Chapter 93 The Puppet Show

Chapter 1025 Puppet Show

Annan raised his eyebrows slightly.

If this is Isaac's house...

He took another look at the man with the smiling mask.

And if it appeared here, the identity of the stall owner would be easy to guess.

He is probably the blood of one of Isaac's "brothers and sisters".

Isaac seemed to have guessed what Annan wanted to ask.

He whispered, "The pupils of my brothers and sisters are brown like this."

"Ok……"

Annan mused.

This is indeed somewhat beyond Annan's expectations...but it seems to be a very reasonable situation.

It is not surprising where the gambling stalls are opened. After all, it can only be regarded as a "somewhat special" pawn shop, but any place with a basement can be converted into a gambling stall.

But unlike those casinos, the gambling stalls are not for the money of the gamblers, but for the pirate gangs. Not only to deal with the captives plundered at sea, but also to lynch the enemies of the gang, or to enforce some "family law" internally.

Because of Denisaua's special system, any great noble who wants to amend the law on a large scale will be very strongly hindered. Because others cannot judge whether there is some kind of trap hidden in it, and whether this trap will interfere with their power.

It can even be said that those opinions submitted by the "member meeting" were signed by who in the "committee", and what faction these committee members belonged to, and what were their political goals--often , it is not just the content itself that depends on whether the opinion is passed or not, but these "outside things".

That made mass arrests in Denisaua impossible.

They even want to "control the crime rate".

Otherwise, the rising crime rate in this area will become evidence in the parliament for one faction to attack the other - the area under everyone's control is "calm", why did you arrest so many criminals there?

And because extraordinary people and ritual masters are rampant, crime cannot be completely stopped.

So how to reduce the crime rate?

——It's very simple, as long as the report is not accepted.

In the United Kingdom, the police will only open a case and issue a warrant if they "prove their own evidence".

And in the absence of a wanted warrant, they will only accept prisoners who surrender themselves... Even if there are enthusiastic people who capture the prisoner on the spot and escort him to the police station, as long as there is no evidence, the prisoner will go in for a walk at most.

Post bail and you're out.

There was only one exception—and that was the realm of supernatural crimes, where the police took special care.

Because Transcendents and Ritual Masters can indeed cause huge damage.

The extraordinary detectives and extraordinary police detectives in those detective stories can only do their best to investigate cases and hunt down suspects. They need to spend half a month or even several months to arrest the "leader"...and they can't even arrest too many people, otherwise it will make the "data look ugly".

The income of this job is much higher than that of ordinary police.

After all, in Denisaua, the police are "jobs." Not even the dangerous kind.

Throughout the United Kingdom, the police are accountable not to the public, but to the mayor. The mayor, as a member of the "committee", is responsible to the entire committee and commands the local "member council".

So these policemen don't want to receive the case.

Even if "the prisoner is arrested", it means that the law and order of this place will deteriorate, at least in terms of statistics. Unless they can be sure that the prisoner can be arrested and the case will not be overturned, they prefer to muddle the matter.

——When everyone is cheating, the only person who is not cheating will be targeted by everyone instead.

Therefore, urban security cannot be counted on these police officers.

Those pirates will instead enforce the "underground law" on the people in the area they control. They have their own legislation and force everyone to abide by it, otherwise they will be secretly punished by the gang elite called "Duke".

If the "rules" are seriously violated, they will be dragged out to be punished and shown to the public.

Including but not limited to "evading gambling debts", "killing colleagues", "burglary, robbery, murder, kidnapping or rape", "burning or blowing up residential buildings", "attempting to assassinate the boss", "stealing from the boss", etc.

Except for those actions that may shake the authority of the "boss", it is "you can't chase people home".

This is the biggest difference between Denisoa and Winter - Denisoa's underground gang does not allow any form of burglary.

Even if it was the "Damastes Scorching Tooth" that Isaac mentioned before, who was found and wiped out all the doors. It was also after going out that he was directly held down by the enemies who had been guarding the door for a long time.

Because in this country of pirates, everyone has their own home. Everyone also has their own family, and everyone has their own enemies.

If the rules are broken, the unspoken rules of the "safe house" are broken. Then all will suffer for it.

One day you might break into his house and kill him, but tomorrow someone else will break into your house and kill you. The result is that no one can sleep well.

Since this situation is going to last for a long time.

Then, even gangs that are mortal enemies will never fight each other at home...Of course, if you are timid and hide at home during the battle for territory, it is also possible.

But after his gang loses and retreats, there will definitely be a few people watching at the door of the house all day long. Naturally, the gang will not come to rescue such a "coward".

Even so, those gangs did not dare to fight during the day.

Because while the local police in Denisoa can't be counted on... the "mounted police" are not the same.

The Mounted Police is an extraordinary force directly under the royal family—or, in other words, belonging to the "Denisoya family".

All of them were transcendent beings who would patrol Denisua on horseback throughout the day, maintaining at least a semblance of order in Denisua.

Of course, this is not just for the sake of looking good...but to keep the pirates in awe of Denisaua at all times, so as not to expand to find a place to stand on their own as king.

The nobles of Denisaua, on the one hand, are using these pirates, but on the other hand, they are restraining them.

The biggest difference with the police is that.

The Royal Mounted Police have the disciplinary power commonly known as the "killing privilege".

As long as they see things that pirates may do such as "bullying the weak" and "beating innocent citizens", they can directly punish them or even kill them after confirming their crimes. And what they have to do is to write a "special treatment report" of about 400 words for each life afterwards.

At the same time, this will not be counted as a crime rate.

Their mere presence—even if they don't show up, will make those pirates behave.

However, Mounties also have well-known weaknesses.

That is, they only work six hours a day, and they don't shift shifts.

When the sun goes down at the latest, the mounted police will definitely be off duty. They can't work overtime.

Mounties who are not on duty—or, simply put, "off horse"—lose the privilege to kill.

Disciplinary powers can only be exercised when they are on horseback. Because these horses themselves are "lords" awarded by the king himself, each horse has its own name.

And they are just selected "Lord's partners" after rigorous training.

Yes, Denisaua is such an absurd country...horses even have the power to kill. These horses are equivalent to a noble who was personally awarded by a king.

In order to cope with the disciplinary power of the mounted police, the pirates had another strategy—that is, to let those who needed to be killed to stand up "voluntarily sell themselves."

As long as they bet on themselves in the gambling stalls and lose...

Based on the tradition of slavery that has not yet been abolished in the United Kingdom, those who violated the "private law of piracy" were regarded as "other people's property". Even if you are killed in public, as long as you don't splash other people's houses with blood, or throw the corpses at other people's doors, no one will come to care.

This is what gambling is all about.

Wash something that is "not at all legal" into a place that is "at least not illegal".

It's just that it's not money laundering.

but people.

Or it can be said that this is not an omission of the "Privy Council of Denisawia".

It is they who deliberately made the situation in Denisaua become like this.

Because the police need to be reasonable and paid wages, but the pirates don't—since they have started hiring pirates in large numbers, they simply use pirates to rule the country. The "mounted police" are the spiked collars on the necks of these "pirate vigilantes".

But if the mounted police themselves have too much power, it will also cause their own problems... So in the end the real power was awarded to the horse.

And these horses, the basis of the power of these beasts, are because they belong to the "nobility".

Annan suddenly understood something...

Yaweng's paintings hatched Zhiji; Yaweng's sculptures are equally great... Then, what about Yaweng's script level?

You know, the tragic writer was once a student of Javon.

But Javon doesn't seem to have any plays handed down from generation to generation.

And now, Annan seems to understand.

The entire United Kingdom in front of him has not been interfered by Jawon in any way. Or it was because he did not interfere at all, but gave them power and let them do their own thing.

Only then do these "people" have many desires for power and money in their hearts, which can adhere to themselves and form an absurd "live drama".

These people surrounded by crimes and blood on their hands are like marionettes being swayed by strings of desire. Together they staged a puppet show that lasted for hundreds of years——

A natural, absurd and reasonable puppet show.
