The sun sets at dusk and the sunset is like blood.

When Yan Ming walked out of the hospital, he felt that his body was empty, and he couldn't even walk on his feet.

He sat on a row of chairs outside the hospital, lit a cigarette, and silently watched the pavement red by the setting sun.

A little girl with a ponytail ran in front of Yan Ming laughing and laughing, which attracted Yan Ming's attention, the girl's round cheeks hung an innocent smile, Yan Ming's eyes followed the girl's figure, the girl ran all the way to the road, at this time, there was a sound of sudden braking, Yan Ming quickly got up, searched for the girl's figure in the crowd, and finally, a middle-aged woman picked up the girl, and the girl was unharmed.

Yan Ming let out a long breath and sat down again.

After smoking a cigarette, Yan Ming took out his wallet from his pocket, took out a photo of a girl from the mezzanine, seven or eight years old, with a ponytail, a round face, big eyes, and an innocent smile, Yan Ming looked at the photo, tears appeared in his eyes, he shook his head vigorously, picked up the photo, lit a cigarette, and pulled his thoughts back to reality.

This morning, Yan Ming made an appointment with Yu Weiran to meet in the evening through the relationship between the leaders, hoping that the two sides could have an open and honest exchange. For the lawyers on both sides of the litigation, the victory of one party is not the ultimate pursuit, but the satisfaction of the client.

Yan Ming took two deep breaths, suppressed the negative emotions in his heart, got up and looked back at a window on the third floor of the inpatient department, and said to himself, "You must hold on." ”

The blood-like remnant sun shone on Yan Ming's back, dyeing his back blood-red, and he stepped on his shadow and strode forward.

At half past seven in the evening, Yan Ming came to a casual bar as promised, soothing music was playing, he ordered a cocktail, drank it slowly, and waited for Yu Weiran's arrival.

"Have a martini on the rocks." A cold female voice sounded, and then, a short-haired woman in a light blue suit sat down.

Yu Weiran came.

"There aren't many people who come to the bar in suits to drink." Yan Ming joked, "And there are even fewer cases where there are two at a time." ”

"Tell me, what's the matter with me?" Yu Weiran didn't mean to say hello, and her face was cold.

"Don't be in such a hurry, sometimes the work is too busy, and you need to relax properly, let's find a place to sit first, I think we will talk for a long time."

"What are you talking about?" Yu Weiran turned her head to look at Yan Ming, still sitting in front of the bar, and did not get up.

Yan Ming smiled slightly, revealing his little tiger teeth, adding a hint of cuteness: "Of course it's about the case." ”

"It's all now, what else is there to talk about? See you in court. Yu Weiran took a big sip of wine, and the posture was like he was about to leave.

"The court is public, and we talk about it privately, and sometimes, the public may not be as good as the private." Yan Ming took a sip of wine and said casually.

Yan Ming's casual attitude attracted Yu Weiran's attention, she observed Yan Ming's face and said, "I know you. ”

"Oh? You know me? ”

"Yes." Yu Weiran narrowed her eyes and said with a smile, "Someone mentioned you to me, saying that you are a good lawyer with a sense of justice. ”

"I don't dare to be, rather than being a lawyer with a sense of justice, I hope to be a lawyer who can satisfy my clients, of course, within the scope of morality, through legal means, reasonable and compliant to win the lawsuit."

"Within the scope of morality? Legal means? The corners of Yu Weiran's mouth rose, revealing a disdainful smile, "Are you saying that I am immoral and that my methods are illegal?" ”

"Not really. I just think that sometimes, lawyers have to respect the truth. ”

"Respect for the truth? The lawyer's goal is to win the case. The truth is left to the police. Besides, is the truth that important? There are many things in this world that have no truth at all. ”

"That's the difference between you and me."

"You called me just to instill in me your outlook on life? I feel like you're wasting my time. ”

"Don't you have a troubled conscience? Such an obvious slander, but you spared no effort to help them fight the lawsuit, and also gave them advice, let them go to Yin Nian's company to kneel and sit, and go to the door of the community to pull banners, which had a huge impact on her work and life, Yin Nian saved Yang Po's life, she saved people without asking for anything in return, but got such a result? ”

After a slight pause, Yan Ming continued: "If one day your parents fall down on the side of the road and fall unconscious, and a group of people are around to watch, but no one comes forward to help, how would you feel when that situation happens to yourself or your loved ones? Today, instead of standing up for justice, you are helping to commit abuse, and when evil grows, it will be inflicted on you and make you pay a terrible price! ”

"Is it useful to say so much?" Yu Weiran was unmoved, and said coldly, "It's a very simple thing, Yang Po's family paid and asked me to be their lawyer, they told me that Yin Nian bumped into Yang Po but didn't admit it, I want to seek justice for Yang Po." ”

"Get justice? Forget it, you're not in it for money, you don't care about Yang Po's life and death at all, what you really care about is Yin Nian, how ironic this is! ”

"Isn't it normal for money? Don't you need money to fight a lawsuit for someone else? Yu Weiran suddenly leaned forward, "They told me that you are very short of money, for money, you have taken on a lot of cases, and you are tired every day, but it is still not enough to fill that loophole, if I remember correctly, that loophole seems to be your sister-"

"Leave my business alone!" Yan Ming's tone was excited, interrupting Yu Weiran's words.

"So, everyone has their own problems, you don't have to stand on the moral high ground to sanction me, I know very well what I'm doing, and I won't be shaken by a few words from you, but you, presumably Yin Nian gave you a lot of money, otherwise you would have made so much effort to come to me to talk to me alone? It seems that you really have no tricks, so you want to use morality to coerce me. Yu Weiran shook her head disdainfully, "It's useless, I only recognize money." ”

Yan Ming's mood was affected, and after drinking a glass of wine, he asked for another glass, and his face turned a little blue.

Yu Weiran said with a smile: "You slander people one by one, have you ever thought that if Yang Po didn't slander people, but Yin Nian wanted to hit and run?" ”

Yan Ming frowned slightly: "If it was a hit-and-run, how could she send Yang Po to the hospital and just throw her on the side of the road, there is no camera there, no one knows that she hit it." ”

Yu Weiran shook her head: "Not really, you know, at that time, in that case, if Yin Nian escaped directly, resulting in the death of Yang Po, then she would live in the shadows for the rest of her life, and if Yang Po died, it would be a criminal case, although there were no cameras on the mountain road, there were entrances on both sides of the road, and sooner or later she would be found out, and she would not be able to hide." In my opinion, the best way is to send Yang Po to the hospital, and then say that she saved people, not hit them. ”

"You are completely guilty of inference, first identify Yin Nian as a collision, and then find a reason to supplement her motive for her actions."

"Until now, do you still think Yin Nian didn't hit anyone? If she hadn't hit someone, who deleted the video? ”

"It's you, it's Yang Po's family!"

"Okay, I asked them, they didn't touch the video at all, and besides, we're going to be stupid enough to delete it? If you are caught, isn't it suspected of destroying evidence? Yu Weiran's eyes were sharp, as if he could penetrate Yan Ming's heart, "Until now, I haven't heard that you have found out who deleted the video, in my opinion, there is only one possibility, that is, Yin Nian deleted it himself." ”

"You're thinking too much, we didn't even check it." Yan Ming turned his head to look at the other side.

"Then I suggest you check it out." Yu Weiran slowly took a sip of wine and said meaningfully.

Yan Ming didn't speak, he drank silently, he had already realized that this meeting basically ended in failure, this Yu Weiran was a full interestist, he would not consider anything moral at all, and his posture was high, and he put on a posture that he would not discuss with Yan Ming from the beginning, even so, she should not agree to meet with Yan Ming.

Yan Ming was about to leave after drinking this glass of wine, when Yu Weiran suddenly said faintly: "It's you, don't lose your wife, you have to fold your soldiers." ”

"What do you mean?"

"You help Yin Nian fight a lawsuit, there is no chance of winning, that blood towel will kill you, and the deleted dashcam will also prove that she hit someone from the opposite side, now Yang Po's condition is quite stable, but if she really has any accidents-" Yu Weiran's face suddenly showed a strange smile, "When the time comes, it will not be solved by 1.8 million, as Yin Nian's lawyer, it is not just as simple as fighting a failed lawsuit, it is a stumbling block to your reputation in the circle and future development." ”

"How do you know we can't win? If Yin Nian really didn't hit anyone, no matter how much evidence you have, if you don't bump, you don't bump, justice will eventually be on our side. ”

"The reason why you think Yin Nian didn't hit people is because you believe her as a person, right? Indeed, she has the capital to make people believe, she is an executive of a listed company, she is also very beautiful, honest and trustworthy, and very kind, otherwise she would not have saved people, right? However, why does Yin Nian firmly believe that she didn't hit anyone, is it because she really didn't hit anyone? Are there any other possibilities? There was a hint of mystery in Yu Weiran's tone.

"What possibility?" Although Yan Ming felt that Yu Weiran was playing tricks, he still asked curiously.

"In the past two days, I have consulted several psychiatric experts, and they have told me that there are many people who have transient amnesia or post-traumatic sequelae after a car accident, do you know what I mean?"

"You mean...... Yin Nian has amnesia? ”

"I didn't say that, I only said that there is this possibility, in the court, I will also tell this possibility, the reason why I am telling you now is that I want you to tell Yin Nian and ask her to check whether she has this disease first, if there is, then everyone will save trouble, and you can sit down and talk about reconciliation again, after all, litigation is a long-term process, and no one wants to spend it all the time, right?"

Yan Ming really hadn't thought about this possibility that Yu Weiran said, and he even felt a little ridiculous.

Seeing that Yan Ming didn't speak, Yu Weiran continued: "In addition, there is another thing I want to talk to you about. ”

"What's the matter?"

Yu Weiran suddenly leaned closer to Yan Ming, and her shoulders touched together.

Yu Weiran's hand quietly put on Yan Ming's shoulder, his mouth came to Yan Ming's ear, and he whispered: "I know that you are very short of money, and I also know that you will definitely not win this lawsuit, but a woman like Yin Nian will not give up easily, she will definitely resist to the end, so, this must be a protracted battle, as lawyers, what we are most tired of is fighting a protracted battle, but, if you can help me, then the situation will be completely different, the case may be over soon, as a thank you, we will give you a commission of five percent, If it's one million, five percent, it's fifty thousand, which is a lot more expensive than your lawyer's fee as Yin Nian. ”

"What do you mean by that?" Yan Ming withdrew his hand from Yu Weiran's hand and frowned.

"What I mean, you should know very well. If Yin Nian is telling the truth, it is likely to be to tell you, I hope you can get some useful information from her to help us win this lawsuit. ”

"You want me to be a spy?!"

"Each takes what he needs, strives to maximize the interests of both parties, Yin Nian bumps into people or not, it doesn't matter at all, what matters is what we can get from it." Yu Weiran's eyes flashed with a sly light.

"If there are more lawyers like you, this society will be doomed!" Yan Ming glared at Yu Weiran angrily.

"I don't care, if you help us or not, we will all win, but for you, it is a good opportunity, 50,000 yuan, although it is not much, but it can also help you solve some problems." Yu Weiran picked up the wine glass and took a sip, looking like she was winning.

"I really didn't expect you to be so shameless, what justice, shame, truth, kindness, in your eyes are all worthless, you only have money in your head, you are a group of moths in the eyes of money!" Yan Ming drank the wine in one go, and put the cup on the table vigorously, "I shouldn't have come to see you!" ”

"You're a good lawyer with a sense of justice, but usually, a good lawyer doesn't end well." Yu Weiran sneered, "Don't worry, I will always keep the opportunity for you, and you can contact me at any time before the trial." ”

Before the words fell, Yu Weiran's hand suddenly put on Yan Ming's shoulder, hooking Yan Ming's arm, Yan Ming looked down and found that Yu Weiran's face was red, I don't know if it was the effect of the wine or the effect of the light.

"I heard you're still single?" Yu Weiran laughed, there was a hint of charm in her eyes, and even her voice became softer, "How can a handsome man like you be single?" It's weird. ”

"You don't have to worry about my business."

"The temper is not small. Okay, in short, feel free to contact me if you have any news, in addition to 50,000 yuan, I have other benefits for you. Yu Weiran's laughter carried a hint of ridicule.

Yan Ming ignored Yu Weiran anymore, got up and walked towards the door of the bar.

"Why don't you ask what the other benefits are?" Yu Weiran shouted towards Yan Ming's departing back.

Yan Ming walked straight out of the bar without looking back.

"What an idiot." Yu Weiran picked up the wine glass and shook her head while drinking, "If there are too many such fools, society will really be finished." ”
