Chapter 64 Crime Investigation
......
......
The Stadium assassination was successfully buried by the federal political axe, and if a major scandal broke out on the first day of the new year involving the military in the assassination of civilians, the president to the secretary of defense, from the director of the FBI to the governor of Linhai Prefecture, would not be able to have a good year.
Although they knew very well that the assassination targets were not real civilians, the cold tone of the lady on the phone made it clear to them that the federal axe must really investigate the matter thoroughly, rather than just find a scapegoat as has happened in countless political events throughout history...... However, the political axe still needs to hide the truth from the public, because the political axe in the last year of his term can no longer withstand more storms.
Fortunately, the lady acquiesced to the attitude of the political axe, and even used the influence of the family to help the political axe silence most of the media. On the evening of the same day and the next day, there was no report on the TV news and in the major authoritative paper or electronic newspapers about the assassination of the gymnasium in Linhai Prefecture University Town, but on the contrary, the entertainment and life column focused on describing the grand scene of Miss Jian Shui'er's first concert in her life.
The media reporters that the political axe did not want to face collectively lost their voices in front of this incident, on the one hand, because they were under pressure from all sides, and on the other hand, because they keenly smelled a certain breath within the federation, they were waiting, waiting to see if the political axe would give the media and the public some explanation.
However, some people who dispersed late once witnessed a black mecha breaking through the wall and rushing onto the northeast highway in the snowstorm in the gymnasium......
These people can't erase their memories, and they don't see any answers in the newspapers, so they can only turn them into rumors circulating on Internet message boards, and shocking headlines that have always been extremely unpopular in the tabloids.
......
......
On the day of the assassination, the investigation of the powerful federal agencies was already under way with great urgency, because the heads of various ministries and bureaus had received calls from the office of the President or from some of the most important members of the Governing Council. The federal axe's huge state apparatus began to work, and in the shortest possible time, they found out more from the pilot named Nado.
Why did a federal combat hero, a four-time Purple Star Medal winner, become a shameless assassin? This is a matter for historical critics and families to think about, and the investigators of the federal political axe did not focus on this place, but directly investigated the capital d.c.
In the very short period after the assassination, Secret Service agents and FBI officers, under the protection of the support forces sent by the Gendarmerie Command of the Ministry of Defense, each rushed into the training center next to the Defense Department building in more than a dozen military vehicles, and arrested a total of 93 officers of all levels of the Second Military Region from the front line of the S2 Region under the stunned eyes of countless federal soldiers.
The interrogation began at a rapid pace that night, with no torture, no electric shock, only bright lights, ubiquitous surveillance equipment, and interrogators and recorders as cold as metal.
The interrogation was fruitless, and the officers who had returned from the front and had sacrificed their youth and sweat for the Federation looked indifferently at the officers in front of them, their eyes full of anger and disdain, and those officers who thought they had been insulted began to curse.
After a half-night stalemate, the interrogators brought the officers together. The director of the FBI's General Section 4, who was in charge of leading the investigation of the assassination, looked coldly at the proud and fearless officers in front of him, and after a moment of silence, he said: "As a federal soldier, there are reasonable ways to express your wishes...... There is no one who does not respect what you have done for the Federation, but as a soldier, you should respect the law. ”
"Some of you know, some of you may not. But what I want to say is that the Charter Bureau has identified the Linhai State Stadium incident as a ...... The first sequence of events. ”
"You should know exactly what to do with the first sequence of events. The senior FBI's eyes narrowed slightly, and the cold light grew, "Stop trying to cover it up or quibble about your crimes! That will only bring more shame on your family!"
The officers were escorted back to the training centre by heavily armed gendarmes, but by this time they had become suspects rather than federal pillars with a bright future. Just after the men left the temporary interrogation room, an official walked up to the head of the fourth section and said in a low voice: "The central control computer of the Charter Bureau marks the third series of events...... Besides, even the first sequence of events didn't help the case much. ”
"Those old ancestors and little ancestors of the Charter Bureau are the most good at playing mystery. The director of the fourth section lowered his head slightly and said: "Where do these officers know about the sequence of events, I just give them some time to think about it and be afraid." ”
In the early hours of the next morning, perhaps because of the instinct of reverence for the glorious nature of Charter One, or perhaps because the officers had a clearer understanding of the majesty of the law, the ploy of the senior FBI official clearly worked.
No one turned themselves in, no one explained who organized the assassination, how the black M52 mecha belonging to the First Military Region was handed over to the hands of those colonels, and what orders the military team sent to the gymnasium received.
Seven officers committed suicide in their rooms, none of whom could be resuscitated.
In this simple way, they expressed their reverence for the First Charter and the law, the protection of their superiors, and the ideas they were willing to trade their lives for.

......
That night, a dinner was being held at the presidential residence between the president and the Nebula Award winners, and after the dinner, there was a routine dance, but the scholars who were already dying of old age obviously did not dance, they just looked at the pair of dance partners politely and reservedly, and the applause kept ringing, and everything seemed so lively and happy.
President Sieg is about to end his second term this year, and it seems that he is really reluctant to give up on the official residence ball, and the people around him with sincere smiles on their faces look at the president and the first lady who are slowly spinning, but they give disdainful comments in their hearts.
This president is undoubtedly the most unimpressive president in the history of the Federation, because during his tenure in office, there were no deeds worth writing about, his surname was cowardly and rude, and he did not have the demeanor of the army at the beginning.
But President Sieg is undoubtedly the luckiest president in the history of the Federation, and during his 10-year presidency there were no incidents that could lead to impeachment proceedings. The war between the Federation and the Empire ended after he was elected, and the [***] army of the four states around the mountains in S2 has been in the belly of the Federation for so many years anyway, and no one will accuse him of not solving this problem.
"It must be said that President Sieg has at least been cautious enough, and this is actually an excellent quality. ”
A handsome official, who was not very old, silently looked at Mr. President, who had been with him for five years, and gave a different comment in his heart, and then, his face changed slightly, and he walked out of the crowd and came to a quiet corridor in the west area of the official residence.
This official named Bug is the deputy director of the office of the president's official residence, and he is responsible for handling a lot of affairs, so even in such a graceful dance, his mobile phone will still remain unblocked, but when he hears the unusual vibration pattern of the mobile phone in the inner pocket of the formal suit, he knows who is calling, so his expression becomes solemn.
"You've probably heard about the early morning thing. A woman's quiet voice came from the other end of the line.
"Yes, ma'am. Bug lowered his voice and smiled as he gestured to the office worker walking in front of him.
"I don't want something like this to happen again, because I don't want my son to survive and end up being the target of hatred for the entire federal military. The woman's voice on the other end of the line was calm and irresistible.
"No one thought that those officers would choose this way. After a moment of silence, Bugg said, "I'm afraid that as the investigation deepens, more people will choose to commit suicide or ...... Committed suicide. ”
"The investigation must be carried out to the end, and I need the real murderers to pay for such a shameless assassination...... I don't want to point fingers at the work of the political axe, but I just want to say that there are enough clues to be gleaned about this incident, and please don't just look at the officers of the Second Military District, as a federal citizen, as a mother of the victims, and find this a little difficult to accept. ”
Bug hung up the phone and fell into deep thought, he knew what Mrs. Tai's call meant, in this case, only he personally pointed out the work of the political axe. According to the information reported by the investigation team, it seems that the direction of the investigation is really going to touch those aspects that make the political axe uneasy.
He is a political axe official, but he is an official with a business surname, and no one knows that he is actually an official cultivated by the Tai family.
Also late that night, Tai Zhiyuan also received a call from his mother, knowing that the federal political axe's investigation of the crime, after changing the direction, had successfully approached the core area, and when he heard the name of the senior official, he was as calm as him, and he couldn't help but be stunned for a while.
Startled by the phone call and waking up from a nightmare, Tai Zhiyuan couldn't sleep anymore, he was wearing pajamas, sitting on the sofa by the orange lamp, silent for a long time, and some missed the oil cake porridge in those nights before.
At the earliest, it will be necessary to wait until dawn to confirm whether Xu Le is alive through the all-powerful central computer of the Charter Bureau from the chip signal.
