Chapter 299: Arrival [4] for "Jesus Sells Dog Meat" plus [2] more
Snowflakes are falling, there are fewer and fewer pedestrians on the streets, and even the busiest of Dawn Boulevards has chosen to close its doors during the winter break. The occasional pedestrian passing through is also in a hurry, this damn cold weather is really uncomfortable, maybe the biggest wish of these passers-by at this time is to cover the side of the road with blankets, drink hot coffee and read a book of their choice, right?
The weather was really not suitable for work, and the owner of the coffee shop was ready to close for the time being, so he took a wooden stick and smashed the snow off the parasols, and then gathered all the parasols. If it weren't for Mr. Doolin's punctual appearance every morning, he wouldn't have opened the door this morning. He thought he might be a little stupid, how could a character like Mr. Durin on a snowy day come out for a cup of coffee and a burrito?
He put the stick away, and frowned as he cleaned up, and the man's death was finally "crooked" to him. The court held that he was partly responsible for the death of the man, and that if it were not for his long-term and intensive abuse of the man's labor, he would not have caused the fire due to his exhaustion. For this, the court ordered him to give 800 yuan to his partner's family.
To be honest, let alone 800 yuan, he is not willing to give 80 yuan, but if he continues to fight the lawsuit, he can only continue to waste money, so he can only pinch his nose and admit it. Perhaps it was because of this lawsuit that he became famous, and no one was willing to apply for the job until now, so he had to do it himself.
Just as he was about to close the door after checking all the dangerous things, a car slowly stopped on the side of the road, the silver-white body was even more dazzling in the snow, he made a manual movement, immediately put the coffee pot back on the stove, and turned on the switch. He hurried outside, put up a parasol, and wiped away the snowflakes that had fallen on the table and the chairs.
Durin got out of the car wearing a thick trench coat and a hat and scarf, he glanced at the coffee house with the lights off, and smiled apologetically, "Sorry, it affected your rest." ”
The boss waved his hand and repeated the words "no", then went back to the kitchen and began to make burritos for Mr. Doolin. While doing it, he sighed, this is the real rich man, and those nouveau riche who don't know how to show off if they have a little money are really different, no matter when and where, Mr. Duhring is a good-natured look, and he is also polite to people, and never does anything rude.
It's really hard to imagine that such a person is actually the richest young man in Ilian, there is no one.
Perhaps, this is what those rich people often say!
The boss quickly made the burrito and brought it to Mr. Doolin's table with the coffee, Dulin smiled, took out five dollars and handed it to him, and the boss accepted it with some embarrassment. It's not the first time, and it's certainly not the last, and he's a little embarrassed every time. In his opinion, Mr. Doolin was able to sit here for a while, drink a cup of coffee, and eat a little bit every day, which was actually a kind of alternative propaganda.
Not only does he not have to pay, but he should even have coffee and food provided by the owner for free.
Soon, the newsboy appeared in Durin's sight in the wind and snow, and he rubbed his hands together with the heat, spread out a roll of newspapers and placed it on the table. Durin tucked the dollar bill into the newsboy's hat, and the little one smiled and asked, and then ran away. Although it was snowing, the newspapers that should have been delivered still needed to be delivered.
Durin flipped through the latest issue of the newspaper, which reported the latest news of the "Fraud of the Century". I have to say that the press release syndicate in the hands of the George family is indeed very good at writing these news, and it was originally just a fraud case involving a slightly "large" amount, which was suddenly named with such a shocking prefix as "century", which attracted the attention of the entire empire. Even the federal news media have been tracking and reporting on the incident, and it is said that it has caused and exposed some scandals there.
It is clear that some information is revealed in the report, whether it is public opinion or from the top of the imperial government, there is some impatience with the efficiency of the task force. It's been almost two months, and there has been no progress so far, and not even a penny has been recovered, and some people are starting to get anxious. In the report, it seems that the task force is defending and explaining, but in fact it is constantly provoking the victims.
Durin took a sip of his coffee, he put down the newspaper, looked at the gray sky in the distance, and counted the time, they were almost here.
After all, this is a fraud case of more than 70 million, and you have to make a final effort, don't you?
As Du Lin thought, there has been no breakthrough so far, and there have been some anxious and unstable people within the task force. There was no way, the public opinion and public opinion gave them too much pressure, and those pervasive reporters didn't know where to get their identity information, but they actually published it. This has led to harassment by many members of the task force, from those victims.
They called all day long to inquire about the progress of the case, some scolded when they opened their mouths, and some team members had already written transfer reports and were ready to leave the place at any time.
In this case, Amp knew that he was waiting, which might cause more trouble, and even let the top management directly use Hodalk as the end of the case, and close the case completely.
Amp, who had never failed, would not be willing to return in vain, so he consulted with Clark and decided to go to Ilian. The reason he used was that the important person involved in the case, Juan's suicide, was suspicious, and they wanted to investigate whether someone was manipulating something behind Juan's suicide.
The upper echelons, who were losing patience, immediately agreed to their opinions, but at the same time gave them a deadline. If there is no progress or clue within a month, the matter will end there.
Just like Doolin's plan for the whole case, they plan to use Hodalk to gag everyone's mouth, and as for when they can recover the shareholders' funds in the stock market, that's another matter, find someone to take the case over first.
So Amp and Clark, along with the five members of the team, immediately set out and arrived at Illion in a sea boat in heavy snow.
The boat slowly approached the shore, and there were no more people who disembarked except them, and the people on the boat were more likely to go to places in the south where the weather was warm to spend the winter, and this was not their destination. Here Amp and the rest of his entourage walked down the gangway, and there was not a single pedestrian to be seen in the deserted street, and the whole city seemed to be asleep, without the slightest bit of life. The shops on both sides of the street are also closed, which is a common occurrence during the winter break, but it is too deserted for the people who come here.
"I remember...... Isn't it said that Ilian is one of the busiest cities on the East Coast?", Clark walked down the last step with his heavy suitcase, looking at the seemingly uninhabited city, a little dazed, "I think even the west is more crowded than here. ”
Amp smiled, put on his hat and walked towards Dawn Boulevard, saying as he went, "Because the temperature here changes a lot in winter and there is often snow, there are no tourists after winter." Tourism is the backbone of the local economy, and it is normal for the core area of the city to be temporarily closed after losing tourists. If you want to see people, go to the back districts, where there are still quite a few people on the streets of the fourth and fifth districts. ”
"You know so much!", Clark complimented.
Amp didn't respond, and when the group walked to Dawn Avenue, Amp was still sharp-eyed, and immediately saw the only small shop that was open on the side of the road, and he pointed there, "Let's go get something hot to warm our stomachs first, and then go to the hotel." At this time, the hotel probably didn't prepare anything, and there was still some time before noon. He lifted his wrist and rolled up his sleeve with his hand that was red from the cold, revealing a watch.
"There are still four hours until lunch, and even if we look for a hotel now, I'm afraid they won't prepare breakfast for us. ”
Naturally, everyone did not agree with Amp's proposal, and if you can drink a cup of hot coffee or hot milk and eat some freshly made food in such a cold weather, I am afraid that it is the most enjoyable thing.
A new customer greeted him, which made the owner of the coffee shop have to turn on all the electricity again, and he walked out to take a look, and suddenly there was a lot of smile on his face. Seven people can at least make him a dozen yuan, and it is really surprising in such weather.
The men divided into two groups and asked for two tables, and when they looked curiously at Durin, a strange man who came out to "have fun" on a snowy day, Doolin was also looking at them.
Amp's eyes were always focused on Doolin's face, and Doolin gave him a very strange feeling, as if he had seen Doolin somewhere, but he was not impressed. He smiled and nodded when he noticed that Doolin was also looking at him, and Doolin nodded at him.
"Do you know?", Clark asked quietly.
Amp shook his head slightly and looked elsewhere, "I don't know, I just feel a little weird, his temperament is very unique." ”
Clark glanced at Durin as well, and the two nodded to each other when they made eye contact.
"I don't think there's anything wrong with him, maybe he's richer. You know, rich people just like to make trouble!", when he said this, Clark didn't forget to glance at the luxury car parked on the side of the road, even in the imperial capital, such a luxury car is not something that everyone can afford.
In his eyes, it is normal for these rich people to be different, even if they run out without clothes, he will not be surprised, after all, they are rich!
