Chapter 112 Plan A and Plan B
Cui Jing returned to China after many twists and turns, and the journey was surprisingly smooth. However, she did not sleep well. It was past three in the afternoon when Cui Jing, Fan Ci'en, and Zhang Ye landed at Tiandu Airport.
As we left the airport, the zero-degree air slapped us in the face.
Cui Jing was already very sleepy, wrapped in a soft cashmere coat and scarf, with eyes lowered and silent. The cashmere coat had a hood attached, and the entire chest was arc-shaped and opened very low, revealing the thin close-fitting base layer underneath.
The cashmere scarf with the brand logo printed on it is not wide, and it barely covers the chest, but it seems to be reluctant to wear it, so it is better not to wear it. It seems to visually guide people to pay attention to the feminine beauty that rises and falls slightly with the breathing of the chest.
It doesn't match and it's cold.
Alpha looked once. And again.
Compared to Cui Jing, the half-differentiated Beta, Alpha was dressed more lightly, just like the jokes on the Internet, resistant to roughness and wear, destined to work. Fan Ci'en grabbed Cui Jing's arm under her sleeve, dragged a piece of luggage, and stared at the oncoming passengers with a bad look.
"Who prepared these clothes?"
Fan Ci'en felt unhappy as soon as she saw the cashmere coat. It was so cold in China, with a temperature of zero degrees. She didn't know if the person who prepared the clothes was trying to "please" her. The clothes he sent were expensive and beautiful, but not warm enough.
Zhang Ye thought she was satisfied. How beautiful it was. "Sister Fan, my employee prepared this. She is from the Department of Visual Media Arts and graduated from University A. This is the show model for the spring line of brand S."
Objectively speaking, Cui Jing does look good in her outfit.
"It's so cold, why don't you wear some show shorts and walk around the street fashionably?"
Fan Ci'en pulled Cui Jing closer, feeling both happy and ashamed. She felt ashamed that she should be worried about her wife's health, but she felt so happy just because she was so close.
"Go to my house first. Your house may not be safe now."
He turned to Zhang Ye and said, "Go home. Don't follow me."
Zhang Ye was about to open his mouth: ...
OK. He left.
"By the way, where is the lawyer? Zhang Ye. The person you contacted."
"Sister Xiao Fan, Lawyer Jin has been waiting at your house for half an hour."
Fan Ci'en nodded, "Okay, you can really go now." Turning around, "Madam, Lawyer Jin is already waiting at my house. He is the best lawyer."
.
After listening to the current audio, Lawyer Jin said:
“I understand your demands and all the evidence you have. Currently, there is basically no complete chain of evidence.
Let’s talk about the crime of intentional injury first.
According to what you said, Zhai Yang was not the one who did it directly, so they need to prove that Xiao Wu, who did it, and Zhai Yang had an employment relationship. If they used cash and it was a verbal contract, it would be even harder to prove. Moreover, Xiao Wu had a direct conflict with your boyfriend because of his brother, so they can easily say that this was an escalation of the conflict between Xiao Wu and your boyfriend.
Where's your boyfriend? I need more testimony."
"I... don't know. He ran away and his whereabouts are still unknown." Cui Jing had no idea about Xue Yijie's whereabouts, which was why she urgently needed to call the police.
Lawyer Jin looked up at her in surprise. Cui Jing sat on the chair tiredly, her eyes slightly dim.
"There is no news about Xue Yijie, one of the parties involved...it would be more appropriate to report a missing person case.
As for you and Zhai Yang, given the fact that you and he were married before, if there are no special circumstances in this incident...it is very likely to be defined as an emotional dispute. Even if the police report is accepted, it is only detention, and the maximum detention without evidence is 24 hours. "
"A detention without evidence can only last for 24 hours," Fan Ci'en spun the pen in a circle, with a stiff and obedient smile on his lips. "But you can come more often. Don't worry, ma'am."
This is a completely... fake smile.
Cui Jing's hand was covered by another hand. She looked down and didn't move. The hand gradually tightened.
"We can hire a private detective first, preferably one who knows..." Lawyer Jin's pupils narrowed when he saw this scene. This is too ambiguous. "Know some technical means, Ms. Cui. Ms. Cui?"
"She didn't get enough rest." Fan Ci'en answered with a kind smile and concern.
Cui Jing seemed distracted, her eyes wandering. She seemed to be thinking about something, but also seemed to be just in a daze. Lawyer Jin couldn't help but feel distressed. She had just experienced such misfortune and had not had a good rest. She had to spend energy to send a criminal with a certain social status to prison. It was too difficult. Fortunately, someone could help her.
Lawyer Jin said sympathetically:
"Ms. Cui, why don't you take a rest first? I'll come back tomorrow."
Cui Jing looked up as if awakened, her eyes focused on her: "It's okay, let's continue. What you just said is that now is not the time to call the police immediately, but to investigate and compile evidence as soon as possible?"
"Correct."
"Thank you for your advice." Cui Jing pulled back her hand, "Fan Ci'en, send your bodyguard to work on the field for me."
"What kind of field work are you doing? Why don't you take a rest?"
"Put a sack on Zhai Yang tonight."
Let's have a fight first to cool down.
"Besides, I need to go out later to get a temporary ID card and a phone card. I want to see if Xue Yijie has left any hints."
By the way, I also need to find Wang Xiaoming.
"Do you like him that much?"
Cui Jing said in a serious tone: "He is missing. His broken hand hasn't healed yet, and he ran away again. We don't know whether he is dead or alive, and I can't call the police right now." She tried to be calm:
"And my cat, any news?"
Speaking of cats, Fan Ci'en was also a little annoyed. She didn't know where that idiot Zhai Yang put the cat. She assured her wife that it was a trivial matter, but after a whole day, there was no news of even a hair of the cat.
"I'm still checking."
Lawyer Jin stood up in time and said, "Then I'll go to work first. We'll contact you if there's any new progress."
The more she looked, the more she felt something was wrong.
Not only was the relationship between Cui Jing and Ms. Fan weird, but it was also because Cui Jing was not in the right state.
Her law firm charges a high hourly wage, which invisibly screens out many clients, so most of the people who come to her for legal aid are people with good financial conditions and good psychological quality. They are usually well-educated and know how to communicate with others, so it is relatively easy to communicate with them.
But precisely because of this, when the client encounters major changes or setbacks, he or she will often suppress his or her emotions deep in his or her heart, as if nothing had happened.
It's hard for me to even notice that something is wrong.
"Ms. Fan, if necessary, please pay more attention to her mental state and ask a doctor for psychological counseling if necessary. After all, you know what she has just been through."
Lawyer Jin gave a reminder before leaving.
In the afternoon, Cui Jing brought several tall and muscular Beta bodyguards to visit Wang Xiaoming. Wang Xiaoming lived in a quiet villa complex in a busy city. Here, Cui Jing got an unexpected answer.
"Golf training camp?"
She was received by a foreign housekeeper with a charming voice, who was Wang Xiaoming's colloquial language teacher. "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you. That kid was so bad at playing basketball that he was thrown into a closed camp and is now undergoing devilish training."
"Did she say when she would be back?"
"I don't know about that. I'll let Miss Wang know when she comes back."
"Okay, excuse me."
Then, Cui Jing learned that her "play partner" Chen Shurong was on vacation at Xueshen Mountain for three months. It had only been half a month since Chen Shurong returned from the hot spring resort and left for Xueshen Mountain, so her return date was uncertain.
The direct hotel number at Xueshen Mountain didn’t work, so Cui Jing got the backup base station number at the foot of the mountain and called: “I’m looking for Chen Shurong.”
The staff told Cui Jing:
"There has been a blizzard on the mountain for a few days. In this weather, the outside world was supposed to contact the base station at the foot of the mountain, and then the base station and the hotel communicated. However, due to the influence of the blizzard and weather and other unknown factors, this communication line seems to have problems. The equipment is waiting for maintenance. Even in an emergency, we can only wait until the snow eases a bit and climb up manually."
"We apologize for the inconvenience. If you have any questions, please let us know first. Once the line is stable or the communication is restored, we will convey it to Ms. Chen immediately."
"Please."
Cui Jing hung up the phone after listening to this.
Extraordinarily calm.
She doesn't think any coincidence is a coincidence.
She went to the police station to apply for a temporary ID card, report the loss and apply for a phone card, and logged back into the Big Three accounts one by one.
Wang Xiaoming had sent her a message about the training camp on WeChat, and there was a red missed voice call icon; Mrs. Chen did not send any new private messages, but the IP address was updated in the circle of friends. As expected, no one answered the phone number for Xue Yijie.
Cui Jing found Lawyer Jin’s phone number and called him.
"Hmm." She cleared her throat. "Lawyer Jin, based on your experience, is there even a slight chance of winning this case? Have you ever had a similar case?"
Lawyer Jin is surprised that she hasn’t taken a break yet.
"Sometimes it is a special case. I am not sure about the future. Madam, you are a Beta. Nowadays, ABO frequently collects and amends laws. No one knows how they will be revised in the future. As a fellow Beta, I naturally hope that you can get a better and more fair result and let the defendant be severely punished. Besides... you are not in a desperate situation."
Lawyer Jin paused and said in a gentle and persuasive tone:
"If there is some relationship support... it will be more effective. Your friend, Ms. Fan, is very positive."
After returning, she looked up more information about the personnel involved in the case. Fan Ci'en should be able to contribute to the acquisition of a lot of evidence.
Cui Jing certainly understood her hint and decided to make use of the resources at hand.
"I haven't contacted my other friends yet. I think it will take a little more time."
"The sooner the better. Zhai Yang is probably also making corresponding preparations." Lawyer Jin was afraid that she would be upset, so he added:
“In fact, for some plaintiffs, winning the case may not necessarily bring the most favorable outcome… For example, in a fraud case, the plaintiff wants the money to be recovered, not the defendant to be penniless and sit in jail.
I had a case of wounding someone, and the defendant was sentenced to six months in prison and compensation. The same month he was released from prison, he was brought to court again, charged with embezzlement, using his position to illegally take the company's finances for himself. The second trial sentenced him to two years in prison.
My client breathed a sigh of relief.
The plaintiff was an investor of the defendant and invested in the defendant's family-owned factory. As a shareholder, he discovered that the defendant had made several remittances for personal materials.
Unlike state-owned enterprises, small family-owned companies do not have strict audits, so they can accept remittances from private accounts. However, once investors are introduced and the company becomes a listed company, its behavior becomes illegal. "
"This plaintiff is acquainted with my client."
The lawyer said it most directly: if you can't get to the A+ ending through Plan A, you can find a roundabout way to get to the A+ ending through Plan B.
Her goal is to get justice for herself, or...
Revenge on her ex-husband.
As long as it's an A+ ending, you can seek justice through legitimate means or take revenge through other means.
"I see."
Cui Jing leaned against the wall, her voice a little hoarse, as if the change in weather had made her voice uncomfortable. "I understand, Lawyer Jin."
