The old man from the Progressive Party wrote down his guesses by hand in the hospital room. (Due to caching reasons, please visit the COM website directly with your browser to watch the fastest chapter updates)

No, it shouldn't be said to be a guess. From the way he kept poking at the notebook with a pencil, it was clear that he was emphasizing that he was not guessing. He believed that the mastermind behind the scenes was Gladstone!

Because only Gladstone has such a big hatred against him!

Only Gladstone would end everything in this way!

The justices asked if there might be enemies on the conservative side, and the progressives didn't think the problem came from the other side.

You know, the conservative old man is much easier to assassinate than him!

The old guy has been living a very prosperous life recently, and the power in his hands has not been lost as much as he took the initiative to retire. Coupled with the profits now obtained from Slem, it can be said that his life is complete!

He had offended enough people to arrange for people to assassinate him. Basically, the old guy had sent those people away in advance before the other party could arrange it.

So in the end, the only one with a motive was Gladstone.

The Federation is a country that pays great attention to "motivation". It was even more important than "chain of evidence" and "procedural justice"!

There was once a murder where the evidence was sufficient and there were no problems with the procedure, but both the jury and the judge ultimately acquitted the defendant.

Because neither of them believed that the defendant had any motive to kill the deceased, this person had no reason to do so. This is ridiculous!

There are many people who have been let off by the judiciary because of their motives, but also because of their motives, even more people have been caught!

When people encounter trouble and don't know who the enemy is, they will often get something like "Think carefully about who can benefit the most after such a thing happens" from others.

This sentence actually points the finger directly at the motive!

Because they have a motive, they will do it, but without a motive, there is absolutely no reason to do it!

These justices also knew this very well, and to a certain extent they even believed that this matter was more or less related to Gladstone.

But after all, this is an issue between the two previous committee chairs of the Progressive Party, and they need more recognition.

Lynch looked hesitant when faced with this question, and then expressed his opinion, "If Mr.... (the old man of the Progressive Party) dies, who will benefit the most, then whoever is most likely to do so."

The speaking chief justice smiled and shook his head, "Don't play tricks with us, tell us your judgment."

"There is no too rigorous judgment, but the conflict between the two has become public and heated, and there is no room for turning around."

"If Gladstone steps down, it will not just be as simple as losing power. You should know very well."

"After he came to power, he used his power to kick out many old people. He offended not a few people, but an entire former interest group."

"Whether what he did was appropriate, and whether he did anything that violated discipline after taking office, it's hard to say."

"I heard that the new building of the Progressive Party was donated free of charge by the capitalists who supported him?"

It would cost at least tens of millions to build a building in the best location of Bupain. The house built with such a huge amount of money would not be used for operation, but would be donated directly to the Progressive Party.

This means that the businessman must at least make more money from donation than he donates. So how does he make money?

Does this involve some exchange of power and wealth?

These are only the ones that have been discovered, what about those that have not been discovered?

In fact, there were some things that Lynch didn't say, but everyone knew in their hearts that with the current contradiction between the two of them, as long as Gladstone loses, someone will definitely punish him to death!

The motivation was indeed enough, and it was enough for Gladstone, who was initially at a disadvantage, to use some off-the-table moves.

One of the justices suddenly asked an interesting question, "Mr. Lynch, I remember that you and Gladstone are also friends. You often appeared together in newspapers in the past two years."

What he was talking about was that when Gladstone first came to power and Connor was campaigning for the election, these three people appeared in public frequently as if they were really good friends.

And all three of them behave very naturally. They will often invite Lynch, and Lynch will also participate in various activities and banquets organized by them.

Even Gladstone admitted to the media that Lynch was one of his best friends!

But now, just a short time later, Lynch has taken the opposite position to Gladstone.

The justice felt a little regretful after asking this question. The justices here are quite old, the youngest is already sixty years old.

Basically all the justices can be regarded as upright people!

Federal justices are not "airborne troops." Before being promoted to lifelong justices, they must step up from the district court.

Each judge must stay at different stages for enough time and deal with enough cases without any obvious disputes before he can continue to climb up.

In other words, a guy like Chrissy’s husband may become a judge, but he will never have the chance to become a justice in his lifetime, let alone a lifelong justice!

The justice's words were just a natural way of venting his emotions. You used to wish you could all become each other's brothers, but now you turn around and stab Gladstone.

Regardless of whether Gladstone really did this or not, as a "friend", he felt that Lynch should avoid this issue even if he did not take the initiative to defend Gladstone or say anything nice for him!

But Lynch gave Gladstone a knife without hesitation, which made the justice feel a little...wanting to mock Lynch!

You said so well before that, driven by interests, you will fall out when it's time to fall out. Is this your way of doing things, Lynch?

This question was very offensive, and some people looked at the justice who asked this question with some anger.

But the question has been asked. In order to maintain the dignity of the group, others are naturally staring at Lynch.

There was no pressure on Lynch, and he just chuckled and replied, "Justice is my partner. I am a very simple person. I make friends with good people and compete with bad people."

"Are you questioning my justice?"

"No, I'm just curious about your motives." The presumptuous judge said nothing.

The atmosphere was a little awkward. The justice sitting in the middle broke the awkward atmosphere by saying, "We will immediately start investigating Gladstone, but I don't think we can get any meaningful results from the investigation."

"If it was really him who did it, he wouldn't be stupid enough to contact the killer himself, including the flow of funds and so on. There must be someone handling these things for him."

"so……"

He wanted to say that even if they all believed that Gladstone did this, there was actually no good solution.

After all, Gladstone is a very special person. He is not an ordinary person. He holds power and influence in his hands.

Those who have invested a lot of money in him will never watch him step down. Even if he doesn't do anything, someone will try their best to help him solve these troubles.

Lin Qi curled his lips and said, "First establish the case, and then ask him to cooperate with the investigation. Are there any problems?"

The justice sitting in the middle nodded, "There is no problem with this, because if the direct victim testifies against him, then he is obliged to cooperate with the investigation."

"He currently does not hold any government position and is not protected by special laws."

"But with only motive and not enough evidence, you want to convict him, which is also difficult."

Lynch shook his head and did not answer the question. In fact, defeating Gladstone did not mean exposing his flaws and getting clues to testify against him.

As long as he throws away the power in his hands, that's enough!

Now that he has caused public outrage, he will become very troublesome. They will try to remove him from the federation for a few days, and then the party committee will hold an impeachment meeting at an impromptu meeting.

In his absence, there is a good chance that impeachment will succeed.

As long as the impeachment is successful, he will be immediately removed from his party position, and no one will have to do anything else deliberately. He will have to find a way to protect himself.

Even his grandfather and father couldn't save him from this matter!

Because he has offended both parties!

The justices found nothing to ask and left quickly. They had other work to do.

Coming here this time is actually just a... political act, a statement.

With such a massive outing of politicians, soon the whole world knew what was going on!

Those who don't know much about the federal political system may feel that the Federation people are just too... fussy.

But only those who know the federal political system know how much impact this incident has on the federal political arena!

The killer got off to a bad start. This may be another assassination of a top figure in the federal pyramid in recent years, besides the assassination of Mr. Trueman!

If it is not curbed and stopped, more and more people will do this kind of thing in the future!

During this time, Gladstone also made a phone call to the old man of the Progressive Party. On the phone, he lowered his voice and told the old man in a gentle-sounding voice to take good care of his health.

He will also help the old man find out the murderer and the man behind it, and he will definitely avenge him.

It was a pity that Gladstone could not see the old man, otherwise he would have seen the old man break the pencil in his hand and tear a lot of paper from the notebook into pieces.

He actually made this call just to piss off the old man. He heard that the old man was seriously injured and needed to rest.

The killer has been unable to be contacted. I don’t know if he was caught or in hiding.

The only way he could do this was to test the other party's reaction while being angry with the old man.

In fact, he succeeded, and not long after, the old man almost went to the emergency room because of abnormally high blood pressure.

Many of his wounds have not healed yet. Originally, he was older and the healing speed was slower.

Gladstone was so angry that some wounds began to bleed out again...
