Chapter 1246: Fierce Fight! Master and Apprentice 57 (B)

In a room with bookshelves on all four walls, thick books on the law were placed on them.

Something is displayed on a screen of light and shadow

213847 were convicted, of which 30 per cent were sentenced to more than 10 years, 5 per cent were close to 10 years, and only 2 per cent were required to carry out a one-year prison sentence.

Pullman stared silently at the numbers on the light and shadow screen in front of him, it had just entered August, and there were still four months left in 2218.

The impact of the riots five months ago has not yet subsided, and just this morning, the Department of Law finally completed the trial of more than 200,000 people, and the direct economic damage caused by the south is as high as 10 billion, and the specific damage is immeasurable.

This loss will only allow the rioters to work on the farms and produce value that can be subsidized to the people in the south.

Construction in the south is almost in a state of semi-suspension, and now the number of workers in Angus Construction is less than 50,000, and the construction work in the entire south is almost stagnant and the progress is very slow.

In just five months, the economy in the south has plummeted after the riots, consumption has fallen by 8 percent, and many people in some districts near the periphery have a monthly income of less than 300.

Pullman did not want to see some areas gradually becoming slums, many of whom came from these areas, and now that they are being arrested and imprisoned, the gap of more than 200,000 workers will be difficult to fill in a short period of time.

Alpha still did this as always, in her eyes there is no such concept that the law does not hold the public accountable, which is also inevitable, and the actual harm is far greater than everyone thinks.

Pullman reluctantly stood up, glanced at the time, and at 8 p.m., he walked out of the study with a smile and went straight to the nursery.

"Did you sleep, little one?"

In the room, the wife leaned against the head of the bed, holding her daughter Letty in her hand, and Pullman walked over softly, glancing at her 2-month-old daughter, whose little face was still stained with tears.

Fang Qin made a shush gesture, the corners of the baby's mouth moved, and Pullman sat aside, quietly watching.

By the end of the year, Pullman planned to completely put down his work and take care of his wife and daughter, and in the past five months, Pullman has only been back three times, and even when his wife gave birth, he was still busy with the affairs of the Bar Association.

"Actually, it's nothing, you're very busy at work."

Fang Qin said, Pullman shook his head, everything he wanted to do when he was young has now been half realized, constantly promoting the law of the city, making the law more humane and better serving the city.

Pullman is well aware that next year will be a busier year, after three years of personnel changes, most of the management staff of the previous era have been replaced, and some people who cannot adapt to the whole department have been kicked out.

The legislators are also ready to start the election of regional councillors on January 1 next year, and everyone over the age of 10 has the right to vote.

The planning of the ward offices has also been put on the agenda, and these places have begun to function as the office of the ward councillors on weekdays, and serve as the association's liaison offices in various places.

Some of the people in the city are also aware of the councillors, who speak on behalf of the people in the region, but most are skeptical about the possible form of government.

Although the number of people taking the examination this year is not as large as last year, there is a situation in which a large number of people are assigned to subjects 3 and 5, but more than 300 of them have given up their right to enter subjects 3 and 5.

The practice of the Acting Section has always been criticized, but for everything Alpha has done, many people agree with it, which is an extremely strange psychology, at the time of the incident, I felt that the Acting Section was not close to people, but after the incident, many people felt that it was okay to do so at that time.

Pullman looked at his wife and asked.

"I guess your original home was in the south."

Fang Qin snorted.

"After a while, I want to go back and see the old house, and recently I often dream that when I was a child, I lived with my parents and my sister's family, although the days were hard, but every day was actually very happy."

Pullman smiled and nodded, the problem of the south cannot be ignored, the large-scale riots five months ago, the damage caused to the south is long-term, and now many people are aware of it.

Everyone felt that a more glorious era was coming, and the workers who had terminated their contracts with Angus Construction and did not participate in the riots were now in a bad situation, and some factories had already begun to upgrade their industries, and the value of workers would be lower and lower.

Nowadays, many heavy factories have purchased a large number of machinery and equipment, which can replace most of the workers, in the past two years, the reason for the labor shortage is that businessmen in order to quickly control their own share, simply can not slow down the speed of factory manufacturing, but after the market share stabilized, most of the factories began to lay off a large number of workers.

Some workers began to pop up at Angus Construction, but the Angus family refused to hire those who terminated their contracts without permission, and new workers were not recruited.

In just two years, workers' wages have peaked at 10 yuan an hour, but now most factory workers are only paid 4 to 5 yuan an hour.

In less than two years, the demographic dividend brought by construction has been almost consumed because of various problems.

The Angus family also suffered an extremely violent impact in the last riot, and the stock of the Angus family almost collapsed, overflowing from the highest point of 200%, and fell directly to 137% before stopping.

Most of the people who fantasized about being able to make a fortune with the Angus family in the past woke up from a dream, and the Angus family is currently in a state of debt as a whole, and most of them have taken back part of the principal and left the Angus family's stock market, and now the Angus family plans to remove all the shares of the Angus family.

The city's economic growth has begun to slow down, and the better times that everyone has been waiting for will not come anytime soon.

Pullman glanced at the time and put his wife to sleep, kissed her on the cheek, turned off the light and walked to the door.

"Wake me up if you need anything."

The wife smiled and nodded.

The expression on Pullman's face as he closed the door returned to seriousness, and he was going to go back to the room and take care of something.

Next year, there will be a law to be revised, the Trinity Law, which is a law for administrators, and Hydra's case is still at the center of contention after all these years, but in the riots five months ago, nearly 5,000 people died, including 2,456 members of the bureau.

The last riot was the biggest impact on the city in its history.

No one knows what happened and why the workers who threw the explosives were so irrational, it was the workers who threw the explosives in the crowds that protested everywhere and turned into a massive riot that affected 7 million people in the south.

"You can only take one step at a time!"

Most people have been exhausted by the riots for months, and most are still debating how they could have caused such a massive riot at the time, but these arguments have become meaningless.

The riots have directly destroyed the economic foundation of the south, and it is almost impossible to restore the south to its former state, given the current situation of the city.

The impact is diverse, and the bloody facts are in front of everyone.

A bunch of complex and short-term helpless problems are in front of Pullman, especially those who are marginalized, orphans, the elderly, the mentally ill, black households, etc., and some of the problems that the eight associations have finally designated to deal with in the future can only be postponed.

8:39 p.m

"Let me help you!"

Tamai quickly ran to the side of a mountain bearer, his hands helped him hold the heavy metal box on his back, and the mountain bearer in front of him said thank you, he didn't look very big.

At this time, several members of the 5th Section who were patrolling next to him watched Tamayi's actions and sighed helplessly, and the team leader shook his head.

"I said Tamaii, you better save some strength, we have to patrol until 3 a.m. before we can change shifts."

Tamai smiled and waved his hand back, the mountain worker in front of him looked extremely tired, there was still more than a kilometer to go, he had to deliver the goods to the place, but now that there was someone behind him to help carry the bottom of the box, he felt a little more relaxed.

Tamaii was successfully admitted this year, and he was also the only candidate among all the candidates who only filled in 5 subjects, although he only passed the 80 points of the passing line, he was immediately assigned to 5 subjects, and served in the relatively stable 61 district in the middle level.

In just one month, Tamaii has gotten along with everyone in the team.

Newcomers are generally assigned to the middle and upper levels, and many people want to go to the upper level because the days there are more comfortable, but there is only a one-year internship period, and new recruits will be transferred to the bottom.

Tamaii has gradually adapted to this kind of work, his own alienation gene has also awakened, and now he is exercising every day, and he can already carry more than 300 kilograms.

"Thank you, sir, thank you."

When Tamai smiled and wiped the sweat from his forehead, he turned around and ran briskly, intending to return to his normal patrol route.

If you want to change, you have to start from the roots, this is the purpose of Tamaii's entry into the 5th department, although he is not very eye-catching, and he has no talent, but he has the eye to discover talent.

Tamai felt that he could do a lot of things, when he was in school, one time when Alpha went back to school, he seized the opportunity and ran over to speak directly, the instructor was very angry at the time, but Alpha did not blame him.

What Tamayi didn't expect was that Alpha still remembered what happened to him and Perrystan, and Tamayi also bluntly said that he had a pair of eyes that were good at discovering other people's talents, and hoped that Alpha could make him a special clerk.

The current Tamaii is a special section member of the 5th Section, and he has the right to report all the people in the 5th Section in the area who violate the rules of the Acting Section, as well as report some things to the team leader or section officer who has done a good job.

Every day, Tamaii observes the people in the five departments in the area, records some things in detail, and reports them after giving some evaluations.

Tamaii just wanted to know more about something, starting with basic patrols and then figuring out how to solve the problem, and he didn't want a tragedy like Hydra's to happen again.

In particular, the riots that occurred five months ago, when Tamaii was still preparing for the exam, made him remember it very well.

After returning to the patrol route, many members of their squad were sitting at some small stalls on the side of the street and laughing.

"Captain, isn't it time for us to go on patrol?"

"Wait until 11 o'clock, let's have something to eat and have a drink."

Tamaii felt that something was wrong, but many people persuaded him to sit down, and Tamaii had no choice but to sit down, but he also understood what the captain said, and went back at 11 o'clock, because it was the most lively time in the night market at that time, and although there were people on the street now, the number of people was relatively scarce.

Tamaii was also relieved that the situation in the middle was much more stable than the situation in the lower levels, and the 60 districts in the lower levels had recently been staffed.

Today Tamaii just spoke to Peristan on the phone, he went to see Hydra again, I don't know why, Hydra is much more cheerful now, and he is willing to meet Peristan, and Tamayi also plans to wait for next month's vacation, so he will go to see Hydra.

At this time, a beggar on the side of the street came to the street with a cane, and soon sat down near a shopping mall, stood at the door, and began to stretch out his hand, and asked for money from the passers-by, but most of them just glanced at it, or avoided it directly.

In recent years, there have been more and more beggars, and even younger and younger, especially after the riots five months ago, the situation in the city has become even more dire.

9:18 p.m

Mo Xiaolan walked alone on the streets of Qinglong Street, dressed in civilian clothes, dressed up, her eyes were firmly fixed on a club opposite, the door was full of luxury vehicles, at this time finally the door opened, a slightly chubby middle-aged man, surrounded by a bunch of people, walked out.

A large number of accompanying bodyguards also poured out, they looked like they were going to other places, but they seemed to be planning to go somewhere else, and they didn't get into the car, Mo Xiaolan continued to follow quickly, and as soon as they got out of the alley, a few young men who were a little drunk came over.

"Little girl, are you .......?"

"Get out of here!"

Mo Xiaolazy said in a cold voice, raised the bracelet, and a certificate of the personnel of the 2nd section appeared, and the drunkenness of several men sobered up in an instant.

"Get out!"

Several men trembled in fright, and hurriedly got out of the way, Mo Xiaolan followed all the way, always staring at the group of people walking on the street talking and laughing opposite, they were all members of the Hillman family.

Mo Xiaolazy suspected that the riot 5 months ago was directly related to the Hillman family, but she still couldn't find evidence. Hillman's guy, he is the main person in charge of Eddie Financial, Mr. PLM, the outside world calls him that.

Someone loses money, naturally someone makes money, under the detailed investigation of Section 2, behind the large losses of the Angus family and the economic imbalance crisis in the city, the Hillman family is the biggest winner, but over the years, they have strictly followed the law, and there is no chance for people to take advantage of it.

Their family has provided detailed accounts, but Mo Xiaolazi's investigation results are some things under the accounts, which can bring sustained and stable high returns to the Hillman family as a whole in the future, which are not visible in the accounts.

In particular, some of the streets in the south that had been destroyed by the flames, and many people suffered huge losses, and the Hillman family bought some shops at a reasonable price, as well as some small companies in the area.

Everyone is thanking the Hillman family and scolding the cold-blooded and ruthless Angus family, because after the riot, the Angus family did not do any good deeds, but the Hillman family looked like a good person.

This made Mo Xiaolan feel extremely disgusted, she would not let her guard down, and she had to catch the evidence of the Hillman family's crimes.

This man, Plumm, is one of Eddie's uncles, and in the past few decades, he has basically achieved nothing, but in just five or six years, he has become the core of the Hillman family, the de facto ruler of Eddie Financial.

Although Mo Xiaolan has a trace of personal feelings, after all, she has been very good friends with Alpha since she was very young, and the Angus couple are an intellectual and kind couple in Mo Xiaolazy's heart, although they also have some shadows of family members, but they are much better than many family leaders.

Recently, many people have been criticized for rejecting the workers who returned, and most of them unilaterally terminated their contracts with Angus Construction immediately after the riots, and Angus Construction did not hold them accountable for breach of contract.

"It's too ordinary."

Mo Xiaolazy said, her ears were wearing monitors that had been laid on the poles on the side of the street, he could clearly hear what the group of people were talking about, Plame was too ordinary in both behavior and behavior, and a shrewd businessman would not talk about his glory all day long, and make amplified boasts.

And some of the next rough and obscene words made Mo Xiaolazy irritably deduct the miniature sound device in his ears.

Judging from all the signs of the past and the present, Plame is not a good businessman, which Mo Xiaolazy can conclude that all this may be manipulated by Eddie behind his back, but Eddie now rests in his own mansion in the upper echelons almost every day, and will go to some well-connected family homes to eat, and will also go to some banquets, completely keeping himself out of the way.

Mo Xiaolazy stopped, and a group of them entered the store surrounded by a bunch of women, Mo Xiaolazy quickly found a place, and quickly called up the surveillance screen in the store.

In an instant, Mo Xiaolazy pressed his head, and after a bunch of people entered, they began to play and have fun with the women.

10:04 p.m

In a huge white hall located 100 meters below the territory of the Hillman family's estate, people whose whole bodies have been transformed into machines sleep quietly in the white hall.

On a high platform in the middle, Eddie is smiling and holding a glass of wine, and a flame is slowly appearing next to him.

"Master, the test can start in a few days, and the final adjustment will have to be done by more professional people."

Eddie smiled and glanced at it, then shook his head helplessly.

"Don't make any more fuss, Mr. X."

Eddie had imprisoned X, who was caught by Eddie when he tried to escape by refusing to continue to provide the Hillman family with the technology to mechanically transform humans.

As a corner of the ceiling became more and more transparent, X sat quietly in a cage made of a special alloy that could not be broken through with the weapons on X's body.

Eddie also asked the Hillman family's team of mechanical engineers to disassemble X's body, but they couldn't get anything, the most critical part was in X's head.

At this point, X was unable to move all over his body, he had not had oil injected into his body for months, and most of the joints and metal parts had begun to show severe wear.

5 months ago, the riot planned by Eddie allowed the Hillman family to successfully get a lot of things and make a lot of money, and now the Angus family is extremely fragile, and it only needs to take a little bit of time, and the complete embezzlement of the Angus family is just around the corner.

When Eddie instructed the other families to ask if the Angus family would sell the property that was still making money, Avano hesitated, but Violit insisted on not selling.

Whether to sell or not is only a matter of time for Eddie, and the Angus family will not be able to bear it in the end.

At this time, X stared at Eddie quietly, and then said with a smile.

"Eddie, we started out as a partnership, but now why am I a prisoner?"

Eddie shook his head, looking at the mechanical biochemical transformation people printed around and X almost in a mold, these guys are all left with brains, and the brain control chip has been implanted in the brain, this technology is now quite mature, a total of 300 transformed mechanical biochemical people.

And all mechanical biochemical transformers are equipped with long-range and process light killing weapons, and also come with a flight function, Eddie plans to use the huge black gold held by the Hillman family in advance to build his own mechanical empire little by little, everything is under his control.

When the time comes, Eddie will begin to build an underground mechanical empire in the Aratanula Mountains, and finally after driving the gods out of the city, everything will be his own.

Now Eddie wants to get only mature cloning technology from X's body, as well as mature biochemical transformation technology, these two points are without exception, in the long-term contact with X, Eddie also gradually discovered that X survived by constantly cloning himself, and he has been imprisoned for three months, and it seems that he has not been affected at all.

After examining X's brain cells, Eddie confirmed that he was relying on an infinite clone of his own brain, and then used a technology they didn't know about to completely preserve the memories and transmit them to the fresh young brain.

"Mr. X, if you are willing to submit to me, I will let you go, how about it?"

X doesn't speak, Eddie is not in a hurry, because the clones they have studied are failures, clones usually have unexplained decay of body organs within two weeks, not to mention the brain, the cloned brain may not work in three days, but X's brain can last that long, but if he is not given a nutrient solution, his brain will be finished.

Eddie has already eaten X, and he knows very well that this guy has no way out, just like he said back then, the poison that soaks into the bone marrow is the most deadly.

Click

Eddie snapped his fingers, and the place where X could be seen on the ceiling returned to its original state.

X moved slightly, but with a creaking friction sound, his joints were severely worn to varying degrees, and now this body was a mass of scrap metal, X knew very well that he couldn't do anything, in this room, he couldn't even contact the outside world, because there was no network signal, it seemed to be a room made of high-density materials, and even the network signal couldn't come in.

X laughed, since February of this year, after the riot caused by Eddie's long-term preparations, X has completely planned to cut off cooperation with Eddie, he is too dangerous, and one day he will be dragged into the water.

Eddie's current plan has seriously hindered X's plan, X smiled helplessly, he knew very well that Eddie would not let himself go, but X still had a chance, just a little chance, once he got out, Eddie would give all the evidence of the Hillman family over the years to Alpha. Angus.

There have been countless opportunities before, but X hesitated, because the city has not yet developed to the extent he wants, and if it rashly causes problems at this time, his plan will have to start again.

What Eddie didn't know was that in the past, Hathaway and Leng Shi, the husband and wife, left a backdoor in the Prometheus program, which Hathaway told him before he fell asleep.

X only needs the slightest chance to use this backdoor to cause a little trouble, once connected to the network, it only takes 10 seconds for him to transmit his memories, and then the nuclear battery built into this body will self-destruct, he can completely ignore this body, and when he wakes up, X will return to his underground laboratory, which is also the inside of the spaceship he piloted.

In the past, when he was about to break into here, those guys in the Skyrim Space Country used quantum weapons, but fortunately, X had a big life, and although the large spaceship was destroyed, the small spaceship came to this land with him.

"The next step is ready to start, Prometheus."

"Of course! My lord, the time is ripe. ”

Eddie stood up excitedly, and at this time, all the biochemical transformers around him moved, and there was a crisp sound, and some small doors opened around him, and these mechanical biochemical transformers entered the small door.

"I've got the key to the future, Mr. X! No one could prevent the fall of the Angus family. ”
