The lightness of the world of mortals

In the police station early in the morning, Chen Xilin looked at Dean across the street and grinned, "Don't you shave before getting off the plane?"

Dean rolled his eyes, revealing the big whites of his eyes, "I don't like to use the toilet on the plane." He looked at Chen Xilin again, "You clean up cleanly."

Chen Xilin leaned over and whispered, "I bribed the police here."

Dean burst out with a thunderous laugh, "Be honest here, don't make troubles. Listen, Henry is very worried about you. Before I left, he gave me a special advice and said that he must ensure your safety no matter what."

Chen Xilin raised his eyebrows to express his understanding.

"Come on, what's going on with the FBI?" Dean asked.

"Oh, before I forget," Chen Xilin tore off a piece of paper from the table and wrote Ming Yu's cell phone number on it, "This is my fiancée Ming's cell phone number, please report to her today that she is safe, if If I can't go out today, please send her a message every day."

Dean glanced at the paper, "+31, is she still in Holland? No problem." She folded the paper and put it in her jacket pocket.

"Thank you," Chen Xilin sighed, "I'm not sure if the fbi matter has anything to do with what I'm getting into now. Two agents came from Canada to look for me last night because of the disappearance of a Canadian girl. When I asked them why they came all the way to find me and what it had to do with me, the police from Damai just arrived, so I didn’t hear the rest of the story.”

Dean looked puzzled, "So you know that Canadian girl?"

"We only met once, in March last year, in a restaurant in City C."

"tell me the story."

"It's a small matter. I remember seeing her harassing Ming. I took Ming away. It took less than 5 minutes. It passed easily."

"They know each other?"

"To be honest, I don't know much about it. I didn't ask. I don't even know her name."

Dean thought for a long time, "According to what you said, you only met each other for less than 5 minutes. That girl must have met countless people in her lifetime. It is impossible for the FBI to investigate everyone, let alone find Da Mai from thousands of miles away. Come on, that's right," Dean's eyes flashed, "How do they know you're in Damai? It looks like they came here as soon as you landed."

"I'm also very puzzled. However, the FBI always finds people the first time they want to find someone. I just don't understand what makes me an important role in the disappearance case."

"I'm afraid you have to ask your fiancee Ming, maybe she can give you some useful information."

"Why? Why is it related to her?"

"This is just what I feel after listening to your description. You and the missing girl had an accidental relationship, but she should have a non-accidental relationship with Ming. However, Lynn, maybe this is just a coincidence, the visit of the fbi and the case of Damai, Maybe it's not related."

Chen Xilin shrugged, "Maybe."

"Okay, let's talk about Damai. Your current situation has to be divided into two steps. The first step is about the accusation of assaulting the police. I will release you and your bodyguard on bail first. Thank God, although I came later , but it is still far away from 48 hours; the second step is to assist the police in investigating the murder at the construction site. This is a different matter, and two judicial procedures are required. However, once you are released on bail, I will seek the protection of the US embassy and let you participate in the hearing as soon as possible Then send you back to the United States, here in Damai, and I will act as a lawyer with full power to represent you."

Chen Xilin sighed, "After a long detour, I still want to go back to the United States, why not just fly back to the United States yesterday, and there will be no incident of assaulting the police."

"That's not the case. Your coming to Damai is a good proof from the perspective of subjective willingness. It proves that you are willing to assist in solving the case. It also proves to a certain extent that you have not evaded."

"Well, when can I go out?"

"Within ten hours, I will as soon as possible," Dean thought again, "I'll buy you a plane ticket back to San Fran tonight."

The accountant of the q fund was also busy buying air tickets.

She couldn't find Chen Xilin, Wang Qi, or even Chen Xilin's African-American bodyguard.The administrative assistant told her that she had heard gossip from the police station that an American was taken in last night.

When she was young, she learned the major of finance, not because of love, but because she wanted to find a stable job in the future and live a stable life. She followed Chen Xilin to Damai, and felt that the salary was good. She worked for five or eight years while she was young. , In a place like Damai, the cost is not much, so I saved money and went back to Hong Kong to supplement my family.She didn't want to get involved in any complicated disputes, even criminal cases.

Who knows what Wang Qi is doing?The paint on his face was not a good sign.She finally made a decision, sealed the letter of authorization in her closest pocket, wrote down the passwords of the foundation's various financial software and accounts on a small piece of paper, bought a ticket to return to Hong Kong at night, and sent a text message to Chen Xilin : ms.chin, I'm sorry, I have an urgent matter at home and I have to go back to deal with it. I can't contact you and Wang Sheng in the past two days. I wrote down the relevant passwords of the foundation and put them in the bank safe. Sorry!I wish you all the best!

Dean bought a plane ticket for Chen Xilin, and then called Mingyu.

"How is she?" Ming Yue hurriedly asked after exchanging pleasantries.

"I should be able to bail her out by tonight and send her back to San Fran."

"Go back to San Fran?" Ming Yu didn't realize it for a while, "What will happen when I go back? Is she all right?"

"I can't see what's going on right now, but Miss Ming, I want to ask you something."

"You say."

"Last March, in a certain restaurant in City C, did Lynn bump into a lady who harassed you and took you away?"

Ming Yu held the phone, "...What?..."

Dean didn't make another sound, he felt that his problem was very clear.

Mingyu's mind was confused for a while, and then he slowly remembered that it was Alex.

"It seems that there is such a thing, why?"

"I don't mean to offend you, but as Lynn's lawyer, I have some questions for you."

"No, I won't mind."

"Do you know that lady?"

"know."

"Have you guys met since we bumped into each other at the restaurant?"

"No."

"Are you sure? Have you contacted her? Or have her social account? Know her recent situation?"

"Not at all, I haven't contacted her again, and I haven't asked her about her situation since then."

There was a long silence over there, "Okay, got it, thank you."

"Why do you ask this? What do you mean?"

"Sorry, it's not convenient for me to disclose, if Lynn is willing to tell you, let her say it herself."

"This..." Mingyu felt anxious and didn't know where to start, "That's fine, but it's convenient for you to reveal, is this related to the case Lynn is currently involved in?"

"To be honest, I don't know, but from the current point of view, it doesn't matter."

Chen Xilin counted the hours in the cell, and at the ninth hour, Dean finally came to take her.

"This is not your style. You said that at ten hours I was ready to be released at noon." Chen Xilin moved his wrists that had just been handcuffed, complaining a little.

"Two to five hours would have been enough, but you are a foreigner, so the procedures are more complicated." Dean looked at his watch, "Let's go to the hotel to pick up our luggage, and board the plane in three hours."

"Thank you, Dean."

Chen Xilin took her mobile phone and turned it on. She was a little worried. She had encrypted some important information on the mobile phone, but she was still very afraid of being tampered with by the police.

As soon as she turned on the phone, there were countless missed calls, emails, and text messages... She looked at them one by one, and the soles of her feet slowed down. She saw the text message from the accountant of the foundation.

"What's wrong?" Dean asked.

"Can the ticket be changed to tomorrow?" Chen Xilin stood at the gate of the police station.

"What happened?"

"I have to check the accounts of the foundation myself," Chen Xilin held up his phone, "The accountant has escaped."

Before the words were finished, a car with the national emblem of Dongsuo came down the steps of the police station and slammed on the brakes. The tires made a sharp sound on the ground. Chen Xilin and his group looked around vigilantly.

A few people in uniform with guns got out of the car, walked up to Chen Xilin with a solemn expression, and showed their IDs, "Excuse me, is this Ms. Lynnsichin?"

Chen Xilin subconsciously looked at Dean, then looked back, "Yes."

"We are from Dongsuo National Security Bureau. We need to know something about some things. Please come with us."

Dean walked over in three steps and two steps, "I am her lawyer, please contact me if you have anything to do."

The person who came took a look at Dean, "We are not a police station, and we don't deal with lawyers. Please don't hinder our actions."

"Then please allow me to remind all the officers that she is an American citizen. I am afraid that it will lead to international incidents if you take her forcibly like this."

"I'm afraid it has become an international incident." The Security Bureau personnel glared at Dean, then turned to look at Chen Xilin, "Please cooperate with the investigation."

As soon as the words fell, several people stepped forward together. Although there was no physical contact, the formation could no longer be resisted.Chen Xilin looked at Dean.

"I'll contact the embassy right now, and we'll follow you," Dean said.

Dean's car followed closely behind the car of the Security Bureau. He went to call the head of the Overseas Chinese Affairs Section of the US Embassy in Dongsuo. The white whale is an influential company in the United States, and the Q Fund is an American in Dongsuo. The very influential foundation founded by Suo, the US embassy in Dongsuo and the management of Chen Xilin's team are very familiar with each other. Every Christmas, as long as the management or directors of the q fund are in Damai, they will hold a private banquet in the embassy , entertained them, Christmas the year before last, when Ming Yue and Chen Xilin talked on the phone for the first time, Chen Xilin had just returned to "Buckingham Palace" from a private dinner at the embassy.

The phone rang several times before answering, "Hey! Old friend! This is Dean! Is everything okay?"

"Oh, Dean, that's great, how about you?"

"I'm in some trouble. Have you heard about the Q Fund?"

"Hmm... well, I heard something."

Dean paused for a moment, and the other party's tone was a little indifferent, wondering if it was his own illusion.

"That's right. Lynn was just taken away by the Dongsuo National Security Bureau. They refused to negotiate with me. Do you know what happened? I want to ask the embassy to intervene."

There was a pause there, "Is that so? Let me ask Mr. Consul General first to see what he means."

"...Then thank you, I will trouble you later."

Dean hung up the phone, thought for a while, and called the consul general's secretary directly. Since the Overseas Chinese Affairs Group also wanted to find the consul general, it was better to call him directly.

After a few conversations on the phone, the other party also spoke in an official tone, saying that he would ask the consul general for instructions.

After hanging up the phone, Dean frowned, "What's going on? What happened?"
