Husky Hotel meeting room.
The meeting at the group leader level was attended only by Jordan, deputy director of the office, Gao Shinian, leader of the first group, Liu Teng, leader of the second group, Zhang Xianhe, leader of the third group, and Cantona, leader of the special operations group.
As the specialist's assistant, Han Annie sat behind Lu Ming to the right and recorded the meeting content.
All the progress of each group is now on the table, and everyone is analyzing it.
The special operations team is the one that has gone the furthest. Now, it is closely monitoring every move of Little Renault and investigating everyone who has contact with Little Renault, trying to find out who "Booker" is.
The team of Gao Ten interrogated the people involved in the case at St. Anthony's Orphanage in Xinfa District. At the same time, Director Wang's account was thoroughly checked. Combined with the testimony of No. 5 Madison, the evidence was irrefutable.
There were also two children from the orphanage, one named Zhao Xuecheng and the other named Gao Xiu'e, whom Lu Ming specifically mentioned.
The whereabouts of the children have been found. Dean Wang kept an account book with the time when the children were sold.
They are all children that "Booker" received from Dean Wang.
Among them, No. 5 Medis was also involved in the murder of Zhao Xuecheng. His body has been found, but it was so horrible that nothing could be identified.
"It seems that if Booker is captured, this organization will collapse!" Liu Teng, the leader of the second group, said optimistically.
Zhang Xianhe, the leader of Group 3, sighed, "We have only achieved a phased success by arresting Booker. The White Rose Movement was never a tightly organized group. It was just an extreme ideology. Even three or two people can claim to be members of the White Rose Movement. As long as this soil is not eradicated, it will be difficult to eradicate it."
He paused, "Moreover, this organization needs a lot of financial support. Most of the thugs who were caught are from the lower class of white people. What financial resources do they have? These extreme thoughts have a greater market among the lower class of white people. They believe that the whole world should belong to white people, and the people of Zhongzhou in the East China Sea should all die. Their unhappy lives and low incomes are all the fault of the people of Zhongzhou."
Cantona and Jordan both looked a little embarrassed and could only pick up the cups to drink coffee.
Zhang Xianhe continued, "But looking at their weapons and equipment, hiding places, and the price they paid for their so-called prey, it shows that they need a lot of financial support."
"So, where does the financial support come from? For example, did Sir Renault provide them with funds?"
When Zhang Xianhe finally mentioned "Sir Renault", the conference room suddenly became quieter.
Everyone present should have thought about this question: Does old Renault support the financial sponsor of the White Rose
Even so, how many celebrities in Donghai support White Rose
If Sir Raynor really provided financial support to radical groups, should he really be investigated
After all, he holds a title and is the most famous film tycoon in the empire.
Lu Ming also nodded. What Zhang Xianhe said made sense. In fact, looking at the booklet that Lao Gui gave him, the extremist organizations he had come into contact with now were just the tip of the iceberg.
After thinking about it, Lu Ming said, "Team Leader Zhang is right. In fact, what we have found now is probably just the surface."
"For the time being, let's define the group headed by Booker involved in this case as White Rose No. 4."
"There's a saying that goes, by the time you find the first cockroach, there may actually be a swarm of them under the floor."
"White Rose No. 4 is the first cockroach we found."
"But White Rose No. 4 is undoubtedly the most radical and brutal extremist organization at present, so we caught them."
"Our current mission is to destroy White Rose No. 4, and we must destroy it severely. This will serve as a deterrent to all cockroaches."
"If we can send most of the members of No. 4 White Rose to the gallows, I believe that for a long time, the other cockroaches will only be able to linger under the floor temporarily and dare not challenge the social order on the floor!"
"Besides, we cannot clean up all the cockroaches with the limited manpower and resources we have. We can only do it slowly."
"For us, that might take several years, or even more than a decade."
"If that happens, this office will lose its meaning to General McCann, and we will lose the support of the Attorney General's Office."
Everyone smiled bitterly in their hearts. Commissioner Lu, it is true that he speaks very bluntly because he is not in these three realms, but it is indeed the case.
"The Supreme Prosecutor's Office and Team Leader McCann need us to produce results as quickly as possible."
"White Rose No. 4 is our first achievement."
"This achievement could be huge. As Team Leader Zhang said, Sir Renault, is he the feeder of this first cockroach?"
"Of course, everything needs to be investigated!"
Zhang Xianhe listened and nodded repeatedly: "The commissioner is right. Our focus now should be on investigating old Renault."
Lu Ming sneered in his heart, and gradually realized that Zhang Xianhe was one of those people who had a lot of complaints about Westerners occupying high positions and the difficulty for Central Asians to rise in class. Therefore, he also had a lot of resentment towards the Western aristocracy.
Yes, he is very capable and has handled many outstanding cases, but until now, he is still only a deputy director of public prosecutions.
Jordan, who was only in his twenties, was parachuted into the Supreme Prosecutor's Office. He was promoted almost every year and is now the Chief Prosecutor.
Moreover, he is also the second-in-command of the Operations Office.
As long as one still has ambition, how can one maintain psychological balance
As for myself, I am a person outside the Three Realms. After finishing this case, I might go back to being a lawyer.
Moreover, one's own achievements can completely suppress the envy, jealousy and hatred of others towards oneself.
Of course, it is also because I am in the limelight now. If I continue to rely on my old capital without any new and eye-catching performance in lawsuits, I will gradually be forgotten by the crowd.
He looked at everyone again and saw that they all looked a little strange when Zhang Xianhe talked about "investigating old Renault".
Lu Ming pondered for a moment, "Actually, considering the expenses of White Rose No. 4, Little Renault can definitely afford it."
Jordan said immediately, "Yes, Commissioner. Moreover, I have an idea. If most of the funding for White Rose No. 4 comes from Little Renault, I have seen relevant evidence and it is said that before each operation, Little Renault and Booker would discuss privately. I have also seen the investigation and analysis of Little Renault. This person has a high IQ and a strong desire for control. He paid so much money, but he has to listen to others telling the militants he raised what to do? I don't think it makes sense."
"If Little Renault is a highly intelligent person, I have reason to suspect that Booker is just his puppet. Little Renault may have always considered the worst-case scenario, so Booker is just his smokescreen and insulator. If the plan fails, he can also reduce his guilt. I have read the confessions of all the thugs, and there are very few murders that Little Renault directly participated in. If he was instructed or even coerced by someone, he may not be sentenced to more than a few years."
Looking at Jordan, Nicole's fanboy and Mackenzie's chosen deputy director of the office, Lu Ming smiled and thought that he had underestimated him. It was just as he thought.
Everyone nodded at this time.
Lu Ming looked at Zhang Xianhe and said, "In a moment, hand Sirov over to my people, but keep it a secret from everyone. I will provide him with witness protection."
Zhang Xianhe was stunned. Sirov was just a little hooligan who had nothing to do with the White Rose. He was just used by Little Renault to keep an eye on the big star Nicole. Even if he was released, it would not affect the prosecution of the entire White Rose organization.
How did he enter the witness protection program? And it seems that the commissioner's personal power provided protection.
But he just nodded: "Okay."
Lu Ming thought of a possibility. If the situation really developed in that direction, Sirov might become the most critical witness.
