Chapter 294: Treat others with their own medicine.
The fees for the first few orders were high, mainly because errors would occur every time the 'games' happened, causing the situation to become extremely bad, and the customer had to provide extra compensation for the ensuing troubles.
The higher remuneration later is because this black industry has become more mature, and what Ralph can provide is no longer single and shallow.
Another half hour or so.
Based on the ledger, Lin En successively asked for the list of dignitaries who had visited the first floor of the Old South York Hotel in the past year.
Very tricky.
There are many famous people from all walks of life, and some hold real positions of power, even members of the royal family are involved.
Just picking out a small part of them is enough to cause shock in the imperial capital. Exposing all these people in one go will probably trigger news for a long time to come.
Real name.
Expose them all.
Make it public.
Thinking of this, Lin En couldn't help but smile bitterly.
The mysterious existence is quite sinister. It seems that the mission is to target the negative floor of the Old Nanyue Hotel, but in fact it is to make the two of them enemies of a group of powerful people.
Is this a level four mission?
In Linn's self-estimate, this should be considered level five difficulty.
"Now, what should we do?" After answering all the questions, the hotel owner Ralf asked.
Marquis Aldrich and Butler Phil were all ears.
It can be said that Lin En’s next speech is the most important.
He already knew what was going on on the first floor of the Old Nanyue Hotel, and also knew which dignitaries were involved. The rest should be how to deal with it.
Several people were curious about how much energy Lin En, who seemed to have no background, and Reiner, the young master of the Fernando family, could unleash to compete with dozens of powerful people, big and small.
"There should be more than this one account book." Lin En's question was not over yet. "This only records that you collected money, but it does not record that you spit out money. Hire thugs, pay hush money to hotel staff, and bribe other people to help.
Clearing and transporting corpses, etc., is also an expense that cannot be ignored."
Hearing this, Ralph's face became darker.
Lin En obviously didn't give him any way to survive, and was determined to dig out the entire framework.
In this way, countless strong evidence points to him, and it is difficult to escape.
"Do you really...do you really want to do it so brilliantly?" Ralph said, "We are all like this. If you have any ideas or wants, just tell me."
"Heh." Linn sneered.
Of course he had to grasp the situation carefully.
Only in this way can we have more evidence, making it difficult for everyone to make excuses and cover up the tragedies in the past.
"Money? I can give you half of the money I have saved over the past year!" Ralph saw that Marquis Aldrich had no reaction, so he could only save himself, "Two hundred and fifty thousand gold! What about two hundred fifty thousand gold?
Like this?! This money is enough for you to squander it in the imperial capital!"
"Where is the money?" Lin En took advantage of the situation to inquire about the whereabouts of the huge sum of money.
"You agree?" Ralph's eyes lit up.
Linn shrugged, noncommittal.
In order to find out where the huge sum of money is hidden, it's not a big deal to tell a few lies for the time being.
No matter it is now or what he said before, as long as they tell the truth, he will not kill them. Lin En will not really keep his promise for the sake of so-called faith.
Are you kidding me?
Playing hook-and-loop with a group of people whose depravity value can easily reach several hundred is a childish game that won't change in a hundred years?
If you really do this, you will die hundreds of times!
There is a saying that goes well: being kind to your enemies is cruel to yourself.
Lin En deceived these people, but he felt no burden in his heart.
"How can I trust you?" Ralph was somewhat of a man, and he didn't reveal where his savings were hidden before he came forward.
"Do you have a choice?" Linn asked.
He didn't give these people any chance to be equal to him.
This is one of the skills of negotiation.
When you have the ability to suppress the other party, you must suppress it to death. As long as the other party acquiesces and gets used to this unequal status, he will heartily accept the injustice he encounters.
"You can't give me any guarantee, so I choose to refuse to answer." Ralph believes that the huge sum of more than half a million gold is his only trump card now. In the absence of absolute safety, he can only take this piece of money.
If the matter is revealed, death will be inevitable.
"hehe."
Lynn laughed again.
How could he not know what Ralph was thinking?
That's right, Linn really doesn't want to let this important figure like Ralph die. If he dies, the powerful people will probably be happy because they have nothing to prove about their own affairs.
But! This doesn’t mean that Lin En can’t do anything to him!
Death is terrible, life is worse than death!
"It seems that our interview is not going to proceed smoothly." Linn sighed, stood up and walked towards the torture rack, "What torture instruments did you plan to use to torture Reiner and me before?"
"You..." Ralph's hands were tightly cuffed to the armrests of the seat, which made it inconvenient for him to turn his head to check on Lynn.
And Linn was selecting torture instruments out of sight. This kind of unknown would double the fear.
When Marquis Aldrich and Butler Phil saw this, they all swallowed their saliva subconsciously, thankful that they were just a part of the 'rich man's game', unlike Ralph who was the core of it.
If they tell the truth about their situation, they should not suffer any physical pain.
On the other side, Linn quickly selected two torture instruments.
These two torture instruments were used by this group of people on themselves and Reiner before.
One of them is a sharp fork that is pressed against the neck and collarbone. The person can only tilt his head up as much as possible and cannot move at all, otherwise the sharp forks at both ends will penetrate into the chin and collarbone.
One is to insert your fingers into the holes one by one, and shrink the holes by turning the knob, so that the fingers feel a huge sense of pressure until they are squeezed to pieces and shattered.
In fact, these two are not very cruel in the torture rack, but they are enough for Ralph, who is pampered with delicate skin and tender flesh.
Especially since he has personally tortured and witnessed other people's torture, he is well aware of the damage caused by these instruments of torture, and can predict his own end with just a little thought.
When his fingers were forced into the hole, and the double-headed prongs were about to get stuck between the collarbone and chin, this man who was extremely tough thirty seconds ago quickly lowered his head and begged for mercy: "I say! I say!
There’s also a ledger! It’s in the safe in my office!”
"It's too late." Lin En's hands didn't stop moving.
He decided to teach Ralph some profound lessons so that he could no longer have any illusions, so that the subsequent interrogation could continue smoothly.
"I told you! Hey! Hey! Don't do it! The account book is really in the safe in my office!" Ralph's head was pushed back by Linn, "I know I was wrong! Please, please stop!"
"
Linn turned a deaf ear and fixed the double-ended prongs on Ralph's neck.
This made Ralph unable to speak anymore. As long as he opened his mouth a little, the double-ended prongs stuck tightly to his collarbone and chin would directly pierce his skin.
Then, Linn turned the knob on his finger half-heartedly, and Ralph's finger suddenly became sore.
"Wu, wu—" He pursed his lips in pain and made a muffled sound.
Linn remained expressionless and continued to turn the knob.
The hole continued to shrink, and the pain in Ralph's hands reached its peak, making him unable to control himself and wanting to struggle. And this struggle caused the double-headed prongs to pierce his chin and collarbone respectively.
Seeing Ralph being tortured like this, Marquis Aldrich and Butler Phil were so frightened that they dared not breathe and wanted to escape from this terrible place immediately.
"Dong dong dong."
At this time, there was a life-saving knock on the door, and Linn stopped turning the knob.
"Wu...wu..." Ralph shed tears, but still did not dare to open his mouth.
Lynn pulled out his gun, gave Marquis Aldrich and Butler Phil a warning look, and then walked to the door: "Who?"
