I Fell In Love With Qing Leng Xue Shen Chapter 74
byChapter 74 Hanhan joins the job
Xie Shuhan had just sat down at his workstation by the window, with his fingertips still covered in the warmth of the sun, when a clear female voice came from behind him.
He turned slightly sideways and his eyes fell on the person who came. She was a young woman wearing a smoky gray suit and skirt. Her long hair was pulled into a neat low bun, her makeup was exquisite, and her eyebrows had just the right amount of affinity.
“Hello, Lawyer Xie.” The woman reached out her hand proactively with a bright smile, “My name is Shan Qingqing, and I am a litigation assistant in the firm. You have just arrived, and you are not familiar with the procedures and connections in the firm? Can you add me on WeChat? If you don’t understand anything in the future, you can always ask me.”
Her voice was clear and sweet, and her tone was full of enthusiasm. It was obvious that she really wanted to help the newcomer.
Several colleagues who were quietly sizing him up also had expressions of understanding. After all, Xie Shuhan’s clean appearance and resume from a top university made him the focus of many people’s secret attention when he first entered the institute.
Xie Shuhan stood up and nodded slightly, but did not hold the handed hand.
His posture was polite and distant, and his voice was still as cold as ever, like the wind blowing through the sycamore leaves in early autumn: “No need to bother, thank you.”
A concise sentence with an undeniable sense of proportion.
Shan Qingqing’s half-stretched hand froze in the air, and the smile on his face paused.
She didn’t feel embarrassed, but she was a little surprised. She had been in the job for so long, and she had never seen a newcomer who could refuse so simply.
However, the other party’s eyes were clean and open, without any hint of arrogance, which made people unable to bear the slightest dissatisfaction.
She retracted her hand, her fingertips caressing the edge of the folder unconsciously, and her eyes inadvertently glanced at Xie Shuhan’s hand hanging by her side.
The next second, she opened her eyes slightly and fixed her gaze on the ring on her ring finger.
The style of the ring is simple and elegant. The ring holder is inlaid with a broken diamond, which reflects fine and restrained light under the fluorescent lamp. It is not ostentatious, but eye-catching enough.
Shan Qingqing was stunned for a moment, then blurted out: “Lawyer Xie…are you married?”
Hearing this question, Xie Shuhan lowered his eyes and glanced at the ring on his hand. The coldness in his eyes suddenly dissipated a little, as if stones were thrown into the lake, and a circle of gentle ripples spread out.
His tone unconsciously softened, and even the end of it was tinged with a hint of imperceptible warmth: “Yes.”
Just two words, but with some kind of determined power, they gently blocked the temptation and curiosity hidden around them.
Shan Qingqing came back to her senses, and a decent smile appeared on her face again, with a hint of sincere envy in her tone: “Ah, I didn’t expect Lawyer Xie to get married at such a young age, then… I wish you happiness.
She sees things clearly. Appreciation in the workplace is appreciation. Since the other party already belongs to him, there is no need to dwell too much on him.
Excellent people are always favored by others, but an adult’s sense of propriety is to know how to stop in time.
“Thank you.Xie Shuhan nodded slightly and watched Shan Qingqing turn around and leave.
The surrounding chatter gradually subsided, and the colleagues withdrew their gazes and concentrated on the work at hand.
Xie Shuhan also sat back on the chair, leaving that little episode behind.
He turned on his computer, logged into the law firm’s internal system, and began browsing the files to be assigned.
With his academic qualifications from a top law school and his practical experience in participating in many major cases while in school, Xie Shuhan was rated as a formal practicing lawyer as soon as he joined the job. He did not need to start with the chores of organizing case files and copying materials like a newcomer, and was directly qualified to take over independent cases.
The list of electronic files scrolls slowly on the screen, including car accident disputes, breach of contract, intellectual property infringement…
Case after case passed by, Xie Shuhan’s eyes remained calm and calm.
Until a file marked “forced indecency, attempted rape” came into his eyes.
His fingertips paused on the mouse, and his brows furrowed almost imperceptibly.
Xie Shuhan clicked to open the file, and dense text and evidence materials instantly filled the screen.
The case is not actually complicated, but it makes people feel depressed.
The 25-year-old male suspect is the young owner of a local real estate company. He comes from a wealthy family and has a profound background.
The victim was a 21-year-old female college student who met at a friend’s party.
According to the girl’s report materials, she was drugged by the suspect that night and was assaulted while unconscious. She called the police as soon as she woke up.
But the suspect’s confession was completely the opposite.
He claimed that the relationship between the two was voluntary, and even produced the key “evidence”, a condom with the girl’s fingerprints.
After testing by the Forensic Identification Center, the girl’s fingerprints were indeed left on the inside of the condom package, which became the suspect’s strongest defense.
What’s even more troublesome is that the suspect’s family has hired a well-known defense lawyer in the industry, with a tough attitude and pressing forward step by step.
The girl, on the other hand, came from an ordinary family and could not afford a big-name lawyer. She went to several law firms, but they all did not dare to take on the case because they were afraid of the suspect’s background.
This file has been hanging in the system for more than half a month, and no one has paid any attention to it.
Xie Shuhan’s fingertips ran across the photo of the girl on the screen. It was a girl with clean eyebrows. Her eyes in the photo were timid, but she showed a stubbornness that refused to give in.
The file also comes with a hospital inspection report, which clearly records the remaining drug ingredients in the girl’s body, as well as multiple soft tissue contusions on her body.
The chain of evidence was obviously very clear, but because of a fingerprint, the other party turned it upside down.
Xie Shuhan’s eyes darkened, and his slender fingers gently tapped the table, making regular soft sounds.
The sunlight outside the window shone through the glass and fell on his pursed lips.
Some bottom lines cannot be compromised; some justice must be fought for.
After a long time, Xie Shuhan raised his hand and typed his name in the distribution column of the file.
The moment you click the mouse to confirm, a prompt box pops up on the screen: “Confirm to take over the case?”
Put your fingertips down and tap lightly.
“Confirm.”
The wind outside the window rustled the branches and leaves of the camphor tree.
In the office area, the sound of the printer spitting out paper and the sound of keyboard typing intertwined into a busy background.
Xie Shuhan downloaded and printed the dossier, and a thick stack of paper fell on the table with a dull sound.
He picked up the file and brushed the girl’s name on the cover with his fingertips, his eyes calm and focused.
He took the case.
Lawyers are born for justice, and the dignity of the law cannot be desecrated.
