In the days since Lynch started renovating his new house, Michael's case has taken a turn for the worse.

It was not Lynch, nor Michael, nor Director Johnson who stood up first, but his good partner.

This good partner has been partnered with Michael for twelve or thirteen years, and he is also the deputy head of the investigation team of the Sebin City Taxation Bureau, and in the eyes of many people, he has always been Michael's good brother, and there is almost nothing to say between the two.

No one thought that he would stand up first and confess some "details" that the media had not learned before.

In the description of the good partner, the conflict between Michael and Lynch stems from an unexpected "collision" between the two.

"Michael and I were walking down the street, and Lin ...... Lynch was walking down the sidewalk pushing a cart full of dirty laundry, and Michael pointed at Lynch and said, 'Hey, look at that kid, let's fix him.'" ”

The good partner showed a sad, regretful expression in front of the camera, "I thought he was just joking, but he obviously came for real, and then took me and attacked Mr. Lynch for no reason, without a search warrant, without an arrest warrant, and without any legal paperwork." ”

"He told me to search the cart and see if I could find anything accusing Mr. Lynch, and he took Mr. Lynch into the corner of the alley and beat him there......"

The reporters exclaimed, they could hardly imagine what kind of hatred could make an adult so brutal to a young man.

A reporter couldn't help but stand up, "Mr. Unnamed partner, did Michael and Lynch know each other before this, and do they have a grudge?"

The good partner shook his head, "They don't know each other, I don't know if there is a hatred, maybe Michael himself knows the reason......", and then he began to continue to narrate Michael's "atrocities", including blackmailing and beating the masthead, spitting blood and so on.

Things like these are more indicative of Michael's brutality and cruelty, and also make the media more inclined to Michael as a problematic investigator who has become accustomed to using violence to solve problems and even threaten ordinary, innocent people.

Later, Director Johnson also appeared in person, expressing his mistakes in work, he always thought that Michael would change, so much so that he indulged Michael's whereabouts in disguise, and he said that he also had to take unshirkable responsibility for this matter.

For a while, Michael's friends, his partners, his subordinates or people who knew him were interviewed by the media, and most of the results of these interviews were the same, Michael had serious violent tendencies, and his temper was also very impatient and irritable.

The media even was kicked out by the old man with a double-barreled shotgun when interviewing Michael's father, and the family became a new trend of public opinion with Michael's father - "How irritable can a person be".

People are beginning to shift the question of whether enforcement powers are excessive away from Michael's case and start to look at Michael himself.

Many people asked his friends and colleagues why they hadn't reminded Michael earlier that he had a bad temper, and many even answered that they were afraid that Michael would beat them.

The rapid turn of public opinion has satisfied the IRS above, and now there are not a few parliamentarians shouting stupid things like putting power in a cage, and people are rebuking Michael, which is good!

Less than a week after Lynch bought the house, Michael's case went to trial.

Lynch, as one of the main and known victims, needs to be present as a witness, and may be able to use him.

The court session was not held in open court on the grounds that too many media applications might interfere with the process of the trial and affect the order of the court, but in fact it was to ensure the correctness of the outcome of the trial.

The energy of the F.B.I. plus the IRS was enough to alarm the Justice Department, which issued a closed-door trial request to the City Court in Sebin a day in advance.

Because this is not a major criminal case, it can only be counted as an ordinary injury case, so there is no need for a jury, only the defendant, the defendant's defense lawyer, and the judge himself.

The courtroom was very empty, and Lynch sat in the audience and looked at Michael, who was obviously temporarily dressed up, his pale face made him look much haggard, and his dull hair also made him look embarrassed.

The judge asked more than a dozen questions in a row, and he answered most of them, except for a few that Michael refused to answer, and pleaded guilty.

The court pronounced the verdict and sentenced him to 87 months, or seven years and three months.

Considering that Michael was once a law enforcement officer in Sabin, he also personally sent some people to prison, and for his personal safety, his sentence will be spent in a more restrictive state prison in another state.

Michael was a little surprised by the sentence, but there was no appeal request, and the judge did not limit his mitigating clause when he handed down the sentence, in other words, he would not have been in prison for as long as seven years.

According to federal laws and regulations, he can reduce his sentence to less than three years in various ways, and then the Federal Tax Service will directly "expropriate" Michael on the grounds of the "Special Talent Expropriation Act", and then find a place to arrange it, and he will be free.

The entire sentence is actually less than three years, which is also the result of Director Johnson's personal assurance, so Michael will not raise the idea of appealing, there is no need for this.

Once the appeal is tried in the state court, the situation may be worse, and the federal judges are very idealistic in the sentencing process, if they feel that Michael's appeal behavior is uncontrollable and irritable, it is a provocation to the court and the law, and it may increase the sentence and limit the reduction of the sentence.

At this point, the matter is over, and after the verdict is announced, the media gets the result of the trial as soon as possible, and then the whole federation knows the result one day, and people start to engage in new topics after a short period of group justice.

A storm disappeared out of people's sight, and everyone seemed to be happy.

Director Johnson was praised by the state office, Michael's partner, the deputy head of the investigation team of the tax office, was regularized, the team members changed, those behind the scenes were also satisfied with the silence, and the people left the scene with satisfaction after watching a big show.

Everyone left satisfied, which was funny.

"Mr. Lynch!"

As soon as he got rid of the fearless entanglement of the reporter, and walked out about 100 meters, two children with dirty caps stopped in front of him, he knew one of them, the child who had exchanged ninety-seven cents for one dollar, a newspaper boy.

Lynch casually put his hand in his trouser pocket, there was a pen in the pocket, he pushed off the cap with his fingers, once a guy said "pen and pen like a knife" while killing a guy, he wasn't sure if he was that fierce, but at least it gave him a little confidence.

He watched the children stab the masthead to death that night, and the hidden fangs of the children were more striking than the pity they showed.

"Is there something wrong?", Lynch has some smiles on his face, and he always smiles, like the weather is always so good and the sun is always so bright.

The two teenagers glanced at each other, and one of them patted his backpack, "Sir, I have a lot of change here, do you still need it?"

The children were temporarily relieved after the Masthead's death, but only temporarily, as the situation quickly changed.

They need to pay their families or orphanages to hire these children on time, and they also need to make some social connections.

They can bring back the money to the orphanage and the family, but they can't do anything about the connections in society, so they can't get the newspaper anymore, and the newspaper refuses to wholesale the newspaper to these minors.

At the same time, there are some problems at the recycling station, they have been lowering the price, and they can only sell a few or a dozen yuan a day for twenty or thirty yuan or more scrap products.

If they argue a few words, the scrapyard refuses to recycle, which makes the children start to panic, if they are not able to solve the current situation, soon they will be sent to someone else by their guardians, they now need a way out.
