The next day, because Fu Shiyu insisted, Tang Xien took him and Wang Yuan to L City, more than 200 kilometers away, to find another witness.

The car stopped under an old apartment building in the 80s and 90s in L City.

Tang Xien lowered the window and looked up, the grass-gray exterior walls of the apartment buildings were mottled and dilapidated, the balcony railings were rusty, there was no property management in the community, the corners were overgrown with weeds, and the garbage cans were lifted.

This is where the poor live.

"Jiang Yan's parents also live here?" Don Sheehan asked.

Fu Shiyu nodded.

"Hasn't she made a lot of money over the years? Why do my parents still live in this kind of place? ”

"You use normal people's thinking, of course you can't understand what people like her are thinking." Fu Shiyu said.

Tang Xien thought about it, shook his head, and didn't ask much.

After a while, a girl in her twenties, dressed in some social fashion, was taken down and stuffed into the car.

The car door closed, Tang Xien turned on the voice recorder, took out the photo of the front desk of the B&B from the file bag, and held it up to the other party: "The girl in the photo is called Peng Yao, do you know each other?" ”

"Acquaintance."

"Why did you give her half a million in cash in July 2019?"

Xu has already been explained by Bo Xutao's people, and the girl said meekly: "Yanzi asked me to give it to her." ”

"Who is Yanzi?"

"Jiang Yan."

Tang Xien's voice was cold, and he raised his voice: "Why did Jiang Yan ask you to give Peng Yao 500,000 cash?" ”

Jiang Yan asked her to change her confession, as if the place where she worked was a hotel, she didn't pay attention to identifying her ID card, and let the minors in to check in. She didn't tell her boss about it. Jiang Yan asked her to go to the police to change her confession, and she notified her boss at that time. ”

"How did Jiang Yan give you this 500,000 at that time? How much did she pay you? ”

The social girl scratched the colorful hair on her head and said, "Yanzi directly put the money in a travel bag and brought it to my house for me." At that time, I took 600,000 yuan, and the other 100,000 yuan was my hard work. ”

"Did anyone see her give you that cash at the time?"

"No ......"

"Do you know where she got her cash?"

"I don't know ......"

……

Tang Xien asked Jiang Yan how he instructed the witness to perjury and retract his confession at that time, and also recorded the audio, and the girl in the society expressed her willingness to testify in court.

After the evidence collection work was done, Tang Xien and others set off to return to City B.

Along the way, she was discussing with Wang Yuan whether there was a possibility of winning the case. They all believe that the worst outcome is because of the lack of physical evidence, and even if there are witnesses, the case may be withdrawn due to insufficient evidence.

Although the situation is not optimistic, Tang Xien still began to prepare case materials after returning to the law firm in the afternoon, and asked Lin Yuruo to send the materials to the relevant departments before leaving work.

.

A month later, Tang Xien received news that the relevant departments began to investigate and collect evidence on Jiang Yan's obstruction of testimony, including the collection of evidence from witnesses, and the investigation of the 500,000 yuan in cash used to bribe witnesses to retract their confessions.

They contacted Jiang Yan, who was far away in the UK, and asked her to return to China to cooperate with the investigation.

It was late November, and it was almost winter in City B, because he was going to Europe for a month next week, and Tang Xien was working overtime day and night.

That night, she was working in the study, and Fu Shiyu, who was also busy in front of the computer, answered a phone call and opened it in a rare way.

Li Tao let out a low "Ah Yu" and pulled Tang Xien, who was lying on the desk, out of his work. She looked at Fu Shiyu and asked with her mouth, "Do you need me to avoid it?" ”

Fu Shiyu shook his head, and came to her side with his mobile phone to listen together.

Li Tao on the other end of the phone asked: "Can't the B&B case just be settled?" ”

Fu Shiyu had a tough attitude: "Can't!" We must investigate it to the end! ”

Li Tao: "Jiang Yan did something foolish at the time, but it has been so long, and Sheen's lawyer's certificate has been preserved, and now the old case is reopened, which makes no sense." ”

Tang Xi'en suddenly surged to his heart.

If others don't know what this case means to her, Li Tao, who is also a lawyer, knows how hard she has to work to make a name for herself in the legal circle of City B, and watched her suffer all the way in the three months after the B&B case, and even persuaded her not to reopen the old case!

Tang Xien was furious, and he didn't care that this was the phone call between Li Tao and Fu Shiyu, and said directly: "Li Par, this case is a criminal case, even if I want to forget it now, I can't withdraw the case, you say it's useless!" ”

Xu didn't expect that she was also on the phone, Li Tao didn't speak for a while, and after a while, he said softly: "Sheen, it's the master who is not good and brings you these troubles." ”

He wanted to use a soft one, but Tang Xien didn't want to hear it, so he motioned Fu Shiyu to hang up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Fu Shiyu sat down beside her, and before she could speak, she threw herself into his arms and asked angrily and aggrievedly: "Why is Li Pa like this?" It's okay if others don't know what this case means to me, so why is he like this? ”

Fu Shiyu took her into his arms and comforted her softly: "It's not that he doesn't know, he just chose to let your grievances save him trouble." ”

"Badass!" Tang Xien was so angry that he pretended to cry.

Fu Shiyu hugged her, kissed her sideburns, and smiled helplessly: "So I told you before, in this world, except for me, other men are bad guys!" ”

Tang Xien buried his face in his arms, tugged at the corner of his clothes and pretended to cry for a while, and hummed: "The next time Li Pa calls you to tell you about this matter, you will say that the case has been handed over to Ah Yuan, and now I don't care, and I won't interfere, so that he won't come to harass us again!" ”

Fu Shiyu couldn't ask for it: "Okay." ”

Holding Tang Xien for a while, he let go of her: "You are busy first, and we will rest early after we are busy." ”

-

When they first fell in love, Tang Xien and Fu Shiyu planned a January trip to Europe, and they planned to travel to Northern Europe for half a month and Western Europe for half a month.

However, because Liang Shuyi proposed to prepare a wedding dress and jewelry for Tang Xien in France some time ago, they changed their plans this time, planning to go to France for the first time, stay in France for a week, and then go to the United Kingdom to see Fu Shiyu's previous life footprints.

"After a week in the UK, we can go to Northern Europe to see the Northern Lights! Norway and Sweden for a week! The last week of the holiday, buy a watch in Switzerland! Italy order your suit and leather shoes! But I'm going to visit Venice Aqua City when the time comes! ”

At the Capital Airport, at eight o'clock in the morning, Tang Xien and Fu Shiyu sat in the waiting hall waiting for boarding to Paris, France.

Tang Xien, who was wearing a down jacket, a woolen hat, and snow boots, held his handwritten strategy in his hand, and was excitedly repeating the itinerary for the next month with Fu Shiyu.

Fu Shiyu cried and rubbed the white beanie on her head with a smile: "You already said it last night!" I'm not a forgetful old man, what do you do with me so many times? ”

"Let's make a deeper impression again!" Tang Xien smiled stupidly, took the guide, and turned his head to search for photos of the hotels that Fu Shi had booked.

After searching for a while, she asked, "There are no hotels in Paris, which means we are going to stay with your mother?" ”

"Hmm. She has a villa over there, let's go and see it first, we can't get used to living in it, and then book a hotel temporarily. ”

Although Tang Xien and Liang Shuyi have no contradictions now, Liang Shuyi is a good teacher, he always likes to reprimand Tang Xien, and he also likes to point fingers at their private lives.

Don Sheehan wasn't too happy.

Fu Shiyu saw that the person who was still chirping didn't speak for a long time, turned his head to look at it, and asked, "Don't like to live on my mother's side?" ”

"I can overcome it in a day or two, if you don't let me live with her for a week, then I'll go crazy."

Fu Shiyu smiled, reached out and pinched her little round face: "If you are not married, you won't wait to see your mother-in-law?" ”

"Will you see it yourself?"

Fu Shiyu laughed when he heard this, but didn't say anything. This made Tang Xien a little irritable, as if he could already foresee what he would become when he went to Paris and lived with Liang Shuyi for a week.

She was depressed, and the man sitting next to her suddenly leaned over and kissed her on the cheek: "Okay, since you don't like to live with my mother, then let's finish our business and go to Nanfa." ”

It was as if he were accommodating her.

She pouted and looked over: "What are you doing in Nanfa?" ”

"Choose red wine and use it for wedding banquets."

She nudged him: "You were planning to go to Nanfa, right?" Why didn't you say it earlier? also deliberately said that I don't want to see my mother-in-law! ”

"Just remembered."

Realizing that Fu Shiyu's mouth was dishonest again, Tang Xien was so angry that he slapped him on the arm: "You have healed the injuries on your body, and you feel that you are awesome again, so you can not talk well, right?" ”

After speaking, he turned his back to him angrily: "Don't talk to me!" ”

Fu Shiyu just wanted to tease her again, and the boarding gate happened to inform passengers bound for Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport that they could board the plane.

He stuffed the magazine in his hand into his backpack, and just turned around to coax Tang Xien, but saw that she had happily put on her backpack and stood up, and beckoned him: "Go away!" ”

He shook his head with a smile and laughter, this girl had been sulking for too short.

.

This time, the direct flight from City B to Paris took eleven hours, and although Fu Shiyu's back injury had been healed, he still occasionally felt uncomfortable when he sat up for a long time, so they bought a first-class seat this time.

The positions of the two are next to each other. In the same small cabin, there are two seats that can be adjusted to the shape of a sofa bed about a meter wide, and a small dim lamp is placed on a horizontal partition in the middle, and there are khaki curtains on both sides of the passage that can be closed.

Tang Xien put the backpack on the side, looked around a few times, and then sat down.

"This is the Huo family's plane?" She asked.

Fu Shiyu was adjusting the seat and looked up: "How do you know?" ”

Tang Xi'en nodded his chin on the screen in front of the seat: "Xingyang Airlines, isn't it?" ”

Fu Shiyu adjusted his position and sat down: "Yes, maybe it's still Mrs. Huo's plane today." ”

"Huo Ji's wife is the captain?" Tang Xien said, bored, picked up the propaganda color page next to the seat and flipped through it. After turning a few pages, she pushed Fu Shiyu's arm and held up the color page to show him, "This is Mrs. Huo?" CaptainTang？ ”

Fu Shiyu didn't look at it, and said casually: "If it is the chief female captain with the same surname as you, it is his wife." ”

"Oops." Tang Xien's gossip soul was blazing, grabbed Fu Shiyu's arm and said, "His wife looks very aggressive!" Her hair is so short, her body is thin, and she looks very handsome! It looks like it doesn't match Huo Wei! I thought his wife should be the kind of rich lady who dresses very femininely and looks like a female star. I really didn't expect his wife to be the captain......"

Fu Shiyu looked at it when he heard this, but his eyes were not at the color page in her hand, but on her face that was even more baby fat because she was wearing a beanie hat for a few seconds, and bent the corners of her lips: "I guess many people say that I really didn't expect Fu Shiyu's wife to be a lawyer." ”

Tang Xien rolled his dark, clear eyes, "Indeed, we don't match each other." After speaking, Wu Zi spit out his small and cute tongue and sighed, "All the love in this world can't escape the 'law of true fragrance'!" ”

"What is the 'Law of True Fragrance'?"

"That's it...... Well......" Don Sheehan thought for a moment with his chin propped up, and said, "I'll give you an example." When we first met, you were cold to me, didn't you? It's like you're afraid I'm going to get stuck with you. But then, it was you who liked me first. This process is simply called 'true fragrance'. ”

Fu Shiyu: "......"

I don't know if he didn't understand, or if he understood and had nothing to say, he didn't speak for a while anyway. After a while, he muttered to himself: "You said that you had a daughter, but I secretly fell in love with you, and I didn't dare to approach you." ”

Tang Xien suddenly realized: "Zhenxiang didn't like and rejected it at first. Then you have been secretly obsessed with me in your heart from the beginning, but you mistakenly thought that I had a daughter and forced yourself to stay away, which is called 'dark sugar law'! ”

Fu Shiyu was speechless again.

After a while, he crossed his arm, pinched Tang Xien's cheek, his face approached her, his bright amber eyes stared at her for a long time, and smiled maliciously: "This is not the 'dark sugar law', this is the 'sugar plan'!" ”

Tang Xien slapped his hand away, rubbed his cheeks, and said in disgust: "What is Tang's plan!" Don't know what you're talking about! ”

He raised his eyebrows lightly and smiled, and sat back in his place: "I'll tell you at night." ”
