Chapter 490 Avoid
Chapter 490 Avoidance
Gao Yi was unable to anticipate the speed and breadth of the spread of this news. Especially after several intelligence agencies stepped in to add fuel to the flames, it became clear that Liudlins had become a new buzzword in the intelligence community.
"Liudrins murdered his lover and burned down the house where the crime took place? Hmm, that doesn't count as... what! His crime was secretly filmed and bought by the CIA? We confirmed this from MI6?"
In the Kremlin, the president was furious.
As an intelligence officer, how could he make such a low-level mistake? How could he allow someone to film him doing such dirty things?
"We got the original video? Suspend Liudlins immediately and let the KGB immediately study the authenticity of the video."
"Sir, we are 100% sure that the video is real. There is no sign of modification in the video. The camera used to shoot the video is a spy surveillance camera that we developed and use."
"So, it was done by an insider?"
"This possibility cannot be ruled out."
The president slammed the table angrily.
What made him angry was not that Liudlins killed his lover, but how Liudlins could be filmed, and how the person who filmed this scene could put this video on the dark web black market and sell it all over the world.
It is normal to resort to dirty tricks when you cannot compete, but there should be a limit to this. It is also fine to solve the problem internally. Why should you rely on hostile forces to force yourself?
"Let the KGB investigate immediately! Find out the truth and find out who sold this information."
After speaking angrily, the president pointed to the computer and said, "Let me see."
The screen starts playing on the computer.
A masterpiece co-starring Gao Yi and Lucy.
His expression was a little dull, because he was too calm, there was no expression on his face. But when Gao Yi appeared in the image of Liu Delins, listened to Lucy's words and calmly but cruelly killed Lucy, the president sighed deeply.
Although many people know and emphasize the president’s background, they tend to overlook the fact that the president is very capable.
Just one look can reveal a lot.
"This woman had only just started learning Russian. She had not mastered the trill and had studied Russian for no more than a year. Her posture at the time of death was not an imitation and was unlikely to be a disguise."
In just a few words, the president has determined that the video is real.
"Besides, this fits Liudlins' style. Look at his tie clip..."
The president sighed and said, "Investigate! Let the KGB start investigating itself immediately! Let Nikolay come up with a plan as quickly as possible."
What he wanted was not the results of the investigation nor the reprimand, but for Nickley to come up with a plan.
What this plan means is to minimize the impact of this incident.
The case itself is not serious, but the impact is very bad. It is very likely that hostile countries will play this video in front of the public to damage Russia's image and disturb the people.
This must not be allowed to happen!
The assistant took the order and left, and then all KGB officials of sufficient rank were quickly summoned overnight.
Hold meetings, research countermeasures, investigate, and come up with a solution as quickly as possible.
In fact, at this time, Nickley had already returned to his office in the KGB.
Nick Ray is about to retire, and he doesn't really care who will take over his position. But if this incident happens under his leadership, he might have to take the blame and suffer the consequences.
Liudlins had been called to the unit, and then he was stunned and stunned by what had happened.
Looking at everyone in the conference room with murderous eyes, Liudlins' voice was loud and powerful!
"These are not my clothes! I have never seen this woman before! This is not me, this is not me at all! This is a despicable political murder!"
Everyone would cry out for injustice, but who among you here wants to hear Liudlins' explanation?
Ye Linsai felt even more happy as if pie had fallen from the sky.
How come it hit me?
How come I was favored by the god of luck?
Yelinsai said nothing, but his younger brother from the same faction stood up and said to Liudelins in a deep voice: "Mr. Director, according to the principle of recusation of the parties involved, shouldn't Deputy Director Liudelins be asked to leave?"
Liu Delins could no longer maintain his composure. He pointed at the deputy director who was speaking and shouted, "Do you think you can defeat me with such a clumsy trick? This is clearly a frame-up. Mr. Director, I request that this video be handed over to a third party for investigation. I think this is a shameless frame-up against me."
Nickley said nothing.
It is now 11:30 at night, and three hours have passed since I received the video.
The video footage has been submitted. Logically, the president should have seen it and also made his approval.
Sure enough, a familiar figure walked into the meeting room.
The President's assistant is also considered a special envoy at this moment.
The envoy did not hold a meeting. He looked at Liudlins, then walked to Nikole and whispered, "The president asked you to come up with a plan as soon as possible."
Without further ado, Nikolay immediately understood. Nikolay looked at Liudlins, who stood up and said to the envoy in a serious tone, "This is a political frame-up and slander against me. The reason is clear to everyone. I hope to meet with the president to explain it in person."
The envoy didn't say anything, he didn't respond to Liudlins' attitude at all.
Liudlins' heart sank, and he looked at his colleagues present.
The top leaders of the KGB are all here. Except for a deputy director who is on a business trip and cannot return, there are twelve people in total. They are all deputy directors and heads of key units with real power. These people are the power core of the entire KGB.
Liudlins needed his helper to say something, so he looked at the fifth-ranked deputy director, but he was disappointed to find that his ally kept his head down and said nothing.
There will be no friends here, but there will be allies who will rise and fall together. However, the biggest and most reliable ally is now playing the ostrich.
Liudlins was extremely disappointed. He looked at his other ally, the seventh-ranked deputy director. Below him were the directors of each branch. If there was no deputy director to speak for him, it would be really troublesome.
The seventh deputy director stood up and looked at Nick Ray. He said seriously, "Mr. Special Envoy, Mr. Director, I think the evidence related to this matter should be submitted to a third party for review. I strongly suspect that this so-called evidence was forged by someone."
Finally someone spoke up to help.
But wait, the evidence was faked, so what?
If you really want to help, you should let the president handle the matter and give yourself a chance to meet with the president to explain.
Liudlins suddenly panicked. If he gave this ridiculous video as evidence to a third party for review instead of letting the president veto it, wouldn't he really become a suspect?
At this time, Yelinsay suddenly said: "I agree with Deputy Director Kerimov's proposal, because this case involves our internal personnel, and this case should be investigated by a third-party agency designated by the president."
After that, Yelinsai said to the special envoy with a sad face: "I believe that Deputy Director Liu Delins is innocent. That is why a third party brother unit is needed to clear Deputy Director Liu Delins' name."
Liudlins was furious in an instant, and he could only place his hopes on the special envoy.
"I agree with Deputy Director Yelinsai's proposal."
"agree."
"Seconded."
Six of the seven deputy directors were present, and then five of them voted Liudlins out together.
Liudlins' heart sank, he knew that he was finished.
At this time, after thinking for three seconds, Nickley pressed a button on the table.
Soon, Alexander, who had received the order to return to the headquarters and stand by, walked in.
Everyone knows that Alexander is Nickley's confidant. If anything happens, he should be the one to handle it.
Nickley said to Alexander: "Take Deputy Director Liudlins to rest. He needs to avoid our next agenda."
Liudlins looked at the envoy, and when he found that the envoy did not show any reaction, he knew that it was too late to turn things around.
Alexander said sullenly, "Please cooperate and hand over your personal weapons and cell phones."
This is not about asking the person involved to avoid the case, but about Alexander treating Liudlins as a suspect.
Alexander had slightly crossed the line, he seemed to have misunderstood Nickley's meaning, but Nickley did not correct him, and no one else present helped to correct this seemingly small but actually fatal misunderstanding.
"I'm not a criminal!"
Liudelins shouted angrily, then he pushed away Alexander's outstretched hand, then he pointed at Yelinsay and said angrily: "It's you, you forged this video to frame me, you are the one who masterminded all this, you traitor!"
The surprise on Yelinsai's face was not fake. He immediately changed his expression into anger and innocence. He stood up and shouted, "You are slandering me!"
Nickley immediately said to Alexander: "Take him away!"
If Liudlins is forcibly taken away and detained, he will be finished.
Liudlins shouted with the last bit of his sanity: "I can walk by myself!"
After saying that, the resentful leader of Liudlins strode out of the conference room door. At this time, Alexander stopped him and said sternly: "Please hand over your weapons and mobile phones, sir!"
If Lyudrins refused to hand it over, Alexander would have to call the guards, or he would do it himself, forcibly control Lyudrins and confiscate the money.
Liudlins has a good psychological quality, but now, he really can't control his anger.
At this moment, the Sixth Deputy Director suddenly said, "Before the results of the evidence identification come out, Deputy Director Liu Delins just needs to stay away. He is not a suspect. Please pay attention to your attitude."
Someone said something fair, but it was just a fair statement based on the current facts.
Alexander looked at Nickley, who thought for a moment and said, "Please ask Deputy Director Liudlins to go to my office and wait. He is not a suspect. Watch your attitude."
