No matter who you are, you will struggle when faced with the option of death. This has nothing to do with human nature and belief. It is purely that human beings' fear of death has exceeded the upper limit. Whether you voluntarily accept the fact that death is coming or not, fear will arise. mood.
Faced with such a death notice, Mr. Roel's little courage suddenly disappeared. The other party told him with facts that even if he was accidentally beaten to death due to excessive torture here, the Security Committee would still have enough power. He has the strength to suppress this matter and cover it up without taking any responsibility.
Because he was dead a long time ago. He was drowned a few days ago. Maybe his body is still frozen in an icehouse in a certain area. This made him feel unprecedentedly absurd. He was obviously still alive, but he might actually be dead. This gave him no choice. He had to prove to the Security Committee and the world that he was actually still alive.
"What do you want to know?" He sighed heavily and gave up resistance completely. No matter what the other party asked, he would answer whatever he asked.
The captain was very satisfied with Mr. Roel's cooperation. He placed the death notice on the table, sat opposite Mr. Roel, picked up a notebook and began to record the next testimony, "Mr. Roel, There was a collapse in your mine. Based on the information we received and reasonable speculation, we believe it was a man-made accident, right?"
Roel nodded, "Yes, I arranged this mine disaster to solve my financial difficulties. I spent a lot of money to buy the right to operate this mine, but I encountered business problems. Fraud, the output and inventory of this mine are far lower than the figures shown in the exploration report. I am facing huge financial pressure, so I have to solve this problem. It happened that Mr. Memnon's three-guarantee policy allowed me to discover an opportunity. With the help of the mine protection team, I caused this mining accident.”
The superior wrote quickly, and after he finished writing, he showed it to Mr. Roel. After Mr. Roel confirmed that there were no mistakes, he not only wrote something like this in the blank space, but also The person's name, time, place and keywords were fingerprinted.
His cooperation made the captain's tone become much kinder. The superior continued to ask, "Then the corpses found in the mine during the subsequent rescue process were the corpses of locals or illegal immigrants?"
"It's the corpses of slaves..."
Mr. Roel continued to confess to his crimes until the captain asked a new question.
"You were suddenly attacked when you mobilized miners' families to hold a march, and you were shot once. Who do you think arranged such an attack? What should be his purpose?"
Mr. Roel's pupils shrank slightly. He lowered his head and looked at his shoelaces and said softly: "I don't know. At the same time, I also want to know who attacked me and those innocent people. Regarding this issue, I'm sorry because I can't give you any accurate answers."
He can admit anything, but he will not admit that he did this attack, because he knows very well that no matter how many slaves he killed in the mining accident he caused... The official statement is that he is an illegal smuggler, or he came from Memnon No matter how much money was defrauded there, he would not suffer serious consequences for these crimes. The former died of "illegal stowaways". The existence of these people itself is unreasonable and illegal. Their deaths can only mean that they are unlucky, and the empire will help him cover up this part of the truth at home and abroad.
Now international public opinion has begun to focus on the empire. The slaves who were "slaughtered" this time came from more than a dozen countries. Everyone wants to know what happened here and why the empire's army massacred those unarmed slaves and even sent them to the army. Brag about it as a feat.
At this time, if the negative impact can be reduced a little, then it is definitely the best choice. Moreover, until the nature of the Freedom Front's annihilation is not determined, no one can guarantee how this matter will be handled in the end. But if news continues to emerge at this time that some people are gaining wealth by killing innocent slaves, it will easily remind people of the annihilation of the Freedom Front. Since the people of the empire can exchange the lives of slaves for wealth, why can't they exchange the deaths of these people for military exploits
As for the latter, Mr. Roel has read the newspaper recently. He believes that the trouble Memnon is facing is much more important than the two million in his hand, and that the money was not defrauded from the city hall or the state government. Come on, even if Mr. Memnon prosecutes him, he will only be released after three to five years in prison.
So Roel knew very well that even if he killed more slaves, it wouldn't be a problem. At least on the surface, he didn't kill any slaves. The ones who died were all imperial miners. This matter had nothing to do with those slaves. relation.
But the attack was different. The attack resulted in the death and injury of many Imperial citizens. If this matter finally fell on him, even if he did not need to be hanged, he would slowly die in prison. Waiting for the time to come and give him the last blow when the time comes. He didn't want the rest of his life to be worthless and meaningless, so he chose the statement that was most beneficial to him.
have no idea!
The captain picked up another file bag from the table and opened it. There were two photos in it. He picked it up and showed it to Mr. Roel before putting it back and putting it away properly. "Someone of us photographed you." "How do you explain the contact you had with the gunman who shot you before the attack?"
To be honest, Roel didn't see the photo that the captain took out very clearly, but the captain's words made him start to sweat. Just as Memnon guessed, the initiator of this attack was him, the biggest victim. Memnon told him at the beginning that he would not consider paying insurance compensation until the investigation team figured out all the details of the mining accident. Mr. Roel did not intend to be too radical at first, but the problem lay in the too detailed investigation. .
The huge pressure caused by the mine collapse has left almost most of the victims unrecognizable, but there are always some things in this world that are not so satisfying. There is a guy whose corpse is relatively well preserved, and his face is indeed not easy to identify, but there is a problem - the miner corresponding to the sign hanging around this guy's neck should be a short man, but now the corpse is a tall man. Two, one in front of the other, with a height difference of about twenty centimeters.
Normally, no one would pay attention to this matter, it was just a dead person, but at this time, this dead person was involved in more than two million yuan in compensation. The people in the investigation team believed that this would be a breakthrough. If it can be proven that one miner's corpse is fake, it can be proven that the corpses of other miners are also likely to be fake. Once the compensation is delayed, after the mine is cleaned up, people will find that nothing of value can be found in the mine.
Before the compensation is paid, Mr. Roel will go bankrupt and lose everything he owns.
Under such circumstances, he decided to take a desperate risk. On the one hand, he bribed the families of the miners and nearby neighbors who were found to have problems. On the other hand, he bribed a secretary around Memnon who was not taken seriously, and then let his mine protection team perform a trick. A drama of an attack.
The advantage of this is to turn yourself into a victim, and then push Memnon into a corner by inciting dissatisfaction among the victims' families. As long as he gave the money, he didn't care whether there were any problems later. He was almost abroad at that time.
The plan was implemented very successfully. Due to pressure, Memnon could only give up the investigation temporarily, pay the compensation first and care for the families of the victims and the injured, so as to restore the disadvantage in public opinion as much as possible. If it hadn't been for the intervention of the Security Committee, he thought he might have boarded the passenger ship to the Federation and even started to consider landing.
He believed that his plan had certain risks, but the problem should definitely not lie in his meeting with the gunman. He didn't know what went wrong and why the Security Committee had such a photo, so He remained silent.
Mr. Captain put down the pen in his hand and explained patiently, "We have been investigating some issues about Mr. Memnon. People who are close to him have been included in our surveillance scope, so you are very unlucky to be caught by us. I caught the tail by the way. You don't have to admit it, but I believe that as our investigation deepens, someone will come forward and put the truth on the table. Mr. Roel, you may have to face the death penalty. But if you tell everything now, we will consider interceding for you in front of the judge as appropriate so that you can get out of prison alive."
Roel's lips moved. In fact, he knew very well that now he had no choice but to cooperate. After weighing the pros and cons for more than half an hour, he said.
When the interrogation was over, the captain left the interrogation room. He opened the file bag and took out the photo inside. There were two men in the photo, standing together and shaking hands with each other. This was a very classic moment. At the moment this photo was taken, the royal family completely handed over its management of the country to the man on the left of the photo. That man's name was Mags.
Yes, this is an old photo, but that does not prevent it from successfully deceiving Mr. Roel. The Security Committee is very experienced in interrogation work. They deal with professionally trained spies or dangerous elements brainwashed by extremism all year round. They dig out what they need from the mouths of ordinary people, or ordinary people who are pampered. Things are not difficult at all!
Mr. Captain walked to the second half of the corridor, opened a glass display case, put the photos back into a blank frame, and then handed his transcript to his superiors.
