companion ghost

"Hi New York Police Department homicide unit...Okay, thank you." Casey put down the microphone and announced listlessly: "I'm calling from Ren'ai Hospital. The scourge can always linger for 1000 years."

Jerry stopped pouring coffee into his mouth: "On the bright side, Lily can come out after squatting for a few years, and maybe she can be acquitted by a jury that is sympathetic."

Casey snorted coldly: "This is really the only benefit of his life."

Dino came out of the office and leaned against the door: "It's getting late, everyone pack up and go home, who's on duty tonight?"

"I," Gloria yawned, "you all go home, I'll be home after my midnight shift."

"Sure," Dino took out a key from his pocket and threw it to Gloria, "It's too late, I leave you the police car key."

Gloria blew him a kiss, and the handsome Frenchman laughed.

Casey turned off the computer and stood up, Dino said to him, "I'll take you home and see Karl by the way."

Casey hummed, grabbed the coat from the back of the chair and walked out of the police station side by side with Dino.

Over there, Casey and Dino went to see Karl, and here, Shen Lie's head would explode after answering a phone call.

"What did you say?"

"Are you kidding me? Don't tell me you don't understand the twists and turns!"

"Impossible, don't even think about it, I won't take this case... Don't scare me, at worst, I will go back to be a defense lawyer. At that time, I can earn five hundred dollars an hour... It's a matter of money Do I need your money?"

"..."

Ning Yuan was squatting next to Shen Lie on the sofa, seeing Shen Lie angrily arguing with the phone, he was so frightened that he didn't dare to breathe.Suddenly he didn't know what was said there, Shen Lie's expression actually eased, although he listened to what was said for 5 minutes, he didn't say a word.

"I see, I will think about it." After speaking, Shen Lie hung up the phone directly, and threw the phone on the sofa.As soon as he looked up, he saw Ning Yuan staring at him, his doggy eyes were big and round, he couldn't help smiling, and sat on the sofa, beckoning to him.

Ning Yuan moved over and asked, "What's wrong?"

Shen Lie gestured to the poor mobile phone that was thrown on the sofa, and said, "The District Attorney's Office, my boss [Note], wants me to sue Stephen for murder."

"What?!" Ning Yuan sat up straight, unbelievable, "What did he ask you to do? Stephen is the victim!"

Shen Lie looked at Ning Yuan who was reacting fiercely: "It's a victim who confessed that he was a murderer in front of the judge and jury in court. And you heard me, I said I would not sue Stephen, but he told me yes The above meaning."

"Above? How much?"

Shen Lie sneered: "How many people do you think Vincent can find? It's almost at the top."

Ning Yuan stared blankly at him: "Then you..."

Shen Lie sighed: "My boss said something that moved me. If it was me who sued, Stephen would at least have the possibility of getting a plea deal, but if it was assigned by the higher authorities..."

Ning Yuan understood what Shen Lie didn't say.

If the District Prosecutor's Office is allowed to appoint a prosecutor to prosecute Stephen, it is very likely that he will not care about Stephen's life and death at all, and Stephen can't afford a good lawyer... the result can be imagined.

Shen Lie's voice was cold: "Vincent wants Stephen's life."

Ning Yuan changed his posture from squatting to sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed, and put his chin on his knees: "Then what are you going to do?"

"It should be next," Shen Lie said, "I can't do anything to Vincent for the time being. Giving Stephen a plea bargain is the only thing I can do now."

Ning Yuan scratched his face: "How do you plan to trade?"

Shen Lie saw a slightly red mark on his white and tender face, couldn't help stretching out his hand to pinch it, the latter let out a cry of pain.

Shen Lie: "..."

Ning Yuan: "..."

What the hell just happened!

Shen Lie narrowed his eyes, reached out and grabbed Ning Yuan's wrist and pulled him over.

Ning Yuan: "...Mom, you can meet me now!"

Shen Lie was also very surprised, not only could he touch Ning Yuan's body, he even lost that cold feeling, plus he could see Ning Yuan now, as if... as if Ning Yuan was a living person now, It's no different from him.

Ning Yuan also stared at himself blankly, and then took the initiative to go to Shen Lie's side and raised his face: "You pinch again?"

Shen Lie laughed, and he was not polite, he stretched out his hand and pinched it.

"Ow!"

Ning Yuan screamed, and jumped aside, covering his cheeks: "Your hands are so heavy!"

Shen Lie raised his eyebrows: "Isn't the effect more obvious?"

Ning Yuan: "..."

Bad taste!

Shen Lie looked at Ning Yuan who was rubbing his face, a small curve appeared on his lips.

It seems that the day of his materialization will not be far away.

"You've already decided?" Dino walked to the side to answer the phone, seeing Casey squatting on the ground with Carl and stacking the Lego blocks that Dino bought for Carl, he couldn't help frowning when he heard Shen Lie's call.

"What else can you do?"

"...This may be the best way." Dino sighed slightly, "Shall we meet at Stephen's house tomorrow morning?"

"Send me the address." After speaking, Shen Lie hung up.

Dino put the phone in his pocket, walked back to Carl and Dino, and rubbed Carl's soft blond hair: "How are you playing?"

Carl raised his face, blushing, and nodded vigorously; "I like it!" After speaking, he rubbed against Dino's calf and hugged him: "I want to sleep with Dino today!"

Abandoned Casey: "..."

You just abandoned me after being bought by a set of building blocks?

Dino laughed, and lifted Carl up from the ground: "Okay, I'll sleep with Carl today." He glanced at Casey with a smirk, "Can you let Casey sleep on the floor?"

Carl's big green eyes tilted his head to look at Casey, and shook his head: "No, Casey will suffer from back pain."

Upon hearing this, Casey showed the kind of sunny and hearty smile that both Karl and Dino like best: "Carl is the best for me, right?"

"Yes!" Carl said in a childish voice, and ran out of Dino's arms and leaned over to kiss Casey's face with his tender lips, "I like Casey the most!"

Casey hugged him, stood up from the ground, carried Carl on his shoulders, and walked towards the bedroom: "Sleep!"

Dino walked behind them, looking at the big and the young with a smile.

It's as if anything can go away as long as you look at them like this.

"I can finally get rid of these big quilts!" Ning Yuan threw those big quilts into the cabinet as if venting his anger, and Shen Lie leaned against the headboard on the bed behind him, his hair still covered with hair after taking a shower. Moisture, flipping through the book in his hand.

Ning Yuan turned his head inadvertently, saw his handsome and delicate side face, felt a little itchy in his heart, and jumped on him directly.

Shen Lie: "..."

If I can meet you, I will have fun, right?

Ning Yuan maintained the posture lying on Shen Lie's body and looked at him with dog eyes, and Shen Lie also looked at him, his phoenix eyes flashed once, and he stretched out his index finger to touch Ning Yuan's forehead: "Why are you so fat?"

Ning Yuan: "...!!!!"

I am fat?

I am fat? !

Seeing Ning Yuan's resentful eyes, Shen Lie couldn't help pinching his belly: "It's so soft."

Ning Yuan: "You are so annoying!"

Don't I just have a little bit of meat!

You have amazing abs!

Eight yuan is amazing!

Shen Lie put his right hand around Ning Yuan's arm, and turned him to his side: "Sleep! I have to find Stephen tomorrow morning."

As soon as Stephen Ningyuan was mentioned, his face collapsed: "I don't understand now why he said that we were all lying to him."

Shen Lie shrugged: "The ghost knows how Vincent fooled him, let's talk about it tomorrow depending on the situation."

Ning Yuan saw Shen Lie turn off the warm bedside lamp and close his eyes.

"What are you doing here?"

Stephen answered the knock on the door, and after opening it, he found that it was Dino Casey and Shen Lie, his expression became very bad.

Casey took a step forward, with worry in her blue eyes; "Stephen, can you tell me why you said that in court? Did Vincent threaten you?"

Stephen still had that pale, fragile and beautiful face, and he still had a thin, malnourished figure. The difference was the blank expression on his face: "If this is the problem, then we have nothing to talk about." After finishing speaking, he The door was about to be closed, but the door was firmly held down by Dino's outstretched hand.

Shen Lie looked at this young man, who didn't look like an adult at all. He was so thin and slender that he seemed to be only 15 years old. He forced himself to harden his heart, took out a letter and handed it to Stephen: "Stephen Leiter, you are under arrest. Here is your arrest warrant."

Stephen was only surprised for a moment, and then he regained his composure, and there was even a hint of sarcasm at the corner of his lips.

Casey looked at him with a complicated expression, but didn't move.Dino had no choice but to take out the handcuffs and handcuff Stephen to the police car.Casey whispered to Shen Lie: "Is this really necessary? Do you have to handcuff him?"

Shen Lie's expression was very cold: "Can you stop being emotional like a little girl? Do you really want Stephen to lose the chance of a prosecution and defense deal because of not following the procedure?"

Casey was speechless.

He understood what Shen Lie said, but...at this time, his sensibility really defeated his rationality.Putting handcuffs on a victim instead of a perpetrator?Make a victim pay for his perpetrator?

Before getting into the car, Stephen still spoke to Casey: "You want to know why I said that?"

Casey's eyes lit up.

Stephen sneered: "I still remember what you touched me with, fatherly love, family, right? That's something I haven't felt since I can remember. You brought it to me and told me it was a What a warm, happy relationship. But in fact, you are all lying to me."

Casey said eagerly, "I didn't lie to—"

"My father is dead, isn't he?"

Casey's unspoken words were blocked, and she didn't know what to say.

Stephen looked at him, two pairs of beautiful green eyes looking at each other, and then Stephen looked away first, looking at his handcuffs: "Vincent just told me the truth, the truth is that apart from him, I am in this I can’t rely on anyone in the world, and apart from him, no one can prove the meaning of my existence. The beautiful blueprints and happy life you have planned for me are all in vain. The difference between the present and the past is just a change. There is no place to live. And I," under the sunlight, his side face is almost transparent, "is even more lonely."

Casey stared at him blankly, Dino sighed inaudibly, pressed his head and let him sit in the police car.

Ning Yuan watched all this, only feeling tightness in his chest.

Shen Lie walked into the interrogation room. Stephen and his court-appointed lawyer were sitting at the table: "I will offer a plea deal."

The lawyer was quite surprised: "I heard that Prosecutor Shen rarely offers deals."

Shen Lie stood and looked down at the lawyer: "Stop talking nonsense, you want it or not."

The lawyer shrugged: "What can you offer?"

Shen Lie said indifferently: "Your client pleaded guilty, and I will lower the charge to second-degree manslaughter. You submit a motion about mental problems, and I will provide your client with treatment in a mental sanatorium until he recovers, without going to jail."

The lawyer had a half-smile: "For a crime my client didn't commit?"

Shen Lie slammed the folder on the table, leaned forward, and said word by word: "I suggest you accept this deal, otherwise I won't be the one to sue, and your client won't have any more deals! You Think this case is so simple? Ask your client yourself!"

The lawyer was frightened by Shen Lie's aura, before he could speak, he heard his client beside him softly say: "I accept."

"Very good." Shen Lie straightened up and said coldly.

The lawyer asked Stephen with some concerns: "Are you sure? We can hold a trial without accepting the deal."

Stephen answered the lawyer, but looked straight at Shen Lie: "It doesn't matter what I do. Do you think it makes any difference whether I live now or where I live?"

Shen Lie looked at him with dark eyes, and left the interrogation room without saying a word.

What can I say?

It's pointless to say anything at this point.

[Note] District Attorney: District Attorneys is referred to as DA. According to different regions, each legal jurisdiction has a general prosecutor. In many places, they are elected by the people. They are independent in government departments and do not need to buy other departments.One person is particularly awesome. All the prosecutors under him are assisting him to serve the people, so the word Assistant (assistant) is included in the title.It is also referred to as ADA.But it definitely does not mean that they are not qualified enough to be prosecutors and can only be assistants.

Shen Lie is a very powerful ADA in my setting, that is, the assistant district attorney.But in fact, it is the prosecutor, and his boss is the chief prosecutor, a very awesome person.

In fact, the ADA is generally followed in handling cases. I also know that the Attorney General will not be down-to-earth...it's all politics, hush. (Most of the knowledge comes from Weibo blog powell)
