First-Class Lawyer

Chapter 49: peeling (3)

Views:

The next afternoon, close to the evening, Sheriff Kane returned to the villa area and brought one and a half of good news to everyone.

"The good news is—" Kane's eyes swept across the faces of the ladies and gentlemen who were standing or sitting, "our lawyer Jason Charles successfully escaped the dangerous period, opened his eyes an hour ago, and was sober. It lasted for 20 minutes and answered some questions for us by bending and shaking our fingers. The doctor said that thanks to his chubby body, the pressure of the ascent has been cushioned to a certain extent…”

Speaking of this, Sheriff Kane couldn't help but curl his lips, "Of course, such an accident is also related to his body shape, so I hope everyone here will exercise diligently and maintain a healthy body. If you are really overweight, don't be obsessed with it. Sports like diving. Promise me, make yourself a little safer and let's make fewer police calls, okay?"

Everyone in the living room laughed, and the gloomy atmosphere that shrouded the island day and night finally dissipated.

"I just said good people like Jason will live a long life." Laura and the others were obviously relieved and much happier.

Yan Suizhi felt a little relieved, but not everyone was relieved.

His eyes swept over everyone calmly, and found that at least two people looked different from the others, seemed to be troubled by other things, or just simply lost their minds.

One is George Manson, who has been depressed for a day and a night. When he opened the door today, he accidentally brought down a wine bottle, so that the aftertaste of spirits still lingers on his trousers.

The other was Chen Zhang, the coach who was in charge of them at the time. He was of average stature and average appearance, and the clothes he wore in private were always gray. But at this time, his presence became a bit higher. Because when everyone else was rejoicing, for some reason, he seemed a little absent-minded, and his left foot had been habitually shaking at a certain frequency. Many people would behave like this when they were distracted or uneasy.

His movements were small, and he quickly stopped when he realized it. Maybe except for Yan Suizhi, not many people noticed.

However, everyone's performance is always complicated. Maybe looking at innocent people today will look suspicious tomorrow. It's hard to say whether the other party's psychology has changed, or the psychology of the observer has changed. Yan Suizhi has worked as a lawyer for so many years and knows this.

Rather than speculating that the other party is suspicious from subtle performance, he prefers no evidence and no facts.

After all, the presumption of innocence is the last norm for lawyers to shake.

So he watched for a while, then calmly retracted his gaze and listened to Sheriff Kane's spitting account of the second thing: "The other half of the good news is based on some information given by lawyer Jason Charles, combined with our The conversation between you, and the results of the on-site investigation... Most of the gentlemen and ladies here have been cleared of suspicion."

"Then why is it half good news?"

"Because we hope to draw a conclusion that is rigorous and without loopholes, there are a few friends who are deeply involved in the incident and need to wait patiently for another day." Sheriff Kane explained, "We need a second test, if If we can confirm that today's results are correct, then this incident is really an accident, it's just that we got the wrong set when we were wearing diving suits."

Generally speaking, the results of a test can basically be qualitative. The second test was just something Kane, as an honest and honest person, did extra. Most of the people present were well aware that there should be no deviation in the conclusion. In other words... this time, it was basically an accident.

In this way, everyone's faces were really relaxed.

As the sky darkened, Yan Suizhi and Gu Yan greeted Qiao. The two of them had already cleared their suspicions and planned to go first.

"Okay, I know you have so many things in your hands that you are about to pop out." Qiao had long been used to Gu Yan's rush, and understood very well, "I wanted you to relax your mind, but I didn't expect it to be such a disappointment this time. ."

"This is out of your control." Gu Yan said, "I'll make up a party for you next time."

"Ouch!" Qiao was delighted, and licked his ears, "Do you say it again?"

"I said, I'll make up a party for you next time."

Young Master Qiao shook his smartphone, shook his head and snarled, "I learned from you group of litigants, I recorded it, whoever doesn't make up is the grandson!"

Gu Yan looked at him calmly.

Qiao: "Equal generation, all grandfathers, all grandfathers."

Yan Suizhi: "..." It's really amazing that some young people are cowardly.

"By the way, you asked me to help you last night—" Qiao said halfway through, and found that Gu Yan's expression suddenly became a little weird, "What's wrong with your face? If you say green, it's green?"

Yan Suizhi turned to look over.

Gu Yan had already pressed his eyebrows and returned to normal, "Let's talk about what happened yesterday."

He didn't seem like he was going to say it again, if possible, he seemed to want to selectively forget what he said yesterday and force Joe to forget it too.

However, Master Qiao is a stick, and his ability to analyze emotions is probably only perfect for Ke Jin, and he is zero at other times. He waved his hand and said, "No, I just want to say that I have arranged for people to do those two things. Is the efficiency very high?"

Gu Yan's face was paralyzed, and he nodded after a while, "Okay, thank you."

"There's nothing to be thankful for, it's just a trivial matter." Qiao laughed. "The others will stay here for a few more days, so I won't send you off specially. Anyway, there's no need to be so polite to you."

When the two left the main villa, they took the garden path on the west side, and they would pass the window sill of the bedroom on the west half of the first floor of the main villa.

Yan Suizhi fell behind Gu Yan and didn't take a few steps when he caught a glimpse of a figure out of the corner of his eye. Turning his head, he saw the sliding glass window of one of the bedrooms was wide open. George Manson was sitting by the windowsill, with one leg bent, holding a glass loosely in his hand, with amber liquor in it. rock.

He looked a little drunk, his eyes were half-open, his face was tired, and he didn't seem to have been able to rest well. He looked at Yan Suizhi across a low flower and grass and a distance of five or six meters.

Seeing Yan Suizhi turn around, he raised his glass politely, "Are you going?"

The tongue is a little big, Yan Suizhi said that this young master didn't drink it all day and night, right

But out of courtesy, he still smiled and replied, "Yes."

Gu Yan, who was walking in front, heard the conversation, stopped and turned his head to look over. He listened to the silhouette of Yan Suizhi for a moment, and then looked at George Manson.

It stands to reason that George Manson is better than Yan Sui, who is an intern, but the young master doesn't seem to see him, only Yan Suizhi is blocked by the flowers.

"Drink together next time." George Manson invited Yan Suizhi.

Apparently he was really drunk, so he sent an invitation casually regardless of whether he knew him or not.

Yan Suizhi still kept a faint smile, nodded to deal with the drunk: "Okay, there is a chance."

As soon as he finished speaking, he found that Gu Yan took two steps here.

"Not too drunk." Yan Suizhi shrugged at him and whispered.

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the drunk young master say something nonsense again, "You have very white skin."

Yan Suizhi: "..."

Gu Yan: "..."

Professor Yan Da had not heard such a direct and reckless evaluation for many years. He looked at George Manson, but saw that the young master was staring at his hand.

Yan Suizhi moved his fingers and replied with a bit of tears and laughter: "Thank you... eh? What are you doing here?"

When he was dealing with the drunk, Gu Yan returned the same way for some unknown reason.

Might want to see what else Master Manson can say.

However, the young master couldn't continue his performance, because he stared at Yan Suizhi's hand for too long, his center of gravity was a little unbalanced, he tilted forward and sideways, and almost fell out of the window sill. The wine in the glass was poured out in a hurry, and there was no time to talk nonsense.

"Let's go, don't tease the drunk." Yan Suizhi urged.

The two then stepped out of the villa area again.

On the way back, Qiao sent Gu Yan a few more voice messages, still talking about helping, but Gu Yan's face was always paralyzed.

Professor Yan Da had no interest at all, but he was also aroused by rare curiosity, and asked with a smile: "What did you ask him to help? It's like a funeral on the way?"

This person is amusing with nonsense, and his words are always exaggerated. Gu Yan selectively ignores half of it, "It's nothing."

"Perfunctory." Yan Suizhi raised an eyebrow, "You are so secretive, it's easy for people to doubt your motives."

"'You can have a keen sense of smell, but you can't arbitrarily pin someone on the suspect stand', what you said before will be returned to you as is." Gu Yan said.

I hope a dean can be a little self-conscious about leading by example.

It's a pity that the dean didn't: "Oh? I said this?"

Gu Yan: "..."

When the two boarded the shuttle back to Decama, it was already night on Yaba Island.

The biggest selling point of the night scene on the island is the lamp pine forest, so in order to highlight those fireflies, the lights outside the house are very limited, even in the villa area, there is no bright street light, only at every turning point of the garden path, with warm yellow lights floor lamp.

The lighting range of the floor lamp is very limited, and only the outline of the trail can be seen.

George Manson sat drunkenly in the dark for a while, and staggered into the room with a bottle and glass, leaving only the night breeze flowing in quietly through the open sliding window.

In the living room of the main villa, in order to celebrate the safe awakening of lawyer Jason Charles, and to celebrate everyone's dismissal of suspicion and false alarm, a group of young masters who were keen to play had a dance party.

"Where's Manson?" someone asked in the sound of wine glasses colliding.

Qiao shook his head, "I called him just now, but I couldn't say what I said. I just couldn't say that I wanted to take a bath, and said I had to find a way to sleep for a while."

He said and pointed in the direction of the corridor, "I asked him to open the door, and he would scream if he fell."

Others looked at it and saw that George Manson's door was half open, but it was dark inside. Obviously, the lights were not turned on outside. The young master was probably taking a bath inside. The security guard and the waiter are standing outside the door one by one, so if there is any movement from the drunk young master, they can also take care of him in time.

With Glenn there, a group of people made a lot of noise. Later, even Zhao Zemu and coach Chen Zhang, who had not fully recovered and needed a rest, came to the living room and found a corner of the sofa to sit down. Joe asked them to bring them a few glasses of fresh juice, but did not let them touch the wine.

Laura found a stand, put the motion camera on it, and said she wanted to take pictures of these lunatics.

When the shuttle was leaving Tianqin Star, Gu Yan received a short video from Laura, showing a panorama of a group of demons dancing wildly, but the camera finally landed on Ke Jin, who was sitting in the corner of a group of old classmates. , The dark eyes looked at the friends who were intertwined with each other quietly, took two sips of juice, and seemed to be in good condition.

It's the same nonsense. The atmosphere in their area is subtly different from the atmosphere of the group of young masters. This side is more peaceful, and the young masters are more crazy.

And Joe, who was supposed to hang out with the young masters, sat next to Ke Jin with his long legs bent and said something to Elena and the others. Everyone suddenly burst into laughter, only Ke Jin remained quiet. Sitting on the ground, but his eyes rolled slowly, and his eyes fell on Joe.

"Ke Jin's condition seems to be getting better again." Laura's additional voice was like this.

Gu Yan was too lazy to watch the group of demons dance, and quickly pulled the video to the end. After watching it, he simply took the smartphone off his little finger, "Hand."

"What?" Yan Suizhi was stunned for a moment, but still subconsciously spread a palm towards him.

When the ring landed in his palm, it still carried the temperature of Gu Yan's fingers.

"What? You want to pay me tribute to the smart phone?" Yan Suizhi joked.

"Video." Gu Yan added, he stretched out his hand to re-tune the video, and said lightly, "I think you might want to watch it."

However, what lawyer Gu didn't take into account was that he was so succinct that Yan Suizhi didn't know which part of the video he focused on.

Anyway, there was nothing wrong with the shuttle, so Yan Suizhi simply watched the one hour and five minute video and watched it carefully. It was not until Ke Jin came out at the end that he vaguely understood Gu Yan's intention, and suddenly laughed a little.

"It's over, you—" He said halfway through, then turned around to find that Gu Yan had fallen asleep.

And the message from Fitz just popped up on the screen of the smartphone:

- Have you read all the new case materials sent to you last night? The court has contacted you, but it can only be pushed to noon tomorrow at the latest, which means you have to go after the shuttle, and I will pick you up at the port tomorrow.

This is the court Gu Yan originally planned to appear the day before yesterday. Because the matter on Yaba Island was delayed for two days, he had to settle the case.

Looking at the content of this information, I knew that Gu Yan must have been buried in the case again last night and didn't sleep much. At this moment, it was difficult to buffer him on the shuttle, and of course Yan Suizhi wouldn't wake him up.

He fiddled with the ring smartphone in his hand, trying to gently put it on his little finger without waking up Gu Yan.

After three failed attempts, Yan Suizhi simply gave up and took it into his own hands for the time being.

During the whole journey back, Gu Yan's smartphone vibrated several times, but when it returned to the standby state, the information content would not pop up again, and Yan Suizhi could not rashly check other people's information, so he just let them go.

More than ten hours of flying shuttle is actually very tiring. When landing, people are a little lazy and don't like to talk.

The two came out of the verification port one after the other, and as soon as they opened their eyes, they saw Miss Fitz standing in the most conspicuous place at the pick-up station and waving to them.

"Gu, Ruan." Miss Fitz said like a bean, "the intern in the institute is going to have a meeting, Ruan will go back to my car after a while. Gu arranged a car for you, and the foreign affairs assistant brought other things. Wait for you in the car and go straight to court."

"Okay." Gu Yan nodded.

Miss Fitz has always been hot and hot. After meeting with Gu Yan, she was about to drag Yan Suizhi to the parking lot, but as soon as she turned around, she saw Gu Yan grab Yan Suizhi's wrist, "Wait a minute."

Miss Fitz has only seen Lawyer Gu call someone to wait for a while, but she has never seen such a direct approach.

"What's wrong?" Fitz asked.

Seeing Gu Yan open his hands to Yan Suizhi, "My smartphone."

At that moment, Fitz's sleepiness from waking up early in the morning vanished, and his spirits came up all of a sudden.

Immediately after, she saw the young intern smiled lightly and said, "I almost forgot." After speaking, he took off a smartphone from his little finger and put it in Gu Yan's hand.

Fitz: "Um..."

She thought that maybe the way she got up this morning was wrong, otherwise how could Gu Yan's smartphone be on the intern's finger

Is there anything more personal than a smartphone?

"By the way, there are a few new pieces of information, please remember to read them." Yan Suizhi reminded.

Gu Yan gave a "hmm" and put the ring back on.

"Maybe I sent it to you before, just to let you know that I have arrived at the port." Fitz mentioned.

"Okay, I'll go first." Gu Yan raised his hand, turned around and strode toward the car arranged by Fitz, and quickly disappeared at the exit.

Yan Suizhi watched him walk away, and as soon as she turned around, she found that Miss Fitz was blinking at him, the gossip on her face was about to explode.

However, Professor Yan Da is not an honest and kind person. He smiled slightly and said to Fitz in a gentle manner: "What's wrong? You don't look very well. Do you need to go to the bathroom? I'll wait for you here."

"… "

Fitz vomited blood silently.

Gu Yan's trial lasted a little longer, spanning a lunch, and the trial continued for more than three hours after the meal.

Those pieces of information lay in Gu Yan's smartphone for a few more hours, so that until he returned to the law firm that night, Gu Yan learned from the information and other channels that the night after they left, on the island of Yaba Something still happened.
