Chapter 34: The Innocent Murderer

"Hey Li Ye, what are you looking at?

Just as Li Ye was looking at his phone intently, he suddenly heard a very sweet voice ringing in his ears.

Li also looked up unconsciously when he heard the sound, but saw a girl looking at him with a smile.

The girl is delicate and fair-skinned, and although she is wearing a simple pink dress, the girl's sunny smiling face and clear eyes like a lake are all full of youthful beauty.

"Ziyu, you're here. This beautiful girl is not Han Ziyu, but who is it, so Li Ye hurriedly put away his mobile phone and greeted Han Ziyu.

"Li Ye, have you waited for a long time?" Han Ziyu generously pulled out a chair and sat down opposite Li Ye.

"No, I've just arrived. Li also shook his head, "lying" was that a face was not red and his heart was not beating, and he seemed to have completely forgotten that he had been scrolling the web for more than half an hour just now.

Actually, I could have arrived earlier, but I was busy with things in the office until midnight yesterday, so the alarm clock rang several times this morning before waking me up!" Han Ziyu heard Li say the same, and the "little" regret in her heart for being late immediately dissipated.

Han Ziyu and Li are also the same age, both are twenty-six this year, but unlike Li, Han Ziyu is a thorough scholar, not long ago not only successfully obtained a master's degree in law, but also passed the national judicial examination at one time, and obtained a lawyer's qualification certificate.

Now, through his mother's connections, Han Ziyu is working as a trainee lawyer at a medium-sized law firm.

However, listening to Han Ziyu's tone, it seems that although she is still in the internship stage, she is already busy because of the work in the firm.

So Li couldn't help but ask with some curiosity: "Ziyu, aren't you still a trainee lawyer?

"What! Li Ye, you look down on me too much! My usual job now is to do errands for those more senior lawyers in the firm, such as retrieving documents and sorting out materials. Han Ziyu shook her head, talking about this topic made Han Ziyu not mention how depressed she was.

Although Han Ziyu was at work, her mother reminded her that newcomers usually do some odd jobs when they first enter the office, as long as they survive for a while.

And Han Ziyu's mentality was not bad at that time, she felt that she had no work experience, and when she helped others, she could take the opportunity to learn something.

But when Han Ziyu was really called by others to run errands, her mentality changed, and she always felt very uncomfortable.

Because Han Ziyu feels that what she is doing now can actually be done by a person who "knows how to read", then she has been reading law for so many years, isn't it in vain.

Han Ziyu is a person who can't hide her thoughts, so the annoyance in her heart quickly showed on her face, and after the sharp-minded Li Ye saw it, she immediately understood Han Ziyu's distress.

But to be honest, although Li Ye also had a rookie period of doing "dirty work and tiring work", and often complained here and there at work, it was probably because Li Ye's education was relatively low, so Li Ye's idea that a job like Han Ziyu was not worthy of his own ability, Li Ye had never had.

Of course, there has been no such annoyance, and it does not affect Li Ye to comfort Han Ziyu.

"Ziyu, don't be sad, you see that even if I am less than half a bottle of swaying, I can become the head of the special management bureau! Aren't you much better than me? I believe that with your ability, it won't be long before you will be able to receive your own case, and then you will be able to really show your strength!"

Although Li Ye's practice of comforting Han Ziyu by belittling himself is a full dog licking behavior, it is indeed very effective.

After hearing this, Han Ziyu smiled and asked, "What you said is true?"

"Of course, how could I lie to you, and you will be punished for lying to others. Li also swore solemnly.

But as soon as Li Ye's words fell, a waiter who passed behind him slipped because he was walking too quickly, and he didn't pay attention to the slippage under his feet, and he fell to the ground with a thud, and before he fell, the cup of iced coffee in the waiter's hand unfortunately just fell to Li Ye's head without falling to the ground, and Li Ye instantly poured it into his heart.

Seeing the scene where Li was also nakedly slapped in the face, Han Ziyu couldn't help but "giggle" and laughed so much that she couldn't close her mouth.

Seeing this, Li Ye wiped a handful of coffee dripping from his forehead with his hand, and smiled helplessly.

After a while, Li also went to the toilet to clean up his hair under the continuous apologies of the café manager and the waiter who caused the accident, and when he came back, he saw that Han Ziyu had already lowered his head and gently sipped a cup of freshly ordered coffee.

"Clean up!" Han Ziyu waited for Li Ye to sit back at the table, squinting his eyes and smiling.

"Hmm!"

Li also nodded, and then he wanted to laugh at himself, but he was a little afraid that the atmosphere would be embarrassed by himself, so Li Ye, who didn't know what to say for a while, fell into silence inexplicably.

"What's the matter?" Han Ziyu saw that Li Ye suddenly stopped talking, thinking that Li Ye was also because he had built his happiness on the basis of his bad luck, so he felt unhappy in his heart, so he tilted his head a little embarrassed and asked Li Ye playfully.

"No! no!" Li also quickly denied.

"Then why is your expression so serious?" Han Ziyu asked as she puffed out her cheeks to show the slightly stiff expression on Li Ye's face at this time.

Seeing Han Ziyu's funny appearance, the corners of Li Ye's mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.

"Laughed! Laughed! Finally laughed again! Li Ye, you actually look good when you smile, don't keep a straight face all day long, don't you hear!" Seeing that a smile reappeared on Li Ye's face, Han Ziyu immediately pointed at Li Ye with his little hand.

Li Ye couldn't help but feel very happy in his heart when Han Ziyu praised him like this, but on the surface, he shook his head shyly.

"By the way, Ziyu, what are you looking for me?" Li also asked.

Hearing Li also ask about the matter, Han Ziyu raised her eyebrows, and the smile on her face immediately narrowed, "That's right, I recently received a criminal case with lawyer Fan of our firm, and the client was prosecuted by the procuratorate for a homicide case. ”

"Murderer!" Li Ye's expression froze, although he knew that Han Ziyu was not qualified to choose a commission at this stage, but hearing Han Ziyu defend a murderer still made Li Ye, as a policeman, feel a little uncomfortable.

"No, no, no, my client was wronged. Han Ziyu saw the stiff expression on Li Ye's face, and immediately guessed Li Ye's thoughts, and hurriedly waved his hand.

"Actually, my client just happened to pass by when the murder happened, and he saw the victim lying on the ground covered in blood, so he wanted to go over to check the situation, but he didn't expect to be mistaken by the police for the murderer. ”

However, Li was skeptical about Han Ziyu's explanation: "No, right? If your client is really just passing by, then even if he leaves a little trace at the scene, the police can't indiscriminately treat him as a murderer, right?"

"Because my client didn't choose to report the case at that time, there is still ......" Han Ziyu slurred as he spoke, making it clear that there was another hidden story.

"What else?"

"And my client happened to know the victim. ”

Under Li Ye's questioning, Han Ziyu still said the reason why the police locked her client as the murderer, but from Han Ziyu's flickering eyes, Li also knew that Han Ziyu must have something else to tell him.

"It should be more than that, right?"

"That's it! Nothing else. Han Ziyu's eyes widened and Li Ye replied affirmatively.

Han Ziyu thought that she could increase the authenticity of what she said by looking directly at Li Ye, but Han Ziyu didn't know that only liars would stare at others without momentary glances when communicating in order to convince others that they were telling the truth.

Seeing that Han Ziyu just didn't want to tell the whole truth, Li couldn't help but feel a little frustrated, he didn't expect Han Ziyu to ask him for help, but he didn't completely trust him.

However, Li Ye is not incomprehensible about this, thinking that Han Ziyu is worried that after saying everything, she will not be able to prove to herself that her client is not the real murderer, and in this way, she may not help him.

To be honest, Han Ziyu's concerns are not unreasonable, in other words, Li Ye's other friends asked Li Ye to help a murderer, Li Ye really wouldn't help out of principle, but if the person who asked Li Ye to help was Han Ziyu, then Li Ye would hesitate at most, but the final result would definitely agree.

Who made Han Ziyu a very "special friend" in Li Ye's mind!

So in order to dispel Han Ziyu's concerns, Li Ye crossed his hands and ten fingers on the table, leaned forward slightly, and approached Han Ziyu closer: "It should be more than that! Ziyu If you are looking for me for this case, I can help you, but you better tell me everything." ”

"Hmm......" Although Li also said so, Han Ziyu still didn't speak immediately.

Han Ziyu blinked with a pair of big eyes, looked at Li Ye for a moment, and finally saw that Li Ye always had a sincere expression on his face, and finally completely believed what Li Ye said.

"Okay! I'll tell you the truth! Not only does my client know the victim, but he also has a certain grudge relationship with the victim. ”

"It must be a big grudge to let the police treat him as a murderer! Can you tell me more about it?"

Out of professional habits, Li Ye unconsciously put on his usual work tone when he asked Han Ziyu this, and his originally soft gaze gradually became sharp.

Fortunately, Han Ziyu didn't care about this, but Li Ye's very devoted and serious attitude made Han Ziyu feel secretly happy, indicating that she didn't find the wrong person.

"My client's surname is Zheng Jixiong, who was originally the CEO of Ba Teng Shipping Company, but because of the poor performance of Ba Teng Company and its losses year after year, Ba Teng Company was acquired by Xunbao Company in the same industry last month, and my client was dismissed, and the boss of the Xunbao Company was Chen Hao, the victim of the murder. In addition, the victim Chen Hao also had an extramarital relationship with my client's wife, Zhao Xiaoya, for half a year. ”

This man is so miserable! Not only was he fired, but he was also greened by his wife, and the key thing is that the culprit is still the same person.

After listening to Han Ziyu's narration, Li couldn't help but feel deep sympathy for Han Ziyu's client, Zheng Jixiong.

But then again, the worse what happened to Jung Ki-woong, the more fully motivated he was to commit the crime, so Lee didn't understand why Han Zi-ok would think that Jung Ki-woong was innocent.

So Li also asked: "Ziyu, you just said that Zheng Ki-woong is not the murderer, so what evidence can you come up with to prove it?"

"Yes. Han Ziyu nodded vigorously.

"What is it?"

"Witnesses. ”

Han Ziyu saw that Li Ye listened to his answer, and then showed a puzzled look on his face, so he explained to Li Ye: "That's the case, in fact, when my client Zheng Jixiong found the victim, a child from Zheng Jixiong's neighbor also happened to pass by, so that child can prove that Chen Hao was not killed by my client." ”

However, it was okay that Han Ziyu didn't explain, but an explanation made Li Ye even more confused.

"Then let that kid testify for your client. Li also said.

"Alas, here's the problem, the child is missing. Han Ziyu sighed lightly, his expression full of depression and helplessness.

"Missing?"

"Yes, my client told the police, and the police went to look for the child, but the parents of the child said that their child disappeared on the day Chen Hao was killed, so my client not only failed to get away with it, but was also suspected that the child's disappearance was also related to my client. ”

"Maybe that child's disappearance is really related to Jung Ki-woong!" Li Ye said secretly in his heart.

Li also believes that Han Ziyu's belief that Jung Ki-woong is not the murderer is completely based on Jung Ki-woong's one-sided statement, but in fact, Zheng Ki-woong can't find any evidence to prove his innocence except for the missing child.

And the so-called child who can prove that Jung Ki-woong is not the murderer, perhaps on the contrary, happens to be an eyewitness who witnessed the process of Jeong Ki-woong's crime, so in order not to expose his crime, Jung Ki-woong killed the child together.

However, although Li Ye thought so in his heart, he didn't say it, after all, these were just Li Ye's guesses, and he also couldn't come up with evidence to prove his thoughts.

"That's right, Ziyu, then you want me to help you find that child?" Li also asked.

"Yes, that's what I thought, but—you—do you have time?" Han Ziyu nodded, but her tone was very hesitant, because she knew that Li also worked in the Special Management Bureau, and she also knew that Li Ye had always been very busy with his work, so she didn't know if Li Ye would be able to find time to help her.

"Yes. Li Ye almost didn't think about it, so he replied.

"Are you sure, I remember that you weren't very busy at work?" Han Ziyu couldn't help but be quite surprised when she saw Li Ye answer so quickly.

"Because I happened to solve two cases recently, the section chief gave me three days off to rest and rest. Li also picked up the coffee on the table, and said while lowering his head and blowing lightly twice.

"Really! That's great!"

Han Ziyu was very happy when she heard Li Ye say that she really had time, but she didn't notice that the coffee in Li Ye's cup was already cold.
