Chapter 241: State of Emergency

"Whether it's a threat or a warning, it's not a good thing. In addition, I think that the people who killed Aya should not be the same group of people who hunted down Tina last time, and if my guess is correct, then it means that there are two forces on Paradise Island that are eyeing us. ”

"You say we don't have any secrets to speak of, what are they staring at us?"

I shook my head and said, "I don't know, maybe I'm too handsome." ”

In the clinic on Paradise Island, after Michael's emergency rescue, James finally saved his life, and the bullet that entered his body was only a finger away from his heart. But although his life was saved, James fell into a coma, Sandro asked Michael, when will James wake up, Michael shook his head and didn't know the bottom of his heart, maybe a day or two, maybe a month or two, maybe forever.

Before James had an accident, Sandro didn't have any friendship with him, and he always looked down on James, but now that James was assassinated and unconscious, Sandro felt a little stunned for some reason.

James is the governor of Paradise Island, the supreme governor of Paradise Island in the name of the law, whether he has the ability to sit in this position or not, and whether he has contributed to this position, this is a fact that cannot be changed. According to the provisions of imperial law, murder itself is a felony, and depending on the specific case crime, the prisoner is generally sentenced to a long-term prison sentence of at least 20 years, and the most serious circumstances are directly sentenced to death.

For the death penalty, there are many different ways to execute in the British Empire, the simplest and most direct is the shooting, one shot to kill to minimize the pain and torture of the prisoner before death, but not every death row prisoner can eat the bullet refreshingly, for some special death row prisoners, the empire also has a harsher and more cruel execution method, such as waterboarding.

The so-called waterboarding is not to throw the prisoner into the water and drown, but to fix the prisoner, and then cover his face with a piece of wet paper, of course, a thin piece of wet paper will definitely not kill people, but two, three, four, there will always be a number that suffocates to death, and in the process of superimposing the wet paper one by one, the fear in the prisoner's heart will deepen little by little with the gradual difficulty of breathing, and the painful death process is far more cruel than the shooting.

According to historical records, waterboarding was more common in the East and the West in ancient times, but with the development of the times and the progress of civilization, those cruel punishments in the past have been abolished.

But now this world is not the world we live in after all, waterboarding still exists, especially the murder of an imperial official of the level of the imperial governor, no matter who comes to judge, the result of the sentence will definitely be waterboarding, so in the face of the deterrence of such a cruel punishment, who would dare to take this risk?

Because of James's assassination, Paradise Island suddenly fell into a leaderless situation, although according to the laws of the Empire, if the local governor is unable to assume the duties of the governor, then until the new appointment of the empire arrives, the local cabinet officials must act as acting governors in accordance with the law.

However, because James was used to being strong and domineering when he was in power, the entire cabinet was almost made by him alone, and other officials, large and small, just echoed and carried out his orders, and at the same time, with James's assassination, there were rumors on the island that the assassin of James was deliberately aimed at the governor of Paradise Island, and whoever sat in that position would kill him, so now when someone needs to stand up and take the lead, those officials who are in the top position of the acting order are looking for various reasons to retreat.

In accordance with the provisions of the special regulations of Paradise Island formulated by Duke Jackson, after entering a state of military emergency, the affairs of Paradise Island will be taken over by the Island Guardian, and the commander of the escort team will become the supreme commander of Paradise Island.

After becoming the temporary supreme commander of Paradise Island, Sandro first sent people to strengthen the entry and exit inspection of the island dock, all people and items coming from outside or preparing to leave Paradise Island must be subject to stricter checks than before, because there is no equipment such as electronic security detectors, so the main means of inventory is to search and unpack items for inspection.

In the past, although the inspection methods of the wharf were similar, but at that time, the wharf was equipped with female inspectors and not everyone would be inspected, in most cases it was just a random selection of one or two to go through the form, as for the goods in and out, the inspection was even simpler, basically as long as there was no problem with the declaration, no one would open it. After the intensified inspection, the number of female inspectors is obviously insufficient, so there will be some Sandro soldiers who temporarily play the role of inspectors, but the problem is that his soldiers are all men, and it is inevitable that there will be embarrassment when inspecting female citizens, and there will naturally be various complaints and.

"This lady, please open your arms and be examined!" At the docks, a soldier said obscenely to a young girl who had just disembarked.

"Check? Why should I get tested by you? And why are you giving me a check? The young woman looked at the obscene-looking soldier and took two steps back vigilantly and asked.

"This is our governor's rule, Paradise Island is currently in a state of military emergency, and all people entering and leaving Paradise Island must be inspected, so we still ask for your cooperation." The soldier, who had already taken advantage of many women in the name of inspection, looked at this young and beautiful girl, his eyes were full of impatience, if it weren't for the large number of people on the scene, he would probably have pounced on it.

"Even if I want to check it, I shouldn't have to check it for me, right? I need a female inspector to check. ”

"Oh, I'm sorry, we don't have that many female inspectors, and since you're in my hands, you'll have to be inspected by me."

"Dream, it's not impossible for me to let your hand touch mine."

"Madam, your lack of cooperation has to make me suspicious of you, I need you to follow me to the examination room to search!" The soldier smiled lewdly as he reached out and grabbed the young girl's arm.

"I can cooperate with your examination, but not here." The young girl deftly took two steps back, then said to the soldier with a meaningful smile.

As if he understood something, the soldier immediately nodded excitedly and said, "Yes, it is indeed inconvenient to check here, so let's go to the examination room with me." Under a lewd laugh from his accomplices, the soldier led the young girl into the examination room and locked the doors and windows.

"Come on, ma'am, and let me see how you cooperate with my examination."

"Okay, but I want you to see something first." As she spoke, the girl suddenly took out a stunner from her bosom and pointed it at the soldier, who before he could open his mouth, the girl rushed up and gagged him with her hand.

"Shhhh If I were you, you wouldn't choose to yell right now. After speaking, the girl reached out and took out the gun from the soldier's waist and threw it aside, then took two steps back and sat on the stool, and then said calmly: "I want you to tell me what has happened to Paradise Island recently." ”

"You, you, I'm ......", the soldier was visibly nervous as he faced the young girl's muzzle, his eyes glancing at the door. Baidu takes a look at the latest chapter of "Island Tycoon's Lonely Era of Outstanding Literature" to read for free for the first time.
