First-Class Lawyer

In the morning, on the first floor of the Southern Cross Law Firm, Yan Suizhi and Gu Yan, who entered the door one after the other, met Miss Fitz in front of the stairs. She was holding two stacked cardboard boxes in her hand, higher than her body. Overhead, crumbling.

She was stepping up the stairs cautiously on stiletto heels, when suddenly she stretched out a hand from the side and took the box over.

Fitz lightened his hand, and before anyone saw it, he praised first: "My God, I finally got someone to help, thank you! Such a beautiful hand, I guess who it is..."

As a result, as soon as he finished speaking, he heard someone behind him turn his head and sneeze.

"Gu? Ruan?" Miss Fitz turned her head when she heard the sound, and saw Yan Suizhi and Gu Yan standing behind each wearing a mask, and Yan Suizhi sneezed a second time with his head tilted.

The Yanda professor who had sworn last night that he was in good health was slapped in the face as soon as he got up today, as if he had symptoms of a cold. Naturally, the reason goes without saying.

However, Miss Fitz looked surprised, which pot was not opened and which pot was lifted, "Why do you have a cold too well?"

Yan Suizhi spoke with a slight nasal voice, sounding lazy, "I don't know, maybe it's because the teaser cat was bitten last night."

Miss Fitz: "Really? Then you have to get an injection."

Attorney Gu's face was paralyzed in silence.

Yan Suizhi glanced at it from the corner of his eye, and said to Fitz with a half-smile: "Fake, just kidding, I just caught a cold accidentally."

A cool punch of peppermint for immediate results.

Lawyer Gu couldn't stand listening to this kind of nonsense, he raised the cardboard box in his hand, and asked Fitz, "Whose is it? Take it upstairs for you."

"The special courier received ten days ago was sent to Dean." Fitz said, "Maybe it is something that is used in some cases."

"Dean?" Yan Suizhi asked.

During this period of time, he didn't spend much time in the building of Southern Cross Law Firm. There were several lawyers who had only met once, and their names and people were not matched.

"The round-faced lawyer in Office No. 3." Fitz explained, "The teacher of the intern Miss Phyllida."

Yan Suizhi nodded, "He is rarely in the office."

When Fitz said that, Yan Suizhi remembered.Phyllida complained a few times now and then that Lawyer Dean was different from the other teachers.

When other lawyers appear in court or on business trips, they will bring interns with them from time to time, especially when the level of the middle and late stages of the internship is enough to deal with some things, they basically take them wherever they go.But Dean seldom takes her out, and all the things he entrusts to her can be done in the office.

This internship period is not too long so far, Yan Suizhi has already gone on business several times, and even handled cases independently.Although Locke and the others hadn't traveled long distances, they also ran to the nearby detention center court at least once.Only she, so far, has only gone to the court to file an application because of missing documents when she was sorting out the files.

The contrast is too obvious. This kind of young fresh graduates are easy to think too much, and even worry about gain and loss.

"Dean is very hardworking." Fitz said, "Gu knows him. He prefers controversial cases. He hopes to give himself more bargaining chips and gain popularity, so that it is relatively easier to obtain the qualification for a first-level lawyer. This is not true. , just picked up one this morning."

"What case?"

"Do you know about the Bobblehead case?" Fitz said, "A lot of people were discussing the one two months ago, but in recent days everyone's focus has been on genetic modification and infection, which temporarily overshadowed it, but it's still a Very hot case."

Two months ago, Yan Suizhi was still awake, so naturally he didn't know much about this case.But judging from Fitz's tone, this case seems to be very popular, so it's strange if you haven't heard of it.So he didn't ask much, just nodded at Fitz, pretending to be real.

Fitz pointed at a certain office above his head: "Actually, the lawyer I was looking for was Hobbs. The old guy had been hesitant before and didn't let go. Later, the first-level lawyer passed the preliminary review and was on the public list, so he was even more reluctant. I will pick it up. He went to the hospital this morning and said he had symptoms of early infection, which just happened to push the case to Dean."

"Has Hobbs been infected?" Gu Yan frowned.

Fitz said: "Yes, I received a call in the morning. He said he had a rash, but the nature has not been confirmed yet. Although I don't like him very much, I still hope he is negative."

……

After all, they each have their own affairs, so the three of them didn't talk much.

Yan Suizhi and Gu Yan helped Fitz carry the carton upstairs.But before he could stand on his feet, the senior affairs officer beckoned to Gu Yan from downstairs: "Gu? Please come down, there is a document that needs to be signed by the barristers. You were not here yesterday."

The cardboard box was delivered by Yan Suizhi to Office No. 3.

As expected, Attorney Dean went out to work as soon as he took over the case, and was not in the office.Miss Phyllida, an intern, was accepted on his behalf. Surprisingly, Locke was also in his office.

"My teacher is in the hospital, and told me to stay with Lawyer Dean for a few days." Locke said to Yan Suizhi with a bitter face, "When Lawyer Dean went out this morning, he gave us some case information—"

He pulled his hands together, "This--so much! I have never had access to such a thick document. And to be honest, I don't really want to touch this case."

Locke had a sad face and wanted to complain a few words, but when he saw the barrister coming out of the next office, he had no choice but to swallow the words back, "Uh... Let's talk later, I'll go back to work first."

Yan Suizhi waved his hand at him, stood by the handrail of the stairs and glanced down, waited for a while, but didn't see Gu Yan coming up, so he opened the door of the office.

He hung his coat and scarf on the hangers, and was about to sit down in the office chair when Gu Yan entered the door.

Generally speaking, Mr. Gu has very keen insight, can always notice the details that others do not pay attention to, and is very good at grasping the key points.

So, just as Yan Suizhi was about to say something to him, he glanced at the corner of the desk inadvertently, and then stopped.

Following his gaze, Yan Suizhi saw the pot of evergreen bamboo.

Before Gu Yan went on a business trip, the pot of evergreen bamboo was still full of vitality. It was green in color, tall and straight, and clusters of narrow leaves were fluffy and green, full of temperament.But now, it was only a day and a night, and it was slanted in various ways, unable to support the branches and leaves, bent over and drooping, as if it was about to die after a terrible move.

Gu Yan: "..."

Yan Sui's heart is not good.

He coughed against the corner of his lips, his eyes swept across his desktop, and he grabbed a glass that he could only use, intending to make an excuse to go to the "pantry" and abscond in fear of crime.

Gu Yan supported the desk with both hands, and carefully watched the tragic situation of Evergreen Bamboo. Finally, he was so hot that he looked away, raised his eyelids and said, "There are a lot of potted plants that have died in the Southern Cross, and this is the first one to die so quickly. back."

The implication - you are really talented.

With one hand in his pocket and the glass in the other, Yan Sui walked calmly towards the door, pretending not to hear.

"..."

As soon as he reached the door, there was a sudden scream from outside.

From the direction of the voice, it should be Office No. 3.Yan Suizhi didn't pretend to be innocent anymore, he exchanged a glance with Gu Yan, and said, "I'll go and have a look."

As a result, without saying a word, Gu Yan walked around the desk and followed up with strides, stretched out his hand and tugged Yan Suizhi's wrist, and said in a deep voice, "I'll go over."

The person who screamed was the intern Phyllida.

But not only her, even though Locke, who was in the room with her, didn't scream, his face was as white as paper.

On the desk in front of them, the cardboard box urgently sent to Lawyer Dean was open, and the spikes, blades, and a few sheets of absorbent paper inside were vaguely visible.On the paper were all kinds of abusive words that had been scribbled out by someone, one sentence after another, in a mess.Most importantly, the color of the strokes on the paper turned brownish red, like dried blood.

"What...is this a threat?" Fei Lida's voice was tense. It was the first time the little girl saw such a thing, she was totally unprepared, and looked like she was about to cry for a moment.

"Not really." Yan Suizhi said.

Threats are always about making demands, these two paper boxes are not, more like pure venting of dissatisfaction and intimidation.

It was not the first time for other people in the law firm to see this kind of thing.

Fitz and the others quickly gathered together, and after looking at the contents of the box, they understood clearly.The senior affairs officer was familiar with handling this kind of matter, a few jokes amused Phyllida and Locke, and someone quickly came up to pack the cartons.

Phyllida and Locke calmed down slowly, and finally realized that it was nothing but Dean's case.

"What case is the bobblehead?" Yan Suizhi muttered in his heart, finally becoming curious.

He lowered his eyes and searched on the smart phone.As soon as the keywords were entered, various case reports came out. Yan Suizhi directly picked the top report and glanced at it, only then did he know what kind of case it was...

Two months ago, an old man disappeared for no reason in a certain residential area on Redstone Planet. Two days later, he was found in an underground warehouse. He made it by himself, and when he was discovered, he was already in a stupid state, squatting in an iron cage, crying and shaking his head rhythmically.

So it was given such a nickname.

This case did not cause much discussion when it first happened. After all, the alliance is so big, there are so many planets, and there are countless things and information every day. This kind of case that happened in a certain corner can easily be submerged in the ocean.

But soon, the police found that the victim was far more than just one old man. They found a total of seven abandoned warehouses in remote locations on different planets, and there were nearly [-] old people in the same condition.

These old people almost all identified the suspects, which is a good thing, but there is one thing... the old people have mental problems.

Before the official court session, the various parts of the alliance have already been arguing about this case.The appearance of the three-hundred-year-old man is really moving, and the attitude of the suspect is disgusting, so it is self-evident which side the trend of the debate is leaning towards.Large-scale disputes often have to find a bearing point in the end, and this bearing point naturally falls on the attorney.

Yan Suizhi looked calm after reading a few reports.

However, one report mentioned some old cases that had caused controversy at the end.His eyes stayed on the interface of this article for the longest time, so that Gu Yan beside him glanced at his naked holographic screen, and happened to see a familiar case name among those old cases.

It was a case that Yan Suizhi fought when he was less than 30 years old. Gu Yan was very familiar with it, because he had spent a long time making an analysis report on this case, and then completely discarded it after the report was completed. ...

When they saw this case, the two had already returned to the office, and the door was automatically locked behind them with a click.Gu Yan's eyes moved from the holographic screen to Yan Suizhi's face.From his angle, he could only see Yan Suizhi's drooping eyelashes, but he couldn't see the emotion in the other's eyes.

Yan Suizhi's face was a little cold by the light of the holographic screen. He seemed to be in a trance. He didn't know what he would be thinking and what it would be when he saw the case that made him infamous and famous again after many years. Feeling.

After a while, Gu Yan saw his eyelashes move.

Yan Suizhi suddenly raised his eyes from the holographic screen, and smiled when he met Gu Yan's gaze, "Why are you peeking at my screen?"

The potted plants that raise dead people pretend to be deaf and dumb, but it is quite reasonable to label others.

"..." Lawyer Gu's lips moved, but he didn't answer.

Yan Suizhi raised the corner of his mouth, glanced down at the report, and then put away the holographic screen with a swipe of his finger, and asked Gu Yan suddenly: "I suddenly remembered that you seemed to have said that you once thought that you were not in line with my ideas? "
