Mystery: Paradox Path

Early in the morning, after counting the consumption, he realized that he had lost more than a hundred pounds of bullets and had not slept all night. Klein was woken up by Mr. Devil's punctual morning service, and only then did he realize that he had actually caught a cold.

After taking a hot bath and eating a warm meal, Klein lay on the bed, wrapped himself in a soft and fluffy quilt, and slept for a while, but it didn't seem like an hour, when his doorbell was slapped again. People rang.

Although he was ill and seemed to be woken up again by Mr. Devil after sleeping until noon, Klein still did not miss this opportunity to make money. He took reporter Mike to start the investigation in the East District, and saw the old lady who died silently, After seeing the police who ignored the dead, but wanted to investigate illegal gun possession, and finally led by the old Kohler, he began to wander the streets of the East District.

During the investigation, they met a poor watchmaker, saw a pungent pulper, and saw the scene in the East District that looked like a large living sacrifice ground. Found that the environment seems to have changed.

Mike looked at the street in front of him in disbelief. Even though he just passed through an intersection, he clearly felt the change.

Although the place is still so poor, Mike still perceives the difference, and Klein is more touched by this change than Mike, because this place is very similar to the Iron Cross Street where he once lived, or in other words, Closer to the upper section of Iron Cross.

"Is this a better area in the Eastside? The residents here have higher incomes?" Mike looked at the old Kohler and tried to ask the situation without touching the other's sensitive nerves.

Old Kohler shook his head, and said in a strange tone:

"This is the site of [passion]."

"Enthusiasm? What is that?" Mike couldn't connect this word with gangsters for a while. After all, the Luen gangs are usually named in a simple and direct way, such as "Zimange (Warrior)", "Ferry (Outlaw)" , a word with no specific bias like passion makes it difficult to associate it with gangsters.

"It was a gang established in recent months. They defeated the Zimange Party and took over their territory. I heard that the leader used to be the young master of a gang that was wiped out by the Zimange Party..."

Old Kohler told the information he knew, but Mike frowned: "Why are the areas under the control of gangsters so much better than those before? Are all gang members living here? Or is there more oil and water here?"

"Neither." The expression on Old Kohler's face was a little complicated, and then he raised his eyes and glanced at Klein.

Knowing this time, Klein remembered that this enthusiasm was the gang suspected of believing in the true creator that he had entrusted to Old Kohler and other Eastern District informants to investigate.

But he didn't say anything, just motioned to Old Kohler to continue, and in Old Kohler's view, it was the reporter who knew about the previous investigation, so he started to introduce:

"The residents who live here are actually no different from the places they've been to before, and they're even poorer because of their previous oppression by the Zimang party.

However, the enthusiastic leader is a very capable person, he did not continue to oppress the poor, but some skilled but lost their jobs for various reasons..."

Speaking of which, Old Kohler paused, as if thinking of his past, but he quickly shook his head and continued:

[The book chasing app recommended to me by an old book friend who I have known for ten years, Mimi read! It's so easy to use, I rely on this reading aloud to pass the time before driving and going to bed, you can download it here 】

"Well, it's just that some skilled workers who lost their jobs gathered and started a small workshop, producing some small things like low-quality spoons, forks, plates, etc., as well as some food trucks, mobile booths, etc., and some of them were The women gathered and built a canteen.

Then they will hand over the food trucks and mobile booths to some capable people. The factory area, the dock area and other places in the East End will sell those things in the shop, although the quality is a bit poor,

But the advantage is that it is cheap, and many people buy it.

Even if those who receive the car have to pay some 'protection fees' in addition to repaying the car's debts in installments, they also earn more than before, and they have enthusiastic help to protect them, they don't have to worry about it Blackmailed by other gang members.

Moreover, in recent days, the workers in the factory area have gone on strike very smoothly. Many workers have received salary increases, and those who go to the factory area to set up stalls have also increased their income. Even many thieves have given up their original livelihood and ran to There is a stall in the factory area..."

"He's really a great guy!" If he just listened to his resume, Mike might have thought that this was just a young capitalist who was about to become a factory owner, but after seeing the situation in other parts of the East Side with his own eyes, he realized this person. The meaning of what is being done, but the question also arises - "If it works so well, why don't the rest of the East Side learn it?"

"I can't learn." Old Kohler spread his hands and said as a matter of course, "Only gangsters can do this, but ordinary gangsters spend their money when they have money, and have no savings at all, and for them, they are short of money. Just loot from the poor and send thieves out to steal it, there's no need to spend so much effort, and I heard Millers... well, he's a retired skilled worker, and I heard from him that the cost of those factories and canteens may be more It takes years to get it back, and the average gangster can't wait that long!"

"What about ordinary people? For example, the female starch workers in the past, they can also make some food to sell! Could it be that these people have monopolized the business of the factory area?"

Mike asked incomprehensibly, but Old Kohler shook his head:

"The raw materials of the enthusiastic canteens and small factories are wholesale prices, and there are assembly lines... It seems to be the word, in short, their products are very cheap, although the taste is very general, and the quality of the products is not good, but for people who buy these things, Cheap is the biggest reason. And the food trucks and mobile booths look simple, but they take several sores. It is difficult to save money in the East End, even if there are people who dare not gamble.”

"Even so, those people can go to the enthusiastic site, right?" Mike touched his chin. Although the living environment here is not very good, it has not yet reached the point where people can't fit in, but Klein on the side, but He seemed to have thought of something, and sure enough, just after Mike asked this question, Old Kohler said with a complicated expression:

"Because you need to convert to join the enthusiasm, I heard that they believe in evil... Well, it is very dangerous. There have been some homeless people who have been in a coma because of joining the enthusiasm. Although the enthusiastic people will pay a pension every month, those who do not Those who have no family will even send someone to take care of them, but in a word, it is very dangerous, but even so, many people regard enthusiasm as the last choice. If I hadn’t met Mr. Sherlock, I might have gone to [Enthusiasm] to bet on it. Bundle……"
