The daily life of American drama detective

The first trial is over.

The judge announced that the next court hearing will be next Wednesday.

"So, manslaughter, 8 years in prison?"

Old white male attorney Will walks up to Executive Assistant Attorney Ben Stone and proposes a new plea deal.

"They fired three shots!"

Executive Assistant U.S. Attorney Ben Stone reminds him that it wasn't negligence at all, it was Chigogo's murder.

"In the eyes of the public, that's not what it looks like."

The old white male lawyer Will shrugged: "My client is a typical American family, please remember this!"

"Murder is murder, and please remember that."

Executive Assistant Prosecutor Ben Stone looked at him, uncompromising: "Let's see if our people value emotions more than facts!"

"If you were really that confident, you wouldn't have to propose this deal."

African-American assistant prosecutor reminded.

"maybe."

The old white male lawyer Will said with a smile: "You may win or lose, but I will never lose!"

After speaking, he happily shook hands with Ben Stone, and left gracefully.

"Is it good or bad to withdraw from the relationship and only talk about work, without empathy with the client?"

The African-American assistant prosecutor watched the other party leave gracefully, knowing what the other party meant, he couldn't help but sigh.

"Numbness is some people's protection and some people's cover."

Executive Assistant Prosecutor Ben Stone laughed at himself: "For people with high blood pressure, it is better to be numb, otherwise they will always face such things and die suddenly in court sooner or later."

"We were scolded miserably, why did you hardly appear in these reports?"

Seeing Chuck coming over, the African-American assistant prosecutor couldn't help but complain.

"Because I have money."

Chuck looked at his face and gave a reason that he could accept.

After all, the relationship with each other is not bad. It can't be said that Batman is more talented in the racial talent of invisibility, and he can blend into the darkness more silkily and seamlessly, right?

Or the sentence 'I'm rich' is more easy to understand and people can take it for granted.

"Now that Leonard Weir is detonating public opinion everywhere, can you let someone post an article to guide positive public opinion?"

asked the assistant U.S. attorney who was black.

"I can, but I won't do it."

Chuck said straightforwardly.

"why?"

The African-American assistant prosecutor asked subconsciously.

"Chuck was right."

Executive Assistant Prosecutor Ben Stone said: "Public opinion should not interfere with the judgment of the law, and if it is necessary to do so in such a case with solid evidence, it is the greatest mockery of the judiciary."

"Then let's go out and not be interviewed later?"

The African-American Assistant U.S. Attorney glanced at his partner.

"You can simply say a few words."

Executive Assistant U.S. Attorney Ben Stone laughed: "After all, we want to remind the public what they should pay attention to, but that's all."

The two said goodbye to Chuck, walked out of the court, and were immediately surrounded by guns and short guns.

weekend.

Monica's apartment.

"Everyone, this is my new girlfriend Julie!"

Ross walked in with his arms around a petite woman, his chin almost lifted to the sky: "She is an archaeologist from China, and she came to exchange and study."

"Hi, I'm Monica."

Monica saw that she was the first to feel very good about Julie, and was very happy for her brother, and immediately greeted her warmly.

Everyone greeted each other.

Julie responded generously one by one: "Don't bother?"

"Don't bother, we are also chatting about the recent Chuck case."

Monica laughed.

"case?"

Julie looked over curiously.

"I'm just very surprised. When we were in trouble, no one paid any attention to us and treated us as dead people. Why did the Bolande family suddenly treat them so well when something like this happened?"

Phoebe complained dissatisfied: "It's a barrister and a bail bond. Those who don't know think we are not white trash. It's not the first time we have encountered such a case of racial confrontation. Why?"

"Yes."

Rachel was also very strange: "I feel that the treatment of the Balland family is almost the same as that of a famous surgeon like my father. It's so strange."

"Not surprisingly."

Monica knew the inside story, and said with a wry smile, "They're more or less influenced by Chuck."

"what?"

Everyone shouted in unison.

"Remember the case where the billionaire asked the surgeon to remove the kidney of an innocent ordinary person for his daughter?"

Seeing that Chuck had no intention of stopping, Monica explained to everyone.

"of course I remember!"

"I'm still terrified."

"In that case, what impressed me the most was that in the courtroom, the prosecutor asked the victim what he wanted most from the trial, and the victim said in tears that he only wanted his kidney back."

"What does that have to do with that case?"

There was a lot of discussion.

"That kidney will never come back, but because of Chuck, the victim's grievances have been redressed to the fullest."

Monica sighed: "The billionaire was imprisoned, and before the sentence was pronounced, the real source, the billionaire's daughter who needed a kidney transplant, approached Chuck and said a lot of self-righteous things.

Among them is the kind who justifiably said that her father is a good person, who does good deeds without leaving a name.

She also said that her father has named a new foundation for the victim, and the victim will be a rich man in the future, so that everyone can win and not lose.

The victim didn't want that, and Chuck ended up sending the billionaire to prison.

Guess what happened to that foundation? "

"How's it going?"

Everyone was taken aback for a moment, and then became very curious.

"You won't continue to pay the victim?"

Rachel envied.

"Do you think the good man father she said is really a good man?"

Monica rolled her eyes: "That's Chiguoguo's deal. Get on the bus first and then pay the fare. When you know that you can't change the result, the foundation will naturally have nothing to do with the victim, and it will be directly changed to the Legal Aid Foundation. Providing the best legal advice to those who can't afford legal aid, guess who gets the first help from this legal aid foundation?"

"Chuck's opponent!"

Everyone suddenly realized, and shouted in unison.

"Correct."

Monica nodded and said, "Because Chuck did the right thing by exposing the filth and disgust of the billionaire father and daughter, allowing them to get the punishment they deserved, but he offended them.

So they directly turned this foundation into an opponent that specifically funded Chuck, even if they couldn't do anything to Chuck, they still disgusted Chuck.

That's why the Bolande family at the bottom of the society fell into the eyes of this foundation, and immediately came to provide the highest quality legal services. "

"So it is!"

Phoebe exclaimed suddenly: "I just said that they are also white trash. How can they leverage so many judicial resources? It turns out that it is because of Chuck! Money is really capricious!"

"Chuck, are you feeling stressed?"

Rachel cared.

"What pressure can he have?"

Ross has a new girlfriend and regains his self-confidence. Seeing the goddess Rachel, whom he has been asking for all along, looks at Chuck like this, he suddenly becomes eccentric again.

"Her foundation has received many large donations in a short period of time."

Chuck said calmly: "It's all the rich and powerful privileged people who offended me in my previous investigation. She is just an idiot who was pushed to the front."

"what!"

Everyone was surprised again.

A billionaire father and daughter are rich and willful, and they have already felt the pressure for Chuck. Now there are other forces supporting this rich and willful behavior. They really feel the suffocating pressure for Chuck .

"Aren't you worried?"

Seeing that Chuck was so calm, Julie couldn't help admiring: "Is it because you believe in free democracy and sound justice?"

"Do not."

Chuck said frankly, "It's just because I'm richer than them."

"..."

The corner of Julie's mouth twitched, and she was almost thrown to the waist.

This was completely different from what she expected.

"boast!"

Roston couldn't help it anymore: "A billionaire is richer than you, let alone this foundation supported by many rich and powerful people. You thought you won the grand prize back then and became a The real billionaire me?"

"How dare you say it!"

Seeing that her elder brother couldn't recognize herself again, Monica became anxious immediately: "If Chuck hadn't saved you, you would have died a long time ago!"

"Chuck, are you a billionaire too?"

Rachel's eyes lit up.

She naturally knew that Chuck was rich, but she didn't know how rich.

Although she is now trying to challenge her weaknesses and accept the baptism of a scientific experiment, she pays more attention to Chuck's physical strength, but the blessing of the billionaire's wealth can have a double effect, and she is very excited just thinking about it.

This scene fell in Rose's eyes, making him even more jealous.

Of course he knows what the goddess Rachel, who has been asking for since he was a child, is doing recently. When he thinks of her fitness exercises that are better than nympho girls, she restrains herself and improves herself, just to be a real Eskimo sister with her own sister, He couldn't control the mania hidden in his heart.

Chuck didn't answer Rachel's question of whether he was a billionaire, nor did he pay attention to Ross's eccentricity and targeting, but looked at Julie: "I advise you to go back to China as soon as possible."

"you!"

Rose's face was flushed with anger, but after Chuck glanced at him, he couldn't get mad, and his whole body was not well.

"Because of Tim Chang's case?"

Julie didn't have as much mania as Rose, and immediately understood why Chuck said that.

I came to New York to exchange and study for a while. Tim Chang’s case is in New York itself, and he is of Chinese descent. Recently, there has been a lot of trouble in the city. How could she not pay attention to it.

"How do you think you're better than Tim?"

Chuck said blankly.

"This one……"

Julie smiled wryly.

She doesn't know how this compares.

"Tim is often a native American, and he has received awards from NASA. He is only 17 years old. In this way, because he is hated by mainstream white American families like Bolande, he was beaten 10 times in half a year because of one award. One insulting phone call, one threatening phone call, and finally walking in the busy streets of New York in broad daylight, was shot three times and died miserably."

Chuck said calmly: "If it wasn't for a classmate with a broad mind who complained about him and came to me after his death, no one would even investigate him after his death, and most of them would just be left in the unsolved case and it would be over.

Even if it was investigated, it would be trapped because of various invisible racial discrimination in the judicial system, causing the key evidence to be invalidated directly.

Because of me, I did not fall into the trap, the evidence is conclusive, but now the public opinion in the city is not a 17-year-old boy who was shot to death innocently, but how a white family full of perpetrators is a family. Heroes!

As the family members of the victim, Tim Chang's sister and mother were threatened and attacked, trembling, full of pessimism and despair about the future.

Do you think it would be better if it was you? "

"..."

Julie was speechless.

This is still the case for a Chinese-American teenager. If she is an adult who came to exchange and study without even getting a green card, the result can only be worse, not better.

"How could this be? Isn't it said that children are best protected in the United States? This Tim is usually just a child."

Julie couldn't help but ask.

"Don't listen to him!"

Rose felt something was wrong, and couldn't care less about being angry with Chuck. He looked helplessly at his new girlfriend who had just established a relationship and hadn't had time to be happy yet: "This is just a small probability event, and it could happen to anyone."

"maybe."

Julie smiled reluctantly.

She is an archaeologist herself, and her IQ is not low. Of course, she understands that no matter how small the chance is, it is 100% true if it falls on her.

And no one wants to suffer such a tragic fate.

Originally, she planned to stay in the United States, and even in order to better integrate, she found Ross, who was a homely person, from her archaeological colleagues to be her boyfriend.

But now she felt that she should really think about whether she really wanted to stay.

After all, the labels she will never get as a native born and bred true American, young genius, even if she lives like this, can she really live a better life if she stays?

"Do not!!!"

Seeing that Julie was really shaken by Chuck's few words, Rose immediately roared unwillingly.

But she didn't know that this manic performance made Julie even more determined.

Even if you stay, don't find Ross, who seems to be honest and easy to get along with, but is actually such a manic and terrible temper as a boyfriend.

She had secretly observed Ross for a long time before, but she didn't realize this at all.

What a mistake!

"Julie, you have to believe that the final result of this case will be good... After all, there is Detective Chuck!"

Seeing that her elder brother seemed to be losing his new girlfriend, Monica hurriedly smoothed things over and cheered up Julie, who was a little disappointed in the United States.

"I believe."

Julie smiled politely.

But everyone knows she didn't take it seriously.

If the judicial result depends on the intervention of Detective Chuck so painstakingly to obtain the final justice, then it would be even more terrifying if you think about it carefully.

Everyone chatted for a while, but everyone saw that Julie no longer had the intimacy with Ross that she had established a relationship with at the beginning. When she left, Ross almost hunched over and accompanied her out, obviously wanting to rescue her. one time.

Joey and Phoebe followed suit.

Amidst Monica's complaints, Chuck looked at Rachel: "Are you ready?"

"what?"

Rachel was taken aback for a moment, then pointed to her nose in disbelief: "Have I passed the test?"

"You have to thank Ross!"

Chuck said straightforwardly.

Monica: "..."
