With a hard hand, he pulled her into his arms, and the other hand moved up and down her lap.

Yelena was amused and giggled, which made Edward even more "hot".

I can't help but think of the famous scenes of my previous life.

With a stab, he ripped off the expensive stockings.

Elena exclaimed, and Edward grinned and touched the hip-length knitted pullover.

"Hey, tap, I'll just have a shirt."

"It's okay, I'll call Macy's in a moment and ask them to send you a call tomorrow morning at eight o'clock."

"yes, oh...... No...... Oh ......, why call again later? ”

"Because you're busy right now, aren't you?" Edward's mouth spoke, and his hands and feet were not idle, "The quality of your clothes doesn't seem to be good, and the hem is too loose......"

"yes, you're the first to say that, hey, it's a little cold in here."

"Don't worry, baby, you'll be hot in no time, no, you'll be hot...... It's like a fire! ”

……

All in all had a very pleasant night.

Edward experienced the Russian style firsthand, especially when Yelena also let go, and after half a bottle of vodka was eaten, she really achieved enthusiasm and was even more addictive.

Edward's own alcohol consumption is average, and alcohol can be absorbed through the skin, especially mucous membranes, and soon, his eyes are more trance-like, and his movements are more rough.

And Yelena's slender and tall figure is extremely tough, no matter how crazy Edward is, she can resist it.

This made someone even more desperate, and the next day, October 8, he slept until 10 o'clock.

There was no one around, just a note, "You owe me a dozen knitwear shirts, and I'll ask you to pay the bill at any time." ”

Edward rubbed his head, looked at the few scattered blonde hairs on the pillow, and felt that life seemed to be quite beautiful for a while, but his waist seemed to be a little sore.

After washing up and tidying up while reminiscing about last night, he began to sit down at the table again and began to study how to clean up the damn Judge Leyard in the courtroom.

The day passed uneventfully, and in the evening, Edward was wondering if Elena would come to collect the debt, and this was the time she had come yesterday, when the doorbell rang.

He was in a good mood and hummed "whydoesthesungoonshiningwhydoesthesearushtoshore, donottheyknowitistheendoftheworld" and went downstairs to open the door.

"Hey...... Uh......" opened the door, but it wasn't the blonde and blue-eyed beauty.

A guy in an earthy trench coat with a top hat with a low brim stood in front of him.

It's not necessarily obtrusive, but it shouldn't be in New York, and it would be more fitting in if it was Chicago.

Just as he was about to ask a question, two adult men in brown jackets suddenly flashed out of sight by the door, one of them pushed him, Edward was caught off guard and staggered into the room, and the other immediately walked in quickly and stood by his side, pulled out his pistol and pointed it at his waist, "Don't speak, we have no ill will." ”

Edward broke out in a cold sweat.

In order to be quiet, he hung up the exemption card, and no one would come here these days, which means that he can't count on foreign aid.

The guy who lowered the brim of his hat slowly walked into the room, and another jacket customer immediately followed, vigilantly stretched out his head to look left and right, and then gently closed the door and turned on the chandelier switch.

The spacious living room instantly brightened up.

"What are you going to do? This is not a place to mess around? "Edward is bluffing" If I don't make a sound for a while, the police will come to the door at any time. ”

"Don't be so rude to Mr. Edward, we are all civilized people, we shouldn't greet each other with a pistol," the man said, taking off his iron-gray top hat and handing it to a jacketer.

"Solomon!" Edward was shocked.

He would never have imagined that it would be this rival who came to visit him in this way.

"Sorry to bother you, I hope you don't bother." Solomon stretched out his right hand to him.

Edward's hands were still raised above his head, and he didn't call the other party's politeness, looking frightened, but the sneer on his face showed that it was not the case, and seeing that it was an acquaintance, he was relieved, at least for a short time, his life was safe.

This is New York, not South America, even if it is a murder, it is necessary to talk about the Basic Law, since Solomon appeared in person, he definitely did not come to ask for his own life, which I believe that the brain of this rising star of law will not be so confused.

In this case, Edward is willing to show toughness, and it is never too late to kneel when the situation is not right.

"Put the gun away." Solomon sighed, "I'm sorry, but I have to be cautious, though I know it's unnecessary. I beg your pardon, if one day, you will be in my place and it will be like this. ”

His right hand was still outstretched, and a gentle smile was still on his face.

The beautiful Solomon is worthy of his name, even if he is not good at coming now, but his appearance and demeanor are really impossible to find fault, and Edward is even a little ashamed of himself.

Edward shook hands with him, "Please sit down, what to drink?" ”

"What Yelena drank yesterday, I'm as good as she is......"

Edward's face sank: "You're spying on me?" ”

"That's part of caution...... Hope you understand. The other party once again politely apologized.

Edward mischievously poured him a glass of vodka, at room temperature, without ice cubes and with no black tea.

For most of the Chinese people, this way of drinking is a punishment, which is roughly equivalent to a file to scrape the throat and a hemp rope to pull chrysanthemums.

Solomon's face was a little unpleasant, "That woman...... Sure enough, what kind of agreement did you reach? ”

Seeing that the other party did not express doubts about the ice cubes and black tea, Edward quietly breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that he and Yelena are really not in the same group, then the intention will be simpler, but I am afraid that it will be more troublesome to deal with.

"Coffee?" He asked

"Thanks, no sugar and no milk."

"Okay, do you have any room here where these two guys can stay? We're going to talk about a few things next. ”

"Turn right when you go out, there's a small bar, the environment is good" Edward won't let these two dangerous people stay alone in the room without surveillance, what if there is a bugging device or something?

"Well, you guys go out, and rest assured that Mr. Edward is a civilized man. I'm fine. Solomon ordered.

He then took off his long trench coat, which was taken by a jacket and hung on a coat rack.

Then the two left.

"About Elena," Solomon spoke again.

"Now that you know she's coming, you should be very clear about the meaning of her coming, so why let me repeat it again, besides, she's much easier to talk than you." Edward sarcastic.

"I'll admit, at least in this case, if one day you stand against her, believe me, you'll miss the wonderful times you had dealing with Solomon Bronheim. In fact, my reputation in the circle has always been good, although sometimes I seem strong, but it is also for the sake of business, for the common good of both parties, I can only choose to give up some face-saving things. Overall, I am a refined businessman and do not want to let my counter-business partners suffer. ”

"Deal?" Edward raised his eyebrows, "Don't let the other party suffer." ”

"Yes, deals. Only those that can benefit both parties can be called a deal, otherwise it is just a one-sided oppression, although it seems to be less costly, but in the long run, it is not a good idea. I prefer to make deals, and although the atmosphere may be a bit bad during the negotiation, when the deal is done, we can become friends and continue to work with each other next time. ”

"An out-of-court agreement?" Edward drank his coffee, his tone still mocking.

"Listen" Solomon was not provoked, but still patiently explained: "I know that you have a stomach full of resentment, both for my visit and for the case itself. I understand that, really, I'm a very empathetic person. So, you might as well hear my point of view first? ”

"Please," Edward nodded.

"Let's talk about this case first, I only have one sentence, Hines is an idiot, and of course I am."

Edward replied earnestly, "I don't think so. If you're stupid, the U.S. justice system would probably be a mental hospital or a sanatorium for the mentally disabled. And I, I'm afraid, am a long-term resident in the basement of a mental hospital. ”

"The reason I'm stupid is that I misestimated the abilities of a fool, and then I chose to be lazy, and it looked like I was playing beautifully, but as a result, I was afraid to pay more. At the end of the day, I don't know enough about idiots. If you were the Special Prosecutor, it would have been much easier for me. Solomon smiled wryly, then drank his coffee, as if to calm his emotions.

He did regret it, this time he thought that he could do it as a last resort, he didn't need to go too deep into it, seep out of the chess game, and then gently pluck it on the sweet spot a few times, so that things could develop in the direction he expected, but he didn't expect it to be like this in the end.

It was obviously not appropriate to put all the blame on Hines, who knew in his heart that in the end, he still underestimated his enemy, or that he did not know enough about his stupid teammates.

He underestimated both the god-like rivals of Rustberg and Edward, and underestimated the internal destructiveness of Hines, who was not a pig teammate, but it was appropriate to say that he was a curly-haired baboon.

At this point, he could only go out in person and use this rather ugly way to have a showdown with Edward "not elegant at all, not civilized at all......"

The sigh in Solomon's heart, Edward naturally didn't know, but he could feel that the helplessness of the guy in front of him was real, not fake.

"Well, let's take a look at the case from the beginning, and look at the ideas and motivations of all sides of this game."

Edward nodded, it always benefits to listen to the other person's point of view, "Do you want coffee?" Or maybe I have some snacks here, my mother's gold silk rolls, traditional flavors, pretty good...... Come a little? ”

"Okay, eating something sweet can raise blood sugar and help our brain think better. And frankly speaking, the level of coffee you have here and your defense ability are not at the same level at all, and the coffee beans you bought in Starbucks are ......."

Edward rolled his eyes and nodded in acknowledgement, but said in his heart, "You Jew, don't be so picky, okay, it's not Ferry ......"

"When the case is over, I'll send you a few packs, you can try it, the varieties of Indochina are quite good, and now I probably understand why the president is determined to fight the Vietnam War......"

Edward chuckled in agreement.

Solomon gets to the point, first of all, why everyone was motivated to work toward an out-of-court plea deal in the first place:

Bergman's motives: 1. Fear of death in prison;

2. I am afraid that my son will be sentenced together, which will damage the family's reputation and affect the future money;

3. Fear that endless lawsuits will cost a lot of money;

4. Knowing that he is guilty of a serious crime, admitting guilt and giving a light sentence can be regarded as a concession and avoiding the limelight.

5. Frightened by the media.

Hines's motivations:

1. For the budgeting and preparation and regularization of the new department;

2. I accidentally discovered David Hill's problem, and I just took this opportunity to ask for credit from above and pave the way for my future development;

3. I am afraid that Ruthberg will be mad and will fight the lawsuit to the end, so I want to fix these two charges as soon as possible through out-of-court settlement. After that, naturally, the top of the Democratic Party will solve the problem.

Solomon's motives:

1. The case of David Hill is an opportunity to show his superiors what he is capable of;

2. Let Hines "work for free" for himself, and he can reap the benefits by paying a little work;

Judge Frankel of the Federal Court:

1. Judging from the evidence provided by the prosecution, the lenient sentence is correct - according to the indictment and the law;

2. As a federal judge, his status is relatively detached, and he does not care much about the game between the two parties behind the case;

3. Reaching an out-of-court agreement can save him time in court

Judge Leyard of the State Court:

1. Same as Judge Frankl

2. Same as Judge Frankl Article 3

3. As local grassroots judges and Democrats, they know the tricks involved, so they did not make a written commitment when reaching an agreement, but only verbally vague, trying to adjust their strategies as the situation changes

Ruth Berg:

There is no choice, according to the work ethic but to listen to Bergman.

Edward nodded as he listened, it should be said that what Solomon said was basically consistent with his and Lustberg's judgment, which showed that this should be the case, and that the other party was not lying.

Solomon sighed, put down his coffee cup, took it up, closed his eyes and poured half a cup into his mouth, "Shit, it's really FXXK's spicy." ”

Edward was embarrassed, "I'll get you some ice cubes, or I've got vodka in the fridge, and I'll give you another drink." ”

"No, thank you, the pungency of this thing can tell me how stupid I am this time, and I can remember it every time I drink vodka in the future, and this unpleasant memory is also a good reminder for individuals."

Edward shrugged and motioned for him to continue.

"Here are the reasons why this incident has become uncontrollable, and may even turn into a farce"

1. Hines is a fool who has no courage and thinks he is smart: he wants to solve the case without daring to go out and be infamous, but tries to maintain his public image while pushing the pressure and the final decision to Judge Leyard through insinuation and other scheming means

2. Hines manipulated the media too hard, and Solomon also secretly mobilized the media, the combination of the two forces led to a storm of public opinion, which was very beneficial to the case in the early stage, and even formed a positive feedback

3. The social environment at this time made the Bergman case evolve into a huge social problem that swept the whole United States, and when the media and individuals were deeply involved, they could only involuntarily follow the trend, and anyone who went against the trend would suffer a huge backlash

4. In this case, the best way to dispel it is to clarify Bergman's real crime from the source and speak with the truth, but it is no longer possible under the storm of public opinion; Second, Judge Leyard strictly adhered to the agreement and gave a lenient sentence, and then used judicial authority to force the media to check the truth, but Judge Leyard also did not have the courage to do so.

Edward interjected: "I've only heard rumors that tell the truth, and it is said that many people believe it to be true. But for the first time, I heard of using justice to force the truth. Justice is for finding out the truth, and while it sounds similar to the coercion, ......" he shrugged, signaling that you understand.

Solomon smiled wryly and continued

5. Therefore, Judge Leyard chose to resentence in violation of the out-of-court agreement.

6. Bergman was hit so hard that he angrily decided to appeal to the end

7. The crucification of Dawei Hill has a new variable with the re-entry of Ruthberg

"Okay, that's the personal side and the situation so far, and then let's see what the two parties want to do after the case, and what they plan to do. In a way, I can now represent my organization, at least in the short term."

Republican goals: Bergman must not go back to prison, and the David Hill-related case ends here to ensure David Hill's victory in the November 5 election.

Republican Actions:

1. Mobilize the media to win back the field of public opinion

2. Roseberg's intervention in the second trial gave hope to the Republican Party that it could win the lawsuit without special means.

3. But knowing that Rushberg was upright, he was afraid that finding her would easily cause trouble, so he privately communicated with Edward, and suggested that the two sides cooperate to use Edward's mouth and the ability to use the media to whitewash the Republican Party, and at the same time provide judicial resources to fight the Democrats.

"But haven't the two chambers, especially the House of Representatives since Roosevelt, always been in your hands," Edward interjected.

"yes, but this is David Hill, and he must be sniped with all his might, and it's the New York district, so I don't need to say more."

Edward nodded, "That's right."

Now comes to Solomon himself.

Solomon's ultimate goal: to detain Dawei Hill through the case, otherwise he will become a joke in the organization after spending so many resources and then get rid of him, and his ability and future will be seriously affected, so he can only leave Hines aside and jump to the front desk to go out in person.

The purpose of the Democratic Party: At this point, we can only make David Hill stink at all costs, otherwise the backlash of public opinion will make the Democrats themselves unbearable

Now there are only two ways for Solomon:

1. Solve problems by unconventional means.

Speaking of this, Solomon smiled bitterly again: "Although you are young, you should understand that 'unconventional means' work well, but the cost of use is huge, and once it is exposed, it will ......"

"Okay, so your second way is to find me and let me release the water, so that you can win the case with a little influence on the judges, and let David Hill fall into the vortex of bribery before the election."
