Chapter 1330 Selection
Various artists express the complexity and unpredictability of human beings through various forms, and human beings themselves often become elements used to metaphors for certain works of art.
So how complicated and unpredictable is this thing?
To make it clear, it is actually very simple. For example, many people actually think that this is fake when they first heard that Holmes might be the main cause of Bovas falling downstairs.
He has no need for this. Purpose, or motivation, in criminal acts, is often one of the criteria for anchoring the suspect and filing a case.
In layman's terms, it is "why did he do this" and "what benefits will he bring to him" and the motivation is higher than that of the investigators in the investigation of cases!
In some very classic court debates in the past, the defense of criminal cases that subverted the final ruling by "lack of necessary motivation" as the counterattack point has occurred more than once. Compared with indifferent physical evidence and possible fraudulent evidence, the establishment of motivation can make people have a first impact more clearly and intuitively, whether the defendant may do so.
When Bowos talked about these things, everyone knew that Holmes' motivation was insufficient, and he did not need to hurt Bowos. There was no conflict of interest between them, and hurting Bowos would not bring him any benefits.
Yes, the inability to work for Bovas would leave the New Party Committee with a position as vice-chairman, which seemed to satisfy Holmes' motivation to do so - to become the New Party Vice-chairman?
At the same time, the rumors that are circulating also portray Holmes as a treacherous and traitor, and it seems that he has more reason to do so.
But people who can learn more are very clear that these do not exist, and it is entirely because someone wants to discredit Holmes.
Whether it is the first motivation or the second motivation, it is pure nonsense. Compared to hurting Bovas, the benefits brought by these motivations are too small and insignificant, and not worth doing by someone like Holmes.
Then, naturally, this is a lie and a scam. Everyone can confirm with great confidence that this is a splash of dirty water.
But when people know that this is what Bovas said, they will begin to question their previous accurate judgment. After all, as one of the parties involved, there is no need to throw dirty water on others.
His motive for slandering Holmes in this way was unclear, and the two had no enemies before. Perhaps... what he was telling the truth was that he had no reason to frame Holmes.
As the situation develops further in the process, these people may return to their original positions and persist less firmly, while others will completely turn to the other side. All this is a conspiracy.
So people are always complex and unpredictable. Dulin makes good use of this, and nothing is more authoritative and shocking than Holmes's personal words.
Even if there are not many people who believe it, at least the media will promote it. Then the cute and easily bewitched society's bottom members will believe it and set off a frenzy of public opinion.
Holmes has fully understood Dulin's series of punches. Of course, even if he understands it, he can't do it or not.
If you know how to do something clearly, you will not be upset that you will have to slap yourself in the mouth after you win.
Holmes now faces two options: retaining his strength or fighting Dulin.
The mayors of several important industrial cities in Woodland State were semi-publicly investigated by the Imperial National Security Council, and the Imperial State Administration of Taxation sent a special commissioner to start checking Woodland State taxes, all of which indicates that Dulin was tracing his way out.
Woodland State is where Holmes started, and this place is so important that he will have nothing if he loses Woodland State.
This is not a joke. The power he holds now, his status and reputation in society, the cohesion of his own small gang, and more powers that can be linked to him, all come from his current identity, the governor of Woodland State.
This state is all his foundation, and the consequences will be unimaginable if it is lost.
But if he wants to keep these things, he must let go of the competition that he had been planning for a long time, and he is unwilling to accept it.
Just as he was in a fierce ideological struggle, Du Lin did not stop. The combination of punches was far from over. This time he did not come forward in person, but called the police.
He claimed that when he passed by Holmes' manor in the imperial capital, he found a young lady asking for help from a window in the manor. Based on justice and responsibility, he called the police call. Of course, in order to ensure that his safety is not violated, he chose to hide his name and only used "social kind-hearted person" as the end of the final inquiry for the call.
The Imperial Capital Police Station was also very confused after receiving the report. They had found out whose house they were at their destination and what was going on there.
The Chief of the Imperial Capital Police Department is not a particularly high-ranking position, but its nature is very special. The current Chief of the Imperial Capital Police Department is Kubar's confidant. About a few minutes after receiving the report, he called Kubar.
On the phone, he explained these issues, including what he was worried about - whether the old party would get involved in the struggle within the new party.
Everyone was happy that Holmes and Doolin biting dogs. Such a bustle had never happened before and was unlikely to happen in the future. It would be even better if the conflict between these two people could cause the new party to split.
Kubar's attitude towards this was very special and firm. He applied Dulin's words - everyone is equal before the law.
The police chief then immediately asked some of the thorns and a calm deputy chief in the bureau, and asked them to drive to Holmes' estate to investigate the illegal behavior reported by the whistleblower.
At this time, the manor was still crowded. Before the reporters who had arrived had left, another group of reporters came again, and even several interview cars and live broadcast cars appeared.
An enthusiastic social group called major newspapers and channel offices under limited television groups, claiming that the police were about to take compulsory actions to enter Holmes' manor to save Dulin's ex-girlfriend who was kidnapped by Holmes.
This news is so explosive. Even though many reporters realize something, they still cannot stop them from wanting to get first-hand information!
Holmes, who knew the news, realized that from yesterday to today, it was definitely not the beginning of the war between him and Dulin, but had entered a white-hot process and he had lagged behind Dulin.
After thinking about it, he said to the butler on the phone, "Drag a little while, don't let them see Paula and Ms. Melissa, find a place to hide them first, and get through the current difficulties."
The housekeeper hung up the phone after answering twice. Holmes put down the receiver and clenched his fists under his nose. Dulin's continuous force made him exhausted, and he knew that he had lost.
He even struggled to resist, let alone counterattack.
At this time, Melissa was watching TV with her daughter. According to Holmes' original plan, they should meet the media in the next few days and the Dulin scandal broke out.
But because Dulin's first move has made the two women who should have become his fatal weaknesses, the burning slag in Holmes's hands.
Holding it in your hands... there are reporters outside, and there is no way to leave at all, but not letting them go is also a problem. Now this trouble is being detonated.
Melissa was stunned for a moment when she watched the TV. She placed her daughter on the bed, walked to the window and looked down. Outside the manor, seven or eight police officers stopped at the door. The police were communicating with the people in the manor. The reporters had already lost the gate.
Before she could think too much, the door of the room was opened from outside while it was knocked.
The butler stood outside the door with a cold face, with a serious face not shorter than a horse's face, like a mule that had not been able to defecate normally for several days. The corners of his mouth fell down, giving people an intuitive feeling that it was unreasonable and difficult to speak.
"Ladies, we have some troubles. In order to avoid escalating these troubles, we have to invite you to stay in the wine cellar for a while." He was not asking for advice from Melissa and others. After saying that, he took a step back, and the two bodyguards standing behind him squeezed into the room, one standing by the bed and the other standing behind Melissa.
"Please...ma...." After the housekeeper said that, he made way. A bodyguard wanted to pick up the child, but Melissa pushed him away.
She held the child in her arms, glared at the two of them, followed silently behind the housekeeper and left the room, walked down the stairs, and walked into the wine cellar.
In the wine cellar, she saw Paula.
Paula was not surprised by Melissa's arrival. She was smarter than Melissa and had more contact with things. She already knew what was going on.
The two looked at each other without saying a word, and the housekeeper was very satisfied with it. He nodded, "Next, I hope the two ladies can keep quiet..." He glanced at the child in Melissa's arms, "Including this cute little girl, we don't want anything terrible to happen, so you'd better understand and understand what I'm talking about."
"After this matter is over, I will ask you to leave and officially apologize. I hope there will be no misunderstandings between us during the last period of time. So see you later, ladies!" The butler bowed slightly behind and left. Although he looked like a qualified gentleman, he was just a bastard.
Although the housekeeper left, there was a bodyguard in the wine cellar watching them to avoid these women being ignorant and blindly arrogant and wanting to do something stupid.
Of course, although someone was watching them, it did not prevent them from talking. Apart from that dinner, there was not much relief between them, which also made them very curious about each other.
Paula has been paying attention to the little girl in Melissa's arms, with black hair and cute appearance, and there are indeed deep traces of Guarte on her.
"She is very cute and quiet, just like you!" This sentence is not something Paula said nicely. The little girl has never made trouble yet, and she is very quiet.
The child over two years old is the most naughty time. Paula knows very well that her sister's children are very noisy.
Moreover, this has nothing to do with boys and girls. As we all know, under ten years old and after sixty, no gender is distinguished.
She asked again, "What's her name?"
Melissa looked at Paula and said softly: "Alella..."
"A good name..." Paula nodded and catered to her. In fact, she didn't think the name was so good, it was not cool at all, and it was a bit difficult to pronounce.
Suddenly, her brows frowned slightly, and she seemed to have heard of the name somewhere, but she couldn't remember it for a while.
Alella is actually the name of the Watch Goddess in the Guarte God system. During her time in love with Dulin, she had some stories about the Guarte tradition.
Unlike other girls, others may have a very rich, powerful, very status and even very fashionable impression of Dulin. But Melissa always has a feeling that Dulin is actually a very serious and traditional person, but what he shows is completely different from what he hides.
In order to please Dulin, she has made many ancient and traditional things, although these things are useless to her now.
While the two were about to continue saying something, the bodyguard suddenly made a sound ban. A few seconds later, there were continuous footsteps above their heads, and the noise could be heard faintly through the ventilation vents.
The two girls looked at each other and saw something special from each other's eyes.
The policemen upstairs carefully searched all the rooms in the manor, including the master bedroom and study, accompanied by the butler with an ugly face. Instead of entering the room, they stood outside the room and directed the butler to push a movable half-finger mirror, moving back and forth in the room, adjusting the angle, and using the principle of reflection to check these two special places.
The manor is very big, but fortunately there were a lot of people this time, and some reporters were temporarily recruited, and it took more than an hour to check all the places on the villa ground.
At this time, there was a hint of arrogance and contempt on the butler's face, "I look forward to your director's expression when explaining this to my master, gentlemen!"
The two policemen were about to attack, and the deputy director who led the team coughed and asked softly, "Where are the entrances such as cellars, basements, and underground storage rooms?"
The butler looked at the deputy director a few times, and the atmosphere became a little nervous. After about twenty seconds, he snorted softly, "Please come with me, gentlemen, but I need to remind you that there are many works of art in the basement. You can't all of you go in, you can only go in no more than five people..."
