On March [-], [-], Attorney General Harlan F. Stone stepped down, and on March [-], [-], John G. Sargent took office. Thus, the Attorney General completed an ordinary change of term.

The historical John Sargent served as Attorney General for four years, and this time, his tenure may depend on his ability to discern people.

On March [-], [-], Coolidge was re-elected as President of the United States and broadcast his inaugural address live to the nation for the first time in American history.He said the American people had finally reached "a state of happiness rarely seen in human history," and that his government would never interfere with such a perfect state of nature.

Edgar sneered at this, because Coolidge's inaction at this time caused the subsequent economic crisis in the United States. It was just that Herbert Hoover was unlucky to become the president of the United States when the United States was about to collapse, so he was always arrested. Come out and say something, because history will always remember those who directly caused mistakes, without thinking about the source.

Seeing Edgar sneering at the newspaper he was holding, Tolson couldn't help wondering, "Is President Coolidge's inaugural declaration funny? You've never done that before." Edgar was always calm, except for certain times.

"A broken system is always caused by an important part first, and the collapse of a company is caused by a leader. In many cases, the success or failure of a country depends on the actions of the president." Edgar just sighed, but if He would definitely not be willing to let Edgar take that position. In Edgar's view, being the President of the United States is not a cost-effective thing.

"You're not satisfied with Coolidge being president of the United States?" Tolson asked.

"Of course not," Edgar denied Tolson's words and said with a smile, "I'm very satisfied with Coolidge being the president of the United States. Although the U.S. economy will collapse sooner or later, the past few years are indeed booming and a good time to make money. You can try try."

Edgar did not hope that the U.S. economy would not collapse at all. Instead, he expected the U.S. economy to collapse on time as in history. Recently, the bigwigs on Wall Street seemed to have already started to take action.

In his previous life, Edgar didn't know much about American history, except for a few major events, but now Edgar has an investigation bureau in his hand, and if he wants to know any news, someone will naturally check it. Some time ago Someone found out that someone on Wall Street was in contact with Hitler to contact the memory of his previous life, and Edgar probably understood what was going on.

As a defeated country in the First World War, Germany cannot have the ability to start a world war with its own strength, but if it has the support of Wall Street in the United States, then this matter makes sense. Of course, Wall Street The bigwigs may just want to make money, although they may lose in the end, but this is indeed the source of World War II.

Tolson naturally didn't know what Edgar was thinking, and this was Edgar's only advantage as a latecomer, foretelling history while others were still in the fog.

Not wanting to have too much communication with Tolson on this matter, Edgar took the key and said to Tolson: "Let's go, it is said that our new minister will arrive today, it would be bad if we are late .”

Seeing that Edgar didn't want to say anything, Tolson didn't ask any more questions. Whether he was a subordinate or a future boyfriend, if the other party didn't want to talk about it, it would not be a good thing to force him to say it, at least in the other party's heart. impression.

Picking up the glasses that had been on the table for a long time, Tolson put them on. As soon as he put on the glasses, Tolson became a well-behaved staff member, still a clerical worker.

Xu knew that the silver-white car was indeed too conspicuous. Every time Edgar drove a black car when he was working, and Edgar often drove very steadily when driving in the city. , will not be particularly prominent nor particularly lagging behind, just follow the trend.

This is Edgar's way of life. He has to be himself when he is outside, but he has to restrain himself as much as possible when he is working. This is not to say that he is forced by something, but a principle. Edgar behaves by himself the rules.

It may be that Edgar and Tolson came too early. There are not many people in the investigation bureau at this time, only a few people who must arrive early have already arrived.

About an hour later, people from the Bureau of Investigation arrived one after another. Edgar sorted out the documents he found on the desktop and held them in his hands before going out. He came to Harlan Stone's office and tapped lightly. He knocked on the door and said, "Mr. Sargent, this is Edgar Hoover."

The Bureau of Investigation at this time was far less famous than later generations. Naturally, it was impossible for the government to build a building specially for the Bureau of Investigation, and every time the so-called entrance of the Bureau of Investigation was just a name. In fact, this place not only The Bureau of Investigation is a department, so it is not surprising to find the position of the Minister of Justice in a building.

"Come in."

Hearing the voice of agreement inside, Edgar pushed open the door. Not long after Harlan Stone left, the place has changed drastically. Everything has been replaced except the potted flowers by the window and the bookshelf behind him. There are no office documents even on the desktop, only some personal things.

It only took a second or two for Edgar to look at the person in front of him, but he had roughly figured out the character and hobbies of the person in front of him, and said respectfully: "Mr. Sargent, I am Edgar Hoover, Director of the Bureau of Investigation. I want to hand over the information of the Bureau of Investigation during this time to you."

Perhaps it was because he had just taken office, and Sargent looked in a good mood. He walked up to Edgar and checked the information in Edgar's hand, and said with a smile, "Although you have been working in the Ministry of Justice for a long time, but in front of me You are still a young man, and you were able to explain things when I first took office, and it can be seen that you are really good, very efficient and hardworking."

"Thank you, Mr. Sargent, for the compliment. This is what I should do." Covering the sarcasm at the corner of his mouth, Edgar said sincerely, for Edgar, he was just doing business. As for whether this is flattering, Edgar Jia doesn't think so. No matter what, one should have a heart for the boss. If one treats the boss with the attitude of the prisoner, then no matter what you do, you will not do it well.

John Sargent was not thin, but he was not fat either. He looked like an ordinary middle-aged man, but there are often no idiots in politics, and Sargent was no exception. With such a precise appearance, it is clear that Edgar will not make friends with others on purpose.

Sitting back in his seat, Sargent smiled and said, "Hoover, your Bureau of Investigation seems to be very popular these days. It seems that Congress may consider some proposals that are beneficial to your Bureau of Investigation."

It has been a long time since Edgar was called Hoover. He was not used to being called by Sargent at first, but he quickly realized it and replied: "Mr. Sargent, the Bureau of Investigation belongs to the Department of Justice. Isn’t the Bureau of Investigation being in the limelight the Ministry of Justice being in the limelight?” Edgar said slowly, with no ups and downs in his tone.

"However, I think the people now only know that there is a Bureau of Investigation but not that there is a Ministry of Justice. Alas, I am old, and I don't understand what the young people are thinking." But expressed dissatisfaction with the Bureau of Investigation.

Edgar's expression remained unchanged, and he said seriously: "Whether the public knows it or not, the Bureau of Investigation is under the Ministry of Justice. This cannot change the fact. I just hope to do more things for the public."

Sargent patted the table when he heard Edgar's words, and said loudly: "You mean that I don't think about the public, and I specifically target your investigation bureau? You don't even look at who you are, but you are just a small It's just the director of the investigation bureau, what qualifications do I have to let me target you?"

Edgar clenched his hands slowly, his bones creaked, and finally raised his head and said: "Mr. Sargent, I didn't mean that, but as the director of the investigation bureau, if I don't do things for the people, then I will be the director of the investigation bureau." The director is not interesting anymore, don’t you think so, sir?”

"Hehe, of course, you are right. It is my fault. I also hope that your investigation bureau can do a good job, so that the people will have greater hope for the American government." Sargent seemed happy to see something. The thing that laughs is very real.

"Please stop joking, Mr. Sargent." Edgar bowed his head.

"No, no, I don't like joking. By the way, Hoover, I have a case in my hand. I think since your Bureau of Investigation is so capable, then this case will be handed over to you. I don't think you will let it go." I'm disappointed." Sargent took a file from a desk drawer and handed it to Edgar.

Edgar took over the file and did not open it, but said: "Don't worry, Mr. Sargent, we will try our best to solve the case."

Sargent glanced at the file and asked, "Aren't you going to take a look? Maybe I'm asking you, you can regret it if you read it now, but you can't regret it if you take it away."

Edgar wanted to open it after hearing Sargent's words, but put it down after thinking about it, and said with a smile: "It's okay, Mr. Sargent, I believe you won't make things difficult on purpose, you'd better go back and look at it."

"That's good," Sargent nodded. "You can go. I hope your investigation bureau will not let me down."

Edgar nodded and went out the door, and then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He had to impress his impulsive and sloppy image in the hearts of many people, otherwise he might be noticed by others in the future, and that would not be fun. up.

Opening the file that was taken out of the office, Edgar smiled when he saw the things on it. It turned out to be the case. No wonder this matter was handed over to him. It was really tricky. After all, this case involved the same as the previous case. Interests.

In the Office of the Minister of Justice, Sargent leaned back on his chair, thinking about the wise news he heard from others about how wise the director of the Bureau of Investigation is, and shook his head with a smile. It seems that rumors are often inaccurate. The director is not supercilious, I don't know why people care about it, but now it seems that there is really no need to care too much.

The author has something to say: there is no list this week, so I can relax a bit, but I don’t know why, but I always feel that when I relax, I feel bored, tragedy!
