First-Class Lawyer

The other party wasn’t at all surprised to receive this message, thinking that the distinguished Lawyer Gu was doing guesswork or restoring the details of another case.
He sent two successive messages over:

-Of course. 

-Are you asking about a quiet, unobtrusive type of method?

As the distinguished Lawyer Gu stared at these two messages, he couldn’t help but feel that he was secretly conducting some kind of shady business.

He lightly clicked his tongue, sweeping a gaze over at a certain someone who was making trouble for him.
Then, looking away, he typed with a poker face:

-Yes.
The tools available were very limited, possibly only a smart device.
The time frame was tight as well, within three minutes or less. 

The other swiftly replied:

-If the perpetrator you are simulating doesn’t have any accomplices, then he would have to be an advanced hacker, maybe just a little less capable than me.

Gu · Perpetrator · Yan, “…”

Well, theoretically, he had an accomplice.
The other was the main perpetrator.
He was only an abettor, at best. 

But, alas.
The main perpetrator was too bold, had zero sense of self-awareness, and possibly even wanted to go to jail.

The friend that Gu Yan consulted, perhaps wanting to flex his competency in this niche, immediately put the idea into practice.

After a minute, Gu Yan received a very small program file.

Another message swiftly followed: 

-Did you receive the program I sent you? You can try and simulate it right now.
Open the file, key in ‘search for nearby signals’ on the sixth line.
If there are any detection gates or the like in the vicinity, your smart device will automatically connect to it.
Once it says ‘success’, type ‘e’ in the last line to rig the test to show an ‘error’ result, type in ‘r’ to rig the test to give a random result, or type a space to show the opposite of the original result.

Gu Yan read this exceedingly reactionary content with a calm expression.

Such a friend who would readily give you rain when you asked for wind was a godsend.

-Please make sure that you won’t be asked to go to a police station before trying it. 

His friend messaged him again.

“…”

Apologies.
I’m right about to make this attempt right under the police’s noses.

Lawyer Gu didn’t even bat an eyelid, straightaway setting things into motion. 

Chief Kane had already led his subordinates to arrange both detection gates in place, and his logbook was ready to go as well.

“Excuse me, would it be alright if I made a trip to the washroom?” George Manson lifted a finger.

If there really were physical modifications made, it wasn’t something that could be fixed just by a trip to the washroom.

Chief Kane was very assured regarding this.
So he simply shrugged, saying, “Help yourself.
Then let’s just begin with the ladies.” 

After George Manson started it, several others in the hall who also needed to go to the washroom got up as well.

“Then I’ll go too.
From the looks of it, it won’t be ending anytime soon.”

“Me too.”

“Pardon, I’m going to get a glass of water from the kitchen.” Amidst the trivial smattering of voices, Yan Suizhi, who had been sitting calmly all this while, also raised a finger. 

As soon as he spoke, Gu Yan lifted his eyes.

He couldn’t be blamed for being sensitive.
The blame for this rested on a certain someone who never knew his place.
Just what was he going to do in a kitchen at a time like this?

Gu Yan’s eyebrows drew together slightly.

By chance, Yan Suizhi met his gaze when getting up.
He openly smiled at him then walked towards the kitchen. 

In fact, Professor Yan was struck by sudden inspiration.

This idea had never been tried before, though it was very intriguing nevertheless.
It was very simple and he couldn’t guarantee that it would work.
Only, if it did…

The effect might be… a tad destructive.

Sorry about that, dear honest and diligent friend, Kane. 

Yan Suizhi walked unhurriedly towards the kitchen, an empty glass in hand.
Despite giving a silent apology in his mind, there wasn’t the slightest look of contrition on his face at all. He was a bona fide rogue, through and through.
