Chapter 82, life-preserving charm = life-saving charm
Falling to the dust overnight, ordinary people must not be able to stand it. At this moment, in the Tarot prison in the Alps, there is a large group of frustrated people.
In the face of the crisis, these well-dressed bigwigs are not much better than ordinary people.
Even after entering prison, many people still do not accept the reality. Loud, angry, threatening, inducements...... All kinds of strange tricks are here.
Leo Cohen was an exception, crouching quietly in the corner and quietly watching the crowd perform.
As one of the richest members of the Jewish community, and indeed in the world, Leo Cohen is well-informed and has experienced all kinds of storms and waves.
Being able to go all the way and defeat many competitors, in addition to being ruthless, is more dependent on keen judgment.
Before the outbreak of the Revolution of 1848, when the capitalists were in the midst of a final revelry, LÊo Cohen sensed the danger and decisively chose to lurk.
Even taking care of the family business, he hid behind his back and controlled it remotely, and after the hoarding incident, he did not wait for Austria to settle accounts, and he did not hesitate to launch a scapegoat and bear all the charges.
When the Vienna government settled accounts in the autumn, Leo Cohen secretly handed over the evidence of his peers' crimes.
It was thanks to the collapse of his peers and the opportunity for a gap in the market that LÊo-Cohen rose to become one of the largest retailers and wholesalers in Austria.
Then, according to the model operation of capital, the company's operation and listing circle money were cashed out, and then transformed into the banking industry.
To be precise, the loan shark industry, Leo Cohen's banks do not engage in ordinary commercial loans, but specialize in buying and selling while the fire is hot.
In order to seek greater profits, Leo Cohen even entered the casino and drug industries, opening the way to a rapid fortune.
Looking at Leo Cohen's life resume, it is like a villain protagonist who has single-handedly developed an ordinary small Jewish family into one of the top Jewish giants in Europe.
Unfortunately, there is always a time when luck runs out. As soon as the European anti-Semitic movement spread to Austria, it immediately attracted the attention of Leo Cohen.
There was no choice to run away, it was because the situation in Austria was stable and there were no signs of large-scale anti-Semitism.
Then, it came in. Leo Cohen didn't figure out how he got in until he was back in jail.
The network of contacts that he has established on a regular basis, not to mention providing him with safe shelter, has not even issued the most basic warning of danger.
Although Austria is very strict about corruption, this is not difficult for big capitalists like Leo Cohen.
Direct bribery is not possible, but no one can stop the indirect benefit transfer. Especially if you have your own bank, it is even more difficult to be regulated.
Leo Cohen was able to navigate the gray area of sin and create such a large foundation by trading power under the transfer of interests.
After trading for a long time, they have also caught each other's handles, and now everyone is a grasshopper on a rope.
If something happens to Leo Cohen, it can drag everyone into the water, and according to the current laws of the Austrian government, no one can try to escape.
It is with enough chips in his hand that Leo Cohen will not be able to figure out why he has become an outcast.
At this time, a middle-aged police sergeant and several prison guards walked in, picked up batons and carried out a punch and kick suppression against the chaotic crowd.
Before Leo Cohen could rejoice that he had escaped, the middle-aged sheriff scolded, "No matter what your identity is outside, you are all a criminal when you come here."
If you want to get out of here alive, then be honest with me! Otherwise, if something happens, you will be responsible for all the consequences. â
The sheriff's clamor is not without reason, and the Tarot prison in the Alps still has a name - the gates of hell.
Those who are eligible to be imprisoned here are those who have been conclusively proven, and are waiting for the final verdict of the court.
Generally speaking, those who enter here, even if they are not sentenced to death, will be sentenced to at least 30 years of labor reform.
Naturally, the prison guards do not need to be polite to these felons. The so-called leaving alive is nothing more than a transfer from this prison to the Middle East or Africa, where conditions are even worse.
Hearing the middle-aged sheriff's warning, Leo Cohen knew that things were going to go bad.
There is only one reason why prison guards can not care about their lives, and that is that they will all be executed. Only when it is certain that they will be sentenced to death, no one cares how they died.
Seeing that everyone was quiet, the middle-aged sheriff nodded with satisfaction and said slowly: "Who is Leo Cohen, who is here to visit the prison." â
Everyone's eyes were on Leo Cohen, they were all mixed in a circle, even if they didn't know him, they were all familiar with each other.
In this situation, there are still people who do not avoid suspicion and dare to come over to visit the prison, which is definitely a friend of life and death.
Looking at the envious and jealous expressions on everyone's faces, Leo Cohen could only secretly bitter.
You must know that he has just been arrested, even if there are relatives and friends who do not avoid suspicion and are willing to rush over to visit, it is absolutely impossible to come over to visit.
So the identity of the people who come to see it now is self-evident. Leo Cohen can hear very clearly that it is "prison visit" rather than "bail", and the meaning of one word is very different.
Seeing that the middle-aged sheriff's face showed impatience, Leo Cohen, who was good at observing words and feelings, hurriedly got up and replied: "Mr. Sheriff, I am Leo Cohen, may I ask what ......it is?"
Before Leo Cohen could finish speaking, the middle-aged sheriff interrupted: "If you let you pass, you will go, where is so much nonsense." â
Curiosity kills cats, this is Manur's experience accumulated over the years of work, and Manuel never asks about things that should not be asked.
Bringing the apprehensive Leo Cohen to the reception room, Manuel decisively chose to flash people, and even the prison guards in charge of guarding were evacuated a hundred meters.
Leo Cohen, who had no confidence, was the first to ask: "Sir Ryders, how is the situation outside?" â
Ryders shook his head, "It's a very bad situation, Mr. Leo. So far, thousands of people have been imprisoned.
In recent years, you have gone too far, and many people have looked at you unpleasantly, and now there are a lot of people who have fallen into the ground.
As old friends, we will find a way to get you out, but the current situation is a bit complicated, and we must control the situation first and try not to let the situation escalate.
If the situation gets out of hand, you also need to prepare for the worst. Of course, this is only if, and the likelihood of it happening is very small.
You should know how strong we are, and even if the situation gets out of control, we will make sure that your family will not be implicated, and if necessary, we will send them abroad. â
Hearing this answer, Leo Cohen's whole face was like ashes. Ryders seems to be comforting, but in fact he is warning him, clearly telling him: talking nonsense will kill the whole family.
I can't get out of the house until I have been tried by the court, and it is even more impossible to get out after I have been convicted.
Not a single suspect can be fished out, and it is even more useless to catch a convicted felon. It's not a question of whether you want to or not, it's that no one can do it at all.
Unless Franz personally issued the pardon, the release of the offender without permission is punishable under Austrian law.
Even if there are officials who dare to take risks, the people below do not dare to carry it out.
There are too many people involved, and if there is a problem in any part of the process, all the participants will be finished together.
This is a lesson from the past, there was a classic case a few years ago, a second generation directly pit more than 100 people.
This wave is lucky, if it is a death row prisoner who is released, and everyone has to accompany him to hell, it will be a tragedy.
I've heard a lot of similar cases, and Leo Cohen doesn't think he's qualified to let the bigwigs behind him risk their lives to save them.
"Don't worry, Sir Rydes, I'm not going to trouble you. But the situation here is a bit complicated, I'm afraid I can't stand this small body, you see if you can help say hello. â
There is no way, I can't get out for a while, so I can only find a way to make my life better.
Ryders smiled slightly: "No problem, we'll deal with it." Mr. Leo, if you have any needs, you can tell the prison guards directly, as long as they can be met, we will provide them. â
The brief visit ended, and Rides breathed a sigh of relief. It's good not to talk nonsense, otherwise the problem will be exposed, and they may not be able to hold on to it.
After much hesitation, Ryders made a decision deep down: "This Leo Cohen can't stay. â
