Blackstone Code

"... (name), a native of... city, joined the army in... and participated in or carried out dozens of military operations. He participated in the Nagalir Counterattack, the Pengeo Landing Battle, and the Pengeo Central Breakthrough Battle."

"Due to his outstanding merits, he was promoted to Army Major after the war."

A more detailed profile than the officer himself introduced himself on television appeared on the desk of the Presidential Office of the Presidential Palace and in the ears of ladies and gentlemen.

This is a very clean and beautiful resume.

Born into a federal native family, a typical lower-class family in the federation.

His parents run a small farm and he has an older brother and an older sister. He is the youngest child in the family.

His mother died of illness, and after his mother died, his father passed out drunk on the farm due to alcoholism and was eaten by coyotes in the middle of the night until only half of his skeleton was left.

After his parents died, his brother inherited the family business, but later went bankrupt due to poor management and became a cowboy, working for other farmers on his former farm.

His sister is married, and according to information, there has been no contact for about ten years.

To put it simply, this is an ordinary and lonely person.

His wife died of illness, his son died in the war, and he blamed his wife's mistake on the federal government's failure to help...

At this time, two FBI analysts were analyzing the criminal's criminal psychology and purpose. Through some materials and information, they began to outline the officer's possible demands and true purpose.

A few years ago, this type of criminal psychoanalyst was not a separate "profession", but as federal criminals and criminal behaviors have become more diverse, complex, and highly intelligent, this type of analyst has become necessary for every case. An indispensable member.

They may not necessarily directly help solve the case, but they can definitely push the case forward quickly in a good direction.

Just when everyone was listening attentively, Lynch suddenly interrupted what he wanted to say later, "Tell me about his sister's family situation."

The analyst was talking happily, but was suddenly interrupted, as if the most primitive fun had already begun to charge, and was suddenly called to stop when it was halfway through.

Not only the dissatisfaction of stopping and losing happiness, but also the dissatisfaction of being frightened.

However, he glanced at Lynch and then at Connor, who said nothing. The analyst began to talk about the situation at the officer's sister's house.

"She married a local cowboy who had given up ranching and gone to the big city years earlier."

"He now works in a factory as the leader of the production team. She and he have two children in total, just like many ordinary families..."

The analyst shrugged, "There's nothing special about it. It's simple and ordinary. It's possible to be happy and joyful. I don't know very well, but it's just ordinary."

Lynch looked at Connor and explained why he was suddenly interested in this guy's sister and his family.

"We now need to know why he did this and what he planned to do. It will not help solve the current troubles."

"What we need is to be able to find a way to stop him and for them to continue doing this."

"While he was in contact with his sister's family, did they have children?"

The analyst nodded, "Before we disconnected, a niece was born."

Lynch tapped his fingers on the table a few times, "Bring his sister and family, including the niece, to Bupen as soon as possible."

No one moved in the room. Although no one moved or spoke, they all roughly knew what Lynch's purpose was.

To put it nicely, let the love of his family influence him and make him give up hurting others, and then raise his hands to surrender.

To put it mildly, you have fucking hostages, and we also have hostages, come on, let’s hurt each other!

This method is actually not easy to use. Sometimes the law enforcement agencies are pushed into a hurry. They don't care about humane or inhumane things. As long as they have a relationship with the criminal and can affect his emotions, they will invite them over.

An elementary school teacher, an important classmate from elementary school to high school, a first love, and even a pen pal!

Anyway, as long as it is valuable, it cannot escape this trick.

And it works!

According to FBI statistics, among the cases where criminals have been successfully influenced by "family and friends", family members account for less than 20%!

Primary school teachers have the highest success rate by far, followed by classmates in middle school, first loves, some younger descendants, and then immediate family members.

After waiting for a few seconds, Connor looked at the head of the Security Committee and said, "Do as Lynch said."

Lynch added at this time, "Do an investigation on the other possible suspects, and then bring in their important family members in this way. Maybe we can use them."

It's mean, but it really works.

While speaking, the officer on the TV screen had finished introducing himself and at the same time started talking about why he did what he did.

"...the federal government has an unshirkable responsibility for the arrest of the Army general and his inexplicable death."

"During the war we paid with blood and lives for this country, for the people of the Commonwealth."

"Maybe you think glory is important to us, but let me tell you, glory will never be more important to us than life!"

"That's just cheap compensation after some of us lost our lives, that's all!"

"We have endured the pain of injury, the pain of losing loved ones, and now we have to bear the pain of being wrongly accused, arrested or even secretly killed!"

"This world is so unfair!"

“Especially with these members of Congress behind me!”

"When we came back from the battlefield dragging our broken bodies for the sake of the country's righteousness, we were desperate for medical expenses of one to two thousand yuan, three to five thousand yuan."

"They wear thousands of sets of clothes, go to those luxurious places, consume the benefits we have exchanged for our lives, but they ignore our pleas to live!"

"Some people ask, why are you doing this, what is your purpose."

"I just want to tell you that this society, this country, everything is sick!"

"And the purpose of our action today is to treat it!"

At this time, in the office of the Presidential Palace, a cabinet member couldn't help but said, "Mr. President, the live broadcast should be cut off immediately and they cannot be allowed to continue talking."

"These inflammatory and inflammatory language will affect the judgment of right and wrong by some people in society who do not know the truth. Some of the people they gather may even sympathize with these people..."

The cabinet member was a little scared. He didn't know what these people were crazy about, and he had some vague guesses in his mind.

If they are allowed to continue talking nonsense, even if these people are eliminated, the federal government will eventually be left with a big trouble!

Connor frowned and did not answer immediately, while another Defense Department official seemed to have the same view.

"He's confusing some issues, Mr. President."

"He tried to twist the cause of his misfortune into the fault of the federal government. I agree with what Mr.... said. I think the live broadcast should stop."

"This is very unfriendly to the current situation!"

Then several more people joined the team that agreed to cut off the live broadcast, but Connor never made a decision. He looked at those who remained silent, and his last eyes fell on Lynch.

"What do you think?"

The biggest difference between Lynch and others in this room is that Lynch has the courage and ability to execute, while those others are all federal politicians.

Their first thought is to preserve their political capital, and then other things.

Normally, Connor wouldn't think there was anything wrong with doing this, because he is also a politician, and he also has the same problems as politicians.

But at this time, looking at these problems will make people very dissatisfied.

On the contrary, it was Lynch. His "self-sacrifice" performance at this time made Connor more inclined to Lynch when faced with problems and differences!

This is a... very weird emotional control, just like all the actions and decisions made by these people in front of me are based on "for my own good."

Only the decision made by Lynch was for "Connor's good".

So he will obviously favor Lynch.

Lynch crossed his legs and slowly took out a cigarette, and a staff member of the presidential palace immediately lit it for him.

"Thank you!" He thanked the staff member and sat leaning on the chair in a very irregular posture.

"It's easy to cut off the live broadcast, it only takes a phone call, but if they start killing people again because we cut off the connection, who will be responsible for the lives of these dead people?"

He looked at these people and said, "If any of you stand up and say who of you can be responsible, then I will support your request."

When he finished speaking, he looked at Connor, and Connor also understood what Lynch meant.

Once an accident occurs, someone must take responsibility. In the face of such a huge social event, anyone who makes too many mistakes will inevitably end up taking the blame and resigning.

Including Connor, no exception!

So Lynch is reminding Connor not to take responsibility for other people's choices. If they want to do this, let them bear all the consequences instead of letting the "federal government" bear the responsibility.

After all, when no one takes the initiative to stand up, in the eyes of the people, the president is the representative of the federal government!

No one dwells on this issue anymore. When everything concerns their own vital interests, they shut up.

At least after the situation calms down, as long as they still have power, they can turn some things around!
