"What legal issue?"
Wu Nanhai thought to himself, what's wrong, his pretentious questioning like this aroused the other party's suspicion and vigilance. This is not good. You should guide the other party in a casual discussion.
He immediately resumed his peaceful and generous smile at the meetings of the Agricultural Committee and the Senate: "What I mean is that although this case does not involve the senator, at least it is the closest naturalized citizen to the senator. The legal significance is not underestimate."
Ji Xin said nothing. He had just attended a meeting of the Law Society a few days ago. The main content discussed at the meeting was the trial of Yang Jihong's case: the litigation process, applicable laws, and professional discussions on various aspects of conviction and sentencing. However, he did not express much opinion at the meeting. In his opinion, the Yang Jihong case has something deeper than a simple discussion of how to interrogate.
Wu Nanhai saw that he didn't show an expression of rejection, so he continued:
"You know, I don't know much about legal issues, but Yang Xinwu - I don't know if you are familiar with him or not. Ever since Yang Jihong's incident happened, he spends time here every day dejected and drinking to drown his sorrows. It was originally a sunny day. The young man has become very decadent. Out of gay friendship and responsible attitude towards customers, to be honest, I am a little worried... No matter how you say this, Yang Jihong's situation is 'pathetic'. A lonely girl like her, in We work as a maid here - to put it bluntly, you are treating others with your own body, which is already very pitiful. Now that she is pregnant with Yang Yuanlao's child, she has become a suspect and is being detained. Although she is only a naturalized citizen, she still has two lives. No matter what From any perspective, we should all carry forward the spirit of humanitarianism - I personally think we can be lenient to her."
These words were sincere and touching, and coupled with Lao Wu's tolerant and loving face, they were quite convincing.
However, there was a strange expression on Ji Xin's face. Wu Nanhai felt that something was wrong, but the words had been spoken and he could not swallow them back. He had no choice but to continue speaking according to the original train of thought:
"Look. The core of this matter is still the issue of the identity and rights of the indigenous people. As long as sufficient legal assistance can be provided, I believe it will still be..."
Ji Xin nodded and interrupted him: "Do you want to suggest that I be Yang Jihong's defense lawyer?"
For a moment. Wu Nanhai felt Wei Wei was a little embarrassed, but since his purpose had been seen through, the futile cover-up was of no use. He could only nod: "That's it." As if to explain his suggestion, "Although she is a naturalized aboriginal, what is the relationship? If two lives, as well as the bones and blood of the elders, really fall into Fu Youdi's hands - well, I can't even imagine it. I feel so unbearable."
Ji Xin said: "It won't happen if we end up like Fu Youdi, but the maid system itself is reactionary and inhumane. I don't agree with it very much."
"That's right. I don't agree with this retroversion of slavery. So I hope you can use your legal knowledge to save her." Wu Nanhai picked up the tea cup, "The same face as the sky."
This is a lyric from the past, now used by Ji Xin as the slogan of the Association for the Protection of Aboriginal Rights and Interests. Ji Xin was silent for a while and then said:
"I have no shirking responsibility for this matter. Now that I have established this association. Even if it is my one-man association, I will go all the way to the dark side - practice it personally. However, recent events make me feel that the case is a bit complicated..." He mused. Moment said, "You're the third person in the past few days to suggest this to me."
This time it was Wu Nanhai's turn to show a surprised expression, and he couldn't help asking: "Who else?"
"One is Elder Yang himself." Ji Xin said thoughtfully, "There is also a female elder I am not familiar with."
"Female senator?!"
"Yes," Ji Xinxin began. He scratched his chin and said, "I can't remember her name. Let's go by Cheng."
"Cheng Yongxin?"
"Yes, that's the name." Ji Xin nodded, "She also came to talk to me about this matter, and also talked with me about the protection of the rights and interests of indigenous women - I feel that she is still a very thoughtful person. If it weren't for herself Explanation, I thought she was sent by the queen."
"Oh," Wu Nanhai said noncommittally. Why is she here to give me a kick? Wu Nanhai realized there was something wrong here. Last time Xiao Zishan called specifically to find out who had talked to Yang Xinwu and which elders, he saw the name Cheng Yongxin in the teahouse's entertainment consumption record book. and. The waitress also said that she saw Cheng Yongxin entering Yang Xinwu's box. Mr. Yang even ordered more coffee.
Wu Nanhai regretted his involvement in this matter. But now that the matter has come to this point, we can no longer back down. He said half-jokingly:
"I just like to be nosy, and I don't want to see my comrades depressed. It affects my business. Besides, I am going to be a father soon - a father cannot see his children suffering. Don't say that Yang Jihong's baby is a veteran Even if she is not of blood, for the sake of the unborn child, we should try to save her."
"However, this case is indeed a bit confusing. I have read the materials. The facts are clear and the evidence is sufficient. It is probably difficult to defend the case without guilt. It can only be used from a 'humanitarian' perspective."
Wu Nanhai originally thought that he had mastered the "curious item" to solve this case, but under the current situation, he decided not to throw it out for the time being, so as not to make Ji Xin doubt his overzealousness.
"It's up to you to worry about this. What do you guys want to do in this time and space? Are you looking for the taste of a master soon? *The baby's matter is mainly about the face of Yang Yuanlao, and also the face of many soy sauce elders. We also need to invite Please handle it well, everyone in the legal department."
"I'll do my best."
After seeing off Ji Xin, Wu Nanhai quietly returned to the "counting room" - the "manager's office" of the teahouse. The teahouse has grown in size, and Chu Qing now rarely goes to the front desk to greet guests in person. Mainly to "catch the boss" in the "counting room". At first, she specially studied simple business accounting by herself, and now she is personally in charge of the teahouse's accounts and operations.
Although he didn't know what kind of medicine Cheng Yongxin sold in the gourd, he had begun to pay attention to this mysterious woman after the last inquiry by the general office, and asked Chu Qing and the waitresses to pay close attention to her movements.
"Ms. sir, what's wrong with you? Is something wrong?" Chu Qing asked with concern when she saw that his face was gloomy after he came in.
"Nothing," Wu Nanhai shook his head, "Are you busy now?"
"It's not busy. Those two girls are very smart. I have already taught them the accounting method of the teahouse, which makes me feel a lot more relaxed..."
The business was so good that the original loan from Delong was repaid two-thirds of the time. After the busy business, the "accounting room" has been upgraded to the "manager's office". Chu Qing had already been diagnosed with pregnancy three months ago. Therefore, Chu Qing and Wu Nanhai discussed and bought two maid students with relatively good financial performance from the maid school and arranged them to be in charge of the teahouse's finances at the "Manager's Office". Accounts and administrative work.
Wu Nanhai originally wanted to promote from among the senior waitresses in the tea house, but Chu Qing felt that the waitresses in the tea house were all naturalized citizens who had resigned from their citizenship. She was worried and insisted on buying students from the maid school who were carrying special contracts. .
Wu Nanhai felt that this was not a good idea - but Chu Qing thought it was better: "This way I can rest assured, and it will be easier for me to teach and discipline. Otherwise, I can't be beaten or scolded, and it's difficult to manage. Besides, if I do well in the future, I will Just deregister them. If they don't do well, they will be demoted to waiters. Only by using a combination of grace and power can we control them."
Wu Nanhai couldn't resist his wife, so he had to agree.
"You do one thing for me. Do it quietly." Wu Nanhai lowered his voice and asked Chu Qing to sort through all the teahouse's consumption records about Cheng Yongxin since the Yang case occurred.
"... On which days she came, how long she stayed, what she consumed, which table she sat at, and who sat at the same table or box with her, you can sort it all out, register it separately and give it to me - You do it yourself.”
"Okay, sir." Chu Qing was a little confused, but she never asked much about the matters between the elders.
The teahouse's account books are very complicated, and they are all stored in a locked small room in the teahouse's accounting room. Only Wu Nanhai and Chu Qing have the key. In one of the rows of dark filing cabinets, records of visits and consumption records of elders are stored by date. With the help of the card index, you can easily find the consumption records of each veteran, including what they ordered, the amount of consumption, seat number or box number, and also the naturalized citizens who came with them.
The account book does not include the content of the conversation, which is absolutely taboo. Wu Nanhai is not so clever as to be so stupid, but just who sat at the same table with whom and entered a box is enough to deduce a lot of situations. .
He saw the materials compiled by Chu Qing the next day. Wu Nanhai was surprised after looking at her consumption records in the teahouse these days. Judging from the records, Cheng Yongxin has been coming to the teahouse almost every day these days and meets with some people frequently. Only those with obvious connections to the Yang Jihong case include Mu Min, Salina, Su Wan, Yang Xinwu, Pan Pan and others.
Wu Nanhai took a pencil and sketched on the white paper: Mu Min, Salina, and Su Wan are all members of the national police and are directly responsible for the case. Pan Pan is from the cultural and publicity department. What these four people have in common is that they are all members of the national police. woman.
There are three women in one drama, and now Cheng Yongxin and Mu Min are added to it. Five women, all of whom are veterans, what do they want to do when they get together? Wu Nanhai hesitated for a while, then took out his PHS phone from the locked drawer and dialed a number:
"Director Xiao? I am Nanhai. I have something to report to you——"
