After thinking about it, he called his mother and said that some academic problems must be rushed back to New Haven (Yale's location), so he opened the door of his second-hand Pondillac Chiefs Star, kicked the accelerator, and headed straight for Yale.

A used car has a displacement of 4.7 liters, making it a performance monster.

In this era when gasoline was almost costly, gasoline was only $0.36 per gallon, which was only about nine cents per liter, which was one third cheaper than a pound of flour.

In 1955, when "Chief Star" was launched, the oil price was less than five cents per liter.

Edward was really pitiful to the drivers of his previous life when he was driving this machine equipped with a 4.7-liter V8 engine. In that era, global oil prices soared, and a 3.0-liter engine was already a symbol of luxury cars.

The current oil price is blessed by the "Seven Sisters of Petroleum". Exxon, Mobil, Chevron, Texaco, Gulf, BP and Royal Dutch/shell, seven European and American super-large oil companies monopolize the industry.

Cartels (oligopoly alliances) were formed in accordance with the laws of industrial development. These companies entered a stage of rapid development in the 1950s and 1970s, with sales, profits and industry rights rapidly increasing.

By pressing oil-producing countries, we provide cheap gasoline and various petroleum products to our citizens, which greatly reduces the living costs of residents, and continues to push the lives of our own GDP and company executives.

The Bretton Woods system has been stumbled for more than 30 years and has shown signs of fatigue. At this moment, it is working hard to make the final waste heat. With the dividends of World War II, it has worked together to make the United States' gasoline cheaper than mineral water.

There are often family cars with displacement above 4.0 on highways across the United States, which makes Edward, who drove a three-cylinder Charlie in his previous life, feel like a dream world.

Of course, he would rather all this be a dream, and as long as he opens his eyes, he can return to the comfort nest composed of express delivery and the Internet.

Obviously it's impossible.

With the roar of the throttle, the "Star of Chiefs" ran rapidly on the wide CT15 intercontinental highway.

...

New Haven, Connecticut, has only a few hundred thousand residents, but is located in Yale, one of the best universities in the world.

Although it is a cross-state trip, the actual distance is not far. It is enough to drive from Brooklyn, New York, one and a half hours.

It happened to be the time before get off work, and there were not many vehicles on the road, which allowed Edward to continue to think deeply about the case while driving.

The benefits are obvious next, Ferriche is not short of money, and then he can get a powerful helper.

It’s not that he has much confidence in the morality of the mafia, that they are all honest men. In the United States, it is very simple to win respect and friendship. As long as he shows enough strength and value, "enthusiastic" friends will be as ubiquitous as pollen in the spring air.

"Damn it, why is the climate so perverted this year? It's already spring break! Why do you still have to wear a down jacket?!" Edward cursed.

Pondillac is positioned as a mid-to-high-end group. High-end goods such as Chiefs Star were at least ten years ago, and they must have heating.

In order to make a cheaper price, the car I bought was not as good as a second-hand car, but rather a second-hand or a third-hand car, with all kinds of minor problems. Otherwise, the car that costs more than 2,000 US dollars at the beginning of the market would not have cost him only 300 yuan plus a cup of coffee and two donuts to get it.

After pulling the collar, Edward continued to think about it. The benefits were many, but the disadvantages were also obvious.

The official has actually controlled almost all the resources. In the eyes of FBI and the local prosecutor who are determined to handle major cases, Ferriche is almost the same as the meat on the chopping board. The only choice he can choose is to be braised or steamed. Oh, it should be fried or roasted on fire. In the eyes of ordinary Americans, such as soy sauce, such as seasoning artifacts, are afraid that they are more terrifying than cocaine.

So, I am equivalent to "offending you a little today" by Agent FBI and New York City Inspector.

Will this cause trouble for yourself?

The answer is yes.

Under any regime, officials and people will always be in opposition, even the United States, which has always claimed to be a beacon of democracy and freedom, is no exception.

It is the creed that the people do not fight with officials to save their lives.

However, facing a powerful opponent, I am not in a situation where I can be slaughtered. The status of a student at Yale Law School is enough to make the other party afraid. At least, actions like the one who openly bullies Ferriche will not be used on my head.

For FBI or the district attorney, law students are nothing, but the law professors behind them are too terrible. They are nominally teachers. In fact, as long as there is a chance, these people will immediately become circuit court appeal judges, Ministry of Justice lawyers and other roles that make the president suffer from headaches.

Law professors also have another characteristic: they are extremely protective of their children!

With this tiger skin, my little fox might as well be more active. Even if it really causes trouble, as long as you shrink back to New Haven, it will be peaceful.

The agents and local prosecutors they have to face are both government civil servants. They will be promoted or transferred every few years. They will handle this case by themselves and have a few years of peace of mind. After they get out, they will become heroes again, or they can't afford to mess with them, and after graduation, they choose to start their career in the federal appeals court on the West Coast.

The most urgent task at the moment is to continue to study the files well.

Through the contact just now, Edward felt that what Ferriche said was basically the truth. From all aspects, Dami really had no motivation or background to kill.

This guy has a clean background. He has been a good baby with good character and academic performance since he was a child. He studied all the way to business school and entered the social elite circle as long as he graduated. How could such a person kill people impulsively?

Moreover, this kid is indeed a bit "national beauty". With the traditional Italian skills, as long as he is willing, there will be no shortage of beauties around him. In comparison, Barbara has a good appearance, but she is a typical American girl in this era, and even looks a bit sloppy and rough.

Edward completely disbelief of the plot of Dami killing or attempting to make love and killing people in anger. On the contrary, it is possible for a woman to kill a man.

"Damn it seems that this spring break is not boring. I hope I can finish the matter before school starts, otherwise I will be unable to bear it when I go back and forth."

Like most American schools, Yale is divided into two semesters.

Usually September 1st is the beginning of the fall semester every year and ends in mid-December.

Then there is a month of winter vacation time, the second semester, also known as the spring semester, starts in mid-January and ends in mid-May, and after three months of summer vacation, the next school year is the next.

What is humane is that there are two to three weeks of spring breaks every March. I think the American people also deeply agree with Confucius's "In late spring, the spring clothes are completed, five or six or seven boys, bathing in the Yi River, dancing in the wind, and returning with singing."

This spring break, as an annual Edward, originally planned to review his homework, then find a place to think quietly for a few days, and plan his future study and career path.

The first year of graduate school is generally relatively easy. If you do not have a bachelor's degree in law in the United States, you will all start to take a break from graduate school. Therefore, in the first year, students mainly study the Basic Law and general legal knowledge. After the second grade, they will start to determine their professional direction and choose a tutor. Then they also have to plan a summer law firm internship to lay a solid foundation for their future job hunting. At the same time, they can also add points to their career experience by entering a barrister internship.

Yale students have a heavier task because they have more important things to do this year - writing applications to federal/local court judges so that they can become their assistants after graduation. This is the biggest difference between elite students in elite schools and ordinary mixed students.

The United States is also a country that emphasizes personal connections, especially in government agencies. It is more important than professional skills or professional ethics after entering a middle-aged career.

"Okay, I hope this case can be handled beautifully, at least written on my resume."

...

"Hi, Chris." Edward pushed open the door of the dormitory and saw the big black man leaning on the sofa and carefully reading the textbook. There was a cold pizza on the table next to him.

"Yes." The latter didn't even raise his head, but just groaned, saying hello.

After a while, he said, "If you haven't had dinner, there is still pizza here, you can eat it all."

"Don't tell me, you've been staying here these days, just rely on pizza to make a living." Edward shouted in surprise.

The answer to him was silence.

This black man named Chris Thomas is his classmate and roommate.

There were very few black people at Yale Law School in this era.

Even if the government stipulates that universities must earn a certain number of people of color in the Equality Act, they can "select the best" and lower their admissions if they do not have enough scores.

But most black people choose science and engineering, which is easy to make money and mainly deals with instruments and machinery, and very few choose law or business.

On the other hand, being able to enter Yale also shows that these people’s true level is not bad. They were taken care of by policies when they entered school, but their academic performance was the best.

Chris is better, but this man has a quirk, most of the time he doesn't like talking, and shared this ancient apartment with Edward when allocating dormitories.

After a year, both parties felt that the other party was a good roommate.

Although Chris was silent, he had a good sense of humor. One day Edward came back and saw an enlarged photo of a giant panda hanging on the door. He looked at it for a while and was not sure what it means.
