Chapter 1238: Chapter 1238: 21-Day Competition (Purple Sumrs Zhuang Jia Allen Rivera)
“This person is quite idealistic.” Purple Sumrs said with a smile, “He has an eye for investnt, is willing to lose money to do what he loves, and has a very open-minded attitude towards life.”
“Open-minded?” Alexander Sumrs sneered, “Opening a bookshop in Pearlpoint, a city full of casinos, I think he’s mostly a fool.”
After speaking, he muttered, “But being a bit foolish isn’t that bad.”
He was really afraid that Atra Blanc might et soone cunning again, who would leave her completely devoured.
Purple Sumrs chuckled, “You call him foolish, but maybe he’s wisely playing dumb! Even if he is truly foolish, it’s fine, since the mayor is watching over him, nothing will go wrong. He even investigated the loss incurred by opening the bookshop. Haha, who can trick you?”
Alexander Sumrs reached out and pinched her waist, “Getting more cheeky, aren’t you?”
Purple Sumrs held her lips and laughed continuously.
Alexander Sumrs still had to go to the city hall for a eting in the afternoon. He fixed his tie, bent down, and kissed each of the three sleeping children, then wrapped his arms around Purple Sumrs and kissed her lips.
“There’s a eting today, if I don’t co back for dinner, you and mom go ahead without waiting for .”
Purple Sumrs also kissed him and smiled, “Co back early.”
After Alexander Sumrs left, Purple Sumrs felt a bit drowsy. Rarely had the little ones not been making a fuss, so she took the opportunity to rest.
She had been sleeping for about an hour when her phone on the table buzzed.
Purple Sumrs, worried about waking the kids, went to the next room to answer the call.
As soon as she picked up, Allen Rivera’s voice ca through, “Purple Sumrs, are you free to talk? I need your help with a case.”
Purple Sumrs was stunned and asked uncertainly, “Is it for investigation or defense?”
Allen Rivera was a prosecutor responsible for indictnts, while Purple Sumrs was a lawyer. She could only help with defense.
“It’s a murder case, I suspect it’s related to Black Rose.” Allen Rivera’s voice was low and calm, “The convict has been sentenced to death, but I think the prosecution might’ve made a mistake…”
“You think?” Purple Sumrs frowned, her voice tightening slightly, “Do you have any evidence?”
“He passed the lie detector test.” Allen Rivera replied.
Purple Sumrs said, “Lie detectors aren’t 100% accurate. So people with exceptional psychological composure can easily pass the test.”
“But he isn’t the type with exceptional psychological composure.” Allen Rivera said gravely.
Purple Sumrs fell silent.
No evidence, just the result of a lie detector test, and now he wants her to defend a death row convict? Has Allen Rivera gone mad?
No, Allen Rivera isn’t crazy. On the contrary, Allen Rivera is extrely rational.
If anyone else had made this request to Purple Sumrs, she might suspect emotional bias, but Allen Rivera wasn’t one to act on emotion. Surely, he must’ve found so undeniable discrepancy in this case to make such a request.
Purple Sumrs thought for a mont, then sighed and said, “Alright, I’ll find ti to et with him and understand the situation, then I’ll help him apply for an appeal. By the way, how much ti is left until his execution?”
On the other end, there was about two seconds of silence before Allen Rivera said, “Including today, he has 21 days.”
Purple Sumrs closed her eyes, breathing deeply.
“Allen Rivera, are you serious?” she asked.
21 days, faced with an already concluded case, to investigate, gather evidence, prepare materials, then proceed with the appeal process — only 21 days!
“Yes.” Allen Rivera said in a low voice, “If it’s you, it can be done.”
“Allen Rivera, I have three kids to take care of…”
“I know, but he only has 21 days left.” Allen Rivera said softly, “You asked to investigate the chat group issue, following this lead I ca across this murder case. The victim had a black gemstone ring shaped like a rose, I’m certain this case has to do with the Black Rose case, but the person in prison really isn’t the murderer.”
