During the court hearing, there were already about ten people sitting in the court.
Everyone is quiet.
The female police officer who had previously been in charge of the case was also there, and everyone tacitly controlled their emotions and waited for the final moment to come.
Yun Shu put on black, white and gray clothes, which was contrary to her usual habit of liking bright colors.
She just sat there silently, with no expression on her face.
Chu Xiaoqin and Lu Mingzhu sat in the same row, separated by two empty seats. They did not look at or communicate with each other.
On the other side were the Ning family and their attorneys, who looked lifeless. Ning Huazhi’s face was thin and fleshy, and Ning’s mother looked ten years older. She kept moving around, mumbling something unknown, and kept looking at her eyes.
The direction in which the suspect appeared.
Soon, the bailiff came out with Ning Siyun.
Only two days after his arrest, Ning Siyun had green stubble on his face, his body was so thin that his cheekbones were a little prominent, and his eyes glanced at the defense table gloomily.
Compared to the 12 days of detention last time, these two days were obviously more painful. Probably because I knew I would not be able to escape jail, so I was under greater psychological pressure.
As soon as Ning's mother saw him coming out, she stood up and ran over. After being pulled back, she stood on her seat and covered her mouth and cried.
Everyone could feel that her heart was twisting like a knife, but Ning Huazhi couldn't see it. He seemed to be only worried about himself. He roughly pulled her down and sat down, hitting the seat with a "dong" sound, and pretended it was nothing.
As if heard.
Ning Siyun glanced over there, then looked at the defense bench again, and met Yun Shu's calm eyes.
The trial was a long process, but Yun Shu didn't feel anything. She just looked at Ning Siyun like that.
Judging from his slightly weathered appearance, he also had a gloomy and stern expression.
She has a good memory and still remembers Ning Siyun's appearance when she first met him.
He was standing next to Wen Jinnian Qi Zhou. Even if he was sitting and talking, he was not serious, but his handsome face, low-key and expensive clothes, and the way he casually spent hundreds of thousands were enough to show his superiority.
status.
He is the young master who is separated from them by a huge gap.
When he gave her to Zhou Jingmo, he felt a little guilty in his eyes.
But in her opinion, the guilt was too shallow, like a dead leaf falling into a pond, leaving only a few ripples on the water.
It is a fleeting thing that he only deceives himself and regards as the beginning of deep love.
Look at him now, there is nothing affectionate about him, it's just that he is willing to give a little tolerance before completely offending him.
Then what? Yun Shu's eyes lost focus and continued to look back.
Then there was the look he gave Wen Jinnian when he was dragging her away, worried and avoidant.
Then, when they found her in the Beicheng community, his eyes looked worried and maybe a little bit more guilty.
Also, on the Xiao family's cruise, when he definitely said that she underestimated the Ning family, there was ridiculous pity on his expression.
When he came out of the police station last time, they looked at each other through the crowd, and his eyes were much calmer. I don't know whether it was silent contempt, or the heaviness of knowing that his ending would not be much better.
Then, the flashback stops at the day when she took his photo.
His reaction when angry is much more real. There is no hypocritical affection, connivance, guilt or pity in his expression, only anger.
Faces gradually overlapped in the illusory passage of time, and finally attached to the face in front of them, slowly becoming clearer.
The judge's voice gradually became clearer, drawing her attention back.
"...can be used as the basis for finalizing the case. This court confirms it and will pronounce the judgment on this case..."
Everyone stood up and listened quietly to the verdict.
"This court believes that the defendant Ning Siyun illegally kidnapped and detained the plaintiff Yun Shu and three others, and wantonly invaded the privacy rights of others...The evidence is indeed sufficient and the charges are found guilty. The sentence is now as follows -"
The judge's voice echoed in the solemn Supreme Court, and the white noise outside was like doves being released into the distance.
"The defendant Ning Siyun was sentenced to fifteen years in prison..."
The dust has settled.
Yun Shu raised her head and looked at the glass window of the court, where light poured down, driving away the damp and cold air.
Next door, sitting next door to the defendant's family, Ning's mother shouted "Siyun" at the top of her lungs, mixed with sharp curses at others.
Ning Huazhi had a dull expression on his face, covering his eyes with his hands and saying nothing.
Decadence and old age are just a matter of a moment.
Her ears were suddenly covered.
Gu Xingze's dry and warm palm blocked Ning Mu's curses. He lowered his head to speak, and Yun Shu could only hear his voice.
"Congratulations."
She closed her eyes and rubbed gently into his palm, swallowed the congestion in her throat, and said, "Thank you."
After being escorted out of the court, there was a long staircase outside, and everyone in the hearing room slowly walked down.
When Ning Zhixia passed by her, she stood still and said, "Congratulations."
She replied: "Same joy."
Chu Xiaoqin and Lu Mingzhu stood two meters away, looking at her in silence.
She looked at each other for a few seconds, but neither of them had any intention of speaking.
Finally, she nodded slightly in greeting, turned around and walked downstairs with Gu Xingze.
Seeing them come out, Assistant Lin got out of the car with a sealed bag and handed it to Gu Xingze.
Gu Xingze then handed it over to her.
"What is it?" she asked.
"ID card, household register. The one you originally brought is no longer found. This is a new one. The police will handle it specially."
These two certificates, which symbolized the legal protection of citizenship, fell into her hands, leaving her in a daze.
Before leaving home, in the mountainous areas, ID cards were just cards wrapped in layers of plastic sheets.
Everyone is accustomed to only using the registration book, and they don't use it much. She only used it once or twice when she first entered school.
Later, when she was accompanying her father in the hospital, she went out of her way to apply for an ID card. She had just become an adult at that time.
When I arrived here later, there was no need for public travel, and there was no occasion or opportunity to prove my identity. Both of these things were almost completely forgotten.
Now fairness is back, and so is the aboveboard identity.
Yun Shu opened the household registration book and found on the first page the household registration addresses of a family of three.
On the second page of the home page, there are three brand new words "Yun Huanzhi" printed on it, followed by "Huang Suqing" on the next page, and finally her name.
…She hasn’t seen these two names in a long time.
Apart from the two tombs buried on the mountain, it turned out that there was another thing that directly and clearly recorded their relationship with her.
She stared with wide eyes and ran her fingers over the two names next to each other.
Then he looked back at the large legal emblem above the court.
It happened that the sun was shining brightly, making the solemn red and yellow colors seem to glow.
It was so dazzling that it stung her eyes.
All kinds of emotions are like a well filled with water at this moment, slowly but unstoppably spreading and rising.
Although there are no obvious fluctuations, there is a heavy sense of reality that the dust has settled and no waves can rise.
She smiled and wiped away two tears, then hugged Gu Xingze.
