Chapter 401 Maybe I’m just unlucky!
Jian Xiao looked at the three boys standing in a row in front of her as if they had cell phone signals, and she wanted to laugh for a moment.
To be honest, she is actually not much older than these male college students, but the expressions on their three faces are so serious that they look like college students who went to the countryside to exercise and were inspected by their leaders. .
Not only them, the junior students also behaved similarly when they saw her.
The persona Jian Xiao wanted to maintain was originally a "beautiful sister who invites people to eat", but in front of these guys, she was more like a "monster sister who can eat people".
This was really strange, she thought.
But in fact, if you change the perspective, it is easy to understand.
College students are actually a growing contradiction between society and school. On the one hand, they have not faded away from the youthfulness of their student days, but on the other hand, they have already half-stepped into adult society.
At this time, a sense of admiration will arise for those successful people and industry elites who are rushing into the workplace. They are looking forward to becoming such people, but at the same time, they are afraid of their vigorous and resolute acting style.
But this is actually a misunderstanding and illusion. They have to wait until they enter the workplace to understand - life is not the same thing as those glamorous business war movies.
When many students see those social workers working with laptops on the subway, they think wow, how cool they are, and they must become such elites in the future!
Only after I joined the company did I realize that the calmer the elites seemed on the surface, the harder they cursed in their hearts:
Your uncle’s company, you want me to do the work of 30,000 yuan for a salary of 3,000 yuan. ? Even if you take the subway, you have to make fucking forms. I am your second aunt’s third uncle and I will do it! The idiot opposite looked like a college student. Hey, I’m so envious
Before Su Chengyi officially joined Tenghua, he also had certain filters for such a major Internet company.
In the final analysis, I have watched too many dramas.
A week after joining the company, he had already seen the end of his career. To put it nicely, he was just an Internet migrant worker carrying cyber bricks.
And Jian Xiao is actually the same.
The reason why she studied law was because of an American TV series called "Lawyers". The dazzling lawyers talked about being handsome and attractive. The opening words of the film were thunderous:
If you have a good lawyer Defense attorney, then you have the best justice system.
It really deceived this girl (who was still a girl at the time) about her intention to apply for a volunteer. After all, she didn’t have that useless sense of justice, and her mentality was to have fun while she was alive.
Such a person is very suitable to be a lawyer, at least much more suitable than a rigid, facially paralyzed teenager with a sense of justice.
But some things can only be understood after entering the profession. In the judicial system of modern society, the role that lawyers can play cannot be said to be absent, but it is definitely not as exaggerated as in the drama.
To put it simply, the role of a lawyer is to educate clients about the law, clarify their claims, and strive for the best interests within the constraints of the law.
Jian Xiao, whose wish was to confuse right and wrong and tease the jury, naturally felt very bored and disappointed.
But she is good at disguise. Even if she thinks the person opposite is the most mentally retarded person in history, she can still keep smiling.
So before finding her next hobby, she could only work at a law firm.
Because of this, she still maintains the appearance of an elite in the industry, so her image is already deeply rooted in the hearts of the younger generations.
Compared to those ordinary senior elites, Jian Xiao is more memorable and more nervous.
Because she is very beautiful and flamboyant, if you go for an appraisal, it is estimated to be 100% Royal Sister.
She also has a bright appearance. Jian Xiao is not as good as Chen Jinzhi, but in the final analysis, it is because Chen Jinzhi is too good-looking. She is so beautiful that she does not look like a product of Nuwa.
Jian Xiao is beautiful in the human category. You can tell at a glance that she will be the popular senior in the school. At the same time, she also has a very special temperament. Generally speaking, she is aggressive and aggressive.
Although she always makes some borderless jokes, she makes people think that she is a very reliable sister.
This is also the reason why Su Chengyi chose to come to her, because in the final analysis, the questions he wanted to ask could only be asked to people he knew well.
Jian Xiao put her hand on the car door and smiled charmingly.
“Yeah, you want to bring a friend with you on a date with your senior sister?”
Su Chengyi coughed, and her cheap cousin immediately held the car door with a mournful face.
“Sister Xiaoxiao, are you so obsessed with sex?! I sent you so many messages and you didn’t even take them back. I always came here within five minutes of sending you a location! "
"Step aside."
There was a crack in Jian Xiao's perfect smile, and she made no secret of her dislike for her younger brother.
Su Chengyi wanted to laugh again for a moment. Sure enough, this is how siblings get along with each other all over the world.
"I've met the brother over there before. I haven't had time to ask, what's your name?"
Jian Xiao noticed Lin Tong hiding behind the two of them.
Lin Tong moved out with difficulty, lowering his eyes and not even daring to look at her.
"Hello, Sister Jian Xiao, yes, I met you once before at your return welcome party."
After saying these words, Lin Tong was almost broken. It was that party. It's his psychological shadow.
Su Chengyi took a step forward to block him behind him, and said sternly:
"Senior, thank you for coming over."
The corners of Jian Xiao's lips curled up playfully, but she did not answer. , just blinked.
As expected, this one is more interesting.
She likes to tease children, but the little nerds who dare not even look at her, or the athletes whose mental age is no more than twelve years old, are really boring.
"This is a business district. If it's convenient for you, can we find a place nearby to talk?"
Su Chengyi turned around and took a look. There were many places for afternoon tea nearby.
"Well, I won't go. I have classes in the afternoon."
Lin Tong was the first to raise his hand and apologize.
Su Chengyi nodded and raised his hand to help him stop a taxi.
Of course I won't keep him, because you can see how uncomfortable he is, and he probably really has lessons.
When Xu Yang was clamoring to introduce a girlfriend to Lin Tong, Su Chengyi had thought about whether his gentle and soft temperament would be suitable for a passionate and fiery sister.
Now it seems that this is no longer possible. He will just carry the taxi and run away overnight.
Lin Tong ran away, and Xu Yang shyly wanted to follow him, but was severely rejected by his cousin, who was a quarter of his blood relationship.
So in the end, only Su Chengyi and Jian Xiao were left in the mall where they had just eaten, and found a cafe to sit down.
"A glass of meteorite latte."
"Give me a glass of mulled wine Americano."
Then Jian Xiao swiped her card to treat, saying that it was her sister's right to pay.
Of course there will be many people in a cafe like this on a weekday afternoon. The two walked around in a circle before finding a relatively quiet corner to sit down.
Su Chengyi held the glass of meteorite latte, and the tense strings in his mind relaxed a little.
It's too much pressure to go out with someone like Jian Xiao, walking on the road like a female star attracting attention.
No, it’s not like he has never gone out with a real female star. Not only did she have to be wrapped up tightly like a rice dumpling, but she also had to choose an inaccessible place in the dead of night.
Jian Xiao stirred her glass of Americano, held her chin up and smiled.
"Tell me, what do you want to see me for?"
Su Chengyi was very grateful to her for not teasing him by talking about some random topics, but to get straight to the point and give him a solution.
He put the cup in his hand back on the tray. The sound of the ceramics hitting each other was clear, like someone tapping a wooden clapper in his head.
Jian Xiao kept the curve of her smile, waiting for his next words.
Actually, I wanted to say something to tease him. After all, it is fun. However.
This junior looks a little worried today, and it doesn’t look like he is in a common bad mood. , and seemed to have been troubled by something for a long time.
She couldn't help but feel a little curious.
Yes, not caring, just curious.
“Sister, if there was once a shocking serious case, but many years have passed, the criminal has escaped, and there is no progress in the case.
And you accidentally met the only survivor in the case "Sir, do you want to seek justice for her?"
Su Chengyi raised his eyes with clear eyes.
Before he spoke, Jian Xiao actually had a rough guess. He went to such great lengths to invite her out, so the question he wanted to ask must be related to something like this.
Her intentions are commendable, but it doesn't change her answer.
"No."
Jian Xiao answered simply, with a smile still hanging on her lips, as if he just asked "Will the coffee be too bitter?" question.
Su Chengyi's expression did not change, and he just nodded slightly. "Little brother, actually justice itself is a silly word. But if you want to say something, I can listen again."
Jian Xiao smiled and indicated that he could talk more.
So Su Chengyi continued:
"It was a murder case. The murderer killed the parents and the eldest son of a family of four, and set fire to the house afterwards.
Only the youngest daughter She escaped, but it was better to say that the criminal let her go for some reason. This led to her surviving, but she had major mental problems, but she was unable to accuse the murderer. Cooperate with the investigation.”
“The murderer’s identity is known, he belongs to a criminal gang, and he has a backer.”
"It can be learned from another victim who was more recent that the murderer has not stopped and has been carrying out new criminal activities in recent years."
As Su Chengyi said, he felt his heart go straight to his heart. sink.
Jian Xiao is right, such "justice" is indeed silly, like a fantasy.
But he just refused to give up.
"So, what is the reason that drives you to want to overturn that old case?"
After asking this question, Jian Xiao rarely smiled, as if she had entered Lawyer Jian's working mode.
“.”
Su Chengyi was silent for a while and shook his head.
"There is no special reason, I just feel that things are happening in front of me.
I have no reason to intervene, but I also have no reason to stand by and watch."
"Ha."
Jian Xiao laughed, she suddenly felt very interesting.
Whether it is the person in front of me or the old case that should have been buried in the dust.
“You just said that criminals have been participating in new criminal activities. Junior brother, do you know how many murderers who have been absconding for many years have been caught because of petty theft?
So your The idea was wrong from the beginning. Even if the old case was so shocking, the new case was so ordinary that the audience couldn't be interested at all.
But compared to the old cases many years ago, it is obvious that the new case can provide more valuable clues, and it is also the easiest way to bring the criminal to the surface. "
Su Chengyi thought for a moment and felt that it made sense. In this way, he had fallen into a vicious cycle of starting with something more serious.
"But——"< br>
Jian Xiao changed the subject.
“Mr. Detective Sherlock Formosus, judging from the information you just provided, it seems that you have been investigating alone for a long time? ”
"Yes."
Su Chengyi nodded.
Although I feel a little embarrassed to say it, he did spend a lot of time on this fantasy.
“The criminal has been active?”
“Yes.”
Su Cheng realized that he had entered the nursing home under the name "Xia Yongzhi" and threatened Xia Yu.
"So, have you ever thought that he has actually been targeting you for a long time?"
Jian Xiao leaned forward slightly, locked eyes and spoke in a low tone.
It sounded like he was telling a ghost story. He thought he could scare this passionate and righteous young boy.
Unexpectedly, the other party was so calm that he didn’t even blink.
"I've thought about it."
Su Chengyi still nodded.
He was not secretive when investigating this matter. Judging from Wu Shaobo's past crime style, it would be strange if he didn't notice himself.
Jian Xiao was slightly startled and continued:
"In that case, have you ever thought that a person like him would continue to do evil without any scruples as long as he is alive?< br>
You are showing that he is hiding it. What if he realizes that you are a threat and turns to attack you? "
"I know that he is aware of my existence. According to the methods he used to commit crimes, he may have already secretly observed and followed me. "
Su Chengyi looked indifferent.
"But I can also feel that he is very confident. He knows that I will not be able to produce any results in a short period of time.
He felt threatened and excited at the same time by my actions.
Senior Jian Xiao, can you understand?
A person like this does not commit crimes for money, nor does he even pursue the pleasure of killing. He just enjoys playing cat and mouse and watching his victims being tortured.
So he would keep the sister alive and let the new victim live until the day of rescue, because their mentally disturbed existence is a work of art to him.
So of course, he would also like to see other people running around trying to 'visit' his art. ”
Su Chengyi lowered his head and took a sip of coffee. The slightly bitter liquid slid down his throat, carrying a fragrant aroma.
Before hearing what he said, Jian Xiao had always characterized this incident as a whim after a young man's sense of justice exploded.
But after hearing this, she realized that she had thought too simply. The person in front of her had no flaws in her reasoning and logic, and even her intuition was frighteningly accurate.
Jian Xiao looked at him with his eyebrows lowered and his eyes lowered, and felt that he had the temperament of a serious private detective, and for a moment he laughed a little.
“So Mr. Sherlock Formosus, do you want me to provide legal aid?”
“Yes, although I am a law major, my academic ability and practical experience are both outstanding. Relatively weak.
I learned that my senior is also a criminal defense lawyer, so if I have any related questions in the future, I hope I can answer my questions here. "
Su Chengyi nodded slightly.
"I will pay for the consultation fee. "
Jian Xiao was amused by his serious tone and sighed softly.
"Compared to fighting wits and courage with the vicious criminal suspect, I am still more interested. I hope you will be a clear and stupid male college student. The most annoying thing is that there will be an early morning tomorrow. Isn't that good? ”
Su Chengyi also smiled. In fact, this was originally his wish.
In the beginning, he didn’t have that much ambition. Not only did he not want to fall in love, he didn’t even want to make money. But who knows how he got to where he is today?
He remembered that when he watched "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng", the male protagonist Lu Xiaofeng traveled all over the world and always encountered all kinds of troubles.
He said that the boss was not happy, but in the final analysis, he did not care about anything. At most, he just complained:
Maybe I was unlucky, so I ran into this trouble!
Su Cheng thought, but it was a pity that he didn't have a clear idea.
Think about it carefully, maybe this is a debuff from rebirth.
"Why don't you study hard and talk about love?"
Jian Xiao's persuasive tone suddenly changed:
"Go for a ride with your senior sister when you have free time, eh?"
It started again.
Su Chengyi shook his head helplessly.
“Ah, I understand. I don’t like Ferrari, but I like Bugatti.”
Jian Xiao smiled meaningfully.
Sure enough, after talking about the main business, she started rambling again.
Su Chengyi silently drank the coffee in the cup.
Her method might be quite effective if used on other people, but it's a pity that she used it on the wrong person.
Su Chengyi thought that he was a person who had to survive in Chen Jinzhi's thousand-layer routine every day, and he had long been immune to these.
Thinking of Chen Jinzhi, he couldn't help but lower his head and laugh.
We finally meet again.
