Chapter 1892 Confession and Contact

The violent impact on the ear and the instant weightlessness gave Mr. Burns an unreal feeling!
As if everything in this world was fake, as if the life he experienced was just a dream he had in another world!
The exclamation of the people on the street, as well as the frightened faces of the people, made him feel a little unwilling.

He's only in his 30s, and he doesn't want to die yet!
But God didn't seem to like him very much, the feeling of weakness in his body made his world gradually darken, and he passed out.

The driver who got out of the pickup truck reeked of alcohol. He looked at the phone booth that had been hit at a 45-degree angle, and there was a barely noticeable arc at the corner of his mouth.

Then there was a panic and fear expression on his face, he knelt on the ground by his hair and kept repenting and apologizing for everything he had done, as if it was real!

Federal phone booths are strong.

Because there is a concrete cornerstone under the telephone booth, which is firmly controlled on the base by thumb-thick screws.

This is for phone booths to be stolen.

When the federation just started to popularize telephone booths, there were two most common situations.

Either the phone was smashed, and the cash box inside was robbed.

Or, the entire phone booth has been stolen.

Later, after many new designs, the current telephone booth was born.

Sturdy, anti-theft and durable.

The small box that the payphone used to store the coins was designed separately from the entire phone and was very reliable.

Even if someone smashes it, it will not damage the phone itself, at most it will break a casing.

This reduces the use cost and risk cost of the phone booth, so when the pickup truck hits it, it doesn't crash or fly away.

With proper deceleration, Mr. Burns is not dead!

It all seemed to end there as the pickup was pulled back and firefighters opened the deformed gate to free Pence.

The driver was arrested for dangerous driving, facing his possible payment of Pence's rescue and medical expenses, as well as spirit and compensation, a fine of 100 to 36 yuan, and no more than [-] weeks in prison.

The punishment for the crime of dangerous driving is not too heavy. At this time, the dangerous behavior of federal drinking and driving has not been fully included in the scope of crime.

Judicially, the maximum fine will not exceed 100 yuan, as well as compensation for various losses.

The sentence will not be too long, two or three years, this is a heavy sentence that will only be imposed when there is a lot of panic.

Most don't do it for long, even if someone dies in a car accident.

After all, the car accident itself did not occur on the initiative of subjective consciousness, nor was it premeditated.

In the Commonwealth, as long as the crime is not premeditated, the nature is not bad. God allows human beings to commit crimes and reform, and the law will naturally not deny them opportunities!

However, there is a special "punitive" mechanism in the federal judiciary. If the court believes that the criminal should accept a profound lesson, the amount of the fine and the sentence can be increased many times according to the judge's own wishes.

It may even lead to a 100-year sentence and a fine of hundreds of millions!

These methods used in political strife are rarely used on a truck driver with three children to support. If nothing else, he will be out after half a year at most.

There's a good chance you don't even need to go to jail, just do a little more community volunteering or something.

It didn't take long for the street to calm down and the phone service company to arrange for someone to replace the hapless phone booth.

After being rescued, Mr. Pence, who was frightened far beyond the real injury, woke up suddenly in the middle of the night.

He looked at the unfamiliar and somewhat attribute environment around him, and all he could smell was the smell of disinfectant. For some reason, his violent heartbeat gradually calmed down.

People are very strange. They are afraid of going to the hospital, but after going there, they become calm and feel safe.

He touched his head, it hurt a little.

Because he used the public phone booth without a helmet, he had a big bag on his head, and there was no wound on his body other than that.

You have to almost die once to feel the beauty of being alive.

At one o'clock in the evening, the nurse came in to make rounds, saw Burns waking up, and then notified the doctor on duty.

Because someone will pay Pence's medical expenses, the hospital generously gave him the best treatment.

After asking about his current subjective feelings, the doctor gave him a reassuring smile and left.

But not long after the doctor left, the phone under the windowsill suddenly rang.

This is a high-end medical ward, and he is the only one.

The medical instruments piled up beside the bed indirectly told him that the cost of treatment here is expensive, and only the rich can live here.

While the phone ringing frightened him, his brain began to ache.

The ringing of the phone alarmed the nurse outside the door, and she looked at the phone strangely.

In fact, its function is not "ringing", but as a "communication fee" of 15 yuan per day added to the overall charge!
Most of the people who live in this room don't need it very much. Who is hospitalized with a serious illness and will be disturbed by others?

Really being disturbed is not being disturbed by phone calls, and those who can be disturbed by phone calls may not have a distinguished status.

"Do you want to pick it up?" The nurse walked to the table and looked at Pence lying on the bed.

Pence showed obvious discomfort. He wanted to refuse, but finally nodded.

The nurse put the phone on the bedside table and left voluntarily.

Taking a deep breath, Pence picked up the phone, and the familiar voice came from the other end.

"I said, we'll still talk."

Pence's breathing began to become short, and the instrument used to display blood pressure began to update rapidly, and every second of refresh made a number continuously increase.

Pence gritted his teeth tightly, and his voice squeezed out, "That's not a car accident, it's murder!"

There was obviously a contemptuous laugh from the receiver, "Mr. Pence, there are thousands of car accidents in the Commonwealth every day."

"At least a dozen people are killed in car accidents every day."

"You say that what happened to you just now was murder, do you think the court will believe you?"

"And do you really think that we will contact you without any evidence?"

"Don't forget the money in your account!"

"We have a way to trace the source of the money, but some people think that you should be given a chance, and our benevolent move should be able to save time and cost."

"This is our last call, Mr. Pence."

"If you insist on not telling, this is also your last 24 hours."

"I'm not trying to scare you, I'm just telling you a fact!"

It was much easier for Lynch to check an account than for the federal government, and he soon figured out where Pence's money came from—overseas.

It will take some time to trace the overseas accounts. Lynch believes that the payer of the money is actually in China.

Pence, who was lying on the hospital bed, felt the strong sense of danger again. After a short silence, he said a name.

He can't afford this dangerous game, he can only turn himself into a traitor in the game.

It was the name of one of Bu Paine's little-known brokers.

The political operation of the Federation is like this, and there is often no direct connection between the behind-the-scenes messengers and the executors.

They will complete the whole process through one or more third parties, that is, various and more brokers.

For example, if someone wants to do something, he will contact a broker he knows.

The broker will give a quotation with a certain amount of overflow, and if he can do it himself, he will contact the executor by himself.

If he can't do it and lacks resources in this area, he will contact other brokers to subcontract the task.

This can protect the safety of the behind-the-scenes messenger very well. Unless encountering irresistible factors, the behind-the-scenes commander is safe most of the time.

Those loose-mouthed brokers have all disappeared in Bu Pain, and the remaining ones are still active, which naturally shows their ability to keep secrets!
This set of laws has been in operation for as long as the federal government has existed.

If it exists, there must be a reason for its existence.

"If you didn't lie to me, this nightmare is over..."

This answer made Pence heave a sigh of relief. He smelled the pleasant smell of disinfectant, and his mental exhaustion made him quickly sink into a dream!

He didn't know how long he had rested in a daze, and when he opened his eyes again, the sky outside the window was already bright. He picked up the phone and was going to contact his boss, wanting to talk about asking for leave.

At this moment, three people directly pushed the door and entered.

"Mr. Pence, please put down the phone in your hand."

The person who walked in the front walked directly to the head of the bed, raised his hand and pressed the spring on the phone, and took out his ID.

"Senior agent of the Federal Security Council, we suspect that you are suspected of leaking state secrets abroad, and you will be required to cooperate in the next investigations!"

At this time, Pence's head was buzzing, and every time his heart beat, he felt his head was getting bigger again!
Betrayers do not end well, even Mr. Truman, who is full of ideal romanticism, will not tolerate betrayers.

Pence was quickly taken away from the hospital by the security committee, which also made some people sensitive.

Senator Langdon was still enjoying a delicious breakfast when the phone not far away suddenly rang.

Most people don't call people at breakfast because it's a private time and it's bad manners to disturb someone during private time.

What's more, Senator Langdon is about to go to work soon. If there is anything that can be discussed during working hours, it doesn't make much sense to be three to five ten minutes earlier, and it will make people feel a little dissatisfied.

Senator Langdon asked the servant to bring the phone, and he sat down at the table and picked up the phone.

The content on the phone changed his expression from being flat at the beginning to frowning.

After hanging up the phone, he sat at the dining table thinking for a long time before picking up the phone again.

He has to communicate with Lynch!
