daytime firefly

Right now Xu Zhi has a lot of things to do, he didn't take apart Zhang Dingquan's gift, and he didn't start a tug-of-war with Qi Jingyi on whether Zhou Jianming was a good person. Packed up and went out, and when I passed by Qi Jingyi, I just told him, "The police probably haven't got conclusive evidence of Li Hua's case, and the summons will take up to 24 hours. I'm going to the Public Security Bureau now. Do you want to go back to the police station or not?" Anything else?"

Qi Jingyi listened, rubbed his forehead, then walked towards the elevator, "I'll see you off."

"You drive the car to the door and wait for me. I'll get something."

An hour later, Xu Zhicai arrived at the Public Security Bureau. He requested to participate in the interrogation as Zhou Jianming's attorney.

Lin Dang was one of the top eight. Recently, there were many and complicated cases. Xu Zhi wanted to see Zhou Jianming as soon as he came. According to the regulations, he had to let the two meet.

"Ping team, this lawyer Xu is really annoying."

Ping Bokuan was sitting in the detachment office. In front of him was a whiteboard with some relationship chains drawn on it and many photos hung. He didn't know what he was thinking about, and he kept a motionless posture, and he didn't respond to Lin Dang's complaint just now.

The entire office was messy and disorderly, with files piled up in every station. Lin Dang hid in it, ate a few mouthfuls of instant noodles, and kept his eyes on the surveillance video on the screen, filtering frame by frame.

This video was sent by the Transportation Bureau. In order to clarify the entire process and route from Li Hua's disappearance to his death, just watching the surveillance was almost causing cataracts. Suddenly, a car passed by on the screen. With a mouthful of mouth, he pressed pause, and then backed up. The scene was at night, under a red light on a road in the eastern suburbs, a black commercial vehicle stopped. The rear door seemed to be slightly opened, but it closed quickly, with a small amount The speed is fast, and you won't notice anything unusual unless you look carefully.

Lin Dang slowed down the playback several times before shouting, "Team Ping, come and see!"

……

"That incident cannot be avoided." Xu Zhi sat next to Zhou Jianming and said to him, "I will help you get bail pending trial. Depending on the progress of the police, the case may be solved soon. What about you? What do you think?"

Zhou Jianming turned his head to look at him. There was surveillance here, and he could hear the meaning of Xu Zhi's words. Although he didn't say it clearly, the two of them looked at each other silently and seemed to have talked about everything clearly.

Xu Zhi looked away, "Understood, just tell me what you saw, and leave the rest to me."

Zhou Jianming leaned against the back of the chair and held Xu Zhi's thigh with his hands under the table. He didn't seem worried about what was going to happen next, but instead asked Xu Zhi, "How long will I be sentenced?"

"I don't know, but at least let the judge know your situation," Xu Zhi said, patted the back of his hand calmly, and cursed, "Confused..."

Zhou Jianming didn't take it seriously, pinched his fingers with his backhand, and rubbed them slowly, "Then when will we go to bed next time?"

When Xu Zhi heard this, he pulled out his hand violently, lowered his voice and reprimanded him, "You will be honest after a few years of imprisonment!" After speaking, he got up, "I'll hand in the video, you stay here."

When Xu Zhi came out, he met Ping Bokuan and the others rushing out. One by one, wearing bulletproof collars and carrying guns, they walked downstairs in unison. The end of the team caught Lin Dang, "Why are you going?"

Lin Dang hurriedly said, "Lawyer Xu, go back first, we will inform you about Zhou Jianming."

Xu Zhi couldn't catch it, and was anxious to give the USB flash drive, so he followed all the way downstairs, but the scene in the downstairs hall made him stop again.

The lobby on the first floor of the Public Security Bureau was crowded with people, and the police pointed their guns at a man in the center of the lobby.

The man was sloppy, wearing a short-sleeved floral shirt, his hands were raised to his ears in a gesture of surrender, his back was drooping because of his thin body, and he spoke in broken Mandarin, "Isn't this from surrendering yourself, big brothers?" , don’t need such a big fight!”

Under Ping Bokuan's signal, Lin Dang rushed over with two colleagues and handcuffed him. The scene suddenly became chaotic and frightening.

It had been more than an hour since Xu Zhi sat down again. There were people coming and going in the police station. When Ping Bokuan finished his work, Xu Zhi finally said something, "Officer Ping, what's going on?"

Ping Bokuan didn't intend to go into details, "The one from the head is Feng Xiangjun, the head of debt collection under Hengyou Financial Loan Company, do you know Hengyou well?"

Xu Zhi was silent, and Ping Bokuan said, "Your client, Zhou Jianming, also belongs to this company."

There is always temptation in Ping Bokuan's eyes, which can easily make Xu Zhi feel uncomfortable, "He confessed everything, that Zhou Jianming,"

"A confession is a confession. We still need to verify. You know Zhou Jianming's problem better than I do. I think you want to release him on bail, but there may be no chance. We will take the suspect to the scene in a while. After he explains clearly, Zhou Jianming will Be handed over to the Procuratorate with him, you are his lawyer, help him directly in front of the judge."

Ping Bokuan went in a hurry, and Xu Zhi stood where he was. He couldn't see the whole story clearly for a while. For example, Feng Xiangjun who surrendered himself today, and Zhou Jianming said "return the body to Liang An." Liang An, Feng Xiangjun, Zhou Jianming...what's the relationship...

When Xu Zhi came out from the Public Security Bureau, he ran into Li Hua's girlfriend who was rushing up. After the car parked by the roadside at the door, he relaxed a little.

"You haven't left yet?" He leaned on the passenger window, looking at Qi Jingyi who had been waiting inside for a long time.

Qi Jingyi leaned over and opened the car door for him, "Come up and have something to eat."

Xu Zhi sat on it obediently, and Qi Jingyi took a KFC bag and a bottle of milk from the back seat, handed him the food, put the milk in a straw, held it in his hand and watched him feed the chicken nuggets In his mouth, he said, "What's going on inside?"

"The suspect who killed Li Hua has surrendered himself. Ping Bokuan said that Zhou Jianming's matter cannot be left alone. I have to prepare to go to court."

The emotion in Qi Jingyi's eyes was indescribable, "He really didn't kill anyone."

"Why are you a little disappointed?" Xu Zhi looked over, "He never lied when he was young, Mr. Qi, you can't judge a person by his cover."

Qi Jingyi gave an ugly smile, Xu Zhi ate whole by the side, and the car became quiet. After a long time, Qi Jingyi said again, "Xu Zhi, I don't like you mixing with him."

Xu Zhigang took a chicken leg from the bag, then slowly put it back, put the bag by his feet, reached out and took out a piece of paper to wipe his mouth, "I liked you when I first joined Xincheng as an intern, you take care of me , love me, but never dare to face my feelings head-on, Qi Jingyi, I am also in my 30s, you don't know, how long do you want to spend on me?"

"Xu Zhi,"

"If Zhou Jianming doesn't show up, I really don't realize how fast time flies," Xu Zhi said. "I have to have one for love and sexual desire. Don't be surprised. No matter what feelings I have for Zhou Jianming, I will Let's go all out."

This is also the first time that he explained to Qi Jingyi the meaning behind liking you and liking you so clearly. He broke away from a relationship so untimely when Zhou Jianming was still inside and everything around him was clouded. up.

He got out of the car later and said that he would take a taxi to go back. Qi Jingyi's car didn't move at all. Xu Zhi leaned against the window of the taxi and passed by him. Seeing him lying on the steering wheel, surprisingly, he didn't feel angina.

Xu Zhi took two cases.

One is Zhou Jianming and the other is Wang Shuqin.

Because Feng Xiangjun's identification at the scene and the path of throwing the corpse, as well as all the criminal evidence were exactly the same as the facts he confessed. He confessed to the fact that the corpse was moved, and the next step is the trial.

The time to appear in court was finalized on August 25. Xu Zhi submitted the surveillance video of his own community on the night of the [-]th to the court, using his alibi to completely remove the possibility of Zhou Jianming and Feng Xiangjun committing a joint crime.

On the 25th, Xu Zhi saw Zhou Jianming again, who had been in the detention center for a month, and he still acted like nothing to do with him.

"Presiding judge, this is a photo of me ten years ago when I was teaching at the Puyun Club in Zhaojue County," Xu Zhi pointed to the screen, "The tall and thin boy on the far right is Zhou Jianming when he was 12 years old. Liangshan, the local scene of Puyun Society."

"Zhaojue County was one of the most impoverished areas in China at that time, and Puyun Society is located deep in the Daliang Mountains. Most of the villagers there are ethnic minorities, with traffic restrictions and language barriers. There are not many teachers who go to support education every year. Yue left, and the vacancy of education made the adults and children there hardly know a few words, and they were even more worried about the law," Xu Zhi said, and changed another batch of photos, this time it was a brick house in the east of the city, Railroad tracks, and roads paved with gravel, "This is Zhou Jianming's residence after he came to Jiangbei, a row of brick houses under the railway tracks in the eastern suburbs. Even if he came to the city, he could not get in touch with the real city life. It’s just Yunshe, the presiding judge, the facts I stated are just to hope that everyone can see the environment in which Zhou Jianming himself lives. The lack of education and the gap between the rich and the poor are social problems. Zhou Jianming doesn’t know the law. I have just learned to speak Chinese, so the presiding judge should consider the above facts and make a judgment as appropriate."

……

At the end of August, when the heat wave hit people, Zhou Jianming was ordered to be detained for six months in the case of transferring the dead body.

The news that day also reported the details of Li Hua’s case. Ping Bokuan appeared on TV and car radio again, and Li Hua’s case was solved. Xu Zhi’s new Audi was parked in the underground parking lot of Yuehai Group. He remembered Zhou Jianming when he was taken away. Looking across the bailiff, his eyes stayed on himself, just like today's temperature, it was scorching hot and frightening.

From time to time, the phone vibrated and buzzed, Xu Zhi pressed the answer button on the central control display, and the other end said——

"Lawyer Xu, have you arrived yet?"

"Well, come up now."

"Okay, Mr. Zhang is still in a meeting, I'll come down to pick you up first."

"No need for Xiao Gao, I know the way, and it's not like I haven't been here before."

The other end smiled, "Well, what do you drink, coffee or juice?"

"Juice," Xu Zhi turned to his mobile phone to answer the call, got out of the car and pressed the lock, walked out of the parking space, and went to the elevator, but within two steps, a beam of light came from behind him, Xu Zhi took a step sideways, A Lincoln drove by, the rear window was open, and accidentally bumped into the sight of the person inside, Xu Zhi shivered for no reason.
