I love you, I won't kill you

Li Junxi, who was sitting in front of the interrogation table, seemed to be calm as usual, but his legs were shaking extremely violently.He could swear on his own life or his father's chain of western pastry restaurants, not knowing what fate awaits him next.

Although he looks good, his family is rich, and he is waiting for the throne of the new president of the family restaurant in the future, everything happened too suddenly and too scary, which almost dragged him, who is superior and owns everything, into the Devil Satan's arms.

Now that he had time to calm down, Li Junxi turned to think of his aunt, his parents, relatives and friends who were far away in China, and the face of the female college student who hadn't had time to go back to the blind date.This made him, who was proud and arrogant, and whose face was more precious than his life, almost have the idea of ​​suicide.

I don't know how long it took, but Michael still didn't see the tough policewoman who arrested him appearing on the opposite side of the interrogation table.Since the policewoman didn't show up, why not think about how to get in touch with the parents in China through my aunt.Maybe they have the ability to save themselves from this ghost place.

"What to do, what to do? The key is the revolver. Damn, I don't have a license to hold a gun. Will it add another crime to me because of this?" Michael focused all the questions on the revolver that never On a .38 revolver that never fired a single shot.

As a student at the University of Chicago with a Korean passport, Michael did not know what the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was, nor did he know that this Amendment guaranteed the right of legal citizens of the United States to keep and wear arms.All he knew was that he was a foreign college student who bought a pistol on the black market.For the man who sold him the gun, he didn't even remember his skin color or appearance.

What a mistake, his worries were only legal in Chicago.As one of the few cities in the United States that has worked hard to ban guns, Chicago's gun control measures are much stricter than other cities or federal states.

Since the implementation of the gun ban law in Chicago in 1982, it has not improved the local law and order, but has aroused an upsurge of illegal gun ownership.Under the constant harassment of the prevalence of drug trade and rampant gang crimes, more legal people believe that private gun ownership is the best way to ensure their own safety.At least when being robbed or injured, you can "hold a gun for self-defense" to the greatest extent.

First-time offenders with firearms will be fined up to $5000 and jailed for 90 days, and repeat offenders will be fined up to $10000 and jailed for six months.That is to say, Michael's behavior is at most a first-time offender, and the maximum punishment is nothing more than 6 days of detention.

With his fingerprints on the gun, Michael would naturally confess to the police the whole process of buying and selling the gun.Therefore, the next three summers can only be spent in the Cook County Detention Center where Chicago is located.As for the $5000 fine, it is really not an important matter to him and his parents in Seoul.

After being questioned by uniformed patrol officers at the scene, Margaret learned that her nephew bought a .38 pistol and hid it in the room.Having lived in Chicago for many years, she is of course well aware of Chicago's regulations on gun control.

After the patrolman left, Margaret thought to herself, "This child is really worrying! Buying a point 38 is a fine and detention at most. But now the problem is that the neighbor's child wants to sue him for invasion of privacy and Sexual harassment. What can I do about it?"

"No, I have to inform Junxi's parents quickly. And hire a lawyer, damn it, why did I forget such an important thing!" Thinking of this, Margaret grabbed the phone next to the sofa and directly called the Gangnam District in Seoul. Junxi's parents' home.

From the moment she walked into Sheriff Mitchell's office, Connie had a crush on the girl who was about to become her client. As for what kind of crush she had, she couldn't tell for a while.

From a professional standpoint, her attorney's fees would be calculated by the hour for any criminal or civil litigation she took on.But judging from her personal feelings at the moment, she is more willing to sincerely help this girl whose privacy has been violated and sexually harassed.

After carefully inquiring about the ins and outs of the case, Connie said to Ralph seriously and relaxedly, "Sheriff Mitchell, uh...as a lawyer, my fee is $700 an hour. But Given the seriousness of this invasion of privacy and sexual harassment lawsuit, today... I can make an exception for your daughter."

Julie thought she would really charge less lawyer fees, and said happily, "Really? You can charge the fees of ordinary lawyers? Then, from the moment you receive the inquiry call from Superintendent Morgan, how will you calculate it?" Am I going to pay your attorney's fees?"

Ralph was amused by his daughter's witty question, and he said repeatedly, "Baby, she is not an ordinary lawyer who charges $300 an hour. A police officer like me can only go to the police station where the fee is cheap." consult with legal counsel.”

Connie looked at Julie fondly, "Well... I put it this way, and you'll understand. Usually, sexual harassment cases can be resolved through out-of-court mediation. But in view of your special case, I consider At that time, the defendant will be prosecuted for criminal offenses.”

"Uh...you mean that not only will the defendant be charged with a criminal offense, but also his civil liability and the amount of compensation will be pursued. Is that so?" Julie said seriously.

"That's right, Julie. Well... I really like you more and more, haha." Connie said enthusiastically.

"Don't fall in love with me yet, the price hasn't been negotiated yet. If the lawyer's fee is too expensive, I'll have to ask you to send me the bill and terminate our cooperative relationship."

Judging from the nature, victims and background of this lawsuit, if this case is won, it will be very beneficial to Connie's future development in Chicago.Her fees will rise to the level of the most expensive divorce lawyer in Los Angeles, $1000 an hour.

Once convicted, the defendant will lose his job and income if he is light; if he is serious, he will pay huge losses, go to jail, or even break up his family.38 pistol, Michael was a first-time offender in a sexual harassment case.But the consequences were absolutely unexpected to him and his parents.

Connie giggled and said, "Okay, this time I'm going to make a contingency fee. You get it?"

"Contingency fee? Are you sure you will win this lawsuit? Even my mentor would not easily make such a promise to a client."

"Oh... your advisor? Which university did you go to law school? How about this, when this lawsuit is over, I'm sure we can sit down and chat and drink coffee with mutual interest."

Julie shrugged deliberately, and said, "No problem, it's just that I don't have the money to pay for your conversation."

Connie leaned on the sofa and said with a crooked smile, "Hehe, I think you can afford it."

The two women laughed at the same time. At this moment, Ralph coughed twice and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, this is the Chicago Police Department. There are still many detectives watching you outside."

The content of the case and the lawyer's fees were almost negotiated by the two parties, and Connie was going back to the office to draft the litigation documents.Then he said to Ralph, "Oh, take it easy, Sheriff. Well, I'll have my assistant send you the bill this afternoon."
