Lyon's face was ashen, and Vincent's face was not good. He opened his mouth and said the first sentence when he came to the New York Police Department office: "Since the police officers have said that you did not do it, I also believe it. Now, as a Citizens of New York City, officially report the crime, and hope you can find out who really did these things."

Auston smiled slightly: "I'm sorry, Mr. Osterley, we are the Homicide Squad here, and we are only in charge of dead cases. We don't accept trivial matters like this."

Vincent choked.

Dino said lightly: "Now, if you don't mind, we're going to continue with lunch."

Vincent and Leon left angrily. Auston watched their backs and smelled the wind and rain.

In the restaurant

Ning Yuan carefully considered the words word by word in his heart, and then said it gently: "I don't recommend you to get involved."

Klein smiled wryly: "I've already been involved, and I've been involved since the very beginning."

Ning Yuan sighed: "You know, the prosecution of Vincent's rape, abuse and murder of Sean has been withdrawn due to insufficient evidence. If you want to bring him to justice, there are only two options now: the first, Sean’s case has the latest important physical evidence; second, there are new conclusive charges—”

"I know." Klein's slender fingers touched the coffee cup, and he flinched from the hot cup wall before taking it back.

The two sat quietly opposite each other for a while.

Then Ning Yuan heard Klein's soft voice: "What do you think is the chance of me suing him for rape?"

Ning Yuan was silent for a while, and then said: "To be honest, I don't care about this, I only care about you, because you are my patient, and the only indicator for me to measure things is how much this thing will cause your illness and psychology. Influence. As far as this matter is concerned, I know it is the right thing to do rationally, but I suggest you not to do it emotionally. You are a lawyer yourself, and you know that when you make this decision, you will definitely tear Open your own bloody wound."

Klein looked down at the heat on the coffee cup, and Ning Yuan looked at him like a dejected kitten who did something wrong.He curled his fingers up a bit before gripping the still-hot coffee mug.

"F. Quarles said that a person cannot live without others, and whoever lives only for himself will live in vain."

"I don't have such lofty thoughts."

"I just want to sleep well."

he said weakly.

When Shen Lie stepped into the office of the Homicide Squad, he was shocked by the eyes of the police officers.

Casey grinned and patted him on the shoulder: "Good job!"

Auston slapped Casey's hands off and let them all into his office.

As soon as the door was closed, Casey couldn't wait to ask: "Did you print so many Vincent's 'big stickers' and put them next to his home and company?"

"not me."

Shen Lie flatly denied it.

"Come on," Jerry said firmly, "it's you."

"I never lie. I did not print it out, nor did I post it in those places," Shen Lie raised his chin, "I just packed up his materials and sent them to the 'Justice League' organization to remind them, They left out one of the ugliest perverts."

"The Justice League..." Dino thought back, "I have the impression that this is an organization formed spontaneously among citizens, specializing in tracking and monitoring sex offenders—"

"That's a good way to say it," Gloria obviously had heard of it, "I heard that this organization is extremely extreme, but it can always get stuck a millimeter away from the high-voltage wires of the law, so that law enforcement agencies can only hate it." Teeth itch because everything they do makes the government look even more ineffective."

Shen Lie nodded.

Auston frowned slightly: "I'm worried that Vincent will find out that you are behind the push and it will be against you."

"He won't," Shen Lie said, "I finished it very cleanly. What's more, his information is published online, and everyone can easily find it. But I spent a lot of effort when I was looking for it. He The information was placed on the last page," he smiled sarcastically, "I don't know how much money was stuffed."

Jerry raised his finger; "Again, Das Kapital."

Gloria stomped on him: "Shut up."

Alston waved his hand: "It's gone, what should I do - Jerry, if you haven't handed in your statement on the last case, I will ask you to write a month's internal report!"

Jerry was the first to rush out of the office.

In the restaurant

Ning Yuan sighed: "If you have made up your mind, I won't stop you. But I have a request. During the whole process, you must come for a psychological evaluation at least once a week."

Klein nodded.

Ning Yuan ate the last piece of apple in the bowl and stood up: "Let's go, I will go to the police station with you."

Klein was taken aback.

"I'm a psychological counselor of the Homicide Squad," Ning Yuan smiled. "I think you and the police officers didn't have a good impression of each other in the previous case. It's embarrassing and conflicting. I'll go and make an intermediary for you buffer."

Klein really didn't expect this level, so he sincerely thanked him.

NYPD Manhattan Homicide Squad

The elevator door opened, and Klein hesitated as he looked at the glass door in front of him with the school of the Homicide Squad written on it.

Ning Yuan patted him on the shoulder: "You still have one last chance to regret it. You have to think about it, once you walk in, you will face the grand jury, the jury, the people of the whole country, and Vincent T. Osterley."

Klein took a deep breath, and pushed open the glass door, making a creaking sound.

Dino looked over upon hearing the reputation, and was startled by the visitor: "Mr. Reid?"

Kathy sat across from him and buried himself in writing documents, and asked casually, "Which Rhett?"

Dino said, "Klein Reid."

"K..." Casey frowned, "Here for Vincent again? Didn't the chief lawyer change?"

The police officers who didn't know the inside story of the matter really didn't have a good feeling for Klein.

At this moment, they saw Ning Yuan beside Klein.

Casey lowered his voice: "They know each other? It feels like they have a good relationship."

Dino shook his head to indicate that he didn't know either.

Ning Yuan brought Klein towards Dino, thinking that Dino should be more rational.

Casey asked suspiciously: "Lawyer, your client, Mr. Osterley, has just been here."

Klein smiled awkwardly: "He is no longer my client."

Casey was even more puzzled: "Then why are you here...?"

"I--"

Seeing that he couldn't speak, Ning Yuan said, "Klein is here to report the crime."

Casey: "????"

Dino: "????"

Klein looked at their stunned faces, feeling embarrassed, and wanted to laugh at the same time.

At this moment, Alston came out of the office, still holding a document in his hand, he threw the document on Jerry's desk, angrily: "Rewrite!"

Jerry: "..."

Didn't you never read it before, why are you so idle now that you read it word by word!

Jerry's and Gloria's desks were next to each other, as were Kathy's and Dino's, and Kathy's and Jerry's desks were side by side with an aisle between them.

Ning Yuan, Klein, and Auston were all in this aisle, and Auston and the two of them had their backs facing each other.

Klein, who was still thinking about how to say it just now, stiffened his back a minute ago.He turned sharply and stared at the back of Alston's golden head, his teeth chattering.

Ning Yuan, Casey and Dino all saw his unusual reaction and looked at him strangely.

Auston didn't look at Casey and Dino at all. The homicide squad came and went every day, so he didn't have the time to look at them one by one.

Until he felt someone grab him behind him and twist him away, and then a gust of punches came straight to his face.

He subconsciously reached out to grab that hand, but he never thought that the other hand would punch him in the side face not to be outdone!

There was an uproar.

The police officers have already grown their mouths so much that they even forgot to fight.

Klein still couldn't let go of his hatred after punching him. He grabbed his collar with his right hand and gritted his teeth: "You bastard, you lied to me!"

Alston looked into his light purple eyes, which were filled with a layer of water, like fine gemstones in the sun.
