The third time we meet in this life, who is the fate of the previous life, the fate of the coming and the dispersion
At twilight, the town is still shrouded in the brilliant light and shadow of the setting sun. The streets and alleys are full of traffic. The vehicle is like a roaming beetle, hurrying back to its nest before the night comes.
I wanted to drive my own "iron solicitor" to the appointment, but I felt that the price was dropped, and everyone called him Barrister Zhong, and when I saw that he was still driving the broken "Santana" of the last century, I don't know what I would think of him. Although he particularly likes this car, he also gave his car a foreign name "Iron Solicitor". This is the first car in his life, recording his glorious life at the peak of his life, and it also marks his despicable when he is down, and the car accompanies him like a loyal dog, never abandoned. But at a critical time, he still has to restrain his true emotions, virtualize the lofty charm, to meet and breathe.
Go out and beckon.
Stopping a taxi with a "quack", he got into the car and said "Happy Holiday Inn". And the chariot merged, and flowed into the river.
The car drove for more than ten minutes, before it staggered and stopped, he got out of the car, did not stand firmly, softened, felt a little motion sickness, and shouted to the driver: "The car should be maintained, the smell of gasoline is smoking, and the positioning is not done, and it makes people dizzy!" ”
"Okay, brother, you go slowly!" The driver smirked and drove away.
"Something! Such a broken car can also be on the road! "Professional accusations are marked verbally again.
When you enter the door, you can see what kind of environment this is. The owner's whimsical décor and themes that highlight the secrets and shadows of the duo's world, as well as large-scale "Renaissance" decorative frescoes of the human body and modern abstract paintings, fill the walls, and the whole atmosphere is full of romantic temptations and hints.
"Sir, do you have a reservation?" Just as he was hesitating to ask someone for information, the little hostess appeared out of nowhere and blocked her way.
"I'm here as promised." Zhong Sheng replied calmly. On the other side, another small waitress came quietly and whispered something in the ear of the inquirer, and the questioner said, "Sir, please come to box 18, someone is waiting." ”
In the darkness, I groped for a few turns before I vaguely saw the house number. Still uncertain, with the light of the mobile phone, I carefully verified it. He reached out and knocked on the door, but it opened softly, and there was no light inside. I vaguely feel that it is a woman, judging from the elegant perfume smell.
"Come in!" The voice is young.
"The gods are mysterious, the black rumbling is very appropriate, why don't you turn on the lights?" He said lightly, following his hand to find the switch.
"It's the same whether you turn on the lights or not." Click, a row of small bullseye LED lights lit up. He smiled dumbly, this light did not help much for vision, but it showed this hazy and warm artistic conception.
"Master, sure enough, master!" I don't know who he's praising in his heart. It was the woman's outfit that aroused his infinite curiosity: a black veil covered his face, a wide-brimmed hat was buttoned, and his face was invisible as if he couldn't see clearly. Wearing a black dress and half lotus jade arms, it is still conspicuous. It's nondescript, it's a little weird.
"You're Maserati? Really found a good place! If you have any advice, I will listen to you. He was still teasing quietly. But I was thinking in my heart: Obediently, what age is it, it's like an underground party joint, I've watched too many spy war movies, which makes me nervous like a joint.
"That's me! Don't worry, since you're invited to coffee, I'm going to drink the best coffee here. I arrived early, so I was good at making a claim and ordering the best coffee here. You taste it, I cooked it myself, it's not hot! The woman, pushing the cup, whispered. I also picked up the cup myself and took a sip. "Well, it tastes so good! I've just heard about this coffee! ”
"Elephant coffee!" Zhong Sheng was well-informed and deliberately ostentatious. In fact, he didn't know what kind of coffee it was at all, and he often saw people on the Internet beeping to show off. Because of this famous coffee, the average person can't afford to drink it.
"That's right, that's the name, it sounds weird, it's related to that, it's still imported, this foreigner is really hardcore!" Listening to the masked man's voice, it really makes people can't swallow the cup of coffee in front of them, as if they are going to eat a fritter in WC.
"Hey, if you don't want me to drink, just say it early, don't pretend to be wide if you feel sorry for the money, I'm about to vomit by you, I have a shallow stomach! Do you know, this elephant coffee is processed from coffee beans that have been swallowed by elephants, fermented by the elephant's stomach and intestines, and eliminated from the body, not... Coffee like, and it's... Elephant coffee! "I couldn't find a more suitable word to describe it concretely, which made people confused.
"Haha, you don't say I really don't understand, but I don't understand after you say it, you say, is this like coffee?" The woman is full of cuteness.
"It's... Excrement! Zhong Sheng was completely speechless, anyway, it all came out of the same way, it's not but! Milk bear, why is it called such a name, it's really! Maybe after people eat it, it will live up to its name, will it be more flavorful? He imagined it dirty in his heart.
"Heh, we met today, not about elephant, but on other important matters that we need your help with. Let me briefly describe the situation: Do you remember 20 years ago, a bizarre car accident that killed a female passenger on the spot? "The woman gets to the point seriously." Gordon "His heart skipped a beat, it couldn't be a coincidence, right?" He quietly speculated in his mind.
"I've heard of it, but I haven't been to the court to fight a lawsuit, I heard that it was settled in private, I don't know what the specific situation is!" Zhong Sheng recalled it and said truthfully.
"However, if there is evidence now, it is very likely that it was a murder, and that the murderer was someone else, a murder that was carefully planned and disguised as an ordinary car accident and was carried out by a person. If that were the case, what would be the result? ”
"Although there is a 20-year limit for homicides, it does not mean that they will not be pursued, as long as there is evidence to prove the existence of the murderer, the investigation procedure can be initiated at any time to pursue the legal responsibility of the suspect. Could it be that this case has something to do with you? Zhong Sheng replied according to the law, suspiciously lit up the invisible face of the woman in front of him.
"It's my friend's business. There is no direct evidence, only circumstantial evidence, to prove this possibility. ”
"The possibility is subjective speculation, and does not represent legal facts, and without sufficient evidence, the public security will not file a case for investigation, the public security will not intervene, and the procuratorate will not intervene. This is the law, and no one takes it for granted! Speculation cannot be used as evidence! It can be said that it is a false accusation! To bear the corresponding legal responsibility! Tell your friends to think about the consequences before making a decision! After speaking, Zhong Sheng was a little discouraged, it turned out to be just a case of chasing after the wind and shadows.
It seems that at that time, the two sides reached a private agreement on this incident. Now that one party has repented, the money given has been spent, and he still wants to ask for more money from the party responsible for the incident, but the person is definitely unwilling to give it again, so he wants to use the deterrent power of the law to force the perpetrator to give some money, and if he does not give the money, he threatens to sue the official, which is more like extortion. This situation can be said to be the final result of the private settlement of personal injury cases, and it is universal. Zhong Sheng roughly sketched the ins and outs of this incident in his heart. The causes of the two cases are not related. In my heart, I kind of despise the client behind the scenes.
The conversation reached an impasse, and there was a moment of silence. The two took a sip of "coffee" and looked at each other, and the woman laughed "poof". "smells so good!" Joke.
"Boom—" retched exaggeratedly.
"Uncle, it's funny!" The woman teased and eased the dull atmosphere.
"Uncle is not funny, but the eldest sister is bored, delaying the uncle to watch TV at home and taste the famous tea Yaxing!" Zhong Sheng teased unpleasantly.
"What kind of tea does a cultivated person like my uncle like to drink? Another day, I'll find it, please ask my uncle to taste it, can you appreciate your face? The little woman said very sincerely.
"Master Kong Green Tea!"
"Haha...."The woman laughed so that her veil fluttered and her voice was crisp. You're coming, I'm serious! The woman gasped and laughed.
"Humph! I refused to show my face, and I tasted it another day, who could I lie! Zhong Sheng sneered dismissively. In this way, there are many people who come to consult and don't want to pay for the consultation. At the moment, this one is unsurpassed, for the sake of "", I won't care about her. Thinking like this in my heart, I didn't have the heart to laugh, and I was disheartened and wanted to get up and leave.
"Uncle originally thought like this, I don't show my face, I have a reason not to show my face, if the uncle is willing to take this case, it will not be too late for me to show my face again." The woman persistently persuaded Zhong Sheng to take over the case.
"This case, it's not that if I take over, there will be a result, but you don't have evidence at hand to prove the existence of the facts you said, what do you let me do? Well? Zhong Sheng said it very angrily, and it was useless to explain it to these people who didn't understand anything.
"You go and find it! If you want a clue, you have to find it yourself! I have everything, you and I have enough to eat, come here to listen to your blind beep, I don't know how to hand it to the public security and procuratorial departments, just wait for someone to be arrested. More than 20 years have passed since this incident, and many of the human and physical evidence at that time have not been left, and even the driver of the top bag has died. There is also an informed person---- the woman's husband, who is now crazy and stupid like an animal. I've been investigating this case for 2 months, I've interviewed all the witnesses, all the clues have been broken again, but fortunately, just when I was about to despair, I found these diaries, and everything changed at once! The woman took out a package from behind her and handed it to him, a stack, not light. I picked it up, opened it, pulled out a copy of it, and flipped it over. I know that this is the so-called diary I just talked about. The lights were too dim to make out what was going on.
"Go back and see again, don't worry!" The woman said coldly. "Now, you know why I'm sure! Without clues, I wouldn't think about it at all, and besides, the person behind the scenes is very likely to be in a high position at the moment, and it is both resistance and danger to re-investigate this matter. I tell you plainly, lest you be in real trouble, and say that I have harmed you. The woman calmly told him everything he knew, alerting him to the possible risks.
"It's what a private investigator does, I'm just a lawyer! To do such a thing, it is necessary not only to have enough brains, but also to be bold enough, and besides, the evidence obtained by private investigation cannot be used as evidence in court. Zhong Sheng said with some discouragement.
"As long as the truth is found, I can give an account to people. As long as there is truth, there is fairness and justice! The woman looked expectant, and said firmly.
"The truth is still a long way from fairness and justice!" Zhong Sheng looked at the masked woman with some worry, and guessed in his heart: Flower and moon appearance? Or is it a vulgar fan? If it's A, take it! If it's B, push it! In his heart he pondered. Because, he is not sure that he can find the truth, at least, he does not know anything about this matter in front of him. Like an ignorant student doing a multiple-choice question, he handed the correct answer to the dice. There is no dice in the hand, so judge by the appearance of a woman.
The woman didn't know what Zhong Sheng was thinking, and said confidently: "At least we can see the dawn." ”
"What are you doing now?" Zhong Sheng asked her curiously. "I didn't do anything, a housewife." The woman replied without thinking.
"Not like that!" He was skeptical of what the woman said.
"Is there a standard template for a housewife?" The woman asked rhetorically.
"No, but you don't!"
"Hehe, I told you that you don't believe it either, so it's better to save some tongue!" The woman unconsciously brushed her hair, but her fingers were blocked by the hat and veil. Stunned, she smiled when she saw Zhong Sheng's eyes burning like a thief in the dark.
Almost at the same time, Zhong Sheng thought that the woman sitting opposite was an elegant woman, which could be seen from the movements. The innate elegance of a woman, the hat and veil cannot be hidden. Like a rare wine, oak barrels cannot completely block its enchanting aromas.
"I've investigated you, and I've screened people who can do this, and I think you're still up to the task. Because, I don't know who to believe, in case a person who is a tofei person, he may not be able to find out anything Mingtang, but he will plant himself in it! Everything is going on in secret, and no one can be told until the truth is ascertained. This - you're a lawyer, much clearer than I should! Right? The woman whispered, her words full of mystery.
"Specifically, how to do it, you don't need to say, can I see your true face? Otherwise, it's hard for me to believe it's not a routine, or even a prank! A client who refuses to even show his face is hard to believe. At least, you don't trust me. You and I entrust both sides, and we don't even have a trust, so what kind of cooperation can we talk about!" He spoke to the woman's veil.
"Okay!" The woman irrefutably removed her hat and veil, and with a flicker, her hair fell apart like a waterfall. couldn't help but make Zhong Sheng gasp: It's so beautiful! The shock suddenly appeared, and he wanted to cover it again.
"Stay here for 10 seconds!" stared at the woman, looked at it for 10 seconds, and savored it in my heart, there was a kind of déjà vu beauty. Although the light is dim, it can still be clearly distinguished.
"Have you seen enough!" The woman urged proudly.
"Listen to it!" Zhong Sheng let out a long breath and said unwillingly. The tone is like opening a watermelon in this season, and the diners stared greedily for a while, only to find that they were having a stomach upset and couldn't enjoy it at all, and reluctantly watched it be picked up and taken away. Even if you taste it, you can't! My stomach hurts!
Bow your head and drink it all. The coffee in front of me was already cold, and the mellow taste was hidden deeper, but the most obvious thing was a bit of bitterness, in the mouth and in the heart. "I'll go back and read it before I reply." Zhong Sheng had a premonition in his heart that this matter was somehow related to what Lan Lan said, maybe it was the same thing, but it was just a different party, what a coincidence! "How do you get in touch?"
"WeChat!"
"Maserati?" He asked.
"Lamborghini?" She asked.
"Cut! Leave! He tilted his lips in acquiescence. Hurriedly bypassed the woman and walked out of the dark room. The woman didn't look back at him. In the veil, the smile is extremely charming. The melancholy song of "On the Shore of Lake Baikal" flowed through the cracks of the cracked door, the source of which was in the aisle, and the nine turns of the bowels.
Out.
The wind blew him very refreshingly, and the fragrance of the sand date flowers made him a little intoxicated, took a deep breath, and tasted it carefully in his heart: Such a day is so beautiful!
"I'm not going to be an evil man, am I? Why bother! He asked wistfully in his heart.
The moonlight and the night are beautiful. A few people laughed, a few sad! In this deep moonlit night.
