Perhaps it was because it was the second time he slept on a single hard bed in a detention center that Su Ruoxing got used to it.
Maybe it was because she was too tired, but in short, she slept until dawn that night.
Even she was surprised. Her heart was bigger than she thought. She had become a murderer, but she could still sleep.
But that night, Qiao Zhanchen didn't come.
In the dream, he did come, but it was a nightmare.
She dreamed that Qiao Zhanchen and a woman appeared on a red carpet strewn with rose petals.
One is more handsome than an international superstar in a dress, and the other has a sweet smile in a white wedding dress.
The two held hands and walked into the wedding hall happily.
The bride's slender back looks very much like her.
She was about to cheer happily when the bride turned around.
The smile on her face solidified instantly.
The bride is Qiao Chixuan, and she laughs at her with full of sarcasm,
"Su Ruoxing, please stop having such wishful thinking. Brother Zhan Chen is mine. He loves me~ It's me~ It's me~"
…
When Su Ruoxing thought of the scene in her dream of Qiao Zhanchen getting married to someone else, her heart felt like thousands of tiny needles were pricking her, making her feel as uncomfortable as if she had suffered the ten most severe tortures of the Qing Dynasty.
"Professor Su?"
Wu Kuang shouted several times, but Su Ruoxing seemed to have lost his soul and had no response.
"Professor Su, your lawyer is here."
Wu Kuang's last words finally brought Su Ruoxing back to reality.
This time she is involved in a criminal homicide case, which is of a serious nature.
However, Su Junde took Dabao into a cave for retreat and has not come back yet.
After receiving the notice, the Su family did not slack off and immediately hired a very experienced and well-known defense lawyer in the city to help Su Ruoxing.
Su Ruoxing told the lawyer the truth about the situation.
"Lawyer Wan, this is the situation. I want to know the results of Qin Kangbo's autopsy."
"The autopsy results are not out yet.
However, the evidence is complete, and according to Professor Su, Qin Kangbo was alone in the room after Lu Yaning left, and did not go out or meet anyone else.
Therefore, no matter what the autopsy results are, it will be very detrimental to you."
Lawyer Wan thought about it and put forward what he thought was a very pertinent suggestion.
"Professor Su, if you believe me, you will plead guilty."
"Confess?"
Su Ruoxing never expected that the lawyer she relied on would ask her to plead guilty right from the start.
She refused righteously, "I want to know the truth, not just admit guilt casually."
Lawyer Wan naturally has his reasons,
"Professor Su, as long as you plead guilty, I guarantee that this case can be convicted of manslaughter.
In other words, you had serious problems both physically and mentally at that time.
And you witnessed with your own eyes that Qin Kangbo wanted to violate the little girl. In desperation, in order to save him, you caused the acupuncture to go wrong.
Therefore, once it is judged to be accidental injury, I can help you reduce the penalty to the minimum and even get a suspended sentence, which is the best result of this case."
Su Ruoxing understood the lawyer's advice.
If she pleads guilty and is prosecuted as manslaughter, she will not go to jail in the end, but she will be convicted of murder.
Su Ruoxing suddenly stood up, her face turned cold.
"Lawyer Wan, let me emphasize again, I need to know the truth.
If the autopsy results prove that Qin Kangbo died because of one of my silver needles, I will plead guilty.
But without the autopsy results, I will not plead guilty even if I die.
I was very tired at the time, but my mind was very clear. There was nothing wrong with my hands, and there were no deviations in the acupuncture points I inserted. No matter how wrong my silver needle was, it would not kill anyone."
Seeing that Su Ruoxing was stubborn, Lawyer Wan patiently persuaded her,
"Professor Su, things are unpredictable, and sometimes the truth is hard to find.
Therefore, those who understand current affairs are heroes. The process is not important, but the final result is important.
This is a murder case, which may be punishable by death. Only by taking a step back can the world be brighter.
You have to keep the green hills without fear of running out of firewood, so you must think carefully and never act on impulse."
"If there is no truth, how can I live with peace of mind?"
Su Ruoxing's eyes were extremely stubborn and firm, "If Lawyer Wan doesn't believe me, then let me fend for myself. Lawyer Wan, please come back."
Wu Kuang saw the dispute between Su Ruoxing and Lawyer Wan from the sidelines, and secretly admired Su Ruoxing's justice.
After Lawyer Wan left, he personally took Su Ruoxing back to the room where she was detained.
"Professor Su, I told my colleague that if you need anything, just ask her."
"Thanks."
Su Ruoxing thought for a while and made only one request.
"When the autopsy report comes out, can you tell me the results in time?"
"Okay." After Wu Kuang left, he immediately ran to the forensic department.
Under his pressure, the forensic doctor prioritized the autopsy on Qin Kangbo's body.
But just as Lawyer Wan said, as soon as the autopsy results came out, Su Ruoxing was almost sentenced to death in advance.
Wu Kuang came to see Su Ruoxing with the results, feeling heavy.
"Professor Su, the autopsy results show that Qin Kangbo died of sudden cerebral hemorrhage.
And your injection, although not fatal, happened to cause cerebral hemorrhage.
Therefore, although you had no intention of killing, the result was Qin Kangbo's death. Let me help you bring Lawyer Wan back and ask him to help you fight manslaughter."
"No, thank you. Since I am the one who killed the person, I should plead guilty and be sentenced to death or go to jail."
Su Ruoxing didn't hear a word of what Wu Kuang said later.
She couldn't accept that she had really killed someone, and she didn't dare to ask to see her three children.
She didn't dare to face them because she didn't want them to know that they had a murderer mommy.
Sitting in the detention room, Su Ruoxing looked up at the small window with iron bars.
There is no love in life.
"Qiao Zhanchen, we must take good care of our three children and make them happy throughout their lives and forget about me."
…
Qiao Zhanchen never showed up.
Although Su Ruoxing didn't know why the man was so heartless, she couldn't blame him.
As a murderer, what qualifications does she have to want love from him?
Just when Su Ruoxing's mind was in a mess, the policewoman guarding her shouted,
"Su Ruoxing, someone is visiting."
Even though Su Ruoxing was devastated, her heart still trembled when she heard someone visiting her.
"Police officer, please tell me, who is here to visit me?" Su Ruoxing pinched herself.
Deep down in her heart, she was still looking forward to Qiao Zhanchen's appearance.
"I don't know much about this. I only know that he is a young man."
"Young man..." That should be Qiao Zhanchen.
Su Ruoxing hesitated whether to see him or not.
What should I say when I see him?
She no longer had the qualifications to even blame him for not coming to save him.
After thinking for a moment, Su Ruoxing followed the policewoman to the interview area.
This is a section specially set up for suspects and their families to meet.
The moment he entered the meeting area, Su Ruoxing stayed where he was.
Unexpectedly, the person who came to see her was not Qiao Zhanchen, but Qin Haiqing.
"I'm sorry, Hai Qing, I'm sorry..."
Su Ruoxing has been holding on strong since she entered the detention center and has never shed a single tear.
Until the moment he saw Qin Haiqing, his tears could no longer be controlled and rolled down.
Apart from saying "I'm sorry", Su Ruoxing didn't know how else to express her apology.
Qin Haiqing's eyes were red and he didn't speak for a long time.
The two of them looked at each other with red eyes for a long time, and then Qin Haiqing said slowly,
"Ruoxing, my father is dead. I hope that the people I care about will not be killed or injured again. Just listen to Lawyer Wan and plead guilty to manslaughter. I will forgive you."
"Hai Qing, thank you, I'm sorry..."
Apart from weakly repeating the words "I'm sorry", what else could Su Ruoxing say?
She felt that she was not worthy of being someone Qin Haiqing cared about.
Back in the detention room, Su Ruoxing told herself that no one would be there next.
Even if Qiao Zhanchen comes, he must persuade her to admit manslaughter. 33 Novel Network
No, he didn't even come.
A touch of bitterness and self-deprecation appeared on Su Ruoxing's lips,
"Qiao Zhanchen, I am just a passer-by in your heart, and I will soon pass by silently, right? That's fine, at least you don't care about me anymore, so you won't despise me..."
But even Qin Haiqing, who had a grudge against her for killing her father, came to see her.
As her husband, Qiao Zhanchen turned a blind eye to the fact that she was imprisoned and even sentenced to death for betrayal.
