Chapter Twenty-Six: Good luck to him in prison

In the inquiry room of the Warwick City Police Department, although the police did not impose any restrictions on themselves, Hugh Spade felt uncomfortable, just like when he went camping in the forest when he was a teenager, always feeling that there were some wild beasts watching around.

At this time, the young lawyer who had come to his aid from the teachers' union was sitting opposite him, flipping through the documents in his hand with a complicated expression:

"Mr. Hugh-Spader, you're saying that you sold a total of eighty addictive prescription pills, including fifty Addalle and thirty sleeping ketone, and charged ninety-six dollars and twenty-five cents, right?"

Hugh Spade nodded: "I've done it many times, yes, eighty grains, at most admonishment talk, and that's not poison." ”

"But what Dennis Herbs, a high school student who bought it, told the police was that he had bought a total of 150 addictive prescription pills for 96 dollars and 25 cents, including 100 Addlar and 50 sleeping ketone, and the police had their cooperation in getting those drugs from his locker at Lincoln High School." The lawyer exhaled softly.

"I told you that high school kid was lying." Hugh Spice said affirmatively.

The lawyer slowed down his speech and said as clearly as possible: "He submitted the recording to the police, although there is no specific amount, but there is a transaction amount in it, the high school student named Dennis Herbs, and the police can prove that if it is only eighty pills, it will definitely not be sold for the amount in the recording, unless the other party is a novice who has not bought similar drugs and was deceived for the first time, but Dennis Herbs is not a novice, he plays rock music, During the inquiry, it was also found that he had a habit of taking prescription drugs before, and he was not ignorant of this drug. ”

"That guy is lying, I only have eighty pills, all of them add up to eighty, and it's not mine, it's me from ......" Hugh Spice said as he looked at the lawyer in an irritated manner.

Seeing his irritated expression, the lawyer made a relaxed gesture and interrupted him: "That's what I'm going to say next, you told the police that these drugs were obtained from Miss Meloni Bianconi from the Docklands apartment in Warwick, and when the police questioned Miss Meloni-Bianconi, they took seventy pills of Adlar and twenty pills of sleeping ketone from her, and contrary to your answer, she said that those drugs were the ones you insisted on giving to her to let her help you sell them to the students even though she obviously refused, But she always refused to sell because of her sense of morality. ”

"That bitch is lying! That bitch's tenant is the real drug dealer! Hugh Spade clenched his hands into fists and banged on the table in an accentuated tone.

The lawyer ignored Hugh Spade's anger, and just continued to say in a calm voice: "Sir, you have already said this to the police, and the police do wonder why Dennis Herbs is recording the transaction, but they are curious about another question, that is, why did the two of them lie and frame you?" So far, I haven't found any reason, at least not the police, because of this trivial matter of buying and selling prescription drugs, so I'm going to ask again here, just to hope that you will think carefully about why they lied to you, and maybe help you to accuse them in turn. ”

Hugh Spade was suddenly stunned, staring at the young lawyer opposite!

He felt as if he was caught in a dilemma!

If you want to show that Melonie is lying and deceiving herself, then she has to admit that she used photos to blackmail him, although he is not a lawyer, but the basic legal knowledge is still understood, once he really confesses to him, or the police finally learn from Melonie's woman that the things they have done to her, at that time it would have been inconsequential to buy and sell drugs, at most it is a small trouble with public security issues, but it will become a criminal offense suspected of extortion and assault to cause harm to others.

Either admit that he sold drugs and end the matter, or admit what he did to Melonie before, give the police enough clarity to investigate, but in the end he backs on himself.

I silently calculated in my heart, of course, I admit to selling one hundred and fifty pills, and it is the best choice to quickly understand the trouble, and if the number of more than one hundred pills is to be registered by the Drug Enforcement Administration, put on the watch list, and be regularly tracked down by the Food and Drug Administration, although it is troublesome, but strictly speaking, I am not a crime, and I do not need to be imprisoned.

The other option, if you lose in court, is a real criminal offense.

Before the police knew Melonie because the case was too lightweight to dig deeper, Hugh Spade felt that he had to get out of here quickly, and before the woman could tell the police what she had done, find her, at least reassure the woman, and make sure that she didn't say anything to the police.

"I wonder what happens if I admit that those two guys are telling the truth? Will you lose your job? Hugh Spade struggled to tune in to his emotions and keep his voice as calm as possible, and questioned the lawyer.

The lawyer shrugged: "If nothing else goes wrong, the current situation will certainly not cause you to lose your current job as a teacher, but you will be put on a watch list, but don't worry, as long as you really don't do this business again in the future, then there will be no change in your life." ”

"When will I leave this place after I choose to admit it?"

"Are you sure you admit it? Admit that you left the ninety prescription pills for Miss Meloni Bianconi? I mean, if you admit it, you can sign a police reprimand and leave, after all, it's only a hundred and fifty prescription pills. ”

Hugh Spade made up his mind and spoke, "I confess, let me get out of this hellish place as soon as possible. ”

"Please come with me, sir." The young lawyer accompanied Hugh Spade out of the interview room, then went to the sheriff's office to sign a reprimand, register his personal information, and acknowledge that his information would be handed over by the police to the Drug Administration and Drug Enforcement Administration, before finally sending Hugh Spade out of the police station.

However, the lawyer did not leave, but returned to the police station, knocked on the door of another waiting room, and then pushed it open, and said to Andy Nelson and Meloni, who were sitting on the sofa chatting inside:

"He confessed, just left."

"OK, it's our turn, Miss Meloni Bianconi, I'll accompany you to the police, and with the help of your lawyer, you muster up the courage to tell the police the details of that case of illegal trafficking of prescription drugs, such as the extremely bad coercion used by Hugh Spader, poor man, just walked out and was about to be brought back." Andy Nelson got up from the couch, smiled at Melonie and stretched out his hand: "Miss, you have an extremely sharp and meticulous brain, you know what I'm talking about, of course, you don't have to admit it, I just want to praise you, with the help of the Holy Cross High School Parent Committee, to deal with a man who hurt himself, save expensive money, very beautiful means, my only regret is that you are a teacher, and you didn't think of relying on your mind to become a lawyer and join my firm, otherwise I promise, You'll be my favorite student. ”

Melonie slowly got up, took a deep breath, shook back with Andy Nelson, and instead of responding to the other, she asked, "What kind of punishment will he get?" ”

"Selling a large number of addictive prescription drugs is his own admission, he admits this article, and everything behind it cannot be cleared, such as using bad means to force others to sell drugs for him for profit, the means involve extortion and physical harm to others, etc., this law and order case will be turned into a criminal case, given that guy is a poor man and can't afford to hire a lawyer, so he can only let the court assign a young prosecutor to help him defend him, and the best lawyer in the state is standing in front of you at the moment, There's not much I can say about fighting for the poisoned minors at Holy Cross High School. Andy Nelson adjusted his tie to the reflection in the glass window, and finally said in a relaxed tone:

"Don't consider digging into his other problems, just if you stand in court and testify, I can give him a three-year sentence, and you can wish him good luck in prison in advance."
