Interdimensional science and technology starting from cyberpunk
Chapter 300 Poverty is a crime
More than 2.6 million!
Isn't this right? That's right.
The so-called bounty means that the money will be given to whoever holds the target's head in exchange for money.
The record format, file size, and clarity of these kill records all meet the NCPD bounty requirements. No one else has registered to claim them, and the first discoverer is not the NCPD.
So of course the NCPD will admit it, and if the NCPD admits it, Jefferson has to admit it.
He unbelievingly sent several pieces of data to the NCPD bounty library, and found that Lear did not lie to him at all——
The data is so serious, some of them were even killed and filmed on the spot.
This is very scary: everyone knows that the real cause of the turmoil these days is the internal strife of the Uzumaki Gang, but how can Lille have so much first-hand information! !
Jefferson's expression was already a little uneasy. Leal spread his hands and said, "This is the benefit of the technological age. The data cannot be faked. You can verify it yourself."
The mayoral candidate held it in for a long time, and his face turned pale before he said, "Does this matter have anything to do with you?"
"It doesn't matter." Lear shook his head, "Do you want to hear it? If you want to hear it, add 100,000 more."
A piece of information sells for one hundred thousand, but Jefferson's trembling mind only thinks of one thing:
So the person in front of me is the 1073 Whirlpool Gang, the real person in charge of this riot that caused economic losses that may exceed tens of millions? !
Thousands of people died, and Lille looked as calm as if he had eaten a few buns.
He desperately needed to be sure, this was a joke!
That's a thousand people!
Jefferson sat up straight and at attention, thinking: Please tell me this is not true.
". Just say it."
“They robbed Military Technology’s car, but Military Technology’s security guards in the convoy directly wore this linear frame, which resulted in the robbery being only half successful.
Now that--"
Lear pointed at Royce, whose head on the pillar had exploded: "He left his boss on the spot and brought his younger brother back to rebel and usurp the throne.
But the other one - the one hanging on the wall opposite him was not dead, and then there was internal strife.
Of course, this usurpation had been planned for a long time, but it just happened that there was a problem with the mission and the opportunity was good, so he rebelled. "
"So the Centaur is."
Lear raised his finger and shook it: "This information is very valuable. If you want to use it for operation, it won't be at this price."
Military technology centaur mecha
Isn't this what military technology wants to sell to the NCPD!
If the outside world found out that their military equipment was taken over by gangs and massacred, the impact would be far-reaching.
The power of this equipment will indeed not be questioned, but its safety, controllability, and even the reliability of the company's own security business will be questioned to a certain extent.
Jefferson thought for a moment and said, "Are all the evidence chains complete?"
"Yeah" Lear glanced at his inbox.
[Sender: Meredith]
[Meredith: Keep things for me, otherwise I might be transferred. 】
[Lille: Yes, we can help each other. 】
"Okay, this thing is not for sale, so..."
Lear clicked on the tabletop, and the table lit up with green fluorescence, making the whole room look a little weird.
The green fluorescence forms two rows of numbers.
First line: 2,683,000.
Second line: 100,000.
"This is the first account."
Lear picked up the stupid monkey and took a sip, waiting for Jefferson to react.
After about half a minute, Jefferson swallowed hard and nodded.
Yes, he is very rich, with assets worth tens of millions.
But all of a sudden he took out more than 2.6 million euros.
This is working capital!
But what can he do? If he refuses to pay, he doesn't know if he can get out of here.
And he was sure that Lille would not talk about any contract loopholes with him - thinking about this, his temples ached.
According to what Lear said, this internal strife was an inevitable coincidence: a long-planned rebellion, a well-timed robbery that failed, and the second-in-command who took advantage of the situation to rebel.
But the story Leal tells is still very general.
For example, how did he get so many bounties?
Is this internal strife really just a coincidence?
There are many questions, but according to the contract between him and Lille, this is not the key. The key is that Lille can indeed receive a reward of more than 500,000 yuan, so he has to pay Lille 2.6 million in remuneration according to the contract.
This amount has far exceeded his psychological expectations.
But what can he do?
And this is just the first account.
"This is the second account." Lear stood up with the stupid monkey and motioned for Jefferson to follow him, "Let's go in and talk."
Lear came outside a room and opened the door.
Squatting inside was a large group of ragged residents with sallow faces and thin muscles, but it was obvious that they had low-quality black market prosthetics on their bodies.
Jefferson was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily: "Abducted by the Uzumaki Gang?"
"It's a little different." Leal led Jefferson through the room. Through the one-way glass, the people inside couldn't see outside and just continued to talk to each other.
This was also seen by Jefferson, who also found that this was indeed different from pure kidnapping.
"To be precise, they are customers of the Uzumaki Gang." Lear revealed the answer, "They can't afford regular prosthetics and software, so they can only use pirated ones.
The Maelstrom Gang is the largest source of pirated and black market prosthetics in the city. "
"But pirated software and black market prosthetics can cause nausea, vomiting, epilepsy, and coma. The incidence of cyberpsychosis will also be greatly increased!"
"If you don't use pirated software and black market prosthetics, you will have to starve to death. Even if you can find leftovers in the trash these days, the air is poisonous and the land is owned, and you will have to die sooner or later.
If you ask them, they all know it. How about you ask them why they don’t use genuine software? Can't afford it? "
The land is owned, so there is no place to grow food; the air is poisonous, and without money for blood and prosthetic bodies with filtering capabilities, it will be a matter of time before they are poisoned to death.
And these ordinary people face many problems, which are the most basic problems of survival.
Of course Jefferson could hear this obvious irony, so he didn't foolishly ask.
But he also had something to say: "Why not get a loan? As long as the loan is implanted into the first working prosthetic body."
“No one would lend money to a homeless person.
If you want to live, you have to have money and find a job. If you don't have a prosthetic body, you can't find a job. But if you don't work, you won't have money. Without money, you can't install a prosthetic body. "
This seems to be an endless loop with no solution.
Jefferson pinched his eyebrows and sighed: "This is the status quo I want to change. If we can receive more tax dollars from giant companies, we will have the initial capital to solve these problems.
The Uzumaki gang's pirated software and prosthetics will only harm them, but you're right, it's not their fault.
They can only afford such prosthetics and software. "
"Tell me how you plan to solve it?"
At this point, Jefferson put down his hands and spoke eloquently: "These funds are used to purchase work prostheses and establish a sound social assessment and integration system.
Welfare agencies will issue low-interest loans to them, install them with genuine prosthetics and software, and, through assessment, arrange them to work in jobs that are most suitable for them.
Everyone performs their duties to ensure the normal functioning of society.
As long as everyone has a job, an income, and a place in society, there will be no room for criminals to grow. "
“Nice idea”
Lear stopped and nodded slightly: "It's a very good idea. It sounds full of order and quite harmonious."
Jefferson smiled: "I told you before that you should join me and we would eliminate crime at its source.
The crime situation in the North District has gotten a little out of control. There are countless murders, robberies, and thefts. I can't imagine what kind of hot water the people here live in. "
Leal did not respond, but said: "Back to the crime rate - the crime rate in Watson North is still high, but you now need to reduce the crime rate to reduce the possibility of Arasaka and military technology settling here.
The Uzumaki Gang must have been seriously injured, but their size was less than a thousand people.
You say that you do these things for the poor citizens and homeless people of Night City, but what if these things themselves are caused by the people you want to help? "
Jefferson was stunned for a moment.
Leal pointed to the Night City residents who were waiting for something in the room, and then turned on the screen on the wall.
"The previous dead cycle has been broken by these smart and resourceful people. Even pirated software and prosthetics cost money.
The legal channels didn't give them a plan, but the Whirlpool Gang did, and this is where their start-up capital came from. "
The screen lights up, recording evidence related to more than 80% of the crimes in Watson's North District, all collected from that night of bloody sports.
Adecado collected this information from factories and warehouses where the battle ended.
This information revealed the existence of records of thefts, robberies, fights and other small cases that really accounted for the bulk of the cases in Watson's North District.
Those seemingly extreme violent crimes all start with inconspicuous details.
The route map for a wealthy company's employees to return home, the cargo manifest and route map for a small transport fleet, factory profitability, factory production specifications and technology.
All information was provided by these ordinary people, and even involved their personal participation, either voluntarily or under compulsion.
After the incident is over, they will get some benefit to some extent, which is usually their first pot of gold. Sometimes it is also the medical expenses when they and their relatives are sick, or the usual food and accommodation expenses.
This huge amount of evidence tells one fact:
The main contributor to the extremely high crime rate in Watson's North District is not the Vortex Gang at all, but these homeless homeless people in Night City who have been abandoned by the legal world and have no other way out.
The "victims" Jefferson wanted to protect were also the heinous criminals he described.
"I have already settled the second account for you.
Watson North previously had a crime rate of 51% and has a total population of 500,000.
A total of 1,073 Maelstrom Gang members lost their lives, and each person was related to an average of 20 cases. After removing their influence, the crime rate dropped by .4 percentage points.
The Maelstrom Gang is absolutely crippled, Mr. Peralez.
But crime does not end there. What the so-called gangs really rely on for survival is the unsolvable cycle we mentioned before.
Or, to put it simply, poverty.
In a sense, poverty itself is a crime here, they are pitiful, but they are also aggressive. "
Leal shrugged, and two mechanical arms moved several parts on the table next to him.
"You say you have a way to make crimes that 'harm' people disappear, but what if they are criminals themselves?"
Leal opened the door to the room.
seeing is believing.
Jefferson watched the door slowly open, the pain in his head getting more intense.
