Chapter 20 Unlimited Right to Investigate
In the Navy Club, Joe finished reading all the case files.
He also knew the name of the beauty in red dress, Hennevi Jung Harrington Fort, Navy Major, and senior intelligence officer of the Navy Overseas Hydrological Data Investigation Bureau.
The Harrington Fort family, the top major family in the empire, and the representative of the Junker chaebol nobles. With the power of a family, it can influence the economy of more than a dozen provinces of the empire.
Being born into such a top chaebol and joining the navy with a strong momentum, you can imagine how Heineve’s style of acting is.
The beauty in black dress, Lilith von Greyton, a senior intelligence officer of the Imperial Intelligence Headquarters. The Greyton family has the title of hereditary earl, an outstanding representative of the Teutonic military aristocrats in the Imperial family, with more than five active generals in the family, and the adult males in the family are all active soldiers without exception.
In the conference room, Heinie and Lilith were staring at each other with their eyebrows and eyes as if they were looking at each other with fierce eyes.
Longgust and Papasi were still slamming the table, quarreling loudly, occasionally throwing tea cups and cigarette butts at each other.
At noon, a team of sailors walked into the conference room and delivered a simple but sufficient lunch. Everyone had to fill their stomachs and then continued to slap the table and yell.
One afternoon passed by this meaningless noise.
Qiao sat in the corner of the conference room, feeling his eyelids were so bored that he was extremely bored. At two or three o'clock in the afternoon, he even leaned against the wall and slept for a while.
At dinner time, a team of sailors brought the dinner.
Dinner standards are much better than lunch, and even on everyone's plate, there is a garlic-grilled lobster and a cheese-roasted pork handkerchief.
"Navy treatment!" Joe woke up from his sleep at the smell of food, and while feasting, he complained to Steiger beside him: "Poor Gorkin, his previous letters said that sometimes they only eat black bread slices and canned black beans."
The two swallowed a foot-long lobster. Joe looked at Papasi and other naval officers who were eating Haiser at the conference table and murmured: "I hope the wild dogs will chew off their heads, the military expenses of the navy, and the taxpayers' dedication... Tsk, this big chandelier is so beautiful!"
On a row of crystal chandeliers on the roof of the conference room, smokeless whale oil candles illuminate, illuminating the conference room. Each crystal chandeliers are expensive, and in Joe's eyes, they are all shining with dazzling light, like the golden mark.
"This is the Navy." Steg chewed off the last pig's hand and sighed: "The gold-swallowing monster, this is the Navy."
The sailors took away the plate, Longgust and Papasi had a cup of coffee and another cup of black tea. They were full and full, and were full of energy. They began to slap the table again, roaring loudly.
The gentleman from the Ice Sea Kingdom was quite interesting. During the day, he leaned lazily against the window frame. As soon as the night came, he became energetic. He approached the conference table and joined the quarrel in ambiguous manner. He roared loudly, and his eyes were shining brightly, as active as a night owl.
The unlucky man from the Kingdom of Saint-Shia hugs in the corner. Every half a quarter of an hour, he will squeal in a lengthening voice: "The Kingdom of Saint-Shia cannot be provoked!"
The representative of the Gaul Republic, also every half a quarter of an hour, would wave the white paper of debt collection after the screaming of the Kingdom of Saint-Shia, and roar at the top of his lungs: "Pay money, pay money, pay money!"
Joe's face froze into a ball, and he murmured to himself: "This is the special investigation team that Director Stein called me to join?"
Spreading his hands, Qiao asked in confusion: "What can we investigate when we do this?"
People in uniforms kept coming in and out of the conference room, constantly roaring at the quarrels and whispering to the crowd. Occasionally, there were also some small notes full of handwriting delivered to these big names.
Time passed minute by minute, and at ten o'clock in the night, ten low bells came from the direction of St. Heard's Cathedral.
Dontes, who had been sitting under the portrait of the queen, stood up suddenly. He took out a sterling silver pocket watch from his chest pocket, opened the lid of the pocket watch with a tingling sound, and took a look at the time.
Longuster, Papasi, everyone in the conference room closed their mouths at the same time.
Even the army and naval officers and soldiers who had quarreled and scolded each other for a whole day in the corridor outside the conference room, suddenly became quiet like ducks stuck in their necks.
"I announce that the special investigation team for the Zhongqiu Blood Case in Tulum Port has been officially established." Dontes closed the pocket watch cover with a tingling sound, stuffed it back into his pocket, and gently tapped the conference table with his right hand.
Dontes' eyes swept over the people in the conference room one by one, and he said in a deep voice: "The bloody incident that broke out on the night of the fifteenth has now passed. Dear Your Excellency, two days, I think... should be enough."
The Marquis of Seajac touched his mustache.
Longgust and Papasi nodded meaningfully, no longer had the hot atmosphere of cursing each other and fighting each other before.
Dontes took out a folder from the briefcase that had been hanging on the armrest of the seat, opened it, and recited it loudly.
"Then, the Special Investigation Team for the Middle Autumn Blood Case in Tulun Port in 1379 has unlimited investigation rights in the administrative area of Tulun Port during the investigation."
"The army, police station, courts, customs, including and not limited to all departments under the Tulun Port City Hall, and all confidential or public departments in Tulun Port cooperate with the Special Investigation Team in all aspects to provide the Special Investigation Team with all the necessary help, including and not limited to human, material, financial and intelligence."
"Members of the Special Investigation Team have the right to summon, arrest and interrogate all relevant persons without the authorization of the court. It is particularly pointed out that interrogation, including certain special means of interrogation, such as severe torture, is also allowed."
"All public places and all private residences in Tulun Port are open to the Special Investigation Team unconditionally. Anyone who, under any excuse to block the Special Investigation Team from the Special Investigation Team can be arrested or even killed on the spot."
"For absolute fairness and absolute transparency, the special investigation team was formed by the Tulun Port Police Station. There are 30 core members of the investigation team, each of which can be freely allocated personnel to assist in the investigation."
"The first, second and third rooms of the Tulun Port Supervision Office dispatched operators to the special investigation team to ensure that the investigation team strictly abides by the imperial laws and regulations during the investigation period and strictly performs its investigation duties."
Dontes took out thirty red leather cover documents from the document bag, "pa", "pa", "pa", and "pa", and very fast, and placed them on the conference table very hard.
Dontes took a deep breath and pointed to the ID on the table: "Please remember that when the sound of cannons sounded on the land of the empire, this was a war. The special investigation team was the pioneer of this war!"
"Director Stein." Dontes nodded to Stein who was standing at the door of the conference room: "Please give me everything."
Stein stood at attention and nodded to Dontes and the big men sitting at the conference table: "In the name of imperial law, we will not let a bad person go, nor will we wrongly a good person."
Dontes said with a gloomy face: "Very good, I hope you can catch the murderer and find out the real responsible person behind it."
"I hope you can understand that Tulun Port has been completely blocked, whether on land or on sea. Everyone knows the importance of Tulun Port. This comprehensive blockade can last for up to one week."
Dontes said coldly: "A week later, Tulun Port must be unblocked. If, by then, there will be no conclusion that will convince everyone."
Dontes looked at the Marquis of Seajac, then looked at Lontest and Papasi: "Then, the Zhongqiu bloody case will be handed over to the Imperial Supervision Department. Everyone, be mentally prepared."
Even the Marquis of Seajac, who had always been the most calm, could not help but tremble when he heard the word "Imperial Supervision Department", and he twisted his body uneasy on the chair.
Joe, and twenty-nine other senior and capable agents from Tulum Port lined up and walked to Dontes, each receiving a red cover ID.
Holding this document tightly, Qiao felt his lips a little dry and his heart beat faster.
With this document in hand, he will have almost unlimited power in Tulum Port in the next week?
Think about it, what can this power do?
Joe suddenly thought of Messinglade and used the name of the special investigation team to arrest several of the most jumpy brothers from the Wells family in the morning to loosen their muscles and bones first in the police station?
This is totally possible!
Dontes's cold voice sounded: "So, dear sir, please. Seven days, you will have up to seven days."
The people in the conference room began to walk out.
Papasi, with a group of naval officers, had already walked past Joe, but suddenly turned around and walked back, reached out and lit up a few times on Joe's chest.
Staring with his eyes, Papasi sneered at Joe: "Little rogue, the combat effectiveness of the navy has never been based on fists! Battleships and cannons, this is the combat effectiveness of the navy!"
Papasi said proudly: "You provoked and insulted the Imperial Navy. You will definitely see the true combat power of the Imperial Navy."
This is a threat from the Imperial Rear Admiral!
Qiao sneered: "On the night of the fifteenth, I had personally experienced the combat power of the navy... Thor's huge cannon bombarded the houses and killed the good people of the empire. It was indeed earth-shaking, and it was worthy of the combat power of the navy!"
Behind Papasi, more than a dozen naval officers gritted their teeth, and their muscles bulged high on their cheeks. They seemed to rush up to beat Qiao with just one order.
Unlike those sailors, these naval school-level officers were filled with powerful blood and breath that Joe could clearly feel.
There is no doubt that they have all achieved success in their cultivation.
Joe raised the red certificate that had just been given in his hand, and shouted loudly: "Major General Papasi, are you threatening members of the Special Investigation Team? I suspect..."
Papasi's face changed suddenly. He turned around and rushed out of the conference room door with big strides.
Papasi retreated in a panic, and a group of naval officers behind him twitched one by one, and ran out of the conference room with big strodes.
Longgust, who was beside him, and the group of army officers beside him laughed at the same time, and someone even put his fingers into his mouth and blew a sharp whistle.
A scent of fragrance came, and Henniwei, wearing a big red dress, came to Qiao. She glanced at Qiao deeply and said proudly: "Sir, I hope you can make the fairest decision."
With a proud smile, Heinewei floated away quickly like a cloud of fire.
Lilith, who was wearing a black dress and a cold breath, came to Qiao silently like a ghost's glance. She pulled out a beautifully printed business card from her cuff and gently inserted it into Qiao's front chest pocket.
