daytime firefly

The moment Xu Zhi opened the door, the noise outside the door seemed to fall into a black hole. Everyone looked at each other across the door frame. The two seconds of silence were stretched into an exaggerated arc, and finally broke through the leader. In a roar——

"Xu, do you still have the face to live?"

Xu Zhi couldn't answer. During this period of time, he always encountered such life-or-death issues, so the group began to curse at him. They were like a marching infantry team, approaching the enemy step by step in a neat and powerful manner. , while Xu Zhi remained motionless, his eyes passed through the gap when the crowd was moving, and landed on a little girl who was five or six meters away from the crowd, holding a red and blue cylinder in her arms.

The little girl was in her teens, with her hair cut to jaw-length, a hoodie, and gray jeans, and she just stood there quietly, as if, like him, she was waiting for the drama to end.

Qi Jingyi and the police came together, and Xu Zhi was already shoved so that he couldn't stand still. After they "invited" him out of Xu Zhi's house, Qi Jingyi scanned Xu Zhi's body.

"Did they do anything? Is there any pain?"

"No." Xu Zhi said simply.

"How can you open the door?" Qi Jingyi couldn't help reprimanding, "You know they're here to find fault, why open the door? Ask for beating? Xu Zhi, do you know what you're doing?"

The little girl's eyes were still lingering in his mind, Xu Zhi sat back on the sofa, trying to divert his attention by turning on the computer and going online.

After Qi Jingyi reprimanded him for nothing, his heart softened, and he sat next to him, holding the back of his neck with his big hand, and before he could speak, the policeman came in again.

"We have a general understanding of the situation. Due to the particularity of your two positions and the relationship, it is better to reconcile privately or privately."

Xu Zhi didn't even bother to look at him, so he let out a soft oh.

"Officer Li, I'm sorry to trouble you," Qi Jingyi stood up, "Reconciliation is fine, please warn those people not to come to make trouble again," he added quite seriously, "If there is another time, we will not be victims. It’s about speaking to them as a litigator.”

Officer Li nodded apologetically, then took two steps back and left.

When the door closed and the house returned to its usual tranquility, when Qi Jingyi turned his head again, Xu Zhi had already lay down, the computer was on the coffee table, and he was holding a pillow in his hand, "Go, I'm sleepy."

"Xu Zhi..."

Accepting the case, handling the case, winning the lawsuit, getting paid out of the court, and retiring after being successful. Until now, lawyers all over the world are going through the same process. The only difference here is the lawsuit. Losing is still winning, how come he has become a rat crossing the street, and everyone is screaming for beating...

Xu Zhi had been thinking over and over again for four months, and in the few seconds that the little girl appeared in his sight just now, he suddenly opened up a very clear direction, yes, the transfer of hatred.

The citizens transferred all their hatred for Zhang Dingquan's sexual assault on girls to Xu Zhi who won the lawsuit for Zhang Dingquan. As for the question that Xu Zhi hadn't figured out a few minutes ago, all the evidence and witnesses showed that Zhang Dingquan did not sexually assault that girl Girl, the judge finally ruled that Zhang Dingquan was not guilty and released in court. Why is it that he, Xu Zhi, was nailed to the pillar of shame by public opinion?

Xu Zhi was a little impatient, but tried his best to restrain himself, "Qi Jingyi, the only way you can comfort me is to sleep with me, or leave."

When he said such words, it was like asking casually what he had for lunch, but in Qi Jingyi's ears, it was like the dull bell ringing in the temple, and the lingering lingering sound made him speechless for a while.

After a long time, Qi Jingyi poured him a glass of water and placed it within his reach, "You rest first, I'll come see you later."

The door opened and closed again, making a clicking sound. Xu Zhi saw several people whispering in the auditorium——

"May I ask the prosecution witness, when Liu Xintong was carried out of the lounge in my client's office by Liu Zhendong, where was my client and what was he doing?"

"Here, in the office, undressing, yes, undressing, we went in when his shirt was half undone, I'm afraid it will be a little later, and Xin Tong will be tortured again!"

"Witness for the prosecution, please listen to my question clearly. I am asking, where was my client standing when you broke in? Was it in the office or in the lounge?"

"Yes, office, but he is facing the door of the lounge, he must go in!"

"Witnesses for the prosecution, please pay attention to your wording. You only need to state the facts, and don't speculate subjectively." The presiding judge reminded at this time.

"Yes, yes." The man in his early twenties lowered his head after speaking.

"You said just now that you will be tortured again. According to your appellant's statement, Liu Xintong went to the Yuehai Group for the first time that day. How do you judge this word again?"

"The presiding judge," the prosecutor's lawyer said at this time, "asks for the production of evidence."

The presiding judge nodded, and the opposing lawyer, with the help of the clerk, released a report on the display screen, identifying the rupture of the hymen. As soon as the report came out, there was an uproar in the court, and the opposing lawyer continued, "Liu Xintong is only 12 years old. , she hardly participated in strenuous exercise during school, and my client immediately went to the hospital for a physical examination after rescuing her daughter from the defendant's office, and this report was part of the examination at that time."

"Really?" Xu Zhi turned calmly, turned and walked back to his seat, "Judge, we request evidence."

After the judge seat raised his hand to signal, a report was changed on the display screen, the same subject, the same type of report, two almost identical reports, except that Xu Zhi showed one more line——

The mucosal folds of the vaginal valve showed old lacerations.

"Liu Xintong's mother, Zhang Yan, joined Yuehai on July 2015, 7, and Liu Xintong's father, Liu Zhendong, broke into my client's office on August 1. It was the first time Liu Xintong came to Yuehai Group to wait for her mother to get off work. Excuse me, How could the identification report made that day show that there are old lacerations in the mucosal folds?"

"You're messing around!" Liu Zhendong, the plaintiff, jumped up at this moment, but was interrupted by Xu Zhi when he was about to continue speaking.

"Mr. Liu, the evidence you presented in court can be sent together with our evidence for appraisal. Whether it has been changed or whether it has been forged, the court can directly notify you and us of the appraisal result. The presiding judge, my statement will arrive soon." here."

"You! What are you!" If Liu Zhendong hadn't been held back by someone, he might have rushed straight at Xu Zhi's face. Everyone present was silent when they saw that cannibalistic look, but Xu Zhi was just being polite. He bowed his head to him, and after announcing the adjournment, he walked out of the court with a blank expression.

The wooden door was pushed open with a creaking sound, followed by a thick and long hum of a train rolling over the tracks, sweeping overhead, the old lady staggered, her back arched, and she paused when she came over After a while, he said to the human standing over there, "Are you back?"

"Hmm." The man stood at the door, shirtless, with a half-burnt cigarette in his hand, seeing the red plastic bag in the old lady's hand, "What did you buy?"

"The vegetable market is discounted. I bought two catties of pork belly. Are you still going out at night?"

The man took a last puff and flicked the cigarette butt aside, "Not coming out," the sneakers clattered over the gravel, walked up to the old lady, and took the top-heavy wooden stick in her other hand, " Is it sold out today?"

"It's sold out," the old lady said cheerfully. "The subway entrance is indeed more popular. You are right. There are so many people at the railway station that they are in a hurry. Who wants to eat that?"

The man didn't reply, he passed by his low brick house, and when he arrived at the low brick house on the other side, the old lady opened the door with the key, "Go back and have a rest, I'll call you when the meal is ready."

The man didn't refuse, and only walked back when she entered the house.

This is the east side of Jiangbei, and the train tracks are built on the roof of this row of brick houses. From here, passengers are considered to have left the river.

The man had just returned to the house when the phone vibrated on the wooden table. The man looked at it for a long time before he picked up the phone and answered it. The voice on the other end was not urgent, but straight to the point——

"Who are you and why are you helping me?"

"Why do you think I'm helping you?" Click, the lighter burned the tobacco leaves, a puff of white smoke rose in the dark room, the man's lips opened and closed, "What if I want to kidnap you."

The other end was silent, "You are watching me, right?"

The man didn't make a sound, and the other end continued, "Let's meet."

"You're not very obedient, what's the point of meeting you?"

"Be obedient? Why should I listen to your inexplicable instructions," the voice at the end weakened, and the other end said with some hesitation, "Tomorrow afternoon, I will wait for you at home."

The corner of the man's mouth raised, and after a short silence, he hung up the phone.

"Hold!"

Xu Zhimeng threw the microphone back onto the landline, collected himself, grabbed the receiver and made a call.

"Doctor Bai, are you free? I'll come and sit for a while."

Half an hour later, a tea restaurant in Jiangbei City.

Bai Shengnan took out a small box the size of a fingernail from his bag, "I'll give you one tablet a week, that's my only concession."

Xu Zhi took the little white box and lay down on the table.

"Do you mind if I bring up the 217 case again?" Bai Shengnan asked.

"What do you care about?"

"Then I'll say it again." Bai Shengnan held the cup in his hand and watched him, "Judging from the current results of the 217 case, the case is very simple and clear. All the evidence shows that the Liu family is lying, but the case is over. , the public opinion covered up their real purpose with the Liu family's eagerness to protect the daughter, and you helped Zhang Dingquan, who did not take the bias of public opinion, to win the lawsuit. This man will be considered a sinner for the rest of his life, regardless of his innocence."

"Xu Zhi, you are also a victim. You just did what you should do. The public anger piles up on you, just because they will never agree that a group CEO can really clear up their grievances. Between the strong and the weak, the weak It has its own attribute of protecting the masses, and it has been four months since this happened, and after another four months, no one will remember, you have to adjust yourself, understand?"

"I understand," Xu Zhi glanced at her lazily after her long speech, "Doctor Bai, have you slept with Qi Jingyi?"

"what?"

"In the past four months, I have tried to ask him to come to accompany me many nights, but he refused. I always thought, if he came to accompany me for one night, maybe I would have adjusted myself."

"You, Xu Zhi... what are you talking about..."

Xu Zhi curled his lips, slowly raised his body, and sat up straight, "I mean, I want someone to accompany me, not Qi Jingyi, anyone else is fine."

This case is actually very complicated. Fragments and details have to be pieced together to be considered a complete story. It is impossible to tell the whole story in one chapter. The real big boss is not so obvious, so... wait for more.
