Officer Lukar had been working on Kent's (the small casino owner) case recently. This case had been flagged as a priority investigation by the Golden Port City Police Department because many people had died. It sounds like... they attach great importance to it, but in fact, many cases have such labels, but most of them eventually fizzle out. Some are because they really can't find clues, while others have found clues, but can't investigate further. A very reputable detective once said that the most…-

Upon hearing the siren, Johnny and the people who were beaten with him breathed a sigh of relief, but a small accident also occurred— Some people in blue work uniforms actively blocked the police car, even surrounding it. Even if these people were illegal immigrants, Officer Feren would not dare to actually drive over them. When it comes to killing, victims have no nationality distinction. Even illegal immigrants. You can beat him, humiliate him, curse him, but you don't kill them or cause serious…

Today, Mr. William (Patricia’s father) was returning from the state government, and Patricia said her mother suggested they all have dinner together in the evening.

So he declined Vaughn’s suggestion about President Scott wanting to meet him that evening and drove directly to the train station. And at 6:40, he waited for Mr. William. Lance honked his horn by the roadside, and William immediately noticed…

The atmosphere was oppressive. Actually, bullets are also a kind of gift, and as long as it's a gift, there will be something similar to "gift message" during the giving process. Giving chocolates, for example, is like a disguised confession. So giving a bullet also has a meaning; it means "you will die by a bullet," and this is mostly used as a "death threat." When Lance placed the bullet on the banknotes, Officer Feren immediately snapped back to his senses, his greed defeated by rationality, and he…

In the Federation, union funds mainly come from two sources. One is social donations—like dock capitalists who want to maintain a close relationship with the union. The secret to keeping good relations is donations. But this isn’t absolute; some companies feel no need to donate because they already provide jobs and believe they’ve done their part for society. Not every company donates monthly. On average, dock capitalists donate about $1,800 to $2,000 per month annually. The second income source…

Jamie cried for a while until his emotions were mostly released. Then he suddenly felt a bit embarrassed, mixed with some worry. "Even if we don’t want to count on this, what choice do we have?" "You know, people in the Federation are biased against us." It wasn’t just bias—it was discrimination. Someone had once tried to report to the police after being robbed. But that undocumented immigrant worker refused to say where he was from and had no money to buy a ticket home. He was sent to an…

In early November, the election results came in hot, and just as everyone had expected, the President won re-election by a landslide. The Federal Daily ran the headline “Another Great Victory” to celebrate his win. Meanwhile, The Federal Post fired back with a front-page story titled “The Most Shameful Victory,” openly clashing with The Federal Daily. In the article, the editor called it the most disgraceful midterm election in the history of the Federation—not a triumph of free will, but a…

Mrs. Lawrence had just wrapped up a... middle-class women’s community social gathering. These women,…

Alberto thought for a moment, then pulled out a twenty-dollar bill and set it on the counter. The woman inside took the money and handed over a container filled with four rows of coins. Her eyes lingered on Lance’s face—he was her type. She gripped the edge of her bustier suggestively, like she might pull it down at any moment. “Wanna take a look?” Lance looked away. “Thanks, but no.” The woman whistled, quickly flashed him a peek, and then covered up again. “Too bad, I showed you…

When Hammer’s wife and children heard that he had caused a loss of 5,200 by beating someone for no reason, and that the other party was considering using legal means to recover the money, the honest woman and her kids couldn’t accept this fact. They simply couldn’t afford to pay so much. If the other side didn’t show mercy, their house might be auctioned off. “Sometimes I really wish he were dead!” his son said bitterly. He was an alcoholic, unfaithful to his family, and no help to his…
