The Daily Life of American Drama Detective

Chapter 7 The heroine’s cool article template

"I have something to tell you."

Just when little Leonard was complaining, Kelinda came over. Little Leonard was silent for a moment, and his eyes only dared to peek.

"Leonard, go find Mike."

Kelinda looked at little Leonard.

"you know me?"

Little Leonard's young face was slightly red. Seeing Kelinda's knowing expression, he lowered his head and said yes before leaving: "Oh, okay."

Kelinda waited until little Leonard walked away, then sat next to Chuck, looked at Chuck's lunch, and mocked: "I didn't expect you to like Indian food."

Chuck frowned and looked at Kelinda who was very close to him, and said calmly: "Every dish has its own quality."

"... Let's get down to business."

Kelinda's face darkened and she stared at Chuck: "You've been watching the jury for so long, have you noticed anything?"

"Did you see that person?"

When Chuck got down to business, he motioned for her to look at an old man with a white beard in the jury: "Although he is not the most handsome, richest, and wisest, he is the head of the jury, and his decision will largely determine the outcome.

The result of this lawsuit.”

"How much do you earn per year as a detective?"

Kelinda had investigated it beforehand and naturally knew this, so she showed a speechless expression again and couldn't help but ask the question she was most concerned about.

Most people would not take the initiative to ask someone such a private question. This is a very rude behavior.

But she could tell that Chuck was no ordinary person, and she was an investigator, and sometimes she had to ask these private questions to get the answers she needed.

Now she feels that she must know this, otherwise it will be really heartbreaking and uncomfortable.

"You think I can make a lot of money like this, so you can do it too."

Chuck glanced at her.

"How dare I compare with Dr. Wolfe."

Kelinda laughed at herself: "You went to college at the age of 15, and at the age of 20 you got a doctorate in accounting from the University of Texas at Austin, which ranks number one in accounting in the United States. Now you are only 22 years old, and you have already become famous in the accounting industry.

Sir, you are a genius, but ordinary people like us are certainly not as good as you."

Although she said this, the emphasis in her tone was on the word accountant, and she was obviously still not convinced that Chuck, an accountant, would not let them do the investigation, and also take far more money than they did.

"If you ask for a salary increase moderately, you can succeed, but if you ask for too much, you will be fired."

Chuck lowered his eyes: "For your own good, it's better that you don't know."

He was not surprised that Kelinda had investigated him and casually shared her resume.

When people live in society, they must have a clear and normal growth history that can be verified.

Otherwise, it would become a suspicious gangster.

"..."

Kelinda paused.

She was indeed planning to use Chuck's detective income as a standard to ask for a raise from her boss. She had an estimate in mind before, and thought that even though Chuck's charges were so exaggerated, it actually took several years to catch such a taken advantage of.

But now it seems that she still underestimated Chuck by a long way.

She wanted to continue asking.

However, thinking about the current economic crisis, the sluggish market, and even their law firm is laying off employees, she really doesn't know what to do if she really knows a number that makes her mentality completely unbalanced.

She would feel uncomfortable if she didn't get more salary increase.

The boss hired her more than she expected and fired her directly. It would be very difficult to find the same job again. Moreover, she had been working in this law firm for several years and was familiar with all aspects.

My best friend is here too...

"What did the head of the jury think?"

Kelinda finally reluctantly agreed with Chuck's statement that it was better not to know and changed the subject.

"He hasn't made up his mind yet."

Chuck said calmly: "However, they generally have sympathy for Mrs. Florrick, and it also has some positive influence on Mr. Ball. It is a wise choice for you to choose Mrs. Florrick as your defense lawyer."

.”

In the American jury system, the jury convicts and the judge imposes the sentence.

There are usually 12 people on a jury, and they must all agree that they are guilty or not guilty, otherwise they will have to start over and re-select a jury for a new trial.

People tend to have a herd mentality. Under the persuasion of prestigious people, or due to external public opinion or other pressures, they will generally agree on a verdict of guilty or innocent.

If found guilty, the judge will impose an appropriate sentence according to the law.

Of course, the judge also has the right to overturn the jury's decision of guilt or innocence, but that would be too rude and will generally not happen.

When Kelinda heard her best friend's name, she immediately turned her head and pretended to look at the jury, not daring to make any eye contact with Chuck.

She was really worried that Chuck would reveal her innermost secrets again.

"The law firm chose Alicia more for her abilities than for her identity."

Kelinda refuted the underlying meaning of Chuck's words: "Alicia is a very good lawyer."

"Identity is also a type of ability."

Chuck said calmly.

Who doesn’t know the famous Mr. and Mrs. Florrick?

My husband is a well-known attorney general in Chicago and is known as Chicago’s Big Boss. Not long ago, a videotape of a prostitute paying for money was released and he voluntarily resigned.

My wife, who had been a housewife for more than ten years, had no choice but to bid farewell to the luxury house for the sake of this family and return to work. With the help of her former classmate and admirer Will Gardner, she entered a law firm and took over one case after another.

.

Public opinion generally sympathized with Mrs. Florrick, who was teased in this video about whether she wanted to do such sex work by her husband's money-spending girl, and who was still supporting the family despite being divorced.

Another more critical reason why Diane, another boss of the law firm, agreed to hire Mrs. Florrick was that the female lawyer's husband had been the attorney general for many years, and her personal connections were first-rate in Chicago.

Especially for lawyers like them who need to deal with prosecutors and courts, this kind of personal relationship is definitely the best resource.

Even though the husband of the female lawyer resigned and was imprisoned for trial on suspicion of using public funds to support women, those close to him are still willing to support him and are investing money and effort to get him out and allow him to continue to participate.

Choose the attorney general or even the governor.

I believe that with such a legendary turnaround and counterattack, the prodigal son will be able to turn around without paying for his fortune. The former high-ranking man in Chicago, who could only be elected as governor, has already become a candidate for the general election in the future.

And all of this requires the support of the wife, a female lawyer.

Therefore, the energy that female lawyers’ potential connections can bring is unimaginable.

These things are far more critical than the abilities of female lawyers.

Otherwise, no matter how good she was back then, she only cared about her family after more than ten years, how could she have the opportunity to frequently appear in major cases and kill everyone after she came back?

Besides, she couldn't have been so outstanding back then, otherwise she wouldn't have chosen to give up her career to marry her husband.

An incredibly outstanding person will naturally have his own arrogance and pursuits. Unless he is a cool heroine template in film and television novels, it is impossible for him to waste his talent like this.
