Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Gray Coat


The investigation and trial of a series of corruption cases in Xixing Prefecture is nearing completion, and a public prosecution will be formally initiated.But at this moment, the chief prosecutor, Du Yin, found a very intriguing detail when sorting out the closing report.Four officials, including the former governor of West Star State, all mentioned a man who liked to wear a gray jacket during the interrogation.According to the confession of the former governor of Seoseong State, this man hooked up with his secretary shortly after he took office, and then used a lot of money to open the way, so that he still turned a blind eye after discovering that there were problems in the state policing system."

The first time I saw him, he was wearing a gray jacket."

The former governor denied any knowledge of the flow of police supplies into the hands of the Zephyr bandits.The former director of the Xixing Prefecture Police Department also confessed that he was instigated by a man to hand over the police supplies originally supplied to the municipalities under his jurisdiction to him for cash."

He was very ordinary-looking, but the two times I saw him, he was wearing a gray jacket."

The former director also denied any knowledge of the flow of police supplies into the hands of the Zephyr bandits.In the interrogation reports submitted by the judges, it was considered that this was an attempt by the officials to reduce the charges and clear the line between themselves and the Zephyr bandits, and therefore not enough attention was paid to it.But Doin believes it is unlikely that the officials colluded before their arrest.He separately restored the appearance of the man in the gray jacket described by the former governor and the former director, and found that the appearance was very similar, and he could basically be identified as one person.He took the trouble to show the puzzle to all the people, and found that there were nearly ten people, all of whom had seen the man.Doin's judgment was that their previous trial had overlooked a key figure who liked to wear a gray jacket that could be key to pulling West Star state officials into the water en masse.If the man in the gray jacket really exists, his role in this case and the impact on the officials involved in the case will inevitably affect the charges asserted by the Ministry of Justice when it indicted, and will also affect the subsequent trial and sentencing.As a judicial officer who has been practicing for more than 20 years, his attitude towards legal rigor to the point of stubbornness has almost become Duin's instinct.He decided to postpone the closure of a series of corruption cases in Xixingzhou, and personally flew to Xixingzhou to visit the 16th Division of Xixingzhou, which was responsible for exterminating the Xixing bandits at that time.With the cooperation of Solskjaer's division commander, Doin re-interrogated several captured Zephyr bandits, and sure enough, the Favonius bandits in charge of logistics confirmed that most of the horses, guns and other important materials of his bandit group came from the supply and transportation of a group of unknown people.Among the leaders, he has been seen wearing a gray jacket several times.But through the comparison of the puzzles, the man in the gray jacket in the mouth of the Zephyr bandit is not the same person as the man in the gray jacket seen by the officials.It's just that the style of the gray jacket is exactly the same.There are many people in the Federation who like to wear gray jackets, but jacket styles are ever-changing.In the same incident, two groups of people were found wearing the exact same style of gray jackets.Duin has reason to believe that such a gray jacket has a high probability of being the symbol of an organization.After returning to Fort St.

John from Weststar State, Doin wrote a report that he presented to the Department of Justice, in which he put forward his hypothesis that he suspected that an organization had played a role behind the series of corruption cases in Weststar State.This group is identified by a gray jacket, and has a deep connection with the fallen officials of Xixing Prefecture and the Zephyr bandits.It's just not known for the time being what their motivation is for doing so.He applied for a stay of the series of corruption cases in West Star State, and instead launched an investigation into the gray-clad organization.………… A week later, two men walked into Doin's office.He recognized one of them at a glance as the minister's secretary."

Mr.

Minister, I invite you to attend an important meeting."

The minister's secretary said to him politely.The Ministry of Justice building is a boxy building with many boxy windows.The room next to the window was bright, and the windowless walkway and staircase were dark.Duin followed the minister's secretary through the long black rumbling corridor, and when he pushed open the door of the minister's office, he was not used to the sudden brightness.When his eyes adjusted to the light in front of him, he found that in the small conference room of the minister's office, his immediate boss, the Federal Justice Minister Bondal, was sitting in the second seat.He recognized the man sitting in the main seat as Marco José, chairman of the Federal Security Council.At the beginning of its establishment, the entire federation made great efforts to bring the whole society into the orbit of the rule of law.In addition to meticulous legislative work, another huge problem is that in a country with a large number of cultivators, the requirements for law enforcers are particularly high in order to maintain the authority of the law.As a result, a special body was created in the Federation, the Federal Security Council.The agents of the UNSC are the most powerful link in the entire state apparatus of the Federation.Theoretically speaking, the Joint Security Committee is also responsible for the supervision of discipline in the military system and the maintenance of military discipline, and even has the power to mobilize local garrisons to deal with local security problems in the Federation.However, since the Second World War, the military has become increasingly powerful, and it is difficult for the UNSC to intervene in the discipline of the army, except in the case of a vicious incident such as the assassination of the heir of the Stuttgart family, which angers the entire federal leadership.And the corresponding work became communication and coordination between the government and the military.So it may seem that the UNA is a buffer zone for conflicts between the federal military and the government, but in fact, the UNA is the last barrier for the federal government to resist the interference of military forces in politics.The head of this department, Marco José, is himself one of the few legendary powerhouses in the entire Federation.At this time, the legendary powerhouse was looking at Duyin with a pleasant face and said to him, "Prosecutor Duin, the contents of the report you submitted last week are very valuable. ”Doin leaned over and nodded to him in humble thanks.Marco José said, "Let's make a long story short, Prosecutor Doin, I now ask for your opinion on behalf of the Federal Security Council: Would you like to take a break from your current job and join the Federal Security Council's Special Investigation Unit to take charge of the investigation of the Gray Jackets that you report on?"

”"I'm willing to take charge of the investigation of the Gray Jackets," Doin asked, a little confused, "but why does this work have to require me to leave my current job?"

”"I can give you a little bit of background, but," Marco José said solemnly, "Prosecutor Doin, what you hear next is federal level 2 secret, and if you order anyone else to know without authorization, you will be held legally responsible, do you know it?"

”"Yes."

Doin nodded."

In December last year, there was an assassination attempt against Leonardo Stuttgart, the second heir of the Stuttgart family, in the UNSC special training school.""

A special company of the Northern Military Region, composed entirely of warriors, was the executor of the assassination.Larbo, the former chief of staff of the Northern Military Region and who was in charge of teaching military theory at the school at the time, was the mastermind of the assassination. ”"Yes, Lieutenant General Larbo, who died of a violent illness at the end of last year, actually died by suicide.In addition to Larbo, the personnel involved in the assassination in the Northern Military Region have also been arrested, but we found that in addition to the Northern Military District, there is a mysterious third party involved in the operation. ”"Leonardo Stuttgart was nearly killed when he was sniped by a school sentry while being hunted.But this sentry had no intersection with the Northern Military District.Before his death, Larbo also admitted that someone in the school had provided them with information about Leonardo Stuttgart, which led them to choose the most opportune time for the assassination. ”"The sentry was killed on the spot by Professor Magny of the Special Training School, and we searched his home afterwards and found a gray jacket.""

At first we thought it was just an ordinary set of clothing, until we saw the report you submitted, and we found that the gray jacket of the sentry was exactly the same as the gray jacket on the corpse found by the Western 16th Division in the wilderness near the town of Tarta in terms of color and style.""

We suspect that the sentry, with the gray jackets you found, belongs to the same organization.They were involved not only in the West Star State series of corruption cases, but also in the murder of Leonardo Stuttgart.So, we decided that we had to find out about this organization. ”"But because the investigation involves a federal second-class classified incident, involving a conflict between the federal military and the government that is not suitable for disclosure, we want the investigation to be conducted in strict secrecy, so we need to seconded you to the Joint Security Commission, I hope you can understand.""

And I must stress to you the gravity of this matter: we believe that this organization is deliberately and multifacetedly undermining the security of the Federation.Once we have conclusive evidence, we will characterize this organization as a terrorist organization."

Preventing and combating terrorist organizations is the unshirkable responsibility of every member of the federal judiciary.""

Yes, Your Excellency."

Du Yin responded.
