Chapter 465: Plans and Persuasion

"Pop..."

The guy in the passenger seat sucked his fingers, and only then took out a handkerchief to wipe his fingers clean, "It's a bit troublesome after observing for these few days."

The driver is also organizing the food he left over. He put some food residue left over into a kraft paper bag, and then threw it on the side of the road.

The cleanliness of the Federation's ground is the same as the freedom it claims; it's complete nonsense.

Garbage that can be seen everywhere on the ground is everywhere, but it is worth mentioning that cigarette butts really can't be seen here.

Because cigarette butts are picked up by some poor people and remade into cigarettes to sell to other poor people.

And there is not much garbage that can be sold for money. With so many refugees pouring in, the garbage that can be sold for money in the entire city is pitifully small, and the garbage that can be seen on the street is worthless and can't be exchanged for money.

The driver wiped his hands clean, wrapped his mouth around some residue still remaining in his mouth, and swallowed it, "His protection is very tight; we can only get him out through other ways."

For these few days, they have been observing around Lansi's company and the places he might go. Lansi's security quality is very high, and there are no major loopholes.

Even if he goes to the same place, he will constantly change routes, which makes people unable to ambush him halfway.

"Perhaps giving him a reason that he 'has to come' is a good way. Only in this way is there a possibility."

"Boss didn't investigate clearly before taking this task; it was simply too unwise."

The driver was a bit worried, "The Lansi family's power is very strong. I'm worried that if we fail, they might also launch retaliation against us."

The person in the passenger seat looked very relaxed, "Don't think too much. Wanting to retaliate against us, unless he can develop to Jinzhou!"

"And regardless of success or failure, we leave after doing it, not giving him a chance to keep us. Apart from those people betraying us, I can't think of any reason we would be exposed."

The driver didn't talk about this problem that didn't sound very auspicious. He pondered for a moment, "Then do you have any ideas now?"

The person in the passenger seat nodded, "Give him a little surprise from his peers in Jinzhou!"

A little later, William made a phone call to Lansi, "I have a few people here who say you arranged for them to protect me?"

"What happened?"

Lansi arranged security forces for all important people, including William.

"Encountered a small challenge. They might use some irregular means. To prevent these things that would make me uncomfortable from happening, I arranged bodyguards for each of you."

"Protect Emily and Patricia."

William was silent for a while, "Sounds very dangerous."

"Actually, I have a guess, and I will know the answer soon. By then, there will be no such problems."

Lansi thinks it's unlikely that the Koda family did it; they have already actively washed themselves clean.

Although Gao Li still handles some gang-related work, like smashing and murdering, it is rarely done so obviously.

Now the Koda family uses more of the power they accumulated in the past, using regular means to deal with those challengers.

Instead of really wanting to fight and kill, getting a bunch of gunmen, and swaggering through the streets.

Moreover, the core members of the Koda family are also in New Jincheng. If they mess around, the trouble and danger they have to face are much more than what Lansi has to face.

So from the perspective of "who benefits the most" now, the biggest possibility is the Liji Group.

The Liji Group is not a "civilized" company. During the Saint Agriculture Festival, Lansi also chatted with Hubert (Patricia's great-uncle) about these.

In the early years, the Liji Group came to find the Lawrence family, proposing to contract the sales situation of all their agricultural products every year.

When they came, it didn't look like a business negotiation at all, more like a "firefight."

Seven or eight cars came, a total of twenty or thirty people, and at a glance, they were the kind that were very hard to mess with.

But fortunately, the men of the Lawrence family were not timid, nor were they afraid of trouble, plus some cowboys who grew up on the farm came out with guns, and finally they didn't "negotiate."

Later, they encountered some trouble, like animals being shot, rice fields being set on fire, and the two sides also had some actual friction.

Both sides had casualties, until confirming that the Lawrence farm could not be compromised, they left.

This is also why the Lawrence farm has a large farm, and every year there are so many agricultural products maturing, yet they have no connection with any channel merchants and insist on selling them themselves.

And it is said that they have done this more than once. In some relatively desolate places, there were even creepy rumors of the Liji Group killing farmers and then directly entrusting the farmers' property to those farmers who were willing to cooperate with them!

In short, they are not good people, and using some means outside the rules is also within Lansi's expectations.

William looked at the bodyguards in the room and outside the room. Although he was a bit unaccustomed, he had to say that the sense of security was full.

"Then let's do this for now, pay attention to Emily and Patricia's side..."

After the phone hung up, Patricia made a call to Lansi, "A few people came over, saying you arranged them. Have you encountered any trouble?"

Lansi said the words he explained to William again, and Patricia could also understand. After all, she grew up on a farm when she was a child.

Since she was a child, she heard her grandfathers talking about various bad things done by the Federation's agricultural channel interest groups, and she believed these people could do it.

"I will pay attention to safety, you also pay attention to safety!" she instructed, "I plan to ask for leave, I have already told the supervisor, I will come back to work after your matter is over."

The girl's awareness was very high, and there was no thought of "I know I am very dangerous, but compared to danger, my work is obviously more important."

Lansi was very gratified by this; he originally planned to take the initiative to persuade Patricia to rest for a few days.

The court will soon have a result. Once the prosecutor prosecutes those workers, the appellate court will reject this case and uphold the original verdict, then Lansi can directly apply for mandatory enforcement after getting the result.

At most, it won't exceed a week!

If it weren't for making everything conform to the process, actually, this kind of case with solid evidence and complete testimony could go to a fast-track court.

The two chatted for a few sentences and then Patricia hung up the phone. She had to go back as soon as possible, and by the way, she could take care of Emily.

She was worried that Emily would be afraid, but actually, Emily wouldn't be afraid at all, because she had already taken out the pistol she bought when she was young and was studying how to put bullets into it.

A few minutes later, the police received a "tip-off call," locked onto the location of the last three fugitives in the Liji Group wheat sprouting case, and successfully arrested them.

These people very cooperatively completed the transcript and confessed the criminal process.

The principal offender claimed that they were humiliated by the staff of the Liji Group at work, thereby developing a desire for revenge.

But they didn't dare to directly harm those staff members, so they thought of using their identity as dock workers to wet the wheat, promote its sprouting, and make the Liji Group suffer losses, so they could vent their anger.

The case itself is not complicated; there is a motive, a process, and an ending, and all procedures and processes conform to the Federation's judicial requirements.

This case could even be taken out as a textbook case; you can't find a single problem or flaw!

But the more such a case is, actually, the bigger the problem.

In the police station of the Port Branch, a police officer received a call and left the police station.

He came to a cafe diagonally opposite the police station, sat down, ordered a cup of coffee, asked for a pancake, and soon someone sat opposite him.

This police officer looked up and down at the person in front of him. He was also wearing a police uniform, but the temperament on his body made him look not very much like an ordinary police officer.

"Your police uniform is too clean," he said.

The guy in front of him was the legal consultant beside the Commissioner. He needed to talk to a suspect privately to drag the case out.

If the prosecutor really intervened and entered the prosecution stage, then soon they would have to face huge liquidated damages claims, which is not what the headquarters wants to see.

So only by making the witness recant and make a confession unfavorable to other suspects, is it possible to drag it out.

The legal consultant ordered a cup of cheap coffee, then used the corner of a business card to dip some coffee, flicked it onto his body, asked for some butter, and then smeared the butter on his cuffs and collar.

This way his clothes looked like they had been worn for a long time, and his temperament was not as clean as just now.

The police officer nodded, "Looks much better this way," he picked up the coffee and took a sip, "You only have five minutes at most."

He said this and shook his head, "I actually don't want to help you, but I owe him a favor."

"Don't do anything other than what you promised; I don't want to cause trouble!"

Hunter just called him and told him to find a way to arrange for someone to talk to one of the suspects alone, five minutes would be enough.

He originally refused because the custody of the principal offender was very strict, but Hunter said that the one they wanted to see was an accomplice who was not so important, so he agreed.

Those accomplices, although detained separately, actually didn't have anyone specifically watching them; they were all in independent detention rooms.

As long as the door was closed, no one knew what happened inside.

The legal consultant nodded. He also messed up his hair a bit, "I won't do other things."

He said this and took an envelope out of his pocket, placed it on the table, and pushed it over.

From its thickness, there were at least two thousand dollars here, if they used twenty-dollar denomination banknotes.

"We didn't talk about this before," his gaze was fixed on the envelope.

The legal consultant smiled and said, "This is your reward. I don't care what relationship you have with Hunter. You helped me, and he also helped me."

"He helped me, I have already given him his reward."

"You also helped me, this is your reward."

"Two thousand dollars."

He even specifically said how much money was here.

When the guess became reality, the police officer still couldn't help but gasp.

According to his current salary standard, this was almost two years of income without eating or drinking.

He didn't have the slightest hesitation, picked it up, and stuffed it into his inner pocket, "Thank you."

Saying this, he stood up, "Let's go, the sooner we finish this, the better, otherwise I always feel uneasy in my heart."

The legal consultant followed behind him, and the two entered the Port Branch one after the other.

New Jincheng has a total of eleven branches and one City Police Station, which is the headquarters.

Although the police system is a relatively closed system, the police officers between branches don't all know each other.

There will always be some new faces, as long as the police badge on the chest of this police officer looks like there is no problem, then no one will block him.

Especially since people at this time do not doubt his authenticity at all, because they do not think anyone would be so bold as to impersonate a police officer, and still have to go to the police station to turn around.

The place where criminal suspects are detained is behind the branch building. The police officer seemed to have something to do, but actually, he brought the legal consultant to the outside of the detention room of the suspect he had chosen.

The police officer took the initiative to walk to the side of the police officer responsible for guarding these people and found an excuse to leave with him.

When leaving, he glanced at the legal consultant and left without looking back.

The legal consultant picked up a bunch of keys from the table, found that one, pushed open the door of the detention room, and walked in.

The worker sitting on the bench looked up at the police officer who came in, a bit confused.

The legal consultant used a very fast, but completely audible and understandable speed, to say the worker's family situation.

Looking at the other party's still confused face, he asked, "How much money did they promise to give you to let you take the blame?"

The worker became a bit vigilant, "I don't know what you are talking about."

"No, you know, because they gave you a sum of money to let you take the blame. I believe this must be a not-small number, otherwise, you wouldn't have agreed."

"I heard you have to stay inside for at least five or six years, so do you think the money they gave you is enough to buy your precious time?"

The worker looked around, and the legal consultant stopped his possible actions, "Don't rush to shout first, let's just chat for a few sentences."

"After all, apart from yourself, you also have family, right?"

This sentence didn't sound fierce at all, but it was the most unsettling threat.

Because the worker is here and cannot go out for a short time, his worry about his family will double.

His expression also became serious, "If you dare to harm my family, I guarantee, I will find you and tear you apart!"

The legal consultant shook his head, "No, I haven't harmed them; the one who harmed them is you!"

Looking at the worker who widened his eyes as if he didn't understand what he was saying, the legal consultant's face showed a smile, "In the most important growth time of your child, you lost your company."

"His classmates will also mock his father for being a criminal, thereby neglecting him, and even bullying him."

"Your wife lost your protection; she has no one to rely on. Even if they promised to give you a sum of money, this money cannot replace you to accompany her."

"She will be disappointed, will be painful, will be lonely. Do you think such a woman, when she is most lonely and painful, will need to find someone to accompany her?"

"Your parents, because of your imprisonment, cannot obtain your help, whether in life or other things."

"They might also suffer huge spiritual trauma because of your imprisonment, become silent, become not loving to speak, not loving to communicate."

"Have you considered it?"

"When you were imprisoned, your family encountered trouble. Who can help you?"

"Your wife, child, they lost your company. A few years later, can they still have the same feelings as you now?"

"You have to learn to think, and it's not only this way that can let you make money."

The legal consultant glanced at the watch on his wrist, "If you can tell the truth in court, then I will give you twenty thousand dollars, give you and your wife a new job, and let you stay away from Likai State."

"You don't have to worry about the gang finding trouble with you, because they can't find you, and if they want to find trouble, they are finding trouble with us."

"Take the twenty thousand dollars and start a new life."

"Or take what they promised you—I don't know the specific amount—and spend the best few years of your life in prison."

"Let your child lose the pride of a father, let your wife lose the warmth of a husband, let your parents lose the reliance of a child!"

"When they need you most, where are you?"

"I believe you should have a choice."

He said this and paused, "You can think about it seriously."

"As long as you tell the truth in court, I can guarantee your safety, and I can guarantee you can get this money!"

He said this and looked at the watch on his hand again, "I'm leaving first, but I believe we will meet again!"

He said this and directly left the room, locked the door again, and put the keys on the table.

When he finished all this, the door of the detention room opened, and the police officer and the police officer responsible for guarding came in from outside.

The police officer responsible for guarding had some doubtful eyes stay on the legal consultant's face for a moment, and the two brushed past each other.

"I haven't seen this person, is he a new colleague?"

"Looks a bit smelly!"

The police officer showed some smiles, "Not clear, you know a lot of people have come here recently!"

The guarding police officer nodded and sat back behind that table, "Thanks for your cigarettes and donuts, I'll treat you next time!"

The police officer smiled and patted his shoulder, "Anytime!"

Saying this, he turned and left.

He exhaled heavily, smiled, and pushed the door away.

Outside the door, the legal consultant had already come to the telephone booth and dialed a number.

"I have already met him, very likely already made him waver... um, good, I will watch it personally."

Soon he hung up the phone. Now what he needs to do is to let a child need a father, a wife need a husband, and let an old couple need their son! ===== CHAPTER 466 =====
