America's King of Poetry

Chapter 61 The Safest Place

The interrogation lasted just over half an hour and could not go on.

This was the first time that Brown and Juan encountered such a suspect, who neither confessed his crime nor denied the possibility of committing it.He used the words "maybe", "probably", "as if", and "forgotten" throughout.Later, Juan discovered that it was not so much that the two policemen were interrogating the suspect, but rather that the suspect was interrogating both of them.

He used superb words to keep creating traps for Juan and Brown, giving the police a feeling of "he did it" for a while, and shaking their heads for a while, thinking that it couldn't be him. He didn't know anything, and he didn't look like a liar.Brown, who has a bad temper, was played around by Arthur, and almost exploded in anger.

Juan, who was calmer, pulled Brown out of the interrogation room and said, "Calm down, calm down! This is a trickster. I said he was weird. This matter may not be that simple..."

"It's not that simple, the murder case is not that simple, and now a sexual assault case is not that simple, so what is simpler? Is it our brains that are simpler?"

"If there is, it is also your brain." Juan replied coldly.

Brown was furious and cursed a few times, and Juan said again: "Take him for genetic sampling. If his genetic test results are consistent with the samples taken, it will be useless for him to play tricks. He is just confusing the water now, and he will have nothing to hide in front of the evidence."

After finishing speaking, the two returned to the interrogation room and stopped conducting meaningless interrogations.Brown uncuffed Arthur and took him to the criminal inspection department for genetic sampling, which was compared with the liquid samples obtained at the scene of the crime.This is very strong evidence. Arthur frowned when he learned that there was a basic sample at the scene. Although he was sure that he had not violated Joya, if there was any liquid left, it must belong to someone else. A comparison would reveal the truth.But if someone wanted to frame him, he would definitely not leave such a big loophole.

Coming out of the interrogation room, Arthur saw Dorothy who had been waiting for him.The two had a brief opportunity to communicate.

"Do you want bail?"

"Need not."

"Where's the lawyer?"

"No need. Take care of Gina and I'll be fine."

The two spoke briefly, and Arthur was taken away.

Dorothy understood what Arthur meant. After completing the relevant procedures, she left the police station and drove to meet Russell to discuss the next step.Abramo was notified by Dorothy and was investigating the matter through Henry's line.After Arthur completed the genetic sampling, he took photos and kept them on file, and was detained in the detention center of the New York Police Department.

After staying in the detention center all night, Arthur was most worried about Gina, he was afraid that his neighbor Sisi would make trouble for her.But Dorothy is here, and she should be taken to Nassau County.Those who were imprisoned with Arthur were all kinds of ghosts and monsters, thieves who stole, gangsters who fought, drug addicts, drunks who drove drunk, and sexual offenders "like" him.Fortunately, everyone was only temporarily detained, and they had no interest in each other before, and it would be bad luck to make trouble in the police station.

Arthur found a random place to lie down and sleep. At about 11 o'clock in the middle of the night, Arthur was awakened by the sound of the cage being opened.Another person was locked in. Arthur opened his eyes and looked up. A tall black figure was pushed into the cell by the police.He cursed and cursed, and as soon as he entered the door, a strong smell of alcohol filled the entire cell, making the already poor air quality even worse.

Arthur frowned, turned over to face the wall and continued to sleep, and the drunk man sat down beside Arthur, still talking nonsense.After a while, the cell gradually became quiet. Arthur's eyelids became heavy and he was about to fall asleep when he suddenly smelled a pungent smell of alcohol.Then, someone said in my ear, "I can easily kill you here, you are too careless."

Arthur woke up in an instant, and the goose bumps turned from his scalp to the soles of his feet. He got up quickly, but saw the drunk man who came in before, sitting cross-legged next to him, closing his eyes and resting his mind, wondering if he had fallen asleep.With the faint light outside the cell, Arthur roughly saw the appearance of this person.He has long blond hair that falls to his shoulders and is long and unkempt.A thin face with an unshaven beard, I don't know how long I haven't washed my face.Though thin, he is very large-boned, with broad shoulders and large, claw-like hands.He was wearing an army green vest and khaki trousers. The clothes and trousers were full of holes and various stains, and they hadn't been cleaned for an unknown period of time.Like a bum.

I don't know if this person is talking to him, but Arthur is afraid to sleep anymore.The voice just now reminded him that if someone really wants to kill him, here is indeed a chance.If you create chaos and cause a fight, you can take advantage of the chaos and kill or maim.Arthur thought this was the safest place, but it wasn't safe after thinking about it.

Until the next morning, when the police station went to work, someone found Arthur and informed him that the prosecution would prosecute him next week. If he did not have a lawyer, the government would assign him a free defense lawyer.Arthur accepted.

At noon, when Arthur saw his defense lawyer in the interview room, he was startled, because it was none other than Karen who defended him!

"Hey, is that you?"

"Yes, it's me."

Karen was obviously not surprised to see Arthur, because she had read Arthur's file before accepting this defense.Through the photo and name, she confirmed that it was the guy who had a romantic relationship with her in the library.She didn't expect to be here, with such a relationship, to meet Arthur again.

Arthur was obviously a little surprised. He had always been thinking about Karen in his heart. Her unique charm and extraordinary boldness and unrestrained charm had a swirling charm.Arthur had imagined that he would see her again one day, but he never expected to meet again in the police station, as a suspect and a defense lawyer.

"Is there nothing you want to ask? Arthur?" Karen raised her eyebrows and asked when Arthur looked surprised and speechless.

She expected Arthur to deny that he had committed a crime, or to confess in front of her, or to show shame by incoherent speech.These are what she is happy to see. The reason why she loves the profession of lawyers is that an excellent lawyer can use some terms and conditions that ordinary people never know or understand, and firmly control the other party in her hands. She enjoys the awe that people have for lawyers in American society.Of course, she has not been a lawyer for a long time, and she has to start as a free defense lawyer first.

At this moment, Arthur had come to his senses. He did feel a little embarrassed, but he quickly adjusted and asked, "Well... I do have a question for you. Who won the game between the Rockets and the Knicks last night?"

Karen, who was looking down at the case file, raised her head after hearing this, and looked at Arthur with incredulous eyes, "What?"

Karen looks very different today than she did that day at the library.Her hair was neatly combed and tied behind her head, she wore small silver earrings on her ears, her glasses were replaced with frameless oval lenses, her light blue long-sleeved light-striped shirt was very slim, her lower body was a set of black professional trousers, and her black round-toed high-heeled shoes were polished brightly.She wore light makeup, her green eyes were crystal clear, and she was watching Arthur from behind the lens.

"I mean, who won the NBA finals last night? I'm a basketball fan." Arthur repeated. He was supposed to watch the NBA finals at home yesterday, but he was locked up in the police station.

Karen showed a strange expression, what was this guy thinking?At this time, he still cares about NBA games?

"The Houston Rockets won the first game. I read the morning paper. Don't you have anything to say about the accusation against you?" Karen brought the topic back to the case. She felt that the conversation between the two seemed a little out of control, and she didn't like the feeling of being out of control.

"I didn't do anything, but someone sued me for doing it, and I'm wondering now, did I do it at all."

Karen shook her head helplessly. She didn't know what Arthur was thinking, so she opened the file, and asked a little bit of questions according to the description in the file, hoping to find out the truth, whether her agent had sexually assaulted Joya Ceci.Halfway through the question, Arthur told Karen his alibi, and Karen asked in surprise, "Did you tell the police about this?"

"No, I forgot about it at the time, and I just remembered it last night."

"If that's the case, they don't even have a reason to detain you and should release you immediately."

"They took my DNA sample and I suspect someone picked up the condoms I threw in the trash."

"Really? So you have the habit of using condoms?" Karen suddenly changed the topic, which caught Arthur by surprise.

Seeing that Arthur was blocked by her own words, Karen felt that she had made a comeback. She closed the file and said, "I'm going to check the alibi you said. If it's true, then the DNA evidence is useless. The court will be held next week. If possible, it's best for your family to release you on bail. Life here is not a good one."

"Thank you, but I feel very comfortable here, just... just can't watch the game."
