"Do you still remember the central economic crisis caused by the [proxy war]?" Xia Xiu stared at the ugly-looking Hughes Robin and said slowly.

Of course, Hughes Robin still remembers the great economic crisis that occurred three years ago, which was the trigger that led him to fall into darkness.

"Three years ago, the conflict between the Oletin Empire and the Youyang Alliance reached an irreconcilable point. The westward expansion of the Far Eastern Empire continued to stimulate the sensitive nerves of the Youyang Alliance. As the contradictions continued to intensify, the situation finally became the same.

We have embarked on the barbaric path of war."

Xia Xiu spoke to Hughes who was staring closely at the photo.

[Proxy War], this is a high-intensity war that has not ended yet. The sixteen small countries of Vaxak, located between the Oletin Empire and the Central Alliance, were forced to get involved in the struggle between the two superpowers.

In order to cope with Oletin's westward expansion, the sixteen countries formed the Oaxak Alliance, and Youyang stood behind it to provide military support for the Oakak Alliance; the Oletin Empire issued a [land reclamation order] to allow its subordinates to [

Mobile City] The lords let their hands and feet go to open up wasteland, and the area they opened up was the Oaxac region.

Neither side is fighting openly, so this war is just a war between [agents]. Of course, civilians don't know much about the inside story.

They will not know about Oletin's terrifying [Mobile City], nor will they know that the technological conflict between Daeva and Edici was caused by extraordinary technology. They can know only one thing - there is a war in their neighboring countries.

, this is an interesting topic.

What is embarrassing is that as the central government continues to allocate funds to the Waxak Alliance, their own finances are also in deficit, and the trade war between the Daevite Empire in the north and the Edici Federation in the far west has intensified.

Due to the economic crisis in Youyang and the situation in the Oaxak region, Youyang's annual economic losses reached more than 800 billion.

"A large number of companies went bankrupt, there were massive layoffs, a large number of workers were unemployed, and the economic losses were serious. At that time, you and your wife were living in a very tight life, no, it should be said that they were living in embarrassment." The voice-over tone of the blond young man made Hugh

Si thought of that period of time that he always wanted to forget.

The salary offered by the streetcar company where Hughes worked at the time could no longer afford the entire family.

At that time, a 10-yuan note could buy 5 pounds of bread, and what he spent on eating was only a 10-yuan note. However, the waiter in the bakery was always clumsy and cut out more than 5 pounds of bread. At that time, she always

Will say 'Sir, you wouldn't mind giving me an extra two cents'.

Hughes was horrified when he thought that he might have to pay two cents more, and he could only admit that he could not afford it. The next time he went to the bakery, he would have to hesitate for several hours.

Dare to go in.

He went to the fruit and vegetable store and spent one central coin to buy a kilogram of potatoes. But one of the coins in the pile was missing a dime, and the clerk refused to take it. He could only leave the store in despair, with no shame to go back in again.

Hughes realized what hunger is. At first, you will feel a siphoning hole in your abdomen. At that time, you will feel weak. After a while, you will feel your knees starting to weaken due to hunger.

Only when you are hungry can you experience the dilemma of weak knees.

In order not to starve, Hughes would start selling everything around him, starting with clothes. The hat he bought for more than 20 yuan was almost brand new. When sold, it was only worth five yuan, while a pair of good shoes

It's only worth 10 central coins, and the shirt is only one central coin.

Poverty weighed down Hughes so much that he couldn't hold his head up, and at such a bad time, the rent was even more like a life-threatening candle. He could only watch the candle keep burning, and there was really nothing he could do.

And whenever this happens, his wife will always comfort him. She will say that if he works harder, maybe things will get better soon.

No, it won't get better.

Hughes always contradicted his wife angrily.

Poverty is not a depression, which cannot be climbed out through hard work; poverty is an abyss, which will not fall to the ground until death.

His wife would always give in gently at this time, but this would only make him more irritable.

Hughes Robin always believed that he was extraordinary in his heart. He was just like most arrogant and stupid people.

Hughes wears a mask on the outside. He appears to be a kind-hearted and helpful poor clerk, but at the same time, there is another mask buried deep in his heart. That is a person with a gloomy personality, withdrawn, and sometimes...

Even indifferent and insensitive to the point of being a beast mask with no humanity.

Triggering this mask requires an opportunity. A barren life is the trigger, and the fuse is the photo in front of me.

The photo shows a woman wearing a black dress and heavy makeup. The woman's outfit is too revealing. The woman is only in her early twenties.

"Jenny Aviva, a poor person at the end of Swallow Lane, there is an underground kiln dedicated to the sex trade. Most of the "commodities" in it are unmanned farm girls who were raised by their parents.

Sold there."

The raindrops were dripping down outside the rain shelter, and an icy chill filled the entire pavilion. The blond young man narrowed his eyes slightly and continued to speak.

"It wasn't until a year ago that the Stockholm police took it away, and most of the girls inside were left delirious because of the inhuman torture they endured."

Hughes Robin stared hard at that kind of picture.

Yes, the end of Swallow Alley is the place that inspires his inner beast.

Hughes still remembers that day when he was dragged by a skinny old woman to the entrance of a narrow and remote alley. There was only a gas street light at the end of the alley. The cracks in the stones were covered with black mud, and next to them were

The high walls of a convent.

The old woman stared at her briefcase like a vulture, where she kept her newly paid salary.

"200 central coins, sir, as long as 200 central coins, you can go down to the cellar inside and do whatever you want. I can't see anything, hear nothing, and know nothing. You can do whatever you want, you know

- you can do whatever you want."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! At that time, Hughes accidentally handed the 200 central coins he handed over to the old woman, and then he walked into the underground passage unconsciously. It was very dark inside, with only

A kerosene lamp illuminated a small area of ​​​​a plaster wall, and the rest of the wall seemed even darker. Apart from that, he could see nothing and smelled only rats and dust.

Hughes was taken into a bedroom, a spacious and gorgeous bedroom, painted pink from ceiling to floor, and his vision was eroded by this ambiguous and confusing color.

There is an ambiguous pink color everywhere, which is tempting, but makes people feel unreal. The pink color is so heavy and suffocating, as if the light is shining from a glass bowl filled with blood.

There was a large square bed in the corner of the bedroom with a pink bedding. There was a girl lying on it, wearing a white velvet skirt. When she saw Hughes coming in, she huddled up and tried to hide her knees under her shorts.

underneath the skirt.

"Guest, you just need to remember not to break her. We will do whatever else you want." After saying this, the old woman left.

Hughes swallowed, and walked forward slowly, and then the pace became faster and faster. He stepped to the bedside in one step. The girl subconsciously screamed in fear. The other party tried to avoid him, but his veins were bulging.

He grabbed her throat, and she struggled desperately and started to beg for mercy loudly, but he pinched her tightly, pulled her head back, and looked down at her face.

Fearful and desperate.

Violence - this is called violence!

That trembling feeling, half of it was fear and the other half was joy, flowing through Hughes's body at that time, because he could vent his unhappiness, have the power to be superior to others, and control people and everything in the world, so he would never have worries.

, exciting and refreshing yet "guilt-free"!!!

Hughes went crazy at that moment.

How poor and disappointing are human joys!

A second of ecstasy made Hughes Robin so intoxicated that he loved this feeling.

"For the bastards at Yanzi Alley, those girls are precious "commodities." If anyone wants to kill them, there are only two ways to do it - either be poured into cement and sink into the sea, or pay a high sum of money.

cost."

The cold words woke Hughes Robin out of his trance, and he saw the blond young man continue to take out documents one by one and put them in front of him.

These documents were specially obtained by Xia Xiu from the Stockholm Police Station. They contain a list of black transactions at Yanzi Alley.

"Hughes Robin, it was you who killed Jenny Aviva, and the Mr. K in the list of 1,000 central currency damages paid by Mr. K is you. What's interesting is that on the same date of this list

There was another order during the same time period, which was a loan sharking contract, signed by none other than Hughes Robin."

The blond young man continued to point to the loan in the usury contract with a sneer on his face: 20,000.

"You actually chose to borrow a total of 20,000 yuan from those bastards at usury, but the more interesting things will happen later."

Xia Xiu took out the information he had obtained from different insurance companies and placed them one by one in front of the gloomy-looking Hughes Robin.

"You chose to use this money to buy multiple high-value personal accident insurance policies, or buy them in your wife's name."

Looking at Hughes Robin who clenched his fists and had a ferocious gaze like a beast, the blond young man continued to unhurriedly take out the report he had received from the hospital.

"This is Ms. Lina's medical record after you bought insurance for your wife."

"In the first month, she had a high fever, but you refused your wife's request to go to the hospital on the grounds that you couldn't afford the medical expenses; but your wife was lucky. One of her friends happened to be there when you were out working.

When I visited your home, my friend immediately sent Ms. Lina to the hospital for treatment after discovering her condition."

"You were also scolded by that friend, so for the sake of your own reputation, you didn't dare to do such unusual and strange behavior again, so your subsequent methods became more secretive."

"Look, after this, your wife suddenly got diarrhea again. Of the three diarrhea, two were extremely mild and did not require much rest, but one was more or less serious and she seemed to have been lying down for a day or two.

"

"However, you also know that your wife is not a fool. Frequent illness will arouse her suspicion, so you thought of a wonderful and wonderful way."

Xia Xiu once again took out the engineering report he had received from the rail bus company and placed it on the bench in front of Hughes.

"At that time, the Stockholm government allocated a sum of money for track repair and reconstruction to the tram company, which was used to repair old tracks. However, Primo, the head of the company at the time, used his position to enrich himself and embezzled part of it.

Money.”

"Primo is a veteran. He is an expert at cutting corners. In his expectation, even if he embezzles part of the money, it will be enough to repair a relatively safe track."

"As an employee of the track company, you were quickly aware of Primo's irregularities, and you therefore came up with a way to kill someone without soiling your own hands. You chose to kill someone on line 101 where your wife often works.

There was some manipulation on the track.”

"In order to clear away the responsibility after the accident, you chose to resign after making sure that your hands and feet would not be discovered."
