Chapter 1,616 Murder

New York, West Midtown.

Mary and Parr had just returned. If Li Zitao hadn't insisted that it was more convenient in New York, they would have insisted on spending Christmas in Los Angeles.

Especially Pearl, she couldn't bear to leave the good friend she had just made.

"What's the name of that child?" Li Zitao forgot the name of the child again, who was his daughter's best friend.

"Lyle, his name is Lyle." Mary smiled helplessly; "Do you need me to introduce him again?"

"Of course." Li Zitao didn't mind at all. He liked listening to his wife talk.

While they were away, Li Zitao had had enough of the emptiness and indifference of this apartment.

Even though he himself wasn't here most of the time, it was definitely a stupid decision to stay alone in the apartment, a terrible decision.

"Lyle lives with his father on the jetty. He likes the accordion, painting and sports. He is a very smart and lovely child."

Looking at her unhappy daughter sitting on the sofa, Mary whispered in a funny voice, "He is very handsome."

"Who?" Li Zitao looked up in confusion, and when he saw his wife's angry expression, he suddenly smiled and said, "Just a joke."

"How old is he?"

"Like Pearl, they were so in tune when they were together."

"How to say?"

After Mary hesitated and thought for a few seconds, she said seriously: "If they stay at their current age, I will suggest them to get married."

"Mom." Pearl leaned over the back of the sofa at some point, "Are you talking about me and Lyle?"

"No." Mary denied immediately, saying very firmly that she had not said that.

"But I heard it." Little Pearl expressed doubt.

"You heard wrong." Mary defended again.

Little Pearl pursed her lips, turned around and ran off the sofa into the hallway. She was going back to her room to meet her friends when Riley called.

"I feel like I haven't been very lucky lately, and I can get caught in this kind of joke." Mary said with a hint of complaint in her tone.

Li Zitao looked at her while holding back a smile and said, "Are you serious? Are you serious?"

If even they have countless complaints and cannot detect happiness, there will never be anything in this world that can make people fall in love.

Ringing~

The phone always rings, and sometimes people are glad it does.

But most of the time, like Li Zitao who answered the phone, he felt unhappy about having his family time interrupted.

"Is this Mr. Bran?" came an unfamiliar voice from the other side.

"Yes, I am." Li Zitao did not forget that he had to play two roles, although most of the time, the role of 'Bran' did not need to appear in person.

"This is the Cook County Sheriff's Department. What is your relationship with Aiden Brann?"

Hearing the other party mention Aiden, Li Zitao couldn't help but feel excited: "I am his father."

"I'm sorry to inform you that your son is about to face prosecution."

The other party's wording is getting weirder and weirder. Sue? Aiden?

Li Zitao couldn't figure out the reason, so he hoped that the other party would tell him directly: "What crime?"

"murder."

…

"How could it be murder? Who did he murder?" In the Cook County Deputy Prosecutor's Office, Li Zitao and Mary were standing in front of the table with their daughter.

They just want to know how it happened and who did Aiden murder?

He clearly said he wanted to drive back together, and he thought about what would happen, such as kissing, showing off his spot on second base, or having sex.

But he never expected that just a dozen hours later, he would receive the message again: Did your son kill someone while traveling?

"A dancer at a midnight carnival party, I heard from Aiden that they planned to go back to New York and spend Christmas together." The deputy prosecutor said very friendly.

"Yes, because he broke the law." The other party looked at Huang Baipei in front of him, full of confusion, trying to figure out what was going on?

Even in Hollywood, a place of chaos, corruption, and madness, I have never heard that such a bad situation is real.

"I need to make sure that a lawyer will be present at all of Aiden's conversations." Li Zitao came in such a hurry, he and Mary didn't expect this to happen at all.

"Of course." The other party nodded, put the photo back on the table, and led them to meet Aiden, Mason and Frances in the detention room.

"Why are you here too?" If Li Zitao remembered correctly, the only person mentioned by the other party to be prosecuted was Aiden.

"Attack the police!" Mason and Frances said in unison. Afterwards, they looked at each other and laughed. These things are really crazy and funny.

When Aiden was arrested, Mason and Frances believed that he was being treated unfairly and went to argue but were pushed away by the police.

The two started arguing with the police and were eventually brought back here on charges of "assaulting a police officer."

"Did you do it?" Mary's face was filled with nervousness, her heart already in her throat.

She was not worried about what was happening now, but was worried about what had happened before. If someone pulled out a gun during their resistance...

She didn't want to think about it anymore, it was too scary, it would become her nightmare every night.

"Of course not." Mason looked at her as he should and said, "If there were, would we still be standing here intact?"

You must know that the law enforcement in these small towns is very rough. If they had the intention of attacking the police, they would not be sitting in the detention room now.

Instead, they lie in hospitals or morgues with holes in their bodies, waiting to be claimed by their families.

After hearing his answer, Mary let out the breath she was holding in her chest, and her tense nerves gradually relaxed.

"Do something to get them out of here first. They look too haggard." Mary touched Li Zitao's shoulder and said.

"No problem, I'll make a call." Li Zitao also planned this. No matter what happened, the first thing they needed was to rest.

From the bottom of his heart, he absolutely did not believe that Aiden would kill someone, let alone the other random accusations.

These were mentioned "casually" by the assistant prosecutor during his visit to the detention room.

It seemed like a casual chat, but from Li Zitao's point of view, it was a complete threat to them, 'Your son is in big trouble. Now, you should consider how to solve this matter for him. ’

Li Zitao, who was dialing at this time, wanted to solve this matter and find out what the problem was.

Mary, who was left behind, was talking to the three children, asking them what happened and whether there were any violations when the police enforced the law.

She got more feedback than she expected, and she also heard Aiden's own answer: "I didn't do it. I just wanted to go up and help, but she was already dead."

"In fact, no one saw what was going on, and the police arrested us purely because of prejudice and self-subjectivity."

Aiden could definitely say that if they were not the only three unfamiliar faces at the scene, it must be someone else who was imprisoned now.
