Chapter 1176 Pride and Prejudice
"Explain why you are here. My colleagues and I just experienced a gun battle in the city center and were immediately called here again. You should understand this, Mr. Barrett.
When a person is in a very bad mood, it is impossible to be reasonable in any way. ”
Jack was a little annoyed with this lawyer, and also hated Attorney General Jackson. He was the one who asked him to keep a low profile before, but now that the case was exposed, he threw himself out to block the gun.
Although he could understand the person's difficulties and knew that he didn't really want to help those "big shots" to settle things but had other plans, this did not mean that Jack would completely follow the prosecutor's baton.
Seeing Jack's impatience, the lawyer seemed a little uneasy. The current situation was that his side was asking for help, but this little FBI agent showed such a generous attitude, as if he didn't understand what he had just done. The power behind the words is ordinary.
"I'm sorry."
As a partner of a large law firm, Larry Barrett knows the principle of flexibility and flexibility. He pulled on the collar of his shirt that was a little uncomfortable, and then realized that he had gone out in a hurry and didn't even tie a tie.
“But the media smelling the smell of blood may appear at any time. If the shooting that just happened had not attracted their attention, the outside would have been surrounded by interview vehicles at this moment.
I have only one small request, that is, can we handle this case discreetly and quietly? ”
"I don't know how you lawyers define the words discreet and low-key, but a crime scene like this"
Jack raised his hand and pointed at the corpse in the elevator, "You wouldn't ask me to lie for you and say this was suicide, right?"
"Of course there is no need to lie." As if he felt that Jack's tone was a little loose, Larry Barrett quickly handed over his business card.
"Just don't make any comments to the media for the time being, just like you usually do."
Jack did not reach out to take the business card, but raised his hand to look at the time. It was already 3 o'clock in the morning.
He made an introduction gesture to Jie Jie, reached out and asked her for a business card to pass to the barrister, "This is Agent Jennifer Jeange. She is responsible for all external communication matters of our team.
We've been busy all night and now need a much-needed rest before attending the mayor's press conference tomorrow morning about the shooting at the previous parade.
Please contact Detective Jeange after ten o'clock tomorrow morning and provide all the information about Joseph Fielding and the two previous deceased people according to the list she gave, including secret bank accounts, tax records, private emails, etc. ”
Seeing that the lawyer opened his mouth to say something, Jack did not let him say the bargaining words.
"I know that the communication between your lawyers is very close, so don't say anything like you don't know the identities of the first two deceased, otherwise my promise will be invalidated immediately.
Mr. Barrett, I hope you realize this. Unless we work together to find the murderer, these troubles will only increase until they explode like a time bomb. The barrister's face turned dark and he gritted his teeth and nodded slightly, "What you said makes sense, and we will fully cooperate." ”

"Wow, if we can be like this every time we deal with lawyers, I think I will completely fall in love with this job." Aubrey took a big bite of the burger and sighed vaguely.
"I thought you had already fallen deeply in love with the profession of federal agent." Although Jiejie teased Aubrey, it could be seen from her expression that what Jack had just done made her very happy.
As the liaison officer of the team, Jiejie has the most dealings with media reporters and lawyers, and she naturally shows the most anger. Jack really helped her relieve her anger this time.
"I bet that lawyer couldn't have imagined that we didn't want to make this case public at all." Aubrey triumphantly took a big sip of the carbonated drink and then swallowed all the food in his mouth.
Jack smiled and nodded, "Because that's what the murderer wants us to do, so when Jubal and the others arrive tomorrow, we will continue the non-public investigation. Only by doing the opposite will the murderer be able to reveal more flaws."
But Jiejie's face was a little hesitant. She reached out and picked out a French fries from Jack's plate and chewed it carefully, "But in that case, wouldn't it be possible to cause more victims?"
The two men sitting opposite her rolled their eyes, and Aubrey looked even more disdainful, "Although you won't die if you pay to pick up a girl, but it's 20,000 dollars a night. It's hard for such a rich man to let him go." I have so much compassion.”
Looking at the two guys in front of her who had no sense of being rich, Jiejie could only shake her head and express her speechlessness.

Nowadays, Jack is no longer as resistant to limited exposure of his identity to the media as before.
After all, compared to the small probability of being targeted by a perverted killer who comes here for fame, being sent as an undercover agent by the superiors is obviously more troublesome.
In the Alcatraz case, he could clearly feel that his teacher Rossi and the current director of the FBI were not on the same page.
Afterwards, he let Old Mason go privately. Although it was impossible for Director Womack to obtain definite evidence, he might make a note for him in his small book.

So at the press conference early the next morning, Jack, Jie Jie and Aubrey stood next to the fat Director David Brown wearing sunglasses and accepted the mayor’s explanation of the three FBI agents’ Thank you for the timely help during last night's shooting.
"I thought the media would be more concerned about the number of casualties, or deliberately targeting the police in attacks, but all the questions asked were about the police using robots to detonate bombs."
After the press conference, the three returned to the temporary office. Aubrey held his mobile phone and showed a "subway old man" expression.
"They only care about eye-catching information. I even saw a so-called expert make a long speech about whether robots will rebel." Jiejie smiled and poured coffee for the two of them.
"To put it bluntly, the EOD robot is just a large remote-controlled machine and has nothing to do with artificial intelligence." Aubrey complained.
Jack teased this guy while sending a message to Jubal who was still on the plane, "It's a pity that Director David Brown didn't tell the media that it was your idea to use the remote-controlled robot, otherwise you might be able to go down in history.
Some media believe that this is the first time in federal history that the police have used lethal force provided by robots to eliminate suspects. Oh, they even mentioned the movie "RoboCop." ”
