190. Despised
Locke had lived in Porto Fesom for almost a decade, but few people paid attention to him. He usually lives in seclusion, just a bald inspector behind the counter of the Golden Dian Store who is never obtrusive.
There are no more than two people who know that he is the boss behind the Golden Gang, and these people are either dead or impossible to say. The Golden Gang is long gone, a history that has been buried and never been made public.
The Locke that people are talking about today is the name used by Mr. Avaji Fogen locally, one of the standing committee members of the People's Committee of the city of Fisogang.
He has beautiful short blond hair, and compared with half a year ago, not only is his figure thinner, but even his wrinkles have disappeared, and his temperament is even more radiant.
Even if people who had seen him before, they would not associate him with the original inspector of the Golden Dian Shop, and they felt like two people, even if the change in appearance was actually small.
If someone stood up now and pointed out Locke's former identity, not only would no one believe him, but he would be scolded, and if he didn't get it right, he would be beaten.
Of course, those who preach Locke's deeds don't mention that history, and they don't even seem to know it, and they praise Lord Fogen.
A representative of the local Aborigines, Charles is a compelling character, born in one of the poorest and most chaotic neighborhoods, raised by his mother and aunts, and raised with a group of siblings and cousins.
He joined the gang, was a gang boss for a while, and then revolutionized himself, formed a new alliance and became the president, building the Kling District to completely change the face of the city, and became the respected leader of all.
Charles's experience is not only legendary and inspirational enough, but also very immersive, he is like a familiar version of himself, so people's admiration for him is also genuinely empathetic.
But Locke's identity is another symbol, which is dreamlike and even totemmic.
The history of Port Fesot is a history of colonies, and the kingdoms of Lanxi, Belli, and Yin were once the suzerains of the country of Jili, and they still leave various indelible traces here.
The local people's mentality towards this kind of history is very complicated, and it may not be understood by many Dongguo people.
On the one hand, they have a sensitive self-esteem, like to brag, wear gold chains, and dress up brightly, even if they have no money in their pockets and are still hungry.
They don't like to be belittled, and if they hear something like that, they feel angry and hurt to say it. But on the other hand, it is also a sign of low self-esteem, and they have a strong desire to be recognized.
This is contradictory and reasonable. Because they do live in the poorest, chaotic, backward, and dangerous places in the world, the overseas people they can contact are basically those tourists who are either rich or expensive, or celebrities who come to engage in charity.
Those who came from overseas were knowledgeable and well-spoken, and their every move was enviable. The feeling of meeting Princess Kertia for the first time when Charles was a teenager should be the most typical representative of this.
There is such a contrast, and the locals aspire to be like that. As long as many people in the country earn money and receive higher education, they basically want to emigrate overseas, and in short, they will not want to continue to stay here.
When locals see outsiders, they often wonder if they are living in paradise. And people who leave here will sigh that they have lived in hell without knowing it.
This kind of envy and even flattery in the bones is often unconscious. They have never been strong since ancient times, what is the self-confidence of the nation and culture? I don't know, I don't have a concept at all!
People who are truly strong at ease can often be strong inside. For example, Hua Zhenxing, if someone looks down on him because he is just a guy in a grocery store, he will never care.
But in another case, if the owner of the grocery store is not Yang Tehong, Hua Zhenxing is really just a guy in a grocery store here. Someone laughs at him for this identity, and he may find it difficult not to be angry, but also to feel hurt, and also has sensitive self-esteem and hidden inferiority.
Therefore, Locke's deeds seem like a legend in mythology, he is a super-rich man with a long history of aristocratic origin and admirable character in Bailuo Island.
More importantly, he chose the port of Africa, not only living here, but now he is also a full citizen of the country of several miles, giving a huge amount of investment support to the reform and development of the port of Africa.
Locke's deeds were spread by well-intentioned people, and it immediately became the most interesting topic for the locals...... This is a saint, like God gave it to Philoso!
Hearing Jo Gaole's answer, Hua Zhenxing immediately called Cui Wanhe, the director of the publicity department of Huanxiang Industrial Headquarters. The Ministry of Culture and Propaganda is not only creating and controlling public opinion, but also tracking and paying attention to public opinion at any time, and such things should not be hidden from them.
The news I got from the Ministry of Culture and Propaganda was indeed the case, and Choi Wan-hyuk also introduced more details, and almost everyone in the whole of Fesogang has been talking about Locke's deeds recently.
If you regard it as a trend, it is to carry on the brushing activities of the previous period, the brushing is material, and the discussion and dissemination of Locke's deeds is spiritual.
It first started with various oily noodle restaurants, and some people asked others in the noodle restaurants, do you know who opened these noodle restaurants? After the answer is given, Locke's other deeds are preached.
Hua Zhenxing asked Cui Wanhyuk if he found that someone was promoting this public opinion in an organized way behind the scenes? Choi Wan-hyuk said that she didn't know, but she had suspicions in this regard, and she was currently investigating, and she didn't find anything for the time being.
But one thing is for sure, this matter is not led by the Huanxiang Industrial Propaganda Department. It seems that someone has seen various relevant reports from overseas media, and then excitedly relayed them to the people around them, thus setting off this wave of public opinion.
After hanging up the phone, Hua Zhenxing was speechless for a while. The former boss behind the gang was proclaimed as a saint in the blink of an eye, which is really an indescribable paradox.
Although the former Locke did not have too obvious bad deeds, it was by no means a good thing, his real transformation began on that rainy night, and everything he did afterwards was a kind of self-redemption in Hua Zhenxing's view.
As for his being honored by the royal family of Belli, and being reported so many admirable deeds, it was all a deliberate misunderstanding......
"Boss Hua, why is your expression so solemn, is there something wrong?" Jogale spoke again, interrupting Hua Zhenxing's musings.
Hua Zhenxing turned his head and asked, "Mr. Yue, I believe that many things can't escape your eyes. In your opinion, is this a behind-the-scenes organized push by someone? ”
Jogaulle replied dryly: "Of course! Multi-point outbreaks, mutual linkage, rapid formation of hot spots, and use various ways to continue to maintain the heat, not organized and planned hell!
Although you are very smart and you are in the age of the Internet, you are suffering from living in this place of Filso. If you live in a country where the news media and online information are very developed, you can react immediately, and you don't need to ask me. ”
Hua Zhenxing: "Did you do it?" ”
Jogale shook his head exaggeratedly and said, "Without evidence, how can you smear people's innocence?" I'm just a spectator and have nothing to do with it. I could even swear that if I had done it, I would have been struck by thunder! ”
Hua Zhenxing looked up at the sky, and asked Gao Le to sneer again: "Boss Hua, don't scare me, I really didn't do it." ”
If you change to a local who likes to run trains with his mouth full, he swears that Hua Zhenxing is only thinking that he is farting. But when a great magician said this, Hua Zhenxing believed it, and he asked again, "Mr. Yue, who do you think did it?" ”
"I'm just a spectator and have nothing to do with it." Jogole said exactly the same thing as he had just said.
Hua Zhenxing: "Appointment lawyer, I can pay your consultation fee." ”
"Without evidence, how can you defile people's innocence?" He said the same thing again.
Hua Zhenxing frowned as if talking to himself: "You didn't do it, could it be Lian Na?" ”
Yogaole shook his head again and again: "I thought Boss Hua was very smart, but it turned out that he would make such a childish mistake." It's no wonder that it's always inevitable that there will be differences between relatives and relatives!
You don't really think of Lianna as your own, at least not in the most trustworthy circle. According to the most normal logic, instead of doubting Lianna, why don't you doubt Locke himself? ”
Hua Zhenxing shook his head and said, "It can't be Locke." ”
Jogole laughed: "It shows that you trust and understand Locke, and it also shows that you don't fully trust Lena and don't fully understand her."
It doesn't matter, no one can fully trust anyone. But you have to have a brain! What is the difference between what Lena did and what Locke himself did?
The two of them sleep in the same room every day, Locke is such a shrewd person, if it was Lian Na who did it, he would not know, and if he knew, would he not stop it?
If he didn't stop it, it would be tantamount to Locke's own connivance. And you say it can't be Locke, then it can't be Lianna. ”
Hua Zhenxing was the first to suspect Lian Na, because he really couldn't think of who was suspicious, so he could only think of Lian Na, who had the closest relationship with Locke, but was ridiculed by Jo Gaole one after another.
There is nothing to be ashamed of being timid in front of people like Jo Gaole, Old Man Yang is very thick-skinned, Hua Zhenxing feels that he should also get a little bit of truth from his old man in this regard, so he laughed and said: "Lawyer Yue, since you mentioned this matter, give some advice." ”
Jo Gaole's tone changed: "You just said that you want to pay a consultation fee?" ”
Hua Zhenxing: "How much do you want." ”
Jo Gaole: "A box of Chunrong Dan." ”
Hua Zhenxing: "Want this?" In a few days, there will be 300 boxes! ”
Jogole: "That's different, this box is my personal one, you gave it to me." ”
There are endless incidents of extortion and extortion in Feisuo Port, Hua Zhenxing has been disgusted since he was a child, but he has always been just a bystander, and these things have not fallen on him. not
Thinking that the first time I was blackmailed was such a large amount, a box of Chunrong Dan, the wholesale price of the general agent is 20 million Dongguo dollars, just a few words of consultation, what lawyer charges so much?
Hua Zhenxing: "You are a big man, a great magician, what do you want Chunrong Dan to do?" Listening to the tone, he still wanted to struggle.
Jo Gaulle: "I don't need it myself, but I can give it away, who can't have a good match?" Boss Hua, I always thought that you were very angry, and it was not wise to be stingy at this time. ”
Hua Zhenxing: "Okay, I'll give it to you!" As he spoke, he turned around and went into the house and went to the warehouse, took a box of Chunrong Dan out, which looked like a cigarette, and handed it to Yo Gaole on the spot.
As soon as Gao Le took the box of Chunrong Dan and flipped his wrist, the thing disappeared, and asked with a satisfied smile: "I'll provide Boss Hua with a little idea." If you want to analyze who did something, you must first analyze what is the purpose and who can benefit from it? ”
Hua Zhenxing replied: "On the surface, it seems that Locke has benefited, because he has brushed up his reputation points. So assuming it's Locke, what's the point of him doing this? This does him no real good, if he wants to replace Charles, it is simply the wrong medicine! ”
How did Charles get his position, and can he be replaced by Locke? Outsiders don't know, Locke himself doesn't know! Besides, Locke has no need to do this, if he really has this idea, not only is he taking the wrong medicine, it is simply looking for death, and this is not at all in line with Locke's character.
Jogale: "This shows that the person who did this didn't know anything about it, and didn't know that it was Locke himself who didn't like this result the most." So let me ask you, who will benefit from this? ”
Hua Zhenxing wondered: "This is the weird place, if it wasn't for Locke himself, who else could benefit from it?" ”
Jogale didn't answer, but asked: "Boss Hua is the controller of this city, and I'm just an outsider who has just arrived here, do you still want to ask me?" ”
Hua Zhenxing: "This is what I can't figure out, who is doing it for what purpose, and what benefit can it do to him?" ”
Jogole: "You have your intuition, the first thought just now actually came to mind of Lianna, so who else did you think of?" ”
Hua Zhenxing: "Brecch and Pidan, the two messengers from the Gambisting, senior magicians. ”
Jogole: "You have thought of it, why don't you suspect them in the first place?" ”
Hua Zhenxing replied: "They will compliment Locke, but there is no need to do it this way. Moreover, these two magicians are the key targets of the new alliance, and they have stayed by O'Haim's side for the past few days, and they have never stepped out of that courtyard at all.
The people who came into contact with them were also the internal backbone of the new alliance, and if it was them or O'Haim who did it, the Ministry of Culture and Propaganda would probably have found out a long time ago, and it would not be just suspicious but without any clues. ”
Jo Gaole: "The memory of the boss of Kaohua, the first time we met, what did we say when we left?" ”
Hua Zhenxing thought for a while and replied: "It's not a big problem if you can see it, be careful of those things you haven't seen yet." ”
Joglor: "What do you think of now?" ”
Hua Zhenxing shook his head and said, "I still didn't think of anything." ”
Yogaole sighed and said, "He looks like a very smart child, why don't you open his mind?" If that's the case, you won't be the boss behind the scenes, and you'll have a hard time controlling the city to do what you want. ”
Is this despised? Hua Zhenxing suddenly patted his head and said, "I think of a person, that Oude Divine Magician, a native of the East Country whose original name is Gu Wentong. ”
Jogole let out a sigh of relief and said, "People don't think of themselves as Dongguo. You finally remember him, but he's dull enough! ”
