Blackstone Code

The two policemen stood at the door of the room and looked at each other, and the policeman who was recording some information put away his notebook and pen, "There is good news, we have caught the guy who took your things, but you also need to go Identify, do you understand what I mean?"

He did not say keywords such as "steal" and "burglary", but used it. He was weakening Lynch's question about the nature of the case and at the same time exerting pressure on the other party.

Not everyone has the guts to go to the scene to identify criminals. Statistics were made last year. About 61.94% of witnesses were unwilling to identify criminals, and more than 77.53% of witnesses unwilling to testify in court.

This has already explained a lot of problems. It can be seen as the evil result of the poor public security of Baylor Federation, and it can also be seen as the reason why the criminal forces are still rampant.

In short, it is undoubtedly a way to increase the pressure on witnesses by asking people to testify against criminals, but they found the wrong person, and Lynch immediately changed his clothes, "What are you waiting for?"

The two policemen couldn't figure out what was going on with Lynch, but they did hope that the matter could be resolved "satisfactorily".

On the way to the police station, the officer in the passenger seat talked about the "criminal" they had captured.

"That was a young man of sixteen or seventeen who was going to school. He didn't admit that he had done these things, and we really didn't have enough evidence to completely nail him down..."

This sentence is right or wrong, it is completely treating Lynch as a layman. In the police station, as long as they believe that someone is a criminal and if necessary, they can crucify the criminal with a little manipulation of the evidence. Obviously This time it was not their plan.

The policeman glanced back at Lynch sideways, "I think that little guy should be given a chance, this case with insufficient evidence may ruin his future life."

He paused as he spoke, "You have not been harmed, and your losses are limited. If he is willing to compensate you, I think you can talk about it."

After saying these words, the policeman turned around, and he had said what he had to say. As for the outcome, it was not for him, a frontline policeman, to decide.

For the two policemen in the car, it doesn't really matter how Lynch chooses them. Anyway, if the sky falls, they won't be able to fall on their heads. They just try their best to fulfill the orders of their superiors.

During the next driving process, they did not say anything to Lynch until the car stopped in the police station.

"Have you thought about it, young man?" A policeman led him to the office building of the police station and pushed open the door of the hall for him.

Lynch nodded calmly, "Maybe I should really talk to him."

"Smart choice!", the policeman patted him on the shoulder, and led him to the interrogation room on the side, with some relaxed smiles on his face, and whispered, "You can open your mouth like a lion from him Torn off a piece of flesh, he's a rich bastard, at least richer than us, you know what I mean?"

Lynch nodded, the policeman pursed his lips in satisfaction, he stood outside the door of the interrogation room and opened the door, and whispered again, "We turned off the recording system, remember to knock on the door when you come out, I will Waiting for you outside the door!"

There are too few such good people, Lynch nodded vigorously and walked into the room.

In fact, at this point, the entire police station process has been completely screwed up. The victim and the perpetrator, or the plaintiff and the defendant, cannot meet before going to court, but some things are like this.

Rules are rules, reality is reality.

There was only one table and four chairs in the interrogation room, and these things were fixed to the ground. Little Michael sat downcastly on one side of the table.

The arrival of Lynch made him unable to help but look up at Lynch. He didn't understand why the ring in his father's drawer turned out to be a stolen item. While he was relieved, he raised his heart again.

This ring is not evidence of Michael's betrayal of the family, but it has a problematic origin, which means that his father may be involved in a crime. There is a struggle and pain in his heart... he can't express it. He doesn't know how to Do it, and at the same time feel that it is not easy for Michael.

The police also talked with him, and they will call the caller. If he can persuade the caller to withdraw the case, then he can leave directly after paying the bail.

This matter will not become a stain on his file. After the case was dismissed, he did not commit another crime within a certain period of time. All the information will be completely put into another information bag, and ordinary people will never see it.

Little Michael opened his mouth when he saw Lynch and closed it again, he didn't know how to speak.

Children of this age tend to have a very sharp view of right and wrong, he treats Lynch as a "victim", he suddenly finds himself dirty because he is trying to destroy justice like some people he doesn't like and fair.

The feeling of shame made him unable to speak, so he could only keep his head down and keep silent, he was waiting for Lynch to propose conditions.

No matter what kind of conditions Lynch puts forward, as long as they are not too excessive, he will agree to them. This is actually not his crime, but he really wants to atone for his father.

He didn't know why Michael would burglarize and take away Lynch's ring, but it happened, and it was pointless to dwell on it. All he needed to do was to give Lynch enough compensation and protect his father.

It's just... Sometimes young people don't want to admit that they are young, and they will eventually be slapped in the face by reality.

After Lynch sat down, he paused for a moment, "I didn't come to talk to you about how much you can spend to solve this..." Little Michael raised his head in surprise, and Lynch continued, "Don't I thought you could influence the justice of the judiciary with a few filthy money, even if the lawsuit is brought to the state court, I will not compromise!"

Lynch's statement made Little Michael realize that things didn't develop as he thought just now, so calling a slut is hypocritical. A second ago, he was caught in a sense of self-shaming of moral depravity and couldn't extricate himself. Shocked by Lynch's unwillingness to compromise, his calves began to tremble!

Before he had time to open his mouth, Lynch continued, "Everyone must be responsible for their actions, whether you are a student or someone else, even if you are a government official, you must accept justice."

"The court, the judge, and the public will give you a fair trial. No matter how high you stand, when the judge's gavel falls, you will be pulled down. The higher you stand, the more painful it will be for you to fall. .”

Little Michael's face began to sweat. In fact, he didn't completely put himself into the role of the criminal suspect, but put his father, Michael into it.

This made him have a struggle, entanglement and pain that he couldn't describe. He could already imagine what happened when Michael appeared in the dock of the court and was found guilty. The family was over in an instant.

"Is there... no room for negotiation?" His voice was full of bitterness and a hint of expectation.

Lynch shook his head, "If I broke into your house and took away your most important things, then threw a wad of banknotes on your face and told you to forget about it, would you be willing?"

Little Michael stopped talking, his mood was very depressed, Lynch ticked his mouth slightly, and then stood up.

"I'm here, just to tell you my attitude, there is no compromise at all, I don't want your stinky money, and you don't look down on others!" He stood up and walked to the door and knocked on the door. leave.

Soon the police also came in. He pinched his waist and looked at the depressed little Michael, and asked in a daze, "Have you reached an agreement?"

Little Michael sighed heavily. He knew very well that his current life, family, and social status all came from Michael's work.

Once Michael is reported and sentenced, even if he does not go to jail, his job is over.

The IRS wouldn't want a tainted man in management, and once Michael lost his job, the family would move out of the middle-class neighborhood and live downtown.

The future will be shrouded in gloom. Only by keeping Michael's job can the family not have too many problems.

Even Michael Jr. imagined that by then Michael would have a way to fish him out, give him a new identity, and let him start over elsewhere.

Rather than implicating Michael, Little Michael made a decision. He took a deep breath, looked up at the police, "I plead guilty, I admit that I burglary..."

Lynch, who was standing outside the police station at this time, glanced back at the solemn police station, with a slight smile on his face.

He will entrust someone to take good care of little Michael in prison, just like Michael threatened him.

Little Michael would be everyone's favorite and have plenty of boyfriends!
