"Conscience. It is the realization of the existence of a moral court within ourselves. Whatever way we choose to do it. Live in this universe. Perhaps we can find a passage through the rat crawling ground in the glamour of the Charterland. Maybe we can make the letter of the law just those yellowed papers. Fragmented electronic data. But when we grow old. Always look back at yourself. Take a look at the verdict in your own heart. ”

"People. There has never been a truly universal world. There is no absolute fairness. But all the people of the land are on the path of seeking harmony and fairness. Perhaps the landdoers will break the sticks. Drive away the wild beasts of the ground on the road. But maybe the next moment. That stick will become the work of our oppressive companions. Deep in everyone's heart. There will be a beast. We need to do it. It's just throwing those sticks away. And in a non-bestial way. to deal with our disputes. ”

George Carlin said. The greatest injustice in federal society is the unfair appropriation of information by class. This is a simple and thought-provoking judgment. People. Think about it. For federal things in the middle. How much do we know? Do we know if things are real? We know the ground. Is it something that some people want us to know? If there's no information that is actually shared. Then we use it to deal with disputes between each other. Is it already in a state of inequality? Are we going to be angry and pick up the sticks again?"

"People. We need to change. We need to change more than superficially. It's about changing at the deepest level. From the pond in the past. Fish that do not grow out of the pond are required to jump out of the pond. ”

"From information sharing to thinking deeply. I often think of the ordinary building on the outskirts of the capital. That one-way road. I was thinking about the glorious blessing of the Charter, which blessed the millions of people in the Commonwealth to live in peace and tranquility. But do we need to change something accordingly? Of course. This should be many years from now. ”

"People. Federally change is imminent. And to be able to drive that change. And let that change be a fact. It's you. It's just you. The autumn of the sixty-seventh year of the constitutional calendar has arrived. Ballot papers are being issued under the supervision of the Election Commission. Your fingers will decide it all. ”

"I'm a councillor from the S2 region, Medellín. I came to this pond of the Federation. I want to make a change. I need you to vote for Governor Ross and me. This is a sincere and direct request. ”

It has been a few days since Xiao Wenjing was transferred from the Second Section of the Capital Procuratorate. He knew that it was probably the aftermath of the murder at the Hushan crossing.

The office is located in a building next to Charter Square. This building is the expatriate agency of the Federal Ministry of Justice. Until today. All he knew was that the agency was supposed to belong to the Department of Investigation and Law Enforcement. But I don't understand. There have been no recent federal cases that require independent investigation. Why was it recently sent to the office with a paperwork. It appears that they are all applying for appointment by an independent prosecutor to the Federal Council of Management.

Nothing to do left or right. He picked up the newspaper in his hand and continued to flip through it. I'm going to finish reading that column in Congressman Medellín. As a federal prosecutor. I don't know how many dirty deals within the Federation have been seen. Lots of shady. But he still retains his faith in the judiciary and his love for the system. He wasn't a man who liked to get involved in politics. But I have some feelings about the article of the Medellín parliamentarian.

This is the seventeenth consecutive article published by the Medellín parliamentarian in the daily newspaper of the capital. Since the terrorist attack on the S2 concert around the mountains and four states. This is how the Medellín parliamentarians communicate with their constituents in the federal territories. This was once the No. 2 leader of the ** army. Sure enough, he is recognized by the federal people as a political figure who is a disciple of St. George. Seventeen articles of a political nature. It encompasses all aspects of the political and economic life of the Federation. The language is simple and easy to understand. On the one hand, he expounded on the political ideas related to the presidential candidacy of Ross and himself. On the one hand, he called on the entire Federation to continue on the path of reconciliation and non-violence. Usually language. Add to that the legendary political experience of this parliamentarian. Those square words began to reveal extremely attractive power.

The first sixteen political essays came out. The people of the Federation rushed to read it. It is inconvenient for scholars and professors in the academic community to express tendentious opinions. But it is also said that he admires the Medellín parliamentarian very much in private. As a returnee. An opposition parliamentarian. At the same time very well aware of the drawbacks of federal politics. It is also possible to put forward proposals for reform with such a rational attitude. It's not just radical.

Today is the seventeenth political commentary. And the last one. Congressman Medellín has changed his calm and gentle tone. At first, some of the more striking words and inflammatory tones were used. There are the first sixteen specific speculations and arguments. This is the last concluding remarks. It's really imposing on the ground. Determination was sudden.

"It's a bit of a hot feeling. This congressman dared to mention the reform of the Charter Bureau. It's really a lot of guts. Xiao Wenjing put down the newspaper in his hand. Stilted up and began to browse the Internet for those posted with interest. These days. He's just like the average federal citizen. Mainly in the download of the blueprint that was named the Purple Haiti MX mech beautifully.

It was at this time. Notifications flash on the light screen. He stood up. I tidied up the inspector's uniform. Walk towards the upstairs ground office. After entering the office. He saw the middle-aged prosecutor in front of the office. I couldn't help but freeze in place. After hesitating for a while, he said, "Teacher?"

The middle-aged prosecutor's eyes were sunken. A serious face. After hearing this call. Raising his head, he said, "I am now the independent prosecutor personally appointed by the Minister of Justice. ”

Xiao Wenjing immediately understood. There must be a big case in the Federation. Otherwise, the Ministry of Justice would not have let the teacher come out of the academy to take over. He was stunned for a moment and then thought that he had been transferred to this department. Could it be that the teacher has been taking on this case since a long time ago? That's why I transferred myself to help. But the question is, why haven't I heard any rumors before?

"What is the case?" he walked over to the independent prosecutor's desk. On the table is a small sword representing federal law and justice.

"Do you still have faith in federal law?" the middle-aged prosecutor looked up. Look at the student who you value the most. He knows better than anyone the embarrassing role the prosecutor's office played in the murder case at the Hushan crossing. I also know the current state of mind of this student. So I didn't answer him. Instead, such a question was asked.

Xiao Wenjing glanced at the small sword on the table. Very seriously, he said, "Yes." ”

"That's good. I can tell you. The Ministry of Justice authorized me to independently investigate the case. And related to the Medellín parliamentarian. A total of seventeen charges await the councillor. The middle-aged prosecutor said expressionlessly.

Xiao Wenjing heard the name of Councillor Medellin. Seventeen counts were heard. Think of those seventeen political essays again. Subconsciously think of a lot of things. A look of boredom and disgust flashed in his eyes. Slightly self-deprecating, he said: "There are really countless political conspiracies in the Federation. ”

The middle-aged prosecutor was not surprised by the student's reaction. Because when the Minister of Justice first informed himself of the place. That's the way I think myself. Today, Medellín legislators are assisting Governor of Ross in his presidential election. It's at this time. The federal government wants to investigate him. If there is no political shady thing involved. I'm afraid no one will believe it.

"I read all this in my office. Then express your opinion. He frowned and reprimanded: "The prosecutor should have his own independent judgment. And we must not be deceived by the so-called public opinion and external image. This was the first lesson I gave you that year. Have you forgotten?"

Xiao Wenjing bowed her head and admitted her mistake. Walk in front of the computer. Begin to take a serious look at the material that has been organized into four parcels. The more he looked at it, the more frightened he became. I couldn't believe my eyes. The member of parliament of Medellín, who is known for his advocacy of non-violence. Who is behind so many terrorist attacks?

As a highly professional prosecutor. Xiao Wenjing didn't take long. It was determined that these materials were definitely not used by anyone with a heart to frame the Medellín parliamentarians. Of course he didn't know at this time. These are a good spy called Shi Ching Haiti. It took countless nights to gather information. I just thought about it subconsciously. If these things are verified. I'm afraid that the entire federation will usher in a great shock.

I don't know how long it took. Xiao Wenjing finally finished reading these shocking materials. His brow furrowed gradually.

"Presidential candidates. After being registered with the Electoral Commission. Temporary relevant exemptions. He looked at his teacher worriedly. "These materials can only work on the basis of reason. But it can't be used to help with the accusation. ”

"What's your judgment?" the middle-aged prosecutor didn't answer. Instead, he asked directly.

"I think the Medellín parliamentarian is suspicious. Xiao Wenjing combed through the materials in her mind again. Said very cautiously.

"The Medellín parliamentarians have the power of immunity. So the investigation can only be carried out in secret. The Ministry of Justice has opened the authority. However, it is not possible for the Federal Management Council to apply for the establishment of an independent prosecutor at present. So I'm a temporary guy now, too. ”

Xiao Wenjing understood the main work done in this organization a few days ago.

"You have the authority to transfer the police department. Federal Administration of Land Resources. The middle-aged prosecutor looked at him and said, "If there is no evidence." You're going to have to find the evidence. Don't forget. We are the Federation. He's just a suspect. No matter how old and spicy politicians. And never try to hide in front of the law. Do you have that confidence?"

"Yes. Xiao Wenjing replied.

"Good. The middle-aged prosecutor laughed. Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the newspaper column of the Medellín parliamentarians. "I don't know if this vice presidential candidate has a morality tribunal in mind," he whispered. But I'd love to remind him. The federation is the existence of a real court. ”

Xiao Wenjing nodded. But I knew it in my heart. If the Medellín parliamentarian had really been elected vice president of the Federation. With the efficiency of the Federal Management Council with decentralization. There is certainly no way to pass an impeachment bill or an independent investigation bill. Then at least for the duration of the term. It will be difficult for the Justice Department to continue this investigation. The Medellín parliamentarians will be safe.

That's when he suddenly realized. It turns out that the ballot in my hand is also very important.

At the same moment. The Capital Region is home to major media outlets on Carbin Street. Inside a building inside the editor-in-chief's office. A much more heated argument erupted than on the Justice Department's side. Or rather, a quarrel. The editorial office of the Capital Daily has staged this kind of drama all year round. It's like the moon eclipse pattern on the outside of the newspaper building. There is no such thing as perfect peace.

"I need a reason. You have to give me a reason today! I got three reporters and seventeen paparazzi. Seventy thousand federal coins were spent. I finally verified a little bit of the anonymous information on the ground. Written into a few hundred words of tofu cubes. You actually pressed it down? and three times in a row!"

Mr. Wood, senior political journalist of Capital Daily. Angrily looked at the editor-in-chief. Very angry, he yelled, "Mr. Bob." What exactly do you want to do? Do you also want to offend politicians? And turned into a piece of rubbish that has forgotten the code of conduct for newspaper practitioners?"

Editor-in-Chief Bob glanced at the closed glass door. Make sure that this conversation between yourself and the old buddy will not be overheard by anyone. I was a little relieved. He was silent for a moment. He shook his head with a wry smile. Said: "Wood." Don't forget that I'm also a journalist. He is also the chief reporter of the Capital Daily. I know better than anyone else the purpose of the daily newspaper. The half-eclipsed moon outside is constantly reminding us. But you still can't publish this report. ”

"Half of the moon was eclipsed. It's up to us to find out why. This was when the Federation opened up the Donglin Region. Journalists need to break through the government blockade and say a famous word. Mr. Wood sat down with a calm face. "Even the government is not afraid of local pressure. I don't understand. Do you want to watch a politician who deceives the world? The army is in front. **Federal voters followed. That's how to become a vice president?"

"The problem is that there is no real evidence in your investigation. Editor-in-chief Bob frowned and said, "Such a report is out." You know exactly how much pressure the newspaper has to bear. Now the key question is. We are not dealing with the government. Rather, he is a politician who is highly respected by federal voters. We have to be careful to verify. ”

"It's a scientist's business. A journalist only needs to report objectively what he finds. As for what readers will associate with these news facts. What to find. That's not something we should be concerned about. The Wood reporter cut him off.

"Our newspaper has always been known for its impartiality and objectivity. The editor-in-chief also began to get angry. He slapped the table and shouted, "But now you're going to use this report to influence the presidential election." Or a candidate from the opposition. But there is no real evidence. What will the whole federation think of our newspapers? They will think that you or I are just a journalist. And so they sent out the report, and they just thought that we were under pressure from some of the federal forces. Act as a thug for politicians. Suppressing one has no roots in the Federation. Less than two years after he joined the management committee, he advocated non-violence!"

That's a long story. Editor-in-chief Bob was also a little out of breath after he finished speaking. He took a sip of his coffee. In a hoarse voice, he said, "If you can find tangible evidence." I'm desperate not to be the editor-in-chief. I will also agree with you to report on the release. But if you can't find it. I can't agree more. ”

"It is precisely because our newspaper is known within the Union for its impartiality and objectivity. That's why the reporter gave us such important information. "Mr. Wood is not as agitated as he used to be. With a hint of sadness, he said, "I understand what you mean. But we're just journalists. If only we could investigate what was going on behind the Medellín parliamentarians. So what does the Department of Justice do? What do you need judges to do? We're just fact-tellers. Those facts are on your desk. If none of this can be reported. How do we deal with the trust of that brave informant?"

"There are many kinds of facts. I don't need to write it. Readers see that the afterland has a different perception. The editor-in-chief said wearily: "I can't take that risk." If let the entire federation readers. They all think that we have become politicians. Who is responsible for the newspaper's 10,000-year-old reputation?"

"I'll try to be as objective as possible. ”

"Needless to say. The editor-in-chief watched as he entered the newspaper with him. Frowning and saying, "Don't forget." The object of your investigation. Most likely, he will be the next vice president. According to the latest poll. Ross and his ground partner support ratings. Already approaching the Pabul parliamentarian. ”

"And according to my local sources. This afternoon, Ross Medellin is the running mate. There will also be heavyweight bombs thrown out. At times like these. We at a newspaper should not expect to be able to reverse the attitudes of the federal electorate. ”

The Wood reporter was silent for a long time. Suddenly, he asked, "Did the board of directors give you any hints?"

The capital daily is an institution under Sanlin United Bank. Sanlin Union Bank is one of the seven major families of the Federation. And the Li family is in this presidential election. Strong supporters of Ross Medellín.

For these journalists, who have been in the press for many years. None of these things are secrets. Seeing that unfavorable reports against the Medellín parliamentarians were suppressed. Wood naturally thought of this.

Bob, the editor-in-chief, looked at him coldly. It was a long time before he said, "You're underestimating me." ”

Wood was silent for a moment. I believe that the editor-in-chief is not such a person. He said, "I'm sorry. I'm a little emotional today. ”

"I'm not not going to let you report. It takes a moment. Journalists are best known for beating water dogs. There is no need for those hypocritical mercy. Editor-in-Chief Bob sighed. Whispered: "Now the Medellín councillor has not fallen into the water. It's not appropriate for us to strike at this time.

Wood understood what the editor-in-chief meant. "The problem is that the fall elections are coming soon," he said. Where can I find the right time at this time?"

"I believe there must be land. Bob muttered to himself. I looked at the column of the Medellín parliamentarian in my newspaper. Suddenly, a trace of disgust welled up in my heart. Throw the newspaper in the trash.

He looked up and said calmly to the Wood reporter, whom he respected, "If the federal district court is not in work by then. The Medellín parliamentarian's inner morality tribunal also did not work. Then our local newspaper will have to become his moral court. Although this is very inappropriate a practice. ”
