It can be seen that Chen Zhang was extremely concerned about what happened at the beginning. Otherwise, he wouldn't take the bait just by mentioning it, and he would honestly change his attitude and come to the meeting room.
He widened his eyes and looked at Yan Suizhi with bated breath, waiting for him to speak.
As a result, Yan Suizhi leaned on the back of the chair and gave him two words slowly, "Guess."
"… "
Chen Zhang almost didn't come up in one breath.
"This is actually a very unnecessary question." Yan Suizhi said, "If I were you, I would definitely not waste my limited time on such an obvious answer."
Chen Zhang was taken aback.
Indeed, how else would you know? The trainee lawyer was young, so if he wanted to know about it, he must have heard it from other people. Who would that be...
His attention subconsciously focused on the sentence passed on by the discipline, from 31 to 47 years was a frequent visitor to Champagne... This sentence is not the lawyer himself, it must be the person who told it. Did the Champagne Club have regulars for more than ten years
Chen Zhang recalled that he still had a little impression on the guest list of Champagne back then.
Of course, he did not remember so many names on the list, but remembered some characteristics - among the guests of Champagne, there are fewer one-time tourists of tourism nature, because the Champagne club is not large and the price is high, which is not suitable for beach tourists. It's not a good choice. There are obviously more and more popular large clubs, so why spend that money.
But champagne clubs are especially popular with rich kids. However, most people come to vacation once in a while to release the pressure. Those who go frequently and persist for many years are often two kinds of people—
One is about 70-90 years old, in the late prime of life, they take this diving exercise as a normal exercise, and it seems that they punch in at regular and fixed points. The other is the rich young men in their teens and twenties. Before and after they became adults, they had a lot of time and liked to look for excitement.
But no matter which one it is, there is one thing in common, the tip is quite generous.
At the beginning, Chen Zhang was the champagne for this point.
At that time, he had just retired from his job as a specialized underwater diver, and was in urgent need of money, so he asked someone to find a job in the Champagne Club as an anonymous instructor. Because he is not named, he has no fixed guests in his hands. He always helps to bring this one today and that one tomorrow. Will any guests remember him
How can it be…
"You look like you've gotten into a bull's horn again." Yan Suizhi said, "I guess, you are thinking back to the people you knew who would tell me those things?"
Chen Zhang was stunned again, with a slightly embarrassed expression on his face.
In just two minutes and just a few words, Yan Suizhi had a general understanding of Chen Zhang's character - he was easily misled by others, unable to grasp the key points, so he would take no matter what anyone said seriously. It is easy to be credulous, and it is stupid to say something ugly, and it is a bit too serious.
Although this knowledge is not deep, but at least...
If the suspicion behind Chen Zhang really has hidden feelings, Yan Suizhi is not so surprised by his character.
However, Yan Suizhi doesn't like to draw conclusions in advance, although Chen Zhang's every move is simply standard "I'm hiding something, and I may be a little wronged, but I won't say it."
"Is this important?" Yan Suizhi's tone was very light.
Chen Zhang's face turned a little red, "I just can't figure out how you know..."
How did you know
Of course I saw it with my own eyes.
Not all the words that let the discipline convey is true. The interval from 1931 to 1947 was actually reported by Yan Suizhi casually. In 31 years, he was only nine years old, and he lived a peaceful and comfortable life. Nothing had happened yet, and that was not the age to be completely self-determined.
But he actually became a Champagne guest very early, at the age of 16.
From the age of 16 to 25, he was a frequent visitor to Champagne. Therefore, the words of the discipline are not all false.
In the first few years, he was always lazy and didn't like to pay attention to people, and he had a regular coach by his side, but he often went into the water without a coach without a word, which scared the coach to sweat. The coach is a mild-mannered talker, and he likes to chat with the guests Hu Tianhaidily.
The content of his chat was very broad, ranging from sudden life truths to an inconspicuous neighbor and colleague around him, and he would say anything to Yan Suizhi when he thought of it.
Yan Suizhi had no interest in the trivial things he said. But he would always give the right "um" or a grin. That's enough to keep the coach excitedly talking for a long time.
He remembered one time, he was sitting on the side of the diving boat, drinking a glass of water lazily, and looking at another diving boat not far away, there were no interested divers on that boat, only one instructor Standing alone in a corner, propped up and staring at the sea in a daze.
He watched for a while, then raised his chin over there and asked, "Who is that? I haven't seen it before."
His coach slammed half a bottle of fitness drink next to him like a buffalo, and touched his stomach, "Oh, a new colleague."
When he was young, Yan Suizhi rarely took the initiative to ask questions, so he was very excited when he rarely asked a coach. He opened the chat box and introduced a lot to him.
Yan Suizhi just asked casually, but he wasn't really interested, so he didn't listen very carefully, only a few words were thought through.
"His name is Chen Wen. Someone introduced him to the club two days ago. He was originally a diver who specializes in underwater operations. He has no problem with his skills." Because there was something wrong with my body the previous year, I am not suitable for continuing underwater work."
In fact, Champagne clubs rarely use people with unclear backgrounds, and after all, the guests are rich families, and the tips are generous, and no coach will be willing to give away the resources they already have. Therefore, as an unnamed coach who just entered champagne, it is normal for Chen Wen to be alone.
"I think he's not bad, but he's boring," the coach said. "He's not very close to people, so everyone in the club doesn't know him well. Maybe I've talked to him a lot, and I know him well. very limited."
The coach pointed to his eyes and said, "The only thing that impressed me more was that his eyesight was very strange. He is not sensitive to many things during the day, but he can see clearly at night. He is born to go into the water."
Yan Suizhi looked back at him: "How do you know?"
"Last time I forgot something at the club and came back to get it. He also had work to sort out that day and worked overtime in the office above the club. When I went to the equipment room, I was fumbling for the switch to turn on the light like a blind man. into his hands."
The coach gave an exaggerated shiver, "The soul will be frightened away! After a long time of trouble, the old man was actually going to the equipment room to find out his diving equipment. He was too lazy to turn on the light. I went in and touched his hand because he watched me stumblingly looking for the switch, intending to turn on the light for me."
Maybe it was because the coach's performance was too exaggerated, or maybe Chen Wen's solitary diving boat was a little special, so Yan Suizhi still remembered that unimportant scene after so many years.
In the few years after that, maybe it was because Yan Suizhi didn't match Chen Wen when he left, or because he paid little attention to others, he didn't have any new impressions of Chen Wen anymore. Occasionally, they are far away from the beach or the crowd, but Chen Wen is alone as always.
But it is not that he and Chen Wen have no intersection. The only time they intersect was in 47 years.
On that day, his talkative coach disappeared without him being dumped—
"There is something urgent at home, I asked Chen Wen to help you take you." When he arrived at Champagne, the coach left him a sentence.
At that time, Yan Suizhi encountered some things, and was a little absent-minded. After a casual response, he went to the VIP cabinet to get a set of diving suits and equipment and put them on. When he came out of the locker room to go to the beach, he happened to see Chen Wen, and was dragged away by several bodyguards, half-please, half-forced.
He had a little impression of those bodyguards, always following a young master in his teens. He also remembered what the coach said before he left, saying that Chen Wen had to bring another troublesome guest this afternoon.
It's probably this one.
As an experienced person who has also dumped the coach, Yan Suizhi knew what the bodyguards were doing at a glance, but he just laughed and went to the diving boat. He waited for a while on the diving boat, but he didn't see Chen Wenlai, so he simply went into the water by himself.
Unexpectedly, there was an accident...
In the meeting room, Chen Zhang rubbed his fingers hard, and after being tapped twice by Yan Suizhi, he finally gave up drilling the pointless horn, and instead asked, "You... Then you said you knew about the accident, What do you know about it?"
He thought about it for a while, then lowered his gaze a little self-sacrificingly, and said with a hint of sarcasm, "I didn't do my due diligence, causing the guests to have an accident underwater?"
Yan Suizhi thought for a while, "Almost."
Chen Zhang snorted and turned his face away, his face was as stinky as it was stinky, bitter and hated.
Yan Suizhi paused, then raised his eyebrows and continued, "But maybe you need to add a prefix, you were deliberately stopped by the bodyguard."
For a moment, Chen Zhang didn't react, and still kept his annoyed expression that his nose was not his nose and his eyes were not eyes.
After about three seconds, he turned around suddenly and stared at Yan Suizhi: "Do you really know?!!"
Yan Suizhi spread his hands, "Obviously, I have already said it."
Chen Zhang always remembered that day, the bodyguards stopped him as a joke at first, but after he was pulled into the locker room, his attitude changed instantly, and in the end, he was almost forced to stay in the locker room and not allowed to go. Beach gets in the way.
"Hinder", the words they used at the time, made Chen Zhang understand that the young master Manson was determined not to want the coach to follow him.
But after all, Manson was only fourteen years old, and he was really worried, and tried to leave the locker room several times in the middle to watch it underwater. But whether it was reasoning or direct action, those bodyguards remained indifferent.
Later, when he learned of the accident, his heart sank and he was in a cold sweat.
When Manson was lying in the hospital, he kept running to the hospital, but he didn't even see the door of the ward, so he was stopped by the bodyguard again, and his attitude was still tough.
After that, he was told by Champagne to stop going to the club, and he lost the job he finally found.
The reason is self-evident.
That time was the hardest time for him, all the bad things were piled up and smashed down, and the most terrible root was that he lost his job. Every time he thought about it, he couldn't help but feel resentment towards the fourteen-year-old young master Manson.
If it wasn't for Manson's insistence on letting the bodyguards stop him, there would be no possibility of what happened later, and he would not have been turned away by various clubs for several years.
In those years, he was so poor that he couldn't even get a job.
And resentment is such a thing, every time you think about it, it will deepen again, and it will be difficult to eradicate it.
One day his situation didn't get better, and he couldn't let it go.
After that, he tried to explain what happened to people, but no one wanted to believe him. Or that no one dared to believe him.
…
Even now, when he mentioned that incident back then, his eyes were still filled with that gloomy emotion.
"That accident wasn't yours." Yan Suizhi said, "I know."
There was no sympathy in his expression, and he was very calm, as if he was just saying something normal.
But it is precisely because it is extra calm that it makes people feel that what he said is what he thinks, not to comfort people.
This is precisely what Chen Zhang cares about the most. He does not need comfort. After so many years, comfort is of no use to him. After all, he has already endured what he should bear. The only thing he wants to hear is that someone doesn't need him to explain, and he doesn't need him to present evidence to know clearly that he didn't do it on purpose and that he is not an irresponsible person.
Chen Zhang stared blankly at Yan Suizhi.
Unlike Joshua Daller, he may have grievances but can't express them. Years of tempering have made his eyes not even red. He just stayed there for a long time, then lowered his head and wiped his face, then raised his eyes and said to Yan Suizhi sternly, "Anyway, I'm glad to hear your words."
Yan Suizhi glanced at his face and said, "You had plastic surgery later? When you were still called Chen Wen, you didn't look the same."
That's why, this time on the beach, Yan Suizhi didn't even feel familiar when he saw him.
On this point, the case information was not even mentioned, and the police station directly ignored this point, perhaps because the Champagne Club has long since ceased to exist, and some of his former colleagues have long since quit this line of work, and I don’t know which planet to go to. After living, there are still some who have no impression of him.
The most important thing is that Chen Zhang's confession was recorded so smoothly that he didn't need to spend any more time to investigate the less important things.
Chen Zhang hesitated for a while, and said, "I met a noble later, and he suggested that I change my face, change my identity and change my life. So I decided to change my name and adjust my appearance, throw away the unhappiness of the past, and start anew. Started. Thanks to him for his help in the process. In fact, what I did is not plastic surgery, but genetic adjustment.”
"Gene adjustment?" Yan Suizhi repeated and asked: "Registration is required to make genetic adjustment within the alliance. If you have done it, your identity information will be automatically bound with this mark. But your profile The column of past genetic adjustment records is very clean.”
"Of course it's not the official procedure." Chen Zhang said, "What I need is to start over, not to tell the world that I am the Chen Wen who had an accident, but with a new facial features and name."
"So it's a gray channel?"
Chen Zhang nodded, "The noble man said that he has some connections that allow me to do genetic adjustment quietly."
It feels so familiar.
Yan Suizhi nodded and said, "Intuition tells me that if I don't ask you who this noble person is and where the gray channel he refers to, I will definitely regret it."
Chen Zhang hesitated, but did not speak.
"Or you can choose to tell me everything that happened on Yaba Island that night." Yan Suizhi glanced at the time on the wall, "After all, in the half hour of this meeting, there are at least twenty-five minutes. All I do is to be in a daze, and to be in a daze with a look of resentment. Now there is not much time left, I can only choose one of the two answers. "
Chen Zhang: "..."
"I'm just an intern." Yan Suizhi said without any obstacles, "This is my first time accepting a case, and I'm very nervous and apprehensive."
Chen Zhang: "..."
"And the performance in this process will undoubtedly affect my career development for a long time in the future." Yan Suizhi said, "If the performance is too bad, for example, the client's mouth can't be opened, and nothing is obtained, I am very happy. You may not find a job."
Chen Zhang: "..."
Yan Suizhi's lips moved, as if he had something to say.
Chen Zhang said with a collapsed face: "Everything is said in the confession. What happened that night is written clearly, you can read it directly."
Yan Suizhi smiled and said, "Of course I've seen it, but I still want to hear you memorize it again."
Chen Zhang: "..."
He endured for a while, and then for a while, but finally he couldn't hold back, and said, "I choose to tell you that damn channel."
Yan Suizhi made a gesture and asked him to speak freely.
Chen Zhang recalled for a moment and said, "That noble... he has helped me a lot, I... I am very grateful to him, so forgive me for the inconvenience, I don't want to cause him unnecessary trouble. As for the gray channel, I will go to The one in Decama West. I don't know if you've heard of it, there's a black market there."
Yan Suizhi's eyes moved, "Just know."
"Go in at the intersection on the west side of the black market, the seventh facade from the left hand, there is a staircase, go upstairs from there. There is a room on the third floor. The people I found there can help with genetic adjustment." Chen Zhang said very much. detailed.
Yan Suizhi's expression did not change, but he had already written down the route in his heart.
Because the road was too familiar, after he woke up, he was arranged to live in that area. Maybe it wasn't a coincidence, he thought.
