    "Name."

    "Li Xuan."

    "The ID number is..." The young policeman on the opposite side reported a series of numbers.

    "right."

    "Do you know Zhao Jizhe?"

    "I know." Li Xuan frowned, with a bad feeling in his heart, "Can you tell me what happened first?"

    "Now I'm asking you, answer my question, what's your relationship with Zhao Jizhe?"

    Li Xuan looked at him for two seconds, but did not answer.

    "say!"

    "What? I have been convicted now?" Li Xuan asked coldly, "Impossible, I think at least you don't have any evidence of my crime. Of course, it is impossible for me, a law-abiding citizen, to do anything illegal.About indiscipline, I thought, now I should be questioned instead of interrogated?"

    Li Xuan crossed his hands and leaned on the back of the chair, reminding lightly: "You didn't issue me the "Inquiry Notice" and went directly to my company. This shouldn't be in line with your business procedures, right? Coming here rashly will damage my reputation.I don’t need to pursue the adverse effects of the incident, but I think I have the right to know why I came here. Police officer, I have cooperated very well.”

    The young policeman was a little unconvinced and wanted to argue. The policeman next to him gently pulled his elbow and said something. He glanced at Li Xuan, snorted and went out. After a while, a gray-haired man came in.

    "Officer Zhang." The man next to him called him that.

    He nodded, took a look at the transcript, and said kindly: "Young man, you are very experienced."

    "Ordinary citizens, mastering a little basic legal knowledge can better protect their rights and interests."

    "It's good to have this awareness." The police officer surnamed Zhang pulled out his chair and sat down. "The thing is, Xiao Xia may have been in a hurry and didn't make it clear just now. At 4:27 this afternoon, near the central square, Bo YangAt the junction of Yanhui Road and Yanhui Road, a man named Zhao Jizhe wounded someone with a knife and then fled..."

    "What's the name of the wounded?" Li Xuan interrupted him, frowning, "Li Minge?"

    The policeman shook his head: "Mr. Li was only slightly injured, and his wife, Shu Xin, was more seriously injured."

    Li Xuan felt his brain go blank for a moment, and his Adam's apple moved slightly: "When I was brought here just now, it was said that it was an intentional homicide, Shu Xin..."

    "The victim is still being rescued in the hospital." Officer Zhang said with a solemn expression, "But the crime scene was very cruel. He was stabbed fourteen times in a row. Witnesses also said that the suspect was accompanied by very violent words during the attack. It was initially determined as intentional homicide.more appropriate."

    By the time Chu Tianheng and Song Wen arrived with their lawyers, Li Xuan's questioning had already ended.

    "Are you okay?" Upon seeing Li Xuan, several people hurried forward.

    "It's okay." Li Xuan turned around and shook hands with Police Officer Zhang, "If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

    "Okay. Thank you for your cooperation. Xiaoxia and the others were too impatient today. After all, the case happened in the crowded area of the central square, and the Spring Festival is approaching. The social impact is very bad. The victim's family has been accusing you, and the emotions are very intense."

    He remembered that the victim and Li Xuan were adopted, and paused for a moment: "Of course, he doesn't have any evidence, we will definitely investigate clearly. In short, it is out of urgency to appease the victim and find out as soon as possible.Only when you think about the case will you come directly to the door. Please forgive me if there is anything inappropriate."

    Li Xuan twitched the corner of his mouth reluctantly, and nodded: "Yes, I understand."

    "If there are any new developments in the past few days, we will continue to contact you. I hope you will not leave N City in the near future." Officer Zhang signaled him to leave a contact information of his own, "If you know the whereabouts of Zhao Jizhe, pleaseReport to us as soon as possible."

    Li Xuan was silent for a moment: "I will."

    After leaving the police station and briefly explaining the situation to Chu Tianheng and Song Wen, Li Xuan went home directly.Sheng Min was preparing supper. The chicken soup wonton prepared tonight, when he opened the kitchen door, he could smell the rich aroma mixed with Chinese yam and chestnut.

    Li Xuan walked over slowly and hugged him from behind, Sheng Min was startled, and immediately laughed: "It's early today."

    Touching Li Xuan's cold hand, he held it to his lips and breathed lightly: "Why is it so cold?"

    His gentle eyebrows and eyes are indescribably beautiful under the light, and the white steam rising from the side leaves fine water droplets on the glass, a beautiful world of smoke and fire.

    "Sheng Min." Li Xuan felt that his heart was numb from the cold, and finally started to bounce back. He called his name and took a deep breath, "In the afternoon, Zhao Jizhe stabbed Shu Xin."

    After eating half a bowl of wontons, his body gradually warmed up, and Sheng Min added another bowl of soup for him.

    "Shu Xin, are you seriously injured?"

    "It should be. It is still being rescued. I don't know the specific situation." Li Xuan lowered his eyes and stirred the chestnuts at the bottom of the bowl with a spoon.

    Sheng Min pursed his lips: "Li Mingge thinks you ordered Zhao Jizhe?"

    "He may not really think so, it's just that Shu Xin was injured, and he was anxious, so he must be grabbing at random." Li Xuan could see clearly, "Besides, I am involved with both of them, even if he doesn't identify me,It's normal for the police to find me, so don't worry."

    Sheng Min sighed lightly, Li Xuan said in a low voice, "It's okay."

    "Then what should we do next?" Sheng Min held his hand.

    "Nothing to do. If you want to ask me, I will go."

    Li Xuan got up, walked around the table, sat next to Sheng Min and held his shoulders: "Tomorrow morning, I will ask the senior to send me the laptop. I will be at home for the past few days. Tell the theater not to go to the rehearsal yet."Come on, stay with me."

    "Am I with you, or are you with me?" Sheng Min frowned and looked at him, "Are you afraid that Zhao Jizhe will come to trouble me?"

    "It's all the same... I don't know what else to do. Before he is arrested, I will watch over you for peace of mind." Li Xuan touched his face, "Okay?"

    Sheng Min hummed, thought about it and asked him again: "I'll call Director Yin later to ask for leave. If Zhao Jizhe is arrested, you..."

    Li Xuan didn't answer for a moment, he finished the remaining soup in silence, got up and went into the kitchen, and put the dishes into the sink.Long Jiu spoke slowly, without much hesitation: "I won't care about him anymore, no matter why he went crazy to kill Shu Xin, maybe he thinks it's for me, but I don't admit it...so I don't careFeelings of guilt because this whole thing has nothing to do with me."

    He supported the sink with his hands, lowered his head slightly, and didn't see much emotion on his face: "For me, there will never be anything like, 'I don't kill Boren, but Boren died because of me'If I don’t like anyone, I will solve it myself. Anyone else who uses my name and says it’s for me has nothing to do with me. As for what Li Mingge thinks, it’s up to him.”

    The voice is very soft, and the tone is extremely calm.Turn on the faucet, quickly wash the bowl and put it in the cupboard.It didn't look strange at all, but Sheng Min knew it wasn't the case, at least not entirely.

    He looked at Li Xuan's tall and straight back, but suddenly felt an indescribable sadness in his heart.

    It was still a sleepless night, and Li Xuan didn't fall asleep all night.Sheng Min heard Li Xuan's slow breathing, although he remained motionless, he knew that Li Xuan was not asleep, so he turned sideways and hugged him tightly, leaning on his heart, listening to the sound of his heartbeat.

    "I said it's fine." Li Xuan's tone was gentle, "I'm just a little bit insomnia, you don't have to worry."

    "I'm not worried about this, I'm just worried about you." Sheng Min stroked his temples with his fingertips, "Are you uneasy because of Shu Xin?"

    This time Li Xuan's reaction was a beat slower. He saw the moonlight falling on Sheng Min's silk pajamas, like the Milky Way flowing in the dark night, and he was silent for a long time: "It's not uneasy. I wanted to go to the hospital to see her, but I didn't think it was necessary."...The police showed me the photos of the scene...Sheng Min, I have seen far more blood than this, but she is a woman, a patient, and the more innocent person in the whole thing."

    "Then are you sad about it?" Sheng Min asked in a low voice.

    Li Xuan hugged him attached, lowered his head slightly, kissed his hair, and answered irrelevant questions: "I don't blame myself, really. But it doesn't mean I think she deserved it."

    He didn't speak for a while, Sheng Min couldn't comfort him, because he knew that Li Xuan didn't need it, so he could only gently touch his eyes: "Go to sleep."

    Li Xuan agreed very lightly, but no one fell asleep for a long time. When it was almost dawn, Sheng Min couldn't bear it any longer. He just closed his eyes when the ear-piercing bell rang.

    As soon as he moved, Li Xuan had already taken the mobile phone first, and the faint skylight that penetrated through the curtain illuminated his stern eyebrows and eyes.The voice from the other end of the receiver leaked out faintly, but couldn't hear it clearly.

    "Well, okay, I see, I'll be right there." Li Xuan put down his phone and got up to get dressed.

    "What's wrong?" Sheng Min asked.

    Li Xuan turned around and paused for a second: "Zhao Jizhe surrendered himself to the police station."

    Zhao Jizhe confessed to the crime.

    Although the circumstances were serious, overall the facts were complete and the logic was clear. Although the lawyer representing Li Minger insisted that Li Xuan had an inseparable relationship with this incident, he could not provide any substantive evidence.The clues obtained by the police also showed that Li Xuan was not suspected of instigating or buying murder.

    In addition, Song Wen was worried, worried that Li Mingge's tricks would make him suffer, so he arranged for his own lawyer to come and assist him early in the morning, and the process went smoothly. The so-called suspicion was naturally cleared up quickly.

    "I called you here today, and there is another matter." Officer Zhang pointed to the policewoman next to him, "This is our colleague in charge of intellectual property rights. Zhao Jizhe mentioned in his confession that he was instigated by Li Mingge, stole your mobile hard drive, which contains "Yi Yu"..."

    Police officer Zhang is a bit old, and probably has never heard of this game, so he checked the information again: "Yes, all the update materials and internal data of "One Corner" were stolen and used in the follow-up update of "Void Island".Is there such a thing?"

    Li Xuan was startled for a moment, then pursed his lips: "Yes."

    The two police officers exchanged glances, and the female police officer said: "Okay, then this will be treated as an independent case in the future, and our department will follow up. The criminal suspect has already provided some evidence on his own initiative, and we need your active cooperation."

    "Naturally." Li Xuan nodded slightly.

    "I have a question to confirm." The policewoman opened the notebook, "According to the confession, the theft happened two months ago, on November 26th. Why didn't you come to the police station to report the incident?"

    Li Xuan was silent for a moment: "My adoptive father, Li Mingge, has been targeting the company under my name because he is unwilling to terminate the adoption relationship between us. Yuanyi is a start-up company. He does not have as strong capital as him, and he is also afraid of reporting the case.If you can’t get a fair judgment, you will waste time instead. So I put more energy into developing new games to recover the losses, and didn’t choose to report the case.”

    "is that so?"

    "Yeah." Li Xuan nodded, with a very sincere expression, "At that time, I didn't trust the judicial system enough, and it was my mistake that I didn't report the case immediately. Now that the police are willing to intervene in the investigation, we must cooperate well."

    The lawyer on the side took up the conversation in time: "Officer, since my client has proved that he has nothing to do with this criminal case, can I let him go back to rest first? We will submit relevant evidence related to intellectual property cases as soon as possible after we sort it out..”

    When entered the police station, the sun was still hidden behind the fog, but when came out, it was already dark.

    "Thank you for your hard work today, Lawyer Liang."

    "Where is Mr. Li, Mr. Song pays our firm a large amount of legal fees every year for the matter of being loyal to the emperor. Of course, this money cannot be spent in vain."

    Lawyer Liang helped himself with his glasses: "I mainly focus on criminal cases, and intellectual property rights are not my area of expertise. You see, tomorrow I will arrange for my partner to go to Yuanyi to cooperate with sorting out the evidence of infringement of "Void Island".convenient?"

    "Convenient." Li Xuan nodded, "This matter will trouble you."

    "It should be, Mr. Li, you are too polite. Now I am entrusted by Mr. Song to act for you. I think it will be just around the corner to grow up. If we need legal support at that time, I hope Mr. Li will consider us."

    "must."

    Because of Zhao Jizhe’s voluntary confession, and the chat records between him and Li Mingge’s secretary Zhou Qi as evidence, the police successfully retrieved the channel package provided by “Void Island” to the software store, and found that it had copied and used the source code of “One Corner”.

    Probably in order to avoid risks, "Void Island" added invalid codes and modified some variable parameters. However, after removing the invalid characters, the police conducted a comparison and found that the same part still accounted for as high as 80%. The evidence is conclusive.

    A week after Zhao Jizhe turned himself in, the legal person of the production company "Void Island" was arrested on suspicion of copyright infringement.At the same time, "Void Island" was also ordered to be removed from all platforms.

    Although the income of "One Corner" is still far from the original peak, it is obvious that it is growing day by day.

    The whole company has swept away the haze of the past, and there is a peaceful atmosphere.

    When Li Xuan entered the company in the morning, he saw Chu Tianheng flipping through the calendar at the front desk.

    "Waiting for the Spring Festival holiday?"

    "Why didn't you make any noise when you were walking? It scared me." Chu Tianheng turned his head, "I woke up this morning and saw that the narcissus I raised had sprouted. It turns out that spring is about to begin, and it's warmer than before."

    He shook his head and sighed, "This winter is really too long."

    "Is Song Wen here?"

    "Here we are, waiting for you in the meeting room with the lawyer."

    Lawyer Song Wenhe came here today mainly for the matter of "Void Island".

    "The legal person was released on bail yesterday. Li Mingge has always been more cautious. When it comes to arranging for Zhao Jizhe to steal the hard drive, and the contact with Wang Tian at the beginning, his secretary Zhou Qi was in charge. They also found someRelationship manipulation, the whole thing is now being taken down by Zhou Qi."

    The lawyer pressed the remote control pen, and the overall progress and context of the case were displayed on the screen.

    ""Void Island" is currently hoping to negotiate a private settlement with us. Their lawyers have already contacted me. This is their compensation plan."

    There are a whole page of PPT plans densely packed, only the amount of compensation marked in red stands out.

    "This money?" Song Wen glanced at it and sneered, "Where are you going to send the beggar? Tell them, if there is no reconciliation, I will sue to the end."

    Li Xuan smiled: "Boss Song thinks the money is short, so why not let them bleed more to know the pain."

    "Are you willing to reconcile?" The eyes of the meeting room gathered. After all, Chu Tianheng and others believed that Li Xuan should be the last person in the company who would not accept negotiation.

    "The current legal person is just a puppet, a person who has never met, even if he sits in prison, it has nothing to do with me. I don't have so much time to spend with them, it's boring, it's more practical to take money."

    Li Xuan stood up slowly, picked up a signature pen and wrote a number on the whiteboard, which made the lawyer gasp.

    "Let's talk about this number."

    "Mr. Li." The lawyer smiled awkwardly, "...According to the current domestic game intellectual property cases, it is generally..."

    "Don't be ordinary, and there is no need to follow any legal precedent." Li Xuan threw the pen back into the pen holder casually, "My property rights are much more valuable than this, but Yuanxin's people don't know the goods, so they think their reputation is not worth it.Worth it?"

    Hearing this, the eyes of several people brightened, and Li Xuan said calmly: "This is not the first time Yuanxin has done plagiarism, and he has been doing it in a fairly concealed way, and there has not been much public opinion because of it for so many years. This timeThey took Li Minger’s money, they couldn’t do well as a shooter, and they had to plagiarize and change their skins, if such a low-level thing is publicized, the stock price will definitely look good tomorrow.”

    He hooked the corner of his mouth and took a sip of water from the cup: "Now I'm trying to fool you with these three melons and two dates, but I still haven't hit seven inches. Do you think there is a leather bag company in front of you, so you can get away with it?"

    The ceramic cup was placed on the table, and there was a crisp sound: "Where is such a good thing, I have been walking by the river for a long time, it is time to go into the water."

    "Oh, you really are." Song Wen couldn't help clapping his hands, "I think it's fine, if you can really get such a fortune back, it's more worthwhile than sending them to jail."

    "It's fine if Mr. Song doesn't object."

    "No objection, no objection, as I said earlier, the company's affairs are decided by you, and I will not interfere much."

    Li Xuan smiled: "Senior, suspend your other work first, and start to cooperate with the lawyer to collect the materials that Yuanxin is providing technical support for "Null Island" today."

    "Okay." Chu Tianheng listened, and he had already made plans on his laptop, and said happily, "I originally had some ready-made materials here, and they were sorted out by Bo Yuan before. When he left, all of them were handed over toI'm..."

    This was spoken smoothly, but halfway through the speech, he felt something was wrong, stopped again, and pursed his lips: "I will finish it as soon as possible."

    The lawyer didn't know the doorway, so he froze in embarrassment.

    Song Wen coughed: "I don't know, Xiao Qi now..."

    "Mr. Song." Li Xuan didn't raise his eyes, "I have an arrangement, we will talk about work today."

    Song Wen smiled bitterly: "Well, let's talk about work, what will you arrange for me?"

    "You wait first." Li Xuan turned to the lawyer and said, "Today we can give the other party a round, and the evidence will be released slowly, and if necessary, disclose some on the Internet to give them some pressure from public opinion. But don't push too much.Tight, hang on too much, it hurts only when a blunt knife cuts the flesh."

    "Okay, Mr. Li."

    "You are more familiar with negotiating skills than I am, I'm an amateur." Li Xuan raised his hand and pressed his temple, "I know that the amount is difficult, but this lesson must be taught to them, so as to imitate others, so as not to lose a Yuanxin, andThe second one dares to jump out and become a minion for the tiger."

    He looked very serious when he was talking about business, and his throat trembled slightly as he spoke: "Mr. Song's salary is paid by Mr. Song. Everyone has done their best, and I will pay the bonus. In short, everything will be troublesome to the lawyer."

    "Okay Mr. Li, you opened your mouth and pointed the direction. We will do our best." The lawyer put away the documents on the table, "If there is nothing else, I will prepare the materials first."

    Chu Tianheng followed suit and stood up: "Then I'll go too, today there will be a new character painting, can you keep an eye on it for me?"

    Li Xuan nodded: "I will hold the meeting of the art group in the afternoon, you can just concentrate on cooperating with the lawyer recently."

    Outside the door, I heard the lawyer sighing with Chu Tianheng: "You, Mr. Li, are really not ordinary people."

    "If he were an ordinary person, the company would have closed down eight hundred times."

    After walking too far, the voice became inaudible. Song Wen knocked on the table: "Come on, what are you going to arrange for me? Li Xuan, you really can't justify not paying me some salary."

    "I can give you some more shares."

    "real?"

    "Fake."

    Song Wen laughed twice: "I don't dare to ask for your shares now, I think the company won't need me to invest any more money in soon, I won't coax you better.Take advantage and kick me out..."

    "There is a risk." Li Xuan glanced at his phone, and Sheng Min sent a message, saying that today is a makeup rehearsal and it will end later.

    He signaled Song Wen to wait a moment, walked aside and called back.

    "What time is it?...It's okay, I'll pick you up...What do you want to eat tonight, I'll ask someone to book a restaurant..."

    Song Wen listened to his gentle tone when he was on the phone, and when he put down the phone, he immediately glanced at him teasingly: "Why do you have two faces...'I'll pick you up'..."

    "Get down to business." Li Xuan interrupted him.

    "Sure, then I have something to tell you first." Song Wen collected his expression, "Lawyer Liang told me that the investigation of Zhao Jizhe's case is over, and the prosecution opinion has been sent to the procuratorate...Shu Xin should beHe was rescued and is still in the intensive care unit. It is estimated that his life is not in danger, but I heard that other problems were found. The hospital's tone is not clear, which is not important. In short, he is now charged with attempted murderSue, Li Minger will definitely demand severe punishment..."

    He paused, Li Xuan's face showed no emotion, and he continued: "It's just that I think he hates you even more."

    Li Xuan sneered.

    "Don't take it seriously." Song Wen walked up to Li Xuan and sat down, hesitating for a moment, "Did Lawyer Liang tell you?... Zhao Jizhe's confession."

    "said."

    According to the information obtained by the lawyer from the police station, Zhao Jizhe confessed that he had followed Li Mingge with a knife for more than half a month before the murder, of course for revenge.But because of fear, he has not been able to make up his mind. What finally drove him to do it was when he heard that Li Mingge arranged for someone to try to take down the updated version of "One Corner" that was just launched..... Under the excitement, I wanted to kill Li Mingge, that's right, but I didn't expect Shu Xin to rush out to block it...

    "We can inquire about these things. Li Mingge must know better. It's inevitable...Speaking of which, wouldn't it be good if we crushed Yuan Xin to death? What if they go to Li Mingge to argue and go around for a while?"The old hatred has returned to you."

    "You didn't say that ten minutes ago."

    "I was brought to the top by you just now." Song Wen rubbed his forehead, "Didn't I calm down for a while again?"

    "He hates me and doesn't care about these things. Could it be that I don't do anything because I'm afraid of his revenge?" Li Xuan said lightly, "But this is what I want to tell you. The senior is going to be in charge of the "Void Island", I will focus more on the update and new games of "Yi Yu" this month, and Li Minger still needs you to keep an eye on it."

    "Don't worry about that. I don't have anything else to do recently. I'll keep you close." Song Wen paused.Your personal troubles are more difficult to deal with."

    In the next few days, some news came intermittently. Shu Xin has not been discharged from the hospital. Zhao Jizhe asked to see Li Xuan many times in the detention center, but of course they were all rejected...

    In short, it is not too important news, but Li Mingge's revenge has not appeared for a long time.

    "I'm looking forward to something now. I'm waiting for ptsd every day." Song Wen couldn't help complaining.

    The sword of Damocles fell a week later, but not in the way anyone expected.

    That day when Sheng Min woke up in the morning, Li Xuan was not by his side, and half of the bed was still warm.

    He called his name twice but didn't hear a response, so he put on his pajamas and went out, and saw Li Xuan standing at the gate, seeming to be talking to someone.

    At first, Sheng Min didn't see anyone outside the door, and the voice of communication was not loud enough to hear clearly.While walking slowly in doubt, Li Xuan suddenly raised his voice.

    "Impossible." His tone was calm, but indifferent.

    Shocked, Sheng Min quickened his pace and saw Li Mingge standing outside the door.

    "There is no need to do these useless efforts." Li Xuan said.

    The entrance blocked half of the shadows, and the two people at the door didn't notice him for a while.

    Li Mingge's expression was painful and patient. He didn't refute, nor was he angry. In the next second, he knelt down straight.

    "I beg you." Surprised, Sheng Min heard Li Mingge say to Li Xuan, "I beg you to save her."

    The author has something to say:

    The description of the source code plagiarizing part of the judgment refers to the actual domestic cases, and hereby explain it.
