0068 The End of Michael

In the days since Lynch started renovating his new house, the Michael law enforcement case has taken a turn.

The first person to stand up was not Lynch, nor Michael, nor Director Johnson, but his good partner.

This good partner has been working with Michael for twelve or thirteen years. He is also the deputy leader of the investigation team of the Sabine City Taxation Bureau. In the eyes of many people, he has always been Michael's good brother. There is almost no relationship between the two. Nothing to say.

No one expected that he would stand up first and confess some "details" in front of the media that the media had not learned before.

In this good partner's description, the conflict between Michael and Lynch originated from an unexpected "collision" between the two.

"Michael and I were walking down the street, and Lin... Lynch was walking on the sidewalk pushing a cart full of dirty clothes, and Michael pointed at Lynch and said, 'Hey, look at that kid. , let's straighten him out'.

The good partner showed a sad and regretful expression in front of the camera, "I thought he was just joking, but he obviously meant it, and then he took me with him without any reason, no search warrant, and no arrest. order and any legal documents, Mr Lynch was attacked."

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

The reporters immediately exclaimed. They could hardly imagine what kind of hatred could make an adult be so cruel to a young man.

A reporter couldn't help but stood up, "Unnamed partner, did Michael and Lynch know each other before this? Do they have any grudges?"

The good partner shook his head, "They don't know each other. I don't know if they have any grudges. Maybe Michael himself knows the reason..." Then he continued to describe Michael's "atrocities", which included threatening and beating the masthead, and beating Things like vomiting blood on the masthead.

Things like this further reflect Michael's brutality and cruelty, and also make the media more inclined to believe that Michael is a problematic investigator. He has become accustomed to using violence to solve problems, and even threatens ordinary, innocent people.

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

For a time, Michael's friends, his partners, his subordinates or people who knew him were all interviewed by the media. Most of the results of these interviews were the same. Michael had serious violent tendencies and his temper was very violent. Impatient, irritable.

When the media even interviewed Michael's father, the old man drove him out with a double-barreled shotgun. As a result, Michael's father and the whole family became a new trend of public opinion - "How Much Can a Person Really Be?" irritable".

People began to shift the question of whether the law enforcement power was excessive away from Michael's law enforcement case, and instead began to look at Michael himself.

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

The rapid turnaround of public opinion makes the Federal Tax Administration very satisfied. Now there are not a few congressmen shouting stupid things like putting power in a cage. People are reprimanding Michael, which is good!

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

As one of the main and known victims, Lynch needs to be present as a witness, and he may be useful.

This court session was not conducted in the form of a public hearing on the grounds that too many media applications might interfere with the court trial process and affect the order of the court. In fact, this was to ensure the correctness of the outcome of this trial.

The power of the FBI and the Federal Tax Service was enough to alert the Department of Justice, which issued a request for a closed trial to the Sabine City Court one day in advance.

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

The courtroom was very empty. Lynch sat in the auditorium and looked at Michael with some interest, who had obviously freshened up temporarily. His pale face made him look more haggard, and his dull hair also made him look very embarrassed. .

The judge asked more than ten questions in a row. Except for a few questions that Michael refused to answer, he answered most of them and pleaded guilty.

The court pronounced the verdict in court and sentenced him to eighty-seven months, which is seven years and three months.

Considering that Michael was once a law enforcement officer in Sabine City and he also personally sent some people to prison, for the sake of his personal safety, his sentence will be spent in another state's state prison with stricter management. Pass.

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

According to federal laws and regulations, he can reduce his sentence to less than three years through various methods. Then the Federal Taxation Bureau will directly "requisition" Michael on the grounds of the "Special Talent Recruitment Act" and find a place to arrange it. He is free.

The entire sentence is actually less than three years. This is the result that Director Johnson personally assured him, so Michael will not raise the idea of ​​appealing. There is no need.

Once the appeal is made, the case will be tried in the state court, and the situation may be even worse. Federal judges are very subjective in sentencing. If they think Michael's appeal behavior is the kind of uncontrollable temper and a provocation to the court and the law, they may increase the sentence and limit the reduction of sentence.

The matter is over at this point. After the verdict, the media got the result of the trial as soon as possible, and then the whole federation knew the result in one day. After a short period of collective justice, people began to invest in new topics.

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

Director Johnson was praised by the state office, Michael's partner, the deputy head of the tax bureau investigation team, was officially promoted, and the team members changed. Those behind the scenes also stopped their activities with satisfaction, and the people left the stage with satisfaction after watching a big show.

Everyone left with satisfaction, which was funny.

"Mr. Lynch!"

Just after getting rid of the fearless entanglement of the reporter and walking about a hundred meters, two children wearing dirty peaked caps stopped in front of him. He knew one of them, the child who had exchanged 97 cents for one dollar, a newspaper boy.

Lynch casually put his hand into his trouser pocket. There was a fountain pen in his pocket. He pushed off the pen cap with his fingers. There was once a man who said "every pen is like a knife" while killing a guy. He was not sure if he was that fierce, but at least it gave him a little confidence.

That night, he watched these children stab the newspaper head to death one by one. The hidden fangs of these children were more eye-catching than the pitiful appearance they showed.

"Is there anything?" Lynch had a smile on his face. He always smiled, just like the weather was always so good and the sun was always so bright.

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

After the death of the newspaper head, these children were temporarily relieved, but it was only temporary, because the situation changed quickly.

They need to give their families behind them, or the welfare institutions to send the wages for hiring these children on time, and also manage some social connections.

They can take the wages for the welfare institutions and families back by themselves, but they are powerless to make connections in society, which makes them unable to get newspapers. The newspaper company refuses to wholesale newspapers to these minors.

At the same time, there are some problems at the waste recycling station. They have been lowering the price. The waste that used to sell 20 to 30 yuan or more every day can only be sold for a few yuan or more.

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