Chapter 10 Who's Not Someone's Defense Counsel

Ping Bokuan looked like a police dog as soon as he entered the door. Xu Zhi looked at his back vigilantly, and immediately changed into an 'endless' look before he looked at the bedroom for a while and turned around.

Ping Bokuan realized that his purpose was too obvious, so he didn't go around in circles, "Did Lawyer Qi mention Li Hua's matter to you?"

"Well, what?"

"We discovered from the mall surveillance that Li Hua, you, and another person appeared at the door of Li Hua's girlfriend's store. It seems that you all know each other."

Xu Zhi sat down and leaned back, "Qi Jingyi represented Li Hua's creditor's financial dispute case. I'm fine, so I'll take a look."

Ping Bokuan put his eyes on him indifferently, and then sat down, "I mean, you seem to know that person."

"Yes, go to Li Hua's house to deliver the lawyer's letter."

"So, do you know that he is Li Hua's creditor?"

There is still a difference between a collection and a creditor, Xu Zhi thought, the progress of the police investigation seems to have not moved forward, "Officer Ping, what do you suspect when you come to me, suspecting that I killed Li Hua?"

"His name is Zhou Jianming, a native of Puyun Society, Zhaojue County, Liangshan. His original name is Jise Jianming. Not long ago, he was detained for a week for violent collection. On the same day, your client Zhang Dingquan was invited to the bureau for questioning because of the case of killing the Liu family. Xu Zhi , why did you stop Lin Dang that day?"

When Xu Zhi looked at him, time froze for a moment. Soon, he realized and said truthfully, "I went to Puyun Club to teach ten years ago, and that child is my student, Police Officer Ping. After ten years, if you Seeing that your student has become a frequent visitor to the police station, what do you think?"

Ping Bokuan was not surprised by his reply. At that time the phone vibrated, he picked it up, and hung up the other end without saying a few words. I mean, we checked Zhou Jianming, he doesn't have many friends in Jiangbei, I think he might come to you when he encounters difficulties, if he has contacted you, please trouble Lawyer Xu..."

"Father killing relatives?" Xu Zhi laughed, "I'm very sorry about Li Hua's matter, but I still ask the police to inform me after they get solid evidence. Before that, the matter has nothing to do with me. I still have my life."

Ping Bokuan got up to leave, but sat back after lifting his buttocks, "Have you read everything I asked Lawyer Qi to give you?"

Xu Zhi nodded.

"In Liu Xintong's case, even if the police had doubts, they could not overturn the case. Zhang Dingquan was not guilty. The child was cremated by his family the next day after jumping off the ground. There was no need for an autopsy. This matter is my claim. Check, apart from us, the closest person to this matter is you, if you have any new clues, please let me know in time."

Xu Zhi listened to this, not because Ping Bokuan had established such a stalwart image, but since he took Zhang Dingquan's case, he had great doubts about the little girl's death, but at that time he His main job is to defend Zhang Dingquan, and he can't take care of the rest.

It was late, and after Ping Bokuan left for a few minutes, Xu Zhi locked the door, went back to the storage room, and opened the door. Zhou Jianming was sitting on the box and looking at him.

"Don't go out these few days. The police are just suspicious. I think Li Hua is not the only one with your fingerprints. They will check according to the rules." Xu Zhi walked in and walked in front of him, "But he is Quickly find out the connection between us, I may not be very safe here, I have to find you a new place to live."

The storage room has no windows and is supported by a lamp. The space is cramped. When Zhou Jianming looked at him, his eyes were particularly gloomy. Xu Zhi didn't like it very much. After finishing speaking, he reached out and pinched his face, "I don't care If you know what I'm doing, don't act like Lord Hades!"

With a snap, Xu Zhi's wrist was held by him. Xu Zhi was pulled and turned around, with his back facing him and fell on his lap.

Xu Zhi wouldn't hesitate so much if he killed someone, dumped his body, or committed a crime directly. Xu Zhi thought angrily, is it difficult to remember the three numbers 110? Wouldn't it be a big deal after calling the police?

As soon as he was distracted, Zhou Jianming's hand had already touched his head, and he didn't go in through the fabric. He just walked around and stroked him. Xu Zhi opened his mouth to speak, but he also covered his mouth. Covering it like this, his middle finger sank. Stir in his warm wet mouth.

Zhou Jianming actually didn't think too much about it. He felt that when he asked him at the door just now, whether he wanted to inform him or hide him, Xu Zhi didn't answer, but when someone knocked on the door outside, Xu Zhi subconsciously hid him in the storage room. In the room, the answer was obvious, and he was... happy, or excited.

When he first came to Jiangbei, he thought that it would take a long, long time to find this person, and it would take a long time to get close to him after finding this person. He even prepared the next few decades to spend on this person. He planned to, but he didn't expect it to be so fast, so fast that he happened to buy cigarettes at the canteen, and this face suddenly appeared on TV, and he was in the storage room of his house half a year later.

Xu Zhi didn't know what he was thinking, he just felt that he was also a dog, a male dog in heat, and when he heard him call him teacher hotly, he was just hugged, trampled, his whole body was hot and his skin was flushed...

Lin Dang drove the car to the gate of the community and waited. As soon as Ping Bokuan got in the car, he reported to him, "Ping team, the security guard said that this morning all the surveillance cameras in the community were overhauled, more than half of the cameras were removed, and new ones were just installed. "

"Tell two people to come here and watch."

"Hey, okay," Lin Dang replied, "Ping team, there are several fingerprints on Li Hua's body, why are you so interested in this Zhou Jianming?"

"It's not me who cares, but that lawyer Qi who cares."

"That's right, he looks like he loves Lawyer Xu."

Ping Bokuan didn't say a word, took a few photos on the center console, and put the last one on the top. The photo showed a very young face with a mole in the center of the left temple, and his lips were very bloody. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is Yinglang, but this face is not so kind in the photos of the suspect...

Xu Zhi went out early on Monday morning. He changed the door password before going out, and went back to the bedroom to look at Zhou Jianming who was fast asleep. Every time Zhou Jianming came to him, he slept well, like yesterday, but Zhou Jianming didn’t sleep well. When it was almost dawn, Xu Zhi still felt him pulling himself into his arms, in a daze, Xu Zhi remembered that he seemed to coax him a few words.

After getting out of the house, they got into Qi Jingyi's car, and the two went straight to Yikang Road Primary School. Qi Jingyi made an appointment with Liu Xintong's sixth grade head teacher. The students had just had their holidays, and there was only the teacher who was still doing finishing work in the school.

There were a few people sitting scattered in the office, Xu Zhi followed Qi Jingyi in, and the two of them sat down around a desk, and teacher Gao, the teacher in charge, brought two glasses of water——

"The two lawyers came here today. It seems that Tongtong's case is still not fully settled."

Teacher Gao looked at Xu Zhi with some embarrassment, "Lawyer Xu, the judge has acquitted Zhang Dingquan, why are you still holding on to a child?"

"It's just that there are some doubts, we want to make it clearer." Qi Jingyi explained.

"Doubtful?"

Xu Zhi then said, "Zhang Dingquan's case is over, I'm just a lawyer now, not anyone's defense lawyer."

Teacher Gao nodded understandingly. As a teacher, she can understand the professional nature of a lawyer, so she said, "You can ask whatever you want, I know everything."

"Then please tell us about Liu Xintong." Xu Zhi took out the recording pen, pressed the recording, and then said, "Her studies and life."

Teacher Gao thought for a while, "Tongtong is very quiet and introverted. She doesn't like making friends very much, and she doesn't take part in class activities. Her father said that she is not in good health, and she was not allowed to participate in the sports meeting, but her grades are very good. Well, in our primary school, we are in the top ten almost every year.”

"What's the reason for the body?"

"I don't know. It's her father who comes to greet us every time. He only says that he is not in good health, that he can't exercise, and that he won't let her do cleaning duties."

Xu Zhi remembered the second conversation in the recording, "Is the duty done after school?"

"Yes, students on duty after school clean the classroom and will leave school later," Teacher Gao said, taking out a duty form, "Like this, arrange the dates and names, and bring the children to the parents. When the day arrives, the parents If you come to pick it up, you won’t worry about why you haven’t finished school yet.”

"Then why does Liu Xintong often leave school very late?"

"Oh, during that time, we really didn't know what happened. Tongtong's homework error rate was very high. At first, she made one or two mistakes, and then she made mistakes in the whole homework. After school, she corrected the mistakes in the classroom, but Oddly enough, she continued to do well on her exams, with little fluctuation until—"

"Until what?"

"Until the last final exam before her accident, she handed in blank papers in all subjects." After finishing speaking, she sighed helplessly, "It's all my fault, if I care more about her, maybe she can help her parents more. think about..."

Xu Zhi didn't say anything to comfort her at the end, just thanked her, and came out of school, holding the recording pen in his hand, thinking about something.

"Wait for me, I'll drive over here." Qi Jingyi told him before leaving.

"Ah."

Xu Zhi was standing at the school gate, across the road was a row of stationery stores, Xu Zhi thought, the woman in the recorder should be one of the shopkeepers in the opposite store, but there is no need to ask any more, it is valuable He had all the information in his hands, and he didn't want to hear meaningless words like 'it's a pity', 'regret', 'it's all my fault'.

But at this moment, Xu Zhi's eyes gradually focused, and a figure across the street suddenly broke into his sight, and Xu Zhi rushed over like a catapult.

He grabbed the child again at the entrance of an alley, grabbed his arm and squatted in front of him, "Why are you here?"

The child stared at him blankly, raised his finger and pointed behind him, "My family lives here."

Xu Zhi panted, "What's your name?"

"Li Ziran."

"do you remember me?"

Li Ziran nodded desperately, when Qi Jingyi chased after him, Xu Zhi continued to ask, "Then you are also studying at Kang Xiao?"

"Yes."

"How old are you?"

"Third grade……"

After Xu Zhi asked, he exerted more force on his hands, as if he was afraid that he would run away, "Do you know Liu Xintong?"

After looking at him for a moment, Li Ziran nodded heavily.

"The homework book you gave me belongs to Liu Xintong, right?"

"Yes."

"Why did you give me that?"

Li Ziran's eyes turned red all of a sudden, with teardrops hanging in his eyes, and he even let out a breath of aggrieved breath, Xu Zhi gently wiped away his teardrops, "Tell Uncle, it's okay, Uncle will protect you."

"Woo, woo... Uncle, Sister Tongtong was not bullied by him..."

"Him? Zhang Dingquan?"

"Um... woo woo..."

"I know, then you, do you know who she was bullied by? Who is it, tell uncle. "

"Yes," Li Ziran just opened his mouth, only to hear the sound of slippers being tapped behind him and hurried over. As soon as Xu Zhi turned his head, Li Ziran was pulled behind by a woman. The woman looked at them, "pull What are you doing my child!"

"Mother Ziran, we are just talking to the children, don't get me wrong."

"Are you Lawyer Xu?" The woman stared at him domineeringly, "I know you, don't care what your purpose is, don't come to my son in the future!" After speaking, she hugged Ziran, "Go home for dinner , You are not allowed to talk to strangers in the future, you know?"

Xu Zhi's words sounded weird, and Qi Jingyi also looked puzzled. When they disappeared into the alley, Xu Zhi was startled, "Old Qi, send me back quickly!"
