Cosma Empire
Chapter 1325
Melissa was watching TV. She didn''t notice that there were some unexpected guests in the villa.
The community service company in Oak Bay has withstood the test over the years and won the trust of all residents. Even if some residents forget to lock the door when they leave, they won''t worry about it.
Melissa also has the same laxity. In the past two years, she has lived here without any accident. Although Du Lin doesn''t ask them, her monthly living expenses are a lot.
The money is not much, which is for Turin himself, but it is enough for them to live a good life. Even if they spend it from time to time, it won''t make the next days embarrassed.
Sometimes... No, it should be said that most of the time she thinks she has done a very stupid thing. What''s more stupid is that she gave birth to the child after pregnancy. She should listen to her mother and take away the child.
However, at that time, she was not mature enough. She always thought that parents always considered things from their own starting point and ignored their own feelings as parties, so that she might oppose the mother''s suggestion just to oppose it, and finally gave birth to the child.
Now, she regretted that after the short 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 unilateral outbreak of feelings between and Turin stems from the more sense of security provided by Turin. A female writer wrote in her book that women''s demand for security is higher than other needs.
Even for girls like Suri who worship money, their worship of money actually comes from the lack and demand for security, but they have a clearer understanding of the security they need. They understand that money can give them what they need, so they worship money.
Now when everything calms down, the leisurely and comfortable life and the increasing deposits in the bank make Melissa completely get the financial freedom that most people of her age can''t get, and the consequent sense of security.
In this world, there is nothing more reassuring than money. No matter what a person''s character is, what he has experienced in the past, and whether he is anxious now, as long as he is given a sum of money, a large amount of money enough for him to spend his whole life, he will become full of a sense of security.
In fact, the lack of security often comes from the helplessness and incompetence of their own destiny. Big capitalists, dignitaries and the like at the top of the society will never lack a sense of security, because they can control their own destiny to the greatest extent, but it is impossible at the bottom of the society.
We always hear that some people commit suicide because of depression for one reason or another, but who has heard of the depression of those who are really in power and big capitalists?
They are too happy to be happy. How can they have so much anxiety?
What can make ordinary people feel at ease, except for the power they can''t get, there is only money left.
Playing with her hair and watching TV series criticized by some celebrities as lacking connotation and full of nothingness and happiness, Melissa, who would laugh from time to time, paid all her attention to TV.
The child slept in the crib next to her. The child looked very cute and pink. Her black hair filled her with a sense of mystery.
Just when the protagonist in the TV series fell and lay on the dog shit, which made Melissa laugh and cry, there was a sudden sound of something falling on the ground in the downstairs living room.
She looked at the dark corridor outside the half closed door and was stunned for some time. A cool wind blew her into a cold war.
The crisp landing sound of something lingered in her ears. She slowly stood up and walked to the bedroom door.
She lives alone in this villa. No servants and servants will live here at night, but during the day, two servants with rich experience in raising children will help Melissa take care of her and Dulin''s children.
She also needs to study and learn more knowledge. This is Nadia''s suggestion to her. No matter what she is now, at least she will be easier to gain a foothold in the society in the future after she has a better education and knowledge reserve.
The Royal College can''t go. She changed a school. Under some legal operations, Melissa changed her name and studied full-time finance at Imperial University.
At this time, she was not aware of the danger, because Oak Bay was so safe that there had been no vicious cases, including burglary and ordinary theft, in nearly ten years since the project was developed.
Not many residents feel that someone can break through the heavy security and enter the room to hurt themselves.
She went out of the room, looked at the dimly lit downstairs hall, reached out and touched the switch on the wall. At the moment when the light was on, a square towel covered with ghost face mushroom extract pressed tightly on her mouth and nose.
The strength of the struggle lasted less than ten seconds and ended completely. Sitting on the floor of the corridor, Melissa seemed to have been stripped of her bones, like mud, with a strange smile on her face.
At 12 p.m., the electric maintenance car left the Oak Bay villa. There was no complaint or alarm. Everything was as safe and calm as usual.
The next morning, the two servants who came to take care of the children didn''t wait for Melissa for a long time, so they called the superior management company.
The servants who can enter the Oak Bay villa area for domestic service are not cheap temporary servants for three to five ten hours. They all have strict assessment standards and innocent family background, have received the most formal training, and have a set of standard response cases and processes in any emergency.
The management company then called the emergency contact, and the call came to Turin''s hand. He calmly listened to natya''s discovery, comforted the Western housekeeper, and sent someone to Oak Bay to check it.
He was not in a hurry, and there was even something he couldn''t say... It wasn''t easy to describe that feeling. It was like doing a very proud thing but trying not to show it.
Before natya''s call, the person in charge of monitoring Paula, that is, boworth''s on duty secretary, sent new news back. Paula had been taken away by two people who claimed to be senior agents of the Bureau of investigation.
Of course, durin''s people have been following these people, and Paula was finally taken to a manor in the new city.
The new urban area is the new area expanded by the imperial capital this time. Because the new area is actually the suburb of the imperial capital in the past, with a lot of private estates and villas, the expansion of the new area is actually much larger than people think.
If the expansion is small, it will simply make the real estate of the rich in the suburbs more valuable, and the people will have opinions. Therefore, this expansion I has a much larger base in the past.
At present, the new area is still relatively empty, and it is not so difficult to track. In addition, the people on God''s side are all local people, so it is easy to find each other''s nest.
But now he can''t move. Dooling doesn''t intend to rescue the 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. He must show his compassion and sympathy for women, children and the weak, and show his hatred for the perpetrators in any sense.
This is not about position, but a manifestation of the will needs of the whole society.
It has always been Dooling''s policy to portray himself as a weak person. Many people have denounced his practice explicitly or secretly, but this thing works, especially at the bottom of society.
His personal settings and personal attributes are too suitable for the game of "being killed", which makes him have to put this * * out again and again.
Politics is not an entertainment circle. There is no need to constantly come up with those new and unverified things to win the attention of the people.
If the film fails, it can come again. Whether investors or movie stars, this is just a failure in their life. Crossing the past is a new day.
However, in the political struggle, failure once means that it is difficult to turn over. The jungle law of chiguoguo will never pity those losers. Even if these losers are finally swallowed by the strong and turned into shit, the plants will not miss the opportunity to deprive the losers of the last bit of nourishment to nourish themselves.
After Dooling arranged everything, he began to quietly wait for the time to come.
On the other side, Paula is sitting in a room that is obviously not right and waiting for something. She is much calmer than the girl next door who is panicked and crying, which may have something to do with her daily work.
She is always exposed to some important political figures and the brainwashing of some conspiracy theorists. Of course, it is more likely that she knows how to deal with these.
At more than nine o''clock in the morning, the door opened. To be honest, this is not an ordinary room. Whether it is luxurious decoration, luxurious big beds with large wooden structure frames that only appear in museums and noble castles, or works of art hanging on the surrounding walls, it is difficult to make people feel that they are under house arrest. It is more like an experience and experience noble life.
She left the room with the visitors, walked around in this huge building, and finally walked into a slightly simpler room. She saw the person sitting on the sofa. She knew Holmes.
Holmes looked back and pointed to the sofa. "I''m very sorry I invited you in this way. I just hope our conversation will not be disturbed by more people. I need to talk to you, Miss Paula."
Paula gathered her hair a little messy at the temples, bowed her head, went to the position Holmes pointed out, and sat down without saying a word.
Holmes didn''t care about her silence. "Coffee, fruit juice, flower tea, or some alcohol?" his voice was very gentle. He didn''t feel aggressive, nor was it as sharp as a knife. It would make people feel good. "Maybe alcohol is better. It will make you relax and less nervous."
Paula finally asked for juice. She dared not drink. She was afraid that she would say something wrong if she drank too much.
When the juice came, Paula took a cup and took two drinks. Holmes asked a question, "Miss Paula, you may not know that there has been another news that is obviously bad for you in the office building these two days..."
Paula looked up in surprise. Her eyes were full of doubts. It was like asking "what does it have to do with me" and "Why me".
Holmes chuckled. "It was pointed out that although Mr. poworth was old, his legs and feet had no movement obstacles, and it was unlikely that he would fall downstairs because of a slip. Maybe someone pushed him, or..." Holmes stared at Paula with a smile. When he said "someone pushed him", Paula''s heart stopped beating.
Looking at Paula''s face slightly changed color, Holmes continued to say, "or because of your relationship with Miss Paula, Mr. bowworth fell."
"We can''t be sure what caused the tragedy unless Mr. Bowers wakes up, but as far as the current situation is concerned, you are a witness and the most suspect."
"Someone has proposed to file a case against you for investigation. You know, at this important time, such a thing has shocked the whole society. Both the new party and the cabinet hope to calm the storm caused by this matter as soon as possible."
"There is no better way to appease social emotions than to find a suitable ''suspect''. People will want to see someone plead guilty and then accept a just trial."
"Unless... You can tell me what happened at that time, for example, someone did something we don''t know..."
This is an obvious inducement. In court, any evidence that violates the provisions on evidence collection and acquisition cannot be used as effective evidence, and even if these evidence is determined to be true and effective in the later collection process, it cannot be used as legally effective evidence in court to affect the final judgment and sentencing.
Many people know this, including those lawyers, but lawyers still like to use these illegal evidence as a explosive point in court. Why?
Because although these evidences can not become effective evidence, they can guide social public opinion.
Now the competition in the party is about to open the final curtain. Holmes doesn''t need a stick to kill Dooling to the extent that he can''t turn over. He just needs a gentle push.
To promote the suspicion and dissatisfaction of public opinion towards Turin and the distrust of the new Party committee towards Turin, naturally, they will vote for others.
As long as you miss this vote, even one second after the voting deadline, Turin''s suspicion will be removed, and Turin will lose, not only this one, but also his whole life.
As long as a few days, uncertain doubt is enough!
Some of these methods are not very clean. Holmes did not intend to use them before, but at this stage, in the face of absolute power, nothing decent and elegant can stop the rudeness and barbarity in his bones.
As an animal, man is never civilized. Civilization is just to hide the cruelty in his bones.
