Chapter 18 Section 18

"Ok." "I decided to make an amendment to our relationship - we are no longer just friends, but strategic partners. The way is: we will maintain the habit of discussing academic issues from now on, at least an hour a day - just like we did in high school Because studies have shown that two men and women with high IQ discuss academic issues together, even if they are in different research fields and different research directions, it will not only help academic research progress, but also help promote people's physical and mental harmony. Understand? The unity of man and nature, this is the direction of my recent research.”

"Didn't you study astrophysics?" I said. "I think the golden key of physics is philosophy. What's your point of view?" He stretched out a hand and generously invited me to express my opinion. I had no opinion at all. What did the book say?Two parallel lines never intersect? I don't know those polite languages, anyway, that's what it means, anyway, it's me and Xiao Zhe. "Eat quickly, and we'll go out for a walk after eating." Xiao Zhe said, "When I was young, my grandpa often told me to walk a hundred steps after a meal to live to ninety-nine!"

After saying this, he looked at me expectantly.That look made me feel that if I rejected him, I would be the most impersonal person in the world. Fortunately, Anan and Xiahua came back in time to save the scene. Anan was carrying a large bag of fruit, and Xiahua entered the door holding his arm. Seeing her, she was very happy, her face was rosy, and her movements were dexterous. Driven out of her body, disappeared without a trace. What else can be greater than the magic of love?I really can't accept it. "There are mangosteens in this season?" I was at a loss for words. "It's very expensive." Xia Hua smiled coquettishly, looked at Anan and said, "But it's super delicious, we're not short of money."

"I'll wash it." Xiao Zhe took the bag from Anan's hand, turned around and asked me, "Ma Zhuo, do you like mangosteen or grapes?" "Take it all, nonsense!" Xia Hua scolded him, "You only have one Ma Zhuo in your heart!" "Exactly!" He replied in a daze, "Isn't it enough for you to have Uncle Anan?" "What do you mean by that, explain it to me clearly!" Xia Hua chased into the kitchen and continued to argue with him, Anan smiled and shook his head and followed.At this moment, my mobile phone rang suddenly. I walked to the window sill, took out the mobile phone from my bag, and saw that it was another lawyer from Fang Law Firm, Lawyer Liu. I hesitated to answer it. The other party asked me bluntly: "Ma Zhuo, lawyer Fang was poisoned by drinking water from the cup on his desk this afternoon, and he is in the hospital for emergency treatment! Judging from the note you left on his desk, you just went to his office at that time. Office. Therefore, the Public Security Bureau hopes that you can come to assist in the investigation as soon as possible!"

"Tell me the address, I'll be right over." After asking clearly, I hung up the phone, ran to the kitchen and said to Xiao Zhe who was washing fruit with a smile, "Didn't you say you want to go for a walk? Hurry up!" In the Public Security Bureau, the interrogation room was like a smoking room, with a strong smell of smoke.I felt very uncomfortable, but had to sit down cooperatively. "It is said that you were just fired by Lawyer Fang?" the female police officer, who was sitting upright, asked me seriously. "I'm just an intern," I said.

"Please answer my question directly, yes or no?" "Yes." I said. "what reason?" "Maybe he thinks I'm not the best." "Didn't anything concrete happen?" "No." "Do you hold a grudge for this?" "Of course not," I said. "What time did you come into his office in the afternoon?" "It's just after five o'clock." "What are you going to do?" "Retrieve the laptop I left in his office." "Have you met anyone else?" "No." "There are your fingerprints on the tissues in the wastebasket, how do you explain that?"

"The laptop was not used for a long time, and it was covered with dust. I wiped it with a paper towel before putting it in the computer bag. Then I left a note on the desk for Lawyer Fang and my phone number. When I went downstairs , I also met Lawyer Fang near the parking lot, and we had a chat." "What are you talking about?" "A few homely words." "What's homely?" She was very displeased. She clenched her fists unexpectedly and slammed the table hard. If I hadn't been prepared, I would have been startled by the bang.The Public Security Bureau has always been known for its methods of inducing confessions, but unexpectedly, there are also disguised ways to extract confessions.She picked up the pen again and continued: "The specific content? Don't say you forgot."

I told the content of the conversation with lawyer Fang exactly.But before I met Lawyer Fang, because the situation was unknown, I was not going to rush to confess the pair of LV sneakers hidden under the coffee table.The so-called body is not afraid of the oblique shadow, the world has its own innocence.I have been studying law for nearly four years and have read countless cases. I have long been familiar with this. And lawyer Fang has taught me more than once: prudence is the basic quality that a lawyer must possess.I have a hunch that this matter may not be as simple as I imagined.Why did Luo Diudu hide under the desk, and who was it that made Lawyer Fang go downstairs and wait in the parking lot?

The female police officer had nothing to say, and the conversation was deadlocked.She threw me a few sheets of paper and asked me to write down all the ins and outs of going to the law firm in the afternoon.I asked her, "Can I go home after I finish writing?" But she could not answer my question openly, but said: "Write down every detail, think it through carefully, don't miss a little bit, it will be good for you and solve the case." I sat down at the desk, and I was only halfway through the description when I saw Lawyer Liu rushing in, beckoning to me and saying, "Ma Zhuo, Lawyer Fang is awake, it's all right, we can go home."

"No sequelae?" I asked him. "No, but it's really dangerous." Lawyer Liu pulled me aside and said to me softly, "The thing that was thrown into Lawyer Fang's water glass was a certain kind of chemical substance, which was very toxic. The mild symptoms were just like Lawyer Fang's. Dizziness, thirst, the nerve center is no longer under the control of the brain, and the limbs are limp and weak. And if the poisoner is not a veteran, or Lawyer Fang is too lucky, it is said that just adding one more milligram is enough to kill the person." "It's fine." My hanging heart finally fell.

"Lawyer Fang asked me to apologize to you. He knows that this matter has nothing to do with you." Lawyer Liu said, "I just need to work hard for you. He wants to see you." "Now?" I was surprised. "Now." Lawyer Liu said. I nodded. We went out together and saw Xiao Zhe, who was sitting at the end of the empty corridor, holding his head and making painful gestures.I approached him, and the door of the room next to him was opened, and an old man poked his head out, pointed at Xiao Zhe and said to me: "Come out? Take this man away, you're going crazy!" I used Looking at him with puzzled eyes, he said: "He is yelling here, the public security bureau is arresting people, breaking the law, and illegally imprisoning them. If he keeps shouting, I think he will be arrested too. So I put Pull him here, look at him, tell him to stop talking nonsense." This blind man!I quickly thanked the old man and dragged Xiao Zhe outside the police station before letting go. "Cooperating with the police investigation is a citizen's duty!" I said to him, "Stop making trouble." "Oh." He rubbed his head and said, "But it's good that you're fine anyway. Leave your phone number here. Uncle Anan called twice. I was talking nonsense. I don't know if I'm wearing clothes or not." "Tell him that Yan Shushu is broken in love," I said, "I have to stay with her for a while." Xiao Zhe pointed to his ears, thinking that he had heard wrongly. I said: "If you don't help me, no one will help me, or you can tell him that we went to a night movie to reassure him." He blinked his eyes and asked me in a distrustful tone: "Ma Zhuo, do you often lie like this?" I didn't want to take him with me, but Lawyer Liu had already driven the car up from the garage and honked at me not far away.I had no choice but to pull him up: "At least I didn't lie to you, I still have to go to the hospital, just tell me, will you come with me?" He got in the car before me.
