I love you, I won't kill you

In the reception room of the Los Angeles County Men's Detention Center, a dull-looking black-haired, yellow-skinned man was sitting in front of the glass window of the call cubicle.

When Julie sat unhurriedly across the call window with her briefcase, a look of hope and salvation flashed from the eyes of the Chinese man.

"Ms. Mitchell, I'm sorry to disturb you on Sunday morning." The Chinese man said.

"Hmm, I don't mind. Alright, let's talk." Julie sat back in the chair and said calmly.

"I wonder how the judge will decide my case."

"Well. Under normal circumstances, it is unlikely that you will regain custody and custody of your daughter."

"Why? I...I have realized that I have committed the serious crime of disturbing the police and resisting arrest. But why can't I get my own daughter?" When the Chinese man was so excited that he wanted to stand up, he was caught The prison guard held it down.

"Calm down, er, Mr. Wang." After thinking about it for a while, Julie remembered the name of the person involved.

It cannot be blamed on her, bad memory or prejudice against Chinese people.Since becoming a Level 1 lawyer in the Long Beach City Public Defender's Office (the acting public defender lawyers are divided into Levels 1-4), the average number of cases that need to be handled every day has reached more than 30.

Julie said lightly, "If you think I can't help you, I can find you a private lawyer. The cheapest one costs $400 an hour."

The Chinese man said in frustration, "No. I'm sorry, Ms. Mitchell. You know, my family and income situation."

"Well, I know. A single father who gave everything to bring up his own daughter. But this is America, and you have to obey the laws here. Understand?"

"I understand. But there are a lot of parents in my hometown who do that."

"Male father bathing 4-year-old daughter? No, Mr. Wang. If you still insist on this point of view, I think I can get out of this place."

"Please, Ms. Mitchell. Well, tell me what to do?" the Chinese man begged.

"Listen. The charge of 'child abuse', I mean sexual assault, cannot be withdrawn. Your daughter, will be sent to a foster home. However, I can apply to the judge to allow you to visitation rights."

Then, Julie said, "Regarding the two charges of 'disturbing police law enforcement' and 'resisting arrest', as long as you are willing to plead guilty and sign a plea agreement with the district attorney, I think the maximum sentence will be 6 months in prison or one year's imprisonment. community service."

"I plead guilty, I plead guilty. Please, get me out of here quickly. If I stay any longer, I don't think I will be able to see my own daughter again in my life." The Chinese man said eagerly.

Twenty minutes later, Julie walked out the gate of the men's detention center.With another drug possession case in hand, she will go to the Metropolitan Detention Center on East Alameda Avenue to meet with the client from the inner city who hid the drug.

At 10:48 a.m., she finally finished what was supposed to be done during the workday.Standing in the outdoor parking lot of the Metropolitan Detention Center with a relaxed face, he tried his best to relax his nerves.

That's right, today's dress, the content of the defense case, the names of the parties and their family members really messed up her whole Sunday vacation mood.In order to avoid hurting the kindness of her ex-girlfriend, she could only relax quickly.

Three months ago, when she was defending a drug case, she accidentally heard Colleen's name.According to the female drug addict's later recollection, she also met a Hollywood "star" during her detoxification in the drug rehabilitation center.

As for this famous star, she didn't know how famous she was. She only vaguely remembered that the famous star seemed to be called Colleen.Driven by a kind of curiosity, Julie quickly discovered the fact that this "celebrity" was her close friend and ex-girlfriend Colleen Fergus when she was studying at Yale through her contact with the drug rehabilitation center.

As she got into her $5.58 Infiniti SUV, she got another call from Colleen, "Honey, what are you doing?"

"Well, I just got out of the Metropolitan Detention Center."

"Damn it, God. You're working on Sunday off?"

"Well, surprise, isn't it?"

"Yes. But, from what I know of you, it's normal."

Julie shook her head and smiled, "Really? Well, what time is it?"

Colleen said, "Four minutes to 4am. Now, where are you?"

"I'm still in the parking lot of the Metropolitan Detention Center."

"Come on, come to me."

"I am on my way."

朱莉很快把车驶上5号公路，继而转道朝101号公路驶去。这段长达98.2英里、耗时1小时45分钟的路程，将把她带到洛杉矶西北面的加州太平洋岸城市--圣塔芭芭拉市。

Not only does Santa Barbara rank No. 10 in the top 4 ideal places to live for the rich in the United States, but it also ranks among the top 10 restaurant cities selected by Forbes.The high average ownership rate of personal chefs and personal butlers here is one of the characteristics that other wealthy residences do not have.

Mild climate, fresh air, soft sandy beaches, clear sea water, stretches of woods and blooming bird-of-paradise flowers, superior living environment, good social order and sound entertainment facilities have made the rich and wealthy all over the United States, Celebrities and celebrities flock to it.

Beverly Hills, the former wealthy residential area in Los Angeles, has long been familiar to rich people from Latin America, South America, Europe, the Middle East, and even Russia, South Korea, and China with a lot of gray income.

Since the Federal Constitution allows them to come to the United States to buy real estate or settle in Beverly Hills, the Hollywood stars and socialites who originally belonged here will naturally look for a piece of "Elysium" that can reflect their own charm and value.

Santa Barbara, once a Spanish colony, had a great chance to be reborn again after the 1925 earthquake, and it even made President John F. Kennedy choose to spend his honeymoon here in 1953.

From 1981 to 1989, the Reagan House in the Northwest once again became the focus of world attention.President Reagan received Queen Elizabeth II, a descendant of Gorbachev of Far East Russia and the Anglo-Saxon family (Commonwealth Kingdom) in his "West White House"...

Santa Barbara, with its rich history, is now admired by Hollywood celebrities, Los Angeles and people in the desert cities east of the Santa Yates Mountains.This land, which was first discovered by the Spanish explorer Sebastian Vizecheno in the past, has become the best place for ordinary people to spend their weekends.

The residence of Colleen and her husband, a Hollywood producer, is located at 1040 Terrace Road on the hillside of the Northern Riviera.The entire residence is condescending, and standing on the outdoor balcony, you can enjoy the distant Santa Barbara beach, the vast sea view, and the boundless coastline.

Spanish modern style house, four bedrooms, three bathrooms, five bathrooms, vaulted ceilings, hardwood floors, large kitchen and dining room, spacious and bright outdoor activity terrace.There is also the solar-heated swimming pool in the back garden, which makes people feel fascinated by it.

Drive along the winding mountain road all the way up the hillsides planted with various trees, flowers and plants on both sides. After passing countless high-end residences with or without private swimming pools, Julie drives the car to the middle of a low white wall on the left. In front of the "mini" iron fence.

The two fence gates opened to the inside and left and right, and several two-door sports cars and luxury four-door sedans were parked on the parking lot in the yard covered with dark red bricks.However, in front of the Ferrari 09Italia, which was unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September 9, all these modern two-door sports cars are like automobile products from 458 years ago.
