Chapter Ninety-Eight: Investigation Begins
Besides, I don't know why the middle-aged man on the other side of the table, who was dark-skinned and a little tired, thinking about the things that had happened over the years, and thinking of his wishes for Mr. President, Xu Le's mood was a little inappropriate, and he held his head high and said stiffly: "There are other people who really want to influence the judicial process, and it has nothing to do with me President Pabur threw the cold wet towel on the table hard, and criticized loudly in anger: "What is this? Or is it someone in the mansion who has put any pressure on the court?" "You don't, it doesn't mean that your subordinates didn't Xu Le thought of Director Brin's uncertain face in the shadows, and thought of the family representatives who were listening in the courtroom, and continued strongly: "It doesn't mean that those families don't, otherwise how could the curly-haired female judge make such a mentally weak judgment?"
He raised his head, looked at the slightly thin face of Mr. President without flinching, and said in a deep voice: "As for you and this mansion, silence" is an attitude in itself
Silence is acquiescence or indifference, President Pabul and the official residence have been silent about Xilin's affairs for more than a year, and have not expressed any opinions on that trial, which is the best opinion for the sharks who share the Xilin Zhong family's property, and this is the most difficult problem for Xu Le to accept.
The porcelain plate and silver fork on the dining table had long been cleaned up by the waiter, and the lonely flame on the candlestick in the middle jumped in the dimly lit room, and there were some traces of soup on the gold-wrapped dinner cloth.
With the sound of the corners of the heavy wooden chair dragging on the open brick floor, Mr. President stood up, he walked to the window, put his hands down behind his waist, his tired and sour body leaned up slightly, and drove his eyes through the glass, looking at the snow falling between the street lamps, and was silent for a long time.
"There's a very vulgar question. Mr. President did not look back, still staring at the scenery outside the window in a daze, and said: "Since becoming the president of the Federation, the scenery I have seen is the scenery that can be allowed to be seen after being reviewed by the Secret Service, this kind of scenery that has lost the taste of freedom." Isn't it a good view?"
Vaguely, Xu Le caught his true thoughts from his slightly hoarse voice, and slowly stood up with a cold wet towel in his right hand. Looking at the figure of a middle-aged man by the window, who was thin and still had extremely hard shoulders.
There's a more vulgar way of asking questions. The mirror reflected President Pabul's blurred face. The corners of his lips twitched slightly, and he laughed at himself, and said, "Are you "my person?".
This, the question is indeed very vulgar, whether it is from the content of the question or the way of asking the question, it is full of vulgarity, probably the worst gangsters in Donglin will use this tone to accept the younger brother, who would have thought that the most powerful Mr. President in the entire federation. actually didn't have the eloquent demeanor when he was a lawyer back then, so he threw out a vulgar saying.
So Xu Le was stunned, and after a while, he subconsciously narrowed his eyes, stood up straight, and raised his eyebrows with his right hand. He said in a deep voice: "As a federal soldier, of course I will obey your orders. This should not be the answer that President Pabur wants, but it is not the worst answer, so the president in the window smiled slightly, and said with a deep emotion: "I will say something about you as if you were my person", about this lawsuit in Cilin, I understand your anger, because many times. I was also angry
President Pabur quietly looked at himself in the window, in the snow, and in the light, and whispered: "I am angry at my own shamelessness and despicability" This shameless despicability lies in the fact that I clearly realize that the death of Commander Zhong is a very good thing for the Federation, and I must admit that whenever I think of it, I even feel very happy. ”
He turned around slowly, hiding tiredness in his sunken eye sockets, looked at Xu Le and said slowly: "Sometimes in the middle of the night, I even think about even more crazy things, if Commander Zhong and the tiger are still alive." Still holding dozens of powerful mechanics in his hands, he insisted on not being a pioneer, only in Xilin, and coldly watched the federal troops attack Xinghe from afar, "Will I push the government and the military to kill him by illegal means." ”
Xu Le was silent, he knew very well what Xilin meant to the expedition of the Federation, and he also knew very well that what Mr. President said was true, Commander Zhong was alive, and it was no good for the Federation. And his death can bring endless benefits to the Federation, in fact, the military radicals and the government bigwig who weave this conspiracy must also have this consideration.
However, he never imagined it. Mr. President would admit that he would think the same way. He looked up a little stunned, looking at the figure of President Pabul by the window, thinking about his sincere care and protection for himself over the years, thinking of his previous feelings, or maybe it was just because the figure of Mr. President by the window was too thin.
He decided to say something. Concave said mixed Shanshun book dry) novel umbrella. Xu Le, who needs an ancang, checked the black boil and made a clumsy lock. He advised President Pabur: "Otherwise, I wouldn't dare say those things." ”
President Pabul couldn't help but smile and waved his arm mockingly: "This is the official residence, where do you go to find a safer place?"
"I'm talking about information security. Xu Le replied calmly.
President Pabur frowned, his voice buzzing and powerful: "Do you think someone dares to spy on me?"
This kind of thing has not happened in history, Xu Le looked at him very persistently, carrying the black workbench and said, "Mr. President, you will find out later." There is no one around you who can be trusted
Mr. President's dark cheeks looked more and more calm. Press the call button and order the relevant staff to prepare.
While waiting, the first daughter who woke up in the middle of the night rubbed his eyes and walked downstairs. The girl who has been battling the disease is thin and cute, she gently hugged President Pabul, and then found Xu Le standing aside, the girl's eyes that were so indifferent that some heart palpitations suddenly shone brightly, but after all, she didn't dare to step forward to hug Xu Le, just squatted with her head down slightly, and ran back to her bedroom with her face covered.
This somewhat cute picture, if it were ordinary, would definitely be the content of Mr. President's joke or warning Xu Le, but the atmosphere in the middle of the night tonight was a little abnormal, only silence.
The Secret Service employees in black suits, like diligent ants who don't need to sleep, cleaned up the route as quickly as possible, and then protected Mr. President and Xu Le into the emergency tunnel under the official residence, and walked along the tunnel for about ten minutes, and the steps gradually extended upward. I guess I entered a building. "What kind of place is this?" Xu Le looked at the big iron gate in confusion and asked the third question, "Are you sure it's safer than the official residence?"
"This is the Treasury Department's fully shielded bond database. President Pabur smiled and turned to look at him. "Young man, welcome to the Federal Government's treasure room. ”
It was at this moment that the senior Secret Service director with a solemn expression spoke, "Mr. President. I strongly object to you and Colonel Xu Le entering the storeroom alone, which is a serious violation of the relevant regulations. ”
The senior executive looked at Xu Le indifferently. Those eyes were as sharp and sharp as a falcon: "Colonel Xu Le, I think you should understand the importance of discipline very well. ”
Xu Le did not answer.
"Don't worry about anything, Colonel Xu Le is the person I trust the most. Mr. President smiled and patted the senior executive on the shoulder and said, "If even he wants to kill me, it may mean that I really deserve to die, haha,"
Later this became a famous saying.
"That's my report. There is definitely something wrong with the attack on the Ancient Bell, but the most pressing problem right now is that the people around you, Mr. President, cannot be trusted, and it is easy for big problems to occur. ”
The fully shielded database deep underground, inheriting the usual exaggerated and luxurious style of the Ministry of Finance, there are as many as seven security clearances outside the library, Xu Le followed President Pabur into the treasury, but found that the treasury seemed empty, only a few cold computers did not know the silent operation of the years, so Xu Le's last words actually echoed several times before gradually subsided.
President Pabul had been staring quietly at the light curtain of the workbench, as if he was about to burn through the list and inferences on the light curtain, after hearing Xu Le's words. He got up and went to the wall full of vines. His right hand stretched out another finger and said hoarsely, "Please give me a cigarette." ”
Xu Le took out a Sanqi brand cigarette, put it between Mr. President's fingers, and lit it.
President Pabur took a deep puff of his cigarette. Choked and coughed, and suddenly, he roared angrily at the walls of the earth vines. It's like an enraged lion king. With the most vicious language and the most dangerous gestures, the anger of the annunciation is irrepressible.
He turned around, stared at Xu Le's eyes hoarsely and shouted, "You want me to believe in my vice president." And so many federal pillars, all of them are a bunch of murderers who do all kinds of evil? Evidence, you have to come up with evidence!"
The evidence was all found Xu Le replied in a low voice: "I know that the time to investigate Gu Zhongxiang's attack is very wrong now, but, "I can investigate secretly, I need the authorization of the Ministry of Justice."
President Pabur threw the cigarette roll to the ground, the expression on his face was complicated, and the sadness and anger were mixed with some indescribable emotions, and said softly: "If there is no authorization, you will not check?"
"Whether there is authorization or not, I will check it Xu Le replied.
President Pabur slowly raised his head, looked at the face of the young officer in front of him, and after a long silence, said firmly: "Then look it up." ”
