Chapter 467: I Can Kill You, I Can Also Save You (Part One)
Withers said, “There won’t be an end to this case at all. Unless the Vegas casinos close down, money will be plundered every day.”
“As long as you plead guilty, you can leave us to worry about the other things.” With that, the team leader walked out of the interrogation room.
Inside the detention cell, the four mafia members were visited by a lawyer.
He was here to simply say to those four, “Boss told me to come and tell you guys, once you guys get out, you guys can have all the fun you want!”
The four of them nodded in satisfaction. Just staying here for awhile also gave them a sense of accomplishment for their gang, and that was how this circle was. Those who were willing to take a bullet or the blame for the team, would rise faster on the ladder.
After the lawyer came out, he went to a nearby balcony.
On the balcony stood an FBI agent smoking with his back towards him.
The lawyer put a file bag on the guardrail and said, “Here’s $5 million dollars, you did a good job.”
This person was none other than Cole, the team captain that replaced Withers on this case. He was a more practical guy than Withers; being able to bite his workplace opponent and also get a huge sum of money, he didn’t see anything wrong with that deal.
The five million was enough for him to enjoy for the rest of his life. In this circle, no one was really clean. The whole society here existed to serve capitalism, so when the capitalists provided enough money, everything would be easier to handle.
Maybe Withers was a tough and righteous guy, but his higher-ups or peers might not be.
With this money, Cole would resign or transfer to other departments. After all, the four mafia families involved in this case weren’t entities that he could go up against. In this case, he would choose money and his own life over actually solving this case.
He would only need to help frame Withers to end the investigation into this case.
