7 Chapter 7
The verification passed very quickly, because there were not many people in line, or there were very few people willing to come here. Among these few visitors, most are like Gu Yan and Yan Suizhi, who come for work or official business, and there are a few interstellar merchants who do not take the usual path, and certain tastes come here to exile themselves. Traveler.
It can only be said that the forest is big and there are all kinds of birds.
Compared with the busy Port Newcer in Decama, this port in the wine city is small, old and crumbling, as if it has experienced several rounds of blasting.
There will be a shuttle landing here every two days, staying for less than 20 minutes, and then leaving in a hurry.
So the staff here are going to be moldy in their idleness, and even take up part-time jobs——
"Mr. Need a car?"
"The port is very far from the city center, do you need services, gentlemen and ladies? I can take you to many places, and I can also be a tour guide for free, uh...if you need it?"
"Migratory bird market, underground winery, cave trading house-aha, are there any customers who want to gamble!"
Familiar scenes and familiar shouts make people's eardrums hum. Starting from the verification port, it can be forced to leave the hall.
Professor Yan University really hates other people talking to him, so he really doesn't like it here, but always has to come here because of various things.
"It's finally quiet, my smile is almost uncontrollable." Yan Suizhi brushed off his coat as soon as he walked out of the hall door, and held his breath again, saying: "I'm wrong, I always remembered to wear a mask in the past. Just came here."
Gu Yan just raised his eyelids, but didn't say anything. He didn't even move his lips.
Yan Suizhi suspected that he was about to be suffocated, but he did not show it on his face due to his upbringing and politeness. Besides, with classmate Gu's character, even if it is shown, it will only become more paralyzed from facial paralysis.
"Go to that corner, there is no way to stop the car, and the service is forcibly monopolized by the staff inside." Yan Suizhi pointed to the dusty building opposite, "Let's go."
"I know." Gu Yan's voice was also dull, and he could see that he was breathing very hard, "I'm just wondering how you know it. Come here often?"
Professor Yan University paused when he was crossing the road, and then he opened his mouth, "I was deceived to travel here when I was young and ignorant. I was very impressed and unforgettable."
Gu Yan let out a "hee", and ridiculed the young and ignorant Yan Suizhi across time and space.
"do you know--"
Yan Sui had just stood on the corner where the wind was sheltered, three or two cars sneaked out, he raised his hand and stopped one, opened the door and turned his head towards Gu Yan and said: "Many universities have them. A teacher's ethics scoring mechanism, generally speaking, those who like to sneer and mock students are destined to be unemployed. For example, if you do not move like this, you will just say'huh'."
He smiled and got into the car after speaking, leaving a half seat and the open door for Gu.
Gu Yan certainly knows this system, and all students know it. Metz University specializes in such anonymous scoring. From the lecturer to the principal, it is impossible to escape. The purpose is to make the status of professors and students more equal in the school.
As we all know, there is a professor in the law school who scores ridiculously high year after year... it is not someone else, it is their dean who loves to hurt others with his mouth open.
The summarised text evaluations are mostly "witty and humorous", "elegant and calm", "I am afraid of him but also respect him very much".
It's really...
Fart more as you fart.
Gu Yan held the door of the car and glanced at Yan Suizhi from a high position, then closed the door unceremoniously, shielding the annoying intern inside, and got into the passenger seat.
Yan Suizhi: "..." Do not sit down.
"Gentlemen, where are you going?" The driver quickly glanced at both sides. Before Yan Suizhi and Gu Yan could answer, he stepped on the accelerator.
The car made a big turn and rashly hit the road.
The standard of living in Jiucheng is extremely backward, which is equivalent to the original Dekama that has not experienced the last few industrial and technological revolutions.
There is no practical industry here, and the entire planet cannot draw out a few reliable locals, and it cannot attract people from other places. It is inconvenient for external transportation, like a gray dust of interstellar dust that is always forgotten.
"Black market, winery or casino?" The driver asked with a smile, "People who come here can't go to these places. Of course, there are-well, you know!"
The driver seemed to be drinking too much, dragging a meaningful ending, and then he laughed "hehehehe" to himself, "The girls there are so hot!"
Gu Yan: "..."
Yan Suizhi: "..."
Attorney Gu turned his head to the intern in the back seat and glanced at him, his gaze was like a knife, as if saying, "You fucking can really stop a car."
Yan Suizhi was still a little helpless at first, but when he saw the grave face of someone in the front seat, he couldn't help but laugh.
Gu Yan: "..."
He touched the hem of his coat expressionlessly, buckled the seat belt with a clatter, and popped five words from his lips: "Excuse me, detention center."
Driver: "............"
The people who were still laughing just now seem to have swallowed a whale alive. The whole car twisted two bizarre arcs before it stabilized again.
"where to????"
"Lenghu Detention Center in the suburbs of Jiucheng."
"Does it have to be delivered to the door?"
"..."
Although Mr. Gu's frozen face was almost cracked, he had to adapt to the driver's style, because in the wine city, there may be similar drivers all over the street.
The port where Feisuo stays is not close to the Lenghu Detention Center. Gu Yan has never been to this area before, and only sees it on the smart map that it takes about an hour and a half to drive.
As a result, the driver performed exceptionally well and drove the car all the way like burning his buttocks, as if he was not pulling two guests, but a car of explosives.
So they arrived at the detention center an hour earlier than estimated.
"So, ten minutes of gold becomes one hour of brass." Yan Suizhi said.
The driver dropped off a passenger two blocks away from the detention center, then turned the front of the car, and ran away swiftly, spraying exhaust.
"The exhaust smells better than the evening breeze." Yan Suizhi added.
"Why don't you keep smelling here, let me apply first." Gu Yan finished coldly, and did not wait for his intern to leave.
Yan Suizhi sighed and strode to follow.
"Okay, let's talk about the situation of our client." Yan Suizhi and Gu Yan asked about the business together.
"Joshua Dale, 14 years old, was accused of robbery."
In the entire interstellar alliance, the development speed of each galaxy and each planet is not the same, and the life span of people in different regions is also different. Generally longevity, such as Decama, can reach an average life span of 250 years, and shorter life such as Wine City, the average life span is less than 100.
But no matter what, the age division of the teenagers during this period of time, the entire Star Alliance tends to be consistent-
An adult at the age of 18.
Even if you live as a thousand-year-old bachelor, you will be an adult at the age of 18. As for how long you can stay in this world as an adult, that is your own business.
In the prevailing criminal code of Star Alliance, there are two important points for age division, namely 14 years old and 16 years old——
As long as they are 14 years old, they can bear criminal responsibility for several types of felonies. If you accidentally grow to 16 in two years, you will not get away with anything.
Unfortunately, the types of felonies that have reached 14 happen to include robbery.
"14 years old? End of birthday?" Yan Suizhidao.
"Two days before the robbery, he just turned 14 years old."
"Then he is really the president." Yan Suizhi commented.
Whether this person is an acquaintance or a stranger, opening his mouth is a tune, so that it is difficult to figure out whether he is pure irony or cousin. It is also difficult to hear which sentence is with good feelings and which sentence is with. Disgusting.
Gu Yan glanced at him, and moved his lips as if to say something.
Yan Suizhi didn't pay attention, and asked, "What's the matter with bail? It stands to reason that a minor has not yet been convicted. Bail is too normal, and we don't even need to work hard. This is what the reviewer should do."
Before the court pronounces guilty, the suspect is presumed to be innocent, so as not to injure the innocent by mistake.
This is an industry code common to the entire alliance. It is precisely because of this rule that successful bail is the norm.
"That is the reasoning of other places, not here." Gu Yan replied.
"How come?" Yan Suizhi was a little surprised. "There was no specialization here before."
"Before?" Gu Yan turned to look at Xiang Yan Suizhi, "Where did you know before?"
It's not good, it's mouthful.
Yan Suizhi immediately said frankly: "Case. I have studied other things for a few years. The case must have been read. The bail in Jiucheng was not difficult before, at least it was normal at the end of last year.
Gu Yan retracted his gaze and said, "Then it seems that your hard work ended last year. Obviously, you have not seen the new cases in the past few months."
Professor Yan University rolled his eyes in his heart: No, I have paid tribute to others to watch a fart in the past few months.
"The wine city is going backwards year by year. In recent months, it has been particularly chaotic. Of course, bail is no exception when people order food." Gu Yan simply explained.
Yan Sui's heart said that I only slept for half a year, why did my eyes change after opening my eyes?
He hadn't read the specific information of the case, and couldn't blindly judge for a while, so he said nothing.
The Lenghu Detention Center is a completely independent and enclosed place. The crowded and dilapidated houses stopped two to three hundred meters away from the detention center, and they did not extend half a step forward.
People living in this neighborhood don't like to walk around this area, probably because of bad luck.
Therefore, the gate of the detention center is probably the only clean open space in the entire wine city, and the birds will have to hold back and fly for a while to avoid here.
However, Yan Suizhi and Gu Yan found a child in this place where the birds do not shit.
It was a skinny little girl, seven or eight years old, squatting in a corner with a face she hadn't known for a few days, staring at the gate of the detention center with her overly big eyes.
"Who does this little girl learn to be haunted? There is no sound at all." Yan Suizhi quickly walked over, and was startled when he saw a shadow on his legs suddenly.
The little girl's reaction was a little slow. About two seconds later, she looked away from the gate of the detention center and looked up at Yan Suizhi.
This raising of her head shows how ugly her complexion is, her cheeks are dull and dry, and her cheeks are a bit rotten.
But at this time, Yan Suizhi did not complain that the air was poisonous.
The little girl saw the stranger bend down and seemed to say something to herself.
But she was a little scared, and she subconsciously shrank back two steps in a row, pressing her back against the cold stone wall, unable to retreat, looking a little pitiful.
"I look like a trafficker?" Yan Suizhi turned to ask Gu Yan.
Attorney Gu stood in line with him for the first time, and nodded proudly.
Yan Suizhi: "..."
go away.
"Want to raise?" Gu Yan asked him, his tone was not painful or itchy, and he could not tell whether it was casual or sarcastic.
After all, the teachers and students come from the same line in this regard.
Yan Suizhi gave a short laugh, and stood up straight, "You are really imaginative, and I am not a good person."
He turned his head and rushed to a broken street not far away and lifted his chin, "In this place, ten people in ten alleys in a street are sleeping, and the whole wine city has to be bought to build an orphanage to be able to raise it."
After finishing speaking, he shook the ring on his hand at Gu Yan, "5022 West, next life."
Gu Yan didn't have any expressions: "It's hard to say, maybe the next life will be poorer."
Yan Suizhi: "...you can really comfort people."
"Reward."
"..."
"The little girl doesn't like me, she is gone." Yan Suizhi said.
The two looked at the time, and there were still twenty minutes left, then raised their feet and walked towards the gate of the detention center.
After only two steps, Yan Suizhi remembered how to turn around. He stretched out a hand from the pocket of his overcoat, bent over and spread it out in front of the little girl, with a chocolate lying in his palm: "There is one left, or?"
The little girl leaned against the wall and stared at him for several seconds, then suddenly reached out and grabbed the chocolate, and then retracted.
"I'm quite agile when I'm hungry." Yan Suizhi raised his eyebrows, turned and left.
As he walked a little further, he vaguely heard a very quiet sentence behind him, "...I want to say thank you."
Yan Suizhi turned his head and took a look. The little girl had returned to her previous appearance. She squatted and stared at the gate of the detention center, as if she hadn't seen him at all, except that the cheeks on one side were bulging and stuffed. A sugar.
"Flying shuttle for 15 hours, you didn't eat two bites at dinner, and you didn't touch the sugar too much," Gu Yan said.
One of Yan Sui's face was calm: "Eat less and more meals, and sweets count as meals."
In fact, he is a little low blood sugar right now, and I don't know if it is a sequelae of too long sleep or a sequelae of a temporary genetic adjustment. In short, he has to put some sugar on his body to avoid getting dizzy.
Of course, this reason obviously cannot be mentioned to Gu Yan, just nonsense.
The copper and iron gate of the detention center was locked tightly, and several guards stood beside the gate.
Gu Yan walked to the electronic lock, raised his hand and touched the electronic lock with the smart phone on his little finger. All pre-applied meetings will be synchronized to the electronic lock, and the identity information bound to the smartphone can be successfully verified.
Drop——
The door rang and slowly opened creakingly.
This gate is probably the most advanced thing in the nearby area. It was sponsored by a consortium that was full and supported decades ago. The consortium backed the government of the wine city and almost destroyed this unlucky planet. All important places have been replaced by a new layer, and a posture that is determined to help governance.
Dreams are good, but reality is a bit miserable.
Anyway, the consortium has now become a declining nobleman, and the things that it sponsored have changed from new to old.
The detention center is dim and cramped, the corridors are always very narrow and the windows are smaller, showing a strong depression, but it is not quiet.
This place in Jiucheng is particularly chaotic, full of reprimands, verbal abuse, and all kinds of foul language. And these noisy voices are all enclosed in narrow doors one by one, without objects, and attack indiscriminately.
Yan Suizhi walked along the corridor for a while, and the eight generations of his ancestors were implicated, but he was very used to this and walked very calmly.
Outside the gate of an iron fence, a high-ranking guard was there holding the electric baton: "Who, who is coming to see?"
Yan Suizhi smiled: "Lawyer, there is an application, see Joshua Dale"
Gu Yan, who just opened his mouth: "..."
The discipline raised his eyebrows: "Dalle? You guys are really good-tempered."
He said that he laughed unclearly, and it was hard to say whether it was a mockery or something else.
Yan Suizhi still responded with ease: "Yes, I think so too."
Gu Yan: "..."
Discipline snorted from his nose, turned around to beckon her, and opened the iron fence door: "Go, come with me."
In other places, minors and adults are mostly separated. The wine city is mixed up here.
The discipline soon stopped in front of a thick steel narrow door, and rushed to the door to make a stubborn statement: "Hey-the Dalle you want to see."
"Thank you very much." Yan Suizhidao.
Gu Yan: "..."
The guard lifted the movable square on the door, revealing a window too small to show his eyes, and yelled in his thick voice: "Wild boy! Your lawyer is here to see you!"
A pair of eyes soon appeared in the window, emerald green. From the gaze, they were not friendly at all, and even contained a cold hostility.
Immediately afterwards, the person inside suddenly raised his hand and closed the window with a "pop" in front of several people.
Yan Suizhi: "..."
He almost laughed angrily, turned his head and asked Gu Yan: "Are you sure you have actually met with him?"
Is this the attitude of the appointment? What a joke.
However, before he finished laughing, he realized that the lawyer Gu behind him was looking at him with a paralyzed face, leaning against the wall.
Under Yan Sui's consciousness, he wanted to ask, "Who did you sweep the grave for your dead face?" Before he could say anything, he suddenly realized how much work he had robbed Barrister Gu on his way.
It is really a habit to kill people.
He coughed awkwardly against his nose, and stepped aside: "Huh? Why did you go back?"
Gu Yan: "........."
Such shameless people are rare in their lives.
Gu Yan looked at him coldly for a while, and moved his lips: "No longer? Lawyer Ruan?"
Yan Suizhi laughed and shook his hand, "You are a teacher, come here."
In order to resolve the embarrassment, this person's face said that if you don't, you can just don't. No one knows him anyway.
After he finished speaking, he pointed to the small closed window and asked: "When I got off the shuttle, I clearly heard you talk to him, why did this kid turn his face and deny him?"
After making a mistake, he changed the subject without blushing. Gu Yan opened his eyes to the intern.
However, he still replied lukewarmly: "It was for the guard to transfer the communication to him, and I cut it off after I said it. If a unilateral notification counts as a conversation, then I did have a conversation."
The manager is straightforward, and he points to the window with a habitual appearance: "Transfer, open the window and let him listen."
Yan Suizhi: "..."
Convinced.
Yan Suizhi gave up his position, and Gu Yan should have taken the initiative. He pointed to the steel door and said, "Excuse me, open the door."
"OK? You still want to see you with this attitude?" The guard said so, but still opened the door. The moment he opened the door, he held the electric baton around his waist, in a posture that he could electric people when he took it out.
However, Yan Suizhi held his hand and signaled that he did not have to be so ready to go.
In fact, he and Gu Yan walked in one after the other, and the kid named Joshua Dale was fine.
He just sat there, staring into the eyes of the two coldly, and turned his head away with a snort.
Only then did Yan Suizhi see what this hapless thing looked like.
He has thick black hair, which is quite long, and he has a braid behind his head, but he can see that it has not been washed for several days, and it is messy. The eyes are emerald green. Because of the thin cheeks, they look very big and the eye sockets are extremely deep.
Lips are thinner than Gu Yan, so when you press your lips, you have a strong sense of meanness.
In fact, Gu Yan also has this kind of meanness, but he is always decent in his gestures, so that feeling has turned into a cold and handsome.
But this bear stuff in front of me...
After all, he is only 14 years old, even if he is mean, he has a feeling of pretending.
"The lawyer who took over the case, I spoke to you before," Gu Yan said.
Yan Suizhi: "..." Are you really embarrassed to say it?
Joshua Dalle also seemed to be upset by the "dialogue" in his mouth, and his expression revealed a deep disgust. But he didn't say anything again. It seemed that all his emotions had been expressed in the moment of closing the window just now, and there was no desire to speak again.
"I'm here just to meet you and let you recognize my face." Gu Yan didn't care about the silence of the other party, and said coldly, "No matter what your attitude is now, I hope that when you meet again, you can Tell me everything truthfully and completely."
I don't know what point Joshua Dale poke at this. He finally said, "Tell you? What's the use of telling you? The last one, the last lawyer said so fucking, the result?"
He stepped on the copper wall and iron wall, "I am still locked in this disgusting place!"
"You can try it." Gu Yan was not affected by his emotions at all, and his tone was still cold.
"Try your mother! I'm not guilty! I didn't do it! Why let me sit here and wait for people to tell me to try! If you have the ability, get me out and try again! Get out of the way— —" Joshua Dall yelled, almost out of control.
Yan Suizhi smiled next to him: "I said two sentences are about to squirt out the blood, how can you get people on bail like this? The judge who heard the trial looked at your face and promised to turn his head to reject the application."
Joshua Dale stared at him, panting, "This kind of nonsense again! I can do bail and I will stay here now?!"
"Bail is not a problem." Gu Yan looked into his eyes and said, "But you must promise me that the next time you meet, you will tell me everything without reservation."
When he stares at people, he really has a temperament that makes people unconsciously honest. If such a person is really a teacher, students will probably see him like a mouse and a cat.
Joshua Dalle held on for a few seconds, then gave him a sad look and sat down again.
It was as if he had exhausted all his energy and sat there like a statue, motionless.
Obviously, although he no longer abused and went crazy, he still did not believe Gu Yan's words. After a long while, he finally opened his mouth again in a daze, and said in a low voice, "If you can get me out, I'll call your grandpa, get out, liar."
With such a way of speaking, I will still feel a little bit emotional when I meet for the first time. If you see each other every day, you will really be indifferent.
The liar Yan Suizhi and the liar Gu Yan were calmer than the other, and went out one after another.
Discipline also stroked his dear electric baton with an itchy face, and said, "You lawyers are really..." After finishing speaking, he shook his head and closed the door unceremoniously.
In the narrow room, the hoarse-exhausted person sat blankly for a while, then bent his knees and buried his head in, curled his back and stopped moving.
Compared with the detention center, the sky is bright outside, and it is a bit dazzling to see it suddenly.
Yan Suizhi used his finger to make his eyes, and took out the holographic screen and looked at it for a while, "It's less than 2 o'clock, let's go, go to the police court--what are you doing looking at me like this?"
Gu Yan stared at him for a moment, then moved his gaze away and said: "It's nothing, I just think that as an intern, the first time you were exposed to this kind of thing, the reaction was somewhat unexpected."
Yan Suizhi: "..." Well... this is really a good question.
