Dulin has his own judgment on how to do something, and he believes in his own judgment. His decades of wonderful life in the dream have allowed him to see more and more bizarre things than what he has seen here. The decision Hersman is currently making is what he wants to make, so he is also happy to be an obedient for the time being. After all, there are many things that are easy for them to do but they are powerless to do, such as not needing to Investigation will reveal what scandals some big family members have, and how these scandals can be used to arouse public opinion. He gave Hersman so much money, so he should shoulder his responsibilities.
As long as Hersmann's plan did not violate his own understanding of the matter, Dulin would not object.
Compared with Du Lin, who could take time off from his busy schedule to make friends with nobles and entrepreneurs in the imperial capital, Nicole's life had obviously fallen into a low point.
He was lucky to survive the attack. This was what the lawyer sent by the workers' union told him. It was not a fight, but an attack, an attack that broke out suddenly, immigrants against citizens of the empire. attack. As for the reasons, that’s not important. What’s important is the results. Seven citizens of the empire died in the attacks of these immigrants. What’s even more frightening is that these murderers have now become victims, and there are many people who sympathize with them. To support them is to show contempt for the laws of the Empire!
Just as the lawyer said and as it turned out, seven co-workers died, and now the families of these seven co-workers hate Nicole. They also hated those immigrants who showed no mercy, but they hated Nicole even more. If he hadn't planned such a terrible act of revenge with his butt, so many things that followed would not have happened, and their families would not have been able to do so. Impossible to be killed by angry immigrants.
As the "victims", the workers' union helped the surviving workers pay bail and they gained temporary freedom. Except for some people who are still lying in the hospital for treatment, the others have returned home. .
After drinking a little wine, Nicole felt that he should do something. He was not an irresponsible person. Since he had done something wrong, he should apologize for his stupidity. Carrying a wine bottle, he found the home of a co-worker he knew. The guy had returned to the embrace of God.
He stood at the door and knocked. After a while, the hostess, whose eyes were still red and swollen, opened the door. Her sad expression turned into disgust after seeing Nicole. Nicole didn't even say "I'm sorry". Before she could say anything, the hostess closed the door tightly.
Nicole, who was standing outside the door, sighed, looked at the closed door and yelled sorry, but received a response of "get out of my house". He actually felt very sad, but now he couldn't do anything but apologize.
Not surprisingly, every household was unwilling to give him a chance to apologize, including those injured workers. When he went to the hospital to visit these people, they were all kicked out.
He was drinking wine while walking on the street, staggering and aimlessly. He was not sure where he was going, he just wanted to find something to vent. While moving aimlessly, he kicked two dogs and a cat, and kicked a homeless man's stove, but instead of feeling better, he felt even worse.
He slumped down leaning on a phone booth on the side of a slightly secluded street, sipping hard liquor with tears in his eyes. A regret that was so strong that he almost suffocated filled his heart. It would have been nice if she had calmed down a little at that time. Why are you always so impulsive? When she thinks of her companions who lost their lives because of her own opinions, Nicole becomes even more sad.
It's getting later and later, and there are fewer and fewer pedestrians on the road. Although this is one of the most prosperous cities in the west, there won't be too many pedestrians on the road after dark because it's not safe here.
The danger in the west is that people here can legally own guns and buy enough bullets. Some social activists, including some politicians, are condemning the cabinet's special treatment for the west, as well as the inaction of the state governments of the three western states. These people believe that the main reason why the West is so chaotic and dangerous is the proliferation of guns. Everyone has guns, which seems to enhance the safety of ordinary people, but criminals also have guns and ammunition. They will become more dangerous.
Bad guys dare to pull out their pistols in public and use life-threatening methods to steal money. Do good guys dare to do this
Of course I dare, after all, this is the west, and using bullets to defend one's rights from infringement is the code of conduct for simple farmers in the west. But the problem is that bad guys always pull out guns before good guys, and the difference between good guys and bad guys cannot be distinguished. The protective effect of firearms on people is always passive and will not become a proactive measure to protect one's own safety.
In the west, a large number of social activists and politicians have been calling for a large-scale gun ban campaign, but with little success. People have gradually understood that it is best not to go out after dark.
It's already past eight o'clock. In some bustling cities, this time is just the most exciting start of the day, but in the west, this time is already late enough. When it gets dark, things more than fifty meters away become particularly strange. Vague.
Nicole, who was in a drunken state, was lying next to a pile of vomit, squinting his eyes and moaning meaninglessly. At this time, he felt that the light in front of him was blocked by something, and he opened his eyes with difficulty. He saw two children of fifteen, sixteen, seventy or eight years old squatting in front of him, their hands rummaging through his pockets.
The next moment, he understood what these people were doing, they were robbing a drunk man!
Nicole's new and old resentments broke out together. He slapped a big boy on the head with the wine in his hand. The guy screamed and fell to the sidewalk. The other boy also ran away for a distance in fear, alert. He looked at Nicole who was staggering and trying to get up.
The whole world was spinning, except for Nicole, who was not spinning. He climbed up several times and failed to get up. He drank too much. Since Dulin invented the distillation method, the strength of various alcoholic beverages has increased a lot. It is easier for people to fall into a state of drunkenness. He didn't notice that the eyes of the two teenagers who hadn't left were flashing with a terrible cold light. He was still cursing and trying to get up, but his head suddenly sank and he fell to the ground.
He touched his head, and the bright red blood made him excited. He even lost three points of his drunkenness. He grabbed the wine bottle in his hand and threw it towards a young man. Then he began to regret that he had been drinking too much.
This was the second thing he regretted doing in the past few days.
One of the two teenagers held a stone, and the other held a steel rod more than a foot long and beat him on the head violently. Blood flowed all over the floor without letting them stop. The young man fell into a state of violence. It was even more difficult for people to escape from this situation, until they were sure that Nicole would not move anymore, then they dropped the stone, and the other hid the steel pipe back in his pants.
The two quickly went through all the pockets on Nicole's body, found three thirty dollars and left quickly. During the process, Nicole occasionally trembled and twitched, which scared them at first. Jumping, they became accustomed to it later, and they did not realize that the series of blows they just hit had hit Nicole's back of the head, which is the most vulnerable part of a human being.
The two teenagers took three thirty cents and quickly disappeared into the darkness. It was not until the next morning that someone called the police and reported that a man's body was found face down in a remote street. Cole had been killed.
"We can confirm from the evidence extracted from the scene and the testimonies of some people that the murderers are two young people under the age of 20. One is about 1.65 meters tall, and the other is about 1.72 meters tall...", police The bureau's detectives were explaining some of the information they had received so far to the workers' union's lawyer. News of Nicole's unexpected death was quickly revealed to the workers' union. There must be their spies in the police station.
The workers' union lawyers were very dissatisfied with these official-looking contents. A male lawyer in his thirties who led them asked, "Is it possible that they are two immigrant boys?"
The detectives suddenly became alert. If this was really done by immigrants, then they were obviously playing with fire. However, based on the information currently in hand, they could not identify the ethnic groups of the two boys. During an internal meeting of the police, It is unlikely that they are immigrants, because that group of immigrants will not go deep into the city in the middle of the night, and it is also full of dangers for them. It was more likely that they were some young local gang members. Judging from Nicole's emptied pockets, the chance of an accidental robbery was greater.
They have obtained the testimony of a store clerk that she sold a bottle of wine to Nicole for $1.6 that night, but now no change has been found on Nicole, so the police think this is more like a casual robbery. .
He said bravely, "We don't have any evidence to prove that the perpetrator is an immigrant!"
The lawyer smiled and said, "But you also have no evidence to prove that the murderer is not an immigrant..." He nodded after saying, "Okay, thank you for informing us, thank you!"
On the fourth day of the incident, news came out that the murderers were two young immigrants. This news directly exploded the already dissatisfied ethnic antagonisms. The working class demanded that the immigrants hand over the murderer. The immigrants could only deny this, and the problem further intensified.
There was even a small-scale conflict, and the atmosphere in some cities became increasingly tense for a while.
