I frown.
You may not know how important this secret is right now.
It's the only hope for Luke's conviction.
Mike Hammer told me Sam didn't.
Once again, I lost my temper.
"Why didn't he tell you! "
'I don't know, maybe he's afraid I'll be in danger if I know. "
"You guys are out of danger by making this video? A man is innocent and bears his guilt! When
Luke sees this video, he doesn't care if you really know! "
"I... I didn't expect it at the time. "
After listening to Mike Hammer's response, I was angry but speechless.
Indeed, at the time of recording this video, he was about to kill someone, and it's not unusual to
think about that much.
But then I thought about it and suddenly I was in a cold sweat.
At that time, I just out of the society for a short time, no background, also dare not offend any
dignitaries, so things cautious.
But in this case, my life was in danger.
In case you don't understand, let me explain briefly.
Once this video is submitted as evidence, Luke will still not be arrested due to lack of evidence.
Mike Hammer, on the other hand, will get a light sentence and a few years in prison.
At this time, Luke will not be relaxed outside, but will be vigilant day and night.
Because he is afraid that Mike Hammer knows the secret, he is afraid that Mike Hammer is just
not saying it, he is afraid that Mike Hammer is trying to blackmail him with the secret.
So he'll be waiting outside the prison for Mike Hammer to get out.
Then he will try his best to kill Mike Hammer, just like he killed Sam.
Not only that.
What I just said to Mike Hammer is that every man is not guilty.
The same thing applies to me now.
As Mike Hammer's lawyer, I am the person other than Mike Hammer who is most likely to know the secret.
Luke might even suspect me.
Sam in the video says it.
That's the secret that could kill Luke.
He won't leave anything to chance.
...
Eg. The thought of it gives me goose bumps all over.
Suddenly was surrounded in such a storm, that fear arises spontaneously.
Mike Hammer looked at me quizzically and asked, "What's wrong? "
I turned to look at him, frowning: "Aren't you afraid? "
'With this proof I won't have to live forever; what are I afraid of? "
"Aren't you afraid Luke will hurt you? "
When asked, Mike Hammer blinks, his face twitches, and then stiffly shifts to concern.
"Yeah, that's when Luke's gonna hurt me. "
Mike Hammer's reaction was like a barb that triggered a strong sense of discomfort in me.
Emotions just exploded in my head.
Not hate, not disgust, doubt.
Ever since I was entrusted with this case, I've felt like I've been dragged along by something.
As a lawyer, you should always be ahead of the curve when you are involved in a case.
But I'm looking at a lighthouse through a fog.
I grabbed my things and left the meeting room.
Instead of giving the video to the police as evidence, I went home alone.
I locked the door, drew the curtains, kept my room completely closed and dark, and huddled in
bed, remembering every detail of the case.
Think about it.
This was supposed to be a simple, iron case.
Why has it become so confusing?
From intentional murder, to paid murder, to exhortation to kill.
I never seem to come across the truth.
It's like the truth is being hidden.
If you analyze the details of this past period.
You'll find that all the uncertainty, it all comes from Mike Hammer.
It was his phone call that made the case a Slam Dunk.
He was the one who pulled Luke in after recanting his confession.
It was he who produced new evidence that turned the case around again.
......
I always felt like Mike Hammer was lying to me.
