My days as a landlord in Gotham

(four)

The Gotham City District Attorney's Office and the Gotham Police Department are not in the same place. After all, the relationship between prosecutors and the police is not very friendly. Even the relationship between prosecutors and police in some parts of the United States is antagonistic.

Fortunately, most of the police and prosecutors in Gotham have the same hobbies and goals, so the relationship between the two parties is not bad, only a little bit of disagreement.

But even so, the headquarters of the Gotham Police Department is in the Columbia Point area of ​​Midtown Island; while the Gotham District Attorney's Office and other municipal agencies are located in the Fort Clinton area.

It's interesting to say that because of Benjamin's relationship, Li Lei has come to the Gotham District Prosecutor's Office quite a few times, but this is the first time he has come here as a suspect.

After getting off the police car, Li Lei looked at the gate of the District Prosecutor's Office, which he was no stranger to, and smiled awkwardly.

"Mr. Li, I remember that Benjamin is also your good friend, so you should also know the work style of the District Attorney's Office.

If you have anything to say, I advise you to cooperate with us as soon as possible. "

The assistant prosecutor who brought Li Lei back was named Cary, a newly recruited prosecutor from the Gotham District Attorney's Office.

I heard that he was originally Gotham City's most famous law firm "Stein & Lockhart Law Firm"

Lawyer, only changed to become a prosecutor because there was no hope of promotion.

Compared with other prosecutors, he is not particularly bad; but compared with other city prosecutors, he is not very good.

Benjamin once chatted with Li Lei about him, saying that Cary is only interested in the winning rate, and other things are not in his consideration.

Perhaps it was because Cary's success rate was so frighteningly high that he was promoted to assistant prosecutor in a short period of time.

Moreover, it is said that Cary's excellent performance has already aroused the interest of the State Attorney's Office, maybe he will leave Gotham City in a while.

"Mr. Argus, I really don't know what I should say, I can only say that what happened to Mr. Domoto Ryoichi was really an accident.

I don't know how or why things happen.

Probably the only thing I can say is that I too was an innocent victim in the whole thing. "

Li Lei thought about it, and tried to speak in a calmer tone.

"is it?"

Kari looked at Li Lei playfully, "Mr. Li, at this moment I am still asking you questions as an acquaintance, but in a few minutes, I will have to interrogate you as a prosecutor.

You are not only an accountant, but also a lawyer. At the same time, you have unexplainable relationships with many underground forces in Gotham City.

Mr. Li, how do you make me believe that you are innocent?

Maybe you are a framed victim, but definitely not innocent. "

Cary took out his mobile phone and opened several messages for Li Lei to read, "During the few 10 minutes when we invited you to the District Prosecutor's Office, the Tang Ben group had conflicts with at least four or five underground forces. A dozen people were killed and dozens more were seriously injured.

Mr. Li, I think you should understand what this means, right?

Gotham City is indeed the capital of crime in the United States, but such serious casualties rarely happen.

Now not only the media in Gotham City has exploded, but other media across the United States are also rushing to come.

I think that in half an hour at most, our Mr. Mayor will appear on the TV with a very headache.

And then our District Attorney will be under double pressure from the mayor and the city council. At that time, no one knows what will happen.

Therefore, as a well-meaning person, I once again advised Mr. Li, if you think of anything, please cooperate with us as soon as possible. "

Of course Li Lei knew that the underground world of Gotham City was not peaceful, but it was still calm on the surface.

Although Gotham City is now very serious about the competition between old and new forces, under the suppression of the old Italian gangs and love gangs, Gotham City is still quite safe on the surface.

But this time, the Domoto team recklessly provoked trouble, just to put pressure on the black and white in Gotham City.

And once the pressure is suppressed, the methods of the Gotham Police and the Gotham District Attorney's Office will not be so clean.

Don't think that the torture of prisoners in Guantanamo is a rare phenomenon. The hands and feet of the police all over the United States have never been cleaned. It depends on whether they can suppress the media from reporting it.

Reason told Li Lei that he should indeed fully cooperate with the people from the local prosecutor's office.

But the problem is that Li Lei really has nothing to cooperate with the local prosecutor's office.

If he exposed the secret transactions of the cousin brother company, then even if the United States Federal Department of Justice launched a witness protection plan for him, he might not be able to leave Gotham City alive, right?

"Mr Argus, if I knew anything I would have told you or the police.

But the problem now is that I don't know anything, what do you want me to explain? "

Li Lei thought about it, and said calmly.

"Of course I know that you are facing great pressure, but isn't the duty of you and the police to defend social justice and protect people's safety?

I cannot and will not make up a story to offer you, so I can only keep silent about your questions.

Mr. Argus, according to the powers given to me by the US government, I would like to call my lawyer now, and hope you can agree to this request. "

"Of course, this is the power given to you by the Communist Party.

However, it is not convenient for us to make a phone call on the street. We will arrange for you to make a call when we arrive at the inquiry room. "

Cary's expression became stiff, and Li Lei was pushed into the District Prosecutor's Office under the signal of his eyes.

After Kali went to the desk at the front desk to sign a few documents, Li Lei was sent to an interrogation room.

The size of the interrogation room is small, especially the seats on both sides of the desk are very close together, which allows the prosecutor to exert more pressure on the person being interrogated.

The interrogation room was well-lit, but closed, and contained nothing but simple chairs and tables.

After being sent into the room, Li Lei could no longer hear any sounds from the outside world.

This is a man-made closed room, because a social animal like human beings is very easy to collapse when isolated from the world; at the same time, sufficient light can make the person being interrogated unable to rest, and people's vigilance is also weakened under extreme fatigue. will be minimized.

Under the double effect, ordinary people will start to get nervous after staying in the interrogation room for half an hour. This is the best time for prosecutors to interrogate.

Although Cary said that he could provide a phone number to Li Lei, it seemed that Li Lei had been forgotten, and no one gave Li Lei the phone number.

Li Lei could only smile wryly at this. After all, Li Lei was not imprisoned, so Li Lei did not have the problem of being released on bail.

Moreover, according to the judicial process in the United States, the local prosecutor's office can indeed detain Li Lei for 24 to 48 hours without reason.

Even if Li Lei's lawyer questioned in court that the District Prosecutor's Office did not provide a phone call in time, the District Prosecutor's Office can justify it as "busy at work"

Put it off, and the judge will not care about this flaw.

So Cary is now betting on Li Lei's ability to endure. As long as Li Lei can't resist this level of pressure, interrogating Li Lei will become extremely easy.

It's a pity that although Cary investigated Li Lei in detail enough, he didn't know that he had been modified by the system.

Li Lei's mental strength has surpassed the peak value of ordinary humans, so this kind of mental pressure is still a child's play for Li Lei.

However, Li Lei didn't intend to make himself look extra special, because he knew that the mirror opposite him was a one-way mirror, and Kari behind the mirror might be watching him, so Li Lei still pretended to have a nervous breakdown.

"Kary, aren't we being too cruel?"

Just behind the one-way mirror, Cary stands next to a black female prosecutor.

Although racial equality has become politically correct in the United States today, it is undeniable that racial discrimination is still a major problem in American society and the workplace that cannot be ignored.

In government public institutions like the District Attorney's Office, black women are often welcomed and protected due to the need for political correctness.

But this has also raised internal doubts about employment fairness and professional ability, because ordinary people may have to achieve 90 points to be promoted, but black women are often promoted as long as they achieve 60 points, so it is not uncommon for professional black women to be questioned justified.

But Genevieve made it this far with her own efforts, but she was not particularly popular in the District Prosecutor's Office because of her sense of justice.

Fortunately, Cary admired Guinevey after joining the job, so Genevieve became Cary's assistant.

"Although his information tells me that he is really an ordinary person; but my intuition tells me that he is not simple at all."

Cary said calmly, "You can pay attention to his eyes, although he is tired but not at all confused, which means that his mental state is very good.

Therefore, the collapsed appearance he is showing now is completely acting for us to see.

If I hadn't taken behavioral psychology and microexpressions as electives in college, I would have been fooled. ——Miss Pine, you observe him for another half an hour, and then send the phone in to him.

Tell him that only one call is allowed. "

"I understand."

Genevieve nodded and said, "Mr. Argus, do you have something to leave?"

"Yes, I guess tomorrow's morning routine meeting may have a good show to watch."

Cary smiled, "In order not to be implicated, I think it's better for me to make some preparations.

By the way, if you have nothing to do tonight, you'd better not go home.

I remember you are in the lounge here, right?

Gotham City is so restless tonight, even the police station is afraid to go out easily. "

While Genevieve and Cary were chatting, a black shadow like a bat flew across the night sky of Gotham.

At the corner of a back alley, a man in night clothes was quietly watching the gangs fighting not far away.

"Ah Fu, how many police reports happened in Gotham City today?

It seems like the gangsters all over Gotham have taken to the streets! "

"That's not surprising, my lord."

A voice said in the man's earphone, "The heir of the Japanese gangster Domoto group was poisoned inexplicably, so we need to find someone to come out and accept punishment.

Oh, by the way, master, the Asian accountant you brought my attention to seems to be involved as well.

At present, the Gotham City District Attorney's Office has regarded him as the number one suspect and is currently being interrogated by the District Attorney's Office.

The reason within the District Prosecutor's Office is that the heir of the Domoto group died in his office, and a lethal dose of meth was found on the water bottle he provided to the heir of the Domoto group. "

"Oh, he was actually involved in this matter?"

The man seemed a little interested, "Where is his office?"

"Master, his office seems a bit evil. If I were you, I suggest you not to approach it."

Ah Fu said, "I heard that an elite claw and a high-level vampire have already missed in that house."
