Tacitus in love, Plato in trap

Chapter 9 Visiting the door

"How about it?"

"Well……"

"Sure enough, you also...?"

"kindness……"

"I'll just say it!"

"what……"

"This is great. Thanks to you, the office phone number and our mobile phone numbers have all been blocked! Now we are completely hated by the client!" Fang Quan folded his hands on his chest angrily, and fell behind "I can't find anyone, how can the case continue?!"

"There are too many cases where people can't be found, and they are not all closed in the end." Yi Zhongming adjusted his glasses, turned his head and looked out the window, "And you can't blame me for this matter?!"

"Yeah, 90% of the responsibility is really not 'full'~~"

"Don't tell me you're confusing black and white! 90% of the responsibility is clearly on that girl surnamed Ma, and I can only account for 10% at most!!! At most!!!"

In the batch of cases received before, the dispute over the validity of the contract requiring the defendant to fulfill the obligation of delivering the house fell into an unprecedented predicament two weeks after Fang Quan got the file: the defendant, Ms. Ma, failed to register the ownership in time after her husband passed away. Therefore, her mother-in-law and daughter should also be listed as co-defendants as legal heirs in this case, and they need to go to court to go through relevant additional procedures.After Fang Quan and the others were sent pigeons several times, Ms. Ma began to decline by saying that she was busy with work and could not come to handle it in person, so Yi Zhongming, who was still preparing for the middle school competition at the time, made an appointment with her to come to the door without thinking clearly. Formalities.However, the day before the appointment, Yi Zhongming was temporarily notified to go to the middle court for a competition, and the plan to come to the court had to fall through. This made the defendant who asked for leave to go home very angry.Later, in order to ensure that the trial time would not continue to be delayed, Yi Zhongming asked Fang Quan to send the summons and a sufficient amount of power of attorney to Ms. Ma. As a result, Ms. Ma saw the plaintiff's statement that "the defendant shall bear the litigation costs" on the copy of the complaint. After the routine request, he became even more furious, and since then completely expressed his unwillingness to cooperate with the work of the court, which directly led to the current situation where the office phone, Fang Quan's and Yi Zhongming's mobile numbers were all blocked by the other party.

"If you didn't just agree to come to the door at that time, we can at least talk to Ms. Ma now..."

"Blame me? I didn't know that the game would be that day?" It's already reached this point, yet Yi Zhongming still seems to be so easy-going, which is really irritating.

"Why don't you know better than—"

"Oh, I heard what you said, are you looking for someone now?" A chuckle came from the driver's seat in front, "Do you want me to help you~~"

"Thank you for your kindness." Yi Zhongming replied with a straight face, "Not to mention that this case has nothing to do with you, and I can't compliment your level of finding people—you count by yourself, and you brought to our court. How many default judgments, Qian!"

"I can't help it. I owe a lot of debt. Of course, normal people will first think of running away~~ In fact, in many cases, you can find what you want, but it's not worthwhile for us~~Of course it is." I will take more care of the case that Xiao Ming is presiding over~~" Qian Kun said with a brisk smile, "Look at today, it has been almost two months since the notice of copy of the indictment was served, and I found out his whereabouts I will take you to find him right away. Look, Xiao Ming, how much I think about your work!"

Delivery is indeed a very important matter, and it is of course great to be able to find the defendant, but suddenly being informed of this kind of news is more like disrupting normal work... Fang Quan sighed softly and looked out of the car window outside.

Fifteen minutes ago, he and Yi Zhongming were having a lively court session, and now they had to rush to the place where the elusive defendant in a private lending dispute was located.If the defendant can be found today, then in order to prevent him from running away again, maybe the court will be held tomorrow. If the court is full tomorrow, the previously scheduled case will have to be postponed for the case that has been found today. , and then the parties have to be called, and another subpoena has to be issued...

……Exhausted……

Just a week ago because Yi Zhongming was going to play in the middle court, he went through such a hell. Could it be yesterday once more today? !

This is why Fang Quan hates unexpected events: they will not only disrupt the immediate scheduled plan, but also produce a series of chain reactions in the future.

For example, the case of Ms. Ma...

... Ah, everything in the world, why can't you develop in accordance with the provisions of the Civil Procedure Law and better cooperate with our work progress?Especially for defendants like Ms. Ma, don't go missing when you want to find them, or go arbitrarily when you don't have time to talk to them——

——Wait, this Ms. Ma doesn't seem to be considered "missing"?The so-called "can't find someone" is just "can't get in touch".This Ms. Ma just didn't transfer the ownership of the house to others, so there's absolutely no need to hide and hide like the defendant in the private lending dispute!People can still be found!

Since this is the case, then this case is still within the controllable range, even the plaintiff, no, even Yi Zhongming can be settled without trouble!

"If you really care about our work, drive quickly!" Yi Zhongming next to him rolled his eyes at Qian Kun in the front row, "The smell of air freshener in this car really makes me sick."

"What, Xiao Ming~~~ I obviously just changed because I thought you were going to take my car soon~~~"

"Hurry up!!! Otherwise, anyone who can find it will run away!!!"

"I'm in good spirits... I still have the strength to bicker... I need to take a rest..."

Ignoring the dispute between Yi Zhongming and Qian Kun, Fang Quan closed his eyes and let his body sink into the large leather seat more comfortably.

*******************************************************************************

"I am back……"

The location of the bus station seems to have been moved forward by 100 meters, and the name of the station is not the same as it was at the beginning. Fang Quan was almost unrecognizable.

It's good to change, so as not to see those people and things in the past, and think of some past things.He came here for work, to talk to Ms. Ma about the case in person, not to feel sentimental or to revisit the old place.

If it weren't for checking the map, Fang Quan would never have thought that the neighborhood where Ms. Ma lived was nearby.After getting out of the car, Fang Quan, who had lived here for 15 years, still couldn't deduce the location of the community.Unwilling and helpless, he turned on the map again to navigate for himself.

"Go to the intersection ahead and turn left...huh?"

If I remember correctly, this should be where my home used to be, right?Unconsciously, Fang Quan stopped at a familiar corner.

There are no homes here anymore, not even houses.Instead of the row of closely connected shops, there is a small square in the center of the street surrounded by greenery. In the evening, many old men and women gathered here, and some of them were adjusting the audio equipment and preparing to dance for a while.

"Don't look, even if you stare through those houses, you won't be able to come back."

Even if there is loud music and the roar of car engines in his ears, he can't hear that sound wrong.

"This place was demolished four years ago," Yi Zhongming said regretfully, wearing a washed and faded blue T-shirt, holding on to a sports bike with vegetables hanging on the handlebars, "here There used to be a small restaurant that I quite liked, and there was also a non-staple food store that I always came to buy snacks when I was studying..."

"Yo, Yi... Chief Justice?!" Fang Quan greeted awkwardly, all his attention was on the handlebar of the car full of vegetables, "What's your situation?"

"What's the situation? Is it so strange for me to buy vegetables and cook a meal after get off work?" Yi Zhongming pushed his glasses quickly with his hand, and then quickly stabilized the car that was about to fall, "It's you, you are not allowed to go!"

"I haven't said anything!!! How did you know I was going???"

"You guys are so easy to understand!" Yi Zhongming curled his lips, "Sneakily flipping through the files, finding all sorts of reasons to urge me to leave work early, and now appearing in this place again - as far as I know about you, you are not a person who likes to go around Someone who hangs around? So..."

"Today, today just happened to be in this mood..."

"Have you brought your work permit?"

"Huh?! I told you I'm here—"

"In this case, it's best to bring the paper for the interrogation record. By the way, with that bitch's temper, she might have thrown the subpoena, so to be on the safe side, the set of things related to the subpoena must also be taken." Just get ready."

"Forehead……"

"Besides, it doesn't meet the procedural requirements for one person to come to the door. At least two people are required. You mustn't forget about the rules or something?"

"...Since that's the case," Fang Quan lowered his head and muttered in a low voice, "It's fine if you come together too..."

"Today, I won't go." Yi Zhongming said firmly, "And you, go back early, so as not to worry Lao Wang—by the way, have you eaten? If you haven't eaten..."

"I've eaten it, I bought it on the way just now—"

Goo~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Even in such a noisy environment, the sound of the stomach has successfully attracted the attention of many passers-by.

"...As expected, I didn't eat..." Looking at Fang Quan's face flushed, Yi Zhongming sighed softly, "Come, come to my house, and I will cook. I just want to see you don't go to that surname." run where the horse is."

"Your house? Near here?" Fang Quan took a step back vigilantly.

"Nonsense, who would go to a place other than home to buy groceries?!"

"Going like this all of a sudden, your family..."

"There is no one else in my family, only myself." Yi Zhongming casually adjusted the distance between the handles on both sides, "Hurry up, don't waste my time."

"I'm not going, you faggot!" Fang Quan turned his head, "And now I'm off work, you have no right to order me!"

"Don't pull it down!" Yi Zhongming turned the faucet, "Then I'll send you back to the court, and let Lao Wang keep you from running around."

what a troublesome guy...

"Forget it, I'd better go to your house and make do with it..."

*******************************************************************************

"How? Is it delicious?"

Fang Quan put down his chopsticks and fell into deep thought.

It's definitely not delicious. If you have to say it, you can tell it's made by a burly man like Yi Zhongming once you eat it.Considering that Yi Zhongming is the one who cooks, here is where I should honestly express my feelings——

"It's unpalatable to a level that no one can match..." Fang Quan scooped up the tofu soup with a spoon and poured it on the rice, and started to eat it.

"What, it's unpalatable, so don't eat it so deliciously." Pulling away the chair, Yi Zhongming unbuttoned his apron and sat down after finishing his work, "You just won't admit it, kid? The taste is not bad, isn't it?" ?"

"It seems that you are not just thick-skinned at work..." Fang Quan glared at Yi Zhongming, "Everything tastes good when you are hungry, you should understand this truth, right?"

"It's as if you haven't had enough to eat in your previous life..."

"Actually," Fang Quan put down the soup bowl, and stuck out his scalded tongue, "I haven't eaten dinner seriously since I came to work in the court..."

"Huh? Why?" Yi Zhongming slammed the bowl on the table, frowning, "You don't have to pay rent when you live in the courtyard, and you also get subsidies for lunch on weekdays. No matter what, you can still eat more than 1000 yuan a month." Can you afford dinner?"

"I have to save money for the postgraduate entrance examination..." Fang Quan covered his face with a bowl, "I can make do with last year's English, and for professional courses, I have to buy the latest monograph of the tutor I want to apply for, as well as the internal real questions over the years-that's true It’s so expensive. Politics can actually make do with it, but when the time comes, you still have to buy the latest ones to watch current politics... These are actually a small amount of money, and the most important thing is to enroll in a weekend class and go to classes systematically... People are not Do you say that dinner is the least important meal of the day? As long as you can finally pass the graduate school, what does it matter if you don’t eat dinner for a few months?"

"Oh~~~~~~" Yi Zhongming chewed the food in his mouth nonchalantly, "You are like a headless chicken when you work, but you have planned the postgraduate entrance examination very well."

"Because the court clerks in Sanshui basically only need a postgraduate degree or above. How can I become a judge if I don't take the postgraduate entrance examination..." Fang Quan picked up a chopsticks of scrambled eggs with green peppers and put them into his mouth in frustration, and then his expression changed. It was even more painful, "Why can you make a simple scrambled egg with green pepper so unpalatable?!"

"Is it that unpalatable?" Yi Zhongming still stood up and walked into the kitchen to take out a bottle of ketchup, "Here, pour it on scrambled eggs with green peppers, my favorite combination."

"...Isn't it better for my country's goddess Laoganma...Scrambled eggs with green peppers and tomato sauce, it feels like a dark cuisine..."

"It doesn't matter if you're dark or not, hurry up and give me a bite to eat!"

Closing his eyes, Fang Quan put the green pepper scrambled eggs topped with tomato sauce into his mouth.

"...?!"

"how?"

“Delicious tomato sauce…”

"You kid is trying to be against me!" After drinking the soup in the bowl, Yi Zhongming threw the bowl on the table, "Whether it's work or taste..."

"Obviously you insisted on bringing me to your house for dinner..." Fang Quan put down his chopsticks. Although it was unpalatable, he ate more than half of the dishes on the table. "Really, if you don't know how to cook, you have to pretend X..."

"Hey, it's just that it doesn't taste good. Is it a bit too much to say that I don't know how to cook?"

"That's not cooking very often."

"I live alone and the three masters don't cook often. What should I eat?! Is it necessary for you to look down on my cooking skills? You obviously ate so much..." Yi Zhongming stood up and cleared the table with an unhappy face , "Have you finished eating? Finished eating! Then I will wash the dishes now, you go to the room and wait for me first."

"In the room???"

"On the right hand side of the dining room, my bedroom."

"bedroom???"

Suspicious, this is too suspicious!

I kept emphasizing that I live alone before, so calling him home is not as simple as eating and preventing running around!

"Ah, if you want to go to bed, remember to take off your outer clothes before going up." Yi Zhongming shouted to Fang Quan from the kitchen.

Ha, after a few words, the fox's tail appeared!

"Just wait and see, Yi Zhongming, I will be fully prepared this time!"

Breathing hastened unconsciously, are you looking forward to the next development?How can it be!He is not the same kind as Yi Zhongming and Qian Kun, so he will naturally hate doing that kind of thing.Fang Quan just wanted to take this opportunity to leave some evidence in order to take revenge on Yi Zhongming in the future!That's all, absolutely no other distracting thoughts! ...no distractions! ... Absolutely not! ! ... Well, well, there is indeed one more thing: last time Yi Zhongming only completed half of it, and he solved the rest by himself. This time, he must let that guy pay back twice as much!

...I always feel a bit like fishing.

Hmph, a guy like Yi Zhongming deserves it even if he gets caught!

Pushing open the door on the right side of the dining room, a gust of cool air came blowing in - the natural wind was blowing in the dining room just now, Fang Quan thought that Yi Zhongming's house didn't have an air conditioner, but it turned out to be installed in the bedroom!However, this air conditioner is quite old. It used to be a pure white body, but now it looks like the teeth of an old smoker, at least ten years old.Except for the laptop on the table, the other furniture in the room doesn’t look new: a wooden wardrobe, an old-fashioned Simmons double bed, a student’s desk with a sense of age... just like the rest of his home, Yi Zhongming's room also has a strong atmosphere of the 90s, it doesn't look like a place for young people to live at all.

Is it a rented house?No way!As a native of Sanshui, Yi Zhongming has absolutely no need for this!What's more, it's not too close to the court, so if you want to rent it, you have to rent a little closer.Besides, the cost of renting such a two-bedroom apartment in the city center is not just for fun...

In summary, it is impossible to rent a house.

"If it's not rented, this is Yi Zhongming's own home..." Sitting on the bed, Fang Quan muttered to himself, "The architectural style should be a house in the late 80s and early 90s, so Yi Zhongming is very Maybe he grew up here... His house is not far from my original address, so to speak..."

A question came to Fang Quan's mind.

"Hey!!! You have to listen to other people's food!!!" Fang Quan almost fell to the ground with a roar, "Didn't I tell you to take it off before going to bed? How dare you just sit there with your pants on ?!"

"What's the hurry, and it's not too late..." Fang Quan stood up reluctantly, pulled off his T-shirt, loosened his belt, took off his outer pants, and threw them aside—of course, all of this They were all carried out under Yi Zhongming's scorching gaze, "You are satisfied now."

"En, very good." As if he was relieved, Yi Zhongming stroked his chest, "Now sit back where you were just now, and don't move around."

It's finally about to start... Fang Quan took a deep breath.Although he was mentally prepared, Fang Quan still felt extremely nervous, his heart was pounding, as if it was about to jump out of his throat; even with the comfortable air conditioner, his face still felt feverish, in Yi Zhongming's view, his hands The color of the cheeks is probably very red now, right?

It doesn't matter, the phone has been secretly put under the pillow just now, and then be patient, everything will be over soon——

squeak-

I saw Yi Zhongming opened the chair beside the desk and sat down, took out a case file from the briefcase, and then crackled on the laptop.

"???What are you doing?"

"What else can I do? Write the judgment!" Yi Zhongming raised his face and looked coldly at Fang Quan, who was stripped down to his underpants, "Are you still expecting something?"

"No, it's not... I..."

"Didn't I say it last time, I'm not interested in people like you..."

"...Although I am very pleased that you have such an idea, I am really annoyed by such a statement." Fang Quan fell on the bed and pulled out his phone from under the pillow, "Who told you to say it?" In the bedroom, words like ''going to bed'' and ''undressing'' are easily misunderstood..."

"I entered the bedroom because the only bedroom in my house has air-conditioning. I asked you to come in to cool you down. I went to bed because there was only one chair in the bedroom. I'm going to sit here and type now, so you can only sit on the bed. Undress because You are too dirty to go to bed in your coat and trousers—hey, sit up for me quickly! You haven’t showered yet, you’re covered in sweat, don’t make my bed dirty!”

"Tsk, it really is gay, the cleanliness is really serious." Fang Quan sat up reluctantly, sticking out his tongue.

"It's just that you haven't seen the more serious ones." Yi Zhongming frowned and turned his face sideways, "From now on, you just sit there quietly and don't disturb me to write the judgment!"

"Okay, okay, Judge Yi, you are busy~~"

With a flat mouth, Fang Quan picked up the phone.

Fortunately, there is a software that can brush the questions in the mobile phone.

5 minutes.

10 minutes.

half an hour.

One hour and seven minutes.

"I can't, I can't, I can't, I just swipe my phone and it will run out of battery..." Getting off the bed and putting the phone in his trouser pocket, Fang Quan secretly glanced at Yi Zhongming. This man is indeed as he said, in the past more than a year. During the hour, he was absorbed in his work in front of the computer, completely ignoring Fang Quan, who was almost naked, "Wouldn't it be so boring and embarrassing when you were with your boyfriend..."

"If there really was one, he would probably have been left out in the cold like this..." Abruptly, Yi Zhongming continued on Fang Quan's words, "So don't talk about boyfriend now, even the time to have fun No……"

"...to have fun..." The corner of Fang Quan's mouth couldn't help twitching, "Obviously he has a cleanliness habit, but he is so casual in that respect..."

"What is 'not casual'? Do you have a regular boyfriend?" Yi Zhongming stretched his waist, "I did hand in one when I was a graduate student, but after I went to work in the court, hehe... After being promoted to assistant trial , hehehe..."

"When I was a graduate student... Qian Kun?!"

"Don't tell me about that dog-skin plaster . . . not someone you know."

"Is that so..." Sitting back on the bed, Fang Quan shook his feet, "So you finished writing the judgment? Can you hear me muttering so quietly?"

"Is it enough..." Yi Zhongming scratched his head, "It's better to say that I can't write at all."

"Which case is it that complicated?"

"This case is too early. It was the court session with me when Sister Ping first came to the court. You have never been in touch with it." Yi Zhongming folded his arms and leaned on the back of the chair. "There is such an old couple The young wife, when the two got married, the old man made a will, saying that if he died, all the property would be given to his wife. One day they decided to go back to the woman’s hometown together, and halfway after setting off, the old man suddenly He fell ill and passed away, so according to the provisions of the will, his young wife should inherit all his property. The other relatives of the old man felt reconciled, saying that they never knew the existence of that will, and it must have been forged by that woman. Come to us and demand confirmation that the will is invalid."

"That's the end? I thought it was so complicated!" Fang Quan lowered his shoulders, "Just see if the will was written voluntarily by the deceased, can't it be enough?"

"You usually like to think wildly, why don't you have enough brains now?"

"???What's the meaning?"

"Old husband and young wife, will, sudden illness and death, property."

"Do you suspect that the woman killed her husband for inheritance?" Fang Quan frowned, "If this is the case, this woman is not just a matter of losing her inheritance rights. Is this a crime? Is it intentional homicide? Should the trial be suspended and transferred to criminal procedure?"

"The old man's relatives think so too." Yi Zhongming took off his glasses and wiped them clean with the skirt of his shirt, "But since we are a court here, we have to talk about the evidence. It’s useless to rely on TV dramas. In addition to this, I am very concerned about it.” Taking out a stack of colored paper from the case file, Yi Zhongming handed it to Fang Quan, “I have never studied accounting, so I don’t know what it is. What does it mean, I just think it is very abnormal. Why don't you take a look too?"

This stack of colorful paper seems to be a bank's current bills, and each sheet is as long as a hada when unfolded.It records the account information of the deceased three months before his death.

"Is there something wrong with this person?" Fang Quan rubbed his eyes, "Every day, he transfers two or three thousand yuan to the same account, and the other party transfers back the same amount the next day. Is he full of food? ?”

"So this case is very weird, and I dare not draw conclusions lightly. But the six-month deadline is coming soon, and it will be impossible not to judge." Yi Zhongming sighed, "I said you should take the postgraduate entrance examination to take the accounting exam Professional? In the future, if you have related professional questions, you can find someone to ask.”

"No, finance and accounting majors have to take math exams, I can't stand that stuff. And I'm going to be a judge in the future, the court won't recruit people who majored in finance and accounting! Far away can't quench my thirst, Judge Yi, you still Find a way to figure out the meaning of this evidence yourself!"

"I know it's useless to ask you!" Snatching back the evidence from Fang Quan, Yi Zhongming glanced at the lower right corner of the computer, "It's past nine o'clock, and I won't force you to stay, just leave if you want .”

"...Aren't you afraid that I'm going to find Ms. Ma right now?"

"Whether you go or not is up to you, anyway, the bus back to the court ends at 09:30." Yi Zhongming smiled slightly, "If you are willing to pay for a taxi or persuade that girl named Ma to let you You stay overnight, so you can go boldly!"

"You just let me go at this point after you figured it out..."

Putting on his clothes quickly, Fang Quan walked out of Yi Zhongming's bedroom, obviously they were all in the same apartment, and the temperature of the hallway could almost roast a person.

"Hey," Yi Zhongming also followed, "From now on, you have to eat dinner for me too."

Fang Quan rolled his eyes: "Whether I eat or not is none of your business!"

"Working in our court, if you don't eat well, you will be tired." Yi Zhongming stretched out his hand and rubbed Fang Quan's hair fiercely, "You are a precious clerk, you are going to collapse, I The side also has to stop - the case that will be held in court tomorrow morning should be almost previewed, right?"

"The case of Lu You and Tang Wan?" Fang Quan, who was used to being touched by Yi Zhongming, calmly slapped his hand away, "Don't worry, I've been familiar with it for a long time. It's you, this time it's a long-lost simple case." Program, don't make any mistakes!"

"Hmph, unnecessary concern. Good night, be careful on the way back."

"What is there to be afraid of being a man? You are the one who cares so much! See you tomorrow!"

Close the iron gate, and there is another peaceful world in the corridor.Theoretically speaking, Yi Zhongming's neighborhood is more prosperous than that of the court, but Fangquan can't hear any traffic noise here - it is located in the downtown area but far away from the street, which may be why these buildings have not been demolished the main reason.

"So," thinking of this, the question came to Fangquan's mind again, "Will Yi Zhongming and I meet before?"
