Next chapter

When, when, when. ↑,.

Outside the office on the third floor of the courthouse, Lawrence reached out and knocked on the door, and stood by the wall on the weekend, both of them waiting, and in the process of looking at each other, both of them seemed to have something to look forward to, eager to step into the judge's office and arrest the murderer directly.

"Please come in."

The moment Erkov's voice came out, Weekend rushed in front of Lawrence and pushed the door in, not to take credit, but to see the judge's neck with his own eyes.

Crunch.

There was a knock on the door, and then a figure appeared in front of the weekend in the office, the man standing next to the hanger with a trench coat in his hand, hanging it on the hanger...... The damn scarf is still around his neck!

"Officer Zhou?"

Erkov looked back and was obviously surprised when he saw the weekend, but he didn't do much, and after hanging up the trench coat in his suit, he walked back to the desk with his bag and said, "Is that your partner?" He was still able to say very kindly: "Please come in, don't stand at the door." ”

He didn't say a word on the weekend, just waiting for Erkov's next move, but he never took off his scarf, and sat firmly behind his desk, not feeling awkward at all.

This scene was about to make Lawrence anxious, and when he walked over, he interjected on the weekend for fear that Lawrence would be too impulsive: "Judge Erkov, we are here to apply for a search warrant, but the judge who often issues a search warrant for us has not yet arrived, and because of the urgency of the case, I have to come to you, after all, I only know two judges in the entire court." ”

There are no loopholes in this remark over the weekend, the police do often encounter emergencies when handling cases, and he has a relationship with Erkov, so the whole sentence is logical.

Lawrence interjected uncontrollably: "Mr. Judge, aren't you hot with a scarf?" ”

"Let's get down to business first." Erkov crossed Lawrence's question in one sentence, but no, the case you said was urgent. That, of course, is the right thing to do.

Erkov continued: "Officer Zhou, the last time we came into contact, it seems that you were still in the Anti-Crime and Anti-Narcotics Bureau, so this case is ......."

"Nope. Judge Elkov, I have been transferred to the Homicide Section, and I am the agent of the Homicide Section, and I am currently handling the 'Justin Murder Case' and the 'Preston Fall Case'. ”

The weekend deliberately spoke out about these two cases, he just wanted to see Erkov after hearing about these two cases. What will be the reaction.

Erkov nodded, without any expression on his face, like every judge, after going through too many similar cases, these cases are no longer human lives in the eyes of these people, just ordinary files, and he has no feeling at all: "Oh, I have heard of these two cases, with all due respect, want me to sign a search warrant for you." You have to tell me the real situation, Officer Zhou, what is the progress of the case? Is there clear evidence of the need for this search? What is the search? ”

He said self-deprecatingly: "Don't mind, after all, this is our first contact at work, otherwise, are you going to search the headquarters of the Department of Homeland Security, and I will also give you a search warrant?" Uh, it's just a joke. ”

He was so professional that Elkov was familiar with the profession, and even after hearing about the "murder of Justin" and the "Preston fall case" with his own ears. The ridicule was made over the weekend, and the content of the ridicule was also a well-known anecdote throughout Los Angeles, and after the media publicized it, everyone knew that Connors was likely to be in the hands of the Department of Homeland Security.

He. Is it really a murderer?

I asked myself again over the weekend, and he didn't see any inappropriate behavior from Erkov, not even a slight flicker of his eyes!

"We got the DNA of the murderer, and we also got the phone number of the vehicle hired by the murderer, and it is likely that the real identity of the murderer was found through the guò phone number. Judge Erkov, can I use your computer? I have all the information in my mailbox. You'll be able to see the progress of your case right away. ”

What else can be said over the weekend?

You can't go up and pull Erkov's scarf and pull it down, right? He had to find another way.

"Mr. Judge." At this time, Lawrence spoke, because he thought of a solution.

As soon as Elkov got up to give up his place and was about to sit on the weekend so that he could look up information in the mailbox, Lawrence's voice happened to appear: "Huh? Erkov looked at Lawrence.

"Have you ever attended a legal conference in Alaska? Is it a private legal meeting held by famous barristers and officials from all over the world to discuss controversial legal cases in society? ”

How did he tell it?

Hearing this, the weekend sighed, and was very dissatisfied with Lawrence's direct approach.

"yes, what's the problem?"

Erkov did not shirk anything, and did not hesitate when he agreed.

"According to the information, the murderer is very likely to be among the people who traveled from Los Angeles to Alaska, according to our investigation, the murderer should have a wound on his neck, Mr. Judge, you are the most respectful person in the whole of Los Angeles for the law and controversy, I don't know if you are willing to take off the scarf and let us see your neck, after all, you went to Alaska."

For a moment, the room fell into an eerie silence, and when Erkov looked at Lawrence, he did not show any offended anger, at least on the weekend, he did not see anything from him, which seemed a little abnormal for a judge of extremely high status.

"This ...... Mr. Detective, are you suspicious of me? ”

Weekend hurriedly said: "Mr. Judge, he didn't mean that......"

Lawrence gritted his teeth and said, "That's what I meant!" ”

Erkov stood beside him and looked at him and said, "Do you think so too?" Officer Zhou? ”

Weekend would love to drag the progress bar straight to the beginning of this story, and if he could, he would never take Lawrence with him, wouldn't he be roasting himself on the fire?

No wonder many people who are leaders don't look at those reckless young people, have you ever thought about where to put the leader when you embody your own ideas and strengthen your beliefs to gamble on the hot future?

It's like a doctor in a hospital who says to a patient that the success rate of the operation is more than 95%, and the patient will be immediately relieved, but they don't know the truth, even if the doctor says that the chance of success is 99%, it is actually equal to 50%, because the patient has a 50% chance of becoming that 1%. What to do then? Do you let the leader cry with you holding your plan for 99% success?

But what else can be said after the matter has come to this? The current situation is simply difficult to ride a tiger!

"That's right, Mr. Judge, that's what I thought, too."

“ok。”

Erkov took off his scarf little by little, and when he saw that the other party's movements were not muddy or watery on the weekend, he knew that there was no play. When the scarf was lifted, both Weekend and Lawrence locked onto his neck, and in a position where they could both see, there was a band-aid attached to it!

Weekend's heart suddenly jumped, he felt that this thing was not quite right, the band-aid could not stop the wound, no knife could pierce so deep like a needle without leaving a long wound, for a knife wound, especially a cut, the length and depth are proportional, otherwise, it is likely to be a stab wound, but people describe this kind of injury as 'cutting the artery' instead of 'stabbing the artery'.

"Get down!"

Lawrence reacted completely differently than he did on the weekend, he pulled out his gun directly from the back of the waist and said to Erkov: "Get down, you bastard who made me stay up all night." ”

"What are you doing Lawrence!"

Weekend immediately shouted: "Put the gun down!" ”

"Zhou, he's the murderer." Lawrence is still explaining.

"Shut up!"

Weekend hurriedly stopped in front of Erkov and said: "Mr. Judge, I am sorry for Lawrence's offense, I will definitely punish him when I go back, I will." ”

Lawrence was stupid.

Erkov shook his head and said, "No, I appreciate his dedication to justice, and I was about to open the Band-Aid to show him." ”

"Look." Erkov didn't care what he said on the weekend and uncovered the Band-Aid, and on his neck, there was a stamp on his neck that even an adult understood meant...... Strawberry prints.

At this end of the week, he finally saw what he wanted to see, and he saw Erkov's smile full of satisfaction, but he couldn't fully release it!

The weekend will never forget this smile, this sense of release, when he pointed a pistol at Adam at the top of the rooftop of the Cecil Hotel, he rushed directly to the depths of his mind, that kind of coolness, like an electric current sweeping every skin on his body in an instant, comfortable so unique!!

"Now, can we continue?" Erkov turned around, he generously dared to let the two policemen see the strawberry mark on his neck, but he was stingy and unwilling to let the weekend look at his eyes and smile!

Lawrence stood in the distance and changed his name with a gun: "You, you were with the woman last night......"

"Yes, last night, I was with a Spanish girl who didn't care...... I'm a man, aren't I. Erkov replied as he turned around, reaching out to hang his scarf in disguise, and when he turned back, his facial expression was back to normal.

Weekend hurriedly pushed Lawrence out of the office, and looked back embarrassedly: "I'm sorry Judge Erkov, we are still, wait for the police to come and apply for a search warrant." (To be continued.) )
