Ning Yuan, Casey, and Dino stood at the side dumbfounded and watched the entire negotiation process of the prosecution and defense deal.

Across an interrogation table, Shen Lie and Sidon exchanged words and words to start a war.

Seaton first stated the conditions: "My client confessed the process, method, and buyer of his sale of Louis in exchange for immunity from prosecution."

"Don't even think about it," Shen Lie said bluntly, "Your client confesses, I'm prosecuting one count of child abduction and one count of incest. If I don't serve my sentence at the same time, I won't be released on bail."

Sidon thought it was ridiculous: "It's ridiculous, so what is the purpose of my client's cooperation?"

"No cooperation? Yes, that is one crime of second-degree homicide, one crime of first-degree rape, one crime of first-degree intentional injury, one crime of child abduction and one crime of incest. They cannot be executed concurrently and are not allowed to be released on bail. "Shen Lie had a half-smile, "Pedophiles are at the bottom of the list in prisons, so your client will spend the rest of his life in prison giving vent to others, and those people are not as good-tempered as these two police officers." "

Jack shivered and looked at Sidon anxiously. The latter held him steady, thought for a while, and said, "One count of child abduction and one count of incest. You can be released on bail if you serve the sentence at the same time. If you disagree, we'll still go to court. Good luck."

Shen Lie turned the pen in his hand, noncommittal: "If you don't serve the sentence at the same time, you can be released on bail. Your client will be released after more than 20 years. Although he was almost [-] at that time, at least he can still live in the free world forever."

Sidon gritted his teeth: "Deal."

"Well," Shen Lie motioned to Dino and Casey who were on the side to continue the interrogation, "Don't forget that the premise of the establishment of the prosecution and defense deal is that we can find the murderer through the clues you gave, I advise you to be more aware of current affairs and not to blame yourself Just kidding for half my life."

Shen Lie lowered his head inadvertently, and saw Ning Yuan squatting at his feet, looking up at him with shining eyes.

Shen Lie: "..."

What are you looking at me for!

Ning Yuan said: "Now you are [-] meters tall in my heart!"

Shen Lie: "..."

Why should I grow so tall in your heart?

Over there Dino and Kathy started recording Jack's clues.

Jack swallowed his saliva before he said, "Louis is mentally handicapped and can't even take care of himself, but once I see him, it's like being slapped in the face, I—"

"Stop, give me your self-pity and fast-forward, I don't have time to listen to you playing emotional cards here, what did you think about when you gave birth." Casey interrupted him mercilessly.

"What can I do? I'm a Catholic, I can't have an abortion!" Jack growled.

"Wow, that's interesting. Doctrine tells you that abortion is a sin, but doesn't the law tell you that buying and selling is also a sin?" Casey snorted.

Dino gestured for Jack to continue.

"I couldn't take it any longer. Later, by chance, I came across a website that was full of..." He glanced at the police officers, then at Shen Lie, and said in a low voice, "...they are all child lovers." addiction."

"You sold your own child to a pedophile?" Dino frowned in disgust, and threw the pen and paper to him: "Write down the website and your buyer."

Jack indicated that he was still being handcuffed.Kathy rolled her eyes, got up and uncuffed, and Jack flexed his wrist to write.

After Jack finished writing, Dino went to the technical department with the paper, and Casey stayed behind to take Jack to the Central Detention Center for registration, so Shen Lie and Sidon left the interrogation room.

While in the elevator, Sidon looked at Shen Lie's sharp phoenix eyes and the delicate profile of his face that was different from that of Europeans and Americans, and he took the initiative to ask, "Going to have a drink after get off work?"

Ning Yuan, who had always turned his back to him, turned his head and glared at him.

Did you know you're a defense attorney?Why did you invite the prosecutor out for a drink so casually!

Besides, who wants to drink with you!

Shen Lie was also very surprised, turned his head to look at Sidon and shook his head: "Our current identities are not suitable, right?"

Ning Yuan turned back and glared at him again: "You really think about going!"

Shen Lie: "..."

Sidon was not angry when he was rejected, and said with a smile, he got off the elevator next time.

Shen Lie looked at Ning Yuan who was a little furious, and laughed: "Why are you so nervous?"

Ning Yuan was stunned, and touched the tip of his nose: "...Then it would be bad if you go out to drink with him, others will think you have a private relationship, it will not affect your reputation."

"I still think a lot," Shen Lie also got off the elevator, "It's getting late, hurry home and sleep, you will cover me with three quilts tonight!"

Ning Yuan protested: "...why!"

Two beds are already very heavy, okay?

Shen Lie said coldly, "Because the two quilts can't hold you down."

I still woke up from the cold this morning!

Back home, Shen Lie took off his coat and threw it on the sofa, loosened his tie, and Ning Yuan squatted on the sofa like a puppy, thinking.

Shen Lie saw that he was so cute looking blankly thinking, and couldn't help asking: "What do you think?"

"Well... I have treated many people with various mental illnesses, but this is the first time I met someone who had sex with his own sister and gave birth to a child," Ning Yuan shook his head, "and then actually changed hands. Selling one's own child to a pedophile? It's still hard for me to accept."

Shen Lie laughed, and leaned against the wall to look at him: "So, now, Doctor Ning wants to analyze Jack from a psychological point of view?"

"No, no, no," Ning Yuan raised his index finger and shook it left and right, "Jack, this is not a psychological problem. He didn't show any obvious signs of unhealthy mental health. Although I don't want to admit it, it's just... a moral problem .I’ve also been in contact with twins before, and it’s true that many twins firmly believe that they are the closest in the world, but this situation? Tsk.”

Shen Lie was noncommittal: "Now Jack is not important anymore. He will be squatting in prison for more than 20 years. There is no beautiful twin sister there, only a group of big men with big waists. The most urgent thing is to find Jack's next family. If Being a pedophile would explain the abuse in Lewis."

"Ahhh!" Ning Yuan violently grabbed a cushion on the sofa and began to ruthlessly ravage it, "Why are these people still alive!"

Shen Lie walked towards the bathroom: "This is why we are needed."

Ning Yuan stared at Shen Lie's figure disappearing behind the bathroom, and was stunned.

we?

Suddenly he slams the cushion into his face.

Sounds pretty good...

"The Technology Department found Jack's next home," Dino returned with a load of clues, "The IP address shows that it's in the Empire State Building."

"Wait a minute," Casey looked at him blankly, "Is the Empire State Building you're talking about the Empire State Building I thought of?"

"Is there a second Empire State Building in America?"

Casey still had a dull face: "New York, Midtown Manhattan, CBD (Central Business District), Empire State Building, World Financial Center, and pedophiles?"

Dino couldn't understand Casey's thinking: "Is there any contradiction in this?"

Casey said weakly: "I just didn't expect that the first time I stepped into such a high-end place would be to catch pedophiles."

Dino still didn't understand: "Is the Empire State Building very high-end?"

Casey: "..."

Yeah, after all a month's rent on the Empire State Building should be worth about as much to you as a pair of pajamas.

Why would I partner with a guy whose family has a castle in France?

Jerry, I want to switch partners with you. Although Gloria is very violent, at least our lives are on the same level.

Very indifferent.

When Casey complained, Dino was calling Shen Lie to apply for a search warrant.

"Where are you going to search again?" Shen Lie answered Dino's call while waiting for the red light, thinking he had heard it wrong.

"Eps International Trading Company," Dino confirmed, "is in the headquarters office on the [-]th floor of the Empire State Building."

"..." Shen Lie had a rare headache, just at this time the green light was on, he hurriedly said something and went back to the office before hanging up Dino's phone.

Ning Yuan also heard the content of the call, and asked with a blank face: "Is Epsom the multinational company that is very good at developing electronic chips?"

Shen Lie hummed.

"So what's the matter?"

Shen Lie considered his words for a while: "One of Eps' foundations funded the New York District Attorney's Office and the entire New York Police Department last quarter."

Ning Yuan opened his mouth wide.

Shen Lie took a deep breath, and stepped on the accelerator: "The most important thing is that I guess I can find a three-legged toad than I can find a judge who hasn't had dinner with Ryan Bass, CEO of Epsom, to sign this document." There is a high possibility of a search warrant."

Ning Yuan: "..."

I swear I literally heard teeth grinding.

very scary.

"Judge Donovan," Shen Lie knocked on the door of the judge's office, "Are you free now?"

"Prosecutor Shen," Judge Donovan, who was over forty years old, smiled heartily after seeing him, and waved, "Come in and sit down."

Shen Lie opened his chair and sat down, and handed him a search warrant application: "Your Excellency, I'm here to apply for a search warrant."

"Well," the judge took the application, opened it and glanced twice, with a delicate expression, "Are you sure this is necessary?"

Shen Lie said seriously: "The police officers of the Homicide Squad tried to ask the employees of Epsis to cooperate, but they refused to hand over their computers without a search warrant."

"That's what a country that advocates human rights is like," Judge Donovan smiled.

"Your Honor—"

Judge Donovan raised his hand to interrupt Shen Lie: "Prosecutor, do you know that if I issue this search warrant to you and you slap it on Eps' desk and you find nothing? , what are you and I facing?"

"Do you know what I know, Your Excellency," Shen Lie stood up with firm and persistent eyes, "a seven-year-old boy was brutally murdered by a pedophile, and the bastard who did it was wearing a mannequin The dog-like Gympie is sitting in the noble office of the Empire State Building, counting how much money has been added to his account today, the stock price will rise by a few percentage points tomorrow, and which government agency should be funded the day after tomorrow!"

Donovan sat and looked at the Eastern prosecutor from above his glasses, "Prosecutor, you are not in court now, and I am not a jury, so there is no need for you to try to impress me with your voice."

Shen Lie closed his eyes and sat down again.
