Urban Romance: The 7° Distance

Due to the emergence of new evidence, the presiding judge announced the adjournment, and the case had a new development. Attorney Wang stood up excitedly. Xiao Yao was brought back by the judicial police. He patted Xiao Yao on the shoulder and said, "What you said just now is wonderful. , such important information..."

Lawyer Wang was so excited that he almost complained about Xiao Yao's concealment of his marriage proposal, but no matter what, they won this game. Can't stop grinning, seeing him so excited, Xiao Yao also smiled in agreement, as for the truth of the proposal, outsiders don't need to know.

He turned his head and saw that Shu Qingfeng had already picked up the briefcase and left with Yuan Taixiang and others. He was a little nostalgic, but he didn't expect that the reunion after a long absence would be in court, and it was really exciting to fight each other like this. Looking at Shu Qingfeng's tall and straight back, Xiao Yao suddenly realized that he didn't need to always compromise and tolerate this guy's badness. Sometimes tit for tat might solve the problem better. Since he cared so much about him, why not separate because of disappointment? Like it and hold it firmly in your hand?

Yuan Taixiang walked out of the courtroom quickly, got into the car and uttered a bad word, looked at his watch and said angrily: "The witnesses and material evidence are all there, so we can just settle the case. Why did it take so long? It's a waste of time to have to appear in court for the second instance!" "

"This is how you go to court." Shu Qingfeng took off his glasses, wiped them and said calmly, "Mr. Yuan, you forgot that Zhang Jianming's case dragged on longer than this time three years ago."

"Then what should we do? As you saw just now, the situation is obviously in favor of the defendant. He pretended to be affectionate and deceived everyone's sympathy. If this continues, the prosecutor will easily point the finger at me."

"Your side?" Shu Qingfeng stopped wiping his glasses, looked at Yuan Taixiang, and asked, "Mr. Yuan, to be honest, does He Lichun's death have anything to do with you?"

It's not that there is, but it's that he sent someone to kill that woman. He has been enduring He Lichun's domineering all the time because of the shares in her hands. After he got it, he began to secretly arrange to get rid of her. After the conversation between He Lichun and Xiao Yao was monitored that night, he thought of a plan to kill her with a knife. Unfortunately, due to the rush of time, the arrangement was not very thorough, otherwise Xiao Yao's crime would not be charged at all. Cannot be washed.

However, Yuan Taixiang will not tell Shu Qingfeng about these things. Although they cooperated very happily and Shu Qingfeng also helped in the transfer of shares, he is a lawyer after all with a special status, so it is good that he can use it. As for trust, is it right? needs.

In order to avoid Shu Qingfeng's doubts, Yuan Taixiang denied it outright, saying: "Of course not, my sister-in-law's shares are already in my hands, why should I kill her? But after she dies, I am one of the beneficiaries, and it is easy to be victimized." Suspicious, just like Zhang Jianming's case."

"That's right," Shu Qingfeng was too lazy to expose his high-sounding lies, and agreed with a smile, "You are a law-abiding businessman."

"So can this matter be resolved as soon as possible so that the man can plead guilty? Recently, the company is not stable, and the case is dragging on like this, which is not good for me." After Yuan Taixiang finished speaking, he thought for a while and added: "If necessary It’s okay to use some extreme means, as long as those witnesses communicate more, they will say anything, it’s just a small amount of money, you can say as much as you need.”

When Shu Qingfeng pressed Xiao Yao just now, Yuan Taixiang was still worried that Xiao Yao would tell He Lichun's nonsense before she died. Now it seems that the man doesn't understand the truth, so let him be an unjust ghost. There are dead ghosts every day, and he is not missing.

Shu Qingfeng raised his eyebrows in disdain, is this implying that in order to convict Xiao Yao, he can buy witnesses to give false testimony?If He Lichun's death had nothing to do with Yuan Taixiang, why did he do this?

"No problem, I also think the case has dragged on for a long time," Shu Qingfeng said calmly after listening to Yuan Taixiang's advice, "It's better to settle everything quickly."

Thinking of Xiao Yao's confession just now, Shu Qingfeng felt his blood boiling, he didn't want to wait any longer, even if he took risks, he wanted to get Yuan Taixiang's criminal evidence as soon as possible.

Shu Qingfeng is now in and out of Yuan Taixiang's company every day, and has found out that many Yuan Taixiang colluded with government officials and tampered with in project bidding and construction, not to mention those crimes of bribery and major safety accidents. Judging from the intelligence, I am afraid that Yuan Taixiang is also related to several murder cases, not including the two murder cases of Yuan Taian and He Lichun, so now as long as he has the exact evidence, he can convict Yuan Taixiang and make Xiao Yao rehabilitate. free.

Since Xiao Yao was imprisoned, he has had a hard time every day, worried about Xiao Yao's physical and mental condition, and had to deal with Yuan Taixiang, originally thought that Xiao Yao would tell the truth in court, so he endured it these days No, I didn't expect that one-headed bird idiot to think that telling the truth would hurt himself, so he didn't say anything.Although he was happy with Xiao Yao's protection of him, he was also very worried. This kind of silent tactics did not benefit Xiao Yao at all. He did not want Xiao Yao to lose his favorite job for him.

Shu Qingfeng contacted his eldest brother that night and told him his thoughts. After hearing it, Shu Qingyang said, "I know that He Lichun's case is related to Yuan Taixiang, but I can't find any criminal evidence related to him. There are government officials behind him." Back up, if you don't do well, he will bite you back. 』

Whether it's the crime of bribery, the crime of safety accident, or Yuan Taian's car accident, they are all interrelated and intricate, and there is no way to be sure. It is impossible for the police to prosecute and convict Yuan Taixiang immediately. Shu Qingfeng knows that his elder brother has long been eyeing Yuan Taixiang. I want to use him to get rid of the moths in the police and the government, but they can catch big fish with a long line, but I can't last that long.

"Brother, I've thought about it, why don't you go directly to Yuan Taixiang's study to get evidence." Shu Qingfeng proposed his own plan: "But his study needs fingerprint authentication to open it, and I need your help."

Shu Qingyang vetoed his idea, "No, if you want to use criminal means to search for information, I will do it myself, so why use you?" 』

The police handle cases in a way that is always between black and white, so the jokes about the police and gangsters' family are not exaggerated. It's just that handling cases in a gray area is far from real crime. What's more, Shu Qingfeng is a lawyer, not a policeman. He has no experience in this area. If something happens, his future may be ruined. As the eldest brother, he cannot let his younger brother take such a risk.

Shu Qingfeng understood his thoughts and said, "Brother, if you don't help me, then I will have to fight alone."

"You blackmail me? 』

Shu Qingyang's voice cooled down. Even through the radio waves, Shu Qingfeng could feel his stern aura. He didn't dare to joke anymore, sighed, and said, "I'm just telling the truth. If you think about it, it only takes a few minutes. If it succeeds, we all benefit, brother, you have sat in your current position for long enough, it’s time to get promoted.”

"You don't need to state your interests with me. Shu Qingyang didn't care whether he was promoted or not, Shu Qingfeng's move was useless to him, and said: "You have to think carefully about what consequences you will face if you fail, and whether that man is worth it for you." 』

"Do you think your younger brother was impulsive when he was seventeen or eighteen years old? If I hadn't thought it through, I wouldn't have come to you. I have the computer password, but taking fingerprints requires special props, and I can't get them right away. Brother, give me the props, and I will take care of the rest myself.”

『Shu Qingfeng, the trick of playing hard to get was used up ten years ago. 』

Hearing Shu Qingyang's sneer, Shu Qingfeng was very helpless. It turned out that his image was so bad in the eyes of his family. He was telling the truth, but no one believed it. Fortunately, Shu Qingyang didn't tease him anymore. I'm good at it. I'll discuss it with him and get back to you. 』

The second elder brother, Shu Qingliu, is a soldier. He used to take part in special missions in the army. Collecting information is indeed his forte. With the help of experts, the risk index of the operation will be reduced. Shu Qingfeng is of course happy, and hurriedly said: "Then hurry up Don't be too late, you guys come to my house tonight and discuss how to do it together."

The seemingly joking request could not hide the anxiety inside, Shu Qingyang snorted, the power of love is really great, the younger brother who has always been cold and selfish will have a day of worrying, this is a reward for the world, he thought gloatingly.

Not long after the call ended, Shu Qingfeng received a call from Shu Qingliu. Shu Qingliu upholds the style of a soldier who is cautious in his words and deeds. He doesn't like to chat with people, let alone inquire about other people's private affairs. The only person other than his father who didn't know about Shu Qingfeng's relationship with Xiao Yao, even now, he didn't ask much. After listening to Shu Qingfeng's thoughts, he asked him to report Yuan Taixiang's action schedule for the past few days, saying that the fingerprints were taken for him. He would send someone to do it, Shu Qingfeng knew the specific operation and he would not tell his second brother even if he asked about it, so he just thanked him.

Shu Qingliu acted resolutely, and informed Shu Qingfeng that the fingerprints were available the next day. He knew that Shu Qingfeng was in a hurry, so he asked Shu Qingyang to go to his house that night. He handed over the red diamond stud-shaped miniature communicator and the pen drive implanted with the virus, explained the operation method carefully, and finally said: "I will help you remotely operate the monitoring system of Yongan Company. , you have to listen to my arrangements.”

"Yes, sir!"

Shu Qingliu's serious tone made Shu Qingfeng also nervous. In order to ease the atmosphere, he put the communicator on his left ear and looked in the mirror. The red diamond earrings shone beautifully under the lamp. He was very satisfied with this The inconspicuous trinkets, said: "It's very trendy, second brother, your army is really advancing with the times."

The joke didn't resonate, Shu Qingliu said seriously: "Action is not a joke, you have to be careful."

"Don't worry, I will never implicate my brothers."

The two elder brothers didn't speak, but they all stamped "it's best" on their faces. Obviously, in their hearts, Shu Qingfeng's guarantee had no credibility at all.

The next morning, Shu Qingfeng found an excuse to talk about the case and went to visit Yuan Taixiang. During lunch, everyone left together. After sitting in Yuan Taixiang's car, he suddenly said: "Oops, I forgot a contract in the office. I'll get it right away."

Shu Qingfeng got out of the car, but was stopped by Yuan Taixiang, and asked his assistant to call the secretary to deal with it, saying, "Let the subordinates do this kind of trivial matter."

Seeing him being so cautious, Shu Qingfeng sweared in his heart, but smiled and said, "That's right."

But the phone that the assistant dialed was always busy. He looked at Yuan Taixiang helplessly and said, "I don't know what these people are talking about. It takes so long to talk."

Shu Qingfeng knew that it was the second brother's manipulation, so he said first: "Everyone is busy with work, I'd better get it myself. The contract involves some confidentiality regulations, so it's not good for others to see it."

After finishing speaking, without giving Yuan Taixiang a chance to refuse, he turned around and walked into the building quickly.

Yuan Taixiang's office is on the seventeenth floor. He likes to be quiet. The office is far away from other departments. It is an independent room. A magnetic card is required to open the door. In order to show his trust in Shu Qingfeng, Yuan Taixiang configured it for him. After he opened the door , walked to the door connected to the lounge inside, that was Yuan Taixiang's study room, usually only he could go in, and all important documents and materials were placed in it.

Shu Qingfeng first pressed the password, then passed the test with his fingerprints, and the door of the study opened smoothly, but the next step was the most troublesome, time was limited, he had to retrieve the data from the computer in the shortest possible time.

Shu Qingfeng turned on the computer and inserted the flash drive. The virus unlocked the program and entered the database smoothly. There were many files in it. He hesitated for a while and simply selected all the files. Soon the computer program and Shu Qingyang's Automatically connected together, he whistled triumphantly when he saw the data began to be transmitted rapidly.

There was a soft ringing in his ear, which was a warning from his second brother who was helping him remotely control the monitor: "Yuan Taixiang's assistant is back, how many minutes is left?" 』

Shu Qingfeng glanced at the computer, the data was only halfway through, and it would take about 2 minutes. He asked, "Two points, what floor is he on now?"

"The elevator is on the third floor now, let me stop it for you, but at most 40 seconds, you can get it done as soon as possible!" 』

Based on Shu Qingliu's experience in carrying out special missions in the army, he should have a way to make the operating elevator control center malfunction, but even so, it won't last long. The data moved rapidly on the computer screen, and soon Shu Qingliu was heard saying: "The elevator started to run normally, and he will be on the seventeenth floor soon." 』

"Soon……"

After Shu Qingfeng finished speaking, a successful message was displayed on the screen. Shu Qingyang turned off the connection on the opposite side and said, "You leave immediately!" 』

Shu Qingfeng closed the program as quickly as possible, erasing the traces of entry, and when he heard Shu Qingliu tell him that the assistant had entered the corridor and was walking here, sweat broke out on his forehead, he turned off the computer and rushed out. In the study room, the door had just been closed, and before his hand left the handle, he heard the assistant ask behind him: "What are you doing?"

Shu Qingfeng was in the midst of such a near-miss crisis, he collected himself, turned his head with a calm expression, and said, "When I was taking the file just now, I heard a sound in the study, I wanted to take a look, but the door was closed."

"Fingerprint authentication is required to open the door, please do not touch it without authorization, so as not to trigger the surveillance alarm system."

The assistant looked at Shu Qingfeng with doubts in his eyes, and always felt that his movements at the door were weird. When Shu Qingfeng went to get the data on the table, he walked to the study door and looked at it. The door was locked, and he pushed it open. Pushing the door open, I didn't find anything wrong, so I was relieved.

Shu Qingfeng took the documents and was about to leave when his arm was grabbed suddenly. Seeing the assistant blocking him, he was startled, thinking that there was something wrong, but luckily the assistant just asked, "When did you get your ears pierced?"

Shu Qingfeng heaved a sigh of relief. For the convenience of his movements, he pushed his sideburns behind his ears. He was too nervous just now and didn't have time to comb them. He touched the red earring communicator on his earlobe, smiled and said, "I called a long time ago, But it’s not suitable for court, so you can only wear it on a daily basis.”

"It's pretty, and it's nice to be young."

The assistant is almost middle-aged, and he doesn't pay attention to grooming like young people. After saying a word, he let go of his hand and walked out. Shu Qingfeng's heart was still in his throat, thinking that fortunately, the second brother had the foresight to give him this kind of help. Fancy communicators, otherwise you will be suspected.

Yuan Taixiang sat in the car, dissatisfied with their late return, and when Shu Qingfeng got into the car, he asked displeasedly, "Why is it taking so long?"

Shu Qingfeng knew that he would ask, so he replied without changing his face: "There was a problem in the elevator, it took me a while to go upstairs."

"Yes, yes, I also stopped suddenly when I was taking the elevator. I wanted to call the guards, but it recovered automatically."

An assistant at the side agreed, Yuan Taixiang believed it, and said with a frown, "Get someone to check it out, so there shouldn't be any major problems."

The assistant made phone calls as Yuan Taixiang said, and Shu Qingfeng declined Yuan Taixiang's invitation to have lunch together, and only asked him to take him back to the office.

When they arrived at the building, Shu Qingfeng got out of the car and watched them go away. He turned and walked in, laughing as he walked, at first he laughed lightly, and gradually the laughter grew louder. The excitement he had never felt before made him feel extremely happy.The excitement he felt after the tension could not be described in words. He finally understood why his second brother never tires of engaging in dangerous jobs. It turns out that enjoying the danger brings such a strong sense of success.

"Is it funny? 』

Shu Qingliu's inquiry came from the intercom. Although the task was successfully completed, he was worried that Yuan Taixiang would suspect Shu Qingfeng, so he never cut off the call. Hearing his inquiry, Shu Qingfeng stopped laughing and asked seriously: " Brother, what do you think is the success rate if I join the army now and do your previous job?"

After a while of silence, Shu Qingliu said, "European luxury cruise for half a month, for three people. 』

People who don't know how to joke are really boring, Shu Qingfeng sighed, but of course he wouldn't break his promise to the second brother, and readily agreed: "I will invite you when this matter is over."

Shu Qingliu turned off the intercom, and Shu Qingfeng called his eldest brother again. Shu Qingyang was asking his subordinates to confirm the received documents and told him that the documents were all right. Now it only takes a little time to sort out Yuan Taixiang's criminal information. If all goes well, It will all be done in the evening.

"You did a good job this time," Shu Qingyang said with a bit of brisk notes in his usual steady voice, "Yuan Taixiang's family property is even more unclean than we imagined. If everything is investigated, it will be enough for him to spend decades in prison." up. 』

It was rare to be praised by the eldest brother, Shu Qingfeng smiled and said: "My work ends here, and it will be up to the eldest brother next."

Laughter came from the other end of the phone, with a murderous smile, Shu Qingfeng guessed that the eldest brother had a plan in mind, he attached so much importance to Yuan Taixiang's case, and he probably wanted to use this to suppress his opponents in the police station, no accidents If so, the elder brother's position will be promoted again, which is a good thing, but it has nothing to do with him, Shu Qingyang didn't say much, after telling him to be careful, he hung up the phone.

Shu Qingfeng closed the line, went back to his office, turned on the computer, and anonymously sent an email to Attorney Wang, claiming that he was a trainee lawyer. He found a few doubts during the audit, and said that he might be able to help him. Attorney Wang is not too stupid , Shu Qingfeng thought that after reading his email, he would know where to focus his inquiries next time he went to court.

After the file was sent out, Shu Qingfeng was really relieved. He took off the communicator and played it back and forth between his fingers. He was about to face the second round of court trial. There must be a beautiful battle. He will wait and see!
