Original sin

The meal at noon is arranged in "Yang Feichang".

Feng Shuo's assistant Yao Tao was in charge of the arrangement.

This is a very famous restaurant in Qiaocheng, and its specialty is shrimp sour sausage.

Shrimp sour is a major feature of Bridge City. It does smell a bit unpleasant, but it tastes delicious.

Lincheng also specializes in shrimp and sour hot pot, but the taste is far less authentic than that in Qiaocheng.

Although the distance between Lincheng and Qiaocheng is only more than 100 kilometers, there are still differences in some eating habits.

"We don't drink alcohol at noon, just have some drinks." Feng Shuo knows the police discipline, not to mention noon, even at night, the police are not allowed to drink now, as long as the weekdays are from Monday to Friday , Even at night, you can't drink alcohol. The inspector will check randomly, and no one wants to bump into such a muzzle.

"Originally I didn't like drinking very much. Drinks are good." Shen Chen pointed to the big bottle of Wang Laoji in front of him and said.

Eating hot pot and drinking Wanglaoji has become a fashion without knowing when.

After Yao Tao poured drinks for everyone, Feng Shuo started to serve them up: "Come on, let me toast you first."

Shen Chen also picked it up: "This cup should be my toast, I feel the hospitality of Brother Feng."

The two took a sip, then Feng Shuo touched Ouyang Nana and Luo Sen symbolically, and then everyone got up casually.

Feng Shuo and Shen Chen were chatting about the cases they had cooperated with before, and he would laugh heartily from time to time.

Rosen and Ouyang Nana were talking in a low voice, and they seemed to be discussing those cases.

On the contrary, Yao Tao, Feng Shuo's assistant, was a bit bored sitting there by himself.

"Do you have a girlfriend?" Feng Shuo asked Shen Chen an embarrassing question, Shen Chen pursed his lips, then shook his head: "Not yet, let's talk about it after finishing the few cases in hand."

Feng Shuo looked disapproving: "How can you not take your life's major affairs seriously for the sake of the case? We are all engaged in legal work. For people like us, is there a time when the case is too busy? Especially You are the police, and before a case is over, a new case will come, and there will always be cases, do you plan to stay single like this forever?"

Shen Chen smiled wryly, but did not refute. He had just made an excuse before, but Feng Shuo took it seriously.

"I said, brother, you are not young anymore. I remember you are almost 30 years old, right? Now it is advocating two children and three children. If you don't hurry up, you will not be able to meet the target just by having children."

Hearing what Feng Shuo said, Ouyang Nana laughed first, and Feng Shuo glanced at her: "Don't laugh, now our country's population is seriously aging, and there will be a shortage of population in the future, so the country vigorously promotes multiple births and eugenics , now it’s just advocating that one day if the guarantee is not complete, he will use the same energy as the family planning to ask everyone to work hard to have children. If you think about his age, it is not easy to finish the third child. Well, it will also affect promotion."

Shen Chen was a little speechless, he had to admire Feng Shuo's big brain, he used the determination and means of family planning to return to birth, thanks to him thinking it out, if he really wanted to do that, it would be a mess.

However, he didn't want to argue with Feng Shuo, this kind of thing was inherently false, what's the point of winning or losing.

While eating, Shen Chen seemed to ask unintentionally: "How many partners does your firm have now?"

"There are three of us, including me, but we almost all do our own thing. Of course, when encountering a big case, when the other side asks to form a team of lawyers, we will give priority to our own lawyers. Quite a few."

Shen Shen nodded, and Feng Shuo said again: "I know what you're thinking, we handle our own cases independently, and the client information is not in common. Normally, we will not touch each other's client information. This is a big taboo. Yao Tao is responsible for sorting out and filing all my case files, and besides me, only Xiao Yao has the key to my filing cabinet. Of course, during the process of handling the case, only those who have access to the case in the office There are a few people, they mainly serve my team, these people, how to say, I can’t say, after all, I’m not sure if they will do such a thing.”

"If you trust us, I hope you can provide us with a copy of these people's information, and we will help you investigate them from other aspects, such as bank deposits, call records, etc. You know, our police have such ability."

Of course Feng Shuo believed that the police had such capabilities. No matter how they were state machines, although they sounded impersonal, they had incomparable convenience in certain investigations.

"Okay, if there is anything trustworthy or untrustworthy, it's okay to say this based on the relationship between our brothers. It's also good if you help me check it out. I also hope that there is no hot pot of rat shit in my team. "

Ouyang Nana, who was eating, frowned slightly when she heard that, she was eating, is it appropriate to say such disgusting words?

Luo Sen thinks that Feng Shuo is quite down-to-earth, at least he speaks very directly, unlike some lawyers who rely on their status like some lawyers who make people guess what they say, but Feng Shuo sometimes says what.

"Xiao Yao, after you go back, you should compile a list of people who may have access to our client's information in various links, and then send it to Team Shen and the others. Remember, this matter must be kept secret, and no one else will know. Also, the list must be detailed, even if there is only a [-]% possibility, he cannot be missed."

Yao Tao hurriedly responded, and said solemnly: "Assistant Yao, you don't have to be nervous, just relax, we'll just have a normal meal." Feng Shuo also felt that Yao Tao seemed to be reluctant to let go, very It is restraint.

"That's how she is. Maybe it's because I'm too strict with them on weekdays, which makes them fearful." Feng Shuo said.

Then he looked at Yao Tao: "Hurry up and eat, don't be cautious, Team Shen is right, we just have a casual meal, not a social gathering, you just take care of yourself, eat whatever you want, whatever you want How to eat, eat is to eat, don't think about what you have and what you don't have."

Hearing what Feng Shuo said, Yao Tao seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. She really felt a little depressed because of Feng Shuo's existence. She had always wanted to work hard to be Feng Shuo's assistant. Learn what is good for her.But no matter how hard she tried, her words and actions were still somewhat unsatisfactory.

In Feng Shuo's words, it can't be all her fault, she always lacks a little understanding.

As for savvy, Shen Shen really didn't know what to say, it was a mysterious and mysterious feeling, Feng Shuo said that when Yao Tao could really get enlightened, then she might become a qualified lawyer.

In Feng Shuo's opinion, those who are engaged in legal work should have a strong heart, not be impulsive, let alone overflowing with sympathy.That will affect their correct judgment and normal performance. On the contrary, legal workers should be more like a sophisticated machine so that they can be accurate.

"Director Feng, you should know all the people in your office, right?" Luo Sen, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke.Feng Shuo knew that Shen Shen brought this kid from Lincheng, and the person who could be favored by Shen Chen should not be bad.

He thought for a while and replied: "How should I put it, I didn't try to understand them deliberately, but my own team members still know a little bit."

Rosen nodded: "Do you have to tell me who you are most likely to suspect? Do you have an alternative answer in mind?"

Feng Shuo thought about it seriously, then shook his head: "I really don't have this, and you should know that our lawyers do things very similar to your police, that is, we must rely on evidence. It is easy to doubt a certain person. In that way, it is very likely to make subjective mistakes, for example, some personal likes and dislikes will be mixed in it.”

Luo Sen stopped talking, Feng Shuo's words were very objective, Feng Shuo and Shen Shen were somewhat similar in this point, and Shen Chen was the same, he would not judge lightly.But Shen Chen does not have to rely on evidence to judge, but through his inference, when he thinks his inference is correct, then he will try his best to verify his inference, so as to find relevant evidence.

After a meal, Feng Shuo took Yao Tao and left, and Shen Chen and the others also returned to the Qiaocheng Bureau.

As soon as they arrived at the bureau, Yao Tao's information was sent to Shen Shen's mobile phone. It seemed that Feng Shuo still took this matter to heart, otherwise Yao Tao would not have sent the information so quickly.

Feng Shuo's team really has a lot of people, a total of seven people, including Yao Tao.Among the remaining six people, there are two trainee lawyers who have just taken the judicial examination and obtained their certificates. They don't have the ability to handle cases independently, so they want to accumulate some experience with Feng Shuo, and if they can follow Feng Shuo in the future, if they Flying solo also gained some capital, Feng Shuo is a gold-lettered signboard in Qiaocheng.

There is another one who is qualified to handle cases independently, but he chooses to be with Feng Shuo. If Yao Tao is Feng Shuo's assistant, she is more responsible for the secretary, and this young lawyer named Hou Xiaoqiang is the one. Feng Shuo's assistant in the true sense, he was an indispensable help in Feng Shuo's several big cases.

He has been following Feng Shuo since he became a lawyer. He has enough experience and strong working ability, but he is used to following Feng Shuo. Naturally, Feng Shuo will not treat him badly. His income is higher than that of the entire lawyer The firm is considered the highest, of course, except for the two partners of the law firm.

"Do you know this Hou Xiaoqiang?" Shen Shen asked Ouyang Nana, and Ouyang Nana nodded: "He is very shrewd and capable. He is about the same age as us, but has a lot of work experience. He has always been called Mr. Feng Shuo In the last newspaper interview, he said that he has learned a lot from Feng Shuo's side, and Feng Shuo also spoke highly of him, saying that he has matured early and is a rare good seedling. His achievements will not be inferior to his own. Feng Shuo also said that with his own strength, he can become a partner of the law firm, but he is still humble and studious, and would rather be his assistant. Proud to be an assistant."

Shen Chen nodded slightly, then closed his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

Liu Chenglin walked into the conference room. He already knew about Shen Chen and the others' whereabouts today. He sat down and diffused the cigarettes for Shen Chen and Luo Sen, and then asked with a smile, "How is it, Team Shen, what have you learned?"

Shen Chen took the cigarette Liu Chenglin gave him and sniffed at the tip of his nose, then said, "I don't have any clue yet."

Liu Chenglin was a little disappointed. He always thought that foreign monks could recite scriptures, and thought that since Shen Chen and the others had come, they should be able to discover something, but now it seemed that he felt that Shen Shen was not much better than them.

Shen Chen continued to look at the profiles of the other people, but finally his eyes fell on Hou Xiaoqiang.

A person with rich work experience, a mature lawyer who can fly solo, no matter which law firm he goes to, he is likely to become a sought-after partner, but why did he choose to follow Feng Shuo?Shen Shen can hear from Ouyang Nana's words that Hou Xiaoqiang may become a partner even if he stays in Feng Shuo's law firm.

But he didn't choose to be a partner, he was willing to be Feng Shuo's assistant.

Is it true that he is grateful to Feng Shuo and repaying it in this way?

From Shen Chen's point of view, if he really appreciates Feng Shuo, he doesn't need to use such a method, he must have a plan for following Feng Shuo.

But what is he plotting?Do you want to rely on Feng Shuo's name to raise your own social status?He should have achieved this goal long ago. Didn't Ouyang Nana say it before, what he said to Feng Shuo during the newspaper interview was a sincere relationship, and they loved each other a lot High hat, simply don't have to do it anymore.

So what is he drawing?You know, if you fly solo and become a partner, his income will be greatly improved, so he won't have trouble with money, right?

Although Shen Chen thought so, he didn't say it out loud, but secretly thought in his heart that he had to meet Hou Xiaoqiang, but he had only been to Feng Shuo's law firm in the morning, so he was afraid it would not be suitable to go again now.

Moreover, it was impossible for him to go and only get in touch with this Hou Xiaoqiang, and he also decided to get in touch with a few other people. Of course, those people were probably just foils. At least in Shen Chen's opinion, the remaining few people were not as suspicious as Hou Xiaoqiang.

"Let's go to Feng Shuo's law firm tomorrow." Shen Chen said.

Ouyang Nana knew that the list from Yao Tao must have made Shen Shen feel this way, she asked softly, "Are you interested in Hou Xiaoqiang?"

"Hou Xiaoqiang?" Liu Chenglin was a little surprised.

Ouyang Nana knew that Liu Chenglin and Hou Xiaoqiang had a good relationship, but Shen Chen looked at Liu Chenglin: "Why, Team Liu seems to know him very well?"

"Well, of course we are familiar. The two criminal cases that Feng Shuo took over were all handled by Hou Xiaoqiang, so I still have some right to speak about this person."

Shen Chen smiled: "Then Team Liu, tell me what kind of person Hou Xiaoqiang is?"

Liu Chenglin thought for a while and replied: "This person is really good. Although he is not very old, he speaks and does things very calmly, and he understands the world and is seasoned. The most important thing is that he has a strong professional ability. It seems that he is not much worse than Feng Shuo at all. In Feng Shuo's own words, the waves behind the Yangtze River push forward the waves ahead. Although Feng Shuo always said that Hou Xiaoqiang already has the ability to work alone, he also hopes that Hou Xiaoqiang can create a path of his own. But from the bottom of his heart, he hopes that Hou Xiaoqiang will always follow him. If such a person is released, he will become his own rival. To be honest, this kid is really a person who knows how to be grateful, because he has been banned since he joined the industry. Shuo treated him very well, so he never planned to leave Feng Shuo and work alone, and he was at ease as Feng Shuo's assistant."

But Shen Chen said: "Think about it differently. If we were in Hou Xiaoqiang's position, would we give up the great opportunity for our own development just out of pure gratitude?"

Both Liu Chenglin and Ouyang Nana were stunned by the heavy question. Yes, this question is very realistic. Even if they are grateful, it is impossible to give up their future.
