Chapter 758 Gaston Mansion

The Gaston Building is 75 stories high, but now the outside of the building is mottled, and there is a black hole on the 73rd floor, which was obviously bombed. The elevators and the like broke down earlier.

Several assault vehicles had just stopped in front of the building, and dozens of strong men with fierce faces immediately surrounded them, each with their chests exposed and their bodies covered with various large-scale hideous tattoos.

In the assault vehicle that Lu Ming was sitting in, there were two more plainclothes police detectives, from the No. [-] police station where the Gaston Building was located, and they often dealt with the gangsters in the Gaston Building.

Among the two plainclothes police detectives, there was a man from Zhongzhou, everyone called him "Li".

There is a legend that his father was an extremely vicious and martial arts warlord in the Northern Territory. Because he was persecuted by the Kingdom of Han, he took refuge in the United Kingdom, and happened to immigrate a large number of people into the Ged area. Therefore, the Li family also came to settle in Jier City along with the wave of immigrants.

Lu Ming didn't know that there was such a family of Li's warlords. Presumably, the Li's family was bragging about it, or spreading rumors, mainly because of the Sonia folk's misunderstanding of the Northern Territory, thinking that the big and small warlords who ruled there were evil and terrifying families.

At this time, seeing the gangsters surrounding the assault vehicle, Li's partner Taylor's face changed color, but Li was very calm, and was still telling Lu Ming about the situation of the five major gangsters in the Gaston Building.

Each of the five gangs occupies several floors, and the higher the strength, the lower the floor they occupy.

The Sickle Party and the Jiujiu Gang have divided up the 20 floors from the first floor to the No.[-] floor, and the two gangs each occupy half of the [-] floors.

They sell drugs, sell organs, force prostitution, collect rent from the poor, and set up sweatshops, forcing the poor inside to work twelve or three hours a day to manufacture small commodities that require complicated manual labor, such as puppet toys, cheap clothes, shoes and hats, etc.

At this time, another assault vehicle was in, and David had already got out of the vehicle. He took out his ID card and shook it at the front of the gangsters, and raised his voice, "Sickle Party, go and tell your boss White to get out now, otherwise, he will be in big trouble!"

Although the first control has lost power, it still doesn't care about gangsters like the Scythe Party.

Especially the gangsters in the slums, almost all of them are Gaed gangsters.

A circle of police officers with live ammunition got on and off the assault vehicle, forcing the gangsters to retreat.

"General, shall I bring White to the car to chat with you?" Li said beside him.

Lu Ming nodded. He also knew that for the detectives in this police station, eradicating the gangsters was beyond their authority. Therefore, for the Gaston Building to have a little order, the detectives like Li must have established a good personal relationship with the gangsters, so that it would be more convenient for them to handle cases and enter the building to catch fugitives.

Sure enough, Li got out of the car and entered the building. More than half an hour later, a short, fat, bald man came out with him. Looking at him with dark eyes, it made people shudder. Naturally, it was White, the boss of the Sickle Party.

White got into the assault vehicle, and there were only Lu Ming and him in the vehicle.

Lu Ming handed him the business card, White looked at it nonchalantly, and stuffed it into his pocket.

"Last month, that is, on March 967, 3, you attacked the Camel Bar. Among those who were shot dead were four of our former employees." Lu Ming looked at him, "Now I want an answer."

"I don't know what you're talking about!" White shook his head.

Lu Ming turned around and opened the window, and said to Durant who was standing under the car: "Immediately investigate all members of the Sickle Party in the Gaston Building, and arrest all important members of the Sickle Party. If anyone resists, use first-level force to respond!"

Durant saluted, turned and picked up the wireless intercom to give orders.

The heavily armed police officers of the assault vehicles got out of the vehicles one after another, wearing explosion-proof shields, black hoods, bulletproof helmets, body armor, and standard assault rifles, and the teams assembled one by one.

Snipers also started looking for strategic positions.

Watching the scene outside, White was stunned, and hurriedly said: "That..." He took out his business card from his pocket and glanced again, "Bit...General Bit?" After being stunned for a moment, he hurriedly said, "Can we negotiate terms?"

Lu Ming has closed his eyes slightly, with an obvious attitude, he has no time to play hide-and-seek with you, and you don't have any capital to bargain.

"Bang, bang", the tear gas was ejected, white smoke filled the air, and the gangsters who had gathered in front of the building immediately became chaotic.

"General, yes, it was funded by a boss who gave us 5000 yuan, ten pistols and thousands of rounds of ammunition..." White said anxiously.

Lu Ming remained silent.

There was a "bang bang" gunshot, and the special police had already opened fire.

"Mr. Eric, the Minister of Queens, sent someone to fund us, and said there would be no trouble!" White said loudly.

Only then did Lu Ming knock on the car window, and said to the outside: "Just sweep the first floor!" Such a big battle, naturally he couldn't return empty-handed.

White's face changed again and again, but for some reason, he didn't dare to speak any more.

The first floor is commonly known as Maliao, which is a place where prostitutes sell sex under the control of the Sickle Party and the [-] Gang.

Although the Gaston Building has made the citizens of Jill turn pale, the first floor is the favorite of many middle-class people, because although most of the consumers on the first floor are bitter people, there are also rich and wealthy areas. The prostitutes selected are very beautiful, and young prostitutes are also provided.

In less than an hour, hundreds of women were brought out.

Durant's SWAT team naturally wouldn't distinguish whether these Maliaos belonged to the Sickle Party or the [-] Gang.

White's face was ashen, and he couldn't make a sound.

Lu Ming glanced at White, this is really Ged people bullying Geds, the Scythe Party is all Geds, and the refugees squeezed in Gaston Building are also Geds.

Including these Maliaos, the vast majority of women are forced or even forced by life.

Looking at the slightly dilapidated skyscraper outside the car window, Lu Ming said indifferently: "I'll go to the city hall to have a look and buy this Gaston Building, White, what do you think?"

White smiled bitterly, not knowing what to say.

Gaston Building has failed several auctions, and no one is willing to buy it now.

Lu Ming had already said to the car window: "You guys deal with this first, I'll go to the city hall."

……

The chief commissioner's office on the top floor of Gil City Hall.

Listening to the person talking on the phone, Hines was stunned for a while, and thought for a while: "Well, please invite General Bit to my office."

The call was from Office No. 9, the so-called "Illegal Property Processing Office". "Illegal property" was confiscated Gedde property, but most of it had already been auctioned off.

The new representative of the first control now wants to buy the Gaston Building?What kind of abacus are you playing?
Major General Bit, who came back from the Western Regions, had discussed him in a party meeting, and believed that his qualifications and ability in the Western Regions were a formidable figure. However, the First Control is now not only completely castrated in power, but also has serious internal strife. This is why this hero who has maintained the interests of the United Kingdom in the Western Regions for several years is sent to do the work of handing over the police force, which anyone can do.

But this guy, what does it mean to buy Gaston Mansion?
While Hines was pondering, there was a light knock on the office door. Behind the beautiful secretary was a handsome man. Although he was wearing plain clothes, he had an extraordinary bearing. At first glance, he seemed to have commanded thousands of troops.

Hines saw the photo of the young major general, and stood up with a smile: "General Bit, I have admired you for a long time, and I have long wanted to visit you!"

Lu Ming shook hands with him and greeted him. The two sat down on the sofa in the rest area, and the beautiful female secretary brought two cups of coffee.

After talking a few gossips, Lu Ming smiled and said, "I don't know what you think about my purchase of the Gaston Building, mayor? I'm willing to pay 10 yuan."

Hines smiled, "When this building was completed 30 years ago, the cost was 500 million. If it is now, it is less than 5000 to [-] million. It is difficult to build such a skyscraper."

Lu Ming nodded: "You also said that it was in the past, but during the war, it was bombarded by artillery fire. Didn't construction experts say it was difficult to repair? The structure of the building was destroyed. If it continues like this, it will become a dangerous building in 20 years. It is basically impossible to repair it. It can only be blown up and rebuilt. So buying it is equivalent to buying a piece of land, bombing the building, and cleaning up the land. That's why the auction has been passing! Now, the economic center has shifted to the new district, and Queens has become a poor land. Discount, not to mention that the building has now become a slum, gangs are rampant, and the ruined ones are in bad shape!"

After a pause, Lu Ming said, "For 10 yuan, there probably won't be another person willing to offer this price."

Hines shook his head: "Major General Bit, in fact, it's not just about money. Why hasn't the municipal council expelled the people who occupy the Gaston Building now? It's mainly to give the poor a place to live. It's out of humanitarian considerations. If you want to buy it now, it's assumed that you have a way to clear the place, but there are probably tens of thousands of citizens living in that building, right?"

Lu Ming nodded: "Including gangsters, there must be 8 or [-] people in the surrounding shacks."

Hines spread his hands, "That's right, assuming the general can clear the field, then, who can bear the disastrous consequences of these [-] to [-] homeless people, or nearly [-] refugees flooding into the urban area?"

Lu Ming smiled and said, "I can promise that if I don't clear the field, I don't have the ability to clear the field."

Hines was stunned, "Excuse me for being stupid, I can't figure it out even more!"

Lu Ming sighed, "I just think they are too miserable, and I want to help them. I like to help people very much. Especially since I have seen them, I will definitely do something for them."

ah?Hines looked at Lu Ming, half-believing for a moment.

After thinking about it again, Heins said, "Well, General Bit, you also know that if you want to sell an important building like Gaston, you need to go through a lot of procedures. During this time, you should think about it again. I will also urge the office to arrange a hearing as soon as possible."

Lu Ming took out a check and handed it over, it was a check in denomination of [-].

Hines hastily declined: "I can't guarantee the ticket, and I shouldn't accept the payment, should I?"

Lu Ming smiled, "No, I hope the mayor can arrange the preparation fee for the hearing as soon as possible. It would be the best if the hearing can be held today!"

Hines was stunned, looking at the face value of the check, he was a little taken aback for a moment.

Lu Ming did not speak, but waited quietly.

The gold that Soros presented to the kingdom is in the underground secret room of Villa No. 21 in Hynes.

In fact, judging from the amount of gold that Soros secretly exchanged and collected, it is clear that the Gade people originally had the idea of ​​establishing an independent country.

The gold may not belong to Soros himself, but to a secret organization preparing to build a nation.

It wants to be part of the Commonwealth of the Empire, not always under the rule of the Kingdom of Gryffinni.

But now, of course, all this is meaningless.

According to Soros, the secret room is very hidden, and it is difficult for outsiders to find it.

There is also no report of a huge amount of gold being found in villa No. 21. Even if Hines found out, he was planning to hide it for himself.

Looking at his reaction when he saw a check of 10 yuan, there is a high probability that he did not find gold.

It would be nice to take this opportunity to get in touch with him.

Finally, Hines quickly picked up the check, stuffed it into his inner pocket, and said with a serious expression, "General Bit, please write another check for 1 yuan!"

Lu Ming didn't say much, and wrote a check for 1 yuan and put it on the coffee table.

Hines rang the desk bell, and the pretty secretary rattled in.

Heins pointed to the check on the coffee table and said, "Bring the check to Office No. 9, tell me that I managed to get the money, and sell Gaston's negative assets for 1 yuan, and ask Office No. 9 to initiate a simple procedure, and complete the relevant procedures immediately, lest investors change their minds!"

The secretary answered yes, and walked out with the check.

Hines said to Lu Ming: "General Bit, please go with her to go through the formalities, thank you for your investment!" His expression was very serious, as if he had just met Lu Ming, and the chatting and chatting just now had never happened at all, let alone accepting any checks.

Lu Ming nodded and got up, and he thought to himself, the rose party's way of doing things is very efficient.

As for Hines, he was pretty good in terms of collecting money and doing things. He originally planned to buy Gaston Building with 10 yuan, but now he only spent 1 yuan more, and he can get the legal procedures today, which is equivalent to an expedited fee.

In terms of normal investment, investors will feel that it is worth it. Mayor Hines is very good, and he will not be blackmailed to report him. Instead, he hopes that there will be more officials like this, the better.

The result is relatively ideal, but there is a big difference in whose pocket the money goes into.
