Joe's steps upstairs stopped immediately, standing on the platform between the first and second floors, looking up at his father.
The father and son have faced each other for many years, and they are about to form a conditioned reflex.
One is habitually holding the face of the coffin, and the other is habitually holding his neck.
The atmosphere became tense in an instant, needle-pointed Maimang.
This kind of tit-for-tat atmosphere is commonplace for a group of barristers, each of whom is calm, but suffers from the two assistants who lead the way.
They stayed in the villa to deal with some trivial affairs. Unexpectedly, they encountered a father-son cockfight. They immediately folded their stomachs and took a piece of paper and stuck it on the handrail of the stairs, trying to reduce their sense of existence.
"Old what?" Devore Everth pressed his knuckles against the goggles and looked at Joe condescendingly. "Go on, I'll listen."
He had already changed out of the athleisure clothes he showed to the media, wearing a tailored shirt and trousers,
Although father and son, Mr. Everth and Joe were the exact opposite.
The face of the young master is covered with big-character posters all year round, and all his emotions are displayed on his forehead like scrolling a screen, whether he is happy or unhappy, likes or dislikes, bored or uneasy, you don't have to guess, you can tell at a glance.
But when Mr. Evers looked at them quietly with his gray-blue eyes, no one knew what he was thinking, what he planned to do, and whether he would welcome their presence or not.
"As I said, this idiot didn't come to anger you today." He heard his voice before anyone saw him.
Eunice turned from the corridor on the left on the second floor, obviously pulling the plush slippers, but he stepped on the aura of hating the sky.
But when she got close to Devo Eves, her aura was quickly withdrawn, she made a color at Joe and them across the stairs, and mouthed, "I gave you a head start."
It was rare to see such an honest Eunice, but it made Joe even more tense.
Headshot
what's the result
Good or bad
But at this time, he couldn't control too much, everyone came, so he wouldn't just turn around and leave. He took Eunice's eyes and said to Evis: "I won't quarrel today, I'll ask you something seriously."
Mr. Ives nodded, and it was impossible to tell from his expression what he thought of the sentence.
He straightened his cuffs and didn't answer Joe. Instead, he said to one of the assistants, "Put away anything that can move on the terrace first."
The assistant was stunned: "Huh?"
Eveth said indifferently: "So as not to be all broken in a while."
assistant:"… "
Joe: "… "
Eveth then looked at him, "If I remember correctly, the last time you said that, I lost two crystal pen holders, and the last time it was an ashtray."
Joe: "… "
Just when he thought that the old fox was going to take advantage of the question, Eves had already turned sideways.
This is what it means to get them upstairs.
Qiao's just opened mouth closed again and rubbed upstairs.
Devo Eves directly skipped Joe, said hello to Laura, patted Gu Yan on the shoulder again, his eyes fell on Yan Suizhi, and asked, "Who is this young talent?"
Eunice still doesn't know Yan Suizhi's identity.
Judging from the current situation, it seems that Devo Eves doesn't know either, but the old fox's mind is really hard to guess, whether it is true or not.
Gu Yan thought about it a little, and said, "You can treat him as my intern for the time being, surnamed Ruan."
Devo Eves showed a stunned expression, nodded, and extended his hand to Yan Suizhi in a gentlemanly manner: "I heard something, I heard Eunice mentioned the Lyra Star's court debate. Many people are against you very interested."
Taking advantage of the old fox not paying attention to himself, Joe frowned and asked Eunice in a low voice, "How much did you tell him? How did he react? Is there any drama?"
Eunice glanced at her father and waved at her silly brother.
"What do you mean by waving?" Joe said. "No play? Still no problem?"
"I don't know." Eunice whispered. "There was no response, so I nodded and said nothing."
As soon as she finished speaking, she silently shut up. Because Eveth had already turned around and headed out to the terrace, the others followed him one after another.
There is a set of guest sofas on the terrace of the villa, and there is a cup of coffee and an afternoon tea on the coffee table. I want to know who used it.
It can be seen that Eves really doesn't care that much about the Manson family virus treatment center. At first glance, he looks like a very tolerant elder.
The assistant took those things away in a hurry, and closed the glass door for them very wisely.
Eves sat down on the sofa and made a gesture: "Sit freely."
This was a treatment that Joe had never received when he came alone, and the young master had some hope because of this. He winked from Eunice and said as soon as he sat down: "I won't go around in circles, just—"
Devo Evers raised his hand and paused, saying, "Give me a reason to make time to listen to you first."
Joe: "… "
The young master stared at Eunice with a look of "You see, this time it wasn't me who did it, it was him".
Eunice silently covered her forehead.
Qiao took a deep breath and pointed to the distance, "Half the reporters from the league are waiting outside the door to catch you, will you send them to the door and let them surround you? Do you have the patience to answer the reporter's questions after all the scenes you should be doing? "
He pointed to a certain room in the villa, "The brain in your office must still be on, right? There are endless video conferences and all kinds of idiots look like the sky is falling and ask you what to do, if you are interested. take care of them?"
"I can't get out of the door, I don't want to enter the office, and the afternoon tea is out. You're already idle now, so why don't you have time to listen to us?" Master Qiao said the last sentence without fear of death.
While Eunice covered her face, she reached out to hook the ashtray on the coffee table and moved quietly in front of her.
Devore Everth glanced at her, holding down the ashtray, as if to pick it up.
At that moment, Master Qiao covered his face with his elbow almost reflexively.
Everyone: "… "
But Eves just picked up the ashtray and put it back in place.
There was a sound between the glass and the marble, and Joe was stunned for a moment, then lowered his elbow and looked at Eveth.
"This reason is barely acceptable." Eves said, glanced at Joe, and said, "Finally, there is no hope that there is no hope."
Joe seemed to be listening to the Arabian Nights, and he thought he was going to be kicked out of the villa after he finished speaking.
but…
He glanced at Gu Yan and the others, pressed his lips to his mouth and said, "Good omen."
Gu Yan didn't say a word about this, just raised his eyebrows, Yan Suizhi gave him an encouraging smile. As for Laura, Laura was completely on the same front as him and made a fist directly at him.
Young Master Qiao was suddenly full of confidence.
"I don't know how much Eunice told you in detail, I'll just follow my logic." Joe Mo rubbed his palm and picked a beginning, "We came across a few old case materials before—"
Even if he was given a hundred courage, he would not dare to say that he deliberately investigated.
More importantly, today's old fox is rarely a little human, and he also has the heart of dispelling misunderstandings and does not want to ruin his emotions at the beginning.
So after he finished speaking, he emphasized again: "Because of some kind of coincidence, I came into contact with it."
Devore Eves snorted and exposed it without mercy: "I found it with great effort, continue."
Joe: "… "
"It happened to be investigated." Qiao struggled for a while, then added: "Those cases spanned nearly thirty years, involving all kinds of people, businessmen, professors, doctors, etc., and their deaths were all identified at the beginning. It's normal, but now, decades later, it's full of coincidences and problems when linked together. We found a person who runs through the... The Mori family is inextricably linked."
Devore Everth listened quietly, not knowing whether he was surprised, surprised, or if he knew all about it.
Joe glanced at him, licked his lips and said: "Those people have appeared at the Manson family party more or less, but they are not only related to the Manson family. We... I once thought that it was our family, It has something to do with you too."
Devore Everth raised his eyebrows slightly, but that was his most obvious reaction. And his eyes were downcast, still people couldn't tell what emotion his reaction represented.
"I asked a lot of people, and I checked a lot of things along this line, and they were all piecemeal. More and more things were involved, including medicine mines and infections... Recently, the Manson family has begun to enter the medical field. There's a problem, and now it's even involving Ke Jin. The more stuff there is, the more headaches it gets." Joe said, "Honestly, we've collected a big bag of puzzle pieces right now, and we've put together a lot of parts, but we're missing the core, so there's no such thing as a The law fits together completely."
He finished, looking up at DeVore Everth, "But now we've got a key guy who should know what we're missing..."
As Joe spoke, he turned on the smartphone, pulled out a lot of things from it, unfolded them all, and lined up one by one in front of Devore Evers—
"The letter of thanks from the wine city government."
"Receipt letter."
"News coverage of wine city infrastructure improvements."
"Internal Documents of Grant Misuse."
"The wine city government personnel clean up the documents."
"Notice Letter of Consortium Cessation of Grants."
"There is also a message sent to us by the old dean of the orphanage. He said that the reform and clean-up of the wine city, including Decama, were the result of a consortium."
"This is the signature of the two consortium partners."
Joe paused and pushed the last data result to Devo Evers: "This is the handwriting comparison result. You and one of the consortiums have close to 100% handwriting similarity."
This time Devore Everth was finally not unresponsive.
He lowered his eyes, swept the electronic documents one by one, and finally landed on the document signed with two names, and never said a word.
Joe did not urge, and waited for him with bated breath.
After a century and a half, DeVore Everth finally looked back and looked at Joe: "So what?"
"What..." Qiao was stunned. He didn't expect the old fox to react like this, and was a little caught off guard. "What's the reason? So we want to know the whole story."
Devo Evers looked away from Qiao, swept over Ke Jin, Gu Yan, and Laura one by one, and finally landed on Yan Suizhi, then took it back lightly, "Just for this, you dragged a group of people. Serious children help you strengthen your courage?"
Joe: "???"
Devore Evers slid back and forth with his finger on the holographic page in front of him, as if toying with: "What good will it do for me to tell you the truth? Or, how will it help this thing? You I almost know what I found, I have all the information you have, you can't fill in any new things, but I have to share with you, and I have to worry about it all the time so that you don't miss out. You tell me Come on, why should I tell you? Give me a reason worth telling."
Yeah, how could a businessman do such an apparently unbalanced business
It's not an old fox anymore.
Joe's reason told him so... but his face was still red, from his neck to his cheeks.
angry.
He didn't even know why he was angry, but this stagnant feeling still involved him.
By the time he reacted from the surging suffocation, he had already stood up, holding the glass door of the terrace with one hand, as if he was about to slam the door out.
Eunice winked at him and said in a rounded tone, "Go to my place and have some afternoon tea first. I'll come over without a bite. I'll talk about the rest later."
She pushed Joe's shoulders as she spoke, probably for fear that they would pinch them on the patio.
Laura and Ke Jin also stood up and followed to go out the door.
Behind them, DeVore Everth was still sitting, seemingly enjoying the breeze on the patio.
Surprisingly, opposite him, there were also two people who did not get up and sat as peacefully as a mountain.
Devore Evers leaned on the sofa, looked at each other for a while, and asked calmly, "They're all gone, why don't you go?"
The few people who were about to open the door also stopped when they heard the words, and turned their heads to look over.
Yan Suizhi smiled calmly at him. As an intern, he was not in a hurry to speak.
Moreover, there is a Mr. Gu who can always help him speak out at the right time.
Devo Evers' eyes fell on Gu Yan.
Gu Yan said calmly: "Because you want my intern to stay, we are naturally disrespectful."
"Oh? When did I say that?"
"Obvious, so it doesn't need to be said."
Devore Everth's gray-blue eyes narrowed meaningfully behind the lenses. After a long time, he suddenly laughed and said to them, "Go to my office."
