He glanced again at the man with the smiling mask.
And if he appears here, it will be easy to guess the identity of this stall owner.
He is probably the blood of one of Isaac's "younger brothers and sisters".
Isaac seemed to have guessed what Annan wanted to ask.
He whispered: "The pupils of my brothers and sisters are this brown."
"Um……"
Annan pondered.
This is indeed a bit beyond Annan's expectations...but it seems to be a very reasonable situation.
It's not surprising that gambling stalls are opened anywhere. After all, it can only be regarded as a "somewhat special" pawn shop, but any place with a basement can be converted into a gambling stall.
But unlike those casinos, gambling stalls do not make money from gamblers, but specifically serve pirate gangs. Not only do they deal with prisoners plundered at sea, but more often they execute lynchings on gang enemies, and then
Or implement some "family laws" internally.
Because of Denisoya's special system, any big noble who wants to amend the law on a large scale will be strongly hindered. Because others cannot judge whether there is some kind of trap hidden in it, and whether this trap will happen.
interfere with their rights.
It can even be said that the opinions submitted by the "members meeting" are all signed by who in the "committee", and what faction these committee members are from, and what their political goals are. Many times, it depends on
What determines whether an opinion is passed or not is not just the content itself, but these "external things."
This makes large-scale arrests of Denisawyer unlikely.
They even want to "control the crime rate."
Otherwise, the rising crime rate in this area will become evidence in the parliament for one group to attack the other group. The area controlled by everyone is "calm", so why did you arrest so many prisoners there?
And because supernatural beings and ritualists are running rampant, crime cannot be completely stopped.
So how to reduce the crime rate?
It's very simple, just don't accept the report.
In the United Kingdom, the police will only open a case and issue a wanted warrant if you "provide evidence on your own".
In the absence of a wanted warrant, they will only accept prisoners who surrender... Even if enthusiastic people catch the prisoner on the spot and escort him to the police station, as long as there is no evidence, the most the prisoner can do is walk around and hand in the evidence.
The bail will be released.
There is only one exception, which is in the field of supernatural crimes, and the police will be particularly concerned about it.
Because extraordinary beings and ritual masters can indeed cause huge damage.
Those extraordinary detectives and extraordinary police detectives in detective stories, all they can do is to investigate the case to the best of their ability and hunt down the suspects. They need to spend half a month or even several months to solve the problem.
Arrest the "prime offender"...and they can't even arrest too many people, otherwise it will make the "data not look good".
The income from this job is much higher than that of an ordinary police officer.
After all, in Denisaw, the police are "off-duty". They're not even dangerous.
Throughout the United Kingdom, the police are not responsible to the people, but to the mayor. The mayor, as a member of the "committee", is responsible to the entire committee and commands the local "membership committee".
So these police officers don't want to receive the case.
Even if the prisoner is "arrested", it means that the security of this place will deteriorate, at least in terms of statistics. Unless they can be sure that the prisoner can be arrested and the case will not be overturned, they would rather let the matter go.
When everyone is cheating, the only person who is not cheating will be targeted by everyone.
Therefore, urban security cannot rely on these police officers at all.
Those pirates will instead enforce "underground laws" on the people in the areas they control. They have their own legislation and force everyone to abide by it, otherwise they will be secretly punished by elite gangs called "Duke".
If you seriously violate the "rules", you will be dragged out and executed and displayed in public.
Including but not limited to "escaping gambling debts", "killing colleagues", "burglary, robbery, murder, kidnapping or rape", "burning or blowing up residential buildings", "attempting to assassinate the boss", "stealing the boss's things", etc.
In addition to those behaviors that may shake the authority of the "boss", it is "you can't chase people home."
This is the biggest difference between Danny Sawyer and Winter. Danny Sawyer's underground gang does not allow any form of home invasion crime.
Even the "Damastes Burning Fang" whom Isaac mentioned before came to the door and killed the entire family. He was directly held down by his enemies who had already been guarding the door and surrounding him after he went out.
.
Because in this pirate country, everyone has his own home. Everyone also has his own family, and everyone also has his own enemies.
If you break the rules and break the unspoken rules of the "safe house", everyone will suffer because of it.
Today you may break into his house and kill him, but tomorrow someone else may break into your house and kill you. The result is that no one can sleep well.
Since this situation will last for a long time.
Then, even if the gangs are sworn enemies, they will never fight each other at home... Of course, if you are timid in the battle for territory and hide at home, it is okay.
But after the gang loses and retreats, there will definitely be a few people watching at the door of the house all day long. The gang will naturally not come to rescue such "cowardly cowards".
Even so, those gangs did not dare to fight during the day.
Because while the local police in Denisawia can't be counted on... the "mountains" are different.
The Mounted Police is an extraordinary force directly under the Royal Family, or in other words, the "Denisoya Family".
All of them are extraordinary beings who will patrol Denisoa on horseback throughout the day, maintaining at least a semblance of order in Denisoa.
Of course, this is not just for good looks... but to keep the pirates in awe of Denisoya at all times, so as not to become so arrogant that they find a place to become their own king.
The nobles of Denisoya were using these pirates on the one hand, and suppressing them on the other.
The biggest difference with the police is...
The Royal Mounted Police have the disciplinary power commonly known as the "murder privilege".
As long as they see "bullying", "beating innocent citizens" and other things that pirates may do, they can directly punish them or even kill them after confirming their crimes. And all they have to do is
Afterwards, a "special handling report" of about 400 words was written for each life.
At the same time, this will not be counted as a crime rate.
Their mere presence, even if they don't appear, will make those pirates more honest.
However, the Mounties also have well-known weaknesses.
That is, they only work six hours a day and do not work shifts.
The mounted police will definitely be off work by the time the sun goes down at the latest. It's impossible for them to work overtime.
A mounted policeman who is not on duty, or to put it simply, "not on horseback", loses his killing privileges.
Only when they are on horses can they carry out disciplinary powers. Because these horses themselves are "lords" personally awarded by the king, each horse has its own name.
And they are just the "Lord's partners" selected after rigorous training.
Yes, Denisoya is such a ridiculous country...horses even have the power to kill people. These horses are equivalent to nobles personally awarded by the king.
In order to deal with the disciplinary power of the Mounted Police, the pirates have another strategy, which is to make those who need to be killed to establish their authority "voluntarily sell themselves."
As long as they bet themselves in the gambling stalls and lose...
Based on the slavery tradition that has not been abolished in the United Kingdom, these people who violate the "private pirate laws" are regarded as "other people's property". Even if they are killed in public, as long as they don't splatter other people's houses with blood, or destroy other people's houses,
If a body is dumped at someone else's door, no one will take care of it.
This is what gambling stalls are all about.
Turn something "completely illegal" into a place that is "at least not illegal".
It's just that it's not money that's being laundered.
But people.
Or it can be said that this is not an oversight by "Denisoya Privy Council".
They were the ones who deliberately made Denisoya's situation turn into this.
Because the police need to be reasonable and paid, but pirates don't need to. Since they have begun to hire pirates in large numbers, they might as well use pirates to govern the country. And the "mounted police" are the necks of these "pirate vigilantes"
spiked collar on.
But if the mounted police themselves have too much power, it will also cause problems for themselves... so in the end the real power was given to the horses.
The basis of the power of these horses and beasts is that they belong to the "nobles".
Annan suddenly understood something...
Ya Weng's paintings hatched the paper princess; Ya Weng's sculptures are equally great... So, what is the level of Ya Weng's scripts?
You know, the tragedy writer was once a student of Yaweng.
But Yaweng seems to have no handed down plays.
But now, Annan seems to understand.
The entire United Kingdom in front of him has not been interfered by Yawen. Or it may be because he has not interfered at all, but has given power to them and allowed them to do whatever they want.
Only then can the many desires for power and money deep in the hearts of these "people" be able to stick to themselves and form an absurd "living drama".
These people gathered together, with their hands stained with crime and blood, were like puppets swinging randomly by the threads of desire. Together they staged a puppet show that lasted for hundreds of years.
