daytime firefly

Zhang Dingquan called and said he wanted to have dinner with Xu Zhi, but Xu Zhi refused because he had a dog to take care of at home.

Zhang Dingquan was very weird, he didn't continue to invite, and said that he had ordered some treats for him, and someone would deliver them to his door. After hanging up the phone, Xu Zhi thought, since this guy stepped down from the Yuehai Group, he wouldn't be troubled again. What a waste of God.

But it's just thinking about it. It's the same mentality as when I told Wang Shuqin last night to think about it. If the matter doesn't burn Xu Zhi's eyebrows, he decided to first uphold the attitude of not mixing, not interfering, and not caring. The dog stayed in harmony for two days before.

Harmony...not quite.

Liu Xintong's workbook was taken by Ping Bokuan for evidence preservation, but Xu Zhi only brought back the photo, which he put in a book standing on the shelf, the title of which only had two words "Criminal Law" .

During the two days when there was a lot of discussion on the Internet, Xu Zhi sometimes stood in front of the bookshelf and looked at the "Criminal Law" in a daze. He thought of going out to pay homage to Liu Xintong, but he didn't find out her graveyard, so he finally gave up. .

Until the two days at the end of the month, on the way home from the law firm, Xu Zhi asked Qi Jingyi to stop by the side of the road. He got out of the car and ran to a stall selling paper-cutting, and asked the stall owner to cut a girl with short hair. Go home and prepare to put it in the book together with the photos.

Seeing it, Zhou Jianming snatched it away again, and looked at Xu Zhi with high downcast eyes, "What kind of relationship do you have with her?" Seeing that he didn't speak, he added, "What kind of relationship do you have?"

It wasn't a question, it was sarcasm, or contempt. Xu Zhi was so stuffed in his heart that he didn't try to grab it. He just said, "Your grandfather, I have already converted to Buddhism."

Zhou Jianming didn't intend to take it down, so he took two steps forward against him, "That's it, teacher."

After speaking, he rubbed the paper-cut into the palm of his hand in front of Xu Zhi. In fact, Xu Zhi was not angry at this damage, but more sober. It was like plunging into a cold spring, which made him suddenly realize that Zhou Jianming was nostalgic for him. It should be the teacher Xu ten years ago, not Xu Zhi now.

Xu Zhi stayed close to him without saying a word, then stood on his heels, pulled out the fragile paper-cut from his fist, and returned to the sofa with the small ball of paper.

It was also at this moment that the doorbell started to make noise again. Zhou Jianming subconsciously wanted to go to open the door, but Xu Zhi stopped him, "Go back to your room."

When Zhou Jianming returned to the bedroom, Xu Zhi went to open the door. He thought it was Zhang Dingquan who had sent him to give gifts, but now he saw Ping Bokuan's calm and pretentious face. ?”

Ping Bokuan said, "I want to talk to you about Zhang Dingquan."

Xu Zhi recalled the phone call in the morning, and wondered if this Dingquan had really got into something dirty, "What kind of appalling slander?"

Ping Bokuan walked in as if he didn't hear it, Xu Zhi rang the alarm, first blocked Zhou Jianming's water glass on the bar, and then stuffed Zhou Jianming's coat under the pillow, just as Ping Bokuan was about to approach the bedroom , Xu Zhi quickly asked behind him, "What would Officer Ping drink?"

Ping Bokuan paused, turned around, "No," then sat down, and said to him, "Do you still remember the Liu Xintong's hymen identification report that you showed in court?"

Xu Zhi didn't have to think about it, "Of course."

"Old lacerations, the time range is more than one year. In 2014, Tongtong was only 11 years old. We went to Liu Zhendong's hometown to investigate. Liu Zhendong's old mother was Grandma Tongtong. She said that in 14 years, Liu Zhendong's family of three was still alive. Did not return to Jiangbei."

"You mean, when Liu Xintong was sexually assaulted for the first time, Liu Zhendong and Liu Mingyang might not have been by her side?"

Ping Bokuan was noncommittal, "According to her grandma, Tongtong was adopted back to Liu's family in 12 years. Liu Zhendong was originally working in other places. He brought him back in order to keep the old man with him. Within two days, the couple took him with him. The son went back to other places until the beginning of last year."

Xu Zhi hugged his legs, curled up on the sofa like this, and repeated the meaning of Ping Bokuan's words word by word, "Hold her back, and let the child stay behind, so it is impossible to know how many people bullied her?"

"It's not that there is no breakthrough," Ping Bokuan said, "Is there a page missing in the homework book Li Ziran gave you?"

Xu Zhi nodded hastily, and heard him say, "I have been thinking for the past two days, why did Li Ziran give it to you, and why was it you? It's already surfaced, hasn't it?"

"Tch," Xu Zhi said, and quickly restrained his expression, and told him, "His mother is very fierce. She probably knows Liu Xintong in an elementary school, and she doesn't want her son to have anything to do with these things."

"Have you seen his mother too?"

"Well, I went to Kang Elementary School that day, and we met after I came out," he added, "Like a hedgehog."

Only then did Ping Bokuan answer his own words, "So, we also checked Li Ziran's family." When Xu Zhi was surprised, Ping Bokuan continued to explain, "We found out that Ziran's mother was in 627 by accident. , that is, on the day of the Liu family murder case, someone remitted a sum of [-] yuan to her bank account,"

"What does this have to do with the Liu family?"

"It really has nothing to do with the Liu family," Ping Bokuan looked at him and said, "But we also found out the source of the money by accident."

Xu Zhi waited for Ping Bokuan, and the two looked at each other. After half a minute, Ping Bokuan said, "The money came from the private account of Yu Haili, the personnel department of Yuehai Group."

Xu Zhi remembered what Zhang Dingquan had said to him at the gate of the Public Security Bureau that day. For some reason, he immediately found it funny, even absurd.

Yu Haili, if I remember correctly, on the day Zhang Dingquan was arrested by the police as a suspect, this woman appeared red-eyed on the media camera, and asked Xu Zhijin when he was investigating at Xu Zhijin's company, "Is Mr. Zhang okay?"... …

"Xu Zhi?"

Xu Zhi looked over after his cry, "Uh, tell me."

"Now the Yuehai Group is sealed, we can no longer get any effective information, I think, only you can help," Ping Bokuan's voice sank, "I helped that child."

Xu Zhi didn't agree or refuse. He kept the same posture and didn't move. At that time, he thought that today was here, and no matter what, today should have passed, but no, there seemed to be a ignited flame among them. He watched Ping Bokuan take out the intercom, and after a short while, many people poured in, armed with guns, and after checking the room, they stopped in front of the bedroom door.

Ping Bokuan stood up, "One matter is another matter. We still have to take Zhou Jianming back. We will return him to you after the suspicion is cleared."

Xu Zhimeng stood up, and as soon as his feet hit the ground, he was stopped by two policemen and pulled back. While struggling, the bedroom door rang, and Zhou Jianming walked out of it calmly...

"Zhou Jianming, wait..."

Xu Zhi chased him out, but Qi Jingyi didn't know when he came, grabbed him at the elevator entrance, half-dragged and half-carried him back, Xu Zhi grabbed him, and said urgently, "Qi Jingyi, let go!"

"He's a suspect, can you be sober!"

"Why am I sober? He can't speak, and he said a word wrong. Do you know that he started in three years!"

Qi Jingyi put him to the ground, but still imprisoned him by the wall of the corridor, "So he really,"

"He didn't." He said, he didn't.

"That's right," Qi Jingyi didn't intend to entangle him with this, but said, "Whether there is anything is none of your business, it's none of your business, Xu Zhi."

"Why is it none of my business? On the eighth, on the night Li Hua disappeared, Zhou Jianming waited on me on my bed. Do you think it's none of my business?"

Qi Jingyi let go of his hand in an instant, "What did you say?"

"I said, Zhou Jianming, it's none of my business now."

"Do you know what you're doing? Zhou Jianming is a gangster from a remote village. What do you have to do with him?"

"Then who should I have a relationship with? You, lawyer Qi, do you dare?"

Speaking hurriedly, Xu Zhi felt that he had gone too far, at least before Zhou Jianming appeared, he had never had such an outburst of emotions towards Qi Jingyi.

Qi Jingyi was at a loss for words, the elevator rang at just the right time, and the door slowly opened, a man in work clothes pushed a huge box out with a cart, and when he arrived at the two of them, he probably misunderstood that they were waiting for him, and said directly, "Xu Zhi Mr. Xu, this is your intra-city delivery, please sign for it."

Xu Zhi opened Qi Jingyi, walked over to sign, opened the door again to signal the person to send the things in, and then came back and said to Qi Jingyi again, "Just treat me as his free personal lawyer, Qi Jingyi, don't treat him badly." With so much hostility, he's not a bad guy."
