After reading the "Transaction" for a while, Lynch picked up the local newspaper again, and most of the things learned in the Transaction Newspaper were macro changes, which did not have much effect on Lynch now.

On the contrary, some local newspapers can provide him with some important information, so that he can understand some local changes faster.

For example, several factories have closed, and large numbers of unemployed workers have flooded the streets, making the already unsafe security even more unsafe.

For example, if a male cat in a family is pregnant, and its belly is swollen and looks like it is about to give birth, the cat owner is said to have hired a special nurse to take care of the male cat.

For example, the milkman on the farm said that he was kidnapped by aliens, and the aliens snatched a handful of his leg hair and put him back, and he also drew the appearance of the alien spaceship and the alien with the help of the painter.

And...... Lynch glanced at the directory and flipped to the Chinese version of the local news newspaper, which contained a small piece of news that Michael, the former head of the investigation team of the tax bureau who had recently been transferred to other regional prisons to serve his sentence, admitted that he had asked his children to take some responsibility for themselves in order to escape the law.

Now he has realized his mistake and turned himself in to the prison administration, and the court handed down the sentence yesterday.

Michael Jr. was acquitted, but Michael's sentence was increased by 40 months, three years and four months, plus the previous sentence, even if Director Johnson wants to use the "Extraordinary Talent Recruitment Regulations" to get Michael out, I am afraid there is little chance.

Seven years later, Director Johnson didn't know where he went, and maybe he was able to do so, for example, when he was promoted to the state office as an adviser.

But it's also possible that he doesn't have the ability to do that, and as we all know, the storekeeper can't activate such an ordinance at all, even if he nominally rises to the state office of the tax office.

It's a "deal" that I don't know if it's a good deal or not.

Maybe it has different values in the eyes of different people, for example, in the eyes of the Michaels, at least the deal is a good deal, and Michael Jr. got out of prison a few months early, and also received such an important verdict as "not guilty".

The state court took into account some specific facts and held that if Michael asked Michael Jr. to do something, the two parties were father and son, and at the same time the relationship was master-slave, and it was difficult for Michael Jr. to refuse.

Coupled with Michael's age, the charges of cover-up and perjury were not established, and the judge of the state court gave Michael Jr. a final verdict of "not guilty" very humanely.

This also means that the stain on Michael's life that originally fell on Michael's file has been completely erased because of this verdict and Michael's additional sentence of more than three years.

The trajectory of his life has changed somewhat.

Just as Lynch pouted to express his indignation at Michael's plight and a certain amount of humanitarian sympathy, the doorbell rang.

Lynch put down the newspaper, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, got up and walked to the living room, and the maid briefly cleaned up the things on the table, and then busily went to open the door for Lynch.

It's very rare to get a good job these days, let alone such a job that only requires cleaning.

Lynch usually lays on the couch and watches TV to pass the time whenever she is not at home, and she has a good salary every month, which is why she cares about this job, which is why she wants to talk to Lynch in private, she hopes to work here for a longer time.

The door to the house was quickly opened, and Director Johnson, who was standing outside the door, was stunned for a moment when he saw the maid's attire, and quickly looked away.

The ghost knows if these people will have some unspeakable little fetishes, in case he annoys Lynch by looking at them a few more times, or if some accident happens, he really can't tell what he wants.

After a brief inquiry, the maid led Director Johnson to the living room and then left on her own initiative.

"I just saw you in the newspaper. Lynch shook hands with Director Johnson and sat back, he crossed his legs and looked at Director Johnson with a smile on his face, "Is there anything for you?"

It seems to be a very normal attitude, but Director Johnson feels a temperament hidden by these things on Lynch's surface, something that cannot be said.

Perhaps, it's also a bit like arrogance, not very well described.

What he said, his expression was just for the sake of perfunctory, and Director Johnson was sure of that.

He didn't care about Lynch's performances, but asked a little strangely, "Did I get in the newspaper?"

According to the unwritten rules, the leaders of a certain authority in a region will not take the initiative to appear in front of the media and the public without the consent of the other party.

On the one hand, it is to maintain and protect their mystery, and on the other hand, it is also to avoid causing them trouble.

There are always a lot of crazy people in this world, who never think about whether what they do is in line with the rules, they only do what they want to do, including harassing people who they think hurt themselves, even if they don't.

Lynch nodded, "I see Michael's sentence increase......"

When he heard this, Director Johnson scratched his head and said with a wry smile, "I knew I couldn't hide it from you, I did it, and it also had something to do with my intentions." ”

Lynch bowed slightly, realizing that he continued to speak, and at the same time he realized the purpose of Director Johnson's visit.

But he won't take the initiative to say it, some things he says by himself, which may be more valuable, but sometimes he says it himself, but it doesn't have a very good effect.

Michael is serving a prison sentence, and little Michael is also in prison exclusively, Michael's wife may not know how to face the sudden changes in life until now, and no one in this family has the ability to change the status quo.

There is only one person left who can change and has the right to change like this, and that is Michael's old boss, Director Johnson.

Lynch would not suspect that Michael's colleagues did it, and no matter what the circumstances of those people stepped on Michael, they would not allow themselves to have any more contact with Michael, except for Johnson.

This is a good old man, and sometimes it's hard to say right or wrong if you're too kind.

After hesitating for a while, Director Johnson sighed helplessly, "I met Michael two days ago, and he said that this matter ended here, and at the same time he regretted what he did to you before, and asked me to convey his apologies to you, I hope you can forgive him......", Lynch nodded his head and said that he knew, but judging from the expression on his face that did not change, it seemed that he didn't care about Michael's statement.

Think about it, ten years later, a prisoner who has just been released from prison, a big man who may have been more successful, has long had no chance to have anything to do with each other, why should he care?

But there are still some things that need to be resolved, and Director Johnson continued, "this thing...... We spent a lot of money, and when Michael Jr. came back, he had to go to another school to re-study, plus some other expenses......"

Director Johnson subconsciously rubbed his palms a little crampedly, to be honest, he may not be a good person, but he has almost never broken the law, let alone done something like today.

Hearing this, Lynch realized that it was almost over, and he first expressed his attitude, "There is nothing good between me and Michael, and there is no friendship, even if his wife and children have to go to the roadside to beg, they deserve it." ”

"But ......," he said, "I am good friends with you, and I am willing to help you when you are in trouble, and this is not because of Michael's bullshit, but because of you, Director Johnson." ”

Lynch's words made him a little annoyed, a little sighing, but also a little inexplicably proud?

In fact, when a person's value is affirmed by others, and when a higher affirmation is given, they will be happy about it.

"I don't know ......," Director Johnson was a little dazed.

Lynch took out the transfer checkbook, wrote a number, and handed it over, "For your sake, in the spirit of humanitarianism, I am willing to help this poor family, but I need someone to oversee the use of this money, and give it to them in parts, do you have time to do this, Director Johnson?"

With a tear, the check was torn off the checkbook by Lynch, holding it in his hand, and he was waiting for the other party's answer.
