I don't know why I can understand the meaning of Ah Zhong's words, the world will think of Mount Tai is "will be the top of the mountain, a glance at the mountains are small" famous sentence, but no one has ever cared about the bottom of Mount Tai What kind of scene is going on, the word "bottom of the mountain" is afraid of a kind of life perception, if the previous sentence of poetry is the pursuit of ideals, then the latter sentence should be a kind of avoidance.

"I actually got married once before, with my college classmate and of course my best work partner, and we founded this company together and designed a beautiful little house like Hill Bottom House together." Ah Zhong put down the teacup and took out a pipe from the drawer next to him, which was estimated to have not been opened for a long time, and as soon as a crack was revealed, a slightly thick smoke and dust filled the air. "Her name is Qing Zheng."

I was stunned, and I was still worried about whether to talk to Ah Zhong about such a problem, but he took the initiative to tell me some of these stories.

"I don't know why, Boss Liu, I haven't told anyone about these things for a long time, but when I see you, I have a desire to tell them." Ah Zhong smiled naturally. "That's interesting."

"Haha, Brother Zhang can say this, it makes me very ...... I'm very honored. ”

"I think it's probably because you may have a little bit of the same feeling I used to have. Seeing you is like seeing another me. ”

"Oh?" I'm a little incredible, Ah Zhong and I have just met today, and I don't know how to know what kind of person I am, I think this is the quality of an artist, there is always an indescribable mystery and profundity.

"You're going to want to know my ex-wife's story, aren't you?" She silently wiped the pipe, wiping away every grain of dust from it, so that I could slowly see the eye-catching word "Zheng" engraved on the pipe, which seemed to be the thing left to him by his ex-wife.

I actually don't understand why Ah Zhong wants to talk to me about this kind of thing, isn't it usually that everyone is quite taboo about this kind of thing and doesn't mention it? But from the bottom of my heart, I really wanted to hear his story, whether it was sad or happy.

"Qingzheng is my college classmate, to be precise, classmates, we are both architecture majors, and I was not sensible at that time, I learned to send flowers after watching Qiong Yao's, haha, people at that time were also simple, and a bouquet of flowers in exchange for her sincerity."

Zhang Zhong said this sentence with this smile on his face, and it was at this moment that I felt that the melancholy temperament of this "artist" had dissipated.

"After graduating, we founded together and it was also my best working partner, and my current company was actually founded by me and Qingzheng together." Ah Zhong slowly put the tobacco leaves into the pipe, and his eyes were full of memories.

"It's really good, the relationship between this student is actually the most valuable." I sighed. "She must be a very beautiful and kind person, right?"

A smile appeared on Ah Zhong's face. "Haha, that's not true. She is a very small person, and she is very competitive, and when I was with her, I always felt that she was outside the Lord and I was inside the Lord. ”

"So your ex-wife is such a woman, haha. I really didn't expect that. ”

"And I'm a person with a lot of nerves, sometimes she's angry, I don't even know what's going on, she's always guiding me. If it were someone else, it might not be very comfortable, but I like it very much, and if she doesn't lose her temper one day, I will feel a little uncomfortable. ”

Ah Zhong lit the tobacco leaves, and the faint smoke filled the tea room, bypassing the coffee table and the landscape paintings on the wall, as if bringing him into a vacuum world.

"In fact, if it weren't for her, maybe I wouldn't have chosen today's life, and I might be a free and easy person like you, and maybe I would open my own tea shop." Ah Zhong said. "The mountain house was originally designed by the two of us, and it was originally intended for a rich man who wanted to build a villa of his own, but when the drawings of the mountain bottom house were drawn, he was sarcastic and disagreed. Qingzheng came up with a temperament and had a big quarrel with the local tyrant, so the project of the mountain bottom house was aborted, and I discussed with Qing Zheng that we would build the mountain bottom house project by ourselves when we had money in the future. ”

"I think this is also related to some of your personalities, big brother, you said that you like to live a free and easy life, can this mountain bottom house be regarded as a destination for you after you become famous?"

"Boss Liu is right, Qingzheng promised me at that time, and if I make enough money, I will no longer be able to live that exhausting life, we will not chase anything, just live in seclusion at the foot of the mountain." Ah Zhong smiled as he spoke. "This sounds childish, doesn't it? It was like Li, but it was really our dream back then. ”

It turns out that there is such a story in this mountain bottom house, and when I understand all this, I feel that this empty room seems to be plump up all of a sudden, full of love.

"Big brother...... You have so many stories with her, so much affection, why do you ......" Actually, I know it's rude to ask this, but because Ah Zhong has been talking about her ex-wife from beginning to end, I have to wonder why the person who has been with him for so long has become his 'ex' wife?

"You want to ask why we separated, don't you?" Ah Zhong took a hard breath, and after the smoke, his melancholy face gradually resurfaced.

That fleeting smile disappeared at this moment.

He took a deep breath, showing a long-standing tiredness.

"I haven't dared to think about this for a long time, maybe I want to thank you, Boss Liu, today you gave me the courage to reminisce about this past story." Ah Zhong said with his lips twitching. "Actually, we didn't get divorced, it was she who disappeared."

"Gone?" I looked at him dumbfounded.

"He left without saying a word, leaving nothing behind."

"Why is this happening, is something going on between you and her?"

Mu Xi looked at the thick information of the parties on the table, and still couldn't swallow the sip of tea that he had buried in his mouth a long time ago. Painter, sculptor, these words jumped and twitched wildly before his eyes as if he had Parkinson's disease. Meng Yan on the sofa on the side also didn't say a word, and the silence had lasted for about 10 minutes. The leaves outside the window have been stripped of their vivid green this season, the sun shines on them with a lifeless yellow, and the curved outline of the skyline makes the whole picture look like an old photograph.

。

Finally, Meng Yan decided to break the silence, he slowly stood up, the moment the sofa foot rubbed against the wooden floor, his voice finally became a string of fireworks that destroyed this silent world, "Lao Mu, it's not me saying you, this case, we shouldn't take it, this kind of case involving artists has always been a good or bad result, it is a matter of course. The characteristics of an artist are to treat the abnormal as normal, and crime as inspiration, do you remember the last time the female performance artist in Beijing was a goddess who didn't toss us to death, and this time you are still asking for hardship like this. ”

"Goo" Muxi swallowed a sip of tea hard, then took out an iron cigarette case from his jacket pocket and lit a cigarette, "I didn't want to take it at first, but the party gave me a commission that I couldn't refuse before I could reply, and I think this case is still a bit interesting to say." Mu Xi looked at his cigarette case, there were still 5 cigarettes left, he couldn't do without this thing tonight, maybe it would be another sleepless night.

"I wonder what this is. His case is 96 years old, and now it's been 16 years, almost 20 years, why is this case only being tried now. Meng Yan casually flipped through the case materials on the table.

"Do you think about what was unusual about us here twenty years ago?"

"Big brother, don't be funny, I was a primary school student twenty years ago, even if there was anything big, I didn't know."

"Do you remember when we were building the No. 9 Park here, and the whole city was in an uproar."

"Oh, Park Nine. I remember that this was our first park with an amusement park, I remember that at that time we were poor here, not to mention amusement parks, there was not even a movie theater, and finally there was such a tall thing, how could it not be heavily promoted. ”

"Do you remember that time, when this park was first built, because the project was in a hurry, the protection of the shore of the lake was not perfect, and several people drowned in the lake."

"As soon as you say that, my long-sealed memory was awakened at once, I don't know why I was always dead during that time, my mother told me every day, don't go to play next to the lake in No. 9 Park, what dragon vein is there, we alarmed the dragon vein or something." When Meng Yan said this, he felt like he had been knocked over by something, and he couldn't stop, "I was really scared at the time, and I slipped over there quickly, for fear of being caught by some dragon, now that I think about it, it's really because the project is unqualified, doesn't it mean that the city has repaired it many times later?" ”

"Yes, that's right, after the frequent accidents at that time, the leading officials probably also felt that it was because they were in a hurry to make meritorious achievements that there were so many accidents, and they were afraid that the families of those victims would make a big publicity, so they privately compensated the families of those who had accidents. So after half a year, no one mentioned this matter much, and the city reinforced and rebuilt it several times, and nothing happened after that. Our case is related to a little girl who drowned at the time. As Muxi spoke, the cigarette was already halfway smoked, and the ash stuck to it and was crumbling.

"This kind of case should be difficult to confirm, because the scene must have been very chaotic at that time, and there is no sufficient evidence to confirm how the little girl fell into the water."

"Yes, but the party insisted that he pushed the little girl down, and it was true that that time was the time when the party was in school in Pingyuan County, in this case, the police department had to conduct an in-depth investigation of the party, and then found that the party had symptoms of schizophrenia, and after sending it to the hospital for confirmation by a psychiatrist, it was found that the party's schizophrenia was very serious, and the sub-personality did have "aggressive" characteristics. However, this situation is indeed quite special, and it has not been possible to fully confirm the case, so the trial has been entrusted until now. ”

"Therefore, the police department can only default to the fact that the person concerned is the murderer, and now the problem is that this kind of multiple personality crimes, how to determine the sentence, right?" Mu Xi silently walked to the window, and the wind suddenly rose outside the window, but the cool wind in autumn more or less made him a little more sober.

"In fact, there is no clear qualitative method for this kind of case, which is different from the general mental illness that can directly escape criminal prosecution, because although it is multiple personalities, because each personality is actually clear thinking, but if we can confirm which personality the person killed the person and confirm that the normal personality of the person is not deliberately releasing this aggressive personality, and then after treatment, the aggressive personality can be eliminated in the brain of the person, and the person can be acquitted."

"Then we will maintain a neutral attitude in court at that time, and there will definitely be a psychologist present to talk to the parties at that time, and we will confirm it according to the parties' descriptions of the case, right?"

"It's right to be neutral, but I still hope that the person concerned can be exempted from prosecution as much as possible, or in fact, the person may not be the murderer, and if he can save people, he will not kill people." Zhao Yu's cigarette had been extinguished at his fingertips because of a long period of idleness, and he had already rekindled the cigarette while he was saying this.

"In any case, it is necessary for us to talk to the client again before the formal trial to see what his situation is." Xie Ming took off his coat hanging on the hanger,

"Let's go, without further ado, I'll drive this time."

Bang bang, bang bang.

Mu Xi knocked on the heavy wooden door, while exclaiming that he couldn't imagine that the party would live in such a mansion, there is such a European-style villa between the layered shopping malls and office buildings in the central district of the city.

The knock on the door is like the sound of fallen leaves in a valley, in a city full of skyscrapers. So weak, so shallow.

The door was carefully opened in the night, and a sharp light cut through the thick darkness, and the strong glare made the two waiting outside the door couldn't help but stumble back two steps. A pair of crescent-like eyes appeared in this place where the bright light meets the darkness.

A graceful figure gradually moved from behind the door to the center of the two men's field of vision.

"You, aren't you the actress?" Meng Yan couldn't help but exclaim, "That ...... who plays the queen" He hadn't finished speaking, but he felt that it was a little inappropriate for him to be so abrupt, and then he tried his best to suppress what he was about to say.

"You must be two barristers from Jingcheng's firm, come in," the woman said, pulling them into the lavish villa.

Imprinted on Meng Yan's eyes are the oil paintings on the wall, these oil paintings at first glance, full of strange taste, because the color of these oil paintings and the interior decoration are completely incommensurate, the bright colors are like a raging flame, people from the soles of the feet are burned faintly painful. But if you look more closely at these paintings, you will find that in fact, the same woman is hidden under these gorgeous appearances, and these bright colors are just the clothes on the woman's body, and all these exquisite paintings are painted in front of Meng Yan's eyes of the actress.

"I'm really going to ask you two for my lover." The woman beckoned the two lawyers to sit down, "I haven't introduced myself to the two of you yet, just now this gentleman seems to recognize me, yes, I'm the actress who often plays the queen mother, you can just call me mustard seed." "Women are indeed very likable from figure to appearance, and it is no wonder that she is one of the most famous actresses now, and the party in this case will be the husband of this big star, which is indeed something that the two lawyers did not expect at all.

"Hello, my name is Muxi, and this is my partner named Meng Yan." Muxi stretched out the hand that had been hidden in his coat, ready to shake hands with Mustard, but the moment he touched the woman's fingertips, he instinctively retracted his hand violently,

It was like the temperature of the moon, and it was so cold that it made people's hearts throb.

"I'm really sorry, I just came back from the set, and the set was so cold." Mustard glanced at Xie Ming with guilt, and hurriedly retracted his hand.

Meng Yan had not looked at him since he entered the house, he sat motionless on the sofa, and did not want to shake hands with the beautiful mustard lady, because he noticed the figure of a man walking towards the living room.

The man is quite handsome, but his messy hair has almost ruined all his image, and the black circles under his eyes can be seen that he has endured insomnia all year round, and the black and white striped shirt on his body, which is normal, looks a little more sick on this man.
