For dinner in the evening, He Zheng not only called Xia Xingcheng, but also called Ling Jiayue.
Since the shooting of this drama, Xia Xingcheng and Ling Jiayue have not had many rival dramas, and the two of them have little contact in private. Today is also a rare opportunity to sit at the same table for dinner.
During the meal, Ling Jiayue has been very quiet, and when someone talks to her, she answers with a shy smile. Occasionally, she and Xia Xingcheng's eyes met, but with a slight touch, she would immediately turn away.
Xia Xingcheng didn't know if he was too sensitive, but he did care about Ling Jiayue.
The old actor and his wife are kind and hearty, especially the old man is very good at drinking. Yang Youming quietly told Xia Xingcheng that when he was in his early twenties filming with this old gentleman, he would accompany him to drink every day. Almost twenty years passed in the blink of an eye. His only hobby is alcohol.
Yang Youming and He Zheng both drank with the old man and talked with the old gentleman about the past. At this time, Xia Xingcheng was speechless. He usually sat next to them and listened to them. Warm noodles to warm your stomach.
By the time the meal was over, Yang Youming had drunk a little too much, and he unconsciously leaned on Xia Xingcheng beside him.
No assistants were around, He Zheng greeted Xia Xingcheng to help him settle the bill.
Xia Xingcheng supported Yang Youming and let him lean on the back of his chair, then left the private room and went to the counter to pay the bill.
It took him some time to wait for the checkout, and when he came back, he saw that the private room door was open, he reached out and opened it, and found that He Zheng and the old couple were no longer inside. There were only Yang Youming and Ling Jiayue in the private room.
Yang Youming sat on the chair with his head drooping slightly. In front of him was Ling Jiayue, who was squatting on the ground and looking up at him.
Ling Jiayue didn't notice Xia Xingcheng, she seemed to have said something to Yang Youming just now, and reached out her hand to help Yang Youming.
Xia Xingcheng said at this time, "I'll come." He walked over as he spoke.
As if frightened, Ling Jiayue immediately retracted her hand, stood up, and stepped aside.
Xia Xingcheng walked to Yang Youming and bent over to support him.
Yang Youming raised his eyes to see Xia Xingcheng, reached out to him, put his hand on his shoulder and stood up.
Xia Xingcheng felt that Yang Youming really drank too much, and the whole person seemed to be unable to bear it. He drank more than he drank at his house during the Chinese New Year last year.
He used a lot of strength to hold Yang Youming to go outside, but Yang Youming suddenly turned his head, kissed him hard on the neck, and shouted, "Xingcheng."
Xia Xingcheng subconsciously turned his head to look at Ling Jiayue, and was shocked when he saw Ling Jiayue's eyes. Ling Jiayue was looking at him, there was no expression on her beautiful white face, only a pair of eyes stared straight at Xia Xingcheng, with an indescribable hatred.
At that time, Xia Xingcheng just swept away, he pulled Yang Youming's body up, and when he walked to the door of the private room and looked back, Ling Jiayue had lowered his head and stopped looking at them.
The car that picked them up was already waiting outside the restaurant. Li Yun and Hua Hua both came in Yang Youming's nanny car. The two of them ran over to help Xia Xingcheng support Yang Youming.
Li Yun whispered, "Why do you drink so much?"
He Zheng and the two old people had already got into another car. He Zheng called Xia Xingcheng over with the window open, and instructed him to take Ling Jiayue back to the hotel together.
When Xia Xingcheng came back, Li Yun and Huahua had already helped Yang Youming to get into the car. He turned around to look at Ling Jiayue and said, "Get in the car and let's go back together."
Ling Jiayue nodded.
It took more than half an hour to drive from the restaurant to the hotel. Xia Xingcheng sat beside Yang Youming. Yang Youming closed his eyes and rested his head on Xia Xingcheng's shoulder, as if he was asleep.
Ling Jiayue sat opposite them, with Huahua and Li Yun.
Hua Hua lowered her voice and whispered to Li Yun, "Brother Ming can't drink enough, he's so drunk."
Li Yun said, "It was fine when I was young, but now I'm older."
Xia Xingcheng suddenly heard Yang Youming speak in his ear in a low voice, "I'm still awake."
Huahua was taken aback, she said quickly, "Brother Ming, I didn't speak ill of you."
Yang Youming laughed, but still leaned against Xia Xingcheng with his eyes closed, "Li Yun is right, my alcohol intake is indeed worse than a year." He seemed a little uncomfortable, and rubbed against Xia Xingcheng's shoulder, trying to find a better place to drink. comfortable location.
Xia Xingcheng raised his hand and touched his forehead, feeling that his forehead and cheeks were hot.
Yang Youming said to him softly, "I'm fine. Today's wine is a little overdone, but I'm just not feeling well."
Xia Xingcheng noticed that Ling Jiayue turned her head to look out the car window. After a while, she didn't know if she felt bored, so she reached out and opened the car window.
"Close it," Xia Xingcheng said to her immediately, "don't blow your hair after drinking."
Ling Jiayue looked at him with a simple expression, and quickly closed the car window and said, "I'm sorry."
Yang Youming opened his eyes and said to Ling Jiayue, "It's okay."
Ling Jiayue looked at him for a while, then lowered her eyes.
Xia Xingcheng has been looking at Ling Jiayue. He is a little unsure whether the lights in the private room were too dim at that time, so Ling Jiayue's unfriendly eyes were just his illusion.
The scenes of thinking and discussing the case in the office in uniform were all filmed on the same day before.
This is what happened after Zheng Xujiang supplemented Han Baihan with the materials about the accident of Sun Xunyan falling from a building, and supplemented with the accident materials, and Han Baihan asked the police to collect the testimony of a friend who had contact with Cao Yuxiang before his death. This friend is He was a middle school classmate. It was summer vacation at the time. Cao Yuxiang came back from the university vacation and had a party with this friend the day before the accident.
Han Baihan showed Xiaowei the accident materials about Sun Xunyan's fall from the building and let him read it first. When Xiaowei took it, he said, "Sun Xunyan definitely didn't jump off the building by himself. I can't figure out why Cao Yuxiang deserves to let her commit suicide for him. ."
Han Baihan only said one sentence: "Don't judge people by their appearance."
He sat in a chair and looked at the transcript of Cao Yuxiang, his expression remained calm until he turned to the third page, his eyes fell on one place, he stopped, grabbed a pen on the table, and put it in the row across the cap. A line was drawn under the word, and then he continued to look back.
Xiao Wei, who was sitting behind a desk not far from him, suddenly jumped up, walked to Han Bohan's desk with a few transcripts, and said, "Brother Han, I think there is something wrong with this."
Han Baihan raised his head and looked at him.
Xiaowei said: "The two students who confirmed that Cao Yuxiang and Sun Xunyan were in a relationship were both Cao Yuxiang's classmates. When asked how they knew about the relationship between Cao Yuxiang and Sun Xunyan, they all said that Cao Yuxiang said it himself. Cao Yuxiang said he was chasing Sun Xunyan later said that he had caught up, and it was only a week from when he said he had caught up until Sun Xunyan fell from the building."
Han Baihan didn't say anything, and read the transcript from his hand.
Xiaowei squatted down halfway in front of the desk, eye-level with Han Baihan, and said, "Sun Xunyan's head teacher just said that one night in self-study, he saw Sun Xunyan and Cao Yuxiang go out to school together, but leaving school together does not mean two people. We were in love. At that time, only Cao Yuxiang was alone at the scene of Sun Xunyan's fall from the building. Naturally, Cao Yuxiang said whatever he wanted."
"A person can say what he wants to say at the scene," Han Baihan repeated Xiao Wei's words inadvertently.
Xiaowei said, "A girl jumped off a building just for the man to break up after being in a relationship for less than a week?"
Han Baihan looked at him, "Then what do you think?"
Xiaowei rubbed his chin and thought for a while, "I have a guess, do you think it might be that Cao Yuxiang pursued Sun Xunyan but failed to catch up. He locked Sun Xunyan in the classroom after school and wanted to rape her, but Sun Xunyan jumped off the building and fell into a vegetative state. Cao Yuxiang was thirsty. If you don't die, you turned into Sun Xunyan's room at night and wanted to rape her, but was strangled to death by Sun Yao?"
Han Baihan picked up the copy of Cao Yuxiang's classmate's transcript on the table and showed it to Xiaowei, and pointed to the sentence he crossed just now," Cao Yuxiang's classmate said that they met a day before Cao Yuxiang's accident, and Cao Yuxiang mentioned He met the girl he liked in high school, and he wanted to find her."
Xiaowei leaned closer and read the line carefully, then looked at Han Baihan: "Sun Xunyan?"
Han Baihan didn't shake his head or nod, he just said, "This makes sense why Cao Yuxiang would go into Sun Yao's house and intend to rape Sun Xunyan."
Xiao Wei scolded indignantly: "Scum!"
Han Baihan put the transcript back on the desktop.
Xiaowei said: "Sun Xunyan should be investigated. What happened at that time is definitely not that simple."
Han Baihan shook his head, "Cao Yuxiang is dead, it is impossible to file a case again, and there is no way to investigate."
Xiaowei sighed: "Unless Sun Xunyan wakes up one day."
Han Bai was silent.
This case was in the hands of Han Baihan. After reporting to the section chief and the chief prosecutor, and after discussion in the section, he finally decided that it was self-defense and did not constitute a crime.
The chief prosecutor asked him if there was still room for supplementary evidence. Han Bohan said that he had supplemented everything that could be supplemented. At present, all the evidence was corroborated with Sun Yao’s statement. If he believed in Sun Yao’s statement, he believed that Sun Yao’s statement The conduct is in accordance with legitimate defense. Sun Yao also has a comatose daughter who has no one to take care of now. Since he has to deal with it without suing, it is better to let Sun Yao go out to take care of his daughter as soon as possible.
The case went to the Prosecution Committee.
A member of the Prosecution Committee asked Han Baihan: "Sun Yao used his arm to restrain the victim, and the victim lost consciousness in the middle. He still didn't let go. Isn't he being too defensive?"
Han Baihan replied: "I don't think Sun Yao could calmly judge whether Cao Yuxiang had lost consciousness under such circumstances. When he let go for the first time, Cao Yuxiang picked up a wooden stick and tried to attack his father and daughter again. It is understandable that he did not dare to let go of Cao Yuxiang for the second time out of self-defense. His original intention was not to kill Cao Yuxiang, but to prevent him from continuing to attack himself and his daughter."
A member of the committee also asked him: "Cao Yuxiang went in through the window to rape a comatose person. Isn't his behavior a bit strange?"
Han Baihan showed them the witness testimony excerpted from the review report: "The day before the incident, Cao Yuxiang told his classmates that he had seen a girl he liked in high school and wanted to go to her. Cao Yuxiang's behavior seemed unreasonable, but there were traces. Followable."
In the end, the Prosecution Committee agreed with Han Bohan's opinion on Sun Yao's suspected intentional homicide case.
Sun Yao will be acquitted.
The follow-up work for Sun Yao's release has nothing to do with Han Baihan. He has other cases to deal with, and he doesn't care about Sun Yao anymore.
On this day, he drove to the detention center as usual. The road in front of the city detention center was always crowded with cars.
Han Baihan was about to make a left turn at the intersection, but after a long distance, he stepped on the brakes and stopped behind a long line of cars to wait for the red light.
Outside the car window was the iron gate of the detention center where the detainees were released. The iron gate was closed, but there were many people standing outside, all of whom came to greet the released family members or friends.
Han Baihan put his head on one hand and looked out, and saw a girl in a white dress squatting at the foot of the outer wall of the detention center near the iron gate, staring in a daze.
That girl was too conspicuous among the crowd waiting to be picked up from the detention center. Seeing her face, Han Baihan immediately recalled that he had seen her.
He stared at the girl for a long time, she kept squatting motionless, her expression did not change. It wasn't until the green light for a left turn came on and Xiaowei urged him to drive that Han Baihan switched gears and drove the car forward.
