Chapter 275: Affairs (Two Shifts in One)
The car fell from a cliff or other place, crashed, and burned to the ground, which is also the favorite method used by the people of Poseidon Island.
The high temperature generated by the combustion of gasoline, the plastic, rubber and artificial leather melted by the heat, the deformed and charred body, can annihilate almost all the evidence - bloodstains, fingerprints, hair, sperm spots, etc., etc., etc., you can not find traces of abuse or rape on them, and it is difficult to find out the cause of their death, and even for a while, you can't even figure out their identity, and when you finally make a little progress - there will be a dozen people testifying that it was just an accident - your boss will give you another case, And hint that you are about to get a raise and promotion in the near future, and it is best for you to put away the notebook for recording testimony as soon as possible, the tweezers for searching for evidence, and the brain for thinking about the case...... This case is closed, and it has nothing to do with you or any of the cops.
"The kid was determined not to be Konstantin. Cloven's? Beelzebub asked.
"Even if it were," said Sasha, "he would not have survived with such a mother." His mother was an unfaithful person, a slut, and the Clovin family loved face, and a leader, or future leader, would be ashamed of having such a background. β
"Like how noble that guy is the Yankees." Beipu said that on Poseidon Island, men who go outside to "work" will have mistresses, and they generally will not allow mistresses to give them children, but there are always times when they are secret, if it is a girl, they will give it to her biological mother to raise and give a large sum of money; If it was a boy, he would take him back to Poseidon Island and leave him to be raised by his mother, aunt or sister - it must be noted that the child's mother would never have anything to do with him again.
The previous Iron Hammer Toto had such a boy, and Beelzebub's mother's identity was not so upright, but the rule of the Poseidon Island people was that the child followed the father, and a man was willing to give a boy a surname. It means acknowledging that he is his son, and that he has the same rights and obligations in the whole family as other boys, perhaps the only difference. It is difficult for him to get any powerful care and help from his nominal "mother" - human nature, no matter how much a woman loves her husband, she will not love him with living evidence of his betrayal of himself and his family.
Therefore, Beelzebub must marry a girl from Poseidon Island in the future. Bissandi doesn't have a wife, but because of that, Beelzebub needs more support - and so does little Hopkins, who can fall in love and have one or two girlfriends, but he must never marry a girl from the Western Continent.
When Lila showed up, Bepp was still a little worried. But he soon found himself overwhelmed, and the girl's hobbies were different.
"Is that enough?" He asked.
"That's enough." Sasha said.
The castor beans bloom and bear fruit all year round, but the end of September to the beginning of October is the most vigorous breeding period, and the small red and green thorny fruits still look quite cute. Hidden inside were highly poisonous, black seeds, and several small metallic inky blue beetles mated on the wide dark green leaves, and the two boys walked through the castor swarm, the castor branches and leaves shook violently from side to side, and the beetles remained motionless and continued to do their great job.
"Man......," Bepp sighed.
"They're back." Hopkins said.
He and Chegalle. Bisandi is waiting for the kids in the kitchen β in the style of the "ghoul". The kitchen of the house was enlarged, it occupied half of the dining room, and the original furniture and equipment Hopkins was left with only a large cutting board made of whole roots, the kind on which a lamb with full hooves and tails could be placed and chopped, and everything else was thrown awayβin its place, two professional stoves capable of stewing, boiling, roasting, and frying at the same time; Comes with a heavy pan in five sizes. a colander for boiling noodles, a decent soup pot, a large copper pot that can fit into the lamb in front, and a small pot that can only warm a cup of goat's milk; An old-fashioned oven with a clumsy style, but an amazing capacity. also two; Knives with black handles protruding from the stainless steel knife holder, heavy, light, wide, narrow...... neat and sharp; stacked on top of each other, small, cheese-coloured wood-grain cutting boards; Spice bottles and spice jars in drawers; two double-door refrigerators; Separate pantry; At the center of the kitchen is a marble table top for cutting and kneading, which is larger than the usual six-seat dining table.
In addition to Chegalle and Anthony. In addition to Hopkins, there were several other men, who were the commander of the Bissandi family, the hammer, the advisors, the lawyers, the counselors, and other important people, as well as Father Peter.
They drank wine, ate cheese, pears and peaches, and now that the discussion among the adults was over, the next thing to know was what the children should know.
Hopkins prepared a rainbow cake about two feet in diameter, with white cream on the outside, sprinkled with chocolate crumbs, and rich hazelnut jam on each layer. Anthony. Hopkins didn't use food coloring when making it, and each color was taken from a fruit or vegetable.
"Bring me a piece first." Chegalle. Bisandi said unceremoniously, and then he looked at the people in the house, they were very respectful to Chegalle, but not necessarily to Beelzebub, and some questioned whether Beelzebub should be allowed to do so. Bissandi had been involved in the family business at this age, and they thought it would be more appropriate for Beelzebub to turn twenty years old - he was still a big child, and although he had passed the test and made two deals, they were all in Chegalle. It was done with the guidance and help of Bissandi.
And Sasha. Hopkins, they were also full of suspicions that one day, this beautiful boy would marry one of their daughters and become a trustworthy Poseidon Islander, but that was for the future - Poseidon would never be able to entrust his life and family to an outsider, even if he was a god or a demon.
Chegalle. Bisandi knew what they were thinking, but the people here except Anthony. Hopkins and Father Peter, he won't give either of them to Beelzebub. than Sandy's. Just as they didn't trust a non-Poseidon Islander, he didn't trust any ordinary person, Beelzebub. Bisandi's team wasn't hereβhe just had to watch these people and paralyze them, for ten years, or five years, like the heads of those families. He will be in Beelzebub. Bissandi took the scepter from his hand before sending them to death.
Men's seating is arranged around the kitchen, while children's seating and Chegalle. As Bisandy got closer, Dr. Hopkins stood, cutting cakes for them.
"There's something about those Yankees." Father Peter said: "We have something new. β
"Madame Clovin has won," said the commander of the Bisandy family, who commanded the Bisandy legion, "with lightning speed, stormy firepower, reasonable and timely staffing, and with great bribery and bribery, she succeeded, and she gained control of one hundred and seventy miles north of Orlosa." β
"Including that new diamond mine?"
"Of course." Father Peter said, "Otherwise, all her work has been in vain." β
"How much is that diamond mine worth?" The staff officer asked: "I read in the newspaper that it is worth 100 billion yuan. β
"They can't develop it all at once, so that the value of the diamonds will depreciate significantly." "They may build a new city there and gradually dig and sell diamonds over thirty years," the commander said. β
"Tell us about the diamond mine." Chegaral said to the lawyer who represented him.
"I'll be brief." The lawyer said, "Look at this cake. He held up a small silver fork, "The structure of the earth is a bit like a rainbow cake, with the outermost surface being between zero and sixty-two miles thick," the fork lifted the layer of cream, "and then the mantle." The fork counted the cakes, one, two, three, four, "about 1,800 miles thick, and the diamond cambium was about a hundred miles thick." In other words, the outer periphery of the mantle, beyond the surface of the earth, and the deepest place that humans can drill to is only 7.5 miles, so to speak, it is necessary to get a diamond directly. It's something that is completely impossible at this stage β we can see diamonds today, mostly thanks to the magma that flows under the mantle, and carries a lot of things, including diamond-bearing rock formations, as the magma struggles its way up the cracks in the earth's crust. It has to be fast, otherwise in the process of rising, there is a good chance that the diamond will be converted into graphite due to the change in pressure......" He paused, as the eyes of several people had begun to daz, scattered, and with a little unspeakable pain, "In short, the eruption stopped, and the magma carrying the diamonds formed a cone-shaped funnel, which is what we often call a rock tube. β
"So, the Yankees got a big tube." Iron Hammer said with a look of "Wow, I'm so smart".
The lawyer patiently said, "No," he said as kindly as he could, "the diamond mine north of Orrosa was not created in this way, it is a crater, and the diamonds in it were created by the tremendous pressure and high temperature generated in an instant when a huge meteorite hit the earth and exploded 35 million years ago - there may be a graphite mine in that place." β
"Then why are you talking to us?" Iron Hammer asked, confused.
"Because it started out of those tubes is now the world's largest mining conglomerate, which controls the global diamond trade through the Diamond Consolidation Organization." The lawyer said that the others nodded, and they understood this, "They hoard diamonds, selling more when they are less, and selling less when they are more." The commander said.
"But now there's a place where we can dig up more diamonds." "And they can't control it," Chegalle said. β
"So 'those people' can't let those districts keep the mine." "With this diamond pit, they're going to leave the federation immediately β fortunately, it's always been a disputed area," the lawyer said. β
"And what about Mrs. Cloven?"
"The area controlled by the Clovin family is very poor, very poor, or has been torn apart by war, and they have far less resources than the big regions in the far north - the diamond pit in Orlosa has been depleted, and we only see a dredger there (a special vehicle for diamond digging) for tourists to take pictures, their coal, oil, gas, forests are almost empty, and they are now most people." Father Peter said: "Even with that diamond mine, the Clovin family is left to survive, and they will never dare to secede from the Federation. β
"That diamond mine," said the commander, "how much profit can we get?" He really couldn't figure out why he was talking about it: "We're too far away from it." β
"What do you think?" Chegall said, "Beelzebub, you've been there." β
"There is no good," Beelzebub said calmly, "only bad." When everyone's eyes were focused on him, the boy didn't show a panicked look: "The Clovin family is a good puppy barking to the federal government, but if they really get that diamond mine." For us, it's a strong, sturdy wolf that is hungry to the point of madness. β
Commander and Iron Hammer, Staff Officer. The lawyer immediately remembered the entire plane's munitions.
"They've got the diamond mines." The commander said: "Do we have a way to blow up somewhere?" β
"Only fission weapons can deal with that big pit." Beelzebub said, "If we could do that, we wouldn't have to worry about the Clovins." β
"We've got to do something." The commander said.
"Tell me," said the staff officer, "is there anything you can do?" I think you have. He smiled slyly at Chegalle: "Say, let's listen." β
"I have a document here," Sasha said, "and I can't say how I got it, but I can vouch for it." β
"It seems that the little ones have been prepared." The commander teased without malice, "I can't wait to see it." β
The lawyer took a copy and lowered his head to read it carefully, there were a lot of technical terms in it, and even he looked a little struggling. So he once again took on the role of translator: "They say that all the diamonds in this diamond mine are ten times larger than the total number of diamonds known in the world today......
"That's not good news." Iron Hammer said.
"Diamonds are twice as hard as regular diamonds." The lawyer said: "...... Due to this unique physical property, they are more suitable for use in high-tech and industrial markets. β
He blinked, "Oh, I seem to have gotten a little bit of a idea. β
"Hey!" Iron Hammer protested, pouring himself a glass of wine.
"Who's buying diamonds?" The lawyer asked himself: "Woman." β
"Big mistake." The commander complained: "It's a woman's man - look at my mother-in-law, diamonds for a date, diamonds for an engagement, of course more for marriage, and this or that anniversary, birthday, Valentine's Day." Christmas, Passover, Easter...... You can't go home for dinner, buy a diamond; You and your sister-in-law are sleeping, buy a diamond; You have humiliated your mother-in-law, buy a diamond; You got angry and hit her. Buy a diamond...... Diamonds can do anything, it's a panacea β and women live for it. β
ββ¦β¦ So," said the lawyer, "imagine a man popping up and saying to them when the women were rejoicing for more diamonds." Sorry, ladies and gentlemen, these diamonds are not suitable for your ears, forehead, neck and wrists, they are only suitable for precision parts of airplanes, wear-resistant bearings and drills, or glass knives. β
"Oh," the advisor shook his head in feigned sadness, "they'll be immediately interested." β
"They can sell diamonds to factories." Iron Hammer said.
"And a price for man-made diamonds?" Said the consultant.
Iron Hammer made a "understood" gesture, and he had little interest in learning since he was a child - but many of the members of the "Masoye" were engaged in "belt tie three balls" (referring to pawn shops), and they sometimes played tricks such as zirconia with a square to pass off as diamonds, yttrium almandine and fluorite as emeralds, red spinel as rubies, and so on.
"So, when are we going to throw this document out?" The advisor looked at Chegalle. Bisandi.
"Find a way to get Konstantin. Clovin got his hands on the document. Beelzebub said.
"He's also from the Clovin family." The adviser said that he was still the future leader.
"We'll try to add a funny little message." Father Peter said that he didn't expect the card to be played in a few days, and that he thought about trading it for something else.
"What if this little news doesn't work." The adviser said that if Konstantin. Cloven wasn't as stupid as they thought.
"Don't we still have this document in our possession?" Beelzebub said: "If Konstantin does not move within forty-eight hours, we will release the news." β
Chegalle. Bisandi never spoke, and when he heard this, he swallowed a large piece of cake with satisfaction.
"I don't want to know where this document came from, and it's not that important if it's true or not," the adviser said, "but can I find out, do 'those people' know about it?" β
"I think they know." Anthony. Hopkins said.
"Then why do they go to such great lengths?" "They could have presented this document before the development of the diamond pit in those regions was ready," the adviser said. β
"Is there anything better than what is happening now?" Anthony. "Even if Clovin has always been docile, the few regions they control and the few regions in the far north are still a big problem for 'those people,' and they're absolutely happy to watch the Northerners mess around," Hopkins said. Not to mention, this is also a rare good opportunity, those long-standing guns and bullets can finally be sold for a good price - due to policy changes, urbanization leading to the shrinking of hunting grounds, the popularity of online games three main reasons, the sales of guns in the Western Continent is not getting worse day by day, the gun industry is worried, they donated 25 million yuan to the Boy Scout Association's shooting program, in exchange for the Boy Scouts in 46 regions to lower the children's hunting age to 10 years old, or remove the age limit; Coupon clips with fried chicken and drink vouchers are also distributed and mailed everywhere, and on the reverse side of the coupon are printed with semi-automatic rifles, baseball bats, and fishing rods; Buy a car, subscribe to satellite TV to get a pistol and shotgun, and get rid of age and background checks.
One of them even openly declared in the newspapers and on television that every boy and girl over the age of nine should have a gun of their own. β
The advisor snorted: "They're crazy. β
This sentence of Poseidon Island is really ironic. But if one day, the words of this famous figure in the gun world become true - the children of the Western Continent will be exposed to murder weapons earlier than the children of Poseidon Island.
