unscrupulous lawyer

Lu Fei's voice sounded pitiful, and Wei Xi's heart moved accordingly.He has worked with Lu Shijie for ten years. When he first joined Huaxin, Lu Shijie was already a legend in the industry. Although he would hear some bad rumors about Lu Shijie from time to time, Wei Xi had no idea. After all, he could climb to where he is today. Yes, there must be a hand.

Wei Xi deliberately teased and said, "What's wrong with the young master?"

In the dark, Lu Fei twitched his lips. Is it necessary to tell Wei Xi about these things?Not necessary at all.How long have they known each other?To put it bluntly, it is a relationship between a subordinate and a boss who is an unlucky child. Maybe they will part ways when they go back tomorrow.

But it may be that the atmosphere tonight is so good, or it may be because he was touched by the incident of Fang Yu's campus bullying. Was it the previous case where the rich man killed the nanny? It was my dad who handled it, and was given the nickname China Sapiro."

Sapiro was the star lawyer who defended Simpson in the famous Simpson murder case. At that time, the lawyer team he built for Simpson was dubbed the "Dream Lawyer Team".At that time, the key evidence obtained by the prosecution - blood test and DNA test was accused of violating the sampling procedures, and the evidence was ruled invalid.And when the jury was all black, the witness provided by the prosecution was an out-and-out racist.In this way, despite the double defeat of the pig-like teammates and the god-like opponent, Simpson's wife murder case was acquitted despite the many doubts.

"The world saw Simpson's crimes, but the law did not," said the presiding judge in Simpson's wife-killing case at the time.

Similar to Simpson's wife-killing case, Lu Shijie's case was full of troubles back then, but the difference was that the other side's lawyer was much more clumsy and played the sympathy card, accusing the rich man of murdering and getting away with it with his own financial resources and connections. Just got the support of many people who hate the rich and are irrational. Everyone preconceived and assumed the guilt of the rich, thinking that Lu Shijie, who took this case, is China's Sapiro, and he is willing to do anything for money.

Lu Fei sighed inaudibly, and said: "I was twelve or thirteen years old at that time. I just entered junior high school, and my schoolmates bullied me, spat on me, threw stones at me, and nailed me to the ground. flow. But the teacher asked me, my father asked me, I didn’t speak, I didn’t know where I got my strength from.”

Wei Xi could imagine Lu Fei's appearance at that time, his cheeks were swollen, his mouth was pouting, and he refused to say anything when asked by adults.Because he felt that his father was ashamed in his heart.

Lu Fei: "They say my father is a black hearted lawyer, I am the son of a black hearted lawyer, and I am also black hearted."

"That's why you don't want to be a lawyer, is it?" Wei Xi said, "Because everyone says you are the son of a black lawyer, and you are also a black lawyer."

Lu Fei didn't speak, but Wei Xi knew that Lu Fei nodded.

Wei Xi sighed, turned over, and looked at Lu Fei.

Lu Fei lay flat on the floor, a ray of moonlight coming in from the gap in the curtains shone on his straight nose.

According to the photo book, people with a high nose bridge are not good, they are lonely and arrogant, just like Lu Fei.

Wei Xi: "I went to pick you up at that time, do you remember?"

Lu Fei blinked. At that time, Lu Fei thought his father was ashamed and didn't want his father to pick him up, so his father had to send different subordinates to pick him up every day.

When the subordinates picked up Lu Fei, Lu Shijie just watched from a distance by himself, just took a look and didn't go over.I really feel sorry for the parents of the world. At that time, Lu Shijie was in the rising stage of his career. He was so busy every day, his mouth was full of anger, and he still wondered whether he, the only child, had enough to eat.

At that time, Wei Xi had just joined Huaxin and was still doing odd jobs next to the printer. When he received this task, he was really happy, thinking that it was the boss's respect for him, so he squatted at the school gate to pick up this young master complacently.

Wei Xi smiled and said: "After I received you, you asked me what I did, and I said I was a lawyer from your father's firm, and then you pouted and spit on me without saying a word." Drooling, I was in a bad mood, oh my god, that's my new bird of paradise."

Originally, Lu Fei was feeling sad when he said it, but when Wei Xi interrupted him, Lu Fei giggled, "Why, I couldn't afford your Burberry back then."

After Lu Fei finished laughing, Wei Xi continued, "Although I'm not someone like you, I still want to tell you that your father is not a villain in this matter."

Lu Fei frowned, and turned over on the floor, looking at Wei Xi with bright black eyes, "Really?"

Wei Xi nodded, "The nanny really wasn't killed by the rich man. All the evidence points to the innocence of the rich man. It was the nanny whose family saw the rich man's money and wanted to extort money. At that time, the nanny's lawyer directly used the media to promote him , Said that their nannies are poor people, low-level people, how pitiful, rich people are bad people because they have money, and they kill people, but things are not like that at all.”

Wei Xi paused, looked at Lu Fei's shining eyes in the dark, and said seriously: "No matter when, you must not trust others easily, use your eyes to see, use your heart to see look."

***

After waking up the next day, Wei Xi brought Lu Fei to Wu Xiaoxiao's house.

Wu Xiaoxiao's home is in an old residential area on the outskirts of the city, a low and old ordinary residential building.From the outside, it seems that the building does not receive sunlight all the year round, and a row of peach trees as tall as the building in front cover the balcony airtightly.There is a window between the corridors up and down the stairs, and the sunlight that breaks through the barriers makes the dust in the corridors clearly illuminated.

Wu Xiaoxiao's mother poured Wei Xi and Lu Fei two cups of hot tea, and there were tea residues floating on the boiling water.

"Things have already happened, there is nothing to worry about." The woman said quietly: "He was always sick when he was a child, he was smaller than others, but he was honest, and he was always bullied at school... Then I told him that if others If you bully you, you should sue the teacher, don't do anything with these bad kids, what will happen? The teacher doesn't care at all, even if he wants to, he just bullies him even more."

The woman glanced at Lu Fei, and seemed to see the shadow of her son in Lu Fei, who was the same age and youthful. "If he'd been alive, I'm sure, I'm sure I wouldn't say that again."

Wei Xi took a sip of tea silently, and said softly, "Although it's a bit sudden, can I ask you some questions?"

Woman: "You ask, is it for that person? Is he dead?" The woman asked with some uncertainty, as if she couldn't believe that karma in this world could come so quickly.

"Yes," Wei Xi nodded, "did he say anything to you when he was in the hospital?"

The woman lowered her eyes and said: "Before he fell into a coma, he told me that someone pushed him, and he didn't jump off by himself, and then he said...he said he would not let me go, this child..."

Wei Xi's heart twisted, but he still asked: "Did he say that there were those people on the roof at that time?"

The woman shook her head and said: "No, but there is a surveillance video on the roof. I immediately asked to call it out to check after the incident. At that time, there were two people on the roof. They pushed him down, and they were still laughing. As if I didn't kill someone..."

Devil, such a person is a devil, but with a boy's body as his body, wearing a false mask.

Wei Xi: "You won't be able to watch this surveillance video later, will you?"

Woman: "Yes, later they told me that the surveillance video is only for the last few days and will be overwritten soon, so the video is gone."

In 2000, video surveillance was not yet popular, and the school only installed a camera on the roof to guard against theft of school equipment. No one thought that such a thing would be recorded.It is not known exactly how the video was overwritten.

Wei Xi: "It ended with an out-of-court settlement, didn't it?"

Woman: "Yes, the lawyer came to me and told me that the prosecution would take a long time, and the evidence was not sufficient. The video on the rooftop was damaged, and no classmates were willing to testify. The teachers and the school were also silent. The lawyer said that if this case goes to court, it will definitely not win, and if it is settled out of court, there will still be money. The child was still in the hospital and needed money... Then I agreed. "

The woman smiled bitterly: "They gave me some money, and then I could use the money to save his life, but he died...Probably, probably, he knew that he would not live long, and wanted to leave the last bit of money to me... "

The woman smiled wryly, her no longer young face was covered with fine wrinkles, especially her eyes, which were deeply sunken, containing two cloudy eyeballs.She whispered, "I didn't want that man to die, but this is his retribution."

Wei Xi got up to say goodbye, and looked up to see the young man's portrait hanging in the middle of the room, with a bright smile on the black and white photo.

Lu Fei nudged Wei Xi lightly with his elbow. Wei Xi lowered his eyes and saw that Lu Fei was gesturing for him to look at the photo frame on the table.

On the TV cabinet, Wei Xi saw a wooden photo frame, inside which was a group photo of two teenagers.

The person in the photo is slightly different from the present one, but Wei Xi recognized it at a glance, with the same shrewd eyes and short stature, this person is exactly the boyish appearance of the noodle shop owner.

Wei Xi said, "Excuse me, who is this person?"

The woman glanced at the photo and said, "He, he is Wu Xiaoxiao's best friend."

This is the last piece of the puzzle, the third person, finally found.
