Shen Qianqian hesitated at home, from the living room to the bedroom, from the study to the balcony, she had wandered many times unconsciously. Although in her heart, the rational side provided her with countless reasons to "call Helian Yao", but her hands were always dominated by emotion. How many times it was just a gentle step at the end, but she would still quickly retract her hand like an electric shock, and then repeatedly unlocked the phone.

Shen Qianqian was also complaining about why she was so cowardly, obviously this idea was put forward by herself, and she swore in front of Liang Yubo and Shen Shengsheng, but now the opposite thing did happen to her. So, in the midst of all the anxiety and thoughts, Shen Qianqian fell into the abyss of endless self-blame and self-disgust.

The city under the indifferent light of the moon outside the window is still as sleepless as ever. And Shen Qianqian, who was on the other side of the window, was destined to be sleepless for this reason.

Early the next morning. Although Shen Qianqian was upset and tossed all night, and didn't take a nap until the sky was bright, but the weekday sounded in her head, although she was extremely reluctant, she didn't lie in bed for a long time after all. When the bell rang for the second time, Shen Qianqian quickly got up, washed, changed her clothes, had breakfast and hurried to the office. Although his own affairs are unresolved, he cannot affect his own work in the end. She naturally still has the basic qualities of these lawyers, or any profession.

When I arrived downstairs in the office, I happened to meet Liang Yubo when I was waiting for the elevator.

"Qianqian, it's early." Liang Yubo took the initiative to greet her first.

Shen Qianqian raised her hand and waved slightly, but her expression did not change much, and she replied lightly "Good morning".

Liang Yubo looked at Shen Qianqian's tired face, and although he wore makeup, the deep dark circles under his eyes were still obvious, and he knew that Shen Qianqian must have not slept well last night, so he cared: "Didn't you rest last night?" If you are in a bad state, or I will give you half a day off after I go up, you can go home first to catch up on sleep. ”

"No need." Shen Qianqian tried to squeeze out a little smile and explained, "It's okay, it's okay, I can do it." ”

"Qianqian, if you come to work in a bad state, you are irresponsible to both the parties and yourself." Liang Yubo said, "It's okay to be without you for a long time, you don't have to worry about this." ”

"I'm really fine." Shen Qianqian insisted, "In fact, insomnia is also a common thing, I'll go up and run for a coffee first." ”

"You ......" Liang Yubo obviously had something else to say, but at this time the elevator came. The waiting people swarmed into the small space in the elevator. Liang Yubo glanced at Shen Qianqian, but because there was a little distance between the two of them, and there were other colleagues, it was difficult to ask again, so he had to swallow the words back for the time being.

On the seventh floor, everyone rushed out of the elevator, and Shen Qianqian seemed to speed up her steps, and went straight to her office as soon as she got out of the elevator. Liang Yubo followed closely, but he still watched Shen Qianqian lock herself in the office. Liang Yubo looked at the closed door, sighed, and had to go to his office to work first.

On this day, Liang Yubo went out to the pantry several times, but he never met Shen Qianqian. When I asked other colleagues, I got the same answers: "I didn't see it" or "I didn't meet it". Liang Yubo thought to himself that maybe Shen Qianqian slept in his office, and it was unknown if she slept in her office, anyway, there was nothing important at the moment, so he went with her and didn't ask any more.

But who knew that after Liang Yubo thought about it like this, the boss over there came out and yelled at everyone to come into the office for a meeting. Liang Yubo waited for a while and didn't see Shen Qianqian come out, thinking that it was the "credit" of the soundproof door, so he walked over and knocked on the door, and shouted inside: "Qianqian come out quickly, it's time for a meeting!" ”

I knocked like this a third time, and when Liang Yubo stretched out his hand again, the door opened. Shen Qianqian in the door didn't look like she was catching up on sleep, and her expression was still a little confused. But now Liang Yubo didn't bother to ask more, pulled up Shen Qianqian and walked to the conference room.

Pushing open the door of the conference room, Liang Yubo found that everyone was basically there, just waiting for himself and Shen Qianqian. So he lowered his head and hurriedly sat down with Shen Qianqian.

The meeting was about a hit-and-run incident involving a rich second generation, who lost the case in the first instance but they refused to accept the verdict. So they came to them and asked for another appeal. The family was also quite famous, so the boss was so anxious to call everyone into the conference room. However, during the meeting, other people said everything you said, and Shen Qianqian's "absence" was particularly obvious. The whole process was quiet and quiet, and she was in a state of discouragement, not to mention what opinions and opinions she put forward, I'm afraid she didn't even know which case was being talked about at this meeting.

Liang Yubo was very worried about Shen Qianqian's appearance, and finally it was over, but Liang Yubo pulled Shen Qianqian and stayed until the end.

"Qianqian, what is your situation today?" Liang Yubo asked very seriously, "I think you don't just have insomnia, you seem to be out of your soul." What happened after you went back yesterday? ”

"It's nothing, it's just that nothing happened." Shen Qianqian lowered her head and lowered her eyes and replied honestly.

"Why did you lose sleep yesterday?" Liang Yubo then focused on the cause of Shen Qianqian's insomnia, "I felt that you were fine when you left yesterday." ”

"yes, that's good." Shen Qianqian continued to say without a match.

"Then why are you like this today?" Liang Yubo was very puzzled, "Who did you go to see after you left?" ”

"See? Met Shengsheng. Shen Qianqian said listlessly.

"You saw that Sheng Sheng was telling him about our analysis of the case." Liang Yubo thought about it, but still felt incredible, and said to himself: "That doesn't make sense." The facts of the case are very clear, and the chain of evidence is complete and sufficient, but the kidnapping case ......" Speaking of this, Liang Yubo finally understood.

"You're so worried because of the evidence in the kidnapping case?" Liang Yubo said tentatively.

Sure enough, Shen Qianqian, who heard the kidnapping case, seemed to be charged, and suddenly raised her head, but quickly denied it: "No, it's not because of this incident." ”

Liang Yubo saw Shen Qianqian's reaction, and naturally knew that he had guessed correctly. And the more Shen Qianqian denies it so vigorously, the greater the impact of this matter. He had already guessed that it must be because Shen Qianqian failed to ask Helian Yao generously about this case, so he was overly worried and caused insomnia and all kinds of other "disconnected" performances.

Liang Yubo thought that Shen Qianqian would not reveal anything again. Thinking of this, Liang Yubo also felt that he didn't need to ask Shen Qianqian anymore, so he followed her words: "It may be that you have been too busy recently and your brain is overloaded." Then you might as well go back to the office and get some rest. ”

Shen Qianqian lowered her head again, and then didn't say anything, just walked away silently. Seeing Shen Qianqian enter the office, Liang Yubo couldn't help but shake his head and sighed.

Liang Yubo, who returned to his office, hurriedly took out his mobile phone and called Shen Shengsheng. Although he felt that his conjecture was eighty or ninety percent sure, he still felt that it would be safer to confirm with Shen Shengsheng.

"Hey, who's that?" Shen Shengsheng's voice came over on the other end of the phone.

"Hello, I am Liang Yubo, a colleague of your sister Shen Qianqian." Liang Yubo first reported his home.

"Oh, it's Lawyer Liang." Shen Shengsheng reacted quickly, "That, what's the matter with you?" ”

"That's right, I want to confirm with you some questions about your sister." Liang Yubo didn't beat around the bush, so he asked straight to the point.

"About my sister?" Shen Shengsheng paused, and then continued, "What do you want to ask?" ”

"I heard from your sister that she went to see you yesterday after she left me." Liang Yubo first confirmed Shen Qianqian's itinerary.

"That's right, she told me about the results of your research." Shen Shengsheng confirmed that it was indeed true.

"So, she also mentioned your kidnapping?" Liang Yubo continued to confirm.

"Well, she said that she thinks this case is also being hit." Shen Shengsheng affirmed again.

"Okay, what did your sister say about Helian Yao, another witness in this case?" Liang Yubo finally asked the most critical question.

"What did my sister say?" Shen Shengsheng recalled for a while, and then replied, "My sister said that she would go to Helian Yao in person and ask him to testify in court, but ......"

"But what?" Liang Yubo hurriedly asked.

"My sister doesn't seem to have much hope, though." Shen Shengsheng replied, "What did she say, 'It is unknown whether Helian Yao will pay attention to us now, let alone ask him to testify in court' and 'Now she and Helian Yao are not even friends, and our Shen family and Helian family have nothing to do with each other'. Hey, I guess they're arguing again. ”

"Again?" Liang Yubo couldn't help but ask, "You mean to say that they often quarrel?" ”

"Oops, since they broke up, let's basically see each other once." Shen Shengsheng sighed, "It's probably the legendary 'love and kill'." My sister's temper is also lost to her. ”

"Okay, then I got it." When Liang Yubo heard this, he realized that his previous conjecture was correct. He thanked Shen Shengsheng for his confession, and then asked for Helian Yao's phone.

"Do you want Helian Yao's phone?" Shen Shengsheng was a little suspicious, but after thinking about it, Liang Yubo was the first lawyer in this case, and it was natural to contact witnesses, so he didn't think about asking more, and sent Helian Yao's number to Liang Yubo.

Liang Yubo looked at the number sent by Shen Shengsheng and hesitated for a while. But in the end, he resolutely dialed the number.
