Zhong Jian told Yu Sheng that he still didn't know the facts of the case, but it was actually just a pretext. His professionalism did not allow him to reveal too much to unrelated people, let alone cases that he did not yet fully understand. But he didn't expect that there would really be such a coincidence in his life, and just as he was on his way to District 6, the young stranger sitting next to him with a tired face turned out to be the family of one of the victims in the case.

It all started one afternoon three days ago.

Zhong Jian is a full-fledged lawyer at Kaiyun Law Firm. Kaiyun Law Firm is one of the best law firms in the second district, and the high legal fees are terrible. As soon as you enter Kaiyun Law Firm, you can almost be sure that you will stand at the top of the pyramid of 60 million residents in District 2 for the rest of your life, a place that almost every law student dreams of.

Of course, even in a large firm like Kaiyun, there are some special circumstances that cannot be avoided.

Every law firm needs a lawyer who is proficient enough in their own business, but not sleek and mature enough, and not strong enough in the city. In some difficult cases in the law firm that are not beneficial and not easy to produce results, well-known lawyers either cherish their feathers and are reluctant to take over, or disdain to waste energy, and trainee lawyers with a slightly inferior level are easy to mishandle and damage the reputation of the law firm, at this time, the case naturally needs such lawyers to take over.

The bell is one of them.

Zhongjian's office is located on the corner of the second floor of Kaiyun Law Firm, which is narrow and shady, and has not seen sunlight for many years.

It was here that Zhong Jian met his client.

When Zhong Jian first met his client, the case of the victim's parents had been privately rejected by the three lawyers at the law firm. But when the two middle-aged people, whose tear stains were still faintly visible, slowly sat in front of Zhong Jian, they were still full of gratitude to Zhong Jian and Kaiyun Law Firm.

Because until then, no firm in the 5th district was willing to take on their case.

After listening to the statements of the two people, Zhong Jian immediately understood why the victim had to go to the second district to find a lawyer in the case of the fifth district.

Gang ~ rape, violent injury, even if this kind of socially harmful case has a great social exposure and winning rate, there is no reason why the law firm is willing to take over, it is nothing more than the words power and money.

Time and again, the victims' families have been turned away.

After the victim called the police, the police recorded the confession and there was no news, the two policemen who went to the police at that time seemed to have evaporated from the world, the phone became a cold empty number, and the desk in the police station was clean, only the nameplate on the table that had not been removed proved that the existence of the two policemen was not the victim's imagination.

The victim wanted to be exposed in the newspaper and ask for help from the society, but the reporter who was indignant the day before took a long leave of absence the next day.

All the lawyers they contacted quit not long after they took over.

The client may not be able to tell who the other party is, and they may not even realize what a difficult situation they are about to face. They are just looking for possible justice again and again.

Even if Zhong Jian was willing to take over, all he could do was try to get more compensation for them.

"We don't want reparations, we just want those people to go to jail, we just want them to get the punishment they deserve. When Zhong Ma explained his idea to the two clients, the two of them objected in unison.

Zhong Jian looked at the two obviously old and unsuitable faces, thought about it again and again, and finally did not object. He decided that everything should wait for his investigation before making a decision, and if the client was really willing to fight for compensation, and was willing to risk losing the case to pursue justice, he tried his best to fight for it.

The train raced over the tracks, making rhythmic vibrations and sounds, and the rest of my life listened to the calm narration of the bell, silent.

Zhong Jian's gaze swept between the eyebrows of Yu Sheng from time to time, and the young man in front of him looked ordinary, but because he was too ordinary, so ordinary that it seemed that anyone could see the appearance of an acquaintance on his face, this extreme ordinary, but it made him special, which aroused a little interest in Zhong Jian, who had read countless people.

Yu Sheng didn't speak, and there was no expression on his face, but Zhong Jian could see Yu Sheng's turbulent heart through the increasingly dense gloom in the middle of Yu Sheng's eyebrows.

Yu Sheng's father died half a year ago, and the man who accompanied his mother to find Zhong Jian may be his mother's new support, so it's okay, listening to the man's performance, he has feelings for Yu Ye.

Yu Sheng thought sourly, in front of their family of three, he seemed to be an extra piece of the puzzle.

"My mom, they're right," Yu Sheng said, holding back the sourness in the corners of his eyes and nose, and pretending to be calm, "we just want those people to be punished as they deserve." ”

Zhong Jian suddenly became puzzled, his brows slowly furrowed, and his two eyes stared at Yu Sheng, as if thinking about something.

Just when the rest of his life was uncomfortable being stared at by these two bundles of eyes, Zhong Jian laughed.

Yu Sheng's eyes were red, a little inexplicable, and a trace of annoyance appeared on his face, but Zhong Jian's next words made him completely angry, and he was embarrassed to find a crack in the ground to get into.

"Ahem, I think you misunderstood," Zhong Ma cleared his throat, trying to hold back the smile on his face, "Your parents didn't contact me, it was the parents of another victim who contacted me, and they were my clients. ”

Yu Sheng felt that his ears were burning like a soldering iron, and he didn't know what to say, so he had to grin and twist the cup to drink to hide his embarrassment.

Unexpectedly, the more chaotic it is, the more wrong it is, and while drinking water for the rest of his life, his brain wants to say something without thinking about it to relieve the embarrassment on his face that is almost condensed into substance, and as a result, he choked on his own tears and snot as soon as he opened his mouth.

Zhong Jian finally couldn't help laughing, he shook his head and handed Yu Sheng a few tissues, Yu Sheng coughed almost breathlessly, so he had to nod his head and wipe his face indiscriminately.

By the time Yu Sheng finally breathed a sigh of relief and sorted himself out, Zhong Jian was already sitting upright, flipping through a book in his hand, only the smile that had not faded from the corner of his eyes made Yu Sheng's face faintly hot.

Yu Sheng was about to put away the cup, but found that the lid of the cup didn't know when it rolled under the seat not far away.

Yu Sheng was a little helpless, he walked over, bent down to pick up the lid of the cup, and wiped it around with the rest of the tissue. When he tried to straighten up, he felt someone push him behind him.

Yu Sheng was a little unhappy, he turned his head and collided with the person behind him.

The other party is a tall young man, about 1.9 meters, half a head taller than Yu Sheng, and his age looks only a little younger than Yu Sheng.

The young man was originally wearing a hood, hiding his entire face in the dark, and the collision with the rest of his life made his body involuntarily lean back, and the hood slipped off.

Yu Sheng saw that the young man's face was iron gray, and his hair was only a layer of cyan against his scalp, but what attracted Yu Sheng was the center of his forehead exposed after his hood slipped down, where there was a strange bulge, and in the middle of the bulge was a closed vertical slit.

Both of them were stunned for a moment, and Yu Sheng looked straight at the center of the young man's forehead, and the young man snorted, and the vertical slit on his forehead suddenly opened, and then everything became strange.

The rest of my life didn't know how I got back to my seat, and everything in front of me seemed to be distorted, like an ink painting that had been splashed with water.

The windows of the car seemed to be awakened by stones, rippling like water, and the light passed through the windows like melted gold threads. Yu Sheng turned to the opposite of him, a blurred face kept changing shapes, and his facial features kept wandering, like a funny character in the animation, Yu Sheng couldn't help but giggle.

There was a mouth in front of him that kept opening and closing, and it took a long time for the rest of his life to realize that someone was calling his name, and when he realized this, a bright light seemed to pass through his mind, and his whole body was smart, and the whole person suddenly woke up.

The distorted picture in front of him disappeared, and the sunlight was still bright and soft, shining straight through the glass, and the reflected carriage seemed to be plated with a layer of gold dust.

The person who called him by name and woke him up from his hallucination was none other than Zhong Ma.

"Are you okay?" Zhong Jian was a little puzzled, the rest of his life only left for half a minute, but when he came back, he suddenly acted like a drunken drunkard.

"I don't know. Yu Sheng shook his head, feeling his brain bobbing back and forth in his skull like a piece of jelly, like a headache after a hangover, "It feels like drunk, but it feels weirder than that." ”

"Are you sick?" or ......" Zhong Jian thought about it and asked in a low voice, "Do you take drugs?"

Yu Sheng was startled at first, and then was made to cry and laugh by Zhong Jian's serious expression.

"How can I ......" Yu Sheng rubbed his temples gently, "I look like a drug addict......"

"Do you need to get out of the car and go to the hospital to have a look?" Zhong Jian asked, "Do you remember what you just encountered?"

"No, I just ...... suddenly" Yu Sheng suddenly seemed to bite his tongue and stopped his voice.

He remembered, he remembered the young man he had just seen, the vertical slit in the center of the young man's forehead, which slowly opened to reveal a golden gem that swirled wildly.

No, Yu Sheng suddenly realized that it wasn't a gem, it was a golden eyeball.

The golden eyeballs suddenly lit up, and everything in front of them disappeared inexplicably.

There was a loud thud behind him, pulling Yu Sheng back from his second hallucination.

Yu Sheng turned his head to look, and not only Yu Sheng, but the people in the entire carriage turned their eyes to the place where the sound came from.

Four soldiers in white uniforms greeted everyone's gaze, followed by a scrawny man with a nose as sharp as an eagle's beak.

He tilted his head, nose twitching, as if searching for something in the air.

"He didn't hide here, it wasn't long ago. The man ignored the gazes of the others in the carriage and pointed to the next car, "Catch up, he has nowhere to run." ”

The man was not wearing a military uniform, but the soldiers seemed to be centered on him, and hearing his words, the four of them walked to the next carriage without saying a word.

The soldiers never spoke a word again, and the silence seemed to be contagious, and the originally noisy carriage was affected by this oppressive atmosphere, and it was as quiet as still, until the five men left.

It took a long time for the rest of his life to let out the breath that had accumulated in his chest.

He looked at the bell and asked in a low voice, "Have you seen the white uniform?"

Zhong Jian shook his head, his face full of the same confusion, "I've seen green, black, blue, but I've never heard of a unit with a pure white uniform. ”

The two of them thought about each other and looked at each other speechlessly, except for the sound of the train pressing over the tracks and the bustle in the carriage gradually recovering.
