my wife is a consul

Chapter 139 Stuart's Elegy

The vehicle drove for a while.

Lu Ming said to Murong Xue: "Get out of the car in a while, draft a memorandum to the Election Supervision Committee, list all Yang Guiren's companions, and report Yang Guiren's incident of giving moon cakes and gift certificates. The point is to declare that if Yang Guiren travels with Among the staff, those who will announce the election of the third district councilor in the future are bribing elections in disguise!"

Yang Guiren took Mrs. Jia there and introduced Mrs. Jia, but of course he did not say that Mrs. Jia would run for election.

But after ten or eight days, Mrs. Jia might find a reason. After visiting the people with the former congressman, she felt that she should do something for them, so she was going to run for a congressman.

It's also a good idea.

Murong Xue was stunned for a moment when she heard Lu Ming's words, and then she pursed her lips and smiled lightly.

……

In fact, the location of the military academy has already been selected. It is a third-rate university in Xinfa District that has been relocated to a satellite town.

When Lu Ming first proposed the Public Security Armed Guard, he did not expect that Neville's middle school would be a big hit.

This armed force has 1500 approved military and police personnel. However, more than two-thirds of them will be adapted from some anti-riot agencies of the patrol police. Only a few hundred reserve soldiers will be recruited into the active duty of this military and police force.

In the Donghai metropolitan area, there are more than 2 patrolmen, but now only a thousand or so have been reorganized into the armed guard, and the impact is minimal.

After obtaining the approval of the parliament to formally establish the military academy, these 1500 people will all enter the new military academy to receive professional education for new positions.
Of course, this is a short-term training course, only three months, and then next summer, this military academy will recruit students from the whole society. Candidates who have graduated from high school can apply for the exam. The security armed forces, and the rest can enter positions such as patrol police and security companies.

Now there are more than a dozen instructors, most of them are Westerners. In the navy restaurant, Lu Ming met with them, ate and drank. After discussing for three or four hours, Lu Ming received a phone call, said goodbye and left, and everyone also left.

……

On the second floor of the South District of Liberty Building, the Office of the Special Counsel of the Great Prosecutor's Office.

Lu Ming flipped through the report material in his hand.

In the extremely spacious office, there are all kinds of tables and chairs in Western aristocratic style. On Lu Ming's large desk, there is also a quill pen inserted in an ink bottle, which is very suitable for the occasion.

The huge floor-to-ceiling windows hung with curtains, and the warm sunset shines in a layer of golden afterglow, making the office even more luxurious.

It's not that Lu Ming likes the western style, but when it comes to the office, I really feel that the style of the old western aristocrats is more stylish.

The report material in Lu Ming's hand is to report that Hou Dexing, the prosecutor of Beiguan, bent the law for personal gain and forcibly pushed the son of Gao Depei, a high-ranking member of Beiguan, into the water as an accidental death.

The report material was sent by someone from Cheng Lingyu. Hou Dexing has successfully passed the investigation of the internal investigation department. From the perspective of relevant procedures, he has not violated any regulations.

As for this case, the Supreme Prosecutor's Office did not make an in-depth investigation to reach a conclusion. Cheng Lingyu simply transferred the corresponding materials to Lu Ming.

Lu Ming understood that Cheng Lingyu naturally felt that it might be useful for his campaign, and how to deal with it was up to him.

The call received in the Navy restaurant was from Cheng Lingyu, and at the same time, he sent someone to deliver all the files.

The investigation materials of Hou Dexing and the police on the case are also included.

The deceased was the gardener of Mr. Gao Depei's family. He was over 70 years old.

In the investigation materials, there is a forensic report that the old man died by drowning, but because there were many old wounds from beatings on his body and new wounds on his head, it was investigated as an abnormal death, and a servant started the confession that Gao Depei's youngest son would If the old man fell into the water, the police transferred the relevant evidence to the prosecution, and the Beiguan Procuratorate Branch sent Hou Dexing to follow up the case.

But later investigations found that the new wound on the old man's head coincided with the joint of the drain pipe in the swimming pool. It was believed that the old man's head hit the drain pipe after he slipped into the pool and struggled.

As for the many old beating injuries on his body, it proved that the old man's son had abused the old man for a long time.

More importantly, Councilor Gao Depei's son is only nine years old. He is a model student of Windsor College with excellent character and learning. He has character guarantee letters written by many teachers including the principal. It is impossible for him to commit cruel acts of pushing people into the water.

It was originally said that Gao Depei's son was the servant who pushed him into the water, but it turned out that he was a drunkard who was drunk all day.

Gao Depei is really the youngest son. He is over 60 years old, and he has great expectations for this son. He never dotes on him, but disciplines him strictly. Many of his relatives and friends know how strict he is with his son, and they also know How good this kid is.

Lu Ming slowly turned to the last page, thought for a while, and said, "Minister Liu, take it and show it to everyone. After an hour, bring the summary opinion to me."

Liu Teng, who was sitting on a sofa chair next to his buttocks, hurriedly got up, took these materials, and left.

Liu Teng was the leader of Team 2 of the Original Action Office and the deputy director of prosecution.

In Lu Ming's independent bureau, he is also the head of several prosecutors and assistant prosecutors, so he can be regarded as the head of the independent bureau.

Seeing Liu Teng closing his office door with a poignant smile, Lu Ming got up and stood in front of the French window, thinking about the case.

Coincidentally, Gao Depei is also a member of the Justice Party and the leader of the party.

At the same time, he is also the deputy speaker of the Beiguan Council.

His prestige is very high, but every time there is a general election, he is just a little short of joining the seven-member committee.

This year, Qing Lao retired, and he was the one who called out the loudest outside.

In fact, the Justice Party is powerful, but because it is a local political party in Beiguan and not a branch of the big parties in Donghai City, it always lacks a little bit of luck, or in other words, it lacks support from the upper class.

Otherwise, Gao Depei would have no problem joining the Committee of Seven.

But now, Mrs. Jia, the representative of the Baqueluo family, and Yang Guiren, a member of the Justice Party, went to the third district together.

Yang Guiren gave up the third district election.

All of this, is it true that the Baqueluo family has reached some kind of tacit agreement with the Justice Party?

After repeated battles and defeats, Gao Depei finally gave up the blood of the local party and sought the support of the Baclow family, because this time is his best chance to join the Committee of Seven. If he fails to seize the last chance, there will be basically no Here's the chance.

The Baklow family supported him to join the Committee of Seven. Similarly, the Justice Party would also become an alliance party, or even a puppet party, of the Baklow family's "Free Citizens Movement".

If this is the case, you should think about the possible changes during the period.

……

In less than half an hour, Liu Teng came in with a smile and said that everyone's opinions were not unified. Some believed that an in-depth investigation was necessary, while others believed that the original investigation results were reasonable based on the files, and there was no need to waste time on a new investigation.

Lu Ming had no choice but to bring a bunch of crooked melons and cracked dates, and that's it. I guess there was not much discussion. Everyone's opinions were the kind of people who listened to the commissioner. Liu Teng created a heated discussion, but in the end it was still There are two opinions, so listen to your commissioner.

"Minister Liu, do you think it is necessary to continue the investigation?" Lu Ming looked at him.

Liu Teng immediately had a bitter face, but rolled his eyes, and said, "I think it should be investigated. I personally feel that this case is very suspicious." Obviously, it was a bet that Commissioner Lu's time was precious, and it was impossible to spend all this time on On a case not worth investigating.

Hearing that he claimed to be a low-ranking official, although it was not the first time, Lu Ming still had a strange feeling in his heart.

This is what the subordinates of the old bureaucracy called themselves. Since the establishment of the Grand Prosecutor's Office, the prosecutors should not have this term.

Moreover, it is those old bureaucratic institutions now, and there are very few self-proclaimed ones, but it is still very common in the north.

Picking up the teacup and taking a sip of water, Lu Ming nodded: "Okay, it's up to you, you take someone to Gao Depei's house, and talk to the witnesses who made the transcripts again, see if there are any new discoveries, or There is this Gao..." Looking at the name of Gao Depei's son on the file, "This Gao Yulong, you bring it back and ask questions."

ah?Liu Teng was a little dumbfounded.

Seeing Lu Ming frown, he immediately stood at attention, "Yes!"

He is not from Beiguan himself, and the procuratorial system has its own system, so it doesn't matter to him whether he is a member or not.

Because this is not his official office, he is sent up and down, and he just listens to the chief. No matter how big the thunder is, the chief will bear it.

Since Commissioner Lu really wants to investigate, then just investigate.

After Liu Teng went out, soon there were loud footsteps outside.

Then, more than a dozen people in the prosecutor's uniform and the black uniform of the operation team ran out of the Liberty Building and went to the parking lot, and several cars drove out quickly.

Lu Ming stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows and watched, not knowing what he was thinking about.

……

More than half an hour later, the phone on the desk rang.

Lu Ming picked it up.

A loud voice came from the receiver, "Commissioner Lu? I'm Gao Depei! Haha, I've heard your name for a long time, and I've always wanted to ask you to chat."

Lu Ming smiled: "Speaker Gao, I've looked up to you for a long time. It's my fault. I should have paid a visit long ago, but the status is very different, so I dare not disturb you rashly."

"Commissioner Lu is too polite." Gao Depei smiled, "Is there any problem with the accidental death of my domestic servant? Do you want Commissioner Lu to send someone to my house to investigate?"

"It's just following the rules!" Lu Ming smiled: "You should know that the prosecutor Hou Dexing who handled the case before was investigated internally. As for me, let's look at this case according to the rules. Don't be sensitive. If there is no problem , that is, go through the motions.”

"Hou Dexing? It's not a misunderstanding. The internal investigation has ended, have you given a conclusion?" Gao Depei's tone was a little suspicious.

Lu Ming smiled: "It seems that Speaker Gao is very concerned about this case!"

"Of course, Uncle Wang has served my family diligently for more than 30 years, and I am also very saddened by his death!" Gao Depei sighed deeply, "I don't know where the rumors came from, saying that the nine-year-old dog was the one who caused the accident. Or, this is even more infuriating!"

Lu Ming nodded: "Speaker Gao, don't worry, those who clean themselves will be cleared, it doesn't matter."

"Okay, Commissioner Lu, I'm definitely not interfering with your handling of the case, I'm just feeling depressed, complaining to you, telling your people, what to do!"

"Okay, sorry to bother Speaker Gao!" Lu Ming smiled.

……

In the evening, Liu Teng led the team back and did not bring back Gao Yulong, Gao Depei's youngest son, but brought back a drunken Western alcoholic.

The Western alcoholic vomited all over the floor as soon as he got out of the car.

Brought to the interrogation room in the South District, he vomited again, and then fell asleep on the floor of the interrogation room.

Looking at the mess inside from the interrogation room, and Assistant Prosecutors Xiao Zhao and Xiao Zhang who are busy cleaning.

Lu Ming frowned, "What's going on?"

Liu Teng smiled bitterly: "Commissioner, this is the witness who testified for the first time that it was the son of Councilor Gao who pushed the old gardener into the water. Unexpectedly, he was a drunkard, and he was a Westerner. Councilor Gao's family was really rich. There are Western servants. However, this looks like a Western tramp, holding a wine bottle every day, and doing nothing, so Councilor Gao's family is willing to support him, but this guy, drunk, goes crazy and talks nonsense every day Ba Dao, the servants of the Gao family all say so."

Lu Ming nodded, and thought that no matter what, this Liu Teng was quite clever. Although this fellow was a drunkard, if he brought him back and asked, he might find something.

"When he sobers up, you can ask him when it's over to see if he drank too much and talked nonsense that day, or there is something wrong with it." Lu Ming wanted to go back to the office.

"Commissioner, this guy killed someone, that's why I brought it back." Liu Teng smiled wryly.

"Huh?" Lu Ming turned around immediately, frowning.

"Because his initial confession said that Mr. Gao pushed people into the water, so I must be the first to see him to take the confession, but at first no one could find him. Finally, a servant screamed and found him in the wine cellar. At that time, he was sleeping soundly, the wine bottle was broken on the ground, and the ground was full of red wine, and the body of the maid who often cleaned the wine cellar was beside him, the body was cold and clammy It's hard, and it certainly didn't die after we went.

Liu Teng paused for a moment, then pouted into the interrogation room, "This guy was holding a broken wine bottle in his hand. There might be blood on it, but I couldn't tell it was mixed with red wine. So, I put him first. Bring it back, and keep people there to watch it, and notify the forensic doctor and criminal police.”

Lu Ming looked at the homeless man in the interrogation room. At this time, someone mopped the floor and pulled him up to sit against the wall. He looked unshaven and weather-beaten, but his actual age might not be that old. Just over 40 years old.

"Commissioner, you may not believe it. When this person came to Gao's house last year, he called himself Stuart, and his name was Waffle Stewart! I don't know if it's true or not. If we want to talk about it 200 years ago, Donghai seems to have a surname of Stuart. It's a great nobleman."

Stewart?Lu Ming was startled, looked at the homeless man carefully, and gestured again, "Go and wash his face, and lift up his face to show me." I had long thought that this strong and beautiful nose was very similar to Pan Mi's. The nose shape of La and Bisi is also the reason why he looks young even though he is extremely down-to-earth.

But won't it?A few days ago, Pamela was talking about how she had anonymously sent a sum of money to her mother a few months ago, but she still didn't have the courage to meet her mother.

The bum?Could it be Pamela's relative?even father?
