Chapter 39 Chapter 39

Interpol headquarters in Lyon, France.

In the meeting room, Lin Mu was not wearing handcuffs, but sitting in a circle surrounded by more than a dozen policemen with different skin colors still made most people feel uncomfortable.

But Lin Mu leaned comfortably on the chair, with his right hand still holding the back of the chair next to him, and he didn't look threatened at all.

The essence of Interpol is to promote the cooperation of police forces in various countries, rather than an agency with independent law enforcement powers.The police in the three countries in the south where the incident happened have long been managed by Chen Capital. For the court in The Hague, Jimmy found his classmate in the Swiss high school summer camp. The road he paved became more and more stable.

Therefore, almost as soon as the trees arrived in France, they were offered food and drink.Living in the safe house built by Interpol in the suburbs of Lyon, you only need to wear a 24-hour positioning device and show up in time when you are summoned by the police.

Today's arraignment is mainly to understand his relationship with Jimmy Chan, the president of Chen's Capital, which will become the key evidence for Interpol to clarify Lin Mu's motive for committing the crime at the time of the incident.

Hearing Lin Mu's unhurried words, a tall and thin policeman bent over the table, unbelievable: "So we know each other?! In the water tank?"

Another whispered: "I've known each other so soon?"

Lin Mu was talking about his arrival at Taal Airport after the earthquake, and he didn't know the navigator Jimmy.That night, at "Blue Velvet", the only bar in Thal, Jimmy chased him to the rooftop and got into a scuffle.Finally, they hid together in the cistern.

There was still the sound of fighting outside the window, and the water was two meters deep. Lin Mu was holding the wrench above his head with both hands, and Jimmy had only one left to hold.

Lin Mu touched him lightly, beckoning him to hug him.

Finally, an international policeman in the conference room asked from a professional perspective: "Why don't you drain the water?"

The trainee policeman nodded wildly, took out a pen, and prepared to write down the suspect's answer to this important question.

Lin Mu said seriously: "I'm afraid that the waterproof will be discovered by outsiders."

"But according to what you said, the people outside are busy fighting, how can they have time to take care of the reservoir?"

"Besides, the cistern has spare water pipes, and you don't need to destroy the cistern," the trainee policeman finally raised his head and interjected, as if he had finally grasped the biggest doubt in the case, with question marks all over his face: "You Why exactly?"

Lin Mu was taken aback, and then confessed honestly: "I just want him to hug me for a while longer."

After finishing speaking, the well-informed Interpol looked at each other.The trainee policeman meticulously recorded what he said in his notebook: I—just want—to let him—hold me—for a while.

The proud young man had stars hidden in his eyes, which shone brightly every time he spoke of flying.And he went to schools, factories, airlines, and infrastructure companies, exhausted for half his life, and had nothing left.

Alone, met someone else.

It seems that the signal flare has ignited the fuse, and I can't wait to jump into the endless night sky.Anyway, the sky and the earth are big, and having him is a great comfort—it turns out that there are still stars in the world.

Lin Mu smiled with nostalgia on his face.He didn't expect that he would fancy himself.But good things just fell from the sky, for the first time in my life.

The interrogation ended in a hurry that day, because the police officer in charge of the trial received new clues: the uranium raw materials lost by Chen Capital three years ago and the uranium raw materials lost recently were reported by anonymous informants, and they are likely to be recovered!The even better news is that Chen Capital is willing to negotiate with the International Atomic Energy Agency and hand over all materials, equipment and records related to nuclear tests in exchange for an amnesty.

The police officer who presided over the trial was in his early fifties, and the top of his head was bald because of being busy with work.Now the belly is getting bigger and bigger, and the forehead lines are getting heavier.He was not willing to let Chen Capital and the criminal suspect in front of him just let it go, but at his age, he had already understood that in international criminal cases, almost everything was beyond his control.

Especially for nuclear cases, there is the Hague War Tribunal at the top, the International Atomic Energy Organization at the bottom, and the United States and the other four countries on the UN Security Council are all eyeing it.

According to the meaning above, the case of Chen Capital will be settled in this way.In the future, they will continue to do their arms business, but they will not touch uranium. The governments of various countries will still pretend to cooperate and conceal competition, and continue to divide the interests of the poor people in the next local hot war that will happen somewhere.

He drank his third cup of coffee of the day and decided to let his wife dump the oil stocks when he got home.As for the suspect, he let his subordinates know that he would be released on bail first, and the bail should be set higher, so as not to let the media gossip.When the Chen Capital case is settled, it will be released on the basis of insufficient evidence, and there is no need to go to the Hague court.

The suspect, he thought, was said to be a pilot who had risked his life saving lives during the Saltwater earthquake and made the international news.

The envious thought of the old policeman flashed: I was also a pilot when I was young.

The following week was the most volatile week for world oil prices since the millennium.First, the officials of the three southern countries issued a joint communiqué, saying that the oil reserves in the territory were severely over-exploited, and the reserves were less than one-fifth of the original estimate, and would be completely depleted within 20 years.Prices of tech and clean energy stocks jumped on the news.

Ji Yuanyuan bought Sky City, a wind power generation state-owned enterprise, and made a lot of money.However, the media has been talking about sustainable development throughout, and the economies of the three southern countries will undergo overall transformation, starting with drip irrigation agriculture and technology companies to enhance their international competitiveness.Chen's capital has already made plans in these two directions. At this time, it is catching up with the policy dividends, and it is still in the limelight without military business for a while.

Next, Brazil discovered large-scale shale reserves on the seabed.Ji Yuanyuan's transfer order was officially issued. She will take a two-week long vacation first, and report directly to Sao Paulo after returning to work.Jianxin still bets on traditional energy, investing heavily in Brazil's shale oil fields.

When Ji Yuanyuan bid farewell to Jianxin's headquarters in Xianshui City, she was carrying her new bag, stern and gorgeous, and put down her words: "Brazil may go to war, just watch."

After hearing this, Chen Yan immediately began to wail—in order to encourage his humanitarian contribution in the war among the three countries in the south, the American Aid Association is about to transfer him to the Rio de Janeiro office in Brazil at the same level.The sunny beach there is suitable for recuperation.He replied to the email without hesitation and agreed, copying it to his colleagues in the Human Resources Department, and accidentally copying it to Dr. Pete's mailbox that he will never use again.

Dr. Pitt has been sentenced to life imprisonment by the Hague Court of War.

The case of murdering Edison Chan was not given major consideration by the judge because of the lapse of three years and insufficient evidence.However, his sale of uranium raw materials obtained from Edison Chan has seriously violated the laws of war and international humanitarian law.In order to calm things down, the United States operated him and sentenced him to a heavier punishment.

In this way, in media reports, the United States has not only exterminated relatives righteously, but has also become a model of respect for human rights and selfless assistance.Alexander resigned from the Washington Post - he was originally only a special correspondent.Then it disappeared from the public eye.Some people said that he went to Brazil to investigate gangsters in slums, while others said that he lurked into Interpol to investigate the ghosts of human trafficking organizations colluding with Interpol.

Before leaving, he went to the prison where Rakhimi Jr. was held in Saltwater City to see him once. He didn't ask for an exclusive interview, and he didn't even expect Rakhimi's reply.He just needs to tell Rahimi that on the eve of the end of the War of Independence, the revolutionaries of country Y occupied Taal, and later the phosphorus bomb caused heavy casualties to civilians, which was despised by the international community.This is what the Americans did.

Little Lahimi snorted coldly with disdain: Of course the Americans did it.

"But I took the picture." Alexander looked directly into Rahimi's tired gray eyes through the glass window. "I didn't know that at the time." He didn't apologize.It's too late to apologize, it's useless, and it puts pressure on the other person to forgive themselves, so why bother.He thought that fortunately this life was still alive, and he had to pay it back in person.

As for old Lahimi, many parties can't find him anywhere, and he probably died of old age hiding in the mountains and forests in the south of Country Y.There are lush vegetation, clear streams and green springs, which are completely different from the barrenness of Taal.He struggled all his life and finally found his place.It's just that the place isn't Tar, it's not home.

The last international headline that week was that the government of Country Z agreed to the peaceful transfer of Tal.The return date is scheduled for the spring of the next year.

It was another sunny noon after the rain.

Lin Mu stepped out of the gate of the Interpol headquarters in Lyon and took a deep breath of fresh air.

The trainee police chased him out and asked him to sign the certificate of acquittal, with the time and date attached.After signing, he called Vice President Wang and reminded him to check his email.The resignation letter had already been sent out, and the sharp-tongued Ji Yuanyuan helped him type up the draft.

Lin Mu dug out WeChat, and in Moments, Ji Yuanyuan posted a rare in-cabin photo—she boarded the plane for the last time, connecting from Brussels to Dubai and flying to Taal.

Lin Shu saw the green sign of the subway station.Pedestrians come and go in a hurry, no one stops to take a second look.In an invisible place in the bustling city, at this very moment, some people are fighting and some are dying.Some people are parting, while others are in love.

Lin Shu walked down the long passageway of the subway station, and the wind blew in his face, representing freedom.

He boarded the Airport Express.

Tal, Abdullah Hawthorne III Airport, central control room.

"Jimmy, don't play with your phone anymore, okay! There's a plane approaching, it's your turn!" After Ajit was transferred, he thought Thar Airport was a fat job, so he asked his relationship to let his cousin in.The cousin was as nagging as he was.

Jimmy still put his legs on the table and looked out of the window through the newly replaced double-glazed glass. The sun was just right.

"Ji Yuanyuan is amazing, you don't care about her, she can land by herself." Jimmy murmured in his heart, Ji Yuanyuan said, every time he approached Thar, he saw the stove of the mutton skewer stand reflecting silver light from the air, It is appropriate to land directly on the main road to the north.

Jimmy put on the earphones slowly and closed his eyes.

A male voice came from the headset: "Tal, Z129 is requesting an approach."

Jimmy was taken aback for a moment, then turned on the screen, monitored the radar, and adjusted the headset in an orderly manner, only feeling tears welling up in his eyes:

"Tal received. Z129, approach cleared. Third runway clear."

"Tal, Z129 requested to land."

"Z129, permission to land..."

Jimmy watched from afar, the beautiful passenger plane taxied and landed slowly and perfectly, the whole process was flawless.So he also took off the headset, opened the door with the key, and walked down the outdoor stairs.

Not in a hurry, not worried, he stepped across the endless runway step by step and reached the bottom of the gangway.

Then, against the light, he saw Lin Shu appearing at the cabin door, walking down the gangway step by step, and coming to him.

He took his hand and said only one sentence: "Jimmy, let's go."
