Various artists express the complexity and unpredictability of human beings through various forms, and human beings themselves often become elements used as metaphors for certain things in certain works of art.
So how complex and unpredictable is this human thing
It is actually very simple to understand. For example, many people actually thought it was false when they first heard that Holmes might be the main cause of Powers falling down the stairs.
He does not have this need. In criminal acts, purpose, or motive, is often one of the criteria for anchoring a criminal suspect and establishing a case.
In layman's terms, it means "why he did this" and "what benefits will it bring to him". Motives are higher than witnesses and physical evidence in the investigation sequence of investigators!
In some very classic court defenses in the past, "lack of necessary motive" was used as a counterattack point to subvert the final verdict of criminal case defense more than once. Compared with indifferent physical evidence and possible fraudulent witness, the motive can be established more clearly. Intuitively, the first impact is whether the defendant is likely to do this.
When Powers talked about these things, everyone knew that Holmes's motives were insufficient. There was no need for him to hurt Powers. There was no conflict of interest between them, and there would be no compensation if he hurt Powers. He brings no benefit.
Yes, Powers' inability to work would leave the new party committee with a deputy chair, which would seem to satisfy Holmes's motivation - to become deputy chair of the new party
At the same time, the rumors that are circulating also portray Holmes as a traitor and traitor. It seems that he has more reasons to do so.
But people who know more about things know very well that these do not exist, and it is entirely someone who wants to discredit Holmes.
Both the first motive and the second motive are pure bullshit. Compared to getting Powers injured, the benefits brought by these motives are too small and insignificant to be worthy of someone like Holmes.
So naturally this is a lie and a scam, and everyone can confidently confirm that this is just dirty water.
But when people know that this was said by Powers himself, they will begin to question their previous accurate judgments. After all, Powers, as one of the parties involved, has no need to pour dirty water on others.
His motive for slandering Holmes is unclear, and there was no previous enmity between the two. Maybe... he was telling the truth, and he had no reason to frame Holmes.
In the subsequent process, as the situation further develops, these people may return to their original position and hold on less firmly, and some people may completely switch to the other side. This is all a conspiracy. .
Therefore, people are always complicated and unpredictable. Dulin made good use of this. There is nothing more authoritative and more touching than Holmes's own words about the "murderer". Shocking.
Even if not many people believe it, at least the media will publicize it, and then those cute and easily deceived people at the bottom of society will believe it and set off a frenzy of public opinion.
Holmes has completely understood Dulin's series of punches. Of course, if he understands it, he will understand it. There is nothing he can do.
If you understand something clearly and know how to do it, you won't have the trouble of having to slap yourself in the mouth after you win.
Now Holmes is faced with two choices, retain his strength, or fight with Dulin.
The mayors of several important industrial cities in the Woodland State were semi-publicly investigated by the Imperial National Security Council, and the Imperial State Administration of Taxation sent special commissioners to start checking the taxes of the Woodland State. Behind all this, Dulin Taking advantage of him.
Woodland State is where Holmes started. This place is so important. It can be said that if Woodland State is lost, he will have nothing.
This is no joke. The power he currently holds, his status and reputation in society, and the cohesion of his own small gang, including more forces that can have a relationship with him, all come from his current identity, Woodland Governor of Texas.
This state is all his foundation, and once it is thrown away, the consequences will be disastrous.
But if he wanted to keep these things, he would definitely have to let go of the competition that had been planned for a long time, and he was unwilling to do so.
Just as he was having a fierce ideological struggle, Dulin did not stop. This combination of punches was far from over. This time he did not come forward in person, but made a phone call to the police.
He claimed that when passing by Homs' manor in the imperial capital, he spotted a young woman asking for help from a window in the manor. He made the call to the police out of a sense of justice and responsibility, and of course to ensure his own safety. Feeling violated, he chose to hide his name and ended his final call to the police with the words "well-wishers from society."
The Imperial City Police Department was also very confused after receiving the report. They had already found out whose house the destination was and what was happening there.
The chief of the Imperial City Police Department is not a particularly high-ranking position, but its nature is very special. The current chief of the Imperial City Police Department is Kubal's confidant. About a few minutes after receiving the report, he made a phone call to Kubal.
On the phone, he explained these issues, including what he was worried about—whether the old party would get involved in the internal struggles of the new party.
Everyone was very happy when Holmes and Dulin dog-eat-dog. This kind of excitement has never happened before, and it is unlikely to happen in the future. It would be better if the contradiction between these two people could lead to the split of the new party.
Kubal's attitude towards this was very special and firm. He applied Dühring's words - everyone is equal before the law.
Then the police chief immediately selected some of the most prominent people in the department and a calm deputy chief, and asked them to drive to Holmes's manor to investigate the illegal activities reported by the whistleblower.
At this time, the outside of the manor was still crowded. The reporters who came before had not left yet, and another group of reporters arrived. Even several interview vehicles and live broadcast vehicles appeared.
Enthusiastic members of the public called the offices of major newspapers and channels under the Cable TV Group, claiming that the police were about to take coercive action to enter Holmes's estate to rescue Dulin's ex-girlfriend, who had been kidnapped by Holmes.
This news was so exciting that even though many reporters realized what was happening, they still couldn't stop them from wanting to get first-hand information!
Holmes, who knew the news, had realized that the war between him and Dulin from yesterday to today was definitely not the beginning of the war, but that it had entered a fever pitch and he had fallen behind Dulin.
After thinking about it, he said to the housekeeper on the phone, "Delay for a while, don't let them see Paula and Ms. Melissa, find a place to hide them first, and get through the current difficulty."
The butler answered twice and then hung up the phone. Holmes put down the receiver and put his fists under his nose. Dulin's continuous efforts made him exhausted, and he knew he had lost.
It was difficult for him to even resist, let alone fight back.
At this time, Melissa was watching TV with her daughter in the manor. According to Holmes's original plan, they should have met with the media in the next few days and exposed the Dulin scandal.
But because Du Lin took the lead, the two women who were supposed to be his fatal weaknesses became red-hot slag in the hands of Holmes.
Hold it in your hand... There are reporters outside, and there is no way to leave, but not letting them go is also a trouble, and now this trouble is being detonated.
Melissa was suddenly startled while watching the TV. She put her daughter on the bed, walked to the window with her stomach and looked down. Outside the manor, seven or eight police officers stopped at the door. The police were communicating with the people in the manor. Reporters have already surrounded the gate.
Before she had time to think about it, the door to the room was opened from the outside at the same time as there was a knock.
The butler stood outside the door with a cold face. His face, which was full of grooves and seriousness, was not shorter than that of a horse, like a mule that had not been able to defecate normally for several days. The corners of his mouth were drooping, giving people an unreasonable and unreasonable look. It’s easy to speak intuitively.
"Ladies, we have encountered some troubles. In order to avoid escalating these troubles, we have to ask you to stay in the wine cellar for a while." He was not asking for the opinions of Melissa and others. After speaking, he backed away. After taking a step, two bodyguard-looking people standing behind him squeezed into the room, one standing by the bed and the other standing behind Melissa.
"Please...ma'am...", the housekeeper said and moved out of the way. A bodyguard wanted to pick up the child, but was pushed away by Melissa.
She held the child in her arms, glared at the two men, silently followed the housekeeper and left the room, walked down the stairs and walked into the wine cellar.
In the wine cellar, she saw Paula.
Paula was not surprised by Melissa's arrival. She was smarter than Melissa and had been exposed to more things. She already knew what happened.
The two looked at each other without saying a word. The housekeeper was very satisfied with this. He nodded, "I also hope that the two ladies can keep quiet..." He glanced at the child in Melissa's arms, "Including We don’t want anything terrible to happen to this sweet little girl, so you’d better listen and understand what I’m saying.”
"After this matter is over, I will let you leave and formally apologize. I hope there will be no misunderstandings in the last period between us. See you later, ladies!" The butler bowed slightly and left. , although he seems to behave like a qualified gentleman, he is just a bastard.
Although the housekeeper left, there was still a bodyguard in the wine cellar watching them to prevent these women from being ignorant, blind and arrogant and wanting to do something stupid.
Of course, although someone was watching them, this did not prevent them from talking. Apart from the dinner, there was not much communication between them, which also made them very curious about each other.
Paula has been paying attention to the little girl in Melissa's arms. She has black hair and a cute appearance. There are indeed deep traces of the Guarte people on her body.
"She is very cute and quiet, just like you!" Paula was not saying this in a nice way. Indeed, the little girl has never been in trouble until now and is very quiet.
Children over two years old are the most naughty and mischievous. Paula knows this very well. Her sister's children are very noisy.
And this has nothing to do with boys and girls. As we all know, there is no distinction between men and women under the age of ten and after sixty.
She asked again, "What's her name?"
Melissa looked at Paula and said softly: "Alela..."
"It's a good name..." Paula nodded and responded. In fact, she didn't think the name was very good at all. It was not cool at all and was a bit difficult to pronounce.
Suddenly her brows furrowed slightly, as if she had heard this name somewhere, but couldn't remember it for a while.
Alela is actually the name of the watch goddess in the Guart pantheon. During the time when she was obsessed with Dulin, she read some stories about the traditions of the Guart people.
Different from other girls, others may have the impression that Du Lin is rich, powerful, status and even fashionable, but Melissa always has the feeling that Du Lin is actually a very serious and traditional person. It's just that what he shows and what he hides are completely different.
In order to please Du Lin, she read a lot of ancient traditional things, although these things are of little use to her now.
When the two of them were about to continue saying something, the bodyguard suddenly made a movement to silence the sound. A few seconds later, there was a continuous sound of footsteps above their heads, and they could still hear faintly through the vents. Loud voices.
The two girls looked at each other and saw something... special in each other's eyes.
The police upstairs, accompanied by the ugly-faced butler, carefully searched all the rooms in the manor, including the master bedroom and study room - they did not enter the room in these two places, but stood outside the room and directed the butler to push. A dress car with a movable half-length mirror moves back and forth in the room, adjusting the angle and using the principle of reflection to examine these two special places.
The manor is very large, but fortunately we had a lot of people with us this time. In addition to recruiting some reporters temporarily, it took more than an hour to check all the places on the ground of the villa.
At this time, there was a hint of arrogance and contempt on the butler's face, "I look forward to your director's expressions when he explains this matter to my master, gentlemen!"
The two police officers were just about to get ready to attack because of their fearlessness. The deputy director leading the team coughed and asked softly, "Where are the entrances to cellars, basements, underground storage rooms, etc.?"
The housekeeper glanced at the deputy director for a few times, and the atmosphere became slightly tense. After about twenty seconds, he snorted softly, "Please follow me, gentlemen, but I need to remind you that there is a lot of art in the basement. Pin, you can't all go in, only no more than five people can go in..."
In fact, before that, a servant had already run towards the cellar quickly without them noticing. He had to hide the girls in the cellar before the police arrived. This was related to everyone in the manor. One person's interests!
