Chapter 336: In the Story, Out of the Story
Iron windows, glass, telephone
No matter what boss Zhou was busy with, Lawyer An had to find time to do what he had to do. Even if his business was now 80% or 20% of Zhou Ze’s, this did not dampen his passion for work.
To be honest..,
this job earned him favors, underground favors. He gave Zhou ze 80% of the profit, which was also an investment sentiment. As for the Ming banknote that he dropped Midway and the improved quality of life, in Lawyer An’s eyes, it was just a side effect.
Actually..,
he still didn’t understand,
why did boss Zhou, who opened the bookstore..,
like money so much?
Money, what’s there to like,
stinky..,
so dirty.
The prisoner sat down and picked up the phone. His expression was a little gloomy.
It could be seen that..,
during this period of time in prison, his life might have been a little too comfortable. Yes, he belonged to the comfortable side, like the dewdrops on the morning flower stamens, tender and alluring.
“Help Me Get Out!”
The first thing he said when he opened the door was to request to be released from prison.
“Wait a little longer,” Lawyer An rejected bluntly.
“Do you want to move in instead? What do you think it will feel like?”The prisoner was a little emotional. “Let me tell you, I can’t hold it in any longer. These guys bully me every day!”
“Since you can’t hold it in any longer, you can go on a killing spree in prison.”
Lawyer An took out his nail clippers and trimmed his nails.
“If you can’t hold it in anymore, I’m sorry. I Can’t let you go out and gain your freedom, because this means that you will still cause trouble for me when you get out.”
The conversation..,
fell into silence.
There were very few good people who could come out of hell. How could a person who was good to each other and had nothing to do with the world think of escaping from a riot?
Therefore, a large part of Lawyer An’s work was spent on “Cooking the eagle”.
By grinding away the edges and corners of these people, he let them understand the rules of the world of the living.
“How much longer do I have to stay?”
“Two months.”
“Why did you extend it?”
“Because today’s conversation made me a little disappointed.” Lawyer An shrugged.
“You, Shameless!”
“Please, what I earn is only the Netherworld note. But if something goes wrong and some patrol inspector suddenly runs up to check on the situation, I might lose my life.”.
So..,
please..,
shut up..,
and enjoy your life in prison.”
“That person contacted me,”the other party said.
“Which person? Below? Do you still have the ability to contact below here?”
Lawyer An frowned. He was very displeased with this situation. If the underground client interfered with his arrangements, it would cause a deviation in his “Eagle Endurance”plan.
“No, the one I told you about last time, the one who got his sentence reduced by writing a book in prison.”
“Bang!”
Lawyer An slammed his hands on the glass, his eyes staring at the prisoner in front of him.
“Hey, be careful!”
In the distance, the prison guard pointed to this side and warned.
Lawyer An made an apologetic gesture and sat down again, but his face was gloomy as he said, “I remember I warned you not to go near that person.”
“I didn’t go near him. If he took the initiative to look for you.”
“What? He took the initiative to look for You?”
“Yes, if he took the initiative to look for you, he said that he needed to find a lawyer. He knows that I have a very good lawyer, so he wants me to introduce you to him.”
Lawyer An’s expression changed. That person wanted to look for him?
“Did he really say that?”
“Why would I lie to You? Also, you can go to the prison now and say that you want to be his lawyer. The two of you should be able to meet soon.
“Because he’s the prison’s poster boy for rehabilitation and publicity. The prison will definitely give him this bit of accommodation. Besides, he’ll be out in another year.”
“I understand.”
Lawyer An nodded.
He hung up the phone,
the prisoner was brought back to the prison by the prison guards,
Lawyer An slowly packed the briefcase in front of him.
After walking out and smoking a few cigarettes in the smoking area, Lawyer An took the initiative to contact the prison. After explaining his purpose for coming, the prison really made things easier for him.
Of course..,
Lawyer An also received feedback that the other party’s application for a lawyer had been submitted yesterday.
About an hour later,
it was still in the visiting room,
Lawyer An sat back down.
His fingers tapped gently on the briefcase. To be honest, he was a little nervous.
This person was completely different from the customers he had met before. In the past, he was the one who went to look for them. This time, it was the customers’turn to look for him.
He really wanted to refuse. He really wanted to refuse, but curiosity killed the cat. Lawyer An really wanted to know what the other party was looking for him for!
The door was opened,
he walked in, not even wearing handcuffs. Even the prison guard who had escorted him over smiled at him.
Yes..,
such a prisoner..,
in the eyes of the prison,
he was like a good student in the eyes of a teacher,
in addition, he had less than a year to go out, which was indeed very reassuring.
The other party sat down through the glass.
He did not speak,
Lawyer An maintained his sitting posture and crossed his legs. He did not speak, but the muscles in his legs were already somewhat stiff.
After a short while..,
Lawyer An grabbed his thigh with one hand and placed it down. Then, he took a deep breath and picked up the microphone.
Seeing Lawyer An’s action, the other party also picked up his microphone and placed it beside his ear.
“Gulp…”
Lawyer An swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
“Hello.”
“Hello.”
After a simple greeting, Lawyer An finally asked again,
“You… are looking for me?”
The other party nodded.
“Do you need my help… for what?”
The other party shook his head.
“This…”
What the hell are you looking for me for?
“If I want you, don’t do anything,”the other party said.
“Don’t do anything? Wait, it’s still us?”
Lawyer An emphasized the word “US.”.
“Yes, you.”
“May I ask, who else does this ‘us’represent? My Client? Or the one underground?”
The other party shook his head.
“What does that mean?”
“Where do you live now?”
“I Live…”
Lawyer An understood.
“Don’t do anything. It’s like this in the near future.”
“I don’t think we’ve done much recently. You Don’t know how decadent the bookstore I’m staying at is. My family is a bunch of idlers. All we have to do every day is to do nothing.”
“I’m so tired.”
“What?”
“Talking to you.”
“Talking to me, I’m So Tired?”
The other party nodded.
“…” Lawyer An.
“I don’t really like to talk. I prefer to write with a pen and write stories.”
“Yes, I know that.”
“I’ve just finished writing an article recently, but due to the subject matter, it’s very difficult to publish it.”.
“In the domestic environment, literary and artistic creation involving the supernatural is very strict. It’s very easy to get close to promoting feudal superstition. Several magazines and newspapers that used to accept my articles have chosen to reject it this time.”
“And then?”
“Although it can’t be published outside, the prison has still published it in the prison’s own journals. When you leave, you can ask the communication room for a copy. It’s quite an interesting short story.”
“Okay.”
Then..,
there was silence again.
“Is there anything else?” Lawyer An asked.
The other party shook his head.
“Then can I leave now?”
The other party nodded.
Lawyer An was speechless for a moment, but he was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he smiled and said as if he was joking,
“It’s said that back then, it was you who…”
The other party suddenly raised his head,
he was a little puzzled,
he was a little empty,
Lawyer An’s words instantly stopped.
Silence,
silence again.
The other party opened his mouth, then sighed and said, “That’s my fault.”
“Uh… I shouldn’t have asked.”
“That’s why curiosity will kill the cat.”The other party smiled and continued, “One day, you’ll be hit by a car and die. Don’t complain.”
“I’ll be careful.”
After saying that, Lawyer An stood up.
“Don’t you want the reward?”The other party asked.
Lawyer An sat back down.
“Unfortunately, if you want it, I have nothing to give you.”
The other party seemed to be a little regretful.
Lawyer An immediately stood up and walked out with his briefcase,
the baby was angry,
he couldn’t play around with people like this!
As he walked out, Lawyer An planned to drive back early. Before returning to the bookstore, he could have a meal by himself and order the famous dish “Two phoenix holding pearls”to satisfy his appetite.
When he passed by the guard booth in front..,
Lawyer An seemed to have thought of something. He walked over and knocked on the window.
“What’s the matter?”The prison guard inside opened the window and asked.
“Comrade, do you have any periodicals here? The one in the prison.”
“What do you want this for?”The other party was a little curious.
Most of the periodicals and magazines in his own unit were too lazy for his family to read. If it wasn’t for the fact that he felt uncomfortable wiping his butt, he would probably have destroyed them in the toilet.
“Oh, I have a client’s article published on this. He asked me to bring one back to his mother to read. He has finally won an award for his writing.”
The prison guard searched the table and took out a very thin magazine.
The magazine was very thin. Of course, most of the magazines nowadays wouldn’t be much thicker if the advertising pages were removed.
There would not be any businessmen who would be crazy enough to come and sponsor a prison internal journal.
“Thank you.”
Lawyer An thanked him and walked to the parking lot with the magazine.
He started the car and turned on the air conditioner. However, the car was very hot and stuffy from the Sun. Lawyer An could only stand by the side and wait for the air conditioner to continue to turn on to lower the temperature inside.
He lit a cigarette and smoked.
He picked up the magazine,
the cover was printed very roughly,
however, the magazine’s name was very domineering:
“Prison scene.”
“TSK TSK.” Lawyer An smacked his lips and casually flipped through it. That guy’s article was at the end.
The title was “Untitled.”.
Lawyer An remembered that he had read many good novels in his previous life. The author’s name was “Anonymous.”.
The story was not very long. It seemed that only the first part of the story was written. It seemed that this was intended to be serialized.
It was about a good policeman who sacrificed himself in order to save the hostages,
his soul returned after death for a special reason,
he was resurrected,
he continued to fight against criminals
“It’s really old-fashioned. I’ve seen many similar European and American movies.”
Lawyer An felt a little bored after reading the story,
but slowly,
he seemed to have thought of something,
he was stunned.
