Cosma Empire

Melissa was watching TV, she didn't notice that some unexpected guests had already appeared in the villa.

Oak Bay's community service company has stood the test over the years and has won the trust of all residents. Even if some residents forget to lock the door when they leave, they will not worry about it.

Melissa also had the same slack. During the two years she lived here, no accident had happened. Although Du Lin didn't care about them, he called them every month for their living expenses.

The money is not much, for Du Lin himself, but it is enough for them to live a good life, even if they squander it from time to time, it will not make the following days embarrassing.

Sometimes..., no, it should be said that most of the time she felt that she had done a stupid thing, and what was even more stupid was that she gave birth to the child after she became pregnant. She should listen to her mother and get rid of the child .

However, she was not mature enough at that time, and she would always think that her parents would always consider things from their own point of view, ignoring her own feelings as the person involved, so that she might oppose her mother's suggestion just for the sake of opposition, and finally put this The child is born.

Now, she regretted it. After the short-term passion and impulse passed, she began to realize that some things can exist for a long time, but some things can't last long.

The one-sided emotional outburst with Doolin stemmed from the more sense of security that Doolin provided her. A female writer wrote in a book that women's needs for security are higher than other needs.

Even girls who worship money like Su Rui, their worship of money actually comes from the lack and need for security, but they have a clearer understanding of the security they need, and they understand that money can give them what they need. Yes, so they worship money.

Now when everything has calmed down, a life of leisure and money in the bank has allowed Melissa to fully enjoy the financial freedom that most people her age can't get, and the security that comes with it. feel.

In this world, there is nothing more reassuring than money. No matter what a person's personality is, what he has experienced in the past, or whether he is anxious or not, as long as he is given a sum of money, a large amount is enough for him to spend his whole life. With the money, he becomes full of security.

In fact, the lack of a sense of security often stems from the helplessness and incompetence of their own destiny. The big capitalists, the powerful, and the like at the top of society never lack a sense of security, because they can control their own destiny to the greatest extent, but the bottom of society impossible.

We always hear that some people commit suicide due to depression for one reason or another, but who has heard of those who are really in power, big capitalists, depressed?

They are too late to be happy, how can there be so much anxiety?

Apart from the power they cannot get, the only thing that can make ordinary people feel at ease is money.

Playing with her hair, Melissa, who would laugh out loud from time to time, put all her attention on the TV while watching TV series that were criticized by some celebrities as lacking connotation and full of vain joy.

The child was sleeping in the crib next to her. The child looked very pink and cute, and her black hair filled her with a sense of mystery.

Just when the protagonist in the TV series fell and lay on the shit, making Melissa laugh and cry, suddenly there was the sound of something falling on the ground in the living room downstairs.

Looking at the dark corridor outside the half-closed door, she was stunned for some reason, and a gust of cool wind made her shiver.

The crisp sound of something landing lingered in her ears all the time, she stood up slowly, and then walked towards the door of the bedroom.

She was the only one living in this villa, and there were no servants or servants living here at night, but during the day, there would be two servants who had rich experience in raising children to help Melissa take care of her and Du Lin's children.

She still needs to study,

Learn more knowledge, this is Natia's suggestion to her, no matter what it is now, at least after she has a better education and knowledge reserve, it will be easier for her to gain a foothold in society in the future.

Unable to go to the Royal Academy, she changed to another school. Under some legal operations, Melissa changed her name to study full-time financial courses at Imperial University.

At this time, she didn't realize the danger was coming, because Oak Bay was really too safe, so safe that there hadn't been a single vicious case in the past ten years since the project was developed, including burglary and ordinary theft.

Not many residents feel that someone can break through the security guards and enter the room to hurt themselves.

She walked out of the room, glanced at the dimly lit downstairs hall, and reached out to touch the switch on the wall. The moment the light came on, a square scarf sprinkled with ghost face mushroom extract was tightly pressed against her nose and mouth.

The strength of the struggle lasted less than ten seconds before it was completely over. Melissa sitting on the corridor floor was as muddy as if her bones had been removed, with a weird smile on her face.

At twelve o'clock in the evening, the electric maintenance vehicle left Oak Bay Villa, no one complained, no one called the police, everything was safe and calm as usual.

The next morning, the two maids who came to take care of the child called the superior management company because they had not waited for Melissa for a long time.

The servants who can enter the Oak Bay villa area for housekeeping services are not the kind of cheap temporary servants who work for thirty to fifty minutes an hour. They all have strict assessment standards and clean backgrounds, and have received the most formal training. There will be a set of standard response plans and procedures.

The management company then called the emergency contact, and the call went round and round to Du Lin's hands. He calmly listened to Natia's report of her discovery, and after comforting the big western steward, let him People went to Oak Bay to check it out.

He was not in a hurry, and there was even something that he couldn't say... It's not very easy to describe that feeling, like doing something very proud but trying not to show it.

Before Natia's phone call, the person in charge of monitoring Paula, Powers' secretary on duty, sent back news that Paula had been taken away by two people who claimed to be senior agents of the Bureau of Investigation.

Of course, Du Lin's people have been following these people, and Paula was eventually taken to a manor in the new city.

The new urban area is a new area expanded by the expansion of the imperial capital this time. Because the new area is actually the outskirts of the former imperial capital, there are many private manors and villas, so the expansion of the new area is actually much larger than people imagined.

If the expansion is small, it will simply make the real estate of the wealthy in the suburbs more valuable, and the public will have opinions, so this expansion has a larger base than previous expansions, and it is much larger.

At present, the new area is relatively empty, and it is not so difficult to track it. In addition, the subordinates of God's Capital are all locals, so it is easy to find the opponent's lair.

But I can't move now. Du Lin doesn't intend to rescue these two women. In this world, no matter how evil and dark a person's heart is, as long as he wants to be accepted by this society, he must cater to this society and must treat him. Women, children, and the weak show their pity, sympathy, and hatred for the perpetrator in any sense.

This has nothing to do with position, it is a manifestation of the overall will of society.

It has always been Du Lin's policy to portray himself as a weak person. Many people have criticized his approach either explicitly or implicitly, but it works, especially at the bottom of society.

His character design and personal attributes are too suitable for the "victimized" gameplay, which also makes him have to play it out again and again.

Politics is not the entertainment industry, and there is no need to constantly come up with new and untested things to win the attention and attention of the people.

If a movie fails, it can come back again. Whether it is an investor or a movie star, this is just an insignificant failure in their lives, and a new day will come across the past.

But in a political struggle, as long as you fail once, it means that it is difficult to stand up. Chiguoguo's law of the jungle will never show mercy to those losers, even if these losers are finally swallowed by the strong and turned into shit. However, the plants will not let go of the opportunity to deprive the loser of the last nutrient to nourish themselves.

After Du Lin arranged everything, he began to quietly wait for the time to come.

Elsewhere, Paula sits in a room that is obviously not quite right waiting for something, she is much calmer than the panicked crying girl next door, which may have something to do with her day job.

She's always been exposed to some important political figures, and some conspiracy theorist's brainwashing, of course, it's more likely that she knows how to deal with these.

After nine o'clock in the morning, the door opened. To be honest, this is not an ordinary room, whether it is the luxurious decoration or the luxurious bed with a large wooden frame that only appears in museums and noble castles, or the surrounding walls The works of art hanging on the ceiling make it difficult for people to feel that they are under house arrest. It is more like an experience, experiencing the life of aristocrats.

She left the room with the person who came, walked around in this huge building, and finally entered a slightly simpler room. She saw the person sitting on the sofa. She knew it was Huo James.

Holmes glanced back and pointed to the sofa beside him, "I'm very sorry that I invited you here in this way, I just hope that our conversation will not be disturbed by more people, I need to talk to you Let's talk, Miss Paula."

Paula gathered her slightly disheveled hair from her sideburns, lowered her head, walked to the place Holmes pointed out and sat down without saying a word.

Holmes didn't care about her silence, "Coffee, fruit juice, herbal tea, or some alcohol?" His voice was gentle, not aggressive, and not as sharp as a knife, which would make people feel good, "Maybe alcohol Better yet, it relaxes you and makes you less tense."

Paula finally asked for juice. She didn't dare to drink, for fear that if she drank too much, she would say the wrong thing.

When the juice arrived, Paula held the cup and drank a couple of sips, and Holmes asked a question, "Miss Paula, you may not know that there is another piece of news circulating in the office building in the past two days that is obviously not good for you." news..."

Paula raised her head in surprise, her eyes were full of doubts, as if she was asking "what does it have to do with me" and "why me".

Holmes pursed his lips and smiled, "Someone pointed out that although Mr. Powers is old, his legs and feet have not yet suffered from mobility impairments. It is unlikely that he would fall down the stairs due to a slip. Maybe someone pushed him. A push, or..." Holmes stared at Paula with a half-smile, and Paula's heart stopped beating when he said "someone pushed him".

Seeing that Paula's face changed slightly, Holmes continued, "Maybe it was because of you, Miss Paula, that Mr. Powers fell down."

"We can't be sure what caused the tragedy unless Mr. Powers wakes up, but as far as the current situation is concerned, you are the witness and the most suspected person."

"Someone has already proposed to open a case against you for investigation. You know, such an incident at this important time has shaken the whole society. Both the new party and the cabinet hope to calm down the consequences of this incident as soon as possible. Storm."

"There is no better way to appease the social mood than to find a suitable 'suspect'. People will want to see someone plead guilty and then receive justice."

"Unless...you can tell me what happened at that time, for example, someone did something that we don't know..."

This is an obvious inducement. Any evidence that violates the regulations on evidence collection and acquisition cannot be used as valid evidence in court. Legally valid evidence influences the final verdict and sentencing.

Many people know this, including those lawyers, but lawyers still like to use these illegal evidences as a hot spot in court. Why?

It is because although these evidences cannot become effective evidences, they can guide the public opinion of the society.

Now that the competition within the party was about to lift the final curtain, Holmes didn't need to beat Duhring to death with a stick, to the point where he couldn't stand up, he just needed a light push.

To promote public opinion's suspicion and dissatisfaction with Du Lin, and to promote the new party committee's distrust of Du Lin, they will naturally vote for others.

As long as you miss this vote, even if Du Lin's suspicion is removed a second after the voting deadline, Du Lin will lose, not just this one, but his whole life.

As long as a few days, uncertain doubts are enough!

These methods are somewhat unclean, and Holmes did not plan to use them before, but at this point, in the face of absolute power, no decency or elegance can stop the rudeness and barbarism in his bones.

Human beings are never civilized as animals. Civilization is just to hide the cruelty in their bones.
