daytime firefly

Where is that piece of paper, I'm afraid I have to ask Zhou Jianming, but Xu Zhi didn't mention it on the phone, and he didn't realize it until later after he hung up the phone. In Ping Bokuan's view, what was written on the missing page of the notebook should have little meaning.

Xu Zhi thought, Feng Xiangjun's homicide crime, the police's investigation was correct, the court's sentence was correct, the mistake was due to omissions, and the real behind-the-scenes instigator has not been dug out yet.

He also thought that no matter whether the person behind him was Zhang Dingquan or not, he would inevitably go to find Li Ziran and his mother again.

In the evening, Xu Zhi's car was parked outside the Fried Restaurant. When he entered, it was almost closing time. The boss was standing at the cash register to sort out the bills, and Li Ziran's mother was picking up the leftovers left by the guests.

As soon as Xu Zhi entered the door, she saw it, with a bit of impatience on her face, "Lawyer Xu, haven't you eaten so late?"

Xu Zhi sat down nearby, took a cup and poured himself a cup of tea, "Mother Ziran, this shop, should I call you the chef, or the proprietress?"

After finishing speaking, the boss at the other end looked at him. Just as he was about to say something, Li Ziran's mother sat down opposite him, holding a rag in her hand, "Lawyer Xu, you need to talk about evidence. It's unreasonable to link us, right?"

After Xu Zhi drank the tea in the cup, he took a document from his bag and handed it to her, "I've been thinking, how do you pay Ziran such an expensive price when you are raising your child alone and working part-time in such a fried restaurant?" training class, or why you, a chef, are still cleaning the front hall at this closing time, duty and affection have to be accounted for, right?"

Li Ziran's mother opened the file. Inside was the registration form and schedule of Li Ziran's foreign language training class, and there was another document below it, which was the business license and registration form of the fried restaurant.

"I think you've misunderstood. I'm working so hard to make money so that my child can study in a better environment. I'm willing to spend as much as I can for him."

"You're not for him," Xu Zhi looked at the boss behind the cashier, "You're for him."

"You are talking nonsense, we are just an employment relationship!"

"Am I talking nonsense, you know best," Xu Zhi took out another document, unfolded it, and put it in front of her eyes, "Zhang Zhi, 40 years old, lost all his fortune in underground casinos a few years ago, and then went to Yikang Road. There is a stall at the gate of the elementary school, and they also make fried rice. If I guess correctly, you met in early 2015. You held a wedding in your hometown in early 16, but you haven’t received a certificate yet. The reason why you haven’t received the certificate is because you haven’t been with yours yet. The alcoholic husband is getting divorced, did I miss anything?"

"Yu Ling," Zhang Zhihui walked over, held Xiao Yuling's shoulders, and then rushed to Xu Zhi, "Lawyer Xu, I don't know why you keep holding on to Yu Ling, I'm frank with her, and I have nothing to be afraid of." Yes, what exactly are you going to do, just say it.”

"I don't do anything," Xu Zhilao felt thirsty, poured himself another cup of tea, and said while drinking, "I just want to know why Yu Haili gave you the one hundred thousand."

Xiao Yuling's pupils were dilated, and she looked at Xu Zhi in disbelief even more than before, as if he had just revealed the original shape of a monster in an instant.

"me,"

"You don't have to be nervous. I can come alone or with the police. Since I came by myself, you should understand that I have no intention of targeting you."

Xiao Yuling put one hand on the table, and the dishcloth in her hand was crumpled into a ball. After a long time, she waited a long time before she could open her mouth, "Yes, it's the hush money."

"What do you know, she wants to seal your mouth?"

"It's not me, it's Ziran," Xiao Yuling said. "At the beginning of 15, Ziran suddenly told me that he met a young lady at school and said she was injured. He said that sister was very kind to him. Tell him to do his homework, buy him milk, and give him an umbrella."

"Liu Xintong told him about herself?"

Xiao Yuling nodded, "Zi Ran didn't understand, but I knew that the child was ruined. Not long after that, Zhang Dingquan was sued, and Liu Xintong's family appeared on TV, so I was sure that Zi Ran was not lying."

"Then how did Yu Haili know that you knew about this?"

"Yes," Xiao Yuling glanced at Zhang Zhi before saying, "I wanted to be a witness and took Ziran to the police station, but they found out."

"Still lying?"

When Xu Zhi asked lightly, Xiao Yuling trembled in fright, Xu Zhi continued, "Li Ziran went to the police station secretly, he even went to the court himself, but he never dared to go in, how do you explain? "

"I, I can explain, it's because,"

"Because of money, because you know that you can ask for a sum of money for this matter. Once you get the money, you can open a shop and enroll Li Ziran in expensive courses, right?"

Xiao Yuling couldn't help crying at last, sobbing uncontrollably, even Zhang Zhi lowered his head.

"But what's the difference between you and us," Xiao Yuling said in tears, "Zhang Dingquan is innocent, didn't you do it all by yourself? How dare you say that you didn't do it for money?"

"It's a fact that Zhang Dingquan is innocent, and that's why I came to you today."

"What, what?"

"Mother......"

Li Ziran's voice came from behind. Xu Zhi turned around and found that the child had grown taller. When he saw him, his eyes were a little surprised, or rather pleasantly surprised.

……

"I can't remember," Li Ziran sat obediently beside Xu Zhi when he said this, "My sister wrote too much, and I don't know many words."

Xu Zhi was very gentle, and put his palms on his head, "It's okay, just say what you remember, it's not written by my sister, or it can be told by my sister, it doesn't matter."

Li Ziran lowered his head, thinking about it seriously. When he was young, Li Ziran said, "Sister said, he is a pig."

Xu Zhi remembered that the description of 'pig' appeared many times in Liu Xintong's notes, so he asked, "Does it mean very fat?"

Li Ziran nodded, then shook his head again, "My sister said he was wearing a pig's head, so I asked my sister to call him...uncle." After finishing speaking, he thought for a while, "My sister said that she would be sent far away every time. Bring it back tonight."

"Is it sent far away every time?"

Li Ziran nodded again, then got off the chair and ran to Xiao Yuling's side, "Mom, I'm sorry."

Xu Zhi lowered his eyes helplessly at his words.

The car drove away from the fried restaurant later, and finally stopped downstairs of the Yuehai Group. At this point, there was still a beam of light shining in an office in this building.

"Li Ziran's words today are obviously beneficial to Zhang Dingquan. Yu Haili can tell right from wrong just by asking Xiao. Why did you still give them the money to shut up?"

"Maybe Yu Haili doesn't know Zhang Dingquan that well. She thinks those things are all about Zhang Dingquan." It was Qi Jingyi's voice on the phone. He should be at home, and there was a background sound of running water when he spoke.

It's not impossible. Xu Zhi thought about it, and his head started to hurt again. He would put down the car window and wait for the wind to come in. "Old Qi, I have a headache."

"Is it hurting badly? Where are you? I'll come over."

"No need," Xu Zhi said nonchalantly, "I haven't seen Zhou Jianming for several days."

"you……"

What else did Xu Zhi want to say, his eyes fell on the entrance of the building, a private car slowly stopped, and a person got out of the back seat of the car, carrying something like a bento in his hand, that person was wearing a suit, tall Slender, with long hair pinned behind his ears, Xu Zhi didn't look too far, he even reacted so quickly that the private car had just left, and he had already followed into the building.

The elevator went up all the way and stopped at the thirteenth floor. Xu Zhi only waited for nothing to happen before pressing another elevator, going up to the twelfth floor, and then going up the safe passage.

Coming out of the safe passage on the thirteenth floor, passing a long corridor, the secretary's office and the general manager's office are separated on both sides. It was too late, and the lights were not very bright after entering. It is separated from the outside office.

Xu Zhi walked a few steps quietly before seeing a little light, and only when he got near the meeting room did he make any sound.

It was the sound of music, probably something from a concert. Xu Zhi walked outside the door of the conference room, when there was a faint voice of talking inside.

But the voice was mixed, Xu Zhi really couldn't understand what he said, and at this moment, the music was suddenly stopped, Xu Zhi suddenly became nervous, and was about to escape when he heard someone questioning——

"When? Tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow?"

"hold on."

"What are you waiting for? How long? Give me an answer."

There was a moment of silence, Xu Zhi looked in through the crack of the door, and there were two people sitting and standing, as if separated by a Milky Way, only the bento box on the huge conference table looked weird and out of harmony.

Annoyingly, from this angle, Xu Zhi could only see one arm of the person sitting on the conference table, tapping his fingers on the table.

But he could see clearly that the person was Liang An.

The voice was still too low to distinguish, so Xu Zhi pointed the camera of his phone at the gap, thinking that as long as that person stood up, he could be recorded. As long as he knew who that person was, the matter would be solved.

"I have called back all the people I sent to the countryside." Liang An seemed to compromise, and sat down and said to the other party, "That guy is dead, and his wife is very difficult. I don't think their child can move anymore."

"Well," fingers stopped, palms resting on the table, Xu Zhi's hand holding the phone was dripping with sweat, and then he heard a creepy sentence - "The one in the hospital, get rid of it as soon as possible."

"Okay, do what you say." Liang An raised his eyebrows, took the bento box, opened it, and there were a few delicate dishes inside, "Come here."

The opposite side stood still for a moment, and then stood up. When walking towards Liang An, Xu Zhi suddenly saw Tan Xiao's face on the phone screen.

"Tan Xiao..."

Xu Zhi put away the phone, probably because he was too excited, and accidentally touched the door with his arm. There was no sound at all, but for some reason, he heard Tan Xiao raise his voice and shout, "Who's there?"
