After the police showed up, the noise from the crowd gradually disappeared.

Since Napoleon personally founded the Paris Police Department in 1800, it has a history of more than 100 years.

During this period, the system was continuously reformed and improved, but some local police stations are still autonomous and have great powers.

People are smart enough not to discuss it, for fear of suffering unreasonable disasters.

Russell supported Mrs. Brown and turned to stare at the two policemen standing in front of the crowd.

They were scanning the ground for the three people who were wailing and unconscious.

A fat police officer asked Brown: "Madam, are you sure they are gangsters?"

Mrs. Brown looked up at Russell tremblingly and saw that he was smiling at her and deliberately stabbed her arm with the gun under his arm.

He nodded with fear in his eyes: "Yes, yes."

The two police officers looked at each other and said with a fat smile: "Since they are gangsters, which kind person surrendered them?"

Mrs. Brown pointed to Russell, who was supporting her, "That's this gentleman."

"Oh! One to three, sir, your skills are very good. Madam, are you willing to provide a confession to prove their crimes?"

Mrs. Brown stared at the ground, wailed, and passed out. The three of them were in a daze.

She is from Missouri, USA. She started working at the age of 13 and married a mining supervisor in Denver, Colorado at the age of 19.

At the age of 26, the Browns discovered gold mines and became partners in the mining company, and they have been prosperous ever since!

After she became a rich man, she began to actively engage in charity, helping poor women, children and miners. She was also one of the first women to run for Congress in American history.

However, these social activities were strongly opposed by her husband, and the two separated in 1909. From then on, she began to travel around the world.

Not long ago, I heard that her family was seriously ill, so she decided to take the Titanic back to the United States to visit her family.

The three followers on the ground have followed her around for more than two years. With her kind heart, it is absolutely impossible for her to do anything to harm them.

But the real gangster was the man who supported and held her hostage. He was very skilled and had a gun in his arms.

If she screams for help, what if the gangster pulls out a gun and kills her? Even if two police officers are present, it may not help.

The end result shouldn't be too good...

Seeing Mrs. Brown's delay in replying, Russell knew that she had concerns.

He turned his head and whispered: "Madam, I just want to board the ship, and I don't mean to hurt anyone. If you are smart enough, you should know how to answer."

Mrs. Brown's heart skipped a beat when she heard the sound.

Her eyes were red, and she stared blankly at the two police officers and said: "Two gentlemen, I don't want to hold them responsible. My security consultant has already solved the matter... But, gentlemen, can you send them to the hospital for treatment?

I, I am willing to pay..."

"Five dollars!"

Russell interrupted in time.

When people heard this, they immediately became commotion, and the two police officers also smiled.

Mrs. Brown was a little confused. The price she wanted to quote was ten dollars...

According to the price in 1912, 5 US dollars was equivalent to 1 pound, which is equivalent to 70 pounds today, enough to buy half a month's worth of food for five people.

At this time, the average wage in the United States was 22 cents per hour, and the annual income was about 300 US dollars, which was about 60 pounds.

This is also the reason for the commotion in the crowd. One pound is equivalent to two weeks' salary for poor people like them.

The two police officers were happy because they showed their faces and earned an extra $5, which was like free money.

Mrs. Brown took out the banknotes from her handbag, and Russell immediately took them, walked up to the police officers and stuffed the banknotes into their pockets.

"Hard."

The fat police officer said with a smile: "It's a small matter. It's very wise for my wife to ask you to be a security consultant. I can see that you are very skilled. Please also tell my wife that they will be sent to the hospital."

Russell nodded.

Some discerning people knew that Mrs. Brown was a wealthy person. Most of the wealthy people in this period were aristocrats, with only a small number of nouveau riche.

But the nouveau riche are not something they can cause!

The police officer pointed casually into the crowd, named six porters, and asked them to carry the three people onto the carriage and take them to the hospital.

Give me money? Five US dollars divided in half, and the remaining US$1 is to treat my colleagues in the police force to drinks.

Besides, the security of the entire dock is managed by their team. The porters are eager to be commanded. This is an honor!

The crowd dispersed as soon as there was no excitement to be seen, so they went about their business.

The three female attendants on the boat were slumped on the board in a daze. They also wanted to protect their wife's safety, but their bodies did not obey their orders at all and could only make a 'wow' sound.

On the shore, Mrs. Brown watched Russell slowly approach, but her feet seemed to be stuck to the ground and could not move.

For a moment, he was extremely anxious. He waved his hands and shook his head in fear, "Don't, don't hurt me..."

Russell felt a little helpless when he heard this. He knew that he would be misunderstood, but he did not expect that Mrs. Brown was still immersed in the danger of being robbed.

"Mrs. Brown, I am the security consultant you hired. I have just been recognized by the police and we have legal protection."

Mrs. Brown was slightly startled, "I, but I...how much do you need?"

"How much does it cost? How about a daily salary of 1 US dollars, and oh, there is also a boat ticket. Please don't worry, since I have taken over your business, I will send you to the United States safely."

She blinked and wondered: "Just the boat ticket and $1?"

"It's cheap, isn't it?"

"…Yes."

Mrs. Brown thought he would open his mouth like a lion, but she didn't expect that his monthly salary was only 30 US dollars, which is about the same as the average salary in the United States.

He couldn't even keep up with the three male attendants who were sent to the hospital. Each of them had a monthly salary of 40 US dollars.

"Are you really not a robber?"

Mrs. Brown was still frightened.

Russell's style of doing things just now really scared her.

Russell said with a smile: "I just want to go to the United States and find a part-time job at the same time, because I am penniless now. However, madam, you can rest assured that I love what I do, and there is no more professional security consultant than me in the world."

Mrs. Brown was relieved after hearing this. She took out 50 US dollars from her handbag and handed it to Russell.

"too much."

"The money is to pay your expenses in advance."

"Madam, do you know why those people call you nouveau riche?"

Mrs. Brown was stunned, "Why?"

"Because you are generous enough."

Russell took the banknote and said: "It is a reasonable price to give the two police officers $5 just now. They will help us deal with the trouble because of their special status.

So each of them can share 2 dollars, and the remaining 1 dollar can be used to treat colleagues to drinks or breakfast.

But if you tip the waiter $1 at a noble party, then you will be despised by the nobles because you disrupt the market!

You spend 1 dollar on something that can be done for 10 cents. Where do you put the shame of those down-and-out aristocrats who pride themselves on being noble?"

Mrs. Brown nodded slightly. She actually felt that Russell's words made sense.

"Are you really an explorer?"

"Yes, without a doubt."

In the Titanic movie, Molly Brown is one of the few survivors.

The reason why she won the praise of "The Unsinkable Mrs. Brown" was not because of her good performance during the shipwreck, but because after she returned to the United States, she served as the president of the Titanic Survivors Committee and actively raised funds.

Funds were given to survivors in second and third classes to help them survive the most difficult period.

And what about the proud nobles who survived? They didn't do anything.

During the escape, because they were greedy for life and afraid of death, they rushed to urge the crew members to move down before the lifeboat was full. I don’t know how many people were killed!

Therefore, Russell respects Mrs. Brown very much and uses force only to improve efficiency, because force is sometimes the easiest way to clear customs.

He chatted with Mrs. Brown for a while, gradually dispelling her vigilance, and fully believed that Russell was in a hurry to go to the United States, and had no choice but to do such a thing because he had no money.

With Mrs. Brown's kindness, she convinced herself without Russell having to explain too much.

The three female attendants also relaxed, but when they looked at Russell, they were still a little scared.

Not long after, a small boat appeared on the sea, with two people on board, wearing the crew uniforms of the White Star Line.

Mrs. Brown had a brief exchange with the crew, and then the crew let them get on the boat and tow the boat with the luggage away with a rope.

The boat slowly sailed towards the Titanic.

The closer we get, the more we feel it is a pity that she sank in the Atlantic Ocean.

While Russell was looking at the huge hull, he saw a man standing next to the railing on the bow deck.

He recognized her identity at a glance.

Ruth DeWitt Bukater!
