Tony's consent was required to change the lawyer, and Goodman managed to make it possible for Song Ya and him to visit again at 10 a.m.

In the small conversation room of the police station, Song Ya looked at Tony, who was as wizened as little Lowry, and a feeling of hatred for iron and steel rose in his heart, and he dispelled the previous plan of persuasion, and directly put the power of attorney and pen in front of him, "Sign it." ”

Tony signed, and Song Ya took it back and handed it to Goodman.

"What is it?" Tony asked at this point.

Song Ya was made to laugh and cry by his unreliability and complete trust, "Goodman will fight this lawsuit for you, do you still have to admit that the gun is yours?" He gave a brief account of the gun's alleged murder.

"I can't be a traitor." Tony looked at Song Ya in embarrassment.

Song Ya was so angry that he got up and left directly, "Then you wait." ”

After waiting outside for more than ten minutes, Goodman came out and comforted: "The prosecution just thinks that the gun may be related to the murder, it is possible ......"

"But if you don't change your words now, if you really find out about it in the future, Tony's life will be over, right?" The basic legal concept Song Ya still has.

"It's useless for you to say this, Tony doesn't want to change his words, he's the client and he has the final say, not you." Goodman laid out the current situation: "Within 48 hours, the prosecution needs to provide further evidence, otherwise we can still bail him out at that time." Of course, if the prosecution presents new evidence, it will be troublesome......"

"How much trouble?"

"It's very, very cumbersome, and you might have to hire a defense lawyer to go to court." "Since the prosecution has this claim, it's not going to do nothing, there's a bail hearing after 48 hours, and they're going to submit new evidence, whether it's sufficient or not, and if the defense attorney can prove that the evidence provided by the prosecution is insufficient, bail can be granted," Goodman said. ”

"You're not in court?" Song Ya looked at him in surprise.

"Uh......" Goodman asked rhetorically, grimacing, "what do you think of my level?" ”

"I personally don't know very much, but you have helped me a lot this year, and both Hayden and Song Asheng have a high opinion of you......" Song Ya told the truth.

"How do you think I've been reduced to opening an office in a Chinatown and receiving consulting services for thirty-five dollars an hour? Just because I went to court, it was definitely a tragedy......" Goodman smiled wryly, "As soon as I went to court, it was like a different person, and I could only help." ”

"Okay, then ......" Song Ya looked at his watch, "Tony was arrested at eight o'clock last night, and fourteen hours have passed, which means we have thirty-four hours left." ”

"No, the bail hearing is scheduled for 10 a.m. tomorrow, so it's only a full twenty-four hours." Goodman said, "Get a good defense lawyer, APLUS. ”

Song Ya took a deep breath, "It's really troublesome......"

When I got home, Aunt Susie had already seen the news from the local morning news, but she was not too excited, and was packing up her things in the room.

Song Ya, who had only been squinting at the police station for a while, lay down on the sofa, and the pager was ringing all night, and he dialed the phone and went back one by one.

"Did you see the news too? It's a bad thing. It was a Columbia Records publicist, "I'm fine, this has nothing to do with me, I'll take care of it." ”

"Hayden, William Morris's co-agent, the one with connections in the upper echelons of Chicago, can you get him to help? Yes, there's a bail hearing right away, and I need a defense lawyer, the best of the best. ”

"Hi Mira...... Have you been back to Los Angeles? I'm sorry, I have something important to do in the evening, and I don't have time to answer your call. ”

Mirajiao's voice came from the microphone, "I miss you, can you come to Los Angeles to see me?" ”

"Not right now." Song Ya doesn't have that leisure now, "I've delivered to my door twice, Yellowstone and Fiji, remember?" It's your turn this time, I'm not your call cowherd. ”

"People are very busy filming...... "Everyone has high hopes for my film, and the agent won't let my mother take on new commercials and movies, and everything will be said after the return to the blue reef is released." ”

"I'm also busy."

"Where are you busy?"

"I'm just busy."

"Humph! You don't love me! ”

"I love you Mira, but I'm really busy right now."

"Don't love me, don't love me! Not good for me! ”

“……”

Mira didn't give up, Song Ya simply hung up the phone, "It's not enough to make a mess for me, really!" He dialed Roberto Clevell's phone again, "Hey, Robert, I'm fine, thank you for your concern." Is AW Investments in a hurry? Haha, that's good, I'm going to hang them for a while, and I'll talk about it when the Grammys are over...... No way, if they find the next home during this time, I will admit it, for me, this acquisition is a bit beyond my ability...... Yes, the royalties of SBK have not yet been settled. ”

"Tony is going to be in prison for a long time, right?" Aunt Susie came out and handed some of Tony's clothes to Song Ya, "You have to find a way to bring them to him." ”

"How are you calmer than I am, Aunt Susie."

"I've seen a lot, and most of the black boys in the South City have taken this road, sooner or later."

Aunt Susie sat down beside him and put her arms around him, "Maybe Tony will live past twenty-five in prison." She wiped her tears.

Song Ya smiled bitterly.

Hayden didn't call back, but came to the door in person, "The co-agent asked about the Chicago Police Department, the gun is a bit troublesome, and he advises you to go the way of a politician." He pulled Song Ya to the bedroom, closed the door, and whispered.

"Looking for politicians to interfere in the administration of justice?" Song Ya subconsciously felt that things were getting more and more serious, "What's wrong with that gun?" Is little Lowry really suspected of murder? ”

"Probably not, but you know, there is a lot of guns in the underground in Southtown, and that kind of revolver can be used with dozens of knives, who knows what has been done before......" Hayden replied, "Don't you know Councilor Underwood?" The co-agent recommends that you find his wife and donate money to the woman's charity...... It should work wonders. ”

"Mrs. Underwood, Claire?"

Song Ya remembered the identity of the other party's broker, money and power, power and money......

"Yes, the co-agent said that the most important point now is to find out what kind of evidence the prosecution has, and if the evidence is strong, Tony must decisively change his words at the bail hearing, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable. This is not interference in the administration of justice, it is just a matter of inquiry. Hayden warned.

"Okay, prepare for my meeting with Claire......" Song Ya took out the checkbook, "How much should I sign?" ”

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Song Ya finished talking with the alternative defense lawyer, and with seventeen hours left before the bail hearing, he visited Claire's charity in person.

Claire met him in her office, "Thank you for your support of our feminist cause." He handed a check for a hundred thousand dollars to a middle-aged white woman, "You go out first." ”

There were only two people left in the office, "After the last conversation with you about South Africa, I went back and thought about it for a long time, it is true that racial equality does not take precedence over women's rights, and the remarks of the ANC top brass are absolutely wrong, so ...... I decided to support both sides, and that's my personal attitude. He said it beautifully.

Claire looked at him and smiled meaningfully, "At a time like this? I watched the news in the morning and you were mentioned there. ”

"Of course, my brother Tony is in a bit of trouble right now, I ......"

"Aha......" Claire raised her hand to prevent him from continuing, "let's not discuss this, okay?" If you came for that, I won't accept your donation. She opened the office door and gestured to call the staff back.

"No, absolutely not." Song Ya hurriedly assured.

Claire looked back at him, smiled gracefully, and closed the door again.

The two continued to talk about some issues of women's rights and famine in Africa, and Song Ya, who felt that time was constantly passing, subconsciously looked at her watch, six o'clock, and there were only sixteen hours left before the hearing.

"I'm sorry, I'll go on and on when I get to that...... Claire stood up and held out her hand.

"Well, it's okay, I'm also interested in famine in Africa." Song Ya hid her disappointment and shook hands with her to say goodbye.

"Oh, by the way, you thing...... Maybe I can introduce a good defense lawyer. ”

Claire seemed to remember something, and took out a business card from the drawer and handed it over, "I hope it helps you." ”

"Thank you, thank you, Ms. Claire."

Song Ya took the business card and left the other party's office, "Lockhart & Gardner Law Firm lawyer, Alicia Flock?" He muttered as he looked at the business card in his hand.
