Richard walked out of the court. Based on his professional immunity, the descriptions of multiple eyewitnesses and the video materials at the scene, the court found that although Richard was guilty of procedural impropriety in the Hell's Kitchen bombing, he was not responsible for the incident. There was no dereliction of duty or illegal behavior during the handling process.

Richard was eventually sentenced to a fine of more than $4000 and to perform voluntary labor in the Hell's Kitchen community at eight o'clock.

Lawyers and representatives from the police union objected to the verdict, but Richard was not prepared to pursue an appeal. Legally speaking, he may not be at fault, but he knows exactly what he did.

The salesperson of the sex toy store eventually died on the way to the hospital, and many pedestrians near the explosion site were injured to varying degrees. All of this was actually inseparable from Richard. Receiving a certain punishment will make Richard feel better.

"Mr. Lang, do you have any different opinions on the court's decision?"

"Mr. Lang, do you have anything to say to the victims of the explosion?"

"Mr. Lang, do you have anything to say about Jessica Jones, the other superhero involved in the case?"

"Mr. Lang, it is said that Sister Jones still did not give any defense testimony after her arrest. I would like to ask why this is because she has already confessed."

"Mr. Lang, President Roosevelt supported you at the press conference this morning. Can I interpret this as YD's internal protection mechanism and external pressure?"

Lawyers and several police officers protected Richard. Richard completely ignored the reporters surrounding him and walked toward the police car in the distance without saying a word.

"You'd better say something to them and just deal with it for a while. Otherwise, you will be troubled later." The lawyer said to Richard.

Richard sighed. He was not in the mood to deal with these reporters now, but he still had things to be busy with later, and he couldn't be pestered by these reporters.

Richard stopped and pushed the microphone away from his mouth.

"Quietly" watching the surroundings gradually quieten down, Richard continued: "Just like what I said in the court, I am sorry to the victims and all those who were hurt or lost in this explosion. But that was all I could do at the time. Setting off the bomb was not my purpose, my purpose was to stop Kilgrave, the demon who could manipulate others. Jessica was innocent, she was just manipulated by that demon, and I I believe that the court and the people of New York will eventually clear her name. The above is what I want to say, thank you."

After finishing speaking, Richard continued walking towards the police car.

"Mr. Lang"

The reporters around him began to ask more crazy questions and crowd in. The police officers and lawyers were squeezed hard, but Richard still relied on his physical fitness that was far beyond ordinary people to continue moving forward among the crowd.

Finally, Richard and the lawyer got into the police car.

"Hi Rick, everything goes well"

"Well, it went very well. William, please excuse me."

"It's okay, where are we going now?"

"Send me home first."

William turned around and slowly started the police car, while Richard tilted his head and looked at the lawyer and said, "I answered those reporters, but I didn't notice that the trouble had changed."

"Believe me, even if they want to eat you now, these people will not trouble you again in the future."

"Okay, thank you for your help earlier."

"It's not easy to find a case like this that is both famous and guaranteed to win. It's my turn to thank you, and to be able to win the favor of a rising star in YD, no matter how you look at it, I have earned it."

Richard smiled bitterly and shook his head without replying. Richard knew the lawyer was talking bullshit.

This was a case for a man who was already well-known, and there was no need to personally take on cases like Richard's. Although the lawyer didn't say it clearly, Richard knew that behind all of this, it was because of Emma, ​​and only people like Emma Frost could make a magistrate maintain such an attitude towards Richard.

After dropping the lawyer off, William sent Richard back to the apartment.

After saying goodbye to William, Richard entered the apartment. When he opened the door, Emma also opened the door.

"Hi Rick. Everything's going okay" Emma asked with a smile.

"Uh, hi, everything goes well Emma." Richard greeted awkwardly.

"Well, then I won't disturb you." Emma said and closed the door.

"and many more"

Emma tilted her head and looked at Richard, she was waiting for Richard's next words.

Richard hesitated and then said: "Emma, ​​thank you. I know you helped find the lawyer. Can you please trouble that lawyer to take over Jessica's case?"

Richard's face and neck were red. He knew that he had made a very excessive request, but for Jessica's sake, he couldn't help but say it.

Emma chuckled lightly, she let go of the hand holding the door, walked barefoot in front of Richard, she looked up into Richard's eyes.

"Rick, I'm glad you imagined me as a selfless and kind person, but in reality, I'm not. I'm a woman, I like you, and Jessica is definitely the rock between us. Although the wall is shameless, it is indeed an opportunity for me now. I can not make trouble for Jessica because I care about your feelings, but you are asking me to help Jessica now, which I can't do. " As she spoke, Emma stretched out her right hand to caress Richard's cheek.

Richard avoided Emma's gaze and pushed Emma's hand away.

"Emma, ​​me"

Emma suddenly stretched out her left hand and covered Richard's mouth.

"Stop talking and give me a little hope, okay?"

Emma's voice was soft, but her emotions went straight to Richard's heart. The aura of opening one's hard shell and showing oneself unreservedly made Richard's heart tremble.

Richard looked into Emma's eyes. What Emma's eyes conveyed made it impossible for Richard to continue the topic. After he coughed dryly, he leaned back to avoid Emma's hand. He sighed and Wordlessly, he turned around and entered the room.

Just when Richard was about to close the door, Emma's voice came again.

"Don't worry, Jessica's current lawyer was hired by Tony Stark. Although he is not well-known, he is a very powerful character."

Richard glanced at Emma in surprise, then he nodded to Emma and closed the door.

Richard walked into the living room. He looked at the house that was no different from the past and suddenly felt a burst of heartache. The loneliness that had not appeared for a long time suddenly hit his heart. He didn't know why. Jessica and he had not lived together for a long time. Before that, he had always lived alone, but he had never felt this way at that time.

Jessica's attitude during this incident gave Richard a bad feeling.

Richard held his head and took a deep breath. Now is not the time to be sentimental. He needs to see Jessica and have a good talk with her.
