Chapter 435 It’s Time to Build a Snowman

The police arrived very quickly, arriving at the scene within five minutes of the alarm being called.

This is not because the German police are efficient, but because the road was blocked by heavy snow, so the German police and road administration departments rushed here early in the morning to participate in the rescue.

But to be honest, German police are more responsible and elite than French police.

Unlike France, the police force is a very popular profession among young people in Germany, so the selection process is very strict. Not to mention the federal police, even for state police, the general selection ratio is about ten to one. The enthusiasm of young Germans to become police officers is about the same as that of Chinese people to join the military.

Thanks to them, Germany has always had good public security. However, with the increasing number of refugees in recent years, now exceeding two million, the security situation has become more severe. Crime rates in Germany are currently skyrocketing, and 92% of the increase is related to refugees.

This made the common people quite unbearable, so they also started to organize parades for no reason like their neighbors.

But it is really difficult to improve this situation.

In the eyes of some people, refugees really bring more benefits than disadvantages.

First of all, the arrival of these refugees has brought countless businesses: first of all, their pillar industry is the social welfare industry, which goes without saying. Legal aid for refugees, medical institutions, etc. all make money; the other is the construction industry - refugee camps to accommodate refugees require buildings, right?

Construction isn't profitable? Just ask the builders in China.

Moreover, Germany has such good welfare that refugees all have money.

This money is provided by the government, and refugees receive free food, lodging, healthcare, education, and cash. While it's only a few hundred euros per month, it's free money for those who don't have to work. Refugees have money to spend, right? This can further stimulate consumption.

Crucially, these refugees can also generate significant votes and support. Germany and France hold the largest Muslim populations in Europe, with the two countries almost neck and neck. These votes are incredibly important!

As for the social and public security problems brought about by the refugees, these interests have been overshadowed. Whether the future German government can enjoy the blessings of its predecessors is uncertain, but it will certainly shoulder the responsibilities left by its predecessors.

But let me be frank: Public security in Germany's major cities is worse than it used to be, but it's still good in smaller cities. This is because the refugees are mostly concentrated in the major cities. Police in smaller cities are still proactive and responsible. They worked with road maintenance workers to reach the trapped area early this morning.

This blizzard came too suddenly. Although the snow has subsided now, according to the weather forecast, the weather may deteriorate again. Relevant personnel from the road administration department are planning to open the highway isolation belt to clear a road off the highway and rescue those trapped on the highway.

However, considering the need to find suitable roads to clear the snow, this project will take approximately three to five days. The relevant departments were helpless with the snow on the ground, and all they could do was distribute basic food. Fearing looting, the police also joined the effort.

Don't even mention foreigners being of higher quality. Based on Xiao Peng's long experience abroad, I do think foreigners are better than Chinese people in some areas, like small habits. However, this is relative. People here are more difficult to discipline. As one public intellectual put it, "they pursue a more free life."

The policemen rushed over after receiving the alarm. Xiao Peng thought they took the case seriously, but it turned out that there was an old lady following them, who kept chattering and wouldn't give in.

These policemen are also helpless.

It wasn't easy for them to get through this heavy snow. The police officers had to walk through the snow early in the morning. Then, they ran into an elderly woman who, after a long conversation, simply said: "Why didn't you take appropriate measures? So many people are stuck on the highway!"

The police were also helpless. "You shouldn't be asking us about this, right? You should be asking the weather department! If the highway was closed too late, that's the responsibility of the road administration department, not us police!"

The old lady didn't care about this and still wanted an "explanation" from the police, otherwise she would complain to them.

The police are helpless too. If you insist on filing a complaint, then go ahead. Even if it goes to court, it has nothing to do with us.

When the old lady saw that this was not a solution, she made a second request: You have to take me away from here.

That's fine! You just have to walk with us. The old lady got angry again. What the hell? Who said I only let you take me out? Can't you see my car is still here? You have to find a way to get my car out too!

The police were stunned: "Get your car out? How? Let us carry it out for you?"

They were helpless when they met such people. They couldn't beat them, scold them, or arrest them. What they feared most was dealing with such old men and women. Xiao Peng's call to the police saved them. They came directly to Xiao Peng.

This case really isn't that difficult to handle. The evidence is solid, and the amount involved is enormous. Getting into someone else's car and then assaulting them? Did Liang Jingru give you the courage? This is already considered violent robbery, okay? And that girl, she kindly invited you into her car to escape the cold, but she didn't allow you to touch anything in the car or invite others to come.

So the matter was handled simply: they calculated the damage to the car and took the two women who had started to get on the car and the two men Walter had knocked down back to investigate. The rest was left to the court and the lawyers.

In fact, the police also tried to smooth things over.

Logically, everyone on the bus should have taken responsibility for the damage, as the "contaminated carpet" was their fault. But the police still removed them. Fabian is French, after all—regional protectionism exists everywhere in the world.

At first, they even planned to make a big deal out of a small matter, but this idea was quickly rejected by themselves: Xiao Peng had already posted this matter on the Internet.

Xiao Peng is now considered something of an internet celebrity, with the added bonus of being a billionaire. Plus, his new documentary has given him a wave of publicity, so he's still quite popular online. Once he reported this incident, the German police had no choice but to investigate. Focusing on these four individuals was the culmination of their efforts.

Walter's family and Fabian eventually joined the police. Walter and Fabian had to cooperate with the police investigation, while Tom had to go to the hospital for further treatment. Xiao Peng was left alone in the huge RV, feeling lonely.

Hmm? Time to build a snowman!
