"Did what you had to do?" Sean grinded his teeth and sneered, feeling extremely unhappy with his calm appearance, "When did it become your duty to act casually without my consent?" ”

"One of the responsibilities of a broker...... It is to protect the interests of customers," Frederick rubbed the corners of his mouth, hissing and inhaling the cold air, the expression on his face was still calm, "to the greatest extent possible, use all available means to protect the interests of customers." ”

"So I'm going to thank you?" Sean said sarcastically, but at the same time turned around and covered his forehead.

He knew that Frederick had done nothing wrong, and that it was true that the agent had not made the decision with permission, but it did help him and did not expose his relationship with Kate. Perhaps Kate had aroused the reporter's idea when he testified, but his subsequent performance drew his attention back to himself, and Frederick even thought of this, and helped him find a reasonable excuse, even if there was a fault, it should be more merit than demerit.

In fact, Sean is so angry, more because he is angry, because he sent a message to Kate at the beginning, asking her not to come out no matter what, and he also made up his mind in his heart that he would never implicate her. But because of Frederick's unauthorized actions, he broke his trust with Kate, although he finally came out to testify, but he did perjury, and I don't know what she would think, and it was inevitable that this would be the case under anxiety.

"It doesn't matter what you think of me, it doesn't matter what you want to do after that, but Sean," Frederick wiped his nose with the back of his hand and looked at him with a calm gaze, "today can be my end day, but it should never be yours." ”

The room fell silent, one leaning against the wall, the other propped up his hands on the wall, and no one spoke for a long time.

Eventually, Frederick spoke: "I'll go first...... Don't worry, it's going to be fine......"

Before he could speak, Sean's voice rang out: "I'm sorry. ”

The agent blinked, as if he hadn't reacted yet, and Sean had already stood up straight and turned his head, with a wry smile on his face, and his eyes were a little wandering, not daring to look at him.

"I'm sorry, Fred." He said this again, which was a formal apology.

"It's okay, it's ...... That's what I'm supposed to do. Frederick grinned, also a little embarrassed.

"You can punch me too." Sean looked up and said something suddenly.

Frederick looked at him in a bit of a daze, and it wasn't until he repeated it again that he came back to his senses: "No...... I can understand your anger...... So ......"

"I insist, Fred, it's my fault." Sean sighed, then patted his face, "Come on, don't care, because ...... I don't know what to do...... I had to give you a punch. ”

The agent hesitated, then reached out and clenched it into a fist, carefully touching it on his face.

Sean immediately rolled his eyes: "I'm asking you to punch me, not letting you touch me." ”

"I think that's okay." Frederick explained, but under Sean's forced gaze, he still threw his fist and hit it again, but although the force was a little larger, it was no different from before.

"Do you need me to punch you again?" Sean rolled his eyes again.

"Okay, okay......" Frederick sighed, and then a hook punched Sean in the face.

Sean immediately took a few steps to the sidelines, covered his face and hissed several puffs before coming back to his senses, glaring at Frederick with a grin: "Fred, your shot is really heavy." ”

Frederick didn't speak, just spread his hands, obviously saying: You asked me to fight. However, he quickly came over to take a look, and fortunately, Sean only had a little broken at the corner of his mouth, which was much better than he was just now.

"Need ...... Well...... Take a break? Frederick didn't know what to say, and it was a little while before he said that.

"I didn't ...... It's all wrong. Sean shook his head and took a deep breath, although the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, but it didn't hurt so much.

The two of them just looked at each other, and suddenly laughed together, shaking their heads, as if what had happened before was very funny. Then, Sean took the lead in reaching out his arm and hugged Frederick, patting each other on the back.

"Thank you, Fred."

"Me too, Sean."

Both of them said something full of emotion, although it was only a short sentence, but the meaning contained in it was understood by them who have come to this day together.

After that, they waited three days for the jury to reach a verdict, and although this efficiency was not the slowest, it was also known that the jury was very hotly argued, after all, ...... The prosecution was charged with second-degree murder.

"Ask the jury chair to give the verdict to the clerk." With the judge's voice, a middle-aged woman sitting in the middle of the jury stood up and handed the thin page in her hand to the bailiff.

As the page of the verdict was handed to the clerk by the bailiff, the defense team stood up, looked at the paper that seemed to weigh a thousand pounds even though it was only one page, Sean closed his eyes, and involuntarily recalled the last submissions of the defense and prosecution.

"A responsible person will not lie constantly, and a responsible person will not hide the facts, so Mr. Tang is not as innocent as he himself said. Ladies and gentlemen, we are not talking here about the love history of a particular person, we are talking about the life of a person, and whatever kind of person Mr. Bennett is, he is the victim of this crime, and we must bring the culprits to justice. ”

"I think you should see it very clearly, Sean has a bad side, but there is also a side of sticking to his bottom line, he doesn't take drugs or alcohol, he can bear the consequences of protecting his loved ones, so if he really knocked someone down at that time, he will definitely not run away, but wait for the police to come. All the evidence is in front of you, and the only thing you need to do is acquit him! ”

It's going to be fine. Silently speaking in his heart, Sean opened his eyes, and the clerk who got up had already begun to read it.

"Case CGUY-6071-0091, as determined by the jury, on Sean? Tang second-degree murder charge ......" The moment the middle-aged woman who served as a clerk read this, the atmosphere of the courtroom seemed to freeze.

"Not true!" As these words came out, it was like a hammer smashed into the hard ice, smashing out a huge hole, and the water below suddenly spewed out.

Sean closed his eyes, shook his lowered hands gently, his heart relaxed, and then hugged the lawyer next to him in turn, although he was still a little dazed and uncomfortable, he did win the lawsuit.

However, the matter is not completely over, and although the prosecutor cannot say anything more because the verdict has come out, it does not mean that the media will also keep their mouths shut.

"Sean? Don won this lawsuit, but whether he really wasn't the murderer is still hard to determine, although Kate? Blanchett claimed to have seen him at two or three o'clock in the night, but who knows what was going on. Amid a hail of reports about Sean winning the lawsuit, a newspaper said so.

The media is like this, you can do without face or anything when you need it, although Sean and his team have released cruel words, but they are only a deterrent to some large media, and it is difficult to clean up those tabloids that are spilling and rolling one by one. Even so, some crime TV shows still find various experts to discuss whether Sean may be the murderer in the name of analysis, anyway, the jury found him not guilty, but it does not mean that he is necessarily innocent.

In addition, whether Kate's testimony is credible or not, and whether there is anything frustrating between Sean and Kate, are all in their discussion, which is extremely annoying.

However, this situation only lasted a few days after the verdict was issued, because a week later, news came from San Francisco that a private investigator had reported that a thug from a speakeasy was the real culprit in the case.

It was very simple, the private detective had been hired to investigate something, and at that speakeasy he met the thug, who was a habitual car thief, and after two drinks and a little cocaine, the conversation began to increase. When someone asked him what his feat was, the guy smiled triumphantly, declaring that he was the real murderer of the case that had recently been rumored, the big star hit someone to death and escaped, he not only stole a car and hit someone, but also let a celebrity carry the black pot for him, which is naturally quite proud.

Most people didn't care, basically thinking that he was talking big, but the detective listened and called the police. The San Francisco Police Department dispatched quickly this time and caught the guy red-handed, although the guy flatly denied it, but the detective happened to have a recording, and then asked the Los Angeles police to assist in the investigation.

The San Francisco police were still very sharp this time, although the Los Angeles police were not interested, they still re-examined the evidence car in detail and thoroughly, and finally found two fingerprints in the corner of the back seat that were ignored by the Los Angeles police, and took them back for a comparative examination, and confirmed that it was the car thief!

So, after some intimidation, coercion, inducement, and all kinds of transactions, the guy recruited, the car was indeed stolen by him, the Ford looked a little old, the model was also very old, and the parking position was just in the dead corner of the monitor, so he didn't have much effort to get it away. Originally, he was very careful, stealing cars and driving with gloves, but he accidentally knocked over the bag containing cocaine that he put in the back, and he didn't look at the road while rushing to fish, so he had a car accident and left fingerprints on the back seat.

Later, after escaping for miles, he threw the car into the woods and managed to run to Nevada. Originally, I wanted to continue to go inland, but then I heard that Sean carried a black pot for him, so he settled down, and finally went to San Francisco to join a cousin, so he was finally caught now.

This is thanks to the efficiency of the San Francisco police, and then the "San Francisco Chronicle" was the first to publish the detailed story, and the various media that had sworn to say something before were immediately slapped in the face and did not dare to talk about it again, and Sean finally found a chance to meet with Kate.
