Chapter 247, Trust
The next morning. Nelly and Bob had already learned about Jerry's hospitalization from Brooklyn, and they had agreed to visit Jerry in the hospital after work in the afternoon.
Brooklyn spoke to Winston on the phone this morning, and Jerry had some mild concussions, but otherwise nothing was unusual.
If it weren't for Patty and Winston, he would have come to work. According to federal regulations, such injuries are usually required to stay in the hospital for 2-3 days of observation before being allowed to be discharged.
After learning that Bennett, who hurt Jerry, had been taken away by the police, everyone was a little embarrassed. Jerry's comments about Bennett are still in his ears, and in the blink of an eye, he was taken to the hospital, and if it weren't for the presence of his neighbors, he would have almost been killed.
When Brooklyn went to the hospital with Ray in the middle of the night last night, he didn't see the police, which doesn't mean that the police won't send someone to the hospital, but Jerry has a special status, and the governor was there at the time, and the police left plenty of private space for the governor's family.
Brooklyn was more interested in Jerry's rescue. According to what Winston heard from the police, it was Dexter who saved Jerry!
What's even more incredible is that Jerry lives right next to Dexter! After receiving the news, Brooklyn's gaze at Winston became strange.
Dexter is the Bay Area killer, this matter is only known to the three Brooklyn brothers, until now, David is still trying to find the evidence left by the Bay Area killer.
According to Ray, David brought all the information about the Bay Area killer home, and the home was full of horrific photos of bagged stumps, and a good home was decorated as a haunted house by David.
A police officer looking for a wanted serial killer becomes a lifesaver for the governor's son.
Whereas Winston values Jerry, Brooklyn is very suspicious, and even if he knows Dexter's identity, he will choose to keep it a secret from him.
The Bay Area killer eucalyptus is likely to become a real hanger...... Brooklyn held a three-second silence in his heart for David, and was dragged by Bob to the courtroom.
He has two sessions this morning, one in the afternoon, and one that he needs to attend, and he will have to meet with Frederick, a child advocacy group.
"Ask Nelly to sort out some of the documents that need my signature, and bring them with you when you go to Courtroom 8 in the afternoon." Brooklyn commanded.
Bob nodded sympathetically. He can also be regarded as an old man who follows Brooklyn, and has watched Brooklyn go from having a lot of free time to the way it is now, and one time has to be broken into three parts.
At the same time, you have to sign and talk to Frederick. Unaware that Bob was staring at his back with sympathetic eyes, Brooklyn tugged at the collar of his robe and stepped into Courtroom No. 9.
The two incidents in the morning were not complicated, the first was that of an unlucky couple who bought a second-hand house and dug up a dried corpse from the wall.
The identity of the dry corpse was confirmed to be the wife of the original owner, and the police have confirmed that the original owner is the murderer. Ten years ago, the house had just been built and was in the renovation phase, and the original owner was based in Pennsylvania, so he needed to run at both ends.
By chance, the original owner saw his wife walking into the house with a construction worker, and suspected that his wife was cheating.
The original owner did not have a seizure on the spot, he quietly returned to Pennsylvania, called his wife and said that he was going to see an important client next weekend, and it was inconvenient to go home, so he asked his wife to go to the new house to supervise the work.
Then the original owner dismissed the workers under the pretext of replacing them with a group of carefully selected workers who liked to drink too much.
On the weekend, the selected group of workers did not leave after finishing their work, but stayed in the new house to drink beer and watch a football game, just in time to bump into the owner's wife.
The owner's wife, a cleanliness person, changed her face on the spot and got into a big argument with the workers, threatening to fire them and call the police.
Workers stopped the homeowner's wife, and a physical altercation ensued. The workers were already drunk, and with the help of alcohol, the workers accidentally knocked out the owner's wife.
Seeing the large pool of blood on the ground, the workers woke up and fled in a panic. The owner of the house hid in the shadows and waited until there was no one in the house before entering the house, only to find that his wife was not dead, but had just fainted.
So the owner of the house had to take matters into his own hands and build his wife into the wall. The situation is not complicated, and the police finally locked down the owner through many clues.
The owner of the house was not prepared to be arrested, he argued that the workers had killed his wife on the spot, and when he came back, he found that his wife was dead, but he loved his wife too much to be separated from her, so he built her into the wall and kept her with him.
If it weren't for the failure of the business and the bankruptcy, he wouldn't have sold the house. His remarks made Brooklyn sick enough.
After going through the necessary process, Brooklyn was just about to announce the continuation when Bob walked over.
"Prosecutor Anne is looking for you." Bob whispered in Brooklyn's ear.
"Looks like she's in a hurry." Brooklyn was a little puzzled, and was about to ask when the screen of the mobile phone buckled on the table lit up, and David called.
Brooklyn picked up the phone, got up and left the courtroom.
"Blue, I need a search warrant. Prosecutor Anne will explain the specifics to you. It's urgent. David finished with a roar and hung up the phone.
Brooklyn stared at the extinguished screen for a moment, then turned and walked towards the inner court, taking two steps and stopping.
"Bob, if I don't come back in half an hour, I'll move the trial to the afternoon, and the second one to the afternoon." Bob made an OK gesture and walked into the courtroom.
Inner court. When Brooklyn returned to the office, Anne Aldington was already waiting inside. The two are already familiar with each other, so the process of greeting is omitted.
"What are you doing with David?" Brooklyn asked, walking over to a chair and sitting down. In terms of working relationships, Brooklyn is not as familiar as David and Anne Aldington.
Most of the cases that Anne Aldington took over would be sent to state courts, and even if they were to federal courts, they would not necessarily end up in Brooklyn courts.
David, on the other hand, works in the Murder Unit, and it is common for him to work with the District Prosecutor's Office, and Anne prefers to follow the detection process.
They spent much more time in contact than Brooklyn did with Anne. And it's not just Annie, as far as Brooklyn knows, David has had a lifelong relationship with at least four prosecutors in the District Attorney's Office to arrest criminals.
Anne Aldington recounted the follow-up to the 1.7 billion Powerball and finally said
"David plans to detain the lawyer and apply for a search warrant to search the lawyer's home."
"He thinks the lawyer is well-planned, not like someone who is doing this kind of thing for the first time."
"He's going to start with something else?" Brooklyn guessed David's train of thought. It's actually quite simple.
David thinks that the lawyer has done other similar cases before, and since the Angus couple's relationship is at an impasse, he should start from the previous case, find the flaw, and then lead to the Angus.
"What if not? Did he guess? Brooklyn offers another possibility. He has a different identity from David and Anne.
What David and Anne need is to solve the case, get the evidence, and bring the murderer to the courthouse. There may be some mishandling in this process, but it doesn't matter, as long as the eucalyptus is cracked, the flaws can be covered up.
Brooklyn is different. Once he signs a search warrant and the police find nothing in the lawyer's house, his act of signing the warrant becomes unexplained.
Why should a search warrant be issued against a law-abiding citizen? Just because of a word from the police? The police don't even have evidence!
Anne Aldington didn't answer, and the question wasn't asked of her.
"You'd better hurry." Anne Aldington reminded
"They haven't revealed any signs of suspicion of lawyers and are currently using Julie Angus to hold lawyers back. But they only have 2 hours left. ”
"After two hours, they had to release Julie. Unless they come up with evidence of Julie's crime. ”
"Once the evidence of Julie's crime is presented, there is a risk that the lawyer will be disturbed, and the lawyer will most likely escape."
"Nelly!" Brooklyn thought for a moment and then made a decision. He called Nelly and signed his name on the search warrant.
"Let's go." Closing the pen, Brooklyn handed the search warrant to Anne and stood up. Brooklyn's decisiveness surprised Anne.
In fact, she came to Brooklyn with no bottom in her heart. After listening to David's analysis, she also believes that there is something wrong with the lawyer and agrees with David's strategy.
But they have no evidence. Without evidence, the judge will not sign the search warrant, and some judges will not even show their faces.
Not to mention that they have no evidence now, it is all a matter of speculation, and sometimes even if they have evidence, the judge may not sign the search warrant.
The reason they went to Brooklyn instead of going to the state court or to the judge on duty was because they didn't have much time left.
David had already sent the action team to guard outside the lawyer's house, and when the search warrant arrived, he would break down the door and conduct a search.
"We'll definitely find proof!" Anne Aldington assured Brooklyn. Brooklyn was amused by Anne's comfort.
"Let's go, if he can't find it at home, he will look for his place of work, or a ......bank, or a safe," Anne nodded at Brooklyn, grabbing the search warrant and pulling out her phone as she walked out.
"David, the search warrant is here, act now. I went straight to the scene. Okay, we'll meet on site. Two hours later, Brooklyn was still in the courtroom, and the phone screen lit up.
He listened to the homeowner's quibbles as he unlocked his phone and read the information. The message was sent by Anne Aldington, and there was only a photo of two police officers sandwiching a yelling man between the left and the right.
This is really a clue.
"goodjob" Brooklyn replied. Before he could put down his phone, Anne immediately replied to the message.
"You're not bad either." Brooklyn shook his head and smiled, not looking back. In the courtroom, the owner of the house is telling the love story of him and his wife with affection, telling his grief and nostalgia after losing his wife, and he is moved to tears.
Suddenly, he saw Brooklyn shaking his head and smiling, which immediately interrupted his train of thought.
"If you love your wife so much, why don't you live in New York hardly?" The prosecution seized the opportunity and asked questions.
The owner of the house couldn't answer. Brooklyn put down her phone and looked at Bob. Bob gestured to his wrist to remind him to keep an eye on the time.
Counting the time Anne delayed, the first trial took nearly three hours, and the time was almost twelve o'clock, and the second one could not start.
Brooklyn simply let this round of cross-examination continue, moving the second one to the afternoon. ………………………… Three o'clock in the afternoon.
Due to the failure to complete the trial as planned in the morning, Brooklyn had to go straight to the trial after lunch, and try to speed up the trial process while ensuring quality, and finally catch up with it at 3 o'clock sharp.
After the adjournment was announced, Brooklyn returned to the inner court to change into his robes, walked into Courtroom No. 8 with a glass of water, and sat down in the corner.
Bob sat behind him with a stack of papers in his arms, holding a stack of papers. Courtroom 8 is different from Courtroom 9 in that it is noisy, like a playground on the weekend.
After Clement appeared, things didn't get much better. Clément Chad is one of the new judges who filled the vacancy of Judge Lylly Crewe for defamation.
This is a little too young and inexperienced, and he can't deter the lawless media very well.
This is still the situation when the Brooklyn verdict continues to be hot, and the media has reined in.
In the past, it was more 'lively'. Brooklyn coughed disapprovingly. The media sitting around didn't pay attention at first, but when they heard the cough, they looked back and found that it was Brooklyn sitting next to them, and they immediately became honest.
The quiet atmosphere started in Brooklyn and spread outward, soon radiating throughout the auditorium.
The courtroom finally fell silent. Clemant's assistant hurriedly called for the trial. All stand up. Just then, a man in a black trench coat walked in.
He paused at the doorway, looked around, quickly settled on the location of Brooklyn, and walked over.
By the time the strange man walked up to the empty seat next to Brooklyn, Clement had already sat everyone down and began to read out the program papers.
"Hello, Judge Brooklyn Lee, I'm Frederick Samr, the head of the New York City Child Advocacy Organization." Frederick reached out to shake Brooklyn's hand, smiling.
He respects the rules and approaches Brooklyn when he speaks, but he doesn't let Brooklyn feel that his private sphere is being violated, and he keeps his voice down so that it can be heard by Brooklyn without disturbing the people around him.
Brooklyn nodded, let go of his hand, and introduced
"Brooklyn Lee. e.. Judge of Y. After introducing himself, Brooklyn asked directly
"Mr. Frederick, is there anything you want me to do?" Frederick was not surprised in the slightest, and whispered with just the right smile and a look of shame on his face
"I'm here to apologize."
"I'm sorry that I have caused you a lot of trouble due to the inappropriateness of the previous leaders. It has failed to shoulder the responsibilities of child rights protection organizations. ”
"We will clean up the entire child rights protection organization to ensure that nothing like this happens again." His tone was as sincere as a hot-blooded high school student inviting the prom queen.
It's a pity that the queen of the Brooklyn prom didn't die, and he didn't even go to the high school prom that year.
At that time, he was busy helping Ray and David calculate their savings and make a part-time job plan for the holidays to make sure that he would not be unable to pay the college tuition.
