Just thinking about it, the Chinese female prison guard hurriedly ran to her dining table and said with joy, “Sister Lan, Sister Lan! There is good news, Sister Lan!”
Seeing her excited face, Ma Lan suddenly thumped in her heart, and couldn’t help but blurt out and asked, “What’s the good news? It made you so excited.”
The female prison guard hurriedly explained: “Sister Lan, your lawyer is here!”
“My lawyer?!” Ma Lan’s expression instantly froze, and she exclaimed, “Is that James White? What is he doing?!”
The female prison guard said excitedly: “He came to meet you, saying that there is a great news to convey to you in person.”
Ma Lan was stunned for a while, then frowned: “Could it be… Did he clear my suspicions?!”
The female prison guard said without hesitation: “It should be, otherwise, how can it be called Tianda’s good news?! Sister Lan, congratulations to you, you will be cleared of suspicion and your freedom will be restored soon!”
Ma Lan’s expression was a bit depressed, and he thought to himself: “But I don’t want to recover my freedom now… If I recover my freedom now, how can I be a ghost in Bedford Mountain? worry?”
Seeing that Ma Lan was a little lost, the female prison guard couldn’t help but reminded: “Sister Lan, the lawyer is waiting in the interview room now. Do you want to come over first?”
After she said that, she quickly said: “Sister Lan, why don’t you eat first, it’s the same when you’re full and then go there. Just let the lawyer wait in the meeting room for a while.”
Ma Lan always felt a little uneasy in her heart. What was going on, she had to see James White before she could know.
So, she stood up and said, “Take me to see him first, otherwise I really can’t eat this meal!”
With that said, Ma Lan followed the female prison guard to the interview room of the correctional institution.
At this point, New York’s most famous criminal lawyer, James White, was already waiting here.
Seeing Ma Lan come in, he immediately stood up and said in Chinese with great respect: “Hello, Ms. Ma, we meet again.”
Ma Lan nodded absentmindedly, and then asked him, “What’s the matter with you coming to see me?”
James White said with a smile: “Ms. Ma, I came here to tell you a good news. The woman who handed the contraband to you at the airport has finally been brought to justice!”
“What?!” Ma Lan blurted out, “Did you mean Zong Qiuhua?”
James White explained: “The woman’s real name is not Zong Qiuhua, her name is…”
Ma Lan waved his hand impatiently, interrupted him, and said, “I don’t care what her name is, I just want to know what the state of this matter is now.”
James White thought that Ma Lan couldn’t wait to go out, so he said excitedly: “According to my informant in the NYPD, that woman has confessed to the police what she did, and the police can now basically confirm that You are innocent, however, the police still need to go through some legal process, and when the process is over, they will issue a certificate that you do not know anything about it, and then issue a file to Bedford Hill Correctional Institution, and then you will be free.”
When Ma Lan heard this, he quickly asked, “Then when will they let me out?”
James White looked at the time and replied: “I’m afraid it’s a bit boring today, but it’s definitely not a problem tomorrow!”
“Ah?!” Ma Lan blurted out with a look of disappointment: “Then what… can’t we let them slow down for a few more days?”
