Now when the driver hears the word "lawyer", the hair on his back stands up and he never speaks again.
The policewoman took her things and pushed the door open to go out.
**
Outside.
The lawyer Shadow had called had been waiting for a long time. He looked at his watch several times and couldn't help but call out to one of the staff members and said, "Are you not done yet?"
The staff member who was held by him looked embarrassed and didn't know how to answer.
When he looked up, he saw the policewoman coming out. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The person is out."
The lawyer also saw the person coming out and felt that she looked unfamiliar. Before he had the chance to talk to her, he saw the policewoman walk straight to one of the desks and tapped the table, attracting the attention of a small group of people.
"The suspect inside said he had something to tell us and asked the investigators to come over."
"At this moment?"
"Yes, right now."
The policewoman emphasized: "He said he had something important to say and asked us to send a few people."
The policeman in charge of the traffic accident had to put down what he was doing, stood up reluctantly, picked up his notebook, and muttered something.
"He's about to be released on bail, why would he talk to us?"
"It's really troublesome."
The policewoman seemed not to have heard his complaint and called two more people, and the four of them prepared to go back in.
The lawyer's eyelids twitched as he saw them about to go in. He stretched out his hand to call the four people, "Excuse me, officers. I'm here to sign the bail documents."
The four of them turned around.
According to normal procedures, the other party's lawyer has arrived and the bail process has been completed, so all that is needed is everyone's signature to release the person.
But it certainly won’t work now.
The police officer in charge of the case thought for a moment and told him, "Wait here for a moment. We'll go in and see what he has to say before we go through the formalities for you."
"But..." The lawyer was very nervous. However, the police officer in charge of the case did not give him this opportunity. He turned around and said something to the female police officer. The four ignored him and walked inside.
…
The lawyer watched them go in but could do nothing.
He had no choice but to send a text message to Shadow who was waiting outside to inform him of the sudden accident inside, and then he waited outside anxiously himself.
He waited for half an hour.
Half an hour later.
Someone came out again.
It happened to be the police officer in charge of the case that he was looking for. To avoid any further trouble, the lawyer quickly chased after him and stopped him: "Hello, I'm here to process bail."
The lawyer took out the bail documents that he had prepared long ago from his briefcase and handed them over: "The person I want to bail out is Eber, and here are my relevant documents."
Who would have thought that the police officer in charge of the case did not offer his hand this time, but instead looked him up and down and said coldly: "He cannot be released on bail."
"Why!" the lawyer was surprised.
The police officer said calmly, "He has just admitted that he hit someone on purpose and said that someone behind him instructed him to do so. We will conduct a surprise interrogation on him and continue to investigate the identity of the person behind him. Therefore, according to the regulations, he will not be allowed to be released on bail."
The lawyer was holding a thick stack of bail documents in his hand. When he heard the police officer's words, he choked up and suspected that he was hallucinating.
"He admitted that he hit someone on purpose?"
"Do I need to lie to you?"
"Okay, I still have to report to my superiors, you can leave by yourself." The police officer pushed him away impatiently and walked away with big strides.
The lawyer was left standing there, unable to understand why the driver would suddenly turn against them and would rather go to jail than be released on bail by them.
