Blackstone Code

In the quiet interrogation room, the green-skinned man had his butt pulled down on the table. He held his hands in his arms, one foot in the air, one foot on the ground, looking at old Mr. Fox, "You can eat something first, and wait until you are full." Let’s talk again.”

Old Mr. Fox glanced at the other party, and then began to eat silently.

He chewed very carefully. His doctor told him that he was getting older. At the same time, when he was young, he was too hungry, skipped a meal, and had gastritis that was difficult to cure, so he shouldn't eat too hastily or too fast. It will make his stomach hurt when he sleeps at night.

He chewed slowly, and this was the first time he discovered that boiled chicken breast was not unpalatable, even if it had no taste. It was just boiled chicken breast, dry and woody, but in the mouth of a hungry person, Still a supreme delicacy.

After a meal that lasted for more than ten minutes, the green-skinned face watched him quietly as he finished the last bit of pureed vegetables and nodded.

"Now that you're full, should we talk about those things between us?"

"What do you think?"

Old Mr. Fox was sitting on a chair. He used the index finger and thumb of his right hand to clean his beard. He scraped both sides and scraped some meat scraps or food residues on his fingers, and then put them into his mouth.

Judging from these actions, he actually doesn't look like a rich person at all, because rich people never do such embarrassing actions. You ask them how to solve similar problems?

No, they most likely will not let those food residues fall anywhere other than their lips, let alone in such an important place as their beard.

After he finished doing this, he leaned back in his chair, lowered his head, and said nothing.

Passive confrontation actually doesn't mean much. As Green Skin Face said, federal legal procedures are very strict. Generally speaking, without enough evidence, law enforcement agencies can't even invite people back to the case handling site, let alone completely control it.

Silencing such a confrontation will only allow law enforcement to present the facts of the offender's confrontation to the judge in court, which will lead to a harsher sentence.

But old Mr. Fox doesn't care. After evading so much tax, he may never be able to get out again in this life, as Green-skinned Face said.

And he is more afraid of offending Lynch than not being able to get out in this life.

There was a guy who offended Lynch, Michael, even he was unwilling to offend someone too much. As a result, Lynch used legal means to throw that guy into prison. It is said that it is a heavy-duty prison that does not even use the special talent law.

Moreover, Lynch has so many and complicated relationships. If he is accused, it is very likely that he will be released in three to five years without even having to go to jail. At that time, who will bear his violent revenge?

Own?

Or his son Fox Jr.?

People like Michael with clean disciples can't withstand Lynch's scheme, and people like them with dirty butts can't even withstand Lynch's scheme.

And who knows if testifying against Lynch will be effective? If it is ineffective, he is really afraid that his whole family will disappear from the world.

So he remained silent. No matter what others said, he would not answer. When necessary, such as in court, he would plead guilty directly, but other than that, he would not say anything else.

The green-skinned face's brows were knit together, and he moved his butt off the table. He walked up to Mr. Fox in two steps, put one hand on the back of the chair behind him, bent over, lowered his head, and looked at Old Mr. Fox said in a not harsh but chilling tone, "You'd better cooperate. This is the state tax bureau."

This may not seem like a threatening statement, but in fact it is a statement full of threats. This shows what role the tax bureau plays in the entire federal society.

Old Mr. Fox still looked like that, sitting with his head down and not saying a word.

At this time, Qingpilian let go of his hand holding the back of the chair, stood up straight, and then took off his clothes.

First the coat, then the tie, and finally he unbuttoned his cuffs and rolled up his sleeves.

Then he punched old Mr. Fox in the stomach with great force. After all, he was an adult, in his thirties, at the peak of his physical fitness.

The huge force made the rubber bench fixed to the ground make a "dong" sound. Old Mr. Fox's body also trembled violently, then curled up, and he vomited.

All the food he had just eaten was vomited out by him. Green-skinned Face didn't give him much time to vomit, and punched him on the right side of his waist again. Mr. Fox's vomiting became more violent, and accompanied by With terrible pain.

It was a spasm. People who have never experienced that kind of pain can't imagine why there is such painful pain in this world. It hurts so much that people want to commit suicide.

The green-skinned man picked up the iron dinner plate and slapped old Mr. Fox hard on the head. The thin dinner plate quickly deformed and became uncomfortable.

He threw away the dinner plate, grabbed old Mr. Fox by his hair, pulled him out from between the chair and the table, kicked him in the thigh, and made old Mr. Fox fall to the ground.

What followed was a long beating that lasted for more than ten minutes.

Green Skin Face is very skilled in beating people. He knows how to inflict the most painful pain without causing serious injuries.

Whether this kind of thing happens to the police or those in the FBI, it is another torture scandal.

But when it is placed with the tax bureau, it becomes normal.

More than ten minutes later, the green-skinned man hammered the iron door while breathing heavily, and the staff outside the door immediately walked in.

Some of them began to clean up the mess, and several others began to examine the injuries of old Mr. Fox.

They are professional doctors who are responsible for conducting physical examinations on people after torture to ensure that these people will not die suddenly.

After receiving the diagnosis results of multiple soft tissue contusions and subcutaneous blood vessel tears through examination, the green-skinned face put on his clothes again and became gentle again.

The old Mr. Fox, who had been beaten with a bruised nose and face, was helped back to the chair. He twisted his neck and said with a half-smile, "I respect you very much, Mr. Fox. There are few people who keep secrets for others like you. You are A man worthy of respect."

"And I also want to try to make you more respectable. You'd better maintain this attitude!"

After he finished speaking, he quickly left. The moment he left the interrogation room and closed the door, his expression changed from unpleasant to serious.

During the beating process, Mr. Fox didn't beg for mercy, didn't cry out for pain, and didn't even make a loud sound. At most, he was greeted with very soft sounds like "uh" and "huh".

The green-skinned face knew how heavy the hand he hit was and how terrible the pain was, but the old man really didn't say anything.

What does this mean?

This means that things have become troublesome. It will be difficult for them to open the situation from the old Mr. Fox. In other words, they may not be able to find a reason to testify against Lynch, but they will also bring the old man, his family, and Lynch was offended.

Needless to say, when Lynch comes back, he will definitely know why the tax bureau arrested old Mr. Fox, and the few people who are the "vanguard" of this matter may be taken care of by Lynch.

He walked back and forth a few steps, then quickly returned to the office, communicated with the assistant director, and drove out of the parking lot with the two investigators. He was going to meet another person-Michael.

Before arresting old Mr. Fox, he had read the file on the entire incident. Michael, the leader of the investigation team of the Sabine City Taxation Bureau, should have known something, but he was sacrificed later.

His understanding of Lynch was more intuitive and emotional than the people here. The green-skinned face felt that he might be able to get some information from Michael.

At the same time, after a day, night and morning of journey, Lynch walked out of the Sabine City Station.

As soon as he came out, a young man who looked to be in his twenties or thirteen years old took the initiative to greet him, "Hello, Mr. Lynch, the mayor asked me to pick you up..."

Lynch said thank you, but did not get into the young man's car. Instead, he got into his own car and followed the young man's car.

The motorcade quickly disappeared into the traffic. More than ten minutes later, Lynch arrived at the city hall and met Ferrara in the mayor's office.

"You are a little fatter than when I saw you before." After the two briefly hugged, Lynch joked, "It seems that the mayor's salary is much higher than your previous salary."

Ferral also had a smile on his face. Lynch was a key figure for him to become the mayor, and the relationship between the two was more than just friends. He was also Lynch's consultant and received a salary every month. The extra income makes his life much better now than before.

After closing and locking the door, the two sat down.

"There's bad news. People from the state tax bureau took away old Fox yesterday, probably to the state bureau. That place is very troublesome, and I can't get any information."

Regardless of state governments or state-level agencies, in the federal rules and regulations, even if the law gives them the power to enforce laws, they must notify the lower-level agencies. This is also a process issue.

They rarely don't do that, and this time they arrested Old Mr. Fox. The state bureau directly told the local government that they needed Old Fox to help investigate a case, and the location of the assistance was not in Sabine City, so Ferral made this judgment.

Lynch frowned. He and Ferral briefly exchanged some unimportant things and then left. He originally thought that the local tax bureau was causing trouble for old Mr. Fox, but now it seems that this is not the case.

He didn't know the new director of the Sabin City Taxation Bureau, so he didn't think of asking for information from the Sabin City Taxation Bureau, but it wasn't without good news.

For his part, Lynch now has someone in the state Department of Revenue — Johnson.

Director Johnson has almost reached the "point". He has no strong connections with his superiors and has no room for further improvement. He can only make concessions to those young people with strong backing.

The tax system is tough on the outside, but good on the inside. They originally offered Director Johnson a job in the archives, but because he was so knowledgeable and interested in paving the way for the current director, he was transferred to a research office in the state tax bureau. Consulting researcher.

In fact, it is just to continue to enjoy some welfare benefits in a name, and when he reaches the age of retirement, he will be asked to get out.

Now, this line comes in handy.
