The most exciting news in Johannesburg in November was the shooting of a parliamentarian in the street.

"It was supposed to be an accident, there were eyewitnesses who confirmed that Councillor Bruce Hughes had a confrontation with an alcoholic on the way home, and then the drunkard shot directly and shot Parliamentarian Bruce Hughes, and we are now chasing the murderer, and as long as he is still in the city of Johannesburg, we will catch him sooner or later." Police Chief Harry Spencer reported to Mayor Philip as soon as possible.

Harry Spencer also had an ambush in his words, in this era, as long as the murderer is not caught red-handed, once he absconds, he is looking for a needle in a haystack.

"It's not an accident at all, it's a deliberate murder! It's a damn murder! Arnold was also there, and he didn't agree with Harry Spencer's conclusions.

Harry Spencer doesn't argue, he looks at Arnold with idiot eyes, the investigation of the case is the job of the police department, and the conclusions given by the police department can be overturned at will, well, you have the ability, you can go and find out the truth.

"Enough Arnold, that's not your concern." Although Philip also knows that there are many doubts, he can only choose to trust Harry Spencer at this time.

"Father, this is definitely not an accident, Congressman Bruce Hughes has always been kind to people and never has conflicts with people, so this must be murder, someone deliberately murdered Congressman Bruce Hughes." Arnold does not give up, the Socialist Party has two or three kittens and puppies in total, Bruce Hughes is still a banner of the Socialist Party, and now that Bruce Hughes is dead, whether it is murder or not, if the case cannot be solved as soon as possible, then it will definitely affect the unity and reputation of the Socialist Party.

The reason why Roque and Owen preferred to find a substitute for the dead last time and also press the case down was also based on this reason.

If this case cannot be solved, then it means that the Socialist Party cannot even protect its members, and the last time the Liberal Party only died a small clerk, this time it was a parliamentarian, and the two are not the same weight at all.

"Director Spencer, we must catch the murderer as soon as possible and solve the case." Philip still made a request to Harry Spencer, but the wording was equally careful, just "as soon as possible", not "not allowed".

"Okay, I'll try." Harry Spencer understands that as the chief of police, it is his duty to solve the case, but Harry Spencer really can't guarantee anything.

If the topic ends here, then everything is still under control.

But Arnold still has to make extraneous branches: "It can't be as much as possible, it should be necessary, immediately, immediately!" ”

Harry Spencer, no matter how good-tempered he is, can't stand this kind of idiocy, so Harry Spencer's counterattack is just as sharp.

"I'm the chief of police, and I don't need you to teach me how to do it." Harry Spencer got up and prepared to leave, although the Matilda family is powerful in Johannesburg, but the Spencer family is powerful in the entire British Empire, who is afraid of whom!

What's more, Arnold does not represent the Matilda family at all.

"Because you are the Chief of Police, it is your job to ensure that Johannesburg is safe." Arnold was on the line immediately.

"Or you're going to do this police chief?" Backed by the big tree of the Spencer family, Harry Spencer doesn't care much about the position of police chief, so this kind of thing blurts out.

Arnold didn't expect Harry Spencer to be so direct, and his face was turning red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Enough Arnold, you have to learn to respect others." Philip had to intervene, otherwise it was estimated that the conflict would escalate.

"Then he deserves my respect first and foremost!" Arnold blurted out the same thing.

Harry Spencer was cold at this time, and said coldly to Arnold before leaving: "Very good, Councillor Arnold, you have now managed to earn my 'respect'-"

Arnold only then realized what he had just said.

Arnold is a person who is too arrogant many times, and the current Matilda family seems to be indeed full of flowers, Philip is the mayor of Johannesburg, Owen is the speaker of the parliament, and he himself is a member of parliament, and it seems that the Matilda family is covering the sky in Johannesburg.

But zooming in to the whole of Southern Africa, zooming in to the entire British Empire, the Matilda family is nothing, in the eyes of a behemoth like the Spencer family, the Matilda family is just a colonial ruin, but it is a pity that Arnold is not aware of this problem, his vision and heart have been filled by Johannesburg, and he can no longer hold anything else.

"Arnold, I want you to resign from the council and return to Matilda, and you are not allowed to leave Matilda without my orders-" When Philip said these words, he felt infinitely sad in his heart, and finally came to this point, once Philip pinned infinite hopes on Arnold, how high Philip's hopes for Arnold were then, and how disappointed Philip was in Arnold now.

"No, father, you can't do that—" Arnold was horrified and sent back to Matilda, meaning that he would be imprisoned and become the fertility machine of the Matilda family.

This is unacceptable to Arnold in any case, London cannot satisfy Arnold's ambitions now, the Matilda family is so powerful in Johannesburg, Arnold is now asking for power, and money can no longer satisfy Arnold's desires.

"I'm sorry, I don't want to do that, but what you're doing now is really disappointing to me, you need to reflect on yourself." Philip never imagined that Arnold would become what he is now.

When he was on his home turf, Arnold was still in good order, but after arriving in Johannesburg, Arnold's true nature began to be revealed.

This is actually normal, in London, Baron Matilda is just a very inconspicuous little nobleman in the British Empire, and he doesn't have much power, so he can only be a man with his tail between his legs.

When he arrived in Johannesburg, Baron Matilda rose to the top and became the most powerful local official in Johannesburg, and Arnold was like a child of one of those nouveau riche families, carried away by the sudden increase in power and wealth, and began to become unreasonable.

"Father, I didn't make any mistakes in this matter, it's not me who should reflect on it, but the person who created this case!" Arnold argues that he still doesn't understand why Philip drove him back to Matilda, not as a punishment for him, but as a protection for him.

Let's not talk about the Spencer family behind Harry Spencer, Harry Spencer is the police chief of Johannesburg, is anyone who dares to offend easily?

Philip didn't want to see Arnold be shot in the street one day, just like Bruce Hughes is now.

"Who are you talking about? Rock and Owen? Be sensible, they may hate you and Bruce Hughes, but they won't do it because you don't deserve it. 'Philip was really disappointed and until now Alexander-Arnold didn't realise what he was doing wrong.

"You're always on their side, you're all on their side, so why don't you listen to what I'm saying?" Arnold's emotions were also on the verge of collapse, perhaps Arnold himself didn't realize that he was actually afraid.

Just as Philip feared, aside from the identity of the Matilda family, Arnold is actually just an ordinary parliamentarian in Johannesburg, just like Bruce Hughes, and not irreplaceable.

Now that Bruce Hughes has been shot in the street, although Arnold didn't say it, he is also afraid that he will one day be shot in the street like Bruce Hughes, and this fear prompts Arnold to dig deep into this case no matter what, even if it is really an accident, Arnold has to find out, not to seek the truth, but to maintain the system and safeguard the self-interests of the legislators.

In this way, Arnold's safety can be guaranteed.

"Because your words aren't worth wasting time, Arnold, I know you're going to be sad to say that, but look at what you've been doing all along? With a bunch of losers, you will always be a loser. Philip was very disappointed, and probably wouldn't have said anything so shocking in the past.

"No, I won't give up, I will never give up!" Arnold roared frantically and rushed out of Philip's office.

Philip shook his head speechlessly, picked up the phone and called Roque.

Soon, Roque and Owen appeared in front of Philip.

"Bruce Hughes — I don't know what's going on." Roque told the truth, this matter really has nothing to do with Roque.

"I believe Locke, and since Locke said he didn't know, then he must not know." Owen supports Roque, who doesn't even know that Roque is secretly investigating Bruce Hughes.

"Well, since you have nothing to do with this, let's see the results of the police investigation." Philip has now slowly shifted his focus to Owen's side, and Arnold will also get the title of Baron Matilda in the future, but the responsibility for reviving the Matilda family is up to Owen.

Looking back, Owen still asked Roque to make sure again.

"I really didn't do it, and if I were going to kill Bruce Hughes, I wouldn't do it in such a stupid way." Roque still had a lot of toothpaste, soap, etc., which had not yet come in handy, and the method of shooting in the street was a little rougher.

"And who do you think it will be?" Owen is crazy, this kind of thing is a violation of the whole rule, and as a part of a vested interest group, Owen also has to uphold the rules of the game.

"I don't know, on the surface, it seems that the two of us are the most suspicious." Roque couldn't cry or laugh, and the yellow mud fell into the crotch of his pants, and it was not Xiang but also Xiang.

"You're the most suspicious, so I won't do such a thing." Owen immediately turned his face, and the boat of friendship turned over.

"Phew, I'm not even a member of parliament, why should I?" Roque strenuously denied it, it was rare to be so justifiable.
