First-Class Lawyer

Chen Zhang shook his head: "I don't know."

His expression was extremely sincere, but it was a pity that Yan Suizhi never took the other person's expression seriously when he was asking, so he just glanced at him and said calmly: "Continue."

Most people always want to grasp a sliver of trust when they have nothing to rely on, so that they can settle down.But he couldn't catch anything on Yan Suizhi, he couldn't figure out what the other person was thinking, so he couldn't help but panic, "I really don't know."

"Well, I heard you, you can continue." Yan Suizhi smiled.

"Really." Chen Zhang emphasized again, looking a little helpless, but he had to continue, "The time when those people appeared made me think that their so-called help should be at Mr. Qiao's party, And since I am a diving instructor, I guessed that nine out of ten it was related to diving. So after I arrived at Yaba Island, I was always uneasy, and I was afraid that something might go wrong during the diving.”

"The other coaches usually brought two guests by themselves that day. When they were allocated to me, there happened to be one more guest, so I brought three." If you are a little bit different from others, just hold your heart..."

After all, his nature is not bad. Although he promised to help under the coercion and temptation, he subconsciously still wants to prevent things from happening.So he planned to tell the butler in charge that he couldn't bring three people, and the other coach had better skills and better security. He wanted the butler to rearrange it. It would be best for him to bring only two like most people. Or even just take one.

Sometimes people are so contradictory. He obviously needs money urgently, and he let go of his promise to help the other party because of money. When it really comes to this kind of time, he would rather take one less and take less money in exchange for safety.

"But the housekeeper told me that he was not in charge of such an arrangement. Instead, he showed the list of coaches to the guests. The guests discussed their choices by themselves. He couldn't go against his will." Chen Zhangdao.

"Did you verify this matter later?" Yan Suizhi asked.

"Yes. In fact, after the diving accident, Sergeant Kane also asked me this kind of question when he asked me to make a statement." Chen Zhang said with a little embarrassment, "But at that time, I didn't give him too specific. When I arrived at Yaba Island, I became suspicious, everyone seemed to be one of the group who asked me to help, of course I didn’t believe what the housekeeper said, but when I saw the guests, I asked, and it was indeed they who picked them.”

"The lawyer Jason Charles who caused the accident by wearing the wrong clothes said that he had patronized the Hardmond Club several times. He didn't like the coach assigned to him very much. Long-winded. Later, when the coach was away, I temporarily replaced him for a while, and he had a good impression of me. Maybe it’s because I don’t like chatting very much. I’m ashamed that I don’t have an impression of Lawyer Jason Charles...”

However, this did not prevent Jason Charles from choosing him without hesitation when he saw him on the list.

And Zhao Zemu chose him, and Chen Zhang knew the reason. After all, Zhao Zemu was a frequent visitor to the Hardmont Club, and Chen Zhang had always been his diving partner before.

George Manson may be the only one who didn't give any reason. He just dismissed Chen Zhang with a perfunctory and willful sentence: "There is no reason. I just picked someone who is pleasing to the eye from the list."

This young master's character is well known, and it's hard for him to change his mind no matter whether it makes sense or not.

And at that time, Chen Zhang was a little selfish...

"This is the second wrong thing I did." Chen Zhangdao, "I didn't know that I would meet Mr. Manson at Mr. Joe's party. I changed my name and appearance, and he doesn't recognize me. Maybe not. He didn't recognize him either. After all, I was just a substitute coach at the Champagne Club and I wasn't familiar with him. But I recognized him. Although it has been more than ten years, I have to admit that I still have a deep understanding of what happened back then. I have a lot of bitterness and resentment. So when Mr. Manson said he was too lazy to change the coach, I accepted it without a word of persuasion."

Chen Zhang's grudge was not about doing anything to Manson, but trying to prove it in front of Manson. If it wasn't for the interception by the bodyguards back then, if he was allowed to follow him into the water as a coach, he would never let Manson have any accidents. .

"I was acting impulsively at the time. If I insisted on transferring a client to another coach with more experience, at least Lawyer Jason Charles and Mr. Zhao would be spared one crime." Chen Zhangdao.

Yan Suizhi listened calmly the whole time, and occasionally recorded some simple words with the special pen and paper provided by the detention center.Even Gu Yan next to him couldn't understand what kind of scripture he was writing, let alone Chen Zhang.

But when Chen Zhang said this, Yan Suizhi stopped the pen in his hand, and raised his eyes to look at Chen Zhang.

I don't know why, but the lawyer in front of him is clearly a freshly graduated intern, perhaps less than half his age, but Chen Zhang is as if he has returned to school when he glances at him.He is like a student who failed another test, waiting for the teacher to give the grade with trepidation, and when he is glanced at, his heart can rise to his throat.

But this time, Yan Suizhi spoke to him in a reasonable way: "If what you just said is true, you have held grudges against Manson's accident for so many years, and when you meet again, you don't think of causing trouble for him. , but to protect his safety more carefully, whether it is out of self-proving or other psychology, it is commendable and admirable."

Chen Zhang was stunned for a moment, and his uneasy heart suddenly took root.

This is the first time he smiled a little after the incident, with a little guilt and a sense of shame, fleeting, "I actually didn't... um, thank you."

Yan Suizhi's expression seemed to encourage a student casually, and Chen Zhang's expression also looked like a student who was praised.

Gu Yan: "..."

With such an inadvertent affirmation, Chen Zhang immediately felt at ease, and without Yan Suizhi's reminder, he poured out all the things he could think of like a reservoir with its gates opened.

After listening to a few sentences, Yan Suizhi wrote two words on the paper.

Taking a glance from the corner of the eye after writing, I found that Gu Yan's expression was a little... Well, I don't know how to describe it.

Professor Yanda inspected himself——

Is there anything out of the ordinary about the performance just now?

No.

Anything other than honestly taking notes "like an intern"?

No.

It also moderately appease the emotions of the parties involved.

very perfect.

"What's wrong with you?" Professor Yanda decided to take care of Gu's physical and mental health.In case he looks like he's going to mock or not, the venom is surging under the still water, and scare the courage back of the person who just raised it.

Gu Yan said lightly: "It's nothing, you can continue with the class."

Yan Suizhi: "???"

Chen Zhang: "..."

Professor Yanda felt that student Gu's physical and mental problems might be chronic diseases that would not be cured for a while, so he had to silently turn his gaze back and said to Chen Zhang, "Go ahead."

"Oh..." Chen Zhang nodded, and then continued when he was interrupted, "I always felt that I was wronged by Mr. Manson's accident more than ten years ago. But this time, lawyer Jason Charles appeared underwater accident, it is really my responsibility. This is the third mistake I made..."

After he met George Manson, he wanted to prove something too much, so he focused all his attention on Manson's safety. He spent more time staring at Manson than Zhao Zemu and Jason Charles. time.

While his intentions aren't bad, even good, his attitude along the way is a bit of a sham.When he dived for the first time, he was always in an uneasy mood. Whether it was going into the water or going up later, he was a little nervous.

But the first dive was successful and safe, but that didn't make him relax.

So even if Manson and the others went ashore halfway, Chen Zhang would never leave.I followed them to the locker room, and followed them out to rest drinking ice wine on the shore.It seemed that Manson really didn't remember him, and even talked to him more than Zhao Zemu and Jason Charles, praised his diving skills, and even said that he would go to Hardmont to find him for diving in the future.

On the one hand, Chen Zhang still couldn't let go of the accident and the subsequent poor life, on the other hand, he felt that Manson was different from the domineering and unreasonable young master in his impression, although he still could see his willfulness and dissoluteness.

The difference between the new impression and the inherent impression kept Chen Zhang a little absent-minded, which led to the fact that he did not notice any problems when he checked the diving suits for Jason Charles and Zhao Zemu during the second dive.

Of course, only he knew whether the diving suit fit or not. At that time, Jason Charles only muttered something on the shore and didn't mention it again, and Zhao Zemu didn't notice anything wrong.This is also one of the reasons why Chen Zhang didn't realize the problem when he checked.

"I'm ashamed, my attention is still on Mr. Manson's side when I got underwater." Chen Zhangdao, "When I saw the sea snake, my heart skipped a beat. Because sea snakes are not common in that sea area. I thought this must be that The purpose is to help people."

At that time, Chen Zhang subconsciously thought that this was the purpose of those people looking for him.The sea snake ran towards Manson at first, and Chen Zhang was very glad that he was always keeping an eye on Manson's safety, so he was able to solve his troubles as quickly as possible.

Zhao Zemu also contributed a lot to this.

"His reaction was even faster than mine. When the sea snake came over, he just froze for a moment and then swam over. But he didn't know how to deal with it so that he would suffer as little damage as possible, so I went to help. Although the process was a bit difficult , but fortunately they all went ashore.”

Yan Suizhi and the others knew what happened after that, because Chen Zhang and Zhao Zemu were entangled by sea snakes, and Jason Charles had an accident.

"I was very confused when I went ashore." Chen Zhangdao, "I thought that if the sea snake was solved, I would be fine. But I didn't expect that Lawyer Jason Charles had an accident again, which made me wonder if I made a mistake. Maybe Lawyer Jason Charles is the other party's target."

But in any case, he and Zhao Zemu were out of danger, and Jason Charles' physical index returned to normal.This made Chen Zhang really relieved, because he thought that what should have happened had already happened, no one was killed, the incident was classified as an accident, and everyone was happy.

One day and one night after the diving accident, he had been waiting for news and for those two to contact him.

He felt that no matter what the outcome was, there must be an end.But the message from the other party was delayed, and he became more and more restless.

"At that time, I didn't even think that the matter was not finished. What I was worried about was that I might ruin their plan, and the family members at the welfare hospital might be implicated." Chen Zhangdao, "so I dialed several times to the welfare hospital one after another. Respond to the newsletter and trouble those nurses to take good care of them. They are very kind to my family, but their attitude towards me has always been bad..."

He said with a wry smile, "I know why, and I can understand it."

"I waited for a long time and there was no movement until that afternoon." Chen Zhang said, "On the afternoon when most of the suspects were cleared, you left Yaba Island first, and the police also withdrew their man-marking officers from the villa area. We were arrested Informed that I may need to go to the police station to make a statement in the next few days, other than that, everything seems to have passed, the weather is calm, the guests in the villa are starting to discuss the celebration reception, I can hear the following from the upstairs room It was that afternoon, when it was close to dusk, I went downstairs to the kitchen, and when I went up, I found a communication device and a black bag in the room."

"Communication machine?" Yan Suizhi asked, "The old-fashioned one?"

"Yes, the old-fashioned communicators that can be found on the black market can't find the user, and the information doesn't even go through the current communication network." Chen Zhangdao, "There is a message in the communicator telling me to stay in the bedroom at night and not go out. Lou was not good either. I was nervous and worried at the time, but I didn’t dare not to do it.”

"The black bag?"

"The black bag contained... the sleeping pills that were later found scattered around Mr. Manson's hands." Chen Zhang said, "There was only one at that time, which was the normal dosage for an adult."

Yan Suizhi stared at him, "Did you take the medicine out of the bag to look at it?"

Chen Zhang nodded, "Yes, because the bag is black, I... I opened it subconsciously and took a look at the medicine bottle inside. I didn't know what to do with it, so I put it back. Touch more."

"So that's how the fingerprints left on the potion bottle came from?"

"should be……"

"and after?"

Chen Zhang thought for a while and said, "I spent most of the night sitting by the door holding the communicator, listening to the voices downstairs."

He was a little relieved when he heard all kinds of laughter and laughter downstairs, and it seemed that nothing troublesome happened.

"During the period, Miss Laura and Mr. Qiao came up and knocked on the door of me and Mr. Zhao Zemu respectively. Because I was bitten by a sea snake before, I had an excellent excuse, so I told them that I was too tired to go downstairs, and they didn't doubt it. In addition, Mr. Zhao has the same situation as me, so I don't appear to be too abrupt."

"It wasn't until midnight that I received a second message," Chen Zhang said.

The message told him to put the black bag on the garbage disposal downstairs and told him to go down through the window.

The windows on the second floor are not high from the ground, and there is a small platform. It is not difficult for Chen Zhang to go down quietly without disturbing others.

"The villa uniform slippers you were wearing at that time?" Yan Suizhi asked.

"Yes, I was too nervous when I went down and didn't think too much about it, but I paid special attention to only step on the window sill and not on the mud in the garden." Chen Zhang said.

However, it is precisely this that makes it easier for people to make false evidence.

"Step on the window sill, and you just stepped on the window sill of Manson's bedroom." Yan Suizhi praised, "You are really talented."

Chen Zhang has a sad face, as if mourning his concubine.

After that, when Chen Zhang put the black bag away, he received another message asking him to leave the communicator behind.

"He said that after 10 minutes, I will be free." Chen Zhangdao, "No matter what happens in the future, just keep silent. Let me think about the family members in the orphanage, and don't talk nonsense when you shouldn't talk. Those 10 minutes are about I had the toughest and longest 10 minutes because I didn't know what was going to happen."

At that time, Chen Zhang was really counting the seconds, staring at the time, and it turned out that just 8 minutes later, Glenn and the others went upstairs after drinking too much, and insisted on dragging Chen Zhang and Zhao Zemu down noisily.

Although it hadn't been 10 minutes, Chen Zhang was anxious to get rid of that anxiety and make sure that nothing happened, so he opened the door and walked out before the gang of drunk young masters knocked on the door.

Glenn was an unreasonable person, he went upstairs to yell at people to drink, and even got the spare key of the villa, and opened Zhao Zemu's bedroom door directly after thumping twice indiscriminately.

"Mr. Zhao is also really unlucky." Glenn said, "The dark lights in the room are obviously asleep, and Glenn and the others made a fuss. At that time, it was obvious that he was not particularly happy, and the gang of drunk young masters dragged him while Apologize to him jokingly. I was in a cold sweat at the time, and although I didn’t do anything, I was already terrified, my face must have been ugly, and fortunately they all surrounded Mr. Zhao next door, so no one noticed that something was wrong with me.”

After Chen Zhang and the others were mobbed downstairs by the drunks, they didn't find anyone missing in the hall where the demons danced wildly.

He drank a few glasses of wine with everyone nervously and took a video.

"It took about an hour or so." Chen Zhangdao, "Glenn and the others remembered that Mr. Manson hadn't been made a fuss, and that's when...you all know what happened after that."

Chen Zhang intermittently finished talking about everything that happened to him that night, and the meeting time was drawing to a close.

Yan Suizhi wrote down some things and looked calm.

From his face alone, it is difficult to tell whether he is sure or not, whether the existing materials are enough for him to defend in court, whether he will lose or win...

Chen Zhang tried his best to get some information from him, but in vain, he could only say in the end: "I...saying all of this now has violated the deal with those two people...my parents are in the welfare hospital, do not know either……"

This time, Yan Suizhi comforted him generously: "Don't worry, the police are guarding recently. I have dealt with the police in the third district, and they are very responsible. As for the case, if you need it, I can help you." You contact the wine city."

When hearing this, Gu Yan glanced at him.

Yan Suizhi asked Chen Zhang a few more detailed questions, then packed up his things and prepared to leave.

Chen Zhang is a bit of a horny character, if a matter fails to have a result, he will always be thinking about it and can't let it go.So before Yan Suizhi left, he added as if thinking of something, "The recording where the two men came to me to discuss the deal—"

"What?" Yan Suizhi turned to look at him, thinking that there would be some good turning point.

Chen Zhang said solemnly: "I may not have recorded everything, but the other party also recorded. I watched their recordings, and they did it twice."

"..."

Professor Yanda looked at him kindly with the eyes of a mentally handicapped student. After deliberating for a moment, he chose a less damaging sentence, and said with a smile, "Are you suggesting that we find the real culprit for recording? You are really smart."

Chen Zhang: "..."

Yan Suizhi opened his mouth, maybe he wanted to say something more tactfully, but before he could say anything, Gu Yan pressed his shoulders and turned around, and made a "please" gesture to the door of the meeting room.

Yan Suizhi: "..."

He was a little dissatisfied, and turned his head to say something, but Gu Yan behind him lowered his head slightly, and said in a deep voice next to his ear: "I suggest you suppress your nature and say a few more words, intern I can't wrap my skin around it."

His voice is very pleasant, and it makes people feel a little uncomfortable when it sounds close to him.

Yan Suizhi turned his head to the side, but the movement was very small and undetectable.Even so, he didn't forget to take Gu Yan's words back: "Who has taken it seriously?"

Gu Yan said coldly: "...Are you still proud?"

Yan Suizhi: "Tsk——"

But in the end, Mr. Gu still took advantage of his height and physique to invite someone out of the interview room to save Chen Zhang from the fire and water, so as not to be like those law school students who were squeezed out and looked stupid good.

After coming out of the detention center, Yan Suizhi and Gu Yan went to Chen Zhang's house again.

Although that voice recorder may not have recorded any important information, they still have to get it.

The police officers guarding the house and the notary they contacted along the way entered the house with them, and then, as Chen Zhang said, removed one of the ceilings and touched the recording pen from the partition.

The audio files in it were immediately backed up, and they took one copy, the police took one, and the other was notarized by a notary public to go through the evidence submission process.

As Yan Suizhi and the others predicted, the recorder did not last long, and even lasted for half a day because of the lack of initial power.

Part of the content of the first conversation that Chen Zhang said was recorded, but it was not very clear because of the blocking of the partition.However, even if it is clear, it doesn’t help much, because the other party’s way of speaking is very particular, and you can’t hear any threatening meaning from the recording alone, even with a smile, using euphemistic and polite words. At first glance, it seems to be talking about the most ordinary transaction.

If this conversation is interpreted as a young man from a rich family wanting Chen Zhang to take on a private diving job, and intending to give him a very generous reward, it's not out of the question.

But even though there was nothing important, Yan Suizhi listened carefully three times that night until his smartphone received a new message.

The information came from the official account of the court in the third district, which reminded him again of the date of the court session, which was the day after tomorrow.
