"Hello Mr. Brooke, I am Mr. Zhou Ming's lawyer, my name is Allen, although I don't know what unfriendly things have happened between you and Mr. Zhou Ming, and I don't know how serious the case you want to inquire about, but I think that no matter how serious the situation is, the power granted to the people in this land by the U.S. Constitution will always be the same. ”

Alan came in and faced the room full of people who looked at him in surprise first expressed his attitude, and Old Brooke over there also came back to his senses at this time: "Of course, you are the lawyer of this Chinese who has the right to be present, but can you explain to me, what is this thing in your hand?"

Zhou Ming answered this question instead of Allen: "Hasn't Councilor Brooke seen it before? ”

"Of course I've seen it, I'm not an idiot, I don't need you to teach me this question, I'm asking what you're doing with this thing? I don't remember giving anyone permission to record it!"

Old Brooke yelled at Zhou Ming, he was really angry, as a member of the state legislature, his job is to legislate and conduct judicial and administrative supervision, usually he educates others, but today he has been educated twice in a row, especially Zhou Ming's words made Old Brooke angry: Could it be that my own senator in a dignified state legislature has never seen a civilian camera?

However, Zhou Ming didn't care how old Brooke was angry, or if his purpose was to make him angry, Zhou Ming said to him: "I'm sorry Mr. Brooke, it's not a question of whether you authorize it or not, but whether I assert my own power." ”

After Zhou Ming, Allen also said: "Mr. Brooke, this is not a formal FBI investigation, but an informal investigation initiated by a parliamentary committee, according to Massachusetts law, the committee has the power to subpoena hearings, but not the power to compel the recording of hearings, if Mr. Brooke does not want the hearing to be recorded, then I suggest that Mr. Brooke can first submit a mandatory application to the Parliament." ”

Listening to Allen's words, Zhou Ming smiled in his heart, he thought that the White House legal counsel in the future was really powerful, and he could actually cooperate with himself to say such a cheap thing, but it was reasonable and justified to make the opponent helpless.

Zhou Ming was happy here, but Old Brooke was so angry that he vomited blood, as a senior senator, of course he knew that the committee did not belong to the judiciary, so he had no other power except for compulsory hearings, but generally no one would think of taking a camera to record the whole process during the hearing and trial, right? Of course, Old Brook understood that he could indeed apply first, but he didn't want to wait for a moment, and wanted to convict Zhou Ming immediately!

Old Brooke stretched out his finger and pointed at Zhou Ming and Alan for a long time before a sentence popped out from between his teeth: "You are flouting the committee and the parliament! I will complain to the bar association to revoke your lawyer's license!"

Alan didn't care about Old Brooke's threat: "It's your right, but I haven't violated any of the lawyers' code of conduct, so I don't think your complaint will be successful." ”

Zhou Ming also interjected at this time: "We don't care what you want to do, Mr. Brooke, but I just want to ask if today's hearing continues? If you need to go back and apply for a mandatory disapproval of the hearing record, I will leave first, I have ordered all the dishes over there, hundreds of thousands of US dollars, if you don't eat it, it will be too wasteful, this is the food that God has given us." ”

Old Brooke couldn't listen to Zhou Ming's heresy anymore, and he finally shouted angrily: "Go on! This hearing must continue!"

After getting Old Brook's reply, Zhou Ming nodded with satisfaction, and then said to Allen: "Lawyer Allen, please set up the camera and choose a better angle." ”

Zhou Ming said and glanced at Mueller again and said: "Deputy Director Mueller, please help me find an angle for my lawyer, after all, you are more professional in this area, I know you may be a little reluctant, but this is also to ensure the fairness and openness of this hearing, and also to start as soon as possible, Mr. Brooke, I think we don't want to delay time here, right?"

The one who delays the most time is obviously you!

Mueller and Old Brook shouted in their hearts at the same time, "You can just answer questions here for this hearing, but what kind of camera do you want to bring in, isn't it okay to find trouble?"

Mueller really regrets taking on this case now, he would have known that it would be good to throw it to the following agent, why should he want to make up for it in front of Old Brooke? Even if he grabbed it with his own hands and released it now, it is impossible for him to come to trouble, after all, he has acted according to the rules, and has not exceeded his authority or had other illegal operations.

As a result, now that I have caught this Chinese in, I am simply finding a God for myself to come back, I can't beat him or scold him, now it's good, I have to help him set up a camera.

Lao Tzu is the deputy director of the FBI Massachusetts Bureau, not your domestic servant!

Muller's heart was galloping past with 10,000 grass and mud horses, but no matter how dissatisfied he was in his heart, he was reluctant to help Alan set up the camera, after all, he still wanted to end this nightmare hearing as soon as possible.

Seeing that the camera was set up, Zhou Ming greeted the camera first and tried the camera, and only after getting Allen's affirmative answer did he ask Old Brooke: "Okay, Mr. Brooke, can we start now?"

This made old Brooke want to jump to his feet and scold his mother, what do you mean that we can start now? No, you have been grinding and chirping? Why is it still up to us now?

Old Brooke was tempted to scold me for saying that I had never seen such a brazen person, but finally gave up after thinking about it, after all, there was still business to be done.

So Old Brooke took a deep breath and calmed down his excitement before he said: "Hello Mr. Zhou Ming, I am Senator Brooke, this time I was entrusted by the Securities Regulatory Commission to investigate the stock price case of Deep Blue Airlines, you know that in the previous period, the stock price of Deep Blue Airlines was very unstable, and we have reason to suspect that he was artificially manipulated." ”

With the opening of Old Brooke, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became a little weird, because everyone was a person who understood, including Deputy Director Mueller, who handled the case himself, everyone knew what was going on, but they just pretended to be confused.

In the end, Old Brooke himself felt very awkward to say it, so he quickly ended this opening remark and threw a question directly to Zhou Ming: "Then please Mr. Zhou Ming answer positively, how did you manipulate the stock of Deep Blue Airlines?"

A question was shocking to the audience, no one expected that Old Brooke would come up with such a problem, which was equivalent to directly putting Zhou Ming in the position of a prisoner, although the FBI often played some clever tricks during the interrogation process, deliberately set a language trap for the prisoner to lure the prisoner into the bait, especially in economic crimes, but no one would be as direct as Old Brook.

Allen immediately stood up and said, "I object, Mr. Brooke, you are directly convicting my client in disguise, and I think my client has the right to refuse to answer this question!"

"The objection is invalid, Mr. Zhou Ming must answer. Old Brooke said unhurriedly, "Because according to the materials held by the committee members, Mr. Zhou Ming has the most direct relationship with the stock price changes of Deep Blue Airlines." ”

Old Brooke picked up the materials at hand as he spoke: "On Thursday, April 1st, you held a press conference with Mark, the chairman of Deep Blue Airlines, and publicly announced the investment of 30 million, right? This is the newspaper of April 1st, you can't deny it, and in addition, the committee has reason to believe that you and Mark have more insider trading in addition to 30 million. ”

After Old Brooke finished speaking, he showed the newspaper in his hand to Allen, and Allen immediately retorted: "This is a malicious speculation without reason, the 30 million investment is an investment decision made by my client after reaching an agreement with Deep Blue Airlines, which is a legitimate business operation and is completely legal!"

"I didn't say that this investment was illegal, I just said that Mr. Zhou Ming had a lot of insider trading outside of this. ”

Old Brook then asked: "Mr. Zhou Ming, I know that you came into contact with Deep Blue Airlines through Rogers, the key account manager of Brighton Bank and Securities, so how do you explain that after you successfully invested in Deep Blue Airlines, many of Rogers' customers followed up on the investment? Is this some kind of unethical behind-the-scenes transaction between you and Rogers' manager? ”

This time, it was Alan who objected in place of Zhou Ming: "Mr. Brooke, I think there is something wrong with the way you inquire, if you suspect that Rogers has disclosed information to his client, then you should summon Rogers Manager, not my client." ”

With a snap, Old Brooke slapped the table hard, and just as he was about to say something, he saw the camera that was taking pictures next to him, and finally couldn't help but suppress his anger and said: "Lawyer Allen, I hope you can understand that this is just a matter of the order of investigation, as the person in charge of this case, I have the right to decide the order of investigation, and I just think that your client, Mr. Zhou Ming, should be the first to be investigated." ”

Allen wanted to say something, but Old Brooke said first: "Lawyer Allen, I hope you can understand that this is a hearing of the Securities Regulatory Commission, not a debate, and if Mr. Zhou Ming repeatedly refuses to answer all questions, the committee has the right to take further coercive measures!"

"You're persecuting and threatening, you're violating the rules of freedom to investigate at hearings!" Allen said.

Old Brooke was not moved at all: "As you said, you can go to the parliament to complain to me afterwards, but now, this Chinese must answer all the questions I ask truthfully!"

Old Brooke stretched out his hand and pointed at Zhou Ming, which made Alan feel very anxious and annoyed, because he was completely a rogue act, as an investigator entrusted by the committee, how could he do things with his own personal emotions like this? Obviously, he was targeting Zhou Ming, trying every possible way to convict Zhou Ming, and even did not hesitate to use this scoundrel method of splashing and rolling, but then again, Alan really couldn't do anything about him.

No, no matter what the situation, there is always a solution to anything, and I will definitely be able to help my client come up with a solution!

Just when Alan was scratching his ears and cheeks to find a way, Zhou Ming spoke: "Since that's the case, then okay, Mr. Brooke, I'll answer you." ”
