Chapter 645: An Audio Tape from Years Ago
"Calm down! Calm down...... Sean. ”
Caught off guard, Vic hurriedly locked the office door, "Don't yell." ”
"You're following me."
Sean put his forehead on his forehead and roared in a suppressed voice: "I think I made it very clear last time, you are not allowed to be suspicious of me like this again, I will not betray you!" If you don't believe me, then shoot it up! ”
"What tracking?" Vic doesn't admit it.
"Don't be hypocritical, Vic, just now Cassidy came to ask me to persuade you, go home early in the evening, why are you and I so consistent!? Well? ”
Sean was so angry that he circled around the house, "I won't betray you, I won't!" Unbelievable, what the hell are you trying to do so much to guard against your brother!? ”
Vic understood that it was the eldest daughter's unintentional mistake, "Sean, your recent performance has made me nervous, and those two FBIs are always looking for you, they are looking for a breakthrough, you are!" ”
"Fxxkyou Vic, how many times do you want me to promise you!?"
"They're asking APLUS about the case of the wiretappers who asked us to go to New York to catch the wiretappers, because there's new evidence that the Italians aren't the only ones doing this kind of work, and they don't ask anything else!" ”
"You don't want to think about it, you've already recorded a statement over there, does the FBI need to check with you multiple times? If they really have doubts, they can ask you to record a written testimony through the formal process......"
Vic said to Sean: "It's been a long time since that happened, and the FBI was anything but simple. ”
"And what do you want me to do? I can't forbid the FBI from pestering me, it's them looking for me, it's not me looking for them! Or do you want to continue to kill the FBI like last time? Sean asked rhetorically.
"Hey! Be quiet! ”
Vic suddenly exploded and gave him a hard push, "Forgot my warning?" Don't talk about it at any time or anywhere! And don't you go old at night to gamble with others, can't you bear it at this time? The bounty given by APLUS can be lost quickly if you spend it so much! ”
"Then the money is not enough to spend, don't keep pretending to be a kind Vic in front of me, you make me disgusting like this, don't think I can't guess that you got the lion's head from APLUS, your youngest son and daughter are all treated in the best private hospitals, how much will it cost? And me? Eat just a few leftovers and put up with your stalking and fingering. ”
As soon as Sean said this, Vic's eyes froze.
"I'm sorry, I was a little impulsive Vic just now, I have no problem with your children's treatment, I can understand, we are the best brothers, born and died together on the streets, I just want you to respect and trust me more."
Sean also felt that what he said just now was a bit excessive, and immediately apologized in a low voice.
"Vic?"
At this time, there was two knocks on the outside door, and then someone twisted the doorknob and didn't unscrew it, "Are you inside?" "It's the sheriff's voice.
"I'm here!"
Vic went to open the door, and the sheriff came in, glanced at him and Sean suspiciously, and didn't say anything, "Come out, there's an emergency." ”
"Hey, I'll be right away."
Vic glared at Sean fiercely and followed the sheriff out.
Many people in the police station gathered in the big office, looking up and watching TV intently, and the sheriff joined in with Vic.
"I'll ask you again, Officer Foreman, if you've used the word NGer in the last ten years."
It turned out to be the video of the popular Simpson murder case, and there have been two live broadcasts of the trial after the trial in January, but they are both in the pre-stage stage, not very important, and today is the highlight, the key witness in the murder case, Officer Foreman, a white police detective from the Los Angeles Police Department, testified in court, that is, he found a series of evidence at the scene of the crime and Simpson's home.
He is being questioned by the defense's top cross-examination master Li Bailey, and Foreman, who has many years of law enforcement experience, has a calm expression, but he probably didn't expect the other party to play cards according to the routine, but ask for any evidence, and directly provoke racial issues.
"As far as I can remember, no." Foreman replied after a moment of silence.
Vic smiled disdainfully, and instead of shouting taunts in the presence of black police officers, he whispered to the sheriff, "Those black men are old again." He turned his head to observe Sean, who was standing silently at the edge of the crowd.
The sheriff also sneered from his nostrils.
"You mean, maybe you called someone NGer, but you forgot, right?" Li Bailey continued.
"I'm not sure how I can answer that question."
Foreman looked at the prosecution's team of prosecutors, but received no indication.
"Let me put it another way, I want you to clarify that at some point between 1985 and 1986, you may have called a black person an NGer, or maybe you have forgotten it?" Li Bailey did not give up.
"Hey! It's endless, isn't it? Vic raised his hand to the television and shouted at it, causing the other officers to laugh.
"No, it can't be." Foreman was quick to give a clear answer.
"Would you like to take an oath on this?" Li Bailey immediately asked.
"That's exactly what I want to do." Foreman has a tough front.
"If any witness comes out in court and says you used the word 'NGer' to describe a black person, that person must be lying, right?" Li Bailey asked a different way.
"That's right." Foreman nodded.
"These lawyers, a very simple sentence can be said back and forth several times in different rhetorical ways......" the sheriff also complained.
"A bunch of vampires." Vic agreed, and then looked at the place where Sean was standing just now, the person was gone, he laughed dryly, and quickly began to make all kinds of guesses in his mind, and the more he made up his eyes, the more unconsciously he became fierce.
"Good."
Lee Bailey ended his cross-examination and returned to the defense bench in the All-Star lineup.
And Clark, a celebrity white female prosecutor, is not the head of the prosecution, and the Los Angeles prosecutor replaced the leader with a black man in order to balance the mood of the black community.
Then the trial continued, Foreman entered Simpson's house alone, and he obtained key evidence alone, which violated the procedure, and the defense began to chase and fight, but Foreman coped with it calmly, and there was a reasonable explanation for all the reasons.
After the video ended, "So? Vic wondered what the sheriff meant.
"I don't know." The sheriff shrugged.
"Listen carefully." A senior civilian in one of the bureaus began to show another videotape.
"Those NGers...... If I found an Nger man in the car on the street with a Caucasian woman, I would sound my siren and order them to stop...... I would have liked to see all the "NGers" gather in a heap and burn them down or blow them up. ”
There is no picture, it is a pure recording, it sounds like Foreman's voice, he seems to be talking to a friend, most of it is complaining, swearing repeatedly, and the whole recording is said more than forty times......
"This is a recording obtained by a television station, and 99 percent of it was deliberately released by the defense in order to avoid exchanging evidence in advance, which caught the prosecution off guard."
"Now that this recording is fermenting all over the country, the anger of the African American community will soon be stirred up......," the civilian top brass shouted.
Vic and the sheriff glanced at each other, understanding why Li Bailey was asking those inexplicable words in court, it turned out that they had already got the handle in their hands, this kind of private conversation, and something that was casually said when chatting with friends many years ago, could be obtained by Simpson's lawyer team, needless to say, Foreman's friend must have betrayed him for money, and the motive for recording such a thing back then was not pure.
"Do you understand the seriousness of the matter?" Civilian executives asked.
"Understood."
Vic and the sheriff replied in unison, needless to say, the blacks are going to start making trouble again, "I hope the incident in Los Angeles in '92 won't happen again......" The sheriff reluctantly began to assign tasks, "Everyone, go to the streets in groups, especially in the South City, you must prevent them from gathering people to make trouble!" ”
Everyone began to get busy and prepared to go to the police.
Vic took advantage of the chaos to run to the stormtrooper's small office first, and pushed the door open, where Sean was drinking coffee and chatting with the other two brothers.
Seeing him come in in a hurry, Sean sneered unhappily.
"If there is an emergency, everyone should put on their gear and get ready to go." Vic breathed a sigh of relief for a moment and said in a businesslike manner.
