Disciplinary Guidelines

It is difficult for Ji Yao to express his current mood clearly.

It seemed that it was the first time he heard the evaluation of Jiang Heng from other people from this angle, so that he even needed to react before he could match the "young talent" in Wang Tao's mouth with Jiang Heng himself.

Before that, the image of Jiang Heng was almost fixed—friends in the circle felt that he was generous and free-spirited; He is invulnerable to the five poisons, like a spirit made of poppies, full of mysterious and dangerous smells all over his body, making him want to stay away, but he can't control himself to immerse himself in it.

Having known each other for three years and sharing the same bed for more than two years, Ji Yao thought that he understood him better than many people.But now after jumping out of that environment, Ji Yao suddenly found that he was not exactly what he imagined.

In Ji Yao's impression, Jiang Heng has a clear distinction between public and private, and always puts the client's interests as the first priority. As for who is innocent in the case and who has done evil, he doesn't seem to care that much.

It's funny to say that in the half month before the trial, Ji Yao had several nightmares, dreaming that he was in prison, and then Jiang Heng came to visit him in a suit and leather shoes.

He was ready for the snowfall in June, but Wang Tao's light words gave Jiang Heng a different look.

When the two cognitions started to contradict each other, Ji Yao's heart was easily shaken.

Do I really understand him, Ji Yao wondered, is it because he has changed in the past few years, or he has never understood Jiang Heng.

At this moment, at this very moment, Jiang Heng in his heart suddenly and miraculously separated from the "love AI" template, and had another brand new outline.

"Xiao Ji." Wang Tao didn't pay attention to his ecstasy, and asked casually, "Where do you live? It's not easy to take a taxi at this point. Let me take you for a while?"

"I'll just go to the hospital, my home is near the hospital." Ji Yao came back to his senses: "Just drop me wherever you go."

"By the way, it's okay." Wang Tao signaled him to get in the car: "Then I'll put you at the gate of your hospital."

"Okay." Ji Yao smiled and said, "Thank you then."

Ji Yao got into the car and took out his mobile phone from his pocket. Before the trial, his mobile phone had been turned off all the time.

He pressed the power button, the screen of the phone turned on, the LOGO popped up, and the progress bar of loading and starting went very slowly. Ji Yao licked his lips and suddenly wanted to say something.

Wang Tao is not a suitable audience, but Ji Yao can't find anyone else for the time being.

"Actually, I was quite worried before today." Ji Yao said slowly, "I didn't expect the other party's lawyer to help me."

"Huh?" Wang Tao sensed something strange from his voice, glanced at him unexpectedly, and said with a smile, "You know Jiang Heng?"

"...No." Ji Yao said, "But I heard from friends that he has helped many defendants in lawsuits before."

Wang Tao understood what he meant as soon as he heard it, and couldn't help laughing.

"I heard that he has defended many criminal suspects?" Wang Tao asked.

Ji Yao hummed.

"It's normal, sometimes outsiders think so." Wang Tao turned the steering wheel and merged into the traffic: "The general public sometimes thinks that defending the heinous criminals is to help them get away with crimes, and they are the same. But in fact, the law It has its own rules, it is true that the victim must seek justice according to the law, but the criminal must also obtain justice from the law."

"In some cases, the actual charges of criminal suspects are far lower than the influence of public opinion and morality." Wang Tao said: "Most of the defendants are people who have done wrong things, but not everyone deserves to die. In this case Therefore, you should be more cautious as a defendant's defense attorney than as a plaintiff's attorney-because the lawyer will become the last straw for the criminal to get justice, and if you don't do your best, he will not be saved."

As Wang Tao spoke, he glanced at Ji Yao from the corner of his eye, and made a joke: "For example, even if a murderer is sent to your hospital, you have to heal him before sending him to the police station."

"... makes sense." Ji Yao said.

While talking, his mobile phone was turned on, several pop-up windows popped up on the screen quickly, and there were still two missed calls.

He Xiangyin couldn't stay idle, and sent several WeChat messages to ask Ji Yao about the outcome of the trial.

Ji Yao replied that he won, and explained the situation of the trial in a few words.

"That's okay." He Xiangyin posted an emoji of a white dog raising a knife, and said, "It seems that my ex-husband is not bad."

"Sometimes the law has loopholes, so how to balance the loopholes and achieve a double balance between morality and law is actually a science." Wang Tao said: "For example, the matter between you and Liu Qiang, from our point of view, he It did a good job."

Wang Tao's words overlapped with the new news that popped up in the WeChat dialog box, and the colorful lights on the road reflected in through the car window and landed on Ji Yao's thin shoulders.

New messages were still popping up in the WeChat dialog box, and He Xiangyin cheered happily, ready to give him "go to bad luck" and ask him if he would like to have a deep immersion bathing spa.

But Ji Yao was holding the phone, and suddenly an impulse surged in his heart.

He wanted to ask Jiang Heng if he really wanted to help him.

It seems pointless to delve into this question.The trial is over, whether the answer is yes or no, it doesn't matter to Ji Yao.

But Ji Yao somehow felt that if he couldn't ask this answer, he wouldn't be able to sleep well tonight.

"Lawyer Wang—" Ji Yao simply replied "No" to He Xiangyin, and then said to Wang Tao, "Please put me down at the subway station ahead."

"Huh?" Wang Tao was stunned for a moment, wondering, "Aren't you going to the hospital?"

"No." Ji Yao said: "I suddenly remembered that I have something to do, and I have to go to another place temporarily."

Theone Bar is located in the old city of Shanghai. It clearly bears the sign of a bar. The inside is more plain than anyone else. It is hidden in an alley twisted and twisted. Outsiders can't find it through the navigation. It covers an area of ​​only [-] square meters. less than.

Under the dim light, there were very few guests in the bar, and instead of lively rock music, the unpopular Italian ballads were played on the stereo.

Jiang Heng was sitting next to the bar, his coat was hanging on the back of the chair, and the cocktail in his hand was half drunk.

The bar owner was sitting at the bar, playing match [-] games, and glanced at him from the corner of his eye.

"Why is your complexion so bad?" He said, "You look like a ghost after being hit by a lamp."

"I stayed up late a few days ago to handle a case." Jiang Heng said, "Just go back and eat some Vitamin C."

Liu Qiang's case has just started, and Zhou Fang's case is still under investigation, and a court date has not been set for the time being. Jiang Heng's work has come to an end, and he can breathe a sigh of relief for the time being.

After the trial was over, he helped Li Nan take Li Linghua home, comforted her for a while, and then got out, ready to go home and sleep comfortably for a full night's sleep after having two drinks.

"Don't work so hard, you earn as much money as you want." The bar owner said, "Hey, Ge Xing asked me to ask you if you want to go to Beijing for Christmas. He will be the host and welcome you on your birthday."

Theone's boss is Ge Hongniang's "successful case" and was once an old acquaintance of Jiang Heng.He was introduced by Ge Xing to a painter from Shanghai, and he got along well, so he simply married and opened a small bar here.

Jiang Heng hadn't seen him for almost three years, and this was the first time he came back.

"Not going." Jiang Heng smiled and said, "The case is not over yet."

"Okay then." The bar owner knocked twice on the phone screen without interest, and said, "I don't know when I can have a meal with my old friends."

"Next time." Jiang Heng said, "When I'm done, I'll be the host—"

Before he finished speaking, the mobile phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated. Jiang Heng looked down at the caller ID, and his face became a little unnatural.

He gestured excuse me to the bar owner, held up the phone and went out.

The bar owner stretched his neck and looked at him for a while, then lowered his head in boredom and continued to play mini games. Jiang Heng didn't come back from outside until he passed twelve levels.

He didn't know who answered the call, and his mood seemed a little more complicated than before. He sat back on the bar and didn't say anything, just tapped on the bar with his fingers.

"Whiskey." Jiang Heng said, "Add a hand-chiseled ice ball."

"Huh?" The bar owner raised his eyebrows in surprise, and bent down to take out the ice pick from under the bar: "So you're so busy waiting?"

"Of course." Jiang Heng hooked the corners of his lips and said, "Why are you unhappy after hearing the good news?"

Jiang Heng drank the rest of the wine in one gulp, pushed the cup to the bar owner, then clicked on Gao Jingyi's dialogue box, and sent him several year-end summary documents.

The bar owner took a look at him with the puck, and saw that he was switching back and forth between several interfaces quickly, and he didn't know what he was busy with.

After Jiang Heng finished arranging the year-end work, he made an appointment with Aunt Cleaning to come to the door. The whiskey with ice hockey was just ready, and it was pushed to him.

He didn't raise his head, just stretched out his hand, and before he took the glass of wine, he saw a hand suddenly stretched out from beside him, covering the mouth of the glass.

Jiang Heng raised his head in wonder, then froze suddenly.

"Change to a glass." Ji Yao didn't look at him, and only said to the bar owner: "A glass of Tequila Sunrise, the base wine is halved."
