After the bloody incident in South Kezhou, under the strong accusations of the government and the continuous attacks of countless news media, the mainstream of the Federation society believed that Tai Zhiyuan and the silent protesters were responsible for the incident. Although there were some angry denunciations on the Internet, it did not attract much attention and no one believed them.
The people of the Federation did not know what really happened that day until they saw the bloody scene on the news channel. They saw the stones flying in the sky, smashing the heads of the women and the elderly, while the military police looked on indifferently from a distance.
The angle of the video was very comprehensive and the time period was very long. Some of the material came from the news channel and the Golden Star Documentary Film Studio, while some was provided by the data department of Tai Zhiyuan's office. It was quite rich. Although the editing technique was a bit amateur, the choppy switching of the scenes brought a great psychological impact to the audience.
The riot police of South Kezhou were lining up to evacuate. The violence in the middle of the street was escalating. In the distance, a middle-aged official wearing a windbreaker was talking on the phone. There was a strange smile on his face. These were scenes that the people of the federation had never seen before. Just like that, they jumped out of the TV screen in a raw manner. In a situation where no one was mentally prepared, they were ruthlessly smashed into their brains.
The camera lens suddenly zoomed in from upstairs to the ground, aiming at a middle-aged man who was cold-bloodedly waving an iron rod in the crowd. Even the most ordinary people could smell the scent of a powerful organization from this man, because he appeared to be too calm.
The scene changed again, aiming at an alley behind the street. The middle-aged man who was cold-bloodedly beating the protesters was paralyzed on the wall with blood all over his head. He looked at the approaching camera in horror, but he could not stop the hand beside the camera from pulling hard, pulling out a bunch of surveillance equipment from under his clothes, as well as a police officer's ID.
…
…
After the "Today's Federation" broadcast the video for 17 minutes, the government of the Federation reacted and used remote authority to directly stop the broadcast.
The person who made the video, Han Chu with a gloomy and pale face, did not care about this. The following scenes of the South Kezhou mafia brothers rushing into the alley would not be broadcasted, but the previous scenes of blood flying everywhere, even if the TV screen turned black, would still stay on the retina of the Federation people for a long time, which was enough to explain too much of the truth.
Of course, a more complete video had been uploaded to the Federation's civilian network at the same time the news channel was broadcasted, and entered countless computers in the shortest time possible.
…
…
As the oldest, most authoritative news channel in the Federation, as well as the one with the widest audience, it had shockingly changed its conservative and even somewhat dull style in recent years. With unimaginable courage, it had suddenly broadcasted such a video that exposed the dark secrets behind the bloody incident in South Kezhou. This itself was a topic that was worth exploring.
However, in the fierce response caused by the video, this topic had long been forgotten. Countless people felt cheated and fooled, and angrily called to complain. As time passed, the far-reaching impact of the broadcast gradually revealed its true valiance. The people of various states, who had been silently watching the march with mixed feelings, began to take to the streets in twos and threes. There were more and more demonstrations of various sizes, and the people angrily demanded an explanation from the government.
Four days after the broadcast of the video, after 14 hours of fierce debate, the Parliament Hill passed a resolution at 2: 30 a.m., requesting the government to provide a detailed explanation of the bloodshed incident in South Kezhou. At the same time, a temporary investigation committee was set up, and Senator Tai Zhiyuan and the relevant officials of South Kezhou were summoned to the Parliament Hill for questioning.
The Press Association issued an announcement through major media, requesting the government to immediately release Chief Editor Bob and senior reporter Wood of the Capital Special District Daily. They also solemnly apologized for the incident, and promised that such a situation would never happen again.
Winter had already arrived in the northern hemisphere, and the Capital Special District finally had its first real snow. In the cold, large snowflakes, many people were keenly aware that the cold wind that passed through the leaden clouds seemed to be gradually changing direction.
At this time, the Federation government made their response. In the Oval Office, President Pabre gave a televised speech to the entire Federation.
In the televised speech, President Pabre did not deliberately hide the anger on his dark face, nor the deep fatigue between his eyebrows. He used a low and deep voice and a simple and sincere attitude to solemnly apologize to all the people of the Federation on behalf of the Federation government.
Following that, he strongly praised the courage of the news channel to reveal the truth, and announced that the bloodshed incident in South Kezhou would be thoroughly investigated and severely punished. He would not allow such an ugly incident to happen again in the beautiful land of the Federation.
The Federation government's investigation was very fast. The temporary investigation committee on the Parliament Hill had not even come up with the establishment charter, and Senator Tai Zhiyuan had not yet boarded the plane back to the capital. The joint investigation department of the government, consisting of the Bureau of Proclamation, the Ministry of National Defense, and the Federation Bureau of Investigation, flew to the capital of South Kezhou with a murderous aura. That night, they arrested the director of the State Police. The next morning, after reading a resignation statement, the governor of South Kezhou committed suicide in his luxurious office.
…
…
The Federation government's investigation was very fast and tough. It was not only limited to the bloodshed incident in South Kezhou. Those sharp knives had quietly woven into a net, enveloping those people in the underworld of South Kezhou.
At the same time when the governor of South Kezhou committed suicide, the joint investigation department with high authority directly took over all the police departments in South Kezhou and all the foreign spies of the Federation Bureau of Investigation. With a thunderous momentum, they swept through more than 40 streets in 13 cities in the state, silently and sternly destroying all the underworld halls in South Kezhou.
For this operation, the Federation government dispatched a total of more than 20,000 military and police spies, and more than 4,300 underworld members were arrested on the spot. Seven of the underworld's core members were shot dead on the spot because they resisted arrest. All the detention centers and prisons in South Kezhou were instantly filled with underworld members. However, these underworld members still had indifferent expressions on their faces.
The special forces directly under the joint investigation department, under the cover of the night before dawn, raided the underworld headquarters in South Kezhou three hours in advance. This special forces started three years ago in the pursuit of Xu Le and had become more powerful over the years. All the members were from the Philadelphia Body Cultivation Gym. They were well-trained, well-equipped, and extremely powerful. And this time, they only had one target: Zhang Xiaohua.
However, they did not find Zhang Xiaohua's figure at all.
In the back of a container truck transporting seafood from South Kezhou to the Capital Special District, under a lot of frozen fish, a burly underworld leader wearing an oxygen mask sat silently with his legs crossed. He was wearing very thick clothes, and the tattoo of a big flower on the back of his neck looked particularly cold and ferocious because of the cold.
On his right hand was an extremely big and fat fish with a gun hidden in its belly.
…
…
"The investigation must continue in depth. I sincerely hope that Parliament Hill can conduct a comprehensive re-examination of this matter. I believe that no one wants the truth of the bloodshed incident in South Kezhou to be annihilated with the suicide of that coward."
President Pabre, who was tired but still had a determined gaze, stared at the camera of the news channel, facing all the Federation citizens on the other side of the camera, and facing the enemies hidden in the dark, he calmly said in a low voice:
"Whether the voters believe it or not, whether this statement is naive or childish, I am willing to swear on my father's character again."
"Before the bloodshed incident in South Kezhou, I and the staff directly under the President's Residence had never heard of the situation, and had nothing to do with this incident."
"This is the promise of the Federation President Pabre, whom you elected."
Lin Banshan quietly looked at the TV screen and shook his head. He was too lazy to make any negative comments about the Federation President who swore on his father's character on the TV.
He stood up, took the windbreaker from his secretary, and put it on his shoulders. He silently walked out of the Linyuan, and then saw the Federation Investigation Bureau officers who had come to arrest him at the entrance of the Linyuan.
A cold anti-riot armored vehicle and more than a dozen secret agents in black suits. Lin Banshan frowned slightly. He didn't know if he should think that the government valued him, or that they were underestimating his strength.
"Government employees are paid, not soldiers, so I suggest that you don't risk your lives."
After a moment of silence, Lin Banshan made a rare suggestion, as if he was giving the most authoritative commentary to his suggestion or threat. A gunshot rang out in the forest in the distance of the Linyuan.
The gunshot was gentle and even delicate, but the armor of the anti-riot vehicle blocking the entrance of the Linyuan was torn apart by the bullet like a piece of paper, and a cloud of white smoke burst out!
The agents of the Federation government were pale. They couldn't imagine this scene at all. Although Lin Banshan had made a name for himself in the Federation more than a decade ago, no one believed that this underworld emperor dared to go to war with the Federation government, and that he actually had such a terrifying long-range weapon in his hands.
With a bang, the black umbrella opened. Lin Banshan slowly walked out of the Linyuan under the protection of more than 40 armed bodyguards. He didn't even look at the government officials. After he got into the car, he made a call.
"I'm not Xu Le. I'm not interested in going to war with the Federation government, but they want to invite me back to the bureau for tea without any reason. Moreover, it's a low-level place like the Federation Investigation Bureau. I feel humiliated. If it was your bureau, maybe I'd be interested."
"Old Cui, I'm not familiar with Zhong Laohu, so I don't care how Tai Zhiyuan and Madman Li will deal with you in the future, but between me and the president, you have to remain neutral. I'll be going back to the countryside to stay for a few days. If the government wants to find me, you know what to do."
The director of the Bureau of Proclamation on the other end of the phone said something, but Lin Banshan patiently waited for him to finish. He said in an unquestionable tone, "If you want to find me, then I'll go to the Bureau of Proclamation to find you."
