Chapter 57 The complexity of human nature lies in the contradictions in human nature

If Joe Grimman just didn't know that Johnson was going to introduce a small person to him, then Johnson was sitting next to Lynch with a poop-eating expression on his face.

A little disgust, a little nausea, a little regret, a little temper that I can't even tell myself, and a face full of disgust.

Logically speaking, how could a director of the tax bureau introduce some important personal connections to a small person like Lynch, not to mention that he just gave himself a fist, and the entire tax system was not so stable from top to bottom.

Michael in particular, there was a rumor from the state office last night. Given the current pressure of public opinion, the idea above is to abandon Michael.

The top officials of the state office have also repeatedly stated the position of the top management during the conference call. It is not that the senior management will give up his subordinates when something happens.

The Federal Taxation Bureau that fights head-on even has the army, and never knows what it means to beg for mercy, but the problem is that the bottom is not clean, and the higher-ups come to wipe their butts, so don't blame the people above.

They gave Johnson some hints before, and let Lynch confirm the identity of the criminal as soon as possible - this is what the Sabine City IRS said by itself, Lynch may be a criminal, and the person who has this idea is Michael .

Like Commissioner Johnson that Lynch may not be so clean, but from the current point of view he obviously did not have any illegal activities, including his company's accounts, they still checked the entire warehouse when they took Lynch away, and found nothing. any exception.

The main reason for the uproar in public sentiment now is that Lynch himself is innocent. In addition to the various law enforcement conflicts before, it was mainly from the Bureau of Investigation and some people who helped to make things like this today.

As long as Lynch becomes a criminal, most people will have no sense of substitution. Although the Baylor Federation always advertises itself as a human rights country, it is clear that people's attitude towards criminals does not seem to have anything to do with human rights. .

Attitude determines the trend and future of things. To get justice for a criminal, even stupid people will not do it.

As a result, a week has passed. The Sabine City Tax Bureau has joined forces with the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the two strongest federal departments have joined forces. They have not found the slightest way to add a "criminal" to Lynch's identity tag. Label.

This made the middle and senior management of the tax bureau very embarrassed. If they can't do this little thing well, what else can the people below do well?
Of course, this cannot be completely blamed on these two major institutions. Now the eyes of society are all focused on Lynch. Once there is any mistake in the process of nailing him into a criminal, it may make the current situation even worse. passive.

So on the conference call they pointed out that since you can't save Michael, then dump him, and that's the responsibility of the City of Sabine Tax Office and Michael himself.

One is the low working ability of the Tax Bureau of Sabine City, and the second is that Michael himself has too many problems. He has a bad temper and often goes berserk at work. Whether it is other people or his own, as long as he gets angry, he will explode immediately.

The public outcry this time was also related to him. Without any evidence to testify against Lynch, he directly locked Lynch as a criminal suspect and hurt Lynch many times, resulting in such embarrassing consequences. Pay for your actions.

At the same time, the state office also expressed the hope that the tax bureau of Sabine City will appease the emotions of the victims. Since they can't beat Lynch down with a stick, they will stand shoulder to shoulder with him and at least get it back. A little image.

face?

Sorry, the IRS is an important federal agency. What is the personal honor or disgrace?
In addition to this, the above meeting has been held to promote another statement, which happens to be exactly the same as what Lynch and Secretary Johnson said at the kebab shop.

Since the middle and high-level leaders decided to let Michael take the blame, they will definitely make his back fit tightly and tailor-made, and will not give him any chance to turn over. If he does not cooperate well with this matter, then the entire Sabine will be abandoned. The leadership of the city tax bureau.

At this stage, it is obvious that the director of the local tax bureau can not control the future direction. He can only cooperate with the above decision. He called Lynch in the morning, which means that he needs to cooperate with the tax bureau in public opinion recently. next action.

At the same time, it also hinted to him that he had already thought about the last time they were at the barbecue shop. This is an instinctive behavior of profit-seeking. Although I did not lead the development of the matter, when the outcome of the matter was in my favor, I would would confuse one's own value in the whole thing.

It's like Michael gets busy when he hears about a promotion opportunity, and if he succeeds, Director Johnson will definitely say that he has played a part in his success.

If you can reap additional benefits without affecting your own interests, why refuse?

With such a phone call, Lynch happened to talk about what he wanted to know about the head of the credit department of the bank, no matter which bank it was, as long as it was a bank.

And this is also a quid pro quo for his next cooperation with the tax bureau. He said this, "My recent work schedule is very full, and I may not be able to take care of the media interviews. In case there are some errors in synchronization , please be considerate!"

At this point, Director Johnson's heart can be said to be completely cruel and irreversible.

His private meeting with Lynch and the current internal trend made him have a strange feeling of "conspiring" with Lynch to kill Michael, which is not so obvious, but it is there, Lynch is one of his accomplices one. ,

Coupled with the pressure from his superiors, the old director who was very talkative in the tax system of Sabine finally reluctantly agreed to Lynch's request, and this was the noon meeting.

But I have to say that he feels disgusting, not only is Lynch disgusting, but he is also disgusting. He thought that he might be a person who is not very capable, not strong enough, but has a clear stance, but he didn't expect him to be like this." weak"!
"I won't say anything for you, that's what you said!" Looking at Lynch's natural calm, Director Johnson couldn't help but sarcastically.

Lynch didn't pay any attention to his cynicism, and even took out a small note from his pocket, put it in the napkin, and pushed it over.

Johnson frowned slightly. He took the napkin and took out a note with two lines of numbers from a typewriter, "What do you mean?"

Lynch smiled, "I heard that the banks in Langley are de-alphabetic. They think that the combination of numbers and letters will add too much burden to the work. I think the six major banks should also consider this. Do."

The bank accounts of the six major banks in the federation are all "custom accounts", most of which are a combination of numbers and letters, which actually increases the workload, makes the work slow, and is prone to errors.

When Director Johnson was about to continue to ask what it meant, he suddenly clenched his fists. There is no doubt that this note plus Lynch's words can confirm that this is a bank account from Langley's side.

Langley is a neutral country, known as a haven for tax evasion, and is naturally full of various financial crimes, and some cases also involve the Federation.

He stared at Lynch closely, his expression was a bit fierce, "This is a bribe, you are insulting me!"

Lynch shrugged, "You know, no one can stand alone (no one can be independent from anything, not interfere with the development of things, and not be affected by it), and I don't need you to do anything for me to damage the Federation. It's a matter of interest, it's just a gift between friends."

"Instead of showing this look now, I think you can take this thing and try to find out the flow of funds between accounts, maybe find my little handle, or donate those things to people who need them, like Speaking of Michael's wife."

"When he went to prison, Michael's family was on the verge of breaking up, his wife didn't work a day, his children will be released next year, they need money, and Michael can't give them..."

"We all know that Michael is innocent..." Lynch paused when he said this, and then he laughed, "Of course I don't mean that I... You know, I'm also innocent."

There was something suffocating in his eyes when he looked at Director Johnson, and he could see through people's hearts.

Just as Director Johnson was suffering at this time, he had to do something because of the guilt from "betrayal", Lynch's words stimulated him, and also activated his inexplicable "responsibility".

Since there is no way to change the status quo to give Michael a result that may be just in the eyes of Commissioner Johnson, then take care of his family, after all, his wife and his children need money.

When a person tries to heal their guilt, they do a lot of stupid things.

In this brief silence, Joe Grimman appeared ahead of schedule, and Director Johnson had no way to return the note to Lynch. He believed that Joe Grimman would know what was written on the note even if he only saw it for a moment. What, he didn't dare to take the risk.
