Wine and Gun

Chapter 553

So, Emma Grant left the firm thirteen months after Herstal Armalette shot Slade, and she persisted for so long only because she had never been able to find a new job : She was one of the last employees to leave here.

Meanwhile, Holmes was ready to pack his bags and head to New York State to find another way out: He had hoped to help Armalette win his case to earn his "reputation." That's certainly not a good name, but for some of their potential clients, like a murderer who's going to get a lawsuit, they don't care. Unfortunately, he also failed, and no one expected any witnesses to reverse the confession on the spot, and it was to be expected that Amalette was sentenced to a prison sentence that was as long as a life sentence.

Unexpected is his escape, and a series of events that followed. By 2018, neither the Westland pianist nor the Sunday gardener committed crimes. Most people believed that the two of them had already fled to Mexico. People in Westland were still living as usual, and there were still people every day Died in a shooting, it didn't make it a safer city.

It has been a long time since Christmas 2017 when Emma left, but there are still people talking about the case of the Church of Our Lady of the Rosary in the streets, and many people believe that Amalette must be the culprit. Her job search hasn't gotten any better, with some people believing that the murderer's aides couldn't have been ignorant of the bloody crimes, and others that those lunatics would one day return from farther afield and have a good understanding of their side. Everyone who ever took bloody vengeance.

After the closing of the A\u0026H office, the vacated office has never been rented out. The rumors of the building being haunted have intensified. Many small internet celebrities on Instagram have sneaked into the grand but lonely door to secretly shoot videos, vowing to To find "Amalet's dead body embedded in the wall".

At times, Emma felt that she was no different from this building, and some relentless conspiracy theorists and strange murder enthusiasts peeped outside the fence of her house on Pinter Street, but no one was willing to give her a job.

She has tried to take on a few cases as a person, but real life is not "Legal Blonde" - she has ambition, outstanding education, and work experience in complex criminal cases, but at the same time she She's a young woman with blonde hair and a bust that's a little above average, so most people choose not to trust her ability to work.

Emma got a call at Christmas 2018 from her father, whose parents and two older brothers both live in Kansas, where her family has a sprawling farm that grows wheat like all the surrounding farmers.

"Amy," her father said on the phone, sounding hesitant enough, "you know, you can go home if your life in Westland isn't going your way, it's always your bedroom. "

What an easy choice to go back to my hometown and live with my parents. Her parents lived in a town of a few hundred people, and the only place she needed a lawyer might be drafting a contract with a wheat buyer. Topeka's law firm may not care if she's ever been a psycho killer paralegal, but...

It was still snowing on Christmas this year, and Emma watched the falling snow outside the window while she was on the phone. The original A\u0026H law firm in the house she rented was very close. Sitting by the window, she could see the tall buildings standing outside. The high-rise lights were like beacons swaying in the gray-white sea.

"Wait a minute," Emma whispered into the receiver, "I think we'll see after the Christmas break... Maybe next year it won't be the case."

Emma knew very well that she would say the same again next year. Maybe she should leave the city like Holmes and look for opportunities in New York or elsewhere. But—but there was something about Westland that attracted her. This trait would be called "the smell of crime emanating from the yīn ditch", but she herself would never admit it.

If she had to describe it...because Westland is the right place, it's the right city. She feels more fulfilled when she helps someone who is sure to be convicted get away with it than when she helps someone get her fair share.

(She should know the weirdness of the other party, and understand the dark tones hidden under the human skin; they are lawyers fighting murderers, and she should know the truth when she smells that)

Her father loves her, but her father will never know the truth about her choosing to stay in the city. She chose to stay here because something dark in the city beckoned her, something that gave her the thrill of challenge and the glory of success—her father gave her a copy for her tenth birthday Verne's "Captain Grant's Children", because the protagonist in the story shares her surname, her father wanted her to be as free and brave as the Captain's children in the book, always brave to challenge nature.

Yet it took years for her to face her own heart: she disdains to conquer nature, so the people in the story travel around the world along a parallel line of latitude. The most exciting thing in her eyes is always the victory of mankind over mankind, the defeat of the enemy within the framework of the rules.
