In the early morning, the red sun rises from the sea level, fiery red like a huge fireball. The sunlight at this time was not dazzling, and the light also had a warm red color. The guests who had spent a crazy night in the first district were exhausted and walked out of various entertainment venues. They casually stuffed their bellies with something late and started walking towards their residence.
After more than half an hour of silence, the real morning finally arrived. The golden sunlight, like a sharp sword, cleanses away the darkness in the streets and shines on people. Looking at the rising sun is like looking at an undefeated god of war.
Du Lin was still sitting in the same chair, tasting the same coffee, eating a burrito that cost only half a dollar, and reading the newspaper in his hand. The newsboy stood behind Du Lin with his head bowed, his hat in his hand, feeling a little embarrassed.
After a while, Dulin took out a twenty-yuan note from his pocket and stuffed it into the newsboy's hat. "I want to know all the news about Juan and his family that I deserve to see. This is half of it." The sooner the deposit is made, the better!”
The newsboy's eyes lit up. He thought the twenty yuan was all, but he didn't expect it was only half. He immediately put the hat with the money on it directly on his head, and specially smoothed his hair so that the lining of the hat and the hair were tightly attached. "Sir, you will be able to see everything you want tomorrow morning!" , saying that he bent down to salute, ran to the streets as he did every morning, and began to distribute newspapers.
These newsboys have their own intelligence network, and above them there is a higher-level intelligence network that manages them. If you want to know anything about Illian, you only need to pay the same price to get it from them. He knows most of the news that is rarely circulated.
Juan is quite famous in Ilian City and is a social celebrity. He has three breweries and a bar under his command. These are his legal businesses and have legal licenses to support his production and sale of various alcoholic beverages. As a tourist city, alcoholic beverages are indispensable consumables. Some people even come to Ilian from other places just to drink high-strength alcohol without any scruples.
If tourism is Ilian's first economic pillar industry, then breweries and bars are Ilian's second largest economic pillar industry. Different from other business categories, brewing and selling alcohol will be levied a high tax. The starting rate is 45%. When the sales exceed a certain amount, it will increase, and a maximum of 60% must be paid. taxes.
But even so, Juan still made a lot of money, so much so that a guy who once just burned boilers became the number one figure in Ilian City.
Du Lin targeted him for two reasons. The first was that he had four licenses for three breweries and a bar. With these four licenses, Du Lin could unscrupulously produce legal private wine and then smuggle it into the country. If it is sold in areas where it is illegal, even if the problem is discovered, Dulin cannot be traced, because brewing high-alcohol liquor is legal here. The second reason is that Juan invested in a shopping mall near the center of District 8.
This shopping mall is planned to have a total of five floors, with a business area of nearly 45,000 square meters, and a total investment of about 12 million. If Juan and his boiler family were a powerful family, then Du Lin would definitely keep away from him, but he is just a wine and liquor seller, and he has no powerful help in the political world. He is the weakest persimmon, so Du Lin intends to control it. one time.
Of course, Du Lin would kindly discuss with him whether they could jointly invest. If possible, he wouldn't mind investing half of the partnership to complete the project. But if he doesn't know what's good and what's good, then Dulin won't be polite to him.
He picked up the cup and drank the remaining coffee in one gulp. After smearing the remaining water stains on his lips, Du Lin put the five dollars under the plate, held the newspaper and started his daily walk. Just when he passed by the Ilian City Police Station, the police station had just woken up. The police officers who came to work looked a little sleepy and squeezed into the police station, rubbing their eyes.
The special social environment in Ilian is destined to not be a job where the police can be lazy, especially in the middle of the night, the major entertainment venues are still operating normally. At this time, the tourists or local drunkards have also drunk, and often There will be friction over some minor issues, which will eventually lead to a fight. So whenever District 1 takes a break, the police take a break.
Fortunately, the police station implements shifts, otherwise it could really kill people. The police on duty during the day work from 7:30 in the morning to 7:30 in the evening, and the police on the night shift work from 8 in the evening to 5 in the morning. Everyone rests for the remaining two hours.
The police officer responsible for guarding the custody yawned and signed his name on the sign-in book, then took out a hot Napa burrito from his backpack, paired with thick coffee with milk, and took a bite with joy. . The Napa burritos here have had some changes from the authentic burritos. In other places, most of the burritos are filled with beef, but here it is filled with deep-sea fish. Who makes fish cheaper
Fortunately, in order to attract more customers, the chefs cut the fish into thin slices and fried it on the frying pan until both sides were crispy and golden, so that it tasted more fragrant and had more texture. As for whether it is too greasy and whether it tastes healthy, that is another matter.
The police officer was obviously hungry. He quickly ate all the food in his hands. He touched his stomach and felt that he could eat another one. However, thinking that his weight was already over the limit, he decided to control his mouth. It’s really hard to be a police officer in Ilian City. Not only is the work hard, the police department even requires the police officers to have a healthy image and refuses fat or thin people to join the police force. This is to maintain the positive image of the police officers, and also In order to maintain Illian's image.
He opened the iron door of the detention area, glanced at the work notebook on the desk, then took the key and went to the first detention room, opened the iron door, "You can go home!"
Two strong men who had been fighting each other due to drunkenness walked out with unruly expressions. They stared into the eyes of the policeman a little domineeringly. The policeman chuckled and said, "If you don't want to leave, you can go in again!"
The guy walking behind pushed the guy in front, and the two left the detention area in a big way. The police officer also locked the door and returned to his post.
Around nine o'clock in the morning, someone came to take Elis away for interrogation. However, when the two of them walked outside the door of the first detention room, they were stunned by the scene inside.
Iris actually hanged herself
In panic, the police officer took the wrong key several times before opening the iron door. By the time they rushed in, Elise's body was already cold. The prosecutor in charge of the interrogation glanced at the police officer with a stern look, "I want to know. What happened and why did such an important witness die here?”
After a brief panic, the policeman came to his senses. His eyes glanced back and forth at the prosecutor twice very impolitely, "Who can stop him if he doesn't want to live? Besides, he didn't notify me before hanging himself." , do you know how many things have happened in the Ilian area since the beginning of summer? I have been so busy that I have not had time to come here. It was you who asked for a single room for him. It would not be possible if he did not live in this single room. When these things happen, I feel that if there is a problem, the problem lies with you!”
The prosecutor who was bitten back turned red and then turned pale with anger. He once again confirmed that Elis had begun to stiffen. He snorted loudly and turned around to leave. Before leaving, he said harshly, "This is malfeasance in duty." , I will complain to your superior!"
The police officer laughed a few times and said, "If you want to complain, go ahead and complain. Who can control you?" He casually took out a biscuit wrapped in a handkerchief from his trouser pocket, put it in his mouth and chewed it. He got up and said, "Strange, why did I get hungry so quickly today? It seems I need to eat more tomorrow morning!"
The news that Elis had hanged himself spread quickly, and most of the Guartes said he deserved it or deserved to die, but the response was generally muted. Compared with ordinary people, prosecutors are the ones who react the most strongly. He broke into the judge's office. The old judge put down his glasses and slowly looked up at him. He strode forward angrily and slapped the judge's desk.
"This is a conspiracy, there is definitely a conspiracy hidden in it!" The prosecutor kept clenching his teeth. He didn't want to offend the judge, but the anger at this time made him completely unable to control his emotions. He had been paying attention to this matter as soon as the riot occurred. As the matter developed and finally caught Elise and others, the seemingly reasonable process made him aware of a trace of "deliberateness". This should not be a case of "deliberateness". What a murder case should feel like.
He has handled many cases. Except for a few exceptions, most of the murder cases are crimes of passion. To put it simply, it means making a decision as soon as the brain is hot and then implementing it. In those murder cases that are not crimes of passion, criminals who are not fools and finally complete the murder have never been so easy to catch and so honest. So he felt there was a problem here, so he told the people at the police station to keep Elise in a single detention room. He would interrogate Elis this morning.
What I didn't expect was that Elis was already dead, and someone took the lead in cutting off Elis, the most important witness and clue!
"My dear child, anger can't solve anything. You have to learn to control your anger, and then calmly watch the bad guys reveal their flaws." The old judge smiled and patted the prosecutor's hand, "You have to remember that evil They can never defeat justice, and one day they will face judgment!”
