The daily life of American drama detective

Chapter 554

"No! No! No!!!"

Saul Goodman's first reaction was that he was still trapped in the desert, had severe hallucinations, and was on the verge of death. This made him, who thought he had been saved, unable to accept the huge gap between heaven and earth, and screamed in panic. Speak up.

The old man, who was always calm and stable, also lost his mind for a few seconds, and the same thought flashed through his mind.

no way!
They have been tossing for a day and a night in the desert. If they were not supported by a strong will, they would have collapsed long ago.

Even so, the body is about to reach its limit.

Hallucinations are natural.

Not to mention the scene in front of me is indeed more like an illusion than reality.

They worked hard, carrying two bags of cash totaling 2 million dollars, and finally waited for the passing truck, but the truck driver's compartment was full of cash. I don't know how much these add up, but it is definitely more than 700 million dollars. I don't know how many times more knives.

Isn't this magical?
The most reasonable explanation is that they really couldn't survive the power of nature and entered the hallucination of the dying, and because the reason why they ended up like this this time was because of the 700 million dollars, so Satan mocked them before taking them away. Let them see more money and use this scene to make fun of them for not knowing what to do.

That's right!

He was very sane enough to know that both of them would be taken to hell by Satan.

Needless to say, Saul Goodman, who is a lawyer by profession, is the Devil's Advocate himself, not to mention that the other party is the Devil's Advocate among Devil's Advocates, and going to hell is going home.

Although he loves his family and regards his family as his faith, he has done a lot of things to go to hell for his family.

But he doesn't regret it.

Thinking of this, he recovered from the impact of a truckload of cash, looked around, and shouted to the still howling Coquettish Lawyer: "Shut up!"

"why?"

Better Call Saul Saul Goodman once again fell into self-destruction: "We are almost dead now, why don't you let me vent?!"

Snapped!
A crisp slap made the howling Counselor Saul shut up.

"Does it hurt? It's right if it hurts! The pain means it's not an illusion!"

The old man pursed his lips, wrinkled his nose, and his eyes became alert.

Encountering a truck full of cash is indeed magical enough to make people immediately think that this is an illusion, which is the devil's ridicule, but there is another possibility, that is, it is real.

Because reality is magical enough!

So it's not impossible!

This is the US-Mexico border, where countless drug lords and criminals are constantly coming and going. Not only drug lords can get a truckload of cash, but gunmen who robbed banks are also likely to do the same.

"Would you like to go?"

The truck driver honked his horn, and a calm voice came over.

"Mike?"

Coquettish Lawyer also came to his senses now, looking at the old man nervously, his eyes full of questions.

"Stay still!"

Old Mike gave a warning, took out a pistol from his backpack, hid it behind his back, and walked to the cab, leaving behind the tense Counselor Saul.

"who are you?"

Old Mike walked up to the cab, looked up at the truck driver, and asked with a serious expression.

"Is it important?"

The truck driver looked at him.

Old Mike was silent for a while, and insisted: "It's important!"

"Just think of me as a passing wise man."

The truck driver was expressionless.

"What can I do for you?"

Old Mike kept looking the truck driver in the eye.

"Get rid of that devil's advocate!"

The truck driver glanced in the rearview mirror: "Live a different ending."

"you know me?"

Old Mike saw the coquettish lawyer who was peeking there from the rearview mirror, and his expression became more serious.

"That's it."

The truck driver nodded: "You, an old man who should have retired, risked your life to walk with a devil's advocate in this desert, and you were obviously fooled by him.

And no matter what he can do for you, the beauty at this stage cannot conceal the tragic ending.

I don't mean you personally.

And the family you worked so hard for!

Wanting to cooperate with the Devil's Advocate to win a future with no worries for the family, that is the most stupid choice! "

"who are you?!"

Old Mike directly pulled out the gun from behind his waist and pointed it at the truck driver, asking.

The family is his reverse scale.

"Is this how you treat the person who gave you the water of life?"

The truck driver who was targeted by the gun remained calm.

"Feel sorry!"

Old Mike pressed the muzzle of the gun down, his eyes still insisted: "But I must know who you are, and why you know so much about my affairs!"

"What don't you understand?"

The truck driver asked back: "Do you not understand that being with a devil's advocate will not end well? Or do you not understand why the family you want to protect will be involved in the end? Anyone with a little brain can see this!

This Saul Goodman, who calls himself a lawyer, does have the temperament of a litigator, and he doesn't care about face at all, the kind who likes to take shortcuts.

Serious litigants will only sit in office buildings, not in the desert.

He should have helped you, and even provided you with a lot of benefits, so that you, a retired old man, wanted to use your spare energy to obtain better material guarantees for yourself and your family.

But he, who takes shortcuts, will drag you into hell sooner or later, and even the benefits you get from him, those material guarantees that you thought you gave your family to enable them to live a better life, will be dragged out. To be dragged into hell together!
So you may be good at tactics, calm, steady, and strong in execution, but in terms of strategy, you are too stupid! "

"Oh! I disagree with that!"

The old Mike who was saying something was lost in thought, but the coquettish lawyer who had been peeking and listening behind the car was startled, couldn't help but ran over, and instantly entered the state of a hippie smiling coquettish lawyer.

"I'm not that good! What devil's advocate, you're too famous! Those sitting in tall office buildings wearing suits and leather shoes are the real devil's advocates!
I'm just a little lawyer struggling to survive!
Ok!

I admit I take shortcuts sometimes, but you think I do?

In this society where class solidification is so serious, what can I do if I don’t try my best to find a crack?
Is it like what my elder brother said, preparing a stuffed toy at the entrance of the court every day to please the court staff, just so that she can provide me with a case so that I will not starve to death?

A case of 700 dollars!

It takes me many days of hard work!

But for those high-ranking lawyers, the price of an hour's consultation is only this price, or even higher, and this is not the bulk of their income!

The drought is the drought, the flood is the flood!
I also want to be that kind of lawyer, and I also want to enter that kind of law firm!

But can I do it?
I worked in the mail room of a law firm, went to law school in my spare time, and after all the hard work, finally got my bar license after many years!
I thought I could work as a lawyer in that law firm!
But even my elder brother doesn't agree with me working in it!

Because this law firm is his!
He does not allow me to tarnish the sacred profession of lawyers!

Because of what?
It's this so-called bullshit 'taking a shortcut'!
Heck!
I just got my lawyer's license and I hadn't done anything yet!
Why do you deny me completely? !

I admit that I did not do well in the past and let him, who is a big brother, be disappointed many times, but when I came to work in his law firm and saw his demeanor as a barrister, I really changed my mind and set him as my goal. Work hard!
Why don't you give me a chance?
This is still my dear brother!
Also the sacred law does not allow me to defile!

Aren't these big lawyers sitting in office buildings doing something that defames the law?

I am a roadside hawker, they are in high-end clubs.

Is there a difference in essence?

Who is nobler than whom? "

Lawyer Saul originally wanted to justify that he was not that kind of person, lest this mysterious and dangerous truck driver encourage Old Mike to kill him, the devil's advocate who would endanger his family, but when he talked about the past, he couldn't hold back his complaints any longer. The more I talk, the more excited I get.

These are his words from the bottom of his heart!

"Chuck was right!"

The truck driver said with a blank expression: "As your elder brother, he has seen your essence clearly, and knows that your nature is hard to change.

If you're just doing something else, these short cut ideas can help you get ahead.

But in the legal industry, your cleverness will kill you and the people around you!

The goddess of justice representing the law in the United States is a mute, she can't speak out, and the elite lawyers represented by your brother Chuck can make her pose as they want through the so-called due process.

Although they want more, they still have some constraints, and they won't tear their faces apart.

After all, everyone is watching!
But you are different!

You like to take shortcuts, and when you can really stand in front of the Lady Justice, you can't control yourself.

Once you have a whimsical idea, you will never be scruples about restraint, but will sneak around out of everyone's sight and forcibly attack the goddess of justice.

Maybe no one will notice at first.

But those who can watch the Lady Justice are smart people. Even if they don’t see your actions, they can still guess what you did secretly from the reaction of the Lady Justice.

Once or twice maybe forget it.

But if you do it too often, you will always be caught. At that time, you will be accused by everyone, and in order to cover up the crimes you have done, you will try your best to cover them up. For this reason, the people around you will inevitably be involved in you into it.

From life and career to a mess, to prison or even death.

Your big brother Chuck is definitely a real smart guy, and he saw your future early on, so he tried his best to keep you from entering this business.

You think that he despises you, beats you, and even envies you for always taking shortcuts, but the most important thing is that he wants to protect you!
But it seems that he didn't succeed, and he became the first victim of your shortcut! "

"No! You are wrong!"

Lawyer Saul shook his head and denied the truck driver's statement, but looking at the expressionless truck driver and then at the thoughtful old Mike, he couldn't keep the standard American smirk on his face, and his voice became louder , the expression became more and more ferocious.

"No!!! Chuck's death has nothing to do with me! His view of me was wrong! I had a chance to be a lawyer like him! He ruined it with his own hands! I was not destined to take this path! He forced it! It was him!!!"

"as long as you are happy."

The truck driver looked at the tearful Lawyer Saul, said something calmly, and then looked at Old Mike: "Get in the car?"

Old Mike put away his pistol, nodded to the truck driver, then walked to the back of the car, walked a few steps, stretched out his hand and grabbed the tearful and tortured Lawyer Saul, dragged him into the car, and locked him. After getting on the door, in the dark compartment, he patted the door, signaling the truck driver to leave.

The car started to start, swayed and started to move forward.

Inside the dark car.

Old Mike looked at the darkness, but what he thought of was the words of the truck driver, as if he had been slapped in the face.

Especially with the crying Lawyer Saul beside him as a comparison, it made him wake up like a dream.

Indeed, Better Call Saul helped him too.

But since meeting Better Lawyer Saul, life has become increasingly uncontrollable.

At one point, it even happened to the extent that the only family members he devoted himself to protecting, his daughter-in-law and granddaughter, were threatened face-to-face by the murderous drug dealer.

Although now there is a more sophisticated drug lord to help him resist all this, it seems that his family is safe, and the black money he earned can also be laundered through the drug lord's channels and become clean money that his granddaughter can use in the future.

But he is not a fool, it's just that at this point, he has no choice but to ignore that his daughter-in-law and granddaughter have entered the sight of even more vicious and old drug lords. If something happens, they will die without a place to die.

And no matter how secretive and prudent this sophisticated drug lord is, he is still a drug lord in the end, and he may be targeted at any time.

Once such a thing happens, can the money laundered through the other party's channels really be used by the granddaughter smoothly?
It can be said that the benefits and risks are completely what he does not want his family to accept.

But after embarking on this path, he has been unable to change himself.

Compared with the old Mike who just woke up from a dream, Better Call Saul can be said to be heart-wrenching.

If it were an acquaintance of his, if he dared to say that about him, he would either spit it back or dismiss it. He didn't think he was wrong.

After his eldest brother Chuck burned himself to death, he always acted indifferently, so indifferent that his beloved wife was very surprised and dissatisfied.

He insisted that it was his elder brother Chuck's fault. It was his elder brother Chuck who insisted on dealing with him, so he couldn't stand the destruction of his favorite career under his counterattack, and the glass heart was broken. He chose to set fire to the house and buried Own.

Please!

How many times has he had his ups and downs under the attack of his big brother Chuck?When is it not to get up again and regain strength?

Why can't big brother Chuck stand a little setback?
Just keep accusing him from above?

What does the death of such a big brother have to do with him?
What is his responsibility?
Can't his elder brother be so jealous of himself because he is the youngest son that his mother loves most, so that the setbacks caused by him can be infinitely magnified?
If that's true, it's the elder brother's responsibility, not him!

But now on the road, he met a wise man who claimed to be passing by. With just a few words, he stripped him clean and told him that it was because of him that his elder brother became like this!

The eldest brother is the biggest victim of his constant taking shortcuts, but this is not the last one.

This made him unable to resist breaking the defense.

Thinking of this, he couldn't bear it any longer, slammed on the car door, and shouted, "I want to make a call! I want to make a call!"
