"T-there you are," Ling Yiran said dryly while leaning sideways to let Yi Jinli into the room.
"Sis, you must've waited a long time." Yi Jinli laughed and walked over to the desk. He saw copies of the case file which Ling Yiran had left opened on the desk.
His black eyes squinted slightly as he reached out to pick up a few documents and looked through them. "Is Sis looking at that case again?"
Ling Yiran's body stiffened a little. She had mentioned this case to Yi Jinli before, but at the time, she did not know his true identity. Now that she knew, there was a lingering embarrassment and helplessness to talk about this case again.
After all, no matter how much she thought she was innocent, the car accident had really happened. Plus, the person who died in the car accident was his fiancée!
"What's wrong, Sis?" Noticing her delay in answering, he looked up at her.
"I'm just... looking," she replied as she swallowed the sudden flow of saliva in her throat.
"By the way, Sis, you always said that you were wronged. Are you trying to reverse the verdict by looking at these materials?" He was talking as if he was just chatting casually, but a dark look flashed deep in his eyes.
She bit her lip. Of course, she wanted to reverse the verdict! It was just that the witnesses from then were nowhere to be found, and the physical evidence was all a heap of hard evidence.
During her three years in prison, Lianyi had spent so much money, time, and energy to overturn her case but failed. When Ling Yiran got out of jail with no money in hand, she even had to ask her best friend to help cover her medical expenses that cost just short of ten thousand.
Having been a lawyer herself, she knew how much it would cost to get a lawyer to overturn a case and to reopen an investigation.
In the absence of conclusive new evidence, the police could not waste police resources to re-investigate. She could only investigate everything alone, but she did not have the finances to do so.
