Alfred Milner's expression was just as exciting.

When he was in Cape Town, Roque made a deep impression on Alfred Milner, so the reason why Roque came to Pretoria was because of Alfred Milner's handpick.

Now it seems that Roque really did not disgrace the Transvaal Provisional Government.

Of course, the expeditionary force also has to be faced, so Alfred Milner is no longer entangled in this issue.

"Inspector Locke, if you take over this case now, is there any chance of solving it?" Alfred Milner had to look at the big picture, and the question immediately caught everyone's attention.

In fact, Roque wanted to refuse.

But when Roque saw Alfred Milner and Henry's expectant eyes, Roque's heart immediately swelled with ambition.

"Although the scene has been completely destroyed, I think it is still possible to find the guerrillas." Roque didn't say much, although the whereabouts of the guerrillas are erratic, they still have to "attack" after all, so it is not difficult to find the guerrillas, but the difficult thing is how to exterminate the guerrillas.

"What are you going to do?" Alfred Milner was very curious, if Roque's statement was true, the scene had been completely destroyed, and Alfred Milner asked himself, he couldn't help it.

Rock thought for a moment, and then slowly spoke: "There are many gold mines in Johannesburg, and the Summerfield gold mine is not the largest, nor is it the most gold-producing, but the guerrillas chose the Summerfield gold mine, and the motives of the guerrillas are very questionable - my subordinates found the financial staff of the Summerfield gold mine, according to their confession, the Summerfield gold mine will send the mined gold to Cape Town every half a month to sell, and according to the custom, yesterday, that is, the day after the attack, It was the day the gold was to be sent to Cape Town, so we have every reason to suspect that the guerrillas had an internal presence at the Summerfield gold mines. ”

Oh –

Everyone suddenly realized the meaning, only Norman Theresa looked remorseful.

Also, soldiers, they are better at frontal combat, investigating cases or something, they still have to rely on the police, and the police are the most professional to do this.

"And Colonel Norman, how did you investigate?" Alfred Milner did not let Norman Theresa go, this kind of person is hated by everyone, even if Alfred Milner doesn't care, Kitchina will not let him go.

"I—I'm going to bring the remaining supplies from the gold mine back to the camp, and then I'm going to analyze the guerrillas' supply situation through the surplus, and see what the guerrillas have taken and what they have left behind, so that we can know what the guerrillas are missing, and it may be more beneficial for us to exterminate the guerrillas." I didn't expect Norman Theresa to be as stupid as he looked.

Also, how can a person who can be a colonel be a fool, Norman Theresa was caught off guard by Roque, so he lost his ground.

Kitchener's face immediately looked good, and this reason was not bad, and he could barely explain the past.

Roque remained silent, this matter was originally provoked by Norman Theresa, and Roque didn't want to make a mortal enmity with the military, but just wanted to teach Norman Theresa a lesson, everyone can pass the test best.

Of course, if someone can't pass the test, then Roque has nothing to say, and when Norman Theresa sues, he should have thought that Roque would have a backhand.

Just kidding, you don't have two brushes, you can be a senior inspector?

"Go Inspector, find them as fast as you can." Alfred Milner made a decision, and the inauguration of the governor was about to be, but the guerrillas chose this time to attack, which was a slap in the face of Hongguoguo, and Alfred Milner did not allow those guerrillas to continue to be arrogant.

"Yes, Your Excellency the Governor." Even if Roque is not sure, he must show confidence now, if Roque retreats at this time, it will even lose the face of Alfred Milner and the Provisional Government.

The guerrillas, in the end, still have to face it head-on.

——

Roque felt that he was spending most of his day on the railway, but luckily the telephone line between Letoria and Johannesburg would soon be restored, otherwise Roque would have to think about continuing to find a mine owner and build a highway between Pretoria and Johannesburg.

In fact, it is useless to have a highway, the automobile industry in this year is still in the primitive stage, the shape is ugly, the technology is backward, and it may break down at any time when it is used, so the driver of this year must not only be able to drive, but also be good at maintenance, so training the driver is a difficult technical job, much more difficult than mining.

Back in Pretoria, Roque still stayed at the Golden Hill Lodge.

Now the police department has chartered the entire Golden Mountain Hotel, and even the entrance of the Golden Mountain Hotel has hung a police station sign, and before the Johannesburg Police Station was built, the Golden Mountain Hotel was the base camp of Roque.

"There are 21 gold mines in operation around Johannesburg, and more than a dozen are preparing to resume operations, and we have raised a total of £27,000, which is more than enough to build the police station, and the gold mines that are about to resume operation, and the gold mines that the Mining Bureau is going to auction off, will provide us with a steady stream of funds, even with the current level of funding, it is estimated that you will have 12,000 pounds left in your account when the police station is completed." Scarlett is now Roque's private accountant.

Scarlett is the accountant that Roque got from Ada, she comes from a wealthy Boer family, not only has a farm near Cape Town, but also has a diamond mine in Kimberley, so Scarlett has the opportunity to go to England to study and graduate from the prestigious University College London.

Yes, the same University College London where both Gandhi and Barker studied, and which is the only institution of higher learning in the UK that offers admissions regardless of race, religion or politics.

After the outbreak of the Second Boer War, Scarlett's father was executed by the Cape colonial government because he sympathized with the Boers and provided funds to the Boer coalition army, Scarlett's mother and brother and sister also committed suicide one after another, and Scarlett was also abandoned by her husband, but because Scarlett worked in the Imperial Bank, Scarlett escaped.

But in the end, Scarlett was thrown into a refugee camp by the Cape colonial government.

"So much left?" Roque was a little surprised, according to Henry's estimate, the construction of the Johannesburg Police Department would cost about 20,000 pounds, which was a budget according to the size of the Pretoria Police Department, but he didn't expect to come to Roque for only 15,000 pounds.

"This is the budget given by Mr. Christian." Scarlett is a little unkempt, her hair is simply tied up, although there is no cloak, but it is still a little unkempt, although the room used by Roque as the director's office is brightly lit, but it can be clearly seen that Scarlett's skin does not seem to be very good, dull, plus there is no makeup-

This is actually very rude.
