Chapter 21 Two Flowers Bloom

"Convince people with virtue and convince people with reason?" Pippons' hand inadvertently gripped the trigger.

What is Virtue and Reason? It is the stack of steel ingots transported out of the steel mill, the mechanized cluster that rushes out of the desert, and the world-destroying weapon that is still pointed in front of the round one in the legend of another world.

In a word, it is strength.

"Hey, young man, calm down." Pippons came to his senses, only to see Advisor Zhao with a black line on his face. "It's not about grabbing people, don't get too excited. Come, sit down and speak. ”

Pippons sat down obediently.

"This matter is not settled now. You know why? ”

"I don't know."

Advisor Zhao sighed: "This is the 'grievance' hand-picked by His Majesty Doniva. Even if we all know the truth now, we can only puncture this bastard's diorama on the spot in front of His Majesty. ”

"What about 'convincing people with virtue and convincing people with reason'?"

"It's not about piercing the diorama to decide the winner." Consultant Zhao waved his hand, "This victory and defeat, as well as the reason for convincing people, are in the mountains and seas of this case." In addition, I want to make one more point clear. ”

"What?" Pippons shuddered.

"I'm going to give you the best help in this matter, but that also means I'm not going to come forward to solve it. To put it bluntly, this is a domestic matter between you Elta and Elta. No matter how much we help you build houses, you will have to solve the housework yourself. So you are the one who will face His Majesty Doniva, and it is you who will make the final decision on the whole thing. Advisor Zhao shook his finger with a relaxed expression.

"Yes...... I'm not a member of this department. Pippons was shocked by the sudden appointment. Or, Mr. Advisor, why did you choose me to handle this matter that was not very relevant to me? ”

"Hurry up with power." Advisor Zhao looked helpless, "Do you think that except for those who don't know about affairs, can you be regarded as the best among the Elta people?" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ I understand. Pippons nodded. This sentence sounds like the praise of the whole Chinese side for his work, but now he is facing unprecedented difficulties, and this praise cannot offset the pressure of falling on his head.

"Well, it's good that you guard against arrogance and rashness like this." Advisor Zhao rubbed his hands, "Then now, please state your thoughts to me." Suppose that tomorrow morning at nine o'clock sharp, His Majesty Doniva will go with us to have a final showdown against this head of household, and there is still ...... Well, a little more than twelve hours, how would you arrange it? ”

The generator outside the auditorium continued to roar, and the auditorium was still brightly lit, as was the sound of conversation and the turning of pages.

"Why don't I help you?" Zhou Bangping looked at Consultant Zhao, who was already leaning over between a few binders and manuscripts, and suddenly felt that it was not embarrassing to let such an old man with green silk do this kind of work in a not very bright environment.

"No, even if there are many samples, you have to find out for yourself." Advisor Zhao flipped through another page of the file, "Besides, our little clerk is also going to summarize and paraphrase him through me, if you paraphrase it twice, you should know what will go wrong, right?" ”

"Then I'm going to help you add a lamp?" Zhou Bangping nodded, but he didn't answer the question.

Advisor Zhao raised his hand, crossed his fingers on the back of his neck and knocked on a few joints, and nodded approvingly. The current young people of Elta, whether they are native of Elta or descendant from China, are more and more satisfied with him.

Shouldn't there be a report so that the seedlings who have the opportunity to reuse it in the future come here to receive a little training?

"Since this Bowett already thinks so, the human witness is useless." After listening to Advisor Zhao's account, Pippons pointed to the core of the problem.

"Well, that's good, and then what?"

"So we have to take overwhelming testimony from the 'death testimony' that has already been condemned." Officer Pippons pointed to the aerial photographs that had been printed, "Needless to say, this part of the bridge is not included in the construction area. ”

Advisor Zhao nodded and motioned for him to continue.

"Since he is ready to make trouble in front of His Majesty Doniva or in front of you, it must be a sign that he has a strong psychological quality, which coincides with some clever prisoners who think that no one has found or that they have no evidence. And I think that the weakness of this kind of prisoner lies in the combination of the facts of the crime and the evidence of the crime, and this Bowett also has something in common, that is, his title deed. ”

Advisor Zhao couldn't help but praise - sure enough, his old friend didn't recommend the wrong person to him.

"Once the method of falsifying the title deeds is discovered, or the details of his encroachment on the construction of the road, there will be no room for Bowitt's stubbornness. Of course, allow me to name a few possibilities. ”

"Please."

"When transferring land between immediate relatives, you only need to draw a horizontal line on the name of the original owner, and then leave the name unchanged. So we see that the owner of the property, Bowitt, did not get this land directly from other outside. A closer look reveals that his father, Hazefinger Sr., was the first owner of the new title deed. ”

"Wonderful. And then what? ”

"Then, Advisor Zhao," Pippons pointed to the filing cabinet in the distance, "I hope you will help me find the names of the Shield City officials who handled this first title deed, as well as the addresses of the other members of the Hazefinger family. As for me, I will visit these targets and gather evidence. ”

"Don't startle the snake - well, my old man is talking a lot again." Advisor Zhao glanced at this dissatisfied subordinate who had only been in hand for two hours with satisfaction, "What you do is up to your feelings, but please be careful and cautious." ”

Well, if this Pippons can get this tricky thing done, and make a report to suggest that Mendong City let him send more expatriates to train him, maybe he can become a hero of the partyβ€”wait, maybe he wants to develop in the purge or espionage?

Advisor Zhao pinched the page with his fingers, recalling the conversation between the two just now, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion. If it weren't for the fact that this person was already "famous", he really wanted to put such a talent in his pocket to help him. The hat of the political adviser is big and empty, and if he is alone like he is today, it will be a joke.

Quite a few Elta are struggling to keep up with their teachers. He knew that very well. But for themselves, their growth rate is still too slow. That's right, whether it's SCP or not, the major research institutes have begun to transmit expensive research results to the earth, but where the flow of commodities such as steel, cement, coal, and fertilizer in the veins of the macroeconomy comes from to where, as the "honorary" first steward of the Elta Empire, it is impossible not to know the clues.

And it is his main responsibility to build the Elta Empire into an industrial backing that can export grain and finished products without the need to introduce all external raw materials. It's good that the research institute can find anything from Elta's miracle, and even if it can discover any portal technology, doesn't it need basic production capacity to build portals to obtain more resources?

As a result, the Elta people, who did not grow up, really lived up to expectations and stood in the way of history...... No, in front of the roller. Every time I think of this, Consultant Zhao and many other Chinese can't help but feel a little annoyed: when they come to this world, they don't want to take a look at the blue planet that ignores and subverts civilization, but some laws between human beings sometimes can't be solved by "changing copies".

Zhou Bangping gently placed the lamp on the table, and the warm yellow light instantly illuminated the thoughts of this Imperial Political Adviser of the Elta Empire.

"Maybe it's not too late to find out." As soon as Consultant Zhao's finger was illuminated, it happened to shine on the words "Hazefinger" on a certain title deed. "Look, isn't this just coming?"

The shield city with lanterns at night is very different from what it used to be, with not only solar street lamps on the main roads, but also military and police patrolling back and forth -- even the dark streets and alleys that were difficult to manage in the past have been illuminated by means of residents' subsidies. In the face of such an unprecedented light and security blockade, ordinary thieves and robbers have no way to start.

Compared to the shield city, which is all exposed to the light, walking on such a street with no distinction between light and darkness has a different flavor. In other words, these peers are still not very sophisticated, and those policemen dressed in civilian clothes are stiff, will they be easy to be discovered?

As Pippons swept across the street, the cell phone in his coat pocket suddenly rang.

"Huh? So fast? Pippons immediately grunted, scrambling to find the tiny straight phone in his jacket pocket. He had an agreement with Consultant Zhao that once he found the target, he would use his mobile phone to contact him - Duncheng now has also opened basic 2G signal coverage, which is enough for the most basic calls.

But before that, there seemed to be more tails behind me? Pippons snickered - it was wonderful that there was a ready-made snake to help without having to look for it yourself!

"Ah, that guy stopped, keep up." Behind Pippins, two police officers were on guard against Pippins, who was dressed in exaggerated clothes. From the moment the guy entered the main road, more than one plainclothes trotted over to report to them that the man had spotted them precisely from the night crowd - His Majesty Doniva was in the city now, and his superiors had told them that it was the most dangerous time - and the royal guards had almost kicked a hard nail, but they did not dare to let their guard down at all.

"Sir, please show me your identification......" The two officers panted as they watched as they had just caught up with Pippins, only to see the man with the phone in one hand and the other straight out to face them - the same ID card in his hand that was common to both the police in Mendong City and Duncheng.

"Opposite the garden in the middle of Podi South Road? Okay, it's okay, I already have a guide here to show me the way. Well, that's it, get in touch again. ”
