Chapter 949 It seems that this is not the first time?
After Lu Qingqing left the office building, someone immediately grabbed her arm and took her to a place with few people.
She asked in confusion: "Lawyer Shen?"
Shen Zixi looked around, then frowned and said to her, "Why are you looking for Zuo Yuan?"
Lu Qingqing pulled her backpack and told the truth: "My editor-in-chief received the exclusive and asked me to follow it."
After saying that, she quickly added: "Lawyer Shen, don't worry, I'm just doing my job and it will never affect you..."
Shen Zixi frowned even higher: "That's not what I meant. Also, I didn't mean to break up with you just now."
Lu Qingqing smiled and said: "I know that you are a rigorous and serious person who will not be interfered by external factors. Especially when working, you are not distracted."
Shen Zixi: "..."
He wasn't as good as she said.
After a moment of silence, Shen Zixi said, "Do you really want to take this case?"
Lu Qingqing nodded: "This is the job assigned to me by the editor-in-chief. Zuo Yuan..."
After a pause, Lu Qingqing said hesitantly: "Lawyer Shen, do you want to argue that he is innocent in court?"
Shen Zixi pursed her lips and said, "Sorry, I can't tell you this."
Lu Qingqing immediately said: "I understand, I'm just asking casually..."
After thinking about it, Lu Qingqing still said: "Based on the police investigation and my interview with Zuo Yuan just now, I think he has a big problem."
Knowing what she wanted to express, Shen Zixi said slowly: "He is my client."
Hearing this, Lu Qingqing understood what he meant.
Defending a client is the most basic professional quality of a lawyer.
Lu Qingqing nodded and said, "Then I understand, just like Lawyer Shen said, let's each do our own work."
Just as she was about to leave, Shen Zixi pulled her back and said, "Have you already confirmed that Zuo Yuan killed his wife?"
Lu Qingqing said: "I can't be sure about this. The details will be left to the police for investigation. I am just responsible for finding out more secret and unknown truths."
"Since you have decided in your heart that there is something wrong with Zuo Yuan, no matter whether he killed his wife or not, you should not investigate this case anymore."
Lu Qingqing was puzzled: "Why?"
Shen Zixi said in a deep voice: "Have you ever thought about it, if you take a step back and say that his wife's death is really related to him, what will he do to you if you persist in this matter?"
After hearing this, Lu Qingqing tilted his head and smiled: "When Lawyer Shen said this, can I understand that you are telling me from the side that the truth is the information I got?"
Shen Zixi was stunned for a moment, and the hand holding her arm loosened. She didn't expect to be pulled in by her like this.
Lu Qingqing smiled and said: "Lawyer Shen, don't worry, this is just a casual chat in private without any involvement. I will use my own ability to investigate the truth of this matter."
While talking, Lu Qingqing's cell phone rang.
She answered the call and waved to Shen Zixi: "I'm leaving first. Goodbye, Lawyer Shen."
Shen Zixi stood there, raised his hand and touched his eyebrows, and let out a long breath.
Back in the car, Shen Zixi took things from the storage box, but saw Lu Qingqing's pendant.
He looked outside the car and saw that Lu Qingqing was no longer around.
Shen Zixi picked up the pen cap again and observed it carefully under the sunlight. He couldn't understand what was so special about it.
…
In the evening, after meeting Zuo Yuan's wife's former friends, Lu Qingqing returned home and saw a tall figure from a distance, half leaning in front of the car, looking down at his mobile phone.
Lu Qingqing trotted over: "Lawyer Shen, are you...waiting for me?"
Hearing her voice, Shen Zixi raised her head and immediately put away her phone. Out of the corner of her eye, she happened to catch a glimpse of the two people following her.
When Lu Qingqing stood in front of him, Shen Zixi said, "You just got off work?"
"Ah... yes, has Lawyer Shen eaten? If not, I'll treat you to it. I just want to thank you for saving me yesterday."
Shen Zixi really didn't eat: "Okay."
Lu Qingqing said: "There are some simple fast food and pasta around here. Can we go somewhere farther away?"
"Just eat noodles."
So Lu Qingqing took him to a noodle shop where she often went. After the two ordered their meals, when Shen Zixi was about to pay, Lu Qingqing had already paid him first: "I agreed to hire Lawyer Shen."
Shen Zixi smiled but said nothing.
The heater is on in the house and it's a little hot.
Sitting in his seat, Lu Qingqing subconsciously pulled on his scarf and fanned himself.
Shen Zixi's eyes fell on the scars on her neck, and the corners of her lips pursed slightly: "Did you go to the hospital for a checkup today?"
Lu Qingqing met his gaze, realized what he said, pulled up the scarf again, and said with a smile: "It's okay, I applied ointment yesterday, and it will be fine in two days."
After saying that, she looked at Shen Zixi's forehead and pointed: "Does Lawyer Shen still feel pain here?"
Shen Zixi wanted to say "it doesn't hurt", but when the words came to her mouth, she didn't know why it turned into: "a little bit."
A flash of self-blame flashed across Lu Qingqing's face: "Then I'd better go to the hospital..."
At this time, the waiter brought the noodles.
Shen Zixi took apart the chopsticks and said: "There is no need to go to the hospital. If you are free, you can help me treat the wound again."
Lu Qingqing agreed without thinking: "I'm free when I'm free."
Shen Zixi raised the corners of her lips without any trace, and handed the chopsticks to her: "Let's eat."
While eating, Shen Zixi noticed that there was no coriander in Lu Qingqing's bowl. He asked, "You don't eat coriander?"
Lu Qingqing replied: "Oh, I am allergic to coriander when I eat it, so I can't touch it at all. The boss here also remembers it, so he won't let it go to me every time."
I've only heard that some people don't like to eat coriander, but this is the first time I've heard of someone who is allergic to coriander.
Shen Zixi tilted his head, and a voice he heard somewhere or somewhere suddenly came to his mind, "I can't eat coriander, I'll be allergic."
It seems that this is not the first time?
Can't remember.
But if he saw a girl like Lu Qingqing once, he would never forget her.
Could it be a certain wine party?
The lights are dim and it's normal to not be able to see the face clearly.
But which wine shop will eat coriander?
But apart from these occasions, how could he interact with her and save her?
Or was it the time he went to Sydney on a business trip for more than half a year last year?
But if you meet someone from Nancheng in that place, you will naturally remember it deeply, so how can you forget it.
Seeing what Shen Zixi was thinking about, Lu Qingqing asked: "Lawyer Shen, isn't it delicious?"
Shen Zixi retracted her thoughts and picked up the chopsticks again: "No, it tastes pretty good, let's eat it."
Hearing that he recognized this store that she liked, Lu Qingqing couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips. It was a very subtle feeling.
