"Did Chapp speak?", Lani sat down on the sofa after a day''s work. His busy work made him physically and mentally tired, mainly mental.


    He had to deal with the difficult lawyers and try to get something from the objects they represented, although it was very limited and most of the time useless.


    It seems that Chapp has become an important core of solving the case. Lani thinks he should turn the direction and continue to let Chapp speak.


    This time, he communicated with the Ministry of justice. If Chapu is willing to cooperate with the investigation, they will give Chapu a guarantee of pardon and ensure his safety before the end of the trial.


    As for after?


    That''s his own business.


    "That..." the agent he was facing was a little embarrassed and his face was not good, which made Lani realize that something unexpected might have happened. He immediately sat up straight and his expression became serious.


    Under his gaze, the agent could only tell the truth, "Chapp is dead..."


    Lani didn''t get angry immediately. Instead, he frowned and asked, "how did he die? Did the murderer catch him?". In fact, Chapp''s death at this time is not necessarily a bad thing, because Chapp''s refusal to cooperate also bothered everyone.


    If we trade Chapp''s death for an assassin who may speak, it will also have a positive side to the investigation. In particular, Lani''s heart thinks that this may be Dooling''s writing, and there is a trace of calm.


    Dooling''s intervention will pick him out, the unlucky guy caught between Dooling and Maggs, which is a good thing for him. Of course, he won''t show it.


    The agent continued to be embarrassed. "We''re not sure whether he was murdered. The forensic medicine has made a basic identification. They think Chapp choked to death. Today''s meal bag is a little hard and dry, and it''s stuck in his throat."


    Chapp''s naturally secreted saliva and intestinal fluid from the esophagus moistened the bread, made them swell, and destroyed some subtle evidence. Coupled with the disappearance of the bald cook, the Bureau of investigation can''t take all the blame on itself.


    They won''t admit to Lani that Chapp''s death was completely caused by the incompetence of the local bureau of investigation. They need to excuse themselves, so obviously, dying in an accident is the most appropriate excuse. Of course, they didn''t give up tracking down the bald cook, and reported these things to Lani.


    After Lani gave the local bureau of investigation a "waste" evaluation, he summarized the information and reported it to MARGES, but MARGES gave him an unexpected reply, that is to ask him to contact Turin.


    This reply can be said to be very unexpected, because Lani always thought it was a manifestation of the discord between MARGES and Turin. Unexpectedly, Turin was indeed standing behind the investigation, but Turin was on the side of the investigation team.


    The more and more complicated situation made Lani''s brain a little useless. He called Dulin according to MARGES''s instructions.


    "That''s the case. Now our investigation work is at an impasse. Mr. Maggs thinks you may be able to bring a certain breakthrough to our investigation work, so we have this call.", Rani''s tone is not intense, but rather very flat.


    This may have something to do with his status. The imperial tax administration itself is a little humble department, at least in the past. It was not until the establishment of the special zone of Otis that it was a little better. The huge tax revenue received from Otis every year made the imperial tax administration look a lot better. They could not solve all the needs of the imperial finance every year, but at least they could solve some of them, which made Lani''s life a little better.


    However, if he wants to take the initiative to solve this case, he may not be very interested. From the current situation, the personnel involved in this case are very complex. There are leaders of local gangs, well-known entrepreneurs in Otis city and even the middle of the Empire, as well as politicians in the imperial capital and other places.


    This is a hornet''s nest. Once you really poke a stick, you will definitely bite yourself out of a bag.


    MARGES'' determination to tax reform is unprecedented, but the resistance is also huge. As the director of the imperial tax administration, Lani feels a huge crisis, both political and unofficial.


    He is not very willing to take this position, because in the next year, he will offend a lot of people, a lot of people, including some big entrepreneurs, big nobles, big consortia, and a large number of politicians who are supported by these people and represent their interests.


    Margus can retire next year and remove all the problems from himself, but he Lani is still young. What will he do after he offends so many people?


    Now with Maggs supporting him, he may not have a good life. Don''t you see that those crazy people have dared to assassinate important suspects in the Bureau of investigation?


    Losing his current job has been his most tolerant guess about his results. He even thinks that someone will retaliate for his behavior this year by killing himself.


    When Maggs announced the tax reform, Lani was really excited for some time, but as the director of the imperial tax administration, he knew the complexity. In the future, the power of the imperial tax bureau will certainly be much greater than now, but for now, the difficulties and risks they face are unprecedented.


    Not every politician will have great ideals and pursuits. Great people often exist, but more ordinary people are in this society.


    After listening to Lani''s account of everything, Turin''s only feeling was that he was speechless. He had done his nanny''s job, which was almost equivalent to putting all the evidence in the hands of the investigation team and telling them how to solve the case.


    Under such circumstances, it was really beyond durin''s expectation that these silly beeps could do things like this.


    At the same time, he is also aware of the impact of Rani''s inactivity on everything.


    After a moment of silence, he replied, "I will deal with the next thing. You will fully cooperate with Mayor Webster''s investigation from tomorrow."


    After hanging up, Dooling called Weber. On the phone, Weber also laughed at the work of the investigation team and described their work this week as "carving on dog shit". Obviously, he also knew the news of Chapp''s death.


    Dooling did not comment on the work of the investigation team, which was not suitable. "At dawn tomorrow, arrest everyone according to the list in the photo, ignore their protests and start directly."


    The other end of the phone fell into silence. A moment later, Weber asked carefully, "what reason should I catch them?"


    "Violating the local laws of Otis city and suspected of using cash to participate in gambling!"
