Chapter 269 Decision-making
Cui Jian called Yiyi and when the call was connected, Cui Jian explained, "He was released. He is one of us."
Yiyi: "What's the matter?"
Cui Jian: "Why were Diudiu and the others arrested?"
Yiyi replied: "Team Diujie exchanged fire with criminals at Huayang Primary School and two people were shot. After the police arrived, they sent the injured to the hospital and confiscated their guns for search. Then they were asked to show project information to prove that their guns were used to protect their employers. But there was no employer at the scene, and they did not show project information. The police detained them on charges of misusing guns."
Yiyi finished her words and complained: "I'm not a lawyer, what can I do? Either find a new employer for them, or hand over the surname Shi."
Cui Jian asked: "What did Lawyer Mo say?"
Yiyi said, "He acknowledged the Shi Hao project, but he said that he was disconnected from the internet during work and didn't receive the company's call, so he didn't know that Shi Hao was a wanted criminal by the police. In this way, he can clear himself of his personal criminal behavior. However, the company has violated relevant laws and regulations by not informing the police that it has undertaken the wanted criminal Shi Hao's project. Given the influence of the Ye family, Lawyer Mo speculates that the final result will be that the company will suspend operations for rectification and pay a fine."
Yiyi said, "We have to wait for Mr. Ye to make a decision on how to deal with this. The company will be closed for a month, and all the bodyguard and security projects that we have taken on before will be invalidated. The home security department will also be affected, and we will have to pay a penalty for breach of contract. The punitive fine plus the penalty is estimated to be around 30 billion won."
Yiyi said, "If Mr. Ye said that the company had contacted Diudiu and explained the situation, but did not inform the police that the company had undertaken Shi Hao's project, the company would most likely not need to suspend business for rectification. Mr. Ye's assistant said that money is a small matter, and suspending business for a month would cause serious damage to the company's reputation."
Ye Lan only uses her personal cell phone when she is resting. If there is anything important, she can contact the general assistant. The general assistant is not sure about Ye Lan's attitude and does not make it final. Mo Ling uses some connections, and the police station detains the four people first on the grounds that the Huayang District case is given priority, and will re-examine them tomorrow.
Yiyi finally said: "While I was talking to you, the police issued the second-highest level warning internally. All police officers' leave was stopped, the number of patrol police was doubled, and all field police were required to carry guns and wear bulletproof vests. I'm very sleepy, so you ask someone to check what's going on." Yiyi didn't know about the tripartite talks. She has now transferred to logistics and become a technical training officer for Hellhounds or quasi-Hellhounds.
Because she had some unfinished business, Shengzi couldn't drink, sing or dance. She could only smash the keyboard and watch the two men next to her chat and eat.
Shengzi complained, "Since you're asking people to work overtime, why don't you tell them what they're supposed to do?"
Cui Jian said: "Something important must have happened. As far as I can remember, the only time an alert was issued overnight was during the Battle of Plum Blossom Island. Even during the Battle of Blue Enchantress, a notice was issued the next day, and the alert level was only raised by two levels."
The highest alert level is Level 4, which is usually only used for foreign invasions and large-scale riots. The next highest level, Level 12, is equivalent to a disguised curfew. The curfew time is not announced to the citizens, but after o'clock in the evening, patrol officers will focus on checking people and cars that are still outside. Usually, the next highest level of alert is only activated when facing or encountering a terrorist attack.
It was not until four in the morning that Shengzi finally stopped, took a sip of the room temperature beer, and said, "I know, because the trajectory was found."
"What trajectory?"
"In the Huayang District gunfight, several victims were killed by the same pistol. The bullet on the roof of the civilian vehicle also came from this pistol. The police accepted the testimony of the civilian vehicle eyewitness: the five Seven Killers appeared in Hancheng at the same time." Shengzi glanced at Cui Jian and continued: "In order to prevent the Seven Killers from continuing to do things that endanger society, Hancheng activated the fourth-level alert after the report was approved."
Lao Tu silently drank a sip of beer and looked at Cui Jian: "Do you know who did it?"
"Bai Qi." Cui Jian said calmly, "He opened the window."
After experiencing the baptism of the Seven Killers many times, it is normal for the Hancheng police to have such a reaction after confirming that there are 5 Seven Killers gathered in Hancheng. After comprehensively sorting out the information and clues, the police got a strange message: more than 40 people including the Thunder Squad broke into Huayang Primary School and besieged the Dayin security bodyguards, but involved the Seven Killers who were secretly meeting there in a gunfight. When the Seven Killers were at a disadvantage, they decisively deployed two reserve teams to turn the tide.
Inventory: 5 people killed in a broken car, 6 people killed in a ski cap, and 5 people killed in an SUV. Together, the number of people killed in Hancheng was 16. If the technical support personnel outside the siege are included, the number of people killed in the siege is basically the same as the number of people killed in the Plum Blossom Island Massacre.
The answer is obvious: Qi Sha intends to stage the second season of Plum Blossom Island in Hancheng. However, they are accidentally involved in a gunfight while plotting.
According to the gangsters who were sent to the hospital for treatment, they were targeting the bodyguards of the faculty building and did not know there were armed personnel in the teaching building. They did not expect the presence of a ski mask and an SUV. He and several other gangsters who were sent to the hospital were sure that at least one person in the ski mask and one person in the SUV were shot.
In order to find the seven murderers, the police spent a lot of time collecting blood at the scene and expedited DNA testing.
After contacting the housekeeper, Shengzi sent an email to the police in the name of Seven Kills, first admitting that the person who shot at the civilian vehicle was a member of Seven Kills and had been severely punished. At the same time, they said that they had no plans or ideas for large-scale operations in Hancheng in the near future.
Cui Jian, Lao Tu and Sheng Zi all like Hancheng very much and don't want to cause panic in the city because of their own mistakes. Even if the citizens don't panic, the police's alert level will greatly affect the lives and work of the citizens.
Cui Jian took the initiative to propose the punishment. Although he was influenced by the objective environment at the time, it was wrong for him to shoot at a civilian vehicle. Therefore, Cui Jian voluntarily donated half a year's salary to the orphanage.
I gave Riyue half a year's salary and fined myself half a year's salary, and I still had one year's salary left.
Speaking of this topic, Cui Jian said: "If we destroy the ice spikes, we can break the regulatory threat and we can get our salaries again. Shengzi, you will have unlimited funds by then."
Shengzi's back straightened immediately. As a hellhound, she knew too well the damage that the Ice Thorn monitoring account would do to Qi Sha. However, several hours had passed since the USB data was transferred, and there was still no response from the housekeeper.
This was also the main reason why Cui Jian and Lao Tu stayed to eat meat and drink. Should they go to war with Bing Ci? After going to war with the official system, even if you have countless reasons, you will definitely not be able to turn things around.
In ancient times, if a citizen sued an official, he would be beaten 20 times before he could speak. It is wrong for the village chief to bully men and women and take human lives, but if you incite everyone to resist and kill the village chief, that is rebellion. Even if you kill the village chief alone for revenge, you will still face the death penalty. Because opening this loophole will cause everyone to be in danger.
Going to war with Bingci is equivalent to going to war with the government. Not only will they face targeted blockades and crackdowns, but new Bingci will also be born, which will suppress Qisha even more forcefully. Therefore, going to war with Bingci will not benefit Qisha in any way.
Cui Jian and the other two had a premonition that the housekeeper had not given any news. If there was a best solution, the housekeeper would not have delayed for so long. If he denied the evidence, it would not have taken so long. The only possibility was that the matter was of great importance and the evidence had to be confirmed, so the housekeeper had to seek internal opinions.
At 5:30, the sun rose in the east. Cui Jian and Lao Tu helped Shengzi clean up the scene before they received any news. Just as they were about to leave, the butler finally called and the three of them sat down again. The butler said, "We have definite evidence to prove that Bing Ci attempted to hand over our members to the Nemo execution team. This has violated Bing Ci's basic professional ethics. I propose to list Bing Ci as an enemy. In view of the seriousness of this matter, once we take action, we will no longer receive any official sympathy and our living space will be further compressed. Therefore, we need to ask for your opinion. Do you agree to list Bing Ci as an enemy?"
Cui Jian maintained his usual reply: "Yueyao agrees with the housekeeper's decision."
Katsuko: "The four dogs agree."
Lao Tu hesitated and said, "I am the former Tu Yao, and I have retired."
Butler: "You may be one of the three-party liaisons in the future. Please express your opinions as well."
Lao Tu said: "I am a Quinn faction."
There are two factions in Qi Sha, the Quin faction and the Faith faction. The Faith faction is the current Qi Sha, and their style of doing things is based on faith. Quin is a former butler, and he proposed the suggestion of materializing Qi Sha.
For example, the general public generally does not know about the killing of the target by the Seven Killings, let alone why the target was killed, what the target is, and what the Seven Killings are. However, those in the industry know that many people will attribute the deaths of people related to human trafficking to the Seven Killings, further expanding the terrorist impact of the Seven Killings.
The Quin faction attaches great importance to publicity. They use the emerging Internet to list the crimes of each target, packaging the Seven Killers as moralists in order to gain moral support from the public and even some countries, and further develop and strengthen the Seven Killers. After each successful assassination of a target, official confirmation and publicity are carried out to deter those who commit crimes.
The two groups were arguing constantly, so they conducted a survey and found that most people supported them to fight violence with violence and eliminate human traffickers. But these people were not in power. Those in power emphasized law and order. And they would not allow the existence of a violent group with a large number of fans.
There were two interesting respondents in the survey. They were civilians who believed that the Seven Killings was a way to make up for the lack of laws. In the general election a year later, they both became state legislators. At this time, they changed their previous statements and believed that any violent behavior outside the legal framework was not allowed.
The main body of the contradiction: the lower class people demand justice, while the people in power value order. In most cases, justice and order are incompatible.
The Quine faction put forward more moderate suggestions. Their core was to make the actions of Qi Sha known to the public, establish the credibility of Qi Sha, etc. When trying the Quine policy, the first order went wrong.
Quinn first created a virtual live broadcast to conduct a public trial of the human traffickers. Both the judges and the traffickers thought it was a real live broadcast.
In this fake live broadcast, the human trafficker refused to admit his crime. He told the camera that he was framed by Qi Sha, and that Qi Sha kidnapped his child for this live broadcast.
Then the cross-examination began. For the first case, Qi Sha spent three months and a lot of manpower and material resources collecting evidence, but the human trafficker who was a lawyer actually found many errors in the details.
The Quintians discovered the main problem: they did not have national resources and could not testify against the criminals one by one. If they wanted to push the Seven Killings to public opinion, all actions must comply with the principles of fairness and justice. People would use the scales of law to weigh your evidence and would also point fingers at your actions.
Quinn resigned. After his resignation, many people still supported Quinn's views. They believed that it was just a wrong approach and Qi Sha should expand its influence. The Quin school later became synonymous with pragmatism. They believed that the interests of Qi Sha should be considered first in everything.
For example, in today's incident, the choice of the Quinn faction must not allow the Seven Kills to be completely suppressed, but also cannot condone Bing Ci's violation of the law. If going to war with Bing Ci will greatly reduce the living space of the Seven Kills, they will definitely firmly oppose it.
Lao Tu said: "If there is no compromise between husband and wife, then the relationship cannot be maintained. Between officials and the public, between superiors and subordinates, etc., a certain degree of compromise is required to achieve a positive-sum game. If you insist on being tough and refuse to compromise, it can only be a zero-sum game. Regarding the Bing Ci incident, I think we can hand over the evidence to the media and use official pressure to force Bing Ci to make adjustments and deal with the responsible person."
Lao Tu said, "I am just expressing my opinion. I don't want Qi Sha's road to become more difficult. Listing Bing Ci as an enemy will have a greater impact than the Plum Blossom Island tragedy ten times. What will happen if the authorities take it seriously? First, they will close or take over dozens of Oath Orphanages around the world for various reasons. With just this one tactic, we will be unable to resist."
Lao Tu said: "So I suggest that you carefully consider the consequences and not just kill, kill, kill."
Cui Jian said: "I think all complexities can be simplified."
Lao Tu said: "I think things that seem simple are very complicated."
Cui Jian smiled, stretched out his fist and bumped fists with Lao Tu.
The butler said: "We will definitely consider your suggestions when we make a decision."
Lao Tu: "Thank you. I support all final decisions."
Butler: "Thank you too."
This matter must be decided and dealt with as soon as possible. The embarrassing thing is that 3% of the Ice Thorn members work in Hancheng, and Hancheng now only has one assault rifle and five pistols. The ammunition of the assault rifle was wasted by Lao Tu last night until only half a magazine was left. The good news is that the Seven Killers of Hancheng is Cui Jian, who is the best at using pistols. But the housekeeper is not so confident that Cui Jian can deal with thirty or forty people alone.
People can fly over, but it takes time to transport weapons.
The butler promised that he would make a final decision today.
Cui Jian drove Lao Tu home first, then went back to his own home. He took a shower, made himself some noodles, and fell asleep almost immediately after eating.
Regarding the issue of identity disclosure during body searches, I consulted a friend who is a sea king. His answer was: You can’t tell who is who, no matter how many times you touch them.
