If he could, Roque would be willing to dispose of Frank von Adelaide silently.

But Roque wasn't sure if anyone saw that it was the Johannesburg police who arrested Frank von Adelaide, and if no one did, then it didn't matter what Roque did with Frank von Adelaide.

But if anyone sees it, then if Frank von Adelaide dies or goes missing during this period, then Roque will be in big trouble.

God knows what that madman Wilhelm II would have done.

Don't forget that Wilhelm II is a staunch supporter of the "Yellow Peril Theory", in last year's Eight-Nation Coalition War of Aggression against China, because the German minister Klint was killed in the Qing Dynasty, so Germany behaved very actively, Wilhelm II sent more than 20,000 people to the Far East to participate in the war, but unfortunately, Wilhelm II's army did not reach the Far East, and the war ended.

If he didn't know, Roque would never have believed that Frank von Adelaide was a priest, he had impressive blond hair, was in his thirties, and had an almost standard figure like a model.

Frank von Adelaide is not as tall as Roque, only about 1.70 meters, he doesn't look as oppressive as Roque, he stands in front of Roque's desk, not arrogant or humble, full of confidence, which makes people feel good at a glance.

"I thought you were going to send me to Cecil Rhodes." Frank von Adelaide sighed faintly, sounding a little regretful.

"Sit down, Father, can you talk about your purpose, why did you go to the investigation team?" Roque didn't pick up, if he could, Roque also wanted to send Frank von Adelaide to Cecil Rhodes Jr., but Roque was afraid that Cecil Rhodes Jr. would kill Frank von Adelaide in anger, in that case, this black cauldron would end up being Roque's.

"I'm a priest, my job is to preach, and wherever there are people, I am needed." Frank von Adelaide is serious.

This reason is not an excuse, in fact the missionaries were the pioneers in the early colonial development of Europe.

Normally, when a new continent is discovered, the first to enter the new continent are the missionaries, and then the colonists frantically pour in until they occupy the entire continent.

"You're a Protestant?" Roque was curious that Martin Luther, who initiated the Reformation, was a German.

"No, I'm Catholic, Protestantism is heretical." Frank emphasized that religion is serious on this issue.

"The state religion of England is Protestantism, and you, a Catholic priest, went to preach to a group of Protestants?" Roque immediately debunks Frank's lies.

"That's why they need me." Frank has a good reason.

This reason is very strong, and Roque can't find an angle to oppose it.

"Okay, you're amazing." Roque gave up discussing this with Frank, religion was not Roque's forte, and discussing religion with the priest was self-defeating.

"Superintendent, what is your faith?" Frank took advantage of the victory and pursued.

"I believe in the Three Qingdao Chiefs." Roque was not angry.

"Sanqing Dao Chief?" Frank repeated in Chinese, this guy is very talented in languages, and he actually has seven or eight points of similarity.

"It looks like I'm going to have to keep you in the police station for a while, and you can't leave the police station until the mission leaves Johannesburg." Roque didn't want to discuss the Three Clearings with Frank.

"That's a shame." Old God Frank was there, and he didn't look worried.

Roque didn't care, and told Reed to take Frank out and arrange a room for Frank in the police station, so that Frank could move around the police station, but he couldn't leave the police station.

Frank was not worried about his situation, thanked Roque politely, and then left with Lide.

Roque rubbed his head and decided to go to Owen.

"German priest? It's a hassle. "Owen also had a headache.

Whatever it is, as long as Germany is involved, it is always troublesome.

Although Germany was weak compared to Britain, it had insufficient finances and did not have many overseas colonies.

But Germany was ambitious, ambitious to challenge British supremacy in the world.

The most important thing is that King Edward VII of England is the uncle of Kaiser Wilhelm II, when Queen Victoria died, William II, as the eldest grandson of Queen Victoria, has been staying by Queen Victoria's side.

Therefore, in the hearts of the British people at this time, the prestige of William II was very high, even no less than that of Edward VII.

This complex relationship, reflected in the Cape, led to frequent disagreements between the Cape colonial government and the Expeditionary Force Command in dealing with German Southwest Africa.

"yes, it's troublesome, what should I do?" Roque couldn't help it, the Expeditionary Force Command had intelligence that a German priest had sent a message to the Boer partisans, but the Expeditionary Force Command couldn't help it.

"Put him in the police station, eat and drink for him, as long as he doesn't make trouble, let him be." Owen didn't look for trouble, and during the investigation team's time in Johannesburg, everyone had to be a man with their tails between their legs.

Roque raised an eyebrow, he didn't expect Owen to be so cowardly.

"Don't look at me, if he were an ordinary German, you would kill or chop him as he pleased, but if he is a priest, you have to be careful." Owen is not cowardly, but Roque does not understand the importance of religion to Western society.

"Okay, okay." Roque gave up that atheists are indeed incomprehensible to religious believers.

The next few days were peaceful, with the mission meeting with four or five Britons a day who had lived in Johannesburg before the outbreak of the Second Boer War.

Some are still in Johannesburg, some have returned to the UK, and some have died in the war or are missing.

The task of the police department is to find them as much as possible, and if they can't find them, there is nothing they can do.

There were also members of the mission who tried to leave the premises, but were all stopped by the police on the grounds that Johannesburg was not safe and that the team was very knowledgeable and did not cause much trouble for the police.

Roque doesn't want to make trouble either, but that doesn't mean trouble doesn't come to Roque.

During the mission's second week in Johannesburg, Roque was informed that the head of the mission, Harry Alsop, Baron Marhalles, a former deputy director of the Third Department of the Ministry of Finance, wanted to meet with him.

The Third Department of the Ministry of Finance is mainly responsible for the budget and monitoring of the Ministry of Home Affairs, the Bureau of Indian Affairs, the Ministry of Construction, etc.

Roque didn't forget to ask Joe Russell how to properly address Baron Mahanles before going to see Harry Alsop.

Before entering Baron Mahanlais's office, Roque was asked to hand over the matching gun.

It doesn't matter, Roque is very cooperative.

"Lord Harry, Johannesburg Police Chief Locke salutes you." Roque was meticulous.

"Director Locke, please be seated." Harry Alsop's expression was calm, but Henry Alsop, who was leaning on the fireplace, looked resentful.

Mixed with a cat-and-mouse indignation.

Instead of saying hello to Henry Alsop, Roque sat down in a chair in front of Harry Alsop's desk.

"Director Locke, I have some questions here that I need your cooperation." Harry Alsop was a fat old man with a very serious head, he was probably a little dazzled, and although he had glasses on his nose, he habitually lowered his head and did not look at Roque through glasses.

"No problem, Lord Harry." Roque was feeling a little bad.

"Director Locke, you've heard you've bought a large piece of farm—" Harry Alsop took off his glasses, leaned back in his chair and gently wiped them with his glasses cloth, his eyes not looking at Roque.

"Yes, near Krugersdorp, about fifty thousand acres." Roque is not in a hurry, this is all public information, and Harry Alsop can consult it at any time.

"Wow, 50,000 acres, that's a lot of money." Harry Alsop showed appropriate surprise.

Roque heard Henry Alsop chuckling behind him.

It's the kind of dismissive smirk.

"It's not much, it's not London, and the price of the farm is very cheap, 50,000 acres, and it's only 2,000 pounds." Roque didn't care about Henry Alsop, the kind of person who directly ignored him was the biggest blow to him.

"It's really not expensive, so Director Locke, can you tell me how much your annual salary is?" Harry Alsop put his glasses back on, his gaze flickering behind the lenses.

"About 700 pounds, I eat and live in the police station, there is no place to spend money, so my salary is in my fixed account, I don't care about the specific amount, if Lord Harry you want to know, I can call the accountant of the police station." Roque's attitude gradually hardened, and it was clear that it was a Hongmen banquet, and Roque would not compromise on everything.

"In other words, you haven't received a salary, so where did you get the money to buy the farm?" Harry Alsop doesn't dwell on this issue, the department he used to work for was in charge of the budget of the Bureau of Indian Affairs, and he would not know how much the chief of a municipal police station earns a year?

Don't be funny, the budget for the Bureau of India was approved by Harry Alsop.

After approval, it will be supervised and reviewed.

"Income from the gold mines, I share a gold mine with Pretoria Police Chief Henry Alsop." Roque doesn't hide it, this is also public news, Harry Alsop can check it casually.

"Tell me about this gold mine." Harry Alsop was intrigued.

"The Matilda gold mine was originally an abandoned gold mine, and Director Henry and I wanted to buy the farm, and then we accidentally discovered that the gold mine still has the value of remining." Roque understated.

"So the discovery of Matilda was an accident?" Henry Alsop finally couldn't take it anymore.

"Yes—" Roque spread his hands calmly and looked at Harry Alsop with a sincere expression, "-The gold mine was an accident. ”

"And what about the Rock Gold Mine?" Henry Alsop pressed close.

"Rock gold mines – it's also a normal discovery, I bought a farm, and then I found out that there was gold on the farm, that's how all the gold mines in Johannesburg were found." Roque's logic is impeccable, and most of Johannesburg's gold mines were indeed discovered in this way.
