I'm just a trainee police officer. I don't really want to solve the case.

The counselor said that in the second semester of his sophomore year, someone sponsored Hu Weiqiang and covered his tuition and living expenses, so that he had no worries about food and clothing and could study well.

The teachers were all happy for him because Hu was a good student and would have a bright future if he studied well.

He did not disappoint his teachers' expectations and became a famous criminal defense lawyer in Jingzhong City. The school has always been proud of cultivating such a student.

His photo has always been placed on the school's honor roll, becoming a role model for younger students.

It’s just that the counselor didn’t know who sponsored Hu Weiqiang. The sponsor used a pseudonym at the time, so perhaps Hu Weiqiang himself knew.

He received financial aid in the second semester of his freshman year, and the case occurred during the winter break of his freshman year, when no one was sponsoring him.

It is not impossible for a desperate student to take a risk and do something, if the timing is just right.

Hu Weiqiang has been feeling weird these past few days. It feels like a pair of eyes are staring at him wherever he goes.

But every time he stopped to check, he found nothing.

He is 44 years old this year, has a successful career, and is still unmarried. He is the bachelor in many people's eyes and the object of envy for many people.

Only he himself knows that the glory is only superficial and there are some things he can never get rid of.

For example, his background.

For example, the wrong things you have done in the past.

Being born in a poor family is not a terrible thing. What is terrible are those poor relatives and poor villagers who always want to suck your blood. As long as you show them a little kindness, they will want to open a dyeing factory in your house.

He asked himself that he didn't owe them anything, but others didn't think so. Even if he had drunk a sip of water from their house when he was a child, they felt that they had done you a favor. Now that you are doing well, they hope you can repay them.

Otherwise you would be ungrateful.

The higher you climb, the less peace you will have.

God knows how much effort he put in to move his parents, siblings, and other relatives to another city, making them city dwellers, and warning them not to hang out with those village people and not to brag outside about how great a son they have.

Otherwise he would stop supporting them.

As for whether the villagers would point at his spine and curse him, that was not something he needed to consider.

There are many things that give him a headache, such as tonight's dinner.

He doesn't drink. Everyone in his circle knows that he doesn't drink, but they don't know that he used to drink.

But he has a problem. When he drinks, he will talk nonsense and reveal the deepest secrets in his heart.

After suffering a loss once, he never dared to drink again, and would avoid drinking parties whenever possible.

But he couldn't refuse the drinking party tonight.

Zhao Zhixiang was his client and also his benefactor.

It was the help given to him when he was in the most difficult time that enabled him to successfully complete college and become a practicing lawyer.

He originally thought he had met a good person, but later he realized that there is no free lunch in this world, all luck comes with a price tag, and sooner or later you have to pay for your luck.

People cannot do wrong things. If they do one wrong thing, they will have to pay for it with countless things.

Standing outside the door of Building 2 of Taoyuan Villa, he felt like he was being watched again. He looked around but didn't see anyone. Maybe he had been too nervous recently.

After calming down, he rang the doorbell.

Time flies, and three days have passed in the blink of an eye.

A lot happened in these three days.

Lin Xuejiao is dead.

That day, Su Xiaoxiao met Lin Xuejiao. Before she could say a few words to her, when she heard Su Xiaoxiao talking about what happened that year, she became very excited and opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something. She only heard the two words "retribution".

Maybe because she was too excited, Lin Xuejiao began to have difficulty breathing. The doctor from the hospital rushed over and sent her away after seeing her situation.

She had intended to go again the next day, but was delayed because she was too busy.

When she called Xiaotong on the third day to ask about Lin Xuejiao's situation, Xiaotong told her that Lin Xuejiao was dead.

Lin Xuejiao was already relying on oxygen to stay alive. That night, somehow she lost her oxygen tube, and when the nurses found her, she was already dead.

The body has been taken to the funeral home for cremation. It is unknown whether there was any problem with her death.

Qiu Mingzhang had been called in to take statements twice, asking about his whereabouts on the night Xue Pingyang was killed.

"I'm old and go to bed early. I went to bed before 10 o'clock that night. If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do." Qiu Mingzhang seemed helpless.

"Then do you know that your daughter was abused by Xue Pingyang?"

"I saw that she had injuries on her hands, but she told me not to do anything and told me to stay away from her. I am sorry for her. If it weren't for me, she wouldn't be living such a miserable life. She doesn't want to see me so I can only hide and come to see her secretly occasionally, but I dare not let her find out."

"Did you know your daughter was beaten so badly?"

"I don't know. If I knew, I would risk my life to seek justice for my daughter!" Qiu Mingzhang clenched his fists.

There were no flaws in Qiu Mingzhang's language or expressions. He lived alone in a very poor living environment, and there was no surveillance around him, so they could not prove that he was lying.

Someone hired a lawyer for Qiu Yan, and it turned out to be Hu Weiqiang. Everyone was quite surprised when he came to handle the formalities.

Su Xiaoxiao knew that Qiu Mingzhang had recognized Hu Weiqiang.

When she saw the mole between Hu Weiqiang's eyebrows, she finally understood what Qiu Mingzhang was looking at when they met that day.

At that time, she saw a group of people there, and the person surrounded in the middle was Hu Weiqiang.

Why did Hu Weiqiang become Qiu Yan's lawyer? Su Xiaoxiao found it very strange.

She checked the welfare home where Qiu Yan worked and found out that Qiu Yan also had a sponsor.

The lawyer was hired by the sponsor on behalf of Qiu Yan.

At that time, Qiu Yan's situation in the welfare home was not good. If no one had specifically sponsored her, it would have been a question whether she could grow up smoothly.

This sponsor was also anonymous, and Qiu Yan only knew his last name was Yu.

It’s really strange, are there so many kind people in this world?

Some people sponsor poor students, and some people sponsor the daughter of a murderer.

And Hu Weiqiang's behavior was also very strange.

Let’s not talk about whether Hu Weiqiang knew that Qiu Yan was Qiu Mingzhang’s daughter when he took the case, but he definitely knew it after reading the case files.

He must know that Qiu Mingzhang was the person who took the blame for him back then. After all, that case was very famous in Jingzhong City, and he was the person involved, so he must care more about the outcome of the case than anyone else.

I'm afraid he won't be able to truly feel at ease until the verdict takes effect and Qiu Mingzhang goes to prison.

For a person who has escaped punishment, it would be better to stay as far away from the people and events of that time as possible.

He had close contact with Qiu Mingzhang back then, what if he was recognized by someone?

So, why did he insist on taking this case?

Su Xiaoxiao felt that there was a lot of mystery before her eyes. Although she knew that Hu Weiqiang was the robber, she had no evidence to arrest him.

During these few days, she met with Qiu Mingzhang twice and tried to talk to him again, but his attitude was the same as before. No matter how she asked, he said he was not wronged.

In this respect, the father and daughter are really alike.

Just when Su Xiaoxiao was worried, afternoon tea was served in the office.

I don’t know what was wrong with Xiangnan, but he sent afternoon tea to their office for several days in a row, saying that he wanted to express his sympathy because he saw how hard they were working on the case.

On the first day, Su Xiaoxiao didn’t know it was sent by him. Later, when he sent her a WeChat message asking her if it tasted good, she realized it was sent by him.

However, she didn't tell anyone because it was troublesome to explain and she hated trouble the most.

Anyway, it's not for her alone, so just think of it as someone learning from Lei Feng, so as to avoid people misunderstanding that there is something going on between her and Xiangnan. These prodigal sons probably have too much money and don't know where to spend it.

Seeing the smiling face sent by Xiangnan on WeChat, Su Xiaoxiao suddenly thought that she could ask him, after all, he could better understand the thoughts of rich people.

"When you rich people have money but nowhere to spend it, don't you all like to do good deeds and support others?"

Xiangnan couldn't help laughing when he saw the message on his phone. Spider-Man was facing difficulties again.

"In fact, the richer the people are, the less likely they are to help others without reason. They do charity for a purpose."

"Then in what circumstances would you help someone? I mean someone you don't know."

“When it’s profitable.”

"Then tell me, what's the benefit of sponsoring a murderer's daughter?"

“Then there are many possibilities.”

"tell me the story."

"For example, if the murderer has not been caught, you can support his daughter so that he can help you do things."

"What if the murderer was caught?"

"Then you can also ask him to help you with things, for example, if there is someone in prison that I don't want to let out."

Xiangnan's words opened the door to a new world for Su Xiaoxiao and gave her a bold idea.
