After reading the trading newspaper for a while, Lynch picked up the local newspaper. Most of the things he learned in the trading newspaper are macro changes, which don't have much effect on Lynch now.

On the contrary, some local newspapers can provide him with some important information so that he can understand some local changes faster.

For example, several more factories closed down, and a large number of unemployed workers poured into the streets, making the already unsafe public security environment more unsafe.

For example, the male cat of a family is actually pregnant and has a swollen stomach. It looks as if it will be born soon. It is said that the cat owner has also invited a special nurse to take care of the male cat.

For example, the milkman on the farm said that he was kidnapped by aliens. Aliens took a pinch of leg hair from him and put him back. With the help of painters, he painted the appearance of alien spaceships and aliens.

And... Lynch glanced at the catalogue and turned to the Chinese version of the local news newspaper. There was a small piece of news on it. The news said that Michael, the former head of the investigation team of the Inland Revenue Department, who was recently transferred to prisons in other regions, admitted that he asked his children to take some responsibilities for himself in order to escape legal sanctions.

Now he realized his fault, turned himself in to the prison staff, and the court sentenced him yesterday.

Little Michael was acquitted, but Michael's sentence was increased by 40 months, three years and four months. With the previous sentence, even if director Johnson wanted to use the "special talent requisition Ordinance" to get Michael out, I'm afraid he had little chance.

Seven years later, director Johnson didn't know where to go. Maybe he was able to do so. For example, he was promoted to the state office as a consultant.

But it is also possible that he is not able to do so. We all know that the warehouse keeper can't start such regulations at all, even if he rises to the State Office of the Inland Revenue Department.

This is a "deal" that I don't know whether it is cost-effective or not.

Maybe it has different values in the eyes of different people. For example, in the eyes of Michael and his wife, at least the deal is cost-effective. Little Michael came out of prison a few months in advance and got an important judgment of "innocence".

Referring to some specific actual situations, the state court held that if Michael asked little Michael to do something, both sides were both father and son, and were master-slave relationship, little Michael could not refuse.

In addition to the age of little Michael, the crimes of shielding and perjury were not convicted. The judge of the state court humanized and gave little Michael a final judgment of "innocence".

This also means that the life stain that originally fell on little Michael's file has been completely erased because of this judgment and Michael's additional three-year sentence.

Some changes have taken place in the trajectory of his life.

Just as Lynch turned his lips to express indignation and a certain degree of humanitarian sympathy for Michael's experience, the doorbell rang.

Lynch put down the newspaper, wiped his mouth with a towel, got up and went to the living room. After the maid simply cleaned up the things on the table, she was busy to open the door for Lynch.

A good job these days is very rare, not to mention such a job that only needs cleaning.

As long as Lynch is not at home, she will lie on the sofa and watch TV to kill time. She has a good salary every month. She cares about this job very much. That's why she wants to talk to lynch privately. She hopes to work here longer.

The door of the house was soon opened. Director Johnson standing outside the door was stunned when he saw the maid's dress, and soon turned his eyes away.

Who knows if these people will have some unspeakable hobbies. In case Lynch is annoyed by looking more, or some accidents happen, he really can't tell.

After a brief inquiry, the maid led director Johnson to the living room and took the initiative to leave.

"I saw you in the newspaper just now." Lynch shook hands with director Johnson and sat back. He tilted his legs and looked at director Johnson with a smile. "What can I do for you?"

It seems to be a very normal attitude, but director Johnson feels a temperament hidden by Lynch's surface, an unspeakable thing, aloof?

Maybe, it's also a bit like arrogance, which is not easy to describe.

What he said, his expression was just to perfunctory himself, which director Johnson was sure of.

Instead of paying attention to Lynch's performances, he asked strangely, "have I been in the newspaper?"

According to no explicit rules, the leaders of an authority in a region will not take the initiative to appear in front of the media and the public without the consent of the other party.

On the one hand, it is to maintain and protect their mystery, on the other hand, it is also to avoid causing trouble to them.

There are always many lunatics in this world. They never consider whether what they do conforms to the rules. They only do what they want to do, including harassing some people who seem to hurt themselves, even if it is not.

Lynch nodded. "I saw Michael's sentence increase..."

When hearing this, director Johnson scratched his head and said with a bitter smile, "I knew I couldn't hide it from you. I did it. It also has something to do with my intention."

Lynch nodded slightly, and he went on. At the same time, he realized the purpose of director Johnson's coming here.

But he won't take the initiative to say it. Some words he says may be more valuable, but sometimes he says them himself, but they can't achieve very good results.

Michael is serving his sentence and little Michael is also in prison. Michael's wife may not know how to face the sudden change of life. No one in this family has the ability to change the status quo.

There is only one person who can change and has the right to change, that is Michael's old boss, director Johnson.

Lynch will not doubt that Michael's colleagues did it. No matter what kind of situation they stepped on Michael's foot, they will not make any connection between themselves and Michael. Only Johnson is different.

This is a good man. Sometimes he is too kind to say whether he is right or wrong.

After hesitating for some time, director Johnson sighed helplessly, "I met Michael two days ago. He said it was over. At the same time, he regretted what he had done to you before, and asked me to convey his apology to you and hope you can forgive him..." Lynch nodded his head and said he knew it, But judging from the unchanged expression on his face, he seemed indifferent to Michael's statement.

Think about it. Ten years later, a prisoner who has just been released from prison, a big man who may have been more successful, has no chance to have a relationship with each other for a long time. Why should he care?

But some things still need to be solved. Director Johnson continued stubbornly, "this matter... We spent a lot of money. After little Michael came back, he had to transfer to schools in other places to study again, plus some other expenses..."

Director Johnson subconsciously rubbed his hands. To be honest, he may not be an excellent person, but he almost never broke the law, let alone take the initiative to do something like today.

Hearing this, Lynch realized that he was almost there. He first expressed his attitude, "there is no good or friendship between Michael and me. Even if his wife and children have to go to the roadside to beg, they deserve it."

"But..." he said, "you and I are good friends. I am willing to help you when you are in trouble. This is not because of Michael's bullshit, but because of you, director Johnson."

Lynch's words made him some angry, some sigh, but some inexplicable pride?

In fact, when anyone's value is affirmed by others and given a higher affirmation, they will be happy about it.

"I don't know..." director Johnson was a little confused.

Lynch took out the transfer cheque book, wrote a number and handed it over, "for your sake, in the spirit of humanitarianism, I am willing to help this poor family, but I need someone to supervise its use and give it to them in installments. Do you have time to do it, director Johnson?"

With a tear, Lynch tore the check from the checkbook and held it in his hand. He was waiting for the other party's answer.
