Chapter 632
"It seems like it was many years ago since we last met."
Officer Braden's face was full of smiles, because the man in front of him was his best friend in high school, and also considered half a neighbor.
That was not a day worth remembering, a poor family and a terrible community, but it was precisely because of this that Officer Braden had the desire to struggle.
He had a good friend and good classmate, David.
Two people of the same class, the same living environment, facing roughly the same environment, they had different choices.
Officer Braden thought that becoming a policeman could change the situation where he was often bullied. At least attacking the police is a serious crime in the Federation!
As long as he put on that police skin, if someone really wanted to bully him, he also had a sufficiently suitable reason to shoot and kill the other party directly.
Different from his idea was David. David thought that the best way not to be bullied was to become the person who bullied others, not the one who was bullied.
After graduating from high school, both of them quickly found their goals. Federal police are not considered a generous job, not even civil servants, and can only be said to be the bottom layer of government law enforcement departments.
Plus the dangerous environment, it was easy for him to become a policeman.
Then he separated from David.
David went to the western region of Liklai State, saying that his uncle worked there. Later, he heard that David joined the Holy Bell Party, and gradually there was no news.
The Holy Bell Party does not have a good reputation in Liklai State or even the entire Federation. Extreme conservative radical gang is their label, and there is also the handbell they will leave at the scene when they ritually execute someone.
In short, they are considered a notorious gang, but in the eyes of extreme conservative farmers, they are as simple as little angels.
One is a notorious gang member, one is a small patrolman who is not very famous in Jingang City, and the relationship between the two sides was cut off.
Although sometimes Braden could hear some rumors related to David, especially in recent years, they never had any contact.
Now seeing David appear at the door, besides surprise, there were also some deeply hidden doubts in his heart!
He walked over and hugged David. At this time, David behaved like a gentle normal person.
This is also a significant feature of the Holy Bell Party. If you are a typical Federal person, they are so harmless that you feel that speaking loudly is an impolite behavior!
"Sometimes I dream of you, and there are many things I want to say to you, but now that I see you, I don't know what to say instead!"
Officer Braden let go of David, then took two steps back, and looked at this childhood best friend again, then returned to the house. "Come in, let's sit down and chat."
David did not refuse, and the two entered Officer Braden's house.
The house is not big, an old house. He had a failed marriage, maybe his bad temper made people unable to tolerate him.
Until now, he is alone.
If he has needs, he will spend money to find those girls on the street to solve the problem. For him, this is instead a kind of "enjoyment."
No need to listen to the wife's nagging, and they have a child.
He can choose those young girls to his heart's content, without having to wrong himself for this.
Perfect life.
David looked at Officer Braden with a smile. "You haven't changed since the past, except for the beard..."
The two chatted about many things, since they separated, but many things were not discussed so deeply.
For example, David only told Officer Braden that he joined the Holy Bell Party, but didn't say how he joined.
After all, this kind of relatively extreme gang is not so easy to join.
Officer Braden didn't ask either.
After the two understood each other's past after separation, they were all a bit sighing.
Talking and talking, the topic of reminiscing ended naturally, and Officer Braden also knew that the real theme was coming.
"I want to ask about something." David used relatively implicit wording.
Officer Braden did not refuse. He nodded. "As long as it is what I know."
"Lanse, that Lanse White, is he really a Federal person?"
"I always feel that he doesn't look like a Federal person, but more like an immigrant, and I also heard some rumors saying that he is actually an illegal immigrant from the Empire."
"I heard that you have been helping people handle naturalization in Jingang City, so I thought maybe you could know something."
Officer Braden was just stunned for a very short time, and was captured by David.
If David came to ask him this question two years ago, he would definitely tell the truth.
But now, he can't say it, because the entire police station is eating the dividends of the Lanse family.
The police station issued a salary to people, and the Lanse family issued another salary to them. At the same time, they have any urgent need for money, or got any disease that requires huge medical expenses, Lanse's foundation will pay this money. Some are interest-free loans, they can repay for a lifetime, which is equal to giving it to them.
Some are directly gifts, assistance, and don't even need to be repaid.
Under such circumstances, whoever deals with Lanse is against the entire Jingang City police force.
Officer Braden, although also a Federal supremacist, is not extreme.
"I don't know very well." He finally decided to lie. He looked into David's eyes without any avoidance, so he wouldn't look guilty.
But he didn't know that in the very short moment he hesitated, David had already guessed the answer.
At this time, he patted Officer Braden's arm. "It doesn't matter, I'm just curious, after all, such a young person, I want to know if he has any special background."
After he finished speaking, he skipped this topic and chatted about other things.
Not long after, he got up to say goodbye, the reason being that he was carrying a mission.
After Officer Braden sent him to the door, he watched him get into a luxury car and leave his sight under the protection of two other cars.
He stood at the door and smoked a cigarette. The deep friendship in his youth and the friendship of helping each other forward did not change his determination.
【Content error: ignore this line】
He quickly threw the cigarette butt on the ground, stepped on it hard with the tip of his crocodile leather shoes, then returned to the room and dialed that very special number.
"Lanse, David... that guy from the Holy Bell Party, asked me about some news about you..."
"... We used to be neighbors and classmates. I didn't know he actually joined the Holy Bell Party. I didn't say anything..."
"Good, good, I know, just like this."
He hung up the phone, and suddenly the pressure David had exerted on him when he visited disappeared.
Since you disappeared for more than twenty years, don't come back into my life again!
Officer Braden picked up the wide-brimmed police hat and put it on his head, took a piece of chewing gum from his pocket and stuffed it into his mouth, put one hand on the holster, and left the room.
On the other side, after David returned to the villa of the Holy Bell Party in Jingang City, he reported his guess to the upper level of the Holy Bell Party.
"... I found my friend to ask about this. His hesitation told me that Lanse White is a cunning immigrant. He used some methods to deceive people."
"He has dirty mixed blood flowing in his body. He should not be allowed to enter God's sheepfold!"
At this time, David showed a very special fanaticism, religious fanaticism.
That set of theories of the Holy Bell Party has a very efficient brainwashing ability for young people who have not received higher education.
They tell young people that all your misfortunes are because those low-blooded bastards destroyed your lives.
What kind of people can participate in the Holy Bell Party?
Farmers, cowboys, robbers who are not satisfied with life, and descendants of slave-killing teams with hands full of blood. They lost hope in life, but are unwilling to admit that the unpleasantness of life is because of their own incompetence.
The appearance of the Holy Bell Party helped them find reasons and excuses to vent their anger on others, so they don't have to bear the fact that they are incompetent losers, and think that everything is the bad influence imposed on them by others except these people.
Actually, for the true high-level and ruling group of the Holy Bell Party, they are very rational, because they know very well that the Holy Bell Party, or any propaganda means or other things, its core purpose is for them to obtain more wealth, status, influence, and power.
So when David said these things he found out, the attention of the high-level of the Holy Bell Party on the other end of the phone was placed on another thing.
"You mean, Lanse White personally admitted that the smuggling alcohol market in Jingang City has a scale of two hundred million?"
His tone was full of surprise, and there was a trace of doubt.
Although David felt that the attention of this religious believer was in the wrong place, he still followed the strict class system between superiors and subordinates and answered the other party's question. "Yes, Lanse personally admitted, and he thinks that in the next few years, this market will continue to expand."
There was no sound in the receiver, but the gradually thickened and heavy breathing within ten seconds made him know that the religious believer was still on the other side.
"The damn pagan stole the fruit belonging to God. David, we must take back God's pasture and clear these bastards out of it!"
"You did a good job. You brought back very important news. We found out his true face, and we will discuss how to deal with him."
"As for his alliance or something, you can ignore it."
"Our attitude has always been very firm, that is, absolutely not to stay with the bastards!"
"You rest well for a few days, wait for my news."
David agreed with satisfaction. This is right. This is the true shepherd of God. He felt a sense of mission. He is willing to dedicate everything to God!
He hung up the phone, sat on the sofa for a while, then got up, took a subordinate who looked a bit delicate, and came to the prayer room.
He wants to repent to God, because he did something wrong again...
