Chapter 147 Chapter 147

Hugo kept recalling the things between his predecessor and Tracy in his mind, trying to describe the truth, but unfortunately he still had no idea. The opening of the movie "The goddess holding the torch in Columbia" has already cut in, forcing Hugo to focus on the big screen.

This experience of filming "Yihai Xiongfeng" was a pleasure for Hugo. The breakthrough in acting was the biggest gain. Hugo was also very curious. What kind of effect would the breakthrough he felt on the big screen be? Is it his own illusion or is it true.

The movie started with the case of dark and windy nights, attracting everyone's attention. Two soldiers broke into a room, stuffed another soldier's mouth with a rag, and tied it up, obviously with a bad intention. In the victim's terrified eyes, the movie opened.

In Washington, DC, the Office of the Director of Legal Affairs, Major Joanne Galloway, in military uniform, reported to the chief a criminal case in Cuba. Corporal Harold Dawson and Private Loudon Donnie entered the barracks of Private William San Diego and beat him. An hour later, San Diego died at the base hospital. After investigation, investigators believed that Dawson and Donnie were in order to prevent San Diego from reporting on the illegal shooting of Sen on the boundary line, and a hearing was about to be held.

In this case, which seemed to be unquestionable, Major Galloway suspected that it was a "red statute", so she asked to be appointed a lawyer for the case, and she volunteered to become a defense lawyer for Dawson and Doni. Unfortunately, the chief believed that Major Galloway would be an excellent investigator, but was not suitable to be a lawyer. So the department assigned a lawyer for the case: Daniel Kefi.

When Hugo appeared on the big screen, he was wearing a baseball costume and a baseball cap, and was practicing baseball hitting and receiving. Kefei was definitely a negotiator. While playing baseball, he argued with the defense lawyer, and easily won the greatest rights for his defendant, reducing his imprisonment from 30 days to 15 days restricted punishment.

Although Kefei is a very outstanding lawyer. He successfully handled forty-four cases in nine months in the Navy, his work attitude was obviously unsatisfactory. He was cynical and joined the Navy under the reputation and pressure of his father. He was not only late for meetings but never brought a pen. He ate apples when meetings. His enthusiasm for baseball was obviously greater than that of a lawsuit. Perhaps he had agile thinking and excellent eloquence. He was a good lawyer, but not a famous lawyer.

Kefei went to court only because of his revocation of his driver's license. In his opinion, if the case needs to be taken to court, they need not a lawyer but a pastor. In his opinion, the lawyer's responsibility is not to uphold justice, but to resolve matters before going to court at the minimum cost for the client. As Kefei's assistant, Sam Weinberg is responsible for "copywriting work". He does not want to bear any responsibility, but just provides basic help to Kefei.

Kefei only heard Galoway describe the case. San Diego, who has always performed very poorly in the army, believed that he had serious physical illness. In order to transfer the base, he wrote letters to various departments for help. Unfortunately, the sea was in the sea. Finally, San Diego wrote to the Navy Investigation Office that he could use evidence that Dawson illegally fired a foreign gun abroad in exchange for his right to be transferred.

Knowing all this, Kefi made a judgment. He believed that the case would most likely expose Guantanamo's disgrace and would embarrass the members' safety, including Colonel Nathan Jessip, so he concluded, "I will strive to be convicted of complicity and misconduct, and will be sentenced to twelve years."

In Kefei's opinion, this was the best choice for Dawson and Donnie, but his attitude made Galloway very dissatisfied. Even the defendant had arrived in Washington, and Kefei was still practicing baseball, which completely angered Galloway. She once had the idea of ​​submitting a replacement lawyer to the division department because she firmly believed that Dawson and Donnie were innocent. She hoped that a lawyer could come forward to clear their innocence, but obviously Kefei was not the best choice.

Galloway believes that Dawson and Doni have no motive for the crime, and there is something wrong with the cause of San Diego's death. Within two hours of San Diego's death, the forensic doctor could not determine the cause of death. However, two hours later, the forensic doctor believed that San Diego died of poisoning. Galloway suspected that this was a red statute case, and ridiculously, Kefi didn't know what a red statute was.

When the incident returned to the moment when San Diego wrote to the Naval Investigation Office, it was naturally known by the military commanders. Colonel Jessip was furious about it because in his opinion, San Diego was not only an incompetent navy, but also betrayed his own team members, reported his teammates to the commander, and also tried to expose the disgraceful and bad incidents within their army. In the army where obeying orders is the first rule, this is unforgivable.

Regarding this matter, the three commanders had a dispute. Lieutenant Colonel Markinson advocated that San Diego should be transferred from the base, not only because San Diego's request should be answered, but also that once San Diego's betrayal of his teammates was leaked, his military colleagues would not spare him.

But Colonel Jessip and Lieutenant Kendrick did not think so. Jessip believed that transferring San Diego was a cowardly act of escaping problems. He felt that training for San Diego should be increased to meet the military standards. Things within the military must be solved by military means. In order to achieve the goal of protecting the country, this is a necessary means. Lieutenant Kendrick is a loyal supporter of the colonel.

On the other hand, Dawson and Doni arrived in Washington, and obviously, neither of the soldiers understood the seriousness of the matter. Doni even praised himself for his arrival in the capital with excited eyes. They didn't know where they were, or even why they were arrested, and they thought that all this was just a simple follow order.

After Kefei arrived at the inquiry room, he saw that the two soldiers who were meticulous in obeying the orders were very uncomfortable, but he still patiently asked his own question, "What is the red regulations?"

"It's a kind of admonition." Dawson replied without squinting, "If a Marine falls behind, you can use this to help the team keep up with the team."

"What are the specific patterns of the red regulations?" Kefei still doesn't understand these internal affairs of the army very well. "To explain it, what does the red regulations mean."

"Sir," even though Cafe emphasized three times not to call him the sir, Dawson insisted, "For example, if a team member refuses to take a bath according to regulations, his teammates will give him a military bath brush and a wire brush."

"Did San Diego accept red regulations?" Kefi asked.

"Yes, sir." Dawson replied affirmatively.

Kefi then asked about some details about Donnie. Donnie did not apply any poison or medicine on the rag. They just planned to shave their heads for San Diego, but suddenly San Diego started bleeding from his mouth, so they called an ambulance. Unfortunately, no one saw them calling, and when the ambulance came, they had been arrested.

Under Weinberg's inquiry, Dawson admitted that he fired a gun on the Cuban border on August 2 because he saw suspicious actions in his corresponding Cuban post. The reason why he enforced the red regulations on San Diego was not because San Diego wanted to report him, but because San Diego's cross-level action. He put aside his own team and reported to his superiors if there were any problems, and then went up one by one. He enforced the red regulations just to hope that before educating San Diego to take into account the collective and respect order.

"Team, army, God, nation." This is the order of the Marine Corps.

The prosecution lawyer Jack Ross is an old friend of Kefi. Ross provides the prosecution's conditions, and as long as they plead guilty, they will only be sentenced to twenty years in prison. But Kefi did not accept it. He only accepted the sentence of twelve years. Kefi and Weinberg both found Dawson and Doni guilty, but only tried to find ways to reduce their sentence. Weinberg even believed that the two soldiers should spend the rest of their lives in prison.

When Kefi introduced the red regulations to Ross, Ross first recognized the "twelve years" punishment, and then reminded his friends, "Lt. Jonathan Kendrick summoned his subordinates and specifically instructed him not to touch San Diego." Although Ross had agreed to Kefi's punishment, Kefi was unwilling to nod at the moment. He realized that there seemed to be a hidden situation in it and something was wrong, so Kefi decided to go to Guantanamo and come back before making a decision.

At the same time, Galloway was authorized by Aunt Doni and became Doni's agent, joining Kefi and Weinberg to Guantanamo in Cuba.

Because Cuba is too hot, in order to avoid dark clothes absorbing heat, Weinberg suggested that Kefie go to Guantanamo in white uniforms. But he didn't expect that he would get the advice of the soldiers as soon as he got off the plane. It was best to wear camouflage here, because the officers who saw white uniforms in Cuba would think they were important people and could easily make them targets.

Such a lack of common sense behavior is naturally very disdainful in Colonel Jessip's eyes. Kefi's official meeting with Jessip seemed a little gunpowder. Jessip knew Kefi's father, and he said to Lieutenant Kendrick, "His father offended many people in your hometown. Jefferson and Madison area schools fought a lawsuit. The locals opposed a black girl going to a white school to attend. Leonard Kefi said, "Let's wait and see." Listening to Jessip's tone, he obviously looked down on Kefi's father's actions, and felt that the other party was just full and had nothing to do.

Under the leadership of Lieutenant Kendrick, Kefi and others visited the crime scene in detail, learned about the timeline of the incident development again, and learned about Kendrick's meeting on "Not to Touch San Diego", and deeply realized Kendrick's contempt for San Diego's death.

In addition, Kefi also unexpectedly learned that Jessip actually signed the transfer order from San Diego and took the first flight to the United States at 6:00 the next morning to leave the base. Unfortunately, San Diego was unable to wait for the sun the next day.

But Galoway was firmly attached to the red regulations, because in February this year, Jessip received a memorandum from the commander-in-chief, prohibiting Jessip from continuing to use the red regulations, which obviously angered Jessip. "Three hundred yards away when I had breakfast, there were 4,000 well-trained Cubans who wanted to kill me, so don't think you can come here to show off your power!" He gave Galoway a harsh warning, leaving Galoway speechless and almost unable to say anything.

Before leaving, Kefi asked Jessip to present a copy of the order to transfer, which angered Jessip again, "Do you know? Danny, I can handle the bullets and bullets. I don't need money or medals. What I want is you in a sissy white uniform standing there, using your Harvard-trained mouth, and giving me a little damn respect. You must make a polite request to me!"

Kefei was a little confused, but she still politely spoke up again and made her request, which was answered positively by Jessip this time.
