First-Class Lawyer - Chapter 117

[Chapter 116 Identity (4)]

After another 20 minutes, someone finally found Barry –

there is a small bar 200 meters east of the hotel staff dormitory, and there is an exaggerated fountain pool outside the bar. Barry was face down, his upper body submerged in the fountain pool, and he was helpless when he was found.

In this way, it is not a matter of being low-key or low-key.

Gu Yan and the others called the police decisively.

The silver leopard police car dedicated to the Fawang District Police Station galloped along the suspended route and whizzed past the elevated urban area, drawing three juxtaposed car marks in the air.

They pulled Ulla Ulla’s siren and went all the way unobstructed. It didn’t take long for them to arrive at the Hulkin Garden Hotel on the outskirts of Fawang District.

The three police cars did not encounter any obstacles in the urban area, but they were worried at the gate of the compound of the Hengjin Garden Hotel.

Because the outside of the hotel was jammed with reporters’ cars.

The leading police car whistled frantically, and the hotel security guards stood in a row like an impregnable wall, pushing and shoving to clear the way for the police car. The three cars were able to file in.

The sheriff got out of the car with two police officers and strode into the hotel building.

The remaining car of police officers trotted, pulled the cordon to surround the entire hotel courtyard gate, and led by the management staff, went to the fountain pool to the east of the staff dormitory.

“Sheriff Xiao.” The general manager of the hotel waited at the door and greeted the sheriff, “It’s been a long trip.”

Sheriff Xiao has been on duty in Fawang District for many years, and manages the Hulkin Garden Hotel. The staff is not unfamiliar, and several of them are not the first time to deal with. He frowned and glanced outside the courtyard gate, and said dissatisfiedly, “Some of you here are very loose. The matter has not been investigated, and the news leaked out first. The reporters outside arrived earlier than us.” The

general manager Helplessly said: “You misunderstood, it’s not that we leaked news, and those people didn’t arrive just now. To be precise, they didn’t come because of an accident, they just happened to meet them.”

You can tell by looking at the signs of the cars surrounding the outside, most of which are unsung websites. In order to gain some popularity, those websites are at the forefront of everything. The reception held by the Southern Cross this time was filled with people who could be named. For these sites, it is a plate full of meat, smelling the smell and waiting early, who cares if there is anything wrong.

“How can the gang outside the door be called reporters.” The general manager said, “Real reporters will be blackfaced.”

“Forget it.” Sheriff Xiao asked, “Where are those people?”

“The VIPs?”

” Hmm.”

“It’s all in the garden at the moment.” In

the glass garden of the hotel, all the people invited by Southern Cross Law Firm this time were sitting in twos and threes. There were more people than last night’s warm-up reception, and the atmosphere was indeed unprecedented. of tension.

Sheriff Xiao followed the general manager in, and firstly nodded to everyone in the garden as a greeting. Then he put the loudspeaker button on his ear and said, “I’m sorry to let you see me and my police officers in the middle of the holiday. In fact, we don’t want to disturb this wonderful party, but work still needs to be done. Yes. I think you have heard a little bit about the poor employee. I believe that this matter has nothing to do with most of the ladies and gentlemen present, but as a routine, we still need to take a transcript. I hope you will understand our work. , and at the same time be considerate of the poor employee.”

The guests present had no objection, but their faces did not look good.

“What’s wrong?” Sheriff Xiao stared at a guest closest to him and asked, “You don’t look like you’re happy.”

“No.” The guest turned to look at the people around him, and said to the Sheriff, “I didn’t. I’m not happy, I’m happy to cooperate with your work. It’s just because…it’s a little embarrassing to have this kind of thing happen to a good reception.”

His words probably represent most of the people present, who are partners of the law firm as the host. Mr. Ren Gao is the one with the most ugly face. After listening to the guests, he glanced apologetically at everyone, especially the Manson brothers with the thickest thighs.

After seeing Milo Manson’s undisguised stinky face, he withdrew his gaze again with a terrible headache, and rubbed his temples vigorously.

Of course, there are some people who don’t care about the “dead employee”.

In front of Yan Suizhi and the others, there is a flowerbed that naturally surrounds a booth. There are three people sitting in several high-end sofa chairs for single and double people. On the marble table in front of them, there are some morning teas, which are scattered. Poker and Pai Gow.

While listening to the sheriff’s words, one of them was fiddling with a few poker cards in his hand, and the sound of “huahua” sounded like he was flipping through a book, looking like he was bored.

Miss Fitz nestled in the single sofa seat next to Yan Suizhi, glanced in that direction, and then shook her head “tsk tsk tsk”.

“Miss Fitz, what’s wrong with your tongue?” Yan Suizhi asked knowingly, reminding her not to be too obvious.

“No, the tip of the tongue hurts when I see someone I don’t like.” Fitz took a sip of coffee, “That Cliff was so arrogant, he made me so angry last night, if it weren’t for him being a guest, I would definitely not give it to him. Good face.”

The Cliff she was talking about was the man who was playing cards, and one-third of the shuttle machines in the league were stamped with his home. In the early years, the family had some contacts with interstellar pirates, played with arms, engaged in mines, and had a rich family background, but it was not white enough. Later, I cooperated with the Manson family, transferred to the shuttle machine, and started to do interstellar freight seriously.

Although the focus of his career has shifted for decades, everyone in his family has the tone of an early arms dealer in the Alliance.

When dealing with interstellar pirates in the past, there must be no rare blood, so now seeing things like “dead people”, the people in his family are very calm and don’t take it seriously at all.

The sound of poker playing cards in his hand was actually not that big, and it was basically drowned out by Sheriff Xiao’s voice.

But Yan Suizhi still glanced at him a few times between drinking water.

He saw Cliff threw the cards in his hand on the square table, drank some coffee, shuffled the cards again, then picked one with his index finger, threw it away, picked another one, and then throw away.

This is obviously to pass the time, and the action of picking cards is also very casual.

But the more random people are, the more they will reveal some subconscious thoughts.

When Cliff threw cards, he didn’t threw them completely, but threw one suit in one direction.

The hearts and spades are thrown farther, the diamonds are closer, and the grass and flowers are thrown in front of him.

Sheriff Xiao talked for a long time, finally noticed the boredom of this guy, and glanced at him.

Cliff raised his eyebrows, gave the sheriff a face, stopped his movements, brushed a few grasses in front of him with his fingers, and then leaned against the back of the sofa, changing into a comfortable position.

Xiao raised his voice and said: “So, that’s it? Everyone, go back to your room first, and my police officers will go over to take notes. Remember, where you stayed this night, wait there, don’t change places at will. Thank you for your cooperation.”

After he finished speaking, he clapped his hands.

People in the garden stood up one after another, and the police dispersed into the crowd and arranged for everyone to return to the room.

Two of them went to Yan Suizhi’s side.

Joe beckoned, “Let’s go, the four of us lived together last night. Come with us.” The

police officer nodded and followed them to the elevator, while briefly asking everyone’s identity.

Gu Yan simply said to him, “Southern Cross’s trial lawyer, this is my intern.” The

police officer was a little surprised. He glanced at the front building and asked, “Interns? I heard from the manager just now, you guys Didn’t the law firm’s interns and barristers arrange to live in that building?”

“Yes,” Joe said, “but they are my good friends, and I asked them to live together last night without anyone drinking. .”

The police officer nodded and jotting down on the page, “Is it convenient for you to talk about your original room?”

Gu Yan said, “I live in 701, he lives in 406.” The

police officer was taken aback, “Wait, 406? It was the 406 who said there was a change last night?”

Yan Suizhi nodded, “That’s right.”

“That doesn’t rule out that the change last night was directed at you,” the police officer said.

At this point, Joe seemed to suddenly remember something and wondered: “Yes, this is really strange, why did you happen to be staring at your room? You are just an intern…”
