Blackstone Code

The fierce impact in his ears and the instant feeling of weightlessness gave Mr. Pence an unreal feeling!

As if everything in this world is fake, as if the life he has experienced is just a dream he had in another world!

The screams of people on the street and the frightened faces made him feel unwilling.

He is only in his thirties, and he doesn’t want to die yet!

But God didn't seem to like him very much. The feeling of weakness coming from his body made his world gradually darken and he fainted.

The driver who got out of the pickup truck smelled of alcohol. He looked at the phone booth that had been knocked to a 45-degree angle, and there was an almost invisible arc at the corner of his mouth.

Then there was an expression of panic and fear on his face. He grabbed his hair and knelt on the ground, constantly repenting and apologizing for everything he had done, as if it was true!

Federal phone booths are strong.

Because there is a concrete foundation stone under the phone booth, which is tightly controlled on the base through thumb-thick screws.

This is for phone booths to be stolen.

When phone booths first began to be popularized across the Commonwealth, there were two most common situations.

Either the phone was smashed or the cash box inside was robbed.

Or, the entire phone booth was stolen.

Later, after many new designs, the current phone booth was born.

Sturdy, anti-theft and durable.

The small box that the payphone used to store coins was designed separately from the entire phone and was very reliable.

Even if someone smashes it, it won't damage the phone itself. At most, it will only break the outer casing.

This reduces the use cost and risk cost of the phone booth, so when the pickup truck hits it, it will not be damaged or knocked away at once.

With appropriate slowing down, Mr. Pence is not dead!

As the pickup truck was pulled back, firefighters opened the deformed door and rescued Pence, and it seemed that was the end of it.

The driver was arrested for dangerous driving and faced the possibility of paying Pence's rescue and medical expenses, as well as mental and compensation, a fine of fifty to one hundred dollars, and a prison sentence of not more than thirty-six weeks.

The penalty for dangerous driving is not too severe. At this time, the federal dangerous behavior of driving after drinking is not fully included in the scope of the crime.

Judicially, the maximum fine will not exceed 100 yuan and compensation for various losses.

The sentence will not be too long, two or three years, which is a severe sentence that will only be imposed when it has caused great panic.

Most people who die in a car accident don't do it for too long.

After all, the car accident itself did not occur on the initiative of subjective consciousness, and it was not premeditated.

In the Federation, as long as the crime is not premeditated, it is not bad in nature. God allows humans to commit crimes and reform, and the law will naturally not deny them opportunities!

However, there is a special "punitive" mechanism in the federal judiciary. If the court believes that the criminal should receive a profound lesson, the amount of the fine and the prison term can be increased many, many times according to the judge's own wishes.

It may even be a sentence of one hundred years in prison and a fine of hundreds or tens of millions!

These methods used in political strife are rarely used on a truck driver who has three children to support. If nothing goes wrong, he will be out after sitting for half a year at most.

There's a good chance you won't even need to go to jail, just do more community volunteer work or something like that.

It didn't take long for the streets to regain calm, and the telephone service company arranged for someone to replace the unfortunate phone booth.

After resuscitation, Mr. Burns suddenly woke up in the middle of the night after being frightened far more than he was actually hurt.

He looked at the unfamiliar and somewhat unique environment around him, and all he smelled was the smell of disinfectant. For some reason, his violent heartbeat gradually calmed down.

People are very strange. They are afraid of going to the hospital, but after going there, they become calm and feel safe.

He touched his head, it hurt a little.

Because he was using a public phone booth without wearing a helmet, there was a big bump on his head, but there were no wounds on his body.

Only when you almost die once can you feel the beauty of life.

At one o'clock in the evening, the nurse came in for rounds and saw Pence waking up, and then notified the doctor on duty.

Because someone would pay for Pence's medical expenses, the hospital generously gave him the best treatment.

After asking about his current subjective feelings, the doctor gave him a reassuring smile and left.

But not long after the doctor left, the phone placed under the window sill suddenly rang.

This was a high-end medical ward, and he was alone.

The medical equipment piled up beside the bed indirectly told him the expensive treatment costs here, and only rich people could live here.

The ringing of the phone frightened him and at the same time, his brain started to hurt.

The ringing of the phone alerted the nurse outside the door, and she looked at the phone strangely.

In fact, its function is not to "ring", but as a "communication fee" of fifteen yuan per day, which is added to the overall charge!

Most people who live in this room don't really need it. Who is seriously ill and hospitalized and wants to be disturbed by others?

If you are really disturbed, it is not because of phone calls. Those who can be disturbed by phone calls may not have a distinguished status.

"Want to take it?" The nurse walked to the table and looked at Pence lying on the bed.

Pence showed obvious discomfort. He wanted to refuse, but finally nodded.

The nurse put the phone on the bedside table and left.

Pence took a deep breath and picked up the phone, when a familiar voice came from the other end.

"I told you, we'll still talk."

Pence's breathing began to become rapid, and the instrument used to display blood pressure began to update rapidly, with each second of refresh increasing a number.

Pence gritted his teeth and squeezed his voice out from between his teeth, "That was not a car accident, it was a murder!"

An obviously contemptuous laugh came from the receiver, "Mr. Pence, there are thousands of car accidents in the Commonwealth every day."

“At least a dozen people are killed in car crashes every day.”

"You said what just happened to you was murder. Do you think the court will believe you?"

"And do you really think we would contact you without any evidence?"

"Don't forget that money in your account!"

"We have ways to trace the source of the money, but some people think that you should be given a chance. Our act of kindness should be able to save time and costs."

"This is our last phone call, Mr. Pence."

"If you insist on not telling me, these are your last twenty-four hours."

"I'm not threatening you, I'm just telling you a fact!"

It was much easier for Lynch to check an account than it was for the federal government to check an account, and he soon figured out where Pence’s money came from—overseas.

It will take some time to trace the overseas accounts. Lynch believes that the payer of the money is actually in China.

Lying in the hospital bed, Pence felt the strong sense of danger again. After a brief silence, he said a name.

He couldn't afford to play this dangerous game, he could only turn himself into a traitor in the game.

That was the name of a broker who was slightly famous in Bupen.

The political operation of the federation is like this. There is often no direct connection between the instigators behind the scenes and the executors.

They will complete the entire process through one or more third parties, that is, various and more brokers.

For example, if someone wants to do something, he will contact a broker he knows.

The broker will give a quotation with a certain overflow, and if he can do it himself, he will contact the execution party himself.

If he is unable to do it and lacks the resources in this area, he will contact other brokers and subcontract the task.

This can well protect the safety of the people behind the scenes. Unless they encounter force majeure factors, the people behind the scenes are safe most of the time.

Those lax-talking brokers have disappeared in Bupen, and the remaining ones who are still active naturally illustrate their ability to keep secrets!

This set of rules has been in operation for as long as the federal government has existed.

If it exists, there must be a reason for its existence.

"If you hadn't lied to me, this nightmare would have ended here..."

This answer made Pence breathe a big sigh of relief. He smelled the pleasant smell of disinfectant, and his mental exhaustion made him quickly fall into a dream!

He was so confused that he didn't know how long he had rested. When he opened his eyes again, it was already bright outside the window. He picked up the phone to contact his boss and wanted to talk about asking for leave.

At this moment, three people pushed the door directly in.

"Mr. Pence, please put down the phone."

The person walking at the front walked directly to the bedside, raised his hand and pressed the button on the phone, and took out his ID.

"Senior Agent of the Federal Security Council, we suspect that you are suspected of leaking state secrets abroad. We need your cooperation in the following investigations!"

At this time, Pence's head was buzzing, and every time his heart beat, he felt that his head was getting bigger again!

There is no good end for betrayers. Even Mr. Trueman, who is full of idealistic romanticism, will not tolerate betrayers.

Pence was quickly taken away from the hospital by the Security Council, which also made some people sensitive.

Senator Langdon was still enjoying a delicious breakfast when the phone suddenly rang not far away.

Most people don't call people during breakfast because it's private time and it's rude to disturb someone during their private time.

What's more, Senator Langdon is going to work next. If you have any matters, you can discuss them during working hours. It doesn't make much sense to arrive thirty or fifty minutes early, and it will make people feel a little dissatisfied.

Senator Langdon asked the servant to bring the phone over. He sat at the dining table and picked up the phone.

The content on the phone made his expression change from calm at first to a frown.

After hanging up the phone, he sat at the dining table and thought for a long time before picking up the phone again.

He needs to communicate with Lynch!
