Chapter 1626: Innate Disguise

"Have they found a place?" In the guest room, Mahathir, who had not slept all night, was in high spirits.

Van Gaal's new office address was found, and he wanted the other party to pay a price. "Any case she takes over, no matter what the price, I will keep an eye on her."

"In addition, select suitable personnel from the backup files, see if anyone in the District Attorney's Office wants to change jobs, and recruit them all."

Mahathir is currently very short of people. He told Saliyev on the phone last night that if anyone in the Blue and White Legal Department wants to change his environment, he is always welcome to come to New York.

Hearing the noise outside the door, Mahathir put down the phone, washed his face and walked out. Today he will go to the bail court with his boss to ensure that Aiden is released smoothly.

After breakfast, the group went to the police station. After completing the formalities, they met their old acquaintance from last night, Peter Box.

"The New York District Attorney does not agree to his bail. He is the first suspect in the murder case and should be locked up in the police station." Peter Box stated the prosecutor's opinion in court.

"My client does not have any criminal record, has a clean background, and has a special status. He is not safe in the police station. I hope the court can grant him bail."

Mahathir's point of view was simple, while the judge was immersed in reading the information about Eden.

Soon the judge had an idea: "I agree with you, but since the charges are too serious, I will increase the bail amount...the bail amount is $150,000."

"Your Honor." Peter Box looked at him unwillingly.

"Lawyer, this is my court, don't make me say it a second time." After the judge raised his gavel and knocked, he closed the file and said, "Next one."

US$150,000 is a lot of money, but it is nothing to Li Zitao.

After paying the full amount, they can leave. Aiden cannot leave New York before the case is heard, otherwise his bail will be cancelled.

"You must be very proud now." Peter Box said sarcastically as he walked out of the office, "Don't think you can escape like this. Not everything can be solved with money."

Aiden shrugged, not bothering to pay attention to him, turned around and walked out.

"Peter!" Looking at Peter Box, who looked like a messenger of justice, Li Zitao said mockingly: "Stop pretending to be righteous, you know what you are doing."

"I am delivering justice and punishing evil." Peter Box said harshly.

After smiling at each other and Mahathir, Li Zitao did not intend to continue talking, because you can never wake up someone who is pretending to sleep.

Since he wants to stand on the moral high ground and demonstrate his justice, I hope he won't fall badly when he falls.

"Boss, today's newspaper." After closing the car door, Ava put the newspaper she had just bought from the roadside newsstand in front of him.

The D.C. Tribune published photos of the confrontation between the police and bodyguards in front of Lee’s apartment and the police on the front page. The enlarged black and white photo clearly shows the uniforms of the police.

"Is this the only one?" Li Zitao breathed a sigh of relief when he learned that there was no photo of a confrontation with a gun drawn; "Tell them to ignore it..."

"How is the France scandal handled?"

“The heat is dissipating because of the lack of coverage.”

"Intensify the coverage, bring the public's attention back to this matter, and tell Crowa that their new governor can be ready to be sworn in."

Li Zitao originally wanted to suppress this scandal for Francis, but he changed his mind.

Even if this scandal is suppressed and he is allowed to remain as governor, France is already a damaged product.

No matter who stands up in the next election, he will be removed from his position, and the sponsors behind him will also transfer funds to new products.

so,

It is better to expand the publicity of this scandal and let it cover up the news about Eden, giving Mahathir enough time to solve the matter.

"I will apply to speed up the trial. The police's evidence is not sufficient. It seems to me that they are more like they can't find the murderer and are eager to pin this matter on Aiden."

"Do you need help?" Li Zitao pointed at Wang Kui and said, "I can ask Wang to send people to search for evidence."

"We have our own investigators, and they are very professional." Mahathir said confidently.

"Don't wait too long, he still has to report to school." He didn't want to waste time on this matter, let alone ruin his son's vacation because of it.

"Is this okay?" Aiden thought that bail would take a long time, but he didn't expect it to be over in 2 hours. He didn't make any plans at all today.

"You can take Ariel around." Li Zitao wanted to give them more time to get to know each other.

"No problem, I can take her to the museum, and can we go to a bar for a few hours in the evening?"

After finally returning to New York, Aiden missed his old life a little.

Although it was good when I was at Duke, it was too deserted there, and every day was like a copy of the day before.

There is no one on the street at six o'clock. The shops open at 1 o'clock in the afternoon, only open for three hours, and close at 4 o'clock in the afternoon.

There's only one bar in the entire town, which plays sleepy jazz and serves terrible home-brew beer and french fries.

Every time they decide to make a purchase, they have to drive two hours to the supermarket in the next town to buy the products they want.

If he wasn't busy with studies every day and had a lawn and a swimming pool at home, Aiden suspected that he would only be able to pass the time by practicing religion.

"Pay attention to safety." Li Zitao agreed.

Aiden has grown up and Ariel lives in Vegas, where daily life is much more exciting than the bar.

The two changed cars, closed the door, and Aiden said to the driver; "Go to Fifth Avenue."

"Brother Aiden, don't we go to the museum?" Ariel said timidly.

"You don't need to be like this in front of me. I prefer your usual behavior." Aiden looked at her and said; "After all, mother is not here."

Ariel's expression froze, then the timidity and shyness on his face disappeared, and he flipped his hair calmly and said, "What's on Fifth Avenue?"

"That's it." Aiden looked at her and smiled: "You must have been working hard at home these days!"

"I just want to leave a good impression." Ariel smiled lightly and said, "What do you think of my performance?"

"Mom has a good impression of you. Your plan worked." Aiden opened the small refrigerator, picked a bottle of wine and poured her a glass.

"What about you?" Ariel took the drink and looked at him, as if she cared more about his opinion.

Aiden looked out the window and said; "You got what you wanted... I hope we get along well."

"Is this considered an alliance?" Ariel asked funnyly.

Aiden looked at her and said; "Whatever you think, you have to call me brother no matter what."

"Well, Brother Aiden, do you have any gifts for your sister?" Ariel blinked her big eyes and looked at him innocently.

Aiden was not impressed by her innocent look. Among the women he knew, there was no one more cunning than Ariel.

And her age and innocent appearance are the perfect disguises for what she was born with.
