The Witch's Taste

To be honest, how long has it been since you relaxed like this?

In the past, in order to take care of her younger sister, she almost never left home on rest days. Even if it was difficult to go out, she would never leave her side for a moment. She was worried that she would lose sight of the road and get hurt, and also because she didn't want her to be afraid because she didn't have her brother to accompany her.

It's really convenient to have a housekeeper help to watch...

Chen Ziang was just letting go of his thoughts, when his right hand was suddenly grabbed and pulled forward slightly.

"Senior, look quickly! Saka!" Yuegong Lingna's lively and joyful voice quickly brought his consciousness back to reality.

Before he tried to break free, the warm touch in his hand disappeared again.

Tsukimiya Suzuna was lying on the glass of the aquarium, staring at the fish swimming gracefully inside with wide eyes, and said in surprise:

"Senior, how many colors are there on the scales of this fish? It's like a rainbow!"

"Indeed." Chen Ziang looked at the colorful fish.As they stretch their scales while swimming, the colors reflected are constantly changing. They are indeed quite beautiful species.

"What is Sakana?"

"It means 'fish'." Suzuna Tsukimiya continued to stick to the glass, and said, "Senior, although my family background is not bad, but my family education was very strict when I was young, and my parents usually didn't let me go out with my friends at all. "

"So, this is actually my first time at the aquarium."

"How do you feel?" Chen Ziang asked.

"It feels like... I still like fish." Tsukimiya Suzuna poked the glass with her finger, trying to attract the attention of these rainbow fish.

Chen Ziang thought that she would have to watch for a long time, but she soon lost interest in these fish, turned around and said:

"Senior, let's go to the Dolphin Bay ahead and try that fish by the way."

Dolphin Bay is a non-open-air fjord connected to the external thermal lake of the aquarium. Because the staff puts feed here all the year round, it attracts many freshwater dolphins to live nearby. It is a half-wild and half-domesticated species.

These freshwater dolphins are very intelligent and can understand the instructions of their keepers and perform performances.However, due to the prevalence of animal protectionism in recent years, many people subconsciously equated "animal training" with "animal abuse". Therefore, the corresponding dolphin show was also strongly criticized and boycotted by the public media. In the end, the aquarium had to announce that it would permanently Discontinue this event.

Therefore, when Chen Ziang and Yuegong Suzuna arrived at Dolphin Bay, they only saw tourists in twos and threes leaning on the railings, while the freshwater dolphins kept their heads out of the water, calling out to these tourists in a friendly manner.

I don't know if it means "feed me" or "play with me". After all, he has never exchanged powers such as "proficient in animal language".

Suzuna Tsukimiya looked to the right. Adjacent to the mouth of the bay, there was a large open space. It was originally a place to watch dolphin performances. Now, a collective wedding ceremony for new couples will be held.

Where is Xiaoxi now?Why not come?

Anyway, it's a wedding at two o'clock in the afternoon, so you should be there at least ten o'clock in the morning and wait?

Even if you don't care about your wedding, at least don't forget to help me!

She quietly looked at Chen Ziang from the corner of her eye, and seeing that her senior seemed to be very interested in these freshwater dolphins, she quickly took out her phone secretly, intending to ask her friend's current location.

"Mr. Chen?" A woman's voice suddenly sounded from the side.

Yue Gong Suzuna shuddered suddenly, and quickly raised her head, only to realize that the tourist who came to say hello was a woman in her forties.

"Ms. Gao Ye?" Chen Ziang recognized the other party and said in surprise.

"I didn't expect you to remember me." The other party seemed to want to show a polite smile, but in the end it failed.

The entangled melancholy lingered between her eyebrows and eyes, to the point that it made this woman dull, which made Chen Ziang feel that something was wrong... because he still remembered that the last time he saw this woman, she was still very shrewd A capable working woman, she speaks and does things with a vigorous attitude.

But he didn't think too much about it for the time being, he just introduced it to Tsukimiya Suzuna:

"Takano Seiko is a very powerful lawyer. This is my colleague, Tsukimiya Suzuna."

"Hello, Ms. Takano." Tsukimiya Suzuna said reservedly.

"Tsukimiya Suzuna?" Seiko Takano seemed to recognize her, and asked in surprise, "You are...the daughter of Tsukimiya Kiyomasa from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs?"

"It's my father." Tsukimiya Suzuna admitted frankly.

Hearing this news, Takano Seiko was stunned for a long time, then whispered:

"Mr. Chen, long time no see. Although it is very presumptuous to mention this matter hastily, I need your help."

Yue Gong Ling Nai couldn't help but lamented in her heart, and when Chen Zi'ang heard the crowd reporting the crime and asking for help, he subconsciously entered the professional state of a security officer, and said seriously:

"Is there something? Please tell me."

Seiko Takano was silent for a moment, then suddenly said:

"Mr. Chen, do you still remember the previous sexual harassment case?"

"Remember." Chen Ziang nodded, and seeing Yuegong Lingna next to him with a confused face (why can I meet such a person on a good date), he explained it to her by the way.

That was when he joined the Public Security Department for nearly two and a half years. When he was out on duty to investigate a case, he happened to meet a strange man who beat Seiko Takano.

As a security officer, although he is responsible for mysterious matters, maintaining social order is also a professional instinct, so Chen Ziang quickly stopped the fight - and then he learned the whole story.

It turns out that Takano Seiko is a lawyer who is helping clients solve sexual harassment in the workplace.

Since the client's request is to stop the harassing behavior, litigation should be avoided as much as possible.Therefore, after she collected enough evidence, she asked the other party out to negotiate and ordered him to restrain his behavior, otherwise he would resort to the law.

However, the other party probably saw that she was a woman, so he immediately thought of using violence, intending to snatch the evidence she presented and destroy it.

If Chen Ziang hadn't come to the rescue, let alone the evidence, she would have been beaten unavoidably.

"Since then, we have become friends with each other." Chen Ziang finally said, "When I have any legal issues at work, I will occasionally consult Lawyer Gao Ye."

"Oh, that's it." Yuegong Suzuna breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that she was just a tool-boy friend.

"Mr. Chen." Takano Seiko smiled palely, and then continued, "Actually... it was because of that case that I had the idea of ​​what I wanted to do."

"Sexual harassment, whether it is in the workplace or in life, has the characteristics of difficult evidence collection, difficult definition, and difficult judicial enforcement. Women have always been victims in this regard, and they are undoubtedly vulnerable groups. Many people just suffer in silence Injury, not to mention using the law to protect oneself, even dare not say 'no' to the perpetrator."

"Therefore, some partners in the law firm and I formed an organization called 'Women's Mutual Aid'."

"We will take the initiative to find victims of sexual harassment, persuade them to entrust, guide them to actively collect evidence, and use the weapon of law or public opinion to protect themselves."

"Oh, isn't that good." Chen Ziang nodded.

Then, on the face of Seiko Takano, the reluctant smile that maintained the politeness finally receded, leaving only a kind of sad and powerless paleness:

"Just last month, a certain college student entrusted our women's mutual aid association, accusing that a male classmate secretly took pictures up her skirt."

"Several members of our organization accepted the entrustment, found the school to try to interfere, and asked the boy...to publicly apologize to the victim."

"But the boy still refused to admit it, and then jumped from the balcony on the fifth floor that night."

"He...is my son."

Chapter 71

The development of the story is not complicated, but the relationship between the characters is a bit bloody.

Women's Mutual Aid Club is an active chat group on the Internet.

There are professional legal professionals who are responsible for providing guidance; social activists who are good at running around, who are responsible for helping victims; Women, cheer for the new sisters who joined the group for help.

After all, the biggest difficulty in rights protection for similar harassment is that the victims themselves don't even want to make the matter public, but unilaterally hope that the perpetrators will stop the harassment, so someone needs to push them behind.

Seiko Takano is the founder, elder and soul of this group, but he is not the most active person in the group.

As we all know, no matter how good you are in the group, there will always be someone who is better than you.

In addition, as a lawyer, she is busy with affairs, so it is impossible to follow the group 24 hours a day, so she gave many management positions and asked some enthusiastic netizens to help.

And this incident happened without Seiko Takano's knowledge:

A female college student from Beihai University asked for help, claiming that another male classmate secretly took pictures up her skirt, and two girlfriends were willing to testify.

So the two managers in the group volunteered and went offline to the school where the target was located. After learning the whole story with the victim, they took the victim and witnesses to find the school leader.

The school also attached great importance to this matter, and immediately called the accused male student to the principal's office for questioning, asking him to disclose the photos on his mobile phone.

The boy refused with excitement, and asked the school leader what qualifications he had, asking him to disclose the contents of the phone.

Their quarrel was so intense that it spread in the department that day. Everyone knew that the boy in the law school secretly took pictures of the female classmate's skirt with his mobile phone...

What happened next is unknown.But that night, the boy jumped from the balcony of the fifth-floor dormitory.

Since the video of him jumping was clearly captured by surveillance, and there were no other roommates present in the dormitory at the time, the Beihai District Public Security Department's Search Division [-] ruled out the possibility of homicide after conducting a preliminary case investigation.

"Ms. Gao Ye." Chen Ziang said patiently, "I have not been to the scene to investigate. But according to your statement, the possibility of your son's suicide is quite high. Do you have doubts about the investigation results of the Beihai District Public Security Department?"

"No." Takano Seiko shook his head and said sadly, "I mean, their investigation results are too hasty."

"My husband... has been a person with a strong sense of responsibility since he was a child. He has always dreamed of my job, and also dreamed of becoming a lawyer, using the law to defend procedural justice."

"I have raised him for 20 years, and I know what a persistent child he is. In order to become a lawyer, he devoted himself to his studies since he was a child. He has never been in love. He was the main force of the school debate team in junior high and high school, and finally passed the exam. He entered the law school of Beihai University and signed up for an internship at our law firm during the summer vacation... How could such a child and such a decent husband know the law and break the law and do such despicable behavior?!"

She seemed to realize her gaffe, and quickly restrained her voice, but said with red eyes:

"Procedurally speaking, the Beihai District Public Security Bureau determined that he committed suicide, so there is no problem."

"But as a mother, I can't accept that the reason for my husband's death is just a pale 'suicide'!"

"I went to the Beihai District Public Security Bureau, but they thought these things had nothing to do with the case itself; I went to the school leader, but the school leader insisted that he didn't beat and scold the husband, and he didn't even want to disclose the identity of the victim; And the two managers in the group, after knowing that the husband is my son, quickly quit the group and left."

"Mr. Chen, I hope to entrust the Public Security Department of Jibei City to help me find out the whole story: did he take a sneak shot, what happened in the principal's office, and what happened when he returned to the dormitory. What is it that made him completely desperate for this world, and finally chose to jump off the balcony on the fifth floor..."

Speaking of the latter, Takano Seiko finally broke down in tears, covering his face and weeping, his body bent down deeply.

Chen Ziang and Yuegong Lingnai hurriedly comforted her, and they also looked embarrassed at each other.

The incident happened in the Beihai District. As an officer of the Jibei City Public Security Department, Chen Zi'ang couldn't go to the district to govern... What's more, he didn't even come from the Criminal Investigation Section.

However, territorial cases should be handled by local security agencies. It is impossible for Seiko Takano to know about this. It is nothing more than holding a dead horse as a living horse doctor to see if he can solve it.

Therefore, Chen Ziang also persuaded her a few words, and promised to ask her through the relationship, and she would be notified if there was any news later.

He also wanted to send the poor mother to a nearby coffee shop to rest, but Takano Seiko just thanked him a thousand times, and then left in a desolate figure.

"It's a poor person." Looking at the back of the other party, Chen Ziang couldn't help but said with emotion, "You know, Suzuna. Ms. Gao Ye used to be a...very strong person, whether it was negotiating in private, Or in court defense, I can often use a few words to hit the point directly, leaving the other person speechless."

"Being able to force her into this state is almost completely different from the original her... The death of her son must have hit her too hard."

"Yes." Tsukimiya Suzuna agreed, but something was wrong in her heart.

However, for a while, I couldn't tell what was wrong. It wasn't that I felt malicious or deceived, but the feeling of "I seem to have overlooked something".

She was vacillating between "continue to think about this matter" and "take the senior to play", only to hear a familiar shout from a distance:

"Suzuna-chan!"

Turning around to look, it was indeed Song Xi trotting all the way over.

"Let me introduce." Yuegong Lingnai said that she finally came, and said with a smile on her face, "Senior, this is Song Xisong, a classmate who is currently studying for a Ph.D. in International Relations at Extreme North University. Good girlfriend."

"Hello." Chen Ziang nodded at her.

Song Xi also took the opportunity to look at this man: he is not bad in height, well-proportioned, with good facial features, he can be called handsome.

But the most striking thing is his demeanor, as if a sharp sword is about to be unsheathed, he is worthy of that job, he looks very reliable and has a sense of security.

Since she was a child, Suzuna-chan has never lied to any man who has shown her affection. It is unexpected that she likes such a type.

"By the way." Yuegong Lingnai said jokingly, "The top three royal families in the Gaotianyuan star area: Shi, Qin, and Song. Song Xi is a member of the Song family. Seniors may not give me face, but they must give her Save face, or let the public security department fire you, senior later!"

"Oh!" Song Xi was very embarrassed and argued, "How can you introduce people like this! In terms of power and status, isn't your father still from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs?"

Chen Ziang was subconsciously nervous when he heard about "Song Family".Hearing Song Xi's last sentence, he couldn't help laughing out loud again.

Indeed, when it comes to this, Tsukimiya Suzuna is also a standard second generation.But when have I ever seen her use her family's power to oppress others?

To put it bluntly, she was just an ordinary, lovely and lovely lady.

Chapter 72

Song Xi, whose father is Song Mingyuan, is currently the confidential secretary of the Governor of the Gaotianyuan Star Region.

Within the Imperial system, the Moff is the highest ranking ruler of a sector.

Therefore, if you put it in the ancient feudal dynasty, this is almost the daughter of the prime minister... She is also a noble daughter with a prominent family.

In the past, he might still be a little nervous.

But now, he has been infected with "Suzuna's disease" for too long, and his body probably has antibodies that are immune to the eldest lady, so Chen Ziang can smoothly cope with Song Xi's various chats.

Song Xi's side is even more strange: because the security officer in front of him, although he looks good, has a good temperament, and a decent character, but he just stays at this level.

Slightly better than ordinary people, but not too prominent.

With Suzuna's conditions, finding such a man would be effortless at all.

Fair appearance, dignified temperament, and excellent character, entrusting these conditions to Song Xi, she thought that she could provide a list of at least 200 people within a month, from the military to the public security system, and it would not cost much at all. Blow the dust.
