Chapter 222: Martin's Morning
In the past two years, Lyon has won praise from all over the United States.
He is extremely harsh in dealing with any case, and his approach of investigating the truth and returning others' innocence has made him have an excellent reputation in black and white!
The Los Angeles No. 1 Police Department has naturally increased its prestige in the eyes of the people!
This police station has also become a place for countless people to report crimes.
There is Leon here, no matter how unfair the incident is, as long as it is Leon's turn to preside, he will also be innocent of the wronged.
But...
Even though Lyon's sleeves are clean, he is honest and honest.
But!
This is not the case with the police in other branches.
Two years ago, the police department's criminal investigation department captain Martin.
He is a white captain, thirty-five years old, usually flamboyant and flattering, which makes him have an excellent reputation in the police department, but he does not care about handling cases, in the eyes of the people, Captain Martin, is a scum!
Two years ago, when he was the head of the criminal investigation team, he dealt with a homage case.
The killer was a 54-year-old white truck timber driver, Bowman.
Because Bowman accidentally hit and killed the son of a local entrepreneur, due to insufficient evidence, in order not to offend the entrepreneur, so Captain Martin hastily settled the case and fabricated evidence privately, and finally Bowman was sentenced to death one month later.
In 1998, October 25 was the day when Lyon picked up Kelly and others to return to the police station.
Kelly and the others were frightened, so they chose to stay at the police station.
Kelly and others also spent a six-day safety period.
Under the protection of the police, Kelly and the police at the police station have developed a good interpersonal relationship.
Every police officer would take the time to listen to Kelly and others talk about the details of the death warning.
Six days later, at 9 a.m. on Halloween, Oct. 31, the police station had just opened.
Kelly, Owen, Evan, Andrew, and Alec were talking in the criminal investigation captain's office, although Kelly and the others were a little reluctant.
Since Martin likes supernatural things, he listens to them with relish.
Suddenly!
The bell rang loudly in the police station, and everyone looked out, and the smoke was filled with smoke outside the window.
"What happened?" Martin, a fat white officer, looked puzzled, and was just about to get up and rush out, when the door of the office was pushed open, and a young white man ran in, wearing a black windbreaker, leather pants, black sneakers, a black knitted hat, and a black M4 in his hand.
Without hesitation, the comer pulled the trigger at Martin, "Give me death, Martin!! ”
Just as he pulled the trigger, he was suddenly kicked by Leon behind him and hit the wall ten meters away, causing the gangster to faint and die.
Unexpectedly, when the M4 rifle left his right hand, the firearm misfired, and the bullets swept indiscriminately into the office.
Without any accident, Martin was shot through the forehead and killed on the spot.
As the bullets fell, Leon was stunned by the scene in the office, "How can this be?" ”
I saw that in the office, Owen, Evan, Andrew, and Alec were pierced by bullets in their foreheads, leaving only a pale Kelly who dodged the rifle that went off.
"Why are the five of you in Martin's office?"
Looking at the four people who died at the scene, including Kelly, who was unharmed, Leon was messed up in the wind.
He reminded not to come to Martin, Martin himself is a bad policeman, and he has a super hard network to get along well in the police department, but why do these five people go to Martin behind their backs?
At this time, the door of Martin's office was surrounded by black-clad policemen, all stunned by the scene inside the office.
Kelly curled up in the corner with a frightened face, and explained hesitantly: "It's Martin, he pulled us over, and he said why the five of us have a good relationship with others, but we don't have a good relationship with him, and we look down on him... In order to avoid unnecessary gossip, we chose to come over. ”
Leon didn't care about any of this, and rebuked angrily: "Don't you know that he has many enemies? ”
Frightened by Leon's loud voice, Kelly trembled, "Yes... I'm sorry! ”
"That's enough, you give me home, don't stay at the police station anymore!"
At this time, Director Gary ran over in a panic, and after discovering the tragic situation at the scene, he couldn't help frowning and said, "How could this happen... And, Leon, why do you blame Kelly, what does she know? Death wants to take the lives of students, should you let Death do its best, Kelly, come, come to Uncle's office, don't bother with Leon. ”
Kelly is then helped back to the Director's office by Director Gary.
"Damn, I said it was to protect you, but you didn't listen, I can't sympathize with the death of the four of you!"
Looking at the bodies of the four, Leon was angry and helpless, and then turned his gaze to the man in the black windbreaker who was foaming at the mouth, "Take him to the interrogation room, and I will interrogate him personally." ”
The assailants were then carried into a dark interrogation room.
About 10 minutes later, the gangster woke up naturally, and when he saw Leon, the other party's face showed a strange regretful smile.
Leon looked at the information report in his hand with a serious face, "Mark, 27 years old, graduated from California Polytechnic University, why are you laughing, why do you still laugh after doing this, do you think I will also have a good face for murderers?" ”
Unexpectedly, the other party said indifferently: "I don't regret it, I just regret it, if you were the one who presided over my father's case, my father might not have died tragically." ”
"Your dad?"
"Bowman."
Hearing this, Leon immediately realized something, and the expression on his face changed from serious to stunned, "The truck driver transporting timber accidentally hit and killed the entrepreneur's son, is there another hidden meaning in this matter?" ”
"Robin, an entrepreneur... Where did he come from? Mark smiled sarcastically and explained slowly, "You'll know everything after listening to me tell this story." ”
In the face of Leon, Mark did not hide the slightest, and everything from childhood to adulthood was slowly narrated.
October 31, 1981 was Mark's birthday.
He was born into a poor family, his father was a lumberjack and his mother was a nanny.
My parents saved enough money to buy a second-hand heavy truck, and my father Bowman traveled for the family, driving long distances to transport timber all year round, and occasionally transporting the most dangerous steel coils!
After Bowman, due to excessive efforts, the family's living standard gradually improved, and Mark gradually became a sensible student with excellent character and learning.
Six years ago, in early 1992, Mark's mother suffered from mid-stage breast cancer.
According to the doctor's information, as long as the operation fee of 100,000 meters is enough, it can be cured, after all, it is not an advanced stage.
From 1992 ~ 1996, I spent all my savings.
Later, Bowman worked hard during the day and took care of his wife at night, as well as his only son, Mark.
Mark has always seen these hardships, so he dropped out of Caltech to work without his father's knowledge.
Until 2 years ago, one day in 1996, Mark's father, unable to pay for expensive medical bills, asked the owner of a logistics company: Robin.
Robin was also a conscientious boss at the beginning, but later due to gambling, his personality changed drastically, resulting in frequent embezzlement of public funds and arrears of wages.
The reason is that Robin is involved in gambling, which leads to a full salary arrears of 2 years.
Despite the boss's arrears of wages, Bowman believed that Robin would pay it, so he chose to believe it for 2 years.
Later, because he couldn't afford to pay for the medical bills, he asked his boss Robin for a salary.
But the boss Robin was delayed again and again, and he couldn't bear the delay in paying his wages, so Bowman contacted a group of drivers to report the situation to the workers' union, hoping that the workers' union would be fair for Bowman and other drivers.
The Labor Guild, as the people's guild, naturally came forward, and finally the boss Robin was fined 50% of his net worth: 2 million meters, and almost went bankrupt.
So Bowman naturally got his salary of 80,000 meters for 2 years.
Bowman also used the money to pay for his medical bills.
It seems that everything is normal family, work, life stories, just asking for salary to pay for medical bills, and in the end it succeeded, which should have been a happy ending.
As Mark narrates, a turning point suddenly struck-
One night two years ago, Mark's father, Bowman, was driving a truck to deliver goods as usual.
On the way, he almost hit a person, so Bowman got out of the car to check, only to suddenly find that it was the former boss Robin, he was wearing a black suit, hidden on the side of the road, and there was a group of five big and three thick white thugs behind Robin, without any accident, Bowman was seriously injured, and after 3 months of recuperation, Bowman recovered.
But the matter is not over yet, Robin got a boy's body out of nowhere, and he bought off Martin, the captain of the criminal police brigade of the First Police Station, to convict Bowman of murder, as long as he is convicted, Bowman will be sentenced to death!
Due to the lack of evidence, Martin did not jump to conclusions.
It's just that Captain Martin couldn't resist the temptation of money, and then decided to falsify evidence under Robin's money offensive, and finally sentenced Bowman, a driver who had been seriously injured by Robin, the owner of the logistics company, to death after recovering from his injuries.
Later, the boss Robin and Captain Martin became "grasshopper friends" in the same boat.
The two often correspond, and Captain Martin uses his power to help Robin solve one dirty matter after another.
The two complement each other, their careers and lives become more and more satisfying, and in the end, only one person dies and the ending is achieved: Mark's father Bowman!
Listening to it all, Leon watched what was happening in the USB stick of the truck's dashcam that Mark had plugged into his laptop, which made Leon angry.
He was so angry that he smashed the silver interrogation metal table with one palm, and the handcuffed Mark watched this scene with a frightened expression, Captain Leon just now... Seems to have shown mercy to your own subordinates?
In the laptop screen, Mark's father Bowman was beaten by Robin and others on a road in the dead of night, and finally it was the police who passed by the Asian homeless man who reported that he could save his life.
If it hadn't been for the homeless man who found out in time, Mark's father, Bowman, would have died on the side of the road at night.
After reading it all, Leon took a deep breath, he calmed down, this time, he didn't have any resentment about the death design arranged by the Grim Reaper, it was reasonable and regretful at the same time, angry.
If Death is playing with Leon's emotions, then Leon will say, "Death, you've done it."
He looked at Mark sympathetically and comforted: "You are a good boy in the eyes of your parents!" ”
It was only at this moment that Leon suddenly realized why Mark would release a homemade smoke screen in the police station first, causing a fire alarm, just to attract unnecessary casualties, Mark's goal is extremely clear, he has no idea of harming the innocent, he just wants to kill the life of Captain Martin in an instant and avenge his father.
It's a pity that Leon didn't notice that Andrew, Owen, Evan and others were in Martin's office, and they directly kicked Mark from behind, and then due to the gap, the Grim Reaper had a chance to take advantage of it, and designed the M4 misfire accident, and reasonably killed Officer Andrew, Evan Tech House, Alec Fu II, and Irving Basketball Captain, and only Kelly survived, but Kelly was also injured and almost died.
I saw Mark ask with regret on his face: "It's a pity, my parents can't see it anymore, aren't they?" ”
To this, Leon was contemplative and silent.
Mark's mother also died after his father was sentenced to death.
The death of his mother became the last straw that crushed Mark, causing today's tragedy.
He wanted to comfort Mark with his dead parents watching all this in heaven, but it was too ethereal and hypocritical, and even Leon himself didn't believe it, how could he make others believe that the so-called heaven existed?
Seeing that Leon stopped talking, Mark smiled with relief and asked tentatively, "My fate is death, I know." I don't want to die at the trial ceremony, if I die, I want you to come and attack me, I know that you also have human lives in your hands, but the lives of those bad people can't tarnish your integrity and innocence, I won't blame you, and I will sign a waiver agreement, because I really don't want to die under the hammer of those filthy judges! ”
Seeing this scene, the audience in the beautiful country couldn't help but pity Mark.
The world makes people...
Just as the audience imagined this, Leon in the picture seemed to have made a decision against his heart, and promised with a serious face, "You can't die, you will even be found not guilty!" ”
As the words fell, Mark, who was ready to die, looked shocked, "What? I can't die? ”
Seeing the decision made by Lyon, the audience in the beautiful country was also stupid.
In such a mortal situation, can you still be acquitted?
