Chapter 42: It's not easy for adults, hey

There are three main types of people in prisons. One is gang members. These people are the main part of prison inmates and the most "indestructible" part. No matter who is in power in any era, these people will always be the big ones in the prison. most.

The second type of criminal behavior is more fashionable. Most of them are related to deception and fraud. These people are not gang members. They came in not because of what they did, but because they were not cautious or cunning enough. Caught by those police or detectives.

   The third category of people can basically be said to have not been in the Sabine City Regional Prison. These people have not committed any crimes, and they can even leave the prison anytime and anywhere.

Being in prison is just one of their methods, of course, it may also be a method. Most of these people will serve their sentences in some of the more famous federal prisons, but even if they are in prison, they can still affect the entire federation. Politics, economy, culture and even military.

   As for the others, they have their own reasons, but not so many. People without gang backgrounds like Michael are often absorbed by gangs in prison. Many gangs also regard prison as the main source of blood.

  No one will be discriminated against too much here. Of course, classes will certainly still exist. If prisons can eliminate classes, then... wouldn't it have been successful long ago?

There are people, there is class, there is society. Little Michael is not treated too harshly because of his young age. In such a place where personal bravery is emphasized, bullying a child of one and a half years old will only make people contempt, not make people. admire.

   But if Michael’s father was a person with a "license", the situation would be different, because most people here were arrested by those with a "license."

  In this weird atmosphere, it’s lunch time. In Sabine City Regional Prison, there is a lunch break after lunch, and free time after lunch, followed by dinner and an hour and a half of entertainment time. They can watch TV.

   Next is the shower time and evening rest, and finally the lights out. Everyone has a very fulfilling life every day, at least much more fulfilling than when they were drunk and dreaming outside.

Little Michael came to the place where he was serving rice with a rubber plate. The prisoner in charge of serving the rice a few days ago would give him more meat and vegetables than others, but today, that guy took a spoon and scooped it on the edge of the dish. A scoop of pulpy paste was directly buckled into little Michael's dinner plate.

He looked at the prisoner who was serving food. The prisoner looked impatient. Before he had time to say anything, suddenly a force broke out from behind him. He was staggered forward by someone, and his whole body fell on To the ground.

   He was lying in the rotten vegetable soup, a little at a loss. The prison guards who were in charge of guarding the prisoners only glanced at them and then looked back. As long as these people do not riot, they will not interfere with the conflicts between the prisoners.

   Prison is a unique small society with a unique social form. No one will actively interfere in the situation when no major events happen.

Little Michael got up and was just about to pick up the plate. At this time, one foot stepped on his plate. He bent over and looked up. The person stepping on his plate bowed his head and looked down. Looking at him, one was at a loss and the other was indifferent.

No one in the restaurant applauded, and no one made a fuss, but most people watched with a smile. If the person did not reveal the identity and background of Little Michael, someone might have stepped up to stop him, such as intending to admit him into himself. Those in the gang.

   But now, everyone is watching a good show. For those with "licenses" and even their families, they are instinctively hated here.

The person who stepped on the little Michael dinner plate turned his ankles and crushed the rubber dinner plate on the ground, leaving a...some yellow-black stained footprint on it, and there was a faint smell, and the little Michael's stomach sac shrank suddenly. He got up, and then a desire to vomit made him run to the trash can, wow, spit out something that he hadn't digested in the morning.

He hadn’t realized that his good days were over. Just when he was vomiting, someone suddenly took off his pants, and he picked it up and fell into the trash can, where something came out. In addition to the garbage, saliva, and thick sputum left over from other people's eating, there was also his vomit just now. For a while, his head went blank...

When    was pulled out by the prison guards, he hadn't reacted yet, but felt that everything had changed in an instant.

   At the same time, a piece of news began to spread rapidly in the city of Sabine and the entire state. The head of the investigation team of the Federal Revenue Service abused his authority and caused an innocent citizen to almost be seen by God.

   Just as Lynch estimated at the beginning, he did not use judicial power to challenge the law enforcement power of the Inland Revenue Department, but used the media to frantically tear their faces. This trick played a very important role.

On the same day, Michael was sent to the limits of the city of Sabine and imprisoned at his residence. The Commissioner of the Federal Taxation Office of Sabine personally came forward and temporarily released Michael on bail. If he is allowed to remain in the police station, Only the reporters will find more points of attacking the tax bureau, such as "if he was not at fault, why would he be detained in the police station" and so on.

   He must fish out Michael, at least so that the stupid citizens will not be led by the media.

  In Michael's home, the director rarely got angry, "You are too impulsive, did you know that the General Administration over there scolded me on the phone for more than half an hour?"

At around 7 o'clock in the morning, a large number of reporters were like smelling flies around... No, it was the little bees that smelled the flowers around Lynch. It was made up by nurses, doctors and even through their own brains. I wrote a shocking article, including two federal-level media. Before nine o'clock, basically the seventeen federal states had known about this, and public opinion began to ferment.

In fact, I don’t know how many times this kind of thing will happen each year, but this time it’s obvious that there is a behind-the-scenes pusher. The Federal Tax Administration began to pay attention and warned the Commissioner that if he can’t quell the matter as soon as possible, the Ministry of Supervision may send a commissioner. A secret investigation was conducted in Sabine.

   At that time, the unlucky person was not Michael alone, and it was not just as simple as "exile" to remote places. Not only would they lose their jobs, they might also go to jail.

   For these "licensed" people, it is easier to go to jail than to kill them. They will be severely humiliated by those who were sent in by themselves, and life is not as good as death.

Michael lowered his head and said nothing. He has a bad temper, but he is not a fool. He already knows the consequences of these stupid things that he did impulsively. Discuss how to deal with the aftermath.

   The director scolded him for a while, and finally sighed, "I want to protect you~lightnovelpub.net~ but the above means throw you out to calm the anger..."

   Michael suddenly raised his head to look at the director, with an unbelievable look in his eyes. He is more or less a middle-level cadre, and he gave up when he said he gave up?

The director avoided his gaze, shook his head with a wry smile, "You found the wrong opponent, you know?", before Michael answered, the director continued, "I thought Lynch would sue you, if he really did this To get it simple, once the issue of law enforcement power is involved, the General Administration will stand by our side, no matter what you do."

   "But I heard people say that he has forgiven you in front of the media, said some good things for you, and gave up the idea of ​​prosecuting you. Do you know how much trouble you are now?"

Michael may not be clear, but the director knows very well that the greater Lynch’s performance, the more angry the media and the public will be, even if part of their anger is directed at Lynch—he didn’t dare to stand up because of anger. Fight for your own rights.

But their anger was more directed at Michael and those behind him. Under the media’s carnival, Lynch’s concession would be regarded as a concession for not daring to fight the tax bureau. In the final analysis, it was the power of the federal bureaus. Big problem.

In the past few years, the issue of whether the law enforcement power of various federal agencies is too large has been discussed hundreds of thousands of times, but every time it is not stopped, this time it will definitely be the result, but there is always someone responsible for it. .

  Michael, no one is more suitable than him.

"I will try my best to save you, but in case..." He patted Michael's arm, "Don't blame me for not doing my best. In fact, the best way now is for you to ask Lynch for this. If If you can appear in front of the media together, things may turn for the better!"
