A man in his forties held a phone in his hand, and the dim desk lamp could only illuminate his beard, which he had not cleaned for several days.
The two eyes in the shadow reflected some weak light. He held the receiver of the phone in one hand and slowly raised it with the other.
About a few meters away from him, a guy holding a pistol walked into the room.
He was wearing a hood and couldn't see clearly.
"Still there?"
"Why don't you speak?"
"Hey?"
The voice coming from the receiver did not receive any response, and the man behind the table holding the receiver swallowed a gulp of saliva.
He shook his head slightly, as if begging for something. When the muzzle of the gun was slightly raised, he knew that the other party was about to shoot, and he wanted to avoid it.
It is often shown on TV that you can dodge the fire of thermal weapons at close range, and some people even said that this can indeed be done, and even told people how to do it——
"You don't need to be faster than the bullet, you just need to be faster than the opponent to pull the trigger!"
This is the view of those irresponsible guys, and they even "successfully" dodge bullets to prove that their views are correct.
Some people tried it, and everyone who succeeded said it was true, people just didn't notice that dead people can't talk, that's all.
He wanted to hide under the table, but he overestimated his ability and underestimated the strength of a professional gunman.
The weapon was equipped with a silencer, so when it was fired, it was like someone farted loudly and muffled in a series of farts. Puff-puff-puff!
The man was shot three times, and one shot above his eye socket. He got under the table before he even had time to scream.
The gunman put away his pistol, walked over to the man, and picked up the receiver.
"what happened?"
"Did someone shoot?"
He put the receiver to his ear and said, "Good night, sir!"
Ignoring the questions like "Who are you?" coming from the receiver, he hung up the phone, dealt with the scene, and left the room.
Ten minutes later, three police cars and an ambulance arrived at a single-family house in the outer ring of Bupen.
The Conservative candidate immediately chose to call the police, but unfortunately, they were not able to revive the man who had been dead for more than ten minutes. They could only symbolically compress his chest for a while.
In fact, everyone, whether police, nurses, or doctors, knew that the person was dead, but they still tried to save him.
Is this a humanitarian spirit?
No, this is a profit-making spirit.
"Rescue" itself is also a paid medical project. Even if the patient is not rescued, the money must be paid.
The money will be paid by the person who called the police, and the money will be sent to the Conservative candidate in the form of a bill. Of course, he can also write a check on his own initiative.
The Conservative candidate came to the Buppain Police Station at this time. The police officer was from the Buppain City Police Department. Of course he would come to the police station.
He didn't like the FBI because they were unreliable.
Although the people at the police station are unreliable.
"I'm sorry, sir, but your friend was already dead when we arrived at the scene."
"As the last person to communicate with him, can you provide us with some clues?"
"For example, what was the content of your phone call, or did he say anything when he was killed?"
The Conservative candidate sat in the Sheriff's Office, cup of coffee in his hand, and didn't seem to hear.
He actually knew whose men killed his men. Besides Connor's men, it was Lynch's men.
But the problem is, he can't say it, and no one will believe him if he does.
Even if someone believes it, who will investigate?
The Buenos Aires Police Department or a branch?
This is obviously impossible!
Bupen is a special city. The police station here has offices and teams that specialize in serious criminal cases, but this case is no longer as simple as a criminal homicide.
It involves the struggle between two presidential candidates and the biggest names in federal society.
The police department will not leave this case to handle on their own. They will most likely use the rules and regulations to push the case to the FBI.
The FBI is the primary agency responsible for criminal cases!
Once you get to the FBI, things get out of hand.
He shook his head, "I don't know, I was chatting with him about things related to the election, and then I heard gunshots, and I called the police..."
The Sheriff knew that the Conservative candidate was not telling the truth, and of course it was not bad not to tell the truth, at least that way he would not be targeted by some people because he knew too much.
Just when he was about to say that he might refer the case to the FBI, the office door was pushed open.
This case was very special. The city prosecutor rushed to the scene immediately, and then came to the police station after watching for a while.
He met with the chief and talked about his views. Now the city prosecutor and the chief were standing outside the Sheriff's office, making a gesture of having a private chat.
The Sheriff apologized to the Conservative candidate and left the room, closing the door.
The businessman walked to a corner, and other police officers actively avoided this position.
"It's a very professional method. I've seen it on site. It was turned into a mess. The other party confidently left a few footprints for us."
"A lot of valuable things were lost. Witnesses said they saw a dilapidated blue muscle car driving towards the satellite city."
"From the current point of view, it may be a burglary and murder."
The director didn't say anything. The police chief frowned and asked the city prosecutor, "Is this your conclusion?"
It's obvious that he doesn't believe this, nor does the director, nor does the prosecutor.
But the prosecutor nodded, "This is my conclusion. If you think there are other problems, you can overturn my conclusion as long as there is evidence to support it."
"But the most important thing now is to contact the satellite city to arrest the blue... brand muscle car."
There is actually no need to tell the police chief about these things, but the prosecutor did, and even the chief came. This was actually a potential statement of attitude.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The director supports the city prosecutor’s view, so what makes him think so?
There is no doubt that there is irresistible force!
Their purpose was to tell the police chief not to investigate further, as it would be of no benefit to anyone.
Moreover, those killers were very professional, and the traces they left behind were enough to support their behavior of breaking into houses, robbing and killing people.
Then there’s no need to dig any more!
The police chief hesitated for a while and finally compromised. He actually didn't want to take over the case. It was too troublesome!
In all cases involving elections, politics and capital, in the end the unlucky ones are the small players!
If you find out the truth, die!
If you can't find out the truth, you may not die, but your life will definitely be difficult!
He nodded, returned to the office, looked at the conservative candidate for a few seconds, and then said softly, "Colleagues at the scene have come to the conclusion that this may be a home invasion robbery and murder."
The Conservative candidate looked up at the Sheriff, then put the coffee cup down, "Looks like you've already discussed it."
The police chief smiled a little awkwardly, "Everyone has the same opinion."
The Conservative candidate also laughed, "Is this probably the best outcome for us all?"
He stood up and walked out, "Sorry to bother you for so long, I should go back."
The Sheriff did not stop him. He was just a caller, not a criminal suspect, and the case itself was difficult to explain.
The mayor of Penn has long been a good friend of Lynch. Even though Penn is a very special city, the mayor is still the mayor after all!
The Conservative candidate doesn't think it's bad, he thinks it's almost time to put an end to this.
Sitting in the car, he lit a cigarette. He didn't expect Connor to do this.
Killing so many people, even the people he sent out, was something he couldn't do.
Or maybe there is something he can do, but he can't do it now.
To be honest, he was a little scared.
After returning home, he called the chairman of the Conservative Party committee and said, "I... want to stop."
The Chairman of the Conservative Party Committee has not yet resigned. Unlike the short old man who decisively relinquished his power, he wanted to do so only when he really couldn't do it anymore.
At this time, the late-night phone call disturbed his rest. He sat on the bed holding his forehead, his heart felt a little uncomfortable, and his head hurt a little.
"What happened?" After a short silence, his mind gradually started to work.
Just like an old tractor, you have to wait for it to emit black smoke for a while before it can really start to operate.
The conservative candidate briefly explained the matter. He arranged for one of his subordinates to check for dirty information on Connor. He was killed tonight. Maybe he found something.
In fact, Connor also had a lot of dirty information. He was very free before being called by Gladstone to run for president.
I have been a governor and a senator, and have enough connections in the political arena, but I do not intend to continue to strengthen my political path, and I do not hold any public office.
He is like one of many lobby groups in Bupen, a free lobbyist.
He dares to accept money from anyone. As long as the request is not too bad, he will accept the task.
This also made him feel that he was indeed not very clean, and he had never thought of hiding anything before.
People who work in this field just think that people don't know how powerful they are, and they don't think about hiding everything they have done.
This means that there are some things to check, and it just requires a little inquiry.
Now everyone is just competing, you fuck me, I fuck you, see who can't hold on first.
It's just that Connor's methods made the conservative candidate feel a little horrified. This should not be a reason to kill, or it should not be to the extent that killing is needed!
After listening, the chairman of the Conservative Committee also realized that the situation had changed a lot. He hesitated for a moment about the candidate wanting to press the stop button.
