Chapter 2314

"Preconceived" is a terrible impression.

The purpose of the "presumption of innocence" in the federal judiciary is to avoid directly bringing in the idealistic idea that the suspect is a criminal, which will cause the trial work of the case to deviate from the normal.

When a person thinks that another person has a certain label, no matter what this person does, it will be regarded as a "suspect" behavior.

It's like... cheating.

A very broad concept, so let's narrow it down to cheating in gambling.

When you think your opponent is cheating in gambling and he wins money, you will feel that he must have won through some "technical means", which is a despicable victory.

When you have a big hand and the opponent chooses to give up, you will also feel that he may know your cards, so he avoids the greatest risk.

No matter what actions the opponent makes, it is unreasonable in your opinion. Unless he loses a lot of money at the end of the game, you will reduce the suspicion of the opponent instead of thinking that the opponent is not cheating!

Preconceived, that's it, dominates people's thinking to think in a fixed pattern, which is a terrible concept.

Therefore, the judiciary in most countries requires the "presumption of innocence". What we have to do is to clear the suspicion of the suspect, not to prove that the suspect is a criminal!
When the name Gladstone came to Connor's mind, he subconsciously felt that he was likely to be involved.

Because other people who know about it, such as his wife, such as his wife's husband, such as some people around him.

They all maintain a very different interest relationship with themselves. Simply put, if they lose the chance to become president because of this incident, then these people will not be able to benefit from it.

On the contrary, if he can become the president, these people will get a lot of benefits because of his status change.

Everyone has common interests, so it is unlikely to do such a thing that betrays him.

Only Gladstone, his core interests, and Connor's own core interests, are not the same.

Gladstone hopes to consolidate his position and authority within the party by pushing the Progressive Party to remain in power. It seems that his and Connor's interests are the same, and they are both working hard for Connor to be president.

However, for Gladstone, even if Connor can't become president, it doesn't actually have much influence on him.

It was nothing more than keeping a low profile for a while, and he had already placed his own people in important positions in the Progressive Party. The control of the Progressive Party, let alone absolute control, at least would not be out of his control.

He already got an A, and it doesn't really matter if he has an A+ or not, because no matter how bad it is, it's only an A.

But the others were different. They only got a C, so Gladstone's suspicion became bigger.

Lynch didn't speak. He knew from Connor's expression that he probably already had a candidate in mind.

Lynch didn't know if that person was Gladstone, but whether it was or not, it was a good thing for Lynch.

Because the person who can know this must have an unusual relationship with Connor.

Either his closest relatives, or his closest business partners.

Mr. Truman is so strong and assertive, why is Lynch still able to influence and even change some of his decisions to a great extent?
Because Mr. Trueman is politically, in fact, isolated!
He is not like the traditional federal politician who rose to the top step by step through the process.

From the time they were in elementary school, their personal connections have been constantly weaving. When they can run for president and win the election, their friends may have tens of thousands of people!
For example, President Bowling, many of his capitalists and political figures have maintained long-term and stable relationships with him.

Unlike Mr. Truman, he doesn't have so many friends.

He spent all his youth in the army, and the army had nothing to help him politically except for providing him with the "confidence" to turn the tables.

And the Progressives, the Conservatives, aren't too keen on approaching an "outlier" who climbed to the presidency with military support.

Moreover, the cloud of war and the outbreak of war, the president is in power, and people are even more reluctant to approach him.

Only a few people are friends he can communicate with, and among these people, Lynch is the most special one.

When a person’s only choices are “me” and “us,” they tend to choose “us.”

It is actually very simple to turn Connor into a person who is easy to persuade like President Bowling, as long as he is not too close and can discuss more private matters with him.

When he has troubles, the first thing he thinks of is Lynch.

As long as Lynch can solve his troubles twice, his dependence on Lynch will become more and more serious, and he will eventually listen and believe.

Lynch patted him on the back, "I'll arrange some people to stay and protect you. Your safety needs to be taken seriously now. We can't ignore the worst case."

Connor recovered from his thoughts, and his expression was serious, "Then I will trouble you."

At present, the core part of Connor is the bodyguards sent by his family, the middle part is the protection provided by the security team of the Security Council, and the outermost part is the FBI.

But whether it's his family's bodyguards, the Security Council, or the FBI, these are all links that may be penetrated.

Not long before Mr. Truman was assassinated and killed, Connor also realized through the "leaking incident" that some things may not be as imagined, and they are all under control.

Lynch's Blackstone Security is the number one private armed force in the Federation, providing security protection for dignitaries and wealthy people from all over the world. So far, there has not been any successful assassination of a big shot.

Moreover, he thinks that Lynch is someone he can rely on, and it can be seen from his willingness to "kill people" for himself that Lynch can be trusted.

He did not refuse, nodded, and responded to Lynch, "My safety is in your hands!"

Then Lynch arranged for the sergeant to call in Blackstone Security's top defense team, which basically consisted of mid-level field staff and senior field staff.

The least of these people has more than [-] hours of personal protection experience, and at least no less than [-] hours of life-and-death combat experience.

Just one level lower than Lynch's own safety standards!
And Lynch, of course, has to leave to deal with Connor's troubles, and he has to deal with them satisfactorily, so that Connor can feel that he has someone he can rely on!
After leaving Connor's big villa, Lynch didn't go home directly, but found the director of the FBI.

Meeting in the suburbs naturally saves a lot of trouble.

The director general went directly to Lynch's manor.

"There's something you need to do."

Lynch was direct, without discussion or negotiation.

The director general nodded without any objection or question.

The relationship now is very special.

It can be said that it all depends on Lynch for the Director General to continue in this position.

As long as Lynch twists his mouth, no matter how many years he has worked in the FBI and how much energy he has spent, it will be wasted in an instant.

This is a very abnormal relationship between supply and demand. The director general is at the bottom, but he has to accept such a relationship.

Because without Lynch, he will be nothing soon, not even a politician!
This is also the saddest place for the director of the FBI.

Politicians in other positions, such as cabinet members, even lost their current jobs because of the change of president.

They can still be active in politics and may become governors, speakers of regional councils or even MPs at any time.

But the director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation will not have a good life after resigning. Among so many former directors, less than one-third survive to die of natural causes.

The rest died of various accidents, quietly in a corner.

The media won't even report it because they know so many fucking secrets.

For the ruling group, this kind of person who holds a lot of secrets and is not the core of his own team should not live in this world!
Lynch lit a cigarette, "Connor has been threatened, first you have to investigate clearly who is threatening him."

"Secondly, take some explosives and throw out our opponent's black materials."

"Just those two things."

The chief kept it in his heart silently, and asked Lynch some details about Connor's "blackmail".

In fact, this information is difficult to trace, but it is not impossible.

It is difficult for anyone to completely erase the traces of their own behavior, as in the plumbing case.

He felt that he hadn't revealed any flaws, but for this world, as long as he stepped out of the house, he would leave traces.

As long as witnesses can be found, there is no escape from the law.

By the way, his "partner" has been captured, the perverted killer plumber has been captured, and the chief has earned a lot of face.

Before leaving, Lynch added two more points.

"Look up Gladstone, by the way, and the Socialists. I always think they might make trouble."

This feeling is very subtle, and it can be said to be the instinct of a "conspirator".

If he is a member of the Socialist Party and has not considered winning the election from the beginning, they will definitely cause trouble at the critical moment!
Let the Progressive Party and the Conservative Party stink, so as to quickly gain popular support to occupy some areas, and even "lay" a state as the basic base of the Socialist Party!
The director general was a little surprised, but he still agreed.

Although Gladstone is a big shot, it is dangerous to investigate him, but the Director-General is very clear about who is his real backer.

After watching the director general leave, Lynch waited for a while before leaving by car.

At the same time, the sergeant personally led the team away from Bu Paine.

Lynch entrusted him with the task of taking Connor's mistress and illegitimate child away.
