First-Class Lawyer

Gu Yan didn't expect him to ask this suddenly, so he stopped and glanced at the pot of evergreen bamboo that had lost his innocent life, "Change the subject, or do you want to settle old scores?"

Yan Suizhi gave a "tsk", thinking that classmate Gu last night was so likable, restrained in every possible way but also a little annoying, afraid of contagion, urged him to go upstairs to sleep early, but leaned against the door with his arms folded and his eyes heavy send him off.

Even when he went downstairs and sneezed for the first time this morning, showing signs of a cold, Gu Yan's reaction was particularly interesting—he looked through the medicine box for half a minute with a steady face, and then covered his forehead in silence. Start self-reflection.

Yan Suizhi couldn't help laughing watching from the side.

Although he was used to being a wolf with a big tail, he actually felt a little uncomfortable when he opened his eyes in the morning.However, Barrister Gu's series of reactions saved him, so that his uneasiness only existed for less than half an hour, and when he thought about it, it disappeared.

After that until he came to the law firm, he was passionate about one very interesting thing - teasing Gu Yan.

In fact, he was already very proficient in this matter ten years ago, but he didn't expect it to get worse after ten years.

The only difference is that Student Gu will no longer run away in anger.

He wanted to smile and said to Gu Yan: "Why do you change your face when you see the sun, and you actually doubt my motives. I'm just a little curious about your thoughts."

Yan Suizhi paused for a moment, then smiled calmly: "Actually, I'm curious about many things about you."

It was probably the first time for him to have such an idea.

In fact, he has never been easy to get close to. He always walks outside the safe distance of everyone, does not give others the opportunity to enter his life, and never gets too involved in other people's lives.

"You don't need to explain what kind of ideas you have, because people's ideas are always different. As long as you think it's worthwhile and you won't regret it when you remember it, you can try it..." This is what he used to say.

Gu Yan was also one of the audience.

But now it is different, he seems to have entered a territory specially reserved for him, after getting used to it for a while, he finally began to take the initiative to get close to people.

This is probably a different kind of special treatment, and of course Gu Yan would not refuse it.

"I did have ideas with different ideas..." He repeated in a low voice, pondering for a moment: "For me at that time, it was actually not a particularly pleasant experience, so... I don't know where to start .”

"I remember one year at a reception, when I was watching the night view on the balcony, you came to ask me a question about...keeping the original intention?" Yan Suizhi tried to recall for a while, then chuckled again, "I can't remember clearly .was that time?"

"You actually remember?" Gu Yan was a little surprised.

Yan Suizhi: "I remember more things than you think."

Gu Yan looked at him for a moment, then nodded and said, "That's right, but that's actually just the fuse..."

"Is this still a chain reaction?" Yan Suizhi raised his eyebrows.

Gu Yan: "..."

In fact, it is not a chain reaction. It is not so much that Gu Yan suddenly found out that he did not agree with Yan Suizhi's ideas, but that he suddenly realized that the original intention he had always had was not enough to fully reflect it. in reality.

He hasn't explained much yet, but Yan Suizhi has keenly grasped the source.

In other words, although Dean Yan is not close to people, he actually understands the struggles and changes that students may experience during those years.

He asked Gu Yan a seemingly endless question: "If I remember correctly, your origin is Helan Star? Your parents are...soldiers?"

The University of Metz respects the tradition of Decama, and has never paid too much attention to the origin and background of students. This is not a topic that teachers, students or classmates often talk about.However, Yan Suizhi at that time still knew some simple information from Gu Yan's few words.

But that's all.

Others may have limited knowledge of Helan Star, but Yan Suizhi is different.He clearly knew that less than 30 years ago, Helan star had a conflict with interstellar pirates.It was the biggest conflict in hundreds of years, and the number of soldiers involved was too many to count.Of course, there are more interstellar pirates folded in.

After that conflict, Helan star received a promise from the pirate leader not to invade for 300 years, and there were hundreds of thousands of orphans, all of whom were descendants of soldiers.

So he has always regarded this as a sensitive topic by default. In terms of the teacher-student relationship between universities, it is not suitable to ask more questions.

Gu Yan nodded when he heard the words, and the answer confirmed his guess: "Well, they are all soldiers, but they have passed away."

Yan Suizhi looked at him, and suddenly understood the reason why he was struggling with ideas—the character of Helan star soldiers is absolute loyalty, absolute justice, and absolute self-sacrifice.

If his parents were both soldiers, and they happened to be soldiers who died fighting for the people of the mother planet, then the beliefs they upheld would often be dissolved in the blood of the offspring in a deeply ingrained way.

He had seen many descendants of soldiers in the orphanage on Helan Star, almost without exception.

Gu Yan saw Yan Suizhi's expression.

It's very strange, it seems that after experiencing everything last night, now he can clearly know what the other party is thinking without the other party opening his mouth, and even the steps of guessing are avoided.Maybe it was Yan Suizhi's response last night that gave him enough confidence.

He added: "But I'm not an orphan. After my parents passed away, I lived with my grandfather, who was a judge."

A very serious and straight judge.

Therefore, Gu Yan has instilled very clear and even stubborn ideas in his bones - loyalty, justice, and self-sacrifice from soldiers, and fairness and rigor from judges.

Even when he entered college and planned to be a lawyer early on, this philosophy never changed.

It is not that he is ignorant of this industry, on the contrary, because of his grandfather, he knew about lawyers earlier than many people.

But people are always like this, especially young people, who are full of high-spirited and innocuous arrogance. When making scenario assumptions, they always subconsciously construct an idealized situation and result, and firmly believe that what they will do To do, to achieve the purpose of how and what.

When he was a student, Gu Yan was more stable and self-reliant than many people, but the arrogance that young people would have was not less, or even more, and the things he insisted on were more serious than many people.

This is the beginning of the contradiction.

"When I was in high school, I heard one of your lectures." Gu Yan said, "You said at that time that lawyers deal with all kinds of lies every day, and some of them often lie even themselves. Many people know that their clients are Guilty, but at the end of the defense, they will always forget this, as if their client is more innocent than anyone else. Over time, they will no longer think about the question of who is trustworthy and who is just, because it makes them It's hard to be happy about winning—"

He spoke unhurriedly, remembering as he spoke.

What surprised Yan Suizhi was that he remembered it so clearly, and the content of his words was almost the same.In his memory, the student sitting in the front row who was as cold as a mint leaf didn't take any notes during the whole process.

"—You said to the student who asked the question, I hope she can remember this question and think about it occasionally, because this represents the pure original intention of the student days, and I hope everyone can keep it longer." Gu Yan finished speaking After a few seconds of silence, he said again, "I was actually very pleasantly surprised at that time."

Yan Suizhi raised his eyebrows, held back for a while but still couldn't hold it back, and said, "I happen to remember that lecture, and... I just happen to remember you. Excuse me, I thought you were just passing the time to spend credits. I can't see that you are surprised."

Gu Yan: "..."

However, due to Professor Yanda's half-joking interruption, Gu Yan's brows, which were unconsciously frowned because of memories, relaxed, and his expression was a little helpless.

Yan Suizhi raised his chin: "Continue, your expressionless face is actually very pleasantly surprised, then?"

For a moment, Gu Yan seemed to want to be mean or do something to block someone's mouth, but he finally continued, "I thought I met someone with the same ideals, and before that I I happened to have some knowledge of you, so I was very happy. But later, when I thought about this passage again, I found that you actually just avoided the contradiction."

Because Yan Suizhi was talking about advice to those young students, but in fact he still didn't really answer the girl's question, let alone talk about his own thoughts.

Yan Suizhi thought for a while, and said: "That question is actually very difficult. Some people avoid answering it from the beginning to avoid asking for trouble, and some people have been entangled in it for decades without any answer. But in At your age, what I say can easily become some kind of guidance. The answers I give are likely to become your thinking constraints for decades to come."

"Ah."

Gu Yan nodded.

Of course he knew about this consideration, even if Yan Suizhi didn't tell him.

But at that time, he didn't think about it, he only subconsciously felt that Yan Suizhi's words touched him.

Until he came across the old case.

The suspect was the vice president of a once famous hospital, and he was involved in a medical homicide.Speaking of which, the situation at that time was a bit similar to this bobblehead case. The attitude of the suspect was disgusting, and public opinion was almost one-sided.

However, Yan Suizhi's original defense also proved that the prosecution's evidence did have loopholes.

If everyone's empirical intuition, including the existing evidence points, and even the suspect's reaction can show that he is really guilty, the most pleasing way is to let him be punished, but some gaps can still be found.

What should I do?

When he first came into contact with the old case, it was not a simple disagreement of ideas that caused Gu Yan to change his attitude and fall into silence.It was the contradictions and conflicts within his own inherent ideas that made him a little overwhelmed.

The character left to him by his military parents is the simplest and purest sense of morality and justice. If he followed this, he hoped that the suspect would have no room for change and be thrown into prison.

However, the court justice taught by the judge's grandfather made him very concerned about the integrity of the chain of evidence.

And the presumption of innocence must never be discarded.

……

"During that time, I was not so much analyzing old cases as I was... I was making hypotheses and arguments. If I received that case, would I make the same choice as you, and that choice could convince myself, It fits all my inherent ideas." Gu Yan said.

In fact, he spent a lot of energy during that time, and the analysis he finally made was almost able to convince himself. Even in the process of analyzing that case, he himself had undergone unprecedented changes.

As a result, Yan Suizhi happened to meet Yan Suizhi's birthday reception at the closing stage.

He asked Yan Suizhi that question, but he just wanted to confirm it again.But Yan Suizhi said that he would not think about the original intention at all.

"I just happened to be stuck in a bottleneck at that time, or... a bit of a dead end?" Gu Yan said, "After listening to your answer, I felt that I was so stupid for spending time analyzing and tossing."

Look, you have been trying to explain and argue for so long, but the other party has never thought about it.

But at that time, he just realized that he had some ridiculous ideas about Yan Suizhi, and he attached great importance to every word he said.

Thinking of Gu Yan's previous answer, Yan Suizhi nodded clearly, and his expression changed slightly: "So once you graduated, you held some unserious thoughts, and you were completely pissed off by me, and there was no more news? "

Gu Yan: "..."

"But..." Yan Suizhi smiled again, "I'm very happy."

"Why are you happy?" Gu Yan looked at him.

"Because you are definitely not the kind of person who distorts ideas to blindly cater to reality for the sake of peace of mind." Yan Suizhi said, "My student, I still know this."

In fact, in the next ten years, Gu Yan, who has been polished more and more calm and mature, is actually grateful for the old case at the beginning. If it weren't for the argument and analysis that was almost self-torture, he would probably have spent more money. It will take a long time to give myself an answer.

Yan Suizhi looked at Gu Yan with a bright smile in his eyes.

This is a student he once admired very much. After so many years of hard work in reality, he is still strong in heart, upright and pure.

It's perfectly normal to be likable.

But Professor Yanda is a slobber. After hearing this, he couldn't help teasing Gu Yan, "What about now?"

Gu Yan: "Huh?"

"Do you think my ideas are compatible with me now?" Yan Suizhi asked calmly, "Answer well."

"..."

What is a good answer?

"What if it doesn't fit well?" Gu Yan's eyes moved, and he asked back.

Professor Yanda smiled and said: "That's not good, I might have to water the flowers and plants in your garden to death first, and then go to see if anyone else wants to develop a close relationship with me. After all, disagreement is a big deal. .”

"..."

Ten years ago, when some people were so half-true and irritating, Gu Yan would slam the door and run away.

But it's different now, this is his office, he doesn't have to run.He couldn't bear to drive some people out.

The only way is to seal it.

So 5 minutes later, when Ms. Fitz knocked on the door with the newly arrived entrusted reward, Professor Yanda, who was in debt, was pushed inside the door, kissing him so hard that there was no room for him to respond.

He touched Gu Yan's beautiful jaw with his thumb, separated it slightly, squinted his eyes and said in a low voice: "Tell me, if you are seen later, how can you explain it? Hmm? The office is asking you to do it." When it comes to business, you just do things that don't respect your teacher."
