Cosma Empire

Before stepping out with one foot, a slight push from behind caused Powers to lose his center of gravity on the edge of the steps, and his upper body irreversibly leaned forward and fell over.

He waved his arms to grab something, but there was no support around him, and he was still some distance away from the handrail.

He fell forward in despair, looking at the steps getting closer and closer, he felt that his whole body was surrounded by fear.

peng!

The close contact between the forehead and the edge of the steps made him feel so painful that he was about to cry out, he couldn't feel his forehead anymore, and he didn't have any other sensations except the pain.

He was still rolling forward and down. During the rolling, he saw Du Lin standing on the steps and lighting a cigarette, and saw the secretary outside the office door whose facial features were distorted in fright. He opened his mouth and wanted to swear a bad word. But the sharp pain that followed made him close his mouth.

Not only is it painful, but if he is not careful, under the action of external force, for example, his jaw is hit, he will bite off his tongue.

He had to keep his mouth shut and his teeth clenched, even though the pain and fear made him tremble and make him whine.

Every time he rotated, the pain became more intense, and his thinking became slower. Before landing, Powers was thinking about a question, why, Du Lin dared to push him down, didn't he know that he What are you doing?

On the third floor, Powers stopped, because he lacked the protection of a thick carpet, so every time he rolled over, he would bump into the edge of the step explained, and several blood ridges were pulled out of his head, and at the same time Just lost consciousness.

This short staircase, less than fifteen meters long, is enough to knock an old man into a coma, even a young man may not be able to stand it.

On the steps, Du Lin was smoking a cigarette, and walked to the desk of Powers Mystery Technique. The little secretary looked at Du Lin tremblingly, and could clearly hear her teeth slamming into each other.

She just watched everything, saw Doolin go to the bathroom, saw Doolin reach out and push Powers down the stairs, watched him light a cigarette afterwards as if he had done an insignificant thing. cigarette!

"You didn't scream..." Du Lin reminded, but the secretary didn't know whether Du Lin was serious or was talking ironically, so she didn't dare to speak, let alone scream.

Even a new party leader like Powers dared to push this young man down the stairs. An inconspicuous little secretary like her might have no scruples in cleaning up.

She suddenly felt that her lower abdomen began to swell and produce severe pain quickly,

Immediately afterwards, a urge to urinate rushed over her head, but Du Lin was standing in front of her, and she dared not speak or leave.

"Ma'am, you should scream. You saw Mr. Powers stumbled and fell. You should scream to remind everyone what happened..." Du Lin flipped his hands in the gesture of what happened, and the little secretary was stunned. After two seconds, there was some hysterical screaming.

The penetrating soprano voice instantly shattered the peace in the New Party office building. Du Lin stepped behind the desk, held her waist under the terrified eyes of the little secretary, and led her quickly to the fifth floor At the guardrail on the edge of the platform, let her upper body slightly stick out of the guardrail, and then said behind her, "Tell them what happened just now, and use your brain!"

Even if the girl who can be selected as the secret art of the new party leader's office is a fool, she is also a fool with a basic IQ. She is almost calm at this time. Under the double threat, she shouted out Du Lin's hope without thinking What she did, "Come on, Lord Powers stumbled and fell down the stairs!"

Du Lin moved his hands back forcefully, pulled the little secretary back, dragged her quickly to the edge of the table, picked up the phone and dialed the emergency number, then put the receiver in the girl's hand, "Call an ambulance ..."

The girl was manipulated by Du Lin like a marionette. At this time, her brain was completely separated from her body. Her brain told herself clearly that she had witnessed a terrible political frame-up, and she also It was dangerous because she was the only witness.

Given Du Lin's reputation, it is very likely that she will disappear, or be caught by various accidents.

She is still very young, only twenty-seven years old this year, she does not want to leave this world so early, she is racking her brains to find a way.

But her body cooperated with Du Lin's order very well, and she asked for rescue in an orderly manner as soon as the phone was connected.

After hanging up the phone, she looked up at Du Lin, with an... indescribable expression in her eyes, or maybe it was hope.

Now she is hot all over, as if after a long run, there is a trace of abnormal coolness, as if her body is covered with sweat and blown by the wind.

Du Lin let go of the hand on the girl's waist, helped the girl tidy up her somewhat messy hair, and showed a dazzling smile, "I like your freckles, they are very cute..."

These words made the little secretary's face turn red like steamed seafood. She lowered her head in horror and fiddled with her glasses to hide her panic.

Du Lin looked at the slightly yellow water stains on the ground, and said with a smile, "Eating more vegetables will be very helpful to your health. Next, someone will ask you some very simple questions, just tell them what happened just now. It really goes through, and then you have a week off, paid, to take a break and relax, or hang out."

Fiddled with the girl's hair again, touched the girl's face, Du Lin waved his hand, and walked towards the stairs.

It was necessary or unnecessary to keep the little secretary and even let her witness all this.

If the little secretary hadn't seen all this happen, and she couldn't give the first-party eyewitness testimony, Du Lin would be very suspicious.

He saw that Powers was not hiding anything from anyone, so he went up the stairs in a fair manner, but in the process Powers fell down the stairs, even if no one saw it, someone would point out this doubt and blame Du Lin May be suspected of intentional injury.

Those who don't have much interest in Dooling will not do this, but those who have a core interest conflict with Dooling will never let this go, such as Holmes, for example, some people in the party or even outside the party people.

They raised doubts. As a political incident with great influence, the procuratorate will definitely intervene in the investigation. No matter what the result is at that time, the brand of Du Lin's persecution of Powers will be hung on him, because he is too suspicious. Well, even if the Procuratorate and the Supreme Court prove that he is not guilty, some people will think he is guilty, and he still bought the Supreme Court and the Procuratorate.

But if the little secretary has witnessed all this, she will play a very special role in this matter. As a person Powers trusts, what she says will be more authoritative. If she admits it herself, or even swears To make sure that Powers really slipped and fell, even if other people saw Doolin doing good deeds, it would not be of any value.

The first-line eyewitness testimony, and someone Powers trusts, people may consider whether Du Lin did it, but they will definitely not subconsciously believe that it was Du Lin who did it, leaving appropriate room for doubt.

As for whether the little secretary will really tell the truth..., Du Lin is not too worried about this, because the core character of human beings is selfishness.

In order to protect herself, she will choose the most powerful answer for herself, just like Alyssa answered when she faced Amp's question.

This has achieved Du Lin's purpose - to let people know that this incident has something to do with him, but there is not enough key evidence to accuse him, so they can only speculate suspiciously and randomly.

Not to mention the little secretary cleaning up the water stains on the ground in a panic, Du Lin walked down the stairs smoking a cigarette, stood on the edge and watched Powers lying unconscious on the ground with others.

On the other stairs, His Excellency the Chairman looked at Du Lin with a half-smile, and the eyes of the two met in the air for a moment before quickly separating.

His Excellency turned to this step through the corridor on the third floor to let people spread out and give Powers more space.

In about two minutes, the ambulance arrived at the scene, and the speed was so fast because it was close to Imperial Avenue, which is First Avenue.

In order to ensure that the dignitaries and celebrities who live in the first half of First Avenue can get effective rescue at the first time when they need help, two to three ambulances and firetrucks are stationed in the middle of Imperial Avenue all year round, ready to be dispatched anytime and anywhere.

After simple confirmation, the doctors and nurses thought that there was no need for on-site rescue. This was a very obvious coma caused by a fall and possible craniocerebral injury. Further diagnosis and treatment were required and they had to go back to the hospital. Only with professional equipment could they finally recover. confirm.

People watched Powers being carried into the ambulance amidst a lot of discussion, and some people's eyes occasionally drifted past Du Lin's body. It was obvious that some people had begun to doubt Du Lin.

"You and I come..." Your Excellency the Chairman called Du Lin's name, and the two returned to His Excellency's office one after the other. After closing the door, Your Excellency the Chairman poured two glasses of wine and gave one to himself. A cup was given to Du Lin, with a sad expression on his face, "Powers has a very special position as the leader of the new party. If the hospital thinks that he needs to be hospitalized for a long time, it may affect the normal development of our work."

Du Lin took it and was dismissed. He frowned and nodded, "That's true. Now we can only hope that Your Excellency Leader's injury is not serious, and he can return to work as soon as possible."

The two seemed to be really worried about Powers' accident. After waiting for about seven or eight minutes, the phone on the desk rang suddenly.

Your Excellency the Chairman apologized, walked to the desk and picked up the phone. He was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Du Lin in some doubts, hesitated a few times, and hung up the phone.

He stood still, looked at Du Lin, and said with a complicated expression, "The hospital called, they told me that the ambulance used to transport Powers had an accident when it ran a red light..."

Dooling expressed his disbelief very vividly, "This is really bad!"

Your Excellency the Chairman couldn't help laughing twice, shaking his head while laughing, "Yes, this is really too bad, it looks like we should prepare in advance."

The news that Powers stumbled and fell down the stairs spread throughout the streets and alleys of the entire imperial capital in less than twenty minutes, and radiated to the entire empire at an even more terrifying speed.

No matter what people think of Powers, as the leader of the new party, he is the specific representative of the new party. If something happens to him, it will inevitably remind people of the recent situation of the new party.

Some superstitious people may even think that this is a punishment from God.

At night, the little secretary returned to the apartment in shock. Everything she encountered during the day made her feel suffocated. Even on the way back, she felt that someone was following her, and she felt that someone was trying to harm her.

After the initial fear faded away, she realized that she had been passively involved in a political conspiracy. Unknowingly, she became an accomplice of the murderer. Thinking that Powers treated her preferentially, she felt guilty for a while Anxiety and uneasiness occupied her whole heart.

Just as she was enduring the torment, the sudden ringing of the doorbell made her tremble. She looked at the door in horror, and the constant ringing of the doorbell made her feel scared.

For about ten minutes, no one outside the door left, and they would ring the doorbell every two minutes or so, as if people outside knew she was at home.

She walked into the door lightly, and slowly approached the cat's eye to look out through the cat's eye. When the light from outside appeared in her eyes, she suddenly covered her mouth and took a step back.

The person outside, also looking in through the cat's eye, saw a huge eye that took up all her vision.

"Ma'am, I have your things. Please open the door and sign for it." The voice of the person outside the door was more clear, and the secretary was very sure that the people outside must have seen her just now.

She walked to the window and looked out, the height of the sixth floor... She would die if she jumped down, right?

She went to the kitchen again. There was no trace of oily smoke in the clean and tidy kitchen, not to mention sharp kitchen knives, not even knives and forks. She didn't cook here, let alone eat here.

The man outside the door was no longer satisfied with ringing the doorbell, he slammed on the door, the door slammed and shook, as if he didn't know when it would be hammered open, "Ma'am, I saw you, please open the door to sign for it." thing."

The little secretary was about to cry. This was something she suddenly thought of. She ran into the living room, picked up the phone, dialed the police number, and at the same time shouted loudly to the outside, "I have already called the police. If I were you , I will leave now!"

The sound outside the door seemed to disappear, there was no doorbell, no beating, and the siren in the distance made her feel safe. About two minutes later, the doorbell rang again, "Ma'am, someone called the police just now. ,Yeah?"

Through the peephole, she saw two men in police uniforms standing outside the door, one of them was holding a clipboard, recording something.

She was just about to open the door, but when her hands touched the safety, she stopped for a moment.

Through the cat's eyes, she saw another person standing at the edge of her sight. That person was obviously not a policeman, but more like a courier delivering goods.

They... are a gang, this is a fake police!
