"Since you said you have evidence, then show it."

At this time, the chief judge suddenly spoke and broke the silence. But at this moment, I just felt like a deer pushed to the edge of a cliff by a hunter. Now I only had one choice, and that was to jump. After hesitating for a moment, I chose to speak.

said:

"The evidence is at my home. It's a diary in a cardboard box on the coffee table."

After saying this, I regretted it. The cardboard box contained not only Wu Jian's diary, but also the bloody photos and the blood-sucking parchment. Of course, what worried me most was not the parchment.

, because even if you open it, it is full of horror. At this moment, what I am most worried about is the pile of photos. Those photos are close-ups of the corpses taken after the murder, and if the police find those photos, I can't explain them at all.

Source of photo.

But at this time, I had no way out. Standing in the court, the words I spoke were like water being thrown out, and I couldn't take them back no matter what.

"Then write down the address of your home in detail, then give the key to the bailiff and ask them to drive to your house to pick up the so-called evidence. Don't worry, after the diary you mentioned, the bailiff will not touch the rest of your house.

anything."

Hearing the words of the chief judge, I suddenly felt as if the sky was falling. Now, I am appearing at the trial as Wu Jian's defense lawyer, but if the judge discovers those photos, it is difficult for me to guarantee whether I will be there.

After Lawyer Fan, he became a new criminal suspect.

Soon, several bailiffs came over with pens and paper. After writing down my home address and handing them the key to the door, they left with the piece of paper. At this moment, I was sitting on the defendant's side.

At the defense lawyer's table, I just felt like I was sitting on pins and needles. Turning my head, I looked in the direction of the auditorium, and suddenly I found that Taoist Changyun was looking at me. When my eyes met his, I saw

He nodded slightly and looked very calm. That feeling seemed to be telling me not to worry.

For some reason, every time I see Taoist Changyun, I feel as if I am not fighting alone. He gives people a very reliable feeling. Moving my eyes, I saw Deng Xin and Shi Shi not far away.

Colleagues in the firm. At this moment, their faces were full of confusion and strangeness. For them, first I appeared in the position of the defendant’s defense lawyer, and then it was revealed that Lawyer Fan in the neighboring firm was a murderer.

The murderer. This sudden change seems to make everyone unable to understand and at a loss what to do.

My eyes swept across the auditorium one by one, but I didn't see the old Taoist priest at this time. He was still there during the morning trial, but I never saw him again when the court session opened in the afternoon. Thinking back to this morning

The strange look he looked at me made me feel relieved. Maybe he had already chosen not to interact with me since I sat on this chair.

Looking back, there have only been three people sitting in the plaintiff's seat opposite since the court session began in the afternoon. I don't know if it was because what Lawyer Fan said in the morning stimulated them. When the adjournment of the court was announced at noon, many people chose to leave.

Sometimes the waiting time is short, and sometimes it is very long. I understand that when the leaving bailiffs enter the court again, it is the beginning of a new round of despair for me. Sitting on the chair now, I even hope that they will always be there.

Don't come back.

Time passed slowly, and every judge sitting on the bench frowned, as if they did not recognize the evidence I mentioned and the anxiety caused by waiting made their mood at the moment not too good.

Okay. I don’t know what the final result of this trial will be, but for now, for me, I am like a little ant, trying to pull the elephant out of the pit on my own.

Pull it out, and the result can be imagined. It seems that due to the influence of the waiting period, my mood has changed slightly. At this moment, I no longer have much hope, I only hope that in this trial

I was able to pull away perfectly during the process.

Not long after, the bailiffs who had left before walked into the door of the court with a diary. At this time, my whole nerves were tense. At this time, I was like a criminal waiting for trial.

This process was so torturous. When they all stood in the center of the court, I stared at everyone's hands with wide eyes, but the result made me confused. This diary and those photos were

Put it in that box. Since they can find this diary, there is no reason why they can't find that pile of photos.

But no matter how I observed, except for the first bailiff who walked in, who held Wu Jian's diary, the other bailiffs didn't have anything in their hands.

"Is this the evidence you said?"

After taking the diary in hand, the chief judge with a Chinese character sitting in the middle asked. I didn't speak, I just nodded lightly because I understood that this diary was not strictly speaking.

It can't be called evidence. I blurted it out because of my own impatience before, but now I can't get back to it.

Under the eyes of everyone, the judge slowly opened the diary, and then read page by page. At this moment, everyone held their breath, waiting for the judge's next words. But at this time, the chief judge

He didn't mean to be anxious, and he didn't know what he saw. After turning over a few pages, he could only see his brows furrowed, as if he was thinking about something. Time passed by, and he slowly put it down.

He picked up the diary in his hand, then looked up at me and said:

"This diary can also be used as one of the evidences for reference. However, I only have one question now. Have you ever interacted with the criminal suspect Wu Jian before?"

I shook my head, and then I saw him suddenly look at Wu Jian beside me. Like me, Wu Jian also shook his head. After seeing our reactions, he continued to speak:

"Since you have never had any interactions before and you don't know each other, then where did you get this diary?"

When the chief judge asked the previous question, I instinctively felt that something had changed. But when he spoke again, I felt as if I had fallen into an ice cellar. Yes, how should I explain the origin of this diary?

?

My lips trembled, and I wanted to speak, but at this moment I didn't know how to answer this question. The word "I" was stuck in my throat, but I couldn't spit it out at this moment.

"Actually, I had a question from the beginning. I just learned that you are not related to each other, but why did you take such a big risk to defend a suspect in a serial murder case?

I think, since you have a lawyer's license, you must understand the nature of this case and why you want to get involved? Could it be that Wu Jian or someone else gave you a huge benefit, so you
