Chapter 1115 Test Going to Las Vegas
In the detention room of the 12th Precinct, a couple was talking to each other.
Amy and Greg were handcuffed to one end of a bench. The distance made it impossible for them to hug each other. They could only hold hands with difficulty, but they were still inseparable.
"I shouldn't have agreed to your stupid idea. Now you are going to lose your freedom because of me. We can't even see each other once a week."
The girl Amy's eyes were red and swollen. I don't know how long she had been crying before.
"Maybe your story will have a different ending." Beckett's voice came from outside the detention room, and Jack and Cassel appeared with her.
Cassel smiled and waved the key in his hand towards the two of them, opening the iron door of the detention room. "A love saint said that if someone is willing to sacrifice everything to rescue the person they love from prison, then it must be true love.
True love is hard to find in this world, not to mention that Greg has repeatedly insisted that you are innocent, so he dragged me to the court to find a friend to retrieve your file and the trial records at that time."
"Love saint is about yourself, and I prefer to use the word playboy to describe you.
What I said at the time was, what is the probability that an ordinary girl who has never had a criminal record and has a record of many minor collisions will become a pick-up driver for a robbery gang?"
Jack smiled and explained what he had done with Cassel this afternoon, "I asked Assistant Prosecutor Ms. Irene Reagan to look at your file. According to her, there are indeed many irregularities in this case."
In fact, because they were getting along privately at the time, Irene was very blunt and called a public defender a waste.
"Your lawyer overlooked the lack of a lot of key evidence, and even failed to exclude the eyewitness testimony provided by the obviously mentally ill homeless man.
So Assistant Attorney Irene Reagan is willing to retry your case, and she thinks there is a high possibility that you will be cleared of all charges."
Jack's words made the couple ecstatic, but because they were handcuffed to the two ends of the stool, Greg could only hold Amy's hand and kiss the back of her hand.
But the expression of surprise did not last for more than three seconds on the girl's face, and she started to worry again, "What about Greg?"
The crime of planning and assisting in jailbreak is not light, but fortunately, it is in the federal court, and everything can be negotiated.
Cassell smiled, "The kind assistant prosecutor said that from the perspective of maintaining justice, if Amy, you are found not guilty, she will negotiate with the judge and recommend that Greg be given a suspended sentence."
Of course, what he didn't say is that if Amy really wants to do this, she must sign some agreements, such as giving up certain compensation.
This is also a small test. Greg is sincere to the girl, but what about the other way around?
Three years of unwarranted imprisonment means a large amount of compensation. Whether Amy is willing to use this money and the corresponding silence in exchange for Greg's probation agreement is still an unknown question.
Everyone likes to see a fairy-tale ending, but reality is often not always as people wish. Jack gave Amy the power to write this ending, hoping that she would not let him down.
Of course, it is not just Jack who is working hard, Cassel also has a heart to send.
"It's a pity that the state police arrested you from Burger King when you were revisiting the beautiful moment of your first meeting, so before you leave the cell, use this to make do."
He showed the paper tray hidden behind him, took a step forward and placed it in the middle of the bench where the two were sitting. On it was a paper bag with the Burger King logo and two cups of Coke.
Beckett also smiled and stepped forward, took out the key to open the handcuffs of the two and changed them to a more comfortable position so that they could be closer, and did not forget to give them two pieces of chewing gum.
"I hope this is a happy ending, after Greg has done so much for her." Cassel was still a little worried after leaving the detention area, but his jumping thoughts soon turned to strange places.
"Jack, if you are going to be imprisoned, who would you choose to be imprisoned with you?"
"Clay, an elder you are not familiar with, some friends in California, anyway, it will definitely not be with you, because we can find a way to escape from prison soon, and you will only leak our plan because of your big mouth."
Jack shrugged and said the cold and ruthless facts.
"Wow, this is so sad. A fake prison trip made me see clearly the hypocrisy between friends." Cassel looked hurt.
"Don't worry, Cassel, I will get you out." The beautiful detective walked past the two of them quickly.
The great writer stood there in a daze, watching Beckett's graceful back as he walked towards the elevator.
What is this, an inadvertent confession? Jack stretched out his hand and rubbed the goose bumps on the back of his hand, feeling that he could still eat the melon of these two people for a long time.
"What are you waiting for? Didn't we agree to go to Las Vegas together?" Beckett turned around and smiled at the two of them.
——
The Las Vegas trip that was expected to be just a trip for three or two friends ended up being a temporary tour group of a considerable size.
In addition to Jubal, who took the initiative to stay behind to accompany his family, the rest of the wanted criminal team, Alexis and Cassel's mother Martha who loves to join in the fun, and Brian Mills and Kim who came specially from Los Angeles.
Brian is actually quite busy at work now. In addition to protecting Leila on a daily basis, his work focus has shifted to the newly established security company.
However, this time he accompanied his daughter Kim to visit Alexis, a friend who had suffered together in Paris, so he had to make time no matter how busy he was.
Because of the delay of the case, the two Korean visitors, Ma Xidao and Jiang Zhentai, who were the protagonists of this trip, had been waiting here for a day. Fortunately, they took a full week of vacation.
That night, two big winners were born in a casino in Las Vegas. The two Korean tourists won more than two million US dollars in chips on a blackjack table.
Cassel, who had never won money in a casino in Las Vegas, also followed Jack's suggestion and made a small profit.
The writer, in a good mood, treated everyone to a round of drinks in the bar attached to the casino and spent all the chips he won.
Perhaps because this was a team trip, there were no accidents, but there were not many places to play in Las Vegas. In addition to the casino, there was only food and drink.
Three days passed in a flash. After seeing off the two Korean policemen who had "gained a lot" on this trip, Jack was thinking about whether to go to Los Angeles for a stroll or go directly back to New York with his friends. A new case from the International Department came again.
