"Why are you here?"
Seeing Zhang Qishan suddenly appear behind me, I was originally a little nervous, but now I became completely anxious! This plan was arranged by me, so I didn't tell Zhang Qishan, but came here secretly by myself. You know, this plan is quite dangerous. Now that Zhang Qishan appeared, I immediately wanted to take her away from this law firm, and instantly forgot the plan that was just in my mind.
There seemed to be something more in Zhang Qishan's eyes when he looked at me at this moment, but before I could savor it carefully, Zhang Qishan hugged me and said, "Let's go, don't go in, okay?"
Hearing Zhang Qishan's words, my heart sank to the bottom again. Since she knew the danger here, she should know a lot of things. But before I could ask more, Zhang Qishan looked at me and said, "I followed you all the way here. Today is Christmas Eve. Didn't you say you wanted to spend it with me?"
As Zhang Qishan was talking, her eyes became hazy. Seeing her like this, I felt sorry for her. I swallowed back the words I wanted to ask. I smiled and reached out to touch her head and said, "When have I never failed to do what I promised you? But now I have something important to do. I'll go back and spend the holiday with you after I finish it, okay?"
But Zhang Qishan was unwilling to do so. She still held me tightly, reached out from her pocket, took out a packaged apple, handed it to me and said, "Since it is Christmas Eve, we should stay together. No matter what happens, we will not separate tonight."
Zhang Qishan's eyes were extremely determined at this moment, and I had never seen her so strong before. She was so strong that I could not refuse her request at all. After staring at Zhang Qishan for nearly ten seconds, I finally compromised. No matter what Zhang Qishan's purpose was, there was always someone by my side. No matter what kind of environment I was in, I should enjoy the moment.
I smiled and nodded, then took out the apple I had prepared for her from my pocket. Only then did I realize that the apples we both picked were in the same packaging. The only difference was that my apple had a letter S on it, while the apple she bought had a letter W on it, symbolizing our two names, Shan and Wen.
I snatched the apple from Zhang Qishan's hand, handed her my apple, and said with a smirk, "It seems that you have been following me for a long time, otherwise why would you deliberately buy the same apple as me?"
Zhang Qishan blushed immediately and refused to admit: "Who said that? I just picked it randomly. This only shows that we are quite in tune with each other, hehe."
We unpacked the apples and sat on the steps of the law firm. We didn't care that the apples were not washed, nor did we care about the surprised looks of passers-by. We just sat on the ground, leaning against each other, and quietly ate the apples in our hands.
In fact, I have planned plenty of time for myself. At the moment, it seems that I still have about ten minutes to waste. Being able to quietly enjoy the Apple in my hand like this is already a luxury under the current circumstances.
While eating an apple, I said to Zhang Qishan, "I have received a special recruitment notice from the special case team. I want to join them and complete what my father did not complete. What do you think?"
Zhang Qishan seemed to have known about this for a long time. He just nodded and said, "I support you in whatever you like to do. I will go to the capital with you. I will go wherever you go. Don't dump me."
"Dump you? How could I bear to do that? Hehe! But speaking of which, I have something urgent to do when I go upstairs later. Can you wait for me downstairs?"
"No! We agreed that we would be together no matter what happened today. Besides, didn't I promise you before that I would tell you everything I didn't tell you tonight? When this is over, I will tell you everything. Don't you want to know?"
Looking at the smile on Zhang Qishan's face, I really wanted to tell her that I really didn't want to know, but in the end I didn't say a word. I had no choice but to walk upstairs with Zhang Qishan.
As we were walking up the stairs, Zhang Qishan suddenly asked me a strange question, "Have you really decided to choose this career? In fact, being an ordinary person is not bad. At least we don't have to worry about so many troubles in the future."
I sighed, hesitated for a moment and said, "Do you think I don't want to be an ordinary person? My dream is to open my own express delivery store, live a carefree life every day, play mahjong and games when I have nothing to do, but the more I know now, the more I can't do this. My father has been a coward for half his life because of this matter. No matter what, I have to solve this matter of my father thoroughly, otherwise my Ji family will be in turmoil sooner or later because of this matter!"
As we were talking, we had already reached the second floor. This law firm was not very big, but the floors were a bit high. When we looked at it from downstairs just now, it had about six floors. When we came to the second floor, we saw the communication room of this law firm.
The old man in the reception room stopped us and asked us what we wanted to do. He took out a book and asked us to register our identities. I wrote my name on it and asked, "Excuse me, where is Lawyer Gao?"
The old man in the reception room looked up at me and immediately smiled, "It seems that you are looking for Lawyer Gao to sue? You have found the right person. Lawyer Gao is the most powerful lawyer here. He just asked me for the key to the rooftop and seems to be looking at the scenery on the rooftop. You should be able to see it when you go up."
The old man's words gave me a bad feeling. Why did Lawyer Gao go to the rooftop at this time? Did he know I was coming and was waiting for me on the rooftop
No matter what happens now, I cannot retreat. I turned around and took a last look at Zhang Qishan. Seeing that she still had no intention of leaving, I sighed and took Zhang Qishan up the stairs to the roof.
We quickly reached the rooftop of the sixth floor. As it was a holiday today, the surroundings were brightly lit and the light on the rooftop was not very dim. As soon as I reached the rooftop, I saw the target I was looking for this time, Lawyer Gao, sitting on the edge of the rooftop, smoking a cigarette while looking at the scenery downstairs, looking very leisurely.
Lawyer Gao seemed to know that it was me, and said without turning his head, "If you need my help with a lawsuit, you can go to my office and wait. If it's for other matters, I advise you to go back. Otherwise, I can sue you for harassment."
I ignored Lawyer Gao's threats, pulled Zhang Qishan to his side and said, "Sorry, what you said is not right. I came here to arrest you."
"Arrest me? Why? Have I broken any law?"
Lawyer Gao seemed a little surprised and turned to look at me. He was wearing the gold-rimmed glasses at this time, but I could vaguely see a lightning-like scar on the edge of his eye socket hidden by the gold-rimmed glasses!
"You know whether you have violated the law or not. I had no way of suspecting you at first, but when I saw the scar on your face, I understood everything. The person who actually commanded Qiongqi was not Azan Ban, but you, right?"
When I saw the information about Lawyer Gao that Officer Yang brought, I saw that in the ID photo Lawyer Gao was not wearing gold-rimmed glasses, which completely exposed the scar. When I saw the scar, I realized where I had seen this person before.
In fact, I have always had a question from the very beginning. Ajarn Ban has performed black magic three times in total. One was for the souls of Li Hua and me, and the other two were the ways of death of the two deceased. But the strange thing is that those two black magics killed the victims instantly, but the black magic for Li Hua and me became a slow-acting black magic. Although I know that he just wanted to use that mandrake flower to make us hallucinate.
If you think about it carefully, the reason why Ajahn Ban's first two actions were so effective was that the Qiongqi behind him had already arranged everything, and casting spells on us in the interrogation room was not under Qiongqi's arrangement. In addition, the most important point is that Ajahn Ban's two murderous black magics were cast at the same location, which was the entrance of Red Sun Square!
Why was it that his black magic had an immediate effect there, but had no effect in the interrogation room? If there was an explanation, it was that only at the entrance of the Red Sun Square could Azan Ban really contact the murderer, and their contact was not through some hidden communication device, but through another person who was hidden in the Red Sun Square and was not noticed at all. This person was Lawyer Gao in front of him!
This is actually the clue that Li Hua wanted to tell me. That is the meaning of the word "people". He wanted to say that there were other people at the scene helping Ajahn Ban to contact the murderer, so Ajahn Ban could synchronize his spells with the murderer every time, because this person could observe Ajahn Ban's actions in the dark, thus skipping Ajahn Ban's contact with the murderer.
I always make this kind of mistake. In my opinion, the number of murderers is always just the number I see on the surface, but I never think that the number of murderers is not as many as I understand. Whether it was the last time Bai Lou met Qiongqi or the current case, I made such a stupid mistake.
As for how Lawyer Gao avoided the police's sight and secretly sent the message to the murderer, it was because Lawyer Gao used the same method as the murderer to kill the fat man's sister. In fact, he had been in the Red Sun Square all the time and pretended to be a certain identity, which made it impossible for us to recognize him. The person he pretended to be was the owner of the strange stone shop that I would go to every time, which was closest to the place where Ajarn Ban performed the ritual!
