Memnon is very aware of his current situation. He is burdened with a huge suspicion. If he cannot explain why Matthew's death has nothing to do with him, then he will temporarily lose control of his own sphere of influence in this city and even the entire west. control. Without a phone or a way to contact the outside world, the Kadima Party, which had just broken away from Blood Dawn, would become a little chicken without a sense of direction and become the most vulnerable party in this riot.
He gritted his teeth and forced himself to calm down. He looked at the officers in front of him and the commander of the temporary headquarters. He lowered his head slightly and faced their feet. "I'll say it again, Dulin lied. He deceived you." , He also deceived me, he deceived everyone!" Memnon's face was as red as if he had just come out of the steamer. His skin was so red that it was almost molting. He clenched his hands tightly into fists and pounded the table hard. , "This son of a bitch told me that he hoped I could send a message for him and resolve the dispute between him and the West Mining Association. Yes, I am sure I heard what he said, and that's why I brought Matthew here. , otherwise I don’t know Matthew at all, and there is no reason to kill him!”
"By the way, Du Lin's assassination was arranged by himself. He staged an illusion of being assassinated and deceived all of us!"
The commander standing aside shook his head. He said something in the ear of the officer beside him, and then turned and left. In his opinion, Memnon is indeed highly suspicious, but he cannot be completely sure that it was Memnon who did it. Although the commander is only a lieutenant colonel, in the Western Military Region, he is the most likely to be promoted to colonel in recent years and to major general in the future. candidate.
Just like the words that many people use to improve their status and character-my status, my kind of person.
This sentence is also suitable to be brought into the current case. With Memnon's power - he has a great chance of winning the position of governor in the next general election. With Memnon's status - as a social celebrity and party leader , Light of the West, possessing huge wealth, he does not have the appropriate and necessary motivation to kill Matthew, because Matthew will not cause him unbearable harm. Even if there was an air connection between Matthew and Dulin, and Matthew knew that Memnon was making up stories to provoke the conflict between the West Mining Association and Dulin, Memnon would not have enough reason to kill Matthew.
Because Xikuang would be on the "weak" side, Memnon was the strong one. Even if Xikuang would conflict with him head-on, he would not necessarily be the loser. So from the current point of view, Memnon's suspicion is the most direct and the biggest, but this is not enough for everyone to confirm that Memnon is the real culprit behind Matthew's murder. A large amount of evidence and counter-evidence are needed to provide fulcrum. Pry any side of the conclusion.
However, before the conclusion comes, Memnon is not suitable for the public for the time being, for two reasons.
The first reason is to assume that Memnon was the mastermind behind the murder. Once he was let go, he would be able to organize his own huge force to forge enough evidence for himself to prove that he was not involved. Many mayors and celebrities would be willing to testify for him in exchange for benefits. Once he leaves the temporary headquarters, the difficulty of catching him again will increase exponentially.
The second reason is that assuming that Memnon was not the mastermind behind the murder, but that there was someone else behind the murder, Memnon might be in danger once he left the temporary headquarters. The fact that he can leave here shows that he has cleared away the suspicion. For the mastermind behind the scenes, Memnon's value has been lost. For a person who has lost his value and still has the ability to fight back, the other party will definitely try his best to take him away. Get rid of him without giving him any chance to retaliate. In order to ensure that Memnon would not be assassinated, the commander temporarily detained him here to protect him.
As for Memnon's claim that Dulin's attack was a hoax directed by Dulin himself, the lieutenant colonel and the main investigators just smiled and did not take it seriously, let alone take it to heart.
They already had a thorough understanding of Dulin's injuries through the photo records and written records at the time. Just as the doctor who operated on Dulin said, if Dulin's head had turned just one centimeter away at that time, the bullet would have penetrated his head. The skull made him unable to die, and maybe grass has begun to sprout in front of his tombstone now.
Is there anyone who would spend so much money to stage a scam
There must be some, but definitely not someone like Du Lin. He has huge political resources and countless wealth in his hands. Regardless of whether he can establish his business in the west, he is a successful person and is one of the few at the top of the tower. Even if this kind of person loses a hair, it is more valuable than an ordinary person's life. Are you going to let him risk almost certain death to act in this scene
Impossible, completely impossible!
They regarded Memnon's statement as a dog-eat-dog situation in his desperation. Only a person who has lost his mind would consider this.
"I think... it's possible!"
After the military information was summarized and fed back to the Security Committee, "Commander-in-Chief" Anpu, who was temporarily seconded, immediately analyzed the information in his possession. After analysis, he believed that Dulin would definitely do such a crazy thing, but This is definitely not an isolated incident. If the attack on Dulin was a hoax that he directed and staged, then whose scam was the attack on Roel, the attack on Memnon, and the attacks on the executive members of the Western Mining Association and some mine owners
Following Memnon's ideas, Anpu came to a conclusion similar to Memnon's. If Dulin was really lying, then Memnon was also lying, and Roel was also lying!
Only those who are really dead are not lying, but is this really possible
So Anpu gave an uncertain statement - it's possible.
Maybe it doesn't necessarily mean "yes", and maybe "no". He needs more situations and evidence to support his point of view. He gathered the information on the table together, tied it with cowhide, and placed it on the corner of the table. He looked at the vice chairman of the Security Committee in front of him and said, "Now we need to do a few things."
His Excellency the Vice Chairman crossed his arms and nodded.
"First, arrange for someone to keep an eye on Roel and find out whether the funds that Memnon transferred to Roel's account were fully compensated to the families of all the victims, and then let people from the Central Bank and Southern Commercial Bank check. Is there about 1.5 million to 2.2 million in short-term funds flowing into a certain account from multiple accounts? If so, freeze these accounts and arrest Roel." There were some other people from the Security Committee in the conference room.
During this period of work, Anpu has used his own ability to convince these people at least verbally. Although everyone was reluctant to face his request, they nodded and agreed because the Vice Chairman did not express any opinions.
Anpu nodded, "I suspect that Roel caused the mining accident artificially, and then defrauded the insurance premiums from the 'three guarantees policy' promoted by the Kadima Party. He even directed and staged an attack for this purpose, disrupting the normalcy of the entire west. Order." Then Anpu pointed out what he thought might be doubtful points and evidence, including Roel's current economic problems, his investment failure, and his purpose of doing so.
In the imperial jurisprudence, once it is determined that a person has a complete and reasonable motive and goal, then this person can be regarded as a suspect and then handed over to the District Prosecutor's Office for presumption of innocence. Now Anpu has given out Roel's motives and goals, and even given several specific possible means, which is enough to arrest Roel.
They are the military. The military does not have to have exact evidence to arrest someone like the District Attorney's Office. They can arrest people first and then look for evidence. This is why people are afraid of martial law.
Who knows that he will be arrested for some reason that may make the other party uncomfortable, and then wait in the cell for a long time before the presumption of guilt is established.
"Second, send someone to keep an eye on Dulin. If what Memnon said is true, then Dulin will take action soon. He escaped people's attention in the first stage by being assassinated and injured. Now he is an important figure. Deadly, tight, it's time for him to take action. I ask that the people you send will not be discovered by him, and will not be thrown away by him. It is best to keep him from leaving your sight, and not to be low. The two groups took turns to support him, and immediately retreated if they encountered any danger to their lives."
The members of the Security Committee in the room nodded expressionlessly, but in their hearts they didn't take An Pu's words to heart at all. It's just tracking, how difficult can it be? As for the danger to life? Whenever they are in danger, as long as they reveal their identities, they will be safe. The Security Committee is an official semi-military organization with considerable power. As long as the reason is sufficient, it is not a big problem to directly kill suspects that it believes may threaten national security.
Tracking Dulin is not a problem!
"Third, keep an eye on the remaining executive members of the West Mining Association, record where they go every day, who they meet, and preferably find out what they said. If they are attacked, I also hope you can Give me a little help if you can ensure your own safety.”
"Fourth, the bank needs to go to two people to check whether there have been any large-scale fund flows in the account under Du Lin's name recently, and what account the money has flowed into..."
"Finally, I hope that all field personnel will wear bulletproof vests, hats or bulletproof helmets with certain bulletproof properties when performing tasks. None of the people you are following this time are ordinary people. They are more dangerous than you. Much higher than anything I've ever seen before!"
At this moment, someone knocked on the door, and a head popped up with an apologetic smile, "Mr. Anpu, someone is looking for you."
