Chapter 2075

"Tell me, did you send anyone to assassinate Mr. Truman?"

In the airtight room, there were no furnishings, only a few ordinary chairs and a table.

For the rooms of most rich people, carpets and decorations are almost indispensable.

But here, there is nothing.

This is a "secret room". Its function is not to hide anything, but to give people a place where they can say something private.

The walls, ceiling, and floor are so simple that you can’t find any decoration, plus the chairs and tables are so simple that you can see through them at a glance. No one will suspect that there is some recording equipment hidden here, or something else.

After the ex-president explained the transactions between him and those big capitalists, the security committee temporarily let him leave there.

Judging from the evidence currently held by the Security Committee, he is just a mouthpiece, not a specific planner or executor.

Not only will keeping him in the security committee not bring any help in the detection, but it will cause some unnecessary troubles because he stays too long!
In this world, when a person is qualified to master other people's secrets, he must master more than one secret!
During the tenure of the former president, he had close cooperation with many capitalists.

If he is not allowed to go out, some people may have to find a way to reach out to him, or simply make him shut up.

As soon as he left the security committee, the former president found a good friend who entrusted him at that time, a big capitalist.

The two were in the secret room of the former president, and he asked the question he was most concerned about——

"You guys, did you really do that!"

Until this moment, the former presidents believed that these people might really be involved in the assassination of President Truman!

This is something he can hardly accept!

You must know that the relationship between him and Mr. Truman is not a simple subordinate and subordinate, but a very complicated relationship.

They are superiors and subordinates, friends, and even close "comrades in arms".

When he encountered a scandal, Mr. Truman was the first to stand up to support him, which largely prevented him from leaving the meeting early and preserved his dignity.

And after that, Mr. Truman, as his political successor in a certain sense, made him a lot of glory.

The relationship between the two parties is delicate.

The current former president knew that he might have been assassinated by these people, and he also had some dissatisfaction and anger in his heart!
If Mr. Truman does not die, when he resigns smoothly, his influence will far exceed all past presidents who have resigned!

Even in the first four years, his influence overwhelmed the winning president!

All these things that could have been used to help the former president himself are now dead.

When he didn't know before, he didn't feel much. Now when he realizes that these things may be done by his good friends.

He thought these people were bad and stupid.

Facing the questioning of the former president, his friend was a little embarrassed sitting on the chair.

His hands and fingers were intertwined indiscriminately. After he let go, he made some small movements in his hands to deepen the context, but he opened his mouth, his hands clasped together again, and he closed his mouth.

He didn't know what to say.

And this attitude also made the former president realize that they might have really done that!

"You are too courageous and stupid to do such a thing?"

The former president was very disappointed. In fact, most of the truth most of the time is disappointing.

The good friend had to speak at this time. He pursed his lips and said, "We did consider doing that, but it was not our doing!"

The tone of the former president was a bit mocking, "You don't have as much confidence when you speak as when you lie!"

The good friend was scolded for a long time, and at this time he also lost his temper. He increased his voice, "Then what do you want me to say?"

"Told you 'Yes, Mr. President, we killed Truman'?"

"As I said, we thought about doing it, but we didn't!"

"At least I don't know that someone did that. This matter has nothing to do with us. Someone wants to plant it on us!"

Sometimes the voice is loud, and it does sound like a righteous one.

The former president walked back and forth a few steps, "This matter is a big one. I inquired about it, and they and the justices all support the investigation to the end."

"I don't have the same relationship with them as the two of us, I mean if you're really not more deeply involved in it..."

When he said this, he paused for a while, silent, as if weighing the pros and cons.

After a while, for 30 seconds, he glanced at his good friend before continuing, "...Then you'd better cooperate with the investigation of the Security Committee."

"They'll be after you soon!"

The good friend, the big capitalist, suddenly stood up in shock, "You confessed me?"

The ex-president was also annoyed, "I'm just a fucking old man, you know what they do, I don't want to pee my pants in it, and I don't think I should keep any of your stupid plans a secret!"

"Since you are not involved in it, you must get out of it completely as soon as possible!"

"It's good for you, it's good for me!"

"Also, more agencies will join the investigation soon, and you think no one will know about the damn secret things you do."

"But in fact everyone will know soon, and you will never know their methods."

"It's impossible for someone to really guard something, even a god!"

The good friend fell into silence again, this time for a longer time.

After a while, he got up and was about to leave. At the same time, he said, "I will think about it seriously. Before that, I will get more information that I may not know."

"If you have any ideas, I will contact you as soon as possible."

The former president knew that he hadn't made a decision. After all, he was suspected of conspiring and implementing the plan to assassinate the president, and he succeeded.

If this was revealed, it would be the largest case in the past 20 years. The federal government has not abolished the death penalty. Except for a very few states with a strong religious atmosphere, all other states have retained the power of the death penalty.

In other words, as long as the criminal evidence is confirmed, he will really die!
The lifelong justices will not compromise with capital in such a case, they will eagerly send the capitalists to the execution platform!
After his good friend, the big capitalist left, he sent people back to his home. He poured himself a glass of wine, and then dialed a number.

The phone was picked up quickly, neither of them spoke immediately, and they were silent for a while.

At this moment, the rich man asked, "The person who did it...is it one of us?"

The person on the other side of the phone suddenly became a little manic, "You shouldn't have said this on the phone!"

The rich man was not so nervous, "As long as you don't say the specific content, even if there are recordings of these conversations, there is no way for them to become evidence in court."

"I just want to know now, is it one of us?"

Mr. Truman pushed so hard that he was only a week away from signing the privilege order, which would bring the amendments to the antitrust laws into effect.

In other words, it was only a week before most of the big capitalists were pushed to the brink.

Either be brutally dismembered by the federal government, or everyone will hold together in silence.

At this time, the Federation's finances are unprecedentedly prosperous. Once those big groups, big consortia, and companies with actual market monopoly behavior are split up, it will be difficult to continue to be manipulated through some means like before!

International hot money and new forces will swallow everything they can swallow, so some of them have indeed arranged for assassins.

This matter was originally a very secret matter, and it was impossible for everyone to know about it, so they entrusted a certain reliable person to be responsible for it.

Others only offer money and convenience, but never learn more about the whole thing, so that a massive leak does not happen.

So the millionaire himself actually didn't know whether the person who assassinated the president was someone they arranged.

After the person in charge on the opposite side was silent, he denied Monopoly's question, "If you want to hear the truth, then I can only tell you that it's over before we have time to make a move."

"It looked like there were other people who thought the same as us and went ahead of us, so it wasn't us who did it."

The rich man rubbed his temples, "Is our player still there?"

"Is he safe now?"

The other end of the phone answered quickly this time, but the content of the answer was not the same as what the rich man wanted.

"what are you going to do?"

The guy on the other end of the phone asked, he was keenly aware of something, and became a little nervous.

Monopoly can only explain, "We can create an accident and get out, you know what I mean."

"Now that we're being targeted, maybe give them something they want and it'll be over."

"What do you say?"

The phone hung up, but the rich man was relieved, which was good news, at least for him.

It wasn't their people who did it, which meant that they had premeditated plans and no specific implementation.

If an accident happens to a specific "tool man", they may not even have premeditated.

At the same time, he was also a little curious, who on earth made the move so quickly that they didn't even have a chance to do it?

But now these things are not so important. At this time, he feels more and more that his friend, the former president is right, and he seems to have picked himself out.

Otherwise, it will only become more and more troublesome in the future, especially if the military also intervenes in the investigation, it will be a disaster!
But how to make these things have nothing to do with oneself, how to do this, is particularly important.

It can't be too abrupt, but also can't be too passive, which is somewhat nerve-wracking.

Maybe his good friend, the former president, will give him some help for the sake of our friendship for so many years!
　I have an inexplicable urge to stick out my tongue and my jaw feels tired.
