Chapter 692 Shameless (Part 1)
Dear citizens, we are deeply sorry for the riot. There will be a video conference at 3:00 pm to explain the incident!
5th Public Security Management Section
Alpha stared quietly at a message on the homepage of the Action Section. All major media have been reprinting it, and many people have already started to discuss it.
"Is that guy okay?"
Alpha said, looking at Le Xiao, who was sleeping in a bad posture on the bed, with a frown on his face, talking in his sleep from time to time, and lying in a big human shape, which looked a bit ugly.
Alpha smiled and walked over to help Le Xiao cover the quilt. They rested in the room provided by the General Affairs Section.
At this moment, Alpha couldn't sleep because of his sister Nia's problem. In the past 50 years, many section chiefs have resigned after huge problems. The power of public opinion is terrible. The public does not need to know the truth, the ups and downs, or the process. They only want to know who is responsible for it.
As the regulatory department of urban security, Section 5 is responsible for the important part of urban governance. Once the city developed to a stable level, the Operations Department began to appear, in order to govern all aspects of the city.
Alpha clearly remembers that the most headache-inducing problem during the years when he took office was the economic problem.
More than 50 years ago, there was physical currency, and virtual currency had just entered the review stage. In order to facilitate the control of the city's economy and prevent counterfeiting, Alpha could only scratch his head every time he encountered such a problem.
After that, Section 7 was gradually established, and a unique wallet was issued, replacing all physical currency with virtual currency. Section 7 took on the role of managing currency. They only had the authority to grant loans to individuals or companies, but not the authority to use the money for investment, and were responsible for personal and corporate tax issues.
Section 9 is responsible for the supervision and review of the market economy, including the development of new economic models, etc. When it was first discussed in Congress, it was originally intended to classify economic crimes as Section 9, but in the end it fell on Section 5, because it was also a crime, and the number of people in Section 5 once exceeded that of the military department when it was first established.
Economic crimes are difficult to handle because as long as there is a problem in one place, it will affect other aspects. Conviction requires not only direct evidence, testimony, and witnesses, but also corroboration to determine whether it is a crime. The process is long and the search is difficult.
Like this incident, if the black market middlemen were not arrested, the black craftsmen would have changed their nature as long as they continued to be stubborn and survived for 48 hours. In order to protect themselves, the businessmen put all the faults on themselves.
Alpha was still browsing most of the content that only the section chief could know on Gene's mobile phone. She had fully understood the course of this incident.
In the eyes of many ordinary people, they abide by the law and pay taxes according to the law, but such a vicious large-scale economic crime still occurred, and economic crimes also directly affected the market. When many people reacted, they were angry at the first time. They clearly abided by the law and paid taxes according to the law, but the regulators did nothing.
Because of the lack of understanding, misunderstanding, and dissatisfaction with the current state of life, most people are angry. They have been unable to find an outlet for their unsatisfactory lives. After the explosion of this serious economic crime today, the enemy has appeared, and the public enemy who can vent their anger and dissatisfaction has appeared. The Operations Department should be responsible for this incident.
Alpha looked at the comments under many news on another light and shadow screen. Most people are in a state of attacking.
Alpha sighed, lit a cigarette, took the phone in her hand, pressed 0005, but did not dial. She wanted to call Niya, not to hold a video conference. In the worst case, this large-scale economic crime case can be slowly announced in batches, which can reduce the impact on the 5th department. This is the safest way Alpha can think of.
"That girl probably won't listen."
Alpha smiled bitterly, looking at the concentrated and unified public opinion, Alpha sneered and exhaled a puff of smoke. She knew what public opinion was a long time ago. If public opinion could really solve the problem, there would be no need for any law enforcement and conviction agency. It's a pity that public opinion will only come out when the influence of things expands. In the calm daily life, no one will care about these things at all, because they are too far away from their lives. When the problem is exposed, the invisible thing of public opinion will begin to be unscrupulous.
Comments that denounced the inaction of the Action Department were more fiercely abused, and Alpha turned off the screen.
He raised his head and exhaled a puff of smoke, and then lowered his head and began to feel sad. His family was once a victim of public opinion. The family was eroded and discredited by the Hillman family bit by bit. It was constantly exposed that he used his power to give the family convenience, and the construction of the city's underground logistics channel and transportation channel that was costly and laborious was criticized by countless people.
But no one sees the congested streets with cars, the heat and exhaust gases they emit, which are constantly swallowing up the city's sky, making the city's temperature higher and higher, and the living environment is constantly deteriorating. No one sees all this.
Most of those who participated in the public opinion are still alive. They are now enjoying the convenient urban underground transportation network and logistics network. No one mentions the past because they have long forgotten why they participated in the public opinion.
Alpha still remembers that an economist spoke out at that time. The economist named Hu Youran was just a newcomer in the commentary circle. He was the only one who spoke for the Angus family, but at that time he only received everyone's ridicule. Later, many people realized that Hu Youran's remarks were correct, and he began to become a top economist.
"The enemy this time is very tricky, Niya!"
Alpha muttered, his fingers on the button, but he still didn't press it. The worst case scenario is that Niya resigned.
But Alpha soon laughed. It shouldn't be the case, because his sister was a thick-skinned person who was not afraid of boiling water since she was a child.
The most profound thing in his memory was that Alpha had just entered the school established by the gods, and Niya was only 7 years old, and she was also of school age, but Niya skipped class on the first day of school.
Because the teacher didn't tell her family because of their family's wealth, Niya went to school half-heartedly. She would attend one or two classes when she was happy, but she would skip school when she was unhappy.
However, the truth was revealed. In the final exam of the first grade, Niya scored zero points. At the parent-teacher meeting, her parents were almost mad at her. What was surprising was that Niya couldn't count from 1 to 10, and the only word she knew was her own name.
As a result, Niya was beaten severely by her mother Violet, and her butt was broken. I thought she would learn from the lesson and go to school well. The family also invited an extracurricular tutor to help her make up for the first grade class, but Niya was still not honest.
From childhood to adulthood, Niya was always on the verge of skipping classes and being beaten. Alpha also beat Niya. When he saw her playing with some street hooligans, that was the first time Alpha beat Niya, but Niya didn't get angry afterwards. She just smiled and wiped the blood from her nose. After listening to his sermon, she walked away as if nothing had happened.
The second daughter of the Angus family is hopeless and the words that it is a family shame have been circulating in the city for many years. After that, Nia even threatened to break Nia's legs to let Nia stop living a lazy life, but Nia was still shameless and even ran to his office in front of a bunch of directors to ask him to give her pocket money when she had no money.
It was not until he got into trouble that Alpha asked Gene to take care of his sister, and Gene agreed. Alpha still remembered that the most shocking thing he heard during his dark prison life was that Nia became the head of Section 5 20 years ago.
Alpha still remembered that he was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a long time, and he confirmed it with Jewel several times again. It was not until Jewel took out the staff information of the Operations Department that Alpha believed it.
There are only three ways to get Nia to step down from her position now.
The first is to be directly expelled by the six gods, the second is a joint impeachment document by more than 70% of the staff in Section 5, and the third is to resign automatically.
The first one is obviously impossible, because Niya has made the city's security much better than before over the years. Niya has indeed done much better than when he was in office. The second one is even more impossible. After witnessing the members of Section 5 that day, Alpha knew very well that his subordinates recognized Niya from the bottom of their hearts.
Now Alpha is worried about the third one, resigning.
Fortunately, the city has cancelled the citizen referendum, and only the 1,200 members who are qualified to enter the Congress Hall are representatives, but if they want to initiate a vote to fire Niya, it is even more impossible. No member has ever done so in the past 50 years.
The city has always maintained a delicate balance. This time, the collective loss of voice of the members is enough to explain everything. They just hope that the problem will be settled as soon as possible. The key lies in what Niya does.
"Sister Alpha, what time is it?"
Le Xiao suddenly woke up and climbed out of bed, panting and sweating.
"I had a nightmare!"
Le Xiao swallowed.
"I was scared to death. I dreamed that I made a mistake at work and was scolded by a tigress!"
Alpha frowned. At this time, the door of the room was knocked. Le Xiao looked at the time and it was only 2:40. She lay down again and planned to sleep until 4 o'clock.
"Your Excellency Secretary General!"
Alpha bowed formally, and Michelle nodded and walked in directly.
Bang
Le Xiao fell off the bed to the ground. She was naked but still stood up reflexively and shouted with a red face.
"Your Excellency Secretary General!"
Michelle looked at this impetuous little girl with a serious face.
"Put on your clothes first. The video conference of Section 5 will start soon. We have to see what Lady Nia said before we can prepare your speech tonight!"
