Chapter Twenty-Three: Mastery - Level Up!
The night was lit up by white lights in the interrogation room of the Anti-Crime and Anti-Narcotics Section of the Detective Bureau, where Weekend and Nick were sitting opposite Berezov and the lawyer next to him, and a very interesting conversation began. At that time, the two sides were supposed to compete who had a deeper understanding of the laws of the United States, and ran out of various words that ordinary people usually couldn't understand on the highly professional topic of criminal prosecution transactions, but he went off track when he played on the weekend, and after he played the other party's lawyer in a daze, he opened the hole card, and it was written 'Lao Tzu didn't want to play the legal provisions with you'.
"Hello two police officers, I'm Berezov's lawyer, Benjamin, and my client is willing to take responsibility for the transportation line where Beverly Hills was arrested, and he is the supplier of that transportation line, that is, he is willing to plead guilty to the crime of drug trafficking. Mr. Officer, on behalf of my client, on the basis of the basic principle of saving state resources, I would like to discuss with the authorities whether it is possible to enter into a criminal prosecution transaction, and we want to obtain a minimum sentence, because in the course of drug trafficking, my client has not committed serious crimes such as intimidation, armed threats, extortion, murder, kidnapping, etc. "This is the opening statement of the opposing lawyer, so simple and clear that he has directly told the police 'no need to interrogate, Berezov will not bite out of the Siberian company'.
Weekend looked at Nick and smiled, "Believe it or not, he may have to apply for bail and want to wait outside the prison to enter the trial process." ”
Nick let out an atmospheric 'snort' with his nose and sarcastically said, "He still wants a pension." ”
At that moment, the weekend turned around and said: "Mr. lawyer, who told me that drug trafficking in the United States is not a serious crime?" ”
"This officer, my client is willing to turn himself in. In accordance with national laws. A lighter sentence can be obtained. In addition, my client was willing to cooperate with the police to explain his drug trafficking methods and transportation methods when he turned himself in, and he also planned to hand over the hidden funds in exchange for criminal prosecution transactions. ”
Berezov never spoke, but he found that the star detective of the Anti-Crime and Anti-Narcotics Section of the Detective Bureau seemed to be in line with his lawyer.
"Based on the number of drugs and products seized outside Beverly Hills and the number of shipments that were caught, counting the ~~ reasons you mentioned. You were planning to get Berezov a measly 7-year sentence when you left home, right? ”
On the weekend, he didn't wait for them to answer, and directly responded to the result he gave: "No problem, the police can let you communicate directly with the relevant parties without setting up any obstacles, but we only have one premise, and that is to cooperate." ”
"Next, let's do three questions together, and what I need is not an explanation, but an answer. Problem 1: Supply. Mr. Berezov needs to tell me at once the source of those — poisons — products; Question 2: Doko, who is involved in a case of missing children in a mid-range residential area. But when we found their house, there was no one in the house, and the police wanted to find him; Thirdly: This Chinese policeman sitting in front of you was attacked this morning, and I want to know the list of all the people who are most closely connected to Mexicans, you know a few to say a few, and I don't embarrass you on this issue. ”
Benjamin rolled his eyes and tilted his head to the side, as if he had known that Berezov would not give any answer.
"SORRY, MR. OFFICER, I CAN ONLY ANSWER ONE OF THESE QUESTIONS, AND THAT IS THAT YOU WILL MEET DORKO SOON, AND WE DISCUSSED IT BEFORE COMING HERE, AND HE HAS PROMISED ME TO TURN MYSELF IN."
Berezov said this naturally, and then looked at Benjamin again and said: "Mr. lawyer, your client has shown one-third sincerity, but I want 100%. ”
"We are already very sincere, Berezov is willing to take out all the stolen money to help you close the case!"
"Don't get excited." On the weekend, he looked at the opposing lawyer and said: "The police pay attention to procedures in handling cases, at least we know where the goods came from, he synthesized them himself?" Purchased? Or is it distributed for someone else? There's always an answer, right? So, where is the laboratory for his own synthesis? Bought in the hands of Mexicans? Is it in the hands of the Asians or is it the Colombians back? If you distribute for others, you have to give me a name. He never mentioned the Siberian company, lest a lawyer get caught up and say he was ready to plant a false accusation.
"Mr. Officer!" The lawyer interrupted the weekend: "If you are so persistent, we will not ask for a criminal bargain, and Mr. Berezov is willing to bear the sentence of 7 to 15 years." ”
Weekend sneered twice and slowly leaned back into the back of his wheelchair: "7 to 15 years, huh?" ”
"Mr. Lawyer, you're too whimsical."
He turned around and looked at Nick again for a moment and asked, "What is the spirit of the law in the United States?" ”
Nick replied very smoothly: "Humanity and freedom." ”
"Yes!"
The weekend solemnly said: "Humanity and freedom." For the sake of humanity, a video of a Chinese student abusing and beating a classmate was exposed on the Internet, causing great controversy, and the original simple case was finally sentenced to life imprisonment, so as to declare the justice of the law of the United States and provide the best healing environment for the victim's physical and mental health; For the sake of freedom, the country has so far allowed the privatization of guns, even as school shootings have occurred repeatedly. ”
"Mr. Officer, what you said has nothing to do with my client." The lawyer continued to argue.
"Does it really matter?" "A kid in Beverly Hills Villas jumped off a building because of drug hallucinations, he jumped from three floors, unfortunately, he fell and injured the back of his head, after resuscitation, fortunately he did not leave this world, unfortunately, brain dead." Well, Mr. Benjamin, you say, if I were to associate the case of this young man with Mr. Berezov, would he be guilty? ”
"Guess what else I can tell you about the tragedy that happened to the delivery locations that the arrested minions have confessed? You say, is it possible for me to use the LAPPD's propaganda department to make a disciplinary film specifically for these people who have been poisoned by drugs, and then attach them to Berezov's file? You think. I don't have the ability to do that. Find at least a hundred guys from all walks of life who have been torn apart from their families and lost loved ones to testify in court. Pushing an ordinary drug trafficking case directly to the peak of public opinion? ”
Berezov's whole body tensed up all of a sudden, and he suspected that the policeman in front of him was going to send him to the death rack completely!
"I said it just now, Mr. Berezov, don't get excited, I haven't finished talking yet." Weekend stretched out his index finger and tapped lightly on the table, "When all this becomes a reality, and the moment when the court can make the witness statement for at least 24 hours, how about a few experienced anti-crime and anti-narcotics bureau detectives testify in court?" Like Nick. He reached out and patted Nick on the shoulder: "These people prove that in the underground world of the United States, there are countless cases of gang conflicts caused by drugs. For example, the Siberian company behind Mr. Berezov. He finally mentioned the name, and when such a cautious person revealed a flaw, he must have been prepared for it.
Nick snapped, "I'm not going to turn down the chance to bite you bastards to death in court." ”
Benjamin's rebuttal was particularly weak: "Mr. Officer, you can't prove that the Siberian Company is a gangster. ”
"Oh my God, you're still thinking about that? Why don't you think for your client, if everything I say is true, he will not only lose the opportunity to get a 7-year sentence because he did not cooperate in this room, but will face an inescapable death sentence and a life sentence to go to Devil's Island, even if it is God's blessing? ”
Weekend looked at Berezov and winked his left eye playfully, and said with a crisp sound in his mouth: "Mr. Berezov, if I were you, you would consider considering changing lawyers." Or confess guilt alone, which is the right that a citizen should have. "From this moment on, he showed an extremely easy and overwhelming advantage. The accumulated experience points have finally reached the moment of blowout, and the weekend has stepped into another stage, a stage where control has been comprehensively improved!
"Berezov, don't listen to him!" Benjamin was excited.
"You can disobey me, but what I have to tell you now is that as long as you are willing to cooperate, the police will remain silent on the criminal prosecution transaction you are entitled to, and will never put any obstacles, although we certainly don't want to plead with a judge for a scum like you, but that's better than being manipulated by a gang lawyer and ruining your whole life." A demonic voice slowly poured into Berezov's ears, and the weekend took away what should have been a lawyer step by step with a threat that he considered for the other party's deep consideration.
Benjamin was afraid that Berezov would accidentally get into the weekend, and he was still trying to remind: "Berezov, you have to believe me, I am a professional!" ”
"What else to consider? Do you have any family members who are under threat in the United States? Speak up, just say your concerns, and I'll solve them for you right away, take all your family members into the police station within an hour, and then arrange a safe house for them in front of you, and let the patrol police patrol 24 hours a day, until the whole case is over, and after arresting all those guys, let them go to see you in a prison around Los Angeles safely. ”
"Don't believe him, he can't do it!"
"I can't do it myself, but you must never forget that the laws of a country cannot yield to gangsters!" Looking at Lawyer Benjamin over the weekend, he brought out a cold voice: "When ordinary police detectives can't do this, the people of the Special Operations Bureau will be dispatched, and when the entire police department can't do it, the FBI and DEA will intervene, even if we all fail, there are still millions of troops in this country!" ”
"Mr. Lawyer, the Siberian Company and you, what !! besides the killer"
Hearing that there was no choice now, Berezov raised his head and said, under the double gaze of the weekend and Benjamin: "I want to change lawyers." ”
The weekend answered immediately, not giving Benjamin a second chance to speak: "Nick, accompany Mr. Lawyer to the conference room to chat and discuss legal issues, and he is not allowed to call during this period, let alone leave, until the end of the interrogation here!" ”
"I'm a lawyer, you're restricting my freedom!" Once again, Benjamin protested.
Empty.
The door of the interrogation room was pushed open, and Pablo stood there with his sleeves folded and said: "It is I, Sergeant Pablo of the Anti-Crime and Anti-Narcotics Bureau, who is in front of you, the injured police detective, Mr. Lawyer, who is still on leave and has only come to give us some advice on the handling of the case. ”
In this interrogation room, Weekend Sheng changed the law from a topic of 'humanity and freedom' to a 'trend of public opinion', and quietly defeated a veteran gang lawyer. (To be continued.) )
