The results of the investigation reopened by the Fenwell Police Department in the New England Highlands quickly reached the Port of Manila.

This is entirely the prediction made by Meng Shaoyuan in advance and the influence exerted by Couston.

Coston once again felt incredible. The development of the matter was exactly the same as Meng Shaoyuan had judged.

In a small forest about 100 meters away from Dillon's residence, the police actually discovered something unusual.

The trees and weeds in a certain place grow more vigorously than those in the surrounding areas.

Not long after digging down, a skeletal corpse appeared.

Judging from the physique and rotten clothes, the owner of this white skeleton is most likely the missing Saier!

We can't blame the police for being incompetent back then.

Dillon was still a teenager at that time, and the police would never link Purcell's disappearance to him.

Moreover, almost everyone knew at the time that Purcell suffered from severe anxiety.

It is reasonable to run away from home.

When holding the survey results in hand, Meng Shaoyuan only said one sentence:

"Now, let's end this!"

Colonel Dillon was arraigned again.

When the report from the Fenwell Police Department was placed in front of Dillon, the US military colonel continued to choose silence.

He knew that the matter was so far away and the police had too much work to do.

First, they must confirm whether the owner of the white bones is Seer.

Then, they have to prove whether the murderer is Dillon.

This all takes a long time.

"Yes, Colonel Dillon."

Meng Shaoyuan, who had hardly spoken during the previous interrogation, took the initiative this time and said: "The Fenwell Police Department not only started investigating the bones, but also reopened the investigation of Bruno's murder. They began to believe that the shotgun malfunctioned.

It's not a simple accident.

Maybe you think that too much time has passed in these two cases and a lot of evidence has disappeared, right? You are only half right. As time goes by, some evidence will disappear, but the main evidence will never leave.

.

Do you know what primary evidence is? It means that as long as one piece of evidence is found, it is enough to convict the suspect. For example, according to the preliminary investigation by the Fenwell police, the victim was hit on the head with a blunt instrument before his death, or to be more precise,

, died after continuous blows to the back of the head.

I decided to make a suggestion to the Fenwell police to check whether the wound was caused by a left-hander. Why am I so sure? Because I discovered that you, Colonel, are left-handed."

Everyone's eyes fell on Colonel Dillon's left hand.

Colonel Dillon's left hand couldn't help but move.

Meng Shaoyuan just pretended not to see it and continued: "According to your sister Sandy's introduction, at that time, Saier refused to communicate with other people because of his severe mental illness. Only you could talk to him, and he was very afraid.

You, he will do whatever you ask him to do.

So, taken together, this forms a chain of evidence. Control Seer, the wound, and the left-handed man. The main evidence! I believe the court will accept this main evidence. And as the investigation proceeds, there will be more and more evidence.

Come to the surface."

Although Colonel Dillon still looked expressionless, it was clearly noticeable that his left thumb was constantly moving.

His psychological defenses are breaking down.

Slain said at this time: "Colonel Dillon, General MacArthur has approved the establishment of a military court. I can reveal to you that this military court will be composed of five officers."

For a moment, Colonel Dillon's face turned pale.

This was the last thing he wanted to hear.

Military courts in the US military do not have permanent fixed courts. Courts are located wherever the military goes. Lawyers, judges and military court members come from the troops responsible for military court trials. Military court members are what people usually call jurors.

There are three levels of military courts. The lowest level is a court that hears misdemeanors. A lawyer or an army officer serves as the judge and member of the military court. The sentence includes demotion and pay reduction, and imprisonment for up to 30 days.

The second level is the special military court, which generally hears misdemeanors. The sentences also include demotion, pay reduction, and discharge from the military. The maximum sentence does not exceed one year. Unless the defendant requests to be tried by a military judge, he must be tried by a military judge designated by the commander for at least 3 years.

Interrogation of military members.

The Supreme Court is the highest military court that handles serious criminal cases. Unless the defendant requests to be tried by a military judge, he or she will be tried by at least five military members designated by the commander. The sentence ranges from discharge from the military to the death penalty.

This means that Colonel Dillon's case has risen to the highest level.

"Everyone, I request to speak with Colonel Dillon alone," Redondo said.

His request was quickly agreed to.

In the interrogation room, only Redondo was left drinking Dillon.

"smokes."

Dillon took the cigarette from Redondo and took a few puffs.

"We have known each other for fifteen years, or longer?" Redondo stared at him: "I will always try my best to assist you in your affairs. I remember when you were a captain, you beat up your superior.

, when you also had to face punishment, I protected you at all costs."

Colonel Dillon was silent.

"But it won't work this time." Redondo changed the topic: "I negotiated with Pate and proposed that you die in battle with honor, but Pate refused."

Colonel Dillon finally spoke: "Is there no chance of recovery?"

"I'm sorry, I tried my best." Redondo said in a low voice, "please plead guilty."

Confess your guilt.

Colonel Dillon's hand holding the cigarette began to tremble slightly.

He knew very well what it would mean once he confessed.

"Smuggling and manslaughter charges." Redondo sighed: "You will be stripped of your military rank and your prison term will not exceed five years."

Colonel Dillon's eyes were blank.

Leaving the military?

Besides fighting, what else would you do?

Why did it end up like this?

Why does everyone have to deal with themselves?

"Why?" Colonel Dillon finally asked unwillingly: "Why do they treat me so viciously?"

"Don't you understand yet, Dillon?" Redondo said with a bitter look on his face: "You have hindered the financial path of too many people. Spabanos is a traffic artery, and the Port of Manila is the largest port.

All smuggling passes through Spabanos.

And what about you? You are constantly seizing those smuggled materials. Do you really think that a little smuggled material will kill you? No, you are wrong. These materials you have seized are just some pathfinding stones, and they are even more massive.

The transportation has not started yet.

Those big conglomerates that control everything already think that you are a person who cannot be trusted, so they will take action against you. Do you think that your sister came from the United States and that the Fenwell Police Department launched an investigation so quickly was an accident?

No? No, it is a huge force that is driving everything there. Even General Patton cannot stop this force!"

"MacArthur!" Colonel Dillon suddenly realized: "MacArthur deliberately placed me in Spabanos!"

Redondo nodded.

He finally figured it out.

Spabanios deliberately let him stay in Spabanios, because MacArthur knew what kind of person Colonel Dillon was.

If he stays here, he will offend everyone.

By that time, someone would naturally come to deal with Colonel Dillon without MacArthur taking action!

Dillon foolishly walked into the trap.

MacArthur was a soldier as well as a politician.

And as a pure soldier, how could Dillon be MacArthur's opponent?

But now he understands this, it's too late.

"Let's end it here." Redondo added another cigarette to the other party: "If you don't plead guilty now, they will find more so-called crimes. At that time, no one can

I beg for mercy for you."

Colonel Dillon smoked vigorously.

One after another.

The whole room was filled with smoke.

Finally, he raised his head, and his eyes turned a little red:

"I, plead guilty!"
