Chapter 822 Life-Saving Charm = Reminder

Falling into the world overnight, ordinary people will definitely not be able to bear it. At this moment, in the Tarot Prison in the Alps, a large group of frustrated people gathered.

In the face of crisis, these well-dressed bigwigs are not much better than ordinary people.

Even in prison, many people still do not accept the reality. Noisy, scolding, threats, enticing... All kinds of wonderful tricks are all on the stage here.

Leo Cohen was an exception, squatting quietly in the corner, quietly watching the crowd perform.

As the richest group of people in the Jewish community, and even in the world, Leo Cohen is well-informed and has experienced all kinds of storms.

To be able to beat many competitors along the way, in addition to being ruthless, more depends on keen judgment.

Before the outbreak of the Great Revolution in 1848, the capitalists were having their last revelry. Leo Cohen sensed the danger and decided to hide.

Even managing the family business is hidden behind the remote control. After the hoarding incident happened, without waiting for the government to settle accounts in the autumn, Leo Cohen did not hesitate to dodge his tail to survive, launched a scapegoat, and took all the charges.

When the Vienna government settled the accounts in the autumn, Leo Cohen secretly submitted the criminal evidence of his colleagues.

It was because of the downfall of his peers and the opportunity of a blank window in the market that Leo Cohen jumped up and became one of the largest retail and wholesalers in Austria.

Then, in accordance with the model operation of capital, the company was listed on the market and cashed out, and then transformed into the banking industry.

To be precise, it is the usury industry. The banks under Leo Cohen do not engage in ordinary commercial loans, but specialize in robbery.

In order to seek greater benefits, Leo Cohen even entered the casino and drug industries, opening a road to rapid fortune.

Looking at Leo Cohen's life history, it is like a villain who has opened up, and has developed an ordinary Jewish family into one of the top Jewish giants in Europe by himself.

Unfortunately, luck always runs out. After the European anti-Semitic movement spread to Austria, it immediately attracted the attention of Leo Cohen.

It's just that the domestic situation in Austria was stable at the time, and there was no sign of large-scale anti-Semitism. Leo Cohen hesitated.

Then, come in. Until his back was jailed, Leo Cohen didn't figure out how he got in.

The network of personal connections that was usually established, not to mention providing him with safe shelter, even the most basic danger warnings were not issued.

Although Austria is very strict on corruption investigations, it cannot be difficult for big capitalists like Leo Cohen.

Direct bribery will not work, but no one can stop the indirect transfer of benefits. Especially after you have your own bank, it is even more difficult to be regulated.

Leo Cohen was able to walk in the sin and gray area and create such a large foundation, relying on the power transaction conveyed by interests.

The trading time has been long, and each other has caught each other's handle. Now everyone is a grasshopper on a rope.

If something happens to Leo Cohen, everyone can be dragged into the water, and according to the current Austrian government's laws, no one can escape.

It is precisely because he has enough chips in his hand that Leo Cohen can't figure out why he has become an abandoned son.

At this time, a middle-aged sheriff and several prison guards walked in, picked up a baton and carried out a punching and kicking repression against the chaotic crowd.

Without waiting for Leo Cohen to feel grateful for his escape, the middle-aged sheriff scolded sharply: "No matter what your identity is outside, you are all one identity here—criminal.

If you want to get out of here alive, then be honest with me! Otherwise, if an accident happens, you will be responsible for all the consequences. "

The sheriff's clamor is not without reason, and the Alpine Tarot Prison also has a name - Hell's Gate.

Those who are eligible to be imprisoned here are all felons who have proven evidence and are waiting for the final sentence of the court.

Generally speaking, people who enter here, even if they are not sentenced to death, will at least be sentenced to more than 30 years of reform through labor.

The prison guards naturally don't need to be polite when dealing with these felons. The so-called leaving alive is nothing more than transferring from this prison to the Middle East or Africa where conditions are even worse.

Hearing the middle-aged sheriff's warning, Leo Cohen knew things were going to go bad.

Prison guards don't care about their lives, there is only one reason, and that is they will all be executed. No one cares how they died only if they were sure to be sentenced to death.

Seeing everyone quiet down, the middle-aged sheriff nodded with satisfaction, and said slowly, "Who is Leo Cohen, come to visit."

Everyone's eyes turned to Leo Cohen, they were all mixed up in a circle, even if they didn't know him, they were familiar with each other.

Under the current circumstances, there are still people who dare to come to visit the prison without avoiding suspicion, that is definitely a life-and-death relationship.

Looking at the envious and jealous expressions on everyone's faces, Leo Cohen could only secretly feel bitter.

You must know that he has just been arrested, even if there are relatives and friends who do not avoid suspicion and are willing to come over to visit, it is absolutely impossible to do so quickly.

Then the person who sees it now, the identity is self-evident. Leo Cohen heard very clearly that it was "visiting prison" instead of "bail". The meaning of a word is different, but the meaning is very different.

Seeing the look of impatience on the face of the middle-aged sheriff, Leo Cohen, who is good at observing words, hurriedly got up and replied, "Mr. Sheriff, I am Leo Cohen, may I ask..."

Before Leo Cohen could finish speaking, the middle-aged sheriff interrupted: "If you want to go over, you can go, where can there be so much nonsense."

Curiosity killed the cat. This is the experience that Manuel has accumulated over the years of work. Manur never asks about things that should not be asked.

Leo Cohen arrived in the reception room with an uneasy mood. Manuel decisively chose Sheen, and even the guards in charge of guarding were evacuated 100 meters away.

Leo Cohen, who had no confidence, was the first to ask, "Sir Ryders, how is the situation outside?"

Ryders shook his head: "The situation is very bad, Mr. Leo. So far, thousands of people have been in prison.

In recent years, you have gone too far, and many people think that you are not pleasing to the eye, and now there are many people who have fallen into trouble.

As an old friend, we will try to get you out, but the current situation is a bit complicated. We must first control the situation and try not to let the situation escalate.

If the situation gets out of hand, you also have to prepare for the worst. Of course, this is only if, the probability of occurrence is very small.

You should know how powerful we are. Even if the situation gets out of control, we will ensure that your family will not be implicated, and we will send them abroad when necessary. "

Hearing this answer, Leo Cohen's face turned ashen. Ryders seemed to be comforting, but in fact he was warning him, telling him clearly: talking nonsense will kill the whole family.

I can't go out until I have been tried by the court, and it is even more impossible to go out after being convicted.

If a suspect can't be caught, it's even harder to catch a convicted felon. It's not a matter of wanting or not, but that no one can do it at all.

Unless Franz personally issued an amnesty, or under Austrian law, the private release of criminals is the same crime.

Even if there are officials who dare to take risks, the people below will not dare to execute them.

There are too many people involved, and if there is a problem in any link in the middle, all participants will be finished together.

This is a lesson from the past. There was a classic case a few years ago, a second-generation pit directly into more than 100 people.

This wave is quite lucky. If the one who was released is a prisoner on death row, and everyone has to accompany him to hell, it would be a tragedy.

Having heard a lot of similar cases, Leo Cohen didn't think he was qualified, and let the big guys behind him take their lives to save him.

"Don't worry, Sir Ryders, I won't cause you any trouble. But the situation here is a bit complicated. I'm afraid I can't stand it with my small body. See if you can help me and say hello."

There is no way, I can't go out for a while, so I can only find a way to make myself feel better.

Ryders smiled and said: "No problem, we will handle it. Mr. Leo, if you need anything, you can tell the prison guard directly, as long as it can be satisfied, we will provide it."

When the brief visit ended, Ryders breathed a sigh of relief. It's good if you don't talk nonsense, otherwise, if the problem is exposed, they really may not be able to hold it back.

After hesitating again and again, Ryders made a decision in his heart: "This Leo Cohen can't stay."
