We met Mr. Liu at the door of the Dongcheng Branch.

She wears a light black casual suit and a white peak-collar shirt, which is very fashionable for international business.

This well-known barrister who specializes in criminal cases in Chu Qingchuan's mouth is actually a chic and capable woman.

Her makeup was light but her eyebrows were delicate, and her amber eyes were just staring at me, giving me the illusion that I was about to be seen through. Especially those sharp thin lips, I think they must have been sharpened into this because they can speak easily.

This woman is not a thing in the pool.

When Lawyer Liu saw us, he greeted Chu Qingchuan very familiarly, and then stretched out his hand.

I held it, and it was a slender but warm hand.

"Hello, Sunshine. "Lawyer Liu handed me her business card.

"Hello, Lawyer Liu. "I took it and saw her full name, Liu Yixian.

"As his name suggests, Mr. Liu is definitely a front-line fighter in the legal field. "Chu Qingchuan still has time to joke at this time, I think the relationship between the two of them should be good.

"Mr. Chu, it's over. I'm going to talk to my client. Lawyer Liu smiled, revealing excellent professionalism.

"Please. After Chu Qingchuan finished speaking, he looked at me: "Jiaoyang, try to tell Lawyer Liu all the details." ”

I nodded and said yes, but Lawyer Liu teased him: "I didn't expect that Mr. Chu would also be so attentive?"

"Of course, my woman can't go out of the way. Chu Qingchuan replied bluntly, and my expression was stunned.

Lawyer Liu laughed heartily, and she explained to me like a friend: "Don't get me wrong, Qingchuan and I used to be classmates in the military academy, and we have a good relationship. However, after graduating, there was no connection. After all, there were so many girls chasing him back then, so it was better for me to stay away from him. ”

After she finished speaking, she glanced at Chu Qingchuan with bad intentions, and Chu Qingchuan had an indifferent face.

"Not long ago, I reunited unexpectedly because of a case, who would have thought that in the past few days, he would have become my client. So, that's fate. Don't worry, whether you've done it or haven't done it, there's nothing to be afraid of. Lawyer Liu's last sentence was originally a confident expression, but I felt numb in my back when I heard it.

The certainty in her tone was by no means unfounded, it was clearly a self-affirmation after a hundred battles.

Chu Qingchuan said before that her winning rate is far ahead in the industry, and I thought to myself that it is good that she has her own principles when she takes on the case, otherwise her existence is really a threat to law and social justice.

But it also shows that her professional abilities are top-notch.

The profession of a lawyer is actually quite not easy, and many times you have to face the torture of ideals and human nature.

I told Lawyer Liu about the memories I told Chu Qingchuan before. Then she asked me what I thought, and I answered truthfully.

"At the moment, the police evidence is not sufficient to convict the offender. But if you do what you say, it's very likely that the murderer will turn the attention of the police to you after he realizes that there is an opportunity to use or retaliate against you. Even if Harukawa hadn't raised suspicions with the police before, you wouldn't have been spared. Lawyer Liu analyzed.

Chu Qingchuan and I agreed with her remarks.

"The inducements to kill are nothing more than entanglement killing, revenge killing, purposeless killing, and passion killing. The deceased Han Lu suffered from a mental illness before, and I do not rule out that she had a disordered mind before her death, and what she said was not credible. So, I think suicide is also possible. "Lawyer Liu has entered the state of work.

"It's very unlikely. Chu Qingchuan obviously still insisted on his original idea.

I remembered what he said before that Han Lu's condition was serious again.

In fact, I agree with Mr. Liu's second point of view in my heart.

Since we had already been out for a long time, we didn't continue the discussion, and the three of us walked into the police station together.

Officer Zhang probably didn't expect me to bring a lawyer, so he was stunned at first, and then politely and kindly let me and Lawyer Liu into the room, while Chu Qingchuan stayed outside and waited.

As soon as he entered the house, Officer Zhang said to Lawyer Liu: "Sister-in-law, you have been involved in a lot of cases recently, and you have been here three times this week." ”

As he spoke, he poured us two cups of tea and brought them over.

Lawyer Liu didn't answer, but just glanced at Officer Zhang.

Officer Zhang smiled, his eyes dodged, and he said that he was too talkative.

I feel more and more that this lawyer Liu is unfathomable.

Looking at Officer Zhang's attitude, is it possible that her husband is a figure in the police department?

No wonder my breath was so loud just now! Someone has a background and feels comfortable!

I seem to have forgotten the embarrassment of my situation because I am so confident.

It wasn't until Officer Zhang began questioning me that I returned to my sober reality.

I told him with great certainty that I wouldn't have spent more than three or five minutes in the bathroom at all, and that I couldn't have been as long as he had said.

However, he indifferently told me that the results of the police department's criminal investigation of the video had just come out, and the video had not been edited or tampered with in the later stage, which was a real first-hand information.

"However, we are investigating the cause of the anomaly in the middle of the video. Officer Zhang added.

"As a person concerned, please respect our right to know. Lawyer Liu's tone is unmistakable.

Officer Zhang didn't embarrass us, so he turned the laptop in front of him and pushed it in front of me.

The video was a bit blurry, and I thought it might be because the camera was dirty, but it didn't prevent me from recognizing myself and Han Lu.

I dragged it back, and just over three minutes later, there were snowflakes in the picture, followed by a brief period of darkness, and then the hallway outside the bathroom again.

At this moment, my back appeared at the door of the bathroom, and the time in the upper left corner suddenly changed to twelve minutes later.

Because of the angle of the camera, the person who comes out can only take pictures of the back.

"Officer Zhang, is there really no problem with your criminal investigation techniques?" Lawyer Liu's words were obvious.

It's all like this, and you don't think someone is doing it? That's suspicious!

The snowflakes and darkness that appeared out of thin air, as well as the sudden fast-forward time, were obviously loopholes.

Officer Zhang pouted: "As Lawyer Liu said, you can see the fault, and we are not blind, but the law is about evidence." Our expert technicians identified the video and concluded that there was no sign of human editing.

According to preliminary inferences, the cables were cut off outside the hotel due to pipeline repairs, resulting in a temporary power outage. The hotel's backup power supply system was activated, so the picture was unstable, but theoretically this had no effect on the time. ”

I asked him, in this way, are all the people who appear at this point in time suspicious characters?

He was about to answer when there was a knock on the door of the confession room.

Someone pushed the door open, and I saw a familiar face.

Lin Yuan! I suddenly felt stable! Even though he didn't say anything, he didn't do anything.

"Sister, you?" he looked at me, and his expression became very helpless.

I gave him the same look: "It's me." ”

"Haha! So it's you!" his sudden schadenfreude made me wonder.

After that, he looked at Officer Zhang and said, "Sir Zhang, it's all your own people, there's nothing to avoid, anyway, the reason is clear." This time is indeed wrong, and it is a system problem. The power outage caused the server host connected to the backup power supply system to start, because the hotel's backup server is not often activated, so the time setting is wrong, ten minutes ahead of the network time, just like an inaccurate mechanical watch is running faster and faster, causing the time misalignment in the video.

Sister, did you say that you have fallen home? This time it is not that someone is harming you, but that the sky is going to kill you. Thank me!"

After listening to Lin Yuan's explanation, I really have nothing to love.

So since this pot came from the sky, does it mean that Han Lu really committed suicide?

After listening to Lin Yuan's statement, Officer Zhang's expression immediately became a little unnatural.

I guess he's also afraid, and if he's not careful, he may get an unjust, false and wrongful case.

Because of the facts of the case, Lin Yuan did not continue to stay after speaking, and when he left, he gestured to me and contacted me by phone.

After recording what I saw in the bathroom, Officer Zhang said thank you for your cooperation and I could leave.

I asked him if there was any possibility of continuing the investigation into the case.

He hesitated for a moment, saying that judging from the current evidence, suicide is the most likely, and if nothing else, the case will be closed soon.

"But, the deceased's phone hasn't been whereabouts yet, is it?" I asked.

"We have retrieved the call records from the network service provider, and the attribution number of the last call did not have a real name, and there was no answer after the call. This is the only point of doubt in this case, but if the clue is interrupted here, the girl's testimony alone will not explain the problem. Officer Zhang patiently stated.

I looked at Lawyer Liu, and her noncommittal look made me understand that the original case handling was not as simple as it was in anime and film and television.

When he walked out of the exit room, Chu Qingchuan was already waiting at the door.

I smiled and told him that it was okay, it was very oolong, and then told him the ins and outs, and he was silent after listening.

I suspect that he may not be able to accept the fact that Han Lu committed suicide.

Sure enough, before saying goodbye to Lawyer Liu, he asked her to help get all the videos of the day of the crime outside the bathroom.

Lawyer Liu and I looked at each other, and since he was so insistent, let him convince himself.

Lawyer Liu told him to wait for news tonight, and then said goodbye and left.

At this time, Sister Meng's phone came in and asked where Chu Qingchuan was?

Since the plane is turned on, I think people should have arrived at the airport.

I gave Chu Qingchuan a look and asked him to leave quickly.

Chu Qingchuan told Sister Meng that she was recording a statement at the police station and would go over immediately.

When he hung up, he looked at me in a secretive light.

I naturally knew that it was not suitable to go to see Sister Meng now, so I took the initiative to speak: "I haven't seen Uncle Yang and Aunt Yang for a long time, and tonight is just to help Yang take care of the second elder." ”

Chu Qingchuan's gaze locked on me, and then a kiss fell, with some reluctance, as soft as a feather.

I hugged his broad, straight back, smiled and took his arm to the side of the road, where he flagged down a taxi for me.

When I got into the car, I waved at him, and he watched me leave before walking back to his car.

I saw in the rearview mirror that he had lit a cigarette and was smoking fiercely.

The silhouette of the man who gradually faded away was deeply seared in my mind.

Thinking back on his performance that day, I feel tired for him from the bottom of my heart. Han Lu, Xiaoxiao, Sister Meng, and me, did he set aside a little time for himself?

When he saw the first scene of Han Lu's fall, what was his mood at that time?

I shook my head twice, expelled these meaningless questions, and was about to call Yang Buregret, but Lin Fei's call reminder appeared on the screen.

"Jiaoyang, where are you?, why haven't you replied to my WeChat for a day?" Her cheerful voice came, and the background was a noisy but happy-sounding human voice.

I was stunned for a moment, told her that she was busy today, and that she didn't bother to see it> and she didn't dwell on the topic anymore, and then happily asked me to hurry over to find them.

"Who?" I asked subconsciously.

"Didn't I tell you last time?!Big surprise, come on!" Lin Fei was full of interest, and it would probably be very disappointing for me to refuse at this time.

But now at this juncture, I'm really not in the mood to socialize: "Lin Fei, it's really hard today, I'm ......"

A loud male voice rang on the other side of the phone, and I tried to recall, and finally remembered that this was Fan Xing, the president of our hip-hop dance club! He was also Lin Fei's classmate.

At this time, other familiar voices sounded one after another, and although I couldn't remember them all, I knew that Lin Fei was with a college classmate.

Although the two of us are not in the same house or grade, we have some mutual friends because of our closer relationship later.

Together, they arched me on the other end of the phone, saying that I wasn't going to be buddy enough.

Lin Fei told me that she was in a hurry to return to China this time, and she was in a meeting all day.

Everyone specially set the day of the party for her tonight, and tomorrow she will take the earliest flight back to Germany.

I had to say yes, to be honest, I didn't really want to see anyone else except Fan Xing.

I'm not very willing to spend energy to maintain unnecessary relationships, and the circle of friends is classified as ordinary friends except for ferromagnetism, and the feelings are not deep.

Anyway, Lin Fei introduced Zhou Wenhan to me before, which helped me a lot, and I couldn't save her face with her classmates.

When I arrived at the hotel, there were already a mess of cups and plates on the table.

They couldn't help but say, let me punish myself with three glasses first.

Lin Fei excused me with a smile, saying that I was too busy to see WeChat, and blamed her for not calling to inform me.

Her cheeks were crimson, she looked like she had drunk a lot of wine, her misty eyes were a little more spring-like, and her face was like a peach blossom.

"I'll go to the bathroom first. "I wanted to accompany her, but I was stopped by my classmates in the back.

"Why did the sun leave as soon as it came? After graduating for so many years, it was the first time you saw each other, is it reasonable to say that you don't drink a drop of alcohol? I heard that you are now the editor of the media giant AC, and you know a lot of celebrities, right? Do you have any gossip to share? "The male classmate who spoke had a pseudo-literary atmosphere, and I had forgotten his name.

The most annoying thing is that this kind of relationship is obviously shallow, and it pretends to be very familiar with you, and it sounds good to call it informal, but to put it bluntly, it is rude.

"That's it, Jiaoyang, what about your husband? Why didn't our Mr. Xiaocao come over? As soon as the news of your marriage came out, we all went crazy in the group! You are the realistic version of inspirational Cinderella! How many of us are envious!"

"Lingling, don't you know that Jiaoyang is single now? With our Jiaoyang's conditions, it is not difficult to find another diamond king. Look at Meghan, she married a prince in her second marriage, isn't it!"

"That's it! It's not a problem at all! Blazing Sun, what do you think of me?" a male classmate took the opportunity to heckle.

"Okay, don't say a word. When the calm and powerful male voice sounded, the scene was suddenly silent.

I followed the voice and looked, and sure enough, it was Fan Xing.

His appearance is still so outstanding, but the temperament of the whole person is much more mature and stable than before.

It's really hard for me to associate the big boy with developed motor cells and ADHD with the big guy in front of me who is thriving in the medical device and health care products industry.

"Hey, I forgot that Mr. Fan was here. The talkative man just now looked at me and raised an eyebrow at the other classmates.

"Sunshine, long time no see. Fan Xing walked up to me with a smile in his eyes.

I smiled and said, "Hello President!"

"Haha! little girl!" Fan Xing reached out and touched my head, and the crowd erupted in laughter and whistles.

I ignored them, remembering that in the past, he would rub my sweat-soaked hair every time he finished dancing, and he didn't think it was a big deal.

Why do you want to change yourself because of this group of inconsequential people? Obviously, there is no ambiguous move, but you have to regress because of other people's colored glasses?

"Since you're so happy, let's switch to the scene! The sun is late, Mr. Fan has a treat for supper!"

"That's it, Jiaoyang and everyone will reminisce about the old days, don't forget that today is Mr. Fan's birthday. ”

"Why didn't you say it earlier?!"

"What's the use of saying it earlier, it's the most effective when the sun comes!"

I was stunned and said apologetically to Fan Xing, "President, I'm sorry, I didn't prepare a gift. ”

Fan Xing smiled faintly and said, "Since you said so, then go back and make up for me." ”

"You're still the same as before, you're pretty thick-skinned. "I was influenced by him, and the way I got along with each other became the same as before.

At this time, Lin Fei also came back, and when he heard everyone say that he was transferred, he asked me if it was okay?

I said senior's birthday, if it doesn't work, it has to be done.

"I'm sorry Sunshine, I didn't know you were so busy today. When they organized the event, they asked me who I was still in contact with, and after I told you about you, Fan Xing took the initiative to ask me to invite you here, and he said that he wanted to meet you. However, he won't let me tell you this, but the relationship between the two of us is definitely closer than that of him, and you can hold it for me. Lin Fei pulled me aside and whispered to me.

"Well, no problem. I agreed, without much thought.

Led by a male classmate who usually loves to play, we came to a KTV with a buffet supper.

They chose an oversized VIP luxury bag, and the waiter brought in the buffet tray one after another and put it on the bar on one side, and then brought in all kinds of foreign wine and pure raw food.

Under the guise of Fan Xing's birthday, they had a lot of fun and opened a lot of wine.

Because I was really hungry, I chose to sit silently in the corner and eat, and find an excuse to slip away.

Anyway, today is the day Han Lu leaves, I shouldn't appear on this occasion, I'm still thinking about Chu Qingchuan's side, Sister Meng must be very angry, right?

At this time, Lin Fei sat down, pinned the hair scattered on the side of my face behind my ear, and asked me what was wrong with concern, as if I was not in good spirits.

I looked at her apricot-like eyes and asked her, "Do you know Han Lu?"

She thought for a moment and asked, "Who is it?"

"Didn't you tell me before that Chu Qingchuan has a fiancée and a daughter, so you don't know that his sister's name is Han Lu?" I thought she knew, and seeing her reaction, I recalled, it seems that she really didn't mention Han Lu before.

"No, I haven't seen his sister. What's wrong?" Lin Fei asked blankly.

"Well, it's fine. Just ask. I didn't go on.

As if she wanted to remember something, she rummaged through her pocket and pulled out a capsule.

"I learned from Wen Han that your mental state is not very good, how is it now? Is it better? You can rest assured, he will not reveal it to me, I am more worried about you, and I will ask him about the progress of your treatment. "Lin Fei was afraid that I would misunderstand, and explained the ins and outs in detail.

I felt that she was just caring about me, and she was still silently concerned about my condition behind the scenes.

After the summit, I went to Zhou Wenhan for one last treatment.

I refused hypnosis, but told him that the little girl was gone, and he took notes and said congratulations.

"It's all right, thank you, Lin Fei. "I sincerely thank her.

"Sunny day, I came to attend the academic symposium this time, and the experts exchanged the latest medical results. This is a health care drug to relieve mental stress, there are no side effects, I see you are a little sluggish, give you a pill. I usually use it myself, so I always have it with me. Lin Fei handed me the capsule in his hand.

I looked at the little thing, which was a little bigger than the common cold medicine, and asked her, "Did you eat it?"

She laughed, "Your foodie nature is really hard to shake. This one is not for eating, so it is safer. Come, close your eyes and listen to my commands. ”

I hesitated a little after hearing this, but she felt it, and still smiled and said, "Why can't you believe me, are you afraid that I will harm you?"

"No, I'm fine, I don't need medication. "I remembered that Chu Qingchuan said to me before, don't rely on medicine. Besides, I'm a little unhappy, but I don't want to use this thing to regulate my mood.

"Then I'll use it myself, I've opened half of such an expensive thing, don't waste it. She looked at me helplessly, and made a gesture to put it in front of her.

I apologized and hurriedly said, "Then I'll try it, it's your heart after all, thank you." ”

Two charming smiles appeared at the corners of her mouth: "It's about the same, my sister didn't hurt you in vain." ”

At the same time, she put the capsule under my nose and quickly opened it, a sweet smell rushed into my nose, and I reflexively twitched the wings of my nose and sniffed it.

"Is it a fragrance?" I savored.

"Smells good, right?" Lin Fei asked with a smile.

I nodded and said it was sweet.

"The benefits are yet to come, don't worry. Lin Fei explained.

"Hey, where have you two been hiding and whispering? When you're done, hurry up and play some games! Blazing Sun, you are the youngest of all of us, why do you have to show it today? It's not difficult for you to be in the hotel just now. "Someone noticed me and Lin Fei and shifted the focus.

I thought I might as well take this opportunity to have a drink and go home under the pretext that I had something to do, so I got up and walked over to the huge coffee table.

"President, then I will toast you, I wish you a beautiful woman around your knees and soaring!" I picked up a bottle of freshly opened pure raw and signaled to Fan Xing.

Fan Xing raised his lips and smiled, stretched out his right hand and pressed it on my wrist, and took the wine bottle in my hand and held it in his hand: "I don't dare to drink your toast." ”

"Mr. Fan, do you dare not drink, or are you reluctant to drink?" As soon as the words in the crowd fell, a burst of laughter immediately erupted.
