First-Class Lawyer

Chapter 119 Sequelae

The old fox in Joe's mouth, his father, Mr. Devo Evers, is a well-known figure in the entire league.

However, most people's impression of him stays in various news reports. Mr. Ewes always has an approachable and polite smile, and his silver hair is well-groomed with a little unfaded gold at the end.

Even if he has passed his prime and started to age, he is still a gentleman.

The Eves family has had this kind of temperament for several generations, so the public favorability is very high.

The grandparents started with military materials, then turned to civilian use, and then set foot in various fields. The Eves family always went very smoothly, which has nothing to do with their family temperament and image.

In Master Qiao's generation... probably because of a genetic mutation——

The elder sister is fierce and the younger brother is stupid.

Master Joe's on-screen Mr. DeVoe Ewes is rare, though.

In the jumping photo, Ewes is sitting in the study, staring at the camera, holding a glass ashtray in one hand, as if he is about to throw it towards the camera in the next second.

All manners and manners are gone, far from his usual public image.

This kind of photo looks like Master Qiao's handwriting, and only he can make Mr. Ives, a gentleman in the eyes of the public, like this.

Qiao Xukong flicked the screen, admiring his father's violent heroic appearance, snorted and muttered: "Hand shaking again..."

After speaking, he hung up the communication without hesitation.

"No answer?" Gu Yan asked.

"No answer! His hands must be shaking. When has he dialed me for so many years? Eunice always told me what to do." Joe snorted and said, "You don't know, last year I went to After a while. When he was hospitalized, I thought there was something wrong, so I picked it up without thinking, but guess what, the old fox said 'wrong number' when he heard my voice, and then gave the call to Hang up. Can you bear this for you? Anyway, I don’t.”

As a result, as soon as he finished speaking, a new communication request popped up again.

His screen settings haven't been changed, and the angle is still flat, Yan Suizhi and Gu Yan can see clearly as soon as the communication request comes out.

It is still the old father who was furious.

"Again?" Joe raised his eyebrows.

The possibility of shaking hands twice in a row is too small, and this time something really happened.

Joe hesitated for two seconds, then pinched his nose sullenly and nodded for confirmation.

"What's the matter?" He didn't even say hello, and just threw out such a sentence when he got connected.

For some unknown reason, there was a sudden rustling sound on the other side, and then a female voice came over, muttering something in a low voice, saying: "Hello!"

Joe froze for a moment, "Eunice? You take the old...you have something to do with your smartphone, what are you doing with his? I'm afraid I'll pick it up?"

"I'm sick?" Elder sister Eunice said, "He was the one who dialed, and when he spoke, he threw the earbuds into my hands. No more nonsense, we can't go to Hanjin Garden Hotel."

"...Oh, clap your hands and applaud." Joe snorted, "No, he dialed here just to let you say this? The police station is closed, who can come in, and he needs to tell me? Tell me? Such a roundabout. Where are you?"

Eunice said: "It's in the Fawang District. I had already gone to the hotel, but I suddenly received the news on the way. The old man is worried about you, so we stayed here first."

As soon as he finished speaking, DeVo Everth's majestic voice came faintly from beside Eunice, "Fart!"

Eunice was not afraid of him at all, and continued to say to Joe: "Don't talk to him, he just heard that there was a murder, he was not at ease, and he was looking for an excuse to talk to you. It has been an hour of hypocrisy."

"What nonsense?!" DeVo Eves reprimanded ungentlemanly.

Eunice: "Why are you talking nonsense? Didn't you urge me to call this fool last time?"

Joe: "... Ms. Eunice, I'm still listening, can you be careful with your words?"

Eunice: "You shut up and wait."

She seemed to be going around in circles with DeVo Ewes, and Ewes said angrily, "What nonsense, give me the earbuckles!"

"It's late," Eunice said.

"Why are you snatching my smart phone!" Ewes said again amidst some ping-pong-pong.

When the father and daughter yelled at each other, the voice was louder than the other. Even if Joe didn't open it publicly, he could still hear it.

Out of politeness, Yan Suizhi gestured to Qiao, signaling him and Gu Yan to avoid it first.

In the end, Young Master Qiao was very open-minded, waved his hand at them, and mouthed: "What are you running for? It's not worth it, and it's not a secret."

While they were talking, a series of high-heeled shoes clicked and clicked in their earbuds, followed by the sound of locking the door.

Eunice lowered her voice, "Don't talk about that, you should be careful about the hotel over there...Maybe it has something to do with Manson and the others."

"What do you mean? How do you know it's about Manson? What did you hear?" Joe asked.

Gu Yan and Yan Suizhi looked at him.

"No." Eunice said, "The police station just briefly told us that something happened to you, is it a duty officer in the monitoring room?"

"Oh, yes."

"That's why it's strange. Is it a bit reluctant for a duty officer to think of Manson and the others? But the old man thinks so." Eunice paused and said, "I think we might have misunderstood the relationship between the old man and the Manson family before. Things may not be as simple as we thought before."

"..." Joe was silent for a moment.In the past two years, he occasionally had the illusion that his relationship with his father Ewes was not that bad, such as just now.

Partly because Ewes was really estranged from the Manson family, partly because Eunice was mediating it.

But once the topic of "before" was brought up, he would feel a little disgusted again.

Eunice thought for a while and then said, "However, it is a bit troublesome to find out about those things now. The information is not complete, and it is even more difficult to avoid the old man's network. After all, some cases are not easy to handle."

Joe scratched his hair, instinctively rejecting such topics.After hearing this, he made a vague "hmm" in his throat.

He had mixed feelings about Eunice's words.

On the one hand, if his speculation about his father these decades was a misunderstanding, it would actually be a good thing, and he even looked forward to it.

But on the other hand, he was worried that the result of the investigation would be a solid foundation for the previous conjectures.

"Some people didn't do it." Joe couldn't help but say something.

But after he finished speaking, he wanted to bite off his tongue again.Because it really sounds like agitation.

Sure enough, it was his attitude that Eunice was waiting for.

She immediately said: "Yes, there were also a few marginal incidents. The lawyers, judges, and police stations who were in charge of handling them at the time may have nothing to do with those lunatic families, but..."

Eunice fell into a dilemma again as she spoke, "It's actually hard to determine, who can be sure which one is true and which one is pretending is fine."

With the family business card of Ewes behind them, everything they did was easier than others.News comes faster than ordinary people, and checking things is easier than ordinary people.Some people spend more than ten years to touch the edge, they may start at the center.

But at a certain point, they will stop because of the intertwined family relationship, and they will be more constrained than ordinary people, and finally they will turn to people outside the relationship circle for help.

"Eh? By the way, where is Gu? He is a lawyer, and he is one of the rare people who can rest assured. How about... Eunice said.

Qiao Xin said that among the three lawyers in front of me, all of them are quite reassuring, and none of them are missing at all.

He glanced at the people on the sofa.

To be honest, he doesn't want to involve the person he cares about in this kind of thing, it's best not to touch it with a single finger.In order not to find out something and dirty their hands, it will affect the relationship.

but……

If you really don't mention it and keep silent about your friends, it's also not a good thing.

Master Qiao felt that half of his mind was going to be tangled up. He was really not good at such things that required repeated deliberation. He couldn't stop rubbing his face into shape, "He's a few years younger than me. have touched those."

"Any older ones?" Eunice asked.

She said with some regret, "Hey——"

"What are you talking about?" Joe grimaced.

"I think of someone, and if he's still around, I can ask," Eunice said.

"Who?"

"The former dean of your law school," Eunice said.

Joe was a little shocked: "You still have friendship with him? Why didn't I know?"

"Nonsense, who will report to you when I meet? Besides, you don't want to get involved in any family affairs, you know what a fart!" After Eunice scolded him, he said, "It can't be regarded as friendship, because in the group I have dealt with some of the things in the past several times, but I can be sure that he has nothing to do with Manson and his ilk. And it was only in the past few months that I discovered that a case he handled in his early years was actually related to those previous things... ..."

Joe froze for a moment, "What case?"

"It's early, a medical case," Eunice said.

Medical case?

Qiao reacted, he was not a masochist from the law school, nor was he a victim who had a crush on him for ten years, so he didn't know Yan Suizhi's life history in detail.Most of them were heard from Gu Yan.

Among the ones he knows, medical cases really exist... Isn't it the old case that Gu Yan wrote an analysis report for a month and then wasted?

He was searching in his mind, and Eunice said again, "Forget it, it's useless to talk about it, people are gone."

Joe "..."

Hmm... Let me know about bringing the dead back to life?

Neither Yan Suizhi nor Gu Yan had any perverted hobbies, nor were they interested in eavesdropping on other people's family conversations.

Even if Manson is involved, you can ask Joe after hanging up the communication.Therefore, when Eunice's voice fell, both Gu Yan and Yan Suizhi consciously closed their ears.

They were now more focused on the picture of DeVo Everth throwing an ashtray.

Because they saw a very interesting decoration in the corner of DeVo Everth's desk——

A decoration in the shape of a playing card "grass flower".

"What do you think?" Yan Suizhi pushed Gu Yan's finger and asked in a low voice.

Gu Yan glanced at the tips of his flicking fingers, "Well, I'll ask later."

As soon as the two of them looked up, they found that Young Master Qiao had hung up the communication, and the earbuds had not been removed, and his faint eyes were fixed on Yan Suizhi, with hesitation, expectation, entanglement and... cowardice.It was as if he was suppressing something, and he stopped talking.

Yan Suizhi: "?"

Lawyer Gu: "???"
