Snowflakes are falling slowly, and there are fewer and fewer pedestrians in the street. Even on the busiest dawn Avenue, many shops choose to close during the winter break. Occasionally pedestrians are in a hurry. The damn cold weather is really uncomfortable. Perhaps the biggest wish of these passers-by at this time is to cover the roadside with blankets, drink hot coffee and read a book they like?
This weather is really not suitable for work. The owner of the coffee shop has made plans to temporarily close down. He pounded the snow off the umbrella with a wooden stick, and then closed all the umbrellas. If Mr. Dooling hadn''t appeared on time every morning, he wouldn''t have opened the door this morning. He thought he might be a little silly. How could a character like Mr. durin braved the wind and snow to drink a cup of coffee and eat a burrito?
He put the stick away and frowned as he packed his things. The man''s death was finally "strange" to him. The court held that he should bear part of the responsibility for the death of the man. If he did not abuse the man''s labor force for a long time and with high intensity, it would not cause the man to fire because he was too tired. To this end, the court ordered him to give 800 yuan to his family.
To be honest, let alone 800 yuan, he was unwilling to give 80 yuan, but if he continued to fight the lawsuit, he could only continue to waste money. He could only recognize it by holding his nose. Perhaps it was because of this lawsuit that he became famous. So far, no one is willing to apply for a job. He can only do it by himself.
Just after he checked all the dangerous things and was ready to close the door, a car slowly stopped by the side of the road. The silver white body was more bright in the snow. He acted manually, immediately put the coffee pot back on the stove and turned on the switch. He hurried outside, held up a sunshade and wiped the snowflakes on the table and on the chair.
Du Lin got out of the car in a thick windbreaker, hat and scarf. He glanced at the coffee shop with the lights off and smiled apologetically, "sorry, it affects your rest."
The boss waved and repeated "no", then went back to the kitchen and began to make rolls for Mr. durin. As he did it, he sighed that this is the real rich man. He is really different from those upstarts who don''t know how to show off when they have a little money. No matter when and where, Mr. durin has a good temper, is polite to people, and never does anything impolite.
It''s really hard to imagine that such a person is one of the richest young people in illian.
Perhaps this is what those rich people often say!
The boss quickly made the rolls and brought them to Mr. Doolin''s table with coffee. Doolin smiled and handed him five yuan. The boss accepted them with some embarrassment. This is not the first time, and certainly not the last time. He is a little embarrassed every time. In his opinion, Mr. durin''s ability to sit here for a while every day, drink a cup of coffee and eat something is actually an alternative kind of publicity.
Not only does he not need to pay, but even his boss should provide coffee and food free of charge.
Soon, the newsboy appeared in Turin''s sight against the wind and snow. He took the heat, rubbed his hands, spread out a roll of newspaper and put it on the table. Dooling tucked a dollar note into the newsboy''s hat. The little guy smiled and asked, and then ran away. Although it snowed, the newspaper needed to be delivered.
Du Lin looked through the latest issue of the newspaper, which reported the latest news of the "century fraud". It has to be said that the press release syndicate in the hands of the George family is really good at writing these news. Originally, it was just a fraud involving a slightly "large" amount of money. Leng Shengsheng was prefixed with such an appalling prefix as "century", which attracted the attention of the whole empire. Even the news media on the federal side are tracking and reporting this matter, which is said to have triggered and exposed some scandals there.
The report clearly revealed some information. Both public opinion and the high-level imperial government were impatient with the efficiency of the task force. It''s been almost two months. Up to now, there''s no progress. They haven''t even found a penny. Some people are beginning to be anxious. The report seems to be defending and explaining the task force, but it is actually constantly stimulating those victims.
Durin took a sip of coffee. He put down the newspaper, looked at the gray distant sky and calculated the time. It was almost time for them to come.
After all, this is a fraud case of more than 70 million. We always have to make a final effort, don''t we?
As Dooling thought, there has been no breakthrough so far. There have been some anxious and restless people in the task force. No way, people''s opinions and public opinion have put too much pressure on them. Those pervasive journalists don''t know where to get their identity information and even publish it. This has caused many task force members to be harassed, including those victims.
They call all day to inquire about the progress of the case, and some people scold with their mouths open. Some team members have written transfer reports and are ready to leave here at any time.
In this case, if ANP knows that he is waiting, it may cause more trouble, and even let the senior management directly use Waldock as the end of the case and completely close the case.
ANP, who has never failed, will not be willing to return without success. He discussed with Clark and decided to go to illian. The reason he used was that the important personnel involved in Juan''s suicide were in doubt. They wanted to investigate whether someone was manipulating something behind Juan''s suicide.
The increasingly impatient upper authorities immediately approved their opinions, but also gave them a deadline. If there is no further progress and clue within a month, this matter will be over.
Just like Dooling''s plan for the whole case, they plan to block everyone''s mouth with Waldock. As for when they can recover the investors'' funds in the stock market, it''s another matter. Find someone to push the case first.
So ANP and Clark, as well as the five team members, immediately set out and arrived at illian in a sea boat in the heavy snow.
The ship slowly drew ashore, and there were no people getting off the ship except them. Most of the people on the ship went to a warm place in the south for the winter. This is not their destination. ANP and other entourage walked down the gangway here. There was no pedestrian in the cold street. The whole city seemed to be asleep, and there was no anger at all. The shops on both sides of the street are also closed, which is a common thing during the winter break, but it is too cold for the Anpu people who come here.
"I remember... Didn''t I say illian is one of the most prosperous cities on the east coast?" Clark walked down the last step with a heavy suitcase. He looked at the city as if it was uninhabited and was a little confused. "I think even the west is more crowded than here."
Amber smiled, put on his hat and walked to dawn Avenue. As he walked, he said, "Because the temperature here changes greatly in winter and there is often snow, there are no tourists after winter. Tourism is a pillar industry of the local economy. It is normal to temporarily close the core area of the city after losing tourists. If you want to see people, go to the back area, the fourth and fifth areas, where there are still many people on the streets."
"You know so much!" Clark complimented.
ANP didn''t respond. When they came to Liming Avenue, ANP was still sharp eyed. He immediately saw the only small shop on the side of the road. He pointed to the other side, "let''s get something hot to warm our stomach first, and then go to the hotel. At this time, the hotel probably didn''t prepare anything. It''s still some time before noon." , he raised his wrist and stroked up his sleeve with his red frozen hand, revealing a watch.
"It''s four hours before lunch time. Even if we find a hotel now, I''m afraid they haven''t prepared breakfast for us."
Naturally, there is no disagreement with ANP''s proposal. If you can drink a cup of hot coffee or milk and eat some newly cooked food in such a cold weather, I''m afraid it''s the most enjoyable thing.
A new guest greeted him, which made the coffee shop owner have to turn on all the electricity again. When he went out, he suddenly had a lot of smiles on his face. Seven people can make him at least ten yuan, and it''s really surprising in such weather.
These people divided into two groups and asked for two tables. When they looked at Turin curiously, a strange man who came out for "recreation" in snowy days, Turin was also looking at them.
ANP''s eyes always focused on Turin''s face. Turin gave him a very strange feeling. He seemed to have seen Turin somewhere, but he didn''t remember. When he noticed that Turin was also looking at him, he smiled and nodded, and Turin nodded to him.
"Do you know?" Clark whispered.
ANP shook his head slightly and looked at other places. "I don''t know. I just feel a little strange. His temperament is very unique."
Clark also glanced at Dooling and nodded to each other when their eyes touched.
"I don''t think there''s anything wrong with him. Maybe he''s rich. You know, rich people just like to make trouble!" when saying this, Clark didn''t forget to look at the luxury car parked on the roadside. Even in DIDU, no one can afford to drive such a luxury car.
In his eyes, it''s normal for these rich people to be different. Even if they run out without clothes, he won''t be surprised. After all, they are rich!
