Chapter 185185 Final Chapter (9)
Lu Xuan only stayed in the cell for two days before being taken out.
Unlike ordinary prisoners, he lived in a separate room and even received normal prison meals. Everyone thought that he would take the initiative to contact a lawyer and request bail during this period.
In this way, the police can use this incident to shift the blame and clarify the matter clearly.
The problem is - this kid is too adaptable. He just "cooperates with the investigation" and never asks for bail. Instead, he stays in jail honestly. While there is an uproar outside, this kid lies in bed and sleeps leisurely, without any sense of urgency.
Lu Xuan can afford to waste time, but Mo Wen and the police station can’t!
Look, Lu Xuan was respectfully invited out less than three days after he rested. The person who met him was Leo, the director in charge of this business.
As soon as they met, Leo had hot coffee brought to him. "Come on, Caesar, have some hot coffee."
Lu Xuan took his coffee, looked at him with a smile, and jokingly said, "Isn't this Director Leo? It's been a long time since we last met. I remember your daughter had a birthday party last time, and it was really lively. How is she now? Is she doing well?"
Leo nodded repeatedly and replied, "Okay, okay, all right, all right. If you want to see her, I'll arrange it for you later."
Lu Xuan raised the corners of his lips slightly, and said disapprovingly: "No, no, no, I don't know what my current status is. How can I do this? I just saw you and remembered some of the past. Now, I am in prison and a criminal suspect. I have to cooperate with the investigation in prison."
What is a good cooperative attitude? This is a good cooperative attitude!
Leo: "..."
Leo almost spat at him in his heart, just serve it to me!
Leo looked kindhearted. He waved his hand dismissively and said, "Well, we can investigate this case slowly. You've been in jail for a few days. Why don't you notify your lawyer to bail you out, so that these bastards won't be slow and waste your time."
Lu Xuan smiled and said, "How could that be? I'm happy to cooperate with the investigation. Besides, when you arrested me, you used an investigation warrant, which has been approved by many levels. How can I not cooperate? I can't just bail you out. I have to cooperate with the investigation."
Leo: "..."
At that moment, Leo felt like he had swallowed a fly, and the feeling was so unspeakable that he couldn't even describe it to others.
What do you call this? It’s easy to invite a deity, but hard to send it away!
The outside world was in chaos. They tried to issue an official clarification, but their explanation, which only avoided the important issues, was not enough to convince the public. Instead, it only fueled public opinion and made them extremely anxious.
He thought he had gotten a good job of getting familiar with the president, but he never expected that this guy was a hot potato. Just seeing the bloody conspiracy theories outside made his head buzz.
Lu Xuan's attitude was particularly straightforward. Why leave? I'll just stay here.
Leo: "..."
Seeing that Lu Xuan was unmoved by his soft words and persuasion, Leo gritted his teeth and emphasized, "Caesar, you don't know, you've been staying with me all this time, and there are a lot of rumors out there. Why don't you explain it to them?"
Lu Xuan took a leisurely sip of coffee and said nonchalantly, "What rumors? What's there to explain? I'm a criminal suspect now, so of course I have to cooperate with the investigation. How would I look if I went out like this? People would say your bureau has no organizational discipline."
Leo: "..."
Then let them scold us for being unorganized and undisciplined!
"Besides, how would I know what to say and what not to say?"
Seeing this, Leo rubbed his hands hurriedly and said anxiously: "It's okay, nephew, I can teach you!"
Lu Xuan smiled playfully, and jokingly said, "Yes, you can teach me, but whether I'm willing to learn or not is another matter. If there's nothing else, let me go back to my cell."
Leo: "..."
Okay, okay, you still want to rely on me, right?
Leo's eyes went dark again and again.
Don’t ask, asking is just being autistic!
Seeing that the two sides couldn't reach an agreement on the key issue, Leo hurriedly called Mervyn. He saw Mervyn with a worried look on his face and said distressedly, "Mr. Speaker, he refused to be released on bail and refused to cooperate with media interviews. What's going on?"
Mervyn's face darkened, and he angrily cursed, "Does that kid really think he's a piece of cake? He's even trying to make trouble at this critical moment! Can't you use force and give him a good beating?"
Leo: "..."
Mr. Speaker, is this what you said?
Leo couldn't help but emphasize, "Mr. Speaker, he is the legitimate son of the Custer family after all, and the successor that Bruno has repeatedly emphasized. If anything happens to him here, how will I explain it?"
Work is work. If he were to kill someone, he would probably not have a good ending!
Leo muttered in dissatisfaction, "What's more, if he goes out and asks for a medical examination, we won't be able to explain it. He's here with me. If something really happened, wouldn't it be a political persecution? No matter how we explain it, it will be like trying to cover up the truth. The conservatives won't miss this golden opportunity. They will definitely seize this opportunity and dig deeper. If we lose the midterm elections, the presidential election will definitely be brought forward."
Once someone turns the tables, this group of people will definitely be liquidated!
Politics is politics, how can we really torture the other party to extract a confession?
Once you lose your bottom line, if you dare to do something on the first day, others will dare to do something on the fifteenth day. What follows is a fight to the death. Everyone is in danger, and this is not just talk.
Leo was restrained in this regard.
After all, he was a man with a family to support. If he went too far today, he would surely face retribution tomorrow. Furthermore, the Castor family, to which Caesar belonged, was a prominent and aristocratic clan, and this boy was the direct heir to the family. If he took action, he would be making a mortal enemy!
To put it bluntly, work is work, and he doesn't deserve to take any risks!
Mervyn angrily cursed, "You coward! Call him over! I'll talk to him myself!"
Leo's eyes were rolling up his sleeves. What? You think you have a good reputation with him? Isn't this just a case of the other party laughing at you?
Leo complained in his heart, but he answered eagerly, "Okay, okay, I'll call someone for you."
The conversation between Lu Xuan and Mervyn lasted for a full hour. No one knew what they talked about. All they knew was that after the call, Leo gave Lu Xuan a certificate of innocence. Then Lu Xuan attended a press conference with Leo and explained the issues of public concern clearly.
What could possibly be wrong with the police? It was simply interns with no work experience who resorted to violent enforcement.
An investigation warrant? What investigation warrant? There's no such thing as an investigation warrant! That's a subpoena for the inquiry. They went out and got the wrong one.
Don’t say that, really don’t say that.
Lu Xuan looked so righteous, and the media all focused on the fact that Leo's rule was lax and full of mistakes.
Leo: "..."
Grass!
It really fits the saying, look at that pot, it's black and round.
I can’t carry it, I can’t carry it at all!
Leo was so angry that his face was distorted, but he still had to help and make excuses. His dissatisfaction was skyrocketing.
Mervyn had just finished handling this emergency public relations when Lieutenant General Joel came right on the heels, saying that the people on Savage Star were tough and the new commander did not understand local customs, which exacerbated racial conflicts and caused riots on Savage Star. As a result, most of the official newly built mining equipment was smashed and destroyed, resulting in a large number of injuries to military personnel. It was necessary to dispatch a commander familiar with the local area to deal with the emergency.
The implication is that this matter is not over yet!
You transferred Caesar out, now you have to transfer him back!
Lieutenant General Joel was afraid that they would not believe him, so he specially showed a video to show the "tragic situation" of the local "industrialized" factory. He also displayed internal data, showing that many staff members were injured and the commander was missing.
Joel emphasized, "If the chaos isn't rectified promptly, casualties will mount. More personnel will be deployed to suppress it. A commander familiar with local affairs can reduce manpower quotas and alleviate fiscal pressure. As long as factory output can be maintained, effective tax revenue can continue to be generated."
What this means is that the cost of replacing your personnel is extremely high. This is not something that can be solved by simply replacing the commander. Sending more people will increase the financial burden.
As the saying goes, before the army sets out, the food and supplies must go first!
The cost has risen suddenly, and the local people will hinder and slow down the progress. It is still unknown whether economic profit can be generated. But if Caesar goes there instead, the advantages will be huge.
First, the cost is low, and second, there is stable tax revenue to be paid.
To put it bluntly, these guys are jealous of Caesar's gold mine, but they forget that the local area is a tough nut to crack. The mid-term elections are just around the corner, and public opinion is boiling, which can give the new faction a taste of trouble at any time. They are annoyed by the mention of Caesar's name, and sending Caesar back to that remote place is in line with their immediate interests.
To put it bluntly, in politics there are only eternal interests, no eternal enemies.
As soon as Lu Xuan finished the long visit, he picked up his communicator and reported his safety to his relatives and friends one by one. However, the first call he made was still to Pei Qi.
"Pei Qi."
Pei Qi was so excited when he heard that familiar voice that he asked hurriedly, "Ah Xuan, where are you? Are you okay? Which direction should we go to rescue you?"
Hearing this, Lu Xuan chuckled softly. He jokingly said, "Stupid, I really have something to do. How can I call you? Okay, I'm already on my way home in a taxi. Let's talk about the details when we meet. Thank you for your hard work these past few days."
Hearing this, Pei Qi's tense heart relaxed a lot. He snorted softly, "Don't take it too seriously! We haven't settled our score yet!"
Hearing Pei Qi's annoyed voice, Lu Xuan smiled and responded repeatedly, "Okay, okay, I'll go and apologize right away."
"That's good to know!"
After the phone call ended, Lu Xuan's blue eyes stared at the neon lights outside, with the smile on his face still there. It seemed that this time, some people would lose both the wife and the army.
