Chapter 7 No matter how hard life is, you have to work

Zhang San at this moment, what is he doing?

He was downstairs at the scene of the crime, watching silently for a long time.

The photographs of the crime scene, he had seen countless times from Alice's files.

Even now, as long as he closes his eyes, he can see everything that happened in the room on the second floor of the commercial and residential apartment building at the scene of the crime.

This ability is not innate, but a unique reasoning ability after handling many criminal cases.

Some criminal investigation experts, senior detectives of the investigation department, and even excellent prosecutors of the district prosecutor's office have certain on-the-spot reasoning skills.

Zhang Yi naturally has it, and he is very good at it.

And he was at the entrance of the evacuation passage downstairs at the moment, his eyes staring in front of him, his eyes staring at the fire staircase downstairs and behind the second floor for a long time.

He wondered if there was another possibility.

Whether someone went up the fire staircase to the second floor and then killed the deceased without the knowledge of the rest of the house, and then walked out with their whole body.

And Zhou Ping'an was framed by the real murderer and became a scapegoat?

"The question is, what about motivation?" Zhang Yi frowned, thinking of something.

"The social relationship of the deceased Tan, Alice should have documents, but why didn't she take it out, or did she not prepare at all?"

On closer thought, it's the latter that is a little more likely.

All right......

In criminal defense, the common mistakes made by rookie lawyers, the girl stepped on them all accurately.

Then Zhang Yi would also think that this girl may not have considered the social relationship of the deceased Tan at all, but focused on the defendant Zhou Ping'an.

Zhang Yi smiled, this is a newcomer!

As long as it can be proved that the party is innocent, then it will be fine, so rookies will focus too much attention on the party and ignore other factors.

As everyone knows, if you want to really help the parties, then you must know more things than the investigation department and the prosecutor, and spend more energy than them to collect more information than everyone else, so as to really have an advantage.

"Alright, that's all for today."

Zhang Yi looked at it a few more times and decided to leave.

He said he would go.

He is now thinking about whether to go to the "Xiaoli Health Center" or the "Sister Fang Foot Bath" to rest at night.

But when he returned to the old neighborhood of Chunfeng Road, he saw a group of uniformed people escorting a pair of men and women out of the shop with pink lights on the side of the street.

", sweep the yellow!"

Seeing this scene, Zhang Yi, as an old driver, naturally noticed it for the first time.

"This gentleman, the Sheriff's Office is handling the case here, please retreat!"

At that moment, a female voice rang out.

Zhang Yi looked back and saw a young lady in uniform staring at him a little crampedly.

This young lady looks like a rookie who has just entered the industry, and everyone looks like a bad person, and when she stares at Zhang Yi at the moment, her legs and feet are a little trembling.

The person in front of you, who doesn't sleep at night, is he a bad person?

At this moment, Tie Cuicui thinks so.

"Excuse me...... You, you are...... Ready to go prostitution? ”

Therefore, she was even less courageous, and she didn't even dare to look at Zhang Yi's face, so she could only lower her head and ask in a whisper, speaking in a low voice like a mosquito.

"Ah, what, I live in the innermost apartment...... Hahaha, I live in an apartment and I'm going back to sleep...... Little sister vigilante, goodbye ha......"

Zhang Yi was speechless, but he hurriedly said a perfunctory word, he pointed to the innermost, and then quickly flashed.

But while flashing, Zhang Yi muttered inwardly: My luck shouldn't be so bad, why did the public security bureau sweep away pornography just after I had the idea of prostitution?

Wrong......

My luck should be good.

If you are unlucky, it should be the same as the group of men who were arrested, when they were prostituting inside, they suddenly encountered a sweep of pornography!

I was in the criminal intent stage, and then the crime was suspended because of the Sheriff's action to catch prostitutes, and the established facts of the crime were not achieved.

And the group of men who were arrested were the real ones who were stolen!

Right!

Thinking about it this way, Zhang Yi felt that his luck was actually good, because people with bad luck should have been taken away.

If you want to say that the only thing that is a pity, it may be the young ladies who were brought out by the security guards, one by one, wearing thin clothes, standing in such a cold night, which is strange and distressing.

I wish I could give them warmth......

This group of vigilantes, how can they be such beasts?

……

When he walked to the end of the street corner and returned to his old dilapidated apartment, Zhang Yi hurriedly opened the door and went in.

Although the apartment is small, he basically purchased everything in the supermarket at the entrance of the street, bedding, toiletries, and even a change of clothes.

For him who has been wandering for 3 years, this place is already very good.

When he was abroad, he slept in the open air, lived in bridges and caves, and even spent the night in the pile of dead people.

Therefore, this place made him feel inexplicably warm.

"It's not early, go to sleep."

Looking at the time, it was almost 12 o'clock in the evening, and it was time for me to rest early.

He lay down and slept, without any delay.

As the drowsiness grows, you have to slowly fall asleep.

Knock knock!

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps.

In the middle of the night, the sound was so noisy and harsh that the sleepiness that had just flooded in his brain gradually dissipated.

"It's someone upstairs!"

When he heard the voice, he knew that someone from upstairs had returned.

"Anyway, you can't ......"

Zhang Yi is about to complain.

Why did they come back at this point?

What kind of profession is this, is he a lawyer like him?

All he could think of was lawyers, programmers, etc., who needed to work overtime so late, right?

Bear with it, after all, everyone is upstairs and downstairs neighbors.

As soon as he thought about it, sleepiness swelled up, and he was preparing to go again.

After 30 minutes......

Thundered!

The sound of an engine motor sounded abruptly in the silent night.

it!

Zhang Yi woke up in shock, and he was about to burst into foul language.

At such a big night, in such a quiet night, you actually drive a motorcycle?

And it's a self-modified engine and engine, so it's so loud.

Believe it or not, I'm suing you for disturbing the people?

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

Outside, the sound of the engine was still noisy, like a wild beast roaring.

Just when Zhang Yi almost couldn't help but open the door and window to meet this "good neighbor", the voice finally stopped.

Knock knock!

There was another sound of stairs walking.

Apparently, the motorcyclist also lives on the second floor, that is, upstairs.

Resisting the urge to beat people, Zhang Yi finally forced himself to endure it.

After all, it's not like people get off work so late and come back so late, it must be because of work, and they are also very tired.

With such thoughts, Zhang Yi planned to sleep.

After all, although the neighbors upstairs are noisy, they are just like that, and when they come back at night, they are more noisy.

I guess when they get back to their rooms, they'll fall asleep quickly.

With this thought, Zhang Yi planned to fall asleep again, and his eyelids became a little heavy, and he was about to close them.

Another 30 minutes later......

β€œOh~”

β€œcome baby~”

This time, it was Zhang Yi's next door that made a sound, not the two neighbors upstairs.

And this voice is definitely obscene.

Zhang Yi's eyes widened and he looked next door in disbelief.

The neighbor next door is actually watching *****!

This kind of film usually takes more than 90 minutes, or 12 minutes!

Zhang Yi was about to cry.

I just want to get some sleep, why is it so difficult?

First there are the two neighbors who came back after 12 o'clock, and then the bastard next door who watched the movie in the middle of the night.

It's almost 1 o'clock in the middle of the night, how can anyone still watch the movie, it's just crazy!

And this frantic neighbor obviously didn't plan to fast forward, so he really kept playing the whole thing, and didn't skip a single plot.

, there are still people who don't drive fast forward when they watch AV?

Aren't you bored?

It lasted until about 2 a.m.

When he heard the movement next door finally disappeared, Zhang Yi finally closed the futon with some sour eyelids, and then fell asleep.

……

The next day, 8 a.m.

Knock knock!

There was another knock on the door, Zhang Yi opened his sleepy eyes, and then stood up mechanically with his messy hair.

"These dog-day neighbors, if I hadn't calmed down a little recently, I would have to be honest with you to the end!"

After complaining, he hurriedly opened the door of the room, and then saw the unhappy boss.

"Zhang Yi, what do you mean, what time is it, why don't you come to work in the law firm!"

As soon as they met, Alice pointed to her wrist, which was as white as snow, to remind the person in front of her to pay attention to the time.

"You are the cleaner of our law firm, you need to go to the law firm in advance, didn't I tell you more than once, how dare you sleep lazy!"

Disgusted and scolded not cool enough, Alice directly crossed her hands on her waist, and the eldest lady's temper appeared directly.

"Boss, I want to change dorms!"

But Zhang Yi also had bitterness in his heart at the moment, he pointed to the next door and upstairs, and asked: "None of them are people, they only come back at night, the sound is very loud, there are people next door who don't sleep at night, I can't help it!" ”

Hearing Zhang Yi's complaints, Alice smiled: "It's all neighbors, just bear with it, I won't confiscate your rent, just get used to it~"

"You ......"

Seeing Alice like this, Zhang Yi was speechless.

"Hurry up, the law firm is still waiting for you to clean up!"

Alice urged again, and then calmly returned to the law firm under the escort of the maid Tracy.

"Okay, I'll bear with it, I'll clean you up when I get back!"

Seeing that Alice didn't care about herself, Zhang Yi could only glare at the next few rooms, and warned him in his heart.

If these three neighbors don't know about convergence, he will let the gang know what the real truth is!

Don't offend a lawyer by messing with anyone, it's common sense!

I hope they don't know what to do!

After washing, clean up briefly.

Zhang Yi felt that he was OK, so he came to the law firm in a hurry.

His job is that of a cleaner, so he naturally needs to sweep and mop the floor.

Fortunately, there is no toilet in the law firm, and he does not need to hold a toilet, so his work is relatively easy.

Just as he was sweeping the floor, Zhang Yi heard a conversation from the office inside.

He leaned to the door, and faintly heard the voices of Alice and a man inside.

"Lawyer Li, then I will leave it to you, this case must be won."

"Don't worry, I, Li Jianren, will go out and ensure that this case will be handled properly!"

With the man's assurance, the office door creaked open.

I saw a man wearing gold-rimmed glasses and a proud face walk out.

Lawyer!

At the first glance of this person, Zhang Yi knew that this was a peer, and the level was not good.

It belongs to the kind of chicken flock that is relatively top-notch, but after all, it is only the level of a chicken, and it is not even a chicken head.

"Alice, who is this?"

"Oh, his name is Zhang Yi, and he's a new cleaner in our law firm."

"Zhang Yi?!"

When Li Jianren heard this name, he almost couldn't hold back.

Boy!

The same name as the legendary ace barrister!

"Hmph, since you're a cleaner, get out of the way, don't get in the way!"

Thinking that the other party's identity was just a cleaner, Li Jianren didn't even look at it with a straight eye, snorted coldly, and walked straight in front of Zhang Yi.

Seeing this, Zhang Yi hurriedly rushed to Alice's side, and at the same time pointed to the person who left just now: "Boss, this lawyer Li, he ......"

"He is the "listed lawyer" of my law firm, and I have a cooperative relationship with Mr. Li."

"Oh, it's listed."

Zhang Yi nodded.

The so-called listed lawyer is a lawyer who is affiliated with an ace law firm to take on cases.

A lawyer cannot take on a case on his own, and the client must sign a contract with the law firm before the law firm appoints a lawyer.

The listed lawyer has his own ability to accept and handle cases, but there is a lack of law firms, so he will choose to be affiliated with a small law firm and specifically name his contract.

Of course, the cases taken by this kind of listed lawyer are generally handled unilaterally by themselves, and the degree of freedom is very high.

A part of the lawyer's fees earned from the case will also be given to the law firm, but the big head is in the hands of the other party, and the small head is earned by the law firm.

This is completely different from a "salaried lawyer".

Salaried lawyers, that is, the dead wages given by the law firm, or a pitiful share, and the majority of the income from the case is all on the side of the law firm.

Generally, the salary of salaried lawyers is basically fixed, for example, the two current "future soldiers" of the law firm, Sun Dasheng and Zhu Tianpeng, they belong to the law firm's trainee salaried lawyers.

By the way, Alice's salary is really pitiful.

Sun Dasheng and Zhu Tianpeng, the internship salary is only 2,500, and even Wang Momo and Li Mengluo's clerk internship salary is only 1,800.

This is Dongfang City, the most economically prosperous city in the south of the Dragon Kingdom, and as an employee of the law firm, the salary cannot even reach the threshold of the basic minimum wage of 2550.

Therefore, Alice's soul is probably in the shape of a capitalist.

"Alright, alright, you hurry up and get to work!"

Alice waved her hand, then turned her head back to the room, but the moment the door was closed, Zhang Yi found that a trace of sorrow flashed between the girl's eyebrows.

"Is this something unhappy?"

The little girl is like this, although she tries to pretend to be an adult, but the things in her heart can't be hidden, and it's easy to show it on her face.

The pretense of being calm in the morning is just because I need to maintain the majesty of the boss when I meet with the listing lawyer.

And after Lawyer Li left, Alice's thoughts finally couldn't be hidden.

Zhang Yi made a note of this, and then continued to start cleaning, sweeping what should be swept and mopping what should be mopped.

Soon, the friends of the law firm came.

"It was that Li slut who left just now, I saw it from afar, it must be him?"

Sun Dasheng and his entourage walked into the law firm together, and he was the first to speak, and his voice was very distinctive.

"Yes, it must be him, this thing always looks down on us, just now I felt a chill emerge, it must be him!"

Zhu Tianpeng immediately agreed, and when he mentioned the "Li slut", his face was full of disdain.

"Anyway, your classmate He has been studying with him all the time, right?"

Wang Momo asked, walked to the office at the door and sat down, and then skillfully turned on the computer and began to operate.

"Yes, that dog-legged man follows this lawyer Li every day, and says that you can learn things by following him, I think it's just being a dog for others!"

Sun Dasheng sneered again, his face full of disdain.

"But people at least have a case." Wang Momo doesn't understand this, but she just thinks that following Li Jianren is indeed better than staying in the law firm like Sun Dasheng and Zhu Tianpeng doing nothing, right?

However, she didn't think about it, but skillfully logged in to the chat tool, and then opened a dozen group chats and started chatting and gossiping.

"Little Momo~"

But suddenly, a voice rang out.

It was Zhang Yi, who came to Wang Momo's side and smiled.

"What's the matter with you?"

"I want to ask, Alice doesn't seem to be very happy, what's going on?"

Zhang Yi knew that if he asked Alice directly, the other party would definitely not tell him.

But he didn't need to do it, because there was a "bag inquirer" in the law firm, and the other party must know the reason.

Sure enough, hearing this, Wang Momo didn't watch the group chat, looked left and right cautiously, and came to Zhang Yi.

Girl, no one is staring at you around here, you can say whatever you want.

Zhang Yi complained in his heart, and immediately stepped forward.

"I'll tell you, but don't tell anyone."

Of course, of course, who can I tell, I guess other than me, even if everyone else doesn't know the situation, they will get the news from you.

"Actually, this matter is still Alice's case, she and one of her companions, a classmate Jia, have a bad relationship, of course, Alice didn't do anything wrong, it was that classmate Jia who was hostile to her, and ah, classmate Jia was even more ...... yesterday"

Momo is worthy of being a "law firm PHS" with first-class intelligence ability, but in just a few minutes, she told Zhang Yi the ins and outs of the story thoroughly.

"Oh, I see, Teacher Luo Xiaoxiang is also gone!"

After hearing this, Zhang Yi smiled at "Luo Xxiang".

In my mind, I unconsciously appeared a middle-aged man wearing glasses, tall but thin, with slightly thinning hair, and a cold smile unconsciously at the corner of his mouth, this is Luo Xiaoxiang, an ordinary law professor and law school criminal law teacher.

Mr. Luo Xiaoxiang, he is too familiar with him, after all, he also graduated from the Law School of Dongda University.

In other words, in fact, he is the senior of Alice and others, Alice and Sun Dasheng, Zhu Tianpeng and others are all Zhang Yi's younger brothers.

However, for these juniors and sisters, Zhang Yi's feeling is......

A bunch of kids growing up in a greenhouse!
