    【Death of a Lawyer 01】

    At 7:30 the next morning, everyone gathered at the entrance of the cafeteria, used team points to have breakfast together, and then took the elevator to the Law School Course Selection Center on the 6th floor.

    The first echelon with the fastest progress in the library is already very familiar with each other, and Yue Xingwen really met Yu Mingyu, Qin Lang, Chen Muyun and others here.

    Yu Mingyu and Chen Muyun were discussing matters, and Yue Xingwen passed by them and vaguely heard Yu Mingyu say, "You have two law school students in your team, lend us one."

    Yue Xingwen stopped and asked curiously, "Senior Brother Yu, do you want to borrow members of Team X?"

    Yu Mingyu shrugged helplessly: "No way, there are too many science students in our team, and there is no law school. The law school's courses involve lawyers and defense. We are worried that if the professional knowledge is not relevant, it will fail the course."

    Once it fails, it will be rebuilt from the 1st floor, which is too miserable.

    Beside him, Qin Lang came over and persuaded: "Mu Yun, you have many law school classmates, lend them one. After seeing the class schedule last night, Ming Yu was almost bald."

    Yu Mingyu said, "That's right, do me a favor."

    Chen Muyun thought for a while, then looked at the boy beside him: "Senior Brother Xing, are you willing to go?" She is the captain, she can't leave the team by herself, so the a-76 research group of Kyoto University wants to borrow team members, she can only ask graduate students Senior Brother Xing Luo went to help.

    Yue Xingwen was deeply impressed by this senior brother Xing. In the feather ball doubles event of the recent Games, he and Jiang Pingce met the combination of Xing Luo and Chen Muyun in the finals, and was forcibly sent to the Civil Affairs Bureau by Xing Luo. If remember correctly, Senior Brother Xing majored in marriage law.

    Sure enough, Xing Luo said: "I major in marriage law. I only understand the surface of criminal law and economic law. I don't know what the course will involve. If you believe me, I can help."

    Yu Mingyu was overjoyed: "That's great! No matter what Dharma you practice, it's always better than those of us who are blind."

    People around: "..."

    This is not wrong. Ordinary people can only guarantee that they will not commit crimes. The specific legal provisions are really blind. Thinking about the courses of the law school, it is necessary to bring a classmate from the law school.

    Chen Muyun immediately made a decision: "Then let Senior Brother Xing go to the a76 research group as a foreign aid. Ming Yu, do you want to replace one person, or 13 people to join the course?"

    Team x members do not account for the quota of the research group. They can enter the examination room in the form of a fixed team of 12 people + 1 foreign aid, but in this case, Chen Muyun's team from the University of Political Science and Law will become 11 people. To be on the safe side, Yu Mingyu said, "I'll change another person to your group. There are 12 people on both sides into the exam room. Zhou Yu, go to Senior Sister Mu Yun."

    The named junior brother obediently walked over to say hello to Chen Muyun.

    Zhuo Feng leaned into Yue Xingwen's ear and said, "This Zhou Yu is a sophomore in the Philosophy Department. He often reads novels. He should not be weak in reasoning. Yu Mingyu is quite righteous, and he should be replaced by a stronger team member."

    Yue Xingwen nodded: "Well, our team also lacks some majors. If we encounter a business school in the future, we will ask them to borrow someone and see how they "operate" first."

    After the two parties exchange team members, the exchanged person will temporarily join the research group in the form of "x team member" and share the credits and points of the research group.

    After several teams were reorganized, they went to the tablet computer and pressed the course selection button together.

    Familiar information popped up on the screen—

    【Required Course: Death of a Lawyer】

    【College: Law School】

    【Credits: 4】

    [Exam room rules: The maximum number of people in the exam room is 12 (excluding x members)]

    [Course description: A lawyer died mysteriously at night, who would kill the lawyer? 】

    [Exam requirements: find the real murderer within 5 days]

    [Note: The recommended team includes teammates with relevant majors in the law school]

    【Confirm Course Selection: Yes/No】

    Yue Xingwen presses "Yes".

    A mechanical voice sounded in my ear: "The c183 research group has successfully selected the course, and the exam is about to start. Please go to the lounge to prepare."

    Yue Xingwen took his teammates to the empty classroom next to him.

    With the last 5 minutes left until the exam starts at exactly 8:00, Yue Xingwen reminded: "After entering the exam room later, everyone should not act rashly, be careful, pay attention to the details around, maybe there will be clues."

    It was not the first time for the reasoning class, and everyone nodded to show their understanding.

    At 8 o'clock, the exam officially started.

    Yue Xingwen's eyes went dark, and when he regained his vision again, he found himself in a spacious and bright office, not far from a huge floor-to-ceiling window occupying one wall, Yue Xingwen rubbed his eyes, quickly. Walk to the floor-to-ceiling windows.

    In a modern city, standing on the floor-to-ceiling windows can overlook the entire city landscape. Judging from the scenery outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, this building should be located in the bustling city center, surrounded by high-rise buildings. The floor where Yuexing Wendang is located is at least 40 floors above, and the road underfoot can barely be seen clearly. Pedestrians are as small as ants.

    The rent of an office building in the city center is definitely not cheap, not to mention the area of ​​this office is more spacious and luxurious than the president's office that Yue Xingwen saw on TV. There is a row of leather sofas against the wall. In the middle of the room is a solid wood desk with a rotatable leather boss chair. Behind the desk is a row of neat bookshelves with a lot of materials on it.

    Yue Xingwen observed carefully in the office for a while, but found no special clues. Instead, noticed that one of the drawers of the desk was equipped with a combination lock.

    At this moment, the door was pushed open, and a young man walked in. He drank the coffee slowly, raised his eyebrows unexpectedly after seeing Yue Xingwen, and said, "Are you a new intern? ? Don't come into my office casually."

    Yue Xingwen immediately explained: "Sorry, I went wrong..."

    The man sat on the boss chair, and said kindly: "The intern is led by lawyer Lan, you can go to her."

    Yue Xingwen turned around and went out. There were neatly arranged offices next to the wide corridor. He soon saw the room with "Lawyer Lan Yarong" written on the door number, and knocked on the door to enter.

    He thought his teammates were all here, but when he entered the room, he only saw Lan Yarong and Lin Manluo. The two girls met the eyes of Shangyue Xingwen and immediately greeted them: "Xingwen!"

    Yue Xingwen asked "perplexed", "Where are the others?"

    Lan Yarong shook her head: "I don't know either. I just looked at the list of law firms. Only you and Manluo are our law firm's interns. The names of the others are not here."

    Lin Manluo hurriedly said, "Ask where everyone is on the research group channel."

    Yue Xingwen opened the research group channel, but found that an x ​​was drawn in the input box—the research group channel was disabled.

    Lan Yarong also discovered this: "Disabled? You can't communicate through the research group channel. Is it because everyone is scattered in different places, do you need to find clues separately?"

    Last time, in the construction site decryption course of the School of Architecture, everyone lived together and could discuss at any time. Any student who found a clue could immediately share it with his teammates. Now that they are separated, the difficulty has increased significantly.

    Yue Xingwen was silent for a moment, then said: "It's hard to go out to find people in such a big city, let's stay calm and sort out the clues on our side. The name of the course is "Death of a Lawyer", and the deceased is probably a law firm people."

    Lan Yarong nodded in agreement, rotated the laptop 90 degrees, and the screen was facing Yue Xingwen: "There is a folder on my computer desktop, which contains the information of the law firm, as well as the list of all lawyers, you can read it first. Look."

    Yue Xingwen opened the file and checked it carefully.

    The law firm is called "Minghui Law Firm". The founder, Liu Minghui, graduated from Beijiang University of Political Science and Law, a top-ranking university in China, and obtained a doctorate in law. He is quite well-known in the industry. This private law firm has been established for five years, has fought many well-known lawsuits, and attracted many talents.

    At present, Minghui Law Firm has 10 professional lawyers who specialize in different fields of law such as criminal law, economic law, and marriage law. Each lawyer has a separate office and is equipped with 2~3 assistants.

    Lan Yarong is also a partner lawyer of Minghui Law Firm, mainly handling cases related to marriage law.

    Yue Xingwen had a strong memory of "unforgettable" since he was a child. He quickly scanned the documents and memorized the names of all the members of the law firm.

    The lawyer saw in the office just now is named Zhou Ziyang, 30 years old this year, mainly in charge of criminal cases.

    Yue Xingwen had a relationship with him. After seeing the photos in the documents, he couldn't help but glance at him. This person also graduated from Beijiang University of Political Science and Law, and he has a relationship with Liu Minghui, the founder of Minghui Law Firm.

    At present, it is not known which lawyer will die, and Yue Xingwen has no clue, so he has to write down the information first. After memorizing the documents, he reminded: "Senior Sister Lan, do you have a USB flash drive? Copy the documents of the law firm. When you see Ke Shaobin later, you can give the documents to him for backup and let other students take a look."

    "Okay." Lan Yarong nodded and found a USB flash drive to copy the data.

    Outside the window, the clouds on the horizon are dyed golden and red by the light of the setting sun. Through the floor-to-ceiling windows here, you can enjoy the most beautiful sunset.

    When it was time to get off work, and there was still no news from the other teammates, Yue Xingwen asked, "What shall we do next?"

    Lan Yarong said: "The library told me that Minghui Law Firm's treatment is very good, the interns are provided with board and lodging, and the accommodation is arranged in the single apartment opposite the office building. You two live in 512 and 513 of Building A respectively. Go back to the dorm and rest."

    Yue Xingwen thought about it and said, "Go back to the dormitory, maybe you can meet other people."

    The deceased did not appear, and they are now investigating everywhere aimlessly, and they will only slam around like headless flies. Not to mention wasting time, what they found is likely to be useless information.

    Therefore, Yue Xingwen decided to find his teammates first.

    Just as they walked to the elevator together, Yue Xingwen suddenly caught sight of a tall figure out of the corner of his eyes. He immediately walked away lightly and looked in through the crack of the door. He saw that the lawyer named Zhou Ziyang just now, Holding the phone, standing in the corner of the stairwell, talking to people in a low voice, with obvious impatience on his expression.

    "Enough, I don't want to talk nonsense with you anymore! If you don't agree with the court's decision, you can go to appeal, but I promise, the result of the appeal is the same! If you want to waste time, you can do whatever you want."

    He hung up the phone with a sullen face, then "felt" a cigarette out of his pocket and lit it, took a few irritable puffs, smothered the cigarette butt, and then walked quickly towards the elevator.

    Yue Xingwen immediately dodged away.

    Zhou Ziyang regained his calm expression, walked to the elevator door, and pressed the button.

    Lan Yarong asked politely, "Attorney Zhou is going to get off work?"

    Zhou Ziyang put on a friendly face: "Well, go home and rest."

    With a ding sound, the elevator stopped in front of him. Zhou Ziyang made a gentlemanly "please" gesture to let the girls go first. Lan Yarong and Lin Manluo entered the elevator before he followed. Yue Xingwen walked behind him. , looked at his back silently, and unexpectedly found that there seemed to be a bruise on his wrist.

    This lawyer Zhou should be the key figure in this course. Who was he calling just now? Did he mention that "if you are not satisfied, you can appeal", is it because the verdict of the case he once took over was unsatisfactory?

    Yue Xingwen's mind was spinning rapidly.

    It was not until the elevator stopped on the first floor that he recovered his thoughts and walked out with his two teammates.

    At the same time, the Criminal Police Brigade.

    When it was time to get off work, Jiang Pingce, who was in uniform, pushed open the door of the office and saw Ke Shaobin coming out from next door. The other party nervously adjusted his glasses and said in a low voice, "Pingce, your clothes...are you a policeman?"

    Jiang Pingce nodded: "Intern police officer, how about you?"

    Ke Shaobin said, "I'm a member of the Criminal Police Network Investigation Division."

    Jiang Pingce frowned and looked around: "Have you seen Xingwen?"

    Ke Shaobin shook his head: "I just looked at the personnel list. Qin Miao is a staff member of the trace identification department."

    As soon as she finished speaking, a short-haired girl in a professional suit skirt and high heels walked down the stairs. After seeing them, she immediately accelerated her steps: "What's the matter? What about the others?"

    Jiang Pingce said: "It may be that everyone has been assigned different identities, and the police force is just the three of us."

    In the course of the School of Architecture, everyone became a construction worker and lived on the construction site to solve puzzles. This case is obviously not that simple. Jiang Pingce thought for two seconds and whispered to Ke Shaobin, "First find out the whereabouts of all the team members."
