Chapter 661 Nobody Let Me Do Multiple Choice Questions (First Update!)

Again.

In the Federation, when something happens, the first thing to do is not to stop the loss in time, but to find someone who can take the blame in time, and try not to pin the blame on yourself as much as possible.

This time is no exception.

but……

Beckett frowned: "Why did the mayor suddenly..."

After all, the Peerless Assassin didn't just appear today.

The Peerless Assassin has been famous for a long time.

George put away his mobile phone and looked at Beckett: "What's so confusing about this, this time, I've offended their aorta."

In a word.

In the past, Wushuang Assassin's killings were considered killings, but they were killing people who could be ignored by some people, so those people could turn a blind eye.

But this time?
Cut down to someone who can really call the shots.

This is not.

Even though the Peerless Assassin's notice had just come down, the group of people who really made the decisions already felt the same way. Who made Arthur Case one of them?

It could be Arthur Case today, and it could be him tomorrow.

obviously.

People who have this idea think that they are guilty, but the law cannot judge them. After all, the laws and rules are made by them.

But right now, someone has rewritten a set of laws and rules, and this law and rules can judge them.

Can they not panic?
The most important thing.

They couldn't show it yet, what if they danced too happily and were noticed by the Peerless Assassin, so this group of people chose to support Arthur Case silently behind their backs.

On the surface, it seems that this order was negotiated with Ms. Casey after Arthur Case went to the mayor's office.

Actually?

It is the result of the lack of strength of the group headed by Arthur Case who claim to be the true masters of the Federation, or in other words, the true protagonists of New York City.

In the conversation with George just now, Ms. Casey had one meaning.

You, George, are fully responsible for this matter. Similarly, if you fail to catch the Peerless Assassin, or let the Peerless Assassin succeed, then you must bear the blame.

Beckett frowned, "What should we do now?"

George didn't speak, but looked at the name on the crime notice in his hand, and then looked around.

"The notice was found at the Case Trust Bank?"

"……Correct."

Beckett nodded and looked at George: "Have you thought of anything?"

George shook his head, put the criminal notice in his hand into the evidence bag, and then said to Beckett, "This is the bank, the bank, and any case involving the bank is a federal case, right?"

Beckett was taken aback for a moment, and then his eyes lit up.

George wrote the serial number on the evidence bag, called a police officer, and asked him to send it to the forensics department for identification as soon as possible. Then he walked out of the bank, looked at the reporters squatting outside the cordon, and turned to Beckett and said: "The bank case, that's the federal case, the federal case, that's the FBI's business, call the FBI and ask if they're interested in taking over the case."

Beckett was slightly taken aback when he heard George's words.

Hand over the case to others?
These words, no matter how you look at them, don't seem like what George said.

George seemed to understand Beckett's eyes and said, "You know, what is the biggest feeling I got when I went to New Jersey this time?"

talking.

George didn't wait for Beckett to answer, but asked himself and answered, "That is, don't leave your choice to others."

He's not a fool.

George thought he was a bit of a brainer at best.

but……

Counting on George to be able to watch the big pot on his head without him making any movements, it means that everyone doesn't understand him, just like the case of the textile factory at that time.

At that time, the mayor also let George take full responsibility for arresting the Peerless Assassin. If the arrest was unsuccessful, George would be responsible for taking the blame.

But what happened?

While George insists on upholding the law and justice, there is another thing that George cares more about.

his family.

Helen, Gwen, Andy, three little transparent!

George is willing to give his life to uphold the law and justice, and he is willing to give his life for his family.

but……

This premise is voluntary.

If one day, someone forces him to volunteer, then George's principles will be loosened.

Just like the last textile factory incident.

The mayor forced George to choose one of two options, either arrest the Peerless Assassin, or take the blame. George chose to form an alliance with Ms. Casey, the current mayor, and let the mayor take the blame.

this time?
"what?"

At night, Locke and Gwen returned to the apartment, and when they heard the dining table, George said casually that after transferring the case to the FBI, he said in surprise, "This case...isn't going to the FBI."

George looked at Locke: "Any case involving banks falls under the jurisdiction of the FBI."

Locke and Gwen exchanged glances.

Gwen also felt a little bit surprised. The most important thing is, if George doesn't get involved in this case, how can she get information: "Dad, don't you hate it? People from the FBI came to steal your case?" ?”

Locke confirmed it, and said curiously: "Didn't the crime notice be given to that Arthur Case? It has nothing to do with the bank, right?"

George looked up and said, "But the notice appeared in the bank."

Locke raised an eyebrow.

next second.

Locke looked at George's eyes, thinking of the information he found about Arthur Case yesterday, as well as the information in today's news report, looked at George and said, "The mayor plans to let you take the blame?"

Before today, Locke had heard the name of Arthur Case at most, but who he was and what kind of person he was, Locke didn't care.

However, since the criminal blacklist has been given and there are witnesses to prove his guilt, Locke will still investigate himself to make sure that he will not kill the wrong person.

And in the survey data.

This Arthur Case, it seems, is Ms. Casey's biggest financial sponsor. After Ms. Casey came to power, in the past few years, some private contractors in New York City have chosen the loan bank of Casey. Here comes the trust bank.

Helen, who was wiping the saliva from the corner of Andy's mouth, heard this and looked at George: "Is what Locke said true?"

Seeing this, George nodded and said, "Almost, I really want to catch the Peerless Assassin, and I'm also confident that I can catch this Peerless Assassin, but you can't handle the case in this way."

Locke smiled and said, "I agree with you, sir."

Gwen frowned and said, "But, Dad, you blame the FBI, do they agree?"

"The criminal notice was found at the bank."

"However, the target of the Peerless Assassin is not the bank. The FBI can say that, can't it?"

"Correct."

George smiled, "Actually, that's what the FBI said."

The Peerless Assassin is a hot potato.

Moreover, the Peerless Assassin also proved that the FBI has always liked to add icing on the cake to give charcoal in the middle of nowhere. Knowing that this case involves Wall Street, this is a pitfall, how could it step on it.

"but……"

George changed the subject, smiled and said: "The FBI has already been investigating the Peerless Assassin and his accomplices because of the Statue of Liberty. According to the principle of case induction, I told the FBI, or, the Statue of Liberty should be taken away." Transfer the case to me, or you take the case away, there is no third choice."

"Then the FBI chose to take over the case," Gwynn said.

George nodded and said, "Yes, the one without any hesitation."

nonsense.

Do they dare to hesitate?

When Locke heard George's words, he said in his heart, if he chooses the former, with George's personality, I am afraid that he will really expose the Lighthouse Project to the public.

So, either hold your nose and take this case, or take the risk of being exposed by George about the Lighthouse project.

How to choose?
You can choose without hesitation.

but……

Locke looked at George suspiciously: "FBI, is there no other action?"

"Have."

George put the tuna in his mouth and said, "They raised me to the task force."

Locke raised an eyebrow.

That's right.

"but……"

George took a deep breath and put down the fork in his hand: "If you kick it out, you can kick it out. I don't like it too much. I'm handling the case with other people."

Locke didn't speak.

Gwen blinked: "Dad, why do you say that?"

"correct."

Locke looked at George curiously: "George, yesterday, Helen said, what clues did you find in New Jersey, what kind of clues?"

George smiled and looked at Locke: "This is a confidential case."

Locke apologized and said, "I thought you were kicked out of this case."

Gwen said from the side: "Dad, what clues are there? You were kicked out, but I don't have any."

Yes.

When she was on Liberty Island, Ms. Hill could agree to Gwen and participate in the case. However, at that time, Locke came back and knew what the case was.

George laughed and said, "Actually, I don't know if it can be counted as a clue, because when we went there, the inside was already emptied."

"Evacuated?"

"Ah."

George said that when he arrived in New Jersey, although the federal agents had already searched, he went into the room and took a look. Later, he found unburned paper and a key in the fireplace. Shared with federal agents.

The next day, that is, this morning, the federal agents said they had found the secret base in the forest. As a result, when they passed by, the secret base was empty.

At that time, Beckett called and told him that the Peerless Assassin had appeared in New York.

Done.

George shook his head: "It's just a useless clue."

Gwen snorted.

Locke also smiled.
