Chapter 2239

"what is this?"

The senior FBI agent in charge of the scene took a small, charred card from the hand of a rank-and-file agent.

It was late at night outside the house, and the light from the street lamps could barely be seen, but not so bright.

In the slightly dark night, there were some blurry things on the small card, which he couldn't see clearly.

The great thing about being a leader is that they don't need to know "why", just "what".

The ordinary detective immediately asked his partner to turn on the headlights of the car, and the light just shone, "Boss, I found this inside."

With the light, the small card was suddenly illuminated very clearly.

Its charred side looked like some kind of animal hide, and it still exuded a faint stench.

When he turned this small card over, there was a half-drawn ID photo, with the badge and logo of the Federal Army printed on the right side, and the officer's name, rank, and anti-counterfeit signature below.

"This is a military ID card." The senior detective said, trying to tear it off the leather coat, but it was obviously not easy.

There's some sticking, that's going to be done later in the lab just to make sure it doesn't break.

"Call the people from the newspaper office..."

Soon the president came over with a dejected look on his face.

"Do you have veterans here?" asked the senior agent. "Especially veterans."

After retiring from the army, some soldiers still habitually keep their identity information documents during their service, which can be said to be a kind of commemoration, and it will also have a great effect when necessary.

The president froze for a moment, then shook his head, "We don't have veterans here, let alone officers."

"If you know what we do, you should know that even if they have our job, they are not willing to do it."

At this time, veterans still have a lot of social welfare benefits. For example, the army is willing to write letters of recommendation for veterans.

These letters of recommendation have a certain chance of getting them into the company they want to work in. Even if they cannot enter a large company, becoming a worker is actually a good choice.

The main job of the newspaper is to write articles, not to shoot or swing a sledgehammer. The salary may be very attractive to veterans, but they are obviously not able to afford these jobs.

The senior agent didn't say anything, just nodded, "We probably have a clue, don't worry."

"The Federation is a society ruled by law. As long as someone commits a crime, he will not escape the severe punishment of the law!"

The president could only smile wryly after hearing this. It may be a little useful to ordinary people to say this sentence.

For someone like him, it's like saying nothing.

At present, the federal crime detection rate is less than 30.00%, and the homicide detection rate is even less than 20.00%.

If it is said that as long as you commit a crime, you will definitely be arrested. This is obviously for fools, and only fools believe it.

After many cases occurred, the local police station simply inspected the scene and registered the cases.

When other suspects are caught in the future, they will be routinely asked whether they know about these cases and who committed the crimes.

It sounds like nonsense, but this is the truest portrayal of this period.

But at the same time, it is feasible.

Because the main group of criminals in the Federation is still mainly gangsters with gang backgrounds, including pickpockets and thieves, most of them will join gangs.

After joining a gang, in order to enhance their status in the eyes of others, many gang members generously share their criminal history to gain more respect.

For example, after drinking, some people will often brag that they have shot someone to death at a certain time, robbed something and so on.

If, while he was bragging about it, someone in the audience was arrested for a crime, given the sentencing standards, there was a chance they would confess what they knew.

Among all federal prisons, only those directly under the Bureau of Prisons can be called "public prisons" or "state prisons". Others, including prisons established by different government agencies, are private prisons.

The advantage of serving a sentence in a public prison is that you don't need to work on the sewing machine from morning to night, but the disadvantage is that the prison is like a gang, and the relationship is complicated.

Sometimes prosecutors use the threat of "Shock you to ... prison" to coerce defendants into revealing something of interest to them.

Some gangs are stronger in public prisons, and some are weaker. If you are locked up in a prison with a strong rival gang, you can imagine the consequences!

Even sending them directly to a private prison can be seen as a threat. After all, being treated as expendable labor from morning to night, this kind of life is not as easy as death for gang members.

Once someone can't bear the pressure and seeks a good sentencing or can choose to serve a sentence in prison, they will say, I heard a certain person say at a certain time, where he was and what case he did.

So an old case was solved.

This kind of situation is actually very common. Not everyone can survive the torture and subsequent torture in prison, but it is basically impossible to lock a certain case in this way.

The president knew very well that if he wanted to rely on someone who didn't shut up and leaked the news that they smashed here, and then the audience was arrested for a crime, he couldn't bear the pressure to say these things.

At least a few months later, or even longer.

He moved his lips, took out a checkbook from his pocket, wrote a check and handed it over, "I will offer a reward of 1 yuan for clues..."

A check of 1 yuan, clues of [-] yuan, and the remaining [-] yuan is naturally used to thank the agents of the Bureau of Investigation for their hard work.

The senior agent took one look and pocketed it.

This practice is actually very illegal, but who would say?

The senior agent can't say it himself, let alone the president, so why not accept it?
The money will not only fall into his own pocket, and the agents who are out in the field can share some of it.

It's just that the senior detective thought that if the president knew that people from the military might be involved behind this incident, would he regret spending so much money?

The next morning, the FBI in the satellite city found out the existence of this officer through the relationship of the FBI.

According to the joint investigation feedback provided by the Ministry of National Defense, this officer should now be performing a mission on a small island in the Eastern Ocean.

Wanting to pursue it further, the Ministry of National Defense refused to exchange information at a deeper level on the grounds of "refusal to provide confidential information".

This matter seems to be over.

But the more this is the case, the more there is a black hand behind the scenes to promote all this.

A little later, the senior regiment responsible for the arson case received a call.

His expression was surprised at first, but then he became a little nervous and a little serious, until the end of the phone call, he didn't say much in total.

The call was made by the nephew of the director general. He asked the senior team members to tell the truth, and then left the rest of the work to the director of the newspaper office.

The senior detective agreed to everything, including the fact that he wanted to return the money.

Although he was a bit reluctant, but someone above had spoken, he could only do so.

On the third night after the incident, senior detectives found the president and returned the check.

"what happened?"

In the president's study, the president glanced at the check, but did not accept it.

He was well aware of the actions of these Bureau of Investigation agents. On the surface, he offered a reward of 1 yuan, but he paid 2 yuan.

Among them, 1 yuan was given to their director and assistant director, because the anonymous good citizens who finally provided strong clues were the two of them, or their family members.

The remaining [-] is distributed to those who handle the case, and each person can get a few hundred to a thousand.

Everyone is doing this, otherwise the FBI in each region would have a backlog of cases, so why should they supervise your case first?

It's just that the money was refunded today, which made him feel a little tricky.

In many cases, the reward money offered by the "victim" will not be detected for several years, and finally nothing will happen.

The FBI will not return the money!

Retiring does not mean that they can't handle the case, but that they dare not handle it, or they can't handle it, and some big shots may be involved in it.

The senior agent shook his head. "Nothing happened. The reward will continue to hang. When someone provides clues and we successfully catch him, you will pay the money."

The president didn't believe it, he hesitated for a while, and pushed the check over again, "I want to know what happened."

The reason why he is willing to spend money is actually very simple.

If he can catch this person, or this group of people, the 2 yuan he spent today, together with the loss of the newspaper, can be recovered from those people by multiples.

The current situation is a bit unexpected, and something that may have occurred beyond the scope of the investigation bureau's capabilities, so continuing to seek the truth may not necessarily make up for the loss, but may cause even greater losses.

The 2 yuan is obviously nothing compared to the unknown danger and greater loss.

The senior detective looked at the 2 yuan check on the table and shook his head, "I dare not take such a large amount of money."

The president immediately understood, "It's because I didn't think maturely...", he said, re-signed five checks for 2000 yuan, and pushed them over, which was much more reasonable.

The senior agent looked at the checks, pocketed them, then pulled a brown paper bag from his pocket and handed it over.

Under his signal, the president opened the kraft paper bag, and took out the burnt military officer's card from it.

The senior agent added at this point, "This was found in your newspaper office."

The president's reaction was quick, "You mean that people from the military set fire to my newspaper office?"

The senior agent quickly denied, "I didn't say that, I just passed on my findings to you, what you do is your business, and it has nothing to do with me."

"For the sake of..., I suggest that this matter should be forgotten."

"After all, their identities are very special, you can't beat them!"
