"Is Eli okay?"

Max couldn't help but ask.

"What do you think."

The branch chief's face was expressionless, and he kept paying attention to Max's expression out of the corner of his eye.

"Why are you interrogating my dad?"

The youngest daughter Lucy looked at Chuck.

"Because he killed Columbia's night security guard."

Chuck doesn't hold back.

"OMG!"

Mrs. Wardrick burst into tears.

"No! Impossible!"

Lucy exclaimed: "My father is not that kind of man!"

Max shook his head and sighed.

"You don't seem surprised?"

The branch chief looked at Max: "Do you know something?"

"What can I know?"

Max shook his head and said: "The reason why I'm not surprised is because Eli probably doesn't even know what he did. He is suffering from PTSD.

He probably thought this was a battlefield, so he attacked targets he felt threatened.

Director, you are also a veteran, you should have heard about this."

"Where are the two biologists?"

The branch chief asked: "Did they also threaten him?"

"Poor parents in the world!"

Max looked at Lucy: "Susan's incident made Eli collapse. Compared with threats to himself, Eli, who is in a state of PTSD, prioritizes eliminating targets that threaten his daughter.

Class."

"Did I hurt my father?"

Lucy still didn't understand, and burst into tears.

"Sounds reasonable."

The branch chief nodded and looked at Max: "But someone told me that someone is setting the blame on Eli. What do you think?"

"Bringing the blame?"

Max was surprised: "Who would blame Eli?"

"If you blame Eli, you can get a reward of 100,000 U.S. dollars, and your wife and I can support him. Do you think anyone is willing to do it?"

When the branch chief looked over, Chuck looked at Max expressionlessly.

"I don't understand you."

Max's expression remained unchanged.

"Detective Chuck, what do you mean?"

Mrs. Wardricky could only cry: "My husband was framed, wasn't he? Lucy, what are you doing?"

After saying this, he suddenly looked at his little daughter Lucy in confusion.

But she, who was originally being comforted by her little daughter and Max, was pulled over by Lucy and separated from Max's hot and powerful chest.

"Mom! Don't you understand yet?"

Lucy pulled her mother and looked at her Uncle Max warily: "What Chuck means is that he is blaming dad!"

"What nonsense! This is impossible!"

Mrs. Wardricky subconsciously refuted: "Your Uncle Max is your father's best friend. He can't possibly..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Lucy: "Really? Mom, don't think that I am still young and don't know anything. Before Dad comes back, every time Uncle Max comes over, you... Huh! Dad

If you were framed and sent to jail, or even died, wouldn't you throw yourself into his arms?"

"..."

Mrs. Wardrick was immediately speechless.

Her husband was stationed overseas for a long time. As a comrade in arms, Max would come over to visit mother and daughter on his behalf every time he came back from his rotation. If there was any heavy work at home that needed a man to do, Max would take the initiative to do it.

As time went by, the most important and most needed work in the family, farming, of course had to be entrusted to him.

She always thought that what she did was very secretive, and she had agreed with Max when chatting afterwards that they would never destroy each other's families. Max also promised repeatedly that he was Eli's best comrade and would never make Eli sad.

of.

Who would have thought that all this would fall in the eyes of the youngest daughter Lucy, and there would be no secrets left.

"What's going on with the $100,000?"

Mrs. Wardricky looked at Max with suspicion.

If he just wanted to possess her, there was no need for him to do that.

But if you add in the $100,000 benefit, she's not sure.

"I really don't know about $100,000!"

Max looked helpless: "I don't even know what you are talking about! Eli is my best comrade and friend, how could I treat him like this?"

"You didn't say this to Hunter Beckett, did you?"

Chuck said expressionlessly: "Otherwise, how could I send you away with only 100,000 US dollars! I must add more money!"

"plz follow me!"

The branch chief motioned for Max to follow him into another interrogation room: "Do you need a lawyer?"

Max fell silent for a moment.

Logically speaking, if you don't do anything wrong and just have a conversation, you don't need to hire a lawyer.

But now he hesitated.

Especially with Chuck here, if you don't hire a lawyer, you'll be in trouble if you say the wrong thing.

Having a professional litigator like a lawyer ensures that the loopholes of the law will be opened to him.

Not to mention that he can't be convicted now, even if he can be convicted later, he can rely on such professional litigators to bargain with prosecutors to reduce his guilt to the lowest level, and even make a deal to provide for Hunter Beckett.

A bargaining chip in exchange for an acquittal or a lesser crime.

The only thing that made him hesitate was the price.

That’s right!

Once a lawyer is hired and two people are killed, all the hard-earned US$100,000 will be lost to the lawyer, and he may even have to pay back the money.

This is why he calls the lawyer who can best help him at this time a lawyer.

Is it easy for him to make some money by killing people at the risk of being imprisoned for life?

But these litigators could exploit him openly and openly, which was even more ruthless than killing someone!

never mind!

It was important to save his life, and he didn't want to sit in jail for too long.

If the money is gone, you can quickly earn it back by accepting murder orders, but you will be locked up in prison forever, but you can only be forced to work, and your family will pay him to go to jail.

"I want a lawyer!"

Thinking of this, Max finally made up his mind.

After actually saying this, he no longer struggled.

In addition to the above-mentioned benefits, paying for a lawyer also has an invisible benefit, which is that it can help him get rid of moral pressure.

Killing someone, blaming a comrade, cheating on your best friend, these evil deeds that cannot be washed away, can be packaged as "cannot discriminate against criminals" and "should be more tolerant to criminals and support them to start a new life" in the mouths of these litigators.

'It's not illegal to be your best friend, don't have too high moral requirements for others, that's not good' can improve the social and moral pressure on him after he comes out, facilitate his better integration, and make quick money for him to be killed again.

Money work lays a 'mass base'.

Otherwise, as soon as he came out, everyone looked at him with strange eyes and were wary of him. If he made the slightest move, someone would report him, so how could he return to his old business?

The money earned by risking one's life is spent even if it is not spent, and it is considered well spent!

If the lawsuit is handled beautifully this time, I'll look for him next time.

But next time he must give him a discount as a long-term customer!
