Chapter 345
"Don't be nervous, like this, go to my record company first, calm down, and then we can find a way for Old Joe, okay?"
Song Ya stabilized Eric and dialed Al's phone, "Al, you go to the company right now, Eric will be there later, you watch him, don't let him run around, let alone let him Gossiping all over the place."
"What happened?" Al was still asleep.
"You go first, right away! I'll let Old Mike go too, and he will explain to you." Song Ya hung up the phone.
"Mike!"
Song Ya went to wake up the old Mike, and briefly explained the news and the arrest of the old Joe, "You go and take Tony and Big A to the company, and help Al watch over them. Al may not be able to forgive, You come to be the bad guy, just say I mean it, but let them not bother me for a while."
At this point in time, including Al, several people with gd background around him must be placed under his sight.
"I know, don't go anywhere without me." Old Mike quickly packed up and set off.
It has been almost three years since time travel, Song Ya carefully recalled that he had lied a few words during the interrogation by the FBI agents, which would be regarded as a crime of perjury if he was seriously investigated, but because he did not lie during the court trial or formal trial procedure , At most, it is enough for a Class A misdemeanor, and the maximum sentence is one year in prison, but in general, it is fined, and there is no major problem.
Others may be a bit slack in the tax declaration of the cash income from the hole, but I have been very careful, and it is difficult to find out that small problem.
The bribery of small and medium-sized DJs may violate the laws related to commercial bribery, because many of those DJs are employees of their respective broadcasting companies, but this is an unspoken rule in the industry, and almost no individuals or companies have been prosecuted for this crime.
All that's left is old Mike throwing Frank, the bum, to Canada, and old Mike firing a few warning shots at Little Lowry from afar.
As long as old Mike has no problems with these two things, Frank has been 'educated' by Vic to be very good.
Oh, by the way, there is also the bribe Vic, his kind of black policeman is very smart, and he will not bite people unless he is cornered.
As for power-money transactions, things like this in the United States are generous. For example, going to Capitol Hill to ask Underwood for help in the acquisition of the Warren Brothers Synthesizer Company is not illegal at all. Privately, for example, Underwood arranged for Doug to let him go to the First Bank of New Jersey for a loan to obtain the support of local congressmen.
It's still a gray area though.
After calculating carefully in circles in the study, I felt a little more settled. The police action on the TV was still going on. According to Peter, the entire joint operation would last for a week, or even longer.
The results of the general election were announced in early November, and Song Ya reckoned that it was impossible for them to continue performing beyond that point in time.
"us."
"boss."
The subordinates began to arrive one after another, "Goodman, go and ask where Old Joe is being held, what charges he was arrested on, and whether he can be released on bail. It's best to find a way to meet him, and see if you can just represent him case."
"OK."
Goodman put on the coat he had just taken off and left.
"There are no reporters outside..."
Hayden opened the curtain and looked out, "Old Qiao's music accident, I thought there would be many people coming here."
"They're all going to interview big events."
Hamlin pointed to the TV, "On the way I came, the broadcast said that seven thousand people were expected to be arrested."
"Seven thousand!?"
Song Ya was shocked, this is to uproot the Nancheng gang! "Can the prison hold so many people?"
"The prison can accommodate it, and at worst, it will be transferred to another state for detention, but the judicial unit must not be able to bear it."
Hamlin laughed.
Lawyers in the United States are expensive, and judges earn a lot. Prosecutors earn relatively low salaries but are considered good among civil servants. The judicial process composed of these elites must be very expensive to operate. After a complete set of trial procedures for the poor in the Nancheng public housing area, plus the possibility of legal aid, the government will definitely lose money. In the trial, the average sentence of death sentence will cost taxpayers millions of dollars. How much tax does a middle class in the United States pay in a lifetime? So it is definitely unrealistic to catch seven thousand people at once.
"Eli?"
The political star of this joint operation, Peter Flock, appeared on the TV screen to report the progress of the operation. Behind him stood Song Ya's crisis publicist, and the Jewish Eli, who was always dressed so tastefully, was unexpected and reasonable, after all. Eli was also Peter's campaign manager.
"Why is Peter so active?" Song Ya asked, "His state attorney has just been re-elected not long ago."
"There's a saying that he's eyeing the governorship of Illinois," Hamlin replied.
"This joint operation has given him a lot of points, and he is now the brightest political star in this state."
Yeremov, who is also Jewish, sneered, "Did you know? That's what I like to live in the city. No matter how loud the noise is, no matter how high the income of the ethnic group is, as long as the state machinery is activated, arresting you is like being in a sheep pen." It's as easy as catching sheep."
He was referring to the treatment of Jews during World War II, but at that time Europeans did not allow Jews to own land. They had no choice but to live in cities, which was very different from the current situation of black people.
"Is it live broadcast now?"
Song Ya had no intention of being diverted from the topic by him. After receiving an affirmative answer, she suddenly had a mischievous thought in her mind, "Call Eli, now."
The phone was connected, and a hand appeared in the corner of the screen, pulling Eli away from the camera.
"Hahaha..." Everyone present laughed.
"Eli, I need you." Song Ya said to the hands-free landline.
"Uh, I'm busy now, how about two days?" Eli said in a low voice.
"Right now, I'm in trouble. According to the contract, you must serve me, otherwise I will fire you." Song Ya threatened falsely.
"Don't be like this, I really can't separate myself now, or at night, I will go to your place at night?"
"Right now."
"I really can't leave now, you see, I..."
Eli's begging was interrupted by laughter from Hamlin and the others.
He came to his senses, "fxxk! us." He hung up the phone, and immediately returned to the camera with a smile.
Now everyone laughed more happily.
If, as Hamlin said, the judicial system is completely unable to cope with the sudden increase of criminals, many people are caught in the police station with their front feet, and then released through the back door through various methods such as bail and misdemeanor pleas.
After being released, many young black men raised their arms high in front of the reporter's camera, gesticulating with gangsters, as if they were victors.
Of course, very few TV stations broadcast this scene. Basically, the focus is on the vigorous joint action in the public housing area. The results are quite fruitful. The Chicago police press conference was filled with various illegal guns and drugs for reporters to take pictures.
"It seems that the political significance of this joint operation is greater than the practical significance." A few hours later, Hamlin made a judgment.
The stone in Song Ya's heart was slightly lowered. Peter's fight for the governor is great news for him, and he will need his own money and influence at that time.
Looking at the watch, it was almost noon, "Let's take a rest, it seems it was a false alarm."
He wanted to go back to his room to catch up on sleep.
Opening the bedroom door, Amy Adams greeted her, "Fergie is very sad." She whispered.
"What's wrong?"
Song Ya saw that Fergie was sitting on the head of the bed, making a phone call with her back turned to herself, twitching, as if she was crying.
"I'm sorry, the birthday party can't be held, so the invitation is canceled...For the sake of that little boy, us said that it's not good to hold a party now, yes, sorry..."
Leaning over, she just hung up the phone, wiped away her tears, and then continued to dial a number in the phone book.
"What's wrong?" Song Ya put his arms around her shoulders.
She twisted her body and broke free, "Hello, it's me, Fergie... Uh, sorry, the party can't be held, no! It's because of that little boy, he said it's not suitable now... Yes, I'm sorry."
"It's really not suitable now. The birthday is nothing but a party." Song Ya waited for her to hang up the phone and comforted her softly.
"I prepared so hard, Amy and I have been connecting with the coolest party people, djs, dancers, and friends these days."
She didn't struggle this time, she put her head on Song Ya's shoulder and cried.
"I know, I know, there's nothing I can do. There have been too many accidents in the past two days, can you understand?" Song Ya wiped the tears off her cheeks for her.
"Yeah." She obediently agreed, "But so much money is wasted... The stage over there in Highland Park is almost ready."
hat? Did you fix the stage? prodigal woman...
Song Ya complained secretly in her heart, "It's okay, when the time comes, we will go and have fun on our own, and we can't waste so much money."
"Good eight..."
At this time, there was a knock on the bedroom door, and it was Taraji, "Boss, Goodman is back."
"How is it?" Song Ya went out to meet Goodman.
"Well……"
Goodman's expression was a bit complicated, "Old Joe was arrested by the FBI. I haven't been able to meet him, but he has hired Barron, the African-American lawyer who represented Lowry at the time. You have seen..."
"I know him."
That Barron also passed on the message for BET boss Johnson. He is a powerful black lawyer and has maintained a long-term cooperative relationship with Old Joe. Song Ya nodded in approval, "What crime was he arrested by the FBI?"
"Two categories," Goodman said. "The police found drugs and illegal firearms when they searched Joe Sr.'s music, and they got some of his accounts for suspected tax evasion."
"Drugs?" Song Ya knew that Lao Qiao didn't touch drugs very much.
"It should belong to someone in the tank group." Taraji added, "Do you remember? They often quarrel about this matter."
Song Ya remembered that he had indeed heard those aunts arguing about this matter. Personal words should not be too much, and it has nothing to do with Lao Qiao, unless he wants to carry it for the aunts.
"The second category is more troublesome."
Goodman lowered his voice, "I heard from Baron that Pablo and AK were also arrested by the FBI in San Diego, and they did it at the same time as Old Joe."
