I have a big ball of light

Chapter 14 You have to find a lawyer after all

"O'Neal, tell me what happened."

Claude sat tiredly on the sofa in the hotel suite. As for his high-end apartment, it was sealed off as a crime scene.

"Boss, according to the information I heard, last night, a vicious murder occurred in Room 502 above your apartment. The victims were a New York senator and a Hollywood female star. Both of them had their own families. "O'Neill said with joy.

"Now the entire American media is in a frenzy. My friends at the police station told me that the scene at the crime scene was very bloody. It is said that many forensic doctors and police officers present at the scene vomited."

"What does this have to do with me? I don't care about those messy celebrity gossips. I only care about why I was arrested because I live where the murder occurred and my apartment is in a mobile building."

Claude roughly interrupted O'Neill's gossip spirit and rubbed his head with both hands in collapse.After rubbing it for a while, as if he remembered something, he raised his head in surprise and said loudly:

"Wait what you just said last night"

"Yes, last night. It is said that the time of the crime was around 11 o'clock." After receiving a positive answer, Claude stood up suddenly and roared:

"I was attending the New York Mayor's cocktail party at 11 o'clock yesterday. Do you remember that you accompanied me to the police station to record a statement?" He kicked the sofa hard with his feet, as if venting his unsatisfied anger. Of course, Claude's weak body did not cause much damage to the sofa.

"I even signed a damn confidentiality agreement. Do you know that damn Keane is a downright violent person?

I've never been so insulted in my life. That white pig almost killed me.

I will sue him until his family is destroyed.”

Seeing the increasingly manic Claude, O'Neill had to stand up, stretched out his hands to hold his shoulders, and comforted:

"Calm down, boss. I believe you have nothing to do with this murder. It's easy to solve, isn't it?

However, when we went to the hospital just now to check for injuries.The report produced by the hospital only showed some minor pore ruptures. I found it very difficult to rely on these to sue him.

You must know that the police system is a relatively closed place. They are very united internally. The best result is that I think Keane will only receive internal punishment. "

Claude felt even more irritated after hearing O'Neill's words of comfort.

"I don't want you to think, I want me to think, listen, let me ask you for the last time, do you really have no way to deal with that damn white pig? Even if it is a less reliable method?"

O'Neill thought for a while, spread his hands, and said helplessly:

"Oh boss, racism is not good. It's no use yelling at me. Sorry, I really can't do anything about it. I think it's better to forget it. There is no benefit in going against a government department like the police."

Looking at O'Neal who was still trying to dissuade him, Claude felt that he was too easy to get along with.Recalling that O'Neal had just saved him once, Claude decided to give him one last chance and gasped and asked:

"Listen, O'Neal. What if, and I mean if, I have a recording of when they interrogated me? You know, I'm a writer, and it's normal to carry a tape recorder with me."

O'Neill was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment and replied:

"Claude, recording privately is illegal, it cannot be treated as"

Obviously, this was not the answer Claude wanted to hear. He waved his hand impatiently and interrupted:

"Okay, you can go out. Let's deal with the murder case. I want to be alone."

Looking at the huge figure closing the door and leaving, Claude felt that it was time to change his lawyer.He didn't believe it. In this money-based capitalist society, as a multi-millionaire, he could still do nothing to a small detective.

He reached for the landline on the side and dialed the number of the investment consultant:

"It's me, Claude. Please come to Room 302 of the Champs Elysees Hotel. I have something to discuss with you."

The encounter at the police station taught Claude that "fighting alone" does not work in modern society.He no longer wanted his personal lawyer to find out about his arrest by watching TV.

If it had been just a few minutes later, he might have gone to see God.

The tragic story of people running out of money and not spending it all, just look at the excitement of others, and it must not happen to you.

Since this country sent Keane to prevent him from leaving, then Claude formed a team of his own and had a good time playing with him.

Two days later, Claude was still living in the hotel. O'Neill failed to live up to his last expectations and did not get rid of the entanglement of the murder case as perfectly as he said. Instead, this vicious case became more and more troublesome as the media fueled it. trend.

There is no doubt that O'Neal was fired.Aside from his size, he doesn't look anything like the big shark wreaking havoc in the NBA's restricted area.

Today, in his room at the Champs Elysées, Claude welcomed his new lawyers.Three lawyers from Jones Day, one of the top ten law firms in the world.

Comrade Chuan Jianguo is one of their many customers, and their annual cooperation fee of up to 200 million US dollars is a stepping stone for them to provide door-to-door services.

In the past two days, Claude used the auxiliary system to completely record all the conversations in the interrogation room into tapes.The tape has also been handed over to law firm Jones Day as evidence.

Of course, backing up a few more tapes is also a must.

Claude's idea of ​​using the recording as evidence was very naive. After this period of literacy education from the law firm's lawyers.Only then did he realize that electronic evidence such as audio recordings is easy to falsify, and courts usually do not accept it.

Moreover, generally speaking, evidence must have three properties: objectivity, relevance, and legality. However, this does not mean that some actions cannot be done on the recording.At least, the recording evidence can be used as auxiliary evidence to let the jury know who the "good guy" is.

Today is the day when Jones Day Law Firm takes out the plan and explains it to Claude.

"Mr. Claude, based on the information you provided and the information we have collected in the past two days, the situation we are currently facing is very optimistic.

Regarding the murder, we have enough witnesses to clear your suspicion, including several congressmen and the director of the nypd.Of course, although I think there is a high probability that the director of the nypd will refuse to appear in court. "

Robin Jackson grinned and continued with a smile:

"This case is the simplest lawsuit I have taken on since I left my internship. In the past few days, we have been in contact with the police department, and there is a high probability that they will withdraw the case. If the NYPD still wants to sue you, we have also collected Surveillance videos, they will be strong evidence. With these things, if the court agrees, even sending my grandma can win this case."

Claude didn't quite understand Gui Lao's humor, but he still smiled politely along with the lawyers.According to his understanding, this is probably Jones Day's mockery of his former personal lawyer. Perhaps this is what the world calls "enemies in the same profession."

After everyone here finished laughing, Jackson continued:

"On a slightly more troubling note, the NYPD found approximately over $300 million in cash in the safe in your apartment. They are now being used as evidence, and getting them back would take a lot of time and there is a huge risk. Chances are you’ll lose them.”

The United States has a practice of forcibly confiscating cash.Yes, that's the norm.If you go out with a bag of money or leave it at home, whether on foot or in a car, you will be stopped and searched by the police.

The police will confiscate your money regardless of whether you broke the law or whether the money was legal.They would seize the money permanently in the name of the police department's authority to take steps to prevent crime.

Everyone knows about confiscation. It is no different from the teacher confiscating your extracurricular books. The money is basically equivalent to going into the pocket of the police station.Even if the court approves your appeal and fines the police station to pay back the money, they will still reject your request on the grounds that the money has been put into the police station fund or has been paid to the police as wages.

How difficult it is to ask for money from a violent department like the police department.Just like you want to ask your teacher for unfinished extracurricular books without going through your parents.

Therefore, when going to the United States, you must not only beware of thieves and robbers, but also the police.Now that I think about it, Claude was really lucky when he dealt with the US dollars exchanged from the system mall.Well, now the feud with Sheriff Keen has deepened a lot.

"As for you wanting to charge Detective Keen, based on the tape you provided. We can charge him with racial discrimination, violent law enforcement and deliberate murder. As long as we do it properly, we have a high probability of sending him to prison and letting him Stay there for 20 years." Robin introduced to Claude confidently.

Claude nodded with satisfaction. Seeing what a professional lawyer is, it makes sense to ask for more money.Although they didn't know how they were going to kill Keane, they could at least give him a good "fantasy" and asked the three lawyers sitting opposite:

"What are your plans for this?"

Another golden-armored warrior named Snake, bah, is a lawyer. He smiled and said:

“Our law firm has a good relationship with various prosecutors’ offices, and we will try our best to arrange jury members that are favorable to us. For example, minorities, victims of violent law enforcement, etc.

Regarding the tapes, we made detailed plans, first of all. "

The eloquent plan exceeded tens of thousands of words, including some high-sounding professional terms, which made Claude's head hurt hearing it.Halfway through, his mind wandered to the acquisition of a mental hospital.

Claude has not forgotten the idea of ​​sending Keen to a mental hospital. In the past two days, he has begun to look for the acquisition of a mental hospital. After the acquisition, he wants to change it into Arkham Asylum.

You must know that there are many mental hospitals in the United States, which are far more terrifying than prisons. Anyway, isn't that how it is shown in most movies and TV works?After Inspector Keane enjoyed a "wonderful" trip to prison, Claude felt that the rest of his life would be better spent in a mental hospital.
