Chapter 1341: Chapter 1340: Rising Star of the Future
Two car accidents occurred in a short period of time, leading to the death of a family of three. This case was enough to trigger the intervention mechanism.
After the local police station saw nothing suspicious about it, they forwarded the case to the FBI.
In the Federation’s judiciary system, there are some regulations that some people find humane, which is the system of mutual questioning.
They can question some cases that already have conclusions, then apply for a reinvestigation, going over the case again without affecting the involved parties or even letting them know.
Generally speaking, the FBI is responsible for the "questioning," while the local police station is the one causing the "confusion."
Unfortunately, compared to the FBI investigators, the police are actually closer to society and can easily be influenced by factors outside the cases.
Through these mechanisms, the FBI indeed found many doubts in some already concluded cases, and then overturned the initial verdicts.
This made the local police station and the police very embarrassed. They believed there was nothing wrong with the case, yet someone found issues, which definitely did not look good on them.
In many areas, the roles and functions of the police and FBI investigators overlap, and there is already competition between them.
Making each other lose face is something they enjoy doing.
The investigator responsible for this case took one look and knew something was wrong. Who has such bad luck to have two car accidents in one day... no, you could say within one or two hours, and the entire family died?
Yet unrelated people were only frightened?
The investigator who read through the files concluded it as an "astonishing murder case" and began applying for funds and power. He wanted to pursue this case and catch a big fish!
If he succeeds, the high echelons of the FBI will definitely not hesitate to give him a bright future!
As for failure?
At most, he would just waste a few months or even a year or two, while others have progressed and he wasted the time...
Not everything will have a reward, but once there is one, it will be surprising enough.
The matter of the Prison Director’s family encountering a car accident soon calmed down. Although their family was in immense pain because they suddenly lost the whole family, these relatives came out of the shadows soon after the funeral.
They are still suing each other and the banks, with everyone wanting to get more inheritance!
When Mr. Fox arrived in Bupen, Lynch met with him.
According to the rules, felons are not allowed to communicate with outsiders during transfer or transport.
But nothing is absolute. For instance, the entire train carriage was emptied, and Lynch walked in and sat beside Mr. Fox.
Mr. Fox, in his lifetime, has seen and experienced too much.
Perhaps he is not smart enough in certain aspects, like business or life, but his experience and knowledge in certain areas are beyond people’s imagination.
For example, he knows at this moment that his presence here is due to Lynch’s efforts, but he cannot say that as it might become evidence against Lynch—there are transport personnel nearby.
That doesn’t stump him.
"Thank you, thank you very much for coming to see me."
He was very sincere, at least he showed that sincerity, and indicated he understood why he could be here and knew who to thank.
He wasn’t referring to Lynch coming to see him right now, but to those things that happened before, which he couldn’t make too clear.
Lynch promptly caught onto this information and shook his head with a smile, "We are friends. You came here, and I see you are quite fine."
He sat beside Mr. Fox, and then the two of them started chatting about other matters.
"Have you talked to the judge?"
Lynch referred to the fact that as Mr. Fox grows older, being imprisoned is indeed very inhumane and cruel.
He did evade taxes, and tax evasion is indeed a serious crime, but he is an old man, a man needing care.
Some time ago, when talking to Chris, Chris mentioned this issue.
Chris hoped that Mr. Fox could come out earlier, even though he had already moved his father to a private prison with a better environment and closer to him.
But a prison is still a prison, not a good place, and Chris hoped Mr. Fox could return home, even if serving the sentence at home.
However, achieving this is not an easy task. Tax evasion is a serious crime, and the only thing that could move the judge is perhaps Mr. Fox’s old age.
Maybe the judge will consider his age and give him a chance to return to the outside world.
Mr. Fox nodded, "I met the judge over there before getting on the train, and they... don’t think I need special care."
From the judge’s perspective, it’s true. Mr. Fox didn’t show any signs during his detention that he needed to leave the prison.
Especially when there is a group of young people following him, protecting him, the local judge and prosecutor didn’t consider reducing his sentence, or providing outside prison service.
"You can wait a while and try again. Judges around Bupen are a bit more agreeable, easier to deal with."
"I hope you like it here!"
After a brief conversation, Lynch stood up to bid farewell, and those police officers responsible for escorting Old Fox would probably only note down something like "Fox had a brief exchange with the passenger seated next to him during the escort."
They won’t name who met with Old Fox; doing so serves no benefit to them.
To offend someone like Lynch over something that offers no benefit is clearly not worth it.
At the same location, an hour later, a couple carrying large suitcases emerged from the train.
It was Mrs. Chris and her husband.
After the state election ended, her husband temporarily left his position as a State Judge for certain reasons.
"So this is Bupen..."
Standing on the platform of Bupen Train Station, the man took a deep breath.
The air was mixed with a faint smell of engine oil, the scent from burning coal, and... the aroma of money and power.
Everyone knows this is the center of the Federation’s power and wealth. Now, as a judicial investigator of the state court, Chris’s husband has ample time to do things he wanted but never had the chance to do before.
This time, besides coming for a "vacation" to avoid some storms within the state’s judicial institutions, he also hopes to see if he can make some inroads from the Bupen side.
Recently, Chris often plays tennis with the President, and the President has promised that if necessary, he will arrange a new position for Chris’s husband in the Ministry of Justice.
While this job may not have significant power initially, unlike a Chief Justice who can decide the fate of others,
as he establishes himself in the Ministry of Justice, meets more people, and maintains good social relationships, he can gradually be placed in some important positions.
It is a good option.
It’s certainly much better than being a judicial investigator in the state court!
As for the relationship between his wife and the President, he doesn’t care much.
In a society like the Federation, some things cannot be eaten or spent as money.
If giving up on some meaningless persistence can lead to a better life... why not?
This is the everyday reality, with countless people harboring the Federation dream coming from other places and around the world to this city, striving towards their Federation dream.
Every day, countless people leave this place after being tortured by society and reality, battered and bruised despite their persistence and efforts.
If you love someone, send them to Bupen, and they will see everything they love there.
If you hate someone, just send them to Bupen, you don’t need to push, they will jump out by themselves!
During the lunch break, Anna put down her work and found Lynch.
"The school entrusted me to convey some ideas. They hope you can say something at the graduation ceremony the day after tomorrow, representing the student council and the students."
Lynch looked at Anna, staring blankly for a moment without responding.
After a few seconds, he slapped his forehead, "I totally forgot about this. Thank you for reminding me, I will contact the principal directly."
Lynch is good at everything, except he’s not a graduate of Saint Harmony Academy, nor is he a member of the Saint Harmony Association.
Therefore, two years ago, Mr. Wardrick wrote him a recommendation letter, allowing him to successfully stay connected with the school.
He doesn’t have to attend school, but he’s considered a student and is already a member of the Saint Harmony Association.
With these "steps," Lynch will encounter much less trouble in the future.
Sometimes, to ensure that you or your group always leads others or organizations, you don’t necessarily need to maintain high-level "competitive power" all the time; it’s enough if others or organizations aren’t excellent.
The former is hard to achieve because no individual or group can maintain the momentum and capability to move forward every moment.
But it is straightforward to hinder others from surpassing oneself.
Not to mention that the Saint Harmony Association holds enormous resources; otherwise, no one would continuously support the absurd notion of the "Saint Harmony Association’s conspiracy to rule the world."
The Saint Harmony Association is also very gracious and welcoming towards Lynch joining them, as fresh blood and outstanding talent are the reasons for the Saint Harmony Association’s enduring strength.
The annual graduation season has arrived again, according to ordinary terms, Lynch is now a third-year university student, and after the summer, he will be a prospective graduate.
He can represent the current third-year university students and post-summer graduates to speak at the graduation ceremony.
Wishing those graduates a bright future, and encouraging the soon-to-be graduates among the third-year students.
This is a very traditional event, almost every university has it, yet it is very special since this is a Saint Harmony Academy speech!
Those invited to attend the graduation ceremony on-site are at least from the social elite class, and more often, they are the big names from high society.
Including families like the Duncan Clan and the Akiner Clan, they are regularly invited guests.
Being able to deliver a speech on behalf of the students on such occasions is indeed quite special!
They refer to those student speakers as "Future Stars"!
