Mr. John McCall, sitting outside the door, was bored looking at the newspaper he had just bought.

Our Master Yuan finally made the headlines, and almost all of the newspapers with major circulation areas on the East Coast put the duel and his arrest in the forefront.

The door to the reception room opened. The two gentlemen, who had been whispering indoors for a long time, walked out side by side.

Roosevelt stretched out his hand and said, "Mr. Yuan, it seems that you have been wronged for a day, but I think I can bail you out tomorrow." ”

"It's all right, Mr. Roosevelt." Our Master Yuan shook hands with him and said, "As long as you defend me for free, I am willing to suffer this little hardship." ”

FDR laughs and says, "It's natural. How can I be embarrassed to take your money in this lawsuit? If necessary, I can mobilize people to donate money for you. ”

"That's not ......," Yuan Yanqian looked at John McCall, who was about to speak, and pointed to his personal lawyer, "Mr. Roosevelt, I want Mr. McCall to be your deputy." ”

Roosevelt nodded understandingly, "I'm glad to have such a professional lawyer as Mr. McCall as my assistant." And...... I'll put him in charge of external liaison. ”

When the little fat lawyer heard this, the expression on his face really looked much better, after all, he got another opportunity to make a name for himself.

"Thank you so much, Mr. Roosevelt. Then it's up to you. ”

"You're welcome, Mr. Yuan. Please rest well. I'll take care of the police department. ”

"John, I'm going to trouble you again this time, reassure Lillian and Ann for me."

"Neo, I understand."

The three of them waved goodbye, and Master Yuan returned to his cell. He was so excited that he didn't pay much attention to the environment he was in, and now he frowned when he saw it.

Especially the dirty bed that doesn't pull a few stains, how does this make him lie down?

Don't look at him, the old man wants to be a proletarian revolutionary of the older generation, but if he really wants to defect to the revolution after not suffering in two lifetimes, he has to cleanse his soul and body fiercely in order to become a new communist man.

Yuan Yanqian had no choice but to take off her coat and put it on the bed, and rolled her coat into a ball as a pillow, and didn't even take off her shoes and lay down on the bed. He put his top hat over his face and began to fall asleep.

Although he has an 18-point physique, it doesn't matter if he doesn't sleep for a few days. But it's better to be a low-key person, and he doesn't sleep all night after drinking five bottles of whiskey, and he doesn't think of him as a monster in the eyes of others.

He thought to himself, there is nothing to do now, it is better to "write" a few books and have fun.

"Master Ball, check my B-coin balance."

"Host, your current balance of B coins is 233233."

"233, 222!" Our Master Yuan was overjoyed and asked, "Master Ball, how can it be so much?" ”

"Host, on the one hand, your "A Group of Wives and Concubines" has now been seen by dozens of sensitive words here, which is why it has brought you so many B coins......"

"Master Ball, there are so many sensitive words here?"

"Host, you don't know, it's just in time for the sensitive period of the sensitive words here to hold the sensitive words conference here, so there are a lot of sensitive words here."

"Master Ball, do you think I'm going to be a sensitive word here?"

"Host, that's for sure, you're going to be the sensitive word here."

"Master ball, then I'll borrow your auspicious words. What else is the reason? ”

"Host, on the other hand, your A Song of Ice and Fire is a big hit in the UK, so ......"

"Master ball, wait. My SCP magazine isn't published in the UK yet. ”

"Host, you should know that piracy is also rampant these days."

Well, anyway, what Yuan Yan is asking for is not the pound sterling but the B coin, and piracy is piracy.

Since you have so many B coins, what should you draw?

Master Yuan couldn't help but feel moved in his heart when he thought of this, he was now in a prison cell, so wouldn't it be a match made in heaven to copy that article.

"Master ball, draw me literature, Chinese, science fiction ......"

At the same time that Yuan Yanqian was "writing", Secretary of State Hughes, who had only been in office for two days, received a phone call.

"What? That Chinese refused to pay the fine? Didn't I tell you what the fine meant, not too high? ”

Although the U.S. federal government has no jurisdiction over state governments, that doesn't mean Washington's bigwigs can't "influence" the local justice system. After all, the justice system is also made up of people.

Mr. Hughes is one of the few leading figures in the American legal profession at present, and it is widely recognized that he is a legal leader who will become a justice of the Supreme Court in the future. He wanted to "influence" the Virginia justice system, and it would be a no-brainer. Otherwise, why did the police in Fort Myer listen to him so much?

"What? He refused to pay even $100, and his lawyers refused to talk about it and asked for bail...... I understand! ”

As a legal expert, Mr. Hughes certainly understood as soon as he heard that the Chinese was sincere in making things bigger.

"What? What do you ask me for my opinion? I don't have an opinion, how can I have an opinion? I have a little suggestion though......"

"Boom, la-la-la-la...... Bang dang! ”

"Neo-Yuan, wake up. Your lawyers have come to pick you up. ”

"Huh?"

Yuan Yanqian, who was sleeping in a daze, looked at the sky outside the window, and subconsciously raised his wrist to look at his watch, only then did he remember that his watch had been taken away.

So he had no choice but to ask, "Mr. Officer, what time is it?" ”

"It's less than seven."

"So early?"

Master Yuan was taken aback, is the pre-trial time so fast? Didn't they tell me yesterday that they had already arranged a pre-trial?

According to the U.S. judicial process, there is also a preliminary hearing before the prosecution is filed. A criminal hearing is usually conducted by a magistrate who can decide on the spot whether there is sufficient evidence to prosecute the accused. At the same time, he can also decide whether or not to release on bail and on the terms of bail.

This pre-trial procedure is not necessary, for example, in the case of the kidnapping and murder of a Chinese female student surnamed Zhang in the later world, the pre-trial procedure was skipped and went directly to the prosecution stage.

Unable to figure it out, he put on his coat and followed the officer out of the small cell.

Then he met with his two lawyers.
