Chapter 1029 Who is Rodney
On the afternoon of the 24th, the lawyer team will go to the Federal Building in Los Angeles to meet with Chen Kangjie and others.
Before going, the group held a small meeting at the company. This time, in addition to a routine meeting, they also made some arrangements after repeated discussions in advance.
"Ms. Rashiel, have you mastered the use of this kind of camera?" Fan Wenxuan asked the black female lawyer sexually.
The United States is a developed country, and almost every family has a camera, so why would you ask this question?
This was a trick that Liu Deyi thought of. He felt that although the previous revelations alone had put a lot of pressure on the US officials, this pressure was obviously not enough. Therefore, he thought of a way to let these lawyers who could see Chen Kangjie bring a micro camera in, and strive to get some valuable information back.
Fortunately, Miramax is professional in this regard. They put a miniature color camera into the female lawyer's briefcase. There is a hidden hole on the side of the briefcase, just like the design of the bag before, and the lens is seen from there. As for the shooting button, there is a wire that goes along the middle of the strap to the shrink buckle joint position in the middle of the strap. As long as her hand presses it, the camera can shoot.
"No problem, I've tried it many times." Rashiel turned his backpack in front of him and gently patted his body to answer.
"Mr. John Baker, I hope you can cooperate well at that time, divert others' attention as much as possible, and create more appropriate opportunities for Ms. Rashiel." Fan Wenxuan nodded to Rashiel and then reminded John Baker with a cold face.
"Miss Monica, I always feel that this method is a bit abrupt. We do this, there is a suspicion of leaking the secrets, especially since you are planning to publish what you have obtained to the media." John Baker lowered his head, looking a little unenthusiastic.
John Baker saw that the client actually did not intend to solve the problem completely through a normal legal perspective. They played the role of spies to a certain extent, which greatly reduced their original functions. Even if Chen Kangjie was able to rescue Chen Kangjie smoothly, it might not bring them much sense of accomplishment. Therefore, at the beginning, John Baker was resistant to this method, and even if he accepted it later, his interest was not very high.
As a black man, Rashire is also of color, so he has sympathy for Chen Kangjie. Since she saw Chen Kangjie with her own eyes, she has not believed that he would do that, so he has a supportive attitude. Moreover, their family and his husband like Chen Kangjie quite a lot. Anyway, he and John Baker are not in the same law firm, so she can make decisions independently.
"Mr. John Baker, I hope you understand what our purpose is. If you want LONG to stay in it for a long time, then you can tell me that in order to rescue LONG, we have paid your firm $1.8 million in attorney fees. According to the agreement, if LONG can come out safely, we will pay 5 million US dollars. We are the client. The agreement has stated that you must do things according to the client's requirements. If you choose to withdraw, it is OK. I believe that your firm will send other lawyers to do it. Even if it doesn't work, who can't do so in the United States? Besides, I didn't let you break the law, so I was very unsatisfied." John Baker's attitude made Fan Wenxuan very unhappy, so he spoke in a bad manner and was very imposing.
After saying that, Fan Wenxuan's cold eyes moved away from John Baker and turned to Rashiel. Although their behavior was not very consistent, it was not illegal. Otherwise, Rashiel, who was also a lawyer, would have opposed it long ago. Now they are the relationship between employers and employees, and Fan Wenxuan is facing the greatest pressure at present, so she can't treat John Baker with a good look and put the employer's attitude very correctly.
Anyway, Fan Wenxuan is very clear that as long as you have money in the United States, you can find many people to do things, especially lawyers. In this society, lawyers are never regarded as honest and moral people. Because of this, the profession of lawyers is really mixed in praise and criticism in the United States. Some people envy them, while more people hate them.
In fact, Fan Wenxuan and the others had to do this, and they had no turning back. They had already caused a stir in the media. Under great pressure, the FBI would not guarantee that they would not play according to the rules. If they did not use some special means and put more pressure on them, Chen Kangjie and the others might have a harder life, and it would be impossible for someone to surrender.
John Baker thought for a long time with a pale face, sighing, and forced himself to make this helpless choice. Those who know the times are heroes, and no other reason, even for those millions of dollars, he had to do it. But at this time, he hoped that these methods would not work. This would not only dampen Fan Wenxuan's aura, but also give him room to play, and at the same time earn more and more huge money for the company and him personally.
After preparing to stop, the lawyers drove out of Miramax in three cars and headed towards the Federal Building in Los Angeles.
The reporters who had been guarding the company's door saw that they were moving, and slapped them at the body without any response, and quickly drove up and followed them.
In the parking lot of Federal Building in Los Angeles, there was no doubt that the lawyers were surrounded by reporters. They were only twenty or thirty meters away from the parking lot to the gate of the building. Under the siege of reporters with long guns and short cannons, they walked for three minutes before they could break through.
The reporters raised various questions about the lawyer team. Some asked them the purpose of their visit today, some asked Chen Kangjie's physical condition, some asked about the progress of the case, some asked about their views on this matter, and some asked when the truth would be revealed. In short, they received dozens of questions.
Unfortunately, they could not answer most questions, but they said a few words on behalf of John Baker, who was not very emotional, under the last resort.
He said he did not believe that Chen Kangjie was guilty. As for when the truth was revealed, he had to ask the FBI, which was the case they were responsible for investigating. As for Chen Kangjie's physical condition, he said he would go in and meet again before he knew that they did not answer any other questions. As an attorney, no matter whether he was in a high mood or not, John Baker's position could not be problematic.
When they arrived at the gate of the Federal Building in Los Angeles, the reporters wanted to chase them in, but they were all blocked by the police. Only lawyers were able to enter after showing their documents. In the past two days, in order to order the order here, the Los Angeles police sent four police cars and more than a dozen policemen to stay here 24 hours a day.
This time the meeting with Chen Kangjie was not in Charles' office, and Charles himself did not come forward, perhaps for revenge. They saw him in a detention room where Chen Kangjie was detained. Except for the iron fence in the middle, Chen Kangjie's hand was still wearing all the handcuffs.
It is logical that the parties involved met with lawyers and the police should not be present at the scene, but today Chen Kangjie and his lawyer did not receive such treatment. After the two agents took John Baker and Rashiel to the detention room, they did not leave, kept guarding them, and only gave them five minutes to meet.
According to the procedure, John Baker asked Chen Kangjie some legal issues, such as asking him to describe the situation he experienced when the explosion occurred and the interrogation of him by FBI agents. These are all open questions. Even if the FBI is present, it doesn't matter. Moreover, John Baker thought that the more critical person who came here this time was Rashiel, not him.
John Baker, whether he thought about it or not, indirectly helped Rashiel. Just when he asked Chen Kangjie for answering, the two agents were indeed attracted by them and did not care much about her existence at all. Instead, she could take multiple photos of Chen Kangjie from a moving perspective while being cautious.
Compared to the last time we met, Chen Kangjie's situation looked worse. The clothes that had not been changed for a few days had lost their original quality and became dirty and wrinkled. A black stubble appeared on his face that had always been clean. His originally uniform hairstyle became messy, and his skin color turned yellow and white because he had not seen the sunlight for many days. Only his deep eyes still shone with a confident light.
Chen Kangjie sat or stood in his trumpet with only six square meters, pondering and answering John Baker's regular questions. Because there were two outsiders, his answers were just right, without exaggeration, and without too much complaints.
After answering four questions from John Baker, the two agents said that the time was up and asked them to leave.
At this moment, Chen Kangjie suddenly grabbed the iron bars that were isolated from him with both hands and asked Rashiel a question for no reason.
"Miss Rashiel, do you know Rodney King?"
"Ah, oh,,,,,,,,,,." Rashiel stopped in shock, and didn't understand why Chen Kangjie asked this question for a while. And she suddenly didn't remember who Rodney King was, and just gave a vague answer out of instinctive impression.
The two agents were anxious to drive John Baker and Rashiel away, and did not pay much attention to the questions raised by Chen Kangjie.
Rashiel planned to ask why Chen Kangjie mentioned that person, but unfortunately the two FBI agents did not give her this time and drove them out of the detention room in a row.
In the car returning, Rashiel kept singing the question Chen Kangjie suddenly asked when he was leaving. She kept thinking about who Rodney King was, but she never remembered it, but she was sure that she had indeed heard of this name.
After Fan Wenxuan and others who had been waiting for them met John Baker and Rashiel, they immediately asked the detailed process of the meeting. They also reported on the last question Chen Kangjie asked, and the camera in her bag was taken out to wash the photos as soon as possible.
