Blackstone Code

Chapter 61: Step 1 of the sea of ​​stars

   "Now you have two choices..." Director Johnson stood in front of the bookcase in Michael's study and looked at the books that had been turned over. For the first time, he had some improvement in his impression of Michael.

   He thought Michael could not read, but it seems that many of the books here have been read.

He secretly sighed in his heart and turned to look at Michael, "The first choice, Michael robbed Lynch’s ring. You want Lynch to withdraw the lawsuit, so you planted and framed him, and tried to pass your way. , Let him withdraw the lawsuit and compromise."

   This is "Lynch's version." Lynch said that Michael was an attempted murder in the end. Director Johnson did not accept it. He knew very well that once the attempted murder was established, and with these previous statements, Michael might be suspected of first-degree murder.

   Although Lynch did not die in the end, in view of the current public uproar and the bad influence in the society, the jury will definitely find Michael guilty, and the judge will try his best to quell public grievances.

At that point, it is not a problem of three to five years of prison, but it is possible to sit through the prison for less than 10 to 20 years, and as many as 30 to 50 years. Knowing the law and breaking the law is always an excellent sentencing. No matter how much assistance is given, people won't feel much.

   Michael's breathing became thicker, he raised his head and stared at Director Johnson viciously, who ignored his expression and gaze.

   "This has nothing to do with my child. My child was also planted and framed by Lynch..."

   Director Johnson glanced back at him. No one can figure out what happened to Michael. He confessed his crimes and refused to communicate with Michael at the same time. No one knows the inside story.

   Maybe he was actually planted and framed by Lynch, as Michael said, but the judge would not think so.

"The second option is that you have a private enmity with Lynch. You feel that you don’t respect you too much, and it hurts your heart. So you have troubled him many times and wanted him to recognize the gap between you and him. And respect you."

   This is Director Johnson’s version. If you overemphasize the criminal behavior of Michael and his children, the society will worry about whether the lower-level law enforcement officers will have similar situations.

   It's better to downplay the crime, and use the conflict between two people as the benchmark, which is simply to worsen Michael's personal morality.

   Michael’s situation is in line with the second statement. You don’t even need to write a script later. Just ask the reporter to interview people who have been in contact with Michael or their colleagues to draw conclusions.

   Michael’s personal image will become more specific and worse in society, but the advantage is that the Sabine City Taxation Bureau got rid of the whole thing, and the law enforcement issue has also gotten rid of it.

   Michael pulled his hair. He closed his mouth tightly. His lips lost their blood color from the squeezing of the upper and lower jaws. His eyes were hurt and there was some despair. He also knew he had to choose one.

   Not the first one, it will expose his son to the media. People will not only accuse him, but also his son. Even his wife and family will not hide from the public's attention.

   can only choose the second one...

When Michael made a choice, Director Johnson felt a little unspeakable in his heart. He even joked with Michael before leaving that they didn’t need to "confess". As long as Michael performed in his own way, people believed that this choice was the truth. .

   These things seem cruel, let a person choose how to bear one of the most terrible things in the world, but this is also no way.

Because the next efforts from various parties to reverse public opinion require the cooperation of Michael and Lynch. Without those journalists with "professional ethics" to "dig out" more "insiders" from them, the truth would not appear to people. In front of him.

It seems that the reporter has given more credit, but it is actually the work of Michael and Lynch that is more important. With the emergence of various inside stories, they will appear in front of the media and be scrutinized by the public, so their cooperation with each other is very important. .

After solving these things, Director Johnson seems to have calmed his guilt to Michael. He saved Michael from the Lynch version. Not to mention, he will take care of Michael's family in the next time until He came out of prison.

   Without him, the family would be shattered. He has done all that a boss should do, much more.

   The next day, Joe Griman called Lynch and expressed his willingness to talk to him about the small business between them, and Lynch naturally went to the appointment with pleasure.

Ten percent of two million, and five percent of the expected return. This is a business worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. There is not much danger in themselves. Many people think this is a chaotic era. But Lin Qi felt that this was the golden age!

   In the morning, the two met in a private club. It seemed that the meeting that required a certain degree of privacy should not be exposed to the public.

   Many people in this society have a "terrible" perception. They think that upper-class figures do not need entertainment or entertainment. They are always working, socializing, and maybe socializing is their entertainment time.

   In fact, this is a kind of misunderstanding. You can’t think that they don’t have entertainment because they don’t see them entertaining. Ghosts know how entertaining they are in places that people cannot see!

At around nine o’clock, Lynch carrying a suitcase appeared on a secluded and secluded street outside the central city. There were not many pedestrians on the whole street. According to the address given to him by Joe Griman, he came to the door shop. In front of the door with a square-sized red carpet.

   From the appearance, it is not much different from most houses on this street, including three steps at the entrance, a handrail that is so short that it is barely needed, and an old-fashioned wooden door.

  Its wooden door may be wider than other people's homes, but it is also limited to this. There is no signboard, no name, and everything is plain so that passers-by cannot pay attention to it.

Lynch checked the address again and again, pushed the door and walked in. After entering the door is the door of two elevator cars, and there is a small workshop with a fence. Inside sits a man dressed in formal wear and glasses, like a housekeeper. The same guy.

  The environment here is like the first floor of most apartments. Lynch walked to the counter with a strange experience, "Mr. Joe Griman asked me to meet here..."

   The guy who looked like a housekeeper immediately started to flip through the notebook in front of him~lightnovelpub.net~Can you ask me your name, sir? "

   "Lynch!"

The man looked at Lynch calmly. After confirming that it was correct, he removed a key from the wall full of keys behind him, and put it together with a small palm-sized card on a tray of red flannel. Inside, held up his hands and handed it over.

   "Mr. Lynch..." After Lynch took these things, he leaned slightly, "Is there anything else I can do for you?"

   Lynch glanced at him, shook his head, and walked to the elevator.

  After entering the elevator, he discovered that the original card was a kind of key to the elevator floor. There were some small holes at one end of the card. Only after inserting the card into the card slot can the corresponding floor be lit.

   After the almost imperceptible lift, the elevator car door slowly opened. After stepping out of the elevator, everything in your eyes suddenly became extremely luxurious!

   Various gilded decorations, big red carpets, various exquisite tapestries, and oil paintings that appear on the walls every distance. Lynch does not know how to appreciate oil paintings, but some of them are indeed very good.

   There is a faint scent in the air that he has never experienced before. It is calm and inactive, but it gives a sense of solemnity.

  The distance between each door is very far, which also means that the house is much larger than its appearance.

   Not long after, Lynch came to the door corresponding to his key number. The door was inlaid with gems of various colors, half of which were made of metal. Just standing in front of the door, the heavy feeling came to his face.

   He inserted the key into the keyhole and twisted it lightly. With the sound of the machine spring after the gears turned, the door was pushed open by him with an unimaginable ease.
