Chapter 586: Hawk-Eating
Qin stayed outside for a while, flipped through the files, and then was very angry.
"It's just stupid. He was so easily fooled by a few street thugs."
Qin was very angry. This cousin was really confused.
Looking smart, but actually stupid.
The elite education he received was useless in the face of this situation.
In short, he was still too young.
Claire also read the files, so she comforted Qin and said, "Don't get angry. There are also cunning people in the market. It's normal for cousin Franz to be deceived because he has no experience.
Earn a lesson, he will never make a mistake next time."
Claire was not speaking for Franz, but the son of an aristocrat was not omnipotent. He always had to fall a few times before he could mature.
In a sense, Franz was also Qin's mirror. Seeing Franz fall, Qin could learn a lesson.
Qin took a deep breath and was not so angry.
Although he usually performed poorly, after coming in, Franz actually withstood the pressure.
If a person is a little stupid and is deceived, it is a problem of ability.
Loyalty or not is a problem of attitude.
If the ability is poor, it can still be used.
If there is a problem with loyalty, then it is over.
"Let him suffer a little more!"
Qin was still a little angry. Anyway, according to the plan, he was supposed to temper Franz's temper.
It is not easy to find an actor of the level of Count Jeffreys, and even Qin can't order him around at will.
Since the Count was asked to come out, he naturally had to act out the whole play.
The two were about to leave when Old Tom, who had been observing secretly, suddenly came out.
"Miss Claire, Mr. Charlie."
Old Tom greeted very politely. In fact, there was no special relationship between the two.
But he was very grateful that the other party could help him.
As for the issue of standing in the team, only people with a background like Franz have the power to choose, and people like him do not have the power to choose the team.
He is qualified to work hard for whichever boss takes a fancy to him, and there is no chance to jump back and forth at all.
Qin was a little surprised, but it was obvious that Old Tom was willing to come out at this time.
That little bit of fate was only enough to help him by the way, but Old Tom took the initiative, which was interesting.
Qin stopped and asked: "Sheriff Tom, you participated in today's event, what do you think?"
Old Tom said without hesitation: "My opinion is not important, what is important is what you think."
Franz needs loyalty, but Old Tom doesn't.
A small deputy director of the local police department is not qualified to offer loyalty to the crown prince.
Qin just nodded, he did not give a positive response, just said: "It's useless to say, I want to see what you do, find a way to make the people inside speak without torturing, and I will give you another chance."
Old Tom agreed excitedly, he felt that this task was promising.
The noble young man inside may not be able to withstand the tricks of the police department.
...
Qin and Claire walked out of the police department. They were originally very relaxed during the weekend, but now they are nervous again.
He carefully read the case file just now, and the darkness of the world is indeed beyond imagination.
"Senior, what do you think of this world? Why is it so chaotic?"
Before leaving the palace, he thought the world was peaceful, with voices praising merits and virtues, and the people lived and worked in peace.
But in fact, no matter what he experienced or what he saw and heard, there was an indelible gap between reality and ideal.
"In fact, this world is already very good," Claire answered him in a different direction: "Twenty years ago, you couldn't go out alone at night like this. Every winter, a large number of poor people starved to death, and there were wars in the north almost every year.
At that time, it was called hell. What you see now is already heaven.
It's just that heaven is not perfect yet, so we need to work hard.
Your father is a great hero. He opened up a new era and worked hard to eliminate all injustices.
But this is not something that can be accomplished by one generation, Qin...your mission may be to take over the scepter, continue this paradise, and erase these darkness."
Claire drank a bowl of chicken soup, and Qin regained his fighting spirit.
Yes! It is precisely because there is still darkness that his efforts are valuable.
My father pulled thousands of people out of the dark ages, and I will bring the people of the empire into the real bright age.
This requires hard work, and even one or two generations cannot accomplish it.
"Senior sister, I have an idea. Maybe we can run a popular law newspaper to popularize the law to the people of the empire, and select some cases for analysis in the newspaper. How about it?"
Qin first proposed the idea of a newspaper. Claire thought about it and felt that it was possible to operate.
"It's a good idea, but the process may not be so smooth. This kind of newspaper may take time to accumulate readers, rather than become a hit." Claire reminded, she was afraid that Qin had too high expectations.
The law is too high-end and not a hot topic for ordinary people.
In fact, the overall quality of the civilians in the empire needs to be improved, and there is no general legal awareness. They would rather read the Times Entertainment Magazine than read the boring popular law newspaper.
Fortunately, Qin was mentally prepared. He said firmly: "This is an attempt, and I am not prepared to gain anything else."
"That's good, I will find a suitable team and start the newspaper as soon as possible." Claire promised with confidence.
With her ability, it is very easy to do this without considering the profit issue.
…
In the police station, Old Tom was full of energy.
What is Franz's identity?
Since his backer can keep him here for a long time, it is obvious that his background is stronger.
The only trouble is that he cannot use punishment.
Or rather, he cannot use obvious punishment.
After more than ten hours of waiting like a hawk, Count Jeffreys had left. He didn't have time to spend every day here.
The interrogation was taken over by Old Tom. Before leaving, Count Jeffreys ordered Franz to have a good rest and not to kill anyone.
Old Tom looked at Franz who was dragged to the detention center like a dead dog, smacked his lips and said, "What a good life!"
If it were someone else, he would have been severely punished long ago, so it is very important to be born into a good family.
"Send him to room number one and treat him well."
Of course you need to rest, but don't think it's like a vacation.
The detention center was deliberately made gloomy and damp in order to scare the prisoners.
Room No. 1 was a good place that was specially reserved. Not only was the environment first-rate, but it was also connected to the interrogation room inside the detention center.
The judicial system in Daxia was still very rudimentary, and the sheriff had great power.
It was not illegal to use severe punishment. If a serious criminal was caught, it would be okay to kill him.
Old Tom used his connections to borrow a group of serious criminals from other sheriff's offices.
These were serious criminals who were destined to be shot at, and they had to be tortured by the sheriff before going to court.
Old Tom let Franz sleep for a few hours, and then started working in the interrogation room next door.
