Transaction.
Buying and selling.
Throughout the entire Blue Star, the U.S. is the only country that openly and blatantly puts transactions on the table. If the U.S. dares to claim second, no other country would dare to claim first.
After all, even a President can be obtained through a transaction.
Criminals are the same.
For example, if a criminal wants to reduce their sentence or be acquitted, they can make a deal with the District Attorney's Office. As long as the items or people involved in the transaction are significant enough, the District Attorney's Office will complete the deal.
And once it goes to court, a typical judge will not break such an openly blatant rule.
But…
Arthur Stacy is not a typical prosecutor.
Since he became a prosecutor at the District Attorney's Office, he has never made any deals with criminals, even when Alex Wylanck offered him information about Kingpin's crimes this time, he did not agree.
Just one sentence.
It doesn't matter whether Kingpin can be caught, but Arthur Stacy not only will, but dares to prosecute you and sentence you to three hundred and fifty years in prison.
This is also why Alex Wylanck had people pay for his life.
And what was bought was the lives of Arthur Stacy's entire family, including George Stacy and his daughter.
The purpose…
Undoubtedly.
Since the seller doesn't intend to sell what he wants, he will resort to forced buying and selling.
Meanwhile, in the interrogation room.
Born in Paris, with a white complexion tinged with a strange green, dressed in a suit, looking presentable, Alex Wylanck, with his arms crossed, saw Arthur Stacy and George Stacy walk in from outside, and his mouth immediately split into what he thought was a brilliant smile.
"Good morning, Detective Stacy, Prosecutor Stacy."
Alex Wylanck's tone was very relaxed, as if he had turned the interrogation room into his home ground. He spread his eyes and looked at the two people who came in: "I told you, we would meet soon."
Arthur Stacy watched Alex Wylanck's bright smile with a gloomy expression.
"Despicable! Shameless!"
"Thank you."
"…"
Alex Wylanck took Arthur Stacy's anger as a compliment and said with a smile: "No choice, Prosecutor Stacy, I have never failed to get what I want."
He wanted to walk out of here.
Openly and honestly!
Arthur Stacy wished he could just punch him.
But…
George Stacy held Arthur back. After Arthur sat down, he then sat down himself, took a deep breath, and looked at Alex Wylanck, who made no attempt to hide his arrogant and overbearing nature, and said in a cold tone: "What do you want?"
Alex Wylanck looked at George.
"A transaction!"
"That's impossible!"
Before George could speak, Arthur Stacy couldn't sit still again and directly looked coldly at Alex Wylanck: "Don't think that doing this will scare me. I never make deals with criminals, let alone a suspect like you."
Alex Wylanck looked up at Arthur Stacy, who had stood up and slammed the table, and continued his bright smile: "That doesn't matter. I'll just wait for the next prosecutor, Prosecutor Stacy. I'm not in a hurry. You are the ones who need to be in a hurry. Guess, will you go before me, or will I go before you?"
"You…"
"Enough."
George, who was beside him, stood up and once again pushed the angry but useless Arthur back into his chair. If anger could solve problems, he would have been angry long ago, and it wouldn't have been Arthur's turn.
George is not an assassin, but he has killed assassins, and quite a few of them.
George also has some understanding of the assassin world in the dark. As long as the bounty for an assassin is there, those assassins will follow one after another like hungry wolves until they gnaw on your bone.
So…
After George once again calmed Arthur, he looked at the triumphant Alex Wylanck: "What kind of transaction do you want?"
Alex glanced at George, then said to Arthur: "You and your brother should switch places. He is the most suitable candidate for prosecutor."
George was expressionless and ignored Alex Wylanck's sarcasm.
"Just say it directly."
"Simple, let me out."
"Simple?"
"Of course."
Alex Wylanck, with his arms crossed, looked at George and stated the chips he could offer: "In return, I guarantee that you and your brother, and your families, will no longer live in fear. Moreover, my original condition will not change. As long as you let me out, I will also tell you everything I know about the transactions Kingpin made. How about it?"
George showed no reaction.
Arthur Stacy, on the other hand, watched Alex Wylanck with a cold expression: "Mr. Veranke, with that statement, are you admitting to the fact that you hired someone to attempt murder?"
Alex Wylanck looked innocently at Arthur: "Did I? What did I say? I just said that as long as you agree to this transaction, it will be good for me, good for you, good for everyone. What hiring someone? God, Prosecutor Stacy, are you trying to elicit a confession?"
He was arrogant, but he wasn't stupid.
After Alex Wylanck finished speaking, he directly looked at George: "How about it, Detective Stacy, are you satisfied with the terms of this transaction?"
He had figured out that this Arthur Stacy was unyielding.
Fortunately!
When I placed the order, I already thought of this guy's temper, so I specifically ordered his brother and his brother's daughter as well.
I'm so smart.
Alex Wylanck thought to himself.
Indeed.
George didn't finish speaking, he just took out his phone from his pocket and threw it to Alex Wylanck: "Okay, call and cancel it."
Arthur Stacy, who was beside him, stared wide-eyed at George.
"Geo…"
"You want to die, I don't want to die. Are you planning to have the police station colleagues protect Jill and Gwen from now on?"
George yelled at Arthur impatiently, then looked at Alex Wylanck: "First complete the first part of your transaction, and then we'll discuss the details of the second part of the transaction."
Alex Wylanck immediately laughed.
"Officer Stacy, do I look stupid to you?"
"No, you are very arrogant."
"Then why do you think I would do this when I can't see anything…"
"A transaction can be canceled once and then done again. If we change our minds, you can always continue, can't you?"
"…"
Alex Wylanck looked up at the expressionless George.
The next second.
He burst into laughter.
Alex Wylanck grabbed the phone directly and started dialing.
But…
Alex Wylanck didn't consider one problem.
Forced buying and selling also depends on the person.
