Zhen Yi requested her faculty classmate Si Gui to eat dessert.

Within the 12 months of commencement, the 2 entered the police station collectively; Zhen Yi resigned after working for just a few months and went again to graduate college. Over the previous few years, Si Gui has realized her dream since she was a toddler: turning into a prison police officer.

Si Gui grew up within the countryside of northwest China. She has each the hearty satisfaction of the North and the simplicity and kindness of the countryside. She is a girl with sturdy roots. Even Zhen Yi, who claims to be the grasp of the offensive, often calls her a lifeless ghost in a “coquettish” means.

Si Gui is aware of that there’s nothing she will do concerning the nickname “lifeless ghost” that everybody will name out on the identical time, however right this moment, she needs to battle:

“Zhen, I need to change my identify.”

“Your identify is identical because the dream, you’re protected.” Zhen Yi was perfunctory in comforting her, and ordered poplar nectar and mango sago, and when she turned her head and noticed Si Gui’s squinting expression was fairly estatic, she instantly made a confiding look, “It is the alternative, take a look at me my identify is Zhen Yi which imply righteous, however I am really pretend.”

The corners of Si Gui’s mouth twitched: “That is true.”

After she completed ordering, Zhen Yi paid first.

She remains to be obsessive about altering her identify: “Zhen, I need to change my identify. I used to be referred to as a servant (si) by a bunch of males on a regular basis within the police station. I ought to have been a flower within the police station.”

“….”

“You let males name you little ghost (Gui) ambiguously?” she requested.

“Let’s select an English identify,” Zhen Yi advised, “Rose.”

“Rose.”

Zhen Yi Laughing loudly, Si Gui knew she was being tricked and kicked her arduous from underneath the desk.

“Mother likes roses, so she referred to as me Si Mei. She will undoubtedly name me Si Mei.” Si Gui lamented.

Zhen Yi: “Would you like the brat who simply entered the police station to name you Shi (Si) sister?”

Si Gui’s expression disappeared, and her brow fell on the desk: “Why is my identify so unfortunate?”

Zhen Yi could not cease laughing.

Seeing her like this, Si Gui set free a silent sigh of reduction.

The case of Tang Shang and Lin Ziyi has entangled Zhen Yi for too lengthy, particularly after Tang Shang jumped off the constructing, Si Gui was afraid that she could be in a nasty temper, so she examined it right this moment and located that she was in good spirits, so she identified: “Is your temper okay lately?”

Zhen Yi naturally understood: “Nicely, I am nonetheless calm.”

Si Gui inspired: “You’re nonetheless wonderful. You carried out amazingly in court docket, and this lawsuit made you well-known. If Tang Shang hadn’t dedicated suicide so all of the sudden, perhaps the case would have had a special consequence.”

Zhen Yi: “It was you who settled the case. Did she actually commit suicide?”

“What are you suspecting?”

“No, simply ask.” She did not suppose Tang Chang would commit suicide. However, irrespective of how effectively she comprehends, she nonetheless could not match the puzzle items.

Si Gui: “There are rumors that you simply bought the proof to get $3 million for the Track household’s non-public bills.”

Zhen Yi raised her eyebrows: “Miss Policewoman, do you need to interrogate me?”

Si Gui stopped asking; she does not need to push it additional. She’s not in Zhen Yi’s place, so she will’t touch upon her alternative.

She in all probability guessed what sort of trade Zhen Yi made, which could be what some officers within the system hoped for. She disagrees, and she or he believes that punishing evil is a should for society. However she additionally knew how tough the case was due to the sturdy backgrounds of the 4 defendants. She knew how Zhen Yi had survived the previous few months: sleeping solely two hours a day, amassing proof in every single place to search out witnesses, being threatened each day, and supporting herself. Supporting Tang Chang, who was emotionally unstable on the cusp of the storm.

She should have needed to ship these 4 individuals to jail greater than anybody else, however ultimately…

Zhen Yi lowered her eyes, remembering the phrases of Tang Chang’s youthful sister Tang Yu:

“What’s the usage of going to jail? Lawyer Zhen, can they be sentenced to dying? Are you able to allow them to die? How lengthy will they keep—10 years? With their background, I doubt they are going to be locked up for 3 years. Then let the media exaggerate our tragedy? Then what about our household’s ache and my sister’s dying? In that case, simply deal with my sister as publicity. Don’t netizens say that? I’d moderately take 3 million to make up for my mother and father. Individuals are lifeless, what’s the usage of bullshit justice? Sure, don’t inform me that I’m not that noble to carry them to justice and save others from hurt. To be sincere, I actually hope they gang-raped all the ladies within the Imperial Metropolis.”

Inadvertently, Zhen Yi smiled and bought lonely.

Seeing Si Gui, she blamed herself for speaking an excessive amount of and adjusted the subject: “Why did not Yang Zi come?”
