Chapter 562, Return to New York
Not only are Texans discriminated against by New Yorkers, but the "status" of Texans in the whole federation is not high.
But López's "hostility" should have nothing to do with that.
Although Lopez, a Texan, is in charge of Washington, Lopez is behind Brooklyn and Harvard, and Washingtonians can discriminate against Texans, but it is impossible to discriminate against Harvard.
- Work aside, it's possible to discriminate against López and Brooklyn personally.
Brooklyn thought for a moment, and thought of the events in New York that had just ended.
In the New York incident, he joined forces with the military and offended almost every federal department, and if it was because of this hostility to López, it is possible.
"Is it serious?" Brooklyn asked.
López shook his head, "It's not affecting work yet."
It's good if it doesn't affect the work.
Washington is going to fight into a "cockfight", thinking that this kind of hostility should only be out of instinct, really make them hostile, specifically targeted, I'm afraid they don't have the time and energy.
"Leave them alone, just get the proposal done." Brooklyn said.
López nodded.
He knew about the garbage dump plan in Brooklyn and knew what was going on. Moreover, in the past few months, as a "diplomat" at Harvard, López has seen a lot of all kinds of strange things, and the temper of the Texas red neck has been almost grinded, and he is not so easily excited. Before I changed it, I would have taken out a black walnut patch pistol and shot at someone else.
After eating, Brooklyn stayed alone with Lopez for a while, mainly to ask about Michael's condition.
Through Mark Mee, Brooklyn already knew that Michael had been ostracized in Washington, and he was a little worried that Michael would be bad because of it.
However, López has a high opinion of Michael.
According to López, Michael did have conflicts with others, and even took advantage of the situation to take revenge on a few "peers", but it was all within the acceptable range, which was to pave the way for the proposal work and remove several obstacles. He didn't cause trouble and cause trouble.
After chatting for a while, López got up to take his leave.
It was just a coincidence that he had something to do tomorrow morning, and he had to fly back to Washington in the afternoon—Michael had already gone to prepare for tomorrow morning.
Seeing Lopez away, Brooklyn looked at the time, and it was just after eight o'clock in the evening.
From the moment he came to Boston, he had been busy, and suddenly he was free, and suddenly he was a little uncomfortable.
Brooklyn froze in the room for a moment, turned on the computer and started to work on it.
E.. Nelly was watching from Y, and there was no mess, but he still had to deal with the work that should be handled by him, and it wasn't going to be done automatically just because he wasn't in New York.
Deal with it a little more now, and you'll be less busy when you get back.
At ten o'clock in the evening, after sorting a batch of eucalyptus pieces, Brooklyn turned on his phone and chatted with Anne while flipping through the file. Anne on the other side seems to be flipping through the dossier. The two chatted with each other while watching, and occasionally encountered problems, and they could discuss them with each other.
Before I knew it, more than two hours passed, and they each hung up the phone and went to bed.
The next day, October 1. Tuesday.
Brooklyn takes a flight from Boston back to New York.
I didn't have time to rest at all, and as soon as I came out of the airport, I went straight to E.. Y, put on a robe, went to the toilet, hugged the computer, and went straight to Courtroom No. 9.
In order to make New York the most stable base camp and the foundation of the three-person small political group, after the New York incident, Brooklyn did not covet efficiency, gobble up, and did not refuse to come, but carefully screened, trying to take advantage of this reshuffle opportunity to turn New York into an iron bucket in one fell swoop.
As a result, their work on each part of the project is progressing very slowly, and they continue to manufacture eucalyptus.
At least seventy percent of the indictments recently received by New York courts have resulted from their work.
If nothing else, just government officials
The staff has already made all parties busy and dizzy, and their feet do not touch the ground.
In the case of New York, the performance of government employees in New York was not satisfactory, especially in Brooklyn, where they were under tremendous pressure, and when cooperation with the military had not yet been established, nearly ninety percent of government employees were engaged in small operations.
Of course, it is impossible for Winston to replace all nine adults at once, and it is also a big project to replace such staff in important departments, those who jumped high, and those who were active enough at the beginning.
In particular, many of them are also Legislators.
At the same time, Frank is also leading the "clean-up" of the police station.
Frank's grip on the police is entrenched, and that's nothing to worry about, but New York is just too much of a mess.
Gangster, D Pin, J Female, Criminal ...... I don't know if I don't check, and I'm shocked when I check it. New York is a big city that hides too much dirt.
The NYPD's work of cleaning up gangsters began right after the New York incident, and even half of a district has not been cleaned up until now.
If it weren't for the fact that they ploughed through the upper echelons of New York before the New York incident officially began, reducing a lot of resistance, I am afraid that the current NYPD's "cleaning" would not have been able to complete even a community.
Due to the frequent movements of Winston and Frank, New York, which had just calmed down, was in turmoil again, but unlike before, this time they were determined to clean up the dirt and not "take it when they see it".
This determination is especially evident in those who are the target of the clean-up, which makes them feel more uneasy and make a lot of noise.
Strangely, because the governor's office and the NYPD held several press conferences to express their determination to clean up New York, Winston's approval rating dropped a lot.
New Yorkers shout every day that the governor is not good, the mayor is not good, and the director is the biggest gang leader, and they shout that the law and order environment in New York is not good, this is not good, that is not good, and the government is now determined to rectify it, but these people stand aside with the people who are being rectified.
Brooklyn comes from the airport to E. On the way to Y, I saw a group of seventy or eighty people, playing a sign in the mall with the slogan "Reilly Winston get out of New York", and it is said that yesterday there was a group of hundreds of people carrying the slogan "Give New York back to New Yorkers" to the governor's office to protest.
This kind of protest has been there since the beginning of the "big cleaning", at first it was just a complaint, and it slowly developed into a *** activity, so far the scale of *** is not large, and it is still under control.
At first, Frank received the news and investigated these people, and at that time they all thought that there was some hidden force behind the scenes, but the results of the investigation soon came out: these people were not organized, no one was prodded, and they were all spontaneous.
In other words, these protesters felt from the bottom of their hearts that Winston and Frank were not doing the right thing!
This made all three of them stupid.
The activities of the Federation are often hundreds or thousands of people, and the three of them have not faced it, but behind this kind of activities is often funded by someone, and the activities themselves are to achieve some kind of political goals.
[In view of the general environment,
It's okay to say that they can directly target the behind-the-scenes commanders, and it is not difficult for them to have the final say in New York.
I'm afraid of the current situation.
Is it possible for them to target the people who organize themselves ***?
Frank and Winston, who have nowhere to vent, can only point the finger at the gangsters and increase their efforts.
What is going to be heard in Brooklyn today is an indictment against a gang leader, the NYPD takes down the gang, arrests key members, the prosecutor sorts through the evidence, writes the indictment, submits it to the court, the court holds a trial, and sends them to prison......
Judges all over New York are doing this.
The major law firms in New York did not do well in the first place, but because of the government's clean-up, a large number of clients were "swept away" for them, and business immediately exploded.
Whether defending the defendant or filing a complaint for the plaintiff, the law firm does not worry about the client at all.
Since he came straight over as soon as he got off the plane, there was no rest at all, and Brooklyn's spirits were not very good.
He didn't have much energy to manage the courtroom, and in Webster's "Please all stand, E. Courtroom Y.9 is now in session, presided over by the Honourable Judge Brooklyn Lee", and the courtroom was in chaos, with people talking to each other and standing up in a sparse manner, talking what should be talking, and making phone calls.
Brooklyn waved his hand without raising his head, put the computer down, turned it on, and waited for the boot to finish and organize his notes.
It's still messy down there.
After waiting for about five minutes, the boot is completed, connect to the server, enter the intranet, and open the corresponding eucalyptus.
Began to inquire about the presence of the original defendant's client and lawyer.
"Gustav ......"
As soon as the defendant's name was raised, Brooklyn paused.
Gustav?
There was a judge who framed Anne, who seemed to be named Gustav.
Brooklyn began to wander unconsciously, and his mind ran somewhere.
There was a laugh from below, pulling Brooklyn back from his fugue state.
He looked up and glanced down.
"Quiet."
At the same time, the gavel was struck.
It didn't fall silent, but it was even more noisy.
There were whistles, conversations, lapping on the back of chairs, and even someone playing an incomprehensible rap outside.
Brooklyn frowned and glanced at the messy auditorium, finally focusing on the defendant who had been brought to the dock.
Gustav Svyatoslav.
A big gang boss in Brooklyn.
The reason why the NYPD is moving so slowly in Brooklyn is inseparable from Gustav Svyatoslav.
This is a strong guy, more than two meters tall, fierce, with long hair, tied into a ponytail behind his back, wearing a dark gray suit, muscles bulging, the suit is tight, and he is looking at Brooklyn with his head held high.
Seeing Brooklyn coming, Gustav bared his teeth, pulled his facial muscles, and said a few words silently at Brooklyn with a vicious look.
I can vaguely recognize by the shape of his mouth that it seems to be threatening him, but it is not a good word in short.
Brooklyn glanced at the auditorium again, and found that the auditorium was colorful, dressed in everything, and everything, but lacked the photographic equipment and machinery he had seen the longest.
There wasn't a single reporter in the auditorium!
Brooklyn glanced over the auditorium to the door.
The NYPD took this Gustav very seriously and sent a team to guard it.
The noise was louder.
Ignoring this, Brooklyn asked Gustav's lawyer "Illegal possession and trafficking of D-products, illegal possession of weapons, organization and participation in KB activities, related to at least seventeen homicides, as well as trespassing, theft, robbery, QJ...... Your client is now being indicted by the prosecutor on a total of 37 counts, and you don't mind if he adds one more count of contempt of court and threats to the judge, right?"
"According to my experience, your client starts at least 300 years ago, and there is a high probability that he will be sentenced to death, and one contempt of court and one threat to the judge is really nothing compared to his 37 counts."
It's not the first time Brooklyn has dealt with a gang leader, and although it's the first time for a big gang leader like Gustav, the truth is the same.
The gangsters want to scare the judge in this way and give the judge a kick.
This is a method used by gangsters, and it has indeed been very rewarding in past gang operations.
But now it's not gang-to-gang dealings or contacts, it's a courtroom.
Will Brooklyn be afraid of them?
He didn't even bother to pay attention.
"What do you think, Gustav?"
See Gustav's lawyer without speaking, one
His eyes drifted to Gustav, and Brooklyn understood that this lawyer was the so-called "gangster lawyer", so he turned to Gustav.
Gustav frowned and said in a deep voice, "I didn't do anything. What they're doing has nothing to do with me."
As he spoke, he raised his hand to show Brooklyn his silver bracelet.
As Brooklyn spoke, the noise in the auditorium became loud, and when Gustav spoke, the quiet pins in the auditorium could be heard.
It's also difficult for these gangsters to grasp the rhythm and timing so accurately.
"You're right."
Brooklyn nodded.
It was his turn to speak, and the audience was still in chaos.
Brooklyn ignored it and said directly
"I have fully listened to the opinions of the prosecutor and the defendant himself, and based on the client's performance, circumstances and actual circumstances, I will not grant bail."
Today is not the day of the official trial, otherwise it is now close to noon, and Brooklyn would not have tossed such a trip, so it would simply wait for lunch in the afternoon before the trial.
"Also." Brooklyn's voice was mixed with a chaotic noise, always maintaining its original volume, not hurried and inaudible.
"In view of the client's performance, the Court considered that the defendant should be held in solitary confinement during the trial and that no visitation other than a lawyer should be prohibited. Do not have contact with anyone other than a lawyer."
"In view of the seriousness of the situation, the court attaches great importance to it, and anyone who communicates with the parties by means of communication, including but not limited to letters, verbal conversations, television and radio programmes, books, body language and movements, may be held responsible. The court recommended that the police keep the person in solitary detention to ensure safety."
Brooklyn slammed the gavel twice, stood up, turned off the computer, and cleaned up as he went
"The prosecution and the defence are requested to prepare a list of evidence, which will be presented in the ...... Well, a year later, on October 1, 2020, at nine a.m., the jury selection began."
"Leave the court."
After cleaning up, Brooklyn stared at Gustav, who had not yet reacted, and said, "Mr. Gustav, I wish you a happy life."
