Walk alone in the abyss

How can this be...

The parade people directly killed a hereditary earl?

Before Yang Ming saw the live video produced by Li, his head was full of question marks.

Of course he knows that demonstrations will inevitably be mixed with violent elements, and thousands of people have been injured and arrested in some areas.

But these clashes basically took place between militants in the parade and local security forces.

Those big nobles either sent a large number of security guards to protect their houses, or simply had their own private soldiers to deter the parade crowd with force; even some weaker big nobles would take the initiative to hide in some remote places when the parade broke out. Residential.

The hereditary earl who was killed by the parade belongs to the middle way and has no title?

The truth is just the opposite.

Along with the murder video, which was sent to Yang Ming, there was also the detailed information of the deceased.

Marlowe Quigan, the hereditary earl of the empire, owns a small fiefdom. Although the administrative star where the fiefdom is located is not considered rich, the conditions are not bad. Years of accumulation have allowed Earl Quigan to have a strong family background.

Like many aristocratic families, Qui-Gon didn't like living in his own narrow territory. ——It is very rare in today's empire to be rewarded directly with a planet like Yang Ming, mainly because the Saka planet at that time was a waste of time.

Earl Quigan has lived in Yaha for a long time and owns many private properties in Yaha. The company group under his name involves media, culture, mineral trade and other resources.

To put it simply, Qui-Gon himself is a wealthy and noble family, and has good popularity and high reputation among the noble class.

The sudden accident of such a person is very likely to trigger a rebound from the noble class.

Yang Ming clicked on that video, and watched it calmly and quickly.

At the very beginning of the video, Earl Quigan stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, talking and laughing happily with several business partners.

Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows is the bustling street scene, where the bustling crowd held up lights, souvenirs, and markers related to the white ghost, and chanted slogans such as "Heroes are innocent".

Earl Quigan seemed to find the scene in front of him very interesting, and took a few pictures of the street scene below with his network access terminal.

The source of this video is the surveillance video outside the street, which cannot capture the indoor panorama.

Then, Earl Quigan seemed to have seen something suddenly, turned his head and shouted twice, and smashed the cup in his hand towards the far corner.

Dazed and confused, the two friends next to him stepped forward to ask Earl Quiggan what was wrong.

Earl Quigan pushed the two people in front of him away, rushed to the rear as if fleeing for his life, and entered the safety elevator in a panic.

More than a dozen strong and fat private guards armed with 'limited power' laser pistols loyally guarded Earl Quigan, but they could only hear the Earl's heavy breathing, and the constant roar.

The video screen is transformed into a monitoring perspective in the building, and the whole process is seamlessly connected.

Earl Quigan rushed to the street, as if he wanted to take advantage of the dense crowd in front of him to avoid something; the guards obeyed the order of the Earl, and forcibly separated the crowd, which attracted complaints from the surrounding people one after another.

In this incident, the weirdest scene appeared:

Earl Quigan's legs suddenly became weak, and he was supported by the guards around him before he fell down. Then the Earl seemed to be enraged, and cursed at the demonstrators around him.

"You untouchables!"

"Don't come here!"

"You guys! I'm a nobleman! I'm an earl! Stay away from me!"

The people surrounded them ferociously.

A passionate street hand-to-hand battle staged

Facing the large crowd, the guards didn't dare to actually shoot even if they drew out their laser pistols.

The chaos lasted for less than half a minute. Accompanied by a woman's scream, Earl Quigan, who was surrounded and slapped several times, lay motionless on the ground.

After being sent to the hospital for emergency treatment, he died after invalidation.

...

"has a problem."

Yang Ming pushed his glasses that did not exist.

Ritsu's voice came out of the hidden earphones:

"It's not just that there are problems, it should be said that there are too many problems, but it has an inexplicable convincing power."

"Looking at the situation, someone may have tampered with what Earl Quigan drank. He suddenly lost control and acted extremely frightened. He may have taken psychotropic drugs."

Yang Ming seriously analyzed:

"Although I didn't watch every detail of the video carefully, I did notice when Earl Quigan was being beaten together with his guards.

"The guards dutifully kept Earl Quigan behind him, and Earl Quigan only suffered two or three blows that were not serious, which shouldn't be fatal.

"There are too many flaws, this is obviously designed by someone to kill him."

"Yes, boss," Li said with a smile, "I checked the records of that hospital, and the diagnosis records inside had traces of modification. The initial diagnosis was that the toxin caused death, and the brain shrank rapidly, but it was sent to the local security team. The report was changed to a neurological stress response caused by an intracranial impact, and ultimately the rescue could not be successful because the proportion of neuron necrosis was too high."

"Bad homicide."

Yang Ming made an attributive sentence.

Law said: "But boss, the impact of this murder case is very bad for the empire, especially at this juncture."

"You think it was done by the CIA? Or by other forces?"

"Uh, I feel...like we did..."

"What the hell?"

"The timing is perfect, Boss," Lil said in admiration, "Look, we first took advantage of your influence and the arrogance in the bones of the Sherman family to create two steps, the public opinion war and the parade, and then... Isn't it just right and natural that a panic event will trigger the confrontation between the nobles and the common people?"

Yang Ming wondered, "You did it?"

"No, boss, I'm just so emotional."

The law returns to normal in a second:

"What interests me more is not the neurotoxin, but the speed of transmission of this event.

"Obviously, someone created a very inflammatory rumor that a hereditary earl of the empire was beaten to death by the parade crowd, which unleashed panic on the noble class, and then spread the rumor at a very fast speed, and In the shortest period of time, portals and social networks in every corner of the empire have spread.

"This efficiency is about the same as mine."

Yang Ming leaned back: "You mean, this might be done by reason?"

"It's very possible, boss," Law said softly, "otherwise, it's impossible to explain why the speed of the spread of this incident is so amazing. Our resources have not been mobilized, and there is no movement from the CIA. If we use the method of elimination, we can only That's right, boss."

Yang Ming frowned and thought.

The door to the side room was suddenly pulled open, and the light-shielding film around Yang Ming's body dissipated at the same time.

Daphne's pretty face turned pale, her breathing was heavy, she stared at Yang Ming with tired eyes: "Something happened again, Hanton."

"What's up?"

"A count was killed by a procession!"

Yang Ming nodded calmly.

Miss, the news is too late.

...

The vehicle of human social history occasionally has disastrous consequences due to the loosening of a screw.

Like this murder of 'Lord Quiggan'.

When future generations study the impact of this murder case, they will inevitably sigh and admire a few words.

Not more than ten minutes after Earl Quigan's death, the scene of him being beaten by a crowd of demonstrators on the street appeared in every corner of the unified network in the empire.

For a time, the aristocratic class was excited.

In many places in the Emperor Star circle, exclusive parades for the noble class appeared.

Hundreds of nobles in the empire immediately mobilized a large number of private soldiers and asked the local governors to quell the local riots as soon as possible.

Conflicts;

Conflict escalates.

The originally peaceful parade suddenly seemed to have changed, and the frontal collision between the security team and the marchers intensified.

On the Internet, some people pointed out that the real cause of Earl Quigan's death probably had little to do with the beating of civilians, and Earl Quigan had many abnormalities.

But this argument was immediately besieged by the nobles.

‘This is justifying the mob! '

‘These civilians are protecting civilians, and their purpose is to overthrow the empire, establish a so-called democracy, and take away everything we have. '

'Unite! Nobles of the Empire unite! Our aristocratic status was bought by our ancestors with blood and sweat! '

Arguments like this quickly filled the entire network.

Before the imperial officials had time to respond, the fire had already started a prairie fire.

The aristocrats ordered their private soldiers to fire guns at the people to demonstrate, the aristocratic private soldiers acted as security forces to forcibly dismiss the parade, and the aristocrats used small ships to release tear gas on the parade people...

New casualties have emerged.

If we say that the previous public opinion war and the subsequent dispute between the White Ghost and the Sherman family belonged to a slow fire;

The scene that is happening now is definitely a raging fire.

The conflict intensified.

The nobles and commoners quickly began fighting.

The streets of the prosperous cities of the empire have become smoky, violent suppression has become more and more frequent, and the resistance of the people has become more intense.

At this time, the official rushed to the frontline battlefield in time.

However, they might as well not end.

The official empire, that is, the government affairs department of the empire and the local security department of Yaha star issued a joint announcement, announcing that all the people who participated in the siege and beating of Earl Quigan would be arrested. People who appeared on the street at that time needed to actively cooperate with the sheriff's work.

The imperial officials had a clear line and chose to support the aristocratic class.

As soon as this news came out, the network in the empire almost collapsed.

More and more people are flocking to the online world.

The original parade of 'supporting the heroes of the empire' has also become a parade of 'protecting the brave'.

Driven by an unknown force behind them, the voices of the people are highly consistent—to protect those compatriots who beat Earl Quigan, and to implement comprehensive supervision of the imperial nobles.

The nobles didn't believe in the official and muddy ways at all. After they clearly felt the crisis of survival, they quickly began to huddle together to keep warm, and demanded that the empire deal with those 'assassins' strictly and maintain the dignity of the imperial nobles.

With a snap, Yang Ming, who had been the absolute protagonist in the past 24 hours, instantly became a supporting role in the public opinion world.

The great thunder of the relationship between nobles and civilians within the empire has a tendency to explode completely because of the death of Earl Quigan.
