Blackstone Code

The case of Paradise Island has been settled. The person who proposed the plan, construction and successful implementation of Paradise Island.

Whether it is the people pushed to the front by the Duncan family, or those hidden in the background, including the Duncan family.

Most of them went where they were supposed to.

The people of the Federation are very forgetful, or most people in this world are very forgetful.

Even though they pay close attention to those people when the news breaks, they will soon forget about those people after the news is over.

Be it a good guy or a bad guy.

Because the means and channels through which ordinary people obtain information are too single - the media.

This is why the media sometimes broadcasts news that looks fake, but some people still believe it.

They have no way to obtain information through more channels, so they can only distinguish between true and false information they can obtain, and it is precisely this group of people who do not have the ability to distinguish true from false news.

So when the media doesn't report on the people who are incarcerated and doesn't report on the follow-up to a case, people will forget about them because they can't get updates on their current situation.

The "completion" in Connor's words means that all the people who should be silenced have been silenced. If we only consider the closure, he and many others will not be safe.

Only by getting rid of all these insiders can their own safety be ensured.

What's even more frightening is that not only the "perpetrators" have been silenced, such as the Duncan family, such as the builders and operators of Paradise Island.

And the "victims" were also silenced.

You can't let them go home and then when their families ask who hurt them, they say President Bowling, or Connor.

This is obviously unrealistic!

Therefore, these people must die, and Connor arranged for his confidants to keep an eye on them. All the women who had come into contact with him died.

When it was announced to the outside world, these women were tortured to death by "mysterious people" as well as organizers, managers and members of the Duncan family. They had nothing to do with the big shots standing in front of them!

Sometimes it doesn't matter what the truth is. People read news in the newspapers that they think may be true, and then they trigger demonstrations.

The sense of participation gives them a sense of satisfaction with the development of major social events. Public opinion is like a condom in the upper class, safe and reliable.

Lynch told what happened in Area 7 of North No. 1 Vault, and Connor immediately paid attention to it.

"This issue needs to be dealt with very hard. Although the case is over, we'd better not let the tragedy happen again."

"I'll give them a call later. Do you have any problems here?"

Connor is still a little wary. Bliss Island has a wide range of businesses before, so it is inevitable that some fish will slip through the net, and some worthless people will escape the sanction of the law.

But if you can prevent people from recalling these things, it's best not to let people do it.

Federals are vulnerable.

There are always some criminals, like the mentally ill, who will become fragile when their minds are not strong enough due to age, and then they will seek spiritual relief and release.

There are some crazy policemen and investigation bureaus who have never caught them all their lives. When they get older, they suddenly repent and turn themselves in. This happens all the time.

Therefore, any issue related to Paradise Island will be suppressed as soon as possible. It will poke the pain points of the big shots, not the bottom.

"I don't have any problems here. I will send reporters to follow the whole process when the time comes."

Connor agreed, "I want to watch the film before playing it."

"no problem."

After hanging up the phone, Connor immediately called his brother.

"What else do you want me to do?" His brother complained a little as soon as the call was connected.

Officially speaking, Connor's brother was dead. He died in a car accident. His whole body was crushed into a pulp and stuck to the ground. In the end, he had to use a shovel to shovel it up.

But in fact, the person who died was just a "victim". There were family members claiming the body, and Connor's family was also considered a political family.

The case was soon closed.

His younger brother took on a new identity and started doing dirty work for the family.

He did a lot of dirty work for the family, and it wasn't until Connor became president of the Federation that things got better. After all, after becoming president, he had less troubles and more ways to deal with those who disobeyed.

Connor looked at the snowy scenery outside the window and was silent for a while. "We will meet in the suburbs later. There are some things I need to figure out."

Connor's younger brother had no objection to this. This was the family's arrangement, and he agreed to it.

For the benefit of the family and everyone, if someone can live in the sun, someone must live in the shadows.

All the big families in the Federation are like this.

In the afternoon, Connor found an excuse to end the day's work. When he saw his brother in the suburban manor, he sighed.

"Have all the people related to me in the Paradise Island case been solved?"

His brother was nibbling on an apple and offered one to Connor.

"Thank you. I don't like eating apples. Please answer my question first."

The two brothers looked very similar, with Connor's nose bridge slightly higher and his brother's nose a little flatter.

Connor's brother said while chewing an apple, "I am only responsible for cleaning up your troubles. I don't know about other people. I only know that not all relevant people were silenced, and some people survived."

Connor's expression changed a bit, "Why not solve them all?"

His brother spread his hands and said, "So many people died at once. If someone reports it, this case will never be over."

"So we discussed it and silenced all the core characters involved, leaving some peripheral ones to keep them in jail. There is no danger, and at the same time, we can deal with some hostile forces."

The "hostile forces" he refers to refer to those who have different political views. The federal political arena is not harmonious, and the fights between politicians are also very brutal.

And there is nothing to say about leaving a way for the other party to survive. As long as you take action, you will kill the person.

For example, Gladstone.

Gladstone has died in prison. The person arranged by Connor knew too much about Connor.

Before Connor became president, they were very good friends and had a very good time, which of course had nothing to do with butts.

But once core interests are involved, Connor is not one to hesitate.

Gladstone hanged himself in prison and left a suicide note in which he confessed many criminal acts that he had not explained to the judge and actively repented.

Use suicide to gain peace of mind——

He was actually strangled to death by Connor's brother's own hands and then hung from a noose with the help of a prison guard.

Gladstone was an influential figure, and the top brass of the Prison Service suppressed the matter in order to cover the lid.

And Connor was happy to see this happen, so until now, not many people knew that Gladstone was dead.

Those who know will not tell, and those who like to tell are not qualified to know.

Connor sat on the sofa and thought for a while, "Some of the remnants of Paradise Island were reborn from the ashes in the shelter. You will lead the team to solve this problem and dig more to see if there is anything we don't have. "

His brother clapped his hands and put the apple core on the table, "I knew you had no good intentions in coming to me. It's so cold and you still have to work."

"I did it all, but they've always said you did a good job, my whole life, Connor."

"When will I retire? I've really had enough of this!"

Connor moved to his side and put his arm around his shoulders, "Almost..."

The next day, the Presidential Palace dispatched an "operations manager" to participate in the investigation of the Church of Elysium in the North Vault No. 1.

At the same time, male reporter B also participated in the whole process.

This process will not be too fast. Connor will completely clean up all the people on Paradise Island this time.

He also called some other big shots involved in the Paradise Island incident, and they agreed and supported Connor's decision in this regard.

Although it will take some time to complete the material of male reporter B, the material of male reporter A has been sent back to the TV station and editing has begun.

Blackstone TV has very professional editors, and Lynch attaches great importance to these materials, so those responsible for editing are the best ones.

At the same time, the top executives of the TV station are also paying attention to these contents.

For several days, the content of the first program had been cut out. It was said that a female editor vomited several times due to psychological discomfort while working.

But I have to say, the content is really shocking.

The final film was sent to Lynch, and Catherine watched it with him.

The cameraman is very good. He mastered the framing and angles very well. He did not pursue the stability of the lens.

Sometimes the shaking of some pictures adds realism and persuasiveness to the content!

The editing lasted for a total of thirty-seven minutes, and the entire process was depressing. Catherine's expression became ugly when one-third of the way through.

When she watched the end, when male reporter A asked the eldest girl in the family if she would engage in her mother's job in the future, Catherine's emotions were almost unbearable.

The girl opened her mouth in front of the camera, but the scene suddenly went black and ended abruptly, with an open ending.

No one knows what she answered, whether it was an affirmation of male reporter A’s unlimited question, or a denial.

There is an emotional progression throughout the film from the beginning to the end.

From a street girl to human nature, everyone in the family was skinned by male reporter A and put under a magnifying glass for everyone to see clearly.

"I have a little chest tightness!" Catherine walked to the window and opened half of the window.

She wasn't a big fan of smoking, but at this moment she took out a lady's cigarette and lit one.

"What happened to that girl?"

Lin Qi came over and lit one too.

The wind outside was very cold, so he closed the window a little, "What happens to her in the end does not depend on her choice, but on the choice of this society."

Catherine looked at him blankly, she didn't quite understand what Lynch meant.

Lynch did not answer directly. He asked another question, "Do you envy homeless people?"

Catherine shook her head, "I don't see what there is to envy about a tramp."

"He doesn't have to work, he can do whatever he wants, and if you've ever paid attention, you should have noticed one word."

"Spiritual hobo!"

"It's a term used to describe someone who is extremely libertarian and not bound by material things, and this idea is spreading, especially when shelters provide basic food and living conditions."

"Most people don't want to work."

Catherine reacted, "You plan to let them read these things and then actively ask for work?"

Lynch nodded, "Otherwise it will be difficult for us to mobilize everyone to work. We must put some pressure on them, no matter where they come from."

"The situation inside the shelter is worse than we thought, and it's only in actual operation that we find out how bad it is."

"The extraction of resources and the production of goods cannot be stopped, but there are too many people in a refuge, and the pressure on the refuge itself is too great."

"We need every one of them to move, but it's not up to us."

"and……"

"Companies must have such an opportunity if they want to replace the government."

Catherine took a drag on the cigarette, and the cigarette trembled in her mouth, just like her uneasy heart.

"The last thing is what you really wanted to say, right?"

Lynch did not deny, "I am used to doing a lot of things at once."

Catherine smiled, mockingly. She knew Lynch well.

“There are many things that the federal government is not easy to do, but from a company’s perspective, it’s very easy.”

"Politicians can't say they abandon anyone. When they enforce labor laws, they do it in the name of saving homeless people."

"But for the company, when we want to give up on someone, we just need to tell him-"

"You're fired."

"When people realize they need the company more and they need us more than they need the federal government to take care of them."

"The federal government will step back step by step, and companies will step forward step by step."

"At the same time, we also need people to have an awareness and an awareness to change their living habits."

Catherine knew that what Lynch said was very reasonable, but she just wanted to refute it, but she couldn't find a chance to refute it.

Because what happened in the shelter was not directed by Lynch, it all really happened, and this is just a microcosm.

She sighed, "The old era is ending, and your new era is beginning."

Lynch smiled and hugged her waist, "The new era does not belong to any one person, it should belong to each of us, not myself!"

There is another chapter a little later, I have something to do at the moment
