Chapter 141: Bullying
Plando laughs a lot of the time, it's hard to see him angry, even if you taunt him, taunt him, make fun of him, he keeps the smile on his face. Does he show other expressions? Of course, he doesn't smile much when dealing with those who are inferior to him in status and status, as if his smile is only "open" to those in high society. But those who know him well know that he sometimes shows other expressions in the face of people in high society.
For example, when he is about to commit a crime, or when he feels embarrassed.
At this time, Plando's brows were tightly wrinkled, and if there was anyone he wanted to get rid of most in Turner, it was none other than Durin's little thing. He always didn't follow the rules, got himself into trouble, and almost pulled himself into the water twice. Of course, none of this is important, the important thing is that he dares to threaten himself with his family, which is unacceptable to Plando, so he wants to get rid of Durin, an "outlier", but he doesn't dare to do it.
The reason why he didn't dare to do it was that he couldn't bear the revenge after defeat, and he didn't have the confidence that he could get rid of the fox-like cunning Durin at once, and if he ran away from the failure, or let his cadres run away, then Plando would have to face the revenge of these madmen like a storm.
Although he is the chief of the district police, and although he is a member of the maintenance of order and law in the city of Turnaire, he is essentially no different from the homeless people on the streets, he is also a person, and he is only a person. He didn't have the skin to defend against bullets, he didn't have the strength to lift a weapon's platform with a single hand, and an explosion or even a bullet could kill him.
So he didn't dare to attack Durin, even if he had a perfect plan, he didn't dare to do it until the end.
Doolin can be a madman who gambles to decide his future, but he Plando is definitely not a madman.
Now, he was faced with a difficult choice, and the mayor's maid personally delivered a note, the contents of which were a few sentences that made Plando a little unbearable. The mayor demanded that he arrest Durin and the backbone of his fellow townsmen and send them to prison. On the one hand, the mayor's purpose in doing this is to show everyone that the descendants of traitors like Heidler have traitor blood in their blood, and even if he wears luxurious clothes and lives in a splendid house, he is still a traitor and an untrustworthy person.
On the other hand, I also want to warn Heideler in this way that maybe he really has a lot of power and energy, but this is Turnier, what he said doesn't count, what the mayor says.
What may seem simple to the mayor turns out to be a difficult choice when it comes to Placeo, who is the first to do something to Doolin. If he chooses not to do it, he will definitely not offend Doolin because of this, and he will not be retaliated against by Doolin and his fellow townspeople, but he will offend the mayor. There is little brains-trick involved in the selection of obedient and disobedient tools, and with the midterm elections just around the corner, the mayor will only need to say a few hellos, and Plando will probably have to throw the hat off his head.
It's a tough choice!
Is there a way to get through this?
Plando's fists clenched and clenched, and his eyes gradually revealed a fierce glow, and he slammed the table hard and made a decision.
He's going to see Doolin.
As mentioned above, he doesn't like Durin, but living in this society, the performance of maturity is to hide his true preferences completely in his heart and not to show them, you can dislike everyone, but you can't let them know that you don't like them, but also pretend that we are good friends, and then when necessary, choose a secret way, from behind to give you a knife to the person you don't like, and you will feel much more comfortable in an instant.
He didn't like Doolin, but he needed Dorin's help in this matter.
In the lounge, he changed out of his police uniform, put on civilian clothes, and then wore a hat to cover most of his appearance. Fortunately, the weather has cooled down dramatically by this time, and it will not be noticeable to wear a wide trench coat. He slipped out the back door of the police station quietly. He's going to go to Doolin and say what he thinks, giving a result that's acceptable to everyone.
By the time Plando had walked around the city to find Durin, it was already past seven o'clock in the evening.
Karul was not an easy old man to convince, and even with Ernst's company, Durin finally made Karul choose to believe his words for the time being, for which he invited the two of them to dinner together, which cost almost a hundred dollars.
As soon as the slightly smoky Durin got out of the car, a short and fat guy in a trench coat and hat came over in the shadows on the side of the road.
"Hey, it's me!", Plando quickly removed the hat from his head, revealing his face, and Durin glared at him and put away his pistol.
"If you show up like this next time, I will definitely engrave on your tombstone the words 'This man died wearing a trench coat and hat at night!", the people in the store had already opened the door, and Durin took off his scarf as he walked inside, "Why are you still dressed like this?", if you look at Durin carefully, you can see that his walking posture is a little strange, crooked just can't walk in a straight line.
In fact, Durin couldn't drink, or he wasn't very good at drinking. Mr. Kersma's wine is basically made by Mrs. Kersma from those fruits that cannot be sold and are about to spoil, and at the same time the alcohol content is low, there is also a strange smell of rotten fruit, and the children in the family do not like to drink it, so naturally there is no question of whether to drink or not. He couldn't drink it, but he did, and having dinner was a sign of peace, and he needed a little alcoholic drink to set the mood. The three of them are not small people, and the choice of natural wine is also a high degree of wine, but as a result, if he is not careful, Du Lin drinks a little floating.
Plando did not answer his words, Durin paused, and immediately walked towards the second floor, the two of them entered the room and stood guard outside the door, he knew that the two of them must have something important to say, so without Durin's orders, he would not go in, and he would not let anyone else in.
Plando directly threw the note to Durin, who rubbed his eyes, squinted and saw the words on the note clearly, and suddenly sweated, "Who gave it to you?"
"There aren't many people in the city who can order me other than the mayor. Plando sneered and took a cigarette from the cigarette case on Dorin's desk and lit it for himself.
Durin closed his eyes and leaned back, and after a while, he asked, "What are you going to do?", he didn't ask you if you caught me, and since Plando came here and showed him this note, it was self-evident that Plando didn't want to clash with Durin.
Plando talked about the ashes, "I have a plan that everyone can accept, but I don't know if you dare to gamble." ”
Then Plando told Durin about his plan, which was not a great plan, but an old-fashioned thing, and to put it bluntly, it was a deception. He would arrest Durin, arrest a few more Guartes, identify them as members of the Townsfolk Association, and then sentence them to the mayor's behest and send them to the district jail. On the way to the district prison, he would release Doolin and replace him with another person to serve his sentence.
In this way, the mayor gave him the task he had done, and he did not offend Durin to death, and no one was offended.
Durin laughed dumbly, wasn't this the trick that Plando had given Godol, and he was ruined in the end, but when he thought about it carefully, although this trick was low-level and seemed "childish", it was extremely effective. If it weren't for Dürin's bent desire to kill Godol, maybe that catastrophe would have really caused Plando and Godor to get through like this.
The only thing that made Durin a little hesitant now was Plando's true thoughts, knowing that once he was imprisoned in the regional police station, Durin's life would be in the hands of Plando, and he would lose all initiative. If Plando had suddenly turned his face at that time, he would have died in it. But if you don't carry out this plan, it means giving up all your business and business in Turnaire City, leaving for a new place.
It's not that Du Lin is hypocritical and refuses to go anywhere else, he can rise and quickly have today's status and everything, he must have put in a lot of effort and hardship. More than that, it is a kind of luck that exists in the dark, and it is luck that allows him to have everything he has now. If he goes to other places and starts over, it is difficult to say whether he will be able to achieve the same point as now, because he is not familiar with the place and the local people are born with xenophobia, maybe he may not achieve anything in his life if he leaves.
It is possible to create a higher glory, but who can say for sure?
He stared at Plando, who met his gaze calmly, "I need to promise, Plando, or I will choose other methods to protect myself." ”
For Durin's suspicion and distrust, Plando didn't care, if he was Dorin, he wouldn't easily put his life in the hands of others, "What do you want me to do?"
Durin held out a finger, "I don't accept any instruments of torture, including handcuffs and the like. Then he held out his second finger, "I have to have two pistols on me, I won't take them out, but I must have ......", he held out a third finger......
