Hughes didn't answer directly but instead looked at the traffic ahead and asked: "What do you think of Mr. Hagerty?"
Jimmy: "He seems pretty good, kind, very confident, and has a strong presence."
Hughes: "Yes, indeed very powerful. Without his help this time, it would be difficult for us."
Jimmy: "Countering Senator Pratt's influence?"
Hughes: "This matter is very troublesome. It's not just about solving a murder case; it also involves some political considerations. Peter is being framed, and he must be seen as framed."
Jimmy: "I understand. So what should we do now?"
Hughes: "Mr. Hagerty will help mediate. Senator Pratt's matters must not be leaked. In exchange, some things will become much easier. Just continue the investigation as usual and wait for the results from above. If there are no surprises, it should be resolved soon."
Jimmy nodded, understanding that a senator is a big deal. If such a scandal were uncovered, it would definitely affect the party's image.
