blackstone code

Chapter 2441

The old Progressives scribbled down their conjectures by hand in the ward.

No, it should not be said to be speculation. From the behavior of him constantly poking the notebook with a pencil, he is emphasizing that he is not guessing. He thinks that the black hand behind the scenes is Gladstone!

Because only Gladstone has such a big hatred against him!
Only Gladstone will end everything in this way!
The justices asked if there might be enemies on the conservative side, and the progressives didn't think the problem came from the other side.

You know, the old man of the Conservative Party is much easier to assassinate than him!

The old guy has been living a very healthy life recently, and the power in his hands is not as much as he would have lost if he took the initiative to retire. Adding the profits he has now obtained from Slem, it can be said that his life is complete!

He has offended enough to arrange for people to assassinate him. Basically, the old guy has already sent those people away before the other party arranges.

So in the end, the only one with a motive was Gladstone.

The Federation is a country that pays great attention to "motivation". It was even more important than "chain of evidence" and "procedural justice" at one time!

There was once a homicide, the evidence was sufficient, and there were no problems in the procedure, but the jury and the judge finally gave the defendant acquittal.

Because none of them believed that the defendant had a motive to kill the deceased, and this person has no reason to do so, which is ridiculous!
There are many people who have been let go by the judiciary because of their motives, but also because of their motives, more people have been caught!

When people encounter a trouble and don't know who is the enemy, they often get a sentence from others like "Think about it, who can get the most benefits after such a thing happens".

This sentence actually directly pointed the finger at the motive!

They do it because they are motivated, and if there is no motivation, there is absolutely no reason to do it!
These justices also knew this very well, and to a certain extent they even believed that this matter was more or less related to Gladstone.

But after all, this is a problem between the two committee chairmen of the Progressive Party, and they need more approval.

Lynch seemed to hesitate for a while when faced with this question, and then expressed his opinion, "If Mr.... (the old man of the Progressive Party) dies, whoever benefits the most will be the most likely."

The speaking justice shook his head with a smile, "Don't play tricks with us, talk about your judgment."

"There is no strict judgment, but the conflict between the two has become public and heated, and there is no room for reversal."

"If Gladstone steps down, it will not be as simple as losing power. You should know very well."

"After he came to power, he used his power to kick out many old people. What he offended was not a few people, but an entire former interest group."

"Whether his actions are appropriate, whether he has done anything against discipline since he came to power, it's hard to say."

"I heard that the new building of the Progressive Party was donated by the capitalists who supported him?"

It would cost at least tens of millions to build a building in the best location of Bupain. The house built with such a huge amount of money would not be used for operation, but would be donated directly to the Progressive Party.

This means that the businessman must at least earn more than the money he donated from the donation, so how does he earn it?
Does this involve some exchange of power and wealth?
And that's just the ones that were discovered, what about the ones that weren't?

In fact, there are some things that Lynch didn't say, but everyone knew in their hearts that with the contradiction between the two of them now, as long as Gladstone loses, someone will definitely punish him to death!
The motivation was indeed enough, and it was enough for Gladstone, who was initially at a disadvantage, to use some off-the-board tricks.

A justice suddenly asked a very interesting sentence, "Mr. Lynch, I remember that you and Gladstone are also friends, and you often appeared in newspapers together in the past two years."

He was talking about when Gladstone first came to power and when Connor ran for the campaign, these three people appeared in public frequently like real good friends.

And the three of them behave very naturally, they will often invite Lynch, and Lynch will also participate in various activities and banquets organized by them.

Even Gladstone admitted to the media that Lynch was one of his best friends!

But now, how long has passed, Lynch has reversely stood on the opposite side of Gladstone.

After the judge asked this sentence, he felt a little regretful. The judges here are not young, and the youngest is 60 years old.

Basically all the justices can be regarded as upright people!
Federal justices are not "airborne soldiers". Before being promoted to lifelong justices, they must step up from the district court.

At different stages, each judge must stay for enough time and deal with enough cases, and there are no obviously controversial cases before he can keep climbing.

In other words, a guy like Chris's husband may become a judge, but he has no chance to become a justice in his life, let alone a justice for life!
The justice's words were just his natural way of venting his emotions. You used to wish you could all be each other's brothers, but now you stabbed Gladstone as soon as you turned your head.

Regardless of whether Gladstone really did this, as a "friend", he felt that even if Lynch didn't take the initiative to defend Gladstone and say good things for him, he should avoid this issue!
But Lynch gave Gladstone a knife without hesitation, which made the justice feel a little bit... wanting to mock Lynch!

You said it so well before, driven by profit, turn your face when you should, is this what you Lynch do?

This question is very offensive, and some people looked at the judge who asked this question with some reproach.

But the question has already been asked. In order to maintain the dignity of the group, other people are naturally staring at Lynch.

Lynch didn't feel any pressure, and just replied with a chuckle, "Justice is my partner. I'm a very simple person. I make friends with good people and fight against bad people."

"Are you questioning my justice?"

"No, I'm just curious about your motive." The presumptuous judge fell silent after finishing his sentence.

The atmosphere was a little awkward, and the justice sitting in the middle broke the awkward atmosphere, "We will start investigating Gladstone immediately, but I don't think we can get any meaningful results from the investigation."

"If he really did it, he wouldn't be so stupid as to contact the killer himself, including the flow of funds and so on. There must be someone else handling these things for him."

"so……"

He wanted to say that even if they all believe that Gladstone did this, there is actually no good way.

After all, Gladstone is a very special person, he is not an ordinary person, he holds power and influence in his hands.

Those who have invested a lot of money in him will never watch him step down. Even if he does nothing, someone will try his best to help him solve these troubles.

Lynch curled his lips, "First file the case, and then ask him to cooperate with the investigation, is there any problem?"

The justice sitting in the middle nodded, "There is no problem, because the direct victim testifies against him, so he is obliged to cooperate with the investigation."

"He does not hold any government position now and is not protected by special laws."

"But there is only a motive, and there is not enough evidence. It is also difficult for you to get him convicted."

Lynch shook his head and did not answer the question. In fact, defeating Gladstone does not mean that he should show his flaws and get clues to testify against him.

As long as he loses the power in his hand, that's enough!
Now that he has provoked public anger, he will become very troublesome, and then try to find a way to remove him from the Federation for a few days, and then the party committee will hold an impromptu meeting to impeach him.

In his absence, there is a good chance that impeachment will succeed.

As long as the impeachment is successful, he will be dismissed from the party immediately, and no one needs to do anything deliberately for the rest, he has to find a way to protect himself.

Even his grandfather, father, couldn't save him in this matter!
Because he has offended both parties!
The justices found nothing to ask and left quickly. They had other work to do.

This time coming here is actually just a...political act, a statement.

With politicians traveling on such a large scale, soon the whole world will know what happened!
Those who don't know much about the federal political system may feel that the Federalists are just too... overkill.

Only those who know the federal political system know how much this matter has affected the federal political arena!
The killer made a bad start. This may be another assassination of a figure at the top of the federal pyramid in addition to the assassination of Mr. Truman in recent years!

If it is not curbed and stopped, there will only be more and more people doing this kind of thing in the future!
During this incident, Gladstone also called the old man of the Progressive Party. On the phone, he lowered his voice and told the old man to take care of himself in a very gentle voice.

He will also help the old man find out the murderer and the man behind the scenes, and will definitely avenge him.

It was a pity that Gladstone could not see the old man, otherwise he would have seen the old man break the pencil in his hand, and tear a lot of paper from the notebook, tearing it to pieces.

He actually made this call just to piss off the old man. He heard that the old man was seriously injured and needed to rest.

The killer could no longer be contacted. It is not known whether he was arrested or hid.

The only way he could do this was to test the other party's reaction while being angry with the old man.

In fact, he also succeeded. It didn't take long for the old man to be sent to the emergency because of abnormally high blood pressure.

Many of his wounds have not healed yet. Originally, he was older and the healing speed was slower.

After being so angry by Gladstone, some wounds began to bleed out again...
