After all, Lake had some conflicts with a colleague in the Internal Affairs Department.
The last time an anonymous letter of complaint was received, everyone wanted to mobilize all forces to bring Lake down completely. Fortunately, Lake had a clean background and never accepted any bribes from his fellow criminals. This is why the Ministry of Internal Affairs was frustrated. If the boss hadn't spoken, they would probably have continued to pester him.
It's okay now.
This time, such a good opportunity has come.
Bai Jiahei is dead, so at most the civil lawsuit cannot be processed, but it can still be processed within the police station.
and.
Lake had a hunch that this time it was probably the boss who gave the order, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs would probably take tough action.
but...
There shouldn't be anything happening tonight.
Lake's revenge was immediate and decisive. Before the lawyer, who worked day and night, could even arrive at the court, the client was already dead.
I'm afraid the person behind the scenes is still wondering what exactly is going on. By the time the mastermind comes up with any follow-up plan, it will be tomorrow.
Star Building.
It was already past seven o'clock in the evening when Lake returned from the police station. After all, this whole incident had nothing to do with Lake.
Besides.
The killer in the hospital appeared in the surveillance video. The surveillance video in the intensive care unit was broken, but the surveillance video in the corridor was working properly.
So the killer's appearance was real.
After getting the surveillance photos, Beckett could tell at a glance that this was not Lake at all.
Lake also saw himself without glasses in the surveillance video. He thought the person in the video was himself, but not only Beckett, even Montgomery thought that this person was two different people.
Without a doubt.
[Rule-based props - gold-rimmed glasses! ]
In Lake's eyes, he is exactly the same person without and without glasses, but in the eyes of others, they are two different people.
It's amazing.
What?
Lake takes off his glasses when he sleeps?
hehe.
When Superman and his girlfriend were being naughty, didn't his girlfriend see Superman without his glasses and not suspect anything?
Lake was also very confused at first, and he specifically asked his girlfriend Maureen if she looked different when she didn't wear glasses. His girlfriend shook her head and said that she looked more handsome.
All right.
After being confused, Lake thought of Superman wearing glasses. After thinking about it, he guessed that this was also one of the hidden functions of the gold-rimmed glasses. After all, taking off the glasses when killing people was for disguise, and taking off the glasses when being naughty with his girlfriend was for happiness.
These gold-rimmed glasses should have their own set of judgment rules.
Return home.
Lecti opened the door with the pizza he bought downstairs and blinked at Maureen who was sitting at the bar.
Huh.
Didn't you break up?
Could it be that he came to my house to pick up his personal belongings that were left here?
Lake thought so in his heart, but when he looked at the sofa and floor in the living room, he didn't find any trace of storage boxes.
Is there no point?
What did it mean when he turned around and left without saying a word in Chief Montgomery's office that morning?
Lake blinked.
Change shoes.
Lake walked over and placed the packed pizza on the bar. Then he said to Maureen, who was playing with his phone that had automatically turned off due to loss of battery, "I thought you were gone. After all, you looked very angry when you left this morning."
Mo Lin looked up and then shook his head: "No, I'm just a little disappointed in you."
Then you might as well be angry.
Anger may even lead to breakup sex, and frankly speaking, the shame caused by anger is more exciting than the shame caused by any other emotion.
But disappointed?
The feeling of disappointment is the worst, and so is embarrassment.
For example.
If the angry Xiuxiu is like two people dancing in the crater of an erupting volcano, then the disappointed Xiuxiu gives people the feeling of directing and acting in front of a dead flounder.
The most annoying thing is the feeling of disappointment.
Lake thought so, shrugged, turned around and took his bourbon: "Really? Well, my bad."
Admit your mistakes when you know them.
But I will never change.
It has always been others who spoiled me, but there has never been a time when I spoiled others.
"Drink?"
"No."
Mo Lin waved his hand: "I have an appointment with a friend later."
This killer's appearance disrupted the rhythm immediately, and she had to find a way to remedy the situation.
Lake nodded, poured himself a cup, took a sip, and opened the pizza box: "So, you're not interested in this either?"
Maureen smiled, as if to say that you looked casual.
Lake took out a piece of pizza, drank some bourbon, and took a bite. It tasted pretty good, even though he hadn't eaten pizza for several days.
Morin tilted his head and looked at Lake: "So, this is why you knew it was a trap and still stepped on it?"
Lake blinked. "What?"
He naturally knew what Morin meant, but he would never admit it.
Mo Lin didn't dwell on this issue, but just smiled and said, "Then you should know that keeping these two people is better than killing them. If you keep them, at least the person hiding behind them will run out."
Even if Lake didn't say it, Morin was very sure that Baijiahei was not killed by Lake, but he was definitely related to Lake.
This is the confidence of a woman who graduated from the top psychology school Stanford University with a Ph.D. in psychology, and it is also the super accurate sixth sense of Lake's girlfriend.
Lake glanced at his girlfriend, who seemed to have already decided that she had something to do with this matter, and smiled. "I don't quite understand what you're saying. Besides, that's just how I am. Compromise isn't my style, even if it's just temporary. You know my personality. If I'm going to do something, I'll do it. I never back down!"
Mo Lin nodded. She knew Lake's character very well. "But you're not a coward anymore. The person hiding behind that can't be found."
Lake's mouth curled up: "Really?"
Maureen said, "Isn't it?"
Lake shrugged and didn't answer the question.
Without those two white and black ones, he has no other options?
Isn't that lawyer still alive?
While talking.
Boom boom boom!
Lake put the pizza down and walked towards the door.
"Mr. Edwin, your delivery!"
"Thanks."
Lake took out his wallet and handed a fifty-dollar bill to the guy who delivered packages all over New York City.
close the door.
Lake walked back to the bar and unpacked the express delivery in his hand.
Chi La.
A character investigation report appeared on the bar counter.
Open.
Jefferson Hall is a senior partner at the New York-based law firm of Tinico.
Following a photograph are some examples of every case that Jefferson Hall, a prominent lawyer, has handled during his legal career.
Morin frowned as he looked at the information in Lake's hand: "Where did you get this?"
Lake looked up and smiled: "Informant."
"Informant?"
Morin thought about the informants who had appeared in several of Lake's cases and smiled: "Your informant is very powerful. He can even open the FBI system database."
Lake's mouth curled up: "Have you forgotten the school I graduated from?"
Mo Lin: "…"
