10 The lingering sound | Keywords
Coincidentally, Sheng Xin called.
"I know you must have just arrived home and need a few days of rest, but there's no way you can avoid it. You might have to work non-stop."
Lin Weifeng walked to the balcony and answered the phone: "Sister Sheng Xin, what happened?"
Sheng Xin said calmly, "It's good news. First, the TV station wants to interview you tomorrow morning, but they'll give you the key words in advance. Second, Mr. Li wants to loan the Wenyuan Encyclopedia to the Jingjiang Museum for exhibition, create an electronic version, and include it in the database. We need to follow up on the copyright issues for this work. Third, after seeing the news, the Jingjiang Museum wants to cooperate with us, probably to make us the next group of legal advisors. This is the biggest pie in the Jingjiang cultural relics lawyer circle, but there will be a lot of meetings in the next few days."
Lin Weifeng was instantly ignited by the sense of accomplishment: "That's great, Sister Sheng Xin, why do you sound unhappy?"
Sheng Xin was silent for a moment, then said calmly, "I had no idea you were in danger. The key is, you attended the online meeting on time. How strong must you be, Breeze."
Lin Weifeng said: "When danger comes, no one knows."
"Fortunately, it's safe."
Lin Weifeng smiled.
Sheng Xin: "Do you know the police officer who saved you?"
"I don't know him." This time, Lin Weifeng answered calmly and firmly.
"Then how do you understand Interpol hand signals?"
"I..." Lin Weifeng smiled and avoided answering, "Sister Sheng Xin doesn't believe in the brainwave method of saving people, does she?"
Sheng Xin said, "I actually trust my own brain waves, because I just followed my instincts and hired someone, and I found a talented female lawyer."
The two smiled.
After hanging up the phone, Lin Weifeng opened the balcony window and looked at today's soft and quiet sunset, neither hot nor cold, neither anxious nor impatient.
The sun rises and the moon stays, the sun and the moon alternate.
The sunrise from the plane that day was intense, hot and colorful, but it was ultimately a rare sight.
The ordinariness of the present is the life she truly belongs to.
She looked back at the space connecting the kitchen and the living room. Song Ze, as usual, was nervously surrounding Lin Haidong, helping and hindering him at the same time.
Sun Zhengxiao also helped prepare the food, chatted with Gu Chengxiu about daily life, talked about the indifference of her original family, and then smiled warmly in the disorderly but sincere comfort of everyone.
She herself also returned to her own territory today.
Boiling water will always exchange temperature with the outside world and become stable boiled water.
So she joined everyone, walked into the insulation layer she had gained in her life, and returned to ordinary life.
The name Jiang Yu left the center of her attention as she wanted to mention it but didn't dare to.
After dinner, Song Ze took the initiative to ask to send Sun Zhengxiao home so that Lin Weifeng could have a good rest.
Lin Weifeng knew what he meant, and after talking to Sun Zhengxiao for a few words, he agreed.
After taking a good bath, she leaned back on the bed and read the interview manuscript for tomorrow.
The first few questions were all related to her identity as a cultural relics lawyer, allowing her to express herself freely.
The following questions are relatively broad and are related to the future protection of cultural relics in Jingjiang.
Several of the questions centered around the causes and consequences of the Wenyuan Encyclopedia auction. The reporter highlighted several key words and asked her to mention them during the interview:
Interpol Officer Jiang, meeting an old friend in a foreign land, urgently rescues, professional and fearless, ready to die...
She was very touched and thanked the provincial and municipal bureaus, and Officer Jiang.
Lin Weifeng raised the corner of his mouth and snorted, "They're all praising him. Obviously, the hostages have made greater contributions."
Because of the time difference, Lin Weifeng slept intermittently.
She got up early, reduced her swelling, and dressed up. She looked quite energetic.
Lin Weifeng came to work at Jinhe Law Firm after graduation, and it has been more than two years now.
From an assistant lawyer in the field of cultural relics with an uncertain future to a practicing lawyer with a rising star, the Wenyuan Encyclopedia was a turning point in her career.
She cherishes all the opportunities that come with it, and even though her sleep quality has not yet recovered, she is full of energy.
She arrived at the institute early and sent the answers to the written interview questions to reporter Zhao Duan, a middle-aged man.
Zhao Duan and his team went to the countryside overnight yesterday to collect information about "chestnuts on the market". When they arrived at the institute, everyone's face was filled with fatigue.
Before he could even say hello, Zhao Duan bluntly stated, "Lawyer Lin, for the sake of interview efficiency, you must emphasize the key points we've highlighted. There are many questions for the interview, and in principle, you can ask whatever you want. However, when we edit the clips later, all questions will revolve around key words."
Lin Weifeng chuckled inwardly. All she needed to do on her manuscript was print the words "Jiang Yu is great"...
She said gently, "Yes, yes. I've used all sorts of rhetorical devices to illustrate the issues related to Officer Jiang over and over again. I'm sure I can restore his bravery at that time."
Zhao Duan took the time to glance at the document she sent, and without reading it carefully, he said, "Okay, let's get started."
The first half of the interview went particularly smoothly, and the material collection was completed in less than half an hour.
Until Zhao Duan asked, "Lawyer Lin, how did you understand Officer Jiang's gestures?"
Lin Weifeng replied tactfully, "Maybe I have a common understanding with Officer Jiang."
Stopped by Zhao Duan.
"What's wrong, Reporter Zhao?"
Zhao Duan: "That's not the right answer. You should say that you received guidance from Officer Guo Jiang beforehand. He patiently and meticulously taught you, the hostage-to-be, the principles of saving lives in actual combat. Then, you followed his instructions and cooperated with him to complete a perfect rescue."
"..." Lin Weifeng's patience was about to run out, and his expression was slightly stern. "But, we haven't communicated before. I understand the hand gestures because my father taught me, not because of him. "We have a common consciousness." That's already my most objective answer.
Zhao Duan said firmly: "This is the requirement of the station."
"That's not true. I would say he gave me a handheld stun gun before he did it."
Zhao Duan's eyes lit up: "Taper?"
“…”
This is a detail that news editors cannot see from surveillance.
Zhao Duan: "Could you please elaborate on the matter of the stun gun, Lawyer Lin? As for the hand gesture question, please answer according to the logic I just explained."
Lin Weifeng wanted to say that she was not a witness to Jiang Yu’s bravery, nor was she a booster for Interpol’s development in Jingjiang. She was just a somewhat useful hostage.
But she was powerless to resist, thinking that everyone had their own work stance, so she cooperated unconditionally.
The absurd topic of "brain wave saving method" cleverly brought the "Wenyuan Encyclopedia" into the public eye.
For a whole week, the wave of public opinion stirred up by the Wenyuan Encyclopedia has never stopped. Science bloggers, history bloggers, and official media have been constantly releasing new news.
Therefore, whenever Lin Weifeng opened the news app, she would be listed as a hostage in the hot searches.
She did not feel the pleasure of "receiving this honor", and even regretted not criticizing Zhao Duan for his conservatism.
Fortunately, the awareness of cultural relics protection in various units was awakened following these news. Sheng Xin took on many cases, and Lin Weifeng was also very busy. Many negative emotions were eliminated the moment they arose.
One afternoon a few days later, Lin Weifeng was invited by the Jingjiang Art Museum to attend a secret meeting on the return of cultural relics.
The founder of the "Mingshan Private Art Museum" in Ryukyu purchased a bluestone round-carved Bodhisattva statue from Europe when he first built the museum in the 1990s. The statue was unearthed in the 1970s in the home of a villager in "Jiangguan Village" in Jiangzhan District, Jingjiang City.
But after being missing for many years, no useful information has been received.
Jingjiang Art Museum only recently learned that the statue was housed in Mingshan Art Museum and wanted to take the initiative to negotiate.
Ms. Ding Yang, Director of the External Affairs Office of the Jingjiang Art Museum, frowned slightly. "We contacted Mingshan Museum, expressing our intention to reclaim the bluestone statue, but they immediately pointed out that our cultural relics protection system was inadequate. Otherwise, the statue wouldn't have been stolen and taken to Europe in the 1990s, and then remained unclaimed for three decades."
Lin Weifeng admitted, "I checked the relevant news in our country beforehand. Almost all the reports about this statue are unofficial. Even if what is said is true, there are great obstacles to requesting Mingshan to return it through legal channels. First, the founder of Mingshan claimed that he had reported to Interpol when he purchased the statue..."
Lin Weifeng paused instinctively and naturally thought of him.
He then maintained his expression and continued, "I checked with Interpol, and they didn't find it listed on any national lists of stolen cultural relics. This is indeed a reflection of the inadequate protection of cultural relics back then. Secondly, in the past thirty years, no organization has reported the statue's loss to Interpol. According to Ryukyu law, Mingshan qualifies as a 'good faith purchaser.'"
The result of good intentions is that ownership comes.
Ding Yang: "Lawyer Lin, are you saying that we have no other options?"
"No, this news is unofficial, but our Jingjiang Art Museum is a public institution. That means, as a first step, we can complete the verification process with Interpol and then release the official information as soon as possible."
"Is it too late to check now?"
Lin Weifeng: "The purpose of the verification is to form a policy direction for our pursuit of this cultural relic, which is always beneficial."
"Okay, you should know someone from Interpol, right?"
“…”
Faced with Ding Yang's calm question, Lin Weifeng opened his mouth but remained silent. His face twitched and he forced a smile.
The topic changes a bit quickly and there is no way to avoid it during the hot period.
The person involved is right in front of us, so it would be a waste of time not to ask.
Ding Yang said with a smile: "We all saw the news. The director even asked me if there was any way for the museum to use the brainwave rescue traffic to promote the upcoming exhibition."
Lin Weifeng smiled and should have said "not really knowing him", but facing the client, she couldn't easily admit that she was not good enough.
She thought about it, then whispered with the intention of politely declining, "I can indeed try to contact Interpol, but it will take some time."
"We can wait." Ding Yang said.
"You don't have to wait!" Lin Weifeng added almost reflexively, with a guilty tone in his voice.
Because... she didn't leave Jiang Yu's contact information in Lanxi, and she would be ridiculed if she asked Song Ze for it.
Things have gotten out of hand and I can't pretend anymore.
