Chapter 162: Barbarism
Plando......
Durin closed his eyes and recalled the process of befriending and getting along with Plando, and he remembered that more than one person had told him that Plando was a smiling fox and that he was always smiling. Laugh when you're happy, laugh when you're unhappy, and smile when you're "eating people". There are several tycoons in Turnaire who have been taken down by him, but people are always confused by his talkative side and smile. He's not really a person who doesn't have a temper, it's not a person who can swallow his anger if you offend him, he will also get angry and retaliate, but in the process you can only see his smile, so you ignore it.
It was then that Durin remembered what happened on the way to the prison, the three trucks loaded with moonshine that had been looted on their way to Guri, and the attack on Ellis on the farm. All the survivors of these processes have the same opinion - the other side has a lot of weapons, some of them cooperate well in the battle, and these people have a pure goal.
Combining these factors, Dührin believes that there should be another person standing behind him besides Plando. It could be his "boss", or it could be his partner. This man is very powerful, with a lot of manpower and plenty of weapons. The most important thing is that he is hidden enough in the city, and until now, no one knows who Planto's boss is, except for Plando and a few people.
Durin had a guess if this man would be ...... Captain of the Turnier gendarmerie.
There is a gendarmerie in every city, and since the New Party came to power, it has been deployed in almost every city, and their mission is not only to suppress riots, but also to strengthen local control by the center. The power of the gendarmerie is great, but it is also small.
It is said that it is very big because the gendarmerie has a certain amount of armed and arbitrary power, and once there is a local riot, unrest, or even some extremist restoration organizations want to take advantage of the weakening of the empire to do something, the gendarmerie can directly use force to suppress it without asking the higher authorities for instructions. This means that the dispatch of the gendarmerie is a very idealistic judgment, and if the captain of the gendarmerie thinks that it is necessary to make a dispatch, he will not be punished too severely, even if his purpose is not pure and he fails.
It is said to have little power because the gendarmerie has very limited local interference, except by force. It is not an administrative authority, it does not have the capacity to enforce the law, and as long as there is no outbreak of riots from outside that may affect the sovereignty of a region, the gendarmerie does not have the power to do anything on its own initiative. No matter what was going on in the city, they could only stare at it with wide eyes.
From this, Dührin thought of another fellow, Mayor Peter of Turnaire City, who also came out of the gendarmerie in the morning, so is it possible that there is some inevitable relationship between Plando, the gendarmerie, and the mayor?
There is such a possibility!
It's just that it is not known whether Plando took the initiative to attack Durin himself, or if he was instructed to do so. If he took the initiative to get rid of Durin, then Doolin would not be relentless and would inevitably treat Plando as his first enemy. But if he was instructed to do so, was that person the mayor or the head of the gendarmerie?
"How's the gendarmerie doing?" asked Durin as he opened his eyes, and the car had already entered the outskirts of the city, and dumped houses could be seen everywhere on the side of the road. After that Great Patriotic War, the population of Turnel decreased dramatically. People no longer believed that the Empire would be so lucky if the next war broke out, so the "poor" who lived in the vicinity, who had nothing, moved out of the area early and moved closer to the core of the Empire.
Dührin's question was a bit of a dilemma for Ariers, who had nothing to do to run to keep an eye on the gendarmerie, and there was no direct or indirect stake between the gendarmerie and Dorin. He shook his head, not knowing how to answer this somewhat difficult question, but Durin slapped his head and pointed at Ellis, "I'm sorry, it's important to arrange one or two reliable people to see if there is a way to get into the gendarmerie." ”
"There won't be any problems, don't worry, I will select qualified and excellent people as soon as possible to send them to the gendarmerie, you may not know, a few days ago the gendarmerie also issued a notice, saying that it was going to recruit some recruits, this time they want to recruit a full twenty recruits......"
Durin had a keen grasp of the word - conscription, and he immediately interrupted Ayrlis's rambling, "I remember that there is only one conscription every four years, why is it early this time? If I remember correctly, the gendarmerie conscription also happens to be the time of the midterm elections." ”
Ayris shrugged his shoulders, and the devil knows why the gendarmerie would change their plans.
After speaking, Durin closed his eyes again, and when he opened them again, the car was already parked outside the Oriental Star Trading Company at the turn of Queen Street. Through the glass, he could see that the newly renovated store had been smashed to pieces, and he could hardly find anything intact. I don't know if it's the people around or the garbage truck, but the lobby on the first floor has become a garbage heap, filled with all kinds of household garbage, and there are people pooping in it.
On the outer wall outside the door, some red paint was splashed, and in short, this place was completely finished. If you want to repair it, you need at least 1,000 pieces. This is definitely a huge amount of money for Durin, who has no money now. Fortunately, he did not need to worry about money, and soon his "business" and "factory" would be up and running again.
"Go to the Contraband Bureau, I'm going to see Schoen. ”
Just as Dühring's car approached the Contraband Investigation Bureau, he happened to see Seun driving out of it, and he saw Seun, and Seun saw him. Seun made a gesture to keep up, and then sped away quickly towards the south of the city, and with Dorin's consent, Ellith immediately turned around and followed Seon's car.
About twenty minutes or so, the two cars stopped outside a barbecue restaurant called "Delicious Beef Ribs". The most restaurants in the poor and backward city of Turnaire are all barbecue restaurants, either barbecue steak or barbecue beef, which is generally like the Tuxian snack in the world in Dulin's dream.
Xiuen got out of the car, walked outside the car behind him and knocked on the window, "Stay here, if someone runs out later, don't run for him!"
Through other informants, Seun got the news that the guy who cheated on him last time was now hiding here. This is a rare opportunity and opportunity, even if he can't get any direct evidence that he can govern Karur, he can know who is behind him.
Less than thirty seconds after he entered the barbecue restaurant, a skinny man wearing a brown-red cap slammed out of the gate and ran wildly down the sidewalk without stopping. Durin pointed at the guy and stopped him, and with a slam of the pedal on the kinetic chamber, the car spun forward and slammed into the guy's body. He was tossed up with great force, slammed against the wall and fell down, holding his arms back and letting out a series of terrible screams.
"My leg is broken!"
At this time, Xiuen also wiped the water stains on his face, and slowly walked over, "Come, stand up, keep running!", he picked up the little man with an obvious open fracture in his left leg and pushed him hard after standing up. The little man subconsciously wanted to stand firm, but the broken shin bone directly made him cry and fall to the ground. Xiuen walked over again, pulled him up from the ground again, and pushed him again, "Run, aren't you very good at running?
