In fact, after asking this question, Master Qiao was still a little nervous.
He carefully observed Gu Yan's subtle expressions and reactions, and when he waited for the other person to answer, he looked like a big golden retriever with a wronged face.
Gu Yan was stared blankly by him: "...Did you eat the wrong thing for dinner?"
"No! No." Master Qiao was a little helpless and innocent, "I'm not worried that you won't be willing to bring up that old case."
Gu Yan was stunned for a moment: "No, you think too much."
"Wow—you've turned over an old account and won't admit it, barrister?" Joe's expression was contrived and exaggerated, but his voice was not very high, at least the two people on the sofa at the back wouldn't hear, "Who was it because of that old one? The case is in a bad mood, whoever is caught and who, wishing that the 800-meter radius would be marked as a no-man’s land?”
This is ridiculously exaggerated.
But this is Young Master Qiao's speaking habit, and Gu Yan has long since gotten used to it. He thought about it for a while, and said calmly, "It's the same when I'm in a good mood. Besides, how did you survive the 800-meter no-man's land?"
Joe: "I'm different, I'm loved by everyone."
Gu Yan seemed to have seen a ghost.
After Master Qiao finished saying this, he turned his head and vomited silently, "Forget it, don't disgust you anymore, you hurt one thousand enemies and yourself eight hundred. I'm not too disgusted. But to be honest, if it weren't for you I'm in this state with the dean, and I won't bring this case up in front of you—"
This is the cuteness of Young Master Qiao as a friend. Although he sometimes takes the risk of being stupid because he is heartless, he is always very considerate as long as it is something he notices.
Other than that, this is still very touching.
Attorney Gu thought to himself.
But just after he finished thinking about it, Qiao continued to beep again: "—so as not to remind you of the sad and bleak past in love. Speaking of this, I am more curious than the case, how did you achieve a positive result? Take the initiative, two will not chase people, three will not speak sweet words and be obedient, and maybe occasionally get angry twice."
When Master Qiao said that, he turned his head and met Gu Yan's frozen face.
"Look at me? Did I say something wrong?"
Gu Yan: "..."
no.
Can't refute.
If you have to be picky...
"The last sentence is not quite accurate."
"Why isn't it accurate?"
"He's mad at me even more."
At this time, the lawyer Gu was very different from the court, at least this sentence was not so cold and powerful. Not so confident, and a little helpless.
Qiao Momo wiped his mouth and patted the dog food away.
He raised his chin, squinted at Gu Yan, and asked proudly: "To be honest, I doubt that you won't confess. Did I say I love you? No? When I saw your indifferent expression, I knew that it definitely didn't. , so how did you succeed? Is it purely based on ideas?"
Gu Yan: "..."
"You can't do this," Joe said. "Do you know that it is easy to attack a city and difficult to defend? What is your expression? What do you mean by looking at me like that?"
Gu Yan retracted his gaze from him, and his indifferent gaze slid past him, "It's nothing, I'm just wondering why you're still single when you say that."
Joe pierced his heart with an arrow and vomited a mouthful of blood.
"We... don't talk about this anymore," Joe said. "Then can you still find the analysis report back then? Would you like to give me a copy now? I'll study it first?"
Gu Yan shook his head: "Didn't you see it when I deleted it?"
"Then... I'll ask him?" Joe turned his head cautiously and took out his smartphone again, "Wait, I'll buy an insurance first."
Gu Yan: "..."
He was silent for a while, "Don't ask him."
"He's repulsive about that case?"
"No." Gu Yan said, "It's not. Some time ago, someone on the Internet always turned up the medical case and said a few words. He should have seen it and didn't have a special reaction. But... "
"but what?"
Gu Yan didn't speak. To be precise, he didn't know how to describe it.
When the old case was brought up from time to time on the Internet, Yan Suizhi's expression was always very ordinary, and his eyes flashed past. Occasional trance, but not for long.
As if reminded by someone, recalling an ordinary thing. The discussions back then seemed to have long since passed, and nothing left in his heart.
But there are two things that seem odd in retrospect.
One is that Yan Suizhi seems to prefer to read the old remarks that scolded him. When an old case is found on the Internet, of course, it is impossible to just mention it lightly, and it will always spread. Ordinary remarks are unnecessary, and positive compliments have been used in Yan Suizhi in recent years, which is not unusual. Therefore, when some websites bring up the case, they will add two negative comments of the year.
When Yan Suizhi looked at those, he would stop for a while and look more seriously. And after reading it, he will show a subtle sense of relaxation for a few seconds.
Second, he did not mention the case himself. Even when Gu Yan talked to him about the inconsistency of his ideas back then, and when he talked about old things related to that case, he didn't take the initiative to bring up that case.
He's talked about "ideas," about "a birthday party," about "lectures," and "issues of original intentions," but only skips the old case that caused them.
Not even a pronoun like "that case" came out of his mouth.
At that time, his avoidance was too natural, as if the topic naturally jumped to the back, so that it was difficult to determine whether he was intentional or unintentional.
Nothing if it's unintentional.
What if it was intentional
"Hey—forget it, I'll talk to my sister again." Qiao was a little cowardly on this matter. Before Gu Yanduo could say anything, he backed away and gave Eunice his finger quickly. information.
Soon, Eunice's reply came:
- I knew you couldn't do anything, but it was normal, after all, Gu was still young at the time.
Qiao's mouth was as tight as he promised, even her own sister didn't know anything about Yan Suizhi's "resurrection", so Eunice always thought he was tossing Gu Yan.
She soon came up with another one:
-I asked a few media friends in the afternoon, and they promised me to reply in the evening, maybe I will get something useful later. I don't expect you to do anything else, just help me pray for something useful.
Master Qiao felt that he had become his sister's mascot: "..."
Ten minutes later, Joe's smartphone vibrated.
Eunice dialed the communication directly.
"What's wrong?" Joe asked subconsciously.
"What's the matter, there is an echo!" Eunice said angrily.
"My God, your media friends are terribly efficient, do they live in an online database?"
"Fuck! Stop talking nonsense." Eunice said, "They sent me a bag, and I'll give you a copy later. You unpack the bag and look at it first. If you can, it's best to ask Gu to help. Their lawyers always see things from a different angle than ours, so maybe they can see something."
Joe: "What do you expect to see?"
Eunice said: "I expect him to be sharp-eyed, and immediately see that the old man has a clear line with those lunatics, and did nothing that shouldn't be done. But is it possible? How can this be clear in a while? , In short, let him see it, it doesn't matter if you don't see it. We have both spent so many years, not to mention him. "
Eunice said, the so-called information package has been sent.
Joe's eyes hurt when he saw the size of the bag, "My God, how much did you get? What are they? Did you pack the nearly 40 years of the Alliance's files?"
Eunice: "...you talk a lot! You said that you are friends from the media, and most of the things you are looking for are related to their line of work. The dossier is still in contact, and it depends on luck whether you can find the most comprehensive one. After all, it was too many years ago. ."
"Okay, okay, yes ma'am," Joe said, taking the bag respectfully and hanging up Eunice's correspondence.
"Media related..." Joe mumbled, "Wouldn't it be to dig out all the news reports about that case that the league could find? Could you help me share a bit?"
He looked at Gu Yan pitifully: "How is it?"
Gu Yan: "After you've solved it, send it over."
Qiao smiled brightly: "Hey, I know you are the most interesting! Give you half a bag!"
Gu Yan: "No, give me a whole copy."
Joe: "???"
He was stunned for a moment before he understood again. He shook his head and said, "I suddenly felt that it was fortunate that your mouth was sawed, otherwise I don't know how many people would have been planted in your hands."
Joe was not idle. While unpacking the huge information package, he randomly selected a few from the unpacked and looked at the contents.
"Sure enough, there are a lot of reports." Qiao said, "Ah... There are also some drafts that were originally planned but could not be published."
As he spoke, he showed Gu Yan a few on the screen in his hand.
Four or five pages were lined up in a row, and Joe kept opening new ones, and the number of side-by-side pages kept growing.
Gu Yan glanced at it, this is different from the ones mentioned by Shao Shao Weng An Shun's mouth, this is the original report of the year. When he wrote analytical reports in college, he read more than a hundred such reports.
The page passed silently, and the keywords rushed into his eyes like a tide. It was obviously ten years later, and when he saw it again, he could still subconsciously remember what the next sentence was.
Even I can still remember the mood at that time, but it is a little different.
It wasn't until a few pages of unfamiliar and never-before-seen stories appeared in these familiar reports that Gu Yan recovered.
"What is this?" He reached out and held down a page.
Joe flipped through the information in the document, "Ah, a report that was originally published and then deleted."
"Delete?" Gu Yan, "Did you say the reason?"
Qiao Nian remarked: "The reason at that time was that the heat of the case had already passed, and there was other content to be posted, and the person in charge took it down."
He said, put away the notes and added: "Small website, it's normal. The reporter who wrote this report was probably quite depressed. My sister's friends from the media often reminisce about this kind of past."
That report was not about the medical case that Yan Suizhi received. Looking at the time in the lower right corner, it should be half a year later. The defendant is still the same, but the case has been changed, involving more charges and more comprehensive evidence.
This time, there were no loopholes, and the defendant was convicted in court, which was very pleasing.
The focus of this report is a photo.
The photo was taken in the auditorium of the court trial, and there was a young man sitting in the last row.
His straight eyes fell on the dock, and his long, thick eyelashes cast a shadow under his eyes.
Maybe it was because most of the onlookers sat in the front row, and there was no other figure in the last row... He looked quiet and lonely.
The report said that after half a year, Yan Suizhi quietly came to watch a trial that had nothing to do with him. After seeing the defendant being sentenced, he sat quietly for a long time, and then left alone before the crowd ended.
Perhaps the young, up-and-coming lawyer, the report said, may not be what some believe he is, and perhaps he also wants to see justice finally done.
Gu Yan's eyes stayed on that photo for a long time.
At the beginning of the report, it was written that the trial was on January 24, which was the real birthday engraved on Yan Suizhi's tombstone.
The report ends with the reporter's byline—Jim Bench.
