Early the next morning, the Otis City Daily used the headline "Powerless" to criticize Donald for causing huge chaos in Otis City in just a few days after taking office, so that a large group of "innocent" businessmen were targeted. Serious property losses were caused, with the total amount exceeding 3.5 million. The newspaper also introduced the hypothesis that Mayor Donald had a conflict with Mayor Dulin. In order to retaliate against the former mayor Dulin, he pointed the finger at Director Haite, who had made outstanding contributions to public security in Otis City, and dismissed him. assumed the position of Director Haight.
At the same time, he also suppressed some officials left by Dulin, including Scott's problem. Scott was originally the press officer and spokesperson of the City of Otis, but after Donald came to power, Skoll was immediately transferred to the Secretariat to serve as Secretary-General. It seemed that this was an affirmation of Scott's work. And promotion, but in fact, Mayor Donald has not arranged any work for the Secretariat so far.
In the newspaper, Donald has become a very dramatic villain. He only trusts his cronies and has serious distrust of the city's well-established institutions. In the security incident that broke out last night, he should have taken action. Due to Mayor Donald's retaliation, a large number of police officers from the regional police station were dismissed from their duties, so that the security incident was handed over to the Police Investigation Bureau, which had almost no presence in the city of Otis.
Such chaotic governance and selfish behavior are really unacceptable to the majority of Otis citizens. If Mayor Donald cannot come up with a further governance plan, the security of Otis City is likely to enter a long period of chaos. stage.
At the end, the newspaper also recalled the public security in Otis City during Mayor Dulin's tenure. It was really rare to see even petty thefts. Whether a mayor is qualified and whether he has contributed to a city should not be analyzed based on his identity, status and background. It should be based on what he has done for the city and the citizens living in this city.
The sale of the newspaper quickly aroused the approval of the citizens of Otis City. Because Otis City is a special zone, Dulin does not have a conference hall for everyone to discuss regional regulations and policies, so more people are wearing clothes. Thick cotton coats discussed this matter in the square outside the city hall. This scene was quickly photographed by some reporters and used as pictures for tomorrow's report.
Donald stood anxiously by the window of his office and looked at the hundreds of citizens in the square. He wanted to order these people to be dispersed, but he also knew very well that if he really did so, he would definitely be punished by the public opinion of the citizens of Otis. rebound. He was already annoyed enough now. Not only was he suspected of planning to assassinate former mayor Dulin, but he was also blamed for the security incident that broke out yesterday. He actually understood that all of this had something to do with Du Lin, but he couldn't say it out loud.
Dulin left such a deep mark on this city. His period in power was a perfect example, solving all the big problems that people urgently need to face, whether it is small aspects such as drinking water, public transportation, public security, or work. Major aspects such as jobs, family income, medical security, and educational resources were all solved during his term, making it hard to fault.
An excellent mayor can be recognized and loved by a city, but this is very painful for the successor, because he will be compared with Dulin all the time. It's okay not to compare, but there will be many problems when comparing. It is impossible for him to repeat the construction, and there is nothing to develop. Even the Otis City listing plan was planned before Du Lin left. Everyone also Things everyone knows.
He suddenly regretted succeeding Du Lin as the mayor of Otis City. This was a hot stove. I am afraid that even more powerful politicians would be as tied up as him when they came here.
If you want to do something for the city and for yourself, it will inevitably infringe on the interests of Dulin and Dulin's interest groups, so it will be like now, and people don't know what to do.
If you don't do anything, I'm afraid it will leave an "incompetent" image to your superiors and senior management when it comes to the evaluation. You already have such a good foundation and haven't even done a big deal. Why should you continue to work in those rich places? Local governance
So this is a very contradictory thing. No matter whether he does it or not, he will offend one side. What's more troublesome is that he can't afford to offend both sides!
In the afternoon, another heinous robbery incident occurred. Two children, only fifteen years old, robbed a wealthy businessman who came out of the Imperial Bank of China with knives. They stabbed the wealthy businessman twice and took away the money he was carrying. Leather bag. Inside the wallet was the 5,000 yuan in cash that had just been taken out, as well as a checkbook. The wealthy businessman reported the crime and was sent to the hospital. Because his injuries were serious, he was transferred to the Imperial Capital for treatment. The two young men may have realized the consequences of their actions and chose to surrender under the persuasion of their families.
Considering that they were underage and had surrendered, the Otis City Court sentenced them to three years and five years. The young man who was sentenced to five years was the young man who attacked the wealthy businessman with a knife, so he was sentenced to two more years.
This may seem like a very ordinary case, but if it is revealed that these two teenagers have Guart blood, then this case is not an ordinary robbery, this is simply an attack! But this attack case was packaged as a robbery case, and there was enough motive. Naturally, the court would only sentence according to the robbery case.
This involves another legal issue. If it is a premeditated attack, as long as the victim's injuries are serious enough, it can be classified as second-degree murder. But if it's just a robbery, then it's just a robbery.
Most people have read the meaning behind this case. This is Dulin warning those who are not members of the business group in Otis City not to stretch their hands too long.
Poussey died because he was too active, involved and pushed the whole thing. Those other people are not considered "masterminds", but they are also accomplices, so they will not die, but they will definitely pay the price!
There is nothing more fearful than death. Immediately after this case occurred, some members of the Chamber of Commerce immediately put their properties in Odis City up for sale. They could not afford to play this game. For their own lives For safety's sake, it's better to run away quickly. Others chose to withdraw from the Chamber of Commerce and join the Odis City Business Group, playing the game according to Dulin's Law in order to win Dulin's forgiveness.
In an instant, more than half of the businessmen who supported Donald were gone. The speaker of the chamber of commerce also went back, as did the congressmen. Heidler spent the whole day growing flowers and grass in his villa and could not see him at all.
Donald felt as if he had been abandoned by the whole world, angry and helpless.
There is never a shortage of speculators in the businessman group. Many senior speculators have used cases of getting rich overnight to tell newcomers that as long as they have the courage to risk their lives, it is possible to achieve great success. There are still some members of the Chamber of Commerce who are holding on, still standing on Donald's side. They have reduced their chances of going out and are waiting for the moment when dawn comes.
It's a pity that they didn't wait until dawn first, but waited until the day when the Bureau of Investigation withdrew.
Early in the morning, the director of the Investigation Bureau came to the Investigation Bureau in high spirits and prepared to start the day's work. But what he didn't expect was that the door of the Investigation Bureau had been splashed with red paint, and there were many marks on the walls. This made the director of the Bureau of Investigation particularly angry. These people actually dared to directly challenge the Bureau of Investigation. Don't they know that the Bureau of Investigation is a power authority that overrides the police station
The director scolded his men to remove the paint and returned to the office. In the past few days, the Investigation Bureau has been responsible for the security of the city. Although it cannot be said that it has curbed the frequent occurrence of various crimes, it has arrested twenty or thirty people, which has made a certain contribution to reducing the crime rate and maintaining public order. Unexpectedly, these people's revenge would come so quickly. They dared to blatantly splash red paint on the door of the Investigation Bureau. This made the director cruel. He decided to apply for support from the Imperial Capital and take good care of the city of Otis. of criminals.
He picked up the phone and dialed the number of his former colleague. During the chatting stage before the topic started, a female employee knocked on the door and delivered a letter.
Mr. Director opened the envelope while chatting. When he saw clearly what was inside, the phone quietly slipped from his shoulder.
"Hey?! Are you listening?"
There are two photos in the envelope. The first photo should be taken at the Fountain Park in the Imperial Capital. It is the Fountain Park at the end of No. 1 Street and at the intersection of Lion Street. The area is not very large, but because of the environment It is beautiful and the fountain is open 24 hours a day, so many people like to sit there, rest and play. In the photo, his wife and daughter are sitting on a bench, their heads lowered and reading a book placed on his wife's lap. The two of them look very focused.
But behind him stood a man in a trench coat and hat. He had a gun in his hand and pointed it at his wife. His wife didn't even notice.
The second photo shows his son. His son is sitting on the lap of the man with the gun, playing with the dangerous weapon in his hand and showing a very happy smile.
In addition to these two photos, there is also a bullet that comes with the photo.
The director held the cold bullet cup tightly in his hand, and the cold temperature made his palms seem a little numb!
There was no doubt that someone was trying to warn him, using his family as a warning.
He picked up the receiver again with an expressionless face, said a few more words with a forced smile, and then hung up.
As for his original plan to apply for at least thirty agents from the Imperial Capital, he didn't say a word!
