The daily life of American drama detective

Chapter 486 The Unlucky Old Man and Wolf's Partner Award!

"how so……"

The owner of the defendant jewelry store tried his best to turn his head to look at his defense lawyer, but saw that the other party looked disappointed, but his eyes were calm.

Just like the calmness in Detective Chuck's eyes.

"We can appeal."

Facing the bewildered eyes of his client, the defense lawyer shrugged his shoulders, with an expression that he didn't know why, but it happened and he could only accept it.

He was disappointed by that too.

After all, this is the supreme honor of defeating Detective Chuck for the first time.

But if you lose, you lose.

He is neither the first nor the last.

And it wasn't him who was sitting in prison.

Ok.

Disappointed, but not at all hopeless.

Appeals are indeed appealable.

But he doesn't expect the results to change.

"How could this be?"

The owner of the defendant jewelry store, who couldn't get an answer from his defense lawyer, couldn't help turning his head to look at Chuck, and shouted from the air.

Chuck glanced at Detective Amy Santiago beside him.

Detective Amy Santiago understood, walked over with a complicated expression, and signaled the bailiff who was coming to take away the defendant jewelry store owner not to move for the time being, took out his mobile phone, and put the screen in front of the jewelry store owner for him to watch.

The jewelry store owner was stunned.

It was a video taken by a camera inside a bus.

An African-American passenger asked the bus driver to stop, but the bus driver refused on the grounds that this was not a stop, and the two had an argument.

The African-American passenger skillfully drew out a pistol and made threats there.

The bus driver was not used to him at all, he just took out his pistol, raised his hand and shot.

The African-American passenger is indeed an expert, and the counterattack speed is also very fast.

The two of them performed the most classic American Iaijutsu in the bus.

The degree of authenticity is definitely far beyond the rookie pecking between him and the two rookie-level marksmanship gunmen and robbers who were chased and killed by him.

After a classic American Iaido, the bus driver was shot in the arm, and the African-American passenger was shot twice.

After the African-American passenger fled in a panic, the bus driver calmly stood at the door of the bus, observed for a while, and prevented the other party from killing the carbine, and then chased him out and fired again.

"He's doing the right thing, he's doing the right thing!"

The owner of the defendant jewelry store watched the entire video, and although he guessed that this video might have affected his judgment, he still couldn't help but shouted.

"He was right."

Detective Amy Santiago nodded and said: "There will probably be no problems afterwards, but the jury's perspective is different from yours. You only pay attention to the bus driver's legal protection of your own safety.

But what the jury saw was that in addition to these two parties, there were several other passengers on the bus, who were scared to death by the sudden eruption of the exciting gun battle.

What do you think they will think? "

"..."

The owner of the defendant jewelry store was stunned, looking desperate, and was taken away by the bailiff.

It's no use doing it right.

He can already understand that his case is such a big deal, not to mention that the jury must have sentenced him to a second-degree murder in New York according to what Detective Chuck said before, and now this unexpected situation has arisen, in order not to let this case become a crime. Weather vane, let more similar situations happen, he became a victim.

Who made him resist?
In this sudden case, was the bus driver also influenced and encouraged by his case, so he resolutely drew his gun to fight back?
Whether it actually is or not, it certainly is in the eyes of the jury.

And if the bus driver does not resist, will the rest of the passengers on the bus, who make the jury feel more involved, be scared to death by this sudden American-style cohabitation?
what?
Was it the African-American passenger who first threatened with a gun?
He took out his, as long as no one resisted, he might not be able to shoot!
what?
Bus drivers dare not gamble?

Then why didn't you just park illegally at the request of the African-American passengers in the first place?

Don't risk our lives!

what?
Will we passengers be unhappy if we park illegally at the beginning?
We are very magnanimous, once we see such 'friendly' faces of African-American passengers, we absolutely dare not complain face-to-face and waste our time by parking indiscriminately.

In short, after seeing this sudden video, the jury immediately felt that the case must not be allowed to have a more adverse impact.

If everyone dares to resist, that's fine!

Perhaps this kind of high-intensity legal counterattack that lasts for a period of time will eventually make criminals feel a little afraid, and they don't want to die and be virtuous.

But what's the price?
Anyway, no one is willing to pay the price.

Not that they are stupid!
It's not that they don't see the sacrifices that must be made to reverse this vicious cycle of rising crime once and for all.

If this kind of action and sacrifice can really be consistent, let them know that there will be a definite result, and the crime in New York will be greatly reduced, and they will admit it.

But history and reality clearly tell them, don't be stupid!

If someone really has this idea, they will not become a bus driver, but will only become a jewelry store owner sitting in prison, and become the price of being sacrificed, but it turns out to be useless at all.

So they shrewdly suppressed Detective Chuck's dissatisfaction with their predictions, and chose to teach another lesson to the poor jewelry store owner who wanted to be a hero.

A civics lesson that would never be said in a civics class, but this is the real civics lesson of a free America!

American heroes are criminals!

It's pretty clear in the manga.

"Do not!!!"

In the court, only the wife of the jewelry store owner was still crying.

"What do you think now?"

Executive Assistant Prosecutor Ben Stone looked at such a jewelry store owner's wife. The kind-hearted him felt a little uncomfortable, but when he thought of the sudden American-style Juhe duel just now, he tried his best to look away and looked sharply. To Chuck.

"She is pretty, and there is a high probability that she will not be deported from the United States."

Chuck looked at the weeping jewelry store owner's wife.

"..."

Upon hearing this, Monica and Rachel looked at each other, the corners of their mouths twitching.

Ok!

This is the white supremacy and machismo that connotes Ross.

"...That's not what I asked!"

Although Executive Assistant Prosecutor Ben Stone didn't know Rose's statement about Julie, the owner of the jewelry store, and Tim, he felt the connotation in it, and reminded silently: "I'm talking about the sudden case! Do you have any idea?"

"Black eats black."

Chuck said straightforwardly.

"..."

Executive Assistant U.S. Attorney Ben Stone's blood pressure is pumping again.

"Chuck, it's business."

The African-American assistant prosecutor smiled wryly.

Chuck's words were obviously racially discriminatory, but as an African-American, he didn't feel so offended.

Because he heard the true meaning of Chuck's words.

That is, if the bus drivers are not also African-American, but white, or other ethnicities, what will happen?
He will definitely be arrested and prosecuted immediately.

Otherwise, there will definitely be a wave of lively demonstrations, and they will not be so peaceful and non-violent.

It is precisely because the bus drivers are also of African descent that there is no such political pressure, so that legal professionals like them can better consider the issue from a legal perspective, and feel that the problem of bus drivers is not serious.

Should not be prosecuted.

However, the bus driver is likely to be fired by the bus company.

Because the bus driver is not a policeman after all, and does not have the strong organizational support of the police union, so even if the African-American passenger does not die, the bus driver does not have the good thing of paid vacation.

"With a gun, you can do whatever you want."

Chuck saw the African-American assistant prosecutor looking at him like this, so he also changed his statement in cooperation.

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Executive Assistant U.S. Attorney Ben Stone with elevated blood pressure couldn't take it anymore.

"The African-American passenger asked to stop and get off, so I asked, did he get what he wanted in the end?"

Chuck looked at Ben Stone calmly.

"..."

Executive Assistant Prosecutor Ben Stone was taken aback by Chuck's interpretation from this angle. He wanted to complain, but he didn't know where to complain.

indeed!

Although the African-American passenger was shot twice, he did as he wished and successfully stopped and got off at a non-stop station.

In a way, does this count as being able to do whatever you want with a gun?
This joke is the same as black eating black, it's a bit too hell.

He heard the cries of the jewelry store owner's wife again, thinking of the bewildered and desperate eyes of the jewelry store owner after he was convicted, and thinking of Chuck's saying that gangsters eat gangsters and have a gun to do whatever they want, a thought flashed uncontrollably. over his head.

The owner of a jewelry store from Greece, although his skin was dark because of the abundant sunshine all the year round in Love Beach, it was still not dark enough...

The African-American assistant prosecutor was afraid that his partner and boss would be angry with Chuck, so he quickly stretched out his hand and pulled him away.

The case has progressed to this point, even if it is over.

Right or wrong is no longer important.

There's no need to make each other unhappy about this kind of thing.

"It's too scary."

Watching the two of them leave, Rachel touched her face and said in fear, "I thought it would be scary to meet a violent New York woman in a taxi, but compared to this irritable driver who opened fire at the slightest disagreement, Violent New York women are peaceful."

"Have you ever been hit by a taxi?"

Detective Amy Santiago laughed when he heard this.

"Yes."

When Rachel mentioned that incident, she became angry: "Whenever I am as good as Monica, I must fight back!"

"It's time to stop retribution!"

Monica said unhappily: "Are you not afraid of resisting and resisting, she stopped hitting you and just drew her gun?"

"damn it!"

Rachel thought about it, and could only curse bitterly: "It seems that I can't take revenge."

Then he said worriedly: "I don't dare to take taxis, buses, and subways now. It's too scary."

"You can buy a car and drive it yourself."

Detective Amy Santiago looked at Rachel's beautiful face and high-end dress, and didn't think she couldn't afford a car.

"I have no money."

Rachel spread her hands: "I cut off the credit card my father gave me, and vowed to be self-reliant, and I won't let him call me a little girl and dictate my life.

My current job can't even support me, how can I afford to buy a car! "

"It's okay, I can send you off!"

Monica said with her arms around Rachel.

"Come on."

Rachel shook her head and said, "You are usually so busy. Peggy alone is enough for you. House cleaning and other tasks almost take up most of your time. How can you have time to send me off often? You still need to buy a car." car."

"You have money!"

Seeing her distress, Chuck reminded her.

"I have money?"

Rachel was taken aback, and looked over: "Where did I get the money?"

"You can apply for the Wolf Long-term Strategic Research Partner Award."

Chuck said calmly: "Although your level is too low, you can only apply for the lowest level 1 Wolf Partner Award for the time being, but the bonus is enough to cover your series of expenses for buying a car, maintaining a car, parking, and driving."

"what?!"

Rachel exclaimed in surprise: "Is there still this award?"

"of course."

Chuck said with a blank expression: "Even Chandler and MAX can get paid as part-time assistants. You don't think Wolf's long-term strategic scientific research partner can only be selected after strict selection and comprehensive development of morality, intelligence, body, art and labor. Don't you deserve a bonus?"

"It matches! It matches too well!"

Rachel thought about the sadness of being dragged up by Monica early in the morning to go for a morning run, and then thought about the series of moral, intellectual, physical, aesthetic and labor indicators that must be completed to participate in professional competitions if she does not go through the back door.

Thinking about it, even if she thanked Ross for her help, she had the opportunity to go through the back door and get in the car successfully.

But it wasn't all happiness, there was also sadness and pain. She immediately felt that this Wolf Partner Award was too suitable, she was too worthy!

"Chuck, this..."

Monica couldn't laugh or cry.

Unlike Rachel, she immediately guessed that this was the Wolf Buddies Award. Chuck must have made it up when she saw that Rachel was really worried about public transportation being unsafe and had no money to buy a car, keep a car, park, and drive. .

In this regard, she deliberately persuaded Rachel to give up.

After all, in her opinion, she and Chuck are free to choose in both directions, so what's the matter with money?

Detective Amy Santiago also had a weird expression on her face. After all, she was a policeman. She was even more sensitive when she heard this. She wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, so she immediately turned her head away, controlled her expression, and left quickly.

"what happened?"

Rachel was a little surprised when she saw the reaction of the Eskimo sisters' girlfriends, and then she reacted under Monica's wink, and looked at Chuck hesitantly: "Uh, this seems a bit inappropriate... I didn't want my dad I want your money, if Ross and the others find out about it..."

"You don't have to apply."

Chuck didn't persuade either.

Anyway, the bonus is there, anyone who wants to apply can apply, and he doesn't force it if he doesn't want to.

"Monica..."

Rachel's pretty face suddenly collapsed, she wished that Chuck would help her make a decision.

Instigated by Rose and the others after she escaped marriage, she cut off all the credit cards her father gave her on impulse, just because her father stopped calling her a little girl.

But in fact, she regretted it long ago.

It's a pity that her father backhanded her there, saying that she was his pride, that everyone would talk about her self-reliance, and that she was a role model among Green's three daughters, which made her unable to repent even if she wanted to.

Now Chuck finally gave her a bonus. The lowest level of bonus is enough to buy a car, keep a car, park, and drive a car.

The key point is that she has a clear conscience when she takes the money!

Ok.

Just like she took her dad's.
