Late at night, in an apartment. "Ding-dong, ding-dong!" Such a doorbell rang.

"It's coming!" About a minute later, a middle-aged man dressed in a hastily changed civilian dress opened the door. "Excuse me—"

His gaze was fixed on the two men in sunglasses standing in the doorway.

"Excuse me, are you Shoda lawyer?" One of the men asked straight to the point.

"You ......," Shoda frowned. I'm Shota, but why did you come to me so late? ”

"If it is, come with us," one of the men in sunglasses pulled out a business card from his pocket. "This is our boss's message."

"Your boss?" Taking the business card, Shoda glanced at the white gloves on the man in sunglasses, and was about to read the words on them, but suddenly heard the sound of something charging. "Huh?"

"Zila!" With such an electric burst, Shoda's body trembled for a moment, and then he collapsed to the ground. And the man in sunglasses in front of him seemed to have a premonition about this, and he held Shota's body quite indifferently.

"Okay, you go and take this barrister back and deal with it slowly," the man in sunglasses snorted coldly, dragged Shoda's body and handed it to his companion, rummaging through Shoda's pocket. "I'll go in and see what he's up to."

With that, he walked into Shoda's apartment, leaving only another companion to pick up the unconscious Masata's back and walk out.

…………

At noon the next day (August 12), Concubine Law Firm.

"Teacher," Fei Yingli's secretary Kuriyama Midori walked in from outside the door with a pile of materials, and after glancing at the direction outside the door, he said to Fei Yingli, who was still working. "Did you know that two lawyers, Shoda and Honkura, did not go to his office today?"

"Honkura and ...... Shoda? Fei Yingli frowned and looked at the secretary in front of her with a somewhat incredulous look. What is the deadline for news? ”

"He hasn't come, and he hasn't been able to do it in a row." Midori Kuriyama's tone was quite solemn. "His secretary was suspicious ......"

"Is it the same as a couple of other lawyers who have disappeared?" Fei Yingli took a deep breath and said in a deep voice. "Same as the lawyers who disappeared the day before yesterday."

"The other seniors also have this opinion," Midori Kuriyama nodded, making a worried expression. "Teacher, ...... now"

"I'm the only one of the so-called Seven Samurai who defended Hakamata Yan and I'm still there, right?" Fei Yingli didn't seem to care much about this. "It's okay, I know it in my heart."

"Is it really okay?" Midori Kuriyama said in surprise. "It is rumored that those senior lawyers have already ......"

"You always have to sacrifice for something, not for your family, but for your beliefs." Fei Yingli was silent for a moment before saying. "Although that stinky man is very bad, at least he has a good relationship with the police, and I have been separated for so long, I think those police officers should not be able to bring them to ......"

When she said this, Fei Yingli suddenly seemed to think of something, suddenly stood up from her seat, and then stood next to the curtain behind her, which was still tightly closed in broad daylight. After hesitating for a moment, he gently pulled open a small slit.

"Teacher......" Midori Kuriyama was a little surprised, but he probably guessed what Fei Yingli was looking for.

"Well, we do have it on our side." After glancing around, Fei Yingli locked her eyes on a car. "The classic car under the street lamp opposite, if I am not mistaken, the license plate should be on the list of known stalking cars on the public security side."

"What!" The expression on Midori Kuriyama's face turned to anger. "How can they do that?"

"After all, it's the police," lowering the curtains, Fei Yingli just shrugged her shoulders. "Lawless and lawless public security."

Unlike ordinary police officers, the police do not work for trivial matters as murder – yes, one or two lives are mere trivial matters by comparison – and are reinforced by a series of related privileges granted by the law, they act as butcher knives of public power far above ordinary criminal police.

"But why would they do that?" Midori Kuriyama still doesn't quite understand the other party's behavior. "The Hakamata Yan case is obviously just an ordinary unsolved case, why do the public security officers working in national intelligence need to care so much about this matter?"

"It is rumored that it is because the police officer who originally investigated Hakamata Yan is the uncle of Tomen Yasuki, who now has a very good relationship with the public security, and Tumen Yasuki is now at a critical moment in the election campaign." Fei Yingli explained calmly. "You should also know that one of the selling points of Yasuki Tumen's election campaign is that he is jealous and hateful, and he is full of loyalty, which is also the role that the people most demanded under the previous series of terrorist turmoil. But even so, his campaign vote share is not too far ahead for the time being. If at this time, his uncle is blamed for unjust, false and wrongful convictions, how much impact do you think it will have on such an iron-fisted person as Yasuki Tumen? ”

"But even if this is the case, is it worth the police to make such a big fight for the sake of a councilor?" Midori Kuriyama seemed to be frightened by Fei Yingli's statement, and stammered like this. "Although he has a high voice as a future prime minister, it should not be ......"

"Although it is said that Tumen Kanghui is now very popular among the lower classes, you must not forget that he belongs to a wealthy family after all," Fei Yingli said as she sat back in her chair. "After all, his strengths can only be fully demonstrated in Congress. And if he enters Congress, what kind of bill do you think he will propose? ”

"You mean that he will choose to expand the power of the police?" Midori Kuriyama finally reacted. "This ......"

"Not only the police, maybe the power of all police will be expanded, and maybe the relevant interrogation procedures will be simplified again." Fei Yingli shrugged. "If you think about it again, aren't the points we attacked in the Hakamata Yan case the same things that Yasuki Todo intends to turn back the clock on history? So in essence, the fact that we are pursuing a just ending for Hakamata Yan is objectively in the way of Yasuki Tomen. In other words, in order to pursue the people's pursuit of judicial power, Tumen Kanghui has blocked our pursuit of justice. ”

"So what should we do next?" Midori Kuriyama asked again.

"What can be done, what else can be done?" Fei Yingli shook her head. "While I haven't disappeared from the world inexplicably like those people, I should hurry up and further organize the relevant materials and distribute them to the other young lawyers who are with us. Even if I do anything other than that, they will be able to win the case properly and securely. ”
