Escape From the Library

【Death of a Lawyer 01】

At 07:30 the next morning, everyone gathered at the entrance of the cafeteria, had breakfast together with team points, and then took the elevator to the law school course selection center on the 6th floor.

The first echelon with the fastest progress in the library is already familiar with each other, and Yue Xingwen really met Yu Mingyu, Qin Lang, Chen Muyun and others here.

Yu Mingyu and Chen Muyun were discussing things, Yue Xingwen passed by them, and vaguely heard Yu Mingyu saying: "Your team has two classmates from the law school, lend us one."

Yue Xingwen stopped in his tracks and asked curiously, "Brother Yu, do you want to borrow a member of Team X?"

Yu Mingyu shrugged helplessly: "There is no way, our team has too many science students, and there is no law school. The courses of the law school involve lawyers and defense. We are worried that if the professional knowledge is not good enough, we will fail the course at that time."

Once you fail a course, you have to start rebuilding from the first floor, which is too miserable.

Next to him, Qin Lang came over and persuaded, "Mu Yun, how many law school classmates do you have? Let me borrow one for them. After seeing the class schedule last night, Ming Yu was almost bald."

Yu Mingyu said: "That's right, just do me a favor."

Chen Muyun thought for a while, then looked at the boy next to him: "Brother Xing, would you like to go there?" She is the team leader and cannot leave the team by herself, so if the A-76 research team at Kyoto University wants to borrow team members, she can only let graduate students Brother Xing Luo went to help.

Yue Xingwen was deeply impressed by this Senior Brother Xing. In the badminton doubles event of the sports meeting not long ago, he and Jiang Pingce met Xing Luo and Chen Muyun in the finals, and were forcibly sent to the Civil Affairs Bureau by Xing Luo.If I remember correctly, Brother Xing majored in Marriage Law.

Sure enough, Xing Luo said: "I major in Marriage Law. I only understand the surface of Criminal Law and Economic Law. I don't know what aspects the course will cover. If you can trust me, I can come and help."

Yu Mingyu was overjoyed: "That's great! No matter what kind of Dharma you practice, it's better than us Dharma-blind people."

People around: "..."

This is true. Ordinary people can only guarantee that they will not break the law and commit crimes. The specific legal provisions are really blind.After thinking about the law school courses, it is necessary to bring a law school classmate.

Chen Muyun immediately made a decision: "Then let Brother Xing go to the A76 research group as X's foreign aid. Ming Yu, do you want another person to come over there, or 13 people to enter the course?"

Members of the X group do not occupy the quota of the research group, and can enter the examination room in the form of a fixed team of 12 people + 1 foreign aid, but in this case, Chen Muyun's team of the University of Political Science and Law will become 11 people.Just to be on the safe side, Yu Mingyu said: "Let's change someone from my side to your group. There are 12 people on both sides entering the examination room. Zhou Yu, go find Senior Sister Mu Yun."

The younger brother who was called obediently came over to say hello to Chen Muyun.

Zhuo Feng leaned into Yue Xingwen's ear and said, "This Zhou Yu is a sophomore in the Department of Philosophy. He often reads novels. He should not be weak in reasoning. Yu Mingyu is still very righteous. Let him replace with a stronger team member."

Yue Xingwen nodded: "Well, our team also lacks some majors. If we encounter business schools or the like in the future, we have to ask them to borrow people. Let's see how they operate."

After the two parties exchange team members, the exchanged person will temporarily join the research group as an "X team member" and share the credits and points of the research team.

After the reorganization of several teams, they went to the tablet computer and pressed the course selection button.

Familiar information popped up on the screen——

[Compulsory Course: Death of a Lawyer]

【School: Law School】

【Credits: 4】

[Examination room rules: The maximum number of people in the examination room is 12 (excluding X group members)]

[Course description: A lawyer died strangely at night, who would kill the lawyer? 】

[Examination requirements: Find the real murderer within 5 days]

[Remarks: There are teammates with related majors in the law school in the recommended team]

[Confirm Course Selection: Yes/No]

Yue Xingwen pressed "Yes".

A mechanical voice reminded me: "The C183 research group has successfully selected the course, and the exam is about to start. Please go to the lounge to prepare."

Yue Xingwen led his teammates to the empty classroom next to him.

There are still 8 minutes left until the exam starts at 5 o'clock sharp. Yue Xingwen reminded: "After entering the exam room later, everyone, don't act rashly. Be careful and pay attention to the details around you. Maybe there will be clues."

It was not the first time that the reasoning class was taken, and everyone nodded to express their understanding.

At 8 o'clock, the exam officially began.

Yue Xingwen's eyes went dark, and when he recovered his vision again, he found himself in a spacious and bright office, not far in front of him was a huge floor-to-ceiling window occupying one wall, Yue Xingwen rubbed his eyes, and walked forward quickly To the floor-to-ceiling windows.

In a modern city, standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, you can overlook the landscape of the entire city.Judging from the scenery outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, this building should be located in the bustling city center, surrounded by high-rise buildings. Yue Xingwen's current floor is at least above the 40th floor. The road under his feet can barely be seen clearly, and the vehicles and pedestrians are too small. Like ants.

The rent of an office building in the city center is definitely not cheap, not to mention that the area of ​​this office is more spacious and luxurious than the president's office that Yue Xingwen has seen on TV.There is a row of leather sofas against the wall. In the middle of the room is a solid wood desk with a rotatable leather boss chair. Behind the desk is a row of neat bookshelves with a lot of materials on it.

Yue Xingwen observed the office carefully for a while, but found no special clues.Instead, I noticed that one of the drawers of the desk was equipped with a combination lock.

At this moment, the door was pushed open, and a young man walked in. He was drinking coffee slowly, raised his eyebrows unexpectedly when he saw Yue Xingwen, and said, "Are you the new intern?" ? Don’t come into my office casually.”

Yue Xingwen immediately explained: "Sorry, I went wrong..."

The man sat on the boss's chair with a friendly smile: "The intern will be taken by Lawyer Lan, you can go find her."

Yue Xingwen turned and went out. Next to the wide corridor were neatly arranged offices. He soon saw the room with "Lan Yarong Lawyer" on the door plate, and knocked on the door to enter.

He thought his teammates were all here, but when he entered the room, he only saw Lan Yarong and Lin Manluo.The two girls looked at Shangyue Xingwen, and immediately came forward: "Xingwen!"

Yue Xingwen asked suspiciously, "Where are the others?"

Lan Yarong shook her head: "I don't know either. I just checked the list of the law firm. Only you and Man Luo are the interns of our law firm. The names of the others are not here."

Lin Manluo hurriedly said, "Ask where everyone is on the research group channel."

Yue Xingwen opened the research group channel, but found that there was an X drawn in the input box——the research group channel was disabled.

Lan Yarong also noticed this: "Banned? I can't use the research group channel to communicate. Could it be that everyone is scattered in different places, so we need to separate to find clues?"

Last time, in the construction site decryption course of the School of Architecture, everyone lived together and could discuss it at any time. Any student who found a clue could immediately share it with his teammates.Now that they are separated, the difficulty has increased significantly.

Yue Xingwen was silent for a moment, and said: "It's not easy to go out to find someone in such a big city, so please calm down and sort out the clues on our side. The name of the course is "Death of a Lawyer", and the deceased is likely to be a law firm." people."

Lan Yarong nodded in agreement, turned the laptop 90 degrees, and the screen faced Yue Xingwen: "There is a folder on my computer desktop, which contains the information of the law firm and the list of all lawyers. You can read it first. look."

Yue Xingwen opened the file and went through it carefully.

The name of this law firm is "Minghui Law Firm". The founder, Liu Minghui, graduated from the first-class Beijiang University of Political Science and Law in China, and obtained a doctorate in law. He is quite famous in the industry.This private law firm has been established for five years, has filed many well-known lawsuits, and has also attracted many talents.

At present, Minghui Law Firm has 10 professional lawyers who are good at criminal law, economic law, marriage law and other legal fields. Each lawyer has a separate office and is equipped with 2~3 assistants.

Lan Yarong is also a partner lawyer of Minghui Law Firm, mainly taking cases related to marriage law.

Yue Xingwen has a super strong memory of "photographic memory" since he was a child. He quickly scanned the documents and memorized the names of all the staff in the law firm.

The lawyer I met in the office just now is named Zhou Ziyang, who is 30 years old and is mainly in charge of criminal cases.

Yue Xingwen met him once, and after seeing the photos in the file, he couldn't help but take another look. This person also graduated from Beijiang University of Political Science and Law, and he is a brother of Liu Minghui, the founder of Minghui Law Firm.

At present, it is not known which lawyer will die, and Yue Xingwen has no clue, so he has to write down the information first.After memorizing the documents, he reminded, "Senior Sister Lan, do you have a USB flash drive? Copy the documents from the law firm. When you meet Ke Shaobin later, you can give the documents to him for backup, and let other students take a look."

"Okay." Lan Yarong nodded, found a USB flash drive and copied the data.

Outside the window, the clouds in the sky are dyed golden and red by the rays of the setting sun. Through the floor-to-ceiling windows here, you can enjoy the most beautiful sunset.

When the off-duty time came, there was still no news from other teammates, Yue Xingwen asked, "What shall we do next?"

Lan Yarong said: "The library told me that Minghui Law Firm's treatment is very good. The interns are provided with board and lodging. The accommodation is arranged in the single apartment opposite the office building. You two live in Building A 512 and 513 respectively. You can first Go back to the dormitory and rest."

Yue Xingwen thought for a while, and said, "Go back to the dormitory, maybe we can meet other people."

The deceased did not show up, and now they are investigating aimlessly, just running around like headless chickens, not to mention wasting time, what they find is likely to be useless information.

Therefore, Yue Xingwen decided to find his teammates first.

As soon as the three of them walked to the elevator together, Yue Xingwen caught sight of a tall figure from the corner of his eye. He immediately walked over with light steps, and looked in through the crack of the door. He saw that the lawyer named Zhou Ziyang just now , holding a mobile phone, standing in the corner of the stairwell, talking to someone in a low voice, with obvious impatience in his expression.

"Enough, I don't want to talk nonsense with you anymore! If you don't agree with the court's decision, you can appeal, but I guarantee that the result of the appeal will be the same! You can do whatever you want to waste time."

He hung up the phone with a sullen face, then took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it, took a few puffs irritably, snuffed out the cigarette, and then walked quickly towards the elevator.

Yue Xingwen dodges immediately.

Zhou Ziyang regained his calm expression, walked to the elevator door, and pressed the button.

Lan Yarong asked politely, "Lawyer Zhou is going to leave work?"

Zhou Ziyang put on a friendly smile: "Well, go home and rest."

With a ding, the elevator stopped in front of him. Zhou Ziyang made a gentlemanly gesture of "please" to let the girls go first. Lan Yarong and Lin Manluo got into the elevator, and he followed. Yue Xingwen walked behind him , looking at his back calmly, unexpectedly found that there seemed to be a bruise on his wrist.

This lawyer Zhou should be the key person in this course. Who was he calling just now?The "appeal if dissatisfied" mentioned by him means that the judgment of the case he took over was unsatisfactory?

Yue Xingwen's mind was spinning rapidly.

It wasn't until the elevator stopped on the first floor that he withdrew his thoughts and walked out with his two teammates.

At the same time, the Criminal Police Brigade.

When it was time to get off work, Jiang Pingce in uniform pushed open the door of the office, just in time to see Ke Shaobin coming out from the next door.The other party adjusted his glasses nervously, and said in a low voice, "Ping Ce, your clothes... are you a policeman?"

Jiang Pingce nodded, "What about you, police trainee?"

Ke Shaobin said: "I am a member of the Internet Investigation Division of the Criminal Police Force."

Jiang Pingce frowned and looked around: "Have you seen Xingwen?"

Ke Shaobin shook his head: "I just checked the personnel list, and Qin Miao is a member of the Trace Identification Section."

As soon as the words fell, a short-haired girl in a professional suit skirt and high heels walked down the stairs. After seeing them, she immediately quickened her pace: "What's the situation? Where are the others?"

Jiang Pingce said: "It may be that everyone has been assigned different identities, and there are only three of us in the police force."

In the courses of the School of Architecture, everyone has become a construction worker, living on the construction site to solve puzzles.The case this time is obviously not that simple. Jiang Pingce thought for two seconds, and whispered to Ke Shaobin: "First find out the whereabouts of all the team members."
