Blackstone Code

"Come in!"

After Lynch hung up the phone, he waited for a moment and shouted "come in." The office door opened and Akumali walked in from the door.

This is a short local young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and an upright face. He is very suitable to play some roles that require sacrifice. Lynch immediately thought of the movie.

A positive image that can directly give the audience a positive image and does not need to be created through the plot is the most suitable for sacrifice, because these people can inspire people to sacrifice for the positively recognized characters in their hearts, and can bring more to the audience. of shock and emotion.

But they are not very suitable to be the protagonists. Firstly, they are not handsome enough, and secondly, there is no suitable place for such people in the mainstream culture of the Federation.

These were all fleeting thoughts. Lynch looked at him, "You said your friend was arrested by the police. Do you know what he committed?"

After Akumari was silent for a moment, he decided to tell the truth. Even if he didn't say anything, Lynch could still ask him on the phone. He didn't need to waste his integrity on such a meaningless question.

He told Lynch what had happened, "They accused my friend of planning the march not long ago, Mr. Lynch..."

Lynch raised his hand and interrupted him, "I don't know who told you to call me 'Master Lynch', but I must tell you that I am not interested in such a title."

"It humiliates you and puts you at a personality disadvantage. It also insults me. At least I'm not that vulgar."

"I suggest you call me 'Mr. Lynch', but of course you can just call me 'Lynch'."

Lynch's words surprised Akumari a little. He thought that all foreigners like to be called "Master". I like the feeling of superiority, but Lynch is different.

He refused, which made Akumali look at Lynch a little... weirdly, like looking at a traitor among foreigners.

But soon he came back to his senses, "Yes, Mr. Lynch, my friend, I know very well that he is just a worker who has just learned how to repair cars. We are all ordinary people, and it is impossible for us to be like what the police said. In that way, we can plan and organize some parades.”

His voice was very sincere, "If we really had that kind of strength, we would have been rich a long time ago, Mr. Lynch, this is a slander against us, they just randomly arrested someone and used it as a scapegoat, I I implore you to help our people."

When Akumali said that his friend was arrested for planning and organizing a demonstration, Lynch probably already knew what was going on.

The arrest of al-Shabab in Nagalil seems to be not as vigorous as I imagined, and the city is not full of storms. There are policemen catching criminals everywhere. Some people may think that the so-called arrest of Al-Shabaab members is nothing more than A kind of rhetoric, the official is not so positive.

But in fact, the arrest work has never been given up, and Lynch also arranged for some bodyguards with criminal investigation capabilities to enter the police station as special advisors to assist the police in arresting those youth party members.

This is also the reason why Lynch talked about adding some "foreign police officers" to the local police station. He needs to give his employees a legal identity to facilitate them to do some things.

Now that Akumai's friend has been arrested, it must not be a mistaken arrest, because Lynch can trust that his employees will not deceive him about this kind of thing-that is the big boss who planned and organized the parade, no matter how stupid they are Wouldn't kid themselves about this unless they find the job too comfortable.

After Lynch watched Akumari finish speaking, he calmly comforted him, "I will find out about the situation, but I have to explain one thing to you before I call."

"As a foreigner, regardless of whether I have more weight in the eyes of some officials for some reasons, I will also abide by the laws here."

"If they can't give conclusive evidence that your friend is the person they are looking for, I will protest to them and arrange a lawyer to help your friend get rid of the police's charges through judicial channels."

"But if your friend is indeed the kind of person they said, and they also have relevant evidence..." Lynch said and shook his head, "Then I can only say sorry."

"I respect your personality, I respect everyone's personality, and I abide by your laws. I will not trample on these laws just because I have some privileges in my hands. I hope you can understand."

Lynch looked at Akumali and said something that shocked him, "The law is sacred. It exists to measure people's behavioral standards and determine good and evil for everyone's behavior, whether it is the federal government, Still here, the law is above all else!"

Without waiting for Akumali to say anything, Lynch picked up the phone in front of him and dialed the police station number.

After a series of conversations without much practical significance, Lynch hung up the phone. He looked at Akumali who was full of hope and shook his head, "The police have very sufficient evidence to accuse your friend of being the mastermind. Among the marchers, more than one person is willing to testify, and your friend is a senior cadre of the local Al-Shabaab in Nagalir.”

"I'm sorry, Akumali, I can't help you. Your friend is a criminal. The only thing I can do now is to find a lawyer for you. Maybe your friend will be able to use him..."

After coming out of Lynch's office, Akumali didn't feel particularly depressed. In other words, he had already realized that his trip was likely to fail when he came here.

He thought about many situations, and it turned out that he was not wrong, but he guessed the reason for the failure.

Lynch's rejection was not arrogant or dissatisfied with his status, but because of the law!

This... makes it impossible to feel any resentment towards Lynch's rejection. Even Akumali has a hint of admiration for Lynch. He is indeed not an ordinary foreign businessman!

This is a very strange feeling. They should be enemies, because at the beginning, the slogan of Al-Shabaab in Nagaril was "expel foreigners". They were antagonistic. Now it has been reversed, but this existing opposition The relationship still exists.

But he didn't dislike or hate Lynch at all. From Lynch and the words he said, he felt something he had never felt before, something called law, and The weight of the law!

In the past, there was no law in Nagaril, or secular laws were far inferior to theocratic laws. Of course, this was also the most common and normal situation in Nagaril society.

For those in power, theocratic law has more advantages for them than saying that if they kill someone, they can be exempted from guilt as long as they pay some money, so why do they still believe in secular law?

Just to cause trouble for yourself?

The problem of clans and clans in the lower class society of Nagalir is serious, including the so-called "block clans". Every village and every street is an individual united together.

They believed in solving internal problems by themselves and solving external problems with their fists. Various lynchings were prevalent. Theocratic law also provided important support for their actions, which further made secular law dispensable.

Until this moment, Akumali suddenly realized that what Nagaril needed to change most was not to let anyone go or to dominate society, but to face up to the role and value of the law!

If people could strictly abide by legal rules and regulations instead of following theocratic laws that can be freely interpreted, there would be an efficient and clean society.

He stood on the side of the road thinking about some issues. Al-Shabaab's charter is too narrow. If you really want to make Nagaril stand up, you must first respect the law.

He glanced back at the small house, his eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the thick walls and saw Lynch sitting behind his desk.

What they themselves could not do, a foreigner did it, and Akumali believes that perhaps more foreigners are willing to believe in the value and significance of the law. This may be why those countries can become strong.

The law is fair. It protects the rights of everyone in every class. The law is no longer a tool used by the rich and powerful to enslave the people. It is the future that brings justice and justice!

He even thought about why foreigners would be paid when they hire them. Some people say that this is the spirit of contract and the spirit of integrity. In fact, these are the spirit of the law. Those letters of appointment are legally effective. They abide by the law and they will follow the contract. Obligation to pay wages to workers.

Akumali thought about a lot of things, and he vaguely felt that he might have touched a path that could make the country stronger, and it was completely different from the path chosen by others, a true and correct road!

Lynch didn't know that his casual perfunctory talk about Akumali reminded him of so many things. If he could guess these things, he wouldn't mind chatting with Akumali more.

Like what kind of power comes from the people, he must be very happy.

Lynch's attention at this time was actually on Akumali. After Akumali left, he called the staff sergeant in, "Arrange two people to follow the little man who came to my office just now to record Find out where he is going next and who he is meeting, and try not to expose him."

The sergeant immediately accepted the order and arranged for people to go to work, but he came back not long after, "Boss, we need to talk?"

"What are you talking about?" Lynch threw a solid-colored Croft over, "Are you planning to get married too?"
