Blackstone Code

"Now you have two choices..." Director Johnson stood in front of the bookcase in Michael's study, looking at these books that had been turned over to some extent, and for the first time his impression of Michael improved.

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

He sighed inwardly, turned around and looked at Michael, "The first choice, little Michael burglarized and took Lynch's ring. You want Lynch to withdraw the lawsuit, so you 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 homicide in the end, but Director Johnson did not accept it. He knew very well that once the attempted homicide was established, coupled with the previous statements, Michael may be suspected of first-degree murder.

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

At that point, it is no longer a matter of three to five years of imprisonment, but the possibility of sitting in prison for at least a decade or two, and at most thirty or fifty years. Knowing the law and breaking the law is always an excellent sentencing Support, no matter how much is given, people will not feel too much.

Michael's breathing became heavy, and he raised his head and glared fiercely at Director Johnson, who ignored his expression and gaze.

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

Director Johnson glanced back at him. No one can figure out what happened to Little Michael until now. He confessed to his crime and refused to communicate with Michael at the same time. No one knows what kind of inside story there is.

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

"The second option is that you have a personal feud with Lynch. You feel that you are too disrespectful, which hurts your heart, so you have troubled him many times, trying to make him realize the gap between you and him. And respect you."

This is Chief Johnson's version, and if there is too much emphasis on the criminal behavior of Michael and his children, it will make society worry about whether the low-level law enforcement officers will have a similar situation.

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

Michael's situation is very consistent with the second statement, and we don't even need to write the script later, as long as the reporter interviews people who have had contact with Michael, or their colleagues can draw conclusions.

Michael's profile in society would become more concrete and more egregious, but the upside would be that the Sabine tax office would be out of the whole thing, and the law enforcement issue would be out.

Michael pulled his hair, his mouth was tightly closed, his lips lost their color due to the forceful squeezing of his upper and lower jaws, his eyes were hurt, and there was some despair, and he knew very well that he had to choose one.

The first one will not work, it will expose his son to the media, people will not only blame him, but also his son, and even his wife and family cannot hide from the eyes of the public.

I can only choose the second one...

When Michael made a choice, Director Johnson felt a little unspeakable. Before he left, he even joked with Michael that they didn’t need to “collude confessions.” As long as Michael performed in his true colors, 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 there is no way to do it.

Because all efforts to change public opinion in the future require the cooperation of Michael and Lynch. Without those journalists with "professional ethics" who "dig out" more "insider stories" from them, the truth will not appear in the public eye. in front of the eyes.

It seems that the reporter has contributed more, but in fact, the work of Michael and Lynch is more important. With the emergence of various inside stories, they will appear in front of the media to accept the scrutiny of the public, so their cooperation is very important .

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

This family would be in pieces without him, and he's everything a boss should be and a lot 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 agreed to the appointment.

Ten percent of the two million, and five percent of the expected profit, this is a business worth hundreds of thousands, and I am not in much danger. Many people will think that this is a chaotic era, but Lin Qi felt that this was the golden age!

In the morning, the two made an appointment to meet in a private club. It seems that the meeting that requires a certain amount of passion is best not to be exposed to the public.

In this society, many people have a "terrible" cognition. They think that high-class characters don't need entertainment or entertainment. They are always working, socializing, and maybe socializing is their entertainment time.

In fact, this is a kind of cognitive bias. Just because people don’t see them entertaining, you can’t think that they don’t have an entertaining life. Who knows how entertaining they are in places where people can’t see them!

At around nine o'clock, Lynch appeared on a secluded street outside the central city with a suitcase. There were not many pedestrians on the entire street. According to the address given to him by Joe Griman, he came to a shop at the door. In front of the door is a red carpet the size of one square.

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

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

Lynch double-checked the address, pushed the door open, and entered the door, which was the door of two elevator cars, and a small workshop with a fence, in which sat a man wearing formal clothes and glasses, who looked like a housekeeper 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 flipping through the notebook in front of him, "May I ask your name, sir?"

"Lynch!"

The man looked at Lynch calmly, and after confirming that it was correct, he took a key from the wall full of keys behind him, and put it on a red velvet tray together with a small card the size of a palm Li, raised his hands and handed it over.

"Mr. Lynch..." After Lynch took these things, he bowed 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 card was a key to the elevator floor. There were some small holes at one end of the card. After inserting the card into the card slot, the corresponding floor could be illuminated.

After the almost imperceptible lift, the elevator door slowly opened, and after stepping out of the elevator, everything in his eyes suddenly became extremely luxurious!

All kinds of gilded decorations, bright red carpets, all kinds of exquisite tapestries, and oil paintings that appear on the walls at intervals. Lynch doesn't know how to appreciate oil paintings, but some of them are really good.

There was a faint fragrance in the air that he had never experienced before. It was calm and not lively, but it gave people a solemn feeling.

The distance between the doors means that the house is much larger than it appears to be.

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

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