"Who are you protecting?" Anze put his hand on his, sweating slightly, "Why? With a lawyer here, you have no reason not to defend yourself, you know that doing so will directly send you to prison. court." Xi Wenbo looked at him, "I think I have the right to remain silent."

"No, it's not like you." Anze said firmly, "If you did it, you would definitely bear it without hesitation."

"Really?" Xi Wenbo Songsong said.As smart as Anze, I'm afraid he has already seen through the motives behind his taking this trumped-up charge.

"Lawyer Zhang is the father of my college classmate and a well-known defense lawyer in the United States. You can trust him."

"Trust him in what?"

"I believe he can help you clear your name."

"You didn't use the word 'exculpatory'."

"Because you didn't kill him." Anze said, "Now, I know you didn't."

Xi Wenbai took a deep look at him, and the tiredness brought back from the interrogation room permeated his whole body, he sighed: "I would rather kill him."

Anze was surprised, but his eyes widened as expected.

Back then, Xi Wenbo had indeed made enough plans, to be precise, he had made a plan to kill people, not a plan to get rid of crimes.Xi Wenbo knew that as long as he fired that shot, his life would end with the murderer's, but Xi Wenbo didn't care, he was already broken in that thunderstorm, and he was ready to be judged—in the final analysis, it was He can't let go.

How can this make him let go?

Time did not heal his pain, but instead drilled deeper and deeper. Memories and regrets supported him through the four years without Liao Liming. Xi Wenbo finally practiced his extremism. He didn't know whether he would go to heaven or hell after killing people, but He knew that the range of the gun in his hand was 210 eight yards, the murderer would go out at 47:[-] every day, and the Poinciana, a hundred yards away from his residence, was an excellent bunker.

He is confident in his marksmanship, this bullet will go straight to his chest.

At 6:55, Xi Wenbai hid himself.The butt of the gun was warmed by him, and all he had to do now was wait.But before that, Xi Wenbo had waited long enough. He was good at waiting, but he was not good at waiting.

Then, a warm force pressed his shoulder.Without a trace of threat and malice.

When Xi Wenbai turned his head, the husband was looking at him intently.

He said, "Give me the gun."

"Give me the gun." His voice was very soft, "You have wandered here twelve times in the past two weeks... I am grateful for everything Mr. Liao has done for my family, but these pains should not be You alone bear it.

"You should have filed another appeal four years ago." Xi Wenbai turned his face away, "This is your right, but why did you choose to give it up? If you appealed, the case would be resented, and things might be different..."

"That will be a lawsuit that lasts forever, and I still have a child to take care of." The man looked at him desolately, "You also filed an appeal, didn't you? But... the court rejected it."

"So let me do justice." Xi Wenbo looked at the watch, "You have no right to stand here."

"Give me a chance. My wife and the mother of my children are also among the dead."

"Go away..."

"Mr. Xi, my son and I have been living in Mexico all these years. I didn't go through the border this time, so I don't have any worries... I am more suitable for this than you."

Xi Wenbo gripped the gun even tighter.

"Mr. Liao is your lover, I think...he won't want you to do this for him." The man removed his hands from his shoulders, and said gently but firmly, "Let me do it."

"Give me the gun."

Xi Wenbo was stunned when he heard Liao Liming's name.

If the little doctor was still there, would he see him become what he is now?

can you?

He is so kind, no one wants to blame, and he always chooses to forgive easily. Even on that rainy night, when Xi Wenbai saw him for the last time, Liao Liming smiled, just like they did at the beginning.

Xi Wenbo actually felt a little happy about this.At least they didn't part with resentment towards each other.

Thinking of this, Xi Wenbo's wrists began to tremble.

The man stretched out his hand, and slowly, little by little, he took the pitch-black gun out of his hand.

"Mr. Xi, let's go, get out of here as soon as possible." He looked at his watch, "He will leave at 7:47, won't he?"

Xi Wenbai hesitated for a moment, then drooped his head.

"Take care..." The man stretched out his right hand to Xi Wenbo, and shook hands silently.

"That's why that husband is still living in Mexico... You have to buy time for him to leave before the police find out." An Ze stared at Xi Wenbai, gathering strength in silence, and then broke out, "...Xi Wenbai, you are stupid Ah, if the jury votes you guilty, what do you want me to do? What about your parents?"

"I do what I think is right." Xi Wenbai said, "After two months, no one can find him again."

"No..." Xi Wenbo looked at Anze's expression and changed his words again, "Maybe..."

"Okay..." Anze said, "No matter what decision you make, I will be by your side."

"Love is not blind dedication, Anze."

"Is your love not dedication? I'm afraid it's worse than mine." Anze smiled, "Let's be each other."

Xi Wenbo raised his eyebrows, thinking that what An Ze said was quite right.

Pretending to be calm has always been Anze's protective color, but on the day of the trial, he still couldn't control his tears.

One of them was going to the defendant's seat, the other was going to the hearing seat, and they entered through two doors.When parting, Anze lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking. The court was magnificently decorated, and there were many people coming and going around. After thinking about it, Xi Wenbo still took Anze into his arms, patted his back, and said don’t worry.

An Ze didn't want to let him go just like that, he hugged Xi Wenbai tightly, and wiped off the tears before they fell on his clothes, "Which time did you not let me worry?"

"It won't happen in the future." Xi Wenbo pinched the back of his head.

Anze was silent for a while, and said yes in a muffled voice.

The judge and jury were seated one after another, and lawyer Zhang pressed down, expressing his reassurance to Xi Wenbai.

It was not the first time Xi Wenbai had experienced the feeling of being judged. The torrential rain that year was echoing in his ears. He broke into the midnight, full of hope, looking for Liao Liming, and finally held his mobile phone, waiting for a cold call.

what exactly is it?Let them have to go through such a life and death?Is it the selfishness and capriciousness of youth, or the various prejudices of the world against them?Or was it irrational and unconscious at a certain moment, and ran away in anger?

No matter what the reason is, fate cannot treat them like this, Xi Wenbo thought.

And Anze——

At the beginning of the trial, lawyer Zhang flipped through the documents and launched a counterattack one by one.

The theoretical murder weapon was missing; the time of death was in and out of Xi Wenbai’s surveillance belt in the company; after ballistic testing, the height of the shooter did not match that of Xi Wenbai; several sets of footprints found at the scene were messy and seemed to have been deliberately erased and could not be extracted Provide clear evidence.

Xi Wenbai stayed in the dock, and the attention of everyone did not make him feel anxious.

Well, Liao Liming has something he insists on, which is the most valuable thing about him.Xi Wenbai also has it. He used his persistence to prove his love for Liao Liming, without any falsehood.

And Anze who has been by his side silently all these years, he has always been very timid and has no vision, but at certain moments he will become extremely strong, and Xi Wenbo will also turn back to a stubborn 15 in front of Anze who pampers him. age.

Everyone will become not like themselves for the one they love.

Maybe this is what it's like to be in the world, the shards of glass are swallowed down the throat together with the sugar residue, and those indelible experiences are connected by time, shining brightly in the long river of years.Xi Wenbo stood at the same place and looked back. There were flowers and applause on the way when he came, there was the difficulty of studying alone, there was the persistence of staying up late to make reports, and there was Liao Liming sitting in the corner, wearing black-rimmed glasses.

There is a passage in the middle that he doesn't want to think about, but unexpectedly, they are also shining brightly dutifully.

There is darkness ahead, and the possibilities are endless.

Xi Wenbo remembered Anze asked him "Have you put it down?"

Past experiences have made him who he is now, and Xi Wenbai has made his own choice about "letting go".

As the trial entered the verdict stage, Xi Wenbai nodded inconspicuously to meet Anze's gaze,

Although the balance of the whole defense was leaning towards Xi Wenbai, Anze was still too nervous.The jury calmed down after the turmoil, and then they voted one by one, gradually more than half of the hands raised in the air, the judge made a final decision, and Xi Wenbai was not guilty.

The lawyer sealed the paper bag.

Anze's stiff back immediately vented, and he hid his face in his palm, sobbing silently.

Please, let those unpleasant pasts stay in dust.

His past years have also been difficult.

The sunshine outside the courthouse was just right. Anze took Xi Wenbai who was still in a daze to pick up the car. Today's weather is very similar to an afternoon when he was in junior high school. The temperature is suitable and the breeze is blowing.An Ze remembered that he skipped his physical education class and secretly watched Xi Wenbo on the glass of the back door of the next class.

"Did the past few months feel like a dream?" Anze asked him.

"Hmm..." Xi Wenbo raised his head, closed his eyes to feel the long-lost sunshine, "Anze, when the dust settles, let's go to South France."

There was a piece of grass on his shoulder, Anze reached out and rubbed it off, "Okay, I'll accompany you to relax."

Xi Wenbo looked over, "If you want, you can call our parents."

Anze: "Ah..."

"It seems that I haven't seen Uncle Shen and Aunt Liu for a long time."

"But before that, I want to go back to City G." Xi Wenbo said.

"Okay..." Anze nodded, and then said, "Xi Wenbo, remember, this is the last time I promise you unconditionally."

It doesn't matter if he is a little arrogant.

Xi Wenbai smiled, and the tail ring on his little finger was warmly attached to his skin, as if the sunshine had been stored for a lifetime.
