The Pale Knight felt something was wrong, especially when he saw the third exactly the same vending machine at the door of his office.
First, he didn't drink soda at all. Secondly, he didn't have coins. Finally, even the kind of teenager who especially likes to beat vending machines should not need three identical machines to be used as sandbags.
But this is just the beginning.
There is an entertainment room opposite the mayor's office. Usually, other people cannot enter, mainly used by the mayor when he entertains guests.
This entertainment room was carried into a pool table on the first day, but for some reason, another one was carried into today.
The Pale Knight went in and looked at it and found that there was only a pool table inside. I don’t know where the one I had before.
The most outrageous thing is that when he was at work on the third day, he saw someone carrying a pool table inside, but there was still only one pool table inside.
The three vending machines at the door disappeared.
The Pale Knight was almost thinking he was a god.
These days, he didn't even process the official documents, so he squatted at the door of his office to see what they moved into it every day.
It was all good at the beginning, but it was nothing more than billiard tables, dart boards, table football games, etc. Later, it began to turn into vases, tea sets, statues, etc. in wooden boxes.
Although the Pale Knight is not a rich man, he is not unaware of it. Those things are very expensive at first glance.
The key is that these things only enter and don’t exit, and they will disappear into the room within less than a day.
The Pale Knight thought there was a small black hole opposite his office.
He asked the assistant what was going on, and the assistant only told him that it was normal purchase. He asked the assistant again where the purchase was going, and the assistant said it was normal to lose. He asked again why it was lost, and the assistant only said that he should have a good rest
.
This was simply inconsistent with the foreword, which made the Pale Knight feel even more and more wrong.
Finally, on the fourth day, he couldn't bear it anymore. He didn't leave after get off work and stayed at the door of the office. He wanted to see where these things went.
The result was really haunted. After a thin fog passed, the thing disappeared out of thin air.
The Pale Knight rubbed his eyes several times, but couldn't see clearly what was going on. He then adjusted the surveillance and found that nothing was taken in the surveillance.
But at this time, the Pale Knight suddenly recalled a recent rumor in Gotham, that is, the Arkham Asylum haunted.
It is said that the former dean Tok died too miserably, and the ghost was trapped in the Arkham Asylum, constantly pestering those who wanted to enter the Asylum. I heard that several of them had driven crazy.
The Pale Knight guessed it almost immediately, and it must be Schiller's fault.
He called and thought he wanted to argue with Schiller for several rounds, but Schiller admitted directly: "I took those things away, and they are currently placed in the office of the president of the Arkham Asylum."
The Pale Knight was shocked by his righteousness. He held the phone and said, "Why do you want to take those things?"
"Because you don't want it."
"Why...
"Oh, so you want it, then I'll give it to you."
"Don't!" said the pale knight. He had such a big coffee machine in his office, which was already crowded. Then there were four large pool tables, three vending machines, two table football game tables, and more than a dozen.
Where is the vase? Is it hanging on the balcony?
"I don't want it." The Pale Knight quickly emphasized again, saying, "I just want to know why you did this."
"You care why I did this?"
"How can I ignore it? I..."
"Have you spent your money?"
Schiller choked the Pale Knight with one problem. He really didn't spend his money because he had no money at all.
"But you can't spend municipal funds to buy these, right?"
"Why can't I?"
“This money should be used for…”
"Can you decide who to use it?"
The Pale Knight was speechless because he really couldn't decide. The donated funds were controlled by elites.
"Well, since you can ask them to buy you these things, can't you buy something more useful?"
"First of all, they bought it for me, but for you."
"ah?"
"Didn't this thing be sent to the mayor's office?"
"But I confiscated it."
"You took it, but you don't want it, I'll take it away."
"I confiscate it!"
"But you didn't refuse."
"This cannot be considered as my collection, because these things will eventually be left in the municipal building for the next mayor..."
Speaking of this, the Pale Knight couldn't continue to say anything, because these things are not in the municipal building now. Not to mention the next mayor, I can't touch them now.
The Pale Knight opened his mouth and said, "But no matter how much I play, I won't use four pool tables in two days, right? Don't they think it's outrageous?"
"It's very simple. You are a mentally ill patient. You can't control yourself when you start an illness and like to smash things. It's normal for you to lose more."
"But my illness has been cured! It's not you..."
"Don't talk nonsense, don't talk nonsense! Who told you that your illness has been cured? I am a professional psychologist. If I say you don't recover, you won't recover. I have issued you the most professional diagnosis certificate, and they just sued you.
You can also not compensate in court.”
"I..." Pale Knight couldn't speak for a long time. Then he put his waist on his waist and turned around with his cell phone, saying, "Then are people from the Finance Department and the Administration Department willing to increase their workload? How troublesome is this?
ah?"
"This is not an increase in workload. They are very happy to serve the mayor. In order to meet your requirements, they have been working overtime in recent days, working hard and devoted their efforts..."
The pale knight didn't believe in evil, so he took his cell phone and took a look. Guess what? The hand of the finance department's financial keyboard typing came out with a shadow. The people who coordinated transportation and installation of the administrative department simply lived in the municipal building.
Even the installation workers found a room to live in.
At this point, the Pale Knight also understood a little.
These people in the municipal government are veritable borers. As long as there is money in the municipal funds, they will find ways to eat up.
No mistakes, one song, one post, one content, one reading!
However, it is also important to pay attention to how much money you eat to their master and how much it is left in your own pocket.
For example, their master has developed a project specifically to empty municipal funds, so they can drink some soup.
But it is not like changing a toilet in the building to falsely report a little money, and they have to hand over it all. No matter how loyal the dog is, he doesn't pick up poop outside and even gives it to his owner for food.
If municipal funds could have been used to improve citizens' lives, they would be big pests. But if municipal funds could not be used on ordinary people at all, it would be better to be taken away by them than to be taken away by elites.
If municipal funds were originally provided by elites, then they would be hiding wealth from the people.
Following this idea, Pale Knight found that although the city government now has only more than 8,000 employees, in fact, there are about 30,000 positions like coffee machine repairman.
The Pale Knight thought these positions were fictional, but later he found out that they were not. Many positions that could do or not were all relatives of some young leaders or their children.
If you say how difficult the family of these people is, it is not true. If you have relatives at home who can have a stable position in the municipal government, you will definitely not be the lowest-level person.
But these people are not elites, and they are not even the highest among the lower class. Even the small leaders in the municipal department are not the highest among the lackeys, at most they are just the middle class.
Lower level.
This group of people is not the poorest poor, but they are not rich. They live relatively stable, but there is room for improvement.
Don’t say that the United States is not a human society. After anyone has some rights, if there is a good thing, he will definitely take advantage of his relatives, friends and acquaintances first. It is impossible to find strangers on the street.
Just one person brings ten, ten and one hundred, which always brings some poor people. Among these 30,000 temporary workers, one-third of the people are poor relatives.
Even among the cleaning staff of this exaggerated coffee machine in the Pale Knight's office, an elderly woman in her 60s who had been auctioned off and had been living in the shelter for a long time.
This also made the Pale Knight understand the reason why Ms. Weiss was dissatisfied. Because this lady was Ms. Weiss's friend when she was young, she had never done anything bad, but had experienced many ups and downs, and she was considered a pitiful person.
Although this job is not enough to make her live a good life, it can at least allow her to rent a house. Even the most remote and dilapidated house is better than living in a shelter.
Now the Pale Knight understands what Ms. Weis means by the wisdom of the petty citizens. They are selfish, shrewd, not good or bad enough, but they will try their best to defend their own interests. Their power to unite cannot be underestimated.
This is because the Pale Knight discovered that no matter how good the plan is, someone must implement it, and the execution end of any policy that is put into is bound to be this group of petty citizens.
The elite class is powerful? Are rich people capable? But can they come to the municipal government to manage finances by themselves? Can they handle toilets and pool tables? Of course it is impossible.
Rich people are only responsible for making plans and paying money, and then they feel that this group of people will follow the procedures they set, and the harvest will continue to fill their pockets.
But in fact, this is not the case at all. If this group of people who are executing are bought by rich people with money, it proves that they love money.
If you collect commissions from rich people, you still have to work, but you don’t have to pay a price to be greedy for money.
This is what is called "you take his interest and he takes his principal".
Schiller also took advantage of this loophole.
Things like if you need a coffee machine, if the pool table is broken, and if you add an extra vending machine, it is normal office losses. Rich people will not use this kind of thing to get back funds, which is slow and
trouble.
So why don’t you just report to the employees?
They are all coffee machines. Buying a 6,000 yuan is different from buying a 600,000 yuan. The money you greedy for is different. Buying a 6 million yuan will be added in addition to the money, and you can add 20 more maintenance jobs. If you buy a
For 60 million, in addition to money and jobs, you can also report bad debts from the previous quarter.
A 60 million coffee machine is outrageous, but if everyone can get one hand in this process, it is a matter of being a big deal, and it is particularly reasonable to refer to a deer as a horse.
What's more, isn't anyone taking the blame for this?
Our mayor is from Gotham's Black Flag, and he drinks an authentic Gotham flavor. If it is not Gotham's aged rain water brewing, I won't drink it. Then it's not too much for me to organize a group of people to pick up the rain water for the mayor.
Bar?
After all, the rich man’s request is to use money to corrupt the mayor, so he must see the power of money.
Don’t say that he wants to drink coffee, even if he wants to eat Yuelan, you have to send a rocket to him.
Otherwise, how could he know the benefits of being rich? How could he be greedy for money?
As for why he wants to eat Yuelan, isn’t it because he is a mentally ill?
He said that it would be useless if he got better. Now the director of Arkham Asylum is Schiller. As the most professional psychologist in Gotham, he said that anyone who is crazy is crazy and no one can argue with him, including the patient himself
.
It's broken, Schiller has no invalid operation.
The pale knight collapsed on the chair in the mayor's office and closed his eyes helplessly.
But at this moment, the office door was knocked. Before he could walk over and open the door, a group of people in uniform walked in. The man in the lead showed his ID: "Hello, I'm a federal investigation.
Chandler Anthonyk, head of the Bureau's New Jersey Anti-Corruption Investigation Team. We investigated the recent unknown flow of large municipal funds in Gotham, so we were ordered to investigate."
