0350 No one can say no in front of Lord Lynch
As Gap's eyes adjusted to the intense sunlight coming in through the huge floor-to-ceiling window, the world began to normalize as he saw it.
The man standing by the floor-to-ceiling window and looking back at him sideways finally successfully matched someone he remembered.
"Mr. Lynch......", the door closed behind him, and Gap glanced back, the prison guard standing outside the room.
The frosted glass on the door could still see his dutiful back, and in addition to Lynch, there was a person in the room who was supposed to be an agent or something.
Lynch walked over to the chair that had always belonged only to the warden and sat down, inviting Cap to sit across from him.
More than once, Gap had met the warden of the prison, a somewhat eerie man who was the king of this small kingdom.
The situation in the prison for felons is different from that of other places, where people are either sentenced to more than 10 years or more, or they are involved in important cases, such as political events.
This is also destined for the closed nature of this place, and what happens in it will not be known to the outside world until a long, long time later, if not ever.
Here, the warden is the heavens, and his rules are the rules to be followed by the prisoners, and he can even make provisions that violate the Federal Charter and the Basic Law of the Federation, and no one here will denounce him for doing things inappropriately, but only abide by them.
But today, there was another man sitting on the king's throne, which caused some confusion in Gap's understanding of Lynch's already lagging understanding.
His gaze was somewhat scattered across Lynch, looking down on the prison through the huge floor-to-ceiling window behind him.
The whole prison is in this window, and the wide field of view allows anyone to take the whole prison into view.
At the same time, anyone who sits in front of the warden will see a very special picture of the prison becoming the background of the person sitting in the chair behind the desk.
When he first saw the picture here, he thought it was a little funny, he always heard about all kinds of prison in society, and they were arrogant to this extent, but after spending some time in prison, he realized that this was a prison, a real prison.
"You may be confused about my intentions......", Lynch's words made Gap's attention return to him from the scenery behind him, and seeing Gap's eyes focus again, Lynch bowed slightly, and continued, "This time I'm here to ask you some questions on behalf of the special adviser to the Federal National Security Council of Bayler. ”
Hearing this, Gap understood why Lynch was sitting here.
To put it simply, the Security Committee has the power to intervene in any issue that may endanger national security, whether it is domestic or foreign.
They had so much power and privileges that even the warden had to bow down to the young man.
It's just that Gap is curious, how Lynch became a special adviser to the Security Committee,
"You are not one of those inconspicuous people below, you should understand the peculiarity of the Security Committee. ”
Gap nodded.
"It looks like our communication will go smoothly......", Gap's acquaintance was also expected by Lynch, he paused slightly, gave each other a buffer time, a time to prepare, and then asked, "According to our investigation, the Ristian Group and the previous Market-Guide Group have both transferred benefits to Bupayn, right?"
Originally, Gap felt that Lynch's question should not be so complicated, Lynch asked some simple questions, such as the situation of President Neo, and then he answered some painless answers, and this was the end.
Because of Lynch's visit, he could show that he and Lynch knew each other, and that he would be more comfortable in prison with friends who were the special adviser to the Security Council, but to his surprise, Lynch's first question was so difficult to answer.
After thinking about it for more than a minute, he shook his head, "I am only responsible for some fund reconciliation in the group company, and I don't know where the money went and who it was given to. ”
Lynch looked at him, the two looked at each other, neither of them flinched, they looked into each other's eyes, Lynch shook his head slowly, "You lie, you know." ”
There are many ways to convey the benefits of the Federation, and the most common one is the fund transfer method, which seems stupid to many people, but it is the most envied method by other countries.
The members of Congress, each with their own business, and almost all of them secretly hold shares in various foundations.
Because private equity funds are not allowed to disclose information to the public, even if members of Congress hold a large stake and interest in them, they are very safe until they detonate a bomb and alarm law enforcement agencies to open an investigation.
If you want to give them benefits, you only need to pay the foundation in which they hold shares, and find any excuse, such as donating 1 million to a bird watching foundation to support them in the field with enough equipment to observe birds up close.
Regardless of why the birds should be observed and whether they bring economic value, such donations are fully in accordance with the law – first of all, the money is not the proceeds of crime, and it is not donated to a criminal organization for criminal use, then it is legal.
Then the money will be distributed to each shareholder according to the standard of the use of funds by private equity funds.
Because it is a private equity fund, it does not accept the supervision and management of society and institutions, and it can not disclose accounts and information to the public, and they will even cover up these ultimate beneficiaries through other means.
If a company donates to a new foundation, don't be surprised that it's a normal transfer of benefits.
As an auditor accountant, Gap has to audit every money in and out, and it is impossible for him not to know where some of the money has gone, these are all accounts for the public.
As for why it is a transfer of funds between public accounts, the question is actually very low-level, which is as stupid as why some criminals leave some ledgers that become stabbed to death.
Everybody knows it's stupid, but it has to be there because it's a line, a piece of evidence, and it also spurs those who benefit to do what they're supposed to do as quickly as possible.
Gap remained silent, as Lynch had said, and he actually knew.
He even had another set of ledgers, but he didn't plan to say it, it involved the real top ruler of the Federation, and once he confessed to this important evidence, he would most likely disappear mysteriously.
It would be easier for the bigwigs to kill a prisoner like him, who is under federal surveillance than a mosquito.
With a phone call, or even a message from someone, he could die in an accident anywhere in the prison.
No one will know yet.
The long silence made Lynch sure that Gap must know something, and he turned his head to look at the Security Council agent beside him, "Go to the door, I'm going to talk to Mr. Gap alone." ”
The agents of the Security Committee hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to follow Lynch's arrangement, it is an indisputable fact that Lynch has a connection with the upper echelons of the Security Committee, and there is no need for them to be involved in disputes of this level.
Soon the agent left, leaving only Lynch and Gap in the room.
"You're not out there, you're not aware of some of the things that's been going on lately, and if you knew, you wouldn't think like you do. ”
"I didn't go to anyone else, I didn't look for Neo, I came straight to you, and that says it all. ”
"I know what you're worried about, you don't need to worry about that, as long as you can cooperate with us, I can make sure you end your sentence safely here. ”
"Actually, we might as well think about it in a different way, you are worried that that person will use his power to make you disappear, but aren't you worried about me or those behind me?"
Lynch had a playful smile on his face, he shook his head slightly, turned sideways slightly, and looked around Gap to look at the office door behind him, "There are many accidents happening in this world every day, for example, later on the way back to the prison cell, you snatched the prison guard's weapon and prepared to escape, ignored the prison warning, and finally got killed......"
"Maybe your death will make the next person who knows the details a little smarter and knows how to work together properly. ”
The undisguised threat, and even directly telling Gap how he would leave this world, made Gap's psychological pressure increase dramatically, he was just an accountant, and he didn't want to get involved in the political maelstrom.
"Die right away, or if we defeat our opponent and you don't die, it's not a very difficult problem, is it?"
Lynch took out his cigarette case and lit one, he looked at Gap very leisurely, anyone knows how to choose, his hesitation now is just trying to find a way to do both.
But there is never a choice between the two ways in this struggle of opposition.
After about two minutes, Gap suddenly asked, "What do I get if I say it?"
Lynch nodded with satisfaction, "Have you heard of the Extraordinary Talent Levy Act?"
Under federal law, some law enforcement agencies can directly recruit convicts serving sentences up to five years to work for the federal government under this law.
Because sometimes some law enforcement needs a nail, and of course those who push for legislation don't tell the people that they do it in case one day they ......
Overall, though, the bill is very tempting for people serving their sentences.
When Lynch said that, he could clearly see the change in Gap's eyes.
So Lynch added again, "If we can ......," he smiled, "You know, then I can show the judge your value in this case, apply for a reduction in your sentence, and propose to transfer you to a private prison......"
