"This bastard! He probably expected that he would not be so simple and competent, so he joined the other lawyers. ”

"What else to consider? Just put pressure on the law firm they belong to, anyway, the business handled by these law firms can't be all clean. ”

"That's a good idea!"

"So what are you waiting for, we have to contact the people from the Ministry of Justice as soon as possible. ”

……

But when several high-ranking officials were discussing and preparing to come up with a way to get rid of Mitchell and the others, the only man sitting behind the desk, that is, the deputy director of the CIA, suddenly shouted: "You have all ignored the point of the problem, according to our records, this Hou Rui has no immediate family, wife and children, so who found these annoying flies?"

"Could it be a friend?" a high-ranking official was stunned for a moment, and then replied assumingly.

"What we have carried out against Hou Rui is a secret arrest, what friends can know about our actions? According to common sense, shouldn't anyone know that he is in Washington, D.C., and does not know that he is in the building under our feet?"

"Director, you don't mean to say that someone inside us has leaked information, right?"

“…… Anyway, these lawyers are too strange, who hired them, who paid behind the scenes, we have to find out all these things. ”

"......" When the other senior officials under him were deep in thought, the deputy director, who was known as the "strongman" within the CIA because of his toughness, continued to say: "As long as this is a correct arrest, then all the people related to Hou Rui are likely to be members of the "Shadow" organization, so none of us can easily let go." ”

"I understand the director, I will immediately go down and have a good chat with them, and if I find any flaws, I will immediately throw them into the 20th floor. With that, the guy who had been about to shoot Mitchell in the face immediately left the office and took the elevator to a small conference room on the third floor.

A moment later, the three lawyers led by Mitchell were directly brought in by the security personnel and sat in front of the senior officials of the investigation team.

"Where is Mr. Hou Rui? I'm not chatting with some idle people, I want to see my client. Mitchell's arrogance was still very arrogant, and he came up sarcastically at the official.

But the official who claimed to kill Mitchell had good cultivation, except for quietly clenching his fists, he still replied with a smile on his face: "Hello Mr. Mitchell, I am Gray in charge of the outreach of the joint investigation team, and I think it is likely to be a misunderstanding about Mr. Hou Rui." ”

"Misunderstanding? What does this mean? You're not admitting to arresting the wrong person, are you?"

"Not really!"

"Then when you say this, are you denying it, trying to say that people are not in your hands? I advise you to save it, the reception staff at your front desk has just admitted that Mr. Hou Rui is in this building at the moment, and you don't want to deceive me. Mitchell grabbed a little and didn't let go.

"......" obviously predetermined the plan, that is, pretending to be stupid and denying that it could not be carried out anyway, so the official named Gray turned cold and began to put on an official tone and said: "We did arrest a Chinese man named Hou Rui, but Mr. Mitchell, when were you hired to be his lawyer? Can you show me the power of attorney?"

"No, no, no, I need to correct that I was not hired by Mr. Hou Rui, I was actually hired by Miss Ida Coco to provide legal advice to Mr. Hou Rui. But Mitchell explained to Gray with a wagging finger.

"Ada, Miss Coco, who is she?" suddenly asked for a new name, Gray was naturally overjoyed, and at this time, after the monitoring personnel reported and quickly included this Ada Coco in the latest investigation list, Gray himself had to continue to ask and try to dig up more information.

"As far as I know, Miss Coco is Mr. Hou Rui's girlfriend, and they have not been together for a long time, but Miss Coco is willing to pay this fee for Mr. Hou Rui. As he spoke, Mitchell deliberately pointed his finger at his chest and at the two fellow lawyers behind him.

"I actually hired three lawyers to come over at the same time, this Miss Coco ...... her"

"Anyway, you will also investigate, so I will tell you frankly! Miss Coco's family runs hotels, high-end women's clothing, and leather goods, and she herself is a very talented photographer like Mr. Hou Rui. ”

"I see, that is, the kind of person who is born with a trust fund and can travel around the world casually.

"That's right!"

"But there is one thing I don't understand, how did this Miss Coco learn about Mr. Hou Rui's arrest, and how did you, Mr. Mitchell, find this building? Did someone leak the sensitive information of the joint investigation team to you?" Speaking of this, Gray's eyes narrowed slightly, and his face was full of obscenity, as if he was inadvertently exchanging some information with Mitchell.

"Oh, dear Mr. Gray, are you accusing me? Accusing me of bribing federal law enforcement officers? You heard it, and you should have heard it, so the next thing that goes on is, Mr. Gray, you're going to be in bad luck, because you're probably going to face a private lawsuit for defamation. ”

It's a pity that Mitchell didn't fall for it, but took the opportunity to kill Gray's army who tried to get the news, and of course, the other two fellow lawyers sitting next to him became the most reliable witnesses.

“…… Mr. Mitchell, put away your bluffing set, this is not an ordinary investigation, how much and how deep the "double flash" incident has caused to this country, in the face of the anger of the whole country, do you think your little trick to attract the attention of the people will still work this time? If you want to sue me, then come, the CIA, the FBI, the Department of Homeland Security, and of course the US government, we have countless lawyers to play with you, and then do you think the judge will be on your side, or on our side!"

Annoyed and angry, Gray finally roared, because he was telling the truth, so Mitchell's arrogance finally disappeared, but then Mitchell said solemnly to Gray with a smiling demeanor: "I reserve the right to sue you for defamation, because my employer is still waiting for me, I need to get down to business first, and I need to be worthy of my lawyer's fees." ”

"Don't dream, we won't let you meet Hou Rui, he's the biggest terrorist ever. After a long time of idle talk, Gray already had the information he needed, so he wanted to send Mitchell and the others away.

But Mitchell and the others obviously didn't give up so easily, and then Mitchell first turned his head, and after seeing the other two lawyers around him, all with firm expressions, Mitchell said to Gray:

"I can only say now that our source of information is absolutely legitimate, and it is precisely because this is a case that the whole world has paid attention to, so your joint investigation team must be more careful, if there is any mistake in this case, it will not be a simple scandal, Mr. Gray, you don't want to stay in a remote base in Alaska for the rest of your life. ”

"Mr. Mitchell, what do you mean by that?"

"Isn't this clear enough, I already have conclusive evidence to clear your suspicions about Mr. Hou Rui, and if you continue to delay and prevent me from meeting with my client, the final result can only be out of control. ”

"Nonsense! It's impossible. ”

"Believe it or not, as long as we walk out of this building, we will immediately announce the evidence we have, break the news to the news media, and break the news to the governments of all over the world, and then the headline will be used: The United States investigates the nuclear explosion, and the investigation team concocts unjust, false and wrongful cases, Mr. Gray, what do you think?"

"I don't believe you must be bluffing. ”

"Hey, hey, you just say yes, anyway, you let me see my client, and after he signs the document and officially appoints me as his lawyer, I will come up with that evidence, but if you continue to illegally detain my client, then I have no choice but to break the news and correct your mistake as soon as possible." ”

“……”

"Frankly, Mr. Gray, I have a huge bomb in my hands, and it's up to you to decide whether your team wants to take it back and examine it, or let me find a random place to detonate it. At this point, Mitchell finally finished telling all his intentions, and then looked at Gray patiently.

As a result, Gray, who was forced into a dilemma by Mitchell, hesitated for a moment, and then looked up at the camera in the corner of the conference room, when Gray saw the small red light under the camera, and suddenly flashed twice, he quickly got up and said to Mitchell and the three: "I'm sorry, this matter is too involved, I need to discuss it with my superiors, you guys...... Let's just wait here!"

"Please!" Mitchell replied generously at this time, because he understood that the person who can really make decisions is not this character who is easily pushed out, and a tongue can of course speak through the command of the brain.

Soon, when Gray returned to the 22nd floor, as soon as he entered the room, he saw several of his colleagues, who were arguing fiercely in two factions, and the strongman deputy director who was in charge of the joint investigation team, he was silent.

Now that Gray has come up, the strongman deputy director finally said loudly: "Okay, let's be quiet, it's useless for us to quarrel here, the situation has been reported to the White House, and the president will make a decision, whether to let Hou Rui see the lawyer and introduce this investigation into the public eye." ”
