Duke said: "No way, we don't have any specialties here. As a small country town, no investor will take a fancy to it. That's a big question. Jim and I discussed it many times, and we couldn't do anything about it. If not... With the sponsorship of entrepreneurs from Mill Town, we were all about to go bankrupt. ”

The government goes bankrupt, which is a normal thing in Western countries. Especially in such a small town, if there is no industrial support, it is easy to go bankrupt.

"Maxine Seagrave." Duke hesitated: "It's her sponsorship of hundreds of thousands of dollars a year that we can sustain it." You know, the tourist villa on the island in the middle of the lake was built by her. ”

"Often."

Duke groaned for a moment and said, "I'm going to let you meet her and get to know her." ”

Freddie and Paul went over there to talk to Linda and Angel, and when Duke saw that there was no one around, he said to Chang Wei, "Maxine is not a good person... I also have my difficulties, Linda is a woman after all, her heart is sometimes too soft, and she has an excessive sense of justice and lacks a sense of the big picture. ”

"What do you mean?" Chang Wei frowned.

"Listen, I trust you." Duke said: "When I rescued you from the lake, the first time I saw you, I felt that you were trustworthy. ”

Chang Wei was stunned: "I'm honored." ”

Duke waved his hand, "Actually, I wasn't going to tell you something weird so early. But yesterday's murder, as well as what you just said, let me know that you are a keen person who can see many things that ordinary people can't. Even if I don't say it, you'll be aware of it. ”

"Mill Town relies on Maxine to stay stable, and we need her patronage," he said. So even though I knew she wasn't a good person, I didn't see it. All I have to ask her is that she doesn't affect the mill town. I'm getting old, my heart is not good, my energy is getting worse, and I have to find a reliable successor for Mill Town. ”

Chang Wei blinked and pointed to his nose: "Don't say it's me." ”

"That's you." "First of all, you're a great deterrent. This is a quality that must be possessed as a sheriff of Mill Town, not only to deter the gangsters, but more importantly, Maxine. ”

"We get along with her and keep it in harmony, but we also have to guard against her and not let her affect the atmosphere of the mill town. Linda doesn't have that ability. If I had made Linda a sheriff, Maxine wouldn't have taken her seriously. ”

"Big Jim, you know, he's a very powerful man. Linda is no match for him either. So deterrence is important. ”

"Secondly, you are sensitive. It can be said that he was born to be a police officer. Linda told me that you said that Freddie and Paul didn't find those clues because of my attitude, and I tell you clearly that it was because they didn't have that ability, and that such people were obedient, but not very useful, and could not be the pillars of Mill Town. ”

"Duke." Chang Wei shook his head: "You are not old. And in fact, you should know that I only regard the police profession as a job. ”

"It's okay." Duke said: "You just came, and after a long time, you will be fine." ”

"I've called both Jim and Maxine, and they'll be over soon," he said. By the way, Jim knows Maxine too. Maxine sponsors the Mill Town, thanks to Jim. ”

"Here they are." He pointed to a car coming from outside the yard.

Finally, he said, "I don't know if I'm doing this right or wrong, maybe I'm going to hurt you." But I didn't have a choice. So I beg your pardon. ”

Chang Wei chewed on Duke's words, feeling very dramatic in his heart.

For him, the mill town was just a temporary place to stay. For Mill Town, he's just a newcomer here.

But getting the trust of a sheriff is really a bit unreasonable.

Maybe yesterday's case was a push. But Duke's trust in Chang Wei is unquestionable, otherwise he would not have said these words.

He actually wanted Chang Wei to take his place.

Chang Wei could hear that Duke's words were still unfinished. There's something deeper hidden inside. For example, Maxine is not a good person. Like Big Jim.

But there is no doubt that a lot has been pointed out.

"Hey, Jim!"

Duke hugged Jim, and then looked at a woman beside Jim who looked sharp: "Maxine, long time no see." ”

Maxine Seagrave, is the name of this woman with excellent looks and a unique temperament, not a woman of good nature.

"That's usual." Duke introduced: "My right-hand man, the murder of addict Thomson yesterday, is the clue he found - Asuka Island. He is a very capable person. ”

As soon as he said this, Big Jim and Maxine's eyes shot at each other.

Chang Wei stretched out his hand with a smile: "Hello." ”

They shook hands, and Maxin looked at Chang Wei with interest: "I've never heard Duke praise anyone so strongly. Your abilities must be recognized. ”

"It's just a fluke." Chang Wei looked at her feet in high heels.

Maxine involuntarily took a step back, as if to hide his feet from being seen.

"Hey, the lad is really good." Big Jim sensed something, and immediately broke the siege and opened the topic: "Duke, do you have any plans for such a solemn introduction?" ”

"That's right." Duke said: "I plan to make Chang a deputy sergeant as soon as possible, and then I'm going to take over my job." ”

When the two of them heard this, their expressions immediately froze.

"It's not appropriate, is it?" Big Jim said: "We all know that Chang has just become a police officer, and his qualifications and merits are not enough for him to take over your work. ”

Then he looked at Chang Wei: "I'm sorry, I'll talk about things." ”

Chang Wei smiled: "I don't think it's appropriate either." ”

Jim spread his hands, "You see, Duke, he doesn't think it's appropriate. ”

Maxine also said on the side: "I think Linda is more suitable. She was single-handedly pulled up by you, and has been a police officer for almost five years. ”

Duke was expressionless: "This is my decision. ”

The atmosphere froze.

Jim suddenly snorted, "Okay, Duke, this matter can be put aside for now." I know Chang is very good, but to be a sheriff always needs merit, right? Even if you have to work for him, it will take time, so let's take our time. ”

Duke said: "The decision I made will not change. ”

In the end, it broke up unhappily.

After the two left, Duke looked at the few people who were still chatting over there, and said to Chang Wei: "Today is an acquaintance." As I just said, often, my decision will not change. Just help me, OK? ”

Chang Wei said: "I can't promise you anything. Duke, maybe I'll leave when. ”

"Let's do it first." Duke ignored it: "At most half a month, I will make you a deputy sergeant." Then you'll be exposed to more things, and I just hope you don't hate me for it. ”

The ladder was open until noon, and the meat that Chang Wei replenished in the morning was eaten clean.
