Blackstone Code Chapter 747: Confrontation
"It's... unbelievable!"
In the office of the Second Execution Office of the Imperial Capital Branch of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Security of the Gefra Empire, Lynch looked at some of the materials in his hands in disbelief.
His expression does show enough sadness and surprise, like... no, it's true.
This is the truest thought in his heart at this time.
He put some of the materials in his hand back on the table, then cocked his legs and lit a cigarette.
Many times when Lynch smokes, he doesn't need nicotine supplements to promote the secretion of dopamine. What he needs is just a small prop that can divert other people's attention anytime, anywhere.
A cigarette, a pen, a nail clipper will do, but people are less wary of cigarettes and easier to use than the latter two.
It's amazing to say that most people don't pay too much attention to the cigarette in the hand of the person sitting across from them, and many times they ignore this thing in the process of communication.
But if ash falls on the ground, or falls on documents, or is pressed into an ashtray by the holder... people's attention will be inexplicably diverted, even if the diversion time may be short. two seconds.
But it does move and people think "this **** left soot on my stall" and "don't he know he's got a long ash on his ass" and at the end "he finally It's over, I'm almost done."
These little tricks can sometimes play a very important role, and when people are distracted, they have an almost instinctive stress response.
Everyone has this reaction, but some people are trained to be overwhelmed by reason, and only when they are distracted do their instincts regain their peak.
At the same time, people's thinking or an idea comes from nothing, not immediately. This generation will have a process, and this process will be interrupted.
Sometimes a mother walks towards her child while saying something, but because the child asks her to repeat a sentence, she instantly forgets what she just said and what she is going to do.
These little gestures can do the trick too, just seize the moment.
"Do you mind?", Lynch raised the cigarette in his hand, and the prosecutor of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, sitting across from the desk, shook his head.
Prosecutor of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, a special position, just like the Security Council, the focus of work is on detecting cases that threaten national security, but these cases are limited to domestic and involving government officials, as well as nobles .
If there are no government officials and no nobles in the case, then the seventh police force will be in charge, and some people call them "the emperor's lackeys".
Sometimes the Guevran's brain is like being kicked by a donkey. They respect and love their emperor, but sometimes they are very mean. These two expressions are often combined. One of the cultural features of Gafra.
"Baron Lynch, do you know this Mr. Richard?", the Home Office Inspector's expression was normal, there was no discernible change in seriousness, as if there was nothing on his face when he just woke up His expression showed no change in his inner emotions.
Lynch nodded, he picked up the information on the table and glanced again, "Richard used to be one of my partners, but then because of us...", he said and shook his head, "...some philosophical discord, and we stopped working together."
"You don't think I did it, do you?" Lynch said and laughed, his laughter was hearty, not nervous at all.
This performance made prosecutors realize that if Lynch really did this, they would face a formidable adversary, at least Lynch now behaves like a professionally trained man from his The subtle changes in the facial muscles, from his eyes, his pupils, and some of his small body movements, could not find any flaws.
It just means that either he didn't do it or he planned it.
This also makes the prosecutor a little puzzled. He has seen Lynch's information. This should not be a federal intelligence officer who has received any professional training. His trajectory is too detailed.
So detailed that anyone who has worked in espionage knows this can't be a problem!
It's like Lynch's information has the resume of every step of Lynch's life, such as the middle school and class he attended.
If you want to find this person, you can find his classmates' parents through the school, ask them if they have an impression of Lynch and show multiple photos to confirm Lynch's identity.
By controlling the time period and asking some questions to some people, it is possible to find out whether Lynch has been in contact with certain institutions, or whether it has been "missing" for a period of time.
Generally speaking, the identity information of the spy is said to be forged, but in fact it is still a little vague, not as detailed and detailed as Lynch's information.
How could he know that in another world, Lynch had undergone the most stringent interrogation system and had endured more than a dozen measures. For him, such an intensive interrogation was more like chatting.
The prosecutor's attention was refocused. He took out a few photos and put them on the table. "After you came to the Empire, you have been in contact with Richard many times. What did you guys talk about?"
Lynch glanced at a few photos on the table, which were clear and well angled, ensuring that Lynch was basically facing the camera and had plenty of room to identify his facial features.
These pictures were taken of him, and Richard was taken in by the way.
"I said, he and I ended our cooperative relationship in the federation because of some differences. I met him when I came here to be banned, and we just had a chat."
"You don't think I'm the type of person who expects my partner to be as bad as I am, or to go bankrupt at any moment, right?"
He has a smile on his clean face that makes it easy to believe him, "I just heard that his company is going public, congratulations to him on the success."
The prosecutor looked at Lynch and after reaffirming that the questions were worthless, he tried to make the question more aggressive, "We found a letter in Mr. Richard's jacket pocket, you want to know Is there anything written on it?"
Lynch nodded, "I'm curious."
"You don't want to watch?", the prosecutor asked quickly, reducing the time for Lynch to think.
But this little trick...
Lynch's response was also timely, "Can this important evidence be shown to me?"
Prosecutor: "Or do you actually know what's written on the letter?"
Lynch laughed again, "You shouldn't be a prosecutor, maybe a wizard or a psychic would be more suitable for you."
None of the two looked at each other without avoiding the other. Suddenly, the prosecutor's gaze was pulled by the soot that fell on the table. In less than half a second, the two's eyes were staggered. , and is not touched again.
It was tricky, and it kept prosecutors thinking there might be something wrong with Lynch.
He frowned when he came back to his senses. Lynch is an imperial noble. Although the Ministry of Internal Affairs is a security agency for these nobles and officials, they can't take measures against the nobles if they don't have definite evidence.
Otherwise, once the group of nobles in the Privy Council starts to make trouble, even His Majesty the Emperor will eventually give in.
The seemingly brief confrontation gave the prosecutor some ideas. He wanted to ask a few more intense questions, but thinking about it now, it's not the time.
"Baron Lynch, this case involves national security. You cannot leave the Empire until the case is solved. I hope you can forgive me."
"If you need anything in the future, I will contact you. Of course, if you have any clues or find anything of value, you can call me."
The prosecutor handed over a business card. Lynch snuffed out the cigarette **** in the ashtray.
"So?" Lynch opened his head in a tone that sounded like it was time to end.
In fact, the prosecutor did not want to end the inquiry immediately. The three days after the incident is the prime time for detection. If you miss this time, if the criminal who committed the crime is not caught, then some evidence will be lost. Factors such as value, criminal psychology, etc. will also become more stable.
But being interrupted twice made the prosecutor realize that there was little value in continuing, so he stood up and sent Lynch to the door, "Thank you for your cooperation, Baron Lynch, for delaying you. I'm very sorry."
The smile on Lynch's face remained the same, he held the prosecutor's hand and shook it slightly, "Although I am not a citizen of the empire, I still respect the laws of the empire and the security of the country. If you need my cooperation, just give me a call."
"You must know my phone number!" There is a hint of sarcasm in this sentence, but not too much.
Lynch didn't give the prosecutor a business card or tell him the phone number of where he lived, but both parties knew that Lynch was right.
The prosecutor nodded and released his hand.
Looking at the back of Lynch leaving~IndoMTL.com~ Prosecutors always believe that Lynch has something to do with this case no matter what!
Richard's death caused huge turmoil. After the listing, the scale of the round of financing was close to 600 million (fra), and the fifth golden coupon was still on sale.
Now it is revealed that the round financing book is suspected of falsifying the data, which may be a high-end scam, and the news that the largest shareholder is suspected of committing suicide because of fear of crime, the whole country is shaken.
Imperial Capital has started a parade to fight for its own rights and interests. I hope that the Empire can first pay the money in the round financing account to the buyers of the fifth gold coupon.
But buyers of other golden coupons don't seem to agree, and people from all over the country are gathering in the imperial capital.
This big case shook not only the entire empire, but the whole world.
The next day, the "Federal Times" reported the news, and with the money evaporated from the stock market, the round financing capital produced a capital black hole of more than one billion (Federal Sol).
