Chapter 588: Fermentation [1]

The director of the Bureau of Investigation suddenly recalled all the agents who were out there to deal with illegal cases and maintain law and order, and these agents were somewhat inexplicable.

To be precise, there are some complaints, and it seems that the department of the Investigation Bureau is far more "upscale" than the police department, except that there is a real sense of superiority in terms of salary and name, and there is only a sense of superiority, and there is no practical benefit. According to Imperial law and institutional interpretation, the Police Investigation Bureau is a high-level comprehensive investigation agency with a wide range of powers, but it only deals with serious cases. The nature is serious, which means that it is a big and important case, and there are many superiors and high-level concerns, and it is definitely too comfortable to make money in such a case.

On the contrary, after they began to take over the work of the police station in the past few days, they found that the police station was the real "welfare institution", and there were no too dangerous things to encounter in normal times, and there were many ways to get money.

The car was parked crookedly and fined a piece.

Doesn't look like a good guy and asks for documents, no?

A fine of two pieces.

This fine of two yuan can be dozens of cases a day, especially now that the law and order situation is not good, there are more guys on the street who are wandering outside the shop and are not good people at first glance, and these guys provide them with a lot of money. Not everyone will carry a resident card with them, this thing has only been executed in Otis City for less than half a year, and many people have left it at home after receiving it, who has nothing to carry with them? This makes many agents can put three or five yuan in their hands a day.

Now they were called back, and the chief demanded that they were not allowed to go to the street to maintain law and order, which made them complain a little. This part-time job is much higher than their salary in a month, and it actually ends here, and even makes some people feel that it is better to go to the police station and get a job.

As soon as Donald heard the news, he called the Director of Investigation and asked him why he didn't follow his orders to let the agents go to the streets to keep the law, and within fifteen minutes of the withdrawal of the Bureau of Investigation agents, there were three more burglaries and a businessman was beaten and injured. The responsibility for these problems cannot fall on Carter, who has been dismissed, and on the police department that has no one, nor on the police investigation bureau, but only on him, the mayor who "does not act".

The Director of the Investigation Bureau was silent for a few moments before giving an answer, "I'm very sorry, Mr. Mayor. We, the Police Investigation Bureau, only accept assignments from higher authorities, and the City Hall only has the right to make suggestions to us, not to manage them. As an important department of power in the Empire, we should abide by the laws and systems of the Empire, so I'm very sorry, it is difficult for us to go out to maintain law and order without the order of our superiors, I hope you can understand!"

"Is there someone from the State Bureau of Investigation who has spoken?", this was Donald's first reaction, it must have been Durin who put pressure on the State Bureau of Investigation to order a ban on this side, "I understand, I don't blame you for this matter, I will make other arrangements!"

After hanging up the phone, Donald felt that he was completely trapped by a huge net, and he also felt the complicated struggle he had to face after being promoted from second person to first person. These struggles come not only from within the political arena, but also from outside the political arena, making him difficult both internally and externally. He had never thought that the mayor of a city needed to face these things, and that all mayors would have similar problems? At the same time, he also had an understanding that as long as he could get through this difficulty, he would be able to grasp the real power of Otis City, the real power, the real power after Durin!

"What should I do?", he lay on the couch and looked at his secretary, who was almost fifty years old and had been working with his father in the imperial capital. After he was selected to be a member of the New Party in Otis City, his father left to send his secretary to Donald to assist the boy.

The secretary thought calmly for a moment, "I think the most important thing for you now is to reorganize the police department. It's actually a good thing for you that the officers left with you after you relieved Chief Haight. This will avoid all the stress you will have to face in the future to clean the police station, and it is best for them to be able to leave on their own. Now all you need to do is put someone you trust in the police station, and I'm sure the reorganized police station will play a key role in stabilizing the city of Otis!"

Donald was stunned for a moment, and immediately rolled over and sat up, he glanced at his secretary gratefully, indeed, he did not expect this. He was just a little dazed by the voluntarily resignation of Haight and a large number of police officers. Isn't the police station, which he would have had to spend some time cleaning up, now that it's already clean on its own? He immediately picked up the phone and immediately made arrangements.

In any case, he is also a politician from an aristocratic background, so he will naturally have a lot of resources in his hands, and under his arrangement, a candidate to replace the chief of the district police in Otis City has appeared, and he has also given the new chief great personnel powers, allowing him to choose the people he thinks are feasible to enter the district police station at will, and give the number of police officers.

The deserted police station became lively again overnight, and the new chief brought with him more than fifty people, although not as many as in the Haute period, but still barely able to maintain the current law and order problems in the city. And the new director also got a very powerful authority from Donald - not to restrict the right to fire.

The fact that the police can open fire on any criminal who appears to be aggressive and poses a danger to them is what makes the new chief brave enough to take over the position.

The new director is called Singh, a native of Ogding, and he has a rich resume, having worked as a thug, smuggler, and opened a bar. A few years ago, when Donald was still very young, he had a conflict with some customers in the bar he opened, and Singer stood by Donald's side clearly, helping him settle those troublesome customers and gaining Donald's friendship. In the years that followed, when Donald needed someone to help him do his dirty work, he would give it to Singh.

It seems that they have a close relationship, and in essence, Donald looks down on such a person, he has just been using Singh to do things for himself, and when he is really faced with an important choice of interests, he will definitely abandon Singh without hesitation. But now, Singh is important to him, and it's a dirty job.

The next day, after dawn, the city hall issued a decree that in view of the high crime and violence in the city of Otis now, the city hall ordered a curfew policy from now on, and all people who appeared on the street after 9 p.m. would be considered suspicious and would need to show their resident cards. If they do not have a resident card, they need to follow the police officer who found them to the police station for identity registration and investigation, and if there is resistance, the police officer can shoot the suspect directly after firing a warning shot, if necessary.

As soon as this decree came out, the whole city was in an uproar, especially the seven major casinos protested. After the evening is the hottest time for the casino, and if a curfew is imposed at this time, it will definitely have a fatal impact on the casino's business.

Donald also knew that there would be protests, and he immediately summoned the shareholders of the seven casinos to the conference room of the city hall and gave a solution, that is, the special car for the casino pick-up and drop-off will not be counted in the scope of inspection. In other words, guests in the casino can take the shuttle bus to the casino, or go back to their hotel where they are staying, and the police will let them go. While it may seem like a way to get the best of both worlds, the shareholders of the Big Seven casinos have been completely disappointed with Donald.

He only cares about the struggle between himself and Durin, and treats their interests as child's play, which exacerbates the level of disillusionment with Donald in the local high society of Otis City.

In fact, this can't be blamed for Donald's misfortune, the continuous violent cases have caused most of the members of those chambers of commerce to go, and the loss of these supporters who can support him and can get his trust has had a huge and vicious impact on his future work and the current situation. He must contain the deteriorating law and order in the city of Otis in a very short time, and with the most basic approval of all the citizens, he will start to change the current situation and try to bring back the disadvantage.

He thought it wasn't difficult, maybe a few days would be enough to solve, and once Durin's people realized that there would be extremely serious consequences for continuing to play those little tricks, they would give up such stupid and childish behavior, and that was the real battle then, not yet!

Unbeknownst to Donald at this time, news stories about him were still brewing outside of Otis City, and completely new content was being added.

The hundreds of citizens who were in front of the city hall discussing a series of local rules and regulations about the city hall were captured by many reporters, who added some subjective titles and content, and turned the contents of the photo into a demonstration, a protest!

Hundreds of Odis citizens gathered outside City Hall to protest some of the new Mayor Donald's platforms, arguing that Mayor Donald was not personally capable enough to serve as mayor of Otis and that his morals were damaged, and many citizens demanded Donald's resignation.

Well, reporters don't need any press releases, just a single photo to be able to write dozens of articles with different core contents, and if you add in the "manuscript fee" that Dühring constantly sends to each newspaper office, they prefer to tilt the position of the article on Dühring's side.

More and more people began to pay attention to the city of Otis, and with the sudden curfew in the city of Otis, some writers asked directly in the newspaper - is the war coming again?
