"ah?!"
Ma Lan seemed to have heard the cruelest words in the world and blurted out: "How come I was discharged from the hospital so quickly?! If I am discharged from the hospital, wouldn't I have to go to the detention center?!"
The female doctor said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Ms. Ma, what are your plans after you are discharged from the hospital? I really don't know this, you still have to ask the police."
Ma Lan cried and said: "Doctor, it shouldn't be difficult for you to issue a certificate stating that my injury is serious, right? Just act as a helper and issue one for me. My old bones really can't stand up to the detention center."
It’s a struggle.”
The female doctor said helplessly: "Ms. Ma, this kind of thing cannot be faked in the United States. If I issue such a certificate to you, the police will definitely find other doctors to review it. If they find that my certificate is false,
, then I will never be qualified to practice medicine again in this life.”
Ma Lan hurriedly said: "What you said is just a matter of probability. It may not really happen. Just take pity on me and help me... I have been to the detention center before and was beaten inside.
I broke a leg. I don’t know what kind of environment it is there. If I were allowed to go in again, I might really be bullied to death..."
The female doctor shook her head repeatedly and blurted out: "Sorry, Ms. Ma, this is a matter of principle. I really can't help you."
Ma Lan gritted his teeth and blurted out: "Doctor, if not, you might as well break another rib of mine. If I break two ribs, you can't drive me away from the hospital anymore, right?"
The female doctor said awkwardly: "Ms. Ma, if I really do this, it won't be a matter of revoking my medical qualification. Maybe I will go in before you, and then the two of us may be inmates in the prison."
.”
After saying that, she immediately changed the subject and said: "By the way, Ms. Ma, you want to have millet, ginseng and lobster porridge for breakfast, right? I'll make arrangements right away, please wait a moment."
After saying this, the female doctor quickly turned around and left the ward without waiting for Ma Lan to speak.
When Ma Lan was desperate, James White, the top criminal lawyer in New York, knocked on the door and walked in. When he saw her, he smiled and asked: "Ms. Ma, did you have a good rest last night?"
As soon as Ma Lan saw the lawyer come in, she immediately rekindled her hope and asked quickly: "Lawyer White, I heard the doctor said that I will be discharged from the hospital at noon today. What is going on?"
James White explained: "The police reviewed your medical records this morning and met with your attending doctor. Based on the feedback from your attending doctor, the police believe that you no longer need to stay in the hospital for treatment.
, so you will be discharged from the hospital at noon today."
Ma Lan blurted out: "Do I have to go to the detention center after I leave the hospital? I don't want to go to the detention center!"
James White said seriously: "Ms. Ma, I understand your feelings very well, but first you need to know what kind of case you are suspected of, carrying more than five kilograms of contraband out of the country. If you are found guilty of this crime, you will never
You may be able to walk out of jail. For such a serious case, although I am confident that I can help you clear your name, you must have an accurate understanding in your own mind. If you don’t even want to go to a detention center, then I can only say that you are thinking a little bit.
Too much, or thinking a little too optimistically.”
When Ma Lan heard this, he quickly complimented: "Lawyer White, you scolded a lot of police officers yesterday so much that they didn't even dare to let go. You look like a top barrister with great ability. Please help me again."
Think of a way..."
James White said solemnly: "Ms. Ma, I will do my best to help you clear your name, but I can't really do anything about what you just said. I have already seen your pre-trial judge, and the other party
The request is that there will be no bail, so you will definitely have to stay in the detention center for a while. The specific length of stay depends on how long it takes for the police to catch Chen Liping and Zong Qiuhua."
Ma Lan suddenly fell to the bottom and swallowed: "Then if I can't catch them, won't I never be able to get out for the rest of my life?"
James White explained: "If they are still unable to be caught, I will do my best to defend you as innocent, but it may take a little longer, so please understand."
When Ma Lan saw that James White was not relaxed at all, she knew that she would inevitably have to go to the detention center today, and she felt despair in her heart.
After her last experience, she was really afraid of places like the detention center.
Especially this time she was in the United States, a foreign country with which she was unfamiliar, so she was even more frightened and uneasy about the detention centers in the United States.
But she never dreamed that if Marven was willing, he could ask James White to get a diagnosis certificate for Ma Lan and let Ma Lan stay in the hospital.
If Mei Yuzhen can be caught as soon as possible, Ma Lan may not even have to wait to enter the detention center, and the suspicion can be completely cleared.
But Ye Chen felt that if that happened, Ma Lan would definitely not learn a lesson.
That's why he specifically asked Fei Jianzhong to tell James White not to let Ma Lan stay in the hospital for too long and send her to the detention center today.
At this time, James White saw Ma Lan's desperate expression and comforted him: "Ms. Ma, your son-in-law is already helping you find connections to solve the case as soon as possible, so you don't have to worry too much. You will stay in the detention center for ten and a half days.
It should come out soon."
Ma Lan knew that she had no other choice but to wait, so she nodded lightly.
Although she had every reluctance in her heart, she could only accept her fate at this moment.
Seeing that Ma Lan was in a very low mood, James White said again: "Ms. Ma, after you go to prison, I will arrange for our staff to deposit enough funds in your prison account so that you can
You can buy whatever you need inside, and in the prison, you can call your family during release time, and then you can call your daughter and son-in-law."
Hearing that she could make phone calls to the outside world, Ma Lan's mood eased a little.
From the time she was arrested until now, she misses her daughter and son-in-law very much. However, except for the first phone call with them, she has never had the opportunity to contact them.
So, Ma Lan said to James White with a sad face: "Lawyer White, please tell my son-in-law and ask him to do it as soon as possible. Whether I, an old man, can return to China alive depends on him...
…”
James White nodded and said seriously: "Don't worry, Ms. Ma, my mobile phone is with the police at the door. I will contact your son-in-law after I get it back."
With that said, James White added: "By the way, Ms. Ma, remember to ask the hospital to prepare a rich lunch for lunch. After lunch, the police will take you directly to the detention center. I still have a lot of related work to deal with, so in the meantime
I won’t come over.”
Ma Lan quickly asked: "Lawyer White, which prison will I be sent to?"
James White replied: "Ms. Ma, at the request of the judge, you will be sent to Bedford Hills Correctional Facility in upstate New York."
Ma Lan asked: "Is the correctional facility not as serious as the prison?"
"No." James White explained: "Although the name is the Correctional Institution, it is actually the only women's prison in New York that specifically holds serious criminals and suspected felons..."
