Enforcer's Handbook
Chapter 694: If a friend comes from afar, he will be killed no matter how far away he is.
Song Lan and Lu Xiang stayed in the bureau for a whole afternoon before someone finally came to visit them.
When the visitor entered the door, both parties were stunned for a long time.
Song Lan didn't expect that only a few hours later, they would meet their old friend Hogg Foster again. However, compared with his desolate appearance in the bar, Hogg looked much more energetic now, and even Somewhat high-spirited.
He had thought that the person who came to see them would be an agent selected by a high-level council.
Hogg was stunned because the two suspects in the room were not wearing handcuffs or shackles. They seemed to be sitting calmly on the sofa. There was instant coffee on the coffee table in front of them. The woman named Mo Lian in the information Holding a handful of magazines in his hand, he only glanced at him lightly as he entered.
These two people had no consciousness of being detained at all, but instead regarded this place as their own home.
"Mr. Lu Qi, Ms. Mo Lian, I think you should know the purpose of my visit."
He moved a chair and took out the documents from the briefcase and placed them in front of the other party one by one. "These are relevant procedures. After all, you have made outstanding contributions to the coalition government. The High Council does not want to mess with this matter." It’s too embarrassing. If you can take the initiative to admit your crimes, we can handle this matter coldly.”
Not long ago, he received a call from Jock.
The other party seemed to be a different person on the phone. He greeted him warmly as he had done many years ago, as if what happened last night had never happened. He also said that he had introduced himself to the High Council, The congressmen are very welcome to join him, as long as he can prove the treason charges committed by Rob Luqi and Mo Lian.
After this incident, Jock will also introduce himself as a member of the Fishing Boat Club, and the next event will be in a few days.
Everything seemed to be going in the direction he had hoped for.
Taking the seat vacated by the Secretary-General and becoming a member of the High Council will not only allow him to sweep away the haze of the past, but he will also have more power than before.
As a politician, it would be difficult for him to refuse such a generous reward.
Compared with interests and power, the battle of will is insignificant.
As for unjust, false and wrongful convictions?
This is so common in the coalition government that it is so common that it is not enough to stand alone as an issue.
"Is this what you mean or what the High Council means?"
Song Lan stared at Hogg, who was only a coffee table away from him, feeling heavy in her heart. Perhaps fate was pushing their new friend to the ending he should have had last night.
"Even if the high-level council does not intervene, I will still pay attention to this case. You should take a look at the procedures first."
Hogg pushed the procedure to the two of them, "According to the information I have collected, there is no valid evidence for your accusations. All suspicions are just speculation. If this case appears in the trial court, you will undoubtedly Achieve victory.”
This is why the High Council does not want this matter to be exposed to the public.
Their current foundation is not yet stable, and public opinion may have a great impact on them. During the investigation, Hogg also learned some other interesting tidbits - not all members are willing to establish a high-level parliament, at least they have This time the selection was not satisfactory.
The Secretary-General had planned for a long time and took advantage of the tense atmosphere caused by the attack and death of the chairman of the Senate to win more than half of the votes in favor. Without the chairman of the Senate, no one could veto this new establishment with one vote. of institutions.
Hogg missed the vote due to drinking and was defaulted to abstaining from voting. However, a member who attended the meeting that day told him that the vote for this bill at that time was 52% in favor and 43% against, and other members did not vote. I abstained from voting knowingly.
All signs indicate that if someone carefully planned this assassination, it must have been the dead Secretary-General.
And he was killed because he knew too many secrets and was silenced.
In this way, the recent turmoil in District 1 can be explained - the real mastermind is still alive, and is probably a member of the High Council.
Song Lan was startled by Hogg's words. He was a little unsure of the other party's intention and asked, "What exactly do you want to say?"
Could it be that their new friend Mr. Hogg finally stopped playing the clown and started to grow a brain?
"I want to say that if you refuse to plead guilty, they will not be able to take any substantive action against you. They can only find ways to drag you, because once this matter is brought to the court, the situation will be extremely unfavorable to them... ...These are some of my personal opinions. Indeed, I was entrusted by a friend who hopes that I can persuade you to plead guilty, but in this matter of judicial reputation, it is inevitable that we will have different opinions."
This is of course a lie.
The whole world knows how much dirt the Foster family has on sentencing, but no one has ever been able to challenge them in this area.
"And I didn't have just one friend, so I asked a new friend for advice."
Hogg admits that he almost got carried away with excitement when Jock offered him a seat on the High Council.
He really needs this position so that the growing doubts in the family can disappear, and he believes that after handling this case, Jock will indeed fulfill their promise.
But the question is, what will happen after he joins the High Council?
They assassinated the chairman of the Senate, and then silenced the secretary-general in his office. The process was so bizarre that until now, the special investigation team has not been able to find any clues about the murderer, and the high-level council randomly blamed the two men. A person who lacks motivation.
“So that new friend gave me some valuable advice.”
Hogg said, "This is a road of no return. If I go down this road, sooner or later, like the Secretary-General, I will be found dead in my office, with a bullet in my chest by an unknown murderer." hole."
He knew very well that this was an extremely risky decision, and it might also be the most serious decision he had ever faced in his life, because once the High Council found out that he had betrayed the Council, they would spare no effort to assassinate him.
"What do you think?"
Song Lan's question brought him to this crossroads again. No matter which direction he took a step, there was no turning back.
Countless thoughts flooded into Hogg's brain. He eliminated all the miscellaneous items and only remembered the parts that bothered him the most.
This allowed him to come up with the final answer, and his eyes became extremely firm, "I can't forgive Jock for what he did. I want to know what conspiracy they have in the Fishing Boat Club."
But at the same time, Hogg knew it wasn't enough on his own.
"I know what you are doing in District 2. Richard Gilvis was my best friend and I want to hear an answer from you firsthand."
He and Song Lan looked at each other, "Richard, have you changed too?"
"On the eve of the outbreak of the Iris Consortium's civil war, a small-scale battle broke out underground at the Wax Museum. The aftermath of the battle destroyed the surface, and only then did people discover the bones of the former leader."
Hogg nodded.
This was basically consistent with what he had learned. It was also that night when Richard Gilvis was accused of murdering his uncle, escaped and was never heard from again.
"We don't know if he did it, but there is one thing I can tell you - on that night, Richard had his head chopped off by Rose. If you have the chance, you can confirm this from Rose yourself. thing."
Hearing this, Hogg's pupils shrank, "Is he dead?"
"He is still alive." Song Lan said, "A person who is still alive after his head is chopped off. This is Richard now. Maybe your friend Jock is the same."
"I see."
Hogg took a deep breath. Things seemed worse than he imagined. He had also seen the news about parasitic worms coming from District 17 before. He was drunk at the time and just thought it was fabricated by boring people. Eye-catching fake news.
"I have an idea, Mr. Lucci."
Through the Iris Consortium, he also understood that this person named Rob Luqi was very strong, not even weaker than the six-star rescuer.
During the Foster family's most glorious period, they also had a six-star rescuer, but the other party, like other colleagues, failed to survive the darkest era.
"I heard that disguise is a special skill of MI7. I can send two people who look exactly like you back to the Sixth District. In this way, we can buy nearly half a month before the trial officially begins. .”
Hogg explained his plan, "During this half month, the Fishing Boat Club will hold a party. I hope you can protect my safety at that time."
This is a win-win deal, and this time, he doesn't intend to leave himself any way out.
But this does not mean that he is a fool and is willing to completely hand over his life to a stranger he has only met once, "But Mr. Lucci, I can't die. Once I die, or become like them, all The judgment against you will continue."
"A fair sale."
………………………………
This evening, the High Council once again received unexpected news.
Rob Luqi and Mo Lian are willing to cooperate with the investigation.
Now that the two have been sent back to the Sixth District to await trial, Hogg told the senior council members that they can decide the time of the trial and let the two stay in the Sixth District indefinitely until the situation in the First District is completely stable. Come down.
This is exactly what the high-level council wants to see most. Their current top priority is to take over MI7 and the counterintelligence department as soon as possible.
But……
This was so smooth that they always felt there was something fishy in it.
"Can Hogg-Foster be trusted?"
They had to consult Jock again.
"It does not matter."
Jock shook his head lightly, "No matter what conspiracy he has, he will take the initiative to confess it to God during the party."
Thanks for grabbing a handful of the 100 starting coins as a reward!
