Blackstone Code

People's cognition of beauty, feeling of beauty, and demand for beauty are second only to the demand for wealth and power.

In some classes that cannot obtain wealth and power, the demand for beauty will surpass these two elements and become the first goal people pursue.

Lynch's handsomeness is also a kind of beauty. When the policeman has a good impression of Lynch and empathizes with him because he lost the ring he wanted to give to his girlfriend, everything changes.

Of course, even without these changes, Lynch would keep things going. He was in a phone booth outside the antique store. He was just about to call the police to report a sale of stolen goods. The car with its lights but no siren stopped outside the antique store.

Two policemen got out of the car, and one of them even pulled out a pistol. It seemed that they were on duty.

This made Lynch feel a little... confused, he hung up the phone, hesitated, and stared at Michael's house all morning to noon, he wasn't sure if Michael Jr. got the ring, but now it seems that things are more important than his own. A little more complicated than expected.

Just when he was considering whether to sneak into Michael's house again to check the gold ring, he saw little Michael struggled to be escorted out by two police officers, and put handcuffs on him. Seeing this scene, Lynch breathed a sigh of relief , I also feel worthwhile for my two slightly trembling legs.

He was chasing Michael's car on his bicycle. If the bison was not so eye-catching, he might have missed it at the intersection. Fortunately, the orange background color and the big red flame pattern are all over the street. They are very eye-catching, allowing him to find the target at a glance.

Little Michael would never have thought that this gold ring would make him a "prisoner", let alone that he was caught in the jurisdiction of another police station because he deliberately ran a little farther.

Every city in Baylor Federation has a regional police station. This police station is often located near the city hall, and its work is mostly administrative. In other words, the job of the regional police station is management, not attendance.

Those who are really in charge of front-line work are the various sub-bureaus, such as the XX Street Branch of Sabine City, and the XX District Branch.

It seems that each branch is independent of each other, but there are also some things that are shared with each other, such as certain information.

Little Michael's actions hurt him, if he sells this gold ring in an antique shop near where he lives, then the local divisional police department will be responsible for arresting him, and he will eventually meet the sheriff he met this morning, In this way, there will be some opportunities for operation, or communication channels.

But he didn't do that. He was arrested after crossing more than one district. The police station in this district didn't know anything about him. Naturally, it was impossible to sit down and have a good talk with a burglar, let alone listen to his nonsense. ——Every criminal who is caught in the police station says he is innocent until all the evidence is presented in court.

The next step is to wait and operate. Lynch rode his bicycle back to the warehouse area, waiting for the "summon" from the police station, not to investigate him, but to ask him to assist in the investigation. He will definitely cooperate with the police's request, and he will Take the initiative to remove the suspicion for Michael, yes, he is such an upright, kind and kind-hearted person, and he will never frame others.

As soon as he returned to the warehouse, he found that Vera's mood seemed to be a little off. As a considerate big boy, he took the initiative to ask about it.

"You don't seem to be feeling well?" He walked to Vera with a cup of hot milk and put it on the table in front of her, "Maybe you won't be used to drinking hot milk, but trust me, it's good for you." You are good."

After Vera said thank you, she took a sip of hot milk. This was a rare experience for her. You must know that in Baylor Federation and even the whole world, people do not have the habit of drinking heated liquid, even if Those girls lying on the delivery bed would also gulp down some cold drinks soaked in ice cubes.

When the first sip of hot milk entered Vera's mouth with a strong milky aroma, she was a little surprised by the comfort that the heat that was slightly higher than body temperature spread to the whole body as the milk slid into her stomach.

She never thought that hot milk would taste so delicious, it was more fragrant and more comfortable than refrigerated or room temperature milk.

"Thank you!", she put down the glass, and thanked again, "I'm fine, thank you for your concern, I just... just leave me alone for a while, okay?"

Lynch shrugged and walked away from him, "Of course, but you must call me if you need anything!"

After the two looked at each other, Lynch left happily, while Vera's face was full of sadness that she didn't realize.

When she went back last night, she found that her husband was drunk again. He has always come back drunk these days. Vera can understand, after all, now is an opportunity, once Garp gets the permission from the management to become a partner of the company , the status of the entire family will change accordingly.

She is very considerate of her husband, and she loves her husband very much. He drinks so much alcohol every day, which is not good for his health at all, but she can't persuade him. Garp is a chauvinist and the head of the family. She persuades him not him.

Just last night, when she was changing pajamas for her husband who was sleeping soundly on the bed as usual, she accidentally found a few lipstick marks on his buttocks.

At that moment, a bolt of lightning tore her heart, and she almost couldn't breathe.

She never thought that she would face such a day, and she would not be as naive as the child who was explaining the situation in the police station, thinking that this was just a "joke" among colleagues.

The pants are all off, this is no longer a joke.

She changed Garp's clothes in a daze and guiltily erased the evidence as if she had made a mistake. Although she pretended to be the same as usual, her heart was already messed up.

She needs calmness and distance. She came very early today, and her whole body seems to be in despair, and her soul is about to freeze.

She subconsciously picked up the hot milk and took a sip. The heat brought by the milk warmed her body and made her feel better. She didn't know what to do, and her mind was very confused.

divorce?

Even if she could leave Garp, Garp would not allow her to do so. This is a hypocritical society, people don't really care about the family situation, but always take the harmony and happiness of the family as a measure of a successful person one of the standards.

From the management of the company to the president of this federation, they are constantly declaring the value and role of the family to themselves and to society.

It's Garp's rising season, he won't agree, and even if he agrees, what will the child do?

Doubt is the cancer of trust. Once the seeds of doubt are planted, all trust will begin to disintegrate. Every time Garp worked overtime and every time he went out, in Vera's heart at this time, it seemed that the purpose of cheating was excuse.

She even felt that her marriage was a scam!

It's going to collapse, the sky is going to collapse!

The more pessimistic people are, the easier it is to imagine things as bad. Vera quickly drank the hot milk in her hand, and the heat radiating from her body gradually cooled down. There was no new source of heat added. Breathing became sharper.

Straightening up with every breath, like she was drowning, suffocating.

Her vision also dimmed, she wanted to call for help, but her instinct gave her a signal that was actually wrong, as long as she opened her mouth, she would be submerged in the flood.

At this moment of extreme despair, a warmth that came from nowhere appeared in her arms, and the entire dark world was gradually fading away, and she even heard someone talking beside her.
