Chapter 51: Pretending to be light
Through Li Jian's narration, the partners of the detective agency all knew that the surveillance lawyer Chen Haoming had been discovered by the client. Everyone has made suggestions and suggestions, hoping to relieve the pressure in Zeng Lei's heart in this way. However, although Chen Haoming's warning made Zeng Lei feel uneasy, Zeng Lei's determination to investigate the serial disappearance case has never diminished. He is willing to take setbacks as nourishment and difficulties as opportunities, and he wants to be a strong man who becomes more and more courageous the more frustrated, rather than a realistic deserter.
One day, when everyone was in a meeting at the detective office to discuss the case, Li Jian said angrily: "Chen Haoming, this guy is really cunning. We did it so secretly, and he even saw through it. ”
Zeng Lei shook his head and smiled bitterly: "He knew that we were investigating him, and he dared to fight us head-on, which shows his courage and the depth of the city." ”
"Why was Hu Meimei's disappearance forgotten by everyone so quickly? Why do the media invariably shift their attention to Chen Haoming? Li Jian asked puzzled.
"Because it was Teacher Hu Meili who caused a primary school student to commit suicide. And this incident is a big scandal for Hu Meili and Shuguang Primary School! Zeng Lei replied without thinking.
"Scandal? So what? That kid is dead, and although the truth is cruel, it has happened, and no one can go back, right? What's more, Teacher Hu regretted it very much, repented, and apologized publicly, she has been criticized by everyone and has been punished, isn't this enough? Do you have to let her accompany her to the funeral? Li Jian continued to ask.
"Ugly things can cause public outrage, and it's too late for people to hate her, so how can they care about her life or death? Maybe her disappearance will make some people overjoyed, or even gloat! Ah Chao said leisurely while fiddling with his laptop.
"That's true." Zeng Lei nodded in agreement and continued: "In contrast, people prefer to see the victim under the nine springs, and even have someone to bury him. They also do not want to see the relatives of the victims only receive so-called apologies and financial compensation. For a person's life, no matter what kind of moral or material compensation is received, it is only a reparation, and the deceased can no longer live forever. ”
Zeng Lei's words pierced the hearts of everyone in the detective office like a sharp sword. When it comes to the attitude towards life, the atmosphere is naturally solemn. The cruelty of reality can really make people shudder at times. But since you have entered this industry, aren't these all things that everyone has to face at any time? Everyone wants to face everything in the world with a normal heart.
Zeng Lei looked at everyone, turned his eyes to Ye Zi, and asked calmly: "Do you have any work arrangements for everyone tomorrow?" ”
Ye Zi nodded: "Yes, but it's not in a hurry, I can cooperate with you." ”
Zeng Lei shook his head: "No, I didn't mean that." He looked at everyone again, briefly recalled what Ye Zi had just said, and felt warm in his heart and felt very relieved.
"If you don't have any urgent cases in your hands tomorrow, let's take a day off! It's been a hard time, and I thank you. Zeng Lei stood up and bowed to everyone seriously.
Zeng Lei's bow without warning frightened everyone, and they all stood up and looked at Zeng Lei in surprise.
"Brother Lei, what's wrong? Is something wrong? Yoon Jung-woo asked worriedly.
"It's okay, the case needs to be investigated, but our strings are too tight, and it's time to relax." Zeng Lei pretended to smile lightly: "Don't worry, I will rest tomorrow." We'll start again the day after tomorrow! ”
"Good!" Everyone spoke in unison.
That night, Li Jian and Yin Zhengyu drank and chatted together at the bar.
"I'll ask you something, and you'll have to answer me seriously." Li Jian said seriously.
"You ask." Yin Zhengyu said while holding the wine glass.
Li Jian asked a little mysteriously, "What do you think of the leaves?" ”
"Leaves?" Yin Zhengyu thought for a while and said, "She works very seriously, she is also very careful in her work, and she has a sense ......of responsibility," Yin Zhengyu said seriously.
"Fuck off!" Li Jian impatiently interrupted Yoon Jeong-woo's words.
"What's wrong? Am I not right? What do you think is wrong with her? Yin Zhengyu was confused, showing a puzzled look.
"I was asking if you like her?" Li Jian blurted out.
After listening to Li Jian's words, Yin Zhengyu smiled evilly and asked, "Who doesn't like such a good girl?" ”
Li Jian was stunned, then embarrassedly piled up a smirk, "oh", and continued to drink.
"But a gentleman doesn't win people's love, and I have nothing to think of her." Yin Zhengyu took a sip of wine and stared at Li Jian with his spare eyes and said.
"What?" Li Jian was suddenly shocked. "Who else likes her? Are you saying that Ah Chao likes her too? Li Jian suddenly became nervous.
"Haha, haha......" Yin Zhengyu couldn't help laughing, "Isn't you kid not admitting himself?" What do you want? I'm not talking about Ah Chao, it's you, who can't tell that you like leaves? ”
"You scared me, me, am I that obvious?" Li Jian felt a false alarm and relaxed the corners of his mouth slightly. Hearing Yin Zhengyu say this, he couldn't help but ask a little proudly: "How do you see it?" Am I acting that obviously? ”
"Is it obvious?" Yin Zhengyu accentuated his tone and asked rhetorically. "Brother, you're not ordinarily obvious, you're a nymphomaniac!"
Li Jian smiled "hehe" and said beautifully: "Then let's talk about it, don't rob me, I'm going to chase her." ”
"I wish you a successful hug, cheers!" Yoon Jung-woo raised his glass.
"Thanks, cheers!" Li Jian also raised his wine glass, and the two clinked glasses and drank them all.
