The vehicle drove for a while.

Lu Ming said to Murong Xue: "Get off the car later and draft a memorandum to the Election Supervision Committee, list all Yang Guiren's companions, and report the incident of Yang Guiren giving mooncakes and gift certificates. The key point is to state that, If any of Yang Guiren’s colleagues want to announce the election of the third district council member in the future, this is a disguised form of vote-buying!”

Yang Guiren took Mrs. Jia with him and introduced Mrs. Jia, but of course he did not say that Mrs. Jia would run for the election.

But after ten or eight days, Mrs. Jia may find a reason. After visiting the people with the former congressman, she feels that she should do something for them, so she is ready to run for congressman.

It is also a good calculation.

Murong Xue was stunned for a moment after hearing Lu Ming's words, then she pursed her lips and chuckled, and was immediately shocked.

……

The address of the military school has actually been chosen. It is a third-rate university in Xinfa District that has been relocated to a satellite town. The old campus is being renovated and is actually already under construction.

When Lu Ming first proposed the Public Security Armed Guard, he did not expect Lieutenant General Neville to make such a splash.

This armed force has an approved number of 1,500 military and police personnel, but more than two-thirds will come from the reorganization of some anti-riot agencies of the patrol police. Only a few hundred reservists will be recruited into the active service of this military and police force.

In the Donghai metropolitan area, there are more than 20,000 patrol officers. Currently, only a thousand people have been reorganized into the armed police force, with minimal impact.

After the parliament approves the official establishment of the military academy, these 1,500 people will enter the new military academy to receive professional education for new positions.

Of course, this is a short-term training course, only for three months. Then next summer, this military academy will recruit students from the whole society. Candidates who have graduated from high school can apply. The seven-year academic system will be selected after graduation. , enter the public security armed forces, and the rest can enter positions such as patrol police and security companies.

There are now more than a dozen instructors, mostly Westerners. Lu Ming met them in the navy restaurant, ate and drank, and after discussing for three or four hours, Lu Ming received a call and said goodbye, and everyone left.

……

On the second floor of the south section of Liberty Building, there is the Office of the Special Advisor to the Prosecutor's Office.

Lu Ming looked at a report material in his hand.

The extremely spacious office is equipped with various tables and chairs in the style of Western aristocrats. Even Lu Ming's large desk is decorated with a quill pen and an ink bottle, which is very suitable for the occasion.

The huge floor-to-ceiling windows with curtains let in a warm golden glow from the setting sun, making the office even more luxurious.

It's not that Lu Ming likes Western style, but in the office, he does feel that the style of the old Western aristocrats is more classy.

The report material in Lu Ming's hand was to accuse Beiguan prosecutor Hou Dexing of bending the law for personal gain and forcibly pushing the son of the powerful Beiguan councilor Gao Depei into the water. The old man died in an accident.

The reporting materials were sent by Cheng Lingyu. Hou Dexing has successfully passed the investigation by the Internal Investigation Department. From the perspective of relevant procedures, he has not violated any regulations.

As for this case, the Grand Procuratorate did not conduct an in-depth investigation and make a conclusion. Cheng Lingyu simply forwarded the corresponding materials to Lu Ming.

Lu Ming understood that Cheng Lingyu naturally thought it might be useful to his campaign, so it was up to him how to deal with it.

The call received in the navy restaurant was made by Cheng Lingyu. At the same time, he sent someone to deliver all the files.

The investigation materials of Hou Dexing and the police on the case are also included.

The deceased was the gardener of Senator Gao Debei's family, and he was over 70 years old.

In the investigation materials, there is a forensic report that the old man died from drowning. However, because there were many old injuries from beatings on his body and new wounds on his head, it was once investigated as an abnormal death. A servant initially gave a confession saying that it was Gao Depei. The young son pushed the old man into the water. The police forwarded the relevant evidence to the prosecutor, and the Beiguan Procuratorate Branch dispatched Hou Dexing to follow up on the case.

However, later investigation found that the new wound on the old man's head matched the joint of the drainage pipe in the swimming pool. It was believed that the old man lost his footing and fell into the swimming pool, and hit his head on the drainage pipe while struggling.

As for the many old injuries from beatings on his body, it proves that the old man's son has been abusing the old man for a long time.

What's more important is that Councilor Gao Debai's son is only nine years old. He is a model student of Windsor College with both good conduct and academic performance. He has character guarantee letters written by many teachers, including the principal, and it is impossible for him to behave cruelly and push others into trouble.

The servant who was originally said to be the son of Gao Depei pushed people into the water, but it turned out to be a drunkard who was drunk all day long. His words were not worth mentioning, and no one ever believed him.

Gao Depei is really a young son. He is over sixty years old. He has a son at an old age and has great expectations for this son. He never dotes on his son, but strictly disciplines him. Many of his relatives and friends know how much he disciplines his son. Yan also knows how outstanding this child is.

Lu Ming slowly turned to the last page, thought for a while, and said, "Minister Liu, take it and show it to everyone. Give me the summary of your opinions in an hour."

Liu Teng, who was sitting on a sofa with half his buttocks on his side, hurriedly got up and came over, took the materials, and left.

Liu Teng was originally the leader of Team 2 of the Operations Office and the deputy prosecutor director.

In Lu Ming's independent government office, he is also the head of several prosecutors and assistant prosecutors, so he can be regarded as the head of this independent government office.

Seeing Liu Teng closing the door of his office with an apologetic smile, Lu Ming stood up and stood in front of the French window, thinking about the case.

What a coincidence, Gao Debei is also a member of the Justice Party and the leader of the party.

At the same time, he is also the deputy speaker of the Beiguan Parliament.

His prestige is very high, but every time there is a general election, he is only a few inches away from entering the seven-member committee.

This time, Qing Lao has retired, and he is the one who has the loudest voice from outside.

In fact, the Justice Party is powerful. However, because it is a local party in Beiguan and not a branch of the big parties in Donghai City, it always lacks a little luck, or in other words, lacks support from the top. Bar.

Otherwise, there would be no problem for Gao Debei to join the seven-member committee.

But now, Mrs. Jia, the representative of the Bucklow family, and Justice Party member Yang Guiren have arrived in the third district together.

Yang Guiren gave up the election for the third district.

In all of this, is it possible that the Bucklow family has reached some kind of tacit understanding with the Justice Party?

After repeated defeats, Gao Debei finally gave up his roots in the Native Party and sought the support of the Bucklow family, because this time was his best chance to join the seven-member committee. If he failed to seize the last opportunity, he would basically be in trouble in the future. There is no chance.

The Bucklow family supports him to join the seven-member committee. Likewise, the Justice Party will from now on become an alliance party, or even a puppet party, of the Bucklow family's "Free Citizens' Movement".

If this is the case, you should think carefully about the changes that may occur during this period.

……

Less than half an hour later, Liu Teng came in with a smile and said that everyone's opinions were not unified. Some believed that an in-depth investigation was necessary, while others believed that the original investigation results were reasonable based on the files, and there was no need to waste time on launching a new investigation. .

Lu Ming was helpless, so he just brought a bunch of crooked melons and cracked dates. There was probably not much discussion. Everyone's opinions were the ones that listened to the commissioner. Liu Teng created a very heated discussion, but , in the end there are still two opinions, so I have to listen to you, Commissioner.

"Minister Liu, do you think it is necessary to continue the investigation?" Lu Ming looked at him.

Liu Teng immediately had a grimace on his face, but rolled his eyes and said, "I think it should be investigated. I personally feel that this case is very suspicious." Obviously, Commissioner Lu's time is precious and it is impossible to investigate these many things. Time spent on a case that is not worthy of investigation.

Although it was not the first time that he claimed to be in a humble position, Lu Ming still had a strange feeling in his heart.

This is the self-identification of those at the lower levels of the old bureaucracy. Since the establishment of the Grand Prosecutor's Office, prosecutors should have no such term for themselves.

Moreover, even among the old bureaucracies, there are very few who call themselves this way, but it is still very common in the north.

Picking up the tea cup and taking a sip of water, Lu Ming nodded: "Okay, as you wish, you take people to Gao Debei's house and talk to the witnesses who have made the records again to see if there is any new information. I discovered that there is also this Gao..." He looked at the name of Gao Depei's son on the file and said, "Bring this Gao Yulong back and ask questions."

Huh? Liu Teng was a little dumbfounded.

Seeing Lu Ming frown, he immediately stood up and said, "Yes!"

He himself is not from Beiguan, and the prosecutorial system has its own system, so it doesn't matter to him whether he is a member or not.

Because this is not his official office. When he goes up and down, he just listens to his superiors. No matter how big the thunder is, his superiors will bear it.

Since Commissioner Lu really wants to investigate, then just do it.

After Liu Teng left, soon there were sounds of footsteps outside.

Then, a dozen people wearing prosecutor uniforms and black action team uniforms ran out of the Liberty Building and went to the parking lot. Several cars quickly drove out.

Lu Ming stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass window and watched, not knowing what he was thinking about.

……

More than half an hour later, the phone on the table rang.

Lu Ming picked up.

A loud voice came from the receiver, "Commissioner Lu? I'm Gao Depei! Haha, I've heard of your name for a long time, and I've always wanted to chat with you."

Lu Ming smiled: "President Gao, I have admired you for a long time. It's my fault. I should have paid a visit a long time ago, but my status is so different that I dare not interrupt you rashly."

"Commissioner Lu is too polite." Gao Debei smiled and said, "Is there something wrong with the accidental death of my domestic helper? Do you want Commissioner Lu to send someone to my house to investigate?"

"It's just following the rules!" Lu Ming smiled: "You should know that prosecutor Hou Dexing, who used to handle the case, was under internal investigation. I am here to look at this case according to the rules. Don't be sensitive. If there are no problems, it’s just going through the motions.”

"Hou Dexing? It's not a misunderstanding. The internal investigation has been completed. Has a conclusion been given?" Gao Debei sounded suspicious.

Lu Ming smiled: "It seems that Speaker Gao is very concerned about this case!"

"Of course, Uncle Wang has served my family diligently for more than thirty years. I am also very sad about his death!" Gao Depei sighed deeply, "I don't know where the rumor came from, saying that he was only nine years old The dog is the perpetrator, which is even more infuriating!"

Lu Ming nodded: "Don't worry, Speaker Gao, those who are clean will be cleansed themselves, it doesn't matter."

"Okay, Commissioner Lu, I am definitely not interfering with your handling of the case. I am just feeling depressed and complaining to you. You can tell your people what to do!"

"Okay, excuse me for disturbing the Speaker!" Lu Ming smiled.

……

In the evening, Liu Teng led the team back and did not bring back Gao Yulong, Gao Depei's youngest son, but brought back a drunken Western drunkard.

As soon as the Western drunkard got out of the car, he vomited all over the floor.

When he was taken to the South District interrogation room, he vomited again, and then lay down on the floor of the interrogation room and fell asleep.

From outside the interrogation room, I looked at the mess inside, and the assistant prosecutors Xiao Zhao and Xiao Zhang who were busy cleaning up.

Lu Ming frowned, "What's going on?"

Liu Teng smiled bitterly: "Commissioner, this is the witness who testified for the first time that it was Councilor Gao's son who pushed the old gardener into the water. Unexpectedly, he was a drunkard, and he was a Westerner. Councilor Gao's family, but He is really rich, and he has Western servants. However, he looks like a Western tramp, holding a bottle of wine every day and doing nothing. Senator Gao's family is willing to support him, but this guy behaves like a drunken maniac when he is drunk. , talking nonsense every day, the servants of the Gao family all say this."

Lu Ming nodded, thinking that no matter what, Liu Teng was quite smart. Although he was an alcoholic, if he brought him back and asked, he might find something out.

"Wait until he sobers up and ask him when he's done. Did he drink too much that day and talk nonsense, or is he a bit more serious?" Lu Ming wanted to go back to the office.

"Commissioner, this guy killed someone, so I brought him back." Liu Teng smiled bitterly.

"Huh?" Lu Ming turned around immediately and frowned.

"Because his initial confession said that the young master of the Gao family pushed someone into the water, so I must be the first to see him to take the confession, but no one could find him at first. Finally, a servant screamed, He was found in the wine cellar. At that time, he was sleeping soundly. The wine bottle was broken on the floor, and the floor was full of red wine. Also, the body of the maid who often cleaned the wine cellar was next to him, and the body was ice cold. Liangbangbang became hard, and he definitely didn’t die after we left.

Liu Teng paused and spoke to the interrogation room, "This guy was holding a broken wine bottle in his hand. There might be blood on it, but it was mixed with red wine and I couldn't tell. So, I just Bring him back first, keep someone there to keep an eye on him, and notify the forensic doctor and criminal police.”

Lu Ming looked at the Western tramp in the interrogation room. At this time, someone mopped the floor and pulled him up to sit against the wall. His face looked unshaven and weather-beaten, but his actual age might not be that old. Probably in his forties.

"Commissioner, you may not believe it when I tell you. When this man came to Gao's house last year, he claimed that his surname was Stewart, and his name was Waffle* Stewart! I don't know whether it is true or not. It takes two hundred years to go back. It seems that our surname in Donghai is Stewart. They are all great nobles.”

Stuart? Lu Ming was startled, looked at the Western tramp carefully, and made a gesture, "Go and wash his face, and raise your face to show me." He had long thought that this strong and beautiful nose looked like Pan Mi La and Bisi's nose shape is also the reason why even though he is extremely downcast, he still looks young.

But not right? Pan Mila was still talking about it a few days ago. A few months ago, she sent an anonymous sum of money to her mother, but she still didn't have the courage to meet her mother.

This homeless man? Could it be Pan Mila's relative? Even the father?
