Volume II: Exotic Prestige Section 24 Legal Aid

After chatting about work, everyone had nothing to say, and the office fell silent.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little dull, Liu Zheng opened his mouth and said: "Mr. Murdoch, the two of us followed you that day for reasons of curiosity, and I'm sorry for the inconvenience caused you." We mean absolutely nothing else. ”

Murdoch shook his head: "It's nothing, New York is a free city, and the most important thing is all kinds of different people, as long as they live according to their own wishes, the well water does not interfere with the river water, and do not cause trouble, the city is willing to accept you." ”

He walked over, poured coffee for Liu Zheng and the others, and then asked, "So you are all superpowers in Huaxia?" I've fought this gentleman and it's been very good. ”

Luo Zhijie smiled and didn't speak.

Liu Zheng replied: "Yes, we came to New York mainly to help Danny. ”

"Help eradicate the 'Hand Clan'?"

"Mr. Murdoch also knows about the Hand Clan?" Liu Zheng was a little surprised.

Murdoch nodded: "I have a bit of a holiday with the Hand Club, and Mrs. Gao's poison pin business in Hell's Kitchen was cut off by me." ”

"Coincidentally, isn't it, we have to deal with Mrs. Gao of the Hand Clan!" Luo Zhijian said happily.

Murdoch was silent for a few seconds and said, "I met Danny Rand once before, when he came to Hell's Kitchen, and I saw his fight with the Hand and revealed to him about Lady Go. ”

"Oh! Danny says the message came from 'a friend from Hell's Kitchen', and it turned out to be you. Liu Zheng remembered that on the first day they came to New York, Danny had said this on the road, "Then why didn't he recognize you when they met in the courthouse that day?" ”

"I'm wearing a mask and he doesn't know who I am."

"Masks? The superhero kind? As soon as superheroes were mentioned, Luo Zhijian immediately became interested.

Murdoch smiled wryly: "I'm not a superhero, at most a masked vigilante." Besides, I've given up that identity now and focused on being a lawyer. ”

"Well, that's a pity." Luo Zhijian was stunned, he didn't expect that someone would really be willing to give up the role of superhero.

"Actually, there's nothing to regret." Murdoch pointed to the piles of papers on the table and smiled, "I have a lot of files to deal with right now, from small cases of little value to big cases that can change people's lives, malfeasance, workers' compensation arrears, good people who need someone to come forward... I'm too busy to go out at night. Well, I think it's a step forward, and it's also justice, and at least it seems that the city needs a competent lawyer more than a dangerous person who goes out in the middle of the night and breaks someone's leg. ”

There is a saying in China that "with a hammer in your hand, everything looks like a nail". In reality, too, people often get lost in the power in their own hands, and eventually they are swallowed up by ** and degenerate into a dark force. But Murdoch resolutely put down the "hammer" in his heart, and this determination and determination made Liu Zheng very admirable.

The three of them were talking in the office, and the time passed quickly, and it didn't take much time for the sound of high heels to come from downstairs.

A man and a woman pushed the door open and walked in.

The first was a middle-aged woman, with a serious face, her eyebrows habitually wrinkled slightly, and her whole body carried a coldness of a giant thousands of miles away. He was followed by a slightly chubby young man, with a smile on his round face, who didn't look like a lawyer, but a little like a lucky doll on a New Year's painting.

"Miss Hogarth." Murdoch stood up and greeted the woman, who bowed her head reservedly, walked into the living room, looked around, and sat down in a chair that looked relatively clean. The fat man stepped forward and hugged Murdoch, seeing that the two were intimate

behaved, I don't know if he is the so-called "best friend".

After the woman sat down, she glanced at Liu Zheng and Luo Zhijian, and asked, "You are the person mentioned by Mr. Murdoch, a friend of Danny Rand?" ”

"We are, may I ask who you are?"

'I'm Jerry Hogarth.' He is the founder of the law firm of Hogarth Chao Bannowitz and the lead counsel of the RAND Group. ”

Liu Zheng and Luo Zhijian glanced at each other and did not speak.

One of Hogarth's most powerful women in the legal profession, she could tell what the two young men were thinking at a casual glance, and said, "I know what you're thinking, I have a very good personal relationship with Danny Rand, and I won't go to Gaomi, you can rest assured of that." On the other hand, like you, I don't think he has the potential to sell drugs at all. ”

"Thank you for your understanding." Liu Zheng thanked him from the bottom of his heart.

"That's right. You're from Huaxia, so the 'Kunlun' and 'Dragon' mentioned by Danny are real? ”

Danny still brags about being a guardian all day long, how can he say it when he meets people, he doesn't know how to keep secrets... Liu Zheng didn't know how to answer this question so that it didn't seem so mysterious, it would definitely not work to fool the past, but the person sitting opposite was a barrister. However, it is true that the two of them have never seen Kunlun and Dragon in reality, so they replied truthfully: "I don't know, we haven't been to Kunlun." ”

"Okay, so that's the end of the chat, let's talk about Danny." Hogarth didn't feel disappointed, after all, it's the 21st century, the Internet is so developed, if anyone can see a dragon, then it's abnormal. She quickly collected her mood and began to talk about business: "According to the information I just received, Danny has been officially arrested by the DEA, and the arrest notice has been sent to the RAND Group, and the senior management has received all of them. ”

"Hah, they're surprisingly fast." Murdoch let out a mocking laugh.

The little fat man suggested next to him: "Whether or not the arrest has been approved, you can release Danny Rand on parole first, and we will consider it in the long run." ”

"There is no possibility of parole. Danny Rand and his companion, Colleen Win, are suspected of assaulting a police officer, and the DEA considers the two of them to be armed and very dangerous. Among them, Colleen Win is accused of assaulting, obstructing justice and assisting fugitives. It's even more unlikely that Danny, who is now a billionaire facing federal drug pin charges, will surely be labeled 'at risk of absconding'. Hogarth shook his head decisively, "Before the trial, they will have to spend 6 to 12 months in prison, believe me, the criminal system in New York is rotten, but what I say is the truth." ”

"Assault on DEA? Damn, Comrade Danny is very strong, the anti-narcotics police dare to fight, so what should I do next? ”

Luo Zhijian is an English major, and in order to save credits, he also took the United States Rectification Justice. He knows that the DEA department, like the FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation), is subordinate to the U.S. Department of Justice, and unlike the PD (police department) system with a relatively high degree of efficiency, it is characterized by high efficiency and fast case closure. Moreover, the DEA, as the primary responsible department for anti-narcotics in the United States, is extremely dangerous, and a lot of information cannot be disseminated to the outside world, so the police officers in the department have long been accustomed to huddling together for warmth, and the degree of unity is unprecedentedly high. Whoever goes against this kind of department, they're going to kill you!

"He's in there, so he can only ask for more blessings. By the way, this is the document that DEA gave me in the morning, which involves some poison pin information, I don't know if it will help you. ”

Hogarth took out a stack of documents from the leather bag he was carrying and handed them to Liu Zheng. Liu Zheng looked at it, it was all in English, so he handed it over to Luo Zhijian.

Luo Zhijian looked at it for a while, and suddenly exclaimed

"Huh? This is the data on the Hand Tablet! ”

Sure enough, Harold Meecham did it! Liu Zheng secretly scolded luck in his heart. He was the only person in the room who knew in advance that Harold Meacham was behind it, and the Danny family's plane accident was also the work of this guy, but Harold's name would be too abrupt if it were directly. Luo Zhijian, like him, knew that Danny later gave the tablet to Meacham, so it was best for Luo Zhijian to tell the story, so that he could continue to conceal his relationship with the Hand Association.

Hogarth's eyes froze, and he asked, "Why, have you seen it?" ”

Luo Zhijian did not answer the question immediately, but kept looking back and forth at the content of the document: "No, no, no, no!" A lot of the data related to the RAND Group has been tampered with, and it must have been done by Harold Meacham, who was smart enough to push himself to the ground, thanks to Danny alone. ”

"Wait a minute, who did you just say, Harold Meacham? It's been more than ten years since he died, and I attended his funeral. Ward at the time only had... So high. Hogarth gestured with her hand, and she was puzzled to hear Harold's name here.

"No, he didn't die, or he did, but was later resurrected."

Liu Zheng recounted what Danny had told him about Harold Meacham being resurrected by the Hand in a special way.

Hogarth was surprised, but she sensibly did not interject to refute, but chose to listen carefully, after all, even the fairy tale creature such as the dragon appeared, and the resurrection or something didn't seem so unbelievable.

Liu Zheng was surprised to find that only Hogarth showed suspicion among the people present, but the two Murdoch who were watching did not change their faces, as if this was not the first time they had heard of this kind of thing.

"Uh... All right. I mean, uh, if you're saying that all of this is true, that all of this is being pushed by Harold Meacham behind it, that's really a know-it-all. Hogarth pondered his words, "I am... I just want to know why he played dead for so many years? ”

"The Hand resurrected him in order to be able to control him, so that the RAND Group could escort the drug pin business."

Hogarth spread his hands: "I wish I could say that I was surprised, but when I first graduated from college and interned at the RAND Group, I quickly discovered that Harold was not a trustworthy person, but it was clear that President Wendell didn't think so." ... Well, if you have that tablet, I can find someone to analyze the data inside and prove that the contents of the documents are fake, and maybe that can clear Danny Rand's innocence. ”

"I'm afraid you won't get it, Danny, that idiot gave the computer to Harold... Then Harold betrayed him. ”

Hogarth, Murdoch, and the little fat man reached out and covered their faces at the same time.

"So be it! I won't say much else, in my opinion, you have three options now: first, you can't help this matter, it's better to go back to China as soon as possible, this side of the matter has little to do with you, Danny's imprisonment is his own business, and he can still be his billionaire after he comes out. Second, maybe you can appeal, and we will do our best in court to see if we can get a satisfactory result, but due to the serious lack of evidence available, we can only request one trial at most. Speaking of this, Hogarth looked at Liu Zheng and the two and stopped talking.

"And the third?"

"Continue to gather evidence, especially the contents of the tablet, to prove Danny's innocence. These documents are electronic, and they are likely to be backed up elsewhere, can you think of anyone else who might have kept this information? ”

Liu Zheng was silent, he knew who to go to.
