First-Class Lawyer

Chapter 130 Eves

Joe was driving in the proportional mode, so the screen projected by the smartphone took up most of the living room.

When the sound and picture appeared, they seemed to be pulled into the scene of the year, watching the scene of an afternoon decades ago from the photographer's perspective.

Qiao froze for a moment, his expression was in a trance and emotion for a moment.

He used a small screen to watch last night, and his attention was on counting the heads of the people, so he didn't think much of it.Now that the most restored mode is turned on, I suddenly have the illusion of returning to my childhood, and I feel an indescribable feeling in my heart.

The manor building in the video falls on the other side of the living room, just like the real thing.

Although only the lower edges of the windows on the first and second floors are seen in the mirror, you can still feel that a complete manor should be exquisite and grand.

In front of the building is a well-built flower stand, which stands on the lush grass and is shaded by tall and prosperous fruit trees.

Under the shade of the trees are high tables, on which sumptuous afternoon tea is placed.The tables and chairs were arranged in a random manner, roughly forming a circle. A group of well-dressed people enjoyed afternoon tea while chatting and laughing, both men and women. At first glance, the atmosphere was not bad, because a few hearty laughs could be heard.

Near the camera, that is, Yan Suizhi and the others are sitting next to the sofa, there is a well-trimmed hedge and swing chairs.It can be seen that the person who took the photo was leaning on the swing.

"This is—" Joe reached out his hand to introduce the location, but got stuck.

"The old manor of the Manson family." Someone answered his words.

"Ah... yes, the old manor of the Manson family." Qiao subconsciously turned her head, only to realize that the person who answered the conversation was Yan Suizhi.

"Do you know the dean?" Joe was a little surprised.

All kinds of reports about the Manson family will put several mansions of their family in the picture from time to time, this old manor is an exception, it hardly appears in any reports.Just because this estate will hold a party from time to time, the Manson family is very strict.

Unless it is a guest invited by the Manson family, no one really knows this place.

"Have you been?" asked Joe.

Yan Suizhi shook his head: "I happen to know."

His glass was half full of milk, but he didn't drink any more, but held the glass loosely in his hands on his knees.With his upper body leaning against the back of the chair, he looked elegant and relaxed. His eyes fell a little far away, scanning the guests under the shade of the trees, with a very calm expression on his face.

Qiao has never struggled to survive in law school, so he doesn't know Yan Suizhi's temperament as well as Gu Yan, Ke Jin, and Laura.But he could still feel that Yan Suizhi's mood wasn't bad, but it wasn't that good either.

At least not as good as when I first woke up.

After the camera stabilized, a female voice sounded in the living room: "On May 1227, 5 in Irma's Gregorian calendar, the location is still Manson Manor. I was tricked by my own father into attending this bloody boring party. I pretended for two and a half hours. Fake lady, the newly bought high heels don’t fit as well as they did when I tried them on, both heels are bleeding, the pain is so painful that I still have to keep smiling. I doubt that in the half hour just now, I might have laughed like I wanted to eat people..."

Qiao laughed dryly, taking advantage of the gap between the female voice, and explained: "Ms. Eunice loved taking this kind of dynamic diary when she was young, because she insisted that she would want to relive the past when she was 170 years old. Who wouldn't?" It's time to be silly. Bear with me."

Eunice's voice didn't sound as crisp as it does now. More than 20 years ago, she had just joined the family affairs for a few years, and her tone was still lively from school, and the endings of some complaining sentences were a bit delicate.

"During the intermission just now, I escaped, and I was—" the camera turned back, and I could see a large garden and two nearby swing ropes, "I'm hiding here on the swing for a while, I hope the garden The kids who are rolling around don't come near me, including my idiot brother."

Joe: "..."

He regretted that he just fast-forwarded yesterday and didn't review the content at the beginning.

Ms. Eunice did not speak well of him.

The camera cuts back to the direction of the guests and focuses on a man sitting in the shade of a tree, a slightly younger DeVoe Everth.Resting his elbows relaxed on the arm of the chair, he took his time wiping his glasses.

On his left, a man with a round face was gesturing and talking to him.

"Let's start from the far right. This is Mr. Bevin, the manufacturer of medical cabins. He has been trying to persuade us to replace all the medical cabins in Ivy Hospital today. However, the batch of medical cabins were just replaced last year, and he ordered them from him." The camera fixed on the round-faced man's face for a few seconds, and Eunice whispered teasingly: "Dad must be saying in his heart: Fuck you, stop dreaming. But Mr. Bevan's harvest is not bad, after all, just now The Manson brothers ordered a batch of newest medical pods with him on the spot, and placed them in various residences, saying that they were for their father’s recuperation anytime and anywhere. The rest were given to each of the guests present.”

While the camera didn't turn, Joe said in Eunice's voice, "Didn't I say that the old fox brought some medical and medicine people to Manson? This Bell is one of them. I remember him at this party." I have been here about three times. His medical cabin is upgraded every year, and the Manson brothers also order a batch on the spot every year for Old Manson and all the guests. In fact, the number is not too many, at most 40 sets. One thing is that Nisi found out later that she saw the delivery list at that time through some channels. The quantity filled in the list is no problem, 40 sets, but the delivery vehicles are silver snakes every time. Silver snakes, you know, There is no problem with the cargo capacity of 200 sets of medical pods. These businessmen are very careful about their budgets, and don’t use more suitable vehicles, isn’t it a little strange?”

He hesitated for a while as he spoke, and then said: "Ivy's medical cabin is basically used by his house. Later, the old fox seemed to have some trouble with him a year later. I heard the old fox mentioned that he would terminate his order and replace it with another one." Family, but for no logical reason. Not long after that...maybe two or three months? He just...died. Then the Ivy hospital's medical unit was changed."

"The cause of death?" Gu Yan asked.

27 Eight years ago, he was only four or five years old.So many people die in the alliance every year, and there are not a few businessmen.He has no impression of these old things.

Joe said, "Overdose, a painkiller."

"Painkillers?"

"He has been suffering from severe neuralgia."

During their communication, Eunice has turned the camera a few times and mentioned several guests one by one, and these are all acquaintances.

"...Mr. Cliff, no accident, he dragged my dad and Mr. Ken Manson to give a speech. 'Without the two of you, it will take me at least 60 years to catch this shuttle machine production line, And those A-level transportation tracks', Barbara, this opening line is the same every year, and I will memorize it."

"Ah - sitting next to him is his son, a little older than me, I forgot what his name is, let's call him Little Cliff. I don't like his eyes very much, the way he looks at the back of his father's head , like saying 'when will you bastards be able to abdicate and give way to the virtuous', he looked at my dad even more disgustingly. I think he doesn't like any family with deep roots, maybe it's because of jealousy? Wait for another 20 years and he will probably be able to inherit Family business, let me mourn in advance for myself 20 years later, it’s a hell to deal with this kind of person.”

Yan Suizhi's expression was still calm, but the tip of his eyebrows raised.

The one who lives in the Hunking Hotel now is the so-called Little Cliff. Over the past 20 years, as expected, one generation has changed, and the position of the head of the family has changed.

"He doesn't like the family?" Yan Suizhi casually mentioned.

Joe said: "I have limited dealings with him, and Eunice has more, according to her. After chatting with him for a long time, I can feel from some of his tone, eyes and some detailed movements that he doesn't like the family. , especially don’t like my family.”

Yan Suizhi nodded.

"what happened?"

"It's nothing." Yan Suizhi said lightly, "Thinking of how he played poker before, I think it's kind of interesting."

"What's it like? Tricky and punchy?" Joe muttered.

"The spades and hearts were casually thrown away in the distance, the diamonds were placed in front of me, and the flowers were played in his hands." Yan Suizhi has a good memory, and when he recalls, he can even reproduce Cliff's expressions and small movements at that time .

"So?" Qiao looked at him blankly, and poked Gu Yan again as if asking for help, "Help me, I feel like I'm back in the time when I was taking elective courses."

Young Master Qiao's mind was filled with water, and this was the case during the law school elective class. Most of the class were thoughtful under Yan Suizhi's prompting, but he didn't know anything. He could only poke Ke Jin to the left and Gu Yan to the right, begging a clearer explanation.

Gu Yan also got used to it, "Do you remember the theory of poker suits? Flowers represent status, power and prestige, referring to families like yours or Manson's, and diamonds represent money and resources."

"Oh oh oh——" Young Master Qiao nodded repeatedly like a rooster crowing, and said, "I understand what you mean."

What is placed in front of oneself is always the closest to self-awareness.The square represents Cliff himself.

And his playing with the flowers shows that he has no respect for those families.There is even a hint of condescending disdain and disapproval, perhaps because they feel that they are relying on their ancestors' legacy, which does not mean how strong they are.

Joe: "But he has a very good relationship with the Manson Brothers. It's not the kind to win over power. They played together when they were young."

Yan Suizhi: "So I think it's a bit interesting."

……

Eunice introduced a lot of people in turn, and Joe picked some to add.

"This mustache Mr. Zhou is a professor at the University of Batlia School of Medicine. He is very powerful. At that time, many famous doctors and researchers in the Ivy Hospital were his students. The Manson brothers would chat with him for a long time every time, about Old Manson's previous illnesses, including future prevention and recuperation, etc. This is also... the old fox suddenly stopped using his students, and in the next three or four years, the doctors and researchers related to him in the Ivy Hospital were dismissed. Those who were transferred were transferred away, and those who were fired were fired. Not long after that, this professor suddenly had an alarm clock syndrome."

This is a degenerative dementia that is difficult to treat in the league today, and the elderly are a high-risk group.People who suffer from this disease will forget most things, only remember some habits at fixed times, which are repeated every day, and are extremely sensitive to time, and they will lose control of their emotions within a few minutes.

……

"This Ms. Luce is very powerful. She should be the youngest of these people. According to Eunice, she was less than 40 years old when the filming took place. Several men were pursuing her, but she didn't respond to any of them. In the second year, she married an ordinary teacher very willfully. She was unknown, the kind whose last name no one remembered, and she was said to have given birth to a daughter? She was holding two medicine ore lines in her hand. At that time, a batch of medicine raw materials that were common in the market came from her medicine mine, and later got into a big trouble. It was said that some medicines on the market were found to be faulty, causing Many drug users were mentally disturbed. However, the sleeping aid drugs commonly used by these business leaders were also among them. In the end, they traced the source and gave the pot to the drug mine. But there are many interests involved, and the news was tightly suppressed. In the end, they quietly Killed those two drug mine lines, the lady went to jail and killed herself the next year."

Joe thought for a while and added: "It's a bit of a coincidence that the painkillers I just mentioned about the Mr. Bell who died of an overdose were also included in this batch of problematic medicines."

……

Eunice's dynamic diary is not short, and it took four sections back and forth.It took them more than half an hour to finally see the end.

Joe introduced seven or eight people in particular, and each person's affairs seemed to be nothing, not unusual.But it does make people think too much together-these people who met DeVo Everth and were introduced to the Manson family all died in a hurry.

"Before each of them had an accident, the old fox had more or less expressions and actions." Joe said, "The more you check, the more it proves that his reactions are not coincidental. In fact, there are more than that. There are several other people at this party. , except that they were not in the shade when the video was recorded, and Eunice said that some went to the bathroom, and a couple came late because of business delays—”

While speaking, the sound of pattering footsteps suddenly came from Eunice's camera, and it sounded like something was running over.

Joe stopped abruptly.

A little devil's voice came into the camera, from far to near, "Sister! You! Again! Steal! Shoot! Didn't you say that you are not allowed to shoot randomly here!"

"Shhhhhhh——" Eunice booed a few times, warning the brat to keep his voice down, and then the camera turned and said helplessly, "God, the idiot came to me!"

However, the timing of her turning was not very coincidental. She happened to be hit by the launched imp. The camera spun around for a while, and then fell to the ground with a bang.

"Grass? And this part? Why didn't I see this part yesterday..." Joe touched his nose in embarrassment. Yiruo lost her balance and knelt down. Luckily, there were hedges blocking her, so she was not seen by those people... But she probably never lost face like that, and she was very angry. Later, I was beaten up by Ms. Eunice awful."

"Sister, I'm sorry."

In the camera, the mini version of the blond young master put his face in front of the camera. He looked petrified. He wanted to help Eunice in a panic, and because Eunice made a gesture to beat him, he turned his head and ran away. return.

Eunice picked up the camera and forgot to turn it off in her haste.Just pinch the neckline like that, limped through the hedges and gardens, found a sink and washed the dust on his palms and knees.

After washing it, she sneered, and turned around to catch the silly brother and beat him up.

"It's nothing, I'll turn it off." Young Master Qiao covered his face, planning to turn off Black History.

As a result, just as he was about to put away the screen, Eunice shot out of a hedge and almost ran into a person.

It was a beautiful lady. She was startled by Eunice. In order to avoid collision, she subconsciously took two steps back, and was supported by the shoulders of a tall man following behind.

Judging from the direction they were going, they should come from the main entrance of the Manson Manor. They were the "couple who were late because of something" in Joe's mouth.

On the screen, Eunice's voice sounded, and she said with some embarrassment: "Sorry, I was in a hurry, and I didn't see you turn around."

The lady who was almost hit waved her hands and smiled, pulled the loose strands of hair behind her ears, her beautiful eyes were bent, and even a small mole at the corner of her eyes became gentle and vivid: "Then I should also say Sorry, the garden is beautiful, I've been looking around."

The tall and handsome man who was supporting her nodded in Eunice's direction.

Eunice gave way to the two of them, and hurried to catch up with her brother running through the hedge, but she didn't take two steps before turning her head for another look.

The couple just now appeared in the camera again, but this time it was from the back, they walked a little farther, and stopped after a while.

The lady went around behind her husband, nudged him on the back and said, "Go ahead, so that if I lose my mind again, it won't be someone else."

The man was tall, and he didn't move when he was pushed. He turned to look at her, and said "yes" in agreement, "There is no one behind you. After the collision, you should sit on the ground. Of course, it is not someone else who is unlucky."

Miss:"……"

Eunice laughed off-camera.

Gu Yan on the sofa looked at the faces of the couple, and slowly frowned.

Eunice finally realized that the video was still being filmed, and raised her hand to turn off the camera.

The holographic screen in the living room suddenly went dark, and the light and shadow disappeared.

Gu Yan's eyebrows were still not loosened, and some thoughts were about to pop up in his mind.

Immediately afterwards, Yan Suizhi who was beside him suddenly spoke up and said, "Joe, do me a favor."

Gu Yan turned his head to look at him, and saw that his eyes were still on the place where the couple stood just now, a little lost in thought.

"Huh?" Young Master Qiao was stunned for a moment, "Oh yes, what's the matter?"

"Replay the part just now." Yan Suizhi said.

"Of course." Joe called up the video again, and said while adjusting the progress: "What's wrong with this part? Is there any detail I didn't notice?"

Yan Suizhi didn't answer for a while, until the holographic image moved forward quickly under Joe's pull, and Eunice's background sound was pulled high and sharply, then he came back to his senses and replied calmly and casually: "Oh , no details. I just want to see those two people again, so that Gu Yan can also meet."

The image has been adjusted to the end during the speech, and the camera shakes again.

It was Eunice's brother who had run into the hedge.

Then there was another corner, another soft exclamation, and the sound of hurried footsteps...

The couple is very close to the camera, and very close to the trio sitting on the couch.

Maybe it's just one step away.

They stood there, bending their eyes towards Yan Suizhi's direction.
