Turning out of the Liufeng Slope Gate and passing through a path hidden behind the winter forest, you will come to Charter Square, which is only a minute and a half of walking.
There was no one in the clubhouse to follow Xu Le, and there were no eye-catching figures around the lawn covered by thin snow.
Things have developed to this point, and Xu Le knows very well that there is no need for Mrs.
Tai to worry that she will stay away lightly.
There are benches next to the lawn, and the iron armrests with anti-rust technology have been carved into intricate patterns, and these benches are the favorite leisure places of the people in the capital.
He picked one at random, brushed away the remaining snow on it, sat down heavily, pursed his lips vigorously, and continued to sip on the cigarette, and in a few moments the cigarette burned out, and he lit another one.
Whether it is the official residence of the President's Office, the Parliament Hill Building, the Ministry of Finance Building, or this empty Charter Square, the post-modernist style is extremely rare, and it is naturally not like any intersection in Hong Kong, with the lights towering into the sky, and the three-dimensional light curtain flashing the night into day, which is bustling and dizzy.
Looking beyond the corner of the majestic statue of the Group of Five in the center of Charter Square, and falling on the far corner, there is the only suspended two-dimensional light curtain in Charter Square, which is about 70 meters wide and extremely large, and the permission that Federal Television has obtained from the Federal Management Council with great effort many years ago.
At this time, the winter has sunk to Mochou Mountain, the sky is gradually darkening, and the news picture on the light curtain in the super large air in the distance is much clearer.
Today's news is still focused on the news that Ross and Medellín announced their withdrawal from the election, and the reporters are responding to the reaction of the people on various federal planets, and the supporters of Congressman Medellín have gradually accepted this fact after initial disappointment and even anger, because Congressman Medellín did not withdraw from the word in anger whether it was in front of the Ministry of Justice building or in front of the parliament building, but very sincerely made a big hat of extreme justice and glory and put it on his head.
In the news footage, Congressman Medellín is sincerely praising Congressman Pabul, the people who are striking in the four states around the mountains are praising Congressman Medellín with tears, the parliamentary spokesman is praising the mature surname of the federal people, the Jingzhou Chamber of Commerce and Industry is praising the wisdom of the federal parliament in terminating the hearing, some experts and scholars are praising the stance of the federal business community in this dispute, and a certain ministry of the federal political axe is praising the objective performance of academics in this turmoil Everyone is praising and blessing each other, this is a united federation, a perfect federation, where someone wins, but no one loses, someone withdraws, but no one retreats.
But no one thought of the editorial department of the Capital Daily that caused this turmoil, the agents of the Medellin task force of the Ministry of Justice, and the military witnesses who came from S2 Qinglong Mountain but became clowns.
Xu Le lit another cigarette, and subconsciously looked back, the winter forest was covered, and in the depths of the lawn, there was a flying eaves and white snow looming in the middle, which was the Liufeng Slope, where the upper echelons of the Federation gathered.
However, the place where he is located is Charter Square, the most familiar place for the people of the Federation, the two places are very close to each other, and the classes or worlds they represent are completely different, very different.
Going forward, he is the second of the youngest lieutenant colonels in the Federation, the youngest first-class technical director of Guoke, and he is destined to become a close partner and subordinate of the president's Tai Zhiyuan, with a bright future that Donglin orphans can never imagine.
Moving forward, he is a federal fugitive, a wanted target of the Charter Office, or hiding in the dark for a lifetime, or dying at gunpoint, alone, unable to see the dangerous road ahead.
Xu Le is a stone, for him, this choice is not a difficult thing, in fact, he has already made his own decision before coming to Liufeng Slope today.
Even if the folder handed over by Steward Jin was so heavy, so shocking, and dug out his biggest secret, he still wouldn't have the slightest fear, the big deal was to change the chip on the back of his neck, run away, kill and kill it, and continue the persistence of a small person.
However, Vigol was in distant Bermuda, under the control of the other side.
This alone doomed him to smoke silently on the bench behind the snow at this time, and could not react more directly.
The cigarette butts were inserted into the snow and extinguished, and six or seven cigarette butts were neatly inserted at his feet, and he still hadn't thought clearly.
He squinted his eyes at the small crowd in the square, and occasionally thought: That's it, in the face of the huge shadow of the federal society, there is really not much point in making any resistance.
In fact, since he knew that Zhang Xiaomeng was still alive and deceived himself for a whole year, he was already tired and didn't want to pay attention to anything.
Under the collective unconscious of yearning for peace and stability, no one cares about the truth of the Medellín project anymore, and no one wants to remember the innocent deaths and injuries in the assassination incident in Linhai Prefecture and the terrorist incident in the concert in Huanshan Prefecture However, a group of people came from the other side of Charter Square, this group of people of different ages, men and women, wearing thick clothes, holding candles in their hands, holding a few photos about half a meter square, the number of people was very small, it looked sparse, there was no momentum, compared with the George Carlin Youth Army that surrounded the Ministry of Justice building a few days ago, these demonstrators looked very lonely.
The small number of demonstrators was silent, probably knowing that in the current social environment, what they insist on believing in is not what the vast majority of people want to see.
The picture they were holding was small and a little blurry from a distance, but Xu Le could see it clearly, and the name of the deceased in the terrorist attack at the concert was written on it.
In the rest of the pictures, the faces of children, these children who went to see the idol concert, died under the collapsed stands, after the cold body was dug out, the immature face with closed eyes was covered with black gray dust, the long eyelashes were quietly placed, and a few of them were broken, some were dead blue, some were pale, but they were not as ruddy as children should be, because they were all dead.
The silent procession walked over, Xu Le watched silently, then stood up, took out the cash on his body, put it in the fundraising box, and said a few words to the leader of the procession.
After Congressman Medellín announced his withdrawal from the general election, the crowd that had originally supported Congressman Pabul and stood on the opposite side of the George Carlin Youth Army dispersed, probably because the people were simply sympathetic to the weak and unwilling to beat the water dogs, so there are very few people who still accuse Medellín of being a baby killer.
"I believe the report of the capital's newspaper, but the people in the four states around the mountains do not believe it, even though they are the biggest victims of this terrorist attack."
The organizer of the march was a middle-aged man, he took Xu Le's cigarette and took two puffs, and said with some sadness: "The relatives of the deceased of these children have no money to come by spaceship from S2, but they just chose a representative, but what makes me even more frightened is that some of the families of the deceased still think that the incident was done by the military, and it has nothing to do with Medellin, an old bastard." ” Xu Le didn't say anything, the middle-aged man patted him on the shoulder to express his gratitude, and then took Liao Liao's companions and began another detour along the Charter Square after the snow.
Xu Le sat back on the bench and inserted the burning cigarette butt from his lips into the snowdrift at his feet, it was already the ninth, and he hadn't thought it through yet.
After lowering his head and thinking for a moment, he raised his head and said to Bai Yulan beside him: "I have no smoke, do you still have it?"
I don't know when, the white magnolia that has been waiting for him at the main gate of Liufeng Slope has come to his side.
Bai Yulan lifted the black hair on her face with a finger, shook her head, and said after a moment of silence: "I have already heard some things you asked me to inquire about just now, the specific situation of the Ministry of Justice is not clear, and the task force has withdrawn or not, but no one knows how to deal with that evidence." ” Xu Le scratched his head, took out a cigarette butt from the snowdrift at his feet, and found that it was impossible to light it again, so he had to tear the material in his filter mouth in a daze in boredom.
Secretary Bai is good at killing people, but after all, he is in a different class, and it is indeed difficult to find out these things.
"I don't know anything about the news in the capital."
Magnolia stood aside, looking at Xu Le's lowered head, although she didn't know much about what happened before, she roughly understood that what confused Xu Le at this time must be related to the Medellin project.
At this time, the phone in Xu Le's arms rang, he didn't look at the caller ID on it, and directly asked, "What's the news?"
"The dismissal of Bob, the editor-in-chief of the Capital Daily, and the super clause cited by the board of directors, compensated him ten times his salary, and believe me, the editor-in-chief will have a hard time finding a suitable job in five years."
On the other end of the phone, Li Xiaotong, the seventh young master of the Li family, sighed and said: "As for the chief reporter you care about, Mr.
Wood, unfortunately suffered a car accident today, and the person did not die, but he has been admitted to the hospital. ” Xu Le held the phone and didn't move.
"In the current environment, any attempt to undermine the stability and reconciliation of the Federation will be dealt a powerful blow by a myriad of parties uniting together, and in fact you know that my family should contribute the most to this blow."
Li Xiaotong continued to say calmly: "According to the news I got here, you have passed the assessment of Mrs., as long as you are willing, you can enter our circle in the corresponding capacity, in this case, I advise you to calm down." ” "Thank you."
Xu Le said seriously, he and Young Master Li Qi should not be friends, but stakeholders, he is the target of Li Xiaotong's key investment, but at this moment, the other party is still willing to give him help in these aspects, it should be said that he is full of sincerity.

Li Xiaotong didn't say anything more, hung up the phone, sat on the sofa and was silent for a long time, at the beginning, he mainly wanted to invest in the relationship between Xu Le and the Tai family, but later he mainly wanted to invest in Xu Le, because he was optimistic that this person was like Lin Banshan back then, and had the ability to break the rules, but at this time he had some bad omens Even if Lin Banshan himself, in the face of the collective consciousness of the Federation from top to bottom, from the powerful to the people, he must not dare to try the edge at all.
Xu Le seemed to have something else in mind.
One person, no matter how powerful he is, is just one person in the face of the entire Federation.
In the editorial office of the capital, Bob took one last look at his office, smiled bitterly, and left the building on Carbine Street with the sad eyes of many subordinates.
Walking out of the main entrance of the newspaper, Editor-in-Chief Bob glanced back at the eclipse mark on the side of the building, thinking about the past in these days, there was not much regret in his heart, all he had in his heart was peace.
As a media practitioner, you can do what you should do in order to have peace of mind and a clear conscience.
It's a pity that I still overestimate the power of the news, underestimate the power of the ubiquitous network of federal society, and some time ago I said that I and those media were able to launch a relentless attack on the Medellín parliamentarians, because the other big force in the federation needs to do it themselves, and when the two of them have already reached an agreement and distributed the benefits, they will be abandoned.
The power of journalism lies in exposing the facts and informing the people, but it is a pity that in this regard, the old guy in Medellín has enough incitement power.
The dismissal of the newspaper was a matter of course, and it was probably a necessary means for the political axe to appease the fanatical supporters of Medellín.
It's a pity for Wood, this guy originally wanted to continue his report on the Internet, but he was hit by a speeding car and broke his legs It's a pity.
Editor-in-chief Bob had a slight pain in his forehead, a cold feeling in his heart, smiled bitterly, got into the car, and said to the driver: "Go to the hospital." ” The Ministry of Justice building, not far from Charter Square, was in a similar bleak mood at this time.
Simultaneous directives from the Presidency and the Federal Assembly forced the Medellín task force to suspend its investigation, and after the resignation of the Minister of Justice, the Inspector General had to move out of his office.
Xiao Wenjing and Xu Songzi walked out of the Ministry of Justice building, and were blown by the cold wind blowing in their faces, and almost shivered a few times.
He glanced at Xu Songzi's flushed face, and smiled wryly and tied the collar of the trench coat for her.
Through this period of working day and night, this pair of seniors of the First Military Academy has become more familiar and trusting than at the beginning.
"I should be transferred back to the Ministry of National Defense, what about you" Xu Songzi looked at him with a hint of worry, thinking of the things that Xiao Wenjing had secretly hidden after the order of the presidential palace was issued the day before yesterday, his mood was a little heavy.
"I should go back to the District Attorney's Office."
Xiao Wenjing lowered her head slightly, looked at the slush under her feet, suddenly frowned, and said: "The departure of Zhang Xiaomeng, an important witness, is obviously someone who has done something, if you can find her again, things may be able to take a turn for the better." ” "All the case files have been handed over to the presidential palace and then handed over to the central database for archiving, and the case has been closed."
Xu Songzi hugged his arms tightly and said softly: "No one can find Zhang Xiaomeng now, and if he does, it is estimated that he is also a corpse." ” "But in fact, there is a lot of evidence."
Xiao Wenjing's brows furrowed, and he said, "I still want to continue to investigate." ” Xu Songzi followed him forward, and after a long silence, he said, "If you need me, look for me at any time." ” Sharp brakes sounded beside the young prosecutors, and two black official cars drove quickly, sliding through the snow to a halt, blocking their way.
Several FBI officials in dark formal suits stepped out of the car, and one of them looked at Xiao Wenjing and said coldly: "Prosecutor Xiao, you are involved in a case of a bad surname at the end of November of the 67th year of the Xian calendar, please cooperate with our investigation." ” Xiao Wenjing's face was slightly pale, and she glanced at Xu Songzi, knowing that something was wrong, but she didn't know what was going on.
"I don't understand."
Xiao Wenjing looked at the FBI officials, frowned and reprimanded: "Even if there is a case, it should be the business of the police department, what does it matter to your FBI?"
"You're a federal justice officer, and the case is extremely egregious, so the FBI took over the case."
The official said coldly: "You are suspected of killing the silver girl, I don't think we need to discuss it on the street."
Xu Songzi glanced at Xiao Wenjing in amazement, of course she wouldn't believe it, and vaguely guessed that this matter must be related to the Medellin case, but why did the other party make this ridiculous accusation Xiao Wenjing's face was pale, but there was a trace of anger and excitement, he quickly thought of the poor little girl who asked for a ride when he went home last night, but could there be someone in the federation who would do such a disgusting and shameless trap He said angrily: "Shameless, what evidence do you have?"
"You can give your opinion, I'm just asking you to go back and get investigated."
The FBI officer scoffed, "Although your semen was not collected, it is possible that it was attempted, and I can remind you that your skin tissue was found in the victim's fingernails." ” Xiao Wenjing took a deep breath and didn't want to say anything more, but on this snowy evening, he thought of the sunny autumn when he was investigating the murder case in Hushan Road.
He is a prosecutor who greatly respects federal law, although the revocation of the Medellin case has made him begin to have a trace of doubt about the legal system of this society, but he still has confidence after all, but today in the face of that ridiculous and horrific charge, he naturally thought that in that sunny autumn, the young officer named Xu Le once told him that the law is like a toy in the hands of many big people.
"The latest news is that Wood had a car accident, and Xiao Wenjing in the task force was charged with a crime.
The situation is clear, the two of them are the most persistent, so they must be suppressed.
If you still insist, you will inevitably be suppressed by this kind of suppression.
On the other end of the phone, Zou Yu's voice was not as calm as usual so that it was a little indifferent, but with a slight anxiety, because she knew Xu Le's surname better than anyone else, and knew that this stinky stone was really unusual.
Xu Le's eyes looked at the nine cigarette butts like plum blossoms in the snowdrift at his feet, and listened to the latest news brought by Zou Yu in his ears, and his mood was heavy and lonely.
Shi Gongzi is not around, Tai Zhiyuan is not there, he is in the sea of more than 10 billion people in the Federation, so he can only trust Zou Yu, but even so, he still did not tell the other party that he is a fugitive from the Federation, and the handle has been firmly held in Mrs.
Tai's hands.
"Lin Banshan can't be contacted."
Zou Yu on the other end of the phone said quickly: "I asked someone to find Zhang Xiaohua from Nanke Prefecture, but even he didn't know where Lin Banshan had gone after a month of disappearance.
I don't know if you have anything urgent on the Bermuda side, but since I can't reach this person, I really can't do anything about it. ” Xu Le asked very seriously: "In addition to Lin Banshan, what other forces on the federal side can penetrate deep into the depths of Bermuda I want to find someone, to be precise, I want to save someone." ” "Lin Banshan is very strong in the Bermuda Triangle Star Domain, but the Federation's influence over there is extremely weak, he is an outlier, I really can't think of anyone else besides him."
Zou Yu was suddenly silent on the other end of the phone for a long time before he said slowly: "Of course, if you can find someone from the Xilin Military Region, this is another matter. ” The Xilin Military Region, the Fourth Military Region of the Federation, the front line between the Federation and the Empire, controls the spatial passage of the Federation into Bermuda, and has been controlled by the Zhong family, one of the seven major families of the Federation, for countless years.
In the universe of Haohan, the three major forces have their own side in the galaxy, the Bermuda Delta Star Domain is undoubtedly the weakest link among them, but it is also the most free and crazy world, with the resources and population of the Delta Star Field, it is very good to survive in the confrontation between the Federation and the Empire, in addition to proving that the people there are extremely strong survival ability, there must be a deeper reason.
When facing the Bermuda Star Field, whether it is the Federation or the Empire, it can be extremely powerful, but no one can really influence deeply, let alone control it.
The only exception is Lin Banshan, the prodigal son from the Seven Families of the Federation, who relied on life and death, long sleeves and good dancing, and spent six years in Bermuda's underground society to have his own special status and strong strength.
Knowing that Li Wei was in distant Bermuda, Xu Le's first thought was to rescue this friend who had grown up together since childhood, so he thought of seeking Lin Banshan's help through Zou Yu, although he also thought that Lin Banshan was a member of the Lin family after all, but a hurried encounter on the high-speed railway, I don't know why, he always felt that the man with his shoulders like a knife cutting a mountain peak was worth looking forward to.
However, Lin Banshan has been missing for a month, and now Xu Le has any other way to still have the Xilin Military Region.

Since even Lin Banshan can be found, why don't the people of the Xilin Military Region look for it, Xu Le knows that he is in a hurry to seek medical treatment, but he can't care so much.
He looked up and grabbed a handful of snow from his side and applied it to his face, calming his hot face a little.
Taking a deep breath, he drove away the figure of the little girl in a white nightdress in his mind, reached into the underwear pocket of his military uniform, and fumbled for a long time before he found a card that had been somewhat depreciated.
After receiving this card at the capital airport, he has been carefully kept, even when he was seriously injured and unconscious, this card did not leave his side, to this day, he can only pray that this card can be like the legendary magic card, summoning infinite magic gods.
After pulling out the string of numbers on the card, and after waiting for a long time, Xu Le whispered in a slightly hoarse voice: "Hello, I want to find Mrs.
Zhong." ” To be continued:
