BXBX NOVEL Chapter 479 - A Rather Big Case
It was not that he did not dare to. He was just kind.
Yu Mufeng took his gift for the visit too and ruffled his own hair. Then, he said cynically, “Who knows?”
Butler Lu walked out of the Lu Manor to pick up the two of them. “Master Jiang, Master Yu, please come in.”
The two nodded, handed the things in their hands to Butler Lu, and followed him inside.
Yu Mufeng turned to Butler Lu. “Who else is coming today?”
Butler Lu replied respectfully, “Master Qin and Master He have arrived already. We are still waiting for Master Qin Rui, Master Ji Heng…”
The names mentioned were those of good friends.
Yu Mufeng raised his eyebrow. “Qin Rui and Ji Heng came from Ming City?”
Butler Lu nodded. “Yes, they should be arriving soon.”
As soon as they entered the villa lobby, they saw Lu Chengzhou sitting in a wheelchair by the panoramic French windows. Gu Mang sat on the sofa next to him, her legs crossed casually, making her look rebellious and bad.
A picture album was under one of her hands and there was a flamingo logo in the lower right corner of the picture album. She tapped on the pictures once in a while. In her other hand, she spun a pen.
Qin Fang and He Yidu sat across from them, chatting away. Hearing the movement at the door, they looked over. They greeted one another.
Jiang Shenyuan sat down on one of the sofas and looked at Lu Chengzhou’s wounds. He lifted his chin. “How did it happen?”
Lu Chengzhou looked calm and did not answer. Jiang Shenyuan was the only one there who did not know anything. Those who knew did not dare to answer. The atmosphere was a little awkward.
Qin Fang tried to change the topic. “Great lawyer, aren’t you on a big case? How do you still have time to come here?”
The servant brought some tea over and placed them on the coffee table.
Jiang Shenyuan frowned and there was a trace of resentment in his eyes.
He Yidu noticed it and was stunned. He laughed. “What is it? You are just dealing with a case. As a professional lawyer, why would you let personal emotions be involved?”
Recently, there had been a case of a minor killing another minor in the eastern suburbs, which caused quite a big commotion. All the lawyers of Jiang Shenyuan’s firm had come together to work on the case. It had been going for around a month.
Jiang Shenyuan took a sip from his teacup to suppress his anger. Then, he spoke as calmly as he could. “Believe it or not, a fourteen-year-old girl dissected her female classmate because she looked prettier than her.”
Gu Mang and Lu Chengzhou looked at Jiang Shenyuan. The smile on He Yidu’s face disappeared. Qin Fang and Yu Mufeng were both shocked.
They hadn’t known any of the details of the case, only knowing that there was some commotion around the case. After they suddenly heard that it was such a tragedy, they couldn’t speak.
Jiang Shenyuan continued, “I’m really quite curious. How could a child be so cruel?”
Yu Mufeng asked, “What did the child say when you interacted with her?”
Jiang Shenyuan’s lips twitched. The fourteen-year-old girl’s words appeared in his mind.
“The girl said, ‘She’s prettier than me and she has more friends than I do in class. I find her an eyesore so I really wanted her dead. Anyway, if I kill her, I don’t have to go to jail.\'” Jiang Shenyuan repeated slowly.
The others frowned when they heard. Knowledge of the law was taught in middle school. How could anyone be so ignorant of it?
She acted so viciously just because she couldn’t stand the other person’s beauty? Is she mentally sick?
