Chapter 318

Then he stood up calmly, turned silently and walked outside Holmes' office. His colleague and friend plastered the room with clippings of media coverage of the various cases they were involved in. Most of the bright red headlines cursed moral depravity and legal fiasco, while Holmes Somewhere behind him stood up, shouting his name.

"You know the level of other people in the law firm!" Holmes cried out anxiously behind him, "Only you and I can defend a suspect in a case like this—I can't just follow the law lightly. Pull out a team!"

He put an unnecessary emphasis on the word "together."

Without looking back, Herstal said, "I have other work—"

"Put them off! I know you don't have any important cases on your hands lately. Those interns under your command can do that work!"

Herstal did not slow down, his hand touched the icy spherical door handle, and the texture of copper and patterns was branded into his palm.

Holmes' irritable voice continued to get into his ears: "Mr. Slade specifically named you to defend him, he said that you two had a relationship at a cocktail party, and even had a very speculative chat - damn it. , he has even paid a large deposit!"

Click, handle turns, latch retracts.

"Herstal! Why not this time?" Holmes exclaimed, "We've dealt with so many similar cases - we've defended the daughter who murdered her boyfriend, we've overplayed SM and we We defended the bastard who threw his corpse, we defended the actress who shot her husband's head in the head, we defended the politician who defended his sixteen-year-old adopted daughter. Over the years, you have never been critical of your entrustment One word, why can't it work this time?"

Herstal's movement to open the door came to a halt.

right. this is a problem.

Why not this time?

And Lavasa McCard was still staring at them... at him and Albarino.

What would McCard think if he found out that Slade had commissioned the A&H law firm to handle the case, but Herstal had declined the commission? How sharp is he, and how much truth can he perceive from it?

Even if Slade didn't speak out about Herstal being at Sequoia Manor, McCard would definitely be aware that he and Stryer, through the very fact of his refusal to defend Slade, would have There are innumerable connections between Germany. Because the pianist will choose to defend a person and then kill him, but he has not yet disgusted a person to the point where he even disdains defending him. The personal likes and dislikes reflected in this are too obvious - this truth is in the eyes of the profilers. Must be clear.

...If McArd became suspicious and insisted on investigating in this direction, with the focus of his recent attention, he would definitely find Albarino. Then he might discover that Albarino "just happens" to investigate Sequoia Manor as well.

And the bruise in the shape of the tooth mark on Albarino's hand has not completely faded away. Although the other party said that the incident would not affect Herstal's plan to kill Slade, Herstal was not naive enough to believe Al. Ballino really didn't go to Sequoia Manor secretly anymore - the last thing he needed was for McCard to get a search warrant to extract the bite mark on Albarino's hand and talk to this extensively. For a period of time, Westland's anonymous corpse tooth model was compared.

In that brief moment, such thoughts flooded through Herstal's mind like water, and the background color still matched the disgusting smile on Slade's face. Hestal couldn't help but stretched out his hand to knead his eyebrows and sighed softly.

Then he turned and turned to Mr. Holmes.

McArd looked at Herstal with an obviously shocked look in his eyes, as if he didn't expect things to move forward like this, didn't expect this lawyer to appear here in this form.

And Bart Hardy's eyes were even more shocked. He stared blankly at Herstal, unable to look away for a long time.

——Hestal also did not expect such a situation today. At this time, he was even thinking, if only Olga Molozze had woken up, maybe the other party would not be confused by these blind tricks and boring misleading, maybe she could see the truth at a glance, then Herstal would Without sitting in this cold interrogation room, you can immediately bow your head and surrender.

This is what he didn't say to Albarino. Sometimes the idea of ​​"resting" and the idea of ​​continuing to go on sounded tempting sounds in his ears, just like Mephisto tempted Faust, And the sound is actually just as loud. Death and darkness are still like soft sleep, just in Chen Heng's breath, in the sound of the trembling vocal cords, and wherever his eyes can reach.

Stryder gave him a polite smile and said, "Mr. Armalette, you're finally here."

The man spoke with his eyes unspoken things - my accomplice, my hunting companion in the sweet and sinful nest, my friend with whom I shared the feast, and so on. He paused, then added with a smile, "I'll be relieved when you come."
