Soon three days passed, three days later, one morning, Zhou Ming drove to the teahouse outside Chinatown, this time it was lawyer Allen who arrived first, but when Zhou Ming came to the private seat he set under the guidance of the waiter, he found that the barrister was drinking a cup of steaming milk tea here, and he also unconsciously recommended to Zhou Ming: "Hey Zhou, it turns out that you can also add milk to tea?" The taste of this milk tea is much better than before. ”

Zhou Ming could only shrug helplessly: "If you like it, it's fine." ”

Zhou Ming sat down opposite Allen, and the waiter also served him and the bodyguard** a cup of milk tea each, Zhou Ming thanked the waiter, and then asked Allen: "What's the matter with being so anxious to find me today?"

Alan put down his glass and said, "Mr. Zhou Ming, there are actually two not-so-good news for you, the first is that Mr. Wharton filed a complaint with the court, and he sued us for the acquisition in violation of commercial regulations, and demanded a claim for commercial fraud, and the amount was two million dollars. ”

Zhou Ming smiled: "Two million dollars, this Mr. Wharton really dares to speak, and I don't know who violated the law and business ethics, this matter is not so important when I think about it, so what about one more thing?"

"Mr. Wharton's matter is really not that important, because whether it is according to commercial law or according to the contract, he violated the law first, so this lawsuit is a rookie lawyer who has just entered the industry, and I am 100% confident that I can win him even if I go to the Supreme Court!"

Speaking of this, Allen's momentum suddenly weakened, and he continued: "But another thing is a little more difficult, it is about the Brighton Public Prosecutor's Office, they have decided to drop the indictment against Little Brooke. ”

"Withdraw the indictment? Why is this and who made the decision?" Zhou Ming asked.

"It was Deputy Attorney General Clarke's decision, and as for the reason, it seems that it was under pressure from above, and I just heard from a friend of mine in the prosecutor's office, and I haven't investigated it yet. Allen said.

Zhou Ming said: "I know, then Lawyer Allen, can you please help me make an appointment with Deputy Prosecutor General Clark? I think we need to have a good talk with him face-to-face." ”

Allen nodded and said yes, and after the meeting, he went to make an appointment with Clark, this Allen barrister is worthy of being the most famous barrister in Massachusetts, and in just two days, he asked Clark out, and on the third day they made an appointment to meet at the sports center in downtown Brighton.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Zhou Ming and Allen came to the tennis hall of the sports center, and in the lounge, Zhou Ming and Allen met the deputy prosecutor general.

"Playing tennis is a sport that requires a lot of physical strength and stamina, because when you play tennis, you need to run constantly on the court, and many times this is the case in court and litigation, and lawyer Allen and I are ready to face any lawsuit we need to face to the end. Zhou Ming looked at Clark and asked, "But I heard that Mr. Deputy Prosecutor General, you said that you want to drop the prosecutor's office against Little Brooke's fraud charges, can you tell me why?"

"Looks like I'm going to check if my office has your bugs installed, otherwise you'd find out so quickly. Clark was changing into his tracksuit at this time, and his tone was more casual, "That's right, I'm going to drop the charges against Little Brooke, the reason is simple, the evidence is insufficient, we can't convict him, so there is no need for this lawsuit to continue." ”

"So Mr. Deputy Prosecutor General, are you going to throw in the towel to Senator Brook?" Zhou Ming asked.

Clark smiled: "Admit defeat? Mr. Zhou Ming, your words are really strange, do you think there is a need for this case to continue? The only two witnesses you have have have also been overturned by the other party, and even a certain scandal has been exposed, although I don't care about the reputation of the university or the university teacher, but this case really has no basis for the existence of facts." ”

"Is there no basis for the existence of facts, or is it that you have been pressured from some quarters, Deputy Procurator General?" Zhou Ming asked again.

Faced with Zhou Ming's question, Clark immediately stopped what he was doing, his eyes were stern and forced to look at Zhou Ming, and Zhou Ming looked at Clark without fear.

"Chinese, I really should take you to court so that no one will trouble me." Clark said.

"Indeed, Deputy Prosecutor General, if you do this, you can control the case on your own, prosecute if you want, withdraw the prosecution if you want, and no one can interfere with you. Zhou Ming said-for-tat.

"Chinese, let me tell you, I did this for a reason, our prosecutor's office is taking taxpayers' money and helping taxpayers, and we can't use our power for no reason in cases that we know are hopeless! Unlike your poisonous vegetable country, you can convict whoever you want, and a county magistrate can have the power to shoot others!" Clark stretched out his hand and pointed at Zhou Ming viciously.

Zhou Ming pursed his lips, suddenly reached out and patted Clarke's shoulder and said lightly: "Okay, my deputy prosecutor, I don't think we have to fight over this issue like a child, let's talk about what happened." ”

Clark was unprepared for the sudden change in Zhou Ming's tone, and he was stunned for a while before saying, "I really don't understand what you, a Chinese, are thinking in your head, but forget it, you come here with me." ”

After speaking, Clark took Zhou Ming and Allen to the corner of the dressing room, and then said to Zhou Ming: "Chinese, I can tell you that just the day before yesterday, the mayor of Brighton called me and asked about this case, he was very curious why a case with no evidence was still being litigated, and the city government was ready to investigate it to see if there were any violations in the prosecutor's office." ”

Clark immediately continued: "However, I withdrew the case not because of the mayor's phone call, but because I thought there was no hope of winning the case, not one percent." ”

"There was no physical evidence in this case, only a few witnesses, but these witnesses ...... Oh my God, when did I start naively believing that someone could be convicted. "Of all the evidence, the testimony of the witnesses is the least convincing, because the defense lawyer can ask questions by any means necessary, and any experienced lawyer can grab any loophole at any time and attack it, you know, it's always easier to question than to answer." ”

"So the deputy prosecutor is holding back?" Zhou Ming asked.

Clark scolded Farke and said: "Chinese, I will say it again, I am not backing down, but this case Little Brooke can no longer be convicted, you know?

"Deputy Attorney General, please don't be so excited, I am indeed still familiar with your American laws, but I am here today just to tell you an old Chinese saying, persistence is victory, as long as one thing can persist to the end, there will always be miracles, don't you Americans always believe in Lady Luck?" Zhou Ming said.

"Oh my God, why should I talk to a Chinese about this, you don't understand what law is. ”

Clark pulled his hair and said a little frantically: "Listen to the Chinese, I don't care what grievances there are between you and Little Brooke, and I don't care about any bullshit old Chinese sayings, I only know that I am my own deputy prosecutor general, and this case is also the responsibility of the prosecutor's office, it is a case that needs to be supported by evidence, and now that there is no evidence, the prosecutor's office will naturally withdraw the prosecution." ”

"And you," Clark pointed at Zhou Ming and said, "If you want to continue to carry out the lawsuit to the end for your revenge, then please continue, I will not accompany you, and I will not even applaud you, because this is a very, very, very stupid thing, so I will emphasize it three times, and I also know that in the end you will definitely lose the case, and the lawyer Allen in charge of this case will become a laughing stock, and you will even be countersued by the other party." ”

"In the end, I just want to say to you, go to your persistence is victory, go to your miracle, go to your goddess of luck, this case has nothing to do with me and the prosecutor's office, you have to be fools and ask yourself to take care of yourself. Clark added, "Also, don't look for me again, because I don't want to see you again." ”

After saying that, Clark turned around and left, leaving only Zhou Ming and Alan looking at each other on the same ground.

"I should have thought that since Old Brooke is a senator from Massachusetts, and since he can dine with our presiding judge, he must have a very different relationship in Brighton, and it is not so troublesome to find the mayor to intervene administratively. Alan said with some annoyance.

Zhou Ming said: "I don't think there is any need to be angry, because it is inevitable, and if they didn't have the upper hand in the trial, I don't think even the mayor would have thought of interfering in the work of the judiciary." ”

"That's right, it's all a matter of the trial, if it's not this issue, even if it's the mayor, if he wants to interfere in the judicial work, he will be impeached and removed from office immediately. Alan said and sighed, "But the trial is a big problem, can we really turn the situation around?"

Zhou Ming smiled: "Lawyer Allen, why are you so unconfident? Deputy Prosecutor General, he doesn't believe that I have extenuating circumstances, but you know what I'm going to do." ”

"But now they have the support of the judge and the mayor, and the witness testimony has been overturned, and the old Brooke is a cunning politician, and everything is quite bad for us, and if the old Brooke mobilizes the media ......again," Allen shook his head, "and it's no wonder that Deputy Attorney General Clark is in a hurry to drop the case." ”

Zhou Ming patted Allen on the shoulder and said, "Okay, my barrister, don't think about this question yet, you are my lawyer, you won't want to lose again in the hands of Sapiro, right?"

"Of course not. Alan said subconsciously.

"So you just give me a good job, do you remember what I told you? Desperate places can survive, now that we are standing in a desperate situation, then we can win!" Zhou Ming said, "Also, since we are here today, let's play a good game of tennis, I don't, you teach me." ”
