Xu Le stood silently in front of the window, looking at the overgrown weeds. The grass was green, but because it was extraordinarily messy, there was not much softness in spring. I don’t know how wide the Qingcheng Military Prison is, or what dangers are hidden in the seemingly serene and desolate fields, mountains and forests, but before being interrogated, he had planned to try to escape at all costs, but this plan was impossible. Not temporarily terminated.
On the same day, he knocked out the director of the fourth division of the FBI. Xu Le thought that he would be greeted with the most severe punishment from the prison, and under the tense situation at the time, the federal officials who were in charge of interrogating him would also make himself pay for it. The price was extremely heavy, but what I didn't expect was that the officers of the Investigation Bureau in the interrogation room had not had time to respond violently. The prison sent a team of soldiers to control the situation in the room and escorted him out. .
It seems that someone is protecting themselves, but it is not known who. Xu Le looked out the window at the burning wasteland and grassy sea in the twilight. He lowered his head and took a slow breath. He felt that his situation was like a fog, and even he couldn't figure out what would happen next.
He frowned, slumped down, moved his legs with difficulty, and moved back to the bed with difficulty. In just a few short steps, he walked so hard that when he sat on the edge of the bed, he let out a very satisfied sigh.
There are still echoes of those noises in my ears. After being tortured by the FBI for several days, I can clearly feel every pain in my body, especially the muscles on the front of my legs, because the magnetism was forcibly broken that day. Pulled by the adsorption force of the ground, each pair of long muscle fibers is like rust. As long as he wants to move, it will rub against each other rough, causing intense pain.
Sitting on the edge of the bed, Xu Le looked down at his ankles. There was an alloy chain at the back of the heavy alloy shackles, which tied him firmly to the wall. He kicked the director that day. The prison was shocked that someone could break free from the magnetic shackles by the power of the flesh, and his guards became stricter.
No one interrogated him again, and his daily meals were automatically sent to the cell. Xu Le seemed to have returned to the dark cell period of those few months. But he couldn't get used to this kind of loneliness. In the dark days of Fox Fortress, his biggest gain was probably the communication with the "old thing". Unfortunately, he still couldn't get through the old thing and communicate with him. People in the federation are connected in two ways. And his biggest question is why the brilliance of the federal charter should help him.
He once made a sincere inquiry to the black dream, but got a mechanized answer. He has communicated more frequently. He has become accustomed to this way, no longer afraid, but has a more intimate feeling. It's a pity that I know that there is a universe that is as rich as stars and vast, and it is not real life, so it feels a little weird.
No matter how great a program is, no matter how similar it is to life, it is still just a program after all, and it will only be carried out mechanically according to a certain protocol. This kind of protocol can only be related to the federal charter and Xu Le's relevant authority, and cannot be related to feelings.
With the engineer's intuition and inference ability, Xu Le was gradually able to calculate and understand that the Federal Computer occasionally helped him and occasionally helped him, but it was not like the firearms in his hands. The camouflage chip on the back of the neck, the former coma, the active contact in the black dream.
This kind of wonderful thing happened, maybe it was a logic error in the program of the federal computer, or it might be some kind of pre-installed program, Xu Le just didn't understand the truth.
To paraphrase a federal proverb: If you can't understand, if you can't touch the truth, enjoy the surface of the truth.
This is exactly what Xu Le did now. He gently rubbed the bracelet on his wrist with a wry smile on his face.
The faint metallic luster of the bracelet is unremarkable, and the style is extremely simple. Without the aid of instruments, it is difficult for ordinary people to distinguish the seemingly subtle patterns on the bracelet, which are actually two lines of poem-like language. During the process, the bracelet on Xu Le's wrist went through many inspections, but no problem was found. Because the bracelet could not be removed, the military prison had to let him wear it.
In the entire universe, probably only Xu Le knows what kind of secrets and what kind of wisdom is hidden in this ordinary bracelet.
The bracelet also has a function that makes Xu Le often sweat on his back. As early as after the knife light on Hushan Road, he had discovered that the bracelet left by the uncle actually contained the secrets of countless famous or non-famous spooky prisons in the Federation. Architectural composition... After a serious analysis, he has to sincerely sigh about Uncle Feng Yu's sturdy life. Uncle has no idea how many times he has been arrested by the federation, locked in various high-security prisons, and how many times he has crossed prisons in his life. !
It's a pity that I don't have the tools at hand to open the shackles. Xu Le lowered his head and squinted his eyes. Memories and plans flashed through his mind quickly, but his mood became colder and colder. Some people in the federation must die by themselves, especially the lady, what should I do
In the interrogation room, the high-ranking officials of the FBI were kicked into the air and sprayed blood, and he did not know whether to live or die. With Xu Le's current status as a federal prisoner, he could only eat countless bad fruits, and it is better to die if he is repaired by a powerful state machine. , However, the military prison only strengthened his guards, but under the pretext of security and control measures, it prevented the FBI's follow-up review, in a sense, it was actually protecting him.
What happened in Qingcheng Prison is nothing but a concrete manifestation of the shift in the wind direction of the upper echelons of the Federation.
At the end of May of the sixty-eighth year of the constitutional calendar, Brin, the director of the presidential residence, deeply understood the meaning of His Excellency President Pabble's silence, and expressed his view on the phone that the heroes of the Federation should not be allowed to shed blood and tears.
So the silent federal military broke the silence. The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Miles, personally presented to the president Xu Le's achievements in the federation, such as MX mechas, such as accidentally taking Returning the deadly space channel data, such as robbing Medellin's true face in front of the Charter Bureau for no reason, and killing the most successful spy in the empire.
For these reasons, Admiral Miles firmly requested His Excellency President Pabble to grant Xu Le amnesty. Almost at the same time, Commander Zhong of Xilin Military Region, who had been separated from the federal government for decades, also expressed his attitude to the presidential residence, hoping to release Xu Le as soon as possible.
The people did not know these things, but the upper echelons of the federation had gradually become clear, and the federation soldiers knew better than those politicians, if Medellin escaped at that time, what kind of harm it would cause to the federation.
The federal army pays attention to punishment for wrongdoing and reward for meritorious deeds. Coupled with the cryptic relationship between Xu Le and the Secretary of Defense's daughter, the Xilin Zhong family has a little known connection to him. The most important thing is that the army appreciates Xu Le's An extraordinary talent, such a temperament—the general attitude of the entire army’s upper echelons, naturally favors the pardon of Xu Le.
With the support of the federal military, President Pabble's views on the matter have the most reliable strength guarantee, and the procedure for amnesty Xu Le in the official residence has begun, but even if the president is pardoned, he still needs to be sentenced by a military court in advance. , so it will take some time.
Just when everything was developing in the beautiful direction of the wind blowing clouds and seeing the blue sky, it encountered a sudden obstacle.
Important government ministers, several committee chairmen on Parliament Hill, and even two Supreme Court justices who have just learned the truth have expressed their opinions cautiously and firmly to the presidential residence through various channels. I understand the president's will to pardon Xu Le, but think that a terrorist with blood on his hands, no matter what good results he has done, his own actions have already violated federal laws. To maintain the spirit of the Federal Charter, the Federation must give Xu Le a fair and undisturbed trial.
President Pabble knows that these are all excuses, but many people in the federal government do not want to see a dangerous person who regards the law as nothing to be released. This represents the opinions of a large part of the forces.
Mr. President does not need to consider the opinions of these people, but he must consider the opinions of the lady.
The unmarked black car left from the flat lawn in front of the presidential residence and drove towards the back mountain of Mochou. Tonight, for the aftermath of Medellin's death, for the ending of Xu Le, President Pabble and his wife had a fight. A very candid conversation. Obviously, Mr. President is not willing to affect the unity of the upper levels of the Federation because of this incident, let alone affect the friendship between him and his wife, and he believes that his wife will be persuaded by himself, so there is such a scene. conversation.
During the conversation, Mrs. Tai calmly expressed her opinion, polite but persistent. However, unlike his predecessor, President Pabble listened calmly with a smile, but still insisted on his position of pardoning Xu Le.
It can't be said to be unhappy, but at least the atmosphere is a little depressing. This depressing atmosphere continued into the carriage, Shen Li sat quietly in the passenger seat, and said, "The amnesty procedure is still a month away. I have finished sorting out the relevant files about Xu Le, and I can do it at any time. to the Charter Office."
Secretary Shen suddenly fell silent at this moment, did not look back, and said sincerely: "Madam, Your Excellency the President doesn't know this, why didn't you tell him? If he knew that Xu Le's existence might endanger the security of the Charter, he would definitely not Uphold the amnesty."
Mrs. Tai, who was sitting in the back row, was wearing a dark trench coat with her hands naturally spread beside her. Her expression was indifferent and calm. She was not angry because the president had rejected her opinion. When she heard Shen Li's words, she was very careful. The thin eyebrows trembled slightly on the well-maintained face, and said slowly, "Don't discuss this topic again in the future."
When Secretary Shen heard these words in a calm tone, he suddenly felt a little cold, and subconsciously looked at the car window, only to find that the window was closed so tightly that no wind was blowing in. Of course, it was already late spring at this time. Even if there was a night wind blowing in, it would only be warm. He was suddenly cold at the moment, but his senses were affected by his mood.
Xu Le's secret is known only to the three people in the car in the current federation. Shen Li knew that this represented his wife's absolute trust in him, and the previous remarks were very inappropriate.
Mrs. Tai turned her head and looked out the window at the familiar street scene of the capital. She has lived for many years in this city with the core of federal power, and she has never really approached this core of power, and this core of power has to be constantly influenced by her, but today she suddenly discovered that now The President of the Federation is indeed a person who is determined and not easily influenced.
Xu Le's secret is Feng Yu's secret. In the eyes of Madam, it is also her secret. She didn't want to share this secret with anyone. In general, but now she knows that if she doesn't throw out this secret, it seems that she can't kill Xu Le.
At the presidential inauguration ceremony five months ago, she and the Charter Bureau knew about Xu Le's entry into the S2 Huanshan Four-State Foundation Building almost at the same time. After a short period of thinking and weighing, she immediately wrote a A light foreshadowing.
Secretary Bai, who found an opportunity to report back information on the top of the mountain, left quietly, and Xu Le's detailed plan revealed the most fatal flaw.
However, under such circumstances, the fact that the kid named Xu Le was able to kill Medellin made Madam vigilant, angry, and a little disappointed, so she had to let Xu Le die.
The silence in the carriage continued until they entered Mochou Mountain. When Secretary Shen opened the car door for his wife, he saw the resolute look on the corner of his eyebrows, and when he thought of the previous conversation in the presidential residence, he suddenly understood what his wife wanted to do.
Xu Le must die. If the President grants amnesty first, and his wife throws the bomb through the Charter Bureau, the government and the military will be utterly speechless. Mrs. Tai certainly does not expect to control a federal president, but at least the president must have enough respect for her. This arrangement is undoubtedly the most understated, yet the most powerful method.
Secretary Shen held an umbrella and walked with his wife to the villa from the slight spring rain. The respect in his heart was like this rain.
The mountain rain is about to fall to the ground, and the wind blows and pours into the building. The dispute between the upper levels of the federation on this matter was strictly controlled within a very small range of knowledge. Partners and stakeholders within the government have begun to make their own moves.
Although the amnesty program has not been terminated, it is extremely difficult to walk. Facing the pressure of the Federation's Qianshi family, even Admiral Miles seems to feel the difficulty. During a phone conversation with Zou Yingxing, he was a little angry. Expressed his pessimistic views and concerns about the matter.
Although His Excellency the President and the military have enough confidence, no one knows what the lady is thinking, and whether she is holding a secret that is unknown to outsiders. Otherwise, with the lady's political wisdom, it is impossible to oppose the President. Amnesty for Xu Le, you must know that Xu Le and the Tai family have always had a close relationship.
Everyone wanted to kill, and the Federation was silent.
In this oppressive atmosphere, a black car slowly stopped at the gate of Qingcheng Military Prison, and a thin major officer stepped down from the car, accompanied by a beautiful man. Woman in white dress.
The soldiers in the military prison looked at the man and woman at the door as if they were looking at two fools. Want to visit federal felons? Don't they know who is being held in Qingcheng Prison? There has never been a warm story like a visit here
However, the soldiers in charge of the security have forgotten that if they were really two fools, how could they have found the real location of the Qingcheng Military Prison
