Anne sat in the car in a daze, she didn't know where to go. Unconsciously looking at the file bag next to her, she opened the file bag and pulled it out in the same way.

Lipstick, picture frames, a few pens, a bear doll, a pot of cactus, a wooden box the size of a palm.

Anne wanted to throw the wooden box away, but the moment she lowered the window, she stopped again. She closed the windows again, opened the wooden box, and fiddled with the beans with her fingers, recalling the day in Regulus's office.

Their conversation seemed to be hard to remember, but she still remembered the coffee they drank. There is a burnt aroma in the bitterness, and if you taste it carefully, you can vaguely taste a surging sweetness.

What a strange and unforgettable taste. Anne came back to her senses and realized that she had already stuffed the coffee beans into her mouth.

She subconsciously licked the coffee beans, and the sweet taste made her face change. She hurriedly spit out the coffee beans, grabbed the bottle and rinsed her mouth constantly, but her spirit became more and more excited.

Bang - Anne closed the wooden box, thought for a moment, and pulled out the phone.

"Hello? Help me test a sample. ”

"Don't ask so much...... Well, it's coffee beans. ”

"Hey! I was only temporarily suspended for investigation, not dismissed. Help. ”

"Okay, I'll send it to you."

"Remember to keep it confidential and don't mention it to anyone. It's best not to even keep a record. ”……………… On Sunday, a reporter ran into Judge Regulus at a cigar club and interviewed him briefly.

When asked

"Prosecutor Anne Aldington threatens to prosecute you, what do you think about this?" Regulus smiled kindly.

"I understand Prosecutor Anne's feelings." He said

"We always have expectations for everything in life, but not everything will turn out as we hope."

"Prosecutor Anne had approached me before that because of the Angus, and the indictment they had submitted was simply not accepted by the court, and I heard that many people had been busy for a long time for this case, so I was worried that Prosecutor Anne would be hit and disappointed in the justice system."

"For this reason, I specially called her to the office and patiently enlightened her." At this, Regulus frowned, as if he had thought of something, and showed a look of sudden realization, but he kept his mouth shut and said no more.

Under repeated questioning by reporters, Regulus said reluctantly

"Well, I'm just going to say to you for the rest of the day, please don't cut it into the interview." As he spoke, he glanced at the camera as if warning.

The reporter was so excited that he was trembling all over, he didn't expect to dig up a big piece of material here!

"I noticed that Prosecutor Anne's mental state was not quite right." Regulus said, still looking at the camera

"Is this thing turned off now?" The reporter nodded repeatedly

"Don't worry, Mr. Regulus, we won't say anything without your permission." Regulus then continued reassuringly

"That's the kind of ...... Very strange euphoria. I've heard that she had been staying up for several nights before that. ”

"I know that young people nowadays are stressed out and often have to take some ...... in order to work ......" Regulus looked embarrassed, and finally shook his head and sighed

"Hopefully my guess is wrong."

"I don't have a special opinion of Prosecutor Anne, in fact I understand her, and it's disappointing that she did so much for the case and didn't get the results she wanted."

"It's okay, I'm sure Prosecutor Anne will be relieved when she calms down." This interview was put on the evening news and aired exclusively by ABC.

The news host conducted a comprehensive analysis from various aspects such as expression, context, and voice, and finally came to the conclusion -

"I think what Judge Regulus is trying to say is that Prosecutor Anne Aldington is smoking big m's." The host said firmly in front of the camera

This also explains why Anne Aldington suddenly lost control of her emotions. We are fairly familiar with Anne Aldington, and according to our previous knowledge, Anne Aldington is a mature and calm prosecutor. ”

"Prosecutor Anne, you're in trouble. It's not just abuse of power. Anecdotally, after the news program aired, Judge Regulus called and scolded the reporter who was interviewing him.

The rhetoric was so heated that the entire production department heard it at the time. Judge Regulus angrily questioned reporters

"Do you want to ruin Prosecutor Anne Aldington!"

"She's still young, and she's just made a mistake in the moment! Do you want to destroy her! ”

"It's because of media like you that so many outstanding young talents in the Federation have been ruined!"

"Can't you be more tolerant of young people?" ABC's producers had to call Regulus personally and apologize again and again before he could barely get an understanding.

The news was quickly spread. While people lamented Judge Regulus's magnanimity, Anne's attitude was inevitably drawn into discussion and contrast.

Compared to the image of a tolerant elder played by Regulus, Annickle is much worse. Monday, February 14th.

e.. y。 With the promotion of digital work, problems are beginning to emerge. Many of the court's staff are middle-aged and elderly, older and more experienced, but slow to accept new things.

It's not that they can't see the benefits of the new system that Brooklyn is imposing, but they really can't learn it. This was raised at the meeting and received a positive response.

After thinking about it, Brooklyn decided to reorganize the configuration of the courts. With the judges' approval, Brooklyn paired them with each other to ensure that each courtroom had at least one young man who was proficient in digital work.

With that out of the way, Brooklyn brought up another question.

"Prosecutor Anne Aldington prepares to indict Judge Regulus, a matter that went into a big swing over the weekend." Brooklyn looked around and said earnestly

"I'm not going to ask you to support one side or the other, and I'm not going to ask you to never get involved."

"But that's not what a good judge should do. We should be focusing on the courts, and we are already starting to have a backlog of papers less than two months into this year. ”

"If you have the energy to get involved in the mess outside, you might as well consider dealing with a few more cases."

"If you have to be involved, please speak on your own behalf, and remember that no one may represent anyone on any occasion on this matter. y to express any opinion. ”

"Including myself."

"Finally, this year we need to recruit a group of interns, the information will come one after another, if you need it, you can go to the intranet database to access, which one is important to operate on the intranet, and it doesn't matter if you don't like it."

"This year we expect to have 10 interns."

"Ok, I wish you all a smooth new week." Brooklyn clapped his hands one last and declared the meeting over.

With his ascension to the position of Chief Justice, the Governor of E. Reforms, with meetings held every Monday morning, have gradually become the norm.

If you have any difficulties, you can raise them at the meeting, or if you have any views on the new policy, you can also put them forward in public and solve them together.

Such meetings usually do not take up much time and tend to end within half an hour to fifty minutes.

It will not affect the judges' hearings. Leaving the conference room, Brooklyn returned to the inner courtyard to change his clothes and prepare to go to the courtroom, but was stopped by Bob.

"A man claiming to be the chairman of the Army's Joint Chiefs of Staff is looking for you, Brooklyn." Bob flipped through the sticky notes and read

"His name seems to be Mark Milley Eddington?"

"Aldington." Brooklyn put down the file and corrected

"He was Anne Aldington's father. Let him in. ”

"Nelly, how's the plan going?" Waiting, Brooklyn asked casually. Nelly pulled out a plan from her desk and handed it to Brooklyn.

Brooklyn was just about to flip through it when the familiar General Mark walked in. He smiled and looked around, his gaze pausing on Ray, and came to Brooklyn.

"Hello, Judge Brooklyn." Brooklyn reached out and shook his hand, gesturing to the couch

"What's the matter?" Mark Milai also does not ink, and directly explains the intention.

"Two things."

"First things first, e.. A public event is held every year, with a different theme each year. On behalf of the military, I hope that e.. This year, we can set the theme of caring for veterans. ”

"Hope e.. Y can provide some legal help to the warriors who leave the battlefield. ”

"As far as I know, veterans are not having a good life. They adapted to the battlefield, and the army taught them how to survive the war, but failed to teach them how to live in a normal society. ”

"Second thing."

"We hope to work with E.. Cooperate to a limited extent to provide some jobs for veterans. ”

"We've decided on the theme of the public event, sorry, General, you're late." Brooklyn picked up the plan and shook it, indicating that he wasn't talking nonsense

"Maybe next time we can set the theme as the protection of the rights and interests of veterans."

"Of course, this requires your cooperation, as far as I know, the Federation has been doing a good job in protecting the rights and interests of soldiers, but when it comes to specific operations, there are always problems in some links." Brooklyn said meaningfully.

"Protecting the legitimate rights and interests of a group has never been achieved by advocacy from all walks of life, which requires the cooperation of relevant departments. At the very least, the departments involved in it should do their part first. ”

"As for providing jobs for veterans, we are also willing to do so, in fact the current e.. There are 17 veterans in Y, but we are short of funds and have no plans to expand our staff for the time being. "If you don't pull out a hair, you want to come to the white wolf with empty gloves.

Brooklyn thought Mark Mee's idea was a little too beautiful.

"Don't be in a hurry to say no, Brooklyn." Mark Meaille was not surprised by Brooklyn's reaction, he said

"At least let me finish first." Brooklyn reached out and made one

The gesture of "you please".

"You know, Brooklyn, military courts have always been a relatively independent judicial system, and many military crimes have had to be dealt with in order to ensure that military secrets are not leaked. They will not be sent to you, but will be brought back to the army and court-martialed. ”

"But this absolute independence inevitably breeds problems."

"Corruption, bribery, big things and small things, etc."

"This not only disrupts social and public order, but also has a negative impact on the military. Therefore, I think this absolute independence should change. ”

"Maybe we should discuss which crimes, even for the military, should be sent to you, rather than all of them to court-martial. What do you think? Brooklyn and Mark Meaille looked at each other.

He understood that Mark Mie's removal from the court-martials meant that it was not something he could decide.

This is a policy that has been discussed and is ready to be implemented.

"Judge Brooklyn, I personally like you, you are a young and promising talent. Perhaps you can give us some better, more constructive suggestions. Mark Mie said

"This policy is currently in the process of being negotiated. But I don't know much about the justice system, maybe you can help me? ”

"Why not." Brooklyn smiled and got up. Mark Millaine laughed and held out his hand to shake Brooklyn.

"I told you, you would." He leaned closer to Brooklyn and whispered in his ear.

"It's a pleasure to work with." Brooklyn kept smiling.

"By the way, my daughter, Anne, I have heard that you are good friends, and I can ask Anne to bring you to the house when I have time." Mark Milai got up and took his leave.

The smile on Brooklyn's face vanished, and he sat expressionlessly in his chair, silent. According to Mark Milai, changing the situation in which crimes committed by military personnel can only be tried by military courts is still in the discussion stage and is only a proposal.

This also explains why Brooklyn has not received word of it. Probably even most people inside the justice system don't know about it.

Mark Milley made a deal on the proposal, and Brooklyn Lee's name could appear on the proposal as long as Brooklyn agreed to help Mark Millais.

As for what to help him...... In addition to the two serious things that Mark Millet mentioned at the beginning, Anne Aldington mentioned at the end of his life is the main point.

But with proposals up front, Brooklyn won't be as conspicuous as Anne Aldington in helping Anne Aldington be.

The matter can also be narrowed back from a prosecutor challenging the judge's authority to a personal conflict between Anne Aldington and Regulus.

That's nothing to Brooklyn. All he needed to do was get Regulus and Anne Aldington out and provide a channel for reconciliation.

He himself will have nothing to lose. Not only will there be no loss, but there will be a lot of gain. Mark Millay's deal was full of sincerity.

The two activities were proposed before the proposal was leaked, and once the proposal was adopted, e. Y is one step ahead of the crowd and will be noticed immediately.

Not to mention the right to advise. This is an opportunity for Brooklyn to further solidify and enhance its reputation. All in all, this deal is a good deal for Brooklyn.

But Brooklyn was still unhappy. This feeling of knowing that it's good for you, but it's like being qjked by someone, what the hell is going on!
