Xu Songzi stayed in Xiao Wenjing's office. Previously, she had listened in on the interrogation room, which was actually a bit against protocol. However, she still had another case on Xu Le, and her relationship with Xiao Wenjing had always been good, so the District Prosecutor's Office didn't make things difficult for her.
Next to the office was the hall of the District Prosecutor's Office's Second Section. The staff were busy with the case at hand, but the sudden sound of excitement still made many people raise their heads. Xu Songzi looked over curiously through the glass. She didn't know what evidence these inspectors had found.
"Inspector Xiao, the car has been found." A middle-aged official in his forties looked at Xiao Wenjing and said happily, "It's in the night parking lot at the side of the courtyard. I didn't expect that kid to have no intention of destroying the evidence at all."
The murder on Hushan Road involved two active officers in the Shell Motor Company. The matter was very troublesome. Under pressure from certain parties, the District Prosecutor's Office intercepted the case as quickly as possible. The most important thing at the moment was, of course, to collect evidence of Xu Le's involvement in the case.
The black car that was testified by witnesses to have stopped on Hushan Road was naturally the most important thing. Xiao Wenjing's spirits were lifted. She took out a box of biscuits and chewed on two pieces. She quickly asked, "Has it been sent to the Forensics Department?"
He paused for a moment and said, "Directly scan it with fluorescent light. Even if the car was washed, there should still be blood stains on it. Also, tell the guys in charge of organizing the cleanup to be more careful."
"The car was found half an hour ago. It went straight to the Forensics Department."
Xiao Wenjing drank a mouthful of tea and smiled. She thought that as long as the evidence was found on the black car, the young second lieutenant with a background would never be able to escape.
However, the development of the facts was always the opposite of what the investigators thought. After ten minutes, the excited middle-aged staff member from before pushed open the glass door with a sullen face. He walked to Xiao Wenjing's desk and lowered his voice. He said in a strange tone, "No evidence was found."
Xiao Wenjing moved her gaze away from the files on the table and slowly stood up. She stared at the subordinate in front of her, indicating that she didn't understand what he said at all. Even if they couldn't find the knife in a car that had been left behind by the suspect in the parking lot, there should be some traces of the victim's blood left behind. With the current technology of the Federation, they could find even the tiniest trace of blood.
"The other party did a very professional job and carried out a thorough cleaning. You can even say that this black car is now a new car that just left the factory." The middle-aged official lowered his head and said dejectedly.
Xiao Wenjing noticed the words' professional 'and couldn't help but sink into silence.
The higher-ups were putting a lot of pressure on the District Attorney's Office. They were determined to turn Second Lieutenant Xu Le's case into an ironclad one. With his good relationship with the higher-ups, he even knew where the pressure came from. However, he didn't have any conflicting emotions. This was because during the previous interrogation, he had confirmed that Xu Le was the murderer.
Who was helping Xu Le destroy the evidence? To be able to clean a car with a complicated structure in such a short period of time without leaving a trace, why didn't such a powerful force directly destroy the car?
Xiao Wenjing's brows furrowed like a distorted Chinese character. He took a deep breath and waved his hand to have his subordinate leave the office. He lowered his head again to look at the files on the table.
There were no traces of the victim's blood on the suspect Xu Le's body. It was said that before entering the military prison last night, he had changed his clothes. And before he was locked up, he even used the military's powerful cleansing powder to carry out a thorough cleansing.
Originally, he was just a little regretful that the military prison's cleansing had destroyed the direct evidence that the District Attorney's Office might have gotten from Xu Le. Now that he thought about the black car that could no longer be used as evidence, he couldn't help but think, could it be that from the beginning, there was another group of people in the government secretly helping this suspect get off the hook? Could it be the Ministry of National Defense's Deputy Minister Zou?
Xiao Wenjing looked at the pictures of the crime scene on the table. Suddenly, he angrily slammed the table. The teacup shook and fell to the ground, shattering into pieces.
The sound alarmed the staff outside the office. They all looked over with concern. They didn't know why their boss was so angry.
…
…
The detention center behind the District Attorney's Office was filled with serious criminals. These criminals had already been interrogated by the police and sent to the District Attorney's Office to await trial. Some of them were sent back by the court for additional investigation.
The lights in the detention center were bright, and the surveillance facilities were complete. Also, it was deep behind the District Attorney's Office. There had never been a prison break. The defense work was basically handed over to the electronic surveillance network, so there weren't many people.
There were no beds in the room, only two rows of benches connected to the high-strength plastic wall. Xu Le sat on one of the benches and calculated the time. Then, he turned his head and used his finger to write something on the wall. However, he couldn't leave a mark, so the other prisoners in the same room couldn't see it.
"The data is already in my hands. Next, I need to wait for the Tai family's response. Then, I need to enter the engineering department and create the new generation mecha. At the same time, I need to finish modifying the simulation system that I want to use. Then, I need to find a way to implant my own control program into the prototype mecha in the warehouse."
"Senator Macklin is already in cahoots with the Iron Calculator family. His campaign funds are abundant. If Dean Lin from the Federal Academy of Science continues to support him, then Pabre's side will be in trouble. If I can make the Federal Academy of Science lose face during the research on the new mecha, then their alliance will be much weaker. I think that Dean Lin won't have the face to stand on the political stage again."
"After the assassination, the Tai family wasn't willing to deal with Senator Macklin directly. That was because there was no evidence. Moreover, the rules of the game between the upper echelons of the Federation are like this. If … Senator Ross and Senator Macklin really become the president, then the most I can do is get my hands on a mecha. What use can it be? "
Xu Le silently wrote on the wall. Ever since that firework display, he had cried in the café of the 1st Military Region's living area. The smile on the young man's plain face had decreased a lot, and he had become much quieter. No one knew what he was thinking in his heart.
Tai Zhiyuan didn't know. Shi Qinghai didn't know. Zou Yu didn't know. That mysterious and omnipresent Tai family also didn't know. Only he himself knew. He had been waiting for a certain moment. If the laws of the Federation didn't satisfy him, then he would become the law himself. This was an arrogant and wrong idea, but Xu Le persisted.
The arrest of the young second lieutenant of the Husk Institute didn't attract much attention at this time. No one knew that at this time, he was repeating the plan that he had been repeating for half a year. That plan that seemed a little whimsical.
The District Prosecutor's Office questioned him three times. Other than the first time, when Xu Le said something, he remained silent for the rest of the time. He watched as the minutes and seconds passed. It was already late at night. He seemed calm, but in reality, he was beginning to have a strange feeling in his heart.
Could it be that even with the wisdom of the madam of the Tai family, she couldn't understand what kind of impact the Federal Academy of Science would have on the voters if they were biased in the election? Or could it be that the political power represented by the Tai family had determined that the Academy of Science had already obtained the data and didn't believe that they still had the capital?
Right at this time, the lights in the corridor suddenly dimmed. The night sky outside the window mixed with the faint moonlight and sprinkled into the cell.
The atmosphere in the cell that had been silent all day suddenly became strange.
There were six people in this cell. Other than Xu Le, who had been silently pondering, there was another person who had also been silent.
That person was still silent. Other than him and Xu Le, the other four people stood up and walked towards Xu Le, who was in the corner. The person in the lead had a fierce face. He was about 1.85 meters tall. His arms were hanging by his side like they were cast from iron, swinging nonstop.
That person lit a cigarette and looked at Xu Le with a gloomy and cold gaze.
A buzzing sound was heard. The three surveillance cameras around the cell suddenly turned off. Xu Le narrowed his eyes and looked at the surveillance camera. He seemed to have understood something. Although he had never been in prison before, he was still an orphan. He didn't know how many times he had heard from Li Wei about the black prison.
That big guy laughed silently and smashed his fist towards Xu Le's head. The other people around him also pounced at the same time. It seemed like they wanted to beat Xu Le to death.
Xu Le stood up. His feet moved quickly within the small space on the ground. He struck the armpit, elbows, knees. His movements were extremely fast and clean.
He fiercely kicked the lower abdomen of the person beside him. That person groaned and was kicked three meters away. He fell heavily onto the plastic wall. Before he could fall to the ground, he vomited blood and fainted.
He turned around and blocked the big guy's arm. He raised his arm and elbowed the guy's sternum. The big guy was like an iron tower that lost its balance. With a crack, he collapsed under his feet.
In less than three seconds, all the people surrounding him fell to the ground. The big guy's sternum seemed to be broken. He kept breathing heavily and blood seeped out of his mouth. The people on the ground looked at Xu Le as if they were looking at a monster. They couldn't even get up, let alone attack again.
Xu Le took out a cigarette and lighter from the big guy's body. He sat back on the bench and silently lit one for himself. After thinking for a while, he took out a cigarette and threw it at the guy who had been silent the whole time.
Between the two of them, the four prisoners were still tossing and turning in pain. They desperately wanted to get as far away as possible from the terrifying guy Xu Le. The big guy painfully held onto the edge of the bench next to Xu Le. He wanted to crawl further away, but the pain in his chest made him lack the strength. He could only resign himself to his fate and lean against Xu Le's side. He took deep breaths.
"I didn't know that the Federation's laws allowed the prosecutors to use such despicable methods."
The guy who had been silent the whole time took Xu Le's cigarette and put it next to him. He forced a smile and said, "I don't understand what you mean."
At this moment, the lights in the corridor lit up. The surveillance camera started to work again. The door of the cell opened. The guy looked at Xu Le cautiously and left the cell under the protection of a guard.
Xu Le didn't move. He sat alone on the bench and smoked the cigarette. His two fingers that were holding the cigarette were slightly trembling. If the situation didn't change by tomorrow morning, it meant that the Tai family, who could change everything, didn't want to directly go against the Li family and the Federal Academy of Science for something that they didn't need. Then he had to think of a way himself.
He lit another cigarette, lowered his body, and put it in the big guy's mouth.
