"Please, please don't expose me. If the villagers know that I have an affair with the village chief, I will definitely not end well. My son still needs me. I really have to. Please, please. It's gone!" Seeing that the two were silent, Bai Yulan became frightened again and hurriedly kowtowed and begged for mercy.

Chang Qin hurriedly pulled her up again, and comforted her: "Don't worry about this, we will keep our mouths shut. By the way, my friend is a lawyer. If you want to help, just ask, we will help if we can." After finishing speaking Glancing at Xi Ling, seeing that the other party didn't show any displeasure, he sat back in his seat with confidence.

"Miss Bai." Xi Ling said, "Can I call you Bai Yulan?" Seeing the other party nodding, he continued, "How do you want us to help you?"

Bai Yulan was stunned, she hadn't recovered from the panic of being caught, she really didn't expect these two people to help her.

"Let's do this." Seeing that she was undecided, Xi Ling took the initiative to say, "Let's investigate the specific cause of your husband Liu Youneng's death first. If it was an accidental injury, according to the labor law, the employer must compensate you for the loss, and your husband The crime of rape|rape committed by conspiring with your father-in-law, I believe that with these two compensations, you can temporarily get rid of the current difficulties."

Bai Yulan was silent for a while, and finally buried her head deeply, and tremblingly said: "Thank you."

After discussing with each other, they first sent Magnolia back to the village in the dark, and then went back to the old house to retrieve the tent.

"What are you going to do?" Chang Qin asked Xi Ling who was busy on the side.

"I have an undergraduate classmate who is now working as a lawyer in Taiyuan. I didn't intend to find him in such a hurry. Now it seems that I have to contact him. I hope he can find out the real cause of Liu Youneng's death, and his The reason why the father was imprisoned."

Chang Qin nodded, noncommittal.

"But if this is the case, our schedule will be delayed for a few more days. I'm fine. The new case arranged by the firm will not start until next month. It's you, the cultural village project, which will start soon. If you are in a hurry to go back, you can go first, and I will stay alone." Xi Ling said.

Chang Qin pondered for a moment, then replied, "I'll be with you. As for the company, I can only find some more excuses to stay with Mr. Jiang for a few more days off."

The long dark night passed without knowing it, and the east was pale.

They rushed to the station and took the first bus back to Taiyuan. The journey back to the city was long and bumpy. After a whole night of busy work, Chang Qin couldn't bear it any longer and fell asleep shortly after getting on the bus. While dreaming sweet dreams, he rolled over comfortably on the soft bed.

Wait!Where is this bed from?

Chang Qin woke up from the dream in a second, facing Xi Ling's slender phoenix eyes, he couldn't help being startled, and immediately straightened his body.

"It's the stop." Xi Ling pushed him indifferently, put on his backpack and walked towards the car door.

Chang Qin wiped his face and hurriedly picked up his luggage to follow.

After getting out of the car, he found that Xi Ling had been rubbing his right shoulder, so he stepped forward and asked concerned: "Lawyer Xi, what's wrong with you? Are you in a stiff neck?"

Xi Ling glared at him, and squeezed out a few words between his teeth: "I was crushed by a pig."

Walking out of the station, Xi Ling stopped a taxi and went straight to the home of a lawyer classmate. His classmate was Shen Qingmo, who was also studying in the UK. After returning to China, he stayed in Taiyuan as a lawyer. At that time, all his classmates were desperate Squeezing into big cities, only this Shen Qingmo did the opposite and returned to his hometown Taiyuan without hesitation. In just a few years, his career has flourished and he is now a well-known barrister in the local area.

When he was studying, Xi Ling had a good relationship with him. At that time, Xi Ling would always ask him in puzzlement why he didn't go to the big city and why he insisted on returning to the original place. "Because someone at home is waiting for me." Every time, Shen Qingmo would answer with a smile.

This time, Xi Ling finally met the person Shen Qingmo said was waiting for him, who was gentle, beautiful, graceful and generous. "It's not in vain that you worked so hard to come back." Xi Ling glanced at Shen's wife and couldn't help admiring.

Shen's wife smiled shyly and poured a glass of boiling water for them. "I haven't seen you for so many years, I never expected you to come to Taiyuan suddenly, the family is not well prepared, and the hospitality is not good." Shen Qingmo said guiltily.

"Qingmo, don't be too polite, you say that, it seems that we have a lot of life." Xi Ling hurriedly stood up, took the teacup, "To tell you the truth, I came to see you this time because I really have something to do."

"What's the matter? As long as I can help, I will help." Lawyer Shen replied straightforwardly.

In the next few hours, Xi Ling told him the story of Bai Yulan in detail, and added some analysis of his own while he was talking. At the end, Shen Qingmo jumped up and said angrily: "I didn't expect that. In this world, there are such beasts."

"I came to you this time to ask you if there is any way to find out why Liu Youneng died and where his father was locked up." Xi Ling looked at him and said.

"It's easy to handle. I have a friend at the Public Security Bureau, so I'll call him right away." Shen Qingmo was extremely efficient, took out his phone and called that friend, chatting for more than half an hour before hanging up.

"I got it." Shen Qingmo returned to the living room and told the two of them the content of the phone call, "Three months ago, Liu Youneng and a few fellow villagers went to the city to work, and were responsible for transporting building materials at a construction site in Taiyuan. The team leader asked him to mix the cement. Liu Youneng was sloppy with his hands and feet, and he was stupid. Soon the vibrating screen used to sift sand and gravel was blocked by pebbles and could not continue to sieve. Liu Youneng had to hit the vibrating screen with a hammer. The sharp stone flew out and pierced the heart, and he died of heart failure not long after."

"No wonder they are in a hurry to cremate Liu Youneng's body. It turns out that the purpose is to destroy the body." Xi Ling touched his chin and said.

"Then why was Father Liu arrested? What does this have to do with him?" Chang Qin asked.

"Father Liu went to the city to look for his son. He heard that the county's public security bureau was in charge of the case, so he ran to Yuci County again, but he never came out again."

"What's going on?" Xi Ling frowned.

"My friend also asked people quietly. I heard that Father Liu was tortured and tortured for three days, his eyes were so swollen that he couldn't open it. Finally, he made a note, admitting that he was with his son at the time. He was in charge of stirring the cement. Unexpectedly, Liu Youneng died unexpectedly due to his misoperation. The construction party claimed 100 million from him, saying that it was the compensation for the machine and the delay of the construction period. How could Mr. Liu get so much money, so he had to be temporarily detained Wake up, you will have to be sent to court for trial in two days."

Xi Ling sighed, looked at Shen Qingmo and said, "Do you think Father Liu has a good chance of winning?"

Shen Qingmo shook his head, and said: "The plaintiff has a note written by Father Liu himself, and his fingerprints are also on the vibrating screen. If there is a lawsuit, it is impossible for him to win."

"It's so unreasonable." Chang Qin knocked on the coffee table vigorously, shaking out a few drops of water from the teacup on the table.

Xi Ling looked at him, then turned to look at Shen Qingmo: "I decided to take this case."

Shen Qingmo thought for a moment, nodded and said: "Okay, I will help you."

In the afternoon of that day, Xi Ling submitted an application to the court as a lawyer representing Father Liu (real name Liu Guicheng). He met Liu Guicheng in prison. With a bruised nose and swollen face, he walked with a limp, and looked so horrible that Xi Ling couldn't help feeling a burst of sadness in his heart.He originally wanted to get some evidence through Father Liu, but the old man hesitated and couldn't utter a complete sentence. Xi Ling had no choice but to ask the police in charge of him to send him back to the prison.

Walking out of the detention center, Chang Qin and Shen Qingmo ran towards him anxiously, Xi Ling shook his head and pressed his lips tightly.

"What should we do now?" Chang Qin was also troubled.

"Liu Youneng's body was cremated a long time ago, so there is no way to provide us with any clues. There were no witnesses present at the time of the incident, and Liu Guicheng was beaten so hard that he couldn't speak. This matter is really difficult." Shen Qing Mo squeezed his eyebrows and said.

Xi Ling looked at Shen Qingmo: "Where is the vibrating screen used by Liu Youneng when the incident happened?"

"I heard that it was transported away by people from the construction company."

"Such important evidence can be transported away." Xi Ling said angrily.

Shen Qingmo shrugged: "It is said that I am afraid of delaying the construction period, so I need to transport it back in time."

Xi Ling frowned and thought for a moment: "If Liu Youneng died of being pierced through the heart by a hard object, his blood will definitely be left on the scene. Since they insisted that Liu Guicheng was at the scene, then Liu Guicheng, as Liu Youneng's biological father, It is impossible to be indifferent to the death of his son, as long as he gets close to Liu Youneng, he will definitely leave Liu Youneng's blood on his clothes. Qing Mo, the clothes Liu Guicheng wore when he went to the county police station to report the crime, you may get Got it?"

Shen Qingmo thought for a while, nodded and said, "This shouldn't be difficult."

Xi Ling nodded and looked at Chang Qin: "It seems that we have to go to the scene of the accident."

The construction site where Liu Youneng works is less than four or five kilometers away from the center of Taiyuan. It is a local commercial housing construction project. In order to deliver on time, the developer hired a group of unregistered temporary workers to work overtime.

"Chang Qin." Xi Ling touched the people around him with his elbow, "Do you know the construction site and what a vibrating screen is?"

"The vibrating screen is to use the reciprocating vibration generated by the vibration of the vibrator to divide the particles and powder into particles of different sizes. A single vibrating screening machine can be equipped with 4 layers of screens, which can continuously separate 2-5 particle sizes , the high-performance screening machine can quickly remove large and small particles of slurry and slag during high-flow processing. The vibrating screening machine can quickly remove insoluble solids in various slurries and continuously discharge slag.”

"Is this thing easy to operate?" Xi Ling obviously didn't understand, and asked at a loss.

"It's very simple. A vibrating screen is generally composed of a vibrator, a screen box, a support or suspension device, a transmission device, etc., and can often be operated by one person." Having said this, Chang Qin couldn't help but pause, and he looked at Xi Ling , eyes shining brightly.

Xi Ling smiled, then withdrew the smile randomly: "Tell me, where would they hide such a big machine?"

"Why do you think they will definitely hide the vibrating screen used by Liu Youneng instead of continuing to use it?" Chang Qin was puzzled.

Xi Ling glanced at him, and replied calmly: "First, they claimed 100 million from Liu Guicheng, so they would definitely not dare to use that machine to start work again. Second, they insisted that it had Liu Guicheng's fingerprints on it, but Liu Guicheng didn't They didn't even set foot on the construction site, so how could there be fingerprints on it? They must have taken Liu Guicheng to the vibrating screen to print them forcibly. In broad daylight, it needs to be hidden."

Chang Qin nodded approvingly, and said with a bitter face, "However, there is not a single large warehouse in this area for hundreds of miles. Where can they hide the machine?"

"It's definitely not on the construction site." Xi Ling rested his hand on his chin and thought for a while.

"It's definitely not on the construction site, and it's not realistic to hide in the company, unless they have another construction site, or..." Chang Qin seemed to be talking to himself, and seemed to be communicating with Xi Ling.

"Or there just happened to be an empty room where the big machine could be hidden." Xi Ling interjected, pushing Chang Qin at the same time, "Do you still remember that day when we wanted to go to the Northern Qi Grottoes, but found the road was blocked? "

Chang Qin's eyes lit up: "You mean, they hid that thing in the grotto?"

Xi Ling nodded, noncommittal.

Chang Qin frowned and thought for a while: "According to historical records, there are two main floors above and below the Northern Qi Grottoes, and they sit on the same floor, three rooms wide and two rooms deep. It is suitable for such a huge object."

Xi Ling smiled slightly, greeted Chang Qin and said, "Let's go, let's go to the dormitory where Liu Youneng lived first."

After walking around the construction site, they found the staff dormitory where Liu Youneng once lived. It was a two-story small building temporarily built by construction workers near the construction site. There were [-] rooms on each floor, and each room accommodated eight people. , the environment is extremely harsh, standing in the narrow dormitory, there is no place to put your feet.

There happened to be a worker resting in the house, and when he learned the reason for their visit, he briefly recalled that Liu Youneng had not been on the construction site for a long time, he was not talkative, and he was stupid, so no one would talk to him. The order was placed, so the team leader assigned him some light work that only needed to be done by himself. He couldn't speak, and he didn't know how to ask for advice. He took his own life.

"It's no wonder these people want to put the blame on Liu Guicheng. It turns out that it's their own fault from the beginning to the end." Xi Ling whispered into Chang Qin's ear.

After leaving the construction site, the two of them rushed to the Beiqi Grottoes without stopping. The road was blocked by a pile of towering stone piles. If you want to find the Beiqi Grottoes, you must climb over these piles of rocks. The trouser legs climbed up, and Chang Qin hurriedly followed behind.

Compared with Chang Qin's broad shoulders, Xi Ling's figure looks much thinner, but he has many years of exploration experience, his hands and feet are nimble, and he quickly throws Chang Qin far away. He stands halfway up the mountain, panting and watching. Looking at the other party: "The road above is even more trembling, or you climb in front of me, and I will protect you from behind."

Chang Qin originally wanted to say that there was no need for me to fall to my death, but when he looked up and saw the steep slope approaching a right angle, he was so frightened that he was speechless, not caring about the man's face, he walked up to Xi Ling in two or three steps.

Unexpectedly, Lawyer Xi, who has more actual combat experience than Chang Qin, was injured first—they had just climbed over the steep slope, and Xi Ling accidentally knocked hard on the top of the slope. His complexion was pale, he bent down, his brows were furrowed, and he was sweating profusely. He was so painful that he couldn't speak a word for a long time.

Seeing it, Chang Qin felt inexplicably distressed: "You can rest here, I can go up alone."

Xi Ling waved his hand, and when he was finally able to speak, he slowly replied: "I must see it with my own eyes, so I can rest assured." He looked up and saw that there was less than a third of the distance left, "The road above is not It’s easy to go, you are alone, it’s too dangerous.”

Chang Qin understood his temper, so he was no longer attached to it, but he couldn't help but take the other's hand and said, "I'll help you."

Xi Ling glanced at him unexpectedly, but didn't move his hand, just let him grab it and drag it all the way to the top of the mountain.

Standing at the highest end, you can have a panoramic view of the grottoes not far away. In the main hall without a gate, a large section of blue machinery is exposed. It is the vibrating screen they are looking for.

Xi Ling finally smiled in relief, took out his phone and took a few photos.

On the way back to Lawyer Shen's house, Chang Qin glanced at Xi Ling worriedly, and asked, "Are you really sure you can win this lawsuit?"

"I didn't have it at first, but now I have it, and I'm sure." After speaking, he took a deep look at Chang Qin and smiled, "Chang Qin, thank you."

"Thank me for what." Chang Qin touched his nose and asked in confusion.

When Lawyer Shen saw Xi Ling, he took out a transparent bag and handed it to him: "Here are the clothes you want."

"Thank you." Xi Ling gratefully accepted it.

"You've been busy all day, and you're probably exhausted. I'll give you a double room in a nearby hotel. Why don't you go take a shower and have a good rest. Anyway, the case won't start in court for a few days, so it's imperative now. It’s about keeping your energy up.”

Xi Ling nodded when he heard that, and took Chang Qin to the hotel that Lawyer Shen mentioned. After ordering some takeaways to satisfy his hunger, they both took a bath and were about to go to bed when Chang Qin, who was sitting on the other bed, suddenly waved to him: " come here."

Xi Ling just came out of the bathroom, her slender phoenix eyes were full of confusion, the upturned eye tails stretched to the temples, and finally were hidden in the thin bangs, half-dry hair hung down on her forehead, like a docile little The animal was completely different from the stubborn one who insisted on climbing to the top of the mountain in the afternoon. Chang Qin looked up at him, feeling a little dazed for a moment. He frowned vigilantly and said, "What are you doing?".

"Hey, sit down." Chang Qin pulled him to his side, following the inertia, Xi Ling sat down on the bed, Chang Qin smiled, and took out a bottle of safflower oil from his bag: "Look Your knee is not lightly knocked, and it will heal quickly with a little rubbing."

Xi Ling wore a pair of underpants, most of his legs were exposed, his legs were long and white, the bruises on his knees were very shocking against his fair skin, it hurt to look at it, but Xi Ling just looked down , immediately got up and shook his head and refused: "No need."

Chang Qin pulled him back again, pretending to be angry, and said, "If you were at home, I wouldn't care about it, but we are out of town now, and we may not know where we will go later. How are you going with a big bruise on your head?" Wan Wan blinked, looked at Xi Ling, and said maliciously, "You must be afraid of pain."

Xi Ling's pale face turned pink in a second, he turned his head away and argued awkwardly: "Who, who is afraid of pain."

Chang Qin smiled, poured some potion into his palm involuntarily, knelt down in front of him, gently covered his knees, and said, "Don't worry, my skills are very good."

"What technique?" Xi Ling snorted angrily.

"Of course..." Chang Qin raised his head and met his pair of phoenix eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and said helplessly, "I really want to knock open your head to see what's inside."

The Northern Qi Grottoes here are fabricated by me, not the real Northern Qi Grottoes.
