With a "squeak", the door was gently pushed open, and with two soft and crisp "clicks", a person walked into the room and closed the door casually. Then the sound of "click" sounded one after another, and the man went straight to the desk.

Although Chu Tianqi looked down at the desktop, he had actually been paying attention to the sound just now, and inadvertently swept the ground with the corner of his eye to make the sound.

A little red came into view, followed by another point, and it was a pair of red women's leather shoes. In the rhythmic "click", the women's leather shoes have reached the front of the desk.

The "click" sound stopped, and a wisp of perfume smell wafted into Chu Tianqi's nose.

Chu Tianqi still looked down at the newspaper on the table, and the person didn't speak, only the perfume molecules kept moving, exuding its smell.

After a full minute, Chu Tianqi raised his head and said to the visitor: "Hello, who are you looking for?"

The person who came smiled slightly: "Chu Bureau, it's really a noble person who forgets things, don't you know?"

The visitor was more than 1.7 meters tall, with black hair with big wavy curls and cheeks with not thick makeup. The visitor was wearing a camel-colored half-large casual jacket, a white low-cut shirt inside, light coffee-colored cropped fleece pants on his legs, and a pair of red high-heeled leather shoes on his feet. This is a woman in her thirties who is not very beautiful, but definitely not ugly, and has a very temperament.

Chu Tianqi glanced at the other party and did not speak, but smiled slightly and shook his head.

"Chu Bureau, I'm Xiaolian. The woman said, taking out a business card from the beige bag she was carrying crossbody, and handed it over, "Please take care of it." ”

Chu Tianqi stretched out his hand to take the business card and saw the text on it: Lian Lian, legal counsel of Jucai Group. He let out an "oh" and nodded: "It turned out to be Advisor Lian, please sit, please sit." As he spoke, he gestured with his hand in the direction of the couch.

"Thank you!" Lian Lian said, taking a few steps back and sitting on the sofa as the other party signaled. Then he smiled, "Chu Ju remembered?"

Chu Tianqi said: "Come to think of it, I have seen the demeanor of Consultant Lian in the court. ”

It was August 15 last year, when the lease dispute case of the mountain village was reopened, and Chu Tianqi saw this woman in the courtroom. At that time, Chu Tianqi arrived at the scene before half past eight to observe the court session. And this woman went at nine o'clock, when the judges were already in place, and the woman's identity that day was the defendant's representative. When the woman entered the courtroom, she also walked up to Chu Tianqi, said "You are welcome to guide the trial work", and introduced herself as the legal counsel of Jucai Company.

"Chu Bureau, don't mention the events of that day, I have a little gaffe, which makes you laugh. Lian Lian's expression was slightly embarrassed.

Chu Tianqi smiled: "Really?"

It seems to be a rhetorical question, but in fact, the other party gave a positive answer, which is ironic. Lian Lian was not good for a while, so she had to smile awkwardly again.

Now Lian Lian said "make you laugh", it is by no means modest, she did lose her temper that day. In the course of a few hours of trial, she showed her appearance, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she is ugly. After her reminder, Chu Tianqi thought of the scene of the day of the trial again, and remembered Lian Lian's extremely contrasting performance at that time.

……

The trial held on 15 August last year was the third trial of the mountain and forest dispute case, and the whole process can be said to be turbulent and the situation has taken a sharp turn.

At the beginning of the trial, the court presented an appraisal report, and the appraisal results were unfavorable to the plaintiff, and the plaintiff's lawyer, Chu Jiaxiong, proposed a "re-appraisal". And Lian Lian didn't wait for the presiding judge to answer, so she rudely interrupted the other party and ridiculed Chu Jiaxiong with "Don't you think your suggestion is ridiculous, very unprofessional, and unreasonable?" For this reason, she was also warned by the presiding judge, but at the same time received the presiding judge's reply as she expected: "Plaintiff, your proposal does not meet the requirements, and the court will not support it." ”

Seeing that the court did not support the plaintiff's request, Lian Lian did not hesitate to step on the plaintiff, saying, "I request the court to consider the plaintiff's moral compensation and compensation for lost work when making a judgment." Of course, the presiding judge rejected Lianlian's suggestion that "the plaintiff is a vulnerable group". But Lian Lian still proposed, "After this verdict, our company will immediately sue the other party and sue them for these frauds." ”

In the final statement stage, Lian Lian deliberately emphasized 'based on facts, with the law as the criterion', and at the same time emphasized 'fairness and justice', which is actually the army of generals and judges without a trace.

When the court was adjourned in the middle, Lian Lian did not forget to provoke Chu Tianqi to "ask Director Chu and Secretary Chu to teach one or two", and continued to squeeze Chu Tianqi to favor the villagers. Of course, Chu Tianqi coldly replied with a pun, "Don't worry, I will definitely take care of this matter to the end." ”

After the trial resumed again, at the moment when the presiding judge announced the verdict, Chen Wenming appeared in court to testify. Lian Lian questioned Chen Wenming's identity several times, and also used words like "You talk nonsense, I protest", but it was refuted by the presiding judge. Chen Wenming provided video and text in court, and the situation on the scene took a dramatic reversal, and it was finally proved that it was the defendant who faked it, Jucai Company.

When the fraud was revealed, Lian Lian did not shout as loudly as before, but looked cold, bowed her head slightly, and sent a short message with her mobile phone. She thought that her movements were absolutely secret, but she couldn't escape Chu Tianqi's eyes at all, and Chu Tianqi secretly sent her a sentence at that time: The agency was too clever and mistook Qingqing's life.

Although the verdict was not pronounced in court, the victory and defeat had been divided, and Lian Lian lost the arrogance in front of her, let alone dared to provoke Chu Tianqi. At that time, she thought that she was walking with her head held high and very imposing, but in the eyes of Chu Tianqi and the villagers, she just ran away with her tail between her legs.

……

The room was quiet for a while, and Lian Lian's voice sounded again: "Director Chu, I came to see you today to ask for one thing, please be able to give it your convenience." ”

"Please, could it be that the villagers are looking for the Jucai Company again, or are the villagers making additional requests?" Chu Tianqi's tone was full of doubts, "Can't it? The villagers are very reasonable and generous, and they have been so miserable by the Jucai Company, and they haven't said anything out of the ordinary." ”

"You're wrong, I'm not talking about that thing, I'm talking about something else. Lian Lian paused slightly, and changed to a tentative tone, "I want to inquire about someone—Lian Bin." ”

"What, are you sure we have this person here?" Chu Tianqi asked rhetorically, "Who are you listening to?"

Knowing that the other party was pretending to be confused, Lian Lian had to explain patiently: "Chu Bureau, it's spread all over the outside, and it was you who arrested Lian Bin." ”

"Even advisors, I have no comment. Chu Tianqi's face was serious, "It seems that this has nothing to do with the wealth gathering company, right?"

Lian Lian hurriedly said: "Director Chu, I am not seeing you today as an advisor to Jucai Company, but as a family member of Lian Bin. I am his own sister and I want to visit him. ”

"My sister?" Chu Tianqi asked.

"Yes. Lian Lian took out a few folded pieces of paper from her satchel, then stood up, walked to the desk, and handed the paper over.

Chu Tianqi didn't reach out to pick it up, but his eyes fell on those pieces of paper.

Pointing to the paper, Lian Lian said: "These are copies of the household registration book, the head of the household is my father, and my brother Lianbin's household registration page, this is my sister's, this one is mine." My mother had passed away a long time ago, and she didn't have a hukou. These two are copies of my and my brother's ID cards. ”

"Even though you are brother and sister, you are not eligible for visitation right now. Chu Tianqi thought thoughtfully, "For the suspect who is under investigation, he is not allowed to see anyone, not even his parents, let alone his sister." ”

"When I was two years old, my mother died, and a few years later my father was gone, and it was my brother who raised me as a human being, and he actually did more of a father's duty to me, and I also regarded him as a father and brother. Lian Lian's tone was low, "I'm engaged in legal work, so I naturally know that I can't visit him now, but I really miss him, so I ask the director of the bureau to be kind and let us meet." ”

Chu Tianqi did not speak.

Lian Lian continued: "I know that my request is suspected of collusion, but I promise not to mention anything related to the case. ”

Chu Tianqi still didn't say anything.

"Otherwise, I am a legal practitioner myself, I can go to see him as a lawyer and make up the formalities afterwards, how about it?" Lian Lianyu pleaded, "He has an old* problem with his stomach, I really can't rest assured, just let me see him." ”

Chu Tianqi thought for a long time and dialed a number. As soon as the phone rang, he said, "Lao Qu, come on." Then he hung up the phone.

After a while, Qu Gang came over.

Seeing that there was another woman in the room, Qu Gang paused a little and asked, "Director, are you looking for me?"

"That's what happened. Chu Tianqi pointed at Lian Lian, "This is Lian Advisor, she wants to see someone." ”

……

After negotiation, Chu and Qu agreed to Lian Lian's request for a visit. Qu Gang called two policemen and asked them to take Lian Lian with them.

Looking at the closed door and listening to the sound of women's leather shoes that had gone away, Qu Gang leaned forward and said, "Director, I'm afraid you have any arrangements, right?"

"What do you mean?" Chu Tianqi asked rhetorically.

Qu Gang smiled and said, "With Lian Bin's current situation, he doesn't meet the conditions for visitation, but you seem to be inclined to allow Lian Lian to visit, which is a bit abnormal, right?" and then added, "I don't mean anything else, I just think you have something to do." ”

"You can be skeptical now, and you'll know the outcome later. Speaking of this, Chu Tianqi changed the topic, "In this way, you immediately contact the investigation team and send two people over, and there will be action later." ”

"Okay. Qu Gang finished speaking, and dialed the number on his mobile phone. As soon as the phone was connected, he said, "Gao Qiang, take two members of the investigation team to the director's office." ”

A strong voice came from the mobile phone: "I'm outside, I'll rush back now, it's estimated that I will be able to go back in more than half an hour." ”
