He first went back home and asked Sun Erniang to settle Kuroki Saori, then went to see the sleeping Bizhu. Feeling a little relieved, he sat beside Bizhu's bed for a while. Then Lu Ming got up, took a shower, changed clothes, arranged a car, and went to the Husky Hotel.
…
All prosecutors and police officers have been summoned and are sitting in a makeshift conference room on the third floor. Their epaulettes are shining and their wide-brimmed hats are neatly lined up in a line on the table. The atmosphere is extremely solemn.
In the main seat sat Commissioner Lu.
The assassination of Lu Ming had alarmed the Supreme Prosecutor's Office, and Chief McCann was also extremely angry.
Firstly, the information from the task force was kept confidential; secondly, before any members of any radical organisation were even found, the deputy head of the task force was ambushed by fierce thugs.
This shows that someone in the Supreme Prosecutor's Office leaked information; and that the radical organization does not take the Supreme Prosecutor's Office seriously at all. This is a naked challenge to the authority of the Supreme Prosecutor's Office.
If it was said that Cheng Lingyu's request had been agreed to reluctantly, and even if the special investigation team found out something, General McKen wanted to turn a blind eye, now the situation is completely different.
Disrespect for the authority of the Supreme Prosecutor's Office is what Chief Secretary McCann cannot tolerate the most.
No one, including the most powerful people in Donghai, can ignore the existence of the Supreme Prosecutor's Office.
Lu Ming received a call of condolences from Chief McKen himself, who told Lu Ming that he would replenish the special case team again, and that you would be the supervisor and you would be the one to investigate!
Lu Ming smiled bitterly in his heart. If a big shot wanted to get rid of him and informed him in advance, he might not disagree. But bypassing him and getting rid of the leader-level member of the secret special case team of the Supreme Procuratorate was obviously a slap in his face, making him feel extremely humiliated.
Not to mention, in his eyes, radical organizations are cockroaches that should live in the dark.
The Chief Prosecutor was originally one of the most powerful men in the East Sea.
Shortly after Lu Ming hung up the phone, the letter of appointment appointing Lu Ming as the special commissioner of the "Flower of Harmony" Operation Office was delivered.
In addition, there was a notice sent to each prosecutor's Supreme Procuratorate to establish a "Harmony Flower Operation Office."
It stated that this "Operations Office" was directly led by Chief McCann, commanded by a special commissioner, and was accountable only to Chief McCann.
In addition to combating the increasingly rampant racial crimes, the "Operation Office" is also responsible for investigating corruption involving collusion between public officials and radical organizations, as well as all acts of corruption and malfeasance by public officials.
The notice also transferred all prosecutors and assistant prosecutors of the special case team to the operations office, and added several prosecutors.
Jordan was also appointed as deputy director of the office.
The prosecutors in the office are divided into three groups, each group consists of four prosecutors, basically one deputy director of prosecution, one prosecutor, and two assistant prosecutors. The deputy director of prosecution serves as the group leader.
The newly added assistant prosecutors have not reported yet.
Apparently, this "Operation Office" has temporarily become a permanent institution of the Supreme Prosecutor's Office and has been given several offices at the headquarters.
In addition, there is a special operations team, which is composed of purely armed personnel. The team leader is Cantona and consists of 20 armed police officers.
When seeing this notice, Lu Ming could only smile bitterly.
Chief McCann was indeed furious about this incident, but who was he? Soon, he turned this anger into his weapon.
He saw it as an opportunity, an opportunity to expand prosecutorial power.
It makes sense to set up a permanent agency to combat racial crimes and to extend this to investigating public officials who are involved in racial organizations.
But to go further and expand it to include corruption and malfeasance by public officials is a stretch.
Although investigating and prosecuting crimes committed by public officials is also the responsibility of the Supreme Prosecutor's Office, independent prosecutors are dispatched to handle specific cases as they arise.
Setting up a permanent agency to conduct investigations is an expansion of prosecutorial power.
However, under this system, the expansion and contraction of prosecutorial power has always been one of the main themes of political struggles.
Moreover, Secretary McCann used himself as cannon fodder to test his political enemies.
If the action office is eventually forced to be cancelled, a consultant who is unclear whether he is an on-staff or off-staff member will be blamed. If he does something wrong and is fired and moved away, it will have no impact on the authority of the Supreme Prosecutor's Office.
This appointment was indeed rather vague. Was he now an extra-staff consultant or was he already an official of the Supreme Prosecutor's Office
It should be outside the Three Realms and not within the Five Elements, right
Lu Ming could only smile bitterly. Anyway, he would run for council member if he should, and would be a lawyer and fight lawsuits if he should.
A public official can run for election as a legislator only after resigning, but if he does not think he is a public official, then he is not a public official.
Moreover, some of the systems in this world are far from being as strict as those in my previous life.
In the Supreme Prosecutor's Office, I am considered a public official and have indeed become the head of a permanent institution. The prosecutors sitting on both sides of the long table have become my subordinates.
The look in their eyes when they looked at him was obviously different from before.
…
The prosecutors and police officers were all sitting upright at this time. When Lu Ming's eyes swept over them, the low-level prosecutors, except Wang Xiaohu, all lowered their heads.
Because Commissioner Lu has become the superior who can make conclusions on their evaluation comments, and more obviously, he has become a favorite of Chief McCann. This special office is only responsible to Chief McCann.
"Is the forensic report out?" Lu Ming looked at Gao Nianshi, the leader of the first team in the office.
"Yes, a total of eleven thugs, all dead on the spot, and all shot to death, shot in the heart, and with small wounds in the throat, I don't know how it was caused..." Gao Shi Nian said, a little suspicious. According to the confession given by Commissioner Lu's bodyguard, he did not fire many shots, and it seemed that he was also stuck in the car. It seems that Commissioner Lu has other bodyguards, snipers? And is it the kind of sniper who has a special habit of leaving marks on the prey he shoots? The small wound in the throat is probably the killing mark of this sniper, so it is very likely that he is a notorious mercenary who is now following Commissioner Lu. However, there is no need to delve into it.
Lu Ming nodded and said, "Bizhu, you are really careful. It seems that you can use the opponent's weapon to shoot again when killing someone at close range."
"I'm already tracking down the true identities of these thugs!" Gao Shi Nian added.
"The special operations team has closed down the new district branch of St. Anthony's Orphanage. The third team is investigating whether any of its staff have any connection with the thugs."
The person who spoke was Deputy Director Jordan, a young Western prosecutor with a very peaceful personality. Judging from his gentle and elegant temperament, he came from a large family.
"Okay..." Lu Ming sighed, "I narrowly escaped death this time. Seeing you all again feels like a lifetime ago. Everyone, please pay attention to safety in the future!"
"Yes, sir!" The low-level prosecutors and police officers sat up straight and answered loudly in unison.
Lu Ming was stunned for a moment and sighed inwardly, the feeling of power is still different!
No matter how famous or capable a lawyer is, others will never be as respectful of you as they are now.
Then he nodded slightly, stood up and said, "I'm going to go see my friend who was in danger with me."
All prosecutors and police officers, including Jordan, stood up immediately. Although they were respectfully seeing their superior off, there was an eager light in almost everyone's eyes. Even someone as calm as Jordan had a special gleam in his eyes.
“You can move freely!” Lu Ming waved his hand. Just after he took two steps, Jordan followed him and whispered, “Commissioner, can I ask Miss Nicole to sign the photos in my collection? Just one will do…” He smiled, completely different from the usual Buddhist young man.
Lu Ming was helpless: "Well, let me talk to her first. You know, she was also frightened."
"Yes, yes, we all know that. So, since Miss Nicole was sent here, we haven't dared to disturb her." Jordan chuckled dryly.
Lu Ming nodded: "I'll try my best."
"Yes, yes, thank you for your help, Commissioner!" Jordan smiled.
Seeing his servile face, Lu Ming really wanted to punch him in the nose. Come on, in my eyes, you are a proud, introverted and excellent young prosecutor. Is it really that serious for a Nicole to turn you from a Buddha into a running tyrant
Nodded, turned and left.
