"Did Chapp speak?", Lani slumped on the couch at the end of the day's work, exhausted physically and mentally from his busy work, mainly mentally.

He had to maneuver between the difficult lawyers, trying to extract something from the people they were representing, though it was limited and most of the time to no avail.

It seems that Chap has become an important core in solving the case, and Lani feels that he should turn around and continue to focus on getting Chap to speak.

This time, he communicated with the Justice Department that if Chap was willing to cooperate with the investigation, they would give Chap a pardon guarantee and ensure his safety until the trial was over.

As for after?

That's his own business.

"That ......", the agent he was facing was a little embarrassed and his face was not good, which made Lani realize that something unexpected might have happened, and he immediately sat up straight, his expression becoming serious.

Under his gaze, the agent could only tell the truth, "Chap is dead......

Lani didn't get angry immediately, but frowned and asked, "How did he die, did the murderer catch him?", in fact, Chap's death at this time is not necessarily a bad thing, because Chap's refusal to cooperate also makes everyone hurt their brains.

If Chap's death is exchanged for an assassin who is likely to speak, it is also a positive for the investigation, especially when Rani thinks that this may be Dorin's handiwork, and there is a hint of calmness.

Doolin's intervention would take out the unlucky guy who was caught between Doolin and Maggs, and it would be a good thing for him, but he wouldn't show it.

The agent continued to be embarrassed, "We're not sure if he was murdered, the medical examiner has done a basic test, and they believe that Chap was choked to death." Today's meal bag was a little hard and dry, stuck in his throat. ”

Chap's natural saliva and esophagus fluids moistened the bread, making it swell, destroying some of the subtle evidence, and with the disappearance of the bald cook, it was impossible for the Bureau of Investigation to take all the blame on itself.

They wouldn't admit to Rani that Chap's death was entirely the result of the incompetence of the local Bureau of Investigation, and that they needed to exonerate themselves, so it was clear that an accident was the best excuse. Of course, they didn't give up on tracking down the bald cook, and they also reported the matter to Rani.

After giving the local bureau of investigation a "waste" assessment, Lani summarized the news and reported it to Mags, who gave him a surprising reply of asking him to contact Doolin.

This reply can be said to be very unexpected, because Lani always thought that this was a sign of discord between Maggs and Dorin, but what he didn't expect was that behind this investigation, Doolin was indeed standing, but Doolin was on the side of the investigation team.

The increasingly complicated situation began to drain Lani's brain, and he called Durin as Mags had instructed.

"That's the case, and now our investigation is at an impasse. His Excellency Maggs thought you might be able to make a breakthrough in our investigation, so this call was made. Rani's tone was not intense, on the contrary, it was very flat.

This may have something to do with his status, the Reich Tax Administration itself is a somewhat inconspicuous department, at least in the past. It wasn't until the establishment of the special zone in Otis City that it was slightly better, and the huge amount of tax revenue received from Otis City every year made the Imperial Tax Administration look a lot better, and they couldn't solve all the needs of the Empire's finances every year, but at least some of them were able to solve it, which made Lani's life a little better.

But if you want him to take the initiative to solve this case, he may not be very careful, and from the current situation, the personnel involved in this case are very complicated. There are leaders of local gangs, well-known entrepreneurs in the city of Otis and even in the middle of the empire, as well as politicians in the imperial capital and beyond.

It's a hornet's nest, and once you really poke a shot, you'll definitely sting yourself out.

Mags's determination to reform the tax was unprecedented, but the resistance was also enormous, and as the head of the Reich's General Tax Administration, Rani felt a huge crisis, both political and unofficial.

He is not very willing to sit in this position, because in the next year he will offend a lot of people, very, very many people, including some big entrepreneurs, big aristocrats, big business, and a large number of politicians who are supported by these people and represent the interests of these people.

Maggs can retire next year and take all the problems off himself, but he Lani is still young, what will he do after he offends so many people?

Now that Maggs is holding him back, he may not have a good time, don't you see that those crazy people have already dared to assassinate important suspects in the Investigation Bureau?

Losing his current job was already his most tolerant speculation about his outcome, and he even felt that someone would take revenge on him for his actions this year by killing him.

Rani was indeed excited for a while when Maggs announced the tax reform, but as the head of the Imperial Tax Administration, he was well aware of the complexity. In the future, the power of the Imperial Tax Office will certainly be much greater than it is now, but for now, the difficulty and risk they face are unprecedented.

Not every politician will have great ideals and pursuits, great people are always there, but there are more ordinary people in this society.

After listening to Lani's account of everything, the only thing Dührin had to feel was that he was speechless, he had done his job as a babysitter, almost putting all the evidence in the hands of the investigation team and telling them how to solve the case.

Under such circumstances, this group of stupid beeps was able to do things like this, which was indeed beyond Durin's expectations.

At the same time, he is aware of the impact of Rani's inactivity in all things.

After a moment of silence, he replied, "I'll take care of the rest of the matter, and you guys will fully cooperate with Mayor Webster of City Hall from tomorrow onwards." ”

After hanging up, Durin called Webb, in which Webber mocked the investigation team's work, describing their work this week as "carving shit into shit", apparently knowing that Chapp had died.

Durin did not comment on the work of the investigation team, which was not suitable, "Tomorrow at dawn, according to the list on the photo, arrest everyone, ignore their protests, and go straight to the shot." ”

There was silence on the other end of the line, and after a moment, Webb cautiously asked, "What reason should I use to arrest them?"

"Violation of local laws of the City of Otis and suspected of using cash to participate in gambling!"
