"Did Chap speak?" Rani slumped on the sofa after finishing his day's work. The busy work made him physically and mentally exhausted, mainly mentally.
He has to deal with the difficult lawyers and try every means to get what they want from the people they represent, although this is very limited and most of the time has no effect.
It seemed that Chap had become an important core in solving the case. Lani felt that he should change the direction and continue to focus on getting Chap to speak.
This time he communicated with the Ministry of Justice. If Chap was willing to cooperate with the investigation, they would give Chap a guarantee of pardon and ensure his safety until the end of the trial.
As for what happens next
That's his own business.
"That...", the agent he faced was a little embarrassed and his face was not good, which made Lani realize that something unexpected might have happened. He immediately sat up straight and his expression became serious.
Under his gaze, the detective could only tell the truth, "Chap is dead..."
Rani did not get angry immediately, but frowned and asked, "How did he die? Has the murderer been caught?" In fact, Chap's death at this time is not necessarily a bad thing, because Chap's refusal to cooperate is also It's a headache for everyone.
If Chap's death is exchanged for an assassin who may be able to speak, this will also have a positive side for the investigation, especially when Rani thinks deep down in his heart that this may be Dulin's handiwork, there is a trace of calmness. .
Dulin's intervention would remove him, the unlucky guy caught between Dulin and Magus, which would be a good thing for him, although of course he wouldn't show it.
The detective continued to maintain his embarrassment, "We are not sure whether he was murdered. The forensic department has done a basic identification. They believe that Chap was choked to death. Today's meal bag is a bit hard and dry. It got stuck in his throat."
Chap's naturally secreted saliva and esophageal intestinal juice moistened the bread, causing them to swell, and also destroyed some subtle evidence. Coupled with the disappearance of the bald cook, it was impossible for the Bureau of Investigation to take all the blame. On one's own body.
They will not admit to Lani that Chap's death was entirely caused by the incompetence of the local investigation bureau. They need to excuse themselves, so obviously death by accident is the most suitable excuse. Of course, they did not give up on tracing the bald cook and reported these things to Rani.
After Rani gave the local investigation bureau a "waste" evaluation, he summarized the information and reported it to Mags. However, Mags gave him a surprising reply, which was to ask him to contact Dulin.
This reply can be said to be very unexpected, because Rani always thought that this was a manifestation of the discord between Mags and Dulin. What he did not expect was that Dulin was indeed behind this investigation, but Dulin I sided with the investigation team.
The increasingly complicated situation made Rani's brain begin to feel a little exhausted, so he called Dulin as Maggs asked.
"This is the situation. Now our investigation work is at a deadlock. Mr. Maggs thinks that you may be able to bring some breakthroughs to our detection work, so we made this call." Rani's tone was different. It's not intense, on the contrary, it's very dull.
This may have something to do with his status. The Imperial Tax Administration itself is a somewhat inconspicuous department, at least in the past. It wasn't until the establishment of the special zone in Otis City that things got a little better. The huge tax revenue received from Otis City every year made the Imperial Tax Administration look good. They were unable to solve all the annual financial needs of the empire, but at least they were able to solve it. Partly, that made Lani's life a little easier.
But if you want him to be very proactive in detecting this case, he may not be that concerned. Judging from the current situation, the personnel involved in this case are very complicated. There are leaders of local gangs, well-known entrepreneurs in Odis City and even the central part of the empire, as well as politicians in the imperial capital and other places.
This is a hornet's nest, and if you really poke a stick, you will definitely be stung.
Magers' determination for tax reform was unprecedented, but the resistance was also huge. As the director of the Imperial Taxation Administration, Rani felt a huge crisis, both political and unofficial.
He is not very willing to sit in this position, because in the next year he will offend a lot of people, a lot of people, including some big entrepreneurs, big aristocrats, big conglomerates, and a large number of people who are accused of these people. Politicians who support and represent the interests of these people.
Maggs can retire next year and put all the problems away from himself, but Talani is still young and what will he do after he has offended so many people
Now that Mags is supporting him, his life may not be easy. Haven't you seen that those crazy people dare to assassinate important suspects in the investigation bureau
Losing his current job was his most tolerant guess about his outcome. He even felt that someone would kill him to retaliate for his actions this year.
Rani was indeed excited for a while when Maggs announced the tax reform, but as the director of the Imperial Taxation Administration, he was well aware of the complexity involved. In the future, the power of the Imperial Taxation Bureau will definitely be much greater than it is now, but for now, the difficulties and risks they face are unprecedented.
Not every politician will have great ideals and pursuits. Great men always exist, but there are more ordinary people in this society.
After listening to Rani's account of everything, Dulin's only feeling was that he was speechless. He had done his job as a nanny, which was almost equivalent to putting all the evidence in the hands of the investigation team and telling them How to solve this case.
Under such circumstances, the fact that these idiots were able to accomplish this was indeed beyond Du Lin's expectations.
At the same time, he also realized the impact of Rani's inactivity in everything.
After a moment of silence, he replied, "I will handle the next matter. Starting tomorrow, you will fully cooperate with the investigation of Mayor Webster of the City Hall."
After hanging up the phone, Dulin called Weber. During the phone call, Weber also laughed at the work of the investigation team and described their work this week as "carving on shit." It was obvious that he also knew about Chap's death. message.
Du Lin did not comment on the work of the investigation team. That would not be suitable. "At dawn tomorrow, arrest everyone according to the list in the photo. Ignore their protests and start directly."
The other end of the phone fell into silence. After a moment, Weber asked cautiously, "What reason should I use to arrest them?"
"Violating the local laws of Otis City and suspected of using cash to participate in gambling!"
