daytime firefly

Xu Zhi still slept restlessly this time, he still had the dream of being locked in a cage and paraded through the streets, but the person locked in the cage was replaced by a little girl, and he stood in the crowd of onlookers .

The little girl was sitting inside, with short, even hair, holding a red and blue cylindrical object in her hand. Her eyes were so clear that people thought she didn't understand why she was locked inside.

Then, Xu Zhi and her looked at each other from a distance, and there was a moment of staring at each other, time stopped, everything around stopped, and the noise subsided, Xu Zhi saw a line of water drops from the corner of the little girl's eyes, dripping down to her chin When she was about to drop down, she suddenly let out a sharp scream, which was long and tinnitus.

beep beep beep beep

"Uh!"

Xu Zhimeng woke up with a start, his forehead was wet with sweat, and his hair was sticky on it.

The bedside electronic clock showed the time was 10:30 in the morning. Xu Zhi turned off the alarm clock. After a while, he lifted the blanket and sat up on the bed. He wondered if Dr. Bai’s medicine had any side effects. Taking it was more painful than not taking it. .

At the same time, the doorbell rang. Xu Zhi came out of the room and walked to the back of the door. From the peephole, there was no one outside. It must be that those "popular anger" were discouraged again. He was about to go back when the doorbell It rang.

Xu Zhi just remembered that he seemed to have an appointment with someone yesterday, but it was only 10:30, and the other party was too anxious. How could this be the virtue of secretly monitoring and tracking such things?

The doorbell rang a few more times. Xu Zhi opened the door and found a child standing outside. The child was not surprised when he saw him. He probably went to the wrong door. "What's the matter?"

The kid nods.

"what's up?"

The child hesitated, but more like he was nervous. He looked around to make sure there was no one around before he said, "Uncle, are you a lawyer?"

Xu Zhi said nothing, and after a while, the child said again, "I believe in you."

"What do you believe in me?"

"I believe you are right." The child looked at him, the sincerity in his eyes was about to roll down with tears.

Xu Zhi felt that if he really cried, he would be offended again, so he opened the door and made way for him, "Come in."

But the child quickly refused. He took off his schoolbag on his own, rummaged through it for a while with his head down, and then took out a tattered notebook and handed it to Xu Zhi, "Thank you, uncle, please."

"Bye, hey!" Xu Zhi didn't stop, and the child stepped into the elevator, leaving only a faint echo in the corridor.

After Xu Zhi brought it to the door, he still held the small book in his hand. The homework book, which children never knew how to take care of, had a few drops of oil stains on the cover. Xu Zhi opened it. The writing was very neat, but the error rate was high. The big red cross after the teacher's correction was shocking. He closed it after reading two pages, and threw it into the drawer of the shoe cabinet.

Qi Jingyi grabbed him and went to the hospital to get the report. The Volkswagen that followed them that day appeared again. When Xu Zhi waited all day but didn't wait for that person, and finally went downstairs to buy food because his stomach was so empty that he convulsed. A Volkswagen was parked across the road, the car was still on, and the cockpit was glowing with a faint yellow light.

So Xu Zhi went straight across the road, stood outside the driver's door and knocked on the window.

It took about ten seconds for the window to loosen, and then it slowly lowered down.

Xu Zhi was taken aback, "Xiao Gao?"

The man in the driver's seat took out the lollipop from his mouth after being petrified for a long time, "Lawyer Xu..."

Xiao Gao was Zhang Dingquan's driver, Xu Zhi was busy with Zhang Dingquan at that time, Xiao Gao almost picked him up and dropped him off, but at that time he was still driving Zhang Dingquan's multi-million dollar luxury car.

Xu Zhi ordered two cups of hot milkshakes at the convenience store, and when he came back, he got into the co-pilot directly, "Hey, drink it."

Xiao Gao bowed and took it, avoiding his gaze, "No, I'm sorry, Lawyer Xu."

"It's nothing to be embarrassed about. Your boss sent you to follow me because he thinks he won the lawsuit. Will I still scold him behind his back?"

"No, no, no," Xiao Gao wanted to say something like a fishbone stuck in his mouth, but couldn't organize his words clearly, and stumbled for a long time, "Oh, lawyer Xu, you are a lawyer, and you helped my boss with such a big job again. Busy, I dare not offend you by saying anything."

"Then just tell me what to do with me." Xu Zhi drank his milkshake, his eyes fell outside the windshield, and he didn't know where he was looking.

Xiao Gao blushed, "Lawyer Xu, actually, the boss asked me to protect you. The case is over and the boss has been wronged, but you have been subjected to violence. My boss, I feel ashamed."

Xu Zhi heard it, but his reaction was half a beat late. He smiled belatedly, "There is no need to follow from now on. If I can be drowned in saliva, ten of you can't protect me," he stretched out his hand after speaking. He opened the car door, turned around and bent down after getting out of the car, and asked Xiao Gao, "You called me yesterday?"

"Ah? What phone number?"

Xu Zhi stared at the dazed face, and sighed when he was young, "It's okay, don't come again, Qi Jingyi went to the police station to file a case that day, and I'll have someone arrest you if you come again, remember?"

Xiao Gao couldn't help nodding, and he was really relieved when he walked far and entered the community.

Xu Zhi, who was helping his boss with his lawsuit four months ago, was not as gentle as he is today. He didn't know anything else. From the time he had been in contact with Xu Zhi, Xu Zhi had the words 'not to be messed with' carved into his bones. Three words.

It's not violent, it's not tempered, it's not mean, but it's defiant and full of cold blood. In Xiao Gao's short life experience in the past twenty years, he has never seen Xu Zhi like this.

Xu Zhi walked unhappily, and when he got downstairs, he just finished a glass of milkshake.

The elevator arrived at the 26th floor. Xu Zhi went to the door to enter the password. With a short music, the door bounced open. After entering the room, at the moment when he reached out to turn on the light, a gust of strong wind struck behind him, and Xu Zhi's waist was slapped. His arms were put into his arms, and his whole body was pressed against the wall. The person who came moved so violently that Xu Zhi was so suppressed that he couldn't move. At this moment, the door clicked again, and it was tightly closed in front of Xu Zhi's eyes.

Compared with the breath, smell, and even the silent aura, a thought suddenly flashed in Xu Zhi's mind, should the aunt across the door smell his corpse in a few days...

"Call me, what's the matter."

Xu Zhi was pulled back on track by these words, but the voice was too close, and his ears were itchy. When Xu Zhi's head subconsciously fell to the other side, a brief warm touch came from the side of his neck, and Xu Zhi became stiff like an electric shock. body, for a moment—

The person behind said again, "If you don't speak, I will leave."

"You, wait," Xu Zhi interrupted eagerly, and slowly put down his hand supporting the wall, "If you really want to protect me, don't hide in the dark, it happens that there are troubles all around me, we You can sign a contract, won't you be my bodyguard openly?"

"Lawyer Xu, I'm not interested in being your bodyguard."

After saying this, Xu Zhi was let go, and when he was about to turn his head, his eyes suddenly went dark, his hard chest pressed against his back, his dry palms covered his eyes, driven by that force, Xu Zhi was caught Take it step by step to the bedroom.

His calf knocked against the edge of the bed, and Xu Zhi was crushed down. The man's breathing was so heavy that from the call that told him to leave quickly to the moment he entered the door, Xu Zhi had already abandoned his guess, and the catastrophe was imminent. His sense of crisis filled his mind, which made him more or less about to swear.

"Don't mess around, there are surveillance cameras at home, and there are cameras everywhere in this neighborhood!"

The man's tone was relatively calm. He breathed on his shoulder and neckline through the thickness of a finger, and told him unhurriedly, "Lawyer Xu doesn't seem to have any security awareness. It's a good thing for you to have a camera." .”

Just as Xu Zhi was about to say something, his body suddenly lightened, and there was no light in the house. Although he quickly turned over and stood up, he only caught a glimpse of a figure who quickly disappeared at the door.

The next day, Xu Zhi woke up early after a dreamless night.

Everyone in Xincheng's office delayed their work for 5 minutes on the morning when he appeared. During these 5 minutes, Fang Jin closed the door of his office.

Looking in from the outside, Fang Jin turned left and right around Xu Zhi who was sitting on the sofa, sometimes stopped to talk to him, sometimes made exaggerated gestures with him, and finally Xu Zhi moved to Fang Jin's side in full view , Hugged him, the two whispered, I don't know what they said, Fang Jin touched the back of his head.

There is no more, after Xu Zhi came out of his office, everyone suddenly started to panic, Xu Zhi took two steps towards the crowd, "Coffee or milk tea?"

"coffee!"

"milk tea……"

"It's all right... uh..."

Xu Zhi took out his wallet, took out a few RMB and put it on a trainee lawyer's desk nearby, "Bring me an iced Americano."

"Thank you Xu Lu!"

Qi Jingyi didn't return to the office until almost noon, and when he learned that Xu Zhi was coming to work, he went straight to his office after getting out of the elevator.

Lawyers at Xu Zhi’s stage actually don’t need to be on duty. Qi Jingyi asked him to return to work, mainly to let him reconnect his work. Cases wait for no one, and he doesn’t do other lawyers. It's time to come.

Seeing him coming, Qi Jingyi was very happy, "Little ancestor, have you figured it out?"

"Someone broke into my house yesterday." Xu Zhi said.

Qi Jingyi's face suddenly changed, "What about that person, did he call the police?"

Xu Zhi shook his head, "The day Liu Zhendong brought someone to look for me, he called me and asked me to leave. I think he didn't mean anything to me." After a pause, he added, "I didn't see his face clearly. , without turning on the light, he said a few words and left."

"What did you say?"

The sound of breathing was still in my ears, Xu Zhi lost his mind for a while, then quickly shook his head, "It's nothing important."

Qi Jingyi walked up to him now, sat halfway on the edge of his desk, looked down at him and said, "You can move to my place."

Xu Zhi heard it, and only asked, "Sleeping in a bed?"

"You know I have a guest room, or you can sleep in the master bedroom, and I can sleep in the guest room, as you like."

"Tch..." Xu Zhi was even more ungrateful, "Golden nest and silver nest..."

"Xu Zhi,"

"Okay, let me tell you one more thing." Xu Zhi raised his head and said, "The Volkswagen was sent by Zhang Dingquan, who said it was to protect my safety. Heh, the lawsuit was won, and Zhang Dingquan retreated. My defense Lawyers are harassed every day, who can I turn to for reasoning?”

Qi Jingyi didn't look surprised, "The Liu family can't go to him now, so they can only look for you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Jin hurried in, "They're all here."

Qi Jingyi said, "What's the matter, Fang Lv?"

Fang Jin put the mobile phone in front of the two of them, and there was a current news on it. Fang Jin said, "In the news just now, three members of Liu Zhendong's family were poisoned by gas. When they were found, they had been dead for ten hours."

Xu Zhi's mind froze for a moment. The person who coded on the screen was threatening and scolding at his door two days ago, but now he has become several corpses, and has once again become the center of the news storm.

User 5876493: [This family is really pitiful. Last year, the daughter was sexually assaulted and jumped off the building. This year, the couple and their son suffered an accident together. God bless, let the poor people live better]

Flowers under the tree: [There is no fairness in the law. At that time, Zhang Dingquan was taken down by conclusive evidence. As a result, he hired a powerful lawyer, and the case was overturned. The bad guys live long, and the good guys die early! 】

Ding Dong: [This is not an accident, could it be a suicide, because I miss my daughter and become sick, the whole family can't bear this pain, so we went to find my daughter together... If this is the case, what is the address, and I want to go to worship. 】

Plus sign 22: [If it is true as the above said, then the adoptive parents are really closer than real parents, Zhang Dingquan and his lawyer should die, death is not enough to apologize to the four members of the Liu family of. 】

……

Xu Zhi was sent home by Qi Jingyi. The time showed six o'clock in the evening. As soon as he entered the house, Xu Zhi went to the bathroom to wash his face with cold water. When he came out again, Qi Jingyi had already warmed up his freshly packed dinner.

"It's time to eat, Xu Zhi."

When Xu Zhi arrived at the dining table, he helped him to sit down. Qi Jingyi sat opposite him and said, "Don't think about it too much. Everyone has their own destiny. No one can control these things."

"I didn't think much about it... My mood right now is the same as yours," Xu Zhi said, "I will too, I will be shocked."

It was rare for Qi Jingyi to be softened by him, and he reached out and handed him a bowl of soup, "Hurry up, it will be cold in a while."

"Yeah." Xu Zhi was about to eat, but just as he held the spoon in his hand, the doorbell rang again.

Qi Jingyi got up patiently and went to open the door. After the door opened, Xu Zhi heard——

"Hello, Ping Bokuan, Criminal Investigation Brigade of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, is lawyer Xu Zhixu at home?"
