Chapter 168 The Suits Lawyer, the Billionaire Who Face-to-face Provocation
Wharton Manor.

Chuck drove, carrying Gideon and JJ. After the guard at the sentry box contacted the inside, after the gate slowly opened, he drove in and drove along the path for a few minutes before arriving in front of the manor.

"Hope it's not here."

JJ looked at the huge castle manor and said worriedly.

If Miracle Amy was really captured here, it would be extremely difficult to find it. God knows how many privately built secret rooms there are. Even if they get a search warrant, it may be difficult to find anyone.

"Unfortunately, it's here."

Gideon narrowed his eyes as he watched the two people coming out of the gate of the manor.

"lawyer!"

JJ looked over and saw that the security captain came out accompanied by a lawyer in golden suits. As a member of BAU, she is not the main member in charge of external liaison, but she is more or less proficient in criminal psychology profiling .

Before they came, they called the security captain. Under normal circumstances, the security captain would talk to them first, dispel their suspicions, and immediately find a lawyer to accompany them. It was obvious that they were on guard against something.

"Mr Huck Stephen?"

Gideon stepped forward: "Jason Gideon, FBI, this is my colleague Jennifer Jeange, and Dr. Chuck Wolfe, the bureau's consultant, is this?"

"Harvey Spector."

The handsome lawyer in golden suits confidently spoke his name to the crowd.

“Nice suit! (Nice suit!)”

JJ said sarcastically.

"Thank you."

Harvey, the lawyer in golden suits, touched his custom-made suit: "People judge people by their appearance, so whether you admit it or not, we have to dress better."

"This suit is not cheap, is it?"

JJ couldn't help but said: "Mr. Stephen can afford a lawyer like you?"

"It's not expensive, only $2000."

Suits lawyer Harvey laughed: "As for whether Mr. Stephen can afford me? He really can't afford me, but he has a good boss and is a long-term client of our law firm. If you have any legal problems, you can come to us Consultation, we are always on call.”

"So Mr. Stephen knows he has a problem?"

Gideon looked at the security captain.

"Our suggestion, as long as someone finds you, it's best to find a lawyer as soon as possible."

Suits lawyer Harvey answered for the security captain: "Be prepared, just like insurance, you can not use it, but you can't have it."

"Do you know about the disappearance of Amazing Amy?"

Chuck looked at Suits Harvey.

"I know, I just read the news."

Suits lawyer Harvey smiled, then opened his hands and said disapprovingly, "What does this have to do with my client?"

While the amazing Amy's parents called the police, while dealing with Chuck's inquiries, they conceived the plot of the new book. In the midst of their busy schedule, they did not forget to announce the news, which instantly became the headline news in New York today.

"If you knew your client did it, would you still defend him?"

Chuck looked at him.

"Do you have any evidence?"

Suits lawyer Harvey's smile faded a lot: "If not, this assumption doesn't exist."

"Did you do it, Mr Huck Stephen."

Chuck looked at the security captain who had been silent.

"of course not."

The security chief shook his head.

"You heard me, do you have any other questions?"

Suits lawyer Harvey said.

"You saw it too."

Chuck looked at Suits Harvey: "It's time for the insurance to be paid."

Said, turned and walked back.

"We'll find evidence, Mr. Stephen."

Gideon squinted at the somewhat disturbed security captain: "The most difficult thing in solving a case is not finding the suspect, but once the suspect is identified, it will be very simple to look for evidence. Anyone who walks will leave traces. This is New York City. , From the urban area to here, there are a lot of surveillance cameras, Mr. Stephen, you are not as cautious as you think."

"We know this is not what you want to do."

JJ persuaded sincerely: "Amazing Amy is just a girl who has just grown up. She is an idol in the eyes of countless American children, especially New York children. Mr. Stephen, you have children too. You really want your children Which day did you see their idol disappear and die on TV, and are you an accomplice?"

"Okay, that's enough!"

Suits lawyer Harvey interrupted: "If this continues, I will think you are slandering and intimidating my client."

"JJ, let's go."

Gideon greeted.

Chuck was already in the driver's seat, waiting for them to get in the car, fasten their seat belts, and drive away.

"is it him?"

JJ confirmed.

"It's him!"

Chuck is sure, and Gideon nods too.

The security captain's eyes can deceive ordinary people, but not them.

"what should I do now?"

JJ subconsciously looked at Chuck in the cab.

"Let's see if Garcia can find evidence that directly connects him to the disappearance of Amazing Amy."

Chuck said.

"What if not?"

JJ worried: "Although New York is the most monitored place in the United States, it may not be possible to capture usable evidence."

"No?"

Chuck drove the car out of the manor, parked it outside, turned off the engine, and said, "Then I'll let the agents of the Internal Revenue Service talk to him, and arrest him on charges of tax evasion as a breakthrough."

"How do you know he evaded taxes?"

JJ saw that Chuck was always calm and confident, and the worries in his heart calmed down a little, so he asked curiously.

"As long as you can afford an accountant, everyone will evade taxes."

Chuck said frankly: "It just depends on how much and whether it is legal."

"Isn't that a bit too absolute?"

JJ hesitates.

"Not absolutely."

Chuck said: "The U.S. tax law is too heavy, but any normal person who is still interested in money will try to avoid taxes as much as possible."

"Then what if the security captain's accountant is also a professional hired by his boss?"

JJ immediately thought of the lawyer in the golden suit just now.

"Accounting, no one is more professional than me."

Chuck said bluntly.

"JJ, we have to trust Dr. Wolf's ability."

Gideon laughed. "Call Garcia and tell her to hurry up."

"it is good."

JJ stopped asking and started calling.

Chuck also texted Susan, the ace agent of the IRS's financial crimes unit, asking her to send the security captain's tax situation.

As soon as I sent it, Susan called: "You are abusing your power, do you know that?"

"I'm just reporting suspected tax evasion. This is my right as a consultant. As for whether to investigate, that's your prerogative."

Chuck said calmly.

"You are so boring."

Susan was complaining and curious: "Why don't you go directly to the director for this kind of thing?"

"Do you need me to find him?"

Chuck asked back.

"...I'll tune it for you right now."

Susan was speechless.

She has dealt with Chuck in a big case, and knowing Chuck's ability, she still thinks about cooperating with Chuck in the future. How could she refute Chuck's face in such a trivial matter? What she said before was just a joke among friends. Who would have thought that Chuck didn't talk to him, and was still stern, which made her a little bored.

After hanging up the phone, Chuck took the phone and began to look through the security captain's tax return records.

"Are we a joint case between the FBI and the IRS?"

Seeing that Chuck had settled the IRS in a few words, JJ felt much better and couldn't help but joke.

"Not counting."

While flipping through the pages, Chuck said, "If evidence can be found, we should give priority to taking him down with evidence. Tax issues can only be used as a last resort."

"Any sharp weapon is a double-sided sword. If you use it well, you will be omnipotent. If you use it poorly, it will bite you back."

Gideon said quietly.

JJ nodded, and then asked puzzled, "What are we doing here?"

"wait."

Chuck said.

Seeing that Chuck didn't say what to wait for, JJ couldn't help looking at Gideon. Gideon smiled at her and didn't say anything. He just opened the window and looked at the manor outside the car.

Inside Wharton Manor.

After Chuck and the others left, the golden suit lawyer Harvey's face changed immediately, and he looked at the security captain with a stern look: "Did you do it?"

"of course not."

The security captain smiled and said, "The boss will be back soon, do you want to wait for him here?"

"it is good."

Harvey, the lawyer in suits, narrowed his eyes and nodded in agreement.

After watching the security captain go in, he walked to the grass, took out his mobile phone, and called his female boss: "Jessica, there is trouble."

The famous New York law firm, Pearson Hardman Law Firm.

Inside a large office in an office building.

A middle-aged African-American woman answered the phone: "Harvey, what's the trouble?"

She is the boss of this law firm, Jessica Pearson, and the first Pearson in the name of the law firm is taken from her surname.

"Andy Wharton may be involved in kidnapping Amazing Amy."

Suits lawyer Harvey said in a low voice.

"Is there any evidence?"

Jessica Pearson frowned.

"Not yet, but I know."

Suits lawyer Harvey said affirmatively.

"It's just that the jury is still out."

Jessica Pearson said in a deep voice: "As Andy Wharton's lawyer, you have to do a good job in legal services for major clients who provide the law firm with millions of dollars in revenue every year."

"What if it's really him?"

Suits lawyer Harvey asked: "If the case of Amazing Amy is solved in the future, what will happen to the image of our law firm?"

"What does this have to do with the image of the law firm?"

Jessica Pearson said with a smile: "We are only providing our clients with the most legal and efficient legal services in accordance with the law. If there is any impact, it is only a positive publicity for our law firm."

"What about public image?"

Suits Harvey pressed: "Don't you always ask me to pay more attention to the image of the law in the public eye?"

"Then you just do a few more free legal aid cases."

Jessica Pearson said calmly: "This is what I have always asked you to do to prove our law firm's social responsibility, but you have been resisting and unwilling to do it, haven't you?"

Hardcover lawyer Harvey fell silent for a moment.

"Harvey."

Jessica Pearson's voice softened. After all, Harvey is her number one confidant general, and she trained him alone, which is different from other subordinates, so she persuaded: "We must do everything according to the law, Ann Dee Wharton was not proven guilty. He is our major client. If he is found guilty in the future, he will still be our major client as long as he needs it. At that time, we will defend his innocence or guilt. Our lawyers just Tools have no attributes of good and evil. Everyone has the right to legal aid. If you are as entangled as you are, then there is no need for the lawyer industry to exist, because our clients have various problems more or less. The problem is they don't spend that much money hiring us every year, do they?"

"why me?"

Suits lawyer Harvey said suddenly.

"Oh, grow up!"

Jessica Pearson couldn't bear it anymore, and reprimanded: "I know you have always insisted that you are righteous, but we all know that playing 'I don't want to see the poor, let the poor move away from my eyes' The trick is completely self-deception. In the profession of lawyers, justice is not our priority, but the law is! As long as everything is in line with the law, we can consider other things as appropriate, but we must not lose the big because of the small!"

"why me?"

The lawyer in suits asked again.

"..."

Jessica Pearson was silent for a while, and said: "Andy Wharton called me personally and asked me to send the best lawyer in the law firm, and you are the best lawyer in our law firm."

Speaking of this, she couldn't help being curious anymore: "Is that Dr. Chuck Wolf so powerful? I heard that he can read people's hearts."

"He asked me right away, do you know about the disappearance of Amazing Amy? If you knew that your client did it, would you still defend him?"

Suits lawyer Harvey laughed at himself: "Do you think he's amazing?"

"Sure enough!"

Jessica Pearson is in awe.

In fact, although their lawyers have been promoting a concept that no matter what happens, they must be prepared by a lawyer, but they all know that if a client is innocent, they will not come to them under normal circumstances.

Once you find them, they are theoretically problematic.

Andy Wharton called her directly. The obvious reason was that he had heard about the name of Dr. Chuck Wolf. The class is confidential, so she is required to send the best lawyer to accompany her.

But it was obviously more afraid that Dr. Chuck Wolfe, who had become famous after a few big cases, could really read some secrets from the security captain that could not be known by others, so he called to let They intervene directly.

And after hearing what Harvey said, Jessica Pearson fully understood that Andy Wharton should be nervous and reconciled to this ability to see through Harvey's golden suit lawyer's incomplete sense of justice at a glance. careful.

"Harvey, do what you have to do."

Jessica Pearson suppressed her surprise at Chuck, and said solemnly: "This is something you cannot avoid as a lawyer."

"I see."

Harvey, the lawyer in golden suits, was silent for a moment, then hung up the phone. Looking at the beautiful scenery in the billionaire's manor, he couldn't help but shift his gaze to the manor building. Is the girl called Amazing Amy just a few meters away from him? What about the wall?
at dusk.

outside the manor.

A stretched Lincoln came and stopped when it passed Chuck's car. The window was rolled down, revealing the face of billionaire Andy Wharton. He glanced at the three of Chuck and his eyes on Chuck. Ke, said with a smile: "You must be Dr. Chuck Wolfe?"

"it's me."

Chuck nodded.

"Thank you for watching the door for me."

Andy Wharton said with a smile: "Recently, the law and order in New York is really bad. With you here, we can feel more at ease."

JJ immediately glared.

"If you don't mind, I'll get someone to bring you some food later."

Andy Wharton glanced at JJ, and smiled even more happily: "I just flew back from San Francisco, and I went in first, just like you, I am also hungry, and I need to enjoy my delicious meal. "
