About three o'clock in the afternoon.

When Bloomberg and Abel were talking on the stern deck of the Ovitz.

New York, in the Manhattan District Attorney's Office.

There are also people talking.

Prosecutors are a characteristic of the American judicial system. This group of people can be simply understood as the police with the characteristics of government lawyers.

They are generally responsible for investigating cases, deciding whether to prosecute, summoning witnesses, conducting plea bargains, and recommending penalties based on guilty verdicts.

U.S. prosecutors are divided into two categories: federal prosecutors and local prosecutors.

In addition, there is a special prosecutor—an independent prosecutor.

Prosecutors belong to the executive branch.

All prosecutors must have a lawyer's license.

Different types of prosecutors prosecute different types of crimes.

There is no affiliation between the three types of prosecutors; they are just responsible for different directions.

Like the Manhattan District Attorney's Office, which is the district attorney.

District attorneys prosecute most criminal cases in the United States and are not accountable to anyone.

Therefore, this group of people has great power and is difficult to influence.

Even when the commander-in-chief was in office, he was unable to influence these people.

The only ones the commander-in-chief can control are federal prosecutors and independent prosecutors.

The local prosecutors are usually elected through elections, just like the election of the chief executive.

Like now Manhattan District Attorney Robert Morgenthau.

He has stayed in this position for 25 years.

Two reasons,

One is that he does his job very well.

another,

In the election of local prosecutor, no one has ever defeated him.

Then he can continue to hold the position until he is kicked out by others.

Either he doesn't want to be a pawn himself, or he dies.

Prosecutor's Office,

Inside the separate offices of the Financial Crime Group.

Prosecutor Mr. Sellers, head of the financial crimes prosecution team, brought three takeaways into his office.

in the office,

Peggy Morgenthau, deputy leader of the Financial Crime Prosecution Team, and member Alex were quickly flipping through documents.

"guys."

After Cyrus opened the door and came in, he raised what he was holding and said, "It's time to eat something. We haven't eaten yet until this morning."

Peggy and Alex looked up, and Peggy Morgenthal also looked at the clock on the wall.

Peggy: "Wow, it's already three o'clock. No wonder I'm so hungry."

Alex also smiled and said: "Me too."

Cyrus shook his head, "Then what are you waiting for? I ordered Chinese pasta today. It tastes very good. I have eaten it many times."

"Chinese pasta? Is there such a thing?" Peggy Morgenthal put down the documents in her hand and took the takeout box that Cyrus handed her.

Alex did the same and quickly opened the box.

Looking at the noodles in the box, Alex shook his head and said:

"There is no Chinese pasta. Pasta is pasta. This is Chinese noodles."

Cyrus was surprised, "Wow, Alex. I didn't expect you to know this.

Oh, by the way. Last month, you just traveled to Daiwan."

By this time, Peggy Morgenthau had already opened the takeout box and started eating.

After hearing the conversation between the two, the young lady shook her head and said, "This is not Chezi noodles, this is Dandan noodles."

"What's the difference? They're all the same." Cyrus sat down, opened his own box, and started eating too.

"Of course they are different." Peggy Morgenthau said: "One is from Sichuan and the other is from Daiwan."

"It's like the difference between Texas and Los Angeles."

"Okay." Cyrus shrugged and said with a smile as he ate, "So that's why I like to work overtime.

Look, doesn’t this add a new piece of knowledge?”

The three prosecutors began to eat their late lunch.

A meal of what Cyrus calls "Chinese spaghetti."

Among the three,

Peggy Morgenthau quickly finished the box of Chinese noodles at a speed that did not match her beauty and temperament.

After eating, she tidied up a little.

After cleaning up, she looked at her boss Cyrus and her colleague Alex.

The two of them ate a little slowly because the eating utensils provided with the takeout set were chopsticks.

Alex is okay, although he looks a little clumsy.

But I do know how to use chopsticks.

Cyrus doesn't know how to use chopsticks at all, and uses chopsticks purely with the knife and fork technique.

This makes him eat the slowest.

Peggy Morgenthal is very skilled with chopsticks.

Plus I was a little impatient, so I finished it as quickly as possible.

"Three days."

After filling her stomach, Peggy Morgenthau looked at her two colleagues.

She said: "We have been investigating Abe Smith and his company for three days."

"But in three days, we found nothing."

She took the pile of documents on her right hand side, brought it to the middle, and held it with both hands.

"Cyrus, you said there must be something wrong with him."

"I also trust your judgment."

"But it's been three days. Our entire team has not found anything wrong with him until now."

Talking about work while eating is not exclusive to Chinese people.

Those who are more curly and diligent like this.

Cyrus seemed to want to discuss work after dinner, but young Alex didn't think so.

Alex said: "Things are indeed very difficult. No one thought that the guy under investigation would do these things."

His expression looked a little confused, but more of a puzzlement and disbelief.

"Is this really a Wall Street guy?

Is he really running a financial company, not a charity company?"

"Yeah." Peggy Morgenthau said:

"Tax returns, transaction records, personal contacts, third-party informants, there is no evidence that this guy has violated regulations."

"Oh, these things." She said:

"Not even proof. Cyrus, you are the most experienced of us.

Now what do you think we should do next?”

By this time, Alex had also finished the noodles, and Cyrus had half of the noodles left.

Cyrus usually likes this taste, but now I think it's a bit bland.

Cyrus put down his chopsticks, which he used in the same manner as a knife and fork.

"I have been checking these things you have checked for three months. The results are the same as yours."

Cyrus said: "But... it's like Alex said.
