Dark sugar is hard to prevent

564
Since the hotel is located in the most prosperous commercial center in Los Angeles, it mainly entertains business people. Many successful shopping mall elites in Los Angeles like to choose this place for business negotiations. Therefore, the hotel is worried about revealing the whereabouts of guests, and has not installed surveillance on some occasions.

Tang Xi'en and his group successfully entered the hotel, but were trapped in the elevator.

The floor Fu Zhengye lived at that time was the administrative floor, and he didn't have a special access card, so he couldn't even go up the elevator.The male lawyer thought of a way, disguised himself as a resident, and opened a room on the same floor.

The room that Fu Zhengye stayed in that night was cleaned up by the hotel after the police investigation and evidence collection, and then continued to be used by other guests. Right now, there are people living in it. They boldly knocked on the door, explained their purpose to the guests, and went in to see it a few times. Eye.

The scene has been destroyed, and nothing can be found. Tang Xien came here because he wanted to deduce the situation that night at the crime scene and build a sense of space in his mind.

Back at the law firm, the investigators over there also found out some things.

The key witness in this case is the victim's roommate on the surface, but in fact she is a rival in love secretly, because after the victim fell into a coma, she quickly caught up with the victim's boyfriend.

Lawyers believe that this kind of thing is very common. Young girls are indeed prone to jealousy and male friends who like their friends.

Tang Xi'en didn't want to let go of the slightest possibility, so he instructed the investigators to continue the investigation.

……

After a few days of investigation and evidence collection, because the defendant did not have direct and strong evidence to persuade the prosecution to withdraw the prosecution, Fu Zhengye had no choice but to continue to be imprisoned.

The preliminary hearing will be in early February, and Fu Zhengye's chief lawyer can attend. Tang Xi'en and Fu Shiyu are going to return to China first, and come back after the formal trial in mid-February.

Before they returned to China, they visited Fu Zhengye in the prison for the last time.

Fu Zhengye was wearing a short-sleeved prison uniform, and there was a purple spot on his arm. It looked like he had been beaten by someone. It was much worse than what he saw before the last interrogation.

Tang Xi'en felt a little uncomfortable, but he was more worried about Fu Shiyu.

Fu Shiyu didn't show any emotion, and his face was indifferent, but she knew that such a Fu Shiyu felt more pain in his heart than anyone else.

Tang Xi'en didn't have time to think about it, and cherished the limited visiting time.

But when it was time to communicate with Fu Zhengye about the case, she realized that she couldn't ask... After all, Fu Zhengye was her father-in-law.

She summoned up her courage and was about to speak when Fu Shiyu spoke first: "The police found a safety bag in your room, the victim's hair on the sofa, and..."

He blushed, and it was embarrassing and shameful to tell his father these things.After a moment of relief, he looked up at Fu Zhengye with sharp eyes: "And there are the victim's skin flakes under your nails! How do you explain it?"

Fu Zhengye was shocked, and looked at Fu Shiyu with wide eyes: "Impossible! I don't know that woman at all, how could there be these things?!"

Fu Shiyu looked away, not even wanting to look at Fu Zhengye.In the days since he came to Los Angeles, it was the first time that he showed such extreme boredom.

Fu Zhengye looked angrily and didn't say much.

Seeing that time was running out, Tang Xien went all out and asked, "Are you sure the victim didn't enter your room that night?"

Fu Zhengye said with certainty: "Sure! If that woman ever enters my room, I will be struck to death by lightning at night!"

Fu Shiyu snorted coldly and looked out the window.It's obvious that I don't believe it.

Tang Xien was embarrassed.

She pursed her lips and said, "Then think about it again, is it possible that you had contact with the victim in other places? Also, you said that a friend was in your room from 10:2 to [-]:[-] that night. The victim was killed at the same time, if you can tell us the contact information of this friend and we can contact her to provide you with an alibi, then this case has a great chance of winning.”

Fu Zhengye remained silent for a long time and lowered his head.

Fu Shiyu shifted his eyes to look at him, and said coldly, "Your safety bag was used with that person?"

Tang Xien: "..."

Fu Shiyu: "Since it's such an intimate relationship, shouldn't she refuse to provide you with an alibi?"

Fu Zhengye remained silent.Time passed by, and until the guard was about to come to take him, he still refused to reveal the other party's information.

Looking at the back of Fu Zhengye being taken away, Fu Shiyu shook his head, the anger on his face turned into mockery.

Back at the law firm, Tang Xien immediately changed directions to discuss with other lawyers.They speculated that the woman who had sex with Fu Zhengye that night was either a woman that Fu Zhengye wanted to protect and could not expose; or she was a call girl who did not know her name and phone number...

Regarding Fu Zhengye's case, Fu Shiyu became more silent. It wasn't until he and Tang Xi'en returned to China, returned to their respective jobs, and temporarily stayed away from the depressing things in Los Angeles, that their mood improved.

……

Tang Xien returned to work in the Department of Treaty and Law, just after the long Spring Festival holiday, so everyone only took two days off as if she was busy a year ago or pregnant and unwell, but when chatting, some subordinates asked her where she went to play during the New Year, and she almost slipped her mouth. In the end, she only said that she and her husband went to Los Angeles to celebrate the New Year. Everyone thought that rich people like to go abroad to play, but no matter what happened, they couldn't guess that something happened to her husband's family.

In mid-February, when Tang Xien was planning to ask Director Li for leave to go to Los Angeles, Director Li first told her that during her two years in the Department of Treaty and Law, the Ministry appreciated her efficiency in solving one key case a year In terms of personal ability, she is far better than the other competitor. Coupled with her father-daughter relationship with Teng Zhongqian, the ministry has carefully considered and intends to let her take up the post of deputy director of the Treaty and Law Department. Now it is only waiting for Li Si She will be able to take office immediately after she resigns at the end of February.

After listening to Director Li's words, Tang Xi'en's mood changed from surprise to entanglement and regret.

The end of February was the time when Fu Zhengye's case would be held in Los Angeles. It would take a few working days and she was not sure how long she would stay in Los Angeles.If she temporarily leaves the Department of Treaty and Law at this juncture, then...

She was in a tangle, and she didn't mention to Director Li that she was going to take a long vacation for the time being. She planned to think it over at night before deciding what to do.

She didn't want to discuss this matter with Fu Shiyu.If Fu Shiyu knew, he would definitely not agree to let her go to Los Angeles to participate in Fu Zhengye's trial.

So is Teng Zhongqian...

Tang Xi'en went home at night, locked himself in the study, and went through the files of Fu Zhengye's case carefully.

All the evidence in this case is direct and crude, only the victim's testimony seems a little weak.

After the victim was sent to the hospital for rescue, she was sober briefly. The police recorded a statement for her at that time, and she personally confirmed that the perpetrator was Fu Zhengye.Afterwards, the victim remained in a coma due to internal internal bleeding, so there was only one turning point in this case, and that was to summon the victim to testify in court, and to find out the loopholes in the victim's testimony through cross-examination, breaking through the current fog of the case.

However, the victim is still in a coma, and it is unknown whether he will be able to appear in court at that time. In this case, Fu Zhengye's chief lawyer should apply for an extension and wait for the victim to wake up before continuing the trial.If this is the case, then Tang Xien's return to Los Angeles is not particularly meaningful.

She already had the inclination in her heart not to return to Los Angeles for the time being.

However, the next morning, Fu Shiyu, who was still asleep, received a call from Los Angeles, saying that the victim in the Fu Zhengye case had woken up, and Fu Zhengye's chief lawyer had decided to apply for the victim to testify in court at that time.

Tang Xien immediately decided to go to Los Angeles with Fu Shiyu three days later.

When she went to ask Director Li for leave, Director Li was very shocked and asked her if she could stay until she took office before asking for leave, she said no, Director Li asked her if she knew the return date, maybe he could discuss it with the ministry Let's relax a little bit on the matter of Tang Xi'en's promotion to deputy director.

Hearing that the return date of Tang Xien's leave was undetermined, it might be a few months later, Director Li shook his head regretfully.

Tang Xi'en came out of the director's office in frustration, and returned to his own office with a dazed expression. As soon as the door was closed, his eyes were red...

She knew that she really missed it this time, and her good luck seemed to be running out...

　My health is still not good. I can’t last until the third shift today. I will fight for it tomorrow. Thank you for your understanding.

　　see you tomorrow!
