Chapter 2173: Bombarding the Independent Commission Against Corruption?
Independent Commission Against Corruption
Simple room layout.
A chair, a table, and a bright searchlight.
"Collakeford."
"Do you have anything to say?" Two staff members from the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) stared at the suspect in the opposite chair.
The wound on his left leg had been bandaged.
But compared to the tension and panic he felt when the incident occurred, he has now calmed down.
"I have nothing to explain."
I just accidentally got into a car accident.
My injury hasn't fully healed yet.
How did you end up bringing me here?
I am a government official.
"I could sue you for treating me like this!" Corracford said calmly.
His emotions and expression were completely different from before.
“You didn’t say that when we captured you before.”
You said that the money you took was rightfully yours.
"You've worked so hard for so many years to climb to this position, what's wrong with taking a little?" the staff member from the Independent Commission Against Corruption said seriously.
Korlakford looked puzzled: "Did I say that?"
I don't remember.
Maybe I was in a car accident and was talking nonsense.
Are you from the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) going to arrest a patient just because of their incoherent ramblings?
Are those nonsensical words considered evidence?
After saying that, Corlakfort looked provocatively at the two people opposite him.
But the two staff members of the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) did not take the provocation seriously at all.
The female staff member next to you said calmly, "The reason you changed your tune so quickly is because of the little note that the nurse showed you while she was treating your wound, right?"
It probably says something on it.
As long as you persist in your accusations, the people behind you will not let anything happen to you.
after all.
The death compensation for nearly 50,000 people totaled over 3 billion yuan.
Add to that the benefits associated with impersonation, and the losses to the Frost Dragon Kingdom could exceed 10 billion!
Do you think we only started targeting you recently?
Do you think we dare to arrest you without solid evidence?
Don't be naive.
Those people are making you cling to them so tightly, not because they want to save you.
They want you to buy them time to destroy the evidence.
And they can pin all the evidence on you.
If you confess now and become a witness against the prosecution.
There is still hope that your sentence will be life imprisonment.
If you behave well inside, there's still a chance you'll get out in this lifetime.
But if you stubbornly refuse to let go...
Then you will surely die.
Think about your family, think about your wife and children.
Are you really willing to take the blame for those people?
After hearing these words.
Korlakford looked visibly flustered.
Most likely, the key information was accurately described.
But he remained calm and didn't say anything, keeping his head down.
It seems he won't say anything more.
The two officers from the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) exchanged a glance.
The man said, "I really don't know why you're still so stubborn."
This is us giving you a chance.
Our time is limited.
It will only take another five minutes at most.
Because in five minutes, we will be interrogating other people.
If valuable information comes from other people, you won't even have the chance to become a witness for the prosecution.
Or are you just so confident in your superiors?
"You think two dukes can protect you?"
When I heard this...
A hint of panic flashed in Korlakfu's eyes.
"Do you really think that if you don't tell us, we won't know who it is?"
Duke Black, Duke Barton.
When he heard those two names, Kluckhohn trembled.
This was indeed his trump card.
Two dukes.
"Collakeford!" The male staff member slammed his hand on the table.
He roared, "You have three minutes left!"
I've seen your resume; you, like us, climbed your way up from humble beginnings.
There was no noble status.
That's why we're willing to give you a chance to live.
If you insist on courting death, then we won't waste our time with you.
Next, it's your turn to explain your position.
We won't say another word." The male staff member glanced at the clock hanging on the wall.
"Until 30 points."
The trial is now over.
You will face your final judgment. From that moment on, the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) did not utter another word.
The only sounds in the room were Collacford's heavy breathing, the rustling of clothes wiping away sweat, and the ticking of the clock.
Time passed second by second.
When the second hand has half a revolution left until the last minute.
Two staff members from the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) have begun tidying up their work notes.
It's as if they've completely given up on him, that he's beyond redemption.
Tick-tock tick-tock
Just as the two officers from the Independent Commission Against Corruption stood up, Collakeford suddenly spoke: "I'll talk!"
The two officers from the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) exchanged a glance; they knew they had succeeded.
Although what they said before was true, even without this guy's evidence, they could still handle those people.
However, if you have one, it will be easier to handle.
Outside the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) at this moment.
A luxury car appeared.
The driver got out of the car, walked quickly to the back, and opened the back door.
A man in his fifties came out.
This man is Duke Black!
The Duke of Black looked at the Integrity Commission sign in front of him and wiped his hands.
Walk up the steps.
His attendants opened the door for him.
"Hello, this is the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC)."
"How can I help you?" the receptionist at the door asked instinctively when she saw the visitor.
"Who is the highest-ranking official in your Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC)?"
I want to see him.
I want to know why your Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) can arrest people at will.
My subordinate was in a car accident and wasn't even taken to the hospital before you dragged him here!
I demand that you release them immediately!
"May I ask who you are?" The receptionist smiled, showing no sign of being intimidated by the large crowd.
They were informed of this from the moment they arrived at the Independent Commission Against Corruption.
The dangers they face are no less than those faced by soldiers on the battlefield.
It could even be dangerous.
They could be attacked at any time.
From the time she took this position until now.
One month.
She witnessed at least five attacks, including being splashed with excrement, blood, and animal carcasses.
As for various threatening letters and warning letters, we have received {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} many.
Many colleagues couldn't withstand the pressure and chose to leave their posts.
But there are also those who persevere like her.
Because they know that the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) is not just a figurehead; they have personally witnessed guilty people being arrested and tried.
That alone is enough for them to work hard here.
"The sixth of the Black family, the Duke of Black."
We came here when His Majesty started his rebellion.
"My father even fought alongside His Majesty's father!" Duke Black said solemnly.
“Duke Black.” The receptionist glanced at the latest document in her hand.
"Perfect timing, we were just about to invite you."
Since you've come yourself, it saves us the trouble of making a trip.
"Someone, please invite Duke Black to have some tea." Several staff members from the Independent Commission Against Corruption appeared nearby.
She's not just a simple receptionist.
According to the Independent Commission Against Corruption's regulations, during this tense and special period, front-line staff members who rotate positions are among the more important roles within the Independent Commission Against Corruption.
"Let's see who dares!"
You guys are incredibly bold.
The Duke dared to take it directly!
Do you know who this Duke Black is?
He is currently the Third Minister of Defense, and his son is the Third Commander of the Army.
All it takes is one phone call from us.
"We can send a battalion and raze this place to the ground!" The attendant standing next to Duke Black stepped forward and roared at the people from the Integrity Bureau.
"Regulations of the Integrity Commission".
Anyone we need to investigate, regardless of their identity.
Even princes and princesses must unconditionally accept our investigation.
Duke Black, please come with us.
Several staff members of the Independent Commission Against Corruption surrounded the Duke of Black.
"well.
very good.
I've seen how audacious your Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) is.
I'd like to see if your Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) can withstand this!
Don't worry about me.
"You go and do your business. I want to see how these people are going to interrogate me!" Duke Black said disdainfully.
that's all.
The Duke of Black was taken to the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) interrogation area by several ICAC staff members.
The attendant hurriedly left the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC), and it was unclear what he was doing there.
But less than half an hour later.
An armed convoy then stormed into the city and drove straight to the gate of the Independent Commission Against Corruption.
"Open the door!"
"Quickly release our Duke Black!"
Among them, the leading vehicle was even a light tank.
A light tank could be brought in from the rear, which shows the power behind it.
But the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) shows no sign of opening its doors.
"Break through!"
At the command of the man standing on the tank, they prepared to smash open the gates of the Independent Commission Against Corruption.
But almost in the next instant.
Several searchlights shone directly on the convoy outside the Independent Commission Against Corruption's main gate.
Military vehicles, tanks, soldiers.
Fully armed.
Those who don't know the situation might think this is a war.
At that moment, several guns, including a heavy machine gun, were already protruding from the houses surrounding the Independent Commission Against Corruption.
The streets outside were locked down.
At the same time, a helicopter appeared overhead.
"Let's see who dares to touch the doors of the Independent Commission Against Corruption today!" a woman's angry shout rang out.
This voice is known to all the high-ranking members of the Frost Dragon Kingdom.
The naval commander, and the sister of the King of the Frost Dragon Kingdom.
Fire Lidia.
Moreover, only this person has the authority to mobilize the Fire Dragon armed helicopter, which is now known as the God of Slaughter on the battlefield!
"I am Fire Lidia."
I now command you to immediately lay down all your weapons.
Get out of the vehicles and gather in the open area!
Within five minutes.
If you do not obey the arrangements.
Then I will treat you as rebels and kill you on the spot!
Upon hearing this...
The soldiers panicked.
They were only ordered to come here; they weren't told they were coming to join the rebels.
Some people had already subconsciously lowered their guns.
They all support the current Frost Dragon Kingdom regime.
Naturally, they didn't want to be rebels.
I heard the sound of someone behind me putting down their weapon.
The man standing on the tank looked very grim.
He hadn't expected that Fire Lidia would appear here.
If it were someone else, he would be confident he could control them.
However, everyone knows about Huo Lidia's personality.
It's incredibly popular.
She said five minutes, so it's five minutes.
At this moment, the fire-dragon armed helicopter in the air had already assumed combat status, and several machine guns had locked onto them.
With those missiles, it would be enough to wipe them all out here.
final!
The man obediently stepped out of the tank.
Everyone in the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) breathed a sigh of relief.
They each held their own guns and weapons.
They had initially thought they were really going to have to fight those people outside.
"Get the guy who's in charge of you into the Independent Commission Against Corruption!"
A searchlight from the Fire Dragon armed helicopter shone down and locked onto the person who was leading the challenge.
The man hesitated for a moment, but still walked into the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC).
The Fire Dragon armed helicopter hovered above the roof of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, and Fire Lidia landed quickly with a lock-and-drop maneuver.
In this respect, helicopters are more effective than fighter jets.
No need to find a runway.
"Depend on.
I was in a good mood today, coming to receive ten Fire Dragon armed helicopters provided by the Dragon Kingdom.
As a result, these scoundrels ruined my good mood.
Firedia drew her sidearm and cocked it.
Then I went into the elevator lobby on the rooftop and pressed the button for the first floor.
The elevator went down and quickly reached the first floor.
Firedia charged out aggressively.
Just then, I saw the officer standing at the entrance of the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) lobby, confronting a group of ICAC staff.
"So it's you who dared to bring the army into the city without authorization and want to bombard the Independent Commission Against Corruption, right?"
"I want to see how hard your head is, how many bullets it can withstand!" Huo Lidia pointed her gun directly at the officer's head.
"Cousin...it's me...it's me..."
cousin?
Huo Lidia looked at the person in front of her with a puzzled expression.
It does look somewhat familiar.
"We met before at a royal family dinner."
We're actually relatives.
"Your great-grandfather's sister was my great-grandfather's wife," the officer said with a forced smile.
Cousin?
That seems to be the case.
After the establishment of the Frost Dragon Kingdom, some former royal nobles and ministers of the Northern Frost Empire emerged.
Phoenix even hosted several family dinners to let everyone get to know each other.
After all, it is a large family, and there are many talented and extraordinary people among them.
Therefore, many members of these large families also hold different positions in the kingdom.
Huo Lidia paused for a moment, then said, "No matter what your identity is."
None of these are reasons for you to lead an army into the city and threaten the Independent Commission Against Corruption!
explain!
"Who sent you!"
The officer swallowed hard and said in a low voice, "I heard that my uncle was detained by the Independent Commission Against Corruption without cause."
So I brought the team here.
"You've been drinking?" Huo Lidia smelled the alcohol on the other person.
