I Fell In Love With Qing Leng Xue Shen Chapter 76
byChapter 76 Won
At dusk, the orange-red sunset smudged half of the sky, coating the glass curtain wall of Jingyi Law Firm with a gentle luster.
At six o’clock in the afternoon, a black Bentley with smooth lines parked quietly beside the boulevard downstairs of the law firm.
Lu Jin was leaning against the car door, his silver-gray hair slightly raised by the evening breeze, glowing with a cold and carefree light in the dusk.
He was wearing a black short-sleeved shirt and a windbreaker of the same color, with his slender legs crossed.
His eyes fell casually in the direction of the revolving door of the law firm. He exuded a sense of alienation that kept strangers away from him, but because of his overly handsome face, he attracted frequent glances from passersby.
Just as the hour hand passed six and two, the revolving door made a soft “ding” sound, and Xie Shuhan’s figure walked out.
He was still wearing the suit he had during the day, his tie was loosened, and his cuffs were rolled up to his forearm, revealing a fair and slender wrist. The ring on his finger shone thinly in the sunset.
Probably because he had been busy all day, there was a hint of tiredness in his brows, but his eyes were still cold, like a clear spring soaked in moonlight.
Lu Jin’s eyes lit up instantly, he stood up straight, and a gentle smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
As soon as Xie Shuhan reached the bottom of the steps, he was pulled into his arms by a familiar force.
Lu Jin’s embrace was warm, and it was Xie Shuhan’s sense of security that was engraved in his bones.
He was startled for a moment, then relaxed his body, leaning his face against Lu Jin’s chest. Listening to his steady and powerful heartbeat, the tension and depression caused by the files during the day disappeared at this moment.
“Thank you, wife.” Lu Jin lowered his head and rested his chin on the top of Xie Shuhan’s hair. His voice was low and gentle, with a bit of heartache.
His palms gently rubbed Xie Shuhan’s back, as if comforting a tired little beast.
Xie Shuhan didn’t speak, just said “hmm” softly, put his arms around Lu Jin’s waist, and buried his face deeper.
The evening wind passed by, picking up the corners of their clothes and entangled them together.
After a moment, Lu Jin let go of him, straightened his hair that was blown by the wind, and gently brushed his cheek with his fingertips: “Let’s go home.”
Xie Shuhan nodded and was led by Lu Jin into the passenger seat.
Lu Jin handed over a glass of warm milk, and Xie Shuhan took it, feeling warmth on his fingertips.
The car slowly drove away from the roadside and merged into the evening rush hour traffic.
The neon lights outside the window lit up one after another, and the colorful light and shadow reflected on Xie Shuhan’s profile, outlining a soft outline.
“How is the progress of the case?” Lu Jin looked forward, his fingers holding the steering wheel clearly knuckled, and his voice was very soft, so as not to disturb the people around him.
Xie Shuhan took a sip of milk, and when he heard the words, he gently rubbed the side of the cup with his fingertips, and spoke out one by one the doubts he had sorted out during the day.
His voice was calm, but Lu Jin could still hear the helplessness and anger in his words.
Lu Jin’s brows wrinkled slightly, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
He was silent for a moment and then spoke thoughtfully: “The fingerprints that were forcibly pressed will have overlapping and blurred traces, but Lin Xi’s fingerprints are clear and complete… Could it be that the fingerprints were left when she was conscious, but she just didn’t remember it?”
Xie Shuhan’s heart skipped a beat.
This was an angle he hadn’t thought of during the day.
“You mean…”
“Yes.” Lu Jin nodded, his eyes heavy, “Some drugs can cause temporary amnesia. Perhaps the suspect took advantage of this to make her accidentally touch the condom package while she was conscious but under the influence of the drug, and then made her forget about it. In this way, the fingerprints became ‘ironclad evidence’.”
Xie Shuhan’s eyes lit up, as if a ray of light broke through the fog.
His fingers holding the milk glass tightened slightly, and the messy clues in his mind seemed to have a clear context at this moment.
“I’ll go see Lin Xi tomorrow.” Xie Shuhan’s tone was determined, “Maybe I can get some clues from her.”
Lu Jin glanced at him, his eyes full of support: “Do you need my help? Regarding Zhang Chi’s background, I can…”
“No need.” Xie Shuhan interrupted him and shook his head, “This is my case. I want to solve it by my own ability.”
Lu Jin understood his temperament and said nothing more. He just stretched out his hand and rubbed his hair with a gentle tone: “Okay, I believe you.”
That night, Xie Shuhan barely slept.
He turned over the file again, combined it with Lu Jin’s guess, and considered every detail again and again. Until the sky turned white, he closed his eyes and took a nap.
Early the next morning, Xie Shuhan drove to the hospital where Lin Xi was located.
Lin Xi lived in a single ward in the inpatient department. Her face was pale and her eyes were frightened and fragile. When she saw Xie Shuhan coming in, she subconsciously shrank her shoulders, like a frightened little rabbit.
“Hello, Miss Lin. I am Xie Shuhan, your defense lawyer.” Xie Shuhan stepped lightly, his voice was gentle, and he tried not to sound aggressive.
He sat on the chair next to the hospital bed. He did not take out the file, but asked softly, “I want to ask you, on the night of the party, besides drinking the cocktail that Zhang Chi handed you, did you eat anything?”
Lin Xi was stunned, lowered his head and thought for a moment, and said in a voice as thin as a gnat: “I drank a glass of cocktail, and then… Zhang Chi said that I looked bad, and gave me a candy, saying it would refresh me. I was a little dizzy at the time, so I ate it without thinking about it.”
Xie Shuhan’s eyes suddenly lit up: “What does candy look like? Where is the packaging?”
“It was white, round, and covered with a layer of transparent candy wrapper.” Lin Xi recalled, “I threw the candy wrapper casually on the table in the box, and then… I don’t remember it anymore.”
Xie Shuhan’s heart sank. There was no surveillance in the box, so the candy wrapper might have been disposed of long ago by Zhang Chi’s people.
He was not discouraged and continued to ask: “Think about it again, have you touched anything after eating the candy? For example… what item was handed over by Zhang Chi?”
Lin Xi’s brows furrowed tightly as she tried to remember. After a moment, her body trembled slightly, as if she remembered something: “I… I seem to remember that after eating the candy, Zhang Chi brought a small box over and asked me to open it for him. I was dizzy at the time, so I reached out to help him unpack… The packaging was silver and a bit slippery…”
Silver packaging.
Condom packaging is mostly made of silver tin foil.
“Then what?” he asked, his voice as gentle as possible.
“Then…then I became even more dizzy. I fell asleep on the table, and when I woke up, I was on the hotel bed.” Lin Xi’s voice was filled with tears, and her eyes were filled with tears. “I really have never touched that thing…Lawyer Xie, you must believe me…”
“I believe you.” Xie Shuhan looked at her with firm eyes, “Don’t worry, I will definitely give you justice.”
After leaving the hospital, Xie Shuhan immediately drove to the private club.
He asked countless people and finally found out that on the night of the party, when cleaning the box, the cleaner picked up a crumpled transparent candy wrapper and put it away because he thought it looked good.
The moment Xie Shuhan got the candy wrapper, he immediately sent the candy wrapper to the forensic identification center for expedited testing.
The moment the test results came out, Xie Shuhan’s hanging heart finally fell to the ground.
There was a large amount of sedative drug ingredients remaining on the candy paper, which were exactly the same as those in Lin Xi’s body. In addition to Lin Xi’s fingerprints, there were also Zhang Chi’s fingerprints on the candy paper.
It turned out that Zhang Chi had carefully planned everything.
He first put a small amount of drugs in the cocktail to make Lin Xi unconscious, and then took out sugar mixed with high-concentration drugs and coaxed her to eat it.
In the short interval before the drug took effect, he took out the condom package and asked Lin Xi to help open it, leaving clear fingerprints. After the drug took full effect and Lin Xi fell into a coma, he committed the assault.
Afterwards, he pretended to be “voluntary”, destroyed the candy wrappers, and bribed witnesses.
Xie Shuhan took the new test report and evidence and immediately contacted the police.
The evidence is overwhelming and Zhang Chi’s lies are self-defeating.
The bribed witnesses also confessed the truth under police interrogation.
The forces behind Zhang Chi tried to intervene, but were suppressed by Lu Jin calmly.
Although Lu Jin promised Xie Shuhan not to interfere in the case, he secretly cleared away all obstacles that might hinder justice.
In court, Xie Shuhan stated the case clearly and logically and presented all the evidence.
When the test report of the candy wrapper was shown, Zhang Chi’s face turned as pale as a sheet of paper.
In the end, the court pronounced Zhang Chi guilty of forced indecency and attempted rape, and was sentenced to five years in prison.
The moment the gavel fell, Xie Shuhan looked at Lin Xi in the auditorium.
The girl’s face was covered with tears, but she showed a relieved smile.
When we walked out of the court, the sun was just right.
Lu Jin was standing at the foot of the steps not far away, with flying silver hair and a gentle smile.
Xie Shuhan walked over.
“Win.” He raised his head, his eyes sparkling like stars.
Lu Jin lowered his head and kissed his forehead. His voice was so gentle that it could drip water: “I knew that my wife is the most powerful.”
The sun shone down, stretching the silhouettes of the two people very long.
