"It's human blood!"
"Moreover, it was the blood of several people, and their blood types were different!"
At Jinshun Hotel, prosecutors were waiting by a telephone that had been temporarily pulled over to the "conference room". When the chief prosecutor Yu Zhengdao, who answered the phone, announced the news to several prosecutors and criminal police officers such as Li Wei and Sha Dahai, there was an immediate cheer in the room.
Everyone hugged each other, enjoyed the good news, and worked day and night until they finally achieved a phased victory.
Only Hou Dexing forced a smile and listened to the excited discussions of the people around him.
Yu Zhengdao smiled and said, "Prosecutor Cheng said that everyone has been too busy recently, and has been working non-stop until today, so Prosecutor Cheng wants to treat us. Let's go downstairs and have a midnight snack at Zhang's Roast Duck Restaurant. Prosecutor Cheng and Attorney Lu are on their way there."
Before anyone knew it, even Yu Zhengdao, the second-in-command of the prosecution team, began to call the young lawyer "Mr. Lu."
Now, it was already one o'clock in the morning, and Prosecutor Cheng only brought Lu Ming with him to the forensic office to wait for the results. The rest of them came back to wait for news.
Yu Zhengdao smiled and raised his voice: "Inspector Cheng also said that we will postpone the first morning meeting tomorrow to 1pm, so let's relax and eat more and drink more. It's like a half-day off. Let's celebrate. From tomorrow afternoon, it will be a new starting point for our war. Everyone should be in high spirits. We will inevitably be busy day and night. I'm sorry for the hard work, and I'm counting on you all!"
Everyone was cheering. They had been under a lot of pressure during this period and had to stay up late every day. Their nerves were about to break, and today's relaxation came at the right time.
…
The black Xuelong 950 slowly stopped in front of Zhangji Roast Duck Restaurant, a roast duck restaurant with an ancient style, red lanterns hanging outside, and an antique building. The inner room is laid out with traditional wooden couches, and guests need to take off their shoes and sit on the floor.
Patting Lu Ming on the shoulder, Cheng Lingyu looked at Park Soo-na and Sun Luting in the front driver's seat and said, "You two have worked hard today. Let's go together."
Lu Ming nodded: "Yes, together, but they sit at a table alone. They won't feel comfortable sitting with us."
"Okay, okay, it's all mine!" Cheng Lingyu said with a smile.
"No, I'll pay for everything today. Since I joined the team, I haven't treated everyone to a meal." Lu Ming smiled again: "Who told me that my monthly allowance is so high? I'd feel guilty if I didn't spend any of it!"
"You brat!" Cheng Lingyu scolded with a smile, "I still remember it! I know you have money, but this meal must be paid for by me!"
People are like this. If you don't like someone, then everything he says will annoy you. If you like him, even his farts will smell good.
Now, Cheng Lingyu is at the stage where he likes Lu Ming more and more.
Lu Ming had been talking about treating everyone, so Cheng Lingyu had to pay for today's meal, otherwise it would be too late to take over the show. So he smiled and said, "Okay, I'll treat you the day we win the lawsuit."
Cheng Lingyu smiled. At this time, Park Soo-na and Sun Luting had already got out of the car. One on the left and one on the right, one helped Lu Ming open the car door, and the other helped Cheng Lingyu open the car door.
There was already a row of people standing outside Zhang's Roast Duck Restaurant. Yu Zhengdao, along with all the prosecutors and police chiefs, were waiting there.
The prosecutorial system is just like the official system, with a very strict hierarchy.
Seeing Lu Ming and Cheng Lingyu get off the car, Yu Zhengdao took the lead in applauding, and everyone followed suit, and the applause became more and more enthusiastic.
Lu Ming glanced at Yu Zhengdao and thought that this Yu Jian was a powerful figure. The position of second-chief prosecutor was replaced by himself, but he remained calm and took the lead in welcoming him like a hero. This is amazing! In this life, only such people can make it in the officialdom.
"Okay, okay, wait until we finally celebrate our victory to applaud! We're in!" Cheng Lingyu waved his hand to interrupt the applause, and no longer paid attention to Lu Ming, but took the lead to enter the store.
Lu Ming nodded in his heart. This was a way to cool himself down, so as to avoid being envied by many people. Sometimes, envy leads to jealousy, which is only a step away.
Looking back at Park Soo-na and Sun Lu-ting, "You two have worked hard today. Just order whatever you want to eat. You're welcome. Although I'm not paying for it today, I will make it up to you later. So, order more delicious food. Don't feel embarrassed to eat other people's food or embarrass me."
Sun Luting said calmly: "Of course, this old slave eats the young master's food, and it has nothing to do with others."
Park Soo-na smiled slightly: "Sir, I don't eat much at night. I ate some snacks while waiting for you at the forensic department. I will just have a bowl of soup later. It's not that I deliberately eat less."
Lu Ming nodded: "Well, you can try the duck bone soup later. I haven't eaten the roast duck here before. I don't know how it tastes. Let's try it."
Then he smiled, the "here" he was talking about was definitely different from what Xiao Pu and Lao Sun thought.
…
Cheng Lingyu, Lu Ming and a dozen other people sat cross-legged at a long table by the window. Park Soo-na and Sun Luting sat at a small table a little further away at the other end. Soon, roast duck and various special dishes were served.
Cheng Lingyu set a rule as soon as he sat at the table. No one, including himself, was allowed to talk about the case. Today was a day of relaxation. Whoever mentioned the case would have to drink three cups as punishment.
Everyone was a little reserved at first, but as Cheng Lingyu drank several glasses, he sang even louder the military songs he sang in his early years in the army.
As everyone applauded and cheered, the atmosphere gradually became more heated.
Lu Ming didn't say much, letting the prosecutors take the lead. He would occasionally clink glasses with Wang Xiaohu, and everything was said without saying a word.
Sha Dahai switched seats with the person next to Lu Ming and sat on the other side. He smiled and chatted with Lu Ming in a casual manner.
Behind him, a fragrant breeze was blowing and wooden boards were creaking. Lu Ming turned around and saw Park Soo-na walking towards him. She was wearing a sapphire blue uniform suit, a white shirt and a beautiful silk scarf around her pink neck. After entering the house, she took off her beret, revealing her beautifully trimmed bangs. Her hair was slightly bleached and dyed dark red, which made her look extremely beautiful and charming. She had beautiful legs in black stockings, and the red nail polish on her feet was faintly visible through the thin misty stockings.
Immediately, all the men at the table looked over, especially those who had drunk too much, their eyes were filled with eagerness.
Wang Xiaohu quickly moved aside, and Park Soo-na knelt down beside Lu Ming and asked softly, "Sir, which wine glass is yours?"
Lu Ming was frowning when Sha Dahai leaned over and whispered, "Lawyer Lu, I saw that Mr. Hou said something to Miss Park when he went to the bathroom just now. He must have asked Miss Park to come."
Obviously, he was a smart guy who could see that Lu Ming was unhappy, so he decided not to wrongly accuse the kid.
The drivers all respectfully call her "Miss Park", and Sha Dahai naturally has his own rules in mind: a servant should respect his master.
After hearing what Sha Dahai said, Lu Ming's expression softened slightly. He nodded slightly, pointed to his wine glass, and said, "I drink tea."
The cup was still full of tea, so Park Soo-na lifted it up with both hands, without replacing the tea with new one, and said softly to everyone, "My dear uncles and brothers, I dare to offer you a cup of tea. It may be a little abrupt, but that's because I'm young and ignorant. Also, I have to drive Mr. Lu home, so I can't drink. If I'm impolite, it's all my fault."
Lu Ming's brows gradually relaxed as he listened. His words were quite appropriate. He didn't say anything because he wanted to see her actions. If she said one wrong word, the probation period would be over.
"That won't do. You have to drink! How can you toast with tea? Don't you see who is sitting here?!" Hou Dexing yelled.
Cheng Lingyu was obviously a little drunk. He looked at Park Soo-na with drunken eyes and said with a smile, "Yes, yes, let's change the wine. Changing the wine will make it more lively!"
Lu Ming glanced at Hou Dexing. No wonder this guy suddenly caused trouble. It seemed that he had some understanding of Cheng Lingyu.
This Old Cheng is probably the type who loses his morals after drinking. In fact, people are inherently contradictory. It is difficult to find purely good people or purely bad people. Old Cheng has his merits, but he also has many bad habits.
Park Soo-na knew that Cheng Lingyu was the eldest, and she looked at Lu Ming with some embarrassment in her beautiful eyes.
Lu Ming smiled and reached out to press down her teacup. "What's the point of drinking tea or wine? Let me sing a song for everyone!" He then said to Hou Dexing, "Prosecutor Hou, who are all here? So what?!"
Arrogance was evident in his words. Before anyone could react, he had already picked up the clapper, tapped the bowl lightly, and began to hum. It was the best tune in the world, but it was changed to the lyrics of this world, "The scenery of life is like the wind surging in the sea..."
He sang softly, and this tune seemed particularly suitable for expressing one's passion while drinking. Gradually, everyone was moved by him and began to sing along, knocking on their bowls.
And his contempt for everything and his retort to Hou Dexing seemed to be the opening to the tune, leaving no room for fault.
But there are no fools who can enter the ranks of prosecutors. Everyone can guess that the real mentality of this lawyer Lu is, isn’t it? Everyone here counts as one, and if everyone is polite, they are colleagues. If they are not polite, everyone counts as one, and who do you think you are? !
"We are the best in the world!" Lu Ming stopped banging on the dishes and smiled at everyone, "I hope we can handle this case beautifully. Our team is the best team!"
Everyone immediately applauded and cheered. It was a song they had never heard before, but at this moment, it made their hearts surge with excitement and they felt their hearts filled with passion and pride.
"You go back!" Lu Ming smiled at Park Soo-na beside him.
"Ah, ah, yes..." Park Soo-na, who was staring at Lu Ming in a trance, suddenly came back to her senses, stood up somewhat at a loss, and walked back to her table in small steps.
But fewer people went to see her beautiful figure, and there was a vague feeling that although Lawyer Lu was young, he was not someone to be trifled with.
Cheng Lingyu clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Lawyer Lu, good, good, the wine we drank today is great, really great!"
Lu Ming went to get the cup and was slightly startled. The cup was empty. It was obvious that Park Soo-na had drunk it all, not even minding the fact that there was her saliva in it.
After thinking for a while, he changed the cup, poured a glass of wine, and said with a smile: "Come on, I'll toast to Prosecutor Cheng. Let's toast to Prosecutor Cheng together. It's time to leave. Let's have a reunion drink! I wish that our case will be successful in spite of all difficulties!"
Everyone immediately cheered and raised their glasses, making the atmosphere extremely lively.
Only Hou Dexing, his face turning pale and blue, forced a smile and raised his glass to clink glasses with everyone else.
