The old fox in Joe's mouth, his father, Mr. Devore Evers, is a well-known figure in the whole league.
But most people's impression of him is in the various news reports. Mr. Eves always has a polite smile, and his silver hair is neatly groomed and has a tinge of unfading gold at the end.
Even if he has passed his prime and begins to age, he is still a gentleman.
The Eves family has had this kind of temperament for generations, so the public's favorability is very high.
The ancestors started from the original military materials, and later turned to civilian use, and then set foot in various fields, the Eves family always went very smoothly, which has nothing to do with their family temperament and image.
In the generation of Master Qiao... Probably a genetic mutation—
The elder sister is fierce, and the younger brother is stupid.
Mr. Devore Evers on Master Joe's screen, however, is rare.
In the jumping photo, Eveth is sitting in the study, staring at the camera, holding a glass ashtray in one hand, as if he will throw it towards the camera in the next second.
No gentleman or etiquette, a far cry from his usual public image.
At first glance, this kind of photo is the handwriting of Mr. Qiao, and only he can provoke the gentleman Mr. Eveth in the eyes of the public.
Qiao Void flicked the screen, admiring his father's violent heroic appearance, snorted and mumbled: "I'm shaking my hands again..."
After speaking, he hung up the communication without hesitation.
"No?" Gu Yan asked.
"No answer! His hands must be shaking. When has he called me for so many years, and everything has been conveyed by Eunice." Joe snorted and said, "You don't know, last year I was there. After a while. When he was hospitalized, I thought there was something wrong, so I took it without thinking, but guess what, the old fox said 'wrong type' when he heard my voice, and sent the communication to Hang up. Can you bear it for you? Anyway, I don't."
As a result, just after saying this, a new communication request jumped out again.
His screen settings have not been changed, and the angle is still flat. As soon as the communication request comes out, Yan Suizhi and Gu Yan can see it clearly.
Still the old father who was furious.
"Again?" Joe raised his eyebrows.
The possibility of shaking hands twice in a row is too small, maybe something really happened this time.
Joe hesitated for two seconds, but still pressed his nose and nodded to confirm.
"Is something wrong?" He didn't even say hello, he just threw out such a sentence.
I don't know what happened on the other side, and suddenly there was a loud noise, and then a female voice came over, muttering something in a low voice, and said, "Hey!"
Joe was stunned for a moment, "Younis? You take the old... You have something to take your smartphone, what are you doing with his? Aren't you afraid I'll take it?"
"I'm sick?" Sister Eunice said, "He made the call, and when he was talking, he threw the ear button in my hand. No nonsense, we can't go to the Hardin Garden Hotel."
"...Oh, clapping and applauding." Joe snorted, "No, he called here just to make you say this? The police station is closed, who can come in, and he told me specifically? He told me so much. Detour. Where are you?"
Eunice said: "It's in Fawang District. I had already gone to the hotel, but I suddenly received news on the way. The old man is worried about you, so we stayed here for the first time."
As soon as these words were finished, a majestic voice of Devo Eves came from next to Eunice, "Fuck!"
Eunice wasn't afraid of him at all, and continued to say to Joe, "Don't pay attention to him, he just heard that there was a murder case, and he was not at ease, so he was looking for an excuse to talk to you. It's been an hour to be hypocritical."
"What nonsense?!" Devore Evers reprimanded over there without a gentleman.
Eunice: "Why are you talking nonsense? Didn't you urge me to call this fool last time, Tianqin?"
Joe: "…Ms. Eunice, I'm still listening, can you pay attention to your words?"
Eunice: "Shut up and wait."
She seemed to be in a circle with Devo Eves, Eves said angrily: "What nonsense, give me the ear button!"
"It's late," Eunice said.
"Why are you robbing my smartphone!" Eves said again in a ping-pong-pong.
The voices of the father and daughter were louder than each other when they shouted at each other. Even if Joe was not open, he could still listen to it.
Out of politeness, Yan Suizhi made a gesture with Qiao, indicating that he and Gu Yan should avoid first.
In the end, Young Master Qiao was very upright, waved at them, and said with his mouth: "What are you running, you can't do it, and it's not a secret."
While they were talking, a series of high-heeled shoes clapped from their ear buckles, followed by the sound of locking the door.
Eunice lowered her voice, "Stop talking about that, be careful about your hotel... It may be involved with Manson and the others."
"What do you mean? How did you know it was about Manson? What did you hear?" Joe asked.
Gu Yan and Yan Suizhi looked at him.
"No." Eunice said, "The police station just told us that something happened over your side, a watchman in the monitoring room, right?"
"Oh, yes."
"That's why it's strange. Is it a bit reluctant for a duty clerk to think of the Mansons? But the old man thinks so." Euniston said, "I think we may have misunderstood the relationship between the old man and the Manson family before. Things may not have been as simple as we thought before."
"..." Joe was silent for a moment. In the past two years, he occasionally had the illusion that his relationship with his father Eves was not so bad, such as just now.
On the one hand, Eveth is indeed slowly estranged from the Mansons, and on the other hand, because Eunice is reconciling.
But once he brought up topics related to "before", he would have a slight disgust.
Eunice thought for a while and then said, "But it's a bit troublesome to dig through those things now. The information is incomplete, and it's even harder to avoid the old man's network. After all, it's not easy to have someone in charge of some cases."
Joe scratched his hair, repulsing the subject instinctively. After listening, he mumbled "um" in his throat.
He had mixed feelings about Eunice's words.
On the one hand, if his speculation about his father in the past few decades is a misunderstanding, it is actually a good thing, and he even looks forward to it.
But on the other hand, he was worried that the results of the investigation would be a stumbling block to the previous conjectures.
"There are also people who did not do it." Joe couldn't help but say.
But after speaking, he wanted to bite off his tongue again. Because it really sounds like agitation.
Sure enough, it was his attitude that Eunice was waiting for.
She immediately said: "Yes, there are also a few marginal things. The lawyers, judges, and police stations who were in charge at that time may have nothing to do with those lunatic families, but..."
Eunice said he was in trouble again, "It's actually hard to determine, who can be sure which one is real and which one is fake doesn't matter."
With the family name card of Eveth behind their backs, they used to do everything easier than others. News comes faster than ordinary people, and checking things is easier than ordinary people. Some people spend more than ten years to touch the edge, and they may start at the center.
But at some point, they will be stagnant because of the intertwined family relationship, and they will be more constrained than ordinary people. In the end, they will turn to people outside the relationship circle for help.
"Eh? By the way, what about Gu? He's a lawyer, and he's one of the few people who can be at ease, why don't you... Eunice said.
Qiao Xin said that among the three lawyers in front of me, all of them are quite reassuring, and there are not many at all.
He glanced at several people on the sofa.
To be honest, he doesn't want to involve the people he cares about in this kind of thing, and it's best not to touch it with a single finger. So as not to find out something dirty their hands, but also affect the relationship.
but…
If you really don't mention it, and keep silent to your friends, it's also not a good thing.
Master Qiao felt that half of his brain was about to be tangled up. He was really not good at such things that needed to be considered over and over again. He couldn't help but rubbed his face into shape, "He's a few years younger than me, and he doesn't know what to do at all. have been in touch with those."
"Are there any older ones?" Eunice asked.
She said with some regret, "Hey—"
"What are you doing?" Joe frowned.
"I think of someone, if he is still there, I can ask." Eunice said.
"Who?"
"The former dean of your law school," Eunice said.
Joe was a little shocked: "You still have friendship with him? Why didn't I know?"
"Nonsense, who will I report to you when I see it? Besides, it's not that you don't want to be involved in any family business, you know what a shit!" Eunice said after scolding, "It's not a friendship, because the group I've dealt with some things a few times, but I can be sure that he has nothing to do with the Mansons. And it's only in the past few months that I found out that a case he worked on in his early years was actually related to those things before... "
Joe froze for a moment, "What case?"
"It's early, a medical case," Eunice said.
Medical case
Qiao reacted, he was not a masochist in law school, nor was he a bitter master who had a crush on him for ten years, so he didn't know Yan Suizhi's life history in detail. Most of them were also heard from Gu Yan.
Among the ones he knew, there were still medical cases... Isn't that the old case that made Gu Yan write an analysis report for a month and then scrapped it
He was searching in his mind, and Eunice said again: "Forget it, it's useless to say this, there are no people."
Joe "… "
Hmm... come back to life to understand
Neither Yan Suizhi nor Gu Yan have any perversions, nor are they interested in eavesdropping on other people's family conversations.
Even if Manson is involved, you can wait until you hang up and ask Joe. Therefore, when Eunice's voice fell, both Gu Yan and Yan Suizhi consciously closed their ears.
Their attention this time was more on the picture of DeVore Everth throwing an ashtray.
Because they saw a very interesting ornament in the corner of Devo Everth's desk—
An ornament in the shape of a playing card "grass flower".
"What do you think?" Yan Suizhi touched Gu Yan's finger and asked in a low voice.
Gu Yan glanced at the tips of his fingers, "Well, I'll ask later."
As soon as the two looked up, they found that Young Master Qiao had hung up the communication, and the ear buttons had not been taken off. His faint eyes stared straight at Yan Suizhi, with hesitation, anticipation, entanglement and... counseling. As if pressing something, he stopped talking.
Yan Suizhi: "?"
Attorney Gu: "???"
