The Lawyer

Chapter 62: Preparation (1)

The return trip happened to be the peak of congestion in the third area. Yan Suizhi was too lazy to creep slowly behind a bunch of cars and simply changed the longest route around the area. He didn't care much about the length of time he spent in the end, as long as he didn't brake every five to ten meters.

There is nothing in his stomach at this moment, and he will feel uncomfortable if he stops too much.

The route around the district is too remote, so it is smoother than those in the district. But he was not the only one who would rather bypass the road to avoid congestion, so he also encountered a long pause during the journey.

While waiting, Yan Sui's eyes swept across the roadside.

Cherry Manor?

His sight finally stopped on the big sign at the fork in front of the diagonal. The huge arrow points to a tree-lined avenue, 700 meters from the display.

This place is not unfamiliar, many people are familiar with this name-this is the famous winery in the third district of Lyra, but there is a large cherry garden behind the winery, with a variety of vine flowers and evergreens The tree is very beautifully built. This very affectionate garden has been passed down by word of mouth among the guests of the winery, and eventually became a good place for those people to hold a garden reception or similar recreation.

The manager of this winery is very emotional, in order to please those guests, according to the tastes of different people, each VIP guest brews a custom wine as a unique gift, one bottle a year, with the name and unique mark , Placed in every corner of the cherry orchard, maybe behind some flower branches, maybe among a bunch of green leaves.

Guests have a year to slowly look for surprises.

Those wine bottles are wrapped with a special and delicate soft film, which is conducive to the preservation of those wines. Guests find good luck as soon as they find it, and even more mellow as they find evening wine.

This is a happy thing, and it is naturally popular, so Cherry Manor has become more famous.

But what attracted Yan Sui's attention at this time was not its reputation, but because of the series of follow-up photos that Ben Qi showed him before, several of them were from here. There are Qiao and Zhao Zemu, and Qiao alone.

Yan Suizhi thought about it, simply switched the driving mode to manual, turned the steering wheel, turned the road from the fork, and went straight into the boulevard.

He has n’t actually been to Cherry Manor a few times. After all, his busy life has determined that he did n’t have so much leisurely time to cross-planet to engage in garden receptions, but his name is on the cherry manor ’s VIP guest list, because he will come from Order some wine as a small gift, or let students taste different flavors at the birthday party.

The customized wine belonging to him was also sent directly to Decama at the request of him every year.

Yan Suizhi came out of the parking lot and walked to the door of Cherry Manor suddenly stopped.

Almost forgot, he can only enter the front hall of Cherry Manor now, and cannot enter the cherry garden at the back. After all, it is no longer the identity of "Yan Suizhi", but "Ruan Ye".

While he was hesitating, two people happened to come out of the manor's front hall.

Not anyone else, it was the unlucky Bunch and Hesi.

Ben Qi originally walked in the front, gesturing with gestures while walking, and as a result Yu Guang glanced at Yan Suizhi, and there was a sudden brake at his feet.

Yan Suizhi smiled: "What a coincidence."

Bunki cried and hugged his camera tightly, "Why are you again!"

Because of the previous events, Ben Qi now sees Yan Suizhi or Gu Yan wanting to run, and hopes to speak 800 meters away.

"Don't panic." Yan Suizhi placated, "I won't grab your camera this time."

This is worth pondering, which means "Although I don't grab the camera, I have to do something else."

Benqi dealt with various word and language games every day. Of course, he caught the point when he heard it, and his face was even more sad. "What do you want to do, you say it first."

Yan Suizhi looked at the winery and asked him, "I just heard you talking about Zhao Zemu. He is at the winery now?"

Ben Qi nodded: "Yeah, otherwise what should I do with Hesi here? Drink?"

He stared at Yan Suizhi suspiciously, "What? You ... do you want to go in?"

This intimacy will make Yan Suizhi very satisfied and save him speaking.

"Smart people." Professor Yan Da exaggerated without hesitation, "Excuse me to the cherry orchard?"

Benqi especially wanted to say: "Don't bother to dream," but remembering his previous quality education, he swallowed back again and grunted reluctantly like a toothache: "Forget it, you , Hey ... come with me. "

A few photos of Benqi were taken in the cherry orchard before, indicating that he was obviously qualified to enter the garden.

When Bunch took Hussey and Yan Suizhi back to the lobby, the receptionist was stunned. "Did you have anything here?"

"Oh no, I happened to meet a friend and took him to the cherry orchard by the way." When Ben Qi said "meeting a friend", the tone was like "hit a ghost", which attracted the waiter to see Yan Suzhi Several eyes.

"Uh, okay, no problem." The waiter exemplified his good attitude. Immediately after he understood it, he put on a very enthusiastic smile and made a gesture to the path leading to the cherry orchard, "Please follow me So what wine do you need, sir? "

I dare you to get poisoned wine?

Bunki murmured in his heart for a long time, picking a relatively cost-effective: "Sweet Garden Bar."

"Okay." The waiter didn't ask much.

Yan Suizhi was logically brought into the cherry orchard.

The park is very large, with different trees and flowers and vines separating the road space, and every short walk along the cobble road will have an open space where exquisite round tables and wicker chairs are placed, where guests can taste wine, or I want a pot of cherry tea and scented tea, and enjoy some desserts.

Simply came in, Ben Qi did not continue to be hypocritical, and simply sent the Buddha to the west, with a night and mother face to lead Yan Suizhi to the depths of the park.

"Sit here first."

They picked a table and chairs surrounded by strawberries and star grass, and the waiter quickly brought liqueur, ice, cream, a plate of exquisite wine snacks, and three fine-foot glasses, each It is decorated with a red cherry.

The young man skillfully served the three of them with good wine and smiled at them: "Slow use, what's the need to ring the bell on the table."

Yan Suizhi ate some snacks and cushioned, and then took a sip from the cup.

Everything about him is very clear. It ’s one thing to be troubled by being photographed. It ’s another thing to be brought in by Ben Qi. So he swallowed the sweet wine and said to Ben Qi: "Thanks, look back Give you a bottle of Camon on a silver background. "

Cammon on the silver bottom is the famous first-class wine of Cherry Manor. It belongs to the style with the widest taste acceptance. It is suitable as a gift.

But expensive ...

Bunki rolled his eyes, "Can you buy Ginza Kamon and ask me to take you in?"

The implication is to stop teasing me, I still don't count on it.

Yan Suizhi raised her eyebrows without explaining.

"Zhao Zemu went to the prayer house." Ben Qi lifted his chin toward a separate path in the distance. "He has to stay in it for a long time every time. If you have enough time, you should wait. We are going anyway. "

He seems to have other things to be busy, or there are other people to follow, and he has no plans to stay here. With a sip of the whole glass of liqueur, he urged Hesi to finish drinking and leave quickly.

So five minutes later, only one of Yan Sui was left in the deep part of the cherry orchard. The person sipped the mulled wine. His eyes swept the surrounding flowers and plants, and finally fell on that one. On the trail.

At the end of the trail there is a warm-colored house called the prayer house.

Cherry Manor serves a train here, specially set up a prayer house for some ladies and gentlemen who borrow wine to worry about. There is a prayer officer who is responsible for listening to complaints and drunkenness, a bit similar to the ancient clergy. You can say anything with confidence in front of him, and according to regulations, he has the right and obligation to keep your content confidential.

Ben Qi is a person who has been photographing for a long time and knows Zhao Zemu's habits well.

Yan Suizhi sat here for an hour, and the sky was dark before Zhao Zemu came out of the prayer house. I haven't seen it for a while. He looks a lot of vicissitudes. A layer of green stubble emerges from his chin, which is far from the meticulous look he had taken care of before.

He met an acquaintance on the road, forcibly cheered up and said a few words.

"Why did you come here suddenly? I thought you wouldn't go out recently." The man said.

Zhao Zemu nodded, and said with some fatigue: "I suddenly wanted to come and see recently."

The man suddenly realized, "Oh, I remember, you, Manson and Joe, you always come here to drink bars? Who do I remember hearing?"

Zhao Zemu: "Well, a long time ago, when I was a teenager, I secretly came to drink by the name of my family."

The man laughed. "It seems that I have done this kind of thing. I found a wine in the garden with the name of my parents to change the label. At that time, I thought that the prank was very interesting."

"Yes."

The man thought about it and sighed again, "I heard that Manson is not in good health?"

Although the Manson family blocked some news, the people in that circle heard some wind.

Zhao Zemu: "Well ... I always think of the stupid things that Manson did in his twenties, so I came here to turn around."

"Hey ..." The man patted Zhao Zemu on the shoulder. "I don't know what will happen to him."

Zhao Zemu had been silent for a long time, and then said, "It will always be discharged. Okay, don't say it, I will go first."

"Okay, have time to drink next time!"

"Ok."

When Zhao Zemu passed by, Yan Suizhi turned his face inward by drinking.

According to the regulations here, as the defense lawyer of the suspect Chen Zhang, he cannot meet the witnesses of the victim at will.

The cherry manor from Yansui came to be on a whim, of course, did not go through the process. He just came to observe Zhao Zemu's state and did not intend to have a direct dialogue with him.

Zhao Zemu really didn't see him and hurried away.

The person left was still in the garden, and naturally chatted with Zhao Zemu with another fellow traveler.

"His relationship with Manson is so good? Why didn't I see it?"

"That was because you didn't know them before. When they were young, they had a good relationship. He, Joe, and Manson were alienated when they were older.

"Really, he looks calmer?"

"It's the essence in my bones! Of the three, the most stupid one is, Manson deserves it."

...

Yan Suizhi listened to them, after running through a circle of people, drinking the last bit of wine, and carefully wiped the fingers of the snack with clean paper towels before leaving.

The next morning there was no good sign from early in the morning, the sky was dark, and the wind was twirling all around.

Yan Suizhi arrived at the detention center on time at the meeting time.

"Wait a moment, I'll bring Chen Zhang over." Tiger Face Discipline watched him come every day, and every day made Chen Zhang look dazed, but he didn't talk about the case seriously, and it was quite unlucky. Even the tone eased a bit.

Yan Suizhi sat down in the old position in the meeting room and nodded: "Excuse me."

It turned out that this was another ten minutes.

Even the disciplinary guard at the door could n’t bear to watch it. One of them glanced into the meeting room and whispered to the other, “Do n’t just go back in a circle and go back to the starting point. How do I think Chen Zhang wants Refused to meet. "

"That's too difficult."

"This intern was also unlucky, and he encountered such a client as soon as he came up."

"I'm so lucky."

The two thought their voice was very small, but in fact the kind of small conversation that Yan Suozhi could hear most of them, and suddenly a little bit crying and laughing.

But he was not in a hurry, still sitting relaxed in his chair.

Ten minutes later, the disciples at the door slammed their heels and stood by the wall.

"I've seen a ghost, and I'm here!"

"It's been half the time before the meeting ..."

Slow footsteps sounded in the hallway, very heavy and procrastinating, accompanied by the soft sound of metal collision with handcuffs.

Yan Suizhi's hands were loosely held and rested at the table, he knew that Chen Zhang had figured it out. Maybe there were countless reasons for him to reject and resist telling the truth, maybe there were countless obstacles preventing him from speaking, but now, he must have figured it out.

Today's Chen Zhang looks twice as haggard as yesterday. There is a large group of blue and black, the beard on the lips has been connected into a piece, the hair is ribbed, and even the muscles that have been exercised from diving for years seem to collapse. Covered by clothing.

But his eyes were bright and his eyes were heavy.

He sat down in position and spoke slowly: "Yesterday ’s recording was played back many times in my mind, many many times, so I could n’t fall asleep overnight. I heard my dad and my mom keep asking I, bitterly, do you not want them ... "

He calmed down and smiled bitterly again, "I said, how can I ... I just ..."

"I'm just afraid to see them ..."

"You know? My family has a genetic disease. At 60 years old, eight or nine will be paralyzed. I will not be far away from it. At most there will be four or five years. In fact, this disease cannot be cured, including my mother. The heart and lungs really need to be cured. Find the best hospital for self-cultivation, choose the healthiest backup period, and replace the damaged organs with the organs you raised. I have consulted ... that is ... I do n’t earn enough Rich."

Chen Zhangdao said: "If it is a more useful person and earns a little more, they may not have to lie down in the hospital now. So I don't want to see them, I have no face to see ... The closer to the time of onset, the less I want to see , Want to go further, find a small hospital that they do n’t know about and get sick. "

"In these two years, every few days, I was as imaginative as the devil, how could there not be a pie in the sky, or where would there be a tornado, a little money to scrape in front of me ... every day I think every day, dream All thinking. "

...

He seemed to regard Yan Suizhi as the kind of prayer officer in Cherry Manor, pouring out the complaints and dreams of these years, and he couldn't stop talking more and more.

But Yan Suizhi did not urge, nor showed any impatience, nor did he show any expression of pity or sympathy, just like listening to an ordinary phrase, which actually made Chen Zhang very relaxed and felt that it was okay to say anything.

After a long time, Chen Zhang finally dug out the dust that had accumulated for a long time, and exhaled for a long time.

It was only then that he raised his eyes and looked at Yan Suizhi reluctantly, "I thought for a night and thought ... They should still want to see me more than a handful of money fell from the sky?"

Yan Suizhi said: "Of course."

He thought about it and said, "And there are some places where you can say that the high-volume surgery can be greatly reduced, at least I know one or two."

Chen Zhang's eyes widened instantly, "Really?"

"Of course, there will be some conditions, but it is not harsh." Yan Suizhi said, "It's just that the environment may not be as good as Lyra, in the wine city."

Chen Zhang stared at his eyes for a long time and seemed to confirm the credibility of his words. For a while, he closed his eyes as if determined, and opened it again, saying: "About ... about that case ... about Mr. Manson ... I'm wrong."

Yan Suizhi looked at him.

He finished this sentence, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled, "but not murder."

Yan Suizhi nodded, "So, do you want me to be a guilty defense, or an innocent defense, tell me."

Chen Zhang pinched his finger and said, "Innocent."

"it is good."

"I didn't do those things, but ..." Chen Zhangdao said, "but I recorded a confession of guilt, my fingerprints remain on the syringe, the bottom of the medicine bottle, and—"

Yan Suizhi interrupted him calmly, "Those are not what you have to consider, as long as you promise to tell the truth, let me do the rest."

A thunder suddenly sounded outside, and came in through the door and wall. Chen Zhang's fingers tremble and slowly clenched, suddenly awake and said: "Okay, I promise."

It was cloudy for a whole day, and finally a heavy rain began. The cold and huge raindrops hit the eaves wall, and immediately got wet.

The street was gurgling, and soon there was nowhere to go.

Yan Suizhi walked out along the corridor of the detention center, the window glass was paste into a piece of rain, and from time to time, lightning flashed to shine half of the sky.

He silently opened the asset card and glanced at it. He said that he was going to finish it. He was really caught by Gu Yan's crow mouth. The balance was already terrible enough to buy an umbrella.

The longest corridor of the detention center also had an end. As the rain outside was overwhelming, he had to stop at a distance of one meter from the gate.

Just when he was about to break the jar and fall, leaning against the wall and waiting for the rain to stop, he saw a figure across the street coming out of the car. Come here.

Walking to the steps of the gate of the detention center, he slightly tilted the edge of the umbrella and looked up at Yan Suizhi.

Yan Sui was shocked and stood up straight.

The face of the other party was vague in the heavy rain, but it was still recognized by Gu Yan at a glance.

Yan Suizhi brought up the holographic screen, and his finger briskly sent a message:

-Didn't you say you arrived at night?

Gu Yan didn't look at the smartphone at all, and came up the stairs under the umbrella. He stopped in front of the door and said: "Send a message within five meters?"

Yan Suizhi: "Who sent me a message yesterday to raise my head? I can't remember it."

Gu Yan: "..."

Professor Yan Da was rescued and immediately followed Gu Yan down the stairs and walked to the courtyard door side by side.

"Is the room booked?" Gu Yan asked.

Yan Suizhi said: "No order."

Gu Yan: "?"

Yan Suizhi said frankly: "The balance is only enough to add an extra bed in my room, and now I can't even afford an umbrella."

"..."

Lawyer Gu has a blank face and can't tell whether he was shocked by the "extra bed" or shocked by "the umbrella can't afford it".

But it seemed that he wanted to throw the people under the umbrella in the rainstorm.

Yan Suizhi appreciated his face in silence, and finally couldn't help laughing, "I am amused to you and ordered it. But you have to explain it to me, am I a beast of floods, and your face is stretched like this with an extra bed ? "

Gu Yanmu didn't squint, silently, walked to the side of the street and pulled the car door, and stuffed someone in.

He sat in the driver's seat himself, put the umbrella in the umbrella compartment, and just about to start the car, a thin, long, white hand suddenly stretched out next to it.

"Give money, deposit a room. With your blessing of a crow's mouth, your teacher really can't afford an umbrella." Yan Suizhi said.

Gu Yan: "..."

Why didn't you spend yourself a pawn?
