Becoming a Russian Oligarch After Rebirth
Chapter 1422 - 1111: Busy December

Chapter 1422: Chapter 1111: Busy December

The audience below, including Yefrogen as well as Medvedev and Gavriil, all cast their eyes towards the chairman’s stage.

Whether the three chairmen would believe Yefrogen’s statement was the key issue.

After all, Yefrogen had apparently provided a satisfactory outcome on the surface—the gunman was caught, and the case was clear. Normally, the Duma should not make it difficult for the Ministry of Internal Affairs, as they were supposed to be "brother departments."

But everyone below the stage also knew that today’s meeting would definitely not end so easily because before the meeting, Chairman Grezlov and Rilinov did have discussions with many senior Duma Members, and the specifics of those discussions were an unspoken understanding among everyone.

Although the Duma had the legal right to hold the Ministry of Internal Affairs accountable, they are not under their direct control, and a legitimate and reasonable cause is needed to initiate accountability procedures.

Yefrogen’s "cards" had already been played, and now it was time to see how the three chairmen on the stage would respond!

...

On the stage, after exchanging glances, Wang Ye and Chairman Grezlov remained silent, Rilinov then turned on the microphone in front of him, ready to speak.

His expression was also very serious, his sharp gaze fixed on Yefrogen as he asked in a deep voice, "Minister Yefrogen, are you certain that the suspects you’ve captured are the same individuals who shot at Chairman Grezlov?"

Yefrogen’s heart skipped a beat, but having people take the fall was something that he had personally arranged with his trusted subordinates, there shouldn’t have been any leaks, right? Perhaps this old man was simply trying to intimidate him?

Or maybe it was just a casual question...

At this point, no matter what, Yefrogen only could stiffly reply, "Of course! Those three suspects have also confessed that they were the ones who planned and executed the shooting against Chairman Grezlov, the tools used in the crime, those two automatic rifles, have also been found, and confessions have been recorded. None of these can be faked."

Rilinov chuckled, not bothering with him, and turned to instruct a staff member on the side, "Bring the witness over."

Since he did not turn off the microphone, everyone in the hall heard him.

The whole hall was baffled, wondering who this witness was...

However, soon the staff member brought over a wiry, fierce-looking, short-haired middle-aged man to the side of the chairman’s stage, and the Congressmen below did not recognize who it was, only Yefrogen’s face drastically changed, and he began shaking slightly.

Rilinov waved his hand and said amicably to the short-haired middle-aged man, "Just tell us what you know."

Then he turned his head to the audience and introduced loudly, "This is Davarich from the Seventh Bureau of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the arrest of the three suspects mentioned by Minister Yefrogen was specifically under his charge. Now, let him tell us the real truth about the incident."

The audience burst into an uproar, the identity of the short-haired middle-aged man, combined with the timing of his appearance, indicated what was about to happen, and anyone who wasn’t too foolish could guess it quite easily!

Sure enough, Yefrogen suddenly shouted angrily, "Delovich, have you gone mad?"

The short-haired middle-aged man named Delovich spoke with regret and distress:

"Minister, don’t be deluded any longer!

As an elder in the Police System, I really can’t stand to watch this anymore. It’s okay that we can’t catch the real criminal at the moment; we can continue to persistently investigate until the culprit is apprehended.

But you, by finding three scapegoats and fabricating a set of fake confessions to deceive everyone, it is simply...

It is a disgrace to our profession and identity!

So, after much thought, I felt that I should stand up and expose this absurd farce."

Following Delovich’s testimony, the audience erupted, and the Congressmen all looked at Yefrogen with scornful expressions.

And Yefrogen knew that the situation was beyond salvaging, his face turned pale, and cold sweat broke out.

As for Medvedev and Gavriil, who were sitting in attendance, both had particularly ugly expressions.

They had originally thought that no matter what, since Yefrogen had acted out the entire "play," it wouldn’t be easy for the Duma to find fault.

At that time, they could also help speak up to at least keep Yefrogen safe.

Even in the worst case, if Yefrogen absolutely couldn’t be saved, they would try to get him to resign voluntarily and leave with some dignity.

Don’t think that doing so is meaningless; in fact, it was still very necessary.

Because when the General Election is over and Medvedev takes office, he could continue to employ Yefrogen, since such a qualified, capable, and loyal confidant is not so easy to cultivate.

Medvedev’s foundation was weak, and there were not many people he could really rely on. Of course, he also wanted to cultivate his own confidants; otherwise, even if he took over the Kremlin, it would just be a hollow shell!

But they never expected that the Duma would employ such a ruthless strategy, directly "turning" Yefrogen’s confidant, who was the actual operator, to publicly denounce Yefrogen for fabricating falsehoods in front of hundreds of Duma Members...

Such a matter really couldn’t be settled now.

Now Yefrogen had truly fallen into a cesspool and couldn’t wash clean; no one dared to come close, fearing being tainted with filth...
