The Fourth Disaster Begins at the Dawn of the Millennium

The Fourth Disaster Begins at the Dawn of the Millennium Chapter 43

The entire news program is designed to instill in the public the idea that the measures proposed in the Long Beach Public Safety Expansion Act are very damn effective in fighting crime! What is determination to fight crime? Even using helicopters to shoot robbers, this is determination to fight crime!

However, this cool behavior of deploying helicopters and armored vehicles is ultimately just a means to deal with vicious cases. Helicopters cannot be on standby in the air 24 hours a day, ready to rush to a certain place and shoot criminals at any time. Even if it is at all costs to use many helicopters to take turns on duty in the air, not all crimes are suitable for the combination of "helicopters + machine guns". For example, what if you encounter petty theft? Or hostages? In this case, you can't always send machine gun bullets without exception.

Right.

This is Long Beach after all, not Vietnam.

Therefore, while the city manager and Giant Security are "flexing their muscles" to the public, another measure of the "Long Beach Public Safety Expansion Act", the American-style "group prevention and control", is also being deployed.

The dim light of the street lamps outlined a quiet street scene, with a few stray cats occasionally wandering around the streets. At this time, most of the residents in the community had fallen asleep, with only a few windows occasionally showing faint lights. In this quiet night, two thieves quietly sneaked into the community.

"These houses all look good, so I should be able to get quite a lot. I hope I can steal something good, and then go buy some good stuff and have some fun."

"Oh, I hope so. I heard that a lot of people who sell goods have been arrested recently. Those damn police and Giant God Security are stinging. To be honest, I don't have any hope of getting any good goods..."

As soon as the voice fell, two thieves walking in the shadows suddenly saw a striking sign under the street light: "You have entered the neighborhood watch area." The thieves looked at each other, and one of them frowned, "What does this mean? What's the point of these signs? Oh, like a kindergarten teacher telling everyone to be united and friendly? Stupid stuff..." He muttered disdainfully and continued to move forward. However, another person had a different opinion: "Man, I always feel that it's not that simple. This new city manager has some tricks. I feel that it's very accurate. I feel that I have been targeted by something now...."

"Don't think about that anymore, let's get this done and leave quickly, OK?

Despite some doubts, the two decided to proceed with their plan. They chose a house that looked like the owner was not at home and started to pry open the door. In the quiet night, the two tried to keep the sound of the prying door as low as possible, but it still woke up the other person across the street.

This is a retired couple. Both of them are old and have poor sleeping quality. They may wake up at the slightest noise. Especially the old man, as a person who has served in the army, he is extremely sensitive to movements at night. After all, if he is not sensitive, he may be killed by the guerrillas.

The old man thought the sound was an illusion at first, but after listening carefully for a while, he immediately realized that it was really an unusual noise. He quickly got up from the bed, looked through the window, locked the source of the unusual noise, and muttered: "Didn't John's family leave for Hawaii for vacation today? How could they come back at night..." The old man gently pushed the old lady beside him, "I heard some noise outside, you call the police, I'll go down to see the situation." As he spoke, he quickly put on the leather jacket beside the bed, took out a shotgun from the closet, and walked down the stairs carefully.

The old man came to the living room on the first floor and looked out through the gap in the curtains. This time, he saw more clearly and saw two figures fiddling with something at the door of the house opposite. The old man frowned, took a deep breath, touched the new badge on his leather jacket, and tightened his grip on the shotgun.

At this time, the thieves were concentrating on picking the lock and did not notice any movement on the other side. Just when they were about to successfully pry the door open, a burst of hurried footsteps and shouting came from far away, and the beams of seven or eight flashlights shone towards the thieves' location.

"Fuck! Stop prying! Stop prying! Run!"

The thieves' faces turned pale in an instant. They hurriedly put away their tools and prepared to flee the scene. However, just as they turned around and prepared to run, they heard an even more terrifying sound of a pump-action gun being loaded nearby.

"Stop! Don't move! Put your hands up!"

“This is a mass project initiated by the local government and organized by citizen volunteers. The police department has a series of strict regulations on this project.

Implement the rules of conduct, pay attention to details, practical countermeasures and technical prevention. Institutionalization, standardization and organization are formed in terms of identifying criminals, technical prevention and operational norms. We also firmly believe that if this project is to be carried out on a regular basis, it must fully mobilize the extensive participation of residents. Therefore, we will discuss and negotiate the implementation of the "Neighborhood Watch" project through the consultation committee jointly established by the police and community representatives. If there is no discussion and consultation with community representatives, it is not a real group prevention and control, and it will not gain the trust of residents. "

The city manager explained the Neighborhood Watch program to reporters this way:

"It may be called various names, such as home watch, community watch, farm watch, vehicle watch, boat watch, etc., but their purpose is the same, that is, to prevent crime, enhance community security, and improve community safety. In fact, we will not promote the behavior of risking life to citizens. When you find suspicious situations, you only need to call the police and the citizen patrol team in your community as soon as possible. We certainly don't want to see the situation of "everyone sweeping the snow in front of their own door and not worrying about the frost on other people's roofs" become the norm in Long Beach, but we don't want the citizens who are enthusiastic about participating in this project to cause unnecessary bloodshed due to misunderstandings or other emergencies. "

When asked how many people have joined the project, Ji Tianping, the city manager, simply said: "As far as I know, a lot. In some communities, one in every six households has joined the project. Despite the large number of people, we do not want them to become a mob. The police and Giant God Security will jointly train these volunteers. After the training, each volunteer who has completed the training will be assigned a secret 'Overwatch' number."

Chapter 143: The Hardship of Gangster Players "Raising Enemies to Protect Themselves"

The city of Long Beach is becoming a "police state," with an invisible "net" quietly falling on the heads of criminals, trapping them without them noticing.

The first network can be called the "Digital Skynet".

Long Beach has integrated the data of various government departments into the rapid response center, which can also become the local big data center of Long Beach in the future. Of course, that is a later story. At present, in Long Beach, all the heads of various government departments (that is, the players) appointed by the city manager naturally do not guard their own data and are unwilling to communicate with each other. There is no wrangling at all. The data information collected by various departments in Long Beach has been integrated in this way.

As for the most critical data information from the police station, it is not a big problem to integrate it into the quick response center. The Long Beach police have a very "West Coast gangster" style of behavior, that is, if you are awesome and treat them well, they will treat you well and listen to you. Moreover, the police station itself is also a beneficiary of this work. They have people stationed in the quick response center, which means that the police station can also obtain data from other departments from the quick response center, which is a good thing!

The Quick Response Center is not only a data fusion department. If the data cannot be effectively analyzed, the data will be meaningless. In the Quick Response Center, there are many personnel from different agencies. Their purpose is not only to input the specific information of their agencies into the information pool, but also to analyze with criminal investigation experts, psychology experts (analyzing the psychological characteristics and behavior patterns of criminal suspects), geographic information system experts (making maps and spatial analysis reports to help identify high-crime areas), financial analysts (analyzing suspicious financial transactions and capital flows) and other professionals to achieve intelligence resource sharing.

The efficiency of data collection and analysis in this era is far less than that in the 21st century, but the NPCs who entered the rapid response center in Long Beach were surprised to find that this big data analysis system is very useful, from analyzing crime hotspots and crime trends, conducting intelligence collection and judgment, optimizing police force allocation, to conducting public security assessments and public security planning, and conducting supervision and accountability...

The only thing that makes people curious and puzzled is what kind of computer and software did all this. Except for those contents that need to be analyzed by human brain, the other contents analyzed by so-called "artificial intelligence" were taken out from a highly confidential room by the staff of Prometheus Data Laboratory. They did not say how they analyzed it, but just threw the results over...........

"What kind of high-tech stuff is hidden in there?"

As a Californian living on the "Tech Coast," I can't help but suspect that there's some incredible high-tech gadget hidden in that room. Combined with the current Internet economic boom, it's even more imaginative.

But the reality is actually another matter...

In a WeChat group, Ji Tianping @ed a computer guy in the group and said: "I heard that you guys even developed an analysis software for this game? You guys really love this game so much!"

The other party replied: "Damn it, brother, let me tell you, my colleagues in my unit who are computer scientists like me, my classmates, competitors and cooperative companies, who all study computers, who doesn't want to study this game thoroughly? But its composition is really... incomprehensible to us. Now, we have to settle for the second best, thinking of making a software outside the game to help us play the game, which can be regarded as using a plug-in. But the trouble is that we have to manually transfer the input and output of this data, which is too fucked..."

"So you used computers and artificial intelligence from the 21s to analyze the data of Long Beach, Los Angeles in 20. No wonder the 'Prometheus Data Lab' you founded has become very famous in California recently..."

As for the second "net", it is a "net" that includes citizen patrols organized by community organizations and "Overwatch" consisting of individual citizens.

In the grassroots practice, gang members and general criminals increasingly feel that they are being monitored by the whole nation, as if everyone they accidentally encounter may be a hidden "snitch", that is, the fucking "Overwatch". In addition to this "Overwatch", there are also citizen patrols (composed of volunteers familiar with the community) and auxiliary police (members wear uniforms similar to police officers, carry out patrols, assist in maintaining key areas, and serve as the eyes and ears of the community, but have no law enforcement power and can only observe and report situations that need to be handled by the police).

If you encounter these three types of people, criminals should actually be thankful, after all, these three types of people only have the power of citizen arrest (private arrest is allowed, but it must be tried by a court, and the use of force should be avoided during the arrest process unless it is extremely necessary). If you encounter Giant God Security, you'd better surrender immediately at this moment, and don't expect the police to uphold justice for you.

Giant God Security has been quite proficient in using this method since the community where the Los Angeles Car Modification King store is located. After coming to Long Beach, players have a broader platform to practice this method, that is, to implement the "top-level design". Through the Long Beach City Government and the community committee, communication and coordination with social organizations, enterprises, and the public are completed.

In the process of formulating more detailed public security policies and administrative regulations, Ji Tianping, as a city manager, must frequently attend hearings attended by community representatives, listen to their opinions, understand the needs of the community, and respond to their reasonable demands, such as providing the community with funds to improve community lighting and install surveillance cameras.

In return, the city manager requires the representatives from the community committee to play the role of their grassroots organizational unit to help the city government serve as a bridge for communication and coordination, and to pass information from top to bottom and from bottom to top, and to submit recommendations and priority reports, budget items for the next fiscal year, annual development plans, etc. to the city manager.

In the city of Long Beach, some people support all the "necessary measures" taken by the city manager, and naturally there are also people who oppose it and are criticized. So do those who oppose it not want to keep their official hats? Well, Ji Tianping really cannot affect the other party's official hats at the moment, especially those in the judicial system, who have nothing to do with the jurisdiction of the city manager.

The reason why Ji Tianping can still maintain a strong position is that, on the one hand, the local administrative system he leads is united, while the legislative and judicial systems are divided into factions and cannot be united; secondly, public opinion in Long Beach is still guided by the player group. People see that criminals are constantly being eliminated, and people are constantly being saved from criminals because of the city manager's "necessary measures", so the strong public opinion still supports the city manager.

But how long can this public opinion last?

If the gangs and criminals are wiped out, then public opinion will naturally not continue to strongly support Ji Tianping and his team, because those "necessary measures" have become unnecessary; but you can't do nothing and fail to crack down on gangs and crimes, otherwise these "necessary measures" will become useless and the public will still not buy them. Therefore, on the one hand, players have to strike hard against the uncontrollable NPC gangs so that the public can see the effect, and on the other hand, they have to "open a back door" for the player-made gangs...

"Then we can only make the gangster players suffer. Please evade the long net we have set for you while trying to make some big moves..."

"Fuck!" was the only word in Carlos's response.

Chapter 144: Does the practice of the “American Dream” include “housing cooperatives”?

“Dear members of the City Council, fellow citizens:

Today, we're not talking about the dog that ran into the neighbor's garden again, or the trash can that blew over again - we're talking about something important that matters to the lives of Long Beach residents: housing!

As the city manager of Long Beach, I feel deeply that I have a great responsibility. After experiencing the crackdown on crimes and other municipal management work during this period, I deeply feel that the work of combating crime is not only to put criminals in jail, not simply to eliminate the criminals we have seen, but to eliminate the environment that encourages people to commit crimes.

The Bible says: "I have found only this: God created man upright, but they have sought out many schemes." When God created human beings, everyone's nature was upright. What we want to eliminate is the "poisonous snake" that tempts people to commit crimes. Poverty and homelessness are such poisonous snakes. Therefore, I stand here with excitement and a sense of mission and come up with a bill that will have far-reaching significance for the long-term stability of our city - the Long Beach Housing Revitalization Act.

"Oh damn! Does this city manager think he is the mayor? Or is he running for governor? Running for president? Why does he like to turn every time he takes the stage to make a statement into a speech........." complained a congressman.

"This is not surprising. Look at the media cameras. Everyone wants to perform better under the media's lens, right?"

"Then this is more like an election campaign. Does he think the city council is a talk show?" However, Ji Tianping continued to chatter:

"First of all, let me get this straight. Some parts of our city look a bit... well, like a horror movie set. Yes, I'm talking about the slums and abandoned buildings. Not only do they look like horror movie sets, but they are also scary because there are many gang members and potential criminals entrenched in those places.

We need to clean up those places that look like horror movie sets, so that they can no longer hide filth and dirt! We need to make these places bright and clean, so that our children can play safely here, instead of growing up in an environment of murder, robbery and drug trafficking. They should receive education in school, instead of dropping out early to do gang rap! We also need to let low-income people have homes to live in, so that their lives can become stable and dignified. We need to give the homeless a chance to start over! "

Ji Tianping paused for a moment, then continued:

"We will issue housing vouchers to families whose household income is less than one-third of the local median household income! It sounds like a shopping card given to them by the city of Long Beach, except this time the shopping place is the landlord. All families who qualify for housing vouchers will pay 25% of their total household income for rent, and the rest will be subsidized by the government."

"'Every American family can afford a safe, environmentally suitable, and decent home' is one of the foundations of the American dream. However, the reality is that we still have a group of low- and middle-income citizens who are in the "sandwich class" and do not meet the conditions for receiving housing vouchers. They want to own a house of their own, but cannot afford to buy expensive market-based housing. Therefore, we also need to encourage low- and middle-income people to establish non-profit housing cooperatives."

Ji Tianping began to promote this housing system from Europe, the housing cooperative, to the parliament and the citizens who would watch TV programs.

After the abandoned buildings are removed and the urban land that can be developed is obtained, what will be done with the land? The city manager has a plan, which is to support citizens to set up housing cooperatives. Ji Tianping asked the city government to provide guarantees for cooperative banks to obtain low-interest loans in this bill, because housing cooperatives are non-profit housing construction groups under democratic management, rather than profit-making enterprises. This is one of the "welfare" of Long Beach citizens and one of the means of "maintaining stability", and it should be fully supported by the government. Of course, the premise is that 80% of the members of the cooperative must work in Long Beach.

"The residents are also shareholders of the cooperative, and the shareholders enjoy completely equal voting rights. The goal is not to maximize the interests of individual major shareholders. Under this model, the municipal government can invest in purchasing part of the shares of the cooperative, and the selection of subsequent construction plans, the purchase of construction materials, the hiring of construction teams, and subsequent maintenance and updates are all jointly decided by the shareholders (if the government becomes a shareholder, it is naturally necessary to discuss with the government). The cooperative's house belongs to the cooperative, and members only have the right to use it, which can be inherited but not transferred. When members voluntarily move out of the cooperative housing due to reasons such as increased income, their share capital will be refunded............"

If the idea of ​​receiving rental vouchers has precedents in the United States, but here more details have been made, then facing the second cooperative plan, the city councilors looked at each other in bewilderment. They instinctively felt that cooperatives were incompatible with the United States where the "free market" prevailed. But they were not professionals and could not give detailed evidence to refute it.

But the city manager was able to quote a variety of classics, from European housing cooperatives to the vigorous construction of public housing during Roosevelt's New Deal in the United States. The city manager said confidently:

"Housing is essentially a commodity, but a special commodity with strong social attributes. The profit-seeking nature of developers determines that they will only invest funds in areas with the highest return rate. Experience over the past few decades and hundreds of years has proved that the market cannot solve the housing problems of low- and middle-income groups, especially cannot respond well to the housing needs of the poor.........."

The congressmen below remained silent until Ji Tianping stopped speaking. Then suddenly, the first person began to applaud. The applause became louder and louder until the whole audience was applauding. Who wouldn't applaud for nice words?

Some of them applauded because they thought the bill was good, or those who voted for them, were very tempted by the "pie" that Ji Tianping had painted. One reason might be that they themselves were facing housing pressure, and unlike those political families who "passed down their responsibilities as family responsibilities", these congressmen did not have any protection, and they were just relatively respectable workers, so they could empathize with him.

Some people are really enthusiastic about reform. They have great hopes for "housing revitalization". They expect "rental vouchers" and housing cooperatives to provide suitable low-cost housing for the poor, reduce slums, and improve the appearance of the city. They firmly believe in the concept of "environment determines people's behavior" and hope that good housing and a good community environment can reduce the disorder of slum society, improve the quality of low-income groups, and reduce crime rates.

Of course, some of the people who were applauding were cursing in their hearts, and they exchanged opinions in low voices:

"Bullshit! This city manager is a Keynesian!"

"I think he not only believes in Keynesianism, but also believes in fucking socialism, at least he believes in the social democratic way."

"But this guy has influenced a lot of people. Look at the enthusiasm of those MPs who came to work part-time. We can't form a majority in the parliament to block this bill..."

"Then let the city manager do it, let him be a fool like Robert Irving, and the hand of the market will beat him!"

Chapter 145: Plain Business and Political Struggles (━)

"They will definitely regret agreeing to the passage of the Long Beach Public Safety Expansion Act, which made it easier for us to get their secrets."

Often, any small opening in something is made to allow more excessive things to proceed naturally. People related to Long Beach's real estate, property investment trust, and subprime mortgage businesses did not expect that when the city manager and his staff introduced the "Long Beach Public Safety Expansion Act", they were ready to exploit loopholes in the bill from the very beginning and listed them, the "businessmen", as one of the monitoring targets.

With the authorization of the Act, the Rapid Response Center has the right to intercept wired, oral or electronic communications related to drug trafficking, murder, human trafficking and other criminal activities, as well as wired, oral or electronic communications related to computer fraud and abuse crimes. Everyone knows that the Act authorizes the interception of these criminal clues, but players can "accidentally" intercept some "businessmen" information when intercepting those criminal information. Of course, these are accidentally intercepted, and after confirming that they are not related to criminal behavior, they will naturally not be archived.

With the help of "Black Ops" members, players can also install eavesdropping and monitoring equipment in the offices, homes, and long-term hotel rooms of these "businessmen" to ensure that there are no secrets in Long Beach for players.

Of course, this kind of monitoring must be carried out in secret. It involves the monitoring, wiretapping, information collection and analysis of local bigwigs, all of which are carried out directly through the Prometheus Data Laboratory. There is a physical information barrier between it and the more public rapid response center.

Now, this early-stage eavesdropping operation has reaped the rewards. After analyzing the audio obtained recently, Prometheus Data Lab confirmed that some real estate tycoons, property investment trust managers, and subprime mortgage managers in Long Beach have initiated a chain reaction. On the one hand, they are preparing to take action in the market to snipe the city manager's "new policy" on housing:

The first is to engage in political lobbying, by spending money to influence the attitudes of some legislators towards the bill, and strive to amend or overturn the bill; the second is to engage in media public relations, using the media to create negative public opinion about the bill, influence public opinion, and create opposition to the bill; the third is to gain opposition pressure from the state government to force the bill to die.

"It's not that we can't continue to fight them in Parliament, nor in the field of public opinion. Similarly, we can also win support from the state government. We must also make these preparations, but... since we already know their conspiracy in advance, why don't we take action now to nip it in the bud?"

In the WeChat group, Ji Tianping once again @ed the friend whose game ID was Carlos..........

Long Beach welcomed a bright morning. The morning sun fell on the coastal trail. The light golden sunlight shone through the swaying palm leaves and spread to every corner of the trail. The breeze blew over the sea, bringing bursts of fresh ocean air. Occasionally, the cries of seagulls broke the morning tranquility on the sparkling sea.

On the trail, a man who was jogging in the morning was enjoying the good times of the day. Fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, slid down his cheeks, and finally merged into the sweat on his neck. The man's breathing rose and fell rhythmically with his steps, his arms swung vigorously, and each step made a slight sound on the ground.

As a top subprime mortgage manager in Long Beach, he would run for half an hour every morning before work to keep himself healthy so that he would not be too tired to find entertainment at night... Oh, and also to keep his mind clear and his thinking active, so that those with low personal credit ratings could be forced to "buy a house". He always repeated to his customers: "You can always believe that the house price will go up! Any fluctuation in house prices is just a technical adjustment to accumulate power for the next increase! The best time to buy a house is always before, and the second best time is now!"

But that stupid city manager took action and gave the low- and middle-income groups another chance to obtain housing security. This is a typical example of "cutting off someone's financial resources is like killing their parents". With this, how can I trick those with low credit ratings into buying houses? In Long Beach, it is not only the subprime mortgage traders like me who are harmed. Those who are engaged in real estate development and profit from high-rent properties are all at odds with this new bill. A hidden alliance is quietly being established, and I am also making plans for this alliance, just waiting for its implementation...

While thinking about the scene of "the stupid city manager being forced to step down in disgrace" in his mind, he ran around a corner and heard a rapid car engine sound behind him. The next second, the car suddenly accelerated and rushed towards the man at full speed. The car engine sound became louder and louder, as if an out-of-control beast hit the man who was jogging in the morning.

His body was thrown out like a kite with its string cut off, and fell heavily to the ground. His T-shirt was torn apart by the impact, and his body slid on the ground for several meters before finally stopping in a pool of blood. The man's eyes instantly became unfocused, and he let out a faint groan, and then there was no more sound.

At the same time, the out-of-control car continued to rush forward and hit a wall in front. The violent crash was particularly harsh in the quiet morning. The front of the car was smashed beyond recognition, with debris flying everywhere and the glass shattering. The driver's head hit the steering wheel hard, and blood gushed out instantly, staining the entire car red. The driver's body was stuck in the seat, without any response, and obviously had no signs of life.

The whole accident happened in just a few seconds, and other morning joggers on the trail were stunned by the sudden tragedy. Some screamed, some stood still, and some quickly took out their phones to call emergency services.

Soon after, the sound of sirens and ambulances came from a distance, gradually approaching. A few minutes later, police cars and ambulances arrived at the scene one after another. Medical staff quickly got out of the car and ran to the injured man and the driver with emergency equipment. A medical staff squatted beside the man, quickly checked his vital signs, shook his head, and said in a low voice: "There is no sign of life." Another group of medical staff struggled to rescue the driver from the car, but the driver also lost vital signs...

At this time, a player in the WeChat group said: "This seems to be the first time we applied to the group company to assassinate a non-red-name NPC, and it was actually approved. By the way, this guy didn't seem to have time to do anything before we killed him. Isn't it a bit..."

"Hey, don't feel sorry for the NPC, feel sorry for us, the Black Ops players. The NPC lost his life, but I can't play this game for 24 hours. Do you know how hard it is for me to endure these 24 hours?"

Chapter 146: Plain Business and Political Struggles (Part 2)

On the tranquil sea, a white luxury yacht was sailing slowly. On the deck of the yacht, a lively party was going on. There were about ten people on the boat, three middle-aged men and seven or eight passionate women, all wearing light summer clothes, enjoying this unrestrained time. The atmosphere of the party became more and more intense with the rhythm of the music. Everyone drank a lot of wine, and their faces were filled with drunken smiles.

The owner of the yacht has become a little fat, wearing a floral shirt and beach shorts, holding a glass of champagne, and chatting and laughing with his friends. The two men next to him are his friends and partners. One is an accountant who has been doing accounts for the owner of the yacht for many years and has won the trust of his boss; the other is a congressman, but he is not an ordinary congressman. He not only has connections with the state legislature, but also has contacts with the local wealthy families in California, the Newsom family and the Brown family.

As for the women on the yacht, they were all young, beautiful and sexy. They wore all kinds of swimsuits, standing, sitting, dancing and laughing, enjoying this luxurious party. The men and women at the party gradually moved beyond the flirting phase and began to move into more exciting phases under the blessing of "ice". The atmosphere also changed from joy at the beginning to frenzy, and from time to time someone would let out a neurotic beast-like howl.

However, the intercourse had just reached its climax. Suddenly, the crew of the yacht shouted: "It's not good! Gentlemen, there is a big problem!"

"Jack! Have you taken too much?" The yacht owner asked in a daze, with a hint of uneasiness in his eyes. He put down the champagne in his hand and the beauty under his crotch, and walked towards the cockpit. The crew was sweating profusely, with fear in his eyes: "Boss, I... I can't control the yacht! There seems to be something wrong with the control system, it is accelerating! Moreover, the counterweight of the boat seems to have been tampered with, it is unbalanced on both sides........."

"What? FUCK! Why are there so many problems all at once? You haven't checked the yacht, have you?" The boss's face turned pale in an instant: "You better find a way to stop it!"

The crew desperately twisted the steering wheel, trying to stabilize the direction of the yacht, but it was obviously useless. The yacht began to accelerate rapidly on the sea and turned wildly. The violent shaking made the people on the deck unstable and fell to the ground one after another. Wine glasses and bottles rolled to the ground with a clanging sound. Everyone on the boat was trying to keep their balance and stand firm, but the violent shaking of the yacht made their efforts seem futile.

The yacht kept accelerating on the sea, spinning wildly, and the huge centrifugal force made the people on the boat stagger. Everyone held on to whatever they could, trying not to be thrown out, but fear and despair gradually spread in everyone's heart. At this time, it was too late for the people on the boat to put on life jackets.

"We are going to capsize!" As soon as the words fell, the yacht tilted at a great angle and finally turned over with a huge roar. The seawater instantly poured into the yacht, and everyone was thrown into the cold seawater. The sea surface suddenly fell into chaos, with screams and struggles coming one after another. The people on the boat struggled desperately, trying to float to the surface, but the anesthesia of alcohol made their movements seem extremely clumsy. They were hit by the waves again and again, and they kept coughing because of the seawater. Their bodies rose and fell on the sea surface, and finally they never floated up again.

After a long time, the rescuers arrived at the sea area where the accident occurred. Unfortunately, except for a few blonde girls, none of the men survived. The rescuers learned from the blonde girl that before the boat capsized, everyone on the boat had drunk alcohol and taken drugs to some extent.

Therefore, the preliminary investigation results of the incident can basically be concluded: "Because all the people on the yacht were in anesthesia and hallucination caused by alcohol and drugs, the yacht was operated irrationally and was unable to correct it in time, which eventually caused the boat to capsize!"

"Obviously, this was an accident! This shows that alcoholism and drug abuse are harmful to health......"

,

Almost at the same time as the shipwreck, at the door of the local court in Los Angeles, the prosecutor was saying goodbye to his colleagues. They had just finished a meeting, and their faces were a little tired, but more satisfied and accomplished. Just now, he persuaded a suspect to plead guilty to a misdemeanor through a plea bargain. The conviction rate related to his KPI continued to remain high, and his career was still bright. Just the day before yesterday, someone from the Long Beach City found him and hoped that he would help to raise a legal challenge to the "Housing Revitalization Act" proposed by the city manager, questioning the compliance and constitutionality of the bill.

The prosecutor readily agreed. After all, the other party had paid a lot of chips, which was enough for him to move to the next level.

Not long after he walked out of the court, the prosecutor's assistant followed the prosecutor with a pile of documents and said in a low voice: "Sir, in this rape and murder case, anyone with a discerning eye knows that there is only one person who committed the crime, but the four people who were arrested all admitted that they were the criminals. Isn't this too fake..."

"It's not important. It doesn't hinder the operation of our judicial system. You see, we originally needed to spend a lot of time and do a lot of work to collect evidence and confirm who is the truth. But now we only need to make a plea bargain with these four people and let them admit to a lighter charge. This not only saves us trouble, but also ensures that we will win the case and the conviction rate KPI will not drop..."

"But that means three ordinary people will be wrongly accused and a real suspect will escape the crime... maybe four people will be wrongly accused."
