Blackstone Code Chapter 57: The complexity of human nature lies in the contradictions in human nature
If Joe Grimman just didn't know that Johnson was going to introduce him to a little guy, Johnson was sitting next to Lynch with a poop-eating expression on his face.
A little disgust, a little disgust, a little regret, a little temper that I can't even tell myself, and a face full of disgust.
Logically speaking, how could a director of the tax bureau introduce some important personal connections to a small person like Lynch, not to mention that he just gave himself a fist, and the whole tax system from top to bottom is not so good Safe.
Michael in particular, there was a rumor from the state office last night. Given the current pressure of public opinion, the idea above is to abandon Michael.
The top officials of the state office have repeatedly stated the position of the high-level in the conference call. It is not that the high-level leaders will give up their subordinates when they encounter things.
The IRS that fights head-on even has the army, and never knows what it means to beg for mercy, but the problem is that their bottoms are not clean, and the higher-ups come to wipe their bottoms, so don't blame the people above for being cruel.
They had given Johnson some hints to get Lynch to identify as a criminal as soon as possible - this is what the Sabine IRS said by itself, Lynch may be a criminal, and the person who has this idea , is Michael.
Like Commissioner Johnson thinks Lynch may not be so clean, but from the current point of view he clearly has no illegal activities, including his company's accounts, they still checked the entire warehouse when they took Lynch away, No abnormality was found.
The main reason why the public sentiment is boiling now is that Lynch himself is innocent. In addition to the various law enforcement conflicts in the past, it was mainly from the Bureau of Investigation and some people who helped to make things like this today.
As long as Lynch becomes a criminal, most people will have no sense of substitution. Although the Baylor Federation always advertises itself as a human rights country, it is clear that people's attitude towards criminals does not seem to be related to human rights. What a relationship looks like.
Attitude determines the trend and future of things. To get justice for a criminal, even stupid people will not do it.
It turns out that a week has passed. The Sabine City Tax Bureau has joined forces with the FBI, and the two strongest federal departments have joined forces to act together, but they have not found the slightest way to make Lynch's identity tag add one more "" criminal" label.
This made the middle and senior management of the tax bureau very embarrassed. If this trivial thing can't be done well, what else can the people below do well?
Of course, this can't be entirely blamed on these two major institutions. Now society's attention is focused on Lynch. Once there is any mistake in the process of nailing him into a criminal, it may make the current The situation is more passive.
So on the conference call they pointed out that since you can't save Michael, then dump him, and that's the responsibility of the City of Sabine Tax Office and Michael himself.
One is the low work ability of the Tax Bureau of Sabine City, and the second is that Michael himself has too many problems and has a bad temper.
The public outcry this time is also related to him. Without any evidence to testify against Lynch, he directly locked Lynch as a criminal suspect and hurt Lynch many times, causing such embarrassing consequences. , he has to pay for his actions.
At the same time, the state office also expressed the hope that the tax bureau of Sabine City will appease the emotions of the victims. Since they can't beat Lynch down with a stick, they will stand shoulder to shoulder with him, at least To get some image points back.
Facial?
I'm sorry, the IRS is an important federal agency. What's the personal honor or disgrace?
Besides that, there has been a meeting above to push for a different narrative, which is exactly what Lynch said to Commissioner Johnson at the kebab shop.
Since the middle and senior management decided to let Michael take the blame, they will definitely make his back fit tightly, tailor-made, and will not give him any chance to turn over. If he does not cooperate well with this matter, then the one who will be abandoned will be The leadership of the entire Sabine city tax bureau.
Now that things have come to this stage, it is obviously no longer possible for the local tax bureau chief to control the future. He can only cooperate with the above decision. He called Lynch in the morning, which means that he needs to be informed in the public opinion recently. Cooperate with the next action of the IRS.
At the same time, he also hinted that he had already considered the matter they were in the barbecue shop last time. This is an instinctive profit-seeking behavior. Although I did not lead the development of the matter, the outcome of the matter was in my own favor. At times, you confuse your own value in the whole thing.
It's like Michael got busy when he heard about a promotion opportunity, and if he succeeded, Director Johnson would definitely say that he did a part in his success.
If you can reap additional benefits without affecting your own interests, why refuse?
With such a phone call, Lynch happened to talk about what he wanted to know about the head of the credit department of the bank, no matter which bank it was, as long as it was a bank.
And this is also a quid pro quo for him to cooperate with the tax bureau in the future. He said this, "My recent work schedule is very full, and I may not be able to take care of media interviews. There are some mistakes, please be considerate!"
At this point, Director Johnson's heart can be said to be completely ruthless and irreversible.
His private meeting with Lynch and the current internal trends gave him a strange feeling that he "conspired" with Lynch to kill Michael, which is not so obvious, but it is there, Lynch is him one of his accomplices. ,
Coupled with the pressure from his superiors, this old director who was very talkative in the tax system of Sabine finally reluctantly agreed to Lynch's request, and this was the noon meeting.
But I have to say that he feels disgusting, not only is Lynch disgusting, but also disgusting himself. He thought he might be someone who is not very capable or strong enough, but has a clear standpoint, but he didn't expect that he would actually Such "weakness"!
"I won't say anything for you, that's what you said!" Looking at Lynch's natural calm, Director Johnson couldn't help but sneer.
Lynch didn't pay any attention to his cynicism, and even took out a small note from his pocket, put it in the napkin, and pushed it over.
Johnson frowned slightly. He took the napkin and took out a note with two lines of numbers typed on a typewriter, "What do you mean?"
Lynch smiled, "I heard that the banks in Langley are de-alphabetic. They think that the combination of numbers and letters will add too much burden to the work. I think the six major banks should also Consider doing this."
The bank accounts of the six major banks in the federation are all "custom accounts", most of which are a combination of numbers and letters, which actually increases the workload, makes the work slow, and is easy to cause mistake.
When Commissioner Johnson was about to continue to ask what it meant, he suddenly clenched his fist. There is no doubt that this note and Lynch's words can confirm that this is a bank account on Langley's side. .
Langlis is a neutral country, known as a haven for tax evasion, and is naturally full of various financial crimes, and some cases will also involve the Federation.
He stared at Lynch, his expression was a bit fierce, "This is a bribe, you are insulting me!"
Lynch shrugged~IndoMTL.com~ You know, no one is immune to anything (no one is independent from anything, doesn't interfere with its development, and isn't affected by it), and I don't need you Doing anything for me against federal interests is just a gift between friends. "
"Compared to the expression you are showing now, I think you can take this thing and try to find out the flow of funds between accounts, maybe find my little handle, or donate those things to those who need them. people, like Michael's wife."
"When he went to prison, Michael's family was on the verge of breaking up. His wife didn't work a day, and his children would be released next year. They needed money, and Michael couldn't give them..."
"We all know that Michael is innocent..." Lynch paused when he said this, then laughed, "Of course I don't mean I...you know, I'm also innocent. "
He looked at Director Johnson with a suffocating look in his eyes that could see through a person's heart.
Just as Director Johnson was suffering at this time, he had to do something because of his "betrayal" guilt. Lynch's words stimulated him and activated his inexplicable "responsibility".
Since there is no way to change the status quo to give Michael a result that may be just in the eyes of Commissioner Johnson, then take care of his family, after all his wife and his children need money.
When a person tries to heal their guilt, they do a lot of stupid things.
In this brief silence, Joe Grimman appeared ahead of time, and Director Johnson had no way to return the note to Lynch. He believed that even if he saw it, Joe Grimman would know the note. What was written, he dared not take the risk.
