Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 1689 £1000
While James John and Bill Simon were meeting, the Metropolitan Police were investigating Valentine's death.

"The results of the forensic autopsy came out. Valentine's body contained a lot of alcohol. Regardless of whether there was any problem with the car, Valentine's death was inseparable from his heavy drinking." Senior Inspector Frank First of the London Police Department Time to report to Commissioner Brian Jones.

The Metropolitan Police Department still attaches great importance to Valentine's accident. Last night, Brian Jones received calls from several members of Congress, asking the Metropolitan Police Department to thoroughly investigate the cause of Valentine's death.

It has to be said that Valentine's death was indeed a bit sensitive at this special point in time, and it stirred up many people's nerves.

It's fine if it's a normal death.

If it is not normal, then many people will be restless. In the past few days, the prince has been exposed to scandals, members of Congress have been investigated, and now a newspaper owner has died unexpectedly. God knows which will come first tomorrow or the accident.

"Is there any problem with the vehicle?" Brian was still concerned about the car.

If the car had been tampered with, Valentine's death must have been no accident.

If not, then the human factor can be ruled out.

"The vehicle has been towed away by Rolls-Royce's after-sales department for a thorough inspection, but the results haven't come out yet." Frank expressed helplessness.

This is very embarrassing, Rolls-Royce has been acquired by Nyasaran Motors, and Lord is also a brand of Nyasaran Motors.

The car involved in the accident was a Lord's car, and now it is being inspected by Rolls-Royce. If you want to know with your heels, the result must be that there is nothing wrong with the car.

Now we can only hope that Rolls-Royce can guarantee a fair position.

But this statement itself sounds unreliable.

"Can't we inspect the cars?" Brian Jones was also helpless. If this matter got out, it would become a scandal for the Metropolitan Police Department. funny.

"Nyasaland Automobile itself is our cooperative unit. All our cars are provided by Nyasaland Automobile. The after-sales service is also in charge of Nyasaland Automobile. Nyasaland Automobile does not let the after-sales department of Lord Automobile It would be nice if the car was towed away—" Frank was also helpless, the London Police Department was still not strong enough compared to a behemoth like the Nyasaran car.

"Can't even find a car manufacturer in the British Isles—" Brian Jones scratched his head angrily.

This can not be blamed on others. In 1865, the United Kingdom passed the "Red Flag Act", which stipulated that three people should drive a car, and one of them must walk 3 meters in front of the car and hold the red flag. The car cannot exceed the red flag, and the speed cannot exceed one hour. four miles.

Four miles, or about 6.4 kilometers.

The biggest impact of the "Red Flag Act" was that the British auto industry had no progress and stagnated for a full 30 years.

By 1896, the United Kingdom finally abolished the "Red Flag Law", but the first-mover advantage in the automobile industry has been completely wiped out, which has led to the fact that there is no British car that can compete with Nyasaran and the American Ford. Auto companies that compete with each other.

It is not that there are no car companies in the UK these years. Unfortunately, as long as the British car companies improve, they will be acquired by the Southern African consortium, such as Rolls-Royce, Bentley, and Land Rover. Now they are all the prey of the Southern African consortium.

So the Metropolitan Police don't want to buy South African cars either.

It's a pity that the Metropolitan Police Department has no choice, at least southern Africa is still a Commonwealth country. If the Metropolitan Police Department chooses a brand outside the Commonwealth of Nations, the consequences will be disastrous.

Frank is helpless, this is really not there.

"The bullet Harriman received, is there any investigation result?" Brian Jones hoped to get something from Harriman.

"The bullet is a .303-inch rifle produced by the Indian arsenal, and billions of such bullets were produced during the world war alone - about the child, we now only know that he is no more than 1.5 meters tall and no more than 15 years old The boy left the letter at the door of the "Manchester Express" and didn't know anything else. There are at least 1926 such children in London—" Frank didn't know much information. In [-], there was no closed-circuit television or monitoring Cameras, finding a boy in a city of millions like London is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack.

"At all costs, we must find him." Brian Jones made up his mind.

"Actually, even if the boy is found, it won't prove anything." Frank didn't hold out much hope. Sending bullets or blades is at most a threat, and even if he finds someone, he can't prove anything.

"So what? What can we do?" Brian Jones had no clue.

"I think we still need to start with Valentine's social relations. Just yesterday morning, the "Manchester Express" published a fierce article criticizing the Commonwealth Games for being suspected of misleading the audience—" Frank had an idea, but Not sure either.

"Wait Frank, do you want to say that the Federal Government of Southern Africa caused Valentine's death?" Brian Jones said seriously.

Frank didn't speak, and his attitude proved everything.

"Let's not talk about whether we have any evidence now, even if there is, this cannot be used as the direction of investigation." Brian Jones can become the police chief not only because of his relationship.

"Our duty is to protect the safety of London residents and uphold justice!" Frank has ideals, and young people don't fully understand the dangers of society.

"Our duty is to serve the British Empire first, and then the residents of London!" Brian Jones was not impulsive, and the edges and corners had already been smoothed.

"Frank, you have to be clear about one thing. Even if the Southern African Federal Government caused Valentine's death, we can only turn a blind eye—" Brian Jones looked up to the sky and sighed, and his blood was cooling down bit by bit.

"Why?" Frank objected.

"I said it just now, because we must first serve the British Empire—" Brian Jones' eyes were complicated, with indifference, firmness, and a little bit of shame: "—we must first safeguard the interests of the British Empire, even if that It is the truth, and we cannot announce it, otherwise it will affect the relationship between the federal government of Southern Africa and the British Empire, which the current British Empire cannot afford."

"So what about Valentine? What about Valentine's family? Shouldn't their interests be protected? We can't let this happen, and the federal government of Southern Africa can't act recklessly in London—" Frank is serious, the overlord Honor cannot be violated.

"Calm down Frank, you can't prove that Valentine's death was caused by the Federal Government of Southern Africa - and I also want to remind you that even if it is true, Valentine's death is their own fault - otherwise what do you think ?Urge Congress to form an expeditionary force to launch a third Boer War, just to get justice for a damn Valentine?" Brian Jones sober.

"We can use other methods—" Frank did not dare to provoke a third Boer War.

"What are you referring to? Trade sanctions on southern Africa? Would that lead to retaliation from southern Africa - or the assassination of a southern African official or two to avenge Valentine? Leaving aside whether that would make sense if we did that , will definitely lead to more brutal revenge in Southern Africa—you and I will both be the targets of revenge in Southern Africa." Brian Jones sneered, if Frank is still obsessed, then Brian Jones can only adjust Frank's position.

To put it bluntly, it is dismissal.

Or stop putting Frank in charge of the case.

Frank didn't speak, with a pained expression on his face.

"I know you are suffering, and I am also suffering, but I hate profiteers who disregard the interests of the country for their own interests. Other newspapers are reporting on the grand occasion of the Commonwealth Games and how majestic the Crown Stadium is. When reporting on the beautiful urban environment of Pretoria—even the gossip news about the prince is fine, why do you want to report what is there? Why do you add tendentious remarks to guide readers? You fucking want to die, Just go to Tower Bridge and jump off, don't drag others to die with you!" Brian Jones yelled, it was really loud.

Frank was silent for a long time.

"Go, go find that boy, do what you can—" Brian Jones' attitude was less firm now, more perfunctory.

Later, the Rolls-Royce after-sales department gave a test report, and Valentine's car had no problems.

Later, the Metropolitan Police Department also issued an identification report. Valentine's death was due to excessive drinking and driving out of control. The car crashed into a roadside building and caused the car to explode and catch fire. Valentine was burned alive.

This result made many people breathe a sigh of relief.

It's okay if it's an accident.

If it is not murder, it means that a certain federal government still has a bottom line and is still a model member of the Commonwealth of Nations.

Valentine's family members did not accept this result, but later on the 19th, a business manager of Prudential Investment Credit Insurance Company visited Valentine's wife Monica and persuaded Monica to accept the result .

"We deeply regret Mr. Valentine's tragedy. Out of humanitarianism, we can give Mr. Valentine some compensation, but this is not compensation. Mr. Valentine drank a lot of alcohol when the accident happened. According to our insurance company's It is stipulated that no compensation will be paid for any accident in this situation." The business manager is serious, and Valentine's car insurance is purchased from the Prudential Group.

"That is to say, if you don't accept this result, you won't even have these compensations—" Monica looked sad. Since Valentine's accident, "Manchester Express" has not been published again, and Monica's family has lost their source of income.

"Yes, if you insist that your husband died of murder, then this is a criminal case and we cannot make compensation." The business manager took out a check and gently placed it on the table in front of Monica.

The figure above is £1000.
