American Comics: When the Police Comes to Knock on the Door
Chapter 160 Witness
Looking at the pitiful Jessica, Richard couldn't help but feel heartbroken. He was actually using words to force Jessica. No matter what the purpose was, it was actually a selfish act. Richard hated doing such things to people important to him, but he didn't care about it now. He couldn't imagine how he would live in this world without Jessica.
"Jesse, I know you still have a knot in your heart, how about we each take a step back? I don't need you to do anything, as long as you don't plead guilty, as long as you don't take the initiative to take the blame on yourself, as long as you cooperate with Ma Murdoch, let’s slowly resolve other matters after we’re released from prison, okay?”
Richard took a step forward and held Jessica's face. He looked at Jessica affectionately. He knew Jessica very well. He knew what kind of expression would make Jessica's heart flutter. He knew what kind of tone. It would make Jessica soften. He is using his understanding of Jessica to break into Jessica's heart bit by bit.
At this moment, Richard was extremely selfish. Jessica made him abandon all his bottom lines and principles. He unethically used all his advantages to prevent Jessica from harming him.
This kind of selfishness, under the light of love, shines and makes people tremble.
Jessica knew Richard just as much as Richard knew Jessica. Jessica knew what Richard was doing, and Jessica knew why Richard was doing it. She looked into Richard's eyes, looked at Richard's face, looked at the man who fascinated her, made her peaceful, and filled her life with color.
The past and the recent haze collided, and various emotions came to mind, sweetness, shame, joy, regret, love, murderous intention, good, bad, her own, imposed on her by Kilgrave. , a variety of emotions mixed together. This complex, twisted emotion was like a torrent, directly defeating Jessica.
Jessica howled loudly, her tears and snot splashing everywhere, and she cried so hard that it was earth-shattering.
Richard held Jessica's head, and he made his chest and Jessica's cheek stick together.
"Cry, cry, you will feel better." Richard said hoarsely, raising his head to prevent the tears from falling in his eyes.
After a while, Jessica's mood stabilized, and she subconsciously wiped the tears and snot on her face with Richard's clothes, and then she pushed Richard away with a red face.
Richard wiped the corners of his eyes, took a deep breath and looked at Jessica with a smile.
"It's a good thing you don't put on makeup here, otherwise, your face would be very ugly."
Jessica took a deep breath, looked at Richard and said: "Rick, I, I don't have an answer yet. There are some things that I can't tell whether Kilgrave imposed on me or my own. I need time."
"Yes, but the time is not here. Jesse, if we have any problems, we can solve them after we go out. Hiding here is a wrong decision. Promise me to cooperate well with Lawyer Murdoch, okay?"
Jessica looked at Richard and nodded slightly, then she said: "I can go out, but you have to promise me to give me some time to think about it myself after I go out."
"Okay." Richard smiled. He smiled and walked towards Jessica and kissed her.
Jessica turned her head to avoid Richard's lips. She pushed Richard gently and said, "You go back first. It's been long enough. Don't make it difficult for the people in prison."
Richard let go of Jessica, and after a few more words with Jessica, Richard left the interrogation room. He looked at the smiling prison guard awkwardly.
"Thank you, I owe you this time, surveillance video."
The prison guard shook his head and said: "Don't worry, detective, I will take care of it and it will never spread. By the way, do you need me to open a family room for you?"
Richard coughed a few times and looked at the prison guard with a wry smile.
"Thank you. If you can come to me when you plan to change jobs in the future, I should be able to help." Then he turned around and walked silently towards the registration office.
After walking out of jail, Richard got into Fergie's car again.
"How's it going?" Matt asked.
"Jessica agreed to cooperate with your work, so what else do I need to do now?"
Fergie looked back at Richard and said: "Now, regarding Sister Jones' lawsuit, what we have to do is to prove that Sister Jones was indeed manipulated by Kilgrave, but this is actually not easy, because Kilgrave's Ability, it is difficult for us to find direct evidence.”
Richard didn't speak, and Fergie obviously didn't finish what he said. They must have found some evidence, otherwise Matt wouldn't have said that he was very confident of winning the lawsuit.
Seeing that Richard's expression did not change, Foggy continued with a grimace: "Detective, you don't give me any sense of accomplishment at all."
Richard exaggeratedly said: "Ah, Lawyer Nelson, what should we do?"
Fergie nodded with satisfaction and continued: "Very good, keep it up. Although we can't find physical evidence, we found witnesses during this period. As long as they appear in court to testify, with Matt's professional ability, we will definitely be able to convince jury."
"But" Richard asked, frowning.
Matt took over and said: "But now there is a problem. Although Sister Jones's agent Laura agreed to testify in court, because of the relationship between Laura and Sister Jones, only Laura is not enough. And besides Laura , we also found two other people who have been manipulated, one of whom has agreed to testify, but the other refuses to testify. I need you to help me convince her. The more witnesses, the greater my confidence."
"Then what are you waiting for? Take me there quickly."
Matt smiled and said, "Detective, your car is still parked on the side of the road."
"Uh, thank you. I almost forgot." Richard opened the car door and asked curiously before getting out of the car: "Lawyer Murdoch, I have always had a question. I don't know if I should answer it or not."
Matt turned his head in Richard's direction and said, "Detective, I know what you're going to ask. Yes, I am indeed blind."
Richard looked at the sunglasses on Matt's face in confusion. Everything about Matt gave Richard a weird feeling. It is true that Matt should be blind, but many of Matt's actions do not indicate that he is blind at all.
This is a strange blind lawyer.
Richard shook his head and closed the door. He got into his car. As Fergie started the car, Richard followed.
