my wife is a consul

Chapter 315 Case in Case

There is a foul smell in the air near the tanneries.

The work of the manual tannery is heavy and has great damage to the body. First, the various animal skins received are soaked for cleaning. After a day, they are cleaned and soaked in pits with chemical cleaning water. The smell is stinky. It came from here. The workers had to stand in the pits to depilate the animal skins, and the solution inside would naturally cause great damage to human skin and hair.

After the animal skin comes out of the cleaning pit, the white veins and skin lines have been exposed, and then it is put into the roller machine for further cleaning, then dried, and finally it is polished and polished with sharp knives. In the first step, all the animal skin and fluff will be removed, and the workers who do the work are all muscular and strong men, otherwise, this step cannot be carried out.

The primary leather is made in this way, and the next step of processing and so on is the work of the tailor.

Lu Ming followed Isabel around the tannery, and admired Isabel's tolerance for the atmosphere here.

The team was divided into three groups. Lu Ming and Isabel came to the leather factory and met the person in charge, Thomas Hodelman. workers questioned.

Of course, whoever had personal relationships with the three gunmen was introduced by Thomas.

Naturally, there is no point in asking this kind of question.

When the investigation team came to this small town with few outsiders, they couldn't hide it from the Hodelman family. In Isabel's words, secret investigations were ineffective, and it was better to be aboveboard.

There were quite a few teenagers in the thirteens and fourteenth year who were wearing waterproof pants to deal with the leather in the pothole.

Looking at this scene, Isabel frowned and said: "Mr. Thomas, I now suspect that you employ child labor as long-term labor, and it is extremely heavy labor. On this point, I will open a file to follow up."

The Federal Bureau of Investigation has a lot of power. In the states directly under the federal government, it can open a case for investigation of any violation of federal laws.

Thomas' face immediately turned ugly.

Lu Ming didn't speak. In fact, like the West at the same time, child labor is very common in the western and southern states of the empire.

Even Donghai, who is only a few years old like Bisi, can also work as an hourly worker. Of course, there must be adult workers around, and they cannot engage in heavy labor that does not match their age.

However, Isabel's actions not only offended the factory owners, but also the child laborers and their families who scolded them the most.

But Isabel did it on purpose. Before coming here, one of the strategies was to find fault and give the leather factory an illegal name.

……

When they came back, they saw that the iron gate of the small courtyard was splashed with sewage, and there were rotten vegetables and the like.

Needless to say, the leather factory will also be temporarily shut down, and the news of the investigation into the cost of child labor has spread throughout the town.

For dinner, Lu Ming and the five girls ate bread and ham and drank yogurt in the restaurant.

Not long after Lu Ming returned to the room, Isabel knocked on the door and came in.

Lu Ming was a little helpless, why did she feel that she was a little too clingy now, and it looked like she couldn't do without chatting with him for a while.

Before meeting her officially, I really didn't expect this to happen.

"Teacher, are you full? The ham is made by us at Tulip Manor. It's pure meat. You can't eat it outside. It tastes good and replenishes your energy, but you haven't eaten a single bite!"

Lu Ming smiled: "Eat less at night, I have to keep in shape."

Isabel was surprised immediately, "You don't need it, I always thought that what my mother likes is a person with an interesting soul..."

Lu Ming looked at her speechlessly, he really treated himself like a badass.

Isabel immediately felt something was wrong with what she blurted out, "I'm sorry, teacher, I'm not..."

Lu Ming waved his hand, "Okay, let's change the subject, you came to see me not just to worry about my hunger, right?"

Isabel came over and sat gently on the sofa opposite Lu Ming in a very elegant posture, sighing a little, "I have a lot of doubts..."

Lu Ming rubbed his nose. This is because he really wants to treat himself as a life mentor and a person to confide in. In eighteen or nineteen years, if you want to chat with men close to elders, do you have to grab yourself to finish the chat?
"Teacher, what do you think is wrong with the separatist movement in Houseville? If most of the residents here want to decide their own affairs, why should we interfere?"

Lu Ming was stunned, thinking that you can say this, but I can't.

In other words, if there are a large number of separatist organizations in Houseville, it may not be a bad thing for their possible future ideas. The more such organizations in the states of the empire, the better.

But I definitely won't help them. These organizations are a mixed bag, and if they really help them, it's hard to guarantee that they won't leak the news in the future.

However, after glancing at Isabel, a thought popped into her mind, but she quickly shook her head, it would be too despicable to use such a girl who was almost completely defenseless against herself.

Thinking wildly in my heart, I said: "From the perspective of all mankind, you can't look at the problem this way. I think that a federation of all human citizens is the only way for us to avoid destruction. Use the wisdom and resources of all mankind to explore The universe, exploring the deep space, is the correct way for the continuation of human civilization, otherwise, human beings will perish in internal struggle sooner or later.”

After listening to Lu Ming's words, Isabel's green eyes lit up, she got up and walked to the window, opened the window, looked at the deep starry sky outside, after a long time, "Teacher, we will really be like lost in the movie of space in the future, we can Flying in space on a starship?"

"I hope so." Lu Ming also got up and came to the window, looking at the bright stars in the night sky, let out a long breath.

A little homesick, missing the home where technology has been developed to the point where you can look down on the beautiful blue planet from the space station.

Perhaps the vast starry sky can best evoke the nostalgia of wanderers.

Lu Ming stared at the very familiar starry sky in the night sky, and was a little dazed for a while, not knowing where he was.

Is this the dormitory of my university? Everything is my daydream?

After a long time, Isabel's faint voice sounded, "Teacher, I heard that you wrote the script lost in space?"

"Yes..." Lu Ming still looked at the night sky quietly.

Isabel stopped talking.

It wasn't until someone knocked on the door that the two of them woke up together, recovering from their respective thoughts.

"I'm fine!" Isabel replied, probably the followers, if they don't see her for a long time, they need to confirm her safety.

"Teacher, you are the most talented person I have ever met, and you are also the person with the highest style. Looking at the starry sky with you, I seem to be looking at the entire universe, as if I have soared in the space nebula!" Isabel said before saying goodbye , pursing his lips into a smile, and even more proactively stretched out his delicate little hands wearing snow-white lace gloves.

The etiquette of the nobles of the Kingdom of Griffin is very old, and only the closest people will still use the hand and face kisses for morning and evening greetings, and noble ladies must take the initiative.

Lu Ming smiled wryly, and clumsily held back his glove with his mouth. This is her official recognition of her stepfather's identity, right?
