After finishing the next day's publicity mission in Chicago, Song Ya asked Big A, Al and Damon Dash to take Snoop Dogg and Biggie to find a place to live up to the friendship of landlords, and he changed to a Ford Taurus that is more common in Chicago, and Mike Sr. drove away from the mighty star convoy to Flock and Argus.

"This way, please."

Eli was waiting at the door, rubbing his hands together with some anxiety, and led Song Ya into the building, not into the main elevator, but turned around and pushed open a door, and Peter was standing alone in front of a freight elevator with his hands in his pockets, bowing his head in contemplation.

“aplus。” He saw Song Ya nodding expressionlessly, then pointed at Eli and opened the elevator and walked in.

"You're waiting outside, too." Song Ya asked Mike Sr. to stay with Eli, and then followed him into the elevator.

"We're talking here."

Peter closed the door and pressed the button on the top floor, and the old-fashioned freight elevator began to operate with a clattering metallic noise, which was very noisy.

Song Ya knew that Mr. State Prosecutor's move should be to prevent himself from hiding a bugging device, and when things came to this point, everyone had to cooperate sincerely and have to start guarding against each other, which was a very old-fashioned approach.

"Peter, how's it going over there?" The two could only talk closely.

Peter leaned on the car casually, "The FBI has not put the detective's murder on the table for the time being, they have collected a lot of suspects of the four stormtroopers in their early years, there are definitely people in the Chicago Police Department, we have to be more cautious in everything in the future, you have to pay attention too." ”

"I see." Peter had already charged forward to confront the FBI head-on, and now that the two were very honest with each other, Song Ya nodded, "So the FBI hasn't made a key breakthrough yet, right?" ”

"Not necessarily."

Peter shook his head, "Sean, there are a lot of recruits in New York, the role of the SA in the wiretapping case between you and your wife, and some of his previous violations with Vic and others, and now the police and the aid lawyer of the Fire Workers' Union have met him in New York and represented him smoothly, I will try to pull him back into normal track." ”

"The two stormtroopers who knew relatively little about the bail process were supposed to end their detention soon, and they didn't hold on after the FBI showed evidence of Sean's confession, and confessed a few things before being represented by Lockhard and Gardner."

"The biggest trouble right now is Vic, who has been represented by an independent lawyer, Tashauni, who now seems to have no interest in being released on bail, preferring to be under the tight control of the FBI for the time being......"

Song Ya listened silently, and his face became more and more serious, "Vic wants to protect himself?" ”

"Sure, Vic is a very cunning fellow, and he's more afraid of us doing his job now than the FBI is for us to get out of his favor." Peter nodded, "But don't worry too much for the time being, we can negotiate a deal with him through Tashauni at the moment, Vic is only using the FBI, he himself should be well aware of his role in the murder of the detective, and he will not be so naïve to get a satisfactory plea agreement from the FBI." ”

"What if Vic bites us back?" Song Ya asked what she was most worried about, "Vic, they won't let the FBI make such a big fuss, right?" ”

"There is such a possibility, but at the moment we can only take one step at a time......"

As Peter was talking, there was a ding, and the freight elevator slowly stopped on a floor, the door opened, and Alicia Flock appeared in front of the two, "Sorry, can you add one to the meeting?" She didn't wait for an answer with a cold face, and walked straight in.

"Alicia, we're down to business." Peter reluctantly gave Song Ya an apologetic look and said to his wife.

"You two murderers."

When the freight elevator started again, Alicia came over excitedly and said excitedly in a low voice: "Do you know what you have done?!" ”

Song Ya pursed his lips and didn't give any reaction, he didn't want to talk about moral issues with women at this time.

"We didn't do anything to be sorry for our conscience, right?"

The couple argued, and Peter said impatiently, "Who knew that Vic guy would suddenly go crazy and kill the FBI!" ”

"Vic used to only listen to you, and he's out of your control now!" Alicia said, "Even if the FBI was killed has nothing to do with you, Vic was on a mission you assigned at the time, and Sinaloa's death ......"

"Sinaloa is a murderer, he's a madman! I don't feel guilty about killing such a person, Alicia. Peter argued.

"Then he also has the right to be tried by justice, not lynched by you."

Alicia looked at Song Ya, "Don't act like you're fine, Peter has already told me about your deal." ”

Song Ya was very unhappy and looked at Peter.

"She's also your lawyer, and I need a trusted lawyer to help me figure out all the hidden dangers, and we can trust Alicia, even though we're ......still separated," Peter explained.

"Alicia, listen to me......"

Song Ya felt the need to morally convince the woman, "As Peter just said, that fan of mine is an unpredictable lunatic, the murder of a nightclub in Harlem, the murder of Compton Radio, he doesn't understand at all, and the more I kill my enemy, the deeper I am dragged down by him." ”

"You can cooperate with the police to testify against him, and he will be punished by law." Alicia said.

Song Ya took a deep breath, "If that's the case, I don't want to mix in the hip-hop circle myself." ”

"So you two are conspiring to murder people or for your own benefit, you need to maintain a glamorous career, and Peter and Vic need your money." Alicia questioned again.

"Alicia, don't be ......," Peter said helplessly, and it seemed that he couldn't do anything good to his wife, all the same, and the business he had come to talk about was also taken off topic, "at least be quiet." ”

"I'm sorry." Alicia clasped her hands on her chest and stood forward slightly, "Now you're pulling me in!" ”

"What do you think? How do you think you managed to open this law firm smoothly!? ”

Peter, who has always shown himself as a mature politician, was also emotional, "Without me to get the little white face of Will Gardner, and without the business brought to you by APplus, do you think that you, a fourth-year lawyer who returned to his old profession at the age of thirty, could open his own title law firm!?" ”

"Haha, you know best why I'm going to be a lawyer again, if it weren't for you...... You betrayed our family, went to find a prostitute and was photographed by reporters! Do I need to carry the burden of my family alone after you go to jail for **!? ”

The couple directly began to quarrel.

"I was wrong, I was wrong, I have sincerely and humbly asked you and the children to forgive me, I have done a lot to try to redeem you, but now! This is not the time for us to talk about this! Now in front of us is the FBI's gaze, I'm in trouble, and you're ...... It's the same with your law firm built on my political energy, don't hypocritically pretend that you can stay out of it, Alicia! ”

Peter's words suddenly made Song Ya's heart rise with a sense of pity, alas, don't expect women not to grasp this handle when they quarrel after eating secretly......

"So what? So I'm now your accomplice? ”

"I didn't say that!"

The two began to quarrel about the children's education and how Peter's mother, Alicia's mother-in-law, Jackie, interfered in their lives.

Even if a politician who kills people without blinking, and can endure what ordinary people can't bear, he can't escape the troubles of ordinary people, Song Ya thought silently in his heart.

The freight elevator rumbled, and he felt like a light bulb, "Uh, why don't I go out first, wait for you to ......," he interjected.

"No, without APu, our time is precious, and we have to talk about it today."

Peter let out a long sigh, "Can you calm down?" Alicia. ”

"Unless you give me a valid reason to instruct Vic to kill Sinaloa." Alicia got back to it.

"Alicia, listen to me......"

Song Ya looked at her and Juliana Margarethia's faces, and couldn't help but think back to that night...... Suddenly I forgot what I was going to say.

"Say what?" Alicia asked.

"Sinaloa threatens my children, that's my bottom line."

Song Ya tried to state in a calm tone, "You know that I have an illegitimate child with a movie actress, Sinaloa went to find their place in Los Angeles, and you know that he killed the family of the whistleblower AK...... The madman is probably preparing for a move on my family in the future, so I have to strike first. Can you understand? Think about it for a moment, what would you do if you found a gangster trying to find out where your son and daughter lived, where they went to school, and so on? ”

"Really?" Alicia asked.

"Is it all the way I need to make up stories?" Song Ya said, "You don't really think that serial murderer is not going to die, do you?" ”

"Not really, if he threatens me and Peter's children, I think I'll react violently." Alicia's gaze softened as she looked at him, "I can understand you, aplus." ”

"Alright, let's get back to business." Song Ya breathed a sigh of relief.

"By the way, and why did Vic kill the FBI agents who were there? Just because he's going to complete the task you've given him? Wouldn't he be the kind of person who would have thought of another way? Alicia continued to digress.

"Who knows, is it now certain that Vic killed the FBI agent?" Song Ya continued to pretend, he couldn't let Peter know that he had already learned the truth from the old Mike he witnessed with his own eyes, "Maybe the FBI planted it." ”

"Vic must have done it."

Peter couldn't have thought of doubting this, and he said with a sigh: "Although Vic Mackey is a black policeman, although he has done a lot of things on the streets that use the stormtroopers for his own personal gain, he is that kind of ...... The kind of person who loves the police profession very much, and is also very enthusiastic and has a sense of mission in fighting crime, the little money he is greedy for is not worth mentioning compared to the criminals he has beaten. ”

After all, having worked together for many years, Peter knows Vic better than he does, "He has a great sense of honor in the police force, and he has an impulsive personality, and the FBI people ridiculed him and the Chicago police force many times that night, and his kind of person dares to kill the commander when he comes up, plus he is eager to use your bounty to treat the child...... Of course, I promised to promote him beforehand, and he should have been promoted many years ago......"

The quarrel after Alicia came in just now also had some positive effects, and the three of them simply opened their words now, and became more calm, "He is blackened year by year, in fact, I am not like this." Alicia, after you come out to work, you should also be able to understand that it is not so easy to really do some grades, no, it is too difficult, this society is not as romantic as we envisioned in college. Justice does not necessarily come on time, the police force has a limited budget, if all the actions of the police officers are strictly in accordance with normal procedures, then it is difficult to get enough evidence to arrest the other party knowing that a person is a trafficker, and even if he is arrested, it is easy to be exonerated by the barrister who serves the gangsters, so the stormtroopers who rush to the front line of the street will inevitably use some unconventional means, and our police department executives also need to turn a blind eye to people like Vic. It is not so easy to fight crime, especially character crime, the criminals are inherently extremely cunning outlaws who have money and even considerable social resources, and this has been the case since the time of Al Capone, and he would have continued to flourish if it were not for the IRS, which did not strictly follow the procedures at that time......"

"So what do we do now?" Alicia asked.

"Self-preservation." Peter saw it clearly, "The FBI is very protective, and they won't give up on their own people's deaths, so we need to be based on self-preservation." Vic is very smart and ruthless enough to himself, he used suicide to create an opportunity for us to intervene and help, but the interests of all parties in the game are changing at any time, we intervene, the conservative white media intervenes, the union intervenes, then the FBI is passive, and Vic may use the FBI's passivity to pry open a little bit to reach a plea agreement with them and sell our chances......"

"We're going to keep him steady." Song Ya nodded, it was no longer realistic to continue to kill people and kill people.

"Yes, as long as we don't make him feel dangerous, he's definitely inclined to cooperate with us. At this time, we must not stimulate him, you will continue to donate money to the hospital, right? Peter asked.

"Yes, over there at the hospital?" Song Ya asked rhetorically.

"They have seen a lot of this kind of benefit transfer, they know how to deal with it, and I am not worried about them." "I'm worried about Sean, and now he's the only one who is insecure," Peter said. ”

"Now that Vic is in a good position, can we put the blame for killing the FBI agent on Sean's head?" Alicia suddenly asked, "He was there at the time, right?" ”

Damn is still a woman, Song Ya looked at her.

"The FBI knows who killed them, their agents have enough experience, and a series of means such as polygraphy, in fact, to put it bluntly, the veteran investigators should have a judgment very close to the truth in their hearts, and now it is nothing more than how to get enough evidence, and how big their appetite is, and how many people they want to be involved. If you want them to accept this statement, it is still to go the high-level route. ”

Vic said: "This case was personally supervised by Freese, and we will never want to get rid of the FBI without getting Freese done." ”

"That's too hard."

Get a director of the FBI who was born in the elephant party and was pushed to power by the compromise of the two parties? Song Ya didn't have any ideas, and politicians of Gore and Underwood's status might not be able to handle it.

"Then we have to run with illness, we have to fight for position by position, drag this case into a mess, and wait for Sean Vik and them to settle down one after another, and I mean stability is to enter the courtroom attack and defense over the years, until Fries gives up expanding the case, until the case is limited to the pursuit of the murderer of the detective."

Peter didn't have a solution for Fries, he said, "At least until the end of the year, when I'm elected governor." Aplus, I've got some evidence that the FBI may already have, and we're going to have to work closely together to cut off their hands that are quietly reaching out. ”
