Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 453 Embarrassment

The biggest news in Johannesburg in March was the suicide of MP Adam Stephen in his home.

At the end of last year, Councilor Adam Stephen caused a storm in the city due to corruption of ink. In the end, the city council had to intervene to avoid affecting the reputation of the entire council because of Adam Stephen.

The Socialist Party has an ambiguous attitude at this time. It is said that Adam Stephen is a member of the Socialist Party, and the Socialist Party should fully protect Adam Stephen. However, the Socialist Party does not seem to care about Adam Stephen's life and death, and has not expressed much opinion on Adam Stephen's matter.

"Adam Stephen did not commit suicide at all. He had multiple fractures on his body, extensive skin ulceration, and signs of being burned. He was severely tortured before his death. Visceral failure—" Li Deyi was filled with indignation, not because of Adam Stephen, but because of some people doing whatever they wanted.

"Adam Stephen was under house arrest by Steven Hewlett for a long time before his death. On the night of the 25th, a carriage stopped by Adam Stephen's parents for a long time. We have reason to believe that Adam Stephen was sent back after his death. home, and then forged the scene, there is no doubt that Steven Hewlett is the biggest suspect." Sam's conclusion can be verified with Reed's words, the truth is almost ready to come out, but it's a pity that Rock can't do anything.

"What's the opinion of Director Spencer?" Rock is not in his position, and it's not his responsibility to solve the case.

What Rock can be sure of is that Adam Stephen made a lot of money when he was the general manager of the gold mine. Strictly speaking, the money was stolen, and Adam Stephen should pay the price.

The problem is that a local prince or princess definitely has no law enforcement powers, and the Rand Bank has not even received a request to cooperate with the investigation of Adam Stephen's account, which shows that those people did not want to recover the money at all, but It was determined to put Adam Stephen to death.

This can be regarded as killing chickens and monkeys. For the big benefactor behind it, the amount of money is really not important. The key is the final result. Whether it can deter some people enough is the key to the problem.

"Director Spencer has started to investigate Steven Hewlett and handed over all the evidence to the Governor's Office. Now it depends on what the Governor's Office says. If the Governor's Office wants to pursue it, then Director Spencer will arrest Steven. Wen Hewlett, conduct further investigations, if the Governor's Office doesn't want to pursue it, then this matter may end here." Although Li De was not reconciled, he also knew the objective factors.

In the era when the imperial power was supreme, many cases could not be investigated. It is really not that the police are not strong enough, but that if the investigation results involve the royal family, the resistance will be greater than imagined.

Even if everyone knows that Adam Stephen was murdered, if the Governor's Office does not want to pursue it, then this matter will end without a problem.

If they want to continue the investigation, only if Ade expresses concern about the case, the Johannesburg Police Department will have the motivation to continue the investigation. Otherwise, they really dare not. Even if Harry Spencer has a strong background, he is not as big as the royal family.

"It's probably done like this. Don't worry about Adam Stephen. He deserves his death." Rock also knew the situation. This kind of thing was unavoidable in the 21st century, let alone the beginning of the [-]th century.

"Lord, dinner is ready—" Bella came over to report, and Reed and Sam immediately beamed with joy.

The dinner party at Baron Nyasaland's mansion is well-known. Marvin's restaurant in Johannesburg has now become the most upscale restaurant in Johannesburg. The average consumption per person is more than ten pounds. Although the price is expensive, it is worth the money.

Roque's Baron's Mansion employs chefs from the Qing Dynasty and Paris respectively. It has a variety of Chinese dishes with a variety of flavors and flavors, as well as French dishes that are the best in Europe and comparable to Chinese food.

I don't know when it started, but the dinner party at Baron Nyasaland's mansion was rumored to be miraculous, but in fact it wasn't very delicious. The key is to be able to eat with Rock, which in itself is enough to brag about for a while.

Of course, Rock doesn't care, Li De and Sam are also Rock's confidantes, and Rock is happy to buy people's hearts with a meal.

Phyllis usually only appears when eating, and Gavin Locke, who is only a few months old, will definitely not be hugged. Anna is the best housekeeper in the world, and she stays by Gavin Locke's side every day, baron The big and small affairs of the government are handed over to Bella.Bella is indeed very capable, arranging the big and small affairs of the baron's mansion in an orderly manner, and the servants work hard. Phyllis has recently mentioned to Roque many times that Bella's marriage problem should be resolved in the baron's mansion.

It's not easy for Rock to intervene in this issue. Bella was by Rock's side when she was in Cape Town. Rock treats Bella just like his own sister. It's really not easy to solve Bella's marriage problem.

The key is that most of the people around Rock have already married and started a career, such as Anton and Buck, who already have several children. Younger outstanding people, such as Li De and Gordon, are either married or lingering in the flowers all day long. , considering Bella's identity, it is really not easy to find a suitable partner for Bella.

Fortunately, Bella is still young, not yet 20 years old, and Rock still has time to find it slowly.

The dinner was actually very simple, which did not match the rumors outside. The simple four dishes, one soup, two meat and two vegetables were not much more delicious than Ma Wen's restaurant, but Li De and Sam were very happy with each dish. They are all full of praise.

What's there to praise about peanuts?

Rock was speechless, probably because of the words Baron Nyasaland, plain water can make people drunk.

After dinner, Li De and Sam did not leave in a hurry, and walked the dog with Rock in the Baron's Mansion.

The big guy is now so fat that he gasps after walking a few steps, but when he meets a bitch, he is full of energy. She has an unknown number of offspring, and she is simply blessed with sex.

"Be careful during this time, don't be ostentatious about anything, Johannesburg was the focal point for all of Southern Africa before the Transvaal had widespread democratic representation, Adam Stephen was dead when he died, he was damned, no one else to blame, key Don’t let people think that after Johannesburg implements the democratic representative system, the privileges of the nobility are restricted, Johannesburg is still the Johannesburg of the British Empire, and this cannot be changed.” Rock reminded Sam and Reed that many people think that after Johannesburg implemented the democratic representative system, London lost influence over Johannesburg, which is not the case at all.

Within ten or eight years, not to mention Johannesburg, even southern Africa will not be able to secede from the Commonwealth, so Rock still has to restrain his subordinates so that they cannot be caught.

Sam and Li De looked at each other. They didn't expect that Roque would be so cautious. This is not surprising. Roque's protection of the interests of the noble group is actually protecting his own interests, even in the UK. , Nobles also have privileges beyond the law.

In fact, for this matter, the Governor's Mansion and the city government reacted more strongly than Roque had imagined.

Ade was also the first to know that Adam Stephen committed suicide.

Or homicide.

Rock was then called to Pretoria.

"What do you think about this matter?" Ade asked Rock's opinion first. This is what the superiors hate. They don't express their opinions easily, but they will synthesize the opinions of their subordinates and finally make a compromise.

No matter how disgusted Rock is, he must remain firm at this time: "There is no doubt that Adam Stephen committed suicide."

"Suicide?" Ade didn't look at Rock, but sorted out the documents on the table.

"Yes, it is undoubtedly a suicide. No matter how suspicious there are, Adam Stephen is also a suicide." Rock was resolute. Even if everyone knew that Adam Stephen's death was suspicious, Rock would still be stubborn.

Ade looked at Rock with a complicated expression, mixed with relief and disappointment. He probably didn't expect Rock to transform so quickly.

For a long time, Ade has always admired Roque. Although Roque is a little young, Ade still trains Roque as his successor. Even after Ade leaves office, Roque cannot step up in time. Ke is also the best candidate to serve as governor.

Now Rock is growing at a speed beyond Ade's expectations. The former Rock, even if he didn't get to the bottom of Adam Stephen's case, at least he would find the direct murderer and bring him to justice.

Now Rock's attitude is obvious, he chooses to be consistent with the noble group, which makes Ade gratified but also surprised. Ade seems to see that Rock is as odious as the local nobles.

As for the relief, it was because Rock unconditionally chose to safeguard the interests of the royal family and be consistent with the royal family, which gave Ade a new understanding of Rock.

"What did Johannesburg's democratic representative system bring to Johannesburg?" Ade finally put down the document in his hand and crossed his fingers on the table. This gesture was to conceal his true thoughts.

"Vigor and vitality. After the democratic representative system was implemented, Johannesburg truly became the Johannesburg of Johannesburgers. No matter whether it is a local official or a new immigrant who moved in later, after the democratic representative system was implemented, they really have a sense of belonging to Johannesburg. , It’s hard to explain this feeling in words, including me, even if I have a lot of property in Johannesburg, after the democratic representative system is implemented, I feel that those properties really belong to me.” Rock definitely agrees with the democratic representative system, although The democratic representative system is not good enough, but at present, it is the most suitable system for Johannesburg.

Ade looked at Rock and nodded slightly. In the Transvaal and Orange, Ade's current situation is actually very embarrassing. Although Ade is the founder of the Transvaal and Orange, almost everyone is now I look forward to Adelaide's resignation as soon as possible.

This really embarrassed Ade a bit.
