He changed his black suit and wore a patients’ gown inside of the hospital. The sly lawyer then sat in a wheelchair and acted like he was terminally ill. When the police raided the hospital, they started escorting all the patients. Upon encounter the lawyer, he looked just like a patient, so the police themselves escorted him out of the hospital.
