Chapter 1 Jia Wenjun

Jia Wenjun returned to her room with the help of the auxiliary police. She carefully recalled her conversation with Wu Peng, wondering if there were any loopholes.

Of course, she didn't say that she had "dreamed" about those things. She only said that because of the previous suicide and explosion cases in the community, she had been to Anna's house. But it had been so long ago, and she had just remembered some of the details.

These were also facts, but the facts were indeed mixed with things from her dreams that might or might not be true.

The suggestion she gave Wu Peng was actually a test. If Lawyer Liu didn't act on it, she might have to find another lawyer.

But if Lawyer Liu was really willing to do it, it meant that they were still concerned about her case, and it also meant that she still had hope. If they could really find something at Anna's, that would be a pleasant surprise. If they couldn't, she had another plan. After all, she knew that her case could be saved and understood how capable her lawyer was and whether he was willing to put in the effort.

Roads are made by people. As long as everyone is of one mind, there will always be a way.

Wu Peng rode his Kawasaki 400 back to the law firm in a blaze of glory. Qingzi saw him heading for Lawyer Liu's office and quickly stopped him, "There's an important client. Wait a moment."

Although Wu Peng was anxious, he knew what was important and could only walk to his workstation first.

Qingzi made him a cup of coffee and brought it over, "Did you go to the hospital again this morning?"

"Thanks." Wu Peng took it and took a big gulp, "The detention center."

"So early?" Qingzi was a little surprised. "Was it that female client who came to commission a case after injuring her leg last time?"

Wu Peng nodded and began to sort out the information in his bag.

Wu Peng had been at the law firm for so long, but he basically went to work on the dot and left on the dot. Compared with those trainee lawyers who couldn't wait to live in the law firm, he was like he was just there to play. If Lawyer Liu hadn't been protecting him, he would have been scolded by other lawyers long ago.

But Lawyer Liu didn't say anything, so naturally others weren't qualified to say anything. Therefore, in the entire law firm, when many people mentioned Wu Peng, they didn't call him by name, but said "that young master who joined with investment."

Qingzi naturally knew that Wu Peng didn't really want to stay at the law firm. Now seeing him suddenly change, not only working overtime at the law firm every day, but also running to meet with clients so early, she was naturally surprised.

Qingzi took a closer look and saw that the information in his hand was all about Jia Wenjun. She casually picked up a stack, "It seems you value this case quite a bit."

Wu Peng took it back without a trace and smiled, "It's normal to value it, right? After all, my grandfather also came down from that yacht, so of course I have to pay more attention."

This was first-hand news that he had just taken the trouble to find out. He was going to take it in to Lawyer Liu later to get his opinion. He didn't want irrelevant people to know too much.

Speaking of his grandfather, Qingzi nodded, "How is your grandfather now? Is he out of the hospital?"

"He wanted to go home earlier, but the doctor said he was old and suggested staying in the hospital for a few more days to see how things go, so I arranged for him to stay in the hospital for a few more days."

"The elderly should pay more attention, after all, they just experienced such a dangerous thing. What about the others on the boat? Have they all gone home?"

Wu Peng didn't know why Qingzi, who was usually so busy, was so free today and kept asking him about his case. He glanced at Lawyer Liu's tightly closed office door, "Except for those who were directly detained, those who had no problems after questioning should have been discharged and gone home."

Qingzi said "Oh" and wanted to say something else, but Lawyer Liu's office door opened, and Lawyer Liu personally escorted the client to the elevator door.

Wu Peng quickly stood up with the information, ignored Qingzi, and walked towards the office.

When Lawyer Liu returned, Wu Peng had already placed all the information on the table.

"What's the situation?" Lawyer Liu sat down on the sofa.

Wu Peng quickly went over to pour tea for him, showing good sense, "Master, I went to the detention center to see Jia Wenjun today. She told me some things about Anna, the owner of the yacht. I think we can use this as a starting point to find a breakthrough and maybe find evidence to help Jia Wenjun escape punishment."

He used words that Lawyer Liu could accept to explain what Jia Wenjun had told him, changing the way he said it.

Lawyer Liu took a sip of tea. In fact, he hadn't had much hope for Jia Wenjun's case from the beginning. Looking at the information Wu Peng had brought, he asked faintly, "Have you gone to see Officer Zeng?"

"I've been there. Officer Zeng told me about the situation, but now the results of questioning everyone on the boat are very unfavorable to Jia Wenjun. So I was wondering if we could go through Anna's line..."

Lawyer Liu interrupted him, "Do you think the police haven't searched Anna's residence?"

"They must have gone, but they may not be able to find what Anna hid."

"Then, according to what Jia Wenjun said, we will definitely be able to find it?"

"Not necessarily, but how will we know if we don't try?"

Lawyer Liu listened to his words and didn't want to pay attention to him. He picked up his teacup and was about to pour it himself when Wu Peng stuck to him again and quickly poured tea for him, "Master, I know you are very capable, you must have a way, please help me."

Lawyer Liu was annoyed by him and handed him the information for a new project, "Go out and sort this out, and give it to me before you get off work."

"Master, I think this method is feasible. Although Jia Wenjun's case has a small chance of winning, we shouldn't give up as long as there is a glimmer of hope. I have sorted out the information for her case and put it on your desk. Remember to read it."

Before Wu Peng could finish speaking, Lawyer Liu pushed him out.

The door slammed shut. Wu Peng stood outside the door for several seconds, holding a stack of new information in his hand. He glanced at the other colleagues in the large office area who were all looking at him, and he could only return to his seat with his head down.

At noon, Qingzi came over to ask him what takeout he wanted to order so she could place the order together.

Wu Peng picked up his backpack and put it on, "I'm going to the hospital, no need to order for me."

Qingzi said "Oh", "Is there something wrong with Grandpa?"

Wu Peng responded vaguely. It wasn't wrong to say that he was going to see his grandfather anyway, and he would definitely go up to take a look.

He left as soon as he said he would. Without waiting for Qingzi to say anything else, he had already picked up the motorcycle helmet under the table and strode towards the elevator.

Father Jia had just finished his IV drip when Wu Peng came in with the fruit.

Jia Wenjun hired a nursing worker and ordered three meals a day for her parents in the hospital. He didn't have to worry about their food and accommodation, so he often bought some fruit to supplement their vitamins.

"Xiao Wu, did you see Junjun today?" Father Jia saw Wu Peng and asked eagerly before the nurse could remove the needle.

Wu Peng put down his things, sat down next to him, and told him about Jia Wenjun's situation that day, and then said, "She will take good care of herself inside. As long as you and Auntie are well, she can rest assured."

Father Jia certainly knew that his daughter was worried about them, he looked worried, "We will take good care of ourselves, so she doesn't have to worry. I don't know if she has enough money in there, when will we be able to see her?"

"I have already transferred the money you gave me to her card. She can't use that much in there for the time being, so it should be enough. As for seeing her, she is now being held in the detention center, and the case is still under investigation. Except for lawyers, family members cannot see her. We will try our best to apply for bail pending trial for her. If it is approved, she can come out, so you can meet. If bail pending trial is not possible, then we have to wait until the court's judgment takes effect before she can meet with her family during her imprisonment."

Hearing the word "imprisonment", Father Jia's eyes darkened, and he almost fell down.

His mouth trembled, "Xiao Wu, my daughter can't have killed anyone. When she was a child, she went on a spring outing with her classmates. A few little girls were playing by the river, and one of them accidentally fell into the water. Thanks to Junjun for going into the water to save her, otherwise she would have drowned long ago. She was only twelve or thirteen years old at the time. Even now, the classmate's parents still call us from time to time. You can inquire about it if you don't believe me. And that dog, it is said that it was raised by the family that jumped off the building in the community. No one took care of the dog after the accident. In the end, my daughter felt sorry for the dog and took it back to raise it herself. She has been a kind person since she was a child. How could she harm people? You have seen what kind of person that Lin Yang is. How could my daughter kill someone for this kind of person?"

Wu Peng certainly knew what kind of people Lin Yang and his family were. Since he came into contact with Jia Wenjun, he didn't believe that Jia Wenjun would kill someone for such a person. This was also where he suspected that everyone said Jia Wenjun's crime was a crime of passion.

He comforted him for a while before Uncle Jia calmed down. On the way to Mother Jia's ward, Wu Peng thought that Uncle Jia said that Jia Wenjun dared to go into the river to save people when she was a teenager. Would a girl with this kind of courage be fascinated by someone like Lin Yang?

Could there be other inside stories? The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he had to pester his master again and get him to agree to that plan.
