A Red Dead Redemption Story

Chapter 350 My people can only be handled by me.

Although he got a lot of information, Arthur's only purpose of visiting Miller today was to deal with the association, so he did not delve further into the other information Miller said.

Only after reconfirming that he will be notified of joining the club in two days, Arthur took Sean and left.

Sean didn't speak the whole time just now. For him, he couldn't understand many of the things Miller said. After listening, his only feeling was that Arthur was really different.

Although he has known this for a long time, he will still be reminded again when accompanying Arthur to such an occasion.

"Where do we go next?" Sean asked.

"Go and visit the new mayor. You must have met him, right?"

Sean nodded. He was also in the office when he asked Mark to visit Hosea.

"To solve the Miller issue just now?"

Arthur shook his head and said:

"No, there's no rush for that. Our main purpose on this trip is to see if our mayor friend has a clear understanding of his new identity."

"Arthur, sometimes I'm really curious. I only knew you were a good person before, but now I realize that you are actually a smart person?" Sean sighed with a smile.

What kind of evaluation is this? Whether he is a good person or a smart person, Arthur does not think it is a suitable label for him.

"Sean, remember, there are no smart people, and there are no good people. People are very complicated. Don't label people casually. This has no other benefits except for making you 'prejudiced'."

Soon, Arthur saw Jean-Marc unimpeded.

"Mr. Morgan, when did you come back?"

"Not long, I arrived yesterday. I haven't had time to congratulate you yet, Jean Mark. Is the mayor's job hard? I feel that Saint-Denis has been a little too lively recently, isn't it?"

Arthur did not see Jean Mark in the study, but after announcing at the door, Jean Mark came out to greet him in person.

This luxurious mansion that originally belonged to Lemieux is now the property of the city hall and is used as the mayor's office and mayor's residence.

In a way, Mark did indeed do things more beautifully than Lemieux. He did not choose to directly assign the mansion to himself, but adopted such a method. Arthur did not know whether he should say that he had it. Although ambitious, let's call him smart.

After all, as long as he is the mayor, then this mansion belongs to him. On the contrary, if he loses his position as mayor, he will not be able to keep such a big mansion. Just like Lemieux, who lost his position as mayor, He was no longer welcome in this luxurious mansion.

Thinking of this, Arthur asked curiously while following Jean Mark who was leading the way:
"What is Lemieux doing now?"

"Who knows, I haven't seen him since he resigned. I think he may have felt guilty for the citizens of Saint-Denis so he left here."

Faced with Jean Mark's answer, Arthur was noncommittal and did not express any opinion. He just smiled and changed the topic:

"How is the city hall going to deal with Lambert's matter?" Regarding this question, Mark did not rush to answer. Instead, after taking Arthur and Sean to the study, he took down a bottle of wine from the wine cabinet. , and then said a little apologetically:
"Sorry, I forgot to ask you what to drink. Is whiskey okay? The other thing is water. I just fired my secretary. If you want to drink coffee, you may have to wait for me to make it."

Arthur looked at Jean-Marc meaningfully, trying to hear some implication from this sentence. It was not that Arthur wanted to think too much. In fact, these political people were used to speaking in a way of "insinuating things". .

It's not that they did it on purpose, but just out of habit.

"That's no trouble, whiskey is fine too." After all, it doesn't matter what you drink, it's just a polite question. After letting Mark pour the wine and sit down, Arthur reminded:

"The mayor hasn't answered my question just now."

"Mr. Morgan, just call me Jean Mark. There is no need to call me mayor. We all know that I can be the mayor. Mr. Morgan, you have put in a lot of effort here. So, in front of you, I Let’s leave it to Mark.”

It was a beautiful speech. Arthur smiled and shook the liquid in the wine glass. Apart from nodding slightly, he was not in a hurry to speak, but was waiting for Mark to say more.

Seeing Arthur like this, Mark hesitated for a moment, then he said after careful consideration:

"Mr. Morgan, regarding Lambert's matter, I still hope you can make a careful decision before intervening."

"How do you say it?" Arthur was not surprised that Mark chose to talk about this topic straight to the point. After all, just like what he said to Hosea before, although this matter simply meant that a person died, but When this person is the chief of the Saint-Denis police department, then the problem is no longer about the death of one person. It will involve the interests of many parties, and it will also have a long-lasting impact on the way it is handled.

"Although the jurisdiction and appointment of the police chief are the responsibility of the mayor, as the mayor, I also need the power support of the police department to become a mayor worthy of the name."

Mark frankly stated the reason why he was struggling. As the mayor of Saint-Denis, if he did not have the support of the police department, his policies on combating criminals and controlling the crime rate would be completely empty talk.

Arthur asked understandingly:
"So, has the current interim director, Schmidt Rudy, expressed his attitude to you, or the attitude of the police department?"

"Find and severely punish the murderer, and then carry out an indiscriminate and long-term retaliatory attack on criminal activities in the city." Jean-Marc replied.

Arthur nodded and continued to ask:

"Then who is the murderer?"

"...Mr. Morgan, I understand your thoughts. I have talked with Mr. Matthews about this matter before... The problem is that now everyone knows that the murderer is Leona Capo. Why don't you think about it again? I guess you don’t have to ask for Cabo?”

The reason why Mark said this was because of his considerations. After all, people like Ryan, who could be regarded as being supported by Arthur, are dead. Neither Arthur nor Hosea has shown any signs of death. What attitude do you have? You know, for this kind of thing, sometimes no attitude is the best attitude.

"Of course, of course, Mr. Mayor, it's true that it doesn't have to be Cabo, but this matter is just enough to express my attitude to everyone."

"?"

"My people can only be handled by me."
