"Two things..."
In the evening at Holmes's villa, his secretary was reporting on some information about Dulin that he had obtained from various sources during the day. After clearing out those that could not be used, he found two pieces.
Holmes sat on the sofa, holding a wine glass in his hand. Dulin gained the recognition of many aristocratic factions in the new party by persuading the old party to support him.
For these people, the new party and the old party are nothing more than the concept of a camp. Everyone is essentially a noble, and some of them were very good friends in the past.
Dulin persuaded the old party but made these people feel that Dulin recognized his identity as a noble.
This is a great development. Nothing can bring more security and intimacy than "one of our own".
Holmes was now lagging behind Dulin. He thought it was a close competition, but he didn't expect that he would be completely behind Dulin from the beginning.
Judging from Odega's current attitude, Dulin had negotiated with him before and reached a consensus. It can even be said that Powers' accident may have been personally operated by these two people.
Dulin arranged everything and promoted the development of things. He occupied a much more active position than Holmes.
If he doesn't regain the initiative from other aspects, he can be said to have been eliminated early, but he doesn't want to be eliminated, so he still has to fight, only against Dulin, not Odegaard.
Withdrawing his thoughts from thinking, Holmes looked at his secretary, took a sip from the wine glass, the strong alcohol made his throat burn, blinked, nodded and said, "I hope it's something good." information."
The secretary leaned forward slightly, with a somewhat excited expression on his face, "The first thing is that we have found the secretary who was on duty when Mr. Powers slipped, and some other things happened."
Holmes nodded, "Say something that interests me."
"I checked the information of the girl named 'Paula' from the local police station. By the way, I also found out that around seven o'clock the night before yesterday, Ms. Paula made a call to the police for help."
"When the police patrol arrived at the scene, they found a large amount of blood on the ground..." The secretary handed over the copied photo, and Holmes put down the wine glass and took it in his hand to look at it.
There are four photos in total, all of which show a large amount of blood on the floor. One of the photos has drag marks. It is obvious that something terrible happened in this house.
The secretary continued, "According to the information provided by the neighbors and the apartment manager, two police officers had come to look for Ms. Paula before, but there is no other police officer in the police record who received the order and arrived. on site."
"The police speculate that someone pretending to be a police officer broke into the house and robbed the house..."
Before the secretary finished speaking, Holmes looked up at him in surprise, "Is this... a sign of home invasion and robbery?"
There was blood on the ground and some faint traces of bullet penetration on the wall. This was no longer a simple murder. It was simply a wanton killing. However, the police station classified it as a burglary
The secretary smiled. Holmes nodded and motioned for him to continue. Sometimes some things are not so easy to distinguish. "Now Ms. Paula is temporarily detained in her aunt's house to be monitored and investigated by the police. Some people in the police believe that the robbers may take revenge."
Holmes threw the photos on the coffee table, crossed his legs and looked at the secretary, "So we have found the girl, her name is... Paula?!"
"Yes!"
He took a deep breath, thought for a moment and then said, "Find a way to bring her here. She will be very useful to us."
Sometimes as a public figure, Holmes is unwilling to use less bright methods to do something. He hopes to determine the outcome in a fair environment.
But many times the development of things will not be changed by people's willpower, especially when faced with such an important opportunity, those small reservations are not so important.
When you gain a leading position, you can show your ambition, but if you are already lagging behind and still claim to be fair, you are a fool and you deserve to die.
"What's the second one?"
The secretary just said a total of two things. The first one is very important. The girl Paula can connect the injuries of Dulin and Powers and create an image of someone who will do whatever it takes to assassinate the leader of the new party in order to fight for power and gain. As long as this image is affected by people With his acceptance, Dulin will never have the chance to become the leader of the new party again in his life.
No one would be willing to allow a subordinate who could plot against him at any time and at any time to hold an important position, whether within the party or outside the party, and he would not be reused in other parties.
As long as this is done, Dulin will no longer be a threat.
The first thing was so important, which also made Holmes curious about what the second thing was.
The secretary smiled a little mysteriously. He looked around subconsciously, then bent down and whispered in Holmes's ear, "I found out that Du Lin has an illegitimate daughter in the imperial capital..."
Holmes looked back at him sharply, his eyes almost shining.
The people of the Empire are very open, there is no doubt about this, from the girls who work hard to help their families and hometown out of poverty, so that their families can afford clothes and food, to those in the bar who don’t care about themselves after drinking too much Judging from the young people who have been raped by someone or who they have raped, in the minds of the young people of the Empire generation, some things are not that important.
In particular, the vigorous feminist movement continues to this day. Sometimes it is difficult for people to distinguish whether boys or girls have taken advantage. So much so that some mothers will instruct their children when their children go out to study or work. When children live alone outside, they must learn to protect themselves.
An open lifestyle does not necessarily mean that married life must be dissolute. All people in this society, whether they are homeless people on the roadside or the emperor in the palace who has no other job besides creating people, have certain characteristics. A twisted and deformed moral obsession.
They want everyone to be clean and holy, but they never strictly demand themselves. This creates an interesting social phenomenon.
This is a bullshit, and it is not a bullshit. It reflects the most naked ugliness in society. Everyone hopes to live in the kingdom of heaven, and hopes that everyone around them will be spotless angels, but this does not apply to themselves. body.
A chaotic life before marriage is a personal choice that all singles can enjoy, but after marriage, society requires that most people must strictly abide by certain things, such as respecting marriage, respecting one's significant other, and not cheating. matter.
Maybe every marriage is blessed by the gods, or maybe people want the world to be a better place.
Once the news that Du Lin has an illegitimate daughter breaks out, his personal ethics will become the focus of public criticism. The entire public opinion will be in an uproar and reach a climax. Although I may not be able to abide by it, others must abide by it, and everyone will. Treat this as a hot topic in the middle of the year and argue about it over and over again for several months.
This will cause Dulin to lose a lot of social points, because he is a bastard who does not abide by moral standards and not only has an extramarital affair but also has an illegitimate daughter.
Such a disgraceful social reputation is not enough for him to hold the position of leader of the new party, because every leader should meet social standards in terms of personal ethics and work.
The leader himself is the spiritual symbol of certain aspects of the New Party. To allow such a stigmatized person, who is not accepted by social morality and public opinion, to become the leader is a blasphemy against the New Party and every New Party member.
Holmes was finally completely inspired. With these two feasible plans, he felt that he was able to do it again.
He couldn't help but stand up and walked back and forth excitedly in the hall, then pointed at his secretary, "Immediately arrange for people to control Du Lin's illegitimate daughter and that woman, so as not to disturb other people, and also Yes, the secretary needs to invite her as soon as possible, we don’t have much time.”
Yes, time is running out. The last meeting of the old party before the Golden March has been held. The new party originally planned to hold one in the next few days, but with Powers' sudden hospitalization, the time had to be postponed. Delay it.
In the last three days, there will definitely be a meeting at which Odegaard will be nominated and approved as the new leader of the new party. Dulin's opportunity is also in this meeting room.
We must get all these things done before them, otherwise it will be too late.
With Holmes's approval, the secretary immediately used some of their long-established forces and white gloves in the imperial capital to do these things.
To be honest, the secretary still felt a little distressed when she made the call, because after tonight, these forces or individuals that have been in business for three to five years or even seven or eight years will be completely abandoned.
The reason for abandoning them was, on the one hand, the direct threat from Du Lin. Presumably Du Lin's character would never let these things happen and let the person responsible for them live.
Therefore, no matter what role they played before or what social resources they had, these executioners will all be invalidated from today on.
These people will naturally return to Woodland State and continue to serve Holmes in that relatively safe place.
Secondly, what Holmes arranged for them to do was not so positive after all. Training White Gloves in the imperial capital in advance and doing these dirty things would inevitably make some people dissatisfied, so recycling is inevitable.
With so much money and interpersonal relationships, it was heartbreaking to have to give up his secretary all of a sudden, but he still informed those people that as long as this thing was done, the income would be enough to make up for the current losses.
Ten minutes later, Paula was taken away by two senior detectives from the Bureau of Investigation on the grounds that they were cooperating in the investigation of a homicide related to Paula.
Because she had qualified documents, Paula did not doubt these people too much, and...
On the other hand, three electricians have obtained permission from Oak Bay security and entered the Oak Bay villa area.
The three people drove a car and asked to enter in the name of inspecting the circuit. The security guard was very suspicious at first, as there was no one doing circuit repair at night, but the other party suggested that it was a good opportunity to repair the circuit after people fell asleep and stopped using electrical appliances at night.
Many people are using electrical appliances during the day. Once the circuit is cut off, residents will be dissatisfied, the power company will be complained, and the community service company will also be complained.
This compelling reason convinced the manager on duty, and they allowed the three people to enter the maintenance circuit.
The car parked next to an electric pile, and the three of them began to perform maintenance according to normal procedures, but their eyes were always fixed on a villa.
That was the villa that the George family lost to Du Lin. Now the price is over three million and almost four million. Even so, it is still hard to find a house.
The special business philosophy and environment of the Oak Bay Villa Community have resulted in the concentration of business operations here, and there are also some powerful people living here. Every time there is a public auction of real estate, the price will quickly skyrocket.
Just living in Oak Bay is half the battle. To this day, this advertisement and their business philosophy are still classics and are still being studied in depth by many people.
At around eleven o'clock in the evening, many lights in the community have been extinguished, and most of the people living here have fallen asleep.
The middle and lower classes in society have believed for a long time that rich people will live a life of reveling in wealth and partying every night, but in fact this is not the case.
Someone did a survey and found that among the top fifty most successful people in the empire's business field, almost all of them went to bed before eleven o'clock and woke up before five-thirty the next morning.
Those who cannot take regular breaks on time are often due to work and occasional entertainment. They occasionally have a few days, but as long as there is no work and entertainment, their lives will become very regular.
This is a rule, and it is actually a stricter self-discipline. However, many people who do not understand it think some things too bad. What is even more sad is that this is often a common understanding at the bottom of society.
After the lights were all turned off and the night patrol passed outside Dulin's villa, one of the electrical repairmen quickly left the electric pile. Before leaving, he put a piece of clothing on a hanger and hung it next to the electric pile.
He quietly walked around to the back of the villa, opened the glass door next to the swimming pool, and entered the villa.
Most residents who live in high-end residential areas will lock the front door of the villa, but some doors and windows at the back are often left unlocked, especially in more developed areas.
The man easily went up to the second floor. In the master bedroom on the west side of the second floor, he saw the target of his mission, a woman and a child.
