Blackstone Code Chapter 34: Attitude determines the future, don’t make any promises
The two policemen stood at the door of the room and looked at each other. The policeman who was recording some information put away his notebook and pen, "There is good news, we have caught the guy who took your things, but you Also need to identify, understand what I mean?"
He didn't say keywords like "steal" and "burglary", but used take, he was weakening Lynch's problem with the nature of the case, and at the same time putting pressure on the other party.
Not everyone has the courage to go to the scene to identify the criminal. Last year, some people did statistics. About 6.94% of the witnesses were unwilling to identify the criminal, and more than 77.5% were unwilling to identify the criminal. Three witnesses were reluctant to testify.
This has explained a lot of problems. It can be seen as the bad result of the poor public security of the Baylor Federation, and it can also be seen as the reason why the criminal forces are still arrogant.
In short, having people testify against criminals is undoubtedly a way to increase the pressure of witnesses, but they found the wrong person, and Lynch immediately changed his clothes, "What are you waiting for?"
The two police officers were somewhat unclear about what happened to Lynch, but they did hope that the matter would be resolved "satisfactorily".
On the way to the police station, the officer sitting in the co-pilot talked about the "criminal" they had caught.
"It was a young man of sixteen or seventeen years old who was in school. He did not admit that he had done these things, and we did not have enough evidence to completely crucify him..."
This sentence is right or wrong. It's completely treating Lynch as a layman. In the police station, as long as they think someone is a criminal and if necessary, they can crucify a criminal with a little bit of evidence. , it is clear that this time their intention is not the case.
The policeman turned his head and glanced at Lynch, "I think the little guy should be given a chance. This case with insufficient evidence may ruin his future life."
He said for a while, "You haven't been hurt, and the loss is limited. If he is willing to compensate you, I think you can talk about it."
After saying these words, the police turned around and said everything he should have said. As for the outcome, it is not up to him, a front-line police officer, to decide.
For the two police officers in the car, it doesn't really matter how Lynch chooses them. The sky won't hit them anyway. They just try their best to fulfill the orders of their superiors.
They didn't say anything to Lynch for the rest of the drive, until the car stopped at the police station.
"Have you made up your mind, young man?", a policeman led him to the office building of the police station and pushed open the lobby door for him.
Lynch nodded calmly, "Maybe I should talk to him."
"Smart choice!" The police patted him on the shoulder and led him to the interrogation room on the side, with a relaxed smile on his face, and whispered, "You can be as big as a lion. He's a rich bastard, at least richer than us, you know what I mean?"
Lynch nodded, and the policeman pursed his lips in satisfaction. He stood outside the interrogation room door, opened the door, and whispered again, "We turned off the recording system, remember to knock on the door when you come out. , I'll be waiting for you outside the door!"
There are too few good people like this. Lynch nodded vigorously and walked into the room.
In fact, the entire police department's process has been completely messed up at this point. The victim and the perpetrator, or the plaintiff and the defendant, cannot meet before going to court, but some things are like this.
Rules are rules, and reality is reality.
There was only one table and four chairs in the interrogation room, all of which were fixed to the ground. Little Michael sat down on one side of the table with his head down.
Lynch's arrival made him look up at Lynch. He couldn't understand why the ring in his father's drawer was actually a swag, which made him feel relieved and worried at the same time. up.
This ring is not evidence of Michael's betrayal of the family, but there is a problem with its origin, which means that his father may be involved in the crime, and he has a struggle and pain in his heart... I don't know how to do it, and at the same time I feel that Michael is not easy.
The police have also talked to him, and they will call the police. If he can persuade the police to withdraw the case, then he can leave after paying the bail.
This incident will not become a stain on his file. After the case is withdrawn, he will not commit another crime within a certain period of time. All the information will be completely put into another data bag, which will never be seen by ordinary people.
When he saw Lynch, little Michael opened his mouth and closed it again. He didn't know how to open it.
Children of this age tend to have a very clear view of right and wrong. He regards Lynch as a "victim". He suddenly finds himself dirty because he is trying to be like someone he doesn't like. Ruin justice and fairness.
The feeling of shame made him unable to speak, he could only keep his head down and remained silent, he was waiting for Lynch to make conditions.
No matter what conditions Lynch puts forward, as long as it is not excessive, he will agree to it. This is not his fault, but he really wants to atone for his father.
He doesn't know why Michael would break into the house and take Lynch's ring, but it happened, and it's pointless to worry about it. What he needs to do is to give Lynch enough compensation and cover his father. .
It's just...sometimes young people are reluctant to admit that they are young, and will eventually be slapped in the face by reality.
After Lynch sat down, he paused for a while, "I didn't come to talk to you about how much you can spend to solve this..." Little Michael raised his head in surprise, while Lynch continued to say , "Don't think that you have a few stinky money, you can influence the justice of justice, even if the lawsuit is brought to the state court, I will not compromise!"
Lynch's statement made little Michael realize that things didn't develop as he thought, so to call a **** is hypocritical, he was also caught in a sense of self-humiliation of some kind of moral depravity just a second ago. When I was shocked by Lynch's unwilling to compromise statement, my calf began to tremble!
Before he could open his mouth, Lynch continued, "Everyone should be held accountable for their actions, whether you are a student or someone else, even if you are a government official, you must accept a just trial. ."
"The court, the judge, and the public will give you a fair trial. No matter how high you stand, the moment the judge's gavel falls, you will be pulled down. The higher you stand, the more you will fall. The more it hurts.”
Little Michael's face began to sweat. In fact, he did not completely put himself into the role of the criminal suspect, but put his father, Michael, into it.
This gave him a struggle, tangle, and pain that he couldn't describe. He could already imagine what happened when Michael appeared in the court dock and was found guilty. The family was over in an instant.
"Is there no... room for negotiation?" There was something bitter in his voice, and there was also a hint of hope.
Lynch shook his head, "If I break into your home and take your most important things, and then smash you in the face with a wad of bills~IndoMTL.com~ I'll tell you this is the case. , will you be content?"
Little Michael stopped talking, his mood was very low, the corner of Lynch's mouth tickled slightly, and then he stood up.
"I'm here, just to tell you my attitude, there is no compromise, I don't want your stinky money, and you don't look down on others!" He stood up and knocked on the door. Inexplicable eyes left.
Soon the police also came in. He pinched his waist and looked at the depressed little Michael, still confused and asked, "Have you reached an agreement?"
Little Michael sighed heavily. He knew very well that his current life, family, and social status all came from Michael's work.
Once Michael is prosecuted and sentenced, even if he doesn't go to jail, his job is over.
The IRS wouldn't want a tainted person in management, and once Michael lost his job, the family would have to move out of middle-class neighborhoods and live in downtown.
The future will be shrouded in a dark haze. Only by keeping Michael's job will the family not have too many problems.
Even little Michael thinks that Michael has a way to fish him out and give him a new identity to start over somewhere else.
Rather than implicate Michael, little Michael made a decision. He took a deep breath and raised his head to look at the police, "I plead guilty, I plead guilty to burglary..."
At this time, Lynch, who was standing outside the police station, glanced back at the solemn police station with a slight smile on his face.
He would entrust someone to take good care of little Michael in prison, just as Michael threatened him.
Little Michael would be everyone's favorite and has lots of boyfriends!
