"Driver, go to One Bar." Deng Xi casually got into the back seat of the taxi.
The driver wore a peaked cap, and his appearance and expression could not be clearly seen from behind. Judging from his body shape, he should be quite young. Deng Xi did not pay much attention to it. The driver did not answer. He stepped on the accelerator and the car drove off.
The location of the detention center was already relatively remote, so it was relatively deserted along the way. There were not many passing vehicles. Deng Xi leaned on the cushions and squinted her eyes to doze off. Because it was still a long way from the detention center to the bar, she wanted to go there.
Take a rest in the car.
About twenty minutes later, the car stopped, and a low and hoarse voice came from the front seat: "We're here."
Deng Xi had never really fallen asleep. She felt it as soon as the car stopped. When she opened her eyes and looked at the surrounding environment, she was immediately shocked: "Driver, are you driving the wrong car? Where are you?"
The taxi driver took off his peaked cap, turned his head and smiled brightly at Deng Xi: "Xiaoxi, long time no see."
Who is this taxi driver? He is clearly Xu Yifeng!
Deng Xi was horrified and instinctively stretched out his hands to protect himself: "You...what are you going to do?"
"Don't be afraid, my Xiaoxi, how could I hurt you? Be obedient and I promise not to hurt you at all." Xu Yifeng grinned sinisterly, "Now, get out of the car obediently." As he spoke,
A pistol was already pressed against Deng Xi's head.
Deng Xi had no choice but to follow Xu Yifeng's instructions and get out of the car. Xu Yifeng kept pointing a gun at her, and she had no chance to resist.
After getting out of the car, Xu Yifeng put a gun on Deng Xi's waist. Deng Xi was really scared. She had never had the experience of being pointed at a gun, but she had to force herself to calm down. Once she panicked,
Then she and Ling Baifan are really finished.
This is a very desolate place. Construction waste after demolition can be seen everywhere on both sides of the road. Only a small house stands not far away, which stands out from the crowd. However, the house also looks very old. The exterior wall
The paint has almost peeled off.
"Go upstairs." Xu Yifeng gave the order concisely and concisely.
Deng Xi slowly stepped up the stairs, secretly remembering the terrain here. After going upstairs, he saw an iron door, which was the kind of door structure from the 1980s. There was an iron door on the outside and a wooden door on the inside. Xu Yifeng
He opened the door and brought Deng Xi in. The room was very empty, with basically no furniture, just a very simple Eight Immortals table and a few wooden benches. The original color and pattern of the floor tiles could no longer be seen clearly due to years of wear and tear.
"Senior...Senior, if you have something to say, you must not let your sins get deeper and deeper." Deng Xi knew that Xu Yifeng had no good intentions in tying him up, so he began to persuade him.
Xu Yifeng sneered, with a crazy look in his eyes: "My sins are so serious? What kind of good thing is Ling Baifan? Why do you like him and not me? Since I can't get you when I act as a good person, then I'll act like a bad person.
Got it!"
"Senior... You can't force emotional matters..." It was the first time that Deng Xi saw Xu Yifeng showing such a crazy and sinister expression, and he felt a sudden shock in his heart. Could it be that he was really in trouble today?
Deng Xi felt very regretful at this time. He Yunjiao had reminded her that Xu Yifeng would take revenge. She didn't believe it at first, thinking that Xu Yifeng would not do anything to her. But in fact, people's hearts are the most unpredictable. She was really too
I overestimated Xu Yifeng. If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have gone out today.
"Shh... don't talk." Xu Yifeng put his index finger on Deng Xi's mouth, "My Xiaoxi, when Ling Baifan is sentenced, I believe it won't be long before you forget him. Now, just be obedient
Stay here, you can’t leave here until the court session.”
"What on earth did you want to do by bringing me here?" Deng Xi slapped Xu Yifeng's hand away and kicked him with wide eyes.
"I know you are helping Ling Baifan with the lawsuit and are collecting evidence now. However, if you don't have enough evidence to prove Ling Baifan's innocence, then he will definitely go to jail. When the result is clear, I will let you out.
." Xu Yifeng pushed open a small door next to it, and it looked like a bedroom inside. "Go in, don't think about escaping, I'm gentle to you, and none of my men are gentle people."
Deng Xi was imprisoned in the bedroom. She finally saw Xu Yifeng's plan clearly. Xu Yifeng was preventing her from collecting evidence. It must be said that Xu Yifeng had a good calculation. If there were not enough personal and material evidence, it would be Deng Xi's death.
It would be useless for Xi to appear in court to defend Ling Baifan, Ling Baifan would still be sentenced.
"Xu Yifeng, please let me out quickly. Do you know that this is against the law?" Deng Xi became anxious and knocked on the door hard. She couldn't stay here, she had to go out to save Ling Baifan.
It's a pity that no matter how she knocked on the door or shouted, Xu Yifeng didn't respond to her, and she didn't know whether he left or something else.
Deng Xi was tired from knocking, and his two small fists were red. This was an old-fashioned house from the 1980s. Apart from the door, there was only a small window, and the window was surrounded by a circle of iron wire.
It was impossible for her to jump out of the window.
And from Xu Yifeng's tone, it seemed like there were several men guarding her here. How could she escape?
Phone! Yes, phone!
Deng Xi quickly took out her mobile phone from her pocket, but after seeing the mobile phone screen, she had an urge to go crazy. There was no signal at all, and Xu Yifeng even blocked the signal here.
Deng Xi changed various angles and directions in the room without giving up, praying in her heart that God would only give her a signal to make a phone call, but no matter how she tried, she couldn't receive the signal, leaving her with a feeling
I have the urge to smash my phone.
"Xiaoxi, don't try. There is no signal here, and your call can't be made." At this time, Xu Yifeng's slightly joking voice came from outside the door.
Deng Xi was shocked. How did Xu Yifeng know that she was looking for a signal with her phone? She was stunned for a moment and realized that there was a monitor installed in this room, and Xu Yifeng would see everything she did inside.
Damn it! Deng Xi couldn't help but cursed in a low voice. Xu Yifeng was really stupid. He actually installed a monitor in the bedroom. Then wouldn't he also be monitored while sleeping?
"Xu Yifeng, what do you want?" Deng Xi yelled loudly through the door. The time agreed with Wang Cong was coming soon. He only had a few days to leave the court, and he was now under house arrest by Xu Yifeng.
When she got up, thinking about this series of consequences, she felt extremely anxious.
"I think I have made it very clear that I will not allow you to defend Ling Baifan. Okay, it's getting late and I still have a meeting to attend. I'll leave first. You can have a good rest here.
"Xu Yifeng's tone was full of pride at this time. After saying this, Deng Xi heard his footsteps getting farther and farther away.
Deng Xi was as anxious as an ant in a hot pot. The door was locked from the outside and the windows were wired. She had no way to escape!
She scolded Xu Yifeng a thousand times in her heart, and sat on the bed in frustration for a while. She suddenly thought that although the phone could not make a call due to lack of signal, the alarm call should be able to be made. She immediately took out her phone and tried to dial 1, 3
Before the numbers were pressed, Xu Yifeng's voice appeared above his head again: "You are really bad. Want to call the police? You can try."
Deng Xi was shocked. Ling Baifan had already left. By the way, the sound just came from above his head, which meant that not only monitors were installed here, but also intercoms were installed.
Damn it! Deng Xi, who has always disliked swearing, couldn't help but curse. It seems that the first thing he should do now is to destroy the monitor in the room to see how Xu Yifeng can still monitor him!
Just as she said, Deng Xi immediately searched the room for cameras, on the ceiling, in the corners of the walls, and under the bed. Sure enough, she found several pinhole cameras, and she dismantled them without hesitation and put them under her feet.
Step hard, as if you are stepping on Xu Yifeng's head.
While he was venting, the door was opened at this moment, and two tall and thick bodyguards in black suits stood at the door: "Ms. Deng, if you don't stay obedient, don't blame the brothers for being rude to you."
Deng Xi rolled his eyes and said, "I need to go to the toilet. You don't have a toilet in this room. It's not professional at all!"
"Just stay here, don't think about escaping!" The bodyguard completely ignored Deng Xi's needs, glared at her fiercely, and locked the door again.
But in just half a minute, Deng Xi had already seen through the window opposite the door that several police cars were driving towards this direction.
Although it was just a glimpse, and although he did not hear the whistle, Deng Xi was sure that it was indeed a police car, but he didn't know if it was for his own business. After thinking about it, he felt that he had thought too much.
It had only been more than half an hour since she disappeared. Wang Cong definitely didn't know it so quickly, and except for Wang Cong, no one else could notice that she had disappeared.
This is really bad news that makes people full of hope and then disappointing!
Deng Xi simply rolled over and held his body up, thinking that he should conserve his strength now and see if he could find a chance to escape at night when the reporters were all resting.
After about ten minutes, there seemed to be some noise coming from outside. Deng Xi listened carefully, but he couldn't hear anything through a door. He just walked over for a few minutes, and suddenly several gunshots rang out.
Deng Xi was so frightened that her heart trembled, and then she heard loud noises.
"You guys upstairs have been surrounded. Please put down your weapons and surrender immediately, otherwise we won't be polite!" The loud shouts of the police were heard in his ears. Deng Xi was overjoyed. It seemed that the police car he accidentally saw just now was indeed the police car.
Come to save yourself, this is really exciting news.
There was a lot of noise outside, followed by several more gunshots, and then Deng Xi felt the door being opened from the outside.
"Ms. Deng, it's great that you're okay!" It was Wang Cong who came in with a look of joy on his face.
"Wang Cong? How did you know something happened to me?" When Deng Xi saw Wang Cong come in, he also knew that the situation here had been controlled by the police. It felt great to regain freedom.
"I put a small thing on you. Let's go out first. These people have been controlled by the police." Wang Cong said as he pulled Deng Xi away. The two of them walked to the stairs and saw several people.
All the bodyguards were handcuffed and taken to the police car. Several pools of blood could be seen on the ground. Someone was probably injured.
This time the kidnapping incident came to an end. The police arrested several of Xu Yifeng's men and went back for questioning. Unfortunately, they were too loyal to Xu Yifeng. No matter how they were interrogated, they all unanimously distanced themselves from their relationship with Xu Yifeng and said
He kidnapped Deng Xi just because he saw her beauty.
In this way, the police could not arrest Xu Yifeng and could only lock up a few of his men and educate him. Since they did not cause any harm to Deng Xi, they could not impose a sentence at all. They only fined him and detained him for fifteen days.
That's all.
After taking the confession from the police station, the night had shrouded in darkness, giving the city a mysterious color. Deng Xi turned to Wang Cong and said, "Thank you so much this time, otherwise I would definitely be doomed."
Wang Cong said with a hint of shyness: "That's okay. When I worked on cases with Lawyer Ling, I often encountered situations like kidnapping and revenge. If you encounter them more often, you'll know how to prevent and deal with them."
Deng Xi sighed and asked: "Lawyer Ling, it's actually not easy for him, isn't it?"
"Who says it's not the case?" Wang Cong's expression was a little sad: "He is actually living a very tired life, Miss Deng, maybe you are his salvation."
"Me?" Deng Xi pointed at himself, not understanding the meaning of Wang Cong's words, "What you say is too harsh. He and I just met by chance, and I don't know how far we can go."
"As long as you strengthen your confidence, Lawyer Ling will definitely repay you a hundred times a thousand times." Wang Cong said seriously, paused and then said: "Let's go, we should go to the bar."
Deng Xi nodded and followed Wang Cong to the bar, but she felt a little complicated in her heart. She had always felt that Ling Baifan was unreasonable and heartless. In fact, it was just a protective color he put on herself because he was afraid.
He was hurt, so he looked cold and didn't care about anything. In fact, he was very lonely in his heart, right? In fact, he also hoped that someone could understand him and tell him that it doesn't matter, you still have me, right?
That person seems not to care about anything, but in fact he takes everything into consideration and is really tired.
The night was when the bar was busiest. When the two of them arrived at the bar, it was already full of customers. The deafening music stimulated people's nerves, and the hot dancing on the dance floor gave the entire space an aura of decadence.
The two of them asked the bar staff separately. Unfortunately, they didn't know whether they were taboo about this matter or were silenced by Xu Yifeng. They were very secretive about this matter and were unwilling to talk more, or they simply said that they were new and didn't know anything about it.
I know. I've been busy for a while, but I didn't get any clues. Instead, I got a lot of blank looks.
"What should we do now? They all said they don't know." Deng Xi asked Wang Cong anxiously. If no witness could be found, the result would be really bad.
Wang Cong was also one of the top two: "I don't know, it's getting late, I can only come back tomorrow."
"I don't understand. I'm sure some of them know that Lawyer Ling got into a taxi. Why can't they tell the truth? Is human nature really so dirty?" Deng Xi snorted angrily.
She complained that the so-called caring leads to chaos. Now she really hates those people who are unwilling to come forward to testify.
Wang Cong sighed and comforted: "It's no wonder they are not bad people. They are just afraid of getting into trouble. After all, people have to consider themselves first before they consider others."
"Forget it, let's go back. We'll come back tomorrow. Even if I have to pester you, I'll still get a witness." Deng Xi walked out on high heels and walked to the door of the bar to see a cleaning lady who was cleaning, hugging her
He walked up to me with a try attitude and asked: "Auntie, are you an employee of this bar?"
The cleaning lady didn't expect anyone to come and talk to her. She was stunned for a moment and then said: "Yes, what can I do?"
Deng Xi then asked: "Auntie, were you on duty on the night of July 10th?"
The cleaning aunt nodded and said: "Yes, there are two cleaners in our bar. I and the other aunt Zhang work in shifts. Each of us has one day off. I happen to be on duty on the 10th."
When Deng Xi heard this, he thought it was interesting and quickly took out the photo of Ling Baifan that he had prepared in advance, "Then do you know this person?"
The cleaning lady glanced at him and said, "I know him. Isn't this the barrister? I saw him drinking in our bar when I was at work that day, but I heard that something happened to him and he killed someone!"
Seeing that this aunt had no taboos about Ling Baifan, Deng Xi thought that maybe this inconspicuous cleaning aunt was also a clue, and quickly said kindly: "That's the kind of aunt, I am Lawyer Ling's defense lawyer, my name is Deng Xi, I'm here
Your bar just wants to investigate what happened that night. You also said that you saw him coming here to spend money that day. Can you still remember what happened next?"
The cleaning aunt was an honest person. After hearing Deng Xi introduce her identity, she thought about it seriously. After thinking for a while, she said: "It seems that the bar was about to close, and the waiter persuaded him to leave. He was very drunk.
I couldn't even walk steadily. There were so many such customers in the store that I didn't pay much attention. Later, when I went out to take out the trash, I seemed to see him standing on the side of the road waving randomly, as if he was hailing a taxi. But behind him
I don’t know what happened, so after I took out the trash, I went back to the store to clean the cups.”
"That is to say, you saw Lawyer Ling hailing a taxi on the side of the road, can you confirm its authenticity?" Deng Xi was excited and quickly asked to confirm.
