Chapter 1176 Pride and Prejudice
"Explain your purpose. My colleagues and I just had a gunfight in the city center and were called here immediately. You should understand this, Mr. Barrett.
When a person is in a very bad mood, it is impossible to be reasonable."
Jack was a little annoyed with this lawyer, and he also hated Attorney General Jackson. It was him who asked him to keep a low profile before, and now that the case has been exposed, he threw himself out to take the blame.
Although he could understand the man's difficulties and knew that he did not really want to help those "big guys" settle the matter but had other plans, this did not mean that Jack would completely follow the prosecutor's baton.
Seeing Jack's impatience, the lawyer seemed a little uneasy. The current situation was that his side had something to ask of others, but this little FBI agent showed such a reckless attitude, as if he did not understand the power behind his words just now.
"I'm sorry."
As a partner of a big law firm, Larry Barrett knows how to bend and stretch. He pulled the collar of his shirt, which was a little uncomfortable, and then he realized that he was in a hurry when he went out, and he didn't even wear a tie.
"But the media who smell the blood may appear at any time. If it weren't for the shooting that just happened that attracted their attention, the outside would have been surrounded by interview cars.
I only have one small request, that is, can we handle this case carefully and low-key?"
"I don't know how you lawyers define the words cautious and low-key, but such a crime scene..."
Jack raised his hand and pointed to the body in the elevator, "You won't ask me to lie for you and say that this is also suicide, right?"
"Of course there is no need to lie." As if sensing that Jack's tone was a little loose, Larry Barrett quickly handed over his business card.
"Just don't make any comments to the media for the time being, just like you usually do."
Jack did not reach out to take the business card, but raised his hand to check the time. It was already 3 o'clock in the morning.
He made an introduction gesture to Jiejie, asked her for a business card and handed it to the lawyer, "This is Agent Jennifer Jean, she is responsible for all external communications of our team.
We have been busy all night and now urgently need to rest. We have to attend the mayor's press conference on the previous parade shooting tomorrow morning.
Please contact Agent Jean after 10 am tomorrow and provide all the information of Joseph Fielding and the two previous victims according to the list she gave, including secret bank accounts, tax records, private emails, etc."
Seeing that the lawyer opened his mouth and wanted to say something, Jack didn't let him say the bargaining words.
"I know that your lawyers communicate closely with each other, so don't say something like you don't know the identities of the first two victims, otherwise my promise will be invalidated immediately.
Mr. Barrett, I hope you can realize this. Unless we can work together to find the murderer, similar troubles will only increase until they explode like a time bomb."
The lawyer's face turned black, and he gritted his teeth and nodded slightly, "You make a lot of sense. We will cooperate with you."

"Wow, if we can deal with lawyers like we did just now every time, I think I will fall in love with this job completely." Aubrey bit his hamburger in big mouthfuls and sighed vaguely.
"I thought you had already fallen in love with the profession of federal agent." Although Jiejie teased Aubrey, it can be seen from her expression that Jack's action just now made her feel very happy.
As the liaison officer of the team, Jiejie dealt with the most media reporters and lawyers, and naturally saw the most expressions. This time, Jack really helped her vent her anger.
"I bet that lawyer never thought that we didn't want to make this case public at all." Aubrey sipped a big gulp of carbonated drink with pride, and then swallowed the food in his mouth.
Jack smiled and nodded, "Because that's what the murderer wants us to do, so when Jubal and others arrive tomorrow, we will continue the private investigation. Only by doing the opposite can the murderer reveal more flaws."
But Jiejie's face was a little hesitant. She reached out and picked up a French fry from Jack's plate and chewed it carefully, "But in that case, is it possible to cause more victims?"
The two men sitting opposite her rolled their eyes, and Aubrey was even more disdainful, "Although paying for sex with women is not a capital crime, but 20,000 US dollars a night, it's hard for me to have too much sympathy for such a rich man."
Looking at the two guys in front of her who have no sense of being rich, Jiejie can only shake her head and express her speechlessness.
——
Now Jack is no longer as resistant to exposing his identity to the media to a limited extent as before.
After all, compared to the low probability of being targeted by a perverted killer who came here for his reputation, being sent undercover by someone who was considered an elite is obviously more troublesome.
In the case of Alcatraz, he could clearly feel that his teacher Rossi and the current FBI director were not on the same side.
After that, he secretly let old Mason go. Although Director Womack could not get the exact evidence, he might make a note of him in his little notebook.

So at the press conference early the next morning, Jack, Jie Jie and Aubrey stood next to the fat Director David Brown wearing sunglasses and accepted the mayor’s explanation of the three FBI agents’ Thank you for the timely help during last night's shooting.
"I thought the media would be more concerned with the number of casualties, or deliberately targeting the police in attacks, but all the questions asked were about the police using robots to detonate bombs."
After the press conference, the three returned to the temporary office. Aubrey held his cell phone and showed a "subway old man" expression.
"They only care about eye-catching information. I even saw a so-called expert make a long speech about whether robots will rebel." Jiejie smiled and poured coffee for the two of them.
"To put it bluntly, the EOD robot is just a large remote-controlled machine and has nothing to do with artificial intelligence." Aubrey complained.
Jack teased the guy while sending a message to Jubal who was still on the plane, "It's a pity that Director David Brown didn't tell the media that it was your idea to use the remote-controlled robot, otherwise you might be able to go down in history.
Some media believe that this is the first time in federal history that the police have used lethal force provided by robots to eliminate suspects. Oh, they even mentioned the movie "RoboCop." "
