Chapter 147 Chapter 147

Hugo has been reminiscing about the things between his predecessor and Tracy in his mind, trying to describe the truth at the beginning, but unfortunately there is still no idea, and the movie title of the goddess holding the torch high in Columbus Graduate Films has already been cut into it, So Hugo had to focus on the big screen.

The experience of filming "The Heroes of the Sea of ​​Righteousness" is a kind of enjoyment for Hugo. The breakthrough in acting skills is the biggest gain, and Hugo is also very curious. The breakthrough he feels is presented on the big screen. What kind of effect will be - is it an illusion or is it real.

At the beginning of the movie, the case of the dark moon and the high night attracted everyone's attention. Two soldiers broke into a room, gagged the other soldier with a rag, and then tied it up, obviously with bad intentions. . In the terrified eyes of the victim soldier, the movie opened.

Washington, D.C., Office of the Attorney General, Major Joanne Galloway, uniformed, reports a criminal case in Cuba to the commander, Brig. Corporal Harold Dawson and Private First Class Loudon Dorney enter a Waiting for soldier William Santiago's barracks and beating him. An hour later, Santiago died at the base hospital. After an investigation, investigators believe that Dawson and Dorney were trying to prevent San Diego from reporting that Sen was fired illegally on the line, and the hearing will be held soon.

In such a seemingly unquestionable case, Major Galloway suspected that it was a "red statute", so she asked to assign a lawyer to the case, and she volunteered to be Dawson and Dorney's defense attorney . It's a pity that the superior thinks that Major Galloway would be a good investigator, but not a lawyer. So, the division assigned a lawyer to this case: Daniel Kaffey.

Kaffey -- that's when Hugo showed up on the big screen, wearing a baseball uniform and a baseball cap, doing baseball hitting and catching practice. While arguing with defense attorneys, Baseball easily fought for the best interests of his defendant, reducing the sentence from thirty days in prison to fifteen days.

Although Kaffey is a very good lawyer, he has successfully handled forty-four cases in nine months of serving in the Navy, but his work attitude is obviously unsatisfactory. Joined the Navy, was not only late for meetings but never brought a pen, ate apples when meeting superiors, was more enthusiastic about baseball than lawsuits, maybe he has quick thinking and excellent eloquence, is a good lawyer, but not a competent person lawyer.

Kaffey has only been to court once for having his driver's license revoked. In his view, if a case needs to go to court, they need not a lawyer but a pastor. In his view, a lawyer's job is not to deliver justice, but to serve the client. The least price to settle things before going to court. As Kaffey's assistant, Sam Weinberg is in charge of "copywriting work". He does not want to take any responsibility, but only provides basic assistance to Kaffey.

Kaffey just listened to Galloway's description of the case. Santiago, who had been performing very badly in the military, believed that he had a serious physical illness. He wrote letters to various departments to ask for help in order to be transferred from the base, but it was a pity that the sea was lost, and finally Santiago wrote to the Navy The investigation said he could trade evidence that Dawson fired illegally abroad in exchange for his right to be transferred.

Knowing all this, Caffey made a judgment that he believed that the case was very likely to expose the disgrace of Guantanamo, and also embarrass the security members including Colonel Nathan Jessup, So it came to the conclusion, "I will fight for conspiracy and misconduct with a 12-year sentence."

In Kaffey's opinion, this is the best choice for Dawson and Dhoni, but his attitude makes Galloway very dissatisfied, even, the defendant has arrived in Washington, and Kaffey is still practicing baseball , This completely angered Galloway. She once had the idea of ​​submitting to the division to change lawyers, because she firmly believed that Dawson and Dorney were innocent, and she hoped that a lawyer could stand up and restore their innocence, but obviously Kaffey Not the best choice.

Galloway believed that Dawson and Donnie had no motive for committing the crime, and that the cause of death in Santiago was tricky. Within two hours of Santiago's death, the forensic doctor could not determine the cause of death, but after another two hours, the forensic doctor believed that Santiago was the cause of death. Died of poisoning. Galloway suspects this is a red statute case, and the funny thing is, Kaffey doesn't know what a red statute is.

The incident went back to the moment when Santiago wrote to the Naval Investigation Service, which was naturally known to the military officers, and Colonel Jessup was furious about it, because in his opinion, Santiago was not only an incompetent Navy, but also He also betrayed his own teammates, jumped the ranks to report teammates to the superior, and tried to expose disgraceful events within their army. In an army where obedience to orders is the number one rule, this is unforgivable.

In response to this matter, the three officers had a dispute. Lieutenant Colonel Mackinson advocated that Santiago should be transferred from the base, not only because Santiago's request should be responded to, but also once Santiago's betrayal of teammates leaked out, the military colleagues will not forgive his.

But Colonel Jessup and Lieutenant Kendrick don't think so. Jessup thinks that moving Santiago away is a cowardly act of avoiding problems. He feels that the training of Santiago should be increased to meet military standards. In order to achieve the purpose of protecting the country, this is a necessary means. And Lieutenant Kendrick is a loyal supporter of the colonel.

On the other hand, Dawson and Duny arrived in Washington, and apparently, neither of the soldiers understood the seriousness of the matter, and Duny even admired his arrival in the capital with excited eyes. They don't know where they are, or even why they were arrested, thinking it's all just following orders.

After Kai Fei arrived in the interrogation room, he was very uncomfortable seeing the two soldiers who followed the order meticulously, but he still patiently asked his own question, "What is the red law?"

"It's a discipline," Dawson replied without looking sideways. "If a Marine is left behind, you can use this to help them keep up with the team."

"What exactly are the red regulations?" Keffi still didn't quite understand the internal affairs of the army. "Explain clearly what the red regulations mean."

"Sir," Dawson insisted, even though Kaffey had emphasized three times not to call him a commander. "For example, if a team member refuses to take a bath as prescribed, the teammates will give him a military bath—with a brush, a wire brush."

"Is Santiago also accepting red regulations?" Keffi asked.

"Yes, sir," Dawson replied affirmatively.

Kaffey then asked Duny for some details. Duny didn't apply any poison or medicine on the rag. They just planned to shave Santiago's head, but suddenly Santiago began to bleed from his mouth, so they called an ambulance, Too bad no one saw them calling and when the ambulance came, they had already been arrested.

When questioned by Weinberg, Dawson admitted to shooting at the Cuban border on August 2 because he saw suspicious activity at his Cuban post. The reason why he will enforce the red regulations against Santiago is not because Santiago wants to report him, but because of Santiago's leapfrog action, he left his team, and if there is a problem, he should report to his superior first, and then go up layer by layer. Walk. He enforced the red code simply to educate San Diego to think collectively and respect order before acting.

"Team, Army, God, Country." That's the order of the Marines.

Prosecution attorney Jack Ross, an old friend of Kaffey's, offered the prosecution's condition that if they plead guilty, they could only be sentenced to 20 years in prison. But Kaffey didn't accept it. He only accepted twelve years in prison. Both Kaffey and Weinberg found Dawson and Duny guilty, and just tried to reduce their sentences. Weinberg even thought that the two were guilty. Soldiers should spend the rest of their lives in prison.

When Kaffee mentioned the red rule to Ross, Ross first recognized the "twelve-year" sentence, and then reminded his friend, "Lieutenant Jonathan Kendrick called his men and specifically asked not to touch San Diego." Although Ross had agreed to Kefei's punishment, Kefei was reluctant to nod his head immediately. He realized that there seemed to be a hidden secret here, and the situation was not right, so Kefei decided to go to Guantanamo and come back to make a decision.

At the same time, Galloway was authorized by Aunt Donnie to become Donny's agent, and joined Kaffey and Weinberg to go to Guantanamo, Cuba.

Considering how hot Cuba is, and to avoid the heat absorbed by dark clothes, Weinberg suggested Kefi, who went to Guantanamo in white uniforms. But I didn't want to get off the plane, and I got the advice of the soldiers. It's better to wear camouflage here, because the officers in white uniforms in Cuba will think they are important people, and it is easy to make them targets.

Such a lack of common sense was naturally disdainful in Colonel Jessup's eyes. The official meeting between Kafi and Jessup seemed a little gunpowder. Jessup knew Kaffey's father, and he said to Lieutenant Kendrick, "His father offended a lot of people in your hometown, Jefferson had a lawsuit with the Madison area school, and the locals objected to a black girl going to a white school. Going to school, Lionel-Keffy said, 'We'll wait and see'." Listening to Jessup's tone, it was obvious that he despised the behavior of Kafei's father, and felt that the other party was just hungry and had nothing to do.

Under the leadership of Lieutenant Kendrick, Kaffey and others inspected the scene of the crime in detail, and once again learned about the timeline of the development of the incident, and learned about Kendrick's "No Touching San Diego" meeting. Experienced Kendrick's contempt for San Diego's death.

In addition, Kaffi also unexpectedly learned that Jessup had signed a transfer order from San Diego and left the base on the first flight to the United States at 6:00 a.m. the next day. Unfortunately, San Diego could not wait until the next day. of the sun.

But Galloway is clinging to the red regulations, because Jessup received a memo from the commander-in-chief in February this year prohibiting Jessup from continuing to use the red regulations, which apparently angered Jessup, "I eat Three hundred yards away at breakfast, there are four thousand well-trained Cubans trying to kill me, so don't think you can come here to show off!" He gave Galloway a slap in the face, making Galloway dumb. Speechless, almost speechless.

Before leaving, Kaffee asked Jessup for a copy of the transfer order, which angered Jessup again, "You know what? Danny, I can handle all the bullets, I don't need money, I don't need medals, All I want is you standing there in that sissy white uniform and giving me a little goddamn respect with your Harvard-trained mouth. You have to ask me politely!"

Kafi was a little puzzled, but politely opened his mouth again and made his request, and this time he got a positive answer from Jessup.
