First-Class Lawyer

In the afternoon of the next day, near the evening, Sergeant Kane came back to the villa area and brought good news to everyone.

"The good news is——" Kane glanced across the faces of the standing or sitting ladies, "Our lawyer Jason Charles has successfully escaped from the dangerous period and opened his eyes an hour ago. He stayed awake for 10 to [-] minutes, and he answered some questions for us by bending and shaking his fingers. The doctor said that thanks to his overweight body, the pressure during the ascent process was cushioned to a certain extent..."

Sergeant Kane couldn't help curling his lips when he said this, "Of course, his accident like this is also related to his body shape, so I hope everyone here will exercise hard and maintain a healthy body. If you are really overweight, don't be obsessed with it. There are sports like diving. Promise me, let yourself live a little safer, and let us save the police a few times, okay?"

Everyone in the living room laughed, and the gloomy atmosphere that had shrouded the island all day and night finally dissipated.

"I just said that a good old man like Jason will live a long life." Laura and the others were obviously relieved and much happier.

Yan Suizhi felt a little relieved, but not everyone felt relieved.

He glanced across everyone calmly, and found that at least two people looked different from the others, as if they were troubled by other things, or they were simply distracted.

One was George Manson, who had been depressed for a day and a night. When he opened the door of his room today, he accidentally knocked down a wine bottle, so that until now, the aftertaste of spirits still lingered on his trousers.

The other was Chen Zhang, the coach who was in charge of them at the time. He was of medium build, ordinary-looking, and always wore gray clothes in private.But at this moment, his sense of presence became a bit higher.Because when everyone else was rejoicing, for some reason, he seemed a little absent-minded, and his left foot was shaking habitually at a certain frequency. Many people would behave like this when they were distracted or uneasy.

His movements were small, and he stopped as soon as he realized it.Except maybe Yan Suizhi, not many people noticed.

However, everyone's performance is always complicated. Maybe looking at an innocent person today will look suspicious tomorrow.It's hard to say whether the psychology of the other party has changed or the psychology of the observer has changed.Yan Suizhi has worked as a lawyer for so many years and knows this well.

Rather than speculating that the other party is suspicious from subtle performance, he prefers to have no evidence and no facts.

After all, the presumption of innocence is the most unshakable principle for lawyers.

So he looked at it for a while, then looked back calmly, and listened to Sergeant Kane spit on the second thing: "The other half of the good news is based on some information given by Lawyer Jason Charles, combined with the The conversations between you, and the results of the on-site inspection... most of the gentlemen and ladies here have been cleared of suspicion."

"Then why is it half good news?"

"Because we hope that the conclusions we draw are rigorous and without loopholes, some friends who are more involved in the incident need to wait patiently for another day." Sergeant Kane explained, "We need a second inspection, if If we can confirm that today's result is correct, then this incident is really an accident, it's just that they took the wrong set when wearing diving suits."

Generally speaking, the result of a test can basically be qualitative.The second test was just an extra effort made by Kane as a straightforward and serious person. Most of the people present knew that there should be no deviation in the conclusion.In other words... this time it was basically an accident.

In this way, everyone's faces really relaxed.

……

As the sky was getting dark, Yan Suizhi and Gu Yan greeted Qiao. The two of them had cleared the suspicion and planned to take a step ahead.

"Okay, I know you have too many things in your hands to jump out." Qiao has long been used to Gu Yan coming and going in a hurry, and she understands very well, "I wanted you to relax your mind, but I didn't expect it to be such a disappointment this time. .”

"This is beyond your control." Gu Yan said, "I will make up a party for you next time."

"Oops!" Qiao laughed, and plucked his ears, "Say it again?"

"I said, next time I will make up a party for you."

Young Master Qiao shook his smart phone, shook his head and swayed, "I learned from you bunch of litigants, I recorded it, whoever doesn't love is a grandson!"

Gu Yan looked at him calmly.

Joe: "The same generation, the same generation, are all grandpas, are all grandpas."

Yan Suizhi: "..." Some young people are really amazing when they are scared.

"By the way, you asked me to help you last night—" Qiao said halfway through, when he noticed that Gu Yan's expression suddenly became a little weird, "What's wrong with your face? If you say green, it's green?"

Yan Suizhi turned his head and looked over.

Gu Yan had already pressed the center of his eyebrows and returned to normal, "Let's talk about what happened yesterday."

He didn't look like he was going to say any more, if possible, he looked like he wanted to selectively forget what he said yesterday and force Joe to forget it too.

But Young Master Qiao is a mallet. His ability to analyze emotions probably only reached full marks on Ke Jin, and he is completely zero at other times.He waved his hand and said, "No, I just want to say that I have arranged people to do those two things, isn't it very efficient?"

Gu Yan's face was paralyzed, and he nodded after a while, "Okay, thanks."

"There's nothing to be thankful for, it's just a trivial matter." Qiao laughed, "The others will stay here for a few more days, so I won't send you off specially, anyway, there's no need to be so polite to you."

When the two left the main villa, they took the garden path on the west side, passing by the window sill of the bedroom on the west side of the first floor of the main villa.

Yan Suizhi didn't take a few steps behind Gu Yan when he caught a glimpse of a figure out of the corner of his eye.Turning around, I saw the sliding glass window of a bedroom was wide open. George Manson was sitting by the window sill, with one leg bent and a glass loosely held in his hand. rock.

He looked a little drunk, his eyes half-closed and his face tired, as if he hadn't been getting a good rest.He looked at Yan Suizhi from a distance of five or six meters between a patch of low flowers and plants.

Seeing Yan Suizhi turning his head, he raised his glass politely, "Are you leaving?"

The tongue is a bit big, Yan Suizhi said, this young master must have been drinking for a whole day and night, right?

But out of courtesy, he still smiled and replied: "Yes."

Gu Yan, who was walking in front, heard the conversation, stopped and turned his head to look over. He listened to Yan Suizhi's profile for a moment, and then looked at George Manson.

It stands to reason that George Manson is more familiar with him than Yan Suizhi, who is an intern, but the young master doesn't seem to see him, but Yan Suizhi, who is blocked by the flowers.

"Drink together next time." George Manson invited Yan Suizhi.

Obviously really drunk, he casually sent invitations regardless of familiarity.

Yan Suizhi still maintained a faint smile, and nodded to deal with the drunk: "Okay, there is a chance."

As soon as he finished speaking, he noticed that Gu Yan took two steps in this direction.

"Not lightly drunk." Yan Suizhi shrugged at him and said in a low voice.

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the drunk young master say nonsense again, "Your skin is very fair."

Yan Suizhi: "..."

Gu Yan: "..."

Professor Yanda hadn't heard such a direct and reckless comment for many years. He looked at George Manson, but saw the young master staring at his hand.

Yan Suizhi moved his fingers, and replied a little dumbfounded: "Thank you... um? What are you doing back here?"

When he was dealing with the drunk, Gu Yan came back the same way for some reason.

Might want to see what else Master Manson can say.

But the young master couldn't continue his performance, because he stared at Yan Suizhi's hand for too long, his center of gravity was a little out of balance, he tilted forward and sideways, and almost fell out of the window sill.In a hurry, the wine in the glass was spilled, and there was no time to talk nonsense.

"Let's go, don't tease the drunk." Yan Suizhi urged.

The two of them left the villa again.

On the way back, Qiao sent several voice messages to Gu Yan, still talking about helping, but Gu Yan's face was still paralyzed.

Professor Yanda didn't have much interest at first, but he also showed rare curiosity, and asked with a smile: "What kind of help did you ask him to do? It's like a mournful journey along the way?"

This person amuses people with nonsense, and his words are always exaggerated. Gu Yan selectively ignores half of them, "It's nothing."

"Perfunctory." Yan Suizhi raised an eyebrow, "You are so secretive, it is easy for people to doubt your motives."

"'You can have a keen sense of smell, but you can't arbitrarily pin someone on the suspect seat', what you said before, I will return it to you." Gu Yan said.

I hope that a dean can be a little conscious of leading by example.

It's a pity that the dean didn't: "Oh? I also said this?"

Gu Yan: "..."

It was already night on Yaba Island when the two boarded the shuttle back to Decama.

The biggest selling point of the night scene on the island is the lantern pine forest, so in order to highlight the fireflies, the lights outside the house are very limited. Even in the villa area, there is not a single bright street lamp. Only at every turning point of the garden path, there are warm yellow lights. floor lamp.

The lighting range of the ground lamp is very limited, and only the outline of the path can be seen.

George Manson sat drunkenly in the night for a while, and staggered into the room with a bottle and glass, leaving only the night wind to flow in quietly along the open sliding window.

In the living room of the main villa, in order to celebrate the peaceful awakening of lawyer Jason Charles, and also to celebrate everyone's dismissal of suspicion, a group of young masters who are keen on playing around held a dance party.

"Where's Manson?" Someone asked amidst the clink of wine glasses.

Joe shook his head, "I went to call him just now, but I couldn't speak clearly. I just said that if I can't come, I want to take a bath, and I said that I should find a way to sleep for a while."

He said and pointed in the direction of the corridor, "I asked him to open the door, and call if it falls."

The others took a look and saw that the door of George Manson's room was half open, but it was very dark inside. Obviously, the outside lights were not turned on at all, and the young master was probably taking a bath inside.The security guard and the waiter stood outside the door one by one. If the drunk young master made any movements, they would be able to take care of him in time.

With Glenn present, a group of people had a lot of trouble. Later, even Zhao Zemu and coach Chen Zhang, who had not fully recovered and needed to rest, came to the living room and sat down in a corner of the sofa.Joe had them brought some glasses of fresh juice, but they didn't let them touch the wine.

Laura found a stand, put the dynamic camera on it, and said that she wanted to take pictures of these lunatics.

When the shuttle was leaving Lyra, Gu Yan received a short video from Laura, which showed a panorama of demons dancing, but the camera finally fell on Ke Jin, and he was sitting in the corner of a group of old classmates , looked at the friends who were drinking and drinking with pitch-black eyes quietly, took two sips of fruit juice, and seemed to be in good condition.

It's the same nonsense, but there is a subtle difference between the atmosphere of their area and the atmosphere of the group of young masters. This side is more peaceful, while the young masters are more crazy.

And Joe, who was supposed to be in a pile with the young masters, sat beside Ke Jin with his long legs bent, and said something to Elena and the others. Everyone suddenly laughed together, only Ke Jin remained quiet. Sitting quietly, but his eyes turned slowly, and his eyes fell on Joe.

"Ke Jin's condition seems to be better again." Laura's additional voice is like this.

Gu Yan was too lazy to watch the demons dancing, and quickly dragged the video to the end. After watching, he simply took off the smartphone from his little finger, "Hand."

"What?" Yan Suizhi was stunned for a moment, but subconsciously stretched out a palm towards him.

When the ring fell into his palm, it still carried the warmth of Gu Yan's fingers.

"What? You want to give me the smartphone?" Yan Suizhi joked.

"Video." Gu Yan added, he stretched out his hand to recall the video, and said calmly, "I think you might want to watch it."

However, what Lawyer Gu didn't consider was that his speech was so succinct that Yan Suizhi didn't know which part of the video he was focusing on.

Anyway, there was nothing to do on the shuttle, so Yan Suizhi simply finished watching the one-hour-and-five-minute video, and watched it carefully.It wasn't until Ke Jin came out at the end that he vaguely understood Gu Yan's intentions, and suddenly laughed a little.

"It's over, you—" he said halfway, and turned around to find that Gu Yan had fallen asleep.

And the message from Fitz just popped up on the screen of the smartphone:

-Have you read all the case information sent to you last night?The court has contacted you, but it can only be postponed until noon tomorrow at the latest, which means that you have to go there as soon as you get off the shuttle, and I will pick up your plane at the port tomorrow.

This is the court that Gu Yan originally planned to appear in the court the day before yesterday, because the matter on Yaba Island was delayed for two days, and he had to settle the case.

Looking at the content of this message, I knew that Gu Yan must have been buried in the case last night and didn't sleep much.At this moment, he finally managed to buffer himself on the shuttle, so of course Yan Suizhi would not wake him up.

He fiddled with the ring smartphone in his hand, trying to gently put it on Gu Yan's little finger without waking him up.

After three failed attempts, Yan Suizhi simply gave up and kept it in his own hands for the time being.

During the whole trip back, Gu Yan's smartphone vibrated several times, but when it returned to standby mode, the information content would not pop up again, and it was impossible for Yan Suizhi to check other people's information rashly, so he just let them go.

The ten-hour shuttle is actually very exhausting. When it lands, people are a little lazy and don't like to talk.

The two came out of the verification gate one after the other, and they saw Miss Fitz standing in the most conspicuous place at the pick-up station and waving at them.

"Gu, Ruan." Miss Fitz said like bouncing beans, "The interns in the institute are going to have a meeting, and Ruan will go back to my car in a while. Gu, I will arrange a car for you, and the foreign affairs assistant will be there with other things. I’ll wait for you in the car and go directly to court.”

"Okay." Gu Yan nodded.

Miss Fitz has always been in a hurry, and after meeting Gu Yan, she was about to drag Yan Suizhi to the parking lot, but as soon as she turned around, she saw Gu Yan grab Yan Suizhi's wrist, "Wait a minute."

Miss Fitz has only seen Barrister Gu coldly telling people to wait a while, but she has never seen such a direct approach.

"What's wrong?" Fitz asked.

Gu Yan rushed to Yan Suizhi and spread his hand, "My smartphone."

At that moment, Fitz's sleepiness from waking up early in the morning disappeared, and he regained his energy.

Immediately afterwards, she saw the young intern smiled lightly and said, "I almost forgot." As he spoke, he took off a smartphone from his little finger and put it in Gu Yan's hand.

Fitz: "Um..."

She felt that maybe the way she got up this morning was wrong, otherwise how could Gu Yan's smartphone be on the intern's finger?

Is there anything more personal than a smartphone? ?

"By the way, there are some new messages, please remember to read them." Yan Suizhi reminded.

Gu Yan let out a "hmm" and put the ring back on.

"Maybe I sent it to you before, just to let you know that I have arrived at the port." Fitz mentioned.

"Okay, I'll go first." Gu Yan raised his hand, turned around and strode towards the car arranged by Fitz, and quickly disappeared at the exit.

Yan Suizhi watched him walk away, and when he turned around, he found that Miss Fitz was blinking and looking at him, the gossip on her face was so full of gossip that she was about to explode.

However, Professor Yanda was not an honest and kind person. He smiled slightly, and said to Fitz in a gentle manner: "What's the matter? You don't look well, do you need to go to the bathroom? I'll wait for you here."

"..."

Fitz silently vomited a mouthful of blood.

Gu Yan's court trial lasted a bit long, spanning a lunch, and continued for more than three hours after the meal.

Those messages stayed on Gu Yan's smartphone for several hours, so that it wasn't until he returned to the law firm that night that Gu Yan learned from information and other sources that the night after they left, the Something still happened.
