Chapter 162 Clean Money, Reverse Vibes

It was the man and woman who died in the wheat field, the first two victims of the war.

After the man said these words with difficulty, his head tilted to the side and he lost his breath.

In front of the child, Ke Lin squatted down and silently folded off the red stone that had been separated from the dead body.

Ricardo disassembled the gun and packed it into his bag, and followed Colin to the alley.The child was so frightened that his face was lifeless, and he stared blankly at the two strangers who appeared in front of him.

Looking at this scene, Ricardo couldn't help turning his head away, and cursed in a low voice:
"Damn, don't keep staring at me."

He hates this kind of scene the most, because it will evoke some memories of his childhood, as if seeing himself in the past.

Many of my playmates at that time were children who had nice clothes but were dirty all day long.

The woman from more than half a month ago... died in my hands, I pulled the trigger with my own hands.

Ricardo tried his best to tell himself that bootleggers deserve more than death.So, they did nothing wrong at all.

But death is never a matter of the dead alone.

The death of one person will eventually change the fate of many innocent people around him.

These people are always there, they just don't notice it.

Even I was once one of the victims, but now, I have become the perpetrator with peace of mind.

Hearing the whispered scolding, the child instinctively flinched and lowered his head.

Ke Lin put all the collected red stones into his thin coat, and then carried the dead man on his shoulders.Then, he discovered something strange about Ricardo.

Ricardo is essentially a gentle and soft person. Although he likes guns and gangs, these are just impulses and fantasies that boys have.

It was me who was bewitching him, making him pull the trigger again and again, contrary to nature.

Whenever this happens, I always say to him: "Those who reach out to the blood-stained profits are already ready to be killed by us."

But this statement, which they used as a confession, has lost its magic in the face of today's facts.

"If it's hard to accept, you can think about it in a different way, maybe it will be easier." Colin said:

"—even if we don't do it, someone else will."

"Although we are killing people, we are actually saving more people. We are making this process of competition end earlier, so fewer people will die."

In this way, he expanded the lower limit little by little, and continued to make his crimes seem reasonable.

Ricardo raised his head slightly, but there was a trace of confusion in his eyes.One day, this rhetoric may also be shattered, so what about in the future?Next time, how can I escape this guilt?
Looking into his eyes, Colin began to realize that there had to be someone to bear all the sins.

What's more, all of this was originally caused by myself.

"If you still can't accept it, then you try to think like this."

He got up and signaled Ricardo to take the child:
"...It was indeed my finger that pulled the trigger, but the intent to kill was entirely Colin's intent to kill."

Colin weighed the corpse he was carrying, and walked towards the carriage:
"If anyone is at fault, it's all his fault."

…………

The child was then placed in the care of a member who was sterile due to his injuries.Ke Lin has had a lot of contact with him, and knows that he is a mild-mannered person, and he is also well-respected among his comrades.

Colin paid him three hundred Ori at a time, and said that he would come back regularly to check on the child's condition.At present, Ke Lin does not want to contact those orphanages with religious background, and the child is also a witness, so he cannot be released freely, so this is the only way for the time being.

There is only one agent left in the formerly vast northern organization, and it must have been unable to make any waves.

Slowly, how to deal with the large amount of cash began to become a serious problem in Colin's mind.

At present, the Stade organization receives [-] Ori a day, of which [-] Ori is routinely handed over to the behind-the-scenes X.Now the number of keys to the safe deposit box provided by him has increased to six.

Because after a period of experimentation, everyone found that there must be at least six storage compartments in order to safely stuff all the ten thousand Ori cash into it.

But how to deal with the remaining [-] Ori a day is still a troublesome problem.

Among them, there are only a few banknotes in denominations of ten, and most of them are around one or two. In addition to a larger amount of Aspen, there are more than 1 banknotes and tens of thousands of coins on average every day.

The part of the banknotes alone here weighs more than ten kilograms, and it only takes about five days to fill a cubic meter.

In the future, although he will not keep all 40 Ori in his hands at once, considering the current situation, Ke Lin still can't help but imagine what the money will look like - if they are used to pave two meters by two meters, A double bed with a height of [-] centimeters can be stacked into four.

That is to say, a sea of ​​cash fifty centimeters thick and four meters by four meters in size, enough for a dozen people to hold hands and dance on it.

Looking at this momentum, do we need to find a special warehouse to store it?
Or even use them as bricks to form a wall for concealment?
Because of the constraints of poverty, Colin never thought that hiding money was such a troublesome thing.

After all, only contraband merchants should hold so much cash.

And if there is any large transaction, I am afraid that the money will have to be transported by truck.

"Think about buying some casinos, car rental companies, laundromats and other industries."

Colin gestured, and said to Benedict who was also devastated:
"Then try to adjust the income and expenditure in the accounts..."

"Adjust the income and expenditure so that this money becomes the funds of those industries?"

Benedict vaguely grasped something from Colin's words, but he didn't fully understand it, so what's the point?

"Then, the money is clean."

"That way, we can deposit them into a bank account," Colin said.

Turn around a little and let that money turn into legitimate income.

Money laundering, this concept should appear for the first time in the world.After Benedict went through it carefully, he discovered the infinite possibilities hidden in this set of operations-the legalization of income, that is to say, their huge profits are no longer just a sum of money that must be hidden and spent slowly. Power that can be transformed into capital.

Then the gang organization will be more than just a gang organization.

Even though Benedict had a lot of contact with people of all schools and classes, he couldn't help but stare at the lieutenant dumbfounded at this moment:

"Boss, you... are simply a genius."

Combining the experience of this period of time, he stammered and said at a loss:
"I don't know how to express it, but, you are only one person, so how could it be..."

One man, conceived of a whole model of modern organized crime, and it always proved to work.

As a rule of thumb, no matter how clever a person is, it is unlikely that they will create a pattern out of thin air.The factors involved are too complicated, and should be discovered through trial and error in actual operation.

At this moment, in Benedict's mind, the lieutenant has completely become an incredible existence.

He didn't know that in another world, someone had already operated this system for hundreds of years.

…………

Elena originally planned to use the next week's spare time to teach Ji Lian the basics of precision forecasting, but was interrupted by a sudden task.

But the next course is already irrelevant.Because in just five hours that day, Ji Lian had already mastered the essentials of the forecasting used by Linus.

Still at the open-air coffee shop on the cape, facing Ke Lin's inquiry, Ji Li'an said lightly:
"He uses a prediction system that only appeared in modern times, and it was only realized less than 20 years ago. It may be relatively immature. And after a little understanding, you can find that there is no essential difference between this method and ritual magic."

Therefore, she, who was originally specialized in ceremonies, just glanced at this field, and she has already mastered it:
"A more focused inverse resonance prediction known as the 'Swabian approach'."

"If we talk about general ritual spells, it uses mirror resonance to direct events in the ritual space and distort events in the real universe."

"So many predictive methods are 'not setting a clear event ending in the ritual space', so that the trend of the big universe events is reversely resonated in the ritual space, capturing the future results."

After all, mirror resonance is a two-way street.

"However, how to ensure that the events in the ritual space will resonate with the events of the big universe? In other words, how to ensure that they form a mirror image relationship?"

Ji Li'an took a sip of Otu coffee, and frowned slightly because of the bitterness:
"The general practice in ancient times is to use a fixed series of fuzzy mirror images in rituals. Ideally, these mirror images should be mutually exclusive and exhaustive at a certain angle, so that they can cover all events in the universe. Of course , the fact is that it is absolutely impossible to do it... Then in the process of predicting a specific event, a series of mirror images that have resonated in them are screened through a certain method, and the scope is narrowed down, so as to further observe the results."

"So all the efforts of ancient forecasting are aimed at establishing a symbolic system that can refer to all events in the grand universe. Cards, lotteries, and spiritual numbers are all products of this kind of thinking. The basis for later generations to judge their maturity , in fact, it depends on the perfection of this symbolic system.”

"But you don't need to think about it, you know that this kind of thing is impossible to be perfect. After all, people's understanding of the world is still superficial, so there is no need to build a symbolic system that delusionally covers the entire universe."

This time, Ke Lin managed to keep up with Ji Lian's train of thought.After all, what she talked about was just the foundation of an unfamiliar field:

"The so-called Swabian method is a more pragmatic method: since it is impossible for a fixed symbolic system to cover the entire universe, each time it is focused on a single specific event, that is, it is specially depicted in the ritual space. Wouldn't it be nice to have a mirror image of the event?"

And the deeper the focus, the stronger the resonance.

"Of course, this is just what we think about now. After all, the symbol system that can express a specific event in the ritual space so accurately was formed after the sixth century."

"The ancients only had a simple mirror image thinking. It would be too difficult for him to describe a mirror image for a specific small event."

"And the forecasting method used by Linus is the so-called 'Swabian method'." Ji Lian said:
"With this step, theoretically, I can also predict results that are very close to them."

　A bit of a strange attempt, good or bad I don't know.
