In the days since Lynch began renovating the new house, the Michael law enforcement case took a turn.

It was not Lynch, nor Michael, nor Director Johnson, who stood up first, but his good partner.

This good partner has been with Michael for 12 to 13 years. He is also the deputy head of the investigation team of the Tax Bureau of Sabine City. In the eyes of many people, he has always been Michael's good brother. There is almost nothing between the two. Do not say.

No one thought that he would actually stand up first and confessed to the media some "details" that the media had not learned before.

In the description of the good partner, the conflict between Michael and Lynch stems from an accidental "collision" between the two.

"I was walking down the street with Michael and Lin... Lynch was walking down the sidewalk with a cart full of dirty clothes and Michael pointed at Lynch and said to me, 'Hey, look at that kid, let We'll fix him'."

The good partner put on a somber, regretful look in front of the camera, "I thought he was just joking, but he obviously came for the real thing and took me with no reason, no search warrant, no arrest. order and any legal paperwork, attacked Mr Lynch."

"He told me to search the cart to see if I could find the accusation against Mr. Lynch, and he took Mr. Lynch into the corner of the alley and beat him there..."

The reporters suddenly exclaimed, they could hardly imagine what kind of hatred could make an adult so cruel to a young man.

A reporter couldn't help but stood up, "Mr. Anonymous partner, did Michael and Lynch know each other before this, and are there any grudges?"

The good partner shook his head, "They don't know each other, I don't know if they have hatred for me, maybe Michael himself knows the reason...", and then he continued to describe Michael's "atrocities", which included threats to beat the masthead and hit the masthead. vomiting blood or something.

Things like this further reflect Michael's brutality and cruelty, and also make the media more inclined to Michael as a questionable investigator who has become accustomed to using violence to solve problems, even threatening ordinary, innocent people.

Later, Director Johnson also appeared in person and expressed his mistakes in his work. He always thought that Michael would change, so that he indulged Michael's whereabouts in disguise. He said that he would also take unshirkable responsibility for this matter.

For a while, no matter Michael's friends, his partners, his subordinates or people who knew him were interviewed by the media, the results of these interviews were mostly the same. Michael had serious violent tendencies, and his temper was also very impatient. irritable.

When the media even interviewed Michael's father, he was chased out by the old man with a double-barreled shotgun, and as a result, Michael's father and his family became a new trend of public opinion - "How Angry Can a Person Really Be?" .

People began to shift the question of whether the enforcement authority was excessive from the Michael law enforcement case, and began to look at Michael himself.

Many people asked his friends and colleagues why he didn't remind Michael that he had a bad temper earlier, and many even answered that they were afraid that Michael would beat them.

The quick turn around of public opinion made the IRS very satisfied. Now there are not a few members of Congress shouting stupid things like putting power in a cage. People are scolding Michael, which is good!

Less than a week after Lynch bought the house, Michael's case went to trial.

Lynch, the main and one of the known victims, needed to be present as a witness, and he might be of use.

This trial was not conducted in a public court hearing. The reason is that too many media applications may interfere with the court trial process and affect the order of the court. In fact, it is to ensure the correctness of the trial results.

The energy of the FBI and the IRS was enough to alarm the Department of Justice, which issued a closed-door trial request to the Sabine City Court a day ahead of schedule.

Because this is not a major criminal case, it can only be counted as an ordinary injury case, so there is no need for a jury, only the defendant, the defendant's defense attorney, and the judge himself.

The courtroom was very empty. Lynch sat in the gallery and looked at Michael, who had apparently been dressing up temporarily, with some interest. His pale face made him look a lot haggard, and his dull hair also made him look embarrassed.

The judge asked more than a dozen questions in a row, and he answered most of the questions, except for a few, which Michael refused to answer, and pleaded guilty.

The court handed down the sentence and sentenced him to eighty-seven months, or seven years and three months.

Considering that Michael used to be a law enforcement officer in Sabine City, he also personally sent some people to prison, and for his personal safety, his sentence will be spent in a more strict state prison in another state. .

Although Michael was a little surprised by this sentence, he did not file an appeal, and the judge did not limit his commutation clause when he pronounced the sentence. In other words, his real time in prison would not be as long as seven years.

According to federal laws and regulations, he can reduce his sentence to less than three years in various ways, and then the Federal Taxation Bureau uses the "Special Talents Requisition Act" as an excuse to "requisition" Michael directly, and then find a place to arrange it. be free.

The entire sentence is actually less than three years, which is also the result of Director Johnson and his assurance, so Michael will not put forward the idea of ​​appealing, there is no need for this.

Once the appeal will be tried in the state court, the situation may be worse. The federal judges are very idealistic in the process of sentencing. If they feel that Michael's appeal behavior is that kind of uncontrollable irritability, it is against the court and the law. Provocation may increase the sentence and limit the reduction of the sentence.

The matter is over at this point. After the verdict was pronounced, the media immediately got the result of the trial, and then the whole federation knew the result within a day. After a short period of group justice, people began to devote themselves to new topics.

A turmoil disappeared from people's sight, and everyone seemed to be happy.

Commissioner Johnson was praised by the state office. Michael's partner, the deputy head of the tax bureau's investigation team, was turned into a regular. The team members have changed, and those behind the scenes have also died contentedly. The public is watching a big show. Then exited satisfied.

Everyone left contented, which was hilarious.

"Mr. Lynch!"

Just after getting rid of the fearless entanglement of reporters, he walked about 100 meters or so, and two children with dirty caps stopped in front of him. He knew one of them and once exchanged 97 cents for one dollar. The child, a newsboy.

Lynch casually put his hand into his trousers pocket. There was a pen in the pocket. He pushed off the cap with his fingers. Once a guy said "the pen is like a knife" while killing a guy. He is not sure if he has it or not. So fierce, but at least it gave him a little confidence.

He watched the children stab the masthead that night, and the hidden fangs of these children were more startling than they showed.

"Is something wrong?", with a smile on Lynch's face, he always smiles, just like the weather is always so good and the sun is always so bright.

The two teenagers looked at each other, and one of them patted the backpack, "Sir, I have a lot of change here, do you still need it?"

After the death of the masthead, the children were temporarily relieved, but only temporarily, because the situation changed quickly.

They need to pay their own families or welfare institutions to hire these children on time, and they also need to manage some social relations.

They can take back the remuneration for the welfare institutions and their families, but they can’t do anything about those relationships in the society, which makes them unable to get newspapers, and the newspapers refuse to distribute newspapers to these minors.

At the same time, there are also some problems at the waste recycling station. They have been keeping prices down. Originally, they could sell waste products for twenty or thirty yuan or more every day, but now they can only sell them for a few yuan or ten yuan.

If they argue a few words, the waste station refuses to recycle, which makes the children start to panic. If they can't solve the current predicament, they will soon be sent to others by their guardians. They need a way out now.
