Blackstone Code

If Joe Griman just didn't know that Johnson was going to introduce a small person to him, then Johnson was sitting next to Lynch with a face full of poop.

A little disgusted, a little disgusted, a little regret, a little temper that I can't explain myself, and a face full of disgust.

Logically speaking, how could it be possible for a tax bureau chief to introduce some important connections to a small person like Lynch, not to mention that he just punched himself, and the entire tax system was not so stable from top to bottom.

Especially Michael, last night there was a rumor from the state office that in view of the current pressure of public opinion, the idea above was to abandon Michael.

The top officials of the state office have also repeatedly stated their high-level positions in the conference call. It is not that the high-level people have to abandon their subordinates when they encounter problems. They have never done this before, and they don't bother to do so.

The Federal Taxation Bureau, which is fighting head-on, even has the army. It has never known what begging for mercy is, but the problem is that the bottoms are not clean, and the high-level officials can't wipe their bottoms clean. Don't blame the people above for being cruel.

They gave Johnson some hints before, let Lynch confirm the identity of the criminal as soon as possible-this is what the Sabine City Federal Taxation Bureau said, Lynch may be a criminal, and the person who has this idea is Michael .

Director Johnson thinks that Lynch may not be so clean, but from the current point of view, he obviously has no illegal acts, including his company's accounts. They also checked the entire warehouse when they took Lynch away, and found nothing any exceptions.

The main reason for the public sentiment now is that Lynch himself is innocent. In addition to the various law enforcement conflicts before, it was mainly from the Bureau of Investigation and some people who fueled the flames, which made the situation what it is today.

As long as Lynch becomes a criminal, the vast majority of the people will have no sense of substitution. Although Baylor Federation always advertises itself as a human rights country, it is obvious that people's attitude towards criminals does not seem to have anything to do with human rights. .

Attitude determines the trend and future of things. To seek justice for a criminal, even stupid people will not do it.

As a result, a week has passed. The Sabine City Taxation Bureau teamed up with the FBI, and the two most powerful federal departments joined forces. They didn't find the slightest way to add a "criminal" to Lynch's identity label. Label.

This embarrasses the middle and high level of the tax bureau. What can the people below do well if they can't do this little thing well?

Of course, this cannot be completely blamed on these two organizations. The eyes of the society are now focused on Lynch. If there is any mistake in the process of nailing him as a criminal, it may make the current situation even worse. passive.

So in the conference call, they pointed out that since you can't save Michael, then abandon him, and besides, the Sabine City Taxation Bureau and Michael himself have to bear some responsibilities.

One is that the work ability of the Sabine City Taxation Bureau is low, and the second is that Michael himself has too many problems, has a bad temper, and often goes berserk at work. Whether it is other people or his own people, as long as he gets angry, he will explode immediately.

This public outcry is also related to himself. Without any evidence to testify against Lynch, he directly locked Lynch as a criminal suspect and injured Lynch many times, resulting in such embarrassing consequences. Pay for your actions.

At the same time, the state office also expressed the hope that the Sabine City Taxation Bureau would appease the victim's emotions. Since they couldn't beat Lynch to the ground with a single stick, they should stand shoulder to shoulder with him, and at least get it back. A little bit of image.

shameless?

Sorry, the Federal Taxation Service is an important institution of the Federation, what does personal honor and disgrace count?

In addition, the higher-ups have held a meeting to promote another statement, which coincides with what Lynch and Director Johnson said at the barbecue restaurant.

Since the middle and high-level officials decided to let Michael take the blame, they will definitely let him carry the back perfectly, tailor-made, and will not give him any chance to stand up. If he can't even cooperate with this matter, then the entire Sabine will be abandoned. The leadership of the Municipal Taxation Bureau.

Things have come to this point. It is obvious that the local tax bureau chief can not control the future. He can only cooperate with the above decision. He called Lynch in the morning, meaning that he needs to cooperate with the tax bureau in public opinion recently. next move.

At the same time, I also hinted to him that he had already considered what happened to them at the barbecue restaurant last time. This is an instinctive profit-seeking behavior. will confuse your own worth in the whole thing.

It's as if Michael heard that there was a chance for promotion and started to get busy. If he succeeded, Director Johnson would definitely say that he had contributed to his success.

If you can reap additional benefits without affecting your own interests, why refuse?

With such a phone call, Lynch just mentioned that he wanted to get to know the director of the credit department of the bank, no matter which bank it was, as long as it was a bank.

And this is also an exchange condition for him to cooperate with the tax bureau in the future. He said in his original words, "I have a very full work schedule recently, and I may not be able to take care of the media interviews. In case there are some mistakes in the synchronization , please be considerate!"

At this point in the matter, it can be said that Director Johnson's heart is completely ruthless, and it is irreparable.

His private meeting with Lynch and the current internal trend gave him a wonderful feeling that he "conspired" with Lynch to kill Michael. This feeling is not so obvious, but it exists. Lynch is one of his accomplices. one. ,

Coupled with the pressure from his superiors, the old bureau chief who was very talkative in Sabine City's tax system finally reluctantly agreed to Lynch's request, and only then did the noon meeting take place.

But I have to say that he felt disgusted, not only Lynch was disgusted, but he was also disgusted. He thought that he might be a person who didn't have much ability and was not strong enough, but had a clear stand, but he didn't expect him to be so " weak"!

"I won't say anything for you, you said it!" Seeing Lynch's naturally calm look, Director Johnson couldn't help but sarcastically.

Lynch didn't care about his cynicism at all, and even took out a small note from his pocket, put it in the napkin, and pushed it over.

Johnson frowned slightly. He took the napkin and took out a note. There were two lines of numbers typed on it. "What do you mean?"

Lynch smiled, "I heard that the banks in Langlis are de-alphabetizing. They think that the combination of numbers and letters will add too much burden to the work. I think the six major banks should also consider this. Do."

The bank accounts of the six major banks in the Federation are all "customized accounts", most of which are a combination of numbers and letters, which actually increases the workload, slows down the work speed, and is prone to errors.

Just when Director Johnson was about to continue to ask what this meant, he suddenly clenched his fists. There is no doubt that this note plus Lynch's words can confirm that this is a bank account from Langlis.

Langlis is a neutral country known as a paradise for tax evasion. Naturally, it is also full of various financial crimes, and some cases will also involve the Federation.

He stared at Lynch closely, with a fierce expression on his face, "This is a bribe, you are insulting me!"

Lynch shrugged, "You know, no one can be alone (no one can be independent from anything, not interfere with the development of things, and not be affected by it), and I don't need you to do any harm for me. It's just a gift between friends."

"Compared to your expression now, I think you can take this thing and try to find out the flow of funds between accounts, maybe you can find my little handle, or donate those things to those who need them, such as Say Michael's wife."

"When he enters the prison, Michael's family is on the verge of breaking up. His wife hasn't worked a day. His children will be released from prison next year. They need money, and Michael can't give them..."

"We all know that Michael is innocent..." Lynch paused before he laughed, "Of course I don't mean that I...you know, I'm innocent too."

He looked at Director Johnson with a suffocating look in his eyes, which could see through people's hearts.

Just as Director Johnson was suffering at this time, and he had to do something because of the guilt of "betrayal". Lynch's words stimulated him and activated his inexplicable "sense of responsibility".

Since it is impossible to change the status quo and give Michael a result that may be fair in the eyes of Director Johnson, then let's take care of his family. After all, his wife and his children need money.

There are a lot of stupid things a person does when they want to smooth over their guilt.

During this brief silence, Joe Griman appeared ahead of schedule, and Director Johnson had no way to return the note to Lynch. He believed that even if Joe Griman only saw it for a moment, he would know that the note said What, he dared not take the risk.
