Lei's father said: "I am the deputy director of the Federal Intelligence Agency. There were three people competing for this position at the time. In terms of qualifications and power, I was not the best candidate. So do you know why I got this position?"

Liang Xi shook his head. He had never worked and had no understanding of things in the workplace and officialdom. For Liang Xi, the so-called palace fights were simply people from the lower class playing tricks and licking the people from the upper class, while people from the same class would

It is a stabbing attack, and its purpose is to hope that the upper class people will like him or her, or that he or she happens to be short of a good dog to raise his or her class to a certain height. Who will win in the end depends entirely on the subjective preferences of the upper class people.

It lacks logic, so Liang Xi hates so-called office politics.

Lei's father said: "Because I have a nemesis. The deputy director has great power, and intelligence personnel need to do a lot of work that cannot be recorded. It is very difficult to review their work. My nemesis is the financial audit director of the General Administration.

In other words, she will review every penny I spend to find any loopholes in me. So there is no need to supervise me at all, my nemesis will take care of it all."

Liang Xi asked: "Fake rival?"

Lei's father laughed: "How is that possible? This is the Federal Intelligence Agency. I killed her son. This is a tragedy. At that time, I still liked to drive by myself. One night when I was driving home, someone fell on the road and I got out of the car.

After checking, it turned out to be a trap. Three bad boys robbed me with knives and forced me to hand over my wallet."

Lei's father cooperated and opened the car door, leaned forward to get his wallet (pistol), turned around and shot the nearest person without hesitation. When the other two people were stunned, Lei's father shot and killed another person. The third person immediately threw away the knife.

He knelt down and raised his hands, but what he saw was Lei's father's cold eyes. The third person was the rebellious son of the audit supervisor.

In theory, there is something wrong with it, but in practice, there is nothing wrong with it. Even if the supervisor's son is the first gangster to be shot, the supervisor will not forgive Lei's father. The humorous thing is that Lei's father was promoted to deputy because the supervisor hated Lei's father.

Director.

After hearing this, Liang Xi asked: "You mean Phil..."

"There must be people who restrict Phil. You can tell from the description that Phil is the person with the power to provoke a world war. How could there be no restrictions on him? One way to restrict him is supervision. The information Phil has is

Top secret, who dares to supervise Phil? Another way is checks and balances. Similar to how the nuclear code can only be spelled out with the consent of the Prime Minister and the Secretary of Defense. As far as I know, there are many powerful figures in the British General Staff who are in charge of their respective

Business. The person who did not deal with Phil was named James. Phil came from the navy and air force, and James came from the army. The two were officers at the same time, but their ideas were very different. Phil advocated that Britain be independent and strong, and James hoped that Britain would pay more attention to cooperation with the United Kingdom.

Relations between the countries of the Southern Treaty.”

Lei's father said: "The worst thing is that James is a die-hard Arsenal fan and Phil is a Tottenham supporter. It is said that Phil teased Arsenal at an officer training meeting many years ago, which led to a physical conflict with James at the scene. Now it is the same

The middle-aged and elderly people have formed mutual constraints in the general staff. James's main work is military intelligence and parliament, and Phil's main work is generals and bacteria teams. Their conflict really broke out five years ago, when Phil proposed a 20-year plan.

The purpose is to reduce personnel and equipment, reduce service personnel by 30%, and increase military investment by 30%. James disagrees with this. He believes that the final winner of the war is people, and people are the most important war resource."

Finally, after intense debate, the Parliament and the Prime Minister's Office passed the 20-year plan. Originally, everything was on track, and I never thought that a war would break out in northern Europe this year. Modern offensive and defensive warfare has overturned the understanding of many military scientists.

Fifteen junior officers who were trained in the military academy looked at this war as bystanders. They jointly wrote a paper report and submitted it to the General Staff. The core focus was only one, which was to deny the 20-year plan. Fighters and warships were reduced to nothing in this war.

The high cost and high risk of low-cost attacks not only make helicopters useless, but also fighter jets do not play their original role. Mastering air supremacy is actually just mastering the sky.

They believe that the future development direction of the UK should be satellites, drones, and long-range and sophisticated artillery systems. Investing a large amount of money in the upgrading of Rafale and Typhoon fighter jets in the 20-year plan is really not worth the gain. Phil’s view on this

Yes, air and sea control are strategic considerations. Unmanned aerial vehicles and individual missiles are tactical considerations.

The matter was a big deal internally, and fifteen officers were invited to a secret place to have an open debate with Phil's officers. With the stalemate in the northern war, the side that had control of the air and sea did not gain much.

In order to maintain this advantage, they continued to lose warships and aircraft. This caused Phil to lose the advantage of time in this debate.

After discussions among several departments, it was finally decided that James would take over the 20-year plan, requiring James to come up with a new reform plan as soon as possible. Because of the existence of the Northern War as a sample, James was like a duck to water, and he cut off most of the upgrades to fighter planes and warships.

, instead focusing on air defense, long-range mobile rocket vehicles and ships.

Lei's father said: "When Phil appeared at the temporary base of the joint investigation team, the French and I were stunned. According to the young people, this is called a dimensionality reduction strike, using a cannon to hit a mosquito. At the same time, we

I understand one thing, Phil is about to leave."

Liang Xi couldn't understand: "Why?"

Lei's father said: "What would you think if Liu Zhen's superiors asked Liu Zhen to catch pickpockets on the streets? What would Liu Zhen think? This is a hint, because no one dares to tell Phil clearly: You can't do it anymore, you are fired.

Phil has a good mentality. I believe he knows his situation, but still cooperates with the joint investigation team in the best working condition. As a general, he would rather others think that he left his job because of a woman than others.

It is believed that he was dismissed because of outdated tactical thinking."

Lei's father said: "Phil's supporters are all front-line officers. The war in the north made them realize that the 20-year plan was a mistake. But according to my personal opinion, the reason why anti-Phil's thinking is correct is that it is based on the relationship between Britain and

On the basis that the United States is an ally and a member of the South Atlantic Treaty Organization, Phil is thinking based on a separate British strategy."

Lei's father said: "It's not just intelligence personnel like us. None of the people at the top of the pyramid like Phil and James are simple people. Simple people cannot reach this height. Phil's resignation represents his failure. Of course, in the big picture

Most people know him as a general with outstanding merits."

Liang Xi thought thoughtfully: "This circle seems to be more complicated than the circle in the black world."

Lei's father smiled and said: "We intelligence officers have done countless bad things, isn't it just so that they can be good people on the surface? All our work is for them."

While Lei's father was chatting about Phil, he opened a window for Liang Xi to re-understand the world. As Lei's father said himself, he was not defensive towards Liang Xi. Just like an elder, he was explaining

He also told Liang Xi a lot of information and taught Liang Xi a lot during the incident. The more than an hour's drive passed very quickly as the two chatted, and soon the car reached its destination: the basement of an office building.

It looks like an ordinary underground parking lot, but there is a hidden door in the southeast. Behind the hidden door is an ordinary office of 120 square meters. It was a secret office when Matthew was the German Chancellor. The reason for this is because there are some

Cases involve many people, and being a person with many friends can sometimes be a painful thing. Whenever he is dealing with these matters, Matthew will leave his office and go to the basement office to work.

As a justice, you will not have to deal with trivial cases on a daily basis, or even cases such as murder. The reason why Matthew can become a justice of the criminal court is because when he was a German justice, he was in charge of all the cases that were close to the powerful and middle- and high-level judicial personnel.

He does not try the case, but reviews information, investigates evidence, interviews witnesses and police officers handling the case, and tries his best to ensure the legality of the evidence and clues provided by the stronger party during the trial.

…

The office still retains the original tables and chairs. From the outside, it is hard to believe that it is an office that has lost its owner for more than a month. There are file bags and materials on the table, and the chairs are casually visited, as if the owner just got up and left. The bookcase behind the office is placed

It is full of books, and there are printers and paper shredders on the workstations on the side of the main workstation.

Lei's father said: "Our people searched the entire office in centimeters, and the irrelevant items were placed in the same place. If we turned this place upside down, Matthew's children would definitely call the police and report that the inheritance had been stolen when they inherited it. Some items

, such as printer paper, coffee cups, and staplers were brought in from outside to make up the numbers. We even placed a dozen dossier files in the cabinet."

Liang Xi curiously asked: "Are there any of Matthew's children that you are afraid of?"

Lei's father smiled and nodded: "Matthew's daughter is a famous German journalist. She has a fiery personality and is critical of the government. She follows congressmen and ministers every day and grabs their bags at any time. She firmly believes that politicians and powerful people are not good people.

The surface is glamorous, but behind the scenes is extremely dirty. Facing such a paranoid reporter, everything can be saved if you can."

"Of course this is the public impression and the view of some senior officials. In fact, she is not a lunatic, but she thinks that Germany needs lunatics like her, so she becomes a lunatic." Lei's father gave a thumbs up: "True patriotism.

Or! Even though she is younger than me, I still respect her."

Liang Xi opened the drawer, and there were still things inside, but they were of no value at all. A book, a court trial report, and a box of chocolates to prevent sudden hypoglycemia. Lei's father said: "The things here are basically untouched.

Because we didn’t find any information. We just took away coffee cups and other items to extract fingerprints, hoping to find outsiders’ DNA.”

Lei's father glanced at the person accompanying him. The person accompanying him was hesitant at first, but after seeing Lei's father's eyes, he immediately handed over the gloves. Lei's father took the gloves and said to him: "Go and do your work."

Lei's father did not bother Liang Xi and sat in the reception room playing with his mobile phone.

According to unreliable surveys, a large proportion of middle-aged and elderly people around the world are currently addicted to mobile phones, which has aroused concerns in the whole society. Middle-aged and elderly people represent the past of mankind. If they lose their minds by playing with things, it will inevitably affect their willingness to have children.

.In response, children have called on the United Nations to introduce relevant regulations as soon as possible to further limit the online time of middle-aged and elderly people.

Liang Xi first checked the bookcase. It was obvious that the books had been rummaged through and then put back neatly. As a detective who owns a detective agency library, he knew very well that a person who likes reading would do this, but half of the books on the bookcase were reference books.

, not many people like reference books. The reference books are for reference only, so it is impossible to put them in such a complete manner. This is a good thing, which shows that although the person responsible for the aftermath is very careful, he is not thoughtful enough. A neat and clean office

There is no trace of anyone working here.

Liang Xi stood behind his desk and scanned the entire office. He always felt a little strange, like a chicken mixed in among the ducks. His eyes wandered and fell on the half-pack of A4 paper next to the printer. The half-pack of A4 paper came from logic.

It should fit neatly, but it always felt like they were not a family. Liang Xi scanned the edges of the paper with his fingers and found that they were smoothed manually, not by production settings. In other words, someone had collected the scattered A4 papers.

Liang Xi took away the A4 papers one by one and found four strange sheets from the pile of paper, four sheets of white paper that had been subjected to the high temperature of the printer. This situation is normal. A document originally only has a capacity of four pages. The fifth page

It is blank, but the owner executes the print all command, and the fifth page will be printed out. Since it is white paper, it can be reused.

Liang Xi loaded the printing paper and pressed the button to copy again. The machine miraculously started. With a slight noise, a piece of paper rolled out of the printer. However, it was useless. The piece of paper only had three sentences.

This is the last page of an ordinary water quality appraisal report.

Liang Xiyou walked around the office and looked at the photos hanging on the wall. There were eighteen photos in total, all of which were photos of Matthew taking photos with senior officials from various countries. The locations and times varied. There was a young Matthew in Rome with a red-coated man.

Among the photos of the bishop, there was a photo of middle-aged Matthew and the previous German Chancellor. Liang Xi's eyes fell on a photo of elderly Matthew.

This is a photo of Matthew and a man outside the European Court of Justice in Luxembourg. Although the impression was not deep, Liang Xi vaguely remembered that the man was the mayor of Luxembourg and was still in office. Half of the area of ​​the European Court of Justice is open.

Visitors can visit and take photos outside and in designated areas. In order to capture the panoramic view, this photo includes many people wandering around.

From this photo, Liang Xi felt that he had made a major discovery. In the background was a girl wearing sunglasses and a silk scarf tying her hair. She was sitting on the steps, with her coat on her thighs and a tights underneath, exposing her shoulders. She was drinking

Shui, with his head facing the other side, did not look at the camera. The first thing that attracted Liang Xi's attention was his shoulders. The charm of the beautiful girl made Liang Xi stay for half a second longer.

Liang Xi was not sure. He felt that the girl in this photo looked very much like the female staff member next to Phil. He couldn't be sure, couldn't be sure. Judging from the pixels of the photo, it would be difficult to confirm using modern technology.

Whether it is the same person.

Is this a suspect stealing the axe? Or has he preconceived the idea again?

Liang Xi's suspect is Phil. He is not investigating the cause of John's death, nor is he investigating Matthew's boss behind the scenes. He is looking for evidence, looking for evidence that can be linked to Phil's crime.

There is a premise for all this. Is Lei's father the eldest princess? Did he lie to Liang Xi? Liang Xi thinks that Lei's father is telling the truth, not to mention the family affection card he plays, not to mention his performance throughout the day.

Liang Xi thought that if Petain could bite Lei's father, Lei's father would not maintain normal work and living conditions. At least Lei's father's boss would give Lei's father a holiday.
