Chapter 85 Intentions
When Chang Wei sent Linda, who had no strength, and returned home himself, he saw a figure sitting on the stairs in front of the door.
It's Samantha.
"So, you're here to tell me about your decision?"
Chang Wei walked over and sat down next to her.
"Yes and no." Samantha gathered a few strands of loose hair on her face and pinned them behind her ears, and the side face that was very in line with Chang Wei's aesthetics was completely exposed to Chang Wei's eyes.
"I was accepted when I was about to lose my job, and I came here with your help to solve problems such as housing, children's transfers, etc., and I am grateful to you. But what I just heard, I want to ask you, if Mill Town were an ordinary town, would you still do it? Police Department Benefits? ”
Samantha's words were skeptical.
She thinks that the reason why Chang Wei is so good is that she deceived them and gave him his life.
It's not beautiful.
Chang Wei smiled: "What do you think? ”
"Can I not think so?" Samantha said, "If you didn't have an attempt, would you be so good to us?" ”
"You're thinking too much." Chang Wei shook his head and said, "No matter whether the mill town is ordinary or not, I will treat you the same." You should think about it, you and Jules, in front of gods, monsters and aliens, one more of you or one less of you, is there any increase or decrease in meaning? ”
Samantha was stunned.
"Nope." Chang Wei helped her answer: "So I have only one purpose, that is, the mill town needs experienced police officers to help me maintain order when I have no time to take care of ordinary order." I can't leave it to you what is beyond human power, because it will be bad and the gain will outweigh the loss. ”
Samantha exhaled softly: "It's not very nice, but your tone is convincing." But the danger is still there, isn't it? ”
Chang Wei nodded: "Yes, so I'll find a way." ”
"I'm looking forward to it." Samantha smiled and said, "My doubts, even after just going through the matter of the previous sheriff, have still not been answered. ”
Samantha said: "For example, that Ollie, for example, your attitude and behavior towards the town hall, it is easy to relate. ”
"No, you just haven't figured it out yet." Chang Wei said: "Treating Ollie and treating the city hall is actually an attitude. ”
"The Mill Town is unique, how unique is it?" he said. Unique to the point that the United States doesn't care about it. For thirty-five years, everything here has been forgotten, and the American government has never intervened in specific affairs. Duke said it was because of the three-way compromise, and maybe there were other reasons, but it seems to be true. ”
"So Duke they don't get any help, they have to rely on themselves. The things left by aliens need a lot of energy, Samantha, you have seen that bill, the electricity bill for only one month, nearly 500,000, how much is it in a year? More than five million. You look at this town, can it afford this huge expense? ”
Samantha was dumbfounded.
"I can't." Chang Wei said: "You went to the city hall to collect relevant information, tell me, how much tax revenue can the city hall and the police station get from the residents every year?" ”
"The maximum does not seem to be more than two hundred thousand."
Samantha said.
"That's right, the maximum is not more than 200,000 a year, and when it is low, it is more than 100,000, and the police station and city hall are usually very expensive. So where can I find the five million electricity bills? Chang Wei said: "That's why Duke and they will embark on the road of no return to control and sell independence." ”
"You destroyed it!" Samantha said.
Chang Wei smiled: "That's why you say that my attitude towards the city hall is reminiscent." I'm not personally interested in the money from the town hall, or the money from Big Jim and Maxey, but I do need them. At least for a while, I need some money to stabilize my energy supply and consumption, so that I can spare another source of income. ”
Samantha understood.
She said: "Seize power and collect power, for money, but also because the mill town is not ordinary? ”
"yes. It is a trend for more strange things to happen one after another, and in order to stabilize the order of the mill town, there can only be one voice in the mill town. Chang Wei said: "So I will try to take control of the city hall next." Sending someone to oversee the town hall was the first step, and then putting Linda on the council and replacing Big Jim in control of the town hall was my goal. ”
Samantha's heart shook: "Linda? ”
"That's right, it can only be her." Chang Wei said: "My time in Mill Town is too short, if I were to serve as a sheriff and a councillor at the same time, there must be a lot of people who are dissatisfied. In that case, you might as well let Linda take the position, and I will manipulate it behind the scenes. ”
Speaking of this, Chang Wei sighed lightly: "People don't know that the mill town is in danger. What happened at the Forest Altar made me see a lot and think a lot. Neither Big Jim Maxine nor Freddie were normal at the time. Even... Infiltration of the Mill Town... As I expected, so the more this happens, the more I must unify my voice and not allow the Thorn Head to appear, for Old Ollie is a Thorn Head, and he must get out of Mill Town. ”
At this point, Chang Wei smiled: "I don't care about this kind of thing." It's not hard for me to open up a reasonable new source of money, it just takes some time and a lot of money to support it. I bought Old Ollie's farm for him, and Angel's takeover of Rose's tavern was the first step, and it would not take more than two months at most, and I would have no less money than I deserved. ”
"You mean I don't have to worry about losing the money channels because I have defeated the independent manufacturing and trafficking gangs?" Samantha said.
"That's what it means." Chang Wei said: "If you stay, in Mill Town, what you do is still what you did before, and there is no essential difference. To put it mildly, what bullshit gods monster aliens, I still have some calculations to deal with them, but I don't need you to worry about them. What I need is for you to help me keep the mill town calm and stable. ”
"This is important?" Samantha said.
"Of course." Chang Wei's eyes are gloomy, and he doesn't know the roots of aliens. But he already knew that the more chaotic the mill town was, the more disorganized and vicious the hearts of the people became, and the greater the good for those things underground.
Because of the two altars, in Chang Wei's opinion, the mill town itself resembles a huge altar. The more peaceful it is, the more it will support the suppression of the existence of the underground, and the more sordid chaos is a sacrifice that weakens the suppression, and the more happy the monsters of the underworld are.
"I don't want you and Jules to leave Milltown." Chang Wei made a joke: "You guys are leaving, where can I find two such beautiful policewomen?" ”
Samantha smiled: "Should I thank you for the compliment?" ”
Chang Wei said: "It's just telling the truth. In fact, there is a compromise. The situation is not too bad for now, you can wait and see. If the situation is not right, just leave. After all, leaving Mill Town, you have to find a place to start over, and it will be difficult. ”
"Besides," Chang Wei smiled, "aren't you interested in gods or monsters, or outsiders, aliens or whatever?" ”
Samantha groaned.
For a long time: "I accepted your suggestion." ”
Chang Wei smiled and stretched out his hand: "I'm very happy." ”
