Blackstone Code

"It's...unbelievable!"

In the office of the Second Executive Office of the Imperial City Branch of the Gaevra Empire's Internal Security Department, Lynch looked at some materials in his hand in disbelief.

His expression did show enough sorrow and surprise, like... no, it was real.

This is the truest thought in his heart at this time.

He put some materials back on the table, then crossed his legs and lit a cigarette.

Many times when Lynch smokes, he does not need to supplement nicotine to promote dopamine secretion. What he needs is just a small prop that can divert other people's attention anytime and anywhere.

A cigarette, a pen, and a pair of nail clippers will all do, but compared to the latter two, people will be less wary of cigarettes and they are easier to use.

It's amazing to say that most people don't pay much attention to the cigarette in the hand of the person sitting across from them. Many times they ignore this thing during the communication process.

But if cigarette ash falls on the ground, or falls on a document, or is extinguished by the holder in an ashtray... people's attention will be inexplicably diverted, even if it only takes a second or two.

But it really shifts, people will think "This bastard left his cigarette ashes on my stall" and the latter "Didn't he know to pay attention to the fact that his cigarette ashes are already very long?" and finally "He finally ended it, I’ve almost had enough.”

These little tricks can sometimes play a very important role. When people's attention is distracted, they will have an almost instinctive stress reaction.

Everyone has this reaction, but some people will be suppressed by reason after training. Only when they are distracted will the instinct regain its peak.

At the same time, people's thinking, or an idea, does not come into existence immediately. There will be a process, and this process will be interrupted.

Sometimes a mother walks towards her child while saying something, but because the child asked her to repeat something, she instantly forgets what she just said and what she is going to do.

These small actions can also play a role, as long as you seize the opportunity.

"You don't mind?" Lynch raised the cigarette in his hand, and the prosecutor of the Ministry of Internal Affairs sitting across the desk shook his head.

The prosecutor of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is a special position, just like the Security Council. The focus of his work is to detect cases that threaten national security, but these cases are limited to domestic cases and involve government employees and nobles.

If there are no government workers or nobles involved in the case, then the Seventh Police Force will be responsible. Some people call them the "emperor's lackeys."

Sometimes the Gaevra people feel as if their brains have been kicked by a donkey. They respect and love their emperor very much, but sometimes they act very mean. These two behaviors are often combined, which is why Gaevra One of the cultural characteristics.

"Baron Lynch, do you know this Mr. Richard?", the prosecutor of the Ministry of Internal Affairs' expression was very normal, without any visible change of seriousness, just like there was no expression on his face when he just got up. You can't see his inner emotional changes.

Lynch nodded, he picked up the information on the desktop and took another look, "Richard used to be one of my partners, but then because of us...", he shook his head as he said, "... Due to some conceptual disagreements, we stopped working together.”

"You don't think I did it, do you?" Lynch said and laughed. The laughter was hearty and not nervous at all.

This performance made prosecutors realize that if Lynch really did this, they would face a formidable opponent. At least Lynch now behaves like a professionally trained person. From his facial muscles No flaws can be found in the subtle changes in his eyes, his pupils, and some of his small body movements.

This can only mean that either he didn't do it, or he planned it carefully.

This also made the prosecutor a little confused. He had read Lynch's information and found that he was not a federal espionage agent who had received any professional training. His trajectory was too detailed.

So detailed that anyone who works in espionage knows there can't be a problem!

This is like Lynch's information containing Lynch's resume at every step of his life, such as the middle school he attended and the class he attended.

If you want to check this person, you can find his classmates' parents through the school, ask them if they have any impression of Lynch and show them multiple photos to confirm Lynch's identity.

By controlling the time period and asking some questions to some people, we can find out whether Lynch has been in contact with certain institutions or whether he has been "missing" for a period of time.

Generally speaking, the identity information of intelligence personnel is said to be forged, but in fact it is still a bit vague. It is not as detailed as Lynch's information.

But little did he know that in another world, Lynch had undergone the most stringent interrogation system and withstood more than a dozen measures. To him, such an intense interrogation was no more than a chat.

The prosecutor regained his attention. He took out a few photos and placed them on the table. "After you came to the Empire, you had many contacts with Richard. What did you talk about?"

Lynch glanced at the several photos on the table. They were very clear and at a good angle, ensuring that Lynch was basically facing the camera and had enough space to identify his facial features.

These photos were taken of him and Richard by the way.

"As I said, he and I ended our cooperative relationship in the Federation due to some differences. I met him when I came here to receive the seal, and we just had a chat."

"You don't think that I'm the kind of person who always expects that my partners will not be as good as me, or that they may go bankrupt at any time, right?"

He had a smile on his clean face that made it easy for people to believe him, "I just heard that his company is going to be listed. Congratulations on his success."

The prosecutor looked at Lynch, and after reconfirming that these questions were worthless, he tried to make the inquiry more aggressive, "We found a letter in Mr. Richard's coat pocket, and you want to know what it said What?"

Lynch nodded, "I'm curious."

"Don't you want to see it?" the prosecutor asked quickly, giving Lynch less time to think.

But this little trick...

Lynch's response was also prompt, "Can you show me this important piece of evidence?"

Prosecutor: "Or do you actually already know what is written on the letter?"

Lynch laughed again, "You shouldn't be a prosecutor. Maybe a wizard or a psychic is more suitable for you."

Neither of them avoided the other's gaze and looked at each other. Suddenly, the prosecutor's gaze was pulled away by the cigarette ashes that fell on the table. In less than half a second, the two men's gazes were separated. Touch it again.

It was tricky, and it also made prosecutors always feel that there might be something wrong with Lynch.

He frowned when he came back to his senses. Lynch was an imperial noble. Although the Ministry of Internal Affairs was a security agency targeting these nobles and officials, they could not take measures against the nobles without concrete evidence.

Otherwise, once the group of nobles in the Privy Council get into trouble, even His Majesty the Emperor will eventually give in.

The seemingly brief confrontation gave the prosecutor some ideas. He originally wanted to ask a few more intense questions, but thinking about it now, it was not time yet.

"Baron Lynch, this case involves national security. You cannot leave the empire until the case is solved. I hope you can forgive me."

"If I need anything later, I will contact you. Of course, if you have any clues or find anything valuable, you can call me."

The prosecutor handed over a business card, and Lynch casually put out the cigarette butt in the ashtray. He kept the business card properly, or so it seemed.

"So?" Lynch started with a tone that suggested it was time to end.

In fact, the prosecutor does not want to end this inquiry immediately. The three days after the case occurs are the prime time period for investigation. If this period is missed, if the criminal who committed the crime is not caught, some evidence will lose its value and the criminal will Psychological and other factors will also become more stable.

But being interrupted twice made the prosecutor realize that there was little value in continuing, so he stood up and walked Lynch to the door, "Thank you for your cooperation, Baron Lynch. I'm sorry for wasting your personal time." , I’m very sorry.”

The smile on Lynch's face remained. He held the prosecutor's hand and shook it slightly. "Although I am not a citizen of the empire, I still respect the laws of the empire and the security of the country. If there is anything needed, I will cooperate." If so, just give me a call."

"You must know my phone number!" There is a little bit of sarcasm in this sentence, but it is not strong.

Lynch did not give the prosecutor his business card, nor did he give him his phone number, but both parties knew that what Lynch said was correct.

The prosecutor nodded and released his hand.

Looking at Lynch's leaving figure, the prosecutor always believed that Lynch was related to this case no matter what!

Richard's death triggered huge turmoil. After the listing, the scale of financing capital was close to 600 million, and the fifth phase of gold certificates was still on sale.

Now that it has been revealed that Yuanrong Capital is suspected of data fraud, it may be a high-end scam, and the news that the largest share holder is suspected of committing suicide out of fear of crime has spread, the whole country has been shocked.

The Imperial Capital has already started a march to fight for its own rights, hoping that the Empire can first pay the money in Yuan Rong's capital account to the buyers of the fifth phase of gold certificates.

But buyers of other gold coupons didn't seem to agree. People from all over the country gathered in the imperial capital.

This big case not only shocked the entire empire, but even the whole world.

The next day, the "Federal Times" reported this news. Together with the money that evaporated from the stock market, Round Capital created a capital black hole of more than one billion (Federal Soles).

The federal government has only approved 700 million for the second phase of submarine military expenditure...
