, she saw that someone was grabbing herself and shaking her vigorously.She was a little puzzled, and said, "Xia Zhisong?"

"Snapped--"

There was a tingling sensation on the cheek, and Zhang Kuang's slap turned his head away.She reached out to touch her cheek, and saw that there were a few red threads on her fingertips.

"What the hell is going on with you?!" Xia Zhisong shouted hysterically, "I only have my sister and one family member, why didn't you protect her well?!"

"What did you say?"

Xia Zhisong's shoulder was suddenly grabbed, Zhang Kuang's expression was gloomy, his voice was extremely cold, and every word carried a biting chill.

Under the layers of intertwined chill, there was a layer of boundless fear buried.

"take me."
