Live with the forensic chief

Monday morning, a week after Schumeng left.

Lin Pu resumed the days when no one was picking him up and commuting by subway.

Cases were frequent at the end of the year, and basically did not stop in the second half of the year.The murderer of the Baijin corpse murder case is still on the run. Under intense pressure, Yu Fei and Wei Qiusui both entered the hospital.

Lin Pu came back to his senses and felt that his pressure and work intensity were also overloaded. In any case, it would be unwise to let his body collapse at this moment.

After the year-end bonus was paid out, Lin Pu paid the expenses for Yang Lili's nursing home next year, and still had some daily expenses left.

I went to the law firm every day to carry out daily work. At the end of the year, some new trainee lawyers came. Lin Pu also brought two of them to be their tutors, and stayed by his side for them to learn something.But other law firms are filled with the atmosphere of "let's talk after the year".

Lin Pu tidied up the desktop, flipped through and saw the document.Lin Pu held the document in his hand and looked at it for a while, and suddenly his brows became deeper as he read it. He moved his chair and sat down, resting his fingers on his chin.

When he was halfway through reading, he dialed the internal line, and Wang Ru arrived at the office after a while.

"Lin Lu." Wang Ru knocked on the door.

"Sit down." Lin Pu was still looking down at the document in his hand.

Wang Ru sat down, glanced at the things in his hands and understood: "Does Lin Lu want to ask about my previous hot spring case?"

"Yes, tell me about it." Lin Pu said.

"I followed this case before. The client's enthusiasm was not high, and he kept procrastinating. Seeing that the time for criminal detention was coming, he didn't fully confess the case. He just came to consult once." Wang Ru took her own The information reads, "The current investigation result of the police is that Yang Fuhua, a 43-year-old male, died in a man-made hot spring in a hot spring hotel. He is an executive of a foreign-funded enterprise. He is suspected of committing a major crime, but he insists on pleading not guilty. That is the object we have been entrusted to defend this time."

"Not active?" Lin Pu tapped his fingers on the table, "What does not active mean?"

He looked through the existing evidence. Yang Fuhua was electrocuted to death in the water. It took half an hour from the time he entered the hot spring hotel to his death. During this period, all his actions were with Shen Tai. They were in a hot spring pool There was also a dispute.

The wire facilities are not maintained by the hot spring hotel, so it is still unknown who is responsible for this part.But the most critical evidence is that an insulating glove with Shen Tai's fingerprints was found at the scene.

Shen Tai insisted that he only put on gloves to strip the wires after he realized that the other party might have died from the electric shock, but he did not put the wires in.

Wang Ru continued the conversation just now: "After all, it was entrusted by his wife before. His wife is his assistant in daily work and also has shares in the company. We tried to contact later, but we all avoided it because of work."

"She doesn't want to save?" Lin Pu raised his eyelids to look at Wang Ru.

Wang Ru curled her lips: "If you don't want to be rescued, you can tell us as soon as possible, but every time the police ask us to inquire, she will still actively help him fight, showing a very affectionate look."

Lin Pu nodded, then flipped through the pages and said, "Isn't this a case from Baijin's side?"

"It belongs to Heishui County, and now it belongs to the prefecture-level county under the management of Heixi." Wang Ru said.

Lin Pu said: "No wonder, there are a lot of hot springs over there, indeed there are many hot spring hotels."

Wang Ru said: "You can go and see this hotel. The hot spring area inside has been transformed into a park, with singing birds and fragrant flowers, and various rockery forests. The terrain is complicated, and only the entrance and exit have cameras."

"Are there many people that day?" Lin Pu asked.

"It is said that there are not many, and the hot spring hotel is very large. Everyone basically disperses to take a bath in each hot spring pool without interfering with each other." Wang Ru said, "This is the only specific information."

Lin Pu nodded: "I'll go get in touch. Don't think about delaying things that can be done a year ago."

"Yes." Wang Ru replied, "It's troublesome."

Lin Pu swiped his mobile phone and started to contact the client, and Wang Ru went back to his work station to work.

However, after this phone call with the other party, Lin Pu finally understood what Wang Ru meant by "not being active".

The client is Shen Tai's wife named Pan Ying. She sounds like a young girl. She speaks in a very low voice, and she will listen to "um" when she says anything. She doesn't refute or justify, let alone explain in detail. This is perfunctory in a sense.

Feeling that he was being perfunctory for nearly 10 minutes, Lin Pu finally became impatient: "Miss Pan, if you are free in the near future, can you come to our law firm for an interview."

"I don't have time..." Pan Ying said.

"It's okay for me to visit. Your husband's detention has a time limit. The law has its own timeliness. It is impossible to wait indefinitely. The longer the time, the more unpredictable things will happen."

"Okay..." Pan Ying said.

"Let's make an appointment." Lin Pu said, "Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, I'll visit the company. Since you're looking for me to defend him, I believe you know what I'm good at, and I'll definitely do my best."

"Hmm..." Pan Ying responded.

"..." Lin Pu said, "Don't you have anything else to ask?"

"No..." Pan Ying said.

"Then see you tomorrow?"

"it is good……"

Lin Pu hung up the phone with her, feeling only one thing - that his feet were stuck in a muddy swamp, and when he lifted his feet out, he still felt sticky for a long time.

He sighed and drank some water to calm down.

Wang Ru came to deliver things again. Seeing his expression, he knew that he had just finished the phone call, and said with a smile, "Lin Lu, do you feel very irritable now?"

"..." Lin Pu stroked his hair, and said helplessly, "You said it would be like this, so I won't hit you..."

He checked the company: "Their company is in the urban area of ​​Heixi. I will visit tomorrow and help me book a round-trip train ticket."

"A day trip?" Wang Ru asked.

"Yes." Lin Pu nodded.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Lin Pu said, "Let's get off work after booking."

"Okay." Wang Ru asked casually, "Will Mr. Shu come to pick you up from get off work?"

"..." Lin Pu said, "He..."

"Ah, oh, I'm sorry." Wang Ru said, "I'm talking too much, I'll go book tickets first."

Lin Pu watched her run away and shook his head helplessly.

……

On a business trip to the next city, back and forth within a day, when Lin Pu arrived at this company in Heixi City the next day, he called Pan Ying.

Pan Ying did not let him enter the company, but let him wait for her outside the company.

Lin Pu put his hands in his trouser pockets, and waited for Pan Ying in the crowded office building. After a while, there was a rush of high-heeled shoes. Lin Pu looked back and saw a little girl wrapped in a down jacket and wearing a ball head. Stumbled out of the office building.

Lin Pu didn't know why, but subconsciously thought it was her.

He looked back at the little girl, who stood at the door and looked around, then nodded slightly to him: "Are you Lawyer Lin?"

"Ms. Pan Ying?" Lin Pu asked.

"Yeah." Pan Ying nodded, "It's me..."

Then she said: "Let's go a little further and talk."

Lin Pu followed her, and the two found a nearby McDonald's.Pan Ying went in and asked Lin Pu what she wanted to eat, and Lin Pu asked her to buy a drink.

"Then go find a seat and sit down first." Pan Ying said.

Lin Pu got to his seat, put down his bag and sat down.Just looking at the phone for a while and looking up, I saw Pan Ying coming with a bunch of things.

Lin Pu was startled, and hurriedly stood up to help her carry a handful. Seeing two hamburgers, two glasses of Coke and a pile of snacks on the tray, he thought to himself that the client was really kind.

When she sat down, the Coke was placed in front of her.The rest of Pan Ying moved them in front of her.

Lin Pu: "..."

He took a sip and asked cautiously, "Didn't you have lunch?"

"Yeah." Pan Ying nodded, she was already eating a hamburger in her hand, and said in a low voice while eating, "I'm also nervous when I'm talking with you, and I can only relax when I'm eating."

"Why are you nervous?" Lin Pu held the straw in his mouth, "Relax a bit, let's chat casually."

Even so, Lin Pu was sure that Pan Ying's nervousness came from the case itself.

Instead of chatting with her about the case directly, he said, "How old are you?"

"25..." Pan Ying spoke inarticulately.

...This is more than one round of age difference from Shen Tai.

"How did you and Mr. Shen meet?" Lin Pu said as he took out a notebook from his bag and began to record.

"We met in the company. I was in Haihua Trading when I was an intern..." Pan Ying said, "I was working at the front desk, and Shen Tai pursued me..."

"He chased you?" Lin Pu said, "How long have you been married since you fell in love?"

"Not long, about half a year." Pan Ying paused her hands, shrunk her shoulders slightly, "He had a marriage before, and it was in the stage of divorce..."

Lin Pu lowered his head and raised an eyebrow: "So your relationship was established while he was still married?"

"Well...but he's already getting ready for divorce, and he doesn't have any relationship with his wife." Pan Ying tore open the second burger, "So I'm not considered a mistress."

Lin Pu didn't intend to argue with her on this unimportant issue, and continued: "What position did he hold during the company?"

"He is the chief financial officer, and the financial problems of all the branches of our group are finally brought to him..." Pan Ying ate, chewing louder. This time, she almost finished a hamburger in three bites. Open other food.

"So he..." Lin Pu looked at her eating like a glutton, and couldn't help reminding, "Eat slowly."

"I want to eat when I'm nervous, sorry." Pan Ying said.

Lin Pu paused his pen, knowing that there was probably a story here, so he drew a horizontal line on the top of this book, so as to divide the difference between the first half and what will be written next.

He also didn't want to ask too much in the first meeting, after all, most people would not trust him too much to tell the truth.

"Well, let's talk about the case." Lin Pu said, "How much do you know?"

"I heard what my husband told me. He told me to hire a lawyer. A friend of mine got help from you before, and she introduced you to me..." Pan Ying said.

"Really?" Lin Pu asked casually politely, "Who is it?"

"Her name is Lu Wen." Pan Ying said.

Lin Pu was stunned for a moment: "It's her."

"We don't know each other very well." Pan Ying said, "But I heard that you helped her solve a very difficult matter..."

Lin Pu nodded and didn't ask any further questions. He continued to return to the original topic: "Then how much do you know about the case? Did the two of them have any other abnormalities before?"

"The two of them went to a hot spring hotel to take a bath that day. I knew about it..." Pan Ying wiped her mouth with a tissue, "There is nothing unusual."

Lin Pu thought that this feeling of squeezing toothpaste came again, but fortunately he was patient enough: "If you have any details to add, you must tell me as soon as possible, it is related to defending him later, and any details are enough to decide Success or failure. At present, it seems..." Lin Pu took out the things in the bag, "All the evidence can only point to his serious suspicion, you know about this, right?"

"...Mmm." Pan Ying nodded, Lin Pu looked over and saw that her hand holding the napkin tightened unconsciously.

"What is the relationship between the deceased Yang Fuhua and Shen Tai?" Lin Pu asked, "Do you know what they were arguing about before?"

Pan Ying didn't answer his question this time, nor did she deny it, she just stared at the table with her head down.

Lin Pu turned his head to look at her: "Ms. Pan?"

"They... are very nice," Pan Ying said, "Yang is always in charge of regional cooperation projects in import and export trade, and usually has a good relationship, otherwise we wouldn't go to the hot springs together."

"Then what are they arguing about?" Lin Pu asked.

"..." Pan Ying fell silent.

"Whether you don't want to say it or it's inconvenient to say it, or you can't say it," Lin Pu said.

Pan Ying dug out the last piece of snack and started to eat. She always looked submissive and weak, but Lin Pu couldn't feel pity at all.He intuited that Pan Ying was just afraid of something, something she couldn't bear or didn't dare to say at all.

"I'm telling you that." Lin Pu suddenly approached her.

Pan Ying was taken aback by the sudden enlargement of her face. She dared not move due to the oppressive feeling so close at hand, and looked at Lin Pu timidly.

"If you tell me right now that your husband Shen Tai has indeed killed someone, then I will try my best to minimize all his punishments. But if you refuse to cooperate and say nothing, even if he didn't kill someone, he may still be killed." face severe punishment."

Lin Pu's gray eyes stared at her calmly and rationally: "Do you love him? You love him very much, right? What would you do if he came out of prison after serving 23 years or even longer, with nothing?"
