Chapter 1115 Test: Going to Las Vegas
In the detention room of the 12th Precinct, a couple was talking to each other.
Amy and Greg were handcuffed to one end of the bench. The distance made it impossible for the two of them to hug each other, so they could only hold their little hands, but they were still inseparable.
"I shouldn't have agreed to your stupid idea. Now you have to lose your freedom because of me. We can't even see each other for a week."
The girl Amy's eyes were red and swollen, and she didn't know how long she had been crying.
"Maybe your story will have a different ending." Beckett's voice came from outside the detention room, and Jack and Cassel appeared with her.
Cassel smiled and shook the key in his hand towards the two of them, and opened the iron door of the detention room. "A certain lover said that if someone is willing to risk everything to rescue the person they love from prison, then it must be true love." .
True love is hard to find in this world, not to mention that Greg repeatedly insisted that you were innocent, so he took me to the court to find a friend and retrieved your file and the court records at that time. ”
"You are talking about yourself when it comes to love saint, but I prefer to use the word playboy to describe you.
What I was saying was, what are the chances that an ordinary girl with never a criminal record and multiple accident records would become a driver for a robbery gang? ”
Jack smiled and explained what he had dragged Cassel to do this afternoon, "I asked Assistant Prosecutor Ms. Erin Regan to read your file. According to her, there are indeed many irregularities in this case. .”
In fact, because they were getting along in private at the time, Eileen very bluntly called a certain public defender a piece of shit.
"Your attorney ignored many critical missing pieces of evidence, not even excluding the eyewitness testimony of the apparently mentally ill homeless man.
So Assistant U.S. Attorney Erin Regan is willing to reopen your case, and she thinks there's a good chance you'll be cleared. ”
Jack's words made the couple ecstatic, but since they were handcuffed at both ends of the stool, Greg could only hold Amy's hand and kiss the back of her hand.
But before the expression of surprise could last more than three seconds on the girl's face, she became worried again, "What about Greg?"
The crime of planning and assisting in a prison break is not a light one, but fortunately we are in the federation and everything can be traded.
Cassell smiled and said, "The kind-hearted assistant prosecutor said that from the perspective of safeguarding justice, if Amy is found not guilty, she will negotiate with the judge and recommend that Greg be given a suspended sentence."
Of course, what he didn't say was that if she really wanted to achieve this, Amy would definitely have to sign some agreements, such as giving up certain compensations.
This can be regarded as a small test. Greg is true to the girl, but what about the other way around?
Three years in prison, which means a large sum of money in compensation. Whether Amy is willing to use this money and the corresponding silence in exchange for Greg's probation agreement is still an unknown question.
Everyone likes to see a happy ending like a fairy tale, but reality often does not always meet people's expectations. Jack gave Amy the power to write this ending, hoping that she would not let down his hard work.
Of course, it wasn't just Jack who had worked hard, Cassel also had his heart set on it.
"It's a pity that the state troopers took you back from Burger King while you were reliving those beautiful moments when you first met, so before you leave the cell, let's use this to make ends meet."
He revealed the paper tray hidden behind him, stepped forward and placed it in the middle of the bench where the two were sitting. On it was a paper bag with the Burger King logo printed on it and two cups of Coke. Beckett stepped forward with the same smile, took out the key, opened the handcuffs of the two of them, and moved them to a more comfortable position so that they could be closer together, while not forgetting to give them two pieces of chewing gum.
"I hope this is a happy ending, after Greg has done so much for her." Cassel was still a little worried when he left the detention area, but his jumping thoughts soon turned to strange places.
"Jack, if you were to be imprisoned, who would you choose to be imprisoned with?"
"Clay, some elder you are not familiar with, some friends in California, in short it will definitely not be with you, because we will soon find a way to escape from prison, and you will only leak our secrets because of your big mouth Plan.”
Jack shrugged, speaking the cold hard truth.
"Wow, this is so sad. A false trip to prison made me see clearly the hypocrisy between friends." Cassell looked hurt.
"Don't worry, Cassel, I will rescue you." The beautiful police detective walked past the two of them quickly.
The great writer stood there blankly, looking at Beckett's graceful figure walking towards the elevator.
What is this, a casual confession? Jack reached out and rubbed the goosebumps on the back of his hands, feeling that he could continue to feast on these two people for a long time.
"What are you waiting for? Didn't we agree to go to Las Vegas together?" Beckett turned back and looked at the two of them with a smile.
——
What was expected to be just a trip to Las Vegas with three or two friends ended up turning into a large temporary tour group.
In addition to Jubal who stayed behind because he had to stay with his family, the other members of the wanted group, Alexis and Cassel's mother Martha who loves to join in the fun, and Brian Mills who came all the way from Los Angeles and Kim.
Brian is actually quite busy at work now. In addition to protecting Laila on a daily basis, his focus has shifted to the newly established security company.
But this time, I was accompanying my daughter Kim to visit Alexis, a friend who had suffered in Paris together. Naturally, no matter how busy I was, I had to take time out.
Due to the delay in the case, the two Korean tourists, Ma Xidao and Jiang Zhentai, who were the protagonists of this trip, have been waiting here for a day. Fortunately, they took a full week off.
That night, two big winners were born in a casino in Las Vegas. Two Korean tourists won more than two million US dollars in chips on a blackjack table.
Cassel, who had never won money in a Las Vegas casino, followed Jack's suggestion and made a small profit.
The writer, who was in a good mood, treated everyone to a round of drinks at the bar attached to the casino and spent all the winning chips.
Perhaps it was because this was a group trip and there were no accidents. However, there were not many places to play in Las Vegas. Apart from the casinos, there were only places to eat and drink.
Three days passed in a blink of an eye. After seeing off the two Korean police officers who had "rewarded a lot" on this trip, Jack was wondering whether to go to Los Angeles for a walk or to go back to New York directly with his friends. A new case from the International Department came again. .
