"Case No. 55890, the State of New York indicted Vincent Osterley on one count of first-degree homicide, two counts of statutory rape, one count of second-degree kidnapping, one count of intentional assault, and one count of child trafficking."

Although he was nearly 40 years old, the surprisingly handsome Judge Parker raised his eyebrows after hearing the court clerk's report: "It's really impressive."

Standing in the dock besides the defendant Vincent is his defense lawyer, a young white man, his eyebrows and eyes are not very handsome, but he has a very special taste. When he smiles, there is no substance Ning Yuan would feel very evil.

At this time, the defense lawyer said: "Your Excellency, the prosecutor is too strict with my client. Many of these surprising crimes are unnecessary."

"It's not me who is strict, but the laws of the United States," Shen Lie responded coldly. "First, I think it is necessary; second, I am the prosecutor. If your client has committed a crime, I have the obligation to prosecute."

The defense lawyer had a half-smile: "It's the so-called crime," he emphasized the word "so-called", "Now my client is still innocent."

Judge Parker coughed and said with a smile, "Calm down girls, now is not the time to fight over your boyfriend."

Both Shen Lie and defense lawyer Klein shut their mouths angrily.

Judge Parker saw them quiet down, and then asked again: "How does the defendant justify the above charges?"

Vincent cleared his throat and said with a smile, "Not guilty."

Judge Parker then asked Shen Lie: "The prosecutor's request for bail?"

"A request for remand pending trial," Shen Lie said immediately, "Given the defendant's strong financial resources and possession of a private jet or even a private jet pilot's license, the prosecution believes that the defendant has the risk of absconding without permission."

Klein laughed out loud: "This is ridiculous, Your Excellency, just because my client has a noble social status, strong financial resources, and even a private jet will deprive my client of his right to bail? Prosecutor, you don't hate the rich Bar?"

Shen Lie also smirked: "It's not about wealth and social status, but about your client's cruel torture and murder of a seven-year-old boy, and the torture of another victim for ten years! Your Excellency," he turned to Looking at Judge Parker sincerely, "Bail is easy for the defendant. Once he is released on bail, many children will be in danger!"

Klein interrupted him: "Prosecutor, please don't speculate. My client is a good citizen, pays taxes on time, and is an important figure in the community and New York." He saw Shen Lie open his mouth to say something, and immediately spoke to Judge Parker first. Said: "Your Excellency, in order to ensure my innocence and reputation, my client is willing to take the initiative to hand over his passport."

Shen Lie retorted: "Private jets do not require a passport."

Judge Parker raised his hand to signal the prosecution and the defense to stop the quarrel. He pondered for a while. This was a very difficult decision for him as a judge: "The bail is set at 1000 million US dollars. At the same time, the defendant must fully abide by the bail. According to the regulations, the locator must be tied at all times, and the location other than the residence and work location must not be removed. Do you understand?"

Vincent smiled even more: "I fully understand, Your Honor."

Judge Parker turned to Shen Lie, with a warning tone: "Do you understand, Prosecutor Shen?"

Shen Lie took a deep breath: "Understood."

Judge Parker raised the small hammer in satisfaction, and just as he was about to drop it, Shen Lie said suddenly: "Your Excellency! I am applying for a restraining order to Vincent Osterley on behalf of one of the victims, who is a serious murderer. Detectives from the case team rescued him from one of Vincent's residences."

"Interesting," Klein raised the corners of his lips at Shen Lie, "As far as I know, the so-called victim of Prosecutor Shen was rescued from a former property of my client," he said again on the 'Once' Emphasized the tone, "My client has no knowledge of this, and the restraining order is unreasonable!"

"The victim testified against the defendant," Shen Lie said, "and this can be the reason for applying for a restraining order."

"Oh? Testimonial? How did I not know that the officers of the Homicide Squad had arranged a line-up?"

"Okay!" Judge Parker interrupted the dispute again with a headache. Although he was still smiling, he said to Klein unquestionably, "Since your client knows nothing about this, the restraining order is naturally not for your client. Impact!" After finishing speaking, ignoring Klein's movement to speak, he knocked down the small hammer: "Next case! The prosecutor handed over the restraining order materials to my office during the lunch break."

Ning Yuan stayed by Shen Lie's side the whole time. After the judge dropped the hammer, he commented in astonishment: "This result is really exactly what you thought before!"

Hearing this, Shen Lie raised his eyebrows with a little complacency.

Ning Yuan scratched his face: "By the way, have you reached some dirty deal with this judge in private?"

Shen Lie gave him a hard look, and the latter flattened his mouth.

What a murderer!

Wait for me to find a chance to freeze you today!

snort!

Back in Shen Lie's office, Shen Lie opened the desk drawer, pulled out the tablet and threw it to Ning Yuan: "I'll go to Judge Parker in a while, you can continue to chat with Angel, and try to let him queue up for identification first."

Ning Yuan caught the tablet in a hurry, still in shock: "Why did you throw it over so suddenly! What if I didn't catch it and broke it!"

Shen Lie was noncommittal: "I'll buy it if it's broken."

Ning Yuan squatted on the ground and opened his mouth wide: "..."

Are you so mean? !

Shen Lie felt that he looked like a dazed little white cat now, and couldn't help laughing: "What's your expression?"

Ning Yuan organized his language, trying not to hurt Dao Shen Lie's self-esteem: "The prosecutor is a government official, and the salary of a government official...is not that high. Maybe you should save some money, otherwise what will happen to your mortgage?"

Shen Lie looked strange: "Mortgage loan?"

Ning Yuan nodded: "The location of your house is so good, it's so expensive that it's hard to pay it back, don't worry about when you will pay it back!"

If it doesn't work, I can also help to pay back a little at that time... Just treat it as a reward for absorbing Yang Qi!

After all, he is also a psychiatrist with an independent clinic, hehe.

Shen Lie: "..."

Rubbing the corners of his eyes, he still couldn't hold back, and laughed: "I didn't come to be a prosecutor as soon as I graduated from Harvard Law School."

ha?

Ning Yuan was still squatting on the ground holding the tablet with a dazed expression on his face.

Shen Lie didn't explain much, and went to Judge Parker with the information of the restraining order with a smile on his lips.

Ning Yuan pursed his mouth, slid open the tablet, and continued to give Angel a special psychological counseling.

In Judge Parker's office, Shen Lie sat opposite the judge and handed him the corresponding documents.Judge Parker looked at him and smiled. "You know I don't want to take this case."

Shen Lie hummed: "It can't be helped. Except for you, there is no judge in the judicial system who has refused to have dinner with Vincent to decide this case."

Judge Parker was helpless: "My original intention of rejecting him was just that I didn't want to get involved in the messy things. I didn't expect that I got involved in another way in the end."

Shen Lie also raised the corner of his lower lip when he heard the words: "I have always respected you."

Judge Parker waved his hand: "Don't give me a high hat. Put down the materials and go. You know I can't stay alone with you for a long time."

Shen Lie said good afternoon and turned to go out. When he closed the doorknob with his hand, he heard Judge Parker's voice behind him: "You know, in this case, if there is no line up for identification, according to the procedure, I should not Issuing you a restraining order."

Shen Lie paused for a while before whispering: "I also know that you will not let what happened to your child happen to another child again."

The judge fell silent behind him.

The moment Shen Lie closed the door, he heard a deep sigh.
