Rows of neat five-story apartment buildings, this is a community of Sonia immigrants.
At this time, in a room on the fourth floor of an apartment building, Lu Ming glanced at the paper in his hand, and then handed it to the person opposite the coffee table.
Opposite the coffee table sat a fat, white man, who was none other than Queens Borough President Eric, who was also the minister of the Queens Branch of the Rose Party.
This is a safe house for First Control.
However, all the safe houses before the First Control were abandoned by Lu Ming, and the current safe houses were all newly opened after Lu Ming came.
Eric looked uneasy. He looked through the documents in his hand and looked at Davitt next to him. Davitt nodded and pointed at the video on the TV. The paused picture showed Davitt's wife and daughter.
Scenes of having fun on the beach of the East China Sea.
"I, am I really not going to be sentenced to death?" Eric asked in a trembling voice.
Davitt said with a smile: "I told you, if you become a tainted witness, you will also join our witness protection plan. Your relatives are now under strict protection, and they are living a good life. You will appear in court."
After testifying, and after the torture is over, you can change your identity and enjoy life with your relatives."
Eric was still looking at Lu Ming.
Lu Ming nodded: "Yes, what Director Davitt said is also my promise. Moreover, the plea agreement is written in black and white. Can I still lie to you?"
Eric looked at Lu Ming, finally gritted his teeth, picked up the pen and signed the paper.
James had always allowed Eric to be dragged down, and now he suddenly put pressure on James when the conflict between Goering and himself intensified. James had to interrogate Eric because he was worried about the conflict between himself and Goering.
After being angered and unable to do anything about Goering for the time being, he targeted him. After all, he was his direct subordinate, so it was not difficult for him to find fault with him.
Of course, although James did something similar in investigating Eric, it was only a temporary measure.
However, Eric originally thought it was nothing, because he had been promised that there would be no problems with this project, but now, he was suddenly taken away by someone like James to cooperate with the investigation, and in addition, the person around him who was bribed by the No. 1 Controller blew the whistle.
Therefore, he thought that the higher-ups were going to abandon him as a pawn, and he knew exactly what would happen to his boss's abandoned pawns.
And soon, the first controller came to the door and offered a particularly generous plea deal.
But he couldn't make up his mind and insisted on General Bute making a promise to him.
That's why Lu Ming came to this safe house.
Seeing him finally signing, Lu Ming nodded slightly: "You made a very wise choice."
Eric slumped on the sofa as if all his strength had gone. He didn't know what he was thinking. Hearing Lu Ming's words, he just smiled bitterly.
…
Cigar Club on the first floor of the Gaston Building.
Lieutenant Governor Vincent looked at the people in the box and felt very strange.
He thought that Bit was inviting him to come alone to discuss some secret matter, so even though he heard that it was the former slum Gaston Building, he still went to the appointment with pleasure. Bit was very mysterious and his experience was legendary. He wanted to have more personal contact with him.
There's no harm in contact.
Unexpectedly, Commissioner Bit invited several important cadres of the Rose Party.
In addition to him, there are Chief Justice of the State High Court Van Lundin, Mayor of Gill City Hines, State Police Director Kalicek, Director of Economic Management Hubertus, Deputy Commissioner of the Joint Investigation Commission, Anti-Corruption Bureau
Director James.
Vincent was confused and a little embarrassed. The other Rose Party members were probably in the same mood as him and thought they were secretly invited. However, many people came, and it seemed like Commissioner Bit and the Rose Party members were having a big party.
Everyone was chatting casually, but none of them had anything to say. They were chatting awkwardly and had no idea what they were doing.
Lu Ming sat next to Haines and didn't pay much attention to others. Instead, he kept chatting and laughing with Mayor Haines, and occasionally secretly discussed something in a low voice.
Justice Valentine's face looked a little ugly. He had never received such cold treatment before, so he walked over and sat next to the two of them.
"Commissioner Bit, why did you invite everyone here?" Valentine asked with a cold face.
Lu Ming looked at him and smiled: "Your Honor, you are here at the right time. I just have a question to ask you, what is the grudge between you and the First Controller? Maybe an informant of the First Controller once offended you? So much so?
, after these informants are fired, you still want to kill them all?"
Valentine's face changed slightly, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Lu Ming had already turned his head and said to Hines: "The main reason I invite you to come is to be a witness. Justice Valentin, Lieutenant Governor Vincent, Director Kalicek, and Director Hubertus are all suspected of a series of crimes."
Among them, Justice Valentin is suspected of planning to assassinate the former informant of the first control, Lieutenant Governor Vincent, Director Kalicek and Director Hubertus are suspected of corruption and using their power to provide shelter for gangs, etc.
wait."
While Lu Ming was speaking, the box door was pushed open, with Davitt in front. A dozen men in black suits and uniforms came in from the outside, walked up to Fan Lunding and others, showed their IDs, and asked the other party to follow him back to assist in the investigation.
Hines was stunned.
"Do you know what you are doing?!" Fan Lunding stared at Lu Ming.
Vincent, Kalicek and others were even more unbelievable. They all accused Lu Ming of not knowing what he said. His current behavior was frame-up, and they had no right to do so.
However, a good man would not accept the immediate loss. Looking at the big man in black in front of them, several people stood up, accused Lu Ming, and walked out. Otherwise, they might be forced by these first-control operators, which would be too shameful.
Looks good.
"Commissioner, what are you doing?!" James hurriedly came to Lu Ming's side.
Lu Ming nodded to him: "Yes, and you. According to the intelligence department's in-depth investigation, you are suspected of malfeasance and will be temporarily suspended for investigation."
James' expression changed, but he saw a big man in black uniform standing on the left and right.
Lu Ming said to him: "Don't worry, you know the work style of our joint investigation committee, which will never bring injustice to anyone. If you are innocent, you will be fine. During your suspension, Davit will temporarily replace you."
The position of director.”
James gritted his teeth and said, "Commissioner, you are too uncool. I'm afraid you won't be able to bear what happened today."
Lu Ming spread his hands, "Maybe."
The box quickly fell silent, leaving only Lu Ming and Mayor Hines.
Hines turned to look at Lu Ming, thinking that he would not be spared in the end. After all, from top to bottom, there were very few, if any, clean areas in the Gede area.
Unexpectedly, this guy let him go.
However, from today's episode, it can be seen that this guy is not a normal person, he is simply a madman. What is he doing?
Several cadres in the most important departments of the Rose Party, including the chief justice, were almost all arrested by him in one fell swoop.
What's going on in this guy's brain?
However, Hines suddenly felt a chill in his heart. There was another possibility, that is, the First Control would declare a full-scale war on the Rose Party in the Gede area.
