v7 Chapter 55: Don't want to quit with candidates

When Li Jie met Peter Parker in class today, the optimistic and cheerful sunny teenager sat in his seat with a somber face.

Peter hasn't shown up for days, neither coming to class nor going to the base. Li Jie went to his house to find people who often couldn't see him, or simply hid in the room and couldn't come out.

His face is as ugly as the storm is coming. He sat silently in his seat without saying a word. The hand is turning the pages of the book randomly, but the eyes are not focused on the book. At a glance, it is a look of absent-mindedness.

"What's wrong with you?" Li Jie worried about Peter. "Don't influence you for those reports, Peter. You know, those journalists and the media like to catch the wind and catch the shadows, especially rumors. You have to understand all this, they are just for readers and bloggers."

Li Jie wants to keep Peter from being affected by media reports as much as possible. Recently, the media reports on Spider-Man are getting more and more excessive. Under the fan of the lawyer Lucar, the trend of public opinion is getting more and more strange.

That robber, Mark McHon was described by Lukal as a man with a short temper but no malice. Although he holds a pistol, he has a legal license to hold a gun. And the firearms held are the types of firearms allowed by civilians in New York State law.

In Lucar's description, Mark McHon has a certain anxiety disorder. At that time, he was eager to catch the bus and needed change, and the convenience store staff were too slow, and Mark McHon was too eager. So he took out his pistol and asked the shop assistant to quickly open the teller machine.

The important basis for his behavior not constituting a crime of robbery is the twenty-dollar banknote he left on the scene. This is higher than the value of the fifteen dollar banknotes he took away.

You know, the lawyer's job is to exonerate his clients. What the true story is is not important to Lucar. The important thing for him is that he wants to win this lawsuit.

Reversing black and white is a basic skill that a professional lawyer should master. Under Lucar's description, Mark McHon became a victim of violent law enforcement.

At the same time, Lukar said that Mark McHon had some aggressive behavior before him. That is, pointing the gun at the other party and letting the other party apologize for the change. And is willing to make financial compensation to the frightened shop assistant.

After some private transactions and compromises. Convenience stores do not pursue Mark McHon ’s behavior. The prosecution of the robbery filed by the police also faced huge problems.

Because Mark McHon pleaded guilty to his gun and threatening behavior. But refused to admit that he had committed robbery. The crime of intimidating others became difficult to investigate because Lukar issued a psychiatrist's diagnosis and determined that Mark McHon had a degree of anxiety.

Especially when Lukar privately found the convenience store clerk and boss, and after issuing a compensation they were willing to accept, the public prosecution became very difficult to proceed.

The original intent of the law should be fair and equitable, but in reality it is often for various reasons that this originally fair should be subject to various resistances. For example, a lawyer with no moral bottom line like Lucar.

After solving McMahon's own problems, he sued the New York police and Spider-Man. The crime of New York police is violent law enforcement, and the crime of Spider-Man is illegal detention.

The New York police lawsuit is about to officially start, but Spider-Man just became a gimmick because he could n’t find the defendant.

However, these two prosecutions still attracted a lot of attention from the New York media. Especially the Clarion Daily, although it is said that the editor of the Clarion Daily has been waiting for Spider-Man.

As long as there is any news about Spider-Man, he will smear Spider-Man's behavior throughout the book, and will turn it into a villain with a mask.

James generally let his reporters do these things. He rarely played himself in person. The recent horn daily newspaper seems to be crazy.

The editor-in-chief of James began to personally write the news. The headlines of the newspaper and the top news on the website were all written by him. And he slammed the New York police's handling level, and Spider-Man as a city pest is a cancer in this city.

He also began to criticize the inaction of the New York City authorities on this matter, and talked about the need for reform in New York City and so on. It seems that at a certain moment, James has changed from a newspaper editor to a human rights fighter who cares about the welfare of citizens.

The Horn Daily newspaper bites Peter and the New York police like a crazy dog. Li Jie can see James' long social commentary from this newspaper almost every day.

This made Li Jie put a question mark in his heart, what the **** was this ghastly editor doing? Is he going to completely stink Peter Parker? But what does this mean to him?

So Li Jie was a little worried that Peter was affected by these news comments. But Li Jie did not know the previous conversation between Peter and George at the dinner.

George's words made Peter feel the most uncomfortable. He doubted the correctness of being a superhero, and whether he was really fussy about it.

This thought flowed through his veins like venom, gnawing at his heart.

"It's okay Jason, I just want to be quiet. I feel a little tired recently." Peter smiled weakly. Peter was absent all day.

Even before school in the afternoon, the striker of the school basketball team, Eugene, stopped in front of Peter, and he didn't find it.

Eugene had not dealt with Peter and Li Jie for three years in high school. Especially before Peter became Spider-Man, he was almost always bullied by him.

Until that time in Central Park, when he was approached by the original gang and asked him to deliver drugs again, Eugene's personality changed a lot.

Perhaps it was after that that he understood some things, and his character is not in the madness of such claws. He began to mature and restrained, this character change also affected his playing style.

Eugene's basketball is more efficient now, and the team is more focused on his performance than on his own. This also allowed the Metropolitan High School basketball team to reach the top eight of the National League for the first time.

This summer, Eugene is expected to lead the school team to impact the national championship.

When he was in front of Li Jie and Peter, Li Jie thought he was looking for something again, but Eugene quickly explained his intentions.

"I'm sorry." Eugene whispered quickly.

"What?" Li Jie was a little surprised.

"I mean I'm sorry, for the **** I committed before. Including nothing to provoke you, Peter. The two are really sorry. The high school is about to end soon, more than a month. If I don't say it now, maybe There is no chance in the future. "Eugene's words surprised Li Jie and Peter.

"It's okay, man. Everyone is guilty." Li Jie and Peter shook their heads, saying Eugene didn't need such a formal apology.

The noise and contradictions of the student days are just some episodes in life. Sometimes even some important memories, many years later. The two opponents of the year got together, and maybe they could sit down and talk about each other's mutual stories, but instead became real friends.

Eugene looked at Li Jie and Peter and smiled. "Did you come to see the final quarterfinals, I can get tickets. Nice place!"

Li Jie and Peter glanced at each other. "Of course! We want to see our school team win the National Championship. We are waiting to see your trophy become the mvp of the National High School League!"

Eugene breathed a sigh of relief, and then happily confronted the two with their fingers, indicating that they should not forget their commitment.

On the way to school, Peter Parker spoke to Li Jie as if he had made up his mind. "I want to quit."

"What?" Li Jie didn't understand what Peter meant after a while.

"I mean, maybe Spider-Man should take a break. Maybe New York City doesn't need Spider-Man so much, you understand. Jason." Peter's tone was low.

"Why? Because of the rumors of the media? You have to know that those people are talking about some fart! These paparazzi have never taken a stand. As long as there is something that catches the eye, they will write what you do n’t care about!" Li Jie is difficult Believe what Peter said to himself.

What is the situation, Spider-Man decided to retire?

Peter didn't react much to what Li Jie said, he just shook his head. "Sorry, please forgive my selfishness and willfulness. I ..."

"Shut up!" Li Jie interrupted Peter without hesitation ~ www.novelhall.com ~ Listening to what you have to do now is to go home and roll onto your bed! Close your eyes to sleep, and then come to the base tonight to report. If you do n’t come, Harry and I go back to your house and drag you out! You can't beat us both! "

"I'll figure out what's so messy about these things recently. You better not trouble me more now! You know I have been busy enough recently." Li Jie's words were rude, but Peter smiled.

Li Jie, who turned away from Peter at the crossroads, was about to go to his home to see the newspaper kiosk on the roadside. A large poster hanging outside the newspaper kiosk caught his attention.

"The New York election is coming and a list of five candidates is released. Who can claim the throne of the mayor of New York." Li Jie looked at the giant poster with five candidates' photos and names arranged on it.

At this moment, Li Jie finally understood why the editor of the Clarion Daily had bitten Peter's news like a crazy dog.

With a mustache, combing his big back. The photo of James, the chief editor of the Clarion Daily, who looks like an old gentleman, is smiling on the poster.

And he is one of the candidates for mayor of New York City!
