1225 is a very good offer
The harsh light hit the stainless steel tabletop.
The puffy woman in the photo looks very miserable and makes people can't bear to look at it directly.
Kaslow stared blankly at the photo, his eyelashes blinking slightly.
"Smack."
Hot teardrops, splashed on the photo.
In Ethan's surprised eyes, Kaslow closed his eyes tightly and pinched his palms with his fingers.
This performance.
It really baffled Ethan and Antonio.
Just as the two looked at each other, there was a knock on the door of the interrogation room, interrupting their thoughts.
"Who?"
Ethan was a little annoyed: "Get out of here." ”
Now is the time when the other party's emotions are most volatile, maybe a sentence or two can break through the other party's psychological defense, who is so indecisive to affect the interrogation at this juncture.
"Boss."
Russec reluctantly pushed open the door and pointed to the back: "Kaslow's lawyer is here." ”
"Jim Shelty."
As the words fell, the white lawyer with the briefcase walked in quickly, and he said to Kaslow, who had come back to his senses, in a deep voice: "From now on, you don't say a word." ”
"I'm sorry."
The lawyer in a suit looked at Ethan and Antonio and smiled, "I need to talk to my client, alone!" ”
"I don't think you care, do you?"
"Of course."
Annoyed, Ethan had no choice but to put the photo back in the case file.
The lawyer watched his movements with a smile and did not withdraw his gaze until the case file was closed.
It can't be helped, sometimes you have to respect the process.
Ethan reluctantly walked out of the interrogation room with Antonio, and even the people in the observation room next to him shook their heads and left, with the lawyer's words, it was useless for them to watch from the side.
Any evidence obtained at this time is invalid.
"Did you notice that?"
Back in the chase room, Antonio couldn't wait to ask, "What do you see in Kaslow's eyes?" ”
"Shocked."
Ethan pursed his lips: "And sadness." ”
"The perpetrator will not have these two emotions when he sees the victim." Erin put her hands on her waist and shook her head again and again: "Unless he is an Oscar winner, something is wrong here." ”
"That guy is still crying, can you believe it?"
"Who notified the lawyer?"
Thinking of something, Ethan looked at the group of people around him with a calm face: "Why didn't anyone tell me." ”
Several people looked at each other, and they all spread their hands to him.
Time flies.
Ten minutes later, Ethan and Antonio re-entered the interrogation room.
"Now, I speak on behalf of Mr. Kaslow."
The lawyer, named Sherty, straightened his clothes and said in a regretful tone: "Mr. Kaslow is repentant for what he has done, and he is not willing to waste any more energy from the Chicago Police Department." ”
"He was also reluctant to add more pain to Victoria Watson's family."
"Mr. Kaslow, you're ready to plead guilty."
While the lawyer spoke, Kaslow just stared blankly at the table, writing and drawing in the notebook, and anyone could tell that this guy's mind was not here at all.
"Of course, we also have some conditions."
Lawyer Scherty patted Kaslow on the shoulder and looked at Antonio.
After all, the other party is older, and he is still wearing an armpit holster, which makes him look more like a department head.
"I'm listening."
Antonio shrugged and waved his hand.
"The premise of all this is manslaughter." Lawyer Scherty made his request: "My client will also be placed in protective custody after he is imprisoned. ”
"Trust me."
He smiled and spread his hands out, "It's a good deal." ”
Of course it's a good deal.
If every offender is so cooperative, the Chicago Police Department can consider reducing its personnel.
Even if it's someone found through Frank. Ethan didn't expect things to go this way, it was completely unexpected, and his eyes fell on Kaslow's hand, who was still drawing something.
"If you don't mind."
Ethan politely said a word and pulled the transcript over.
Above is a personal sketch.
Lifelike.
He recognized at a glance that the person who painted it was none other than Victoria Watson.
Although Ethan did not understand art, he could feel that the woman painted by Kaslow carried a strong sadness.
"Shut up."
The lawyer was still chattering, and Ethan glanced at him coldly: "I'm going to listen to him now, you give me quiet, or I'll throw you out." ”
"Waterfa."
Shelly spread his hands to Antonio in shock: "Sheriff, you should hear what he's saying, right?" ”
"Hear me very clearly." Antonio scratched his ears and yawned:
"He's the sheriff, though."
The lawyer looked confused, and when he turned around, he met Ethan's cold gaze, so he had to shut his mouth in a daze.
"She secretly hid $30,000."
Kaslo still looked like he was in a state of distraction, and muttered, "I asked her to hand it over, but I didn't want to, so there was an accident." ”
"As a result, you all know."
Antonio swept his gaze to the ceiling.
His eyes flickered, and he sighed secretly.
"I'm sorry."
Sherty flicked the note on his hand and looked at Ethan: "If you accept my offer, you can find a yacht at the address on it, which is the same ship used to dispose of the body." ”
Looking at Kaslow, Ethan took the note.
"Get him in a makeshift detention camp."
Handing the note to Antonio, he walked out of the interrogation room with a calm face.
There are many doubts.
Based on the clues in hand, it is obvious that this matter is inseparable from Kaslor.
But the sixth sense told him that this guy was not a murderer.
"Confess your guilt!"
Rusek put down the office chair and laughed softly: "My back is considered to have been sinned in vain, so a person who desperately escaped would confess his guilt so easily?" ”
"It's time to close the case." Atwater turned the pen in his hand: "But the joy of finding the murderer is completely absent." ”
"Because he's not a murderer at all."
Erin sat on her desk and kept shaking her head: "I firmly believe that he is not a murderer, you must know that with the clues we have now, any public prosecution lawyer can help him get rid of his crimes." ”
"Why confess."
Public prosecution lawyers are generally assigned by the court to people who cannot afford to find a lawyer.
Although there are serious and responsible lawyers, 98% of the public prosecution lawyers will deal with the matter, and it is good not to add a few years to the client.
Erin: This is emphasizing the weakness of the evidence they have.
"Please."
She looked at Antonio, "You must also feel that something is wrong, say something." ”
"I've been exposed to similar cases before." The latter sneered, shook his head and said, "If I'm not mistaken, Kaslow is just the scapegoat who was pushed out, that's all." ”
