Solo cherishes his life very much. Almost all noble people have this understanding that their lives are more important than money, power, and status. Because as long as they can continue to live, these things are within easy reach for them, and all it takes to regain them is time. Compared with these special people, the lives of the poor at the bottom of society are not very valuable. They can take out a knife and risk going to jail for ten yuan to put money from other people's pockets into their own pockets. They can Taking huge risks and doing dangerous things for a hundred dollars, you can sell your life for a thousand dollars.
People always say that life is equal, but sometimes the weight of life does not equalize both ends of the scale as people imagine.
Ernes quickly called Richard. Richard was still sleeping and struggled to get up when he heard the phone ringing. His private life is very corrupt, but that doesn't matter. He is just the son of a governor who is extravagant and absurd. He has no intention of inheriting his father's power and family status. This matter is not his turn. There is also a relative with a higher pedigree. His more pure half-brother awaits to inherit everything his father left behind.
He was very open-minded about this. As long as he was happy, nothing would be a problem. Not to mention doing such an unspeakable thing, even if it goes too far, his father will not blame him. On the contrary, his stepmother will like him even more, and his younger brother will "respect" him even more.
This is his life, this is his path. He is very sensible and does not compete with his half-brother for anything. He does not have a noble mother or a powerful "uncle". He only has himself and A moss-covered tombstone in the cemetery—his mother.
His mind went blank for a few minutes after he picked up the phone. He could hear the voices coming from the receiver, but he just couldn't understand the meaning of the words he could understand. It wasn't until he patted his cheek that he gradually came to his senses.
"Who are you looking for?"
A chuckle came from the receiver. Ernes had repeated it three times just now, and now he needed to repeat it a fourth time, "Mr. Richard, I am Ernes. My boss hopes to meet with the governor tonight." , please arrange it.”
Richard frowned when he woke up. He pressed his temples and took a few steps back and forth, "Tonight? Is it too urgent? How about the weekend?"
"You see my sincerity, so now it's your turn to show your credibility... Money and other things are good, but they are not easy to get."
Richard was a little irritated and wanted to smash the phone. He suppressed his inner irritability and whispered: "I understand, I will call you as soon as possible!"
After he hung up the phone and thought about how to explain the situation, he called his father, the governor. Today is Wednesday, and his father should still be in the office. He glanced at the clock hanging on the wall. After waiting for about thirty or forty seconds, the call was connected, and the familiar voice rang through the receiver, "This is the governor's office."
"It's me..., I have something to tell you." Richard chose his words very carefully and kept lowering his tone, making him seem a little humble and not like a conversation between father and son.
The governor in the office instinctively wanted to hang up the phone, but he also knew very well that what his eldest son became today was largely due to his indulgence. To be honest, he was able to become the governor because his current wife and the power of the family behind his wife made great contributions, so his current status, political connections and wealth can only be handed over to his second son. Only in this way can his eldest son live peacefully and not die in an accident due to an inexplicable thing one day.
But even if he understood, he still had a headache for his son.
People are such strange creatures. I hope that you will fall, but I also hope that you will struggle when you fall, or at least be reluctant. Only in this way can I feel more comfortable, because you struggled and resisted, but you In the end, I lost to my will and the arrangement of fate for you. Only in this way can I feel more comfortable.
See, most people have this ambivalent need to control, and the governor is no exception.
"Tell me, try to be as simple as possible."
Richard sighed, "Yesterday a man named Ernes gave me 10,000 yuan. He and another guy named Solo want to meet you again. I hope you can see them. Make a decision with sincerity. The other party is very urgent and the time is tonight."
The governor didn't say anything. He opened his little book and looked at it. There was a charity party in the evening. But that's not important. He just needs to show up. After all, Richard is his own child, and his current situation has a lot to do with him. Whether it's his guilt as a father or something else, he is willing to make some compensation.
"I agree, 7:30 pm, third floor of Starlight Restaurant."
At 7:30 in the evening, Bangka walked to the phone booth and dialed Dulin's number. He watched Solo and Ones enter the Starlight Restaurant with his own eyes. If nothing else happened, they should have made an appointment. Starlight Restaurant is considered a very high-end restaurant in the local area. Its main customer base is the upper class, and it is also the kind of wealthy upper class. A steak here costs about thirty-eight yuan, and it is not unusual to spend one or two hundred yuan for a meal.
Soon Du Lin answered the phone. Bangka turned around and shrank his head and whispered: "They went to worship, what should they do now?"
Not long after, Du Lin's voice came from the receiver.
"It's dark, turn off the lights!"
Immediately after the brief busy signal, no sound could be heard anymore. Bangka hung up the phone, pursed his lips, shrugged his shoulders and left the phone booth. He then got into a car and left, but he left a man behind to do just that. He knew that the local anti-organized crime investigation bureau had been watching him, so he left here not because he was afraid of something happening, but because he just wanted to take away those annoying guys with him.
Just as Bangka guessed, someone was indeed watching him, and they also monitored the call between him and Dulin, and recorded the call.
As soon as the detectives of the analysis team obtained the call record, they knew that it was an instruction to kill. However, this call record could not be used as key evidence in court, and it could even be said that it was not even considered evidence. Because there were only two sentences in this phone call, and the two people who said these two sentences both used code words between gangs.
In code, pilgrimage means going to meet a big shot, or to meet a leader. Darkness means that time has come or it means now. Turning off the lights means getting rid of some people or things. These code words cannot constitute effective legal evidence. Even if the judge knows what these code words represent, they cannot accept the recording. Because purely from the perspective of evidence, there is no criminal information involved at all. If a forced explanation is given, the jury will definitely not agree with it. At the same time, the law does not allow such a distorted explanation.
The only thing that gave them a little gain was that they knew what Bangka was going to do. While they arranged for people to continue to follow Bangka, they also sent additional personnel to keep an eye on those people Bangka left behind. If they could catch their on-site criminal behavior, it would be of great help to the conviction.
In this way, time passed bit by bit, and soon the detective responsible for surveillance and photography stood up suddenly, and the colleague responsible for recording beside him was also startled.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
The agent responsible for surveillance and photography sighed, "I just saw the Governor entering the Starlight Restaurant. Could their target be..."
At the thought of this, several agents in the room shuddered. Probably not. The risk of assassinating a politician of the governor's level is simply too great. This would definitely alarm the entire Western world. An assassination, like the assassination of Dooling. At that time, the entire political arena will be united to target this group of people. Even if there is no evidence, Du Lin will not be easy. He should not be so stupid.
And he and the governor have not heard of any conflicts. Maybe the governor's appearance here is just a coincidence. After all, as the most luxurious restaurant near the city hall, isn't it normal for the governor to come for a meal
While the agent reported to the director, he asked all the agents in the room to get down, ready to protect the governor's safety anytime and anywhere.
The governor did not know that the Anti-Organized Crime Investigation Bureau was suddenly busy because of his appearance. He walked straight to the reserved table, where Soro and Ones were already waiting for him.
The three shook hands and sat down respectively. The governor shook his head and said: "To be honest, I don't like your style of doing things. You should not contact Richard. He does not belong to this matter and has nothing to do with us. "
Solo smiled and said, "I'm very sorry. Please believe in our sincerity and determination, because we have no other choice but to use such a despicable method. Please forgive me. Speaking of which, the Anthem Consortium headquarters is recruiting recently. Analyst, I think Mr. Richard may be qualified, what do you think?”
The governor couldn't help laughing, "A very shameless method..." He pointed at Solo, "But it's very effective!"
"I don't have much time. Should we make things clear before dinner?"
With the governor’s straightforward opening remarks, Soro couldn’t talk around in circles with him, “One million in cash, a villa, and the friendship of the Cape family! I heard that you plan to participate in the position of vice chairman of the next new party committee. Election?" He smiled with his teeth exposed, "I think we can provide you with some help in this regard!"
