Evernight God Walk

Nan Ning looked at the scene, her brows were furrowed, the strong and pungent smell of blood and the smell of slightly rotting internal organs made her feel unwell, and her face became even whiter.

But her expression was calm, without the slightest panic, she just stared around and observed.

"Isn't it your first time handling a case?" Xu Shen looked at her in surprise.

Nan Ning said without turning her head: "It's the first time, but I will solve it!" Her words were full of confidence and determination, as well as some kind of firmness, as if she would never give up until it was resolved.

Seeing her so concentrated, Xu Shen didn't bother her anymore, but just glanced at the team of guards.

These people also rummaged around, looked at, and tested. Their duties were not only to protect the lawyers who came to the scene as investigators, but also to collect on-site information.

The wall was destroyed, the corpses were all fatal with one blow, and some heads were twisted off. This kind of power is definitely beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Xu Shen looked it over, and felt strange that although everyone had been killed, some had their stomachs disemboweled, but their internal organs were intact and had not been eaten.

Is it just picky eaters?

Obviously not, Xu Shen has never encountered a picky eater Xu, unless Xu is not hungry.

"Is this family rich?" A guard asked the patrolling guard next to him.

"No, I don't have much money. The family of four just opened their eyes not long ago. They left the household registration status of the foggy people. I heard that they planned to move to the urban area of ​​the Heiguang District and work there, but they didn't expect this tragedy to happen... ..." the inspecting guard sighed.

"How and where did they open their eyes?" the guard asked.

"It seems to be at the Wugong Mutual Aid Association." The inspecting guard said with uncertainty.

Xu Shen's eyes moved slightly, seeing that the guard didn't continue to ask, he immediately leaned over and asked, "How long ago exactly?"

The inspecting guard glanced at Xu Shen, not sure about his identity, but following the lawyer, it was obviously not something he could offend, and immediately said: "It happened a week ago."

The guard glanced at Xu Shen, and Xu Shen suddenly saw a hint of warning in his eyes.

Xu Shen raised his eyebrows slightly to warn himself not to ask too many questions?

or something else?

"There is no sign of breaking into the room. It is a murder in a secret room. The murderer is extremely powerful, and it seems to be an extraordinary life..." Another guard of the inspection hall reported to Nan Ning what they had investigated.

Nan Ning patrolled around, and she inquired about the situation carefully, and when the situation was almost clear, she immediately said: "Take the corpse back for an autopsy first, to see if there are any other missing clues, and follow me to the Wugong Mutual Aid Association , that’s where they opened their eyes, let’s visit first.”

The captain of the guard said: "Officer Bai, this case is basically settled. It doesn't even need to be dissected. It seems that it was caused by Xu. It should be that they saw Xu after opening their eyes. It is also possible that there was a Xu that had been following them all the time. They lived together, but they were fog people before and didn't know it, but now they see an extra 'one person' after opening their eyes."

Nan Ning looked at him: "Where's the evidence?"

"Evidence... Evidence?" The guard captain was slightly startled.

"We need evidence to handle the case. Although your guesses are reasonable, they are just guesses. I just asked. It takes a lot of money for the smog people on your side to open their eyes, and this family used to be smog people, and what they did was basic. They work and earn very little, which can be seen from the conditions in their families."

Nan Ning observed very carefully. The decoration of this family's house was shabby, and based on what she learned from the patrolling guards, the income was extremely low. She did a little calculation and calculated that it was basically impossible for them to save money to open their eyes.

There must be a reason for this.

Maybe it has something to do with how they died.

The guard captain's expression changed slightly, and he said, "What does Officer Bai mean?"

"First investigate why they have money to open their eyes, where did the money come from, maybe it was picked up, maybe it was stolen from a wealthy family somewhere, this may be related to their death, and they were retaliated afterwards." Nan Ning said.

The captain of the guard said: "But judging from the condition of the corpse and the damage at the scene, it can be seen that Xu did it."

"Not necessarily." Nan Ning denied it bluntly, and said: "Maybe someone used Xu to cover up their crimes, and threw the crime on Xu's head, so that they can get away with it."

Xu Shen looked at her with some surprise. Nan Ning was quite different from her usual shyness when she was doing things. She had a vigor and resolute air, and her words even had a kind of majesty!

The captain of the guard frowned, and said, "Officer Bai, this is too much of a fight."

"Huh?" Nan Ning's face changed slightly, and she stared at him: "This is a human life! And it is the life of a family! Shouldn't we investigate carefully, find the murderer, and give them justice?"

It's just a group of smog people who have just opened their eyes, are they considered human beings... The corner of the guard captain's mouth curled slightly, but he couldn't be seen under the cover of the silver mask, he said: "But maybe there is no murderer, the murderer is just Xu."

"That has to be determined by evidence!" Nan Ning said seriously.

The captain of the guard felt helpless and could only say: "Okay."

"go!"

Nan Ning immediately turned and left.

Xu Shen kept watching with cold eyes. Seeing the reaction of the captain of the guard, he narrowed his eyes. When he was about to get into the car, he suddenly looked back at the patrolling guards beside him, and said, "What should we do with their autopsies?"

The inspecting guard froze for a moment and said, "Of course it's cremation, to avoid pollution."

"What about after cremation?"

"After cremation...?"

The inspecting guard was stunned again, then hesitated and said: "If they have relatives, they will contact their relatives to take away the ashes, but in their situation, the whole family has died, the ashes should be... buried Go to the public cemetery."

"Then please take care of it, and be sure to bury it in a public cemetery." Xu Shen said seriously.

The inspecting guard was slightly stunned, and quickly responded.

After Xu Shen got into the car and the car had gone far away, the guard murmured softly: "Really, it will really cause trouble for me."

inside the car.

Nan Ning heard Xu Shen's conversation with the patrolling guards, her eyes flickered slightly, and she looked at Xu Shen with a little softer eyes, although it was the same before, but Xu Shen felt that there seemed to be something different.

He smiled back, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw the old man in the tuxedo running beside him and glared at him angrily.

"Please drive faster."

Xu Shen said to the guard who was driving.

The guard was a little dissatisfied, but he still stepped on the gas pedal, speeding up a little.

"You are more impatient than me." Nan Ning felt the guard's impatience and smiled at Xu Shen.

"The sooner you solve it, the sooner you can rest." Xu Shen smiled.

Nan Ning smiled slightly, and then remained silent and thinking, with a slight depression between her brows, obviously not as cheerful as before handling the case.

Not long after, the vehicle came to the nearby Wugong Mutual Aid Club.

This mutual aid society is spread all over the entire termite city, and this is just a branch.

But despite this, when Xu Shen raised his head, he saw that the building in front of him was extremely magnificent, like a huge shadow blocking the light, shrouded in front of everyone, standing on the towering steps, majestic like a palace.

Nan Ning took a look and frowned.

Although she came to the Inner City for the first time, she is an extremely smart person, otherwise she would not have become its most proud and outstanding student in front of the No. 1 Law of the Inner City.

Just from the few words she said when handling the case and her special inquiry to understand the situation, I know what kind of organization the Wugong Mutual Aid Association in front of me is.

As for the fog people.

She had already seen it through the car window along the street.

Walking along the guideline, she had read about fog people in textbooks in the inner city before: this is a life that walks along the guideline without intelligence and independent thinking ability.

Only after opening the eyes of wisdom can one transform into a human being. This process is called evolution—excerpts from textbooks.

Later, at the suggestion of some people, this description was deleted from the textbook, and some people stood up to express their opposition, thinking that the smog people are also human beings, at most they are only congenitally disabled.

One of the opponents who came forward was her teacher.

She did a lot of work before coming to the bottom city, and she didn't just come here for fun. She naturally had the most detailed understanding of the fog people who had the largest number of entrenched in the bottom city.

And the mutual aid club in front of you is the warming place for the fog people.

Without eyes, the life of the smog people is extremely inconvenient, they are often bullied, and even the assailants cannot be found.

Right in front of you is the place where the fog people are suing.

Nan Ning walked up the steps, her face getting darker as she walked, she asked Xu Shen beside her, "Mr. Xu, will any fog people come here for help?"

Xu Shen looked up, then lowered his head and continued to walk up: "There will be."

"There are so many steps here, it's not convenient at all." Nan Ning said.

Xu Shen nodded slightly, and said: "But no matter how difficult it is to go, when you have nowhere to go, you will still come."

Nan Ning glanced at Xu Shen, said nothing, just walked forward silently with her head down.

The guard captain who followed said: "There is a guide wire next to it. If the fog people are smart, they should learn to follow the guide wire upward."

Nan Ning took a look, and there were indeed guide wire chains on both sides, but perhaps the chains were rusty due to the wind and rain.

Soon, they walked up the steps, Nan Ning took a few deep breaths, and after adjusting her breath, she continued to move forward.

In the hall of the Mutual Aid Society.

The inside was relatively empty, and a few people just came in when they happened to see one of the staff driving away a foggy woman.

"Walk, go, your situation is unreasonable. If you don't go to work, it's normal for people to deduct your salary." The staff waved impatiently.

The foggy women looked extremely weak and staggered after being pushed and shoved. They couldn't see and there were no guide wires in the hall, so they looked nervous and were extremely afraid of the unfamiliar environment around them.

Even though she has no eyes, she can still see her fear.

Maybe fear itself is to let someone with eyes look directly at it.

"I, I only took three days off during my confinement period. I have already greeted the supervisor." The woman in the fog grabbed the staff member's arm with both hands, trying to find a sense of purpose and security, but the other party did not Take a few steps back, obviously unwilling to be touched.

"Besides, he deducted, deducted a month's salary from me. My family just had a baby, and it's very difficult now. I can't live without this money..."

The woman couldn't find the staff, so she sat on the ground and cried.

"Each unit has its own rules and regulations. They act according to the rules. If you are absent from work, you will be deducted for one month. You said you have greeted the supervisor, but the supervisor said no, and you can't produce the leave slip and evidence. How can you judge whether you have done so? Lying?" The office worker said impatiently.

"I, I was in a hurry when I gave birth. I will give birth soon, so I don't have time to write a leave note." The woman in the fog was so anxious that her mouth was pursed. Although she had no eyes, her body was sobbing and her nose was coming out.

"My baby has just been born, you can go and see with me, I really asked for leave to give birth." The woman said urgently.

"Even if you can prove that you have given birth, you have no way to prove that you have asked for leave. If you leave without asking for leave, it is considered absenteeism, and the mutual aid association will not be able to help you. Next time you encounter such a thing, you will grow up on your own." Have some snacks." The office staff waved, but realized that the other party couldn't see, so they could only grab his arm and push him out.

"I really said hello, you can ask the supervisor, I really told him." The woman said eagerly.

"Let's go. I asked your supervisor. He said that you didn't say so. You should hurry up and don't delay others here. We are very busy." The office staff continued to push and push.

The beautiful figure in front of Xu Shen's eyes flickered slightly, and he saw that Nan Ning had already rushed over with great strides.

"You let her go!"

Nan Ning scolded angrily.

The office staff saw that Nan Ning was an open-eyed person, coupled with her exquisite attire, she quickly recognized it as a lawyer's uniform, her face changed slightly, and she smiled and said: "You are a lawyer from the city-state guard station. official?"

"Lawyer?"

When the woman in the fog heard what the other party said, she hurriedly grabbed Nan Ning's hands and feet, and finally hugged her legs, but she seemed to be afraid of something, so she let go quickly, and just touched the ground with her hands, and touched Nan Ning's boots, She knocked her head in front of her boots: "My lord, you have to decide for me, I really asked for leave."

Nan Ning hurriedly helped the other party up, and said: "I will help you decide, don't worry."

The office worker's face changed slightly, and he said hastily: "My lord, don't listen to her nonsense, we have already investigated, and she is absent from work without reason."

Nan Ning was furious, and said: "She obviously just gave birth, can't you tell, there is still such a strong smell of blood, and the wound has not healed yet!"

From the woman's trouser legs, it can be seen that there are a lot of blood stains. Obviously, the other party did not take care to clean it up, and this is also very common for the fog people.

"You are also a woman, how can you make things difficult for her?!" Nan Ning said angrily.

The office worker's expression changed, and he said, "My lord, I'm a woman, but don't confuse me with her. I'm not a vagrant, I've changed my nationality a long time ago!"

Nan Ning was so angry that she choked, she opened her mouth for a while, but couldn't speak.

She glanced at the other party with deep loathing, gritted her teeth and said, "She is a foggy person, you asked her to write a leave note, isn't it embarrassing her?"

The office staff was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly said: "Of course the foggers have to write, it's all a rule."

Xu Shen came over and said to Nan Ning in a low voice: "The foggy people's leave slips are written in the foggy people's way, that's not the point."

Nan Ning was slightly stunned, and said angrily to the office staff: "Even so, I didn't write it down, but the childbirth is such an urgent matter, and it stands to reason that I have to rest for several months to raise the baby, and I only invite you for three days, and it's still in labor. Absent from work?"

"This is the regulation." The office worker glanced at Nan Ning, saw the other party's fair face and age of around 20, with a trace of contempt in the depths of his eyes, and said: "This is the law, Mr. Lawyer!"

"Bai Lvguan, this is indeed the regulation of each unit. Some units do have heavy penalties for absenteeism. This is also to prevent some people from absenteeism without reason." said the captain of the guard behind him.

Nan Ning's face became ugly, and said: "How can there be such a law, what kind of law is this?"

The captain of the guard changed his face slightly, and said in a low voice: "Officer Bai is careful, you are blaspheming the law!"

Nan Ning gritted her teeth and clenched her hands. Although she had seen many hidden and stubborn diseases before, only now did she see the seriousness of the problem when she saw it directly.

No wonder his father told him not to come over, and those words of dissuading him many times now seem to make sense.

just.

She took a deep breath. If this is the difficulty, is she just defeated like this?

Her eyes became firm again, and she said to the office staff: "I want to see the supervisor. This matter can be confronted face to face. She just gave birth, so she should be approved without asking for leave, as long as she has a birth certificate!"

"But she doesn't have a birth certificate." The office worker seemed to be holding on to something, with a little pride in his eyes: "She gave birth by herself, and the birth certificate needs to be issued by the hospital, and she can't get it out."

"What's more, even if you have a birth certificate, you must ask for leave to miss work."

"That means the law is not perfect!" Nan Ning scolded angrily.

The office staff glanced at her with a strange expression, obviously saying, you are a lawyer, and imperfection is your business, what does it have to do with me?I just act according to the law.

"My lord, you must help me." The woman in the fog kowtowed her head and even kissed Nan Ning's boots with her mouth. Seeing that Nan Ning hurriedly drew back her feet, she helped her up, but the other party was so strong that she couldn't help it anyway. refused to get up.

Nan Ning's face was ugly.

The captain of the guard said: "Officer Bai, let's not take care of this kind of nosy matter. It won't kill anyone. Even if you want to take care of it, we can't help. It's her own problem."

"Does it matter if you can't kill someone?" Nan Ning turned around and asked.

The captain of the guard froze for a moment and looked at her helplessly.

Nan Ning gritted her teeth, she really wanted to take care of it, but found that she couldn't find a place to start.

Although it is just a small problem, a small incident, but it involves a loophole in the law of Dicheng. Unless the law is perfected first, but when that happens, can people who need help like this wait until then?
Will delayed justice still be justice?

"I think you should investigate that supervisor." Xu Shen suddenly said, looking at the office worker, he said, "Are you sure, she didn't write a leave note?"

The office staff was taken aback, and said, "Of course, we asked the supervisor."

"Are you sure he's not lying?"

Xu Shen asked.

"This..." The office worker was stunned, then frowned and said, "The other party is a supervisor, with such an identity, he shouldn't lie, right?"

"Should?" Xu Shen stared at her and said, "That is to say, you are not sure? You have no evidence to prove that she did not write the leave note, right? The supervisor also has no evidence. If so, she wrote it, so it is the supervisor's question."

"But she has no evidence to say that she wrote it, let alone she herself said that she didn't write it..." the office staff said quickly.

"She was confused, but she actually wrote it." Xu Shen said.

The office staff was stunned, and looked at Xu Shen like a fool, you are the one who is confused, isn't this plain nonsense?

Nan Ning turned her head and looked at Xu Shen suspiciously, with a strange light in her eyes.

"He just gave birth to a child and was very emotional, how can he remember so much?" Xu Shen said.

"As long as she can provide evidence, we can help her." The office staff returned the words, not stalking Xu Shen.

"It's the responsibility of your mutual aid association to find evidence. Is it possible that her supervisor lost her leave slip?" Xu Shen asked.

Office staff:"……"

"Evidence should not be provided by the victim. Asking the victim to provide evidence is in itself a secondary violation." Xu Shen looked at the office staff and said, "If you can't produce evidence to prove that she did not ask for leave, you should ask the supervisor to give him the evidence." compensation."

"You are illegal." The office worker frowned, not knowing how to explain.

"This is a lawyer, are you questioning our professionalism?" Xu Shen said, "Or can you produce evidence to prove that the supervisor did not lose her leave slip?"

The office staff opened their mouths slightly, realizing that the problem was tricky, so they had no choice but to say: "Then I will contact the supervisor and ask him to come and talk to you in person."

"Row."

The office staff left, and soon, an obese middle-aged man arrived with an impatient face.

Seeing Xu Shen and other law enforcement officers, his expression restrained a little.

"What's the matter, Wang Juan, what are you doing here again, do you still want to do it?!" The middle-aged man saw the foggy woman and immediately scolded.

The woman shivered and hid behind Xu Shen.

The office staff stepped forward and explained the situation in a low voice.

The middle-aged man was a little astonished. He stepped forward angrily and said, "She missed work for three days without asking for leave. It's normal to deduct one month's salary. Is there any problem? We all act according to the company's regulations!"

"The rules are okay, but you have a problem." Xu Shen looked at him and said, "Who said she didn't ask for leave? She did. Why do you say she didn't?"

"She obviously didn't ask."

"How do you prove it?"

"I said I didn't invite you, so I didn't invite you."

Xu Shen didn't continue to talk nonsense, he reached out and touched the other party's pocket, took out a leave note, and said, "Isn't this her leave note?"

The middle-aged man was stunned, looked carefully, and couldn't help saying: "Impossible, this is impossible!"

"Framing a colleague and causing economic loss, what kind of crime is this?" Xu Shen looked at Nan Ning.

Nan Ning was taken aback for a moment, and immediately said: "Detention will be punished according to the economic loss. The maximum is three years in prison, and the minimum is half a month."

"This is what you just stuffed in, it's not from my pocket." The middle-aged man reacted angrily.

Xu Shen looked at him coldly: "What proof do you have?"

The middle-aged man was so angry that he pointed at him, "You, do you think you can do whatever you want because you belong to the city-state guard?"

Xu Shen glanced at him, ignored him, and looked at the captain of the guard beside him.

Seeing this, the captain of the guard took a step, signaled to the two people around him, and quickly grabbed the middle-aged man with both hands and pressed him to the ground: "As long as you break the law, we will really do whatever we want."

"You are not reasonable!"

The captain of the guard snorted coldly, and ordered the team members to take him away.

Nan Ning breathed out, looked at Xu Shen, and said, "Although your method is not legal, it works."

"To deal with stubborn diseases, gouging them out is the quickest way to deal with them." Xu Shen said, then looked at the woman beside him, and said, "Give me your address, and I'll arrange someone to pick you up later, and let you work in another place."

The women in the fog were a little confused, wondering if they should thank them.

Seeing Nan Ning's suspicious gaze, Xu Shen said, "I'm afraid that the supervisor will come out and continue to embarrass her, otherwise we will help her out and actually harm her."

Nan Ning nodded slightly, and then stared at Xu Shen: "You seem to know these things very well."

Xu Shen smiled: "I've seen something similar before, oh no, I've heard of it."

Afterwards, Xu Shen contacted Da Lili by means of communication, briefly explained, and asked her to send someone to the residence of the foggy women and arrange another job for them.

In addition to Zhanxu, the Chasing Light Society also has many industries under its command.

Factories, companies, shops, etc.

Randomly arranging a few jobs is a trivial matter for Xu Shen.

After hearing Xu Shen's arrangement, Nan Ning knew that the bodyguard specially sent by the family was not just for nothing, and also had a status in Dicheng, she sighed lightly and said, "I have learned so many laws, but I almost couldn't handle such a situation. A trivial matter can only be resolved by your strange words."

Xu Shen smiled, and said: "The same thing, other fog people will also say that they are quick-spoken, but it is useless for them to say it, and they will probably be kicked out before they finish speaking. It depends on our In terms of identity, you have the qualifications to argue with others."

Nan Ning was slightly startled, and fell silent.

She naturally understands the power brought by her status, and she has felt it deeply since she was a child.

However, the law is not a weapon of power. She hopes that the law can be perfected so that even ordinary people can take up this weapon to protect themselves.

The problem of this little episode also made Nan Ning realize the importance of perfecting the law. This is also a question often asked by the teacher, and she would sigh every time she mentioned it.

Now, she seemed to be able to understand the feelings behind those sighs.

As the episode passed, they continued to visit the Fog Workers' Mutual Aid.

Seeing that they were members of the city-state guardianship, the staff of the Mutual Aid Association cooperated very well, and quickly found the Miemen family based on the name and address information provided.

Not long after, they came to the back hall of the Mutual Aid Club, and a young man arrived.

"This is Deacon Zheng." The office staff introduced.

Nan Ning got up, staring and said: "Deacon Zheng, I heard that Zhao Qing's family came here last week, looking for you to open your eyes?"

"Looking for Zhao Qing? Which Zhao Qing?" The young man was puzzled.

Nan Ning was already prepared, and handed out the black and white photo she had taken in her hand.

The young man recognized it after a few glances, and suddenly said: "So it's them, did something happen to them?"

Nan Ning didn't answer, but asked, "Have they got all the money they need to open their eyes?"

"It's in place, what's the matter?" the young man wondered.

Nan Ning looked directly at him: "How could they give all of this money?"

The young man was taken aback, and said helplessly: "I don't know about that, I just collect money to do things."

Nan Ning frowned.

Xu Shen took a look at the young man and said, "We found something at the scene, and there was also a diary in which Deacon Zheng was mentioned. Are you sure you don't know about it?"

The young man's face changed slightly, and he said, "Don't talk nonsense, how can there be any diary... Uh, what did you mention about me?"
