Tony threw the bouquet in front of Marvota's tombstone, and then pushed the silencer in the wheelchair of the broken-legged bodyguard, while Song Ya's wheelchair was pushed by Mike Sr. himself.

This was the first time he had come since waking up, and when he was also holding a bouquet of flowers and staring at the tombstone, the silencer next to him sniffed and wiped his eyes with his sleeve.

"Of those useless law enforcement agencies, there is only one gunman left, and they haven't caught it yet!" Tony yelled angrily.

"I need to be quiet, Tony...... You go over there first. ”

Mawota is very honest and never accompanies Tony out on waves, but Song Ya knows that they used to get along well, so she suppresses the sadness in her heart and sends Tony and them far away.

Only Old Mike was left to stay quietly in front of the tombstone.

"Alas!" Song Ya sighed and threw the bouquet in front of Mawota's tombstone, "I should have been more vigilant, Mike." ”

"Can you recall that time?"

Old Mike had been careful not to mention the day of the shooting, and the old man crouched down and fiddled with the bouquet neatly.

"Of course."

Song Ya gave an affirmative reply, paused, and said, "Mike, you've been spending money too fast lately. ”

“……”

Old Mike was a little speechless, "I thought you were missing Marvota in your head. ”

"One thing, I guess you're still tracking down the whole thing, right?" Song Ya asked.

"There are too many doubts......

Old Mike said: "The driver in Beverly Hills got the plea agreement and changed his name and surname, and his direct instigator, Anthony Pelicano, died in a strange way, and I managed to get his autopsy report...... The local police in Los Angeles closed the case in a hurry. ”

"Also, one of the dead gunmen, McTowny, had his face smashed by the FBI, but he was the most crucial of the four gunmen, the brain, the planner and the commander, but it was really the simple-minded Trevor who ran away? McTowney wasn't even of Italian origin, he only knew one captain of the Colombo family of the mafia, a mid-level person. ”

"Giuliani took this opportunity to wipe out the Colombo family."

"The FBI was also a bit weird about the whole thing, they arrived later than the local police, but they got to the location where the shooter fled and hid as quickly as possible......"

"Maybe I should take a good look at Motula...... But at the time...... I didn't think about it that much. ”

"That's the problem, Mike, if there's a bigger conspiracy behind that day's shooting, you're going to put me in danger again."

Song Ya interrupted the old man's chatter, "Los Angeles prosecutors, Giuliani, FBI...... Or the people behind Motula, none of whom will like to let you get close to the truth. ”

"Don't you want to find out the truth?" Old Mike asked rhetorically, "Aren't you afraid that they will continue to do things against you?" ”

"At least not now. Let's make a promise Mike, until we catch or kill Trevor, you won't be so aggressive in other directions, and if there is a big conspiracy behind the scenes, the private investigators you paid for will not be able to keep it a secret. ”

Song Ya said lightly: "As for whether you will continue to do it to me...... If it's for the previous ......"

He turned his head to look around to make sure no one was going to hear the conversation, and said, "Even if the six bullet holes and five months of coma on my body are the dead FBI detective...... And the other murders that have paid the blood tax, I'm not strictly a good person, and I don't think I'm completely innocent, Mike, you know that. As for whether those people will think that from now on Liangqing will let me go or continue to want my life, I accept it, I can't have more enemies for the time being, and your continued pursuit will make those people feel unsafe and even murderous again. ”

"Don't worry, I won't let them notice." Old Mac said, "I'm going to avenge you and Mawota and them, don't your politician friends want to catch the inner ghosts?" ”

"You're not an all-knowing person who can never go wrong, Mike, for example, you've been blinded by the driver who caused the accident, and no one can be completely invisible to the eyes of the state's violent apparatus. I can actually guess a little...... Politicians may leave in two years, four or five years, and the officials who serve until retirement on a salary may be the ones who really control the machine, if they are the so-called ghosts...... You must know that the death of Commander Kennedy is still unclear. ”

Song Ya looked at Sloane walking in the distance, "This passage was taught to me by Sloane, but you must promise me, Mike. ”

"Okay, I promise you." Old Mike was persuaded, "But it's only temporary, and you promise me too?" ”

"Of course."

"Alas!"

Sloan, who hadn't heard the conversation between the two, dropped the bouquet in his hand and sighed at Mawota's tombstone for a while, "You didn't know how much your blood flowed that day...... It's scary. Forget it, don't mention this. ”

"Is it time to leave for the courthouse?" Song Ya asked.

"Yes."

Sloan said: "Also, we have basically negotiated with Goodman and Hamlin, and if nothing else, Hamlin will return to the United States in a few days, pay back some money, and surrender as a tainted witness." ”

"Where did he come from?"

"I don't know, he may still regret it."

"Wow, it looks like they're all waiting for today's trial to end."

Song Ya smiled instead.

"Shall we go?" Sloane takes over Mike Sr. and pushes the wheelchair into the distant convoy.

"Well, Tony, we're leaving!" Song Ya called Tony, and then looked back at the tombstone deeply.

At this time in Mexico, Hamlin had already put on his makeup, stuffed the long-distance ticket into the inner pocket of his suit, carefully poked his head out of the window of a small town's dilapidated hotel, and looked at the public telephone booth on the side of the street downstairs, it would take more than ten hours to reach the nearest Mimexican border from here, he was not in a hurry, and was still waiting for a miracle.

"The Mexican Financial Crisis of '94, the Mexican Financial Crisis of '94 ......"

In New York, in Carl Icahn's office, the co-believer pushed the door open and walked in, "Hunt Rose is really in the limelight right now!" Boss, he led the hedge fund to attack Thailand, and repeatedly built momentum at home to prevent the government from repeating the mistake of bailing out the Mexican financial crisis in '94, throwing money to save our allies in Southeast Asia. ”

"Hmm."

Carl Icahn is also reading related news, "In order to save domestic finance, the book has withdrawn from Southeast Asia in the back garden on a large scale, so that Karoth sees an opportunity, what happened to the bankruptcy crisis of Takushoshu Bank in Hokkaido?" ”

"Look at the book, the government can't save it."

The cronie replied: "Wall Street investors are fighting with Ross, and many people are laughing at you, saying that you are addicted to fighting mud with that kid at APLUS." ”

"Is he a child? Hehe......"

Carl Icahn was not angry, "I have to keep Marvel and care what others say." ”

"Perelman and Deputy Commander Al Gore are at odds, and APLUS will not risk working with Perelman at the risk of opposing Gore, and I personally think it will never. He just let it go, and the two have not reached any substantive agreement so far. Cronies remind.

"Anyway, wait until today is over to make a decision, and don't let anyone else bother me." Cal Icahn sent him out, then picked up the remote control and changed the channel, "Damn it, it's all the former princess of the United Kingdom, the former princess of the United Kingdom, the former princess of the United Kingdom......"

The media in the United States have been eating the melons of the former British princess for a long time, and they are tireless in spreading all kinds of conspiracy theories, most of which are negative for the British royal family, and some radical people even openly call for the British royal family to 'step down', and there are not many people in the media industry and Hollywood who like that family.

The news that Song Ya entered the federal courthouse in Chicago's South City surrounded by a dream group of lawyers was almost impossible to find in the national media, and the case had already been heard twice before, and most of the media who did not know the truth felt that this time was no different from the previous ones.

"Don't come."

Mariah Carey appeared behind the dock with little Rhaegar in her arms, after that transfer, her relationship with Aunt Susie had not yet recovered, and she sat a little far, Song Ya supported the armrest of her wheelchair with one hand, and half stood up to tease her son, who was more than a year old, "Wow, you grow so fast, you look more and more like me." ”

"Hmph, they say bringing kids in helps inspire compassion on the jury." Ex-wife sells her newfound knowledge.

"Maybe, thanks anyway." He sensed the sideways glances of the swelling spectators, who were actually familiar faces, such as the deputy commander Gore's men, and a lawyer of John Willow, with whom he did not make eye contact.

"Ahem." Cochrane coughed beside him.

Song Ya turned around and saw the judge staring at him walking towards the judge's seat, smiled at him, sat down, and touched the red ribbon on his chest by the way.

"Looks like you can stand up?" But this time, the judge did not give any more speeches calling for the fight against HIV.

"Uh...... Yes, but with some assistance, Your Excellency. ”

Song Ya trembled again......

"All stand up!" The bailiff has been signaled by the judge.

Song Ya closed his mouth, and stood crookedly with the help of Cochrane.

"The trial has begun." Sunnyvale and DeLay were also waiting for a call in the office, due to long-term nervousness and insomnia, he was now very easy to fall into irritability, and he couldn't find relevant news after changing several stations.

A prominent producer on CBS Sports' baseball program has just voluntarily resigned, in what is believed to be related to an anti-discrimination class action lawsuit filed by Cochran, which has evidence that he ...... against an African-American woman eight years ago This is the fourth media person CBS has resigned or been fired over the allegations. ’

But he stayed on this news brief for a while, and couldn't help but get even more nervous, "Guilty! Guilty! Convicted! Suddenly mad alone in the office shouting, praying, "Guilty! God proves Him guilty! ”

"Mr. General Manager."

The trial lasted for half an hour, and the former general manager of the Barn fluorescent agent factory sat on the witness stand, and after swearing by the Bible, he was first questioned by the prosecution's Charles, "In fact, you only need to answer one question, who gave the order to take away some technical information that does not belong to the scope of the transaction?" ”

The general manager and Song Ya looked at each other, hesitated for a moment and pointed over.

"It's APLUS, that is, Mr. Alexander Song, right?" Charz asked.

"Yes."

"Can you describe exactly what it was like, do you remember?"

"Yes."

"Then please repeat to the jury what you had said."

"Uh...... He, APLUS was very angry at the time, and angrily scolded me, saying: Money! I want to see the money soon! Do you understand? Let the big ship leave the port quickly, don't drag me! Belch...... I omitted some swear words in the middle. ”

"No problem, what about after that? Did you explain to him the sensitivity of this technical information? ”

"Explained."

"How did he respond to you?"

"He said that the factory was his, and he had the final say." He deliberately omitted some things, such as the conversation with the former Grand Commander.

"And then you're going to do what you're told?"

"He's the boss."

"OK, I'm done with my question, Your Excellency." Charz glanced at this side with a smile and went back to sit down.

"Defense lawyer."

Will Gardner, a master of interrogation, buttoned up his suit and walked up to the general manager, "Do you know how old APLUS was at the time?" ”

"Of course."

"How old he was."

"Seventeen or eighteen."

"Hah! JURY NOTE, APLUS WAS ONLY A SEVENTEEN OR EIGHTEEN-YEAR-OLD African-American hip-hop star who had just made a name for himself, while our CEO had been managing the business for many years and was a well-known scientist in the industry. Am I right? Will asked.

"Yes." The general manager nodded.

"How do you communicate with him in general? He doesn't understand the chemical industry, does he? He was just a high school student! ”

"UH, JUST TRY TO KEEP THINGS AS SIMPLE AS POSSIBLE, PLUS IS VERY SMART, HE CAN UNDERSTAND."

"For example?"

"Well, for example, a direct demonstration of the practical effect of fluorescent agents, so that he can see the ...... of our products with his own eyes"

"Even don't hesitate to lie and mislead, right?"

"What?"

"You lied to him and misled an African-American high school student, your boss, to achieve your own personal ends." Will said.

"I'm against Your Excellency!" "He's really slandering the witnesses and misleading the jury," Charles exclaimed. ”

"The objection is valid, please pay attention to the wording of the defense lawyer."

"I will." Will apologized, "Then let's change the word, let me give you an example, Mr. General Manager, do you remember one time, your factory's fluorescent agent products were questioned by the paper as harmful to the human body, what did you say to APLUS?" ”

"Uh...... Hint, please? I don't remember exactly. ”

"Did you tell him that the substance in question, a certain polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbon, is used only as a catalyst in a chemical reaction, in very small amounts, and ...... at first?"

"I reacted at the beginning. Yes, I said that. The general manager admitted.

"You're lying! According to the testimony of our chemical expert witnesses, the catalyst will not be reacted at all, and the total amount of substances before and after is unchanged! ”

"Well, I'm just using colloquial expressions to make the layman as understandable as possible." The general manager replied.

"You're lying again! That multinuclear aromatic hydrocarbon is not a catalyst at all, he is actually a sensitizer! Will propped his hands on the stand and looked directly at him for pressure.

"Against! Your honor! Charles shouted again, "It's slanderous, but it has nothing to do with this case." ”

"I have the testimony of expert witnesses to corroborate what I just said." Will presented the documents to the judge, "The witness's actions prove that he has misled my client with his management and chemical expertise throughout!" Certainly related to this case! ”

"The objection is invalid, and the witness has an obligation to explain the matter clearly." The judge ruled after reading it.

"Uh...... The difference between a sensitizer and a catalyst is too complicated to elaborate, and it is even more difficult for non-specialists to understand what a sensitizer is......"

"So you admit you're lying and misleading APLUS?"

"I'm just out of kindness, this explanation can save a lot of tongue, APLUS has a general understanding of the principle of catalysts, which is already rare......"

"Is it really good intentions? I also have a piece of evidence here, you once suggested that APLUS recruit more than 30 workers in the course of your company's operation, right? ”

"Yes, there is such a thing."

"DOES APLUS AGREE?"

"He didn't."

"Why didn't he agree?"

"Uh, it should be...... He felt it would lead to higher costs. ”

"Then why did you still suggest that he recruit these workers?"

"Production line and sales need ......"

"Hah! Your Excellency, jurors, I have two witness statements from the people who accompanied Mr. General Manager to visit APLUS at that time, and please note what they heard Mr. General Manager say. ”

Will curled the corners of his mouth as he handed out the papers, "Let me ask again, what did you say to your former colleagues before you met APLUS?" ”

"Uh......" the general manager wiped his sweat.

"Before you entered APLUS's home, you once said to your colleague: APLUS doesn't understand the chemical industry, he doesn't know if there is a shortage of people in the production line, how many people are missing, and when the time comes, you will echo me and fool him a few more words, and get back the old employees of Barn Company who were laid off before. Is that right? ”

The general manager looked at the signatures of his former colleagues on the document and was silent.

"Answer me!" Will slammed the wood on the witness stand railing, "Do you need me to read it all out loud from beginning to end?" ”

"Yes, I did." The general manager bowed his head in disgrace and admitted, "No, no need......

Jurors, who are more than half black, erupted in an uproar.

"You are a habitual offender who deceived your boss and did not understand the chemical industry to achieve your personal goals, not only once! I have other proof! You took advantage of APLUS's age and lack of expertise to manipulate him! It has always been like this! The technical information sold to Huaguo enterprises is also available! You exaggerated the storage fees to him and used him to lure him to your personal goals based on the fear of losing money! That money was earned by APLUS, which was not very famous at the time, and it was very hard to earn it back from rushing to the scene in the whole country! An African-American high school student who doesn't know anything about the chemical industry is stupidly tempted to buy your factory! You should be in the dock! ”

Will impassionedly pointed at him and gave a speech.

"Wow, Will, you're really tall in court."

At noon, Song Ya high-fived Tony, ex-wife and others who were celebrating warmly, and then complimented Will Gardner, who successfully resolved the general manager's testimony.

"Don't be too happy, Heinrich in the afternoon is not so much horsey, has a good personal image and reputation, and is a former officer, so it is not easy to deal with. And you yourself have to testify in court in person, and wake up the spirit of the twelve points APLUS. ”

Will wasn't too optimistic, and Diane and Cochran cautioned sternly.

“APLUS！ Hold on! Mr. General Manager now also manages Dow's light stick production line, although it has been marginalized due to poor performance, and Heinrich ......"

Cochran found an opportunity to catch up from behind alone, "Will's argument in the afternoon may involve some sensitive parts, otherwise it will be difficult to refute Heinrich, but then we would be a bit foul." He was worried, "politicians ......"

"Hehe, is it a foul on us?" Song Ya and Sloan glanced at each other, and the two smiled tacitly.

'Ring, ring, ring. ’

The public phone booth outside the hotel suddenly rang, and Hamlin ran down to pick it up, "Oh, oh...... I see, help me that afternoon...... Well, I'll let you know the new number at four o'clock. Yes, wait, I won't be able to go back today, tomorrow...... Or look again. ”

He groped his fake Mexican beard back to his room, then picked up his worn-out duffel bag and moved it.

"Mr. Doug, the prosecutor is free, please come with me."

In New York, in the office of Manhattan District Attorney Spitzer, known as the Wall Street sheriff for cracking down on financial crimes, the female secretary went out to invite his fellow Donkey Party colleague who was sitting on a bench in the waiting area in the corridor, and Doug, the chief of staff of the House of Representatives Party whip office.

"Not yet." Doug put down the phone in his ear.

"What?" The female secretary was a little confused.

"I mean, I'll see him at a more appropriate time, just wait here for now." Doug said.

"But I don't know if Mr. Prosecutor has time to ...... in the afternoon."

"He'll have it." Doug squeezed out an ugly smile at her.

"Weirdos!"

The female secretary walked away, looked back at Doug, who was withdrawn, legs together, and like a robot without saying a word, who had been holding his briefcase on the bench for a long time, took out a sandwich from his bag, and munched on it slowly as if no one was around.

"Rout! Mr. General Manager is defeated! ”

Cal Icahn, also in Manhattan, received the call, touching his forehead in contemplation.

"Idiot!"

Sunnyvale's DeLay smashed a landline, "It used to be stupid, if it wasn't for the fluorescent party we invented to expand the market, this guy would have been laid off and went to the production line to screw it!" ”

"Afternoon, afternoon! God forbid! God forbid! He began to pray again in a frenzied manner, crying.

"No, no, something is wrong, there must be a problem! What went wrong......"

After Carl Icahn's long exam, he suddenly had a spirit, muttered to himself, picked up the microphone, dialed, "Don't wait for the afternoon, say hello to the middleman, forget it, the operation is suspended." And then...... Contact APLUS, I am willing to reconcile with him, as soon as possible, to give practical action today! ”

“APLUS！”

Song Ya, who was waiting for the afternoon trial with her relatives and ex-wives, heard Diane's surprise voice coming from afar, "Heinrich's lawyer suddenly withdrew his testimony, and he won't show up in the afternoon!" ”

"Oh, I see. Boom ......"

Song Ya agreed very blandly, and continued to hold up the giggling little Lega and gnaw violently, rubbing the stubble on his son's little face.
