In the past two years, Lyon has won praise from all over the United States.
He is extremely harsh in handling any case, and he adheres to the practice of investigating the truth and clearing others' innocence, which gives him an excellent reputation in both black and white!
The Los Angeles Police Department’s prestige in the eyes of the public has doubled!
This police station has also become a place for countless people to report crimes.
There is Leon here. No matter how unfair the incident is, as long as it is Leon's turn to preside over it, he will clear the wronged person.
But...
Even though Lyon has a breeze on his sleeves, he is honest and honest.
but!
This is not the case with other police departments.
Two years ago, Captain Martin of the police department's criminal investigation unit.
He is a white captain, thirty-five years old. He is usually glib and flattering, which gives him an excellent reputation in the police station, but he does not take it seriously when handling cases. In the eyes of the people, Captain Martin is a scum!
Two years ago, when he was the captain of the Criminal Investigation Brigade, he handled a murder case.
The murderer is a 54-year-old white timber truck driver, Bowman.
Bowman accidentally killed the son of a local entrepreneur. Due to insufficient evidence, Captain Martin drafted the case and forged evidence privately in order not to offend the entrepreneur. Finally, Bowman was sentenced to death one month later.
October 25, 1998, was the day when Leon took Kelly and others back to the police station.
Kelly and others were frightened, so they chose to stay at the police station.
Kelly and others also spent the six-day safety period.
Under the protection of the police, Kelly and the others established good interpersonal relationships with the police at the police station.
Every police officer takes time to listen to Kelly and others explain the details of the death alert.
Six days later, at nine o'clock in the morning on Halloween, October 31, the police station had just opened.
Kelly, Owen, Evan, Andrew, and Alec were talking freely in the office of the Criminal Investigation Captain, although Kelly and others were somewhat reluctant.
Since Martin likes supernatural things, he listened with great interest.
Suddenly!
The bell rang loudly in the police station. Everyone looked outside, and the windows were filled with smoke.
"What happened?" Martin, a fat white police officer, looked confused. Just as he was about to get up and rush out, the door of the office was pushed open and a young white man ran in. He was wearing a black windbreaker, leather pants, and black sneakers. Wearing a black knitted hat, he held a black M4 in his hand.
The visitor pulled the trigger on Martin without any hesitation, "Die, Martin!!!"
Just as he pulled the trigger, he was suddenly kicked away by Leon behind him and hit the wall ten meters away, causing the gangster to faint.
Unexpectedly, when the M4 rifle was separated from his right hand, the gun fired, and bullets sprayed randomly into the office.
Without any accident, Martin was shot through the forehead by a bullet and died there.
As the bullets fell, Leon was stunned by the scene in the office, "How could this happen?"
In the office, four people, Owen, Evan, Andrew, and Alec, had their foreheads pierced by bullets, leaving only a pale-faced Kelly who escaped from the fired rifle.
"Why are the five of you in Martin's office?"
Looking at the four dead people at the scene, including Kelly who was unharmed, Leon was confused in the wind.
He had warned not to come looking for Martin. Martin was a bad cop himself, and he relied on his super network of connections to have smooth sailing in the police station. But why did these five people go to find Martin behind his back?
At this time, the door of Martin's office was surrounded by police officers in black, who were all stunned by the scene inside the office.
Kelly huddled in the corner with a scared look on her face and explained hesitantly: "It was Martin. He dragged us here. He said why the five of us had good relationships with others, but we were not good with him because we looked down on him. ..In order to avoid unnecessary gossip, we chose to come here.”
Leon didn't care about this at all and shouted angrily: "Don't you know he has many enemies?"
Frightened by Leon's loud voice, Kelly trembled all over, "Yes...I'm sorry!"
"That's enough, go home and don't stay at the police station anymore!"
At this time, Director Gary ran over in a panic. After discovering the tragedy at the scene, he couldn't help frowning and said: "How could such a thing happen...Also, Leon, why do you blame Kelly? What does she know?" ? The God of Death wants to take the lives of students, should we just let the God of Death do whatever he wants, Kelly, come, come to your uncle's office, don't argue with Leon."
Then Kelly was helped back to the director's office by Director Gary.
"Damn it, I said I would protect you, but you just didn't listen. I can't sympathize with the deaths of the four of you at all!"
Looking at the bodies of the four people, Leon was angry and helpless, then turned his attention to the man in the black windbreaker who was foaming at the mouth, "Take him to the interrogation room and I will interrogate him personally."
Then the gangster was carried into the dark interrogation room.
About 10 minutes later, the gangster woke up naturally. After seeing Lyon, a regretful smile appeared on his face.
Leon looked serious and looked at the information report in his hand, "Mark, 27 years old, a graduate of Caltech. Why are you laughing? Why are you still laughing after doing this? Do you think I will have a good face towards murderers?"
Unexpectedly, the other party said indifferently: "I don't regret it, I just feel sorry. If you had been in charge of my dad's case, my dad might not have died tragically."
"Your dad?"
"Bowman."
Hearing this, Leon immediately realized something, and the expression on his face changed from seriousness to astonishment, "The truck driver transporting timber accidentally killed the entrepreneur's son. Is there another hidden reason behind this matter?"
"Entrepreneur Robin...where did he get his son?" Mark smiled sarcastically and slowly explained: "You will know everything after you hear me tell this story."
Facing Leon, Mark didn't hide anything, and everything from childhood to adulthood was slowly narrated.
In 1981, October 31st was Mark’s birthday.
He was born into a poor family, his father was a lumberjack and his mother was a nanny.
My parents lived frugally and saved enough money to buy a second-hand heavy truck. My father, Bowman, worked hard for the family and drove long distances to transport wood all year round, occasionally transporting the most dangerous steel coils!
Afterwards, due to Bowman's excessive efforts, the family's living standard gradually improved, and Mark gradually became a sensible student with both good character and academic performance.
It was just a twist of fate that six years ago in early 1992, Mark's mother suffered from mid-stage breast cancer.
According to the doctor, as long as the operation fee of 100,000 yuan is collected, the patient can be cured. After all, it is not an advanced stage.
From 1992 to 1996, I spent all my savings.
Later, Bowman worked hard during the day and took care of his wife and only son: Mark at night.
Mark has always seen these hardships, so he dropped out of Caltech to work without telling his father.
Until two years ago, one day in 1996, Mark's father asked Robin, the owner of the logistics company, because he was unable to pay the expensive medical bills.
Robin was also a conscientious boss at first. Later, due to his involvement in gambling, his temperament changed drastically, resulting in frequent misappropriation of public funds and unpaid wages.
The reason was that Robin was addicted to gambling, which caused his full salary to be in arrears for 2 years.
Although the boss defaulted on wages, because Bowman believed that Robin would pay them, he chose to believe it and believed it for two years.
Later, because he was unable to pay the medical bills, he asked his boss Robin to pay his wages.
But the boss Robin kept delaying the payment of wages. Unable to bear it, Bowman contacted a group of drivers to jointly report the situation to the Workers' Association, hoping that the Workers' Association would help Bowman and other drivers. Host fairness.
As a people's union, the Labor Guild naturally came forward, and in the end the boss Robin was fined 50% of his net worth: 2 million yuan, and almost went bankrupt.
So Bowman naturally received his two-year salary of 80,000 yuan.
Bowman also used the money to pay overdue medical bills.
It seems that everything is an ordinary family, work, and life story, just asking for a salary to pay medical bills. In the end, it was successful. It should have been a happy ending.
As Mark told it, the turning point suddenly came——
One night two years ago, Mark's father Bowman was driving a truck to deliver goods as usual.
He almost bumped into someone on the way, so Bowman got out of the car to check, and suddenly discovered that it was his former boss Robin. He was wearing a black suit and hiding on the roadside. Behind Robin, there was a group of white thugs. Without any accident, Bowman was seriously injured. After three months of training, Bowman recovered.
But the matter was not over yet. Robin got a boy's body from somewhere, and he bribed Martin, the captain of the Criminal Police Brigade of the First Police Station, to convict Bowman of murder. As long as Bowman was convicted, he would die. Will be punished by death!
Due to insufficient evidence, Martin did not jump to conclusions easily.
However, Captain Martin could not resist the temptation of money, and later decided to forge evidence under Robin's money offensive. In the end, the driver Bowman, who had been severely injured by someone sent by Robin, the boss of the logistics company, was sentenced to death after recovering from his injuries.
Later, the boss Robin and Captain Martin became "grasshopper friends" on the same ship.
The two often communicated with each other, and Captain Martin used his power to help Robin solve one dirty thing after another.
The two complemented each other, and their careers and lives became increasingly happy. In the end, only one person died: Mark's father Bowman!
After hearing everything, Leon looked at what happened in the USB drive of the truck's driving recorder that Mark plugged into his laptop, which made Leon feel very angry.
He was so angry that he smashed the silver metal interrogation table with his palm. Mark, who was handcuffed, looked at this scene in horror. Captain Lyon just... seemed to have been merciful to him?
In the laptop screen, Mark's father Bowman was brutally beaten by Robin and others with weapons on a quiet road in the dead of night. In the end, a passing Asian homeless man called the police, and his life was saved.
If the homeless man hadn't found out in time, Mark's father Bowman would have died on the deserted roadside at night.
After reading everything, Leon took a deep breath and calmed down. This time, he did not have any resentment towards the death design arranged by the God of Death. It was reasonable, regrettable and angry at the same time.
If Death is playing with Leon's emotions, then Leon will say: [Death, you have done it]
He looked at Mark sympathetically and comforted: "You are a good boy in the eyes of your parents!"
It wasn't until this moment that Leon suddenly realized why Mark would first release a homemade smoke bomb in the police station and set off a fire alarm, just to attract unnecessary casualties. Mark's goal was extremely clear. He had no intention of harming innocent people, but just wanted to kill them instantly. Captain Martin's life was taken to avenge his father's death.
Unfortunately, Leon did not notice that Andrew, Owen, Evan and others were in Martin's office and kicked Mark from behind. Later, due to the gap period, Death took advantage of it and designed the M4 to misfire. In an accident, police officer Andrew, Evan technical geek, rich second-generation Alec, and captain Owen were all killed. Only Kelly survived. However, Kelly also suffered scratches and almost died.
Mark looked regretful and asked, "It's a pity that my parents can't see them anymore, right?"
In this regard, Leon looked thoughtful and remained silent.
Mark's mother also died long after his father was sentenced to death.
The death of his mother became the last straw that broke Mark's back, leading to the current tragic situation.
He wanted to comfort Mark by saying that his dead parents were watching all this in heaven, but it was too ethereal and hypocritical. Even Leon himself didn't believe it. How could he make others believe in the existence of the so-called heaven?
Seeing that Leon stopped talking, Mark smiled with relief and asked tentatively: "My fate is death, I know it. I don't want to die in the trial ceremony. If I die, I hope Mr. Lyon will come and deal with it." I'm going to take action. I know there are lives in your hands, but the lives of those bad guys cannot tarnish your integrity and innocence. I won't blame you. I will also sign a liability exemption agreement because I really don't want to die under the hammer of those dirty judges. Down!"
Seeing this scene, the audience in Beautiful Country couldn't help but pity Mark.
The world is full of tricks...
Just when the audience was imagining this, Leon in the screen seemed to have made a decision that went against his heart, and solemnly promised, "You can't die, you will even be found not guilty!"
As the words fell, Mark, who was ready to die, looked shocked, "What? I can't die?"
Seeing the decision made by Lyon, the audience in Beautiful Country were also dumbfounded.
How can he still be found not guilty in such a mortal situation?
