Spy Family

Mei Wangzhen brought back a special microcomputer and asked after entering the house: "Still no one came to arrest you?"

Lu Linbei shook his head, "They probably want me to escape further."

"But Military Intelligence has learned the news."

"You were 'fired' from the Mei family, can you still get news?"

"It won't spread about me until tomorrow morning. Save your energy and don't chase me and ask questions. This lawyer -" Mei Wangzhen weighed the microcomputer in his hand, "is really what you said. sharp?"

"Remember that time I almost got court-martialed? He was the one who saved me."

"But... forget it, there is no other way anyway, I can only try my luck." Mei Wangzhen put the microcomputer on the table, started it, and sat next to it, becoming an honest spectator.

"Hello." A magnetic male voice came from the microcomputer.

"Is it Lawyer No. 34?"

"It's me. Well, a repeat customer. I remember you, Lu Linbei, and I can retrieve your case file now."

"No need, that case is over. I have a new case to entrust to you, because I remember you said that in addition to military cases, you are also good at criminal defense, especially homicide cases."

"Yes, criminal defense is not my main business, but I also have a lot of experience. Among the sixty-seven practicing lawyers, I rank seventh in the number of cases and the fifth in the winning rate. If you want to find the first in the winning rate I can introduce you to a lawyer."

"I need you, Number Thirty-Four."

"It's a great honor. Tell me, what other case have you encountered?"

"About four hours ago, I was invited to the council office building to prepare to meet with the chairman. In the reception room, we heard the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground in the office, so we went to check and found that chairman Huang Tongke collapsed. He died on the ground. The only person standing next to him was my wife, named Chen Manchi. She stretched out her hands as if to pinch someone. Then we left, and I sent her to stay at a friend's house temporarily. When I come back here, I will invite you over. "

The microcomputer did not respond. Lu Linbei waited for a while and asked, "Lawyer No. 34, are you still there?"

The microcomputer still didn't respond, so Mei Wangzhen said: "The words 'Chairman fell to the ground and died' scared him away."

"He is a pure program, it should not be..."

The lawyer finally spoke again, "Sorry, I need to transfer the case in hand to other lawyers and focus all my computing power on your case."

"Do you accept the commission?"

"Of course, this is the only murder case of a chairman in more than 300 years. I will never miss such a rare opportunity. Let me confirm first that you and your wife Chen Manchi entrusted me to be your agent at the same time, right? "

"That's right."

"Very good, please contact her now. I will send the agreement to her for her to sign and confirm."

Lawyer No. 34 looked so excited that Mei Wangzhen couldn't help but cast a doubtful look. Lu Linbei was also a little surprised and reminded: "I need you to exonerate our husband and wife."

"Of course, every lawyer wants to win."

"But you haven't analyzed the case yet..."

“Analyzing the case itself is part of the service, so please sign first.”

"Okay." Lu Linbei remembered the weirdness of No. 34 and still chose to trust him, so he contacted Chen Manchi through Ru Hongshang, briefly explained the situation, and finally said: "Get the microcomputer ready and sign a commission agreement. "

"Will lawyers help us? They are all council procedures."

"He has helped me before and I believe he will give his best this time as well."

"Okay, I believe you, let him contact Ms. Ru."

No. 34 was quite anxious. While contacting Ru Hongshang, he showed the entrustment agreement to Lu Linbei and asked him to sign electronically. After completing it, he said: "Wait a moment, Madam is signing... Okay, Lu Lin Bei, Chen Manchi, from now on, you are my clients, and I will fully represent you in any case involving you two, but you have the right to terminate this commission at any time, do you understand?"

"clear."

"Very good. Now I want to ask you questions, and then go to see Madam..."

Mei Wangzhen interrupted: "You are a program, can't you go directly to Ru Hongshang's home through the Internet?"

"Yes, but this case is quite special. I hope the procedures are impeccable. Lu Linbei, who is this person to you?"

"Hey, I brought you here." Mei Wangzhen said.

"But we don't have any entrustment relationship, so you are an outsider."

Lu Linbei said: "She is not an outsider, she is my best friend and consultant."

"Okay, in that case, she can stay. First of all, one thing must be made clear: Chairman Huang Tongke is indeed dead?"

"He fell to the ground and I judged from experience that he was dead, but I didn't check carefully."

"Chen Manchi was the only one at the scene? And he made a gesture of pinching people?"

"right."

"Are they lovers?"

"My wife? No, no, no, they don't know each other at all. The situation is very complicated. To put it simply, my wife once underwent fusion transformation on Jiazi Star and was implanted with some kind of 'imprint'. A person named Nong Xingwen, You can control any fusion person to do anything through the 'mark'. My wife rushed to King Zhai from thousands of kilometers away and became an unconscious assassin."

"It's really complicated. I've never heard of such a thing. But let's not discuss the 'mark' first. I want to know how Chen Manchi entered the building and saw the chairman himself?"

"I don't know. I didn't ask and I didn't let her tell."

"You didn't ask anything?"

"Well, I didn't let her say anything and sent her directly to Ru Hongshang's house."

"Smart move. How did you leave? Didn't anyone else intercept you?"

"There were two other people at the scene. One was Guan Zhuqian, a Jiazi star. She saw everything but did not intercept. There was also Cheng Toushi, the chairman's assistant. He was sitting in the reception room and also Not moving."

"For four hours, no one came to see you, and no news came out?"

"Yes, as for why, I'm not sure. By the way, I have the video of the time, but unfortunately, I can't read the data." Lu Linbei took out the box and showed the thin-film chip to the lawyer.

"Well, this case is getting more and more interesting. It involves many technical issues."

"Yes, the essence of this case is a technical issue."

"Do you know anyone who has a chip reader?"

"The chip was developed and manufactured by Zhai Wangxing Scientific Research Center. They must have readers. They should be in the Military Intelligence Department of the General Staff Headquarters and in Guanzhuqian."

"Will they lend it to you?"

"Won't."

"Understood. Please wait a few minutes and let me do the calculations."

Regardless of whether the lawyer could hear it or not, Mei Wangzhen said directly: "Do you really want to turn this matter into a public case?"

"Yes, and then reveal all the truth in court."

"What truth? You can't prove it at all. Unless you catch Nong Xingwen, you have to make him admit everything. This is almost impossible."

"Lawyer No. 34 once told me that the core of the defense strategy is not to prove one's innocence, but to prove that there are loopholes in the prosecution's accusations. Exposing the truth is only a side effect. It is my task and has nothing to do with the lawyers."

Mei Wangzhen frowned slightly, "To be honest, I thought you had some strange plan. You actually found a lawyer. It's really 'strange' and completely beyond my expectation."

"It will also exceed Nong Xingwen and Guan Zhuqian's expectations."

"What's the use of that? After all, lawyers are just procedures and are likely to be controlled by the council. As well as Nong Xingwen, everything that exists in the form of procedures will probably not escape his invasion."

"I can't predict the future, so I can only take this step first. At least Manchi and I won't be killed directly on the way to escape."

Mei Wangzhen softened his tone and said, "You are right, there is really no better way."

Lu Linbei continued: "And if we accept legal trial, we can also minimize the impact of the assassination on the Universal Rights Council."

"Isn't your original plan just to sabotage the peace talks and start a war again?"

"That's different. The party that sabotaged the peace talks should be the council, not the Universal Rights Council. Under the current situation, sabotaging the peace talks is a very irresponsible act and will arouse the resentment of a large number of residents."

"You're talking like a politician now."

Lu Linbei smiled and said, "There is nothing we can do about it."

"I almost forgot, you are now the deputy director of the Information and Liaison Department of the General Assembly, the real head of the intelligence agency. Your position is higher than the director of the Military Intelligence Department, right?"

"The General Rights Council pays more attention to intelligence work, and the Information Liaison Department has a relatively high status, so my position has also been raised accordingly."

"Guihai's prophecy actually came true." Mei Wangzhen murmured.

"This has nothing to do with his prophecy, and I'm not that important. It's just a coincidence."

"Nothing is just a coincidence. Tell me, is it really like what Third Uncle said, when you reach the top, you have to spend a lot of energy to build a good relationship with the higher-ups?"

"Well, that's right, it's really important. This should be a very simple thing for you. When you were an ordinary investigator, you knew many big names."

"It's different. What I call dating is actually enjoying the privileges of the Mei family. Like Uncle San and Director Boxue, they are fighting for privileges. There is a huge difference."

"The difference is not that big. One day..."

"One day I will still go to the kings. The task of 'fighting for privileges' will never be with me. Therefore, if you and Chen Manchi are found guilty, I won't be able to help you at all."

"Sister Zhen has done enough to help me now."

Lawyer No. 34 said: "Are you done talking?"

"The chat is over."

"With reference to a large number of relevant cases and my calculations, it is almost impossible for you and your wife to escape guilt in this case. The wisest choice is to plead guilty and then strive for a lighter sentence. There is a 73% chance of escaping the death penalty. , with an 89% probability of being released after twenty years.”

"No, it's either innocence or death penalty. We won't plead guilty and we won't accept it no matter how favorable the conditions are."

"Then there is less than a five percent chance of getting away with it. Be prepared, Lu Linbei, this will be a tough defense. No matter you win or lose, you and your wife will be peeled off. . And I will be recorded in legal history and become an important part of the 'famous case'."
