The horrifying look in Haite's eyes made these guys who had been expelled feel lingering fear. Some people felt that if anyone stood up to resist again, Haite might kill someone again. He pointed at the guys who looked like quails, turned around and walked outside the bank.
He took out a cigarette, lit it in his mouth, and took a deep breath.
The police officer who had just drawn his gun was standing next to him. The young police officer's face no longer showed the courage and perseverance he had when he fired the gun in the bank. Instead, he showed a trace of panic.
After all, if you kill someone, no matter what the other person did is right or wrong, in this era and society, everyone will tell the people around you not to hurt others easily, let alone take other people's lives. This is a universal value, a universal moral outlook, and people think it is right to adhere to these.
But just now, less than a minute ago, he killed a citizen.
Haite took off the cigarette from his mouth and stuffed it into the little policeman's mouth. The guy took two puffs and immediately choked and coughed. He coughed so violently that his back arched. Haidt patted his back and lifted him upright, "You did a good job. What you did was the most appropriate choice at that time. Not only did you not If you make a mistake, I will personally take credit for you from the mayor." He patted the young police officer on the shoulder and ordered, "I will give you three days to rest and adjust. You just killed a criminal. There’s nothing to feel guilty or regretful about, go away, you brat!”
Watching the police officer under his command look back at him after walking a few steps, Hait was happy but did not show it on his face. He raised his middle finger and then waved his fist. He quickly disappeared.
With a sigh, Haite mounted his horse and returned to the door of the city hall. After tidying up his clothes a little, he went directly to see Du Lin.
Dulin didn't know what was happening at the bank at this time. He was on the phone. Raising his hand slightly and pointing to the sofa on one side, Du Lin took the phone and walked to the window and talked for a while before hanging up the phone. He raised his eyes and glanced at Haidt, and asked with a smile: "How is it? Have you dealt with it?"
Haite nodded with a sullen face, and then happily repeated everything that happened in the bank at that time in detail.
When he first heard Haite say that he had killed a guy, Dulin thought it was good. If some people don't stab a knife into their hearts, they will always feel that you don't dare to really stab him, so stab him when necessary. One, let other people with the same idea see it with their own eyes, which can play a very effective deterrent effect.
Of course, some words of comfort should be given to those who should be comforted. It was obvious that Haite seemed to be under a lot of psychological pressure. In Haidt's account, he fired the gun, so Dulin subconsciously thought that he did it without asking him to do it, so he was a little worried.
In fact, this is completely unnecessary annoyance. Du Lin said with a smile: "I just dealt with a criminal who resisted with force on the scene. You don't need to have any psychological burden. Remember that you are wearing a police hat, which represents It is the dignity of the Otis City Hall, which represents the law enforcement power granted to you by the law. Only brave police officers can maintain the law and order of a city. You have done much better than I thought if there is such a thing next time. Thing, I now authorize you to fire directly after warning the opponent three times to no avail!"
"Of course, what I say doesn't mean that you have no responsibility at all. Go back and write a report for me. You can copy it, or it can be written for you by someone else. I need this to deal with the media!"
"Yes..., I understand!" Haidt raised his chest and saluted. Just as he imagined, Dulin did not blame him, but even praised him, which made his heart completely fall to the ground. At the same time, he also felt Du Lin's attitude, which was to be simple and direct.
You can fire after three warnings... It's quite exciting when you think about it.
Haite's expression was serious when he came, but his expression became very relaxed when he returned. When he returned to his office at the police station on the first floor, some police officers gathered around him. There were people who came from Ilian with him, as well as some locals. They all wanted to know how the mayor dealt with this matter and what methods he had to deal with it.
When Haidt relayed Dulin's words to them, more than 20 police officers in the entire police station cheered...
Dulin definitely didn't know that his two words could make the police department of Otis City the toughest in the empire. Of course, this was something that would happen in the future. Just before Haite knocked on the door, he was on the phone with Harry.
Governor Harry first congratulated Dulin on successfully passing the hearing. Although the results will not be announced for a few days, congratulations can be made in advance. Secondly, there is the matter of railway construction, which is a big matter.
Dulin told him last time that he wanted to build an east-west railway, and he always kept it in mind. As a qualified politician, he cannot fight alone in the political arena. Behind him there is also a group of aristocratic businessmen supporting him, otherwise he would have no chance to compete for the position of the next party leader and prime minister, even with Maggs' nomination.
After serving as governor for several years and passing through the initial stage, he must make reciprocal actions to repay the consortium and supporters behind him. Dulin said that building railways is the best way to repay. This is a major project involving tens of millions. The supporters behind him are very interested in this project. In other words, his supporters are interested in projects that can make a lot of money.
Isn’t investing so much in Harry just for this moment and the next twelve years
Harry asked Dulin when the project could be started, and Dulin gave him an answer, three months later.
He needed three months to raise funds while waiting for another person's decision - Rani.
According to the advanced imperial laws and laws related to taxation, he had to hand over at least half of the taxes collected from those smugglers, which was more than one million, which was too much. If Lani can take down Maggs, he will only pay 25 percent at most, which equals hundreds of thousands more.
One to two million more per month for three months, which is not a small sum of money. Including saving money for urban development, he will probably be able to raise about 8 million in three months. With these eight million, the preliminary construction can begin.
In the final analysis, it is still a question of money.
Where to get the money
The money you repatriated
This idea flashed through Dulin's mind and was rejected by him. It was something only a fool would do. An idea suddenly appeared in his mind, and it had a high success rate, but it still needed to be refined. Drill. Then he clicked a phone call to Albert and asked the guy to come see him. He had something to ask him to do.
The city of Otis is undergoing huge changes every day. In the past, the hot topics of discussion were often trivial matters such as whose cow gave birth or whose goose was missing. Now they are discussing whether that place may need to be rebuilt or that place may be demolished, and then they "bless" the citizens who are about to be demolished with an expression of envy, jealousy and hatred.
As the potential of Otis City has begun to be revealed, the housing prices in Otis City are also changing rapidly. From 300 yuan, you can buy a house of about 50 to 60 square meters, but now you need 700 to 800 yuan to buy it. For a house like this, the house price has already doubled in just one month and is still turning a corner. All local people are beneficiaries. Whether they choose to move back after demolition or sell their houses, they can make a lot of money.
In such an atmosphere, local people's favorable impression of Dulin skyrocketed, which also laid a solid foundation for Dulin in the upcoming voting period.
On such a day when everything was going well, Nasha's father came, Mark George, and now he has almost become the next generation head of the George family. Many people are very optimistic about him, not his ignorant brother Arthur. His position in the family is becoming more and more stable. Even the heads of the three most important feature agencies in the family industry have secretly contacted him. Pass him and show your allegiance to him - until John dies.
When Dulin received the notice, he did not go to greet this person. Instead, he sat in the office and waited for Mark's arrival. Mark was different from Mr. Jack. The strength possessed by Mr. Jack and "poker" definitely exceeds that of the George family, and this is just one of them. The second reason is that Du Lin has a good relationship with Mr. Jack and he has helped Du Lin a lot, so Du Lin must be more polite.
Mark has never helped Du Lin, and Du Lin has never even met this person. Moreover, such a person is a news point in itself. Once he takes the initiative to lower his identity and go to the station to greet Mark, maybe this news will enter Mags's mind. In the ears. Dulin, who had had an in-depth conversation with Maggs, knew very well that Maggs, the leader of the new party, lacked goodwill towards businessmen, not even a hint of goodwill. Since he had chosen to side with Maggs, he would definitely stand to the end. .
After waiting in the office of the city hall for almost forty minutes, Mark and his party arrived belatedly. Dulin didn't even need anyone to explain the situation and knew that these people must have gone around the city. He stood at the door of the office and met Mr. Mark.
"Hello, Mayor Dulin. I walked around randomly on the way here, so I am a little later than planned. I need to apologize to you here. At the same time, I am also amazed at the new life of this city and your "Courage." Mark said, smiling as he held Du Lin's hand tightly and shook it, "It's a great honor to meet you, Mayor Du Lin!"
Dulin also shook his hand and replied with a formulaic smile: "Me too, Mr. Mark George."
