137. Breakthrough
I said, "Are you sure?"
Tan Wan said: "That's what that person said. β
I asked, "Did he tell you who he was?"
Tan Yun said: "It is impossible for him to tell us his identity, in short, no matter what the origin of this person is, we can only go to see him." Seeing that I was still hesitating, Tan Yun couldn't help but ask: "Xiao Fan, what are you at ease here?" It's just that you take the risk to meet, you won't have any loss, and we can get a chance, if you really don't want to take the risk, unless you can find Li Luo in a short time now." β
Shi Jie also looked at me, they didn't know where my concerns were, I was silent for a few seconds, and finally tried according to Tan Yun's words.
So early the next morning, I went to the largest prison in the city with Tan Yun and Shi Jie, we went there relatively early, about nine o'clock, the prison side of the dawn is relatively early, the place is also remote, and the weather is a little cold in the morning, Tan Yun and I are waiting, constantly stomping our feet, rubbing our hands to keep warm.
When the time gradually reached ten o'clock, but no one came out of it, I became more and more anxious, and the ominous premonition in my heart became stronger and stronger, Tan Yun's face turned white, thinking that I was cold, so he came over and held my hand, rubbed it twice and asked, "Is it still cold?"
I subconsciously replied, "I'm not cold." β
She said, "But your hands are shaking." β
I realized that certain parts of my body and reactions had already exposed my emotions.
Just as we were talking, there was a creaking sound from the prison door at this time, Tan Wan and I looked sideways for the first time, and a prison guard came out of it, walking in our direction, and at that moment my heart was in my throat, until he arrived in front of us and looked at us cautiously. I asked, "Who are you?"
Tan Yun seemed to react, and immediately replied: "We are Li Guoping's family." β
When the policeman heard Tan Yun's words, he didn't ask anything, but just whispered, "Come in with me." β
We were about to follow the police into the prison gate, but who knew that he suddenly stopped again, looked back at us and asked, "Only one can go in, which of you can go in?"
Tan Wan and I glanced at each other, Tan Yun immediately pushed me, I reacted, and said, "I'll go." β
The guard whispered, "Come with me." Then I walked in after him.
I've never been to a place like this, and I've followed the policeman deeper and deeper. The more I felt that the air around me was cold, and after he took me to the prison visiting hall, I saw Li Guoping sitting in the visiting window at a glance, his spirit did not look much different from last time, except for the clothes he wore and the clothes he usually wore were different, it seemed that he was living quite well inside.
After I walked over, I picked up the microphone hanging on the wall and put it to my ear, and Li Guoping, who had been waiting for a long time at the other end, also picked up the microphone and said, "Miss Yu, long time no see." β
I said, "Long time no see." β
He sneered and said, "Thanks to you, I am now like this." β
Li Guoping and I have never been friends, and we are not now. Not in the future, at most half of the collaborators, each taking what he needs.
He spoke with a thorn, and I didn't mind, it was just the two of us, so I hurried to say what I wanted to say.
"I have hired the best lawyer for you, if you want to get out of here alive, the only thing you can do is to listen to my arrangement, I believe that you came to me today, and definitely did not want to talk to me about your feelings in the past few days in prison. β
Li Guoping laughed twice and said, "It is worthy of being Yu Zhenghe's daughter, who forced me to this situation where I have to go." β
I smiled and said, "Mr. Li, don't say that, I believe that you are only temporary, if you really want to go out, are you still afraid that you won't be able to get out?"
Li Guoping didn't plan to go in circles with him, and said directly: "How are you going to save me." β
I told him truthfully, "I can promise you that you will come out safe and sound, but there is nothing I can do about your wife." β
When he heard this, his face changed and he said, "This is what you are capable of? You must be clear, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have come this far, and if you couldn't let my wife and I come out unharmed." Then there is no need to talk about the rest of the matter. β
I sneered and reminded him: "Mr. Li, you have no other choice now, and now, I believe that the reason why you came to me is also because you were forced to make a helpless choice after being cornered, and I must correct you that if I don't go to you, you will naturally not fall into such a step, but the premise is that your wife has not accepted bribes from others." I looked at him and smiled and said, "Even if I hadn't gone to you, would something like this not happen?" It's just a matter of time, so now I'm giving you this opportunity, not because you're unlucky." It's just that you're lucky. β
He said, "So, I have to thank you?"
I said, "You can think so." β
As we were talking, it was about time to get up, and a prison guard walked in and asked how long we were left.
Li Guoping immediately made a gesture to him, indicating that it would take five more minutes.
The guards looked at us, didn't say anything, and retreated from here.
After leaving me and Li Guoping again, I said to Li Guoping: "I will never force people, if you want me to help you, no matter how much it costs, I will not let you come out unharmed, if you don't need my help and want to live here permanently, then I won't bother, just as if I never came to you." β
His momentum is finally not as arrogant as before, because he knows very well that now except for me who can save him, no one will lend a helping hand to him at all, and once people can live, they will not want to die.
Li Guoping finally made a compromise, he said: "If you can save my wife"
"If I can rescue your wife by the way, I would prefer this result, regardless of the relationship between the two of us, as far as you are Li Luo's father, if you can do this, I will definitely help you do it. β
At this point, his expression was almost pleading, and he said, "In any case, it doesn't matter if you ignore me, I hope you can put my wife first." β
I said, "I'm definitely going to do that for you if I have the chance, but the most important thing now is that you have to entrust your case to the lawyer I found for you." β
"No problem, I'll apply," he said. β
I said, "Okay." β
Five minutes have passed. The prison guards walked in, and this time they didn't ask us if we were okay, but directly urged me to leave here, and Li Guoping, who was sitting in the visiting hall, withdrew his gaze from me, and was led in again by the prison guards.
And I didn't stay here long, after leaving the prison, Shi Jie and Tan Yun had been waiting there for a long time, and they immediately walked towards me, and Tan Yun asked me how I was doing after meeting Li Guoping.
I said, "Li Guoping has agreed to hand over the power of delegation to us. β
When Tan Yun heard this, he also put down his heart and said: "Since the entrustment has been handed over to Shi Jie, after that." Shi Jie can go to see Li Guoping and them as a lawyer. β
Shi Jie asked, "Did he tell you about this case?" β
I said, "It's so inconvenient to talk inside, we didn't have time to talk about it." β
When Shi Jie heard this, he could only nod and say, "Let's go back first, and then we will talk about the rest when the power of attorney reaches me." β
Tan Yun also nodded, and after we quickly got into the car, the car drove away from the prison.
After that, we were waiting for news from the police, and after Shi Jie was entrusted by Li Guoping, he applied to see the client as a guardian lawyer, but the police refused at first. Shi Jie's request was repeatedly rejected on the grounds that he refused to allow anyone to visit him during the investigation.
In the end, Shi Jie applied for a meeting with the court on the grounds of protecting the defendant's personal rights, and the court came forward to coordinate, and the police slowly replied to the letter after a full week.
On the day Shi Jie went to see Li Guoping, I got up early in the morning, and after breakfast, I didn't do anything, so I sat on the sofa and waited for news from Shi Jie's side, and waited for more than two hours, Shi Jie hadn't called yet, and I picked up the magazine on the table. Distraughtly flipped through a few pages, and after a few pages, the mobile phone I put on the table at any time rang, I stretched out my hand to answer, but my eyes fell on the mobile phone screen, and I found that the call was not from Shi Jie, but Yu Zhenghe.
I was slightly startled, hesitated for a moment, then pressed the answer button, and after the phone was connected, Yu Zhenghe asked me on the other end of the phone how I was talking about the project with Baolian.
I didn't tell Yu Zheng that he and I had come back from the city, and he always thought that I was always there to negotiate with Pauline.
I hesitated for a moment before saying, "Dad, I haven't been answered yet." β
Yu Zhenghe asked loudly: "What did you say?"
I said, "Yes." β
After waiting for so many days, it is about Yu Zhenghe's limit, and now he hasn't waited for the news over there, which is undoubtedly an insult, so he got angry at me and asked: "What the hell did you talk about? Didn't you take the initiative to cooperate over there? Did you offend Baolian's side somewhere?!"
I wanted to explain something, but Yu Zhenghe simply gave a sentence: "Forget it, sending you over, it's just a waste person, I'll call over in person to ask what's going on." β
Then Yu Zhenghe hung up the phone, I was afraid that Yi Jin would tell Yu Zhenghe that I was not in the city. I immediately called him again, and after calling, he still didn't pull me out of the blacklist, and I couldn't contact him.
After I made a few calls, I could only call Chen Su, but Chen Su answered quickly, and as soon as he received my call, he asked, "Is there something wrong with Miss Yu?"
I said, "Is your boss by your side?"
But Yu Zhenghe shouldn't be able to contact Yi Jin, but Chen Su, I thought about it, and quickly asked, "Assistant Chen, did you hear the call from Yu just now?"
Chen Su said, "Did Mr. Yu call?"
I said, "Yes." β
Chen Su said: "The boss is answering. β
I suddenly remembered. Yu Zhenghe and Yi Jin are not familiar with each other, even if Yi Jin personally answers his call, he may not be able to hear his voice.
I was afraid that Yi Jin would fix me again, so I could only temporarily stabilize my mind and say, "Don't hang up the phone first, wait for that side to hang up, and then give me my phone to Yi Jin." β
Chen hesitated slightly, and I added: "I have something urgent!"
After about a few minutes, Chen Su said on the phone: "The boss has finished talking to Mr. Yu on the phone. After he finished saying this, there was a small and fragmented voice on the other end of the phone, about Chen Su gave him the phone, and Yi Jin's voice came from the other end of the phone.
He fed in a cold voice.
I thought about it. I am now asking him, so my voice is inevitably more polite, and I say, "Hello, Mr. Yi." β
He didn't seem too lazy to listen to my flattery, but asked directly, "Is there something wrong?"
I said, "Did Yu Zhenghe call you?"
There was a sound of paper flipping over there, and he didn't answer immediately, but was silent for a few seconds and said, "Well, is there a problem?"
"You didn't tell him that I left the city, did you?" I asked cautiously.
He said, "I'm not a good liar. β
I said, "What do you mean?"
Yi Jin said: "It's just that I told him truthfully, you are not in the city, why is it wrong?"
I clenched my fists. It took a lot of effort to suppress the anger in my heart, and I sneered and said, "It's nothing, just be happy, just because I haven't made this call." β
The next second, when I was about to hang up the phone, Yi Jin said on the other end of the phone: "I advise you to return to the market in the next few days." At this point, he added, "Of course, it's your freedom to listen or not." β
Then there was a series of beeps on the other end of the phone, and I glanced at my phone a little strangely, thinking about what Yi Jin meant by this, but I didn't have time to think about it yet. Shi Jie's phone called, and he asked me where I was.
I told him I was in the apartment, and he listened on the phone, and even said, "I'm coming for you." β
After we hung up the phone, I was still a little unsure whether Yi Jin had told Yu Zhenghe about me and not being in the city, but I thought that if he really told Yu Zhenghe, Yu Zhenghe would have called me immediately, but it would not have been silent for a long time, and I believe that Yi Jin would not really do it. No matter how bad our relationship is now, he should know that his actions are undoubtedly putting me to death.
Thinking of this, I relaxed a little, and not long after, Shi Jie came to my apartment, and he told me that he had a very clear understanding of the case of Li Luo's parents, and then he gave me a piece of paper, on which were written the names of four people, one was Li Luo's father, and the other was Li Luo's mother. plus Li Luo's aunt, and Li Guoping's classmate who was suspected of bribery.
I didn't quite understand why Shi Jie gave me this note, so I looked at him puzzled.
After Shi Jie took the note from my hand, he drew a red circle on the names of Li Luo's aunt and Li Guoping's classmates with a pen, and he said: "I found a very abnormal relationship, Li Luo's aunt Peng Shuang and Li Guoping's classmates, Chai Jitai is a lover.
I frowned and asked, "What did you say?"
Shi Jie didn't speak, and took out a photo from another bag and handed it to me, I don't recognize it as Li Luo's aunt, but I have seen Li Luo's mother, her aunt is a little younger than Li Luo's mother, her face is almost the same as her sister's.
In the photo, Peng Shuang and a man are holding hands shopping for baby goods. The man was labeled, it was Chai Jitai.
Shi Jie said: " Peng Shuang and Chai Jitai were lovers, but the man was twenty-four years old when the woman was twenty-four, but he didn't know why he married someone else, and the person who had been dating for two years broke up, Peng Shuang met Chai Jitai again when he was thirty years old, and the two have maintained an underground relationship since then, this relationship has been maintained for more than ten years, and this mansion worth 100 million yuan was given to Peng Shuang by Chai Jitai in the process, this house stayed in Peng's hands for a while, because of the divorce with her husband, the house was transferred from Peng's hands to her sister Peng Qiangγ β
I don't know why Shi Jie told me about this relationship, even if Chai Jitai and Peng Shuang are lovers, but what does this have to do with this case?
The next second, Shi Jie said again: "One of these four people is lying. β
I looked at Shi Jie in confusion.
Shi Jie pasted the photos of Li Luo's parents, Peng Shuang and Chai Jitai on the wall one by one and said: "There is a big problem here, I met Li Guoping today, including his wife Peng Qiang, Li Guoping's wife is not at all like a greedy person, I asked her about the whole process of receiving bribes, and in this process, she has been repeatedly emphasizing to me. The house was indeed received by her, she got the house from Chai Jitai through her sister without Li Guoping, I asked her if she had a phone call with Chai Jitai when she was collecting this mansion, Peng Qiang made it through, but asked her what the content of the call was, she told me that she didn't remember. β
Hearing this, I felt as if I had found a thread, but I was afraid that I would guess wrong, so I asked directly, "So what do you want to say?"
Shi Jie said directly: "Peng Qiang is lying." β
One reaction to his words shocked me was to deny his statement, it can be said that anyone lies, but it will not be Li Luo's mother, Peng Qiang, Li Guoping and Peng Qiang are husband and wife, and the relationship between the two has always been very good, otherwise when I see Li Guoping, he will not even care about his own safety, let me take his wife Peng Qiang first, even if Peng Qiang's feelings are not as deep as Li Guoping's for her, but it will not kill him.
If Peng Qiang is lying, this is a completely absurd assumption.
But I didn't say what I thought, but continued to look at Shi Jie.
Shi Jie said: " At first, I didn't dare to doubt this, because Peng Shuang is not an ignorant woman, she knows very clearly that Li Guoping and corruption are related, it must be a catastrophe, and it is not difficult to see that their relationship is very good, because in the process of our conversation, Peng Qiang has been trying to get rid of Li Guoping, so it is impossible for her to harm Li Guoping, but it is precisely because of this that Peng Qiang lied, she is not an ignorant woman, or a graduate of a famous university, the reason why she dares to ignore Li Guoping's life and death, biting herself and indeed accepting bribes, and not in a hurry to get rid of it, is because she knows it well, If Li Guoping is in a state of ignorance of the whole thing, and everything has nothing to do with him, then the case will be sentenced, and Li Guoping will be imprisoned for several years, or Li Guoping will be acquitted and lose his official position, and after Li Guoping is left out, everything will come to her, she does not clear herself, but is eager to put everything on herself. If that's the case, Xiao Fan, think about it, do you think it's normal?"
After Shi Jie's analysis, I gradually felt that something was not normal, for Shi Jie's description just now, Li Luo's mother Peng Qiang is completely in a state of being ready to die at any time to face all this, and is anxious to wait for all this.
This is not a normal person's thinking, normal people are thinking about how to live, but she is thinking about how to die, is there something hidden in her body that cannot be known?
When Shi Jie saw my expression change, he knew that I had thought of coming up with him.
Shi Jie stretched out his hand and directly ripped Li Guoping's photo off the wall, leaving only the photos of Peng Qiang, Peng Shuang and Chai Jitai on the wall.
Shi Jie's red pen fell on Peng Shuang's photo, and even highlighted it on her photo, he said: " At that time, I also met Peng Shuang, although the time was very short, but everything was enough, we met I only asked her a few words, the first sentence, whether all this is her sister instructed her to take over the mansion, when Peng Shuang answered me, hesitated slightly, she even said a word with a little heart, but at that moment I felt that she lied, her heart was very inexplicable, at this time, whether it is sisterly affection or something else, it is not as important as personal life, she seems to be the most innocent person in this whole matter, when I asked her this sentence, she can tell me the whole process of the conversation between the two sisters at the beginning, just like what I asked Peng Qiang before, she couldn't answer, she didn't even want to mention it, and she didn't promise Peng Qiang to accept bribes. It can be seen that the person who lied in this is not only Peng Qiang alone, but also Peng Shuang, why did the two sisters do this?"
Shi Jie's pen finally fell on Chai Jitai, and he said: "Maybe the answer can be found from him, among these four people, only Li Guoping is telling the truth, and the other three are lying." β
I frowned and said, "That is, something must have happened between these three people, and others don't know." β
Shi Jie nodded and said: "I have a bold guess, the reason why Peng Qiang took everything on himself may be to protect his sister, after all, after she took everything on herself, she pushed her sister away again, after all, Peng Qiang is just a person in the middle, and the sentence of the case is only a sentence of several years, or a few months, no one can say." β
When Shi Jie said this, he paused slightly and added: "Of course, I'm just guessing like this at the moment, and no one knows exactly what it is." β
I didn't expect that there were so many mysteries hidden in this, but to confirm that Shi Jie's words were true, that is, one of the three of them had to tell the truth.
I asked Shi Jie: "Then what should we do now, if things are really as we said, but they don't cooperate with us, we bystanders can only do it on the sidelines, they don't trust us, since there is something hidden, they will definitely not say it." β
Shi Jie said: "So the main thing we do now is to find a breakthrough from the three of them, and among the three people, Peng Qiang's attitude is the most resolute, but I think she is the best breakthrough, because there is Li Luo, children are always the biggest weakness, Li Luo to talk to Peng Qiang, maybe there will be hope." β
I frowned and said, "But I don't know where he is now." β
I didn't expect that at the critical time, I couldn't find any of the people I should be looking for, since Li Luo left last time, we have lost contact, whether I call him, or leave him a message on the communication tool on the Internet, it will always be like a black hole, swallowing up the messages I sent, but he has no response at all.
Shi Jie said: "So now your task is to find Li Luo, and as soon as possible, this kind of thing can't be delayed for too long." β
