America started its counterattack from the bum

Chapter 427: Feast of Wolves 5——Black Satan, Part

“Jia, you know the identities of those who made the promise to you, and their leader is no longer able to control the LAPD.

The so-called bail you out is just a lie they made up for you. Now Sheriff Lake has personally inquired about your case and he takes it very seriously. "

LAPD Senior Inspector Burns stood outside the interrogation room separated by one-way glass, holding a cup of coffee, and calmly watched the movements in the interrogation room.

He has seen many wealthy suspects like Accountant Jia.

Many wealthy people always think that their money can buy everything, but they forget that there are more than just one or two rich people in America.

The most that most so-called wealthy people can do is to create trouble for the prosecution during the trial and use their lawyers to challenge the patience of the judges and prosecutors. There is not much else they can do.

Isn’t it just that there are two stinky money?

This is America, there are a lot of rich people here. Will LAPD give convenience to every rich person?

But Burns understood that Lao Jia was not an ordinary person. His business was being watched by the commander-in-chief and was protected by Gru's people. The governor of California who supported him was also involved. It was a big problem.

In the police system alone, there was a fight surrounding him between the former sheriff's forces and the new sheriff who was parachuted in.

As someone who has already chosen a side, Burns needs to get a "favorable" confession from Jax in prison to intimidate Jax and others.

Yes, it was just a deterrent. Lake didn't dare to take action, and Burns didn't dare even more.

Lake has already controlled the financial power, and what he wants now is to steadily shift the center of power to himself.

"I don't understand what you're saying, my lawyer is on the way!"

Lao Jia didn't know how many times he had repeated this sentence. His lawyer had come many times, but the lawyer was also an outsider.

The key does not lie with the LAPD. In this game, the power struggle at the LAPD level belongs to the smallest interest unit. More pressure lies in the evolution of the power structure within California.

Seeing that Lao Jia didn't say anything, Burns drank the bitter coffee and spoke into the microphone with a calm expression.

"Tell him that our cells here are full again, and he may need to share a temporary cell with other suspects."

In the interrogation room, Lao Jia recalled the experience of being stabbed. He had been stabbed for two days in a row.

The police officers' attitude was clear: if he still did not cooperate today, he would be pampered by the black man again tonight.

This is all Burns can do within the scope of his power. If he goes any further, he will get into trouble.

Lao Jia smiled silently and said nothing more.

He was waiting. He didn't believe that he would become an abandoned person, nor did he want to become an abandoned person.

Burns cursed helplessly as he angrily crumpled the paper coffee cup into a ball.

The men took the jailer back to the cell, and Burns quickly rushed to Sheriff Lake to report the latest situation.

"He still won't speak?"

Regarding the current complicated situation, Lake is also very concerned. He hopes to get some evidence on both the white and black gangs from Lao Jia, so as to gain more bargaining chips in the power struggle.

But now, under the background that his boss Garcetti wants to maintain overall stability, his little tricks have become his handle.

"Mr. Lake, it's not that bad," another person spoke up.

Burns handed over a confession with some bitterness. He was not sure what Lake's mental state would be after reading it.

The anxious sheriff did not notice the bitter expression of his men and he took the confession excitedly.

Then, the more I looked at his expression, the weirder it became.

After a long while, after reading the confession twice, Lake looked up and asked nervously:

"Are you sure he's in good spirits?"

Sun Zhouye's mental state is of course normal. He does not have as strong a heart as Lao Jia, so it is a natural result for him to become a breakthrough point.

However, this breakthrough was definitely not what Lake expected.

"Very normal. I have seen too many prisoners and suspects. My experience tells me that he is very normal."

Burns added in a low voice.

"If you don't like this confession, I can make it disappear."

For these two senior officials in the police system, Freemasonry and the like are still too terrifying.

If this Freemasonry is as special as those outrageous stories make it out to be, their current investigation would be foolish.

Who would jump into a fire pit?
Lake hesitated. He now had four choices.

Believe the confession, suppress the matter, follow the instructions of your boss Garcetti, and be "united" - maybe Garcetti already knew everything, so he wanted "unity"?

Believe the confession and tip it off to Garcetti.

Don't believe the confessions, but terminate the investigation and let this mess go back into NITA's hands.

Not believing the confession, continuing the investigation, becoming a lone warrior who walks the minefield - this is an option that no one with any brains would choose.

"Stop interrogating them first and wait for my news. Do you understand?"

Lake chose the second one.

If there were no Freemasons, it would be a good idea to report to Garcetti.

If there is a Freemasonry, then Garcetti may have become part of that network of interests.

Well, I, LAPD Sergeant Lake, also want to improve.
-
"How can it be!"

In the mayor's office, Garcetti put down Sun Zhouye's confession in disbelief.

"Are you crazy or is he crazy? Why do you believe such fabricated rumors? America has no depth."

There's none?
Garcetti's soul connected to his brain and he thought of a lot of things in an instant.

The BEC incident involves a lot of people. The Commander-in-Chief specifically requests an investigation. Niu Sen and Temir are both playing dumb, and Gru's dog is moving around a lot and making lots of small moves.

Niu Sen is the core figure of the California Gang, Temir is the new leader of the California Elephant Party who comes from a wealthy family of the Elephant Party establishment, and the President is the representative of the MAGA faction, the strongest political force in the United States.

BEC coin has the largest ICO scale in the history of cryptocurrency, and Niu Sen has also personally supported it - Yusuf, deputy director of NITA who came to Saint-Lodu to guide the work, is suspected to be Niu Sen's man.

Temir's New Time has a share in BEC and has even invested in the trading platform behind it.

Will has even promoted the LCE cryptocurrency trading platform among certain powerful circles in California.

"Mr. Garcetti? Mr. Garcetti?"

Lake noticed the mayor's daze and shouted nervously.

Because of some inexplicable guilt, the sheriff spoke in a low voice, as if he was afraid of being heard.

"Oh, Lake, accompany me to see someone. How did you get this confession?"

Lake said uneasily.

"Uh, legal means, completely legal, who are we going to see?"

The mayor nodded to those who greeted him and pressed the elevator button to go downstairs.

His secretary ran over and seemed to want to keep up with the mayor, but was stopped by the mayor with his hand.

There was no time to dwell on the secretary's sadness; Garcetti lowered his voice and squeezed out a few words.

"The 44th Supreme Commander of the United States, Barak Lucian."

There were a few people waiting for the elevator, but since they were all workers, they naturally would not compete with the big boss for the elevator, so in the end, only Lake and Garcetti squeezed into the elevator.

"Former commander-in-chief?"

Lake exclaimed in a low voice.

"Well, it's your fault that you got me into so much trouble, Lake. Don't make that expression. I was just joking." Garcetti understood humor. Even at this time, he was still in the mood to make a joke.
-
When the President of the United States leaves office it does not mean he has lost power.

There is a very serious fact that no matter how long they have retired, as long as they are still alive, they will always have their supporters in the political arena.

Factions never emerge out of thin air.

Once these former imperial leaders take that position, new factions will form around them and last for a long time.

However, this faction does not necessarily have strict definitions, clear and distinct boundaries, and is often extremely vague.

Garcetti had a good relationship with the 44th president.

On the one hand, after leaving office, the President bought a property in Saint-Lo and often came here for vacation, and Garcetti visited him many times.

On the other hand, Garcetti comes from the intelligence system - which conflicts with Lucian's political power.

Therefore, Garcetti is a representative of the San Lorenzo local faction, who inherited the political influence of the faction as a son-in-law, and he is also a bit like a lackey of the former president.

Of course, the mayor doesn't mind having so many labels on himself.

So what if I became a disciple of Black Satan?
How many people want to kneel, but there is no way to do so!
Lake asked uneasily as he followed Garcetti into the car.

"If he really is a Freemason, what should we do?"

The mayor gave him a look of disdain.

"It can't be, this confession is obviously made up by him, I just want to use this incident to ask Mr. Barak what to do.

The President wants to investigate BEC, and we can’t help him investigate, but we can’t ignore the facts and protect BEC, which is troublesome.”

It felt like there was a biogas digester fermenting in Lake's brain, and he felt dizzy.

He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong.

"Garcetti, don't tell me you're after my bottles of wine."

Barak welcomed the arrival of the mayor of Saint-Lô.

Mr. Barak is only ten years older than Garcetti. Since the Black Satan always likes to label himself as 'young', he pays great attention to maintenance.

So, when the two stood together, Garcetti actually looked older than the retired president.

"Haha, I came here for a party the day before yesterday, and today I came for help. Mr. Barak, can we go in and talk?"

Black Satan's eyes narrowed, he smiled, patted Lake's shoulder, and took the two of them to his office.

After sitting back in the office chair behind the desk, the first thing Barak did was to turn on a button under the table.

Now, no one can record.

Then, he spoke with a slight smile and calm eyes.

"Sit down first, and talk slowly."

I'm glad you thought of me when you were in trouble.

But whether I can help you or not is another matter.

After all, Garcetti is not his die-hard fan, not even a fringe supporter. The only thing the two have in common is that they both come from the American intelligence system.

However, Ballack is in a biological sense, while Garcetti is in a professional sense.

"Mr. Barak, recently..."

Lake is a prominent LAPD sheriff and a high-ranking official outside, but in Barack's house, he turned into a good boy, quietly listening to Garcetti's description of the many controversies surrounding BEC.

"., you can take a look at this confession."

Black Satan took the document and read it in silence.

Cold sweat broke out on Lake's forehead. This certainly had nothing to do with the incident of taking the confession away from the police station in violation of regulations.

Not to mention a confession, even the most confidential document must be obtained.

It doesn't matter whether you put it in the garage or the bathroom - America has its own national conditions.

"Freemasonry, hahaha, interesting."

Barak threw the documents on the table, put his hands in front of him, and looked at Garcetti.

"So, what do you want help with?"

The President, the California Gang, the California Elephant Party, cryptocurrencies, and the suspicion of a sharp drop in prices. Garcetti told him a complicated story, but the only thing he heard was "this is a difficult thing to do."

No matter what you want to do, it's very difficult.

Although he did not accomplish anything beneficial to the country during his tenure, the Black Satan at least held a part of the highest power in the United States. He put enormous pressure on Garcetti with just a simple question.

"Mr. Barak, do Freemasons really exist?"

Lake was also very curious about this. They were already high-ranking officials in the United States, but they had never come into contact with such a mysterious organization.

Are we not tall enough?
"Of course it exists, a society, nothing special - maybe special in conspiracy theorists' stories.

At least in my eight years of experience in government, I have never encountered anyone from this organization."

Barak explained with a smile as he picked up the document again.

"As for this confession, I guess the police officer used special means to force people to say nonsense. In desperation, he thought of this kind of organization that only exists in conspiracy theories."

Hearing this, Garcetti sighed with some self-mockery, and the tension in his heart relaxed.

No one is a god who transcends himself. Even though he holds a high position of power, he is afraid that he will not be at the table.

Now, that fear can be put aside.

“What do you think about the BEC incident?”

Barak said helplessly.

"Garcetti, to be honest, I haven't paid attention to this matter before. I just knew there was such a thing."

As he spoke, he took out his mobile phone and searched for BEC on Google.

In the eyes of the peasants, the emperor should at least use a golden hoe to plow the land and eat white flour buns.

But the fact is that Barack is the first American president to use social media to help with election campaigns, and he is quite familiar with the Internet.

Therefore, he not only uses Google, but also other major social platforms - and he is very active.

"However, it seems to have just experienced a surge, which is not quite what you said."

Black Satan looked at the graph on his phone with some envy. The glaring green color corresponded to the increase that almost doubled from the low point.

This is Mr. Cheng's sincerity to Niu Sen, but at the same time, it is also Mr. Cheng's market proof of the effectiveness of the value of BEC coin - using a lot of money to turn BEC into a cryptocurrency that can be recognized by people.

Garcetti took out his cell phone in surprise and quickly confirmed the situation.

Black Satan smiled, his eyes full of thought.

He looked at Lake and said.

"You go out first. I have something to discuss with the mayor."

Lake did not feel humiliated. He quickly stood up, stood there for a second, and then left Black Satan's office.

During that second of standing there in a daze, Sheriff Lake was actually thinking that he could take this opportunity to show his loyalty to Black Satan.

But Garcetti was his benefactor and was sitting right next to him.

So, he had no choice but to give up this opportunity.
