First-Class Lawyer - Chapter 132

[Chapter 130 Eves (three)]

Qiao Kai is in proportional mode, so the screen projected by the smartphone occupies most of the living room.

When the sound and picture appeared, they seemed to be pulled into the scene of that year, watching a scene of an afternoon decades ago from the perspective of the photographer.

Joe was stunned for a moment, his expression trance and emotion for a moment.

He was watching on a small screen last night, and his attention was on the heads of several people, so he didn’t think much of it. At this moment, the most restored mode is turned on, and all of a sudden, I have the illusion of returning to my childhood, and there is an indescribable feeling in my heart.

The manor building in the image is on the other side of the living room, just like the real thing.

Although only the first floor and the lower edge of the second floor windows are in the mirror, it can still be felt that the complete manor should be exquisite and stylish.

In front of the building is a flower stand set up on the lush grass, shaded by tall and prosperous fruit trees.

In the shade of the trees are high tables, where a sumptuous afternoon tea is placed. The tables and chairs are arranged in a well-proportioned manner, generally forming a circle. A group of well-dressed people enjoy afternoon tea while chatting and laughing. There are both men and women. At first glance, the atmosphere is not bad, because a few hearty laughter can be heard.

Near the camera, that is, Yan Suizhi and the others are sitting next to the sofa. There is a neatly trimmed hedge and a swing chair. It can be seen that the person filming is leaning on the swing.

“This is—” Joe reached out to introduce the location, but got stuck.

“The Manson’s old manor.” Someone took his words.

“Ah… Yes, the old manor of the Manson family.” Qiao turned her head subconsciously, only to realize that the person who answered the call was Yan Suizhi.

“Do you know Dean?” Joe was a little surprised.

Various reports about the Manson family occasionally include several of their mansions in the accompanying pictures. This old manor is an exception, which hardly appears in any reports. Just because this manor will hold a party from time to time, the Manson family is very strict.

Unless it is a guest invited by the Manson family, no one really knows this place.

“Have you been?” Joe asked.

Yan Suizhi shook his head: “Just know.”

There was half of the milk left in his glass, but he didn’t drink any more. Instead, he held the glass loosely with both hands and put it on his knees. His upper body leaned against the back of the chair, looking elegant and relaxed, his eyes fell a little farther, and swept over the guests under the shade of the tree, his face was very light.

Qiao had never struggled to survive in law school, so Gu Yan, Ke Jin, and Laura knew Yan Suizhi’s temperament as well. But he could still feel that Yan Suizhi’s mood wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t that good either.

At least not as good as when you just woke up.

After the camera stabilized, a female voice sounded in the living room: “Irma, May 22, 1227, the location is still Manson Manor, I was tricked by my father to attend this damn boring party, pretending to be two and a half hours. Fake lady, the newly bought high-heeled shoes don’t fit as well as they were when they were tried on. Both heels are bleeding. The pain is so painful that I have to keep smiling. I doubt that during the half hour just now, I might have laughed like I was going to eat people…”

Qiao Gan laughed twice, taking advantage of the female voice to explain: “Ms. Eunice loved to take this kind of dynamic diary when she was young, because she insisted that after she was 170 years old, she would want to relive the past. Who doesn’t When you’re being silly. You bear with it.”

Eunice’s voice didn’t sound as crisp as it does now. More than 20 years ago, she had just been involved in family affairs for a few years, and her tone was still lively from the school, and the endings of some complaining sentences were a bit sweet.

“Taking advantage of the intermission just now, I escaped, and I’m here—” The camera turned around, and I could see a large garden and two swing ropes nearby, “I’ll be lazy here on the swing for a while, I hope the garden Don’t get close to me, including my foolish brother.”

Joe: “…”

He regretted that he had fast-forwarded yesterday and didn’t review the beginning.

Ms. Eunice really didn’t say good things about him.

The camera cuts back to the guest, and focuses on a man sitting in the shade, a slightly younger Devore Everth. He rested his elbows relaxed on the arm of the chair, wiping his glasses without hesitation.

On his left, a round-faced man gestured and said something to him.

“Starting from the far right, this is Mr. Bevin, the manufacturer of medical cabins. He has been trying to convince us to replace all the medical cabins in Ivy Hospital today. However, the batch of medical cabins that were replaced last year was ordered from him.” The camera was fixed on the round-faced man’s face for a few seconds, and Eunice whispered mockingly: “Dad must be saying: fuck you, stop dreaming. But Mr. Bevin’s harvest is okay, after all, just now The Manson brothers ordered a batch of the latest medical cabins with him on the spot, and placed them in various residences, saying that they were for their father to take care of them anytime and anywhere. The rest were given to the guests present.”

Joe took advantage of the camera not to turn. , and then Eunice’s voice said: “Didn’t I say before that the old fox brought some medical, medicine and mining people to Manson? This Bell is one of them. I have the impression that he came to this party about three times. He The medical cabin is upgraded every year, and the Manson Brothers also order a batch on the spot every year to give to the old Manson and all the guests. In fact, the number is not much, at most 40 sets. One thing is that Eunice discovered later, Through some channels, she saw the shipping order at that time. The quantity filled in the bill is no problem, 40 sets, but the delivery vehicle is always silver snake. You know, the silver snake, the cargo capacity is 200 There is no problem with a medical cabin. These businessmen are all very careful and don’t use more suitable vehicles, isn’t it a bit strange?”

He hesitated for a while, and then said: “Ivy’s medical cabin is basically used. In his house, the old fox seemed to have some unpleasantness with him for a year. I heard the old fox mentioned that he would terminate the order of his house and replace it with another one, but there was no logical reason. It didn’t take long after that… Maybe two or three months? He just… died. After that, the medical cabin of the Ivy Hospital was changed.”

“The cause of death?” Gu Yan asked.

Twenty-seven or eight years ago, he was only four or five years old. The alliance kills so many people every year, and there are not a few businessmen. He was not impressed by these old things.

“Overdose, a painkiller,” Joe said. ”

Painkiller?”

“He’s been suffering from severe neuralgia.”

During their conversation, Eunice had turned the camera several times, mentioning one by one. There were a few guests who were all acquaintances.

“…Mr. Cliff, no accident, he dragged my dad and Mr. Ken Manson to give a speech. ‘Without the two of you, it would take me at least sixty years to get hold of this shuttle production line. , and those A-class transportation tracks’, Barabara, this is the opening remark every year, and I will recite it.”

“Ah – sitting next to him is his son, who is a little older than me, what is his name? I forgot, let’s call him little Cliff. I don’t like his eyes very much, he looked at the back of his dad’s head, like he was saying ‘When can you old immortals abdicate to become sages’, he looked at my dad’s eyes The eyes are even more disgusting. I think he doesn’t like any deep-rooted family, maybe it’s jealousy? In another 20 years, he’ll be able to inherit the family business, and I’ll pay a moment of silence for myself in 20 years. It’s really nice to deal with this kind of person. It’s a ghost.”

Yan Suizhi’s expression was still light, but the tip of his eyebrows was raised.

The so-called Little Cliff is now living in the Hotel Henkin. More than 20 years have passed, and indeed the generations have changed, and the position of the head of the family has changed.

“He doesn’t like the family?” Yan Suizhi said smoothly.

Joe said: “I have limited dealings with him, Eunice is more, according to her. After talking with him for a long time, I can feel from some of his tone, eyes and some detailed movements that he does not like family , especially don’t like my house.”

Yan Suizhi nodded.

“What’s wrong?”

“It’s nothing.” Yan Suizhi said lightly, “I think it’s a little interesting when I think of how he played poker before.”

“What kind of? Very tugging and rude?” Joe mumbled.

“Spades and hearts are thrown in the distance at will, the squares are placed in front of them, and the grass and flowers are playing with them.” Yan Suizhi has a good memory and can even reproduce Cliff’s expressions and small movements in retrospect. .

“So what?” Qiao looked at him blankly, and poked Gu Yan again as if asking for help, “Help me, I feel like I’m back when I took elective courses back then.”

Young Master Qiao’s mind flooded into choosing law school. The class was like this. Most of the class was thinking about it under Yan Suizhi’s prompting, but he didn’t know anything, so he could only poke Ke Jin left and Gu Yan right to ask for a clearer explanation.

Gu Yan was also poked into a habit, “Remember the poker suit theory? Grass and flowers represent status, power and prestige, referring to families like yours or Manson, and square pieces represent money and resources.”

“Oh oh oh oh ——” Master Qiao nodded again and again like a cock crowing, and said, “I understand what you mean.” The

one placed in front of him is always the one closest to his self-consciousness. The square piece represents Cliff himself.

And his play with grass and flowers shows that he has no respect for those families. Even with a hint of condescending disdain and disobedience, perhaps because they feel that they are eating the legacy of their ancestors, it does not mean how strong their own abilities are.

Qiao: “But he has a very good relationship with the Manson brothers. He is not the kind of guy who draws forces together. We played together when we were young.”

Yan Suizhi: “So I think it’s a bit interesting.”

Eunice

introduced them in turn. Many people, Joe also picked and added some.

“This bearded Mr. Zhou is a professor at the Medical School of Bartley University. He is very good. At that time, many famous doctors and researchers at Ivy Hospital were his students. The Manson brothers would chat with him for a long time every time, about Old Manson’s previous illnesses, including future prevention and recuperation, etc. This is also… The old fox suddenly stopped using his students. In the next three or four years, the doctors and researchers related to him in the Ivy Hospital were arrested. Transferred, fired, fired. Not long after that, this professor suddenly got an alarm clock.”

This is a brain-degenerative dementia that is difficult to treat in the league today, and the elderly are a high-risk group. People with this disease will forget most things, only remember some habits at regular intervals, repeat them every day, and are extremely sensitive to the moment, and they will lose control of their emotions within a few minutes.

“This Ms. Luce

is very powerful, and she should be the youngest among these people. According to Eunice, she was not yet 40 years old when she was filming, she was lively and straightforward, and was very likable. Several men were chasing her, but she ignored none of them. In the second year, she married an ordinary teacher willfully. She was unknown, and no one remembered her surname. It is said that she gave birth to a teacher. Daughter? She holds two medicine mine lines in her hand. At that time, a batch of common pharmaceutical raw materials in the market came from her medicine mine. Later, she got into a big trouble. It was said that some medicines on the market were found to have problems. , which caused many people who took the medicine to become mentally ill. It happened that the sleeping aids commonly used by these business leaders were also among them. In the end, they traced the source and gave the pot to Yaomine. But there are many interests involved, and the news is very deadly. In the end, the two drug mine lines were quietly scrapped, and the lady went to prison and committed suicide the following year.”

Qiao thought for a while and added: “It’s a bit of a coincidence that the person I just mentioned died of an overdose. Mr. Bell, the painkillers he took are also in this batch of problematic drugs.”

…

Eunice’s dynamic diary is not short, and it took four sessions. They spent more than half an hour and finally saw the end.

Joe focused on seven or eight people, and each person’s affairs seem to be nothing on their own, which is not bizarre. But it does make a lot of sense to get together—these people who were acquainted with Devore Everth and introduced to the Mansons all died hastily.

“Before each of them had an accident, the old fox had more or less expressions and actions.” Joe said, “The more things I check, the more proof that his reactions are not coincidences. In fact, there are more than that. There are several other people at this party. , it’s just that when the video was recorded, it was not in the shade of a tree, and Eunice said that some went to the bathroom, and a couple came late because of something—” During the

conversation, Eunice’s camera suddenly heard a tatter. The footsteps sounded like something was running over.

Joshua stopped abruptly. A little ghost’s voice came into the camera, from far to near, “Sister! You! Again! Steal

! Shoot! Didn’t you say that you are not allowed to shoot indiscriminately here!”

, warned the kid to be quiet, and then the camera turned around and said helplessly: “God, the fool is coming for me!”

However, the timing of her turn was not very good, and she happened to be hit by the kid who was launched, and the camera turned around for a while, Then, with a thud, it fell to the ground.

“Grass? And this part? Why didn’t I see this part yesterday…” Joe touched her nose awkwardly, “I’m really impressed by this scene, I didn’t stop the car and hit her, her knees bent, and her legs were bent. I fell to my knees without losing my balance. Fortunately, there was a hedge blocking it, so I wasn’t seen by those people… But she probably never lost her face like that. She was very angry. Later, I was beaten up by Ms. Eunice. It ‘s miserable.”

“Sister, I’m sorry.” The

miniature blond young master put his face in front of the camera, looking petrified, panicked to help Eunice, and because Eunice was posing to slap him, he turned his head and ran away , did not run a few steps and bit the bullet and came back.

Eunice picked up the camera and forgot to turn it off in a hurry. He just clipped his neckline, limped through the hedge and the garden, and found a sink to wash off the ashes from his palms and knees.

After washing it, she sneered and turned around to catch the silly brother and beat him.

“It’s nothing, I’ve closed it.” Master Qiao covered his face, intending to turn off the black history.

As a result, just as he was about to put away the screen, in the camera, Eunice rushed out of a row of hedges and almost hit a person.

It was a beautiful lady. She was startled by Eunice. In order to avoid collision, she subconsciously took two steps back, and was supported by a tall man who was following behind her, holding her shoulders.

Judging from the direction they were walking, it should have come from the main entrance of Manson Manor. It was the couple that Qiao called “the couple who are late for something.”

On the screen, Eunice’s voice sounded, and she said a little embarrassedly, “I’m sorry, I walked too quickly, I didn’t see you turning around.”

The lady who was almost hit waved her hand and smiled, and put the scattered A strand of hair was pulled behind her ears, her beautiful eyes were bent, and even a small mole at the corner of her eye became gentle and vivid: “Then I should also say sorry, the garden is very beautiful, and I have been looking around.

” Her tall man, Sven and handsome, nodded towards Eunice and greeted him.

Eunice gave way to the two of them, and hurriedly chased after his younger brother who was wandering between the hedges, but before taking two steps, he turned his head and glanced again.

The couple appeared in the camera just now, but this time it was from the back. They walked a little further, and stopped after a while.

The lady went around behind her husband, nudged his back, and said, “Go ahead, so if I lose my mind again, it’s not someone else who is unlucky.” The

man was very tall, and he turned his head without moving. Looking at her, she agreed with an “um”, “There is no one behind you, you should sit on the ground after the collision, and of course no one else is unlucky.”

Madam: “…”

Eunice laughed off-camera.

Gu Yan on the sofa looked at the couple’s face, frowning slowly.

Eunice finally realized that the video was still being filmed and raised her hand to close the camera.

The holographic screen in the living room suddenly darkened, and the light and shadow disappeared.

Gu Yan’s brows still haven’t loosened, and some thoughts are about to pop up in his mind.

Immediately afterwards, Yan Suizhi, who was beside him, suddenly opened his mouth and said, “Joe, do me a favor.”

Gu Yan turned to look at him, and saw that his eyes were still on the place where the couple stood just now, a little lost in thought . .

“Huh?” Master Qiao was stunned for a moment, “Okay, what are you busy with?”

“Replay the paragraph just now.” Yan Suizhi said.

“Of course.” Qiao recalled the video and said while adjusting the progress: “What’s wrong with this part? Is there any detail I didn’t notice?”

Yan Suizhi didn’t answer for a while, until the holographic image was quickly pulled by Qiao. Moving forward, Eunice’s background voice was pulled high and sharp, and he came back to his senses, and replied calmly and casually: “Oh, no details. I just want to see those two people again, let Gu Yan also See you.” The

image has been adjusted to the end between the words, and the camera shakes again.

It was Eunice’s brother who was chasing into the hedge.

Then came the corner again, there was a soft exclamation, and the sound of hurried footsteps…

The couple was very close to the camera, and also very close to the three people sitting on the sofa.

Maybe only one step away.

They stood there and bent their eyes in Yan Suizhi’s direction.
