The news that Dale Bucklow, chief member of the Beiguan Municipal Council, was suspected of illegal stock trading suddenly made headlines.
In some gossip tabloids, there is even more scandalous information about him, and there are even photos of him kissing his daughter-in-law, Mrs. Jia.
Of course, anyone with a discerning eye can tell that this is the splicing of different photo plates, which is darkroom technology.
But more people naturally don’t understand, can the photos be fake? For a while, it spread loudly and enthusiastically.
Both the Grand Prosecutor's Office and the Donghai Region Statistics and Investigation Bureau have also received a number of reports, some anonymous and some with real names.
After several days of silence, the Attorney General's Office finally issued a statement that the Office of Special Operations has established a special team to investigate a series of suspected violations of the law.
On the same day, the Beiguan Assembly passed a resolution to temporarily suspend the positions of chief committee member of the Beiguan Municipal Government and Beiguan Councilor in Bakluo.
…
Empire State Building 9802 Royal Suite Reception Room.
Lu Ming felt helpless as he looked at Mrs. Barklo who was crying across from her.
But it is true that many of Bucklo's dirty information came from her in-depth investigation after getting clues from her mouth.
If I don't see her, I really feel sorry for her.
Then he looked at the young woman in cheongsam sitting next to Mrs. Bacolo, who was Bacolo's daughter-in-law, Mrs. Jia.
Mrs. Bacro's Madeleine came this time and brought her daughter-in-law with her.
At this time, Mrs. Jia was quietly comforting her mother-in-law.
In fact, Mrs. Jia said she was from Zhongzhou, and she wore a cheongsam, but her makeup was very Westernized, with deliberately drawn eyebrows and squinty eyes. This was the high-class face that some people touted in later generations. In terms of figure, , also relatively plump, with big thick legs and big butt.
But although the makeup makes her look a bit ugly, she actually looks pretty if she puts on normal makeup, but Mrs. Jia is really smart and capable.
Her makeup, of course, has a different meaning from her original world. Presumably it is because she feels that this kind of makeup will make women look independent and difficult to mess with.
Obviously, it was Madeleine's idea to come here this time.
After Bucklo was taken away by investigators from the Grand Prosecutor's Office, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law seemed to have suddenly closed their doors and had a close family relationship. After all, in times of crisis, if the towering tree at home fell down, her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law would also be in bad luck. There is no nesting egg.
"Commissioner Lu, look at it, what should we do?" Mrs. Jia looked at Lu Ming, and her tone of voice sounded a bit like Western dialect.
Lu Ming said: "We can only wait for the results of the investigation. If Dell really did not do anything illegal, the prosecutor's office should not make it difficult for him. Besides, Dell has many supporters in the political circles, so he should be fine."
Mrs. Jia sighed softly, "Commissioner Lu, my mother-in-law and I mustered up the courage to come to see you. I am also a member of the Beiguan Council and am active in the political circles. Therefore, Comrade Lu, let me tell you what is in my heart. I know, Now only you can help my father-in-law. When the Supreme Prosecutor's Office issued a statement, it means that my father-in-law's party has given up on him. The person who untied the bell must tie the bell. Commissioner Lu, only you can help him, my father-in-law. , In fact, I have long been interested in recommending Commissioner Lu as the next municipal chief committee member..."
Lu Ming sneered in his heart, saying in his heart that you just opened your mouth. Even if Bucklo wants to use this condition in exchange, not to mention that he can't protect himself now. Even if he is normal, he is still the same as before. His prestige is not damaged, and he retires normally. But the chief committee member is not What he can recommend.
In order to get this big tiger into the cage as soon as possible, I will start from having a bad relationship with him, and send out some of the problems he has investigated, as well as the problems discovered through Madeleine's investigation, just to complete the victory in one battle and not give him anything. Any chance he gets to catch his breath and fight back.
Before he, a big tiger, was locked up, he had to deal with various investigations and had no chance to fight to the death.
Moreover, various newspapers broke the news and were filled with various reporting materials.
It also made the forces that he had a cooperative relationship with quickly know that he was in huge trouble now, so if you want to help him do things, you must carefully consider them.
As for his desperate style of play, the newspapers made various revelations and reports.
In fact, in the eyes of senior management, it will be very disgusting.
But that was all he could do. The situation changed too quickly, and it was completely different from his original plan.
Bucklo, a big tiger, might suffer a fatal backlash if he was given a little chance to breathe.
And this Mrs. Jia obviously knew that she was the mastermind behind this through some means or through guessing.
Including Madeline, she is now awakening from a dream, and this shrewd daughter-in-law is afraid that she will also tell her about her secret contact with her.
Of course Mrs. Jia couldn't fall out with her mother-in-law now, so she could only coax and encourage her mother-in-law to come and meet her. In fact, she wanted to see her in private.
"Congressman Jia, Dell said he recommended me to be the next chief with good intentions, and I thank you! But he is such a big trouble, and I really can't do anything about it." As he said that, Lu Ming looked at Madeline, who had red eyes and was wiping tears, "Madeline Mrs. Delin, I can promise you that you will be safe."
Mrs. Jia was slightly startled when she heard this, and looked at Lu Ming with a thoughtful look in her eyes.
There was a gentle knock on the door, and then the door was pushed open. Standing in front of the door was Shirley, "Sir, Director Jordan of the Special Operations Office of the Supreme Prosecutor's Office called."
"Oh, okay." Lu Ming stood up and nodded apologetically to Madeline: "I'll answer the phone first."
When Mrs. Jia heard that it was the Special Operations Office of the General Prosecutor's Office, she sat up straight and her eyes flickered.
Madeleine kept wiping her tears and said, "If he is not here, what does it mean for me to be safe..."
Madeleine obviously didn't know what the various agencies did. She didn't even know that the Office of Special Operations that she called was the agency that handled her husband's son's death.
Lu Ming looked at her and sighed softly in his heart. What she needed was a warm family, but he really couldn't help it.
Although I did feel a little guilty for taking advantage of her for many things, I could help her as much as I could, and there was nothing I could do if I couldn't.
…
Jordan called because he hoped that Lu Ming would take time to write a transcript tomorrow, because some of the reporting materials involved Bucklow's speech at the municipal meeting and provided policy conveniences for some companies that transferred benefits to him.
The real-name whistleblower was a stenographer who often attended city meetings.
But this also requires circumstantial evidence to confirm that the materials he reported are true and reliable.
Lu Ming agreed, chatted with Jordan for a few more words, and then returned to the guest room.
"Dell's matter is difficult to deal with." Lu Ming shook his head, wanting to put an end to the visit between Madeleine and Mrs. Jia's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. He carefully considered his words, "Let's do this..."
"Uncle Lu, is my father-in-law really hopeless?" Mrs. Jia said suddenly.
Lu Ming was stunned, Uncle Lu?
As if seeing Lu Ming's surprise, Mrs. Jia said: "You are my father-in-law's equal. You always call him Dale. Of course Carl and I should call you uncle."
Lu Ming was speechless.
In fact, Shirley just made it clear where the call came from. That little girl was a little clever and knew some of the things inside. She thought she might be blackmailing Bucklow's family, so she deliberately called Director Jordan from the Operations Office. Otherwise, whoever calls him will usually keep it secret and not let the guests know.
Sure enough, Mrs. Jia's mentality changed again and she called her uncle directly.
In fact, I should be several years younger than you.
Being called uncle by a young woman in her mid-20s, Lu Ming sighed inwardly. He had no idea whether he would become old or not. This was not the first case. Wang Jinfei had been there before, and it would not be the last case. I was afraid that this would happen in the future. There will be more and more, and this is just the beginning.
Not to mention, the younger and older ancestors of the family are all being enshrined as ancestors.
"Uncle Lu, my father-in-law's party has given up on him, right?" Mrs. Jia asked.
Lu Ming smiled: "I don't know about that. Giving up is out of the question. Any party will help its colleagues who are in trouble, but if a colleague is involved in a crime, there is nothing they can do about it, right?"
"If, I mean if, I and two other members of the party leave the Liberal Party and join the Ecumenical Party, what will be the consequences? Uncle."
Her "uncle" became more and more skillful the more she called him.
Lu Ming thought for a moment that this was probably her real reason for coming.
Firstly, it was a way of supporting her father-in-law and gaining a good reputation as a person; secondly, she was already thinking about what she would do if Bucklo was actually imprisoned.
If the party leader is actually prosecuted for multiple crimes, the reputation of the Liberal Party's Beiguan branch will be greatly damaged. She will bear the brunt of it, and it is not certain whether she can retain her membership qualifications.
Now that the upper echelons of the Liberal Party have given up on her father-in-law, not to mention a small fish like her, she will become a victim of the Liberal Party's purge of party discipline in minutes, and the possibility is very high. After all, the new leader of the Beiguan Party Headquarters must first To restore the image of this branch, efforts will be made to clean up party discipline and suppress the influence of the original direct descendants of Bucklow. She has no political future if she remains in the Liberal Party.
And if she switches jobs and can get protection from the Ecumenical Party, it will appear that she is actually different from her father-in-law, and has made a beautiful change from the past.
But she definitely didn't have enough bargaining chips on her own, so she roped in two allies, both of whom should be Bucklow's cronies and were in the same situation as her.
"Uncle, don't say you can't make the decision, you are the leader of the Grand Duke Party in Beiguan!" Mrs. Jia reminded Lu Ming with a smile.
Over there, Madeline was dumbfounded and looked at her daughter-in-law, with a fierce look in her eyes again.
Lu Ming was startled by the sudden glance. In fact, this old lady probably had a mental problem.
"Congressman Jia..."
"Just call me Cuihua. It's my nickname in the family, and my father-in-law calls me like this." Mrs. Jia said with a smile.
Lu Ming was startled and nodded: "In this case, I will call someone to accompany you and Mrs. Madeleine to the hospital. I feel that Mrs. Madeleine has suffered too many setbacks in her life recently. It is best to go to the hospital for a good check-up and to recuperate. …”
After meeting him, he went home and made a fuss about killing his wife or mother-in-law. In this chaotic situation, he was a little confused.
Mrs. Jia was stunned and turned around, suddenly startled by Madeline's direct gaze.
At this time, Madeleine shuddered and came to her senses, and said blankly: "I, where am I?"
Lu Ming sighed softly in his heart, this old woman was actually quite pitiful.
