"In other words, just make sure she has a normal life in the United States, don't be too good, just ordinary citizens! This is not a high requirement, right? Elizabeth Harmon dared to slap the chessboard in Moscow in the face of her opponent. I want to remind you that so far, the United States has not had a chess world championship trophy, not a single one, and the Russians... Sorry, I can't remember how many of them have, but the finals in the past 20 years seem to be internal training for their national team... Think about it, the greatest country in the world is also the most creative country, and there is no trophy that symbolizes the peak of intelligence. Is that true?"

"Elizabeth Harmon" He pointed to the beautiful girl gently, who seemed a little lost at the moment, rolling his eyes with big eyes and muttering words in his mouth, looking like he was possessed by evil spirits...

"Ahem!" Edward blushed and he quickly kicked her gently.

"Sorry, I'm deducing the start in my mind." She quickly apologized

"She is the hope of the United States, and we must protect this hope!"

"Her success proves that excellent individuals can completely get rid of the so-called 'collective power' and reach the highest level. She is a living American hero - if you also see Wonder Girl."

"But, the golden rope that the Wonder Girl relies on, I'm sorry, it's the Truth Lasso and the Divine Power Bracelet. It's all drawn in an invisible plane. But look, there is a girl who only relies on her own brain, which can make the Russians crazy headache."

Edward's expression was very serious.

These words were not plain words, but the result of his careful consideration.

As a bystander, he sees things very clearly.

And influenced by Ruth Berg, he was good at using detective Pinkerton.

After receiving a call from Beth Harmon, he asked Pinkerton to collect Miss Katton's resume.

Everything is normal in the resume.

But it was this normality that made Edward feel something was wrong.

I can't tell you exactly where I am, but memories of my previous life pop up from time to time. Various legends about kgb and the accusation that the American legendary chess player Fisher was reminding him that it is best to be cautious about this matter.

The Cold War Peak

In the past, it seemed that this was just a simple four words, and even I was a little aesthetically exhausted.

But life over the years told him that he was not from this era and could not understand the storm behind these four words. The two superpowers were fighting each other and in all aspects. There was even a grand event where spaceships of the two countries flew to the moon and then almost landed on the ground.

The competition among the four major areas of politics, economy, military and culture is fierce, far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

So Miss Katun is indeed a bit suspicious. As for the suspicion, I just said it - even though she knew that the other party was in a bad state, she tempted her to drink and take medicine. After a call, she called the police...

The Assistant Attorney General's face turned a little pale. He wanted to say something, but finally chose to shut up.

It is better to trust some things than to trust nothing.

What's more, the other party agreed not to pursue the matter anymore.

"I think I understand what you mean," Judge Wilkins closed the file, "The hearing is over now, I want to study this matter."

The state assistant attorney general took the lead in saying goodbye.

Edward and Beth Harmon were also ready to leave after thanking Judge Wilkins repeatedly.

Unexpectedly, the latter called them.

"The trial has ended, and the following words are just an old man's nagging." He smiled and said

"In a moment, I will improve the verdict, mainly considering the use of words and modifications. I believe Mr. Edward, you should understand."

The latter nodded. The writing of the judgment is the traditional skill of American judges. It not only requires accuracy and rigor, but also wonderful and complex. This is not the case that the judge's legal and literary literacy cannot reflect the judge's legal and literary literacy.

"But I'm really a little worried about the follow-up questions. Let's do it." He tore off a piece of paper from the sticky note to write and draw, and then handed it to Beth Harmon.

"To avoid the trouble that may arise in the future, you can take time to go to the state senator's office. There is a young man named Mickey McConnell, who has worked as a lawyer and is now one of the senators' legal assistants. You can ask him for help and he will come forward to coordinate. Of course, I personally recommend that you better move out of Lexington for a while."

This is what the Chinese people call avoiding the limelight.

"Thank you very much, Lord Judge" Edward said sincerely

Judge Wilkins's approach in court was pretty regular, and now he is really thinking about them.

Judge Bruin and President Morpheus are both local celebrities. Apart from public office, the power behind them is also very huge. If I really disgusted with the words of Elma and Beth, no one can defend themselves from them.

Moreover, it is not a disgusting person who does not violate the law, making a female chess player who is prepared for the game with peace of mind is too simple. There will be no gangsters taking orders in simple terms - because there is too little money.

Cia and FBI will not protect the safety of national champions. Their community is very rich and the police force is not weak, but don’t forget who paid the police’s salary...

"No, no, no, I'm not a judge now, I'm just an intriguing old man." Judge Wilkins stroked the gavel.

"You just said it's right. Miss Harmon is our hope, so it's necessary for us to protect this hope."

"So Miss Katun here?" Edward asked

"I think..." Judge Wilkins scratched his head, "probably in the past few days, she will sell the house at a discount, but leave Lexington and go to another city to start a new life. To be honest, I don't quite believe what you said just now."

"Uh..." Edward blushed

"But" Judge Wilkins smiled self-deprecatingly, "I can't refute it either. After all, there is no evidence, and it's better for Russians to be careful."

"After all," Judge Wilkins said seriously, "The freedom of the United States is precisely a loophole that opponents can exploit. Everything in the world has costs and costs, and it depends on how the people in power make a decision."

"We are free and open, which means we also open the door to kgb. On the other hand, the Russians' strict domestic regulation made Cia uncomfortable, but in turn it curbs their economic development and damages their international image." Judge Wilkins sighed, but his expression was quite relaxed, as if he had seen it more.

"It's a bit regretful." Edward was very annoyed. Anyone who encountered this kind of underworld would scold him.

"So, I ask you to find 'Mickey'. He is young but a very capable little guy with a good relationship with CIA's office in Kentucky... There are some things you always need to be wary of. The free United States should not become a paradise for Russians to mess around."

"Thank you again"

Unexpectedly, Judge Wilkins changed his tone, "I believe that with Mr. Edward's ability, it should be easy to find a house for you in New York."

"This..." Edward thought, was the old man in front of him knowing that his relationship with Elma was abnormal?

He could only agree embarrassedly.

"Just just kidding, I wish you good luck. Next, I have a hearing..."

Edward and Beth Harmon said goodbye and returned to her home.

About an hour later.

The phone rings.

It was called by the court.

The clerk informed them with a mechanical voice that Judge Wilkins had signed a ruling ordering President Bruin to release Elma immediately and be unconditionally "execute immediately".

The ruling contains the following text: "Threatment of filing a lawsuit is not a legal reason for custody, nor is it a reason for continuing to hold court to collect more evidence. Therefore, the plaintiff should be released from the mental hospital immediately. I hope the plaintiff can get relevant help from a private perspective."

The meaning of the last sentence is that Elma would be better off leaving Lexington, at least in a short period of time.

This is good for everyone.

This is also what Judge Wilkins can do to help a lot.

Edward thought about it and just do a good person to do it to the end.

So Beth Harmon was asked to pick up Elma and discharge her from the hospital, and went straight to the state Senator's office.

Every member of Congress has an office in this state that is dedicated to receiving visits from ordinary citizens.

It should be said that this is a feature and an advantage of the American political system.

There are members of the House of Representatives, and even more so there are members of the Senate. The difference is that the former usually only sets up one in the congressional district where they are located, and their ability to solve problems is not as good as the latter. After all, the senator is so valuable.

The Senator's office usually has several, distributed in several big cities in the state, and its energy is much greater. If you do your best, you can really promote many things, if these things can bring him votes and reputation.

It seems a bit similar to business, but it is always better to put business on the table than to secretly trade.

Since members of Congress represent their states in Congress, they naturally have to reflect the people's conditions and also have to do something practical for everyone.

There are usually many assistants hired in the office, and they are responsible for receiving "petitioners"... No, it should be said that they are voters, and they record their demands clearly and completely, and then summarize them in categories.

Finally sent to the Senator's desk.

Senators are picky about these demands, and those that are easy to do and have huge news effects will be given priority.

Secondly, those news effects are huge but more troublesome to deal with, so you have to postpone it and see if you can use some bargaining chips to complete some interest exchanges with others.

As for those that don't have any news effect, ahem...

For the Senators, they have two political achievements, one is how many practical things they have done to voters in the state, such as how many jobs they have added to this city, how many taxes they have added to that city, and persuade the state legislature to allocate funds to build a road between the two counties.

Another thing is how many bills passed/blocked when meetings in the Hill of Capitol. What is passed is definitely beneficial to the United States, and what is blocked is definitely harmful to the United States.

Of course, in fact, the ones that pass are all proposed by our party, and the ones that block them are all from the enemy party.

In short, in the state, the Senators and Senators' offices are a very detached existence.

It is not under the jurisdiction of the administrative system, but it is huge in power and can push or block the administrative system from making relevant decisions.

Therefore, when American people encounter problems, they are more accustomed to going to the Senator or the Representatives' offices for help. They are usually warmly received and give a relatively clear answer.

If you go to the relevant administrative department, although it seems to be more in line with the process and is more standardized, the administrative department is a standard official office, and naturally there is the habit of bureaucrats being afraid of things. Various internal processes and documents are usually enough to persuade people to withdraw from their help.

Marlow Cook is the new senator of Kentucky. He is an outlier. The Democratic Party has a slightly superior position and is the territory of Protestants. However, he is a Catholic Republican.

This makes him seem a little out of place with the state, but it must be admitted that he is a good senator, diligent and serious, and not too dark. He has achieved a combination of public and private affairs in daily life, and there is no delay.

The assistants hired by such people are obviously not mediocre.

McConnell is a young man, and his actual age should be around 30, but he looks younger.

His appearance is a little...some, which does not conform to the normal American aesthetic.

During this period, the aesthetics of the United States and even the whole world were roughly online. Although gay lesbians have begun to appear legally, overall, the aesthetic standards are still: men are like men and women are like women.
To be continued...
