Jakel and his assistant then walked to the interrogation room.
As soon as the police officer pushed the door open, Jakel immediately said to the two police officers in charge of the interrogation, “Guys, the interrogation is over now. From now on, I want to communicate with my client in private. Please leave.”
The two police officers in charge of the interrogation recognized Jakel immediately. They were too shocked to speak, but their colleague, who had just opened the door, quickly said, “Come out quickly and let Mr. White speak to his client in private.”
Only then did the two men nod hastily and then rush to pick up the transcript and run out the door.
Jakel said to the police officer next to him, “My client doesn’t understand American law, and she has a language barrier. She hasn’t met with her lawyer yet, so if there are any threatening or inducing elements in your transcript, you’d better invalidate it. Don’t let me catch anything, otherwise, I will definitely challenge it in court!”
The several people present suddenly felt a little pressure.
To the police officers, Jakel was like the most critical teacher who was marking a test. Sometimes, you’d think that you had answered everything flawlessly, but he would still be able to find some small problems and deny all your efforts.
Therefore, they were very nervous at this time, especially since Elaine had also broken a rib. When Jakel came, he instantly made this matter extremely passive.
Elaine also vaguely heard this hard-spoken man, and she assumed that this must be the lawyer that her dear son-in-law had found for her. She felt that she had met her savior at once and cried out excitedly in a loud voice, “Help me, lawyer! The police officer is beating people up and even broke one of my ribs!”
When the two Oskian-American police officers heard this, they instantly broke out in cold sweats out of nervousness.
Jakel had long learned the Oskian dialect fluently in order to cater to top Oskian families like the Fox family.
So, when he heard this, his expression became extremely angry, and he yelled coldly, “You have injured my client, which is a serious violation of the law and police enforcement rules, but even so, you still did not send my client to the doctor in time, but continued to interrogate my seriously injured client here. This is simply inhumane! I want to check your law enforcement recorder and report this matter to your superiors immediately!”
“Well...” The division chief said in embarrassment, “We are all police officers and not qualified to practice medicine...”
Jakel said sternly, “Without the qualification to practice medicine, what makes you think my client's injury is not serious? Are your eyes all medical CT grades? What if my client has internal bleeding or ruptured internal organs? Can you afford to take responsibility for this?”
All the police officers looked at each other as if they did not know how to respond.
At this time, Jakel continued, “You have enforced the law using violence, showed contempt for the law and for life, and this has simply refreshed my understanding of the New York police!”
After saying that, he changed the subject and said more sternly, “Since my client is from Oskia, I ask that you show your previous handling of cases after encountering other injured suspects. If it is found that you’re only targeting my client and did not give her medical treatment, I have reason to suspect that you’re showing racial discrimination against people of color!”
