my wife is a consul

Chapter 141

Sofa, bed, a single room of about ten square meters, Jeff Stewart, lying on the bed and sleeping soundly.

Lu Ming watched from the small window on the door and shook his head.

Liu Teng was next to him, and his tone was a bit harsh: "This guy, I think, is reluctant to leave. He can eat and live without working, and the sky will fall."

"When he wakes up, notify me immediately. If I'm not here, you can come and record a statement, including, did he see the child from the Gao family? Did he really push Deng Bo into the water?"

Still need to investigate the matter of falling into the water?Liu Teng was slightly taken aback, then nodded, "I understand."

Lu Ming was about to turn around to leave, but suddenly he stopped and looked Liu Teng up and down: "What do you understand? Let me tell you, don't record blindly, just record what he says, don't guide his confession! Don't play such a clever thing. !"

Liu Teng smiled apologetically, "Yes, don't worry, Commissioner, how could I do that?" Just now, he realized that Commissioner Lu seemed to be keeping a close eye on Councilor Gao's son. , so what about high councilors?Then, to make a statement for this drunk man, you have to spend a lot of time and effort, and you have to come up with the result that Commissioner Lu wants. Of course, it is definitely not to ask him to make a false statement, but in terms of guidance, there is naturally a way.

But he didn't want to. Commissioner Lu saw through the warning, so he had to apologize and laugh to resolve the embarrassment.

Lu Ming took two steps, "There is no result yet for the forensic evidence?"

"I guess it will be tonight. I'll call again later."

Lu Ming nodded and walked towards the elevator entrance. Although there are three floors, this kind of office space naturally has elevators. Moreover, because the horizontal area is large and there are many areas, there are several elevators.

……

In the campaign office on the third floor, the campaign personnel were all wearing yellow vests. Most of them were young men and women, and there were many handsome men and beautiful women, who were very eye-catching. Most of the campaign veterans were fired by Lu Ming.

It was also Lu Ming's idea to unify the yellow vests with propaganda slogans printed on them.

Murong Xue was about to follow Lu Ming's instructions and lead the campaign officials to the 3rd district to shout slogans.

Seeing Lu Ming coming in, he rushed to greet him. The originally lively office immediately became extremely quiet.

"Tomorrow, a TV station will give me an exclusive interview. Xiaoxue, they will contact you later, and you can confirm the questions they will ask. In addition, add a question to them, so that they will take the initiative to mention that between the candidates on TV, The question in the debate asked whether it was possible for more voters to watch several candidates express their political views through TV programs, and to discuss this, not only on TV, but also on the radio. Well, after all, even in urban areas, less than half of the households have a TV set, and the proportion in Beiguan is even smaller."

Murong Xue nodded repeatedly as she quickly recorded in her notebook.

The campaign officials all looked at each other in blank dismay. The TV station must be willing to ask such a question.

If there are really congressmen running for televised debates, even if they are not in the constituency, or even people from other provinces or states, who is not new?Who wouldn't want to see it?The ratings must have exploded.

But the question is, who would want to have a TV debate directly with you, the boss?Isn't that courting death?

You are a player who can be forced to become a normal person even if you are mentally ill.

Lu Ming smiled at this moment: "Young people, take a long-term view, we are ushering in a great era."

In my previous life, the first televised debate of the presidential campaign of a major Western country was a few years later than my own, but this idea was only a few years later. From the perspective of technical conditions, it was something that could have been realized long ago.

The clerks immediately applauded. Anyway, what the boss said is always right.

A man suddenly appeared at the door, Liu Teng, who seemed to be running, panting, "Commissioner, the drunk is awake!"

Lu Ming nodded: "Keep busy!"

……

Stuart, who had been clamoring for wine, was now drinking carelessly with a bottle of champagne.

"It's tasteless..." Pa, the bottle was thrown aside, and the champagne water gushed out.

Lu Ming was entering the room, frowning slightly.

Assistant Prosecutor Xiao Zhao hurriedly took a mop, broom, etc. to clean up.

"Give him a cold shower to wake him up! Then, take him to my office." Lu Ming gestured, turned and left.

Immediately, several members of the action team rushed up, listening, Stuart screamed strangely.

Walking out of the room, Lu Ming coughed, thinking that the relationship between husband and wife would be difficult in the future.

After returning to the office, I looked at the files again. About half an hour later, several team members brought Stuart over. It seemed that he had not only rinsed, but also shaved his face and put on dry cloth clothes and trousers.

Ok?I am more energetic.

Looking at Stuart, Lu Ming smiled.

Stewart sat down on the sofa honestly, looked at the cigarettes on the coffee table, picked it up and lit one, but his hands were trembling, and he pressed the lighter a few times before it ignited. It looked like a sequela of alcoholism.

He looked at Lu Ming in a cloud of mist, "I heard that you are prosecutors, I want to see a lawyer, and I want to sue you for illegal detention and beating, or, you give me 50 yuan now, let's forget it!"

Lu Ming looked at him helplessly. What was it that turned the majestic and dignified father in Pan Mila's eyes into a rascal?

Prosecutor Xiao Zhao said to the assistant next to him: "Call the Legal Aid Office and tell them to send a lawyer."

Looking at Stuart again, "Mr. Stuart, you are now involved in a murder case..."

Before he finished speaking, Liu Teng knocked on the door and hurried in, whispered something in Lu Ming's ear, and handed Lu Ming a letter in his hand, but the result of the forensic proof had come, and the fax had already arrived.

Lu Ming looked at the fax paper, which clearly stated that the broken glass bottle that Stuart was holding was the weapon used to kill Aunt Zhao, the maid, and there were only Stuart's fingerprints on the glass bottle.

Liu Teng had already turned his head and said to Stuart: "I'm sorry, Mr. Stuart, you are now officially a suspect in the murder of Ms. Zhao Linghua from Beiguan, so you will be temporarily detained for 48 hours and accepted for our investigation."

"Who is Zhao Linghua? You are completely mistaken!" Stuart said with a nonchalant expression on his face.

Liu Teng snorted coldly: "Zhao Linghua is the maid of Gao Depei's family, Aunt Zhao who is in charge of the wine cellar! Do you have any impression now?! Are you stealing wine and being seen by Aunt Zhao, so you want to kill people?! "

"Impossible. It's not like I haven't stolen wine before. Aunt Zhao likes me very much. She doesn't care about it. She even secretly gave me wine!"

Stuart suddenly shut up, "I'm going to wait for the lawyer, I won't tell you anymore, you're going to wrong me!"

Lu Ming looked at him, pondered for a while, and suddenly said: "Mr. Stewart, I know your daughter, and I am very close, so, regarding your murder case, I will hand it over to the criminal police and other prosecutors. The relationship with you is limited to the re-investigation of the case of Dumbledore, and you are a potential witness."

This case is very complicated, and Stuart's brain is not very easy to use. If this rhythm continues, mistakes are likely to happen in the future.

In particular, if the case of his suspected murder is also led by the government.

In the end, in court, it may become one's greatest weakness.

Stuart sneered: "You lied to me again. I don't even know where that dead girl is. You know her? And you know she's my daughter? Ridiculous!"

Lu Ming nodded: "Anyway, it has nothing to do with me whether you killed or not. Now, tell me, what did you see when Deng Bo fell into the water?"

"I don't know!" Stuart shook his head.

Lu Ming looked at him: "Your daughter's name is Pamela, and her nickname is Paula, right?"

Stuart was startled and looked up in astonishment.

Lu Ming looked at him: "Don't you understand? You gave the testimony that Gao Yulong pushed someone into the water, and then, when we found you, you were in the wine cellar with Aunt Zhao's body next to you. Holding the murder weapon, if you really didn't kill him, I hope you think about it, what happened?"

Lu Ming waved his hand, "Take him to the detention room and let him think it through!"

Stuart frowned, and was taken away in a daze.

After glancing at Liu Teng from the side, Lu Ming said, "I only found out a few hours ago that he belongs to my good friend's father."

This is true.

Liu Teng laughed and said, "That's okay, why leave it to someone else to investigate?" According to the Federal Judicial Law and the Donghai Government's Moral Law, independent prosecutors only need to avoid suspicion of relatives and suspects with economic interests, etc. Of course, as long as someone you know is involved in the case, you must declare the interest relationship. The prosecutor decides whether to transfer it to other colleagues. If you accept it yourself, then if something goes wrong, the internal investigation department will naturally investigate the relevant case-handling procedures.

Generally speaking, if only acquaintances are involved in the case, it is less likely to be entrusted to others, because through knowing this relationship, sometimes it will play a miraculous effect in the process of handling the case.

Lu Ming smiled: "Leave it to them."

Liu Teng immediately understood that the commissioner and the drunk's daughter might not be as simple as good friends.

……

Seeing Hou Dexing rushing over, Lu Ming frowned.

The Beiguan Procuratorate Branch appointed him, and there was something wrong here.

Although the Prosecutor's Office is directly under the leadership of the Great Prosecutor's Office, it will also deal with the top figures in Beiguan after all.

"Commissioner Lu, what other testimony do you need from him? He must stay with you? I'm investigating a homicide case. When handling a case, there must be a priority!"

Hou Dexing was in a hurry and was about to take him away.

Lu Ming smiled: "I didn't stay here, I mean, you should just handle this case here, you investigate yours, I will take my testimony, without any delay, I have enough rooms here, you guys Isn't it just three people, you, and two criminal policemen."

"Commissioner Lu! You don't have to worry about where I handle the case!" Hou Dexing smiled, "In short, I am investigating a murder case. I must take the suspect away. Otherwise, I will call the Supreme Prosecutor's Office. Call, look at us, who is right?"

"Hou Jian, you..." Liu Teng narrowed his eyes. This guy is a bit arrogant. He's just a small prosecutor. I'm the deputy director of prosecution, and I'm still a member of Commissioner Lu's office, isn't he?
Lu Ming had already waved his hand, signaling for everyone else to go out.

Soon, there were only Lu Ming and Hou Dexing left in the spacious and luxurious office.

Lu Ming walked to the French windows, looking at the flat green lawn outside.

"Commissioner Lu, I really don't mean to be against you..." Hou Dexing looked very serious, "I'm also doing business."

But the flames dancing in his eyes, obviously, being able to refuse Lu Ming's request was very comfortable for him.

Lu Ming turned around to look at him, and smiled: "Hou Dexing, do you really think that in Kato's case, you tipped off Shan Jingfan, but I didn't find out? Deputy Chief Cheng didn't know what to do?"

"At that time, the strategy we agreed upon at the meeting was like a prophet, and we had already prepared it? In the court, we were passive at first, but Vice President Cheng and I had a secret plan, so we were able to reverse and win!"

"Do you think that no one knows what you did?!"

One sentence, like thunder in Hou Dexing's ears, made Hou Dexing dizzy, backed up a few steps with a pale face, and almost fell to the ground.

"However, Kato committed suicide in fear of crime, so the case is now known. I don't know what Cheng Jian thinks. It should be that the case has been settled and he doesn't want to make his family ugly? Or, you have always been good at flattering. Sister sent to Cheng Jian's bed?"

Hearing this, Hou Dexing turned paler and tried to explain something, but he couldn't speak.

Lu Ming sneered: "Anyway, I was fine at the time."

"Why, you thought that you had Cheng Jian as your backer, and now you're on a pier, and you're showing off in front of me?!"

Lu Ming smiled, and slowly sat behind the desk, picked up a cigarette, and lit one slowly, "Believe it or not, you will end up as Kato tomorrow? You go around talking about Cheng Jian's adultery with your sister, and What are some other nonsense things, what are you doing?"

"I, when did I say that?" Hou Dexing immediately understood Lu Ming's meaning, and his face immediately turned pale and terrifying.

If something that only you know spreads out, especially if it will affect that person's reputation and career, then I will definitely hang myself or throw myself into the river tomorrow. At least, from the perspective of outsiders, I may encounter some setbacks that I can't bear to think about, so suicide.

"You handle this case on a business-like basis, and I also handle it on a business-like basis. It's in my office. You do yours and I do mine. Do you agree?" Lu Ming stubbed out his cigarette.

Hou Dexing lost his mind, but nodded quickly and vigorously.

"Dog-like thing, get out!" Lu Ming suddenly felt extremely irritable.

Hou Dexing immediately rolled and crawled, and staggered to the front of the door. The moment the door was opened, he immediately stood up straight.

Lu Ming shook his head. There are many things that I just want to pretend that I don’t know. There is no perfect person in this world. Even those who have reached a certain status are not good men and women. They are just people with masks. In front of you, it may be to support you and take care of you. Your kind senior, of course, also gained his recognition and respect because of your ability, and he thinks that you have the value of supporting; but in front of other people, in front of the weak in his eyes, he may be another face, For example, an old pervert who uses power for personal gain?
Thinking about it, Lu Ming shook his head, turned around and slowly opened the floor-to-ceiling windows, breathing in the fresh air outside.

Suddenly, a classic saying came to mind.

Perhaps, this is life.
