Blackstone Code

"I want to talk to him alone." Senator Langdon stood outside the door of the detention room and glanced at the assistant director beside him.

The latter explained bravely, "This is against the rules."

Judging from the current situation, it has been locked, and this boy is the criminal.

But as long as the judge does not drop the hammer for a day, he is just a "suspect" at all.

According to current federal law, as a key suspect, he cannot have alone contact with people other than the handling personnel before being released on bail.

If contact is necessary, there must be an organizer on site, and there may be recording.

But it was obvious that Senator Langdon did not want anyone to accompany him inside. The father and son wanted to be alone.

Senator Langdon ran a hand through his hair and smoothed it back.

He comes in smart at night and has all the wax rinsed out, so his hair will be a little loose.

Such a simple touch, although it can't make his hair return to its meticulous state in the morning, at least it looks a little tidier.

But his face now looks a little haggard, "This is a father's request. I promise not to talk about anything that shouldn't be said. I just want to talk to him about why these things happened..."

"I owe you a favor."

The Assistant Director proved through his own actions that federal laws are still very humane.

He nodded and glanced at the policeman in charge of supervising the young man in the detention room. The policeman received the command from his eyes and left the detention room.

Only young people were left in the entire detention room.

Senator Langdon patted the Assistant Director on the arm and said, "Thank you!"

After saying that, he got into the room and closed the door.

He walked over to the table fixed to the floor and sat on the metal chair.

He wanted to move forward, but found that the chair was also welded to the ground.

He looked at his son who was sitting across from him with a somewhat... indifferent attitude, and countless flames were burning in his heart.

But he got it under control.

"Do you know that Bu Payne did not sign the... Act?"

The bill he is talking about refers to the bill to abolish the death penalty. However, this bill was not passed in Congress, but it was passed in some areas.

Bupen belongs to the area that failed. In other words, as long as the crime in Bupen reaches the standard, the judge will give them a bullet as the final trial.

"So what?" The young man still had an indifferent attitude. He looked at Senator Langdon, his father.

"Do you want to scare me, or do you want me to apologize?"

Senator Langdon took off his glasses. He pinched the bridge of his nose and closed his eyes.

"I'm very busy with work and entertainment, and we rarely talk about your life. I thought everything would be on the right track when you go to college, but it seems I was wrong..."

The young man suddenly burst into laughter. He clenched his fists and punched the metal table hard.

There was a loud bang in the detention room. The assistant director at the door glanced nervously through the window and breathed a sigh of relief.

Even if there is a soundproof door, the shouts of the young people cannot be blocked.

"Don't educate me with your condescending look, you make me feel sick!"

Senator Langdon looked at his son in shock. This was the first time he knew that his son viewed him this way.

He was a little confused. His identity and status as a father made him subconsciously correct his son's mistakes, "You shouldn't say that, I am your father."

The young man interrupted him again, "When you decided to abandon your mother, you were no longer the same person you were before!"

"I hate your condescending attitude, I hate all the preaching you give me, I hate your self-righteous and ugly appearance, you are not fucking likable at all!"

"Stay out of my business!"

Although Senator Langdon and his wife were not divorced, they had long since separated.

Since he came to Bupen and became a Congressman, he has had a lot of social activities, which also brought him into contact with all kinds of beauties that he had never come into contact with before.

His wife is not from Sabine City, but from another small city in York State. In the words of the Bupen people, it is a country place!

She does not have a high level of education and cannot say anything amazing or philosophical.

Nor was he elegant enough to bring out Senator Langdon's status in some social situations.

She was just a regular country woman, and that didn't matter when Senator Langdon was Mayor Langdon.

But as his status gets higher and higher, the women around him are so... vulgar.

This made it impossible for him to take his wife to participate in some social occasions, and the most indispensable thing in the fame and fortune market was the temptation of a young body, so he naturally cheated.

The secretary in his personal team now maintains a long-term underground affair with him, and it is said that they even bought a house outside.

But Senator Langdon was very enterprising and never stayed out overnight, so even if he did do something with his secretary in another house.

As long as reporters didn't take photos of him in bed, he could use "work needs" as an excuse for why he was there.

In addition, he always spends the night at home, and indeed no one troubles him in this regard.

There is no divorce because he is still a politician after all.

He hopes that his son can become a person like himself and inherit the power and status in his hands.

Although they usually don't have time to have close contact, he also has requirements for his children.

It's just that he never realized that this child viewed himself like this.

Looking at the excited young man, Senator Langdon put his glasses back on.

"I'm sorry for causing you so much trouble over the years. You should have told me earlier..."

He paused for a while as he spoke, as if he was preparing something.

"If you were not my son, I would not come over at this time to see what you did. Even if you don't admit it, the law will not deny our relationship."

"The only thing I want to tell you is that if you refuse my help, I can leave."

"And you won't survive this summer. I don't mean to joke with you, even because..."

Before he finished speaking, the assistant director knocked on the door, then opened the door and poked his head in.

"Sorry, Congressman, Mr. Lynch's phone number..."

Senator Langdon was stunned for a moment, glanced at his son again, and then stood up, "I understand."

As he was about to leave the room, his son shouted loudly, "Look, you will always have only your power in your eyes!"

"You have never truly cared about us, you are so hypocritical that it makes people sick!"

Senator Langdon paused, then shook his head and left.

There are always times when young people's minds are not good, and he was also young.

He walked to the assistant director's office and answered the phone.

In fact, after the identity of Senator Langdon's son was revealed, the FBI director called Lynch.

There is a competitive relationship between the FBI and the local police department, especially in vicious criminal cases, so the basic information about the murder appeared within the Bureau of Investigation as soon as possible.

Because of the special identity of the murderer, the detectives who showed up at the scene asked if intervention was needed.

The Director-General knew that Senator Langdon was Lynch's man, so he had someone call Lynch and tell him the situation.

Lynch was almost about to rest, and this phone call surprised him, so he called Senator Langdon.

"I heard that your son killed someone?"

Lynch's voice is always very stable. Just listening to his voice, you can imagine what he looks like at this time.

This is also an ability. Lynch continues to deepen his impression in the minds of others, which is special and important.

Senator Langdon glanced at the window. He walked over and closed the blinds before saying in agreement, "This is really bad news."

"It's indeed not good. What are you going to do?" Lynch asked again.

Senator Langdon opened his mouth and uttered a meaningless syllable before continuing.

Lynch spoke again, "Are you going to help him get out of jail?"

Senator Langdon did not answer, and responded with silence. He also used silence to tell Lynch that he did have this idea.

Lynch's chuckle came from the receiver, "This thing can't be suppressed, the deceased will make trouble, and you will be too passive if you step forward."

"There are many reporters now who may be planning to, or have already moved towards you. If you exonerate him, have you considered the consequences?"

There is no doubt that a member of the Senate is capable of exonerating his son, even for murder.

But what are the consequences of doing so?

There is no doubt that the comprehensive questioning in society will completely destroy his political life.

The people will not allow such a politician to be active on the highest federal political stage, and even Lynch will not continue to support him to avoid being considered by the public as one of the masterminds behind "manipulating the law."

The people at the bottom of the federation are like ants with no impression. But if the ants gather too much, a qualitative change will occur.

If Senator Landon reached out, his political career would be over, and he obviously realized this.

but……

"I only have one son, Lynch!" He pursed his lips, "I can't watch him die."

Senator Langdon, who was slightly agitated, walked back and forth, his hair swaying randomly as he walked, looking embarrassed and haggard.

Lynch's voice still didn't change much, "You can definitely have a few more. To be honest, he's finished. If you want something to be passed down, you obviously need a better choice."

"People are not going to vote for a former murderer, you know what I mean."

"As for the rest, leaving it to the law is the best decision."

"If he does kill someone and he is at fault, he must face the consequences of his actions instead of dragging more people into the water."

"If he doesn't have too many faults, I believe the law will give him a fair result."

"What do you think?"
