Chapter 95 Please cheer up. How to cheer up?
The second time they sat in the lawyer's meeting room, Lin Xi tilted her head back and asked, "Why did it take so long to come?"
Lu Weicai pulled out a chair and sat down: "Very busy."
Last time he said he would contact virologists and public health experts for help, hoping they could come and test the virus to prove that Lin Xi did not "intentionally kill".
Lu Wei said, "I also came into contact with another case."
Then he asked, "You know Xiang Xin, right?"
Lin Xi suddenly remembered that when she was handcuffed at Nanhua Hospital, Yang Yicheng said that the police had gone to arrest the accomplices of the dangerous person. At that time, Lin Xi did not realize it. It was only when she belatedly realized that she was the "dangerous person" that she remembered that the accomplice they mentioned was likely "Xiang Xin".
"But Xiang Xin had already left Hongwen Hospital when the incident occurred."
Lu Wei: "Well, it was the first time... so after the investigation was completed and there were no problems, we took her statement and released her."
Lin Xi: "Is your case related to her?"
Lu Wei nodded: "The statement says that she saw the people you killed acting violently and behaving strangely. She said it was a biohazard crisis, and you were the one who saved the world."
Lin Xi felt a warmth in her heart, but also felt helpless about this action.
Sure enough, Lu Wei continued, "This news has spread online."
This topic is related to the recent trending topic "#Hongwen Hospital Violent Assault", and it also includes the fantastical word "zombie", attracting a considerable number of people to discuss it.
Netizens who joined the discussion started a new round of mockery:
"This is the first time I've seen someone who wants to take revenge on society make such an excuse."
"I suspect the murderer has a mental illness."
"Please, please don't let her have a mental illness. What if she isn't sentenced to death?"
However, not long after, some videos of Hongwen Hospital circulated online; those videos were surveillance footage.
In the scene, a person with green eyes is waving his claws and grabbing someone, and then Lin Xi, wearing a windbreaker, knocks him down with a knife.
Another image shows a person with a ferocious expression, clutching her neck and gritting her teeth.
The account that posted the video was an anonymous, low-profile account, and the post claimed that the two were zombies.
However, netizens still didn't buy it.
"That person's green eyes must be glaucoma."
"Ah... well, actually, glaucoma doesn't mean the eyes are green. But that doesn't mean they're zombies."
"That's right, that's right, there are a lot of patients in the hospital, that's why they don't look well."
"The girl behind him must have seen Lin Xi kill someone with a knife to be so scared."
"..."
Lu Wei briefly described what happened, and did not comment on the netizens' comments.
Lin Xi: "So that alternate account that spread the video belongs to Xiang Xin?"
She must have recorded Lin Xi's screen with her tablet, discovered these people's strange behavior, and tried to help Lin Xi.
Moved, Lin Xi silently vowed never to say that Xiang Xin was someone who was eager to become cannon fodder again.
If it weren't for her help, Lin Xi might not have been able to deal with the zombies at Hongwen Hospital so smoothly.
That's great, there are still people speaking up for her even when things are at their most sensitive.
But... it's inevitable to get caught up in the vortex.
Lin Xi felt a little sad. She was able to be reborn, but she hoped that Xiang Xin in this world wouldn't be affected in any way.
"The case you mentioned, she's been prosecuted?"
Lu Wei: "Hmm. The image of the person you killed has been released again, and their family is suing her for violating their portrait rights. She is also suspected of disseminating violent videos and other illegal activities."
Will there be any trouble?
"A little. I'm trying my best to lighten her load."
Lin Xi felt powerless once again.
Seeing her silence, Lu Wei said, "I didn't know her, but after I sent the pictures she spread to some experts, someone was willing to come out and test the virus."
He added, "There are still people working hard for you, so please cheer up."
Don't keep thinking things like "forget it" or "start over".
Lin Xi understood what he meant.
But she couldn't help asking, "So did you bring what I asked for?"
"Lawyers cannot pass items to suspects without authorization."
Moreover, Lin Xi felt it was somewhat inappropriate that there were two police officers in the meeting room the entire time.
Lin Xi's gaze shifted slightly from the police officer standing behind Lu Wei, giving Lu Wei a questioning look: "?"
“The case involving Hongwen Hospital has had a very negative impact, and it has now become a ‘public prosecution.’ Meetings with lawyers require approval, and the meetings must be supervised.”
Under surveillance, Lin Xi had even less chance of getting what she wanted.
"Then I can only cheer up, otherwise I'll probably just be a runner-up again if I restart." She subconsciously revealed the thought of giving up, except that what she was giving up was "rebirth".
Lu Wei looked at her with a hint of helplessness, but that helplessness seemed to be mixed with a touch of sarcasm.
He shook his head slightly: "Although I didn't bring it, it's not like there's no other way."
A minute later, a live tape recorder appeared in the meeting room.
Lu Wei: "ABBCA, DCACB, BCDAB, CBDAA."
Lin Xi: "ABBCA, DCBCB..."
Lu Wei: "It's DCACB."
Lin Xi: "Take it slow, tell me one step at a time."
Lu Wei: "BCDAB."
Lin Xi: "BCDAB."
The two officers looked at each other in bewilderment.
However, the "psychopathic killer" repeated the letters her lawyer spoke over and over again, and gave a knowing smile.
The police officer seemed to sense something was amiss and finally spoke up to stop them: "When meeting, please discuss case-related matters in accordance with regulations. Collusion is prohibited."
Lin Xi: "We didn't collude to give a false testimony."
Lu Wei then said a string of letters.
Lin Xi repeated it.
The police officer believed this was a new form of collusion similar to Morse code and interrupted, saying, "Even using coded messages won't work."
Two hours later, Lu Wei left.
Recalling his words and thinking of Xiang Xin and Lu Wei who were still running around outside, she decided to "cheer up".
In fact, she did not passively wait for death this time after her rebirth. It's just that she is now in a situation where she is powerless and can only maintain a good attitude and hope that the zombie virus will be detected and clear her name.
From the moment she decided to leave her home, Lin Xi was prepared to die in her quest to find a solution; she had no other choice but to deal with the zombies.
If she succeeds on her first attempt, that would be incredibly fortunate, allowing her to remain in this world where, despite being scorned by thousands, there are still people who extend kindness to her.
If it fails, that's to be expected.
