After eating a meal, everyone feels comfortable. Gongsun suddenly became Bai's mother's favorite son. Every bite and every policy is sweet.

Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao carried snacks after dinner and ate them on the sofa. Luban hadn't seen the two for a long time, and he licked his fur next to Zhan Zhao. Bai Jintang and Zhan Qitian were talking about things, as if it was about business, investment and finance. Bai Yunwen walked down to Bai Yutang and the others, and asked, "What are you busy with recently?"

"Oh, it's still the haunted house case." Bai Yutang shook his head, and Zhan Zhao suddenly remembered and asked Bai Yunwen, "By the way, uncle, do you know about the fire in the Normal University fourteen years ago?"

Bai Yunwen was taken aback for a moment. He ordered the cigar that Gongsun had just given him and tasted it. He nodded with satisfaction and said, "I have some impressions of this case. Well, did a student suffer serious injuries?"

"Yes" Bai Yutang came to the spirit, "Dad, you know?"

Bai Yunwen thought for a while, and asked Zhan Qitian on the side, "Qitian, the normal university fire case, do you remember?"

Zhan Qitian thought for a while, and said, "I remember that case, it was a mess at the time."

"How messy is it?" Zhan Zhao asked curiously, hugging his pillow.

Zhan Qitian recalled and said, "The school told the builders that there was a problem with the building structure, the students told the school for negligence, the students who ignored the safety of the students, the students who were burned, told the school, and also told the classmates. It's also seen in major newspapers but the day before the trial, they suddenly said that they wanted to settle out of court."

"Huh?" Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao both looked at each other in surprise and looked at Zhan Qitian, "What is this? First, the city is full of troubles, and then they talk about reconciliation outside the court?"

Zhan Qitian nodded and said, "At that time, the media attention was high because everyone felt that the burned student was innocent. On the other hand, he was worried that the school put pressure on him and made him give up the idea of ​​litigation. I was then I was still working as a prosecutor, and I went to meet the student specially. He was really burnt. I asked him if he wanted to file a lawsuit. If he don't understand, he can ask. But he said he didn't want to sue because the illegal electrical appliance that caught fire was his. Well, if the school and other students sue him in turn, he may be even more miserable. At least the school has promised to protect his life."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other, Zhan Zhao was curious, and asked, "Dad, do you remember that person's name?"

Zhan Qitian thought for a while, and said, "The last name is Chen, I don't remember the name."

"Uncle, are you sure he could speak at that time?" Bai Yutang asked.

Zhan Qitian was taken aback, nodded, "Yes."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang glanced at each other, all wondering.

"What's wrong?" Zhan Qitian asked inexplicably.

"Chen Jian Xian is now deaf and dumb. If it wasn't caused by the injury back then, it might be something happened later, or just pretending." Bai Yutang pondered, "But pretending to be deaf and dumb can bd done. But, what are the benefits?"

"You two have to eat while you eat. Can't you don't think about the case after a while?" Bai Yunwen shook his head and asked Bai Yutang, "Why don't you ask him about this case?"

"Hey, I just asked about the one from seven years ago, and now I'm asking about the one from 14 years ago." Zhan Zhao said helplessly.

"Seven years ago?" Zhan Qitian thought for a while, "By the way, this normal university does have a lot of fires. There have been three fires in just over ten years."
