In the early morning, the Fawang District was densely foggy, and it was gray everywhere, and the visibility was very low.
When it's time to go to work, there are ghosts and shadows in the gardens in the city, and it is the foggy version of the zombie siege.
Teacher Yan leaned against the sofa, and while waiting for Gu Yan to go upstairs to get his brain, he turned the camera of his smartphone to shoot a horror blockbuster.
Accidentally photographed a tall ghost who came to visit the door.
Yan Suizhi closed the screen, pulled his slippers to open the door, and was startled by the pale face and huge black circles around his eyes.
"Miss Fitz?" Yan Suizhi looked surprised, "What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
"Um... I have a fever." Fitz said with a strong nasal voice, sniffing her nose and rubbing her forehead, "I did something stupid last night, came back too late and was too tired, and fell asleep in the bathtub after taking a bath. I'm here, I woke up this morning looking like a ghost - ahhhhhhh!"
"… again?"
Fitz: "Yeah, again. I've done this kind of stupidity before, but I can wake up in the middle of the night, and this time I'm soaked in the sky - ah sneeze - bright."
Yan Suizhi: "..."
Seeing her crumbling appearance, Yan Suizhi gave her a hand and frowned worriedly, "You better come in and sit and talk."
Fitz waved his hand weakly: "No, I'm just here to ride a ride."
While talking, Gu Yan just came down from the upstairs. At first glance at the looming face in the thick fog outside the door, he almost thought that Yan Suizhi had hit a ghost.
It took two seconds to react, "Fizz?"
Fitz probed weakly and asked: "Gu, are you going to the hospital today to meet the client? Give me a ride by the way. My shuttle car's anti-fog system has not been repaired, and the autopilot will not work, for the safety of most people. For the sake of it, I don’t dare to open it myself.”
Without saying a word, Gu Yan strode out the door, pressed the remote control on the smart phone a few times, and the matte black shuttle stopped directly in front of Fitz's feet, and even opened the door gently.
"My God, the back seat has already been cut into comfortable mode?" Fitz covered his heart and got into the car, "You are so considerate, it will make me unable to find a boyfriend."
"No, the comfort mode is always on, not specially switched." Attorney Gu thoughtfully helped her reduce the difficulty of finding a boyfriend.
"How could it be? When I saw it a few days ago, it was still in normal mode. Don't fool your friends with a fever." Miss Fitz showed her keen observation.
Gu Yan looked at the friend silently for two seconds, pulled the portable medical box under the car seat, pointed and said, "Take medicine."
After that, he closed the door for her.
After all, he was ill, so Fitz stopped chattering when he got in the car, took a cup of hot water, and stayed in the back seat quietly.
Yan Suizhi and Gu Yan were not used to it, they would look at her in the rearview mirror from time to time to make sure that she had not fainted.
"Would you like to seal the front and rear seat compartments?" After the car was running for a while, Fitz slowly remembered, "I'm afraid it will spread to you."
"It's okay." Yan Suizhi said with a smile, "It doesn't matter if it's really contagious. Anyway, I've been in the hospital recently. If I have a fever, I can ask the doctor to give it a shot by raising my hand."
Fitz pooh-pooh, "Don't be a crow's mouth, how uncomfortable it is to burn."
"But speaking of it—are you all staying in the hospital recently? Don't let that client hang out?" Fitz said, "Yesterday, the official sighed, saying that a client with that kind of temper will have to run into someone like you. He knew in a few days that he was in a hurry, so as not to go around in circles with his mouth full."
Gu Yan glanced at the rearview mirror: "You guys still talk about this?"
"Of course, for a case with such a high level of attention, the senior management in the firm, including the partners, are very interested."
Fitz became interested when he talked about chores, and the dark circles under his eyes were not so heavy, "Didn't you leave your client on a business trip a few days ago, the partners and bosses can't sit still, and you asked your affairs officer Adams. Do you have any chance of winning, whether you plan to prepare well, you even caught me and asked once, just because we are neighbors."
"Is that so?" Yan Suizhi said, "Southern Cross is not a small firm. I haven't seen any major cases before, so it shouldn't be like this, right?"
Fitz said: "Isn't the last time the party was killed, it affected the image of the law firm. They probably hoped to use this big case to make a good comeback, so I hope you don't sleep all day and all night, throwing yourself on this case, To show my sincerity. I told them you went to find the evidence, so that they would not worry about it again."
…
Ivy Hospital was quite busy in the early morning.
As soon as Gu Yan entered the door, he received a communication from the guard police officer of Horace Ji.
"It's me." Gu Yan said, "I have something to do here, and the meeting time may be pushed back half an hour—"
"Don't push, don't push!" Fitz was registering with his smartphone, and when he heard the words, he waved to them quickly: "I'm fine with seeing a doctor, you can just do your thing, don't waste time with me."
The other party didn't know what to say, but Gu Yan said "um" and said to Yan Suizhi: "You and Fizz are here, I'll go to Horace's side to see, there is something unexpected."
"what's the situation?"
Gu Yan cut off the communication and said, "I didn't say anything, I just said that I want to cancel the meeting."
This kind of situation is actually not uncommon for their barristers, and they are very experienced in dealing with them, so it is not a big trouble.
Gu Yan said hello and went over first.
Yan Suizhi accompanied Fitz to the clinic.
While the doctor tied a basic sign measuring instrument to her, he asked, "How did it burn?"
Miss Fitz repeated her feat of sleeping in the bathtub.
The doctor frowned, "I just slept all night, and my family didn't know to call you?"
Fitz curled his lips and said, "A bachelor with no family, who can find out?"
"Sorry." The doctor only glanced at Yan Suizhi, probably mistaking him for Fitz's boyfriend.
The doctor coughed awkwardly and said again, "But next time I really can't do this. If you don't say anything else, your skin can't stand it. It's too dangerous for you young people to live alone."
When the old gentleman was worrying about Miss Fitz, Lin Yuan's voice suddenly came from the door: "Where is Yan-Xue? Ruan Ye?"
He's used to calling him "Dean Yan" these days, and he almost bald at the mouth. Fortunately, he recovered in time and turned it into a "blood test".
Fitz looked at him and asked Yan Suizhi, "A doctor you know?"
"Yeah." Yan Suizhi raised his hand to greet Lin Yuan, and explained to Fitz: "The experts that Mr. Gu looked for, some pathological conditions of Horace Ji and the impact of this, all depend on him."
Yan Suizhi came out of the consultation room and took it to the door.
Lin Yuan patted his head and said annoyed: "I haven't slept all night, my mind can't turn around, and I almost called the wrong name."
"It's okay." Yan Suizhi didn't care much. "Sooner or later. Are you over on duty?"
"Yes, Curly has come to take over in the office, I'll go back to sleep for a while." Lin Yuan said, glanced left and right, and whispered while no one in the corridor, "I've been staring at it all night, that gene fragment is harder than I thought. Come on, I can't see any problems from the detailed information analyzed, and about 30% are still being analyzed, but..."
He frowned and took the vaccination in advance, "I'm afraid you will be disappointed when you see the result, and the information that can be extracted is limited."
Yan Suizhi didn't seem to be surprised by this result. He thought for a while, and suddenly asked: "Generally doing genetic experiments... Can the development path be predictable under certain basic circumstances?"
Lin Yuan didn't understand his thoughts for a while, "What do you mean?"
"I've been thinking about a question last night." Yan Suizhi said.
He was thinking that if the surgery he and his parents had undergone had been used as an experiment by the Manson brothers, then the content of the experiment should have been the early results of the Manson brothers.
Their essential purpose is to stimulate "genetic addiction", not death. Therefore, his parents considered the experiment a failure in Manson's eyes.
So what about him who survived
From the surface alone, he has not experienced the so-called "drug dependence" symptoms for so many years, so the test should not be considered a success.
But is the Manson Brothers really going to take a flop after more than 20 years
Yan Suizhi sorted it out all night and thought of a possibility, "The gene fragment in my body is not a successful product, but its importance is no less than that of a successful product, or even higher than it."
"What could this be?" Lin Yuan thought of Yan Suizhi's question just now, and he was very happy, "You mean the foundation?"
Yan Suizhi nodded: "Yes, maybe their follow-up research results and even successful products are based on that fragment. So I want to ask you, if there is a starting point, can you predict the follow-up direction? If there is such a possibility , then I understand why the other party is staring at me like this."
After staying up all night, Lin Yuan's reaction was a little slow, he reacted for two seconds, and finally digested Yan Suizhi's words, waved his hand and said, "It's not feasible, although there is a starting point, but there are too many directions in which the starting point can diverge. No."
Yan Suizhi said, "Not only the starting point, but also the ending point. There are countless directions that can diverge, but the Manson brothers want only one of them."
Lin Yuan was stunned for a while, then suddenly slapped his forehead: "Yes! What they want is a result, so there is an end point! In this case..."
He thought for a while, his face excited: "Yes, yes! That instrument can simulate it! I'll-"
"No rush at this moment." Yan Suizhi patted him on the shoulder, "Go back to sleep first, and then you will have to work hard."
After sending Lin Yuan away, Yan Suizhi returned to the clinic.
Miss Fitz had just received two fever-reducing water bottles, and her face was stretched longer than a donkey.
"Want an infusion?" Yan Suizhi asked.
"Yes." Fitz said, "I asked if there was a way to reduce the fever within an hour, and the doctor stuffed me two bags of this. God knows I'm most afraid of infusions."
"Why should the fever subside within an hour?" Yan Suizhi wondered.
Miss Fitz spoke eloquently: "Because I got to the office before 10 o'clock, my full attendance bonus this month is still saved."
Yan Suizhi: "..."
"And the fever is too slow, so I have to take a day off." Fitz blinked, "Then I have to listen to less gossip, and it's not worth it."
Yan Suizhi: "...the spirit is admirable."
This young lady is known as the information hub of the Southern Cross, and her enthusiasm for miscellaneous news is not something ordinary people can understand.
Yan Suizhi settled Fizz and planned to go to Horace Ji's side to have a look. Unexpectedly, he ran into Gu Yan who was getting out of the elevator just after going out.
"Why did you come back so soon? What's the situation?"
Gu Yan said expressionlessly: "Our client, Mr. Horace Ji, is addicted to molesting nurses. He was stunned that he would not let the other side get acupuncture. He wanted to play the game of you chasing me. It is said that the nurse cried with anger and ran away from the police officer. Now the police station has determined that he deliberately delayed the treatment time, and before notifying me, he went to the prosecutor's office and the court to submit an application, and in all likelihood, the court will be held in advance, and the specific time will be notified."
Yan Suizhi laughed angrily: "...What kind of bad medicine did he take so he can't get along with him?"
