Chapter 30 Clues【VIP】
After the summer came, the temperature began to rise, and the sunlight shining through the floor-to-ceiling windows was particularly bright, like a piece of golden silk, with specks of dust dancing on the golden threads.
Lin Zhihua searched the filing cabinet three times but couldn't find the file that was said to be about the medical malpractice dispute.
She stopped what she was doing and looked carefully at the gray-black metal cabinet in front of her.
The cabinet was large, with anti-collision metal edges on all four corners, and each drawer was neatly labeled. She ran her fingertips over the label "Civil - Category B" and carefully examined the date on the brown paper cover.
"Strange, why isn't there..." she muttered softly, tapping the cabinet door unconsciously with her knuckles.
The files for the past two months are all here. Fu Jinnian only told her that it was a case he took over last month, but did not say the specific time.
She squatted down to check the safe on the bottom shelf when her phone vibrated. She took it out and glanced at it. It was a message from Fu Shengyan: "Zhizhi, I'm at the police station. I'm checking the surveillance footage from the highway that day."
She tapped a few times, replied "OK" and put the phone away.
When he stood up, his elbow hit the bookshelf, and a heavy code fell to the ground with a "bang". Lin Zhihua bent down to pick it up, and suddenly noticed the edge of a light blue folder exposed at the innermost side of the bookshelf.
She had an idea and pushed aside some legal journals and took out the folder.
It was indeed the missing file.
Where the person's information was originally posted on the cover, only a small piece of glue that was deliberately torn off remains.
She held her breath and opened the plastic cover. The case materials that should have been neatly bound were now in a mess.
The edges of the key pages were torn with jagged marks, the last three pages of the witness statement record were missing, and the most important one, the diagnosis certificate issued by the hospital, was replaced by an unimportant power of attorney agreement.
It cannot be said to be insignificant.
She stared at the receipt. The details of the commission had been completely obliterated by ink, and the signature of the client had been smudged, leaving only half a fingerprint. She held up the commission agreement and, in the sunlight, could only vaguely make out a name.
"You Xi?"
She frowned, her fingertips unconsciously stroking the rough edges of the paper that had been violently torn.
In the file given by Fu Jinnian, the victim's name was Xia Youxi, so it seemed that this was the correct file.
After Fu Shengyan lost his memory, he rarely stayed in the law firm. The office was left empty for a long time. So who came in and destroyed the files?
Lin Zhihua subconsciously wanted to check the surveillance footage at the office door, but she quickly reacted.
How could this person have dared to enter Fu Shengyan's office so openly? How could they not have anticipated that they would retrieve the surveillance footage after discovering something was wrong? How could they have chosen to stay in the law firm after destroying the data without fear of being held accountable?
Lin Zhihua narrowed her eyes slightly and tapped the table with her knuckles, concluding that this person had resigned.
His identity is obvious: Fu Shengyan's former assistant - Liu Kaining.
He didn't steal the files, but destroyed them and placed them openly in the bookcase. Was it to warn Fu Shengyan?
There are not many people in the law firm, so even if they are not familiar with each other, they will form an impression of each other over time.
Lin Zhihua immediately asked Liu Kaining if he had returned to the law firm during this period.
"Xiao Liu? He seems to have come back once after leaving. He said he hadn't finished packing up his things."
The female lawyer in the lounge recalled for a moment while holding her coffee, then nodded confidently, "Anyway, he must have come back after he resigned. I had a case going to court the day he resigned, and I happened to run into him when I came back, so I have some impression of him."
Lin Zhihua thought for a moment and dialed Liu Kaining's phone number that she had saved.
"Sorry, the number you dialed is not in service..."
really.
The other party has most likely cancelled his account and left City A.
Lin Zhihua hung up the phone and asked Ye Qianxi to find out where this person was now.
She chuckled, but her eyes were frighteningly cold, "I want to see how seriously you can hide a small figure."
Fu Shengyan went to the police station early in the morning and unexpectedly saw Wu Pengtian there.
Wu Pengtian's family was in the food business. While not considered the most prestigious in City A, it was still a leading industry. With two older brothers to support him, and no ambitions of his own, he settled down at home as a second-generation rich kid, holding a nominal position at the company and leading a carefree life.
It’s just that I’ve been unlucky recently. Ever since I met Fu Shengyan at the Yujing Club that day, I feel like everything is going wrong.
Just this morning, before I woke up from my sweet sleep, I was called to the police station for questioning.
Wu Pengtian twitched his lips and asked, "Why, were you summoned for committing a crime?"
"No, don't always speculate about yourself. I'm the victim." Fu Shengyan glanced at him, his eyes fixed on the men and women squatting with their heads in their hands in rows not far away. "Why are you standing here? Why don't you squat with the people next to you?"
That one sentence provoked him into a rage: "I wouldn't go to a whore! I just wave my hand and there are so many people lining up!"
"That laugh, raised his eyebrows, and said with a somewhat proud tone, "Unlike me, marrying..."
Wu Pengtian was choked and couldn't continue. Who the hell wants to know whether you are chaste or not, and what is there to be proud of?
The young policeman behind him coughed lightly, said something, and took the two of them to different rooms.
"Are you suspecting this car accident wasn't an accident?" Officer Chen, who was in charge of the case, frowned tightly. His sharp eyes were like a hook, and he looked straight at Fu Shengyan. "Do you have any evidence? Or do you have any grudges against anyone?"
"I can't remember, but I'm a lawyer," he said confidently, blinking. "Anyway, this car is used!"
Officer Chen: “…”
Do young people nowadays have paranoia?
The serial car accident was ultimately investigated and found to be a traffic accident, and the case was closed. Without new evidence, the case couldn't be reopened, Officer Chen said, gently reminding them.
Fu Shengyan insisted on expressing
This request was not excessive. After all, he was one of the parties involved in the car accident, and the Fu family secretly helped behind the scenes. Fu Shengyan did not encounter much hindrance and watched the surveillance video at the time, and also took a look at the information of the people who caused the accident.
He wrote down these names and asked about Wu Pengtian's situation as he walked out of the room.
The young police officer at the police station shook his head and said, "I can't say that."
This is confidential and he cannot reveal it to others.
Fu Shengyan nodded to show his understanding, and without staying any longer, he left the police station.
"Brother Fu!" Tang Yuan waved to him across the street.
"What a coincidence? Why are you here?" Fu Shengyan didn't expect to see Tang Yuan here, and asked with some surprise.
"Let's go home after get off work. I happen to live here." Tang Yuan pointed to the residential complex not far away. Without saying a few polite words, he pulled him away and said, "Let's go. It's noon now. Let's go to a restaurant."
"I have to have lunch with my wife at noon." Fu Shengyan wanted to refuse. He planned to go back early and tell Lin Zhihua about the information of the perpetrator.
Tang Yuan didn't want to listen to his nagging, so he took his men to the restaurant next door. "Just tell the squad leader! Besides, let's talk about your condition. The squad leader won't say anything."
Fu Shengyan looked a little hesitant. He wanted to know more details about his amnesia from Tang Yuan, so he followed him into the restaurant reluctantly.
Tang Yuan waved his hand and ordered a large table of food and two large bottles of drinks.
"Brother Fu, it's been a while since we old classmates met and had dinner together. You can ask the class monitor when to hold a class reunion." Before all the dishes were served, Tang Yuan winked at him.
"Class reunion?" Fu Shengyan glanced at him with some confusion in his eyes.
"Yes, it's been seven years since we graduated!" Tang Yuan sighed with a nostalgic look on his face.
Fu Shengyan tilted his head. In his impression, it seemed that he had just met his classmates not long ago, but he didn't expect that he would be attending a class reunion in the blink of an eye.
"Oh, I forgot. You are eighteen years old now. In your memory, we may not have graduated yet." Tang Yuan smiled.
"I didn't expect that seven years have passed in a flash. When we graduated, we agreed to get together every year, but we only got together in the year we graduated from college. Later, not everyone showed up, and only a few of us would occasionally meet in City A and have dinner together." Tang Yuan picked up a piece of green beans with chopsticks, feeling very emotional.
"I'll go back and ask Zhizhi later." Hearing Tang Yuan's words, Fu Shengyan was a little curious, "Who among us is there?"
"Class monitor, you, me, oh, and Sister Yan will go back to school to visit the old class monitor every year. As for the others, they are either busy today or have something to do the next day." Tang Yuan moved the dishes in the bowl and shoveled the rice into his mouth.
"Where are the big heads?" Fu Shengyan asked. They had always been good friends in high school, but they hadn't been seen for a long time.
"They went to Yunnan and Guizhou together, doing some e-commerce live streaming, they are so busy." Tang Yuan's cheeks were stuffed and he took another big gulp of ice cola.
Tang Yuan sighed and said mysteriously, "Brother Fu, you certainly didn't expect that Sister Yan is a big star now!"
A heroic girl with short hair emerged in Fu Shengyan's mind. Yan Jie's father was the director of a Taekwondo gym. She had been practicing Taekwondo since she was a child, but she was the real big sister in the class, and she was righteous and enthusiastic.
"No way?" His memory was still stuck on the scene of her beating up those stupid boys in school. She didn't look like she would become a star at all.
"Why would I lie to you?" Afraid that Fu Shengyan wouldn't believe him, Tang Yuan opened his phone and pulled out a few photos. "Look."
Fu Shengyan stared at the girl in the photo with wide eyes. The girl had changed her tomboyish appearance and became gentle and quiet. She was standing on the red carpet in a high-end dress. She looked like a virtuous young lady no matter how you looked at her.
He gasped.
Is this Yan Jie? !
