A scent of fragrance wafted in the room, and Pullman woke up from his deep sleep. The originally messy room in front of him took on a new look.
The aroma wafting from the kitchen made Pullman stumble over. In the kitchen, a young man wearing an apron was cooking.
"Sorry, I asked you to help me clean up the house."
Heathcote smiled and quickly put the two plates of omelette rice on the table, and Pullman ate them eagerly.
"You are Lyons' son!"

Pullman put down the spoon, and Heathcote was still chewing slowly. His overall movements were very gentle and careful, as if he was tasting the food, giving people a sense of ritual.
"It tastes great, thank you, Heathcote."
The dull Pullman lit a cigarette. Heathcote smiled and quickly finished his meal, then began to clear away the dishes. After finishing everything, he washed his hands and sat down.
Looking at this young man's every move, Pullman felt a little surprised. He had seen this young man before when he went to and from the Bar Association. He was the son of Lyons, the president of the Bar Association. The more he looked at it, the more impression he had, but he couldn't be sure.
, the reason why this boy came here, in my memory, this child is only 18 years old, but I don’t know why, but I always feel that it is slightly different from the impression I have seen before.
It's arrogance!
Pullman reacted. In the past, he often saw Lyons taking the child with him. Wherever Lyon passed by, the lawyers would stand aside and bow. And the child, like his father, was a little arrogant.
"Life at God's College should be great!"
Heathcote laughed.
"I was beaten 28 times by my fat brother when I was eating. I was beaten 103 times because I wasted food and was rude to others. The four years were long and short, but the important thing is that I never
I completely broke away from the family environment in the past, because there are many people who are better than me in the school."
"That's really a disaster!"
Pullman smiled and saw that the smile on this young man's face and the sincerity in his eyes were completely different from before.
Pullman also met some students from God's College by chance. Although he didn't know what they were like in school, they were all a group of ambitious people.
Pullman directly took out a document with wrinkles, and then pointed to the case above that almost caused Pullman to collapse.
"It is impossible for the client, Ms. Xu Fen, to commit suicide!"
Pullman looked at Heathcote suspiciously.
"Please think carefully about Attorney Pullman, when was the last time you saw Miss Xu Fen."
Pullman looked at the documents on the table, and his hands began to tremble uncontrollably. In this case more than three years ago, Xu Fen, the victim, once worked as a body practitioner in a club called Lido on Qinglong Street.
At around 3 a.m. on July 21, 2196, when I was working on my trading business, I was followed by someone on my way home, and then six people took turns to assault me.
The six people involved were all descendants of the Hillman family, but all six people said that they had paid and had Xu Fen's permission. As for the violent treatment, they were just spending money to buy fun. This is also the case on Qinglong Street.
Types of services provided by some stores.
The three-year-long lawsuit ended in two defeats because there was no conclusive evidence. Finally, under the attack of media public opinion, Xu Fen committed suicide by jumping off a building. The only words spoken about Xu Fen in the society were abuse and insults. She felt that she was the only one to do such a thing.
How can the girl get better? Some people even think she deserves it.
Pullman was still trying to remember, and his hands were still shaking. Heathcote placed a bottle of wine in front of Pullman. He opened it and drank.
"Why do you think so?"
"Because I think that from the time when public opinion was manipulated 2 years ago to the 645 days since Ms. Xu Fen committed suicide, in the past two years of suffering, have you ever seen this young lady have any thoughts of committing suicide?"
Pullman shook his head, but Xu Fen would cry to herself from time to time. When she was violated, they were not just verbal insults, the whole process was like hell, so she wanted to rely on the law to make the other party pay the price.
.
"That's right. I once asked several students in our school about the suicide scene. After reading the information, they all felt that the scene was too clean. Moreover, before a person commits suicide, nothing is left behind, unless she has nothing. This
There is nothing worthy of nostalgia in the world. After all, people are emotional animals. I once asked my classmate to help investigate this matter. She also has a younger sister and parents. I also investigated the surrounding neighbors. The family has grown up since childhood.
Although life was hard, I was very happy.”
"Why do you think so!"
Heathcote said with a smile.
"I once heard my father talking about this matter on the phone one night, and he said to handle the matter well, so I speculate that they are afraid of some conclusive evidence being exposed, and you may have already
I am close to the evidence that can determine the facts, and I clearly remember that I heard it a month before Miss Xu Fen committed suicide."
Pullman stood up, holding the wine bottle tightly in his hand. He became more and more excited, and all the clues in his mind were constantly changing.
"There is no conclusive evidence, but because of the impact of this incident, the reputation of the Hillman family has been affected. The stock price has been on a downward trend for the past two years, and has recently begun to rise again. Not everyone believes the media.
nonsense."
"That's right, Lawyer Pullman, some of the guilty inferences you listed are not false. Why did Miss Xu Fen commit suicide, or had to commit suicide? And why did the media's public opinion change from a critical attitude two years ago?
, began to gradually turn into one-sided accusations against you, an unscrupulous pair, a vicious woman who will do anything for money, and an unscrupulous lawyer who will also do anything for money."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Pullman nodded and looked at the document seriously.
"Why did you help me?"
"I'm not helping you, but I just want to maintain a little dignity of the law. If the law cannot be minimally fair, but is manipulated, guided by the media, or even guided by public opinion, then the law will be
That’s it, the three major legal schools, no matter which one they belong to, their ultimate goal is justice.”
After Pullman put out his cigarette butt, he lit another cigarette.
"Where did you find these things? For example, Xu Fen's family still has relatives. I once asked her, and she always just said that she was alone, without a father or a mother, and grew up in an orphanage."
"Perhaps because of the kind of industry she is in and what happened after that, she also has something she wants to protect. If you are willing, I will take you there now, Lawyer Pullman."
Pullman stood up in surprise.
"There is no doubt that several of my classmates are very powerful investigative experts. Although some things violate the laws here and are even inhumane! But since the other party uses extreme methods, there is nothing we can do."
.......
"I don't know what you are talking about. I want to find a lawyer and report a crime. You have no right..."
C smiled and sat quietly in front of a computer. She was a little unfamiliar with using this ancient computer. After searching for a long time, she finally found the file.
A middle-aged man was tied to a chair, with his wife and children next to him, huddled in a corner and shivering.
"Come on, kid, uncle will take you to the room next door. It's okay. We're just here to ask something. It's okay."
K said and took the child away from the mother's arms. The woman wanted to scream but could only cry silently.
"Please advise your husband, madam, we are just conducting a routine investigation."
K said, holding the trembling little boy, and returned to the room.
"What's your name, kid?"
"Pan Hua!"
K entered the room and took out a pair of Pan Hua's toys.
"How about we come and play together? I'm very good at playing."
C leaned on the chair and looked at the reports written on the computer with very eye-catching titles and inflammatory words. The source of the reports was CBV Media Company, which is the largest media company in the past ten years.
"We are just seeking truth from facts and reporting. If you insist that we distort the facts, please provide evidence. If there is no evidence, I will directly protest to Congress tomorrow. You are illegally invading and attacking me...
.”
The man knew very well. He had vaguely heard at some banquets that some guys were operating in secret. They would kill criminals mercilessly and conduct top-secret investigations and arrests. They were affiliated with Congress, and the man also knew that he
Nothing would happen. He didn't believe these people would dare to do anything to him.
R stood up with a smile and waved his hands helplessly.
"What should I do? It would be very embarrassing if I couldn't do what my classmates asked me to do."
R is a little worried. He doesn't dare to leave here. If C gets violent and really does something, the three of them will definitely be beaten up by the principal when they go back tomorrow. They have not received any authorization for this matter and it is private.
To investigate, several classmates also asked them to check on this matter while they were doing errands outside.
C casually opened the man's drawer, took out a pack of cigarettes, lit it and took a puff.
“It tastes really good.”
The man stared at C angrily.
