Blending of Planes: I am leisurely farming

Chapter 140: Joja Group's Weird Moves

In such a typical small community of acquaintances, Pelican Town's long-term tranquility has meant that no public security incidents have occurred for a long time.

The closed environment restricts the movement of people, and coupled with financial constraints, the town does not even have a police station or sheriff.

Unlike the prevalence of religion in the northern provinces, the southern province of Dockli did not have much religious culture.

Pelican Town is located at the junction of the north and south of the kingdom. Thanks to the natural barrier of the Stardew Mountains, although a small number of residents believe in the god "Yuba", this is only a spontaneous spiritual sustenance of individual residents. A formal religious group has not yet been formed, and naturally there is no priest to preside over order.

In this context, Lewis, as the mayor, was in charge of the town under his jurisdiction. Such a vicious bombing case had occurred, and the responsibility of maintaining public order naturally fell on him.

After gloating in his heart, Lewis suddenly realized the seriousness of the matter and his smile gradually froze.

If the suspect is not just targeting the Joja Group, and other townspeople are affected by this, then as someone who ignored the bombing, when the townspeople react to Morris's tragedy, wouldn't he be the one to draw the fire?

Thinking of this, a few drops of cold sweat appeared on Lewis' dry forehead. He quickly adjusted his mentality and tried to pull Sean to the scene of the incident.

Although Sean was very eager to join the show, he still had to complete the shooting script, so he had to find an excuse to refuse Lewis.

Lewis' political sense is indeed sharp, otherwise he would not have become the mayor.

After parting with Sean, he quickly rushed to the scene of the Joja Group incident.

At this time, the scene of the incident had been cleared by internal personnel. Since Morris, the head of the branch and the only victim, was not there, Qiao Kasta was elected as the temporary head.

Naturally, he was the one who received Lewis.

Qiaocasta is a tall and thin old man with sparse hair that is neatly combed behind his head. Silver single-frame glasses hang high on his hooked nose. His thin and tough face always has a serious expression that never smiles.

He was now sitting in Morris's office chair, which had obviously been rearranged to accommodate his tall stature.

Behind him stood a young man respectfully, and it was obvious that only a confidant could stand in this position.

Lewis took a glance and was slightly surprised that the young man turned out to be Martin, a local resident of Pelican Town.

When Lewis's gaze inadvertently swept over him, Martin's body stiffened involuntarily, and his eyes quickly avoided looking directly at the mayor, as if he was afraid of being pierced through by the other's gaze.

Silence enveloped the entire scene, and no one seemed willing to be the first to break the tranquility.

Finally, Lewis broke the silence and explained his purpose.

However, his words were coldly rejected by Qiaocasta: "This is our internal matter, we will investigate the murderer ourselves. As for the managers of Pelican Town, they also have motives for committing the crime, whether they are covering up or suspected, it has not been clarified yet."

His style is completely opposite to that of Morris the Smiling Tiger

The distrust and determination revealed in Qiaocasta's words made Lewis feel genuinely unhappy.

"Please believe me, I deeply sympathize with Morris's unfortunate experience. Although Morris and I had many conflicts before, in order to maintain the peace and good investment environment of Pelican Town and investigate the truth of this explosion, we are on the same front. Please maintain the exchange of information and add more manpower and more strength." Lewis explained, suppressing the disgust in his heart.

After listening to Lewis' words, Qiaocasta's sharp eyes behind his silver glasses did not soften at all, but remained cold and firm.

He leaned forward slightly and folded his hands on the table, forming an invisible barrier, as if to emphasize the boundary between him and Lewis.

"Mayor Lewis, I understand your responsibilities as the mayor of a town, but please allow me to reiterate that this is an internal matter of the Joja Corporation. We have a professional team that is doing their best to investigate this matter. As for the 'one front' you mentioned, I think that under the current circumstances, our responsibilities and interests are not completely consistent."

Having said that, and with no need to continue the conversation, Lewis walked away.

Soon there was a document posted by Lewis on the bulletin board.

Summary of the document: No one wants to see a bombing happen. He deeply sympathizes with Morris's unfortunate experience. The matter has been fully handled by the Joja Group. Before the Joja Group catches the murderer, residents are urged to be vigilant, pay attention to suspicious people and objects, and avoid acting alone.

Between the lines, Lewis shifted the pressure of solving the case to the Joja Group.

On the other hand, the actions of the Joja Group became strangely quiet, as if the entire explosion had never happened.

At the same time, blasting work will be restarted.

-----------------

Just like that, time turned and a new day came.

Before the morning dew had disappeared, the two beauties arrived at Sean's farm as promised.

Naturally, the three of them discussed what had happened in Pelican Town in the past two days.

Especially Claire, the bomb exploded in the building behind the Joja Chamber of Commerce where she worked, and the victim was her boss.

Some of her colleagues were eyewitnesses of the incident, so Claire was at the forefront of the action. Through her retelling, Sean and Haley had a more intuitive understanding of Maurice's embarrassing situation.

Claire's face turned slightly red as Haley continued to pursue her and described the scene of her boss's plump body with his naked butt sticking out in front of everyone.

Sean and Haley couldn't help but laugh out loud, even though they knew such laughter was a little inappropriate at this time.

The jokes were over, and Sean got down to business:

"Claire, did you see the notice Lewis posted? The murderer has not been caught yet. It is possible that he will commit crimes again. It may be dangerous to stay in Joja Group..."

"Do you want Claire to quit her job? I support you!" Haley interrupted excitedly.

A few days ago, the topic of resignation was brought up again, this time by Sean, citing the reason as for Claire's safety.

"Yeah." Claire nodded slightly. She had figured it out in the past few days. Since she didn't like Joja's job, why not quit her job and do what she liked with Sean and Haley.

"That's great! You can spend the whole day with me tomorrow!" Haley hugged Claire excitedly, "I really want to get a driver's license. I want to take you for a ride."

"Sean, can you drive?" She turned to look at Sean.

"You old driver without a driver's license, do you want to get in my black car?" The past is hard to recall. Now that he has just turned 18, he naturally does not have a driver's license.

"Claire and I, two beautiful little lambs, got on your black car. Who knows what kind of bullying we'd do to them," Haley said half-jokingly.

She pretended to be pitiful and hid in Claire's arms, but there was a hint of provocation in her eyes.

Seeing this, Sean deliberately put on an evil smile, stretched out his hands to make a catching gesture, and muttered: "Hey, the two little lambs can't escape from my palm!"

After saying that, he chased Haley and Claire and ran around in the open space on the farm.

Haley and Claire screamed and laughed while trying to avoid Sean's "capture". As they ran, the three of them unknowingly came to the newly built pond on the farm.

"Wow, Sean, when did you build this pond? It's so beautiful!" Haley stopped and exclaimed.

"What is that? A Capybara! So cute." As expected, women can't resist cute creatures. Claire's attention was attracted by the two capybaras that were in a daze.

"And there's an open-air terrace. I've decided I want to hold the party here." Haley excitedly grabbed Sean's arm.

"It's all right, it's all right, what's mine is yours." Sean agreed readily.

He then briefly explained the origins of the two capybaras and the pond.

The two women were sensible enough not to ask too many questions about how Sean could create such a spectacle in one day, because men always have some secrets.

They believed that Sean would tell them when the time was right.
