"For now, even if the misappropriation of funds and the murder are proven to be the work of James, how sure are you that the judge will convict him?" Ling Xiao sneered and said: "Robert Wellington James is a mayor after all, and he is the mayor of Los Angeles who has announced his participation in the presidential race, only James is willing to reach a plea agreement with the prosecutor for such a thing, and he doesn't even have to go to prison." ”

After a slight pause, Ling Xiao continued: "Catherine, you are also a policeman, you should have seen the appearance of those rich people after committing crimes over the years, even if they go to court, it is normal to fight a lawsuit for more than ten years." Even if you do find enough evidence to take him to court, it will be difficult to bring him to justice. ”

Hearing Ling Xiao say this, Beckett clenched his fists tightly, how could she not know that what Ling Xiao said was the truth. Taking a deep breath, Beckett stared at Ling Xiao and asked, "Then what do you mean by letting me do my best to prove his innocence?" ”

"Catherine, dear, why haven't you figured it out yet?" Ling Xiao shook his head slightly, and said: "Now the general election is still in the primary stage, even if you really verify that he is guilty, what can you do, it is better to wait, and when it is time for the candidates to run in the later stage, these things will be exposed, and wait until the whole people are concerned, no, when the whole world is paying attention, he wants to get rid of his guilt, hum!" ”

Beckett finally understood what Ling Xiao wanted to do, and he actually wanted to bury mines for Mayor James.

You must know that even if the same thing is exposed at different times, the results will be different. If it is now, do everything possible to prove James's guilt, then as long as he announces his withdrawal from the presidential race, in today's environment, no one will pay attention to him anymore, then he can easily reach a plea agreement with the prosecutor and live the rest of his life in a low-key manner.

But if this matter is exposed at the stage of the candidate's election or even the referendum, then under the pressure of public opinion, the prosecutor will not dare to easily reach a plea agreement with him, and even if it is reached, he will have to pay a heavy price.

Thinking of this, Beckett couldn't help but shake his head, and said in disbelief: "Ling, when did you become so, so ......?"

"So insidious, isn't it?" Ling Xiao smiled slightly, shook his head, and said indifferently: "My dear, the reason why I say this is to let you know your current situation and all the choices you have. I'm in charge of making it all out, and it's up to you to decide which way to go. ”

Beckett looked at the person in front of him, and didn't know what to say for a while, that is, he, except for him, few people thought so much about themselves.

Ling Xiao pulled Beckett's soft wattle, turned it over, gently rubbed the calluses on her hands due to years of exercise, and said seriously and earnestly: "Catherine, personally, I suggest that you still check according to your own principles. If it can be proved that he is guilty, then his guilt should be made public and he will be exposed to public condemnation. The resignation of the resignation, the prosecution of the prosecution. There are still a long days ahead, and we have time to deal with him, let him lose his position as mayor today, and find him another trick tomorrow, and we will always find evidence that he killed your mother. Then he won't be able to pass it so easily. ”

"Hmm!" Beckett bit his lower lip and nodded heavily, Ling Xiao is right, there will be opportunities in the future, if James loses the position of mayor, it will be much easier for him to investigate the murder of his mother back then, and James, who does not have the protection of the mayor's position, is afraid that he will really have to go to prison for a while in the face of a murder case with conclusive evidence, and his goal will be achieved.

Seeing that Beckett was connected, Ling Xiao smiled lightly, and then said: "If this case finally proves that he was framed by others, then you have to return his innocence, then you are no longer willing in your heart, you can't frame others for revenge, even if he is a bad person with many crimes, you can't make yourself like them." ”

"Whew!" Beckett breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and said, "Ling, you're right, let's do it!" Then I'm ......"

Beckett was just about to get up to say goodbye, the phone in her pocket suddenly rang, she frowned slightly, glanced at Ling Xiao, and picked up the phone in front of her, without saying a few words, Beckett's face suddenly sank.

Hanging up the phone, Beckett looked at Ling Xiao and said, "Ling, things have changed. ”

As he spoke, Beckett picked up the remote control on the table, turned on the TV directly, and after adjusting the channel, a picture was played on the TV, and I saw Mayor James holding a press conference and saying to many reporters: "...... My Office is fully cooperating with both investigations. Standing here, I can say with confidence that a comprehensive and in-depth investigation will prove that all of these allegations are false. ”

"What a smart man, it seems that these two things really have nothing to do with him." Ling Xiao shook his head slightly, he had a premonition about this, he thought that even if James really had problems before, then these things should have been dealt with long ago before he announced his candidacy for president, how could it be easily discovered, and it was to the point of murder, it seemed that someone was really framing him.

"He can't trust me!" Beckett sneered, for Beckett to personally investigate this case, Mayor James wants to say that he has no opinion in his heart, it is impossible, but the more this time, the more careful he must be.

I don't know how many people are staring at him outside, and the police investigation has gone deep to a considerable stage, it is difficult to say that there will not be any mistakes and stab the matter to the media, and this matter itself is a bureau done by others, how can it be possible to watch him quietly suppress things like this, he will inevitably take the first step, and what they lack is just a suitable time.

The first thing you have to do if you want to run for president is to prepare your own staff, where the brightest people in the country stay. After only knowing the development of the situation, Mayor James's staff immediately gave his best advice, and took the initiative to announce the matter to the public first.

In this way, it can break the secret calculations of some people, and secondly, it can also show his open and selfless mind, leaving an excellent impression on the public, once this matter finally proves that he is not guilty, then this will be a great help for him to run for president.

"Ling, now even if I really have other plans, I'm afraid I can't help it, Mayor James on our side has long been on guard." Beckett sneered, and then said with a relaxed face: "That's fine, I don't have to worry about any pressure, everything is according to the truth, even if there is no evidence, I have to find out." ”

"This is the girl I know." Ling Xiao gently patted Beckett's cheek and said with a smile: "Okay, don't leave at night, I'll prepare a table of good dishes for you, and let Gan Jing bring a bottle of good wine over later." ”

"Forget it, I don't want to face your vinegar jar, and it's unpleasant to find it myself." Beckett stood up as he spoke, looked at Ling Xiao and said, "Let's go, go to the police station with me first, deal with something, and then I'll treat you to a good French meal in the evening, of course, you pay for the money!" ”

"Okay, it's up to you!" Ling Xiao shook his head helplessly, looking at the woman in front of her, why did she have so many thoughts.

After changing his clothes and telling Gan Jing that he was going to the police station, Ling Xiao got into Beckett's car and rushed to the Park Center building of the Los Angeles Police Department.

After arriving, Beckett told Ling Xiao the real reason why he came with him, the city hall clerk who made pornographic phone calls, had a clue!

Seeing Ling Xiao who suddenly appeared, Richard couldn't help frowning, he had never liked Ling Xiao.

As a well-known best-selling author, Richard Ken insisted on staying with the LAPD, partly to gather material for his new book, and partly to try to get close to Beckett.

He liked her, which many people could see, even Beckett himself did not necessarily know. But she never gave him any good looks, as long as he spoke and acted a little too much, he immediately turned into a cold face, and Richard didn't know what was going on.
