The atmosphere in the interrogation room remained scorching.

Rocchi resisted the urge to dismantle Goodman, suppressed his anger and said, "Don't worry, I understand what a lawyer is like." ”

He glanced at Chuck and Owens, and then said, "I mean to mediate between the two of you." Big things are small, small things are small, what do you think? ”

Goodman's lips twitched,

But Roki took the first step, supported the back of the other party's chair with his hand, lowered his voice, and said in a threatening voice: "People have been opened, and you don't suffer, right?" ”

Goodman was silent,

After a while, he replied, "Whether we suffer or not depends on how much we have to pay, right?" ”

As he spoke, his gaze fell on Chuck.

Roki couldn't help but have a headache,

One litigant was enough to kill, but now there are two,

It's like a belly-back enemy.

He thought for a moment and said in a low voice, "It's only two hundred dollars, what do you think?" ”

That's not a small amount at all.

Goodman frowned, looked at Edward beside him, and whispered, "What do you think?" Do you want to solve it with money? ”

Edward thought it was feasible,

He and George have already combined, and the profit of "Monopoly" will not be less than $10,000 a year, plus Lu Shi and Wardhouse are actively promoting it in Europe, they should also make a lot of money.

Two hundred dollars, just to spend money to eliminate the disaster.

Edward said, "Well, there's no need to grind with them. ”

Hearing this, Roki let out a sigh of relief, and walked over to Owens and Chuck again, whispering.

Seeing them chatting, Goodman suddenly smiled,

"Shall we make a bet?"

Edward said, "Bet on what? ”

Goodman said, "Bet on whether this can be done." I'll pay a dollar, and I won't make a bet. ”

Edward wondered, "Why?" Because of that Chuck? ”

The corners of Goodman's mouth hooked,

"In this kind of personal injury case, it is absolutely impossible for the victim to let the lawyer intervene during the investigation stage. But Owens' hiring of a lawyer shows that he did not intend to pursue responsibility in the first place. Finding a lawyer is all about bargaining. ”

Edward was puzzled,

"Isn't that a good thing?"

Goodman spread his hands and said, "Edward, are you a merchant or not?" ”

"Ah......h

Edward was speechless.

Compared to his older brother George, he is indeed less of a businessman and more of a pure gamer.

Goodman said: "Both sides have plans to make a deal, which means that there will be a long tug-of-war of bargaining. ”

Edward couldn't help but spread his hands,

"Well, I'll admit I'm not like a businessman. You're a businessman more like a lawyer than I am. ”

Goodman cut his hair, saying that the lawyer himself is a businessman, and even to put it simply, he should be considered self-employed.

He stretched,

"Look, we still have to grind~ But Owens has a disadvantage."

Edward asked, "What disadvantage?" ”

Goodman pointed to the top of his head,

"Look at the gauze on his head, he should still be dizzy now~ As long as we wait quietly, the other party will eventually run out of strength."

Sure enough, he was right,

The whispers of the three people on the opposite side gradually became louder,

Chuck said, "My client had a serious injury to the top of his head, and the medical bills alone cost tens of thousands of dollars, not to mention the scarring!" You've only given two hundred dollars, which is too little! ”

Rocky:???

Edward:???

Goodman:???

Tens of thousands of dollars for God's special meow!

Even Owens is a "??? He looked at Chuck bragging with a bewildered expression.

Roki stared at Chuck, running out of patience,

He turned to Owens and said, "Mr. Owens, what do you think?" ”

"Goo......

Owens swallowed and looked at Chuck,

Chuck nodded at him slightly,

The so-called "negotiation" does not make a big offer, so how can the other party bargain?

Owens then said, "The sheriff doesn't have to ask me, my attitude is consistent, I trust my lawyer, he means what I mean." ”

Roki was a little embarrassed, but this splint had to be endured.

He walked back,

"Pike ......"

As soon as he said the surname, Goodman next to him coughed twice: "cough, cough, cough......"

Roki couldn't help but have black lines on his head,

￣□￣｜｜

He said, "You have heard it, you have heard it, this matter ......."

Before he could finish speaking, there was a knock on the door outside the interrogation room.

Roki is sorry for both parties,

"I'm sorry, don't be impatient."

Then, he pushed the door and left, and saw a police officer standing outside the door, looking at a document from the customs in his hand.

Roki asked, "What's wrong?" ”

The officer whispered back, "Sheriff, there are three people coming outside, one is Pike's brother, George Pike." Another Chinese, a British, they came from the customs office, said that they were related to the incident. ”

Roki's eyes flashed,

"Chinese!?"

Although Owens' purpose in reporting the crime was money, the police officers investigated the case roughly.

Roki certainly knew what the so-called "injury case" was.

He said, "Was it introduced by customs?" ”

The police officer scratched his head,

"It can't be said to be an introduction. And they ...... Forehead...... And so they came. ”

Roki glanced at the police officer and pondered,

The identity of the Chinese and the British is definitely not ordinary!

He muttered for a moment,

"Let's bring them in, let them help make peace."

The police officer was surprised,

"Sheriff, isn't that right?"

In New York at the beginning of the 20th century, there was a Maoist rule?

Roki glared and said, "Being able to curb the crime rate is the biggest rule!" Don't me here, hurry up! ”

The officer saluted and walked away quickly.

After a while, Wardhouse, George, and Lu Shi came in.

Rockey hurried up to meet him, first shook hands with George, and said, "You are Mr. Edward Pike's family, right?" ”

George complained in his heart, didn't the two just meet?

But his face was still amiable,

"Yes, yes, I am."

Roki looked at Lu Shi and Wardhouse again, and asked with a smile, "What about these two?" ”

George hurriedly introduced: "This is Professor Lu, and this is Sir Wardhouse." They are visiting scholars and my business partners. ”

Hearing "Jazz", Roki frowned slightly,

But he thought of the situation where the jazz in England was everywhere, adjusted his mentality, and shook hands with the two.

Lu Shi smiled: "What about Edward? ”

Luo Ji couldn't help but be stunned, and found that the other party's Chinese English accent was so pure,

He pointed to the interrogation room behind him,

"...... in the Interior"

Before the words fell, Lu Shi interrupted: "Why are you in the interrogation room?" ”

For the second time today, Roki's head is full of black lines,

￣□￣｜｜

Why is this Chinese more difficult than those two lawyers?

He quickly explained: "The NYPD was so busy that all the separate rooms were occupied, so I had to use the interrogation room. They're being mediated inside~"

Wardhouse was just about to speak,

As a result, Lu Shi was faster than him and said, "Mediate what? ”

Roki said, "That's it...... Forehead...... It was Edward Pike who wounded the others. ”

Lu Shi said, "Really? ”

The phrase "Really? "It's light, so that Luo Ji almost can't help but scold his mother,

He cleared his throat,

"That's so, Mr. Pike himself has admitted."

Lu Shi did not waver, and said: "I know that he has already admitted it himself. But the responsibility for this is on the other side, right? Drinking and making trouble......"

Roki was speechless,

It was the first time he had seen such a rampant Chinese.

Isn't this special meow a flying dragon riding face?

Roki said, "This ...... Forehead...... Professor Lu: Right? The reason why things are troublesome is because Mr. Owens hired a lawyer. Of course, Mr. Pike also has the right to a lawyer, and he has done so. That's why I say 'mediation'. ”

Lu Shi chuckled and looked at Roki.

As a result, Roki, a NYPD sheriff, was actually looked at a little hairy.

Lu Shi said: "Lawyer? ”

Roki nodded,

"Yes. Professor Lu, you may not know our American ......"

Before the words fell, I heard a "crackling" sound in the interrogation room like a drop of something.

“Fxxk！”

Roki cursed and pushed the door in.

The other three followed.

I saw that Edward and Owens were still sitting there, and the two lawyers in suits and leather shoes greeted them instead.

Roki was stunned, and hurriedly went up to separate the two,

"You want to be put in the number, don't you?"

Goodman and Chuck gasped and sat down in their respective places.

Goodman said as he straightened his collar, "Are you crazy? Do you know how much you can buy for $800? ”

Rocky:???

That's going from tens of thousands of dollars to eight hundred dollars?

He was a little embarrassed and looked back,

"Do you want to give them a little more space? I think in a few minutes, this will be done. ”

Lu Shi didn't pick up the stubble,

He glanced at Edward and said, "What else to talk about?" Let's go. ”

In an instant, the room fell silent,

“……”

“……”

“……”

An eerie silence.

When Owens saw Lu, his face was deformed with anger, and he scolded: "Pig...... Not...... You've finally shown up! ”

The glass was hit so hard that he didn't dare to say "pig" anymore.

Lu Shi directly ignored it,

"Let's go."

He waved to Edward again and again, saying, "Your brother is still waiting for you~"

Edward immediately got up.

Roki was also stunned next to him,

He had never seen such a person take people away from the NYPD.

Chuck said, "Sheriff, what's going on? ”

Of course, Roki didn't know what the situation was, but he still stopped Lu Shi and said, "Professor Lu, our American way of doing things ...... way"

Before the words fell, there was another knock at the door outside,

"Sheriff!"

It was the voice of the police officer just now.

An evil fire suddenly rose in Roki's heart, and he scolded, "What's the matter!?" If you have something to say, if you have a fart, let it go! ”

As a result, there was silence outside.

The corners of Lu Shi's mouth hooked up and said, "Sheriff, even if there is a fart, you have to let people come in and put it, right?" ”

Roki gave him an angry look, then shouted outside the door, "Come in!" ”

Bang –

The door was slammed open.

The police officer rushed in front of Rockey in a few steps, handed over a piece of paper, and whispered, "White House cable." ”

Roki: "......"

A basin of water fell from the sky to extinguish the fire in his heart.

He carefully took the telegram, read it in a few seconds, and then looked up and looked at Lu Shi and Wardhouse with an extremely complicated gaze.

Time seemed to stand still.

"Whew~"

Roki let out a sigh of relief,

"So be it."

Owens, Chuck, Goodman are all in the dark,

What "so be it"?

Edward, however, stood up and said, "Thank you, sheriff, then I'll leave now." ”

Roki waved his hand,

"Hmm."

This attitude changed so obviously that Owens couldn't help but shudder,

In an instant, cold sweat wet the clothes,

The back is even more damp and sticks to the skin.

Lu Shi nodded to Roki, glanced at Owens who was like a defeated rooster, and then pulled Wardhouse and the Pike brothers away.

Goodman, of course, won't wait long,

He was about to follow, but as if he thought of something, he took two steps behind, and stood still as he passed Roki, and glanced in Owens' direction,

"Sheriff, drunken trouble, you see ......"

Roki raised an eyebrow,

"You've already earned it, so why bother?"

The corners of Goodman's mouth curled, and he said, "Aren't we lawyers doing this kind of dirty work?" Of course, I'm also a fox and a fake tiger. ”

Roki looked at Owens, who was still sitting there,

After a long time, he said, "How do you say it?" ”

Goodman joked: "Fines him tens of thousands of dollars~"

Roki glared at him,

"Ten dollars."

This amount is not much, but it is extremely insulting.

Goodman nodded in satisfaction, then walked over to Owens and said, "It's not a pig, it's only about IQ, you know?" ”

With that, he walked out of the police station quickly.

Outside the gate, several people had already called a carriage, and the coachman was helping to carry the luggage.

Lu Shi chats with the Pike brothers,

He counted Edward: "ED, why are you so impulsive?" ”

Edward scratched his head embarrassedly,

"Professor Lu, you are the creator of Monopoly and a partner of our Parker Brothers, and if you are in trouble, of course we will help. Besides, the incident itself was something Owens did wrong. ”

Lu Shi sighed,

Before I could say anything more, Goodman had already come up to him,

Lu ...... Professor Lu! ”

He handed over his business card and introduced himself: "My name is Saul Goodman, and I am a small lawyer in New York, and I occasionally take on cases of one kind or another. I have already told the sheriff that he promised to fine Owens. ”

Goodman had a smile on his face, and he felt like a dog's leg.

Lu Shi: "......"

He instinctively repelled American lawyers.

Goodman said, "Professor Lu, you don't know the United States, so there are some things that need our lawyers to do it for you." ”

Lu Shi groaned,

What the other party said cannot be miscalculated.

Goodman saw that he didn't speak, so he continued to promote himself: "Professor Lu, for example, if you want to cooperate with Parker Brothers and need legal help, I can!" And, you know, each state in the United States has some different rules, you are a Chinese...... I didn't mean anything else, I just wanted to say ......."

Lu Shi raised his hand,

"Alright, I can hire you!"

He looked at the carriage, where the driver had already loaded his luggage, and said, "We are leaving." Would Mr. Goodman want to hitchhike? ”

Goodman was not polite, and got into the carriage with his bag.

Lu Shi said to the Pike brothers, "Squeeze it." ”

The other four also got into the carriage.

When the wheels of the carriage made a "gurgling" sound, Goodman asked curiously, "Professor Lu, where did that telegram come from?" ”

Lu Shi replied: "White House." ”

Goodman:???

George:???

Edward:???

All three were stunned.

Goodman was glad that he had bet on the right treasure, and asked, "So, can you tell me who it is?" ”

Lu Shi said: "Vice President." ”

One sentence silenced the carriage again.

After a while, Edward said, "Fortunately, it is the vice president, and if it were the president, I would have been even more surprised." ”
