Seeing that Elaine wanted to contact her family, the policewoman nodded, “Good, you have the right to contact your family and have your family arrange a lawyer for you in a criminal case.”
After that, she took out Elaine’s mobile phone, handed it to Elaine and spoke, “Remember you can only call your family or your lawyer, if you call your accomplice to inform him, it will only make you more guilty!”
Elaine cried, “Do you not understand human language? I’ve already told you that I was wrongly accused and victimised, where is the accomplice?”
The policewoman said indifferently, “It is not up to you or me to decide whether you were wrongly accused or whether you were victimized, but when the trial starts, the judge’s verdict will prevail.”
Elaine gave the policewoman a gambling look, then immediately picked up her mobile phone and called Claire.
Claire received the call and the first thing she said when she picked up was to ask Elaine, “Mom, have you boarded the plane yet?”
As soon as Elaine heard her daughter’s voice, the aggression and fear in her heart instantly exploded and she cried out, “Claire …… My good daughter …… You must save mommy, if you don’t save mommy, she will die in America ……”
Claire suddenly became nervous and quickly asked, “Mom what’s wrong with you?!”
Elaine cried, “It’s the friend that Sister Chen introduced me to, she asked me to bring her a piece of luggage to Hong Kong Island, but it turned out that before I even got on the plane, the police arrested me, saying that a large amount of contraband was found inside my luggage, saying that there were more than five thousand grams …… Now they have arrested me and crushed one of my ribs …… Now I have to inform my lawyer …… What am I going to do ……”
She said, crying helplessly and painfully, “Claire, tell Charlie wade quickly, tell Charlie wade to hurry up and find a good and reliable lawyer for mum, saying that nothing can make mum go to jail in America!”
“What?!” Claire felt dazed and confused, and immediately became disoriented, quickly looked at Charlie wade and said in fear: “Honey …… Mum she …… She was arrested by the police …… The police said they found a lot of contraband in her luggage and broke one of her ribs …… What’s going to happen ……”
In fact, Charlie wade had already heard what Elaine had said on the phone.
At this moment he immediately recalled that he had previously felt that Sister Chen’s family didn’t seem right, but now it seemed that it was estimated that her family were all just actors who were cooperating with her performance.
The persona of successful people and enthusiastic overseas Chinese was nothing more than a persona set up to deceive fellow countrymen.
And the fundamental reason why that Chen had been very warm to Elaine was actually to use her to transport contraband to Hong Kong Island.
Claire had already panicked at this point, she couldn’t control the tears flowing out of her eyes and asked Charlie wade: “Honey …… What should I do now? …… The police said they want mum to hire a lawyer or they will a*sign one ……”
Charlie wade nodded and said, “You tell mum not to talk nonsense inside for now, I’ll get help from my clients in the US and arrange for an experienced lawyer to go over.”
Claire was busy asking, “Honey, is your client in New York professional in this area? Does he have resources in this area?”
Charlie wade said seriously, “Don’t worry, she’s still a bit powerful in New York, so it shouldn’t be a problem to arrange a good lawyer, and it’s definitely much better than the public lawyer arranged by the police.”
Claire said, “Then you should call your client and ask her for help …… Mum said that the police told her that if this matter is not cleared, I am afraid that she will be sentenced to life imprisonment.”
Charlie wade was very calm and said, “This kind of thing cannot be rushed, you only need to remember one thing, Elaine herself subjectively certainly can’t, knowing that it is contraband and still deliberately carry it, so as long as you can prove this, you can prove that she is innocent, then also don’t have to bear any criminal consequences.”
When Elaine on the other end of the phone heard Charlie wade’s words, she cried and said, “Good son-in-law, the reason is indeed what you said, but the key is that if no one is caught, there will be no proof of death ……”
