Because the hotel is located in the most prosperous business center of Los Angeles, mainly catering to business people, many of the city's successful shopping mall elites like to choose this place for business negotiations, so the hotel is worried about revealing the whereabouts of guests, and in some cases does not install surveillance.

Tang Xien and his party entered the hotel smoothly, but they were trapped in the elevator.

The floor where Fu Zhengye lived at that time was an administrative floor, and there was no special access card, and he couldn't even go up the elevator. The male lawyer came up with a way to disguise himself as a resident and open a room on the same floor.

The room where Fu Zhengye stayed that night, after the police investigation and evidence collection, the hotel tidied up, and continued to let other guests use it, and now there are people living there, they boldly knocked on the door, explained their intention to the guests, and went in to take a few looks.

The scene that has been destroyed, there is nothing to be found, Tang Xien came here to deduce the situation of that night at the scene of the crime, and build a sense of space at the scene of the crime in his mind.

When I went back to the law firm, the investigator there also investigated some things.

The key witness in this case is the victim's roommate on the surface, but in fact she is still a rival in love, because after the victim fell into a coma, she quickly caught up with the victim's boyfriend.

Lawyers think that this kind of thing is very common, and girls who are not very old are indeed prone to jealousy and male friends who like friends.

Tang Xien didn't want to let go of the slightest possibility, so he instructed the investigator to continue the investigation.

……

After several days of investigation and evidence collection, Fu Zhengye had to continue to be imprisoned because the defendant did not have direct and powerful evidence to persuade the prosecution to withdraw the indictment.

The preliminary hearing will be held in early February, and Fu Zhengye's chief lawyer will be able to attend, and Tang Xien and Fu Shiyu will return to China first and wait for the formal trial in mid-February.

Before returning to China, they went to visit Fu Zhengye in the detention center for the last time.

Fu Zhengye was wearing a short-sleeved prison uniform, with a purple patch on his arm, and he looked like he had been beaten, which was much worse than what he saw before the last arraignment.

Tang Xien felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, but he was more worried about Fu Shiyu.

Fu Shiyu didn't show any emotion, her face was indifferent, but she knew that such a Fu Shiyu was more painful than anyone else.

Tang Xien didn't have time to think about it, cherishing the limited time for visiting.

But when she wanted to communicate with Fu Zhengye about the case, she found that she couldn't ask...... Fu Zhengye is her father-in-law after all.

She plucked up her courage and was about to speak, when Fu Shiyu spoke first: "The police found the victim's hair on the safety bag and sofa in the room where you lived, as well as ......."

He blushed, and it was embarrassing and shameful to tell his father about these things. After relieving his emotions for a moment, he raised his eyes to look at Fu Zhengye, his eyes were sharp: "And there is the victim's dander in your fingernails!" How do you explain that? ”

Fu Zhengye was shocked, and looked at Fu Shiyu with wide eyes: "Impossible!" I don't know that woman at all, how can there be these things?! ”

Fu Shiyu looked away, not wanting to look at Fu Zhengye. It was the first time in the days he had been in Los Angeles that he had shown such a state of annoyance.

Fu Zhengye looked angry and didn't say much.

Seeing that time was running out, Tang Xien let go and asked, "Are you sure the victim didn't enter your room that night?" ”

Fu Zhengye's words were conclusive: "Sure! If that woman had ever entered my room, I would have been killed by lightning at night! ”

Fu Shiyu snorted coldly and looked out the window. I obviously don't believe that.

Don Sheehan was embarrassed.

She pursed her lips and said, "Then think about it carefully, is it possible that you have had contact with the victim in other places?" Also, you said that a friend was in your room from 10 a.m. to 2 a.m. that night, which coincides with the time when the victim was killed, and if you can tell us the contact information of this friend, and we can contact her to do an alibi for you, then there is a great chance that this case will be won. ”

Fu Zhengye didn't say anything for a long time, bowing his head.

Fu Shiyu looked at him and said coldly, "Your safety bag is used with that one?" ”

Tang Xien: "......"

Fu Shiyu: "Since it's such an intimate relationship, she shouldn't refuse to make an alibi for you, right?" ”

Fu Zhengye remained silent. Time passed minute by minute, until the guard was about to come and take him, he still refused to reveal the other party's information.

Looking at Fu Zhengye's back when he was taken away, Fu Shiyu shook his head, and the anger on his face turned into mockery.

Back at the law firm, Tang immediately changed directions with other lawyers to discuss. They speculated that the woman who had a relationship with Fu Zhengye that night was either a woman that Fu Zhengye wanted to protect and could not be exposed; Or a call girl who doesn't know her name and phone number......

In Fu Zhengye's case, Fu Shiyu became more silent, and it wasn't until he and Tang Xien both returned to China and returned to work separately, temporarily away from everything that was depressing in Los Angeles, that his mood improved.

……

Tang Xien returned to work in the Department of Laws and Regulations, just after the Spring Festival holiday, so everyone only took two days off when she was busy or unwell pregnant, but when chatting, some subordinates asked her where she went to play for the New Year, she almost said that she missed her mouth, and finally only said that she went to Los Angeles with her husband for the New Year, everyone thought that rich people like to go abroad to play, and they couldn't guess that something happened to her mother-in-law's family anyway.

In mid-February, when Tang Xien was about to ask Director Li for leave to go to Los Angeles, Director Li first told her that she had been in the Department of Treaty and Law for two years, and the efficiency of solving one key case a year was very appreciated by the department, and in terms of personal ability, she was far superior to another competitor, coupled with her father-daughter relationship with Teng Zhongqian, the ministry had carefully considered and intended to let her take up the post of deputy director of the Department of Treaty and Law.

After listening to Director Li's words, Tang Xien's mood changed from surprise to regret.

At the end of February, Fu Zhengye's case was in trial in Los Angeles, and she couldn't say how many working days it would take, and how long she would need to stay in Los Angeles. If she leaves the Division for a while at this juncture, then ......

She was entangled and did not mention to Director Li that she was going to take a long leave for the time being, and planned to think about it in the evening before deciding what to do.

She didn't want to discuss this matter with Fu Shiyu. If Fu Shiyu knew, he would definitely not agree to let her go to Los Angeles to participate in Fu Zhengye's trial.

The same goes for Teng Zhongqian......

Tang Xien went home at night, locked himself in the study alone, and carefully reviewed the case file of Fu Zhengye's case.

All the evidence in this case is very direct and crude, only the victim's testimony seems to be a little thin.

After the victim was taken to the hospital for emergency treatment, she was briefly awake, and the police recorded a statement for her at that time, and she personally confirmed that the perpetrator was Fu Zhengye. After that, the victim remained unconscious due to massive bleeding from internal organs, so there was only one turning point in this case, that is, the victim was summoned to testify in court, and through cross-examination, the loopholes in the victim's testimony were found out, and the current fog of the case was broken.

However, the victim is still in a coma, and it is unknown whether he will be able to go to court at that time, and in this case, Fu Zhengye's chief lawyer should apply for an extension and wait for the victim to wake up before continuing the trial. If so, then it doesn't make sense for Don Sheehan to go back to Los Angeles this time.

She was already inclined not to return to Los Angeles for the time being.

However, early the next morning, Fu Shiyu, who was still asleep, received a call from Los Angeles, saying that the victim of Fu Zhengye's case had woken up, and Fu Zhengye's chief lawyer had decided to apply for the summons of the victim to testify in court at that time.

Tang Xien immediately decided to go to Los Angeles with Fu Shiyu three days later.

When she went to ask Director Li for leave, Director Li was shocked and asked her if she could take leave until she took office, she said no, and Director Li asked her if she knew the return date, maybe he could discuss with the ministry and relax a little time on Tang Xien's promotion to deputy director.

Hearing that Tang Xi'en had not yet decided on his return date for this leave, which might be a few months later, Director Li shook his head regretfully.

Tang Xien came out of the director's office in frustration, and returned to his office in a trance, his eyes were red as soon as the door was closed......

She knew she had really missed out this time, and her good luck seemed to run out......
