A series of questions emerged in Xiao Yiyun's mind. In fact, Xiao Yiyun was somewhat worried. If Tao Zhengkun really killed Deng Yu, a litigant here, he might have to deal with the aftermath.
"It's almost done." Tao Zhengkun didn't pay attention to Xiao Yiyun. Instead, he looked at the cold storage door and said to himself.
Hearing Tao Zhengkun's words, the bodyguard who came out of the cold storage shook his head and said, "Not yet. The temperature is not low enough."
Although the cold storage is not big, it has not been used for a long time. At this time, the power is turned on again. Although cold wind is blowing inside the cold storage, the overall temperature inside the cold storage has not dropped.
Tao Zhengkun smiled noncommittally and said, "Go in and see him." After saying this, Tao Zhengkun stepped into the cold storage. Xiao Yiyun and Tao Yiran followed.
In this hot season, it is still very comfortable to blow the air conditioner. However, the cold storage is a different matter. If it is a normal use and normal operation of the cold storage, people will only feel cool for a few seconds when they walk in. It's cool. But if it lasts more than a few seconds, it will feel very cold.
The temperature of the cold storage in normal use is inherently low. In addition, the stored goods are frozen, which will also emit low temperature. People will only feel cold after staying in it for a few seconds. They will definitely not feel comfortable.
Deng Yu was blindfolded and his hands were handcuffed in the cold storage facing the air outlet. Although the cold storage had just been started, the wind blowing from the air outlet was really cold. When Deng Yu was first brought in, he felt pretty good. .After a while, I was already shivering from the cold.
Tao Zhengkun stepped forward, pulled the cloth from Deng Yu's mouth, and said: "Deng Yu, I have something to ask you. If you answer me honestly, I will let you go. Otherwise, you will Slowly being frozen into a popsicle here."
"Who are you?" Deng Yu asked with a trembling voice. He didn't know whether he was scared or cold. However, he was still calm enough. He could tell from the footsteps that it was not a person who came in.
Deng Yu just took over a case today. It was about a real estate dispute. After the plaintiff presented a series of materials, Deng Yu felt that the case had a good chance of winning, so he accepted the entrustment. The client who entrusted him invited him to dinner in the evening. The facts of the case were not discussed, but the parties concerned were very attentive and drank a lot of wine.
Naturally, Deng Yu did not dare to drive after drinking. So he called a driver. He went downstairs and left the hotel. The driver was changed. It was said that the driver who came just now had something to do at home and had to go back and replace him. Deng Yu Yu didn't worry too much. After all, it wasn't the first time he called for a driver. Nothing happened.
But what Deng Yu didn't expect was that the replacement driver stopped the car after driving for a while and knocked Deng Yu unconscious. After that, Deng Yu felt a bump and moved around. Only then did he realize that he was tied up. Next, Deng Yu was taken into the cold storage.
"Who are we? You don't need to ask any more." Tao Zhengkun said calmly: "You just need to know that if we kill you, it will be no different than squeezing an ant to death. Now, you can tell me. You represent What happened to Shi Xinming’s case? Why did you accept Shi Xinming’s commission?”
"Shi Xinming paid the commission fee. I accepted his commission." Deng Yu said immediately: "Everyone, I am just a lawyer. What I earn is the commission fee for the cases I represent. No matter what grudges you have with Shi Xinming, it has nothing to do with me. "
"It seems that you are not sober enough." Tao Zhengkun said and waved to the bodyguards outside. Immediately, a bodyguard came in carrying a bucket of cold water.
Tao Zhengkun took the bucket of cold water and poured it directly on Deng Yu's head without thinking.
"Let me wake you up first." After Tao Zhengkun said this, he led Xiao Yiyun and Tao Yiran out of the cold storage. The bodyguard standing at the door of the cold storage immediately closed the door of the cold storage.
The cold storage has good thermal insulation and soundproofing effects. Deng Yu was poured a bucket of cold water and then blown by the cold wind from the cold storage. His frozen little body shrank inside. He couldn't help but shout loudly: "Help. Help." "
Tao Zhengkun and the others stood outside the cold storage. They only heard a little sound. The compressor of the cold storage was humming. They couldn't hear what Deng Yu shouted at all, let alone from a distance. Deng Yu The sound will not travel far at all and no one will hear it.
Ten minutes later, Tao Zhengkun winked at the bodyguard standing at the door. The bodyguard immediately opened the door of the cold storage and went in with another bucket of cold water. Without saying a word, he poured it directly on Deng Yu. Then He immediately exited the cold storage and closed the cold storage door.
At this moment when the cold storage door opened, Xiao Yiyun heard clearly that Deng Yu was calling for help inside.
At this time, Tao Zhengkun smiled at Xiao Yiyun and said, "I want to ask something. You don't have to use violence. Other methods will work. Moreover, the effect will be much stronger than using violence." As he spoke, Tao Zhengkun had a look on his face. He sighed with regret and continued: "It's not winter now. If it were winter, the effect would be better."
Tao Zhengkun's words made Xiao Yiyun's mouth straighten. This is enough. In an environment like a cold storage, there is no doubt that splashing water will freeze. You can imagine how low the temperature in the cold storage is. The weather is hot now. .There is a big temperature difference between the outside and the inside of the cold storage. The effect is not much worse than in winter.
Of course, if it is winter, it will make people feel colder. There is no doubt about it.
But even so, the temperature in the cold storage is so low that ordinary people can't bear it. What's more, Deng Yu also had cold water poured on him.
Deng Yu was wailing, begging for mercy, and shouting loudly inside the cold storage. Xiao Yiyun vaguely heard Deng Yu say the words "I say."
However, Tao Zhengkun remained unmoved. After about ten minutes, Tao Zhengkun winked at the bodyguard again. The bodyguard repeated the previous action again and poured cold water on Deng Yu.
"Brother, brother, please forgive me. I will say anything. I will say anything." Deng Yu felt that cold water had been thrown on him again, and he hurriedly begged for mercy.
Tao Zhengkun stood at the door of the cold storage and said calmly: "When I asked you before, your attitude made me quite dissatisfied. Now it seems that you have become more awake. However, I feel that it is not enough. You have to give it. You can teach me a little lesson." After saying this, Tao Zhengkun slammed the cold storage door.
Deng Yu wailed almost in despair. He didn't expect that things would become so big. If he continued like this, he would have to die or lose half his life.
The cold water that had been poured on him twice before flowed to the floor of the cold storage and had frozen. Due to Deng Yu's body temperature, there was no ice on his body. But the taste was really uncomfortable.
Another ten minutes passed. Tao Zhengkun asked his bodyguards to take Deng Yu out of the cold storage.
Deng Yu fell to the ground, shivering. He felt very cold and scared. Even though he had been splashed with water three times in the cold storage, it only lasted a little more than half an hour. A lawyer like Deng Yu, who sits in an office for a long time and does not move at all, is physically unable to hold on. Even at that moment, Deng Yu almost had hallucinations and was about to freeze to death inside.
"Now, you can tell me what's going on." Tao Zhengkun said lightly: "If I think what you are telling is not the truth, you will experience the coolness of summer again."
Hearing Tao Zhengkun's words, Deng Yu couldn't help but shiver. This is not the coolness of summer. It is simply like standing naked in the snow in winter.
"Lin Guoping. It was Lin Guoping who put pressure on me through his connections." Deng Yu said hurriedly.
"Tell me in detail." Tao Zhengkun turned on the recording function of his mobile phone and said, "Tell me every word."
Deng Yu immediately said: "Lin Guoping is the captain of the Anti-Narcotics Brigade. He put pressure on me through the relationship with the Justice Bureau to take over Shi Xinming's case. As you know, the Justice Bureau has a lawyer management office that is in charge of us. .There is nothing I can do.”
"Since it was Lin Guoping who put pressure on you, he would not come forward. How did you know that it was Lin Guoping who put pressure on you?" Tao Zhengkun asked immediately.
"I have a good relationship with the person from the Lawyers Management Office. When something like this happened, I didn't know who I offended. So I invited him to dinner and gave him gifts. He secretly told me that Lin Guoping suppressed the incident through his connections in the Judicial Office." Deng Yu said hurriedly: "Really, that's what happened. That's all I know."
"I believe what you said." Tao Zhengkun said with a smile, "Don't be nervous. I will let you go."
"Thank you. Thank you." Deng Yu was so moved that he almost cried when he heard this...
"I believe you won't report it." Tao Zhengkun asked, "Do you think I should trust you so much?"
"No. I will never report it." Deng Yu quickly expressed his position. He said: "I am a lawyer. I know these things. Reporting to the police is useless. I can't find you. I don't have any information about you at all. You see .Although my hands are cuffed now, I can take off the blindfold. I didn’t take it off. I just don’t want to see what you look like. I am definitely worthy of your trust.”
After talking about it, Deng Yu almost burst into tears.
Tao Zhengkun smiled and winked at the bodyguard. The bodyguard took a few steps forward and struck Deng Yu on the back of the neck with his palm. Deng Yu slowly fell to the ground.
Immediately, the bodyguard picked up Deng Yu, threw him into the Volkswagen commercial vehicle, and drove away. Obviously, Tao Zhengkun did not intend to kill Deng Yu. He asked the bodyguard to do this and let Deng Yu leave. Already.
"Dad." Tao Yiran looked at Tao Zhengkun at this time and said, "This Lin Guoping was the mastermind back then."
"Absolutely." Tao Zhengkun said, "Don't be anxious. This matter must be done step by step."
