NYPD Headquarters, Interrogation Room 1.

Brooklyn has been locked up here for two hours.

No one asked him about the situation, no one read Miranda advice to him, no one beat him roughly, he wanted to be forgotten.

Brooklyn was very calm. He repeatedly compared the vague memories after entering the police station, and found that he did not have the memories of the inherited body, but that he needed to see the corresponding person in the right place in order to awaken the relevant memories.

For example, he was at the scene of the crime, and his memory was vague at first, but after seeing Selena, the memory became clear.

The same goes for police stations.

From the moment he entered the door and was brought here, his memories were vague, until he saw a police officer in his 30s, and some of the relevant memories became clear.

The police officer's name is David Portman, the head of the New York Homicide Team, who knows him, and the two have a mutual friend.

He couldn't remember what his friend was called, what he was doing, or even whether it was male or female.

……

……

Another two hours passed, and it was getting dark, and no one paid any attention to him.

Brooklyn couldn't sit still.

It's anomalous.

As the first suspect in the homicide, no one came to interrogate him, which is unreasonable!

Just as Brooklyn was about to take some extreme measures, the door to the interrogation room opened.

David walked in.

"I thought you'd keep pretending you didn't see me."

Brooklyn tried to mimic the tone of an old friend's meeting.

His memory is just a fragment of the movie, how this person is, what his personality is, and what the tone of speech between the two of them is, all of which have to be summarized and explored by himself.

"Brooklyn, you're in trouble right now."

David ignored his complaints and said solemnly.

He sat across from Brooklyn and flipped through the folders, with report sheets and photographs lined up on the table.

"Here's a photo from the scene."

"This is a comparison of the fingerprints of the murder weapon."

"This is the result of a DNA comparison collected in the field."

"It's ...... Ay. ”

David pointed to the photo of the trash can and sighed.

"You tell me the truth." He looked up at the surveillance and asked in a low voice, "Is it you?" ”

David's attitude made Brooklyn feel relieved, it seems that this friend is still more reliable.

"Not me."

Brooklyn shook her head.

"I didn't kill her. It was she who was going to kill herself. I tried to salvage it, so the scene was full of my fingerprints and footprints. ”

"And these blood stains on my body."

Brooklyn gestured to his shirt, which had become crumpled and dirty after an afternoon of ravage.

"What the hell do you have in her hands?"

David asked through gritted teeth, with a hint of hatred for iron and steel.

"I warned you a long time ago, don't fool around around, you just don't listen!"

"You believe what I say?"

Brooklyn didn't dwell on the topic of fooling around, and instead asked.

"You've been a coward, since you were a child! It's okay to mess with flowers and grass, but you don't dare to kill people at all! ”

David said with a complicated expression.

"Your case is in the hands of the second team, they have already determined the case, and it has just been transferred to the District Prosecutor's Office, and it is estimated that the District Prosecutor's Office will submit an indictment to the court tomorrow morning."

"I can't help you. If you want to clear your name, you can only rely on yourself to defend yourself in court. ”

"Do you need me to get you an extra lawyer?"

Brooklyn thought for a moment, shook his head and refused.

In this kind of case, if someone else asks him to be a defense lawyer, he will also advocate that the client admit guilt. Because no one believes it when it is said!

The scene is full of your traces, and you told me that the deceased committed suicide?

Trouble!

"Don't be discouraged, didn't you say that you are the best lawyer in New York."

Seeing that Brooklyn looked abnormal, David comforted.

"Thank you."

Brooklyn smiled awkwardly. Instead, he asked

"How is it so fast?"

A homicide case like this is usually handled by the police with caution, and the relevant paperwork that needs to be filled out must be as thick as an Oxford dictionary, and it can't be done at all every one or two weeks.

"I don't know, but I've seen the documents, and they're all complete."

"Oh."

The atmosphere was a little awkward.

Brooklyn is a stranger pretending to be an acquaintance and doesn't know how to chat, while David is worried about Brooklyn and has no interest in chatting. So the two were silent for a while, and it was a hasty end.

"I've got a blanket there, I'll bring it to you later. You'll probably have to stay here tonight. ”

Before leaving, David brought him a blanket and comforted him a few more words before leaving.

Draped in a blanket, Brooklyn silently recalls every detail from the time she wakes up to the time she is brought into the interrogation room.

He is a lawyer, and he should be able to awaken another memory when he goes to court tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, which is beneficial to him.

But he also knows that it will be difficult to defend such a case, especially after the media exposure in the afternoon, which will be an uphill battle. Wanting to win, wanting to be acquitted, and not jeopardizing your future career, is as difficult as eliminating federal racism.

……

……

The day after the incident.

Brooklyn was still asleep when someone woke him up.

He was woken up by the rude fat man, and two papers were slapped in front of him.

One is an arrest warrant and the other is a court summons.

"Brooklyn Lee, you are suspected of murdering Ms. Selena, and now we will arrest you in accordance with the law."

The fat man gloated with a face of schadenfreude

"Didn't you ask Miranda for advice? Now it's here. ”

"You have the right to remain silent. If you don't remain silent, then everything you say can be used as evidence in your court. You have the right to a lawyer at the time of trial. If you can't afford to pay for a lawyer, we can get one for you. Are you fully aware of your rights as described above? ”

Brooklyn looked at the subpoena and saw that the time was even more "tight" than he had imagined.

The court asked him to appear for the hearing at 10 a.m. this morning.

Generally from the beginning of the crime, the police will intervene in the investigation, and will issue an arrest warrant to the judge, arrest the suspect, and release the suspect if he is wrong, and start the interrogation and paperwork when he is wrong.

When the relevant documents are ready, the police will transfer the case to the District Attorney's Office, and if the prosecutor agrees with the police's judgment, he will draft an indictment and submit it to the court to prosecute the suspect.

After the court accepts the case, a summons will be issued to require the suspect to appear in court for a hearing. The hearing can be in the judge's office or in a formal courtroom.

The hearing is to inform the defendant that he or she is entitled to pre-trial unless the defendant waives his or her right to pre-trial. Usually the judge will put the hearing together with the subsequent pre-trial and arraignment.

The hearing is to inform the defendant of his powers, and the pre-trial is to clarify the charges against the defendant. At arraignment, the judge reads the indictment to the defendant, stating the nature of the charges.

However, a new case is usually notified of whether or not to accept the case about a week after the indictment is filed, and the hearing time is fixed for as short as three days and as long as an unlimited time.

He's a little too fast, isn't he?

Is this the invisible benefit of those inside the court?

Brooklyn thought wildly, leaving the gloating fat man aside.

"Your Excellency, Judge Brooklyn Lee, you'd better hurry, you still have to attend the court hearing before ten o'clock. Standing in the dock. ”

The fat man said in a weird way.

"What's your name?"

Brooklyn asked, confused.

He could clearly feel the fat man's hostility towards him, but the problem was that he didn't wake up his memory at all in contact with the fat man.

That is, the two of them don't know each other at all!

Who says there is no such thing as love and hate for no reason? Isn't that it!

"You ......"

"Forget it, it doesn't matter. Let's go. Unimportant Mr. Constable. ”

Brooklyn was too lazy to take care of the inexplicable fat man, and took the initiative to stand up and say.
