"Should I accept the negotiation?" Lu Linbei already had great trust in this procedural lawyer.

"From the perspective of interests, I suggest you accept negotiations, but you have to know when enough is enough. It is best for me to reach an agreement with the prosecutor on your behalf, and you don't even need to come forward."

"Is there any other angle?"

"Based on our conversation, I judge that you have a strong curiosity about the facts."

"certainly."

"Then from the perspective of curiosity, you should insist on accepting the trial, because many documents, including the battle damage report you want to see, and the results of your two tests, were prepared for the trial. Giving up the trial means It is not necessary to give up the right to know about these documents, but the prosecutor will most likely impose conditions."

"And I have to accept it?"

"Accept, the most favorable result for you is to settle with the prosecutor, keep no record of the case, and retain your military rank, position, and all corresponding benefits."

Lu Linbei thought for a while, "I can give up my right to know, but I will continue to investigate the truth in my own way. If the prosecutor wants me to make a promise to give up the investigation, I will not accept it."

The procedural lawyer will also laugh sarcastically, "I am an experienced lawyer. Although I do not have all the powers of a law enforcement agency, I am at least familiar with the legal provisions and can do some superficial investigations if necessary. Although you have the rank of major, you seem to have never held any position in the army. How do you want to investigate?"

"Funny, isn't it?"

"You are my client, and for your own benefit, I want to be honest with you: Yes, your idea is ridiculous."

"That being the case, the prosecution has no reason not to agree to let a major do something ridiculous."

If silence means being in a daze, Lawyer No. 34 was in a daze. After a few seconds, he said: "Your logic is strange, but it is impeccable."

"Are you still willing to negotiate with the prosecutors on my behalf?"

"As long as you are my client, I will represent your interests anytime and anywhere. You need to sign a power of attorney, please read the content carefully."

A document appeared on the microcomputer monitor. Although it was just a power of attorney, it was five pages long and contained more than thirty clauses. Lu Linbei had to sign at the designated position on each page.

"Very good, please wait." The monitor screen returned to nothing. Lawyer No. 34 obviously didn't like to "show his face."

Lu Linbei knew the efficiency of procedures best, so he was not surprised at all when the lawyer spoke again three minutes later.

"The negotiations are going well. You can take a look at the details of the settlement agreement and then sign it."

The agreement was longer than the authorization letter, with twenty-seven pages. Lu Linbei could only read it roughly once. His request was met. The prosecutor did not prohibit Lu Linbei from continuing to investigate the truth, but only stated that Lu Linbei should not violate any military regulations.

"I can't keep the agreement?" Lu Linbei asked one of the questions.

"Yes, the agreement is that the prosecutor will keep one copy and I will keep one copy. You cannot keep it, but Zhai Wangxing's legal committee will record this matter. If you have any disputes with the military over this case in the future, I will automatically become your defense counsel and may invoke the agreement as evidence.”

"I guess I should trust you."

"You should believe me. I am like your safe. If any items are lost, you will lose the qualification of 'safe deposit box'. In the history of Zhai Wangxing, seven procedural lawyers have been disqualified. I will never be the next one." ."

Lu Linbei signed each page with an electronic pen, "Okay, what next?"

"The agency agreement between you and me ends here. You will be free in five minutes at most. We don't say 'goodbye' in this business, so I wish you a happy life."

"I wish you... a happy debate and every victory."

The lawyer disappeared, and Lu Linbei actually missed him a little.

Only two minutes passed, the door was opened, and a man who came in, Wang Zhen, with a serious face, stood a few steps away, looking Lu Linbei up and down, but said nothing.

"Do I have any questions? Sister Zhen." Lu Linbei asked with a smile.

"I don't know how you managed to get the military to drop the prosecution, but you haven't regained my trust yet."

"When did I lose trust from Sister Zhen?"

"When you claim to have amnesia."

"I now understand that the term amnesia is not accurate. In fact, I don't have any relevant memories."

"This won't restore my trust in you."

"For the time being, I have no other way to prove my innocence."

"No matter what, you're free."

"Why didn't someone from the military release me?" Lu Linbei was a little surprised by this.

"Because you were seconded to Military Intelligence."

Lu Linbei was stunned for a moment, then said: "My military rank has been promoted again?"

Mei Wangzhen couldn't help but laugh, "How can you still be happy? Major Lu, don't dream about being promoted. It's already a miracle that you can gain freedom so quickly."

"That's not enough. I have to prove my innocence."

"What if, as you suspected before, you were unknowingly used by the Longitude and Latitude? Can this be called innocence?"

"Sitting in this room, I have been recalling, thinking, and repeatedly searching my digital brain. I have come to the conclusion that I have not lost my memory, I just lost my sense of time. As for whether this is the movement of the hands and feet of the Latitude and Latitude, or There is a problem with the network line, I haven’t determined it yet.”

Mei Wangzhen turned around and walked out, "Don't even think about asking me to help you again. Just a few words like this won't gain my trust."

Lu Linbei followed, "Where's Ye Zi?"

"Why, you failed to convince me, so you want to attack him?"

"Sister Zhen, you can rest assured that I will not try to convince anyone until evidence is found."

"Hmm."

Lu Yezhou was sitting in the shuttle with a normal look on his face. He did not mention trust or distrust at all and said with a smile: "Old Bei, you are really amazing. You were promoted to major in one second, you were judged in one second, and you were free in the next. Others may not encounter one thing in their lifetime, but you have experienced it all at once.”

"Want to trade with me?"

Lu Yezhou immediately shook his head, "A strong person must first have a strong heart, at least able to withstand the ups and downs. I can't. I can withstand promotion. Trial? Why don't you let me die on the battlefield?"

"There was no trial and I settled with the military."

Lu Yezhou looked at Mei Wangzhen, "Did you hear that? Sister Zhen, Lao Bei said that he had reconciled with the military, as if the military was just a small businessman."

"He's not lying. What's wrong with taking it easy? Does he have to be so frightened and trembling like you?" He was still driving the shuttle out of the hatch and into space.

Lu Linbei didn't ask where he was going, just bickering with Lu Yezhou for fun.

The three arrived at another spacecraft and took it to a space station on King Zhai, where they would wait for the next order.

At the space station, Lu Linbei saw an official transfer order. He was loaned to the Military Intelligence Agency indefinitely, with no reason and no specific tasks.

Lu Linbei tried to enter the Internet to investigate who interfered with the lawyer assignment process and sent a lawyer that the military did not like to him as his defender. It turned out that he had become "persona non grata" in the digital world.

As soon as he entered the network, he was identified and located. Although he was not blocked, everything he did was recorded.

He has lost the ability to remain invisible online.

The research center led by Dr. Zeng still has some real skills. After several data "extractions", even if the data is half true and half false, they still made many achievements based on it. One of them is that they can easily and accurately identify Lu Linbei. .

The investigation that Lu Linbei wanted to conduct was already in dire straits before it even started.

For three days in a row, he was idle and had freedom, but had nowhere to go. Mei Wangzhen and Lu Yezhou did not appear again, and he could only continue to wait for the "next order."

He frantically searched for public information on the Internet and analyzed it one by one, just to fill his boring time.

The war between King Zhai and the Longitude is still ongoing. The network invasion was not made public. According to the description in the news, it was still the "residual forces" of the King Zhai interstellar fleet surrounding the Longitude, and victory was just around the corner.

When Mei Wangzhen showed up again, Lu Linbei had fallen into a sea of ​​invalid information and couldn't extricate himself. He knew that he was over-analyzing, but he couldn't stop.

"You've rested for three days, why are you even more embarrassed than before?" Mei Wangzhen asked.

"Really?" Lu Linbei raised his hand and touched his face, "I don't feel it."

"That's because you've never looked in the mirror. Forget it, don't talk about this and get ready to go with me."

"We're finally going back to King Zhai." Lu Linbei let out a sigh of relief, feeling that the bad mood was caused by this space station.

"How does not being able to access the Internet affect you so much? You've been staying away from machines for the past few years, and it seems to be fine."

"No, no, it has nothing to do with the Internet. I am..." Lu Linbei suddenly realized that he was a bystander and could see more clearly that he felt pain because he could not be invisible on the Internet, so he used invalid information and over-analysis to numb him. Own.

"This is a withdrawal reaction." Mei Wangzhen said.

"But……"

"It's our fault. Everyone wants to use your ability to do something. I say don't go too far, but I am the one who exploits you the most."

"It was a special moment of life and death."

"What humans are best at is finding reasons for their actions, and they never fail. What are you talking about? Pack your things and come with me."

Lu Linbei didn't have much, so he stuffed everything into a box, carried it in his hand, and followed Mei Wangzhen out.

"Have you contacted your family?" Mei Wangzhen asked as they walked on the road.

"Ah, I forgot." Lu Linbei's only family member is his wife. In the past three days, he was so focused on meaningless data analysis that he forgot her for the first time.

"You can no longer access the Internet no matter what. Just treat yourself as an ordinary person. No matter how big the danger is, you must use ordinary people's methods to solve it."

"Danger? Aren't we going back to King Zhai?"

The space station is much smaller than the Longitude and Latitude, and there are many pedestrians on the streets, mostly military personnel.

Mei Wangzhen turned around and said, "Old Bei, from now on, you will be the military liaison officer seconded to the Military Intelligence Department. Follow me to work in Zhao Wangxing. I'm afraid I won't be able to return to Zhai Wangxing for a long time."

Lu Linbei was surprised.

Mei Wangzhen smiled and said: "The good news is that Chen Manchi has boarded the spaceship and she is willing to accompany you to King Zhao."
