I said, "Are you sure?"
Tan Wan said: "That person said so."
I asked, "Did he tell you who he was?"
Tan Wan said: "It's impossible for him to tell us his identity. In short, right now, no matter what this person's background is, we can only go and see him." Seeing that I was still hesitating, Tan Wan could not help but ask: "Little Wei, what are you so at peace with? It's just an adventure, you won't lose anything, and we can get a chance, if you really don't want to take the risk, unless you can find it in a short time. "Descend."
Shi Jie also looked at me. They didn't know where my worries lay, so I asked. After a few seconds, he finally followed Tan Wan and the others and gave it a try.
Thus, on the morning of the second day, Tan Wan, I, along with Shi Jie, went to the city's largest prison. We went there relatively early, and arrived around nine o'clock.
When the time gradually reached 10 o'clock, no one came out but I was getting more and more anxious, the ominous premonition in my heart was getting stronger and stronger. Tan Wan's face was pale white, she thought I was cold, so she walked over and grabbed my hand, rubbed it and asked: "Is it still cold?"
I subconsciously replied, "I'm not cold."
She said, "But your hands are shaking."
Only then did I realize that some parts of my body and my reaction had already exposed my emotions.
Just as we were speaking again, a creaking sound came from the entrance of the prison. Tan Wan and I immediately looked over and saw a prison guard walking towards us. In that instant, my heart almost reached my throat, until he arrived in front of us and cautiously sized us up. I asked, "Who are you?"
Tan Wan seemed to have reacted and immediately replied: "We are? Guo Ping's family. "
Hearing Tan Wan's words, the police officer did not ask any further, but only spoke out in a low voice: "Follow me."
We were about to follow the police through the gate of the prison, but who knew that he would suddenly stop and look back at us. "Only one of you can go in," he said.
Tan Wan and I looked at each other, and Tan Wan immediately pushed me away. I reacted and said, "I'll go."
The guard whispered, "Follow me." Then I followed him in.
I had never been in a place like this before, and I followed the policeman deeper and deeper. As he led me to the prison's visiting hall, I caught sight of the man sitting in the viewing window. Guo Ping, his mental state did not look much different from last time. Other than the clothes he was wearing and his usual clothes being different, it seemed like he was living inside it rather well.
After I walked over, I picked up the microphone hanging on the wall and placed it by my ear. I had been waiting for this for a long time. Guo Ping then picked up the microphone and said: Miss Yu, long time no see.
I said, "Long time no see."
He sneered, "Thanks to you, I've become like this."
Me and? Guo Ping had never been a friend, so he couldn't be considered as one now. In the future, he would be even less capable. At most, he would just be considered half a partner and take what each of them needed.
I didn't mind the sting in his voice. It was just the two of us, so I took the time to say what I wanted to say.
"I've hired the best lawyer for you. If you want to walk out of here alive, the only thing you can do is listen to my arrangements. I believe that you didn't come to find me today to talk about how you felt during your stay in the prison."
Guo Ping snorted and said: "As expected of On Syouwa's daughter. to push me to the point where I have to go. "
I smiled and said, "? "Sir, please don't say that. I believe that you are only temporary. If you really want to go out, are you afraid that you won't be able to?"
Guo Ping didn't plan to go around in circles, and directly said: "How do you plan to save me?"
I honestly told him, "I can assure you that you will be safe and sound. But your wife, there is nothing I can do about it."
When he heard this, his face changed. "Is this your ability? You need to be clear that if it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have reached this step. If you can't get me and my wife out safely, then there's even less of a need to talk about what happened afterwards. "
I sneered and reminded him, "What? "Sir, you have no other choice, until now, I believe that the reason you came to find me was because you were forced into a corner. I must correct you, however, because if I did not go to find you, you would not have ended up in such a sorry state, but only if your wife did not accept any bribes from others." I looked at him and smiled. "Even if I didn't look for you, do you think this kind of thing wouldn't have happened? This is only a matter of time, so I'm giving you this chance now, not because you're unlucky. It just so happens that you are lucky. "
He said, "So I have to thank you?"
"You can think of it that way," I said.
When we got to this point, about time, a guard came in and asked us how much longer it would be.
Guo Ping immediately gestured to him that he still needed five more minutes.
The guard glanced at us, but didn't say anything. He backed out of the room.
Once again, I was left alone with? After Guo Ping, what should I do? Guo Ping said: "I will never force anyone, if you want me to help you, no matter what price you have to pay, I will never let you out safe and sound, if you do not need my help and want to stay here forever, I will not disturb you, and just pretend that I never came to find you."
He finally lost his arrogance because he knew very clearly that other than me who could save him, there wouldn't be anyone else who would help him. Once a person is alive, they wouldn't want to die.
Guo Ping finally made a compromise and said, "If you can save my wife —"
"If I can rescue your wife in passing, I'd rather do so. Regardless of our relationship, as long as you are …" For the sake of your father, if he is able to do this, I will definitely help you do it. "
At this point, his expression was almost pleading. "In any case, it doesn't matter if you don't care about me. I want you to put my wife first."
I said, "I'll definitely do it for you if there's a chance like this. But the most important thing right now is for you to entrust your case to the lawyer I've found for you."
He said, "No problem, I'll apply."
I said, "Okay."
Five minutes later. The guard came in and didn't ask if we were alright. Instead, he urged me to leave and sit in the visiting hall. Guo Ping, after looking away from my body, was led in again by the prison guard.
After exiting the prison, Shi Jie and Tan Wan have already been waiting there for a long time. They immediately walked towards me, and Tan Wan asked if I had seen them. What happened to Guo Ping?
I said, "What? Guo Ping has already agreed to give us the authority of the mission. "
After Tan Wan heard this, she relaxed and said: "Since the authority is given to Shi Jie, then can Shi Jie go as a lawyer to meet him? Guo Ping and the rest. "
Shi Jie asked: "Did he tell you about this case?"
"It's too inconvenient to talk about," I said.
When Shi Jie heard it, he could only nod his head and say, "Let's go back first.
Tan Wan also nodded her head, and we quickly got into the car, which then drove away from the prison.
For the next few days, we waited for news from the police. Shi Jie was hurt. At first, the police refused. During numerous investigations, they rejected Shi Jie's request to see them using the reason of refusing anyone's visit.
In the end, with the excuse of protecting the defendant, Shi Jie applied for a meeting with the court, and through the court's intervention, the police finally replied after a whole week.
Shi Jie went to see him? I sat on the sofa and waited for news from Shi Jie. After waiting for more than two hours, Shi Jie still had not called, so I picked up the magazine on the table and flippantly flipped through a few pages. After that, the phone that I had placed on the table at the ready rang, I extended my hand out to pick it up, but when my gaze landed on the screen of the phone, I realized that the call was not from Shi Jie, but On Syouwa.
My heart was slightly startled, I hesitated for a moment, then pressed the answer button. After the call connected, On Syouwa called me and asked me how was the discussion on the Treasure Lotus project going.
I didn't tell On Syouwa that I had returned from the y city, as he had always thought that I would always stay there to negotiate with the Treasure Lotus.
After a slight hesitation, I said, "Dad, I haven't received a reply from the other side."
On Syouwa immediately asked loudly: What did you say? "You haven't answered?"
I said, "Yes."
After waiting for so many days, it was probably On Syouwa's limit. But before he could receive any news from there, this was undoubtedly an insult, so he angrily asked me: "How did you negotiate? Wasn't that the cooperation that was offered? Have you offended anyone from the Treasure Lotus?! "
I wanted to explain something, but On Syouwa simply said: "Forget it, sending you over is just a cripple. I'll personally call him and ask what's going on."
Then, On Syouwa hung up the phone, I was afraid that Yu Jin would tell On Syouwa about me not being in the y city. I called him right away, but he still didn't call me. I can't get in touch with him.
After making a few calls, I could only give Chen Su a call. Chen Su accepted it very quickly, and when he received my call, he asked: "Is there anything going on in Miss Yu?"
I said, "Is your boss with you?"
But On Syouwa shouldn't be able to contact him, it should be Chen Su. I thought for a moment, then quickly asked: "Assistant Chen, did you hear the call that Yu's called?"
Chen Su said: "Did Mr. Yu call over?"
I said, "Yes."
Chen Su said: "Boss is picking up the call right now."
I suddenly recalled that On Syouwa is not familiar with him, even if Yu Jin were to personally answer his phone call, he might not even be able to recognize his voice.
My heart skipped a beat, I was afraid that Yu Jin would mess with me again, so I calmed myself down and said: "Don't hang up first, when we hang up, give me back to Yu Jin."
Chen Xiaolian hesitated for a moment before he added, "I have an urgent matter to attend to!"
After a few minutes, Chen Su said into the phone, "The boss has finished talking with Mr. Yu." After he finished speaking, there was a small sound of shattering at the other end of the phone. Probably Chen Su had given him the phone, but Yu Jin's voice came from the other end.
His voice was cold as he gave his reply.
I thought for a bit. I already had a request for him, so I couldn't help but be polite with him, so I said, "Hello, Mr. Yu."
He didn't seem to want to listen to my flattery, so he asked directly, "Is there anything I can help you with?"
I said, "Did On Syouwa give you a call?"
When he heard the sound of paper flipping, he did not answer immediately. Instead, he lowered his voice. After a few seconds, he said, "Yes, is there a problem?"
"You … Did you not tell him that I left Y city? " I asked carefully.
"I'm not good at lying," he said.
I said, "What do you mean?"
Yu Jin said: "I am just telling him the truth, that you are not in the y city, what about it? Miss Yu, did I say something wrong? "
I clenched my fists tightly. It took a lot of effort before I managed to suppress the anger in my heart. I sneered, "It's nothing. As long as you're happy, it's fine. Just pretend that I didn't make this call."
The next second, just as I was about to hang up, Yu Jin spoke on the other end of the phone: "I suggest that you return to Y city in a few days." At this point, he added, "Of course, it's your freedom to not listen."
Following that, another series of beeps came from the other end of the phone. I looked at my phone in confusion, trying to figure out what Yu Jin meant by that, but I didn't have the time to think it over. Shi Jie called me, and asked me where I am.
I told him I was in the apartment and he heard me on the phone, so he said, "I came to see you."
After we hung up the phone, I was still a little unsure if Yu Jin had told On Syouwa about me not being in Y City, but I think, if he really did tell On Syouwa, On Syouwa would have immediately called me, and he wouldn't stay quiet for long, and I believe that Yu Jin wouldn't do that, no matter how terrible our relationship is right now, he should know that his actions were definitely putting me to death.
After thinking about it, I felt a bit more relieved. Not long later, Shi Jie came to my apartment and told me, "What?" He knew all about his parents' case, and he gave me a piece of paper with four names on it. The father of Luo, the other is? Luo's mother, plus? Luo's aunt, and the one who was suspected of bribery? Guo Ping's classmate.
I didn't understand why Shi Jie would give me this piece of paper, so I looked at him in confusion.
After Shi Jie took the piece of paper from me, he used the brush to place it. Luo's aunt and? Guo Ping's name was drew in a red circle, and he said: "I found a very abnormal relationship. His aunt Peng Shuanghe? Guo Ping's classmate, Chai Jitai was their lover.
I frowned and asked in surprise, "What did you say?"
Shi Jie didn't say anything, he took out another photo from his other bag and handed it over to me. Aunt Luo, have you seen his before? Luo's mother, her aunt, apart from Bibi? Luo's mother was younger, and her face was almost the same as her sister's.
Peng Shuang and a man in the photo were walking around the baby goods arm in arm. That man was labeled, it was Chai Jitai.
Shi Jie said: "Peng Shuang and Chai Jitai were once lovers, but when the male partner was twenty-four years old, the male partner, for some unknown reason, married another person, and the two of them had to part for two years. Peng Shuang met Chai Jitai again when he was thirty years old, and they have a deep relationship ever since, and this relationship has been maintained for more than a decade. The house once again passed from Peng's hands to his sister Peng Qiang's hands.
I don't know why Shi Jie wanted to talk to me about this matter. Even if Chai Jitai and Peng Shuang are lovers, what does this have to do with this case?
The next second, Shi Jie spoke again: "One of these four people are lying."
I looked at Shi Jie, puzzled.
Shi Jie said. A picture of his parents, Peng Shuang and Chai Jitai was posted on the wall one by one, saying, "There is a big problem here, did I see it today? Guo Ping, including his wife Peng Qiang? Guo Ping's wife is very timid, she doesn't seem like a greedy person at all. I asked her about the entire process of collecting bribes, and throughout that process, she kept emphasizing it to me. She did take the house. She hid it through her sister? Guo Ping took the house from Chai Jitai's hands, and I asked her if she had talked to Chai Jitai over the phone when she was taking over the mansion. Peng Qiang made sense of the situation, but when I asked her about the contents of the call, she told me that she did not remember.
Hearing this, I felt as if I had found a clue, but I was afraid that I had guessed wrongly, so I asked directly, "So what do you want to say?"
Shi Jie directly said, "Peng Qiang is lying."
One of my responses to his words was to deny it, to say that anyone was lying, but not that? Luo's mother. Peng Qiang? Guo Ping and Peng Qiang are husband and wife, moreover, the relationship between the two has always been very good. When Guo Ping is here, he would not even care about his own safety. Even if I did not take his wife Peng Qiang as the first priority, what about Peng Qiang? Guo Ping had treated her so deeply, but he shouldn't have killed her.
If Peng Qiang was lying, this was completely an absurd hypothesis.
But I didn't say my thoughts, and continued to look at Shi Jie.
Shi Jie said: "At first, even I didn't dare to suspect anything, because Peng Shuang is not an ignorant woman. Guo Ping being related to corruption is definitely a disaster, and it's not hard to see that their relationship is very good, because during our conversation, Peng Qiang was trying her best to get rid of the problem. Guo Ping was completely ignored, so she wanted to harm? It was impossible for Guo Ping to do this, but it was precisely because of this that caused Peng Qiang to lie. She was not an ignorant woman, and he had even graduated from a famous university. With Guo Ping's life and death, he really accepted the bribe. And he was in no hurry to get rid of it, because she knew very well that if he did? Since Guo Ping was completely unaware of the situation and everything was unrelated to him, then when the case was decided, what would happen? Guo Ping had been imprisoned for a few years. Guo Ping was acquitted, and lost his position, and took … When Guo Ping cast his gaze outside, everything had fallen onto her. She did not let him put everything on the line, instead, he was anxious to place everything on himself. If this is the case, Little Wei, change positions and think about it.
After Shi Jie's analysis, I gradually felt that something was amiss. Regarding Shi Jie's description just now, it seemed like it was not normal. Mother Peng Qiang, we are completely prepared to die at any moment to face all these, and we are also anxious to wait for all of this.
This was not how a normal person thought. Normal people would think about how to live, but she was thinking about how to die. Was there something on her body that she couldn't let others know?
When Shi Jie saw my expression change, he knew that I had already come to the same conclusion as him.
Shi Jie stretched out his hand and took it directly. Guo Ping's photo was taken off the wall. Only the pictures of Peng Qiang, Peng Shuang and Chai Jitai were left on the wall.
Shi Jie's red pen landed on Peng Shuang's photo, and she even marked her picture with important words. She said: "At that time, I also saw Peng Shuang, although it was a short time, but everything was enough, we met and I only asked her a few questions, the first sentence, whether all of this was because her sister instructed her to take over the mansion. At that time, when Peng Shuang replied to me, she hesitated for a moment, and she even said 'yes' with a bit of guilt, but at that moment, I felt that she had lied. She seemed to be the most innocent person in this entire matter, and when I asked her this question, she could completely tell me everything that had happened during the conversation between the two sisters. Just like how I had asked Peng Qiang before, she did not answer my question, and did not even want to mention it. From this, it can be seen that the person who lied was not only Peng Qiang, but also Peng Shuang.
Shi Jie's brush finally landed on Chai Jitai again. He said: "Maybe we can find the answer on him. What Guo Ping said was the truth, and the other three people were all lying. "
I frowned. "Something must have happened between the three of them that no one else knew about."
Shi Jie nodded and said, "I have a bold guess. After all, she took everything into his own hands, and then pushed her little sister out of the way once again. After all, Peng Qiang was only one of the people in the process, and if the case was decided, it would only be a few years of punishment, or perhaps even a few months, no one could say for sure. "
As Shi Jie spoke till here, he paused for a moment before adding, "Of course, at the moment, I am only guessing like this. No one is really clear about the specifics."
I didn't think that there were actually so many hidden secrets, but to confirm what Shi Jie had said was true, it was necessary for one of the three of them to reveal the truth.
I asked Shi Jie, "Then what should we do now? "If what we said was true, but they didn't cooperate, we bystanders could only stand on the side and worry. They don't trust us, and since something is hidden, they definitely won't tell us."
Shi Jie said: "So what we should do now is to find a way to break through the three of them. Amongst the three of them, Peng Qiang's attitude is the most resolute, but I think she's the best to break through, because … The child is always the biggest weakness of existence. If I go down and chat with Peng Qiang, there might be hope. "
I frowned and said, "But? I don't know where he is now. "
I didn't expect that at such a crucial moment, I wouldn't be able to find a single person. After we left last time, we lost contact. Whether I called him or left a message for him on the Internet, it would always be like a phone call. The hole swallowed up all the messages I sent out, but he didn't respond at all.
Shi Jie said: "So your task now is to find it? To descend, and as soon as possible, this kind of thing cannot be delayed for too long. "
