Smith thought for a moment, shook his head, and said, "Let's find out for ourselves first." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info I don't really believe in the police system here. ”

Two other lawyers seconded.

"We don't know each other well here, and we are here to sue the German police system and government departments on behalf of our clients, so I think it's better not to call the police for the time being, so as not to misunderstand and make things all over the city. Smith shook his finger, "Well, let's go to the hotel first and ask for the surveillance footage of the past ten days to see if we can find anything." ”

They revealed their identity as lawyers and asked for surveillance footage from the Hilton.

Although the management of the Hilton Hotel was reluctant, for the sake of the face of the largest law firm in the United States, they still copied the surveillance video of the hotel gate and back door in the past ten days as a human favor.

These surveillance footage does not involve the privacy of customers, and it is okay to show them it.

But only the surveillance video outside the gate was given, and the four people were of course not satisfied.

What if Gu Nianzhi was harmed by someone inside the hotel?

This is not unprecedented, for example, a very famous case that happened in New York, USA a few years ago, a young woman suddenly disappeared, and was finally found naked and died in a cistern on the roof of the hotel where she lived, the cistern was two meters high, and it was covered with a very heavy cement cover, and it took several strong men to lift the cement cover, but it was judged as "suicide" by the New York police......

These four people are all relatively well-known lawyers in the United States, because they have seen too much chaos within the police, and they do not blindly trust the ability of the police.

And Gu Nianzhi's sudden disappearance at this moment is too subtle, and they can't believe the German police.

Smith said to the Hilton hotel's security director with a cold face: "If our colleague has an accident inside your hotel, can you afford this responsibility?!—I can guarantee that if she really suffers misfortune here, your Hilton Hotel will not be able to open in the world!"

The security director of the Hilton Hotel had a red and white face, glared at these imposing lawyers, and finally reluctantly asked his boss.

In order to calm the situation, Hilton's senior management specially agreed to make a copy of the surveillance video of the corridors on each floor of the hotel for the four American lawyers to see.

With surveillance footage from inside and outside the hotel, Smith and the others were confident that nothing would be missed, so the four of them assigned a portion of the tape and got to work overnight.

Everyone watched intently all night, and their eyes turned red, but they only saw Gu Nianzhi leaving the hotel early in the morning ten days ago.

But they could see clearly that she had left the hotel in their business car!

Since that departure, she has not been seen back.

The time she left also matched the last time her keycard was used.

Smith's spirits lifted a little, and he immediately called the driver of their business charter car, pretending to be in a hurry, and asked him to come to the hotel immediately, saying that he had something important to ask for help, and the price was different.

The chauffeur was so happy that he arrived at the Hilton Hotel where they were staying within five minutes.

Smith invited him to the small conference room in the hotel room, quietly turned on the mobile phone video recording, and asked him as if unintentionally: "...... Did you send Lawyer Gu out 10 days ago?

The driver hurriedly said, "Oh, yes, I remember, Lawyer Gu said that she was going to Königssee to see a friend, and asked me to send her there, which is about two hours away from Munich." ”

After the driver finished speaking, without waiting for Smith to continue asking him, he said, "How did Lawyer Gu come back? Did she call another car? She said that she would only stay for one day, and call me when she came back in the evening, and I waited for her there for two days, and she didn't call, did she have too much fun and forgot to go home?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the driver realized that he had said the wrong thing, and immediately changed his words: "Oh, no, it's ten days, I forgot, it's ten ......days," he said, squinting slyly to avoid Smith's gaze.

He was very remorseful in his heart, and after so many days, these lawyers asked him about the situation at that time, and as soon as he was excited, he forgot what the man had told him to say and told the truth!

Fortunately, he still remembers to remedy, and I hope these people don't care about his slip of the tongue.

"Ten days, or one day?!" Smith crossed his arms and looked at the driver with a frown.

"After all this time, how can I remember it so clearly?" The driver was very cunning and asked cautiously, "Is Lawyer Gu back?"

"If she comes back, will we ask you again?" Smith glared at him, "Think about it, is Lawyer Gu telling you one day, or ten days?!"

When the driver heard that Gu Nianzhi didn't come back, he was also a little scared, weighed it again, gritted his teeth and told the truth: "...... It seems like a day, yes, it should be a day. Really, if you don't believe it, you can ask her. ”

After listening to this, the four lawyers were all "......"

No way?

First of all, Gu Nianzhi's text message to them said that she was going out for ten days, but she personally told the driver that there was only one day, and she also said that she would go back in the evening and would call him to pick her up!

Whether it is ten days or one day, this is the first contradiction.

Then after losing the news, Gu Nianzhi's phone couldn't get through.

From the constant transfer of voicemail, to the end "the phone is not in the service area".

Unusual, so unusual.

In the evening, the four of them met in Smith's room, their faces grim.

Although they were very reluctant to admit it, they still had to admit that Gu Nianzhi should be missing.

It's definitely not that I'm lost, but who's way!

Whose word can it be?

Gu Nianzhi was a citizen of the Chinese Empire and came to Germany to fight lawsuits.

If you say that you offend people, then there is only Seth's lawless earth emperor!

The four of them glanced at each other, and they all saw what everyone meant from each other's eyes.

Although the lawyer only represents the client in a lawsuit and has no direct interest in the other party, because being a lawyer is directly linked to the law, it is too capable of attracting hatred, so it is common for the defendant to harm the plaintiff's lawyer, or the plaintiff to the defendant's lawyer.

"Is it the Seth family? His stepfather, York, was not a good stubble. A lawyer said coldly, "We have investigated his background, and it is definitely not clean." ”

"Don't forget, Seth also ran away. Although the hospital reported it nine days ago, that's when they found him on the run. If you push the time of his official escape forward a little, it may coincide with the time of Lawyer Gu's disappearance. Smith shuddered at the first thought of this possibility.

Not because of anything else, but because when he and Gu Nianzhi went to the hospital to see the seriously injured Seth that day, Seth's eyes staring at Gu Nianzhi were really abnormal......

"Ahh

What kind of scumbag Seth is, no one knows better than their team of lawyers who know the details of Li Haiqing's case......

"Call Lawyer Ho first. Tell him clearly before calling the police. Smith rubbed the corners of his forehead, "I can't delay it any longer, there is no news of Lawyer Gu until now, I am very worried......"

What they are worried about, everyone looks at each other, and they all know it, but no one dares to say that possibility, as if as soon as they say it, their worries will come true.

And as long as you don't say it, Gu Nianzhi will be safe.

Everyone prayed in their hearts, hoping that such a desperate and terrifying thing would not happen to Gu Nianzhi......

Although they don't have much personal friendship with Gu Nianzhi, they have been very compatible in business for more than a month, and they also appreciate this hard-working and smart female lawyer of the Chinese Empire, and they really can't stand her accidents.

"Even the lawyers dare to move! I think the German judicial system is really not ordinary black!"

After the four of them finished discussing, Smith called He Chuchu on the spot.

But he dialed He Chuchu's number for an hour, and what he got was always his voicemail message!

The other three people were very surprised, and they also took out their mobile phones one after another and dialed He Chuchu's number.

His personal mobile phone, work mobile phone, work phone, and even the phone number of the professor's building of University B of the Chinese Empire have been dialed, and none of the calls have really gotten through, they are all voicemail!

Smith glared at his phone and muttered, "...... Didn't you say you went home? Where did you go back? Antarctic, or Arctic? I didn't answer the phone, ......."

"Forget it, Smith. Several colleagues comforted him, "Isn't it the same when we are on vacation? ”

This is called a vacation, otherwise why should you take a vacation? Isn't it better to work overtime directly?

A lawyer also added: "Besides, Barrister He said that he will be back in two weeks at the latest, and there are still four days to be two weeks, and we will see it then." ”

Smith made sense to think about it, but Gu Nianzhi's matter couldn't wait any longer.

"So be it. Smith hesitated for a moment, "We still have to call the police, and besides, Lawyer Gu is a citizen of the Huaxia Empire, and if something happens to her, we have to notify their embassy." ”

If Gu Nianzhi was an American citizen, they would have found the US Embassy a long time ago, but unfortunately she was not, so they had to find the Chinese Imperial Embassy in Munich.

Several people discussed the order of precedence, and finally decided that they would split into two groups and go out at the same time.

One dialed to call the police, and the other dialed the Chinese Imperial Embassy in Munich to report the news.

Smith had a lot of dealings with the police, and he and another lawyer went to the police station to call the police.

There were also two lawyers who knew a little Chinese, so they went to the embassy of the Chinese Empire in Munich.

……

"What are you talking about? Your lawyer is missing?!" the police officer in charge of missing persons cases at the Munich police department looked at Smith and his colleagues with a look of "you seem to be teasing me".

Smith had been at the Munich Regional Police Station a few days ago about Seth's escape from the hospital, urging them to send someone to arrest the fugitive, and everyone here was familiar with him.

Some policemen understood and sympathized with him, while others hated him and thought that he was here to interfere with their work, and their accusations discredited the German policemen and were unkind to him.

Now that they saw him come to report the crime, several policemen continued to make things difficult for them with a sense of schadenfreude.

Smith was so angry with them that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven, but there was no way to do it.

"Missing? Do you think it's so easy to file a case for a disappearance? If she's a minor and loses contact for 24 hours, she can indeed report her missing, but unfortunately, she's over eighteen years old and an adult, so ......" The Munich regional police officer refused to accept Smith's report in an official tone.

Smith sneered, propped his hands on the policeman's desk, looked directly into his cloudy gray eyes, and said word by word: "Oh? Now you think that eighteen years old is an adult? Then why is the son of your fellow director still called a minor at the age of 21? Your German law, doesn't it say that you are an adult at the age of 22? You tell me, am I fighting a fake lawsuit! Or is your Germany a fake law!"

In terms of playing lip service and breaking the letter of the law, how can this policeman be the opponent of the elite lawyers in the United States?

The policeman was so red from Smith's slap that he couldn't get off the stage for a while, so he slammed the table viciously and said, "I said that she is an adult! As for the lawsuit you are fighting, ask the judge! What is my business?!"

"That's right...... Maybe the disappearance is just a misunderstanding, your colleagues are already practicing lawyers, as for coming to report the case in such a hurry?" the policeman's colleague was also beside him to help, "Also, the case of disappearance can only be reported by immediate family members, which of you is her immediate family?"

Seeing these arrogant lawyers in the courtroom deflated, the policemen's hearts were still dark.

Too often, the suspects the police have worked so hard to catch have been exonerated by clever lawyers and cannot be convicted.

But they don't want to think about it, and the lawyer has also helped the police and the prosecution a lot to help them convict the suspect.

It can only be said that some people only remember the bad things that others treat them, and the good things they do to themselves are completely forgotten by them.

Smith was blocked back by the police, he is not a vegetarian, he pushed the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose with his hand, and he said solemnly: "Just because you say that my colleague is already an adult, there is no need for an immediate family member to report the crime about her." I think you are also talking about it, and any legal provisions are bullshit to you. When you need to use it for prevarication, just grab one and come out, and don't care if your own words are contradictory or not!"

"Huh, reason with us, don't you know that we are police, are we violent law enforcement agencies, not reasonable agencies?!" The policemen in the office rolled their eyes in unison, "If you want to be reasonable, go to the courtroom." - The door is over there, so I can't send it away!"

"How can you do this?!We obey the law and follow the legal process to report the crime, and you have such an attitude?!" Smith slapped the table hard, "Have you thought about the consequences?"

"What are the consequences? We are also law-abiding and act in accordance with legal procedures. The law has never said that a colleague can be reported as an immediate family member!"

Smith and his colleagues had to leave angrily and find another way.

……

The other two lawyers who went to report to the Imperial Chinese Embassy in Munich were treated much better than Smith and his colleagues.

As soon as the two of them said in the reception room that they were the plaintiff's lawyer and defense team in the Li Haiqing case, the embassy staff immediately and enthusiastically invited them in.

When they came to the small reception room of the embassy, they were cordially received by the vice consul of the embassy.

"You're a member of the U.S. Bar Corps, right? Thank you so much for your wonderful defense and justice for the murder of our international students, and we will remember you. "The vice-consul was a middle-aged man in his fifties, well-maintained, and looked to be in his early forties.

The two of them were busy and modest, and then said, "We are here this time for Lawyer Gu from our lawyer group, and she is also a citizen of your Huaxia Empire. ”

"Oh! It's Lawyer Gu! Yes, yes, yes, she's very good! I listened to her court defense, and she really spoke English fluently, without any accent! Standard Oxford accent!" the deputy consul said with a smile, and praised Gu Nianzhi very much.

When the two lawyers saw that the lawyer was powerful, they immediately struck while the iron was hot: "Yes, yes, yes! She is very powerful, although she is young, but she is very smart, and she works hard. ”

"Hahaha! Our country's female lawyers are indeed very powerful!" The vice consul was so happy that he couldn't stop talking, but he didn't forget what the two American lawyers had just said, so he asked, "You just said you came for her, what's the matter?"

"That's right. The two American lawyers became serious, and one lawyer spoke first: "Ten days ago, Lawyer Gu told us that she was going out to meet a friend, and said that she would come back in ten days. As a result, in the past ten days, we couldn't get through to her mobile phone, and every time we called, it was transferred to the voicemail. Yesterday, I called her mobile phone, and there was a phenomenon that the mobile phone was not in the service area. We're worried about ......"

Another lawyer continued: "We felt that there was a problem, so we found some people to investigate Lawyer Gu's whereabouts, and found our chartered bus driver, who said that ten days ago, Lawyer Gu personally told him to go to the Königssee side for a day, and he would call him to pick him up in the evening." But the driver waited until now, and he didn't wait for her to call!"

The vice consul understood what they meant, restrained his smile, frowned and thought for a while, "What do you mean...... Lawyer Gu......?"

“…… Missing. "Two of our other colleagues have gone to the Munich Regional Police Station to report to the police, and the two of us have come to inform you that after all, you are the embassy of Gu's country, and you have an obligation to protect your country's citizens abroad." ”

"It's nature. Not to mention that she is a lawyer entrusted by Minister Bai to come to Germany to fight a lawsuit for her compatriots, even if she is an ordinary student or a labor worker, our embassy is duty-bound!" the vice consul patted the table, "You fill in the information of lawyer Gu, and I will contact China immediately to see what their rules are." ”
