Chapter 446 Reflection (Debt Repayment No.14 Update)

The most exciting news in Johannesburg in November was that a member of Parliament was shot dead in the street.

"This should have been an accident. Witnesses confirmed that Congressman Bruce Hughes had a conflict with a drunk on the way home, and then the drunk directly shot and killed Congressman Bruce Hughes. We are now hunting down the murderer. , as long as he is still in Johannesburg, we will catch him sooner or later." Police Chief Harry Spencer reported to Mayor Philip immediately.

Harry Spencer also laid an ambush in his words. In this era, as long as the murderer is not caught on the spot, once he absconds, he is looking for a needle in a haystack.

"It's not an accident at all, it's an intentional murder! It's a damn murder!" Arnold was also there, and he didn't agree with Harry Spencer's conclusion.

Harry Spencer didn't argue, and looked at Arnold with the eyes of an idiot. Case detection is the job of the police department, and the conclusions given by the police department can be overturned at will. Well, if you have the ability, go and find out the truth.

"Enough about Arnold, this is not your concern." Although Philip knew that there were many doubts, he could only choose to trust Harry Spencer at this time.

"Father, this is definitely not an accident. Congressman Bruce Hughes has always been kind to people and never had conflicts with others, so this must be murder. Someone deliberately murdered Congressman Bruce Hughes." Arnold did not give up. There are two or three kittens and puppies, and Bruce Hughes is still a banner of the Socialist Party. Now that Bruce Hughes died, whether it was murder or not, if the case cannot be solved as soon as possible, it will definitely affect the unity and reputation of the Socialist Party.

The reason why Rock and Owen would rather find a scapegoat than suppress the case last time was also based on this reason.

If this case can't be solved, it means that the Socialist Party can't even protect its members. The last time the Liberal Party just died a small employee, but this time it was a member of parliament. The two are not of the same weight at all.

"Director Spencer, we must catch the murderer as soon as possible and solve the case." Philip still made a request to Harry Spencer, but the wording was also very careful, just "as soon as possible" rather than "no".

"Okay, I'll try my best." Harry Spencer understood, as the chief of police, it was his duty to solve the case, but Harry Spencer really couldn't guarantee anything.

If the topic ends here, then everything is still under control.

However, Arnold still has extra problems: "It can't be as much as possible, it should be necessary, immediately, immediately!"

Harry Spencer, no matter how good-tempered he was, couldn't stand such idiots, so Harry Spencer's counterattack was equally sharp.

"I'm the chief of police. I don't need you to teach me how to do it." Harry Spencer stood up and was about to leave. Although the Matilda family is powerful in Johannesburg, the Spencer family is powerful in the entire British Empire. who!

What's more, Arnold can't represent the Matilda family at all.

"Because you are the police chief, it is your duty to ensure the law and order in Johannesburg." Arnold immediately went online.

"Why don't you be the Chief of Police?" Harry Spencer didn't care much about the position of Chief of Police because of the big tree of the Spencer family, so he blurted out this kind of words.

Arnold didn't expect Harry Spencer to be so direct, and his face was turning red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Enough of Arnold, you have to learn to respect others." Philip had to intervene, otherwise the conflict is expected to escalate.

"Then he must first be worthy of my respect!" Arnold also blurted out.

Harry Spencer was as cold as ice at this time, and said to Arnold coldly before leaving: "Very well, Senator Arnold, you have now successfully won my 'respect'—"

Only then did Arnold realize what he had just said.

Arnold is too arrogant a lot of times. The current Matilda family really looks like a bunch of flowers. Philip is the mayor of Johannesburg, Owen is the speaker of the parliament, and he himself is a member of the parliament. The Tilda family seems to have a hand in Johannesburg.

But when zoomed in to the entire southern Africa, and to the entire British Empire, the Matilda family is nothing. In the eyes of behemoths like the Spencer family, the Matilda family is just a shabby settlement in the colony, but it is a pity that Arnold did not Realizing this problem, his vision and heart have been filled with Johannesburg, and he can no longer hold anything else.

"Arnold, I want you to resign from the parliament and return to Matilda. Without my order, you are not allowed to leave Matilda—" Philip felt infinitely sad when he said these words, and he finally came to this step , Philip once pinned infinite hopes on Arnold. How high was Philip's hope for Arnold at that time, and now Philip is so disappointed in Arnold.

"No, father, you can't do this—" Arnold was terrified, and was sent back to Matilda, which meant that he was imprisoned and became the reproductive machine of the Matilda family.

This is something that Arnold cannot accept anyway. London cannot satisfy Arnold's ambitions now. The Matilda family is so powerful in Johannesburg. What Arnold wants now is power, and money can no longer satisfy Arnold's desire.

"Sorry, I don't want to do this either, but what you're doing now really disappoints me, and you need to reflect on yourself." Philip never thought that Arnold would become what he is now.

When he was in his hometown, Arnold was still able to behave himself. After arriving in Johannesburg, Arnold's true nature began to gradually reveal.

This is actually quite normal. In London, Baron Matilda is just a very inconspicuous little nobleman in the British Empire. He doesn't have much power, so he can only behave with his tail between his legs.

When he arrived in Johannesburg, Baron Matilda became the most powerful official in Johannesburg. Arnold was like a child in a family of nouveau riche, who was dazzled by the sudden increase in power and wealth, and began to become unreasonable.

"Father, I didn't make any mistakes in this matter. It is not me who should reflect, but the person who made this case!" Arnold argued, he still didn't understand why Philip wanted him back to Matilda , this is not his punishment, but his protection.

Leaving aside the Spencer family behind Harry Spencer, Harry Spencer is the chief of police in Johannesburg, who really dares to offend easily?

Philip didn't want to see that one day Arnold would be shot in the street, just like Bruce Hughes is now.

"Who are you talking about? Locke and Owen? Be rational, they may hate you and Bruce Hughes, but they won't do it because you are not worthy of them." Philip was really disappointed. Now Arnold doesn't realize where he went wrong.

"You always stand in their position, you are all in their position, why don't you listen to what I'm saying?" Arnold's emotions are also on the verge of collapse, maybe Arnold himself didn't realize it, He was actually afraid.

Just as Philip was worried, despite the identity of the Matilda family, Arnold, like Bruce Hughes, is just an ordinary member of Parliament in Johannesburg, not irreplaceable.

Now that Bruce Hughes was shot dead in the street, although Arnold didn't say anything, he was also afraid that one day he would be shot dead in the street like Bruce Hughes. This fear prompted Arnold to dig deeper into this case no matter what. However, even if it was really an accident, Arnold still wanted to find out the truth. This was not to seek the truth, but to maintain the system and the self-interest of the group of congressmen.

Only in this way can Arnold's safety be guaranteed.

"Because your words are not worth other people's time, Arnold, I know it will hurt you to say this, but look at what you have done all the time? With a group of losers, you will always be a loser." Philip I am very disappointed. I probably would not have said such a blow to people in the past.

"No, I won't give up, I will never give up!" Arnold roared wildly and rushed out of Philip's office.

Philip shook his head speechlessly, picked up the phone and called Rock.

Soon, Rock and Owen appeared in front of Philip.

"Bruce Hughes—I don't know what's going on." Rock told the truth that this matter really has nothing to do with Rock.

"I believe Locke. Since Locke said he didn't know, he must not know." Owen supported Rock. He didn't even know that Rock was secretly investigating Bruce Hughes.

"Well, since you have nothing to do with this matter, let's look at the results of the police investigation." Philip has now slowly shifted his focus to Owen, and Arnold will receive the title of Baron Matilda in the future, but It was Owen's responsibility to revive the Matilda family.

Looking back, Owen still asked Rock to confirm again.

"I really didn't do it. If I wanted to get rid of Bruce Hughes, I wouldn't use such a stupid way." Rock still had a lot of toothpaste, soap, etc. in his hand that hadn't been used yet. He shot him on the street. It was a little rough.

"Then who do you think it will be?" Owen went crazy. This kind of thing is a violation of the entire rules. As part of a vested interest group, Owen also has to maintain the rules of the game.

"I don't know. On the surface, it seems that the two of us are the biggest suspect." Rock couldn't laugh or cry, and the yellow mud fell into his crotch, either Xiang or Xiang.

"You are the most suspicious, and I would not do such a thing." Owen immediately turned his face, and the boat of friendship capsized as soon as he said it.

"Bah, I'm not even a member of parliament, why am I?" Rock denied it vigorously, and it was rare to be so confident.

 In other words, the debt is about to be paid off—I feel like I have become Yang Bailao——
