Chapter 52 Power and Money
After the second trial, Kevin smiled and stretched out his hand to Camille, he was still holding the key evidence and witnesses in his hand, no matter whether Camille could find new evidence and witnesses to support his "murder on both sides" argument, he would not be Kevin's opponent, because all the evidence and witnesses will never be more authoritative than the murderer himself.
Now that you've won, why don't you show that you're educated and have a good demeanor?
The winner deserves the winner's smile!
In the face of Kevin's provocative movements, Camille looked at him with a straight face and a fierce glint in his eyes. After a long while, he turned around and continued his movements, tidying up the materials on the table, and finally grabbed them together so hard that he slammed them on the table with a loud noise.
The auditors and jury members, who had already walked more than halfway, turned around curiously, and in their eyes, they saw Kevin polite, even in the face of his "opponent", very politely extended a friendly hand. Camille, as the district attorney, rudely ignored Kevin's kind gesture and made such a loud noise to express his dissatisfaction and hostility.
Kevin, the surrogate lady who represented Nasha's poor girl, was undoubtedly favored by the people, who were willing to stand on the side of the weak and challenge the strong, as if they had forgotten the vicious nicknames they used to call Kevin "the devil's agent". Now they're more willing to side with Kevin and stand up to that rude district attorney.
This scene also fell into the eyes of the judge, who smiled, shook his head and left the passage beside him. From this scene, he was already able to rely on his rich experience to conclude that in the final trial, Camille would lose, and the loss was ugly.
It's not a psychic thing, it's an empirical judgment, and the more confident people are, the more polite they become, because they already think they've won. Those who were angry and ruined all lost to the other side in the end, and psychologically, Camille had already lost.
The judge is actually very optimistic about Camille, he is young, energetic, has an endless desire to seek the truth, and he is still a guy with a sense of justice. The moment Camille was designated as a candidate for the state attorney's pick, he was out of balance.
He wanted to make big news and establish his status as a leader, but he didn't expect to fall on his heels without paying attention.
Kevin looked at his right hand, shrugged his shoulders, and turned to walk briskly towards the door. Durin, who had been sitting still, stood up at this time, and walked outside together behind Kevin.
"I gotta congratulate you, it looks like you've won. ”
Kevin was very happy in the face of Doolin's compliment, this case not only allowed him to leave Camille behind him, but also added a dazzling feats to his resume through the final victory, not everyone can defeat the prosecutor without losing the initiative. Of course, cheating doesn't count.
He paved the way for his future trip to the capital, and received a thousand dollars, and there was nothing more satisfying for him than this case.
The emotion in Kevin's heart was directly expressed on his face, "This is nothing to be proud of, although I am indeed proud ......", he said and stopped, raised his arm, and retracted the cuffs of an inch to reveal the watch on his wrist, "I have a dinner later, you and I are together, just take this opportunity to introduce two people to you." ”
As a victorious lawyer, Kevin inevitably has to come into contact with all kinds of people, from homeless people to city tycoons, each of whom has the potential to provide him with important clues and intelligence, and may also become his clients. Among them, the most involved are the police and their chiefs.
In Turnaire, anyone can be offended, but not the police chief.
According to the provisions and interpretations in imperial law, the police have the power to hold them for a short period of time on what they deem possible, and if they can find a little evidence, they can apply to the court for arrest and search. Over the past decade, at least three Turnaire tycoons have been discredited for offending the police chief. Of course, having such a past does not mean that the police chief is an arrogant and domineering villain, in fact, he is very smart, and he also knows that not all tycoons fall into his hands so easily.
In fact, according to the experience and actual situation in developed regions, the chief of police does not have much power and is often regarded as a lackey of the tycoons. But Turnaire is a small border city, and brutality is obviously more prevalent here than law-abiding and civilized.
So he was very careful to screen the target, and then with the acquiescence of the other tycoons, he bit one to death. He doesn't choose people he can't move, and almost all the tycoons have said that the police chief is a dog, and he hasn't seen him go crazy every day.
Kevin's invitation was very appropriate, and the outside was already boiling, and Durin naturally needed to find a thick thigh to shelter him from the wind and rain at this time, and the police chief was obviously one of the most powerful supports at this stage.
The two got into Kevin's car, and it was really shabby to say that Durin had already made a name for himself as Turnier, but he didn't even have a car.
Lunch is served at Turnier's best restaurant, Jasmine Del Phantom Agate River. Jasmine Dale is the name of the restaurant owner, a beautiful woman in her thirties who still has charm. She is said to have been the mayor's lover, and some versions depict vivid stories that provide a rich source of inspiration for the workers as they move their left and right hands. But no one has ever dared to say it in the open, whether it is true or not, to say it means to offend people.
The real name of this restaurant is the Phantom Agate River, and it is said that when Dale took a boat on the Agate River, the sunlight hit the bottom of the river, reflecting a colorful and fantastical picture. She felt that it was the most beautiful view she had ever seen, so the restaurant had the somewhat awkward name of the Phantom Agate River.
The restaurant is located at the intersection of 12th and 11th Streets, in the heart of the city, opposite the city hall of Turnell City. There is not a lobby like other restaurants, and from the entrance, there are staff members who guide Kevin and Durin into Box Nine.
Some people say that this is a hotbed of money and power trading, and some people say that this is a corrupt incubator, in short, the people who eat here either have a certain amount of power and pursue wealth, or they are not satisfied with their wealth and want to grasp a little power.
Pushing open the door of Box 9, the extravagant decoration gives the impression of being in a royal palace, where vermilion, gold and fluorescent white are always the main body, and every detail reflects the painstaking work of the designer.
The room has a huge table and a set of sofas next to it, behind which there are three doors that lead to two lounges and a dressing room.
There were two middle-aged men sitting at the table with surprised expressions, one of them was slightly chubby, a little bowed, white and tender. The other skin color is slightly dark, looking a bit like a provincial elegant person, there is a mustache on his lips, and his eyes are very sharp.
Kevin walked in and closed the door with his backhand, dragging his coat off and hanging it on a hanger, "This is my very good friend, Mr. Doolin." As soon as Kevin opened his mouth, the first thing he introduced was Dulin, so that the expressions of the two people had some adjustments, and then Kevin introduced Dulin to him, "This big man here is Mr. Gawain, a heroic veteran of the Empire, who is now working as the chief of the fire department." ”
"This is Mr. Plando, the patron saint of our city, the nemesis of criminals and evil, the chief of police!"
Durin took the initiative to walk over very humbly, bent over, shook the two of them gently with his outstretched hands, and returned to Kevin's side after a few simple greetings. Kevin is a very trustworthy person, how to say that he is also a lawyer who has become famous, is a person of integrity, and if he introduces the big man to Doolin, he will definitely introduce the big man to Doolin. As for whether Durin has the ability to climb these big names and whether he can become good friends with them, it has nothing to do with him.
After less than a minute of silence in the slightly calm box, Durin spoke.
Kevin looked at him with great interest, and the other two big men also looked at this kid with three points of pride, when Kevin did not introduce Durin's specific identity, they already understood that this was an unpopular kid.
"Mr. Plando, I'm going to go to the police station, I was doing business with the Reich's Central Bank the other day, and I picked up a key, but I couldn't find its owner. I was going to send it to the police station, but I didn't expect to be lucky enough to see you here, so I'm sorry to help it find its owner!", said Durin, who took out a key from his pocket that looked like silver, and the key was a little complicated in its workmanship, with intricate patterns carved on the key's head.
Anyone with the slightest knowledge will be able to recognize at a glance the origin of this key - the key to open the personal safe of the Reich's Central Bank.
In the next second, the pride on Planto's face disappeared, and a kind smile appeared, he pointed at Durin, and said with a smile: "It is very good that a wonderful young man retains the most basic morals in such an impetuous society. Since you entrusted it to me, I will take ...... of it", he stood up, took the key to the personal vault of the Imperial Central Bank from the hand of Durin, who had walked around half a circle to his side, and put it in his pocket properly.
Gawain watched a covert bribery and bribery with a blank face, and his eyes were still on Du Lin's body.
