Chapter 104: Pretty Female Lawyer
"Mr. Xia, actually I have something I'd like to ask for your help." Yun Qing said straightforwardly.
In the summer, staring at Yun Qing's lovely face, with an expression that couldn't get enough of her: "Sister Yun Qing, whatever it is, just say it and I'll help you."
Xiatian agreed so readily that Yunqing's beautiful willow-leaf eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she couldn't help but glance at Li Ping. Was Li Ping deceiving him?
But thinking carefully, she felt it was impossible. She had known Li Ping for several years and he had even pursued her for a while in the past. Even now, he hadn't completely given up on her. It wouldn't do him any good to deceive her with something like this.
"Mr. Xia, do you still remember Mo Zilun and Li Shan?" Yun Qing asked after some thought.
"Remember, it was that couple who lived in Jintai Community and were killed by the killer." Xia Tian naturally remembered this matter, things that happened with Leng Bingbing, how could he not remember?
Yun Qing saw that he had said it all at once and completely believed that Li Ping did not deceive her. This matter, Xia Tian was indeed informed.
Yun Qing's face showed a hint of sadness: "Mr. Xia, Mo Zilun and Li Xiang are my friends, I really want to find out who the real killer is behind their murder, but the police have made no progress, Li Ping told me that you were the first to discover they were killed by a professional hitman, and also the one who caught the hitman, so I believe you also have the ability to find the real killer behind this. That's why I came today, to ask for your help, I won't let Zilun and Xiang die unjustly."
"This is a problem!" Xia Tian scratched his head, "Qing Jie sister, this might be a bit troublesome. The assassin was caught by Jing Hua sister and she won't let me go interrogate him. Moreover, that guy is a professional hitman. Generally speaking, it's hard to get the employer's identity from a professional hitman because the employer wouldn't directly contact the hitman. It's very difficult to find the mastermind behind this."
Listening to Xia Tian, Li Ping couldn't help but nod: "Yun lawyer, actually Xia Tian is right, I think you'd better not investigate this matter, or it might bring you harm too."
"Li Ping, I know you're doing this for my own good, but Zilun and Shanshan are my twenty-year friends. In this lifetime, there are only two such friends, and now they've died so miserably, leaving behind a five-year-old daughter. I can't just ignore this matter." Yun Qing's expression was resolute, "I must find that scoundrel and make them pay with their lives for Zilun and Shanshan!"
After a pause, Yun Qing turned to Xia Tian and continued to ask: "Mr. Xia, isn't there any other way to find the murderer behind the scenes?"
"Actually, it's not completely gone, there is a relatively simple way."
"What's going on?" Yun Qing hastily asked.
"It's just that they'll round up everyone who might have a grudge against them, interrogate them one by one, and eventually they'll definitely find the mastermind behind it all," Xia Tian replied.
Li Ping couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time, is this what they call a simple solution?
Yun Qing also remained silent for a long time, her face changing colors, and it was unclear what she was thinking.
"Yun lawyer, you won't really do this, will you?" Li Ping was a bit worried. "You're a lawyer, you must know that doing this is illegal, and if things go wrong, it'll drag you down too."
"I know." Yun Qing forced a smile, "Li Ping, don't worry, I won't make trouble. I came to find Mr. Xia today just to try my luck, and if there's really no way, I also can't force it."
"Never mind, let's not talk about this today. Let's eat instead."
Li Ping shook his head silently, knowing that Yun Qing wouldn't give up so easily. He was aware of some inside information about the case - someone higher up had already put pressure on Leng Bingbing to close the case quickly. Although she hadn't closed it yet, with no progress being made, he feared it wouldn't be long before she did. This suggested that there were people above who didn't want the investigation to continue, and the reasons behind Mo Zilun and Li Shuang's murders might not be as simple as they seemed.
In Jianghai City, Yun Qing is also a well-known lawyer, but no matter how famous she is, she is just a lawyer and still a woman. She doesn't have any strong backing, once someone wants to deal with her, she will probably be in big trouble, lightly losing her job, or worse, following the footsteps of Mo Ziren and Li Xiang.
For this beautiful and independent woman, Li Ping had always had a good impression of her. He even pursued her for a while at first, but unfortunately, he gradually discovered that Yun Qing seemed easy-going on the surface, but in reality, she directly rejected everyone in her heart. The reason why she pretended to be easy-going was just because of her lawyer profession, which required her to deal with some people and couldn't be too cold-blooded.
These days, Yun Qing has been going to the police station to gather information and secretly investigating everywhere. Li Ping is a bit worried that she will get into trouble. Suddenly, he decides to introduce Xia Tian to Yun Qing. In Li Ping's view, with Xia Tian's help, even if Yun Qing can't find the culprit behind the scenes, there shouldn't be any problems in terms of safety.
Just looking at Xia Tian staring at Yun Qing with that gaze, Li Ping felt a bit suffocated in his heart. This kid really had his eyes on Yun Qing. But thinking again, anyway, he couldn't catch up to Yun Qing, so what's the point of worrying about it? If this kid really had the skills to win over both Yun Qing and Leng Mei Ren, then Li Ping would be convinced.
Just as Li Ping was lost in thought, his mobile phone rang. It was the police station calling to tell him to hurry back, there was another case.
"My god, why are there so many cases recently?" Li Ping complained and then bid farewell to the two of them, "Lawyer Yun, Xia Tian, I have to go first, you guys eat slowly, let's gather again next time!"
"Li Ping, thank you for today." Yun Qing stood up and saw him off.
"I don't know if you'll scold me later." Li Ping said with a bitter smile, and then hastily left.
In the private room, there were only two people left, Xia Tian and Yun Qing. For Xia Tian, this was naturally an unexpected surprise.
"Mr. Xia, are you really willing to help me?" Yun Qing returned to her seat, looking at Xia Tian with an unusual gaze.
"It's definitely true, you're so beautiful, why would I lie to you?"
Yun Qing couldn't understand Xia Tian's logic and continued to ask: "We just met for the first time, why are you willing to help me?"
"Because you're pretty!" Xia Tian said with a matter-of-fact expression.
"Mr. Xia, I must tell you first that if you help me, I will only give you monetary compensation. As for other forms of compensation, I am unable to provide them." Yun Qing felt the need to make things clear.
"But it's okay, I don't want a reward."
Yun Qing was stunned: "Mr. Xia, you're helping me without wanting any payment?"
"Right, if I were to take money from you to help investigate the killer, that would be equivalent to being your private detective. Third Master said that private detectives are relatively low-level these days, and with my status, I shouldn't do such things."
Yun Qing really wanted to ask what this guy's identity was, but in the end she still held back and didn't ask, because she thought it would be very rude. However, she still couldn't understand, is there really someone in this world who is willing to help her selflessly without compensation? She knew that he had ulterior motives, but she had already made it clear that she would only give monetary rewards, could he not understand?
"But don't you think it's unfair for you to help me like this without any compensation?" Yun Qing asked again, because she had to confirm that this person really wanted to help her. Only then could she tell him some more private things.
Xia Tian chuckled: "Yun Qing sister, how could I lose out? You're so beautiful and have such a great figure, you're almost as good as Jing Hua sister. I'll help you find the mastermind behind this, and then you'll be my wife."
Yun Qing's face changed slightly, and his tone was tinged with a hint of dissatisfaction: "Mr. Xia, I think you still don't understand what I mean. I made it very clear that I can only offer you monetary compensation. If you don't want it, then I won't be able to give you any other form of compensation."
Summer's face was innocent: "Cloud Qing sister, I didn't misunderstand, I just helped you with some small things, and I won't ask you to repay me with your body."
"What did you mean by that sentence, Mr. Xia?" Yun Qing suppressed her anger, she had a request to make of him and naturally didn't want to fall out with Xia Tian.
"Yun Qing, my intention is very simple. I'm helping you now, and after we get familiar with each other, you'll definitely like me, then you'll willingly become my wife. So in the end, I won't be at a disadvantage!" Xia Tian said with a smile.
Yun Qing looked at Xia Tian, and again they were silent for a long time. This guy was too self-absorbed! He actually said that she would definitely fall in love with him?
Although Yun Qing had already seen Xia Tian's appearance, she still couldn't help but observe him carefully again at this moment. In the end, she came to the conclusion that he didn't look handsome and was too young, probably not even twenty years old. For a thirty-year-old like her, he was just a little kid, not her type at all. Even if she couldn't get married, she wouldn't possibly like him.
Yun Qing couldn't help but feel a little regretful, if she had known that Xia Tian was this kind of person, she shouldn't have come to find him. The feeling he gave her was quite unreliable. In an instant, she changed her mind and decided not to come looking for Xia Tian again. This matter, she might as well go ask someone else for help.
However, thinking that she had finally caught the killer who murdered her best friend in the summer, she decided to make it clear to him as soon as possible and let him give up early. This was also her consistent principle. For every man who pursued her, she would bluntly reject them before they fell deeply in love with her. She thought this was good for both parties, so as not to drag things out unnecessarily.
"Mr. Xia, may I ask impolitely, how old are you?" After organizing his words in his mind, Yun Qing asked aloud.
