266 Eyeliner
It is difficult for people who are used to asking for something to admit their mistakes, because they don't reflect on themselves at all, and they only put the blame on others when they have problems.
Arnold thinks so, for the current predicament of the National Party, Arnold blames the strength of the Liberal Party and the unscrupulous expansion of the Liberal Party, so as to cover up Arnold's incompetence and Arnold can sit comfortably in the position of leader of the National Party.
So Arnold was able to say such things, and Roque was not surprised at all.
Philip was heartbroken and showed no mercy to Arnold: "The problems of the National Party need to be solved by yourself, no matter when it comes, don't pin your hopes on others, you are an adult, you should be responsible for your actions!" ”
The words were a bit heavy, and Arnold's face suddenly turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.
But most of this is not because of shame, but because of anger.
Such people are not ashamed.
"It's okay, it's just a few people, I'll look into it later, if that's the case, I'll transfer them out and not stay in Johannesburg." Owen made the greatest concessions, and expulsion was impossible, and if Owen treated the Liberal Party members so casually, then Owen was not worthy of being the party leader.
"Where do you want to transfer them? Transferred to Pretoria? Arnold pressed forward step by step, and Arnold didn't listen to Philip's words just now.
"What do you want to do?" Owen grew impatient.
"Fire them and get them out of Johannesburg!" Arnold is going to kill them all.
"I'm sorry Arnold, I don't have that right." Owen put down the knife and fork in his hand, pulled the napkin off the collar and still put it on the plate.
In Owen's upbringing, this action was already very rude.
"Don't tell me you can't do it." Arnold still refuses to give up.
"Of course I can do it, let alone kick them out of Johannesburg, I can get them out of southern Africa if I want to, but why am I doing that? Just because they quit the National Party? I'm sorry, but they quit the National Party because they feel that the National Party is not worthy of nostalgia, or that the National Party has no future and cannot give them what they want, and what I don't understand is why even a few ordinary people can see this, but you can't see it. Owen almost didn't point a direct finger at Arnold's nose and sprayed.
Arnold still grew during his time in London, at least not directly, but looked at Owen with hatred in his eyes.
"Don't look at me like that, think about why Henry Alsop invited you to be the leader of the National Party, don't be taken advantage of and don't know it, ask yourself, do you know how to run a political party?" Owen directly ripped off Arnold's fig leaf, such a stupid person really doesn't need to save face for him.
Otherwise, Arnold would never have known what he was.
"Owen, your attitude." Philip didn't allow the children to be unscrupulous in front of him, and Owen's words were indeed a bit excessive.
"Yes, I'm sorry." Owen immediately apologized.
"Arnold, you should know that Owen is not wrong, you really should learn how to run a political party, and if you run your life." Philip is also serious, as long as Arnold is alive, Arnold is the next generation of Baron Matilda, and it is impossible for Philip to give up Arnold.
The meal ended unhappily, and Roque and Phyllis rode back to Purple Town in a horse-drawn carriage, and although Bobby Holt had successfully improved the car, it would take some time before the car was mass-produced.
"Actually, Arnold used to be very good, and I don't know why, Arnold has become like this now." Phyllis leaned into Roque's arms, a little depressed.
'We're all growing up and moving along different paths, sometimes we're on the right path, sometimes we're off the rails, and Arnold's question now isn't whether he's off the rails, it's that he doesn't know where he's going, so he just stumbles around like headless flies. Roque now acts as Phyllis's life coach.
Probably because Roque didn't describe it very well, Phyllis pushed Roque slightly: "You are not allowed to say that-"
"Well, Arnold is not a headless fly, but a blind man in a labyrinth, is that satisfactory?" Roark corrected his mistake when he knew it, although this description was also not very appropriate, but Phyllis did not object this time.
"I'm not worried about Arnold, I'm worried about Arnold's two children, and they'd better not be influenced by Arnold, or else—" Phyllis said halfway, knowing that the situation was not optimistic.
Parents are the first teachers of children, and children's temperament has a lot to do with their parents, and there is one behind every bear child, or a pair of bear parents, Arnold's children, and the prospects are really not optimistic.
But fortunately, at least Arnold's wife Lena is not bad, I heard that the control of the children is very strict, this time Arnold and Lena returned to Johannesburg, and their children stayed in the UK to be educated.
This is also the British version of left-behind children.
"If you have a chance, you must help him—" Phyllis asked Roque.
"Then I have to ask him to help me!" Roque was not optimistic, Arnold was arrogant, and he didn't even listen to Philip, but Roque still forgot it.
Perhaps in Arnold's mind, Roque is the enemy now.
Roque was right about Arnold, and three days later, a Liberal member was killed on his doorstep.
Roque is not the chief of police now, and this matter is not in Roque's hands, but Roque still got the case information from Li De.
"The deceased had just quit the National Party five days ago, and then joined the Liberal Party, the murderer was brutal, a total of more than a dozen knives, the knife was fatal, no clues were found at the scene, only a note that said 'The end of the traitor', we want to trace it from the note, but there is no progress yet." Li De is now the deputy chief of police, and is actually in charge of the police department.
"It looks like someone from the National Party did it." Roque's first reaction was that the National Party was retaliating.
"We think the same thing, but there is no evidence, so we can only conduct some peripheral investigations against the National Party, but it is difficult to produce results from such investigations." Li De also knew that the National Party was the most suspicious, but there was no way to confirm it.
The most suspects were Arnold and Henry Alsop, but they were so special that the police could only investigate by conventional means.
However, limited to technical conditions, it is definitely difficult to investigate the results by using conventional means, and there are many such cases in recent years, and if there is no miracle, most of them can only be headless public cases.
"Mr. Owen went to the police station this morning and asked us to catch the murderer as soon as possible, and now the brothers in the bureau are also in a difficult situation, we tried to get in touch with the National Party, but our people can't even enter the door of the National Party." Li De is also full of complaints, if Roque is still the police chief, such a situation will never occur.
"Can't get in the door?" Roque couldn't believe that the Spencers weren't easy to mess with.
"Director Spencer is on vacation and we can't get in touch with him." Li De was very embarrassed, and Li De was also speechless with such an irresponsible director.
This is the consequence of remote command in London, and London will not care whether Harry Spencer is responsible, whether he is competent, and whether he will not care about the specific needs of Johannesburg.
Roque is also speechless, not in his position, not in his position, Roque can not participate in this matter now, without Harry Spencer as a backing, the Johannesburg police really have nothing to do in front of Arnold, Henry Alsop and other powerful children.
Turning back, Roque went to the Liberal Party headquarters to find Owen.
There was a strange atmosphere hanging up and down the headquarters of the Liberal Party, with sadness and unspeakable humiliation on everyone's face, and for more than two years, the Liberal Party had never suffered such a major setback, even in the previous competition with the National Party.
What everyone didn't expect was that the National Party would be so unscrupulous-
Well, there is no evidence yet that this case is related to the National Party, but it is clear that everyone thinks so.
"What now?" Owen was at a loss.
This matter is indeed very troublesome, although the death of a person will not affect the strength of the Liberal Party, but it will seriously affect the cohesion of the Liberal Party, if the murderer cannot be found as soon as possible, then the Liberal Party will be in danger, and the internal cohesion will become a plate of scattered sand, this consequence is not affordable by Roque and Owen.
"Don't do it, whether the murderer is a member of the National Party or not, it is now the responsibility of the National Party." Roque is also ruthless, it really doesn't matter what the truth is, the key is to do something now, stabilize the mood in the Liberal Party, and not let this matter have a greater impact.
"What do you want to do?" Owen had a little heart palpitations and a new understanding of the political struggle.
"What else can be done, get the National Party out of Johannesburg, no matter what the purpose of the person who created this case, we have to show other people the strength of the Liberal Party, your task now is to calm the atmosphere within the party, what to do, what to do on the streets." Luo Ke will draw his salary from the bottom of the kettle, and Luo Ke will go to Xia Jiu to do these things, Xia Jiu is an expert.
"Okay, I'll go home, this matter can't just be left at that." Owen is relieved to finally have a showdown with Arnold, and there is never warmth in the political struggle.
There are some things that Roque can't say to Ou Wenming, such as planting eyeliner in the national party, and he can't let Owen know, otherwise it will definitely affect the relationship between Roque and Owen.
If Roque can put an eyeliner in the National Party, then he can also put an eyeliner in the Liberal Party.
