After knowing the address of Weinberg's law firm, Dong Qiangqiang was a little unable to answer the questions. The image of Lu Wei helpless behind the glass window of the police station lingered in his mind.
He pulled the mock scroll aside, pulled out a German Yellow Pages as thick as a brick from under a pile of newspapers, and found the specific location of the law firm in less than a minute.
The location of the law firm is not too remote. Dong Qiangqiang estimated that it would take about 30 minutes to get there by car and walking.
There was an introduction and phone number of the law firm in the Yellow Pages, so Dong Qiangqiang dialed it directly. "Hello. I would like to make an appointment with Attorney Weinberg this afternoon. Is he free this afternoon?" Dong Qiangqiang asked impatiently as soon as the call was connected.
"Attorney Weinberg is unavailable this afternoon. You can try another day." The other party's answer was polite and cold.
Dong Qiangqiang had expected this possible outcome before the fight, and immediately asked: "What's the fastest date we can make an appointment?"
There was the sound of rummaging through the phone, and after a while the secretary said: "Next Monday at 15:00."
Dong Qiangqiang thought he heard wrongly and hurriedly confirmed: "Next Monday?"
"Yes."
Dong Qiangqiang did not hesitate: "Then I will make an appointment with Lawyer Weinberg next Monday."
Half an hour later, Dong Qiangqiang stood in front of the other party's law firm.
This is a modern building with a beige granite facade. The rectangular floor-to-ceiling windows look nearly two meters high. The two bronze doors look dignified and heavy, giving people a sense of solemnity. A line of letters is cast on the bronze plaque hanging next to the door: Carl Weinberg Law Firm.
After hearing what Dong Qiangqiang said, the secretary said directly: "If you don't make an appointment in advance, you won't be able to see the lawyer today. And I have just registered for you, so you should come at the appointed time."
"But I do have something very important to tell the lawyer," Dong Qiangqiang explained while looking into the lawyer's room. "I'll just say a word and it won't delay him for a long time."
The secretary couldn't help but frown, lowered his head unhappily and continued to organize the documents in his hand, muttering in a low voice: "The lawyer is not here right now."
Of course Dong Qiangqiang knew that he had to make an appointment in advance to see the Germans, but he was really anxious to know where Lu Wei was being held. When he called Lu Wei's mother two days ago to report that he was safe, Lu's mother asked roundaboutly about Lu Wei's current situation. Dong Qiangqiang was a little confused while answering the questions. He almost said that he was stupid. He ended the conversation in time before the other party could react.
"Then I'll wait here. If Lawyer Weinberg comes back, I'll just say a word to him and leave." After finishing speaking, Dong Qiangqiang sat down on the sofa nearby and took out a mock test paper from his backpack, not panicking. Don't be too busy to do the questions.
The secretary probably had never seen anyone be so agitated. He didn't react for a moment. He was stunned for a long time before he finally recovered: "You can't sit here."
"Why?" Dong Qiangqiang asked, "Isn't the sofa you set up just for people to sit on?"
Realizing the slip of the tongue, the secretary blushed and hurriedly defended: "You will definitely not be able to see the lawyer without an appointment. It doesn't matter how long you wait."
"It's okay, you're busy with your business, I'm not in a hurry. I'll rest for a while before leaving." After finishing speaking, Dong Qiangqiang pretended to cross his legs in a leisurely manner.
Seeing that Dong Qiangqiang refused to leave, the secretary was a little at a loss. She secretly picked up the phone while Dong Qiangqiang was not paying attention and whispered a few words into the phone. Dong Qiangqiang had a panoramic view of all this, but unfortunately the voice of the other party was too low. Dong Qiangqiang listened hard but heard nothing.
By 18:00, the lawyer still had not appeared. The secretary came over and said to Dong Qiangqiang: "It's time to get off work now. I want to lock the door. Please get out."
Dong Qiangqiang responded to "k, k" while looking in the direction of the door that had been closed all afternoon.
The secretary half pushed and half pushed him out of the door.
But Dong Qiangqiang did not leave immediately after walking out of the law firm. Instead, he went to a hidden place and stared in the direction of the door.
Not long after, the secretary secretly opened the door a crack and stepped out. She looked around before slowly walking in one direction.
Dong Qiangqiang noticed that the secretary did not lock the door.
There should be people inside. he thought to himself.
When it was almost 19 o'clock, the door suddenly opened to the left and right, and a white-haired but energetic old man walked out quickly.
While the old man turned around and locked the door, Dong Qiangqiang walked over quickly.
"Hello, Lawyer Weinberg." Dong Qiangqiang greeted generously.
The old man locked the door and just turned around when he suddenly saw a foreign young man standing in front of him. He couldn't help but be stunned for a moment: "Hello."
"My name is Dong Qiangqiang. I am Lu Wei's classmate..." After finishing speaking, Dong Qiangqiang suddenly realized that being a classmate might not be enough, so he quickly added, "And her emergency contact person."
Weinberg looked at Dong Qiangqiang carefully for a few seconds and asked in a gentle tone: "What can I do for you?"
"That's right, Lu Wei told me that you are her defense lawyer. So I would like to take the liberty of asking you, where is Lu Wei being held now? I want to see her."
Weinberg asked, "Since you were her emergency contact, why didn't she tell you where she was being held?"
Dong Qiangqiang shook his head: "She called me, but I didn't receive it."
Weinberg smiled slightly and said, "This is hers. I can't tell you." After saying that, he turned around and left.
"Please wait a moment, Lawyer Weinberg." Dong Qiangqiang stood in front of the old man in two hurried steps. Looking at the wrinkles on the old man's face, he said in a sincere tone, "Actually, I am here to ask you on behalf of Lu Wei's parents."
Weinberg stared at Dong Qiangqiang suspiciously: "Are you asking for her parents?"
"Yes." Dong Qiangqiang had no choice but to lie, "I know she refused to let her parents attend the trial."
"Then do you have a power of attorney or power of attorney from his parents?" Weinberg asked patiently.
"Well," Dong Qiangqiang was about to find another reason, but suddenly an idea flashed in his mind. He hurriedly took out a piece of paper and handed it to the old man, "I have it, this is it."
Weinberg took the paper doubtfully, took out his reading glasses from his pocket, put them on the bridge of his nose, and read carefully.
What Dong Qiangqiang handed to the old man was actually a letter written by Lu Wei to him. "She said you helped her a lot, so I came to you."
"I can't understand the text on this. You should translate it into German first and then notarize it, so that it will be valid." The old man pointed out.
"I know it's all written in Chinese, but your name is indeed written on it." Dong Qiangqiang pointed to Weinberg's German name on the letter paper. That was what Lu Wei originally wrote on the letter paper.
The old man did see his name. But he didn't speak. He just glanced at Dong Qiangqiang again, seeming to be thinking about something.
Dong Qiangqiang knew that it was impossible for him to get the authorization letter from Lu Wei's parents, and if he was rejected by the other party this time, he would most likely be rejected again next time he met. He reluctantly said loudly: "I just want to tell you, Lu Wei's parents' They are old and in poor health. They are very worried about the safety of their only daughter. They hope to get news about Lu Wei as soon as possible, so they entrusted me to ask for your help. If you still don’t believe me, I am willing to give my The passport is in your hands, and then please come with me to the prison to see Lu Wei and tell him face to face. If there are any legal consequences arising from this, I will be willing to bear it."
The old man looked at him meaningfully for a while, then slowly turned around and walked towards the corner of the street.
When Dong Qiangqiang saw that the other party was unable to get in, he couldn't help but kicked out a pebble under his feet in disappointment. The stone hit the iron trash can in the distance with a crisp sound.
"There is only one women's prison in Hannover." An old male voice came from afar.
Dong Qiangqiang raised his head when he heard the sound, and saw the street lights on both sides of the street suddenly light up, but the old man's figure disappeared without a trace.
"Thank you!" he shouted into the air, filled with the joy of finding something.
