Jincheng Hotel, the name sounds very deceptive. In fact, it is located on the second floor of a four-story old-fashioned apartment. This apartment is called "Jincheng Building". The first floor is full of various snack restaurants, and the second floor is Jincheng Hotel.
In fact, it is a simple daily rental hotel with prostitutes nearby, and Liu Ying is often brought here for fast food by guests.
The recent sensational murder of the second wife of the Liu family occurred in Room 14 of the Jincheng Hotel.
Today, Lu Ming is drinking stocking milk tea in a small tea restaurant on the first floor of the apartment.
He sat at the window seat and looked at the tourists and pedestrians outside through the tinted glass window. The murder here did not seem to affect the business of the store. After all, this is a leisure paradise for the urban class, with restaurants on the first floor and a daily rental hotel on the second floor.
There are civilized dance halls, mahjong parlors, etc. on the third floor.
Although the conditions are worse, the advantage is that consumption is cheap and the common people can afford it.
Chen Qinghua, who was sitting next to him, felt that his boss was not in a very good mood.
He also didn't expect that the room where the murder occurred had been unsealed and could be opened for business. Although no one had moved in yet, it had been cleaned and there was no need for investigation.
The boss probably came here to see if there were any clues that the police had ignored or concealed.
After chatting with the hotel waiters, I didn't get much clues. These waiters were very secretive about this case, and no one dared to say anything.
Moreover, the hotel manager who was familiar with Second Aunt Li was named Du Laifu, who was the cousin of Second Aunt Li. It was he who discovered the body and reported the case.
Du Laifu also naturally became one of the witnesses in the case.
Therefore, the defense cannot contact him in private without the permission of the prosecutor.
Just now, the boss made an appointment with a waiter from the hotel to meet here and is waiting for her to finish work.
"Here we come!" Chen Qinghua's eyes lit up.
In front of the brown glass window, a female figure was walking past. She was a young woman of eighteen or nineteen years old. She was wearing a floral dress and looked very graceful. She was the waiter of the Jincheng Hotel whom the boss had made an appointment with, named Xiao Cui.
Chen Qinghua stood up, walked to the door, and led her in with a smile.
Xiaocui sat down a little stiffly and glanced at Lu Ming uneasily, "You, are you really a lawyer?"
"Of course, you don't have to be afraid, Lu Bian is very easy-going!" Chen Qinghua said with a smile, then picked up the plate on the table, "Look, what would you like to drink?"
Xiao Cui shook her head gently.
Chen Qinghua smiled and said: "I'll give it to you. Just the stocking milk tea here. It seems to be a specialty."
"No, I won't drink anything, and I can't help you..."
Xiao Cui's eyes were still a little suspicious, and Chen Qinghua was also a little helpless, but people like Xiao Cui naturally had very few opportunities to meet lawyers, and speaking of things like on-site inspections, big firms had specialized
investigators, or hire private detectives, but our firm has limited staff, so Lawyer Lu can only do it himself.
"I've always felt that you have something to say to me, right?" Lu Ming looked at Xiao Cui.
"No, I, although I was on duty that night, I didn't hear any unusual noises..." Xiao Cui shook her head repeatedly.
Lu Ming looked at her deeply and said, "Okay, but if you can remember anything, please contact me!"
Chen Qinghua, who was standing next to her, handed her a business card of Lu Ming.
Xiaocui took it and stood up, "Lawyer Lu, I'm sorry, I really can't help you!" He bowed, turned around and left in a panic.
Looking at her back, Chen Qinghua said cautiously: "Lu Bian, should I stay and talk to her more?"
"Forget it, let's go." Lu Ming stood up. Chen Qinghua felt helpless and gained nothing.
…
There is a detective agency on the tenth floor of the Jitiao Building. It is not large in scale and is just an office in the back room.
There are only two people. One is the boss of the office. Everyone calls him Lao Gui. He is an old man in his fifties. He usually has a big pipe in his mouth and his face is narrowed and disrespectful. But
There is a rumor that those who offend this guy usually don't end well.
The other is the office secretary Qingsao, an old woman who looks like a ghost. She quietly brings a tea cup behind you, making your scalp numb.
"Lawyer Lu, your request is a bit troublesome!" The fire in the old ghost's pipe flickered, reflecting the cunning look on his face.
Lu Ming asked Lao Gui to help him find the original forensic report of Li Xiaoyan, the deceased in Li Mingxuan's case. It would be best if he could also have an appointment with someone familiar with the case who was involved in the case at the forensic doctor's office, but it couldn't be the one on the opponent's witness list.
This kind of medicine.
Looking at the old ghost, Lu Ming smiled: "Brother Gui, tell me a number and I'll see if I can accept it."
"It's hard to say. Let's do this. I'll try my best. If I can, I'll call you again!" The old man smiled with a smile on his face.
Lu Ming nodded, "Sorry to trouble you!"
…
The old ghost was very efficient in his work. Two or three hours later, he called and said that there was an assistant in the medical examiner's office who was willing to meet with you, Lawyer Lu. However, it was up to you, Lawyer Lu, to discuss the details.
The old ghost even said that I won’t charge you, Lawyer Lu, this time. I want to establish a long-term cooperative relationship with you, Lawyer Lu, and give you a small bonus to show my sincerity.
…
In the evening, Lu Ming and Pan Mira arrived at the Wendebao Club.
This is a four-story splendid building. Especially at night, with the neon lights flashing, it is very beautiful.
The club is equipped with heating and cooling air-conditioning and luxurious furnishings; the first floor is a ballroom; the second floor is a casino; the third and fourth floors are VIP lounge areas and high-end suites. The top floor is equipped with a huge cylindrical fiberglass tower with colored light bulbs, which serve as dancers.
When preparing to leave, the waiter can use colored light bulbs on the tower to type out the guest's car plate number or other code. The driver can see it from a distance and drive the car to the entrance of the dance hall, or a rickshaw can come and wait.
Moreover, behind the club is a vast green grassy hillside. This is the club's comprehensive entertainment facilities, including tennis courts, golf courses, swimming pools, etc.
Wendebao Club is the only opponent in Beiguan that can compete with Mingjia Entertainment.
Because the deceased in the case was the second concubine of Liu Shoucheng, the second shareholder of Mingjia Entertainment, Lu Ming asked the forensic assistant named Cheng Dalong to come to Wendebao Club to give him a greater sense of security.
In the extremely luxurious ballroom, a singer wearing a glittering cheongsam was singing a feasting song.
Lu Ming and Pan Mira were sitting on the semi-enclosed circular sofa in the corner.
There is a large dance hall where many people can dance together. The dance floor is supported by car steel plates, which will produce a shaking feeling when dancing. There are small dance floors around the large dance floor that can be divided at will, which can be used for dance practice and trysts.
.
Lu Ming chose Channel 6 now. There was a semi-enclosed small dance floor next to the coffee table surrounded by semicircular sofas.
It is suitable for three couples to chat about intimate topics while dancing.
She looked at her watch and saw that it was already past seven o'clock. She and the forensic assistant Cheng Dalong had made an appointment to meet here at seven o'clock sharp.
Pan Mila wore a long snow-white dress, her golden hair was beautifully tied up in a bun, and it was more noble and brighter than the black skirt. She looked like a queen from the Middle Ages.
Lu Ming brought a Western female partner to dance, and spent 500 yuan to sign up for membership, becoming a senior member of this club.
Generally speaking, the entry threshold for senior members of the Wendebao Club is very high, and it is not something you can apply for if you have money. It is an invitation system, which is also a circle of friends and business circle. There are frequent gatherings, and many people can't get in despite their brains.
.
Therefore, when Cheng Dalong came to the front desk and said that he had made an appointment with lawyer Lu Qianxing, the waiter quickly brought him over with great respect.
Cheng Dalong was in his forties, wearing black-rimmed glasses. He seemed to seldom go to such high-end places. He shook hands with Lu Ming a little reservedly and sat down. Lu Ming ordered some snacks and asked him what he wanted to drink. He looked at the drink.
The price on the sign was also breathtaking.
"Let's get a bottle of 30-year-old brandy." Lu Ming said casually.
In this world, of course brandy is not called brandy, but it is still grape distilled liquor, so Lu Ming defaults its name to brandy.
30-year-old puree, in the previous life, was considered top-grade even among XO brandies.
The price here is 30 yuan for a bottle of 30-year-old brandy. Cheng Dalong, a forensic assistant, whose normal monthly salary is only 65 yuan, immediately became more cautious.
As for Pan Mila, a gorgeous Western beauty with blond hair and aggressive blue eyes, Cheng Dalong didn't even dare to look there.
"Also, help Mr. Cheng choose a better dance partner." Lu Ming ordered the waiter again.
Not long after, with a chuckle, a cheongsam beauty holding a bottle of foreign wine swayed towards her. She was a very beautiful woman, wearing a light red cheongsam, revealing her beautiful legs in white stockings and red high heels. Her whole body exuded sexy charm.
.
"Sir, my name is Amei..." The beauty blinked her long eyelashes and looked at Lu Ming, with a faint meaning, are you still satisfied with me?
Lu Ming pointed to Cheng Dalong's side and said with a smile: "Be with my friend."
"Okay!" Amei showed the wine to Lu Ming again. When Lu Ming nodded, she opened the wine and asked Pan Mila, "Miss, what would you like to drink?"
"Just a little less is better!" Pan Mila's long, snow-white fingers painted with silver nail polish placed her and Lu Ming's glasses between them.
Lu Ming smiled inwardly, fortunately, there was no mention of drunk driving yet.
After pouring the wine, Amei took the glasses for herself and Cheng Dalong, sat down next to Cheng Dalong, handed the glass of brandy to Cheng Dalong, and said with a chuckle: "You look so elegant!"
Being lightly touched by her body, Cheng Dalong was immediately shocked and blushed. He took the wine glass in a panic, "Ah, yes, yes..."
Amei smiled like a silver bell.
Lu Ming smiled: "You guys chat for a while, let's go to the hall to dance..."
He and Pan Mila came out and went to the hall to dance a song. When they came back, they saw Cheng Dalong looking more natural and talking and laughing with Amei.
It has to be said that this Wen Debao dancer is very good at taking advantage of the situation. In a short period of time, she managed to capture Cheng Dalong and made him feel at home.
"Mr. Cheng, may I have the honor to ask you to dance a song?" Amei stood up and extended her delicate hand to Cheng Dalong.
"Okay..., okay..." Cheng Dalong seemed to be itching for a long time. He grabbed Amei's hand and couldn't bear to let go. He and Amei danced to the dance music on the small dance floor. It was the kind of very small range.
In the slow dance, under the guidance of Amei, Cheng Dalong was able to keep up.
"The Velcro is very good, how is it going?" Lu Ming asked Pan Mila.
"All the materials that need to be prepared have been submitted. There is no big problem. You are the first inventor and Gao Baozhen is the second inventor."
Lu Ming nodded. Gao Baozhen was very talented in this area. According to what he said, he had already tinkered with the prototype of Velcro. Moreover, because it was his own idea, he was only the executor, just like a theoretical physicist.
Different from the experimental physicist, he is willing to be the second beneficiary of the patent application, and he has also signed an agreement with him. If the patent benefits, he and he will divide it 70-70.
Pan Mila is very smart. During this time, she has completely learned how to apply for a patent. Of course, the required materials are very clear, and it is not really a complicated job. However, women in this era generally have low academic qualifications and limited intelligence.
, for this kind of professional work, it is amazing to be able to figure out the ropes in a short period of time.
This will save you more worries. You only need to select valuable patented inventions, and you don't need to worry about the application procedures and the like at all.
After asking this question, Lu Ming fell silent again and just danced, feeling a little embarrassed.
"Lawyer Lu, come here, let me toast you a drink!" Cheng Dalong came back after dancing to a song, and raised his wine glass, his face was red. If the wine is not intoxicating, everyone will get drunk.
Lu Ming smiled and raised his glass and touched it gently with him.
"Lawyer Lu, I really can't help you much this time..." Cheng Dalong looked very regretful. Maybe even if he sells his father now, he would not hesitate. Now he is just annoyed that he brought it with him.
The information doesn't seem to be of much value.
Amei had already stood up and said, "I'll get you some fruit!" She was very discerning and knew that she shouldn't be around when they started talking about business.
"It doesn't matter, the most important thing for us is to make friends!" Lu Ming smiled, "In this way, when you come with your friends from now on, just sign my order."
Watching Amei walk away, Cheng Dalong leaned over and lowered his voice: "Lawyer Lu, regarding the autopsy of Second Aunt Li, it is like this. Her skull had at least four scars from being hit by blunt objects. The initial report, according to the skull
In the case of fission, some people believe that the latest blunt blow may have been separated from the first blow by a period of time, possibly more than three hours. However, after the forensic discussion, this point was removed from the report.
Deleted."
"But Lawyer Lu, I can't go to court to prove this, you know..." Cheng Dalong looked a little embarrassed, feeling like he was eating and drinking for free.
"It's okay, you've already helped me a lot!" Lu Ming smiled and raised his glass.
