After reading the "Trade News" for a while, Lynch picked up the local newspaper again. Most of the things learned in the Trade News were a macroscopic change, which did not have much effect on the current Lynch.

　　 On the contrary, some local newspapers can provide him with some important information, so that he can understand some local changes more quickly.

　　 For example, a few more factories closed down, and a large number of unemployed workers flooded the streets, making the otherwise unsafe public security environment even more unsafe.

　　 For example, a male cat in a family was actually pregnant, and his stomach was swollen, and it looked like he was about to give birth. The owner of the cat reportedly hired a special nurse to take care of the male cat.

For example, the milkman on the farm said that he was kidnapped by aliens. The aliens snatched a bunch of his leg hair and released him back. He also drew the alien spaceship with the help of the painter. Looks like an alien.

And..., Lynch glanced at the catalog and turned to the Chinese version of the local news newspaper. There was a small piece of news on it. The news said that Michael, the former head of the investigation team of the tax bureau who had been transferred to prisons in other regions not long ago, admitted that he had demanded himself. Of children assume some responsibilities for themselves in order to evade legal sanctions.

　　 Now he realized his fault, surrendered to the prison staff, and the court sentenced it yesterday.

Little Michael was acquitted, but Michael’s sentence was increased by forty months, three years and four months, plus the previous sentence, even if Director Johnson wanted to use the "Special Talent Requisition Regulations" to get Michael out , I am afraid there is no chance.

　　 After seven years, Chief Johnson didn't know where he went. Maybe he was able to do so. For example, he was promoted to the state office as a consultant.

　　 But it is also possible that he is incapable of doing this. We all know that the warehouse clerk can't activate such regulations at all, even if he is promoted to the State Office of the Inland Revenue Department.

　　 This is a "sale" that I don't know if I should say it is cost-effective or not.

Maybe it has different values ​​in the eyes of different people. For example, in the eyes of the Michaels and his wife, at least this deal is a good deal. Little Michael came out of prison a few months in advance, and he also got "nothing." Such an important sentence as "guilt".

　　The state court referred to some specific actual situations and held that if Michael asks little Michael to do something, the two parties are father and son, and at the same time they are in a master-slave relationship. It is difficult for little Michael to refuse.

　　 plus Michael’s age, so the charges of concealment and perjury were not convicted. The judge of the state court very humanely gave Michael a final verdict of “not guilty”.

　　 This also means that the stains of life that originally fell on Michael's dossier have been completely wiped out because of this sentence and Michael's additional three-year sentence.

　　 Some changes have taken place in his life trajectory.

　　 Just when Lynch curled his lips to express his indignation at Michael's experience and a certain degree of sympathy based on humanitarianism, the doorbell rang.

　　 Lynch put down the newspaper, wiped his mouth with a hand towel, got up and walked to the living room. After the maid simply tidied up the things on the table, he was busy opening the door for Lynch again.

　　 A good job this year is very rare, not to mention a job that only requires cleaning.

As long as Lynch is not at home, she will usually lie on the sofa and watch TV to pass the time. She still has a good salary every month. She cares about the job very much. This is why she wants to talk to Lynch in private. She hopes to stay here longer.

　　 The door of the house was quickly opened. Director Johnson, who was standing outside, was taken aback when he saw the maid’s dress, and quickly turned his eyes away.

　　Ghost knows if these people have some unspeakable hobbies. If Lynch is annoyed by looking a few more times, or some accident happens, he really has a mouthful.

　　 After a simple question, the maid led Director Johnson to the living room, and then took the initiative to leave.

　　 "I saw you in the newspaper just now." Lynch shook hands with Director Johnson and sat back. He cocked his legs and looked at Director Johnson with a smile, "What can I do for you?"

　　 seems to be a normal attitude, but Director Johnson felt a temperament hidden by these things on the surface of Lynch, a kind of unspeakable thing, lonely?

　　 Maybe it is, but also a little bit like arrogance, not very easy to describe.

　　 What he said, his expression was just to perfuse himself, Director Johnson was very sure of this.

　　 He didn’t care about Lynch’s performances, instead he asked a little strangely, “Am I in the newspaper?”

　　 According to unwritten rules, the leaders of a certain authority in a region will not voluntarily appear in front of the media and the public without the consent of the other party.

　　 is to maintain and protect their mystery on the one hand, and to prevent them from causing trouble on the other hand.

There are always many lunatics in this world. They never consider whether what they do is in compliance with the rules. They only do what they want to do, including harassing people who are hurting them in their opinion, even if This is not the case.

　　 Lynch nodded, "I saw Michael's sentence increased..."

　　 When he heard this, Director Johnson scratched his head and said with a wry smile, "I know I can't hide it from you. I did it. This has something to do with my intention."

　　 Lynch nodded slightly, realizing that he continued to speak, and at the same time he realized the purpose of Director Johnson's coming here.

　　 But he won't take the initiative to say it. Some things he said by himself may be more valuable, but sometimes he said it by himself, but it won't be very effective.

　　 Michael is serving his sentence, and little Michael is also exclusive in prison. Michael's wife may not know how to face the sudden change in life until now. No one in this family has the ability to change the status quo.

　　 What can be changed, there is also the right to change this way, there is only one person left, and that is Michael's old boss, Director Johnson.

　　 Lynch would not suspect that Michael's colleagues did it. No matter what the circumstances were, those people stepped on Michael's foot. They wouldn't let themselves have any connection with Michael, only Johnson was different.

　　 This is a good old man, sometimes it is hard to tell whether he is right or wrong if he is too kind.

After hesitating for a while, Director Johnson sighed helplessly, "I saw Michael two days ago and he said that this is the end of the matter, and at the same time he regrets the things he did to you before. And let me convey his apologies to you, I hope you can forgive him..." Lynch nodded and said that he knew it, but judging from the unchanged expression on his face, it seemed that he didn't care much about Michael's statement. .

　　Think about it, ten years later, a prisoner who has just been released from jail, a big man who may have been more successful ~lightnovelpub.net~has no chance of getting involved with each other for a long time, why should he care?

But some things still need to be resolved. Director Johnson bit the bullet and continued, "This matter... we have spent a lot of money. After Michael comes back, he will be transferred to another school to study again, plus some other expenses... …"

　　 Director Johnson subconsciously rubbed his palms crampedly. To be honest, he may not be a good person, but he has almost never broken the law, let alone doing something proactively like today.

Hearing this, Lynch realized that it was almost done. He first expressed his attitude, "There is nothing good for Michael and me, and there is no friendship, even if his wife and children have to go to the roadside to beg. They deserve it."

　　 "But...", his words turned, "I and you are good friends. I am willing to help you when you have difficulties. This is not because of Michael's nonsense, but because of you, Chief Johnson."

　　 Lynch’s words made him a little angry, some sighed, but some inexplicable pride?

　　 In fact, when a person's value is affirmed by others, and when a higher affirmation is given, they will be happy about it.

　　 "I don't know..." Director Johnson was a little dazed.

Lynch took out the transfer checkbook, wrote a number and handed it over, "From your perspective, in a humanitarian spirit, I am willing to help this poor family, but I need someone to supervise the money. Use it and give it to them in batches. Do you have time to do this, Chief Johnson?"

　　 With a tear, Lynch tore the check from the checkbook and held it in his hand. He was waiting for the answer from the other party.
