First-Class Lawyer - Chapter 182

[Chapter 180 The Eve (2)]

Lyra star, evening.

Qiao Mo rubbed the smartphone on his finger and pushed open the door of the meeting room again, “Help me find Zhao Zemu again.” After

a whole day, the guards have become familiar with the eldest young master. Accident. They admired the young master’s perseverance in their hearts. Although they pouted and shook their heads, they still led Zhao Zemu into the meeting room.

If Yan Suizhi or Gu Yan were here, they would be surprised by Zhao Zemu’s change.

Zhao Zemu, who was on the beach of Yaba Island, occasionally looked at the coast in a trance, but most of the time he was chatting and laughing.

But now, his complexion is gray and haggard, his chin is full of cyan stubble, his hair has not been taken care of for a while, his sideburns are not above the tips of his ears, his bangs are drooping down, and his eyes are hidden in the shadows cast by the bangs.

For a whole day, every time Qiao saw him, he had the urge to find a pair of scissors to cut all his bangs. He always felt that the tip of his hair could pierce into Zhao Zemu’s eyes.

Disciplinary took people to him, said hello to Joe, and left the meeting room, closing the door for them.

As soon as the others left, the entire meeting room became quiet.

Zhao Zemu, as always, looked out the window without saying a word. I don’t know if it’s in a trance or just refusing to cooperate.

In the face of his cold treatment before, Qiao would always do both hard and soft, with a hard-hearted voice, using his extreme level of talkativeness to talk non-stop, trying to persuade him with a three-inch tongue, but in the end he would always be blocked by his appearance. Not getting angry, then slammed out the door.

But this time was different, this time Joe hadn’t spoken since he entered the door.

He leaned back in the chair, fiddled with his two fingers with his eyes down, and was silent for a long time.

A bird hula flew by outside the window, Zhao Zemu blinked his eyes gently, and for a moment, he almost had an illusion that Qiao seemed to have given up.

Zhao Zemu’s gaze fell out of the window for a long time, but he finally took it back and looked at Qiao instead.

“See what I’m doing?” Joe stopped fiddling with his fingers and looked up at him.

“…You don’t seem to be going to ask me any more questions.” Apart from the greetings and greetings we just met in the morning, this was the first sentence Zhao Zemu said.

After staying in the detention center for a long time, his voice became hoarse, and it sounded like he was full of tiredness and worries.

Joe thought for a moment, then nodded with his lips pouted, “Almost, it doesn’t help after grinding you all day. You know me, the thing that bothers me the most is to go over and over again, it’s boring, really.”

He spread out He held his hand and compared it to Zhao Zemu, “I figured it out just now. If you really don’t want to talk about it, even if you’re rubbed off by me, you may be able to tell a bunch of lies. Strongly twisted melons are not sweet. I still understand.”

Zhao Zemu asked hesitantly, “Then why are you still here?”

Qiao glanced at the clock on the wall and said, “I’ll go back to Decama by the shuttle at 9 o’clock at night, you know, take I don’t feel relieved that Ke Jin has stayed elsewhere for too long.”

“Well, I know.”

Qiao added, “I walked out of the interview room before I entered the detention center in the morning, and I persuaded you intermittently for nearly 8 hours. I was very tired. I’m not too angry. But that’s as a stakeholder in the case. It’s more than two hours before I leave for the port. I’m going back to Decama this time, and I don’t know when I’ll have time to come to Lyra, so I’ll accompany me again You sit for a while. It has nothing to do with the case, just as a playmate…for many years.”

Zhao Zemu didn’t know what to think, his brows slightly wrinkled. This made him look complicated, as if he had something to say, and he seemed unable to say a word.

Qiao said again: “Don’t be too moved, the playmate has to add a qualifier – once. For the past few years, let’s not talk about the playmate, and all we talk about together are fake scenes and polite words, and now in this situation, the scene can’t be said. , I have nothing to talk about, I can only sit with you, literally.”

He said this very directly, but he didn’t know which nerve Zhao Zemu hit. After listening in silence, he suddenly laughed.

“What are you laughing at?”

“It’s nothing.” Zhao Zemu shook his head, “I just tried to think back, when did I become speechless.”

Qiao sneered and broke off a few half-truths He pointed his finger and said, “That’s been too long, it’s almost impossible to count. It seems that you had a horse race appointment alone in middle school, right? To be honest, there was nothing to talk about that time, and it was quite a hard afternoon. Going back After that, I thought to myself, I can’t find you alone in the future, it’s too embarrassing.”

Zhao Zemu raised his eyebrows.

When he made this expression, he faintly had his usual appearance again, “each other, I have never made a date with you again after that.”

Joe simply counted down his fingers for a few years, “After college, I I’ve been hanging out with Gu Yan and the others, but I’ll still invite you when I meet a party.”

“Is it a courtesy invitation?” Zhao Zemu poked.

“Yeah, courtesy.” Joe laughed, and then asked casually, “Who did you get close to at that time?”

“Manson.” Zhao Zemu paused for a while, and then added: “Brewer, Mi Luo…and George, the whole Manson family.”

Hearing the names of Brewer and Milo, Joe snorted politely, but didn’t stop on the topic too much, “Everyone can see that, I’m asking about friends, real friends.”

Zhao Zemu shook his head: “No, where are real friends.”

Qiao nodded and commented, “I guess it is, you guys are really unlucky. It feels really good to have a few real friends. It’s a pity not to experience it.”

Zhao Zemu said, “I know.”

After saying this, he suddenly fell into a long silence again, looking out the window and remembering something.

After a long, long time, Zhao Zemu suddenly whispered: “People are really strange…”

In his long-standing definition, only those who can tell the truth as they want can be regarded as friends. After all, there really wasn’t one before. But now he suddenly realized that starting from a certain sentence just now, the dialogue between him and Joe was no longer pretending to be fake, and it was all the truth at will. do not mind.

Suddenly, it will give people the illusion of “still friends”.

So people are really strange…

At five or six years old, you can fight and catch snakes for each other, and don’t care about yourself. It seems that it is enough to have one or two life-and-death friendships in a lifetime.

But by the time they were fifteen or sixteen years old, after only ten years of work, they had already drifted apart and parted ways. The names of each other gradually changed from “friends of life and death” to childhood, to childhood playmates, to polite old acquaintances, and it seems like this is the case for a lifetime.

However, now, Zhao Zemu is forty years old, young master Qiao and Manson are thirty-five or six years old, they have been with the snake for more than 20 years, one is just out of the hospital and is recuperating, the other is running around for a huge case, and the other is in the detention center. It was a world apart, but I still vaguely found the feeling of being a friend.

Zhao Zemu didn’t speak for a long time.

Qiao looked at him for a long time, and suddenly said, “You are shaking, I can see it.”

Zhao Zemu raised his eyes and admitted after a moment of silence: “…Yes, I am shaking.”

“Aren’t you dizzy when shaking?” Qiao The young master asked, “What’s there to hesitate? If it was me, I’d already be talking.”

“It’s already in this field, who cares if you don’t talk about it?” Zhao Zemu said, “It doesn’t make any sense anymore. It ‘s gone.”

“Indecisive nonsense!” Qiao said bluntly, “You used to grab snakes and twist your head so neatly, why are you so ink-stained now?!”

Zhao Zemu shook his head, “You don’t know, the roots of Brewer and Milo Manson are too deep, and they have involved too many people. Every single one of them can be shaken by stomping their feet. After arranging the network for nearly 30 years, I can’t subvert it with just a few words.”

Qiao: “Oh.”

Zhao Zemu: “…”

“It has been intertwined for 30 years, I know.” Qiao said, “I not only I know, it’s very clear. Who died at their hands, who was in danger, who was united with them, who was trying to verify, you may not know this, but I know it very well. Not only did I Clear, there is evidence.”

“Do you have evidence?” Zhao Zemu finally turned his face.

“Yeah, it’s quite a lot.”

“How much is a lot?” Zhao Zemu pondered for a moment, but couldn’t help reminding him, “They’re not so easy to be beaten, and one or two things can’t bring them down.”

“It’s okay . .” Qiao said modestly, “It’s enough for them to stay in prison until the end of the world, or eat a gun that was destroyed by a cannon.”

Zhao Zemu: “…”

“Tell me, this level of evidence is enough to pry you open. That mouth?” Master Qiao asked jokingly.

Before Zhao Zemu could speak, Qiao called up his smartphone screen again and found a screenshot sent to him by Gu Yan, “If the evidence is not enough, then add this.”

Zhao Zemu saw various Data, what “surface signal source” and “essential signal source” confuses him, “What is this?”

“Manson’s minions have been sending threatening emails to our people.” Joe said, “You know this Once something of this nature is investigated, what will be the consequences?”

Zhao Zemu: “I know.”

“Just know, what you mean by this picture is that although your family sacrificed so much for Manson, they have no guilt for harassing your family, and even sent a threatening email to interfere with several smart phones. , you have to put on the shell of your family, for fear that your family will not die completely.”

Zhao Zemu’s face darkened, and Qiao took another thing and put it on the table, “If these are not enough, then add this.”
