The monk of the way of beauty

Chapter 315

With a "bang", the door of the interrogation room was suddenly pushed open, and a middle-aged man dressed like a lawyer walked in, shouted loudly, and said, "Everyone, if you don't mind, I hope you don't." Continue to cross-examine my client."

"Your client?" Jordan looked surprised. He knew that the lawyer said the client was himself, but he didn't remember that he had hired this lawyer, and he didn't even know him. So whose is he? people?

"Mr. Norris, I'm Bill Morton." After Morton introduced himself, he said to Norris in a deep voice: "From now on, please don't say anything to anyone without my presence. I have been hired for your lawyer."

"Hmm!" Although Norris was a little surprised, he still nodded slightly. The appearance of the lawyer finally cleared his drowsy mind. Under the conclusive evidence and strong pressure from the police, he almost confessed completely. Even the last bit of bargaining capital was thrown away.

Seeing the appearance of the lawyer, Jordan Norris finally became wise again. He no longer intends to speak. As long as the name of the person is still in his hands, he is sure to reach a plea agreement with the prosecution, and he can even be acquitted. .

Jordan Norris's thoughts were all written on his face, and no one could hide it, Ling Xiao shook his head slightly, this is already a dead person.

"Then who hired you?" Beckett couldn't help asking full of resentment.

"We're done here." Bill Morton wasn't even interested in answering Beckett's question.

The interrogation ends here, and without Jordan Norris' confession, this case can only end here. As for the rest, the Procuratorate will soon send someone to take over. As for what will happen next, it is none of their business. It's over.

"It seems our boss can take a breather!" Back at Beckett's apartment, it was getting late, and the French meal was naturally gone. The two bought some pizza and beer casually, and counted it as dinner.

"But Laura Cambridge died unexplainably," Beckett said with unwillingness written on his face, and took a bite of the pizza in his hand.

Ling Xiao knew that Laura's murderer was not caught was only one of the reasons for her displeasure. The real problem was that she didn't have time to conduct a more in-depth investigation of Chief James. If she was responsible, she would be able to find more evidence back then. .

"At the very least, Norris will be prosecuted for assisting murder, which is already very good. Take your time with the rest, there is always a chance." After eating the last piece of pizza, Ling Xiao raised the wine bottle in his hand and Beckett touched it lightly.

Beckett gave Ling Xiao a nod, raised the wine bottle and greeted him, and soon, the two of them dropped the wine glasses in their hands.

The next morning, when Beckett woke up, Ling Xiao beside her had long since disappeared. She didn't even know how the other party left last night, and she felt inexplicably melancholy for a while.

At this moment, the door of the room was suddenly opened, Beckett raised his head, and it was Ling Xiao who came in, holding the hamburger and coffee he had bought in his hand, and a newspaper under his arm, suddenly, Beckett A smile broke across Tate's face.

"Catherine, do you know what happened?" Ling Xiao yelled before putting down what he was holding.

"What's the matter, Ling?" Beckett lifted the thin quilt on his body and sat up directly, his smooth and charming upper body bloomed in front of Ling Xiao's eyes, Ling Xiao's somewhat unusual expression showed that something very extraordinary happened.

"Major James has announced that he has given up the election!" Ling Xiao stuffed the newspaper in Beckett's hand, sat opposite her, and while admiring the beautiful scenery in front of him, he said: "All the complaints about Mayor James have been closed Withdrawn, but he announced his abandonment of the election at this time, which means that his political life will end as the mayor of Los Angeles. Four years later, even if he chooses to run again, he is too old to have any chance .”

"There's a problem here!" Beckett didn't have any happy look on his face, but frowned tightly: "James didn't need to do this at all. It's obvious that someone else's hand is holding his handle." , hold the handle that made him have to give up running for president."

"That's right." Ling Xiao laughed. The reason why he came back in such a hurry was because he guessed the reason. He shook his head slightly and said, "Although we didn't completely bring James down this time, we did bring him up." The way to go has been cut off directly, Catherine, this is also a big victory!"

"Yeah!" Beckett squinted his eyes and said in a low voice: "As long as we follow the line of Jordan Norris and Bill Morton, whoever holds the handle that James has to withdraw from the presidential election has no We can find out, and this time we don't need hard evidence."

"You can check, but Catherine, you can't expose yourself, and you can't expose what you found during the presidential campaign." Ling Xiao held her hand and said in a deep voice: "Once this happens, the enemy you face will James is not alone, and the person who forced him to withdraw from the presidential race, the result may well be worth the candle."

"I know." Beckett took a deep breath, at this time she was far more awake than ever.

Robert Wellington James is already a little too old, and he will work as the mayor of Los Angeles for at most two years, and the power under him who has announced his withdrawal from the election will gradually decline, and many people who used to be with him are slowly Everyone will be alienated, and as he is about to step down, many things will slowly be exposed. When the year when the mayor is re-elected, his power will decline to the limit, and at that time, it will be Beckett's time to take revenge.

She won't wait until he leaves office, that would be too cheap for him, and she will arrest him when he thinks he is safest.

Beckett's affairs came to an end for the time being, Ling Xiao returned to his usual life, and he made rapid progress as he concentrated on his cultivation.

With the blessing of the bloodline abilities of Thor and Storm Girl, Ling Xiao has made rapid progress in comprehending the thunder method. In less than half a year, the Zhenlei mental method has been cultivated to Dzogchen, and this night, Ling Xiao is just the beginning Break through the innate middle realm.

In half a year, Ling Xiao had completely grasped his own cultivation base, and his foundation was very solid. The two strands of innate qi in his body, one blue and one purple, presented a spiral shape, constantly entangled and intertwined, from the innate true seed to the hundred on the top of his head. Yes, and then down to the perineum, the cycle is endless, back and forth.

Suddenly, there was a thunder in the void, and the next moment, the true energy in Ling Xiao's body seemed to collide with an invisible barrier, and in an instant it began to move at a speed ten times faster than before.The two strands of true qi, one green and one purple, which were originally entangled, gradually merged into one under the urging of the wind and thunder, forming a jade-white true energy, which quickly circulated through the meridians in the body, and the vitality of the outside world couldn't help it. The forbidden ones were absorbed.

Ling Xiao slowly opened his eyes. There was no joy in his eyes for the breakthrough of his cultivation base, but his brows were tightly frowned. It seems that it is necessary to find a place to practice again. Although it is not imminent, the one under his feet The aura provided by Dao Lingquan has gradually been unable to keep up with the growth of his cultivation base.

In fact, he has explored the entire west coast of California, but the only thing he can really use is the spiritual spring under his feet.

In fact, there are several good spiritual energy gathering places in San Francisco, but they have been occupied by people, and the spiritual places have gradually been destroyed.It will take Ling Xiao a lot of time to find another more suitable place, even with his current cultivation level, don't even think about it in less than a year and a half.

Although he successfully broke through to the innate middle stage this time, it was not without problems. Although he suppressed the growth of his cultivation base, the strength of his physical body still could not keep up with the growth of his cultivation base. This time he was able to break through smoothly. They are all borrowing the blood power from Thor.

Perhaps because of using Thor's Hammer for a long time, Thor's physical fitness is much stronger than that of ordinary Asgardians, and there is even a trace of lightning power in his blood, which makes Ling Xiao practice There is an additional bonus when using Thunderbolt.

Even if he started to practice Fenglei Zhengfa now, the power of Thor's blood was still very useful, and he was even subtly transforming his physical body.
