Spellcasting Heavens
Chapter 53 The power of the underground world (1)
Well - it seems that I went back to my room and fell asleep at around twelve o'clock last night. Zhang Cheng did not know that he had been recognized, and deliberately pretended to recall for a long time.
After all, the concept of twelve o'clock is very vague. It can be after eleven o'clock or before one in the morning.
If it is understood according to the latter, then he definitely did not lie, at most it can only be regarded as deliberately misinterpreting the meaning of the other party.
Go back to the room and fell asleep? Are you sure? Elena raised her head and asked with two sharp eyes.
Sir, I have to remind you that lying during the investigation of the case is subject to legal responsibility. Clive also threatened.
The two sang together, trying to create a kind of psychological pressure, forcing the so-called only witness to take the initiative to explain what happened last night.
But unfortunately, their intimidation is obviously the wrong target.
After a short trip to Azeroth, Zhang Cheng has undergone earth-shaking changes in both strength and thinking, and even experienced fierce battles, where he would be fooled by just a few words.
I saw him shrugging his shoulders indifferently and responded: I'm sorry, Mr. Police officer, if you say this, then I will keep silent from now on. Unless the lawyer is present, I will not answer any questions.
Elena glanced at the simple furnishings in the house, and curled her lips in disdain: Can you afford a lawyer?
Obviously, under normal circumstances, people living in small apartments in such slums would not even be able to pay for a legal consultation, let alone hiring a lawyer.
Of course, not all people who live in slums are poor. Drug dealers and gang members are rich, but they will never go to restaurants to wash dishes.
In fact, when she came, she inquired with the people around her, and she knew very well how poor the young man in front of her was.
Please wait a moment, I'll make a call, and soon you will know that I can't afford a lawyer. Without saying a word, Zhang Cheng picked up the phone and dialed the restaurant's number.
In just a few seconds, Catherine's lazy voice came from the other side: Good morning, my dear little wizard, calling me in such a hurry, shouldn't there be any trouble?
Zhang Cheng raised his head, stared at the policeman who was standing at the door preparing to watch a joke, and said in a low voice, Unfortunately, you have guessed it. The two policemen are standing at the door of the room at the moment. You'd better send a lawyer quickly, you know. I'm an illegal immigrant who doesn't even have a birth certificate.
Hahahaha! Don't be nervous. If I can't solve this little problem, I have no right to sit in the lord's seat. Just wait, I guarantee that the lawyer will appear in front of your eyes in five minutes at most. After that, Catherine hung up the phone directly.
As the busy voice of Dudu Dudu echoed in the corridor, Elena asked with a half-smiling smile, Sir, how long will it take for your lawyer to arrive?
five minutes!
Although Zhang Cheng wasn't sure if the time was accurate, he still chose to believe in the witch's promise.
In addition, the unreasonable attitude of the other party really annoyed him a little, so his tone became stiff.
Okay, we'll just wait five minutes. But if the lawyer doesn't show up in five minutes, you'd better be honest about what you saw last night, or I don't mind arresting you and handing it over to immigration. Clive Half-truths threatened.
As an old police officer, he is very aware of how many stowaways from all over the world there are in his jurisdiction. Generally speaking, as long as they are not repeatedly involved in criminal activities, the police will not control them.
Because even the US government does not have so much energy and money to repatriate tens of millions of illegal immigrants to the country, sometimes many companies rely on the cheap labor they provide to reduce costs and improve their competitiveness.
Zhang Cheng ignored the verbal threat at all, turned around and walked into the bathroom and began to brush his teeth and take a bath, and he didn't take the other party seriously.
Anyway, the other party didn't have a search warrant, and he didn't even get an invitation from the owner of the house. If they dared to cross the threshold, even if they found any criminal evidence, they couldn't use it as evidence.
Listening to the sound of running water in the bathroom, Elena couldn't help but cursed in a low voice, Damn it! This guy seems a little tricky!
Clive calmly lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and then smiled and comforted his partner: It doesn't matter, we have found someone anyway, we can take it slow, and if necessary, we can apply to the director for an opening. A quid pro quo, like getting him a green card.”
Green card? Elena's eyes widened in surprise.
Yes! Green card! Clive nodded seriously. You don't know, just forty minutes ago, the director personally called and said that the FBI was going to take over this case. If we can solve the case before they arrive, it will not only greatly improve the bureau's Prestige, and it can also add a lot of color to your resume. Once the director leaves, you and I may be promoted.
Why did the FBI suddenly pay attention to a murder case? Elena frowned and questioned, obviously not very concerned about whether she could get a job.
It is said that there have been seven or eight cases of being bitten to death by giant canines in the whole of New York in the past month or so. They want to come over and see if they can find any breakthroughs... Before Clive could finish his words, suddenly I saw two guys in neat suits walking across the stairs and walking towards them.
The leader was a middle-aged man in his fifties and a little fat. He didn't say a word, he put on his business card and introduced himself in a very formulaic tone: My name is Polman, I'm Catherine's Kiss Restaurant. The legal counsel of Mr. Zhang. From now on, he will be responsible for safeguarding Mr. Zhang's legal rights.
Clive took the business card dumbfounded and found that the other party was not joking, but a real professional lawyer.
Oh, God!
A poor ghost living in a slum block can afford a lawyer! !
For a moment, the expressions on the faces of the two detectives were like seeing a ghost.
You must know that even if they are middle-class, they have to think twice about hiring a lawyer to file a lawsuit, otherwise they may be dragged into bankruptcy by a protracted lawsuit and expensive lawyer fees at any time.
At the same time, Zhang Cheng, who had just finished taking a shower, also walked out of the bathroom, wiping his wet hair with a towel, and sneeringly said, What, police officer, now you believe that I can afford a lawyer.
Good morning, Mr. Zhang, it's a great honor to meet you. The lawyer bowed respectfully with one hand on his chest.
Oh, you know me? Zhang Cheng raised his eyebrows in surprise.
No, I don't know, but I know your true identity. Polman stepped forward and whispered in Zhang Cheng's ear...
