Chapter 6 Chapter Six

I deliberately didn't go back to the office.I also don't show up at my usual places. I went into a small French restaurant and ordered iced coffee and ice cream.The guests here are old customers, and they don't want the guests to leave early after the meal. I bought the first edition of the evening paper and tried to absorb as much information as possible about the murder of Fedel. Attorney Federer is one of the luminaries in the legal profession.Most of his clients are politicians.He rarely appeared in court; in fact, he was best known for keeping clients out of court as little as possible.Therefore, his clients are all able to pay a lot of money, but they don't like to show their faces.

Lawyer Fei has a huge house, and he lives alone.Servants commute to work.He was a widower, indeed a hermit.Usual activities are also limited to a few expensive clubs.He has money, status, style, easy to be accepted, well-groomed, but he always seems to be searching for the truth. He is a bookworm.In his own home he had a well-stocked library, full of books.The old-fashioned leather sofa chair and suitable reading lamp in his bedroom make him very comfortable when reading in the bedroom at night. Lawyer Fei's friend described that he has a good TV and stereo, and he only reads news, editorials and weather forecasts.Other than that, he never watches entertainment programs and spends his free time reading.

There is a room on the second floor of his house that is arranged as a study, and most of the business is done in the study.Rumor had it that many of his clients wanted to visit him at night, sitting on a couch in his downstairs library, and tell him their case, but they didn't want to come to his lawyer's downtown office in broad daylight. Before his death, Lawyer Fei confirmed that he had had a loud argument with someone in the house.It is still uncertain whether it is a man or a woman who caused the lawyer's displeasure.It can also be confirmed that Lawyer Fei was shot to death by a .38-caliber revolver, but the murderer apparently took the gun away, so there was no murder weapon left at the scene.

Preliminary investigation found that lawyer Fei seemed to be preparing to go out when the murder occurred, because there was a suitcase on a small table at the stairway on the second floor, and the suitcase contained the reserve price for a construction plan for a sloped land in the suburbs.In this construction plan, Attorney Fei is the legal advisor. These bids have not yet been sealed, but the envelope has been written as confidential, and it should not have been shown to others before the bid opening time. Because of the location of the suitcase in which these bids were stored, the police believed that lawyer Fei was planning to bring the base bids to the house of an official from the Slope Land Construction Committee that night for a private discussion.The Slope Building Committee officials all said that it would not be surprising if a decent man like Lawyer Fei asked to meet them personally for anything.In fact, however, everyone emphasized that they and Fei were not on a date that night.

However, the police believe that there are only two possibilities for the suitcase to be placed in such a position.One was that Lawyer Fei was about to go downstairs, took his suitcase and went out to exchange opinions with one or several officials of the Slope Construction Committee.The other is that Lawyer Fei is going to take his suitcase into the library when he goes downstairs, where he can exchange ideas with one or more visiting officials.Therefore, the police hope that every official in the Slope Construction Committee can take the initiative to provide information about their actions and time this night, especially where they went when they were not at home.

Committee member Ma Xuewei was very dissatisfied with the police's words.He said: "It was too much.Seems like we're being asked to provide an alibi.His final decision was that I would never, at this point, do what they said. According to police sources, Lawyer Fei always kept a large amount of cash in his home.In conjunction with taxation and estate management officials, the safe in the house was opened and 150,000 yuan in cash was found inside.The reason why Lawyer Fei deposits a large amount of cash is definitely not to evade paying taxes, because he declares truthfully, pays taxes, deposits all income in the bank, and then withdraws cash in large quantities.

As most people know, Attorney Fei often keeps in touch with one or several figures in the lobby outside the House of Representatives.Of course, no one has provided evidence to confirm who they are, but these lobbying groups only recognize a large amount of cash, and they will give the result if there is money. Sometimes banknotes are also used as campaign donations. Lawyer Fei often tells his friends without hesitation that he often provides such donations to several politicians.In fact, many big politicians in this state often refer to lawyer Fei's suggestion as the basis for their speeches.

Police have recovered the deadly bullet, which was fired from a .38-caliber Colt revolver. The murder weapon should be a revolver, because if the murder weapon is an automatic pistol, there should be bullet casings left at the scene.No bullet casings were found at the scene.According to the testimonies of neighbors who heard Lawyer Fei raise his voice angrily at home and quarrel with others, he heard only one gunshot. A neighbor heard a woman's screaming along with it.Police did not rule out the possibility that the shooter was a woman. The newspaper portrayed Lawyer Fei as a middle-aged, respected lawyer who was influential not only in the city but also in the state's political arena.At the time of his death, because his peaceful home life was violated, he lost his temper and quarreled with others, and was murdered.

I flipped through the newspaper several times, for fear of missing any news. How did the guy who hired Daphne know that the suitcase would be on that little table?Maybe Lawyer Fei had told him.It may also be because Lawyer Fei needs to meet people in the library or study in the study on the second floor, so he takes these materials home from the office and puts them on the small table, so that he can have them at hand when he needs them.He Long knew he had this habit. The situation has become like this, what should Dafen do? Had she been chosen specifically for the job of stealing documents?Or maybe she took the wrong case?Or was the box she was carrying exactly what they were taking, right?

Also, there is another possibility. The base price of the bidding mentioned in the newspaper was about 800,000 yuan. Then, the 40,000 yuan is a deposit to others first, so that this side can win the bid. Daffin's false testimony not only handed herself over to the person who made the conspiracy, but also once the matter failed, what she said on the witness stand would be accepted by others because she was willing to give perjury and was hired by others. trust. I finished my meal and called the second number Mr. Deng gave us.The woman who answered the phone told me that Mr. Deng was not in now, and that he had something to discuss with a client over lunch; if I could leave my name and phone number, or anything I wanted to pass on to him, she would do it for me.She said he wouldn't be back until about four o'clock.

I said: Well, I have something, please tell him.Tell him I was looking for him because of an advertisement in the relevant newspaper.Tell him I'll call again. May I ask your last name?she asked. Surnamed Deng.I said. No, I mean your last name. Tell him my last name is true, true and false. Yes, I will tell him. You can also tell him that I have many last names.Some are true, some are not.I hang up the phone.
