Chapter 7: I want to tell the truth

Xu Xiaxi was startled by the girl's sharp voice, and hurriedly shook her head, "No, I'm just an assistant, not a lawyer!" ”

"You must know the law very well, you must be able to help me, right?" The girl's eyes were brighter, and she refused to let go of Xu Xiaxi's hand.

Xia Xi was simply suffering, but in view of a certain careful thought in her heart, she did not say that she was just a layman, and asked lightly: "Have you encountered any trouble?" ”

The girl nodded again and again, and led Natsuki to the cubicle where she usually rested.

It was full of miscellaneous items, and I could barely move out of the two seats.

The girl scratched her head and explained awkwardly, "No one will come here for the 'wish'." ”

Xu Xiaxi waved his hand, indicating that he didn't mind, and asked directly: "What do you want to say?" ”

Maybe Xu Xiaxi's attitude was too gentle, or maybe her 'hero saving beauty' action just now was too heroic, and the girl really said everything about herself defenselessly.

"My name is Yang Qian, my father's name is Yang Lian, and he used to be a construction site worker. One night three years ago, he was riding his bicycle home from work on Fuqian Road when he was hit by a minibus while passing under the bridge.

Instead of taking my father to the hospital, the driver of the bus hit and killed my father again. But the prosecutor's office shielded the villain, saying that the other party was only negligent, ruled out intentional homicide, and only prosecuted him on suspicion of traffic accidents......"

Yang Qian talked about Yang Lian's case intermittently, and Xu Xiaxi listened in horror on the side, only to feel that something in her bag was burning hot - it was the pocket watch she brought back yesterday.

Xu Xiaxi forced himself to stabilize his mind, tried to pretend to be calm, and asked, "Who is the driver you are talking about?" ”

Yang Qian put away her crying all of a sudden, her face was full of resentment, and she said word by word: "His name is Chen and Jing!" He was my father's murderer! ”

Really!

She had already recognized Yang Qian as the girl she saw the photo yesterday, so she went up to solve the siege in person just now.

The broken piece of the puzzle in Xu Xiaxi's heart found a key piece, but then there were more doubts.

Xia Xi paused and continued to ask, "How do you know that the person who killed your father is Chen Jing?" ”

"I know, that's him! There is no one else but him! You have to believe me, trust me! Yang Qian pulled Xu Xiaxi and shouted in a sharp and stubborn voice.

Xu Xiaxi was afraid that she would be too excited, so she had to nod her head first and reassure: "Okay, good, good, I believe you, you calm down first." And then what? Since you said that the murderer was Chen Jing, what happened later? ”

Yang Qian's eyes were red and swollen, full of resentment and anger, "The hateful thing is that this person has a relationship with both the procuratorate and the court." Those people were all protecting him, and they even said that if he died, the case would be closed casually!

I think he simply absconded in fear of sin, but my poor father died so inexplicably, and there is no explanation so far! I, I ......"

Yang Qian's voice choked up again, and Xu Xiaxi couldn't help but feel sad when she heard it.

Xia Xi hugged Yang Qian's petite body and comforted her softly, but the doubts in her heart became even greater.

Yang Qian doesn't seem to know that Chen Jing is really dead?

Or, Chen Jing is not actually dead?

She now has too few clues to make an accurate judgment, which leads to greater doubts.

And what she found in the dark grid, who put it in?

And for what?

It seems that if she wants to understand the truth, she has to change her path.

At this time, neither of them noticed that the door of the cubicle showed a gap.

Outside the door, a tall figure was standing, silently listening to the conversation between the two of them.

Then he quietly left.

————

Xu Xiaxi said hello to his colleagues and went home by himself.

Along the way, she still looked preoccupied, repeatedly pondering what Yang Qian had said and what she had seen in the dark.

Xu Xiaxi opened the door and changed his shoes in front of the shoe cabinet, when the phone that came with the mobile phone system rang.

She took off her shoes and pulled her phone out of her pocket.

After seeing the phone number displayed on the mobile phone screen, Xu Xiaxi paused.

Ms. Xiao.

Xu Xiaxi took a sip and picked up the phone. "Mom......"

"Xiaoxi, how are you doing?" The female voice inside was gentle and loving, with obvious concern.

Xia Xi hurriedly responded: "I'm fine!" Mom, you don't have to worry about me! ”

Ms. Xiao: "The weather is changing a lot now, you have to pay attention to your clothes and don't catch a cold." Is there enough money? Do you need to ...... it?"

Even though Xu Xiaxi is 26 years old this year, not 6 years old, Ms. Xiao is surprisingly consistent every time she calls.

At the end, it was the same sigh again, "You child, I asked you to return to China before and then I came here, I will take good care of you, you have to stay in Haishi, and I don't know what is good there!" ”

Xia Xi interrupted Ms. Xiao's nagging bitterly: "Mom, I'm not a child, I'll take care of myself, don't worry about me!" Besides, I've got a job, so don't worry about me! ”

"Got a job? When did it happen? I called you two days ago, why didn't I hear you mention it? Ms. Xiao's voice was a little suspicious.

Xu Xiaxi sighed in his heart, and hurriedly explained: "I was busy with work two days ago, and I ...... I forgot. ”

Reluctantly found an explanation, but Ms. Xiao on the other end of the phone obviously didn't believe it, and her voice was slightly raised, "Xu Xiaxi, are you doing something bad behind my back again?" ”

"I didn't!" Xu Xiaxi replied in a loud and hurried voice, and immediately realized that he was a little too nervous, slowed down again, and said coquettishly: "Don't you know your daughter yet?" I'm very well-behaved, you can rest assured! ”

"Humph!" Ms. Xiao said that she had doubts about this sentence, but she did not press on, but just lowered her voice and said a warning.

"Xu Xiaxi, remember what you promised me! I hope you don't get involved in those things again in your life. ”

The harshness in the words is clearly visible.

Xu Xiaxi couldn't agree as readily as before this time.

She suddenly felt her pocket be pulled suddenly, and then she saw a sturdy figure rushing out.

"Lolo!" Xu Xiaxi shouted.

"What's wrong? What's wrong? ”

Xia Xi held the mobile phone and hurriedly explained: "Luo Luo took my things away, I'll go toss it first, let's not talk about it first, that's all, bye!" ”

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

Xu Xiaxi breathed a sigh of relief.

Thankfully, it was not discovered.

If Ms. Xiao knew that she would work in a law firm as soon as she returned to China, I am afraid that she would immediately fly over from Beijing and dismantle her.

Xu Xiaxi looked at his mobile phone and didn't have time to breathe a sigh of relief.

Suddenly, there was a 'clang', like the sound of metal falling to the ground.

Metal?!!

Natsuki jerked her head up and saw Luo Luo holding the pocket watch chain that she had just stolen from her jacket pocket.

The chain is very long, Luo Luo landed steadily, and the delicate pocket watch was ......

"Lolo!!" Xu Xiaxi angrily went to grab the pocket watch.

Unexpectedly, Luo Luo's posture was vigorous, and he dodged Xu Xiaxi's hand with a dodge, and walked quickly under the sofa.

The sound of 'clang' and 'clang' continued......

Xu Xiaxi hid his face and felt that he was going to cry!

That's an important piece of evidence!

This dead cat!

Xu Xiaxi gritted his teeth, and for a moment wanted to eat cat meat.

Fortunately, before Xiao Luo Luo could get into the sofa, the pocket watch fell to the ground.

Natsuki walked over quickly and picked up the pocket watch.

It looked fine, not even scratches, but when her fingers lifted the lid of the watch, there was a crisp 'ticking' sound from the pocket watch.

Immediately after, a rustling sound came from the pocket watch.

"I ...... I can't stand it, I'm going to tell the truth, I ...... What to do......"

The hoarse and low male voice was staccato and barely audible at first, and then only a rustling murmur remained.

Xu Xiaxi held the pocket watch, his face full of disbelief.

I hurriedly flipped through the recording and listened to it back and forth more than a dozen times.

"I ...... I can't stand it, I'm going to tell the truth, I ...... What to do......"

Every time, only the rustle was left in the most critical part, and Xu Xiaxi's excitement fell to a low point again, even more depressed than when he didn't find the recording.

No matter how much she tried to keep the noise down and quiet, she couldn't hear the rest of the recording.

It's the recording itself that is flawed!

The recording in the pocket watch was so old that the carrier was so old that the recording was damaged.

Xu Xiaxi was about to vomit blood, so he could only comfort himself that it was a clue!

She looked at the pocket watch in her hand, and at the kitten with its head emerging from under the couch.

It's hard to put into words.

In the end, Xu Xiaxi rewarded the kitten with a can.

Holding his chin and thinking: the pocket watch was so hidden, then this recording must also be crucial evidence.

It would be best if you could figure out what the recording was going to do, and even if it didn't, you had to figure out who was speaking.

Given that the owner of this pocket watch should be Chen Jing, who committed suicide in his office three years ago, maybe......

Did she really find a treasure?!

Early the next morning, Xu Xiaxi couldn't wait to return to Wanzong Law Firm, she did not look for Fu Lichen, but went to the office of director Long Kun.

When he knocked on the door and entered, Long Kun just put down the phone and saw Xu Xiaxi, his expression stiffened for a moment, but he immediately showed an official smile and asked gently: "Xia Xi, how are you doing in the office these days?" Still used to it? ”

A good boss who cares about his subordinates.

The doubts in Xu Xiaxi's mind flashed, so he didn't take it to heart, thinking that Long Kun was studying her work these days, and replied decently: "Recently, Lawyer Fu arranged for me to go to the archives to sort out the old files from three years ago, and I learned a lot. ”

Although she was dissatisfied with Fu Lichen, Xu Xiaxi also understood that for her, the job assigned to her by Fu Lichen could help her understand the process of the litigation case in the shortest possible time.

Long Kun glanced at Xu Xiaxi meaningfully, and repeated with a smile: "Lawyer Fu? That's what you usually call him? ”

Of course not!

Xu Xiaxi is usually not called Fu Lichen.

was directly pointed out, Xu Xiaxi was a little embarrassed and a little puzzled - Long Kun seemed to know her and Fu Lichen's old grudge very well.

Long Kun saw Xu Xiaxi's doubts at a glance, and said with a leisurely smile: "I am Li Chen's direct senior. However, Xia Xi, you've been here for so long, don't you know that I also graduated from NTU?! ”

The ridiculous tone made Xu Xiaxi very embarrassed, her mind was full of files to be sorted out and Chen Jing's case these days, and she didn't think about understanding those gossips at all.

Xu Xiaxi was laughed uncomfortably by Long Kun, so he was embarrassed to ask if Fu Lichen instructed the other party to recruit him.

She pursed her lips slightly, decided to ignore these things for the time being, and asked instead: "I heard that our current archives were formerly Lawyer Chen Jing's office?" ”

When he heard Chen Jing's name, Long Jing's face changed instantly, but he quickly calmed down again, but there was no smile on his face, and he just said lightly: "That house is the most spacious office in our firm, and it is in the innermost part of the law firm, the environment is dark and dry, which is the most suitable for placing files." However, in recent years, our law firm has been engaged in paperless archives......"

Long Kun said it lightly, methodically, and completely formulaically introduced the advantages and disadvantages of that office to Xu Xiaxi, and then extended to the management of the entire law firm's files.

Xu Xiaxi listened very carefully at first, but gradually, she suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Long Kun, it seems that he is diverting her attention?!
