Compared to others,

it's very clear that at critical moments, Rapp Carter knows how to choose sides better.

This is also why Dirk Carter wanted to transfer him to the inspection team. To put it bluntly, he was giving him a chance.

Around two o'clock in the afternoon.

Three buses drove into the Silverwood City Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection's education base.

This place was designated by Dirk Carter as the station for the inspection team.

This time, The Supreme Disciplinary Committee sent over more than 50 people to assist Dirk Carter.

From this scale, no matter who Megan Goodman's case involves, Bohdan Sherwood intends to bring him down.

Three o'clock in the afternoon.

Dirk Carter held a meeting with the members of the inspection team.

Then he divided the whole team into two squads.

One team was coordinated by Erastus Hamilton, and the other was led by Athena Meyer.

Hamilton's team was mainly responsible for Brent Lowell's case.

Meyer's team's main focus was Lane Quincy's hired murder case.

Both cases started simultaneously.

This made the entire officialdom of Silverwood City anxious, not knowing what exactly was lurking behind such a large operation, and who might be the next to fall.

Around five o'clock in the evening.

Dirk Carter was assigning tasks in his office.

At this moment, Heath Woods knocked and entered.

"What's up?"

Dirk Carter asked.

Heath Woods said, "Leader, Mayor Giles' secretary has come to confess."

"Oh?"

Dirk Carter was slightly taken aback.

Then he smiled slightly and said, "It seems our esteemed Mayor Giles is not yet intimidated by our momentum. No problem, send someone to interrogate Tina Griffin, and I'll go meet with Brent Lowell and put on a good show for him."

"Got it."

Heath Woods received the order and left.

At about half-past five.

Brent Lowell was escorted by two commission staff members into the temporary interrogation room.

Just like before, he still had a nonchalant attitude.

He yawned repeatedly as he was cuffed to the interrogation chair.

"Young comrade, I'm telling you, aren't you tired of this incessant bother? I've explained this case to the point of exhaustion, dragging me here and there all the time, aren't you tired?"

Brent Lowell said to the two officers guarding the room.

"Tired?"

At that moment, a familiar voice came from the door.

Brent Lowell shuddered and looked up to see Dirk Carter standing at the door.

He was stunned for a moment and asked, "What's going on? Isn't my case handled by the county commission? How did it end up at the municipal commission?"

"You're mistaken, your case has now been elevated."

Dirk Carter said.

Brent Lowell was momentarily taken aback.

He asked, "The State Commission is dealing with it?"

Dirk Carter slowly walked up to him.

He slapped a document with a red stamp in front of him and said, "Take a look, the party and government still attach great importance to you."

Brent Lowell glanced at the document.

His expression froze suddenly.

He exclaimed, "The Supreme Disciplinary Committee? My... my case needs the Supreme Disciplinary Committee to handle? Isn't that overkill for such a minor issue?"

"I think it's quite appropriate, considering the extensive list of charges against you; embezzlement, bribery, abuse of power, rape, intentional harm, organizing, and leading a mafia-style organization. Oh, and deliberate murder too."

Dirk Carter said leisurely.

Brent Lowell furrowed his brows and said, "Secretary Carter, I don't understand what you're saying, I admit to the earlier charges, but what's with the murder charge?"

"Polly Linden, since we can't find the real murderer, there must be a scapegoat, right? Anyway, I didn't bring you here today to ask you anything."

After finishing,

Dirk Carter waved to a staff member and said, "Bring the items."

The staff member handed a stack of papers to Dirk Carter.

Dirk Carter put them in front of Brent Lowell.

Taking out a pen, he said, "Sign it."

Brent Lowell gave a quick glance at the first page.

It was a transcript of his interrogation, detailing how he supposedly murdered Polly Linden.

Those words were never spoken by him, meaning this transcript was fabricated by Dirk Carter.

"I never said any of this, why should I sign?"

Brent Lowell asked.

Dirk Carter nodded and said, "If you won't sign, then give us your fingerprint."

"I won't give my fingerprint. I told you, I never said these things."

Brent Lowell said.

Dirk Carter didn't want to argue further.

He waved his hand.

The two staff members approached Brent Lowell, forcibly holding his hand, dipping it in ink, and pressing it down on the document's signature line.

After the fingerprints were set,

Dirk Carter, satisfied, picked up the confession and took a look.

He said, "Alright, that's it, take him away."

"Dirk Carter, you can't do this, I'll overturn this in court, I won't confess to murder."

Brent Lowell was lifted by the two staff members.

He struggled as he shouted at Dirk Carter.

Dirk Carter unhurriedly smiled and said, "Overturn? You must live to see the courtroom day, take him away!"

To act all the way through.

At this moment, Brent Lowell began to panic.

He initially thought no matter how many charges, they wouldn't result in a death penalty.

But adding this murder charge changed the nature entirely.

Dirk Carter's orchestrated scene made him realize that Dirk Carter was determined to end his life in some way, either by "illness" or "accident."

He didn't want to die.

That was his bottom line.

During the process of being dragged out,

the more he thought about it, the more fearful he became.

In that instant, all his psychological defenses collapsed.

He grabbed the door frame tightly and turned to shout at Dirk Carter, "Secretary Carter, I confess, I confess, Polly Linden wasn't killed by me, Astrid Giles killed her, it had nothing to do with me, nothing…"

"Astrid Giles? She clearly told me you have no evidence of her killing."

Dirk Carter snorted coldly and said.

Brent Lowell anxiously shouted, "I have no evidence of her killing, but that day she took Polly Linden away, and the next day Polly Linden didn't come back. I called her, and she said Polly Linden was accidentally killed by her, and told me to erase all evidence of Polly Linden's existence. I... I had no choice, she... she's helped me a lot over the years, I... could only do it…"

With this sentence,

Dirk Carter knew it was a success.

Impatiently waving his hand, he said, "Alright, I'll give you a chance."

Brent Lowell, with a grateful heart, was re-cuffed to the chair, and the interrogation team intervened, finally unveiling a long-buried mystery.

The events took place three months ago.

Two foreign businessmen intended to invest in Silverwood City.

To secure this achievement, Astrid Giles called Brent Lowell, instructing him to prepare.

Since similar situations had occurred before,

upon receiving the call, Brent Lowell immediately booked a restaurant.

Of course, to entertain the foreign businessmen, a beauty to accompany was naturally necessary.
