Chapter 1137: Revolution (A)
A bloody hurricane arose silently in this European city.
In Chief Norton's office, Norton had just arrested Savin Geese and Maligeben. The phone call came in without waiting for even a minute. But Norton did not feel it was odd. Instead, he thought it was quite normal.
"Hello." Chief Norton picked up the phone.
"Norton! You have to give me an explanation! What the hell is going on?" On the other side of the phone, there was a roar from Mayor Mark Vader.
"Explain what? Mayor Mark Vader?" Norton made his voice sound plain.
"Why was my son arrested? What crime did he commit? He should be the victim. I heard that he was being beaten very badly. You actually sent him to jail. Do you still want to be police chief?" Mayor Mark Vader roared angrily.
"Dear Mayor Mark Vader, the first thing I want to say is that your son, Maligeben, is suspected of intentionally hurting and swindling a girl. We arrested him according to the law. There is nothing wrong with this. I think I have been enforcing the law impartially," Chief Norton explained.
"Bullsh*t!" Mark Vader couldn't help but swear. "My son was being beaten. You said he is a criminal? Have you made a mistake? I think you are going to step down from your bureau chief position! I am now ordering you to immediately release my son, Maligeben, and the son of the lieutenant governor, Savin Geese, and then bring the criminal who hurt them to justice! Otherwise, you should think about your own consequences!"
"I'm sorry. I can't do that!" Chief Norton shook his head and said, "The matters are already very clear. It is true that your son's intention was not good for Miss Shu Ya, and Miss Shu Ya's red wine was drugged. After Miss Shu Ya fainted, they grabbed her and took her into the underground parking lot trying to rape her. It happened that a citizen, who was righteous and brave at the time, saw it and provided help to prevent Maligeben's unruly conduct.
"Great... Norton, you are really great..." Mark Vader was too angry. He didn't expect Norton not to even listen to him. It seemed to him that it was not difficult at all. As long as Norton helped, and he asked for a better lawyer, then his son could be exonerated from the charge.
But the problem now was that his son was hurt like this, and Norton actually arrested him forcibly. This made Mark Vader very angry! After thinking about it, he still needed to go through Chief Norton to release his son at the moment, so Mark Vader suppressed his anger and said to Norton, "Okay, Chief Norton, since this is the case, then give a compassionate release to my son, Maligeben, and Savin Geese for medical treatment!"
"I'm afraid this is not possible!" Chief Norton denied. "The criminal acts of Maligeben and Savin Geese are very serious, and Shu Ya is a foreign celebrity. This has become an international dispute. I can't give them a compassionate release for medical treatment. But rest assured, Mayor Mark Vader. Our police will invite the best doctors to treat Maligeben and Savin Geese!"
Mark Vader listened to Norton's words, and he was extremely furious.* What international dispute? Isn't she just a celebrity? Even if she is a guest of Miss Alice, my son did not do anything to her, right?*
In Mark Vader's opinion, this was just a misunderstanding. It would just be over after explaining it. He didn't expect Norton to be so strict!
"Hmph, Chief Norton, I have said it anyway. Just see what you can do now!" Mark Vader snorted, "If I don't see a compassionate release for Maligeben and Savin within an hour, then your position as the bureau chief will be gone. My lawyer is already on the way to the police station!"
After that, Mark Vader hung up the phone.
Although Chief Norton knew that the matter involved the Buffon family, Patriarch Buffon did not give him a clear attitude. Although Old Buffon's underlying message meant that he would not treat him badly, no one knew exactly what was going on. Thinking of this, Chief Norton felt that it was necessary to communicate with Patriarch Old Buffon.
He naturally did not have Old Buffon's phone number, but he had Locklaring's phone number.
"Locklaring, this is Norton!" Chief Norton said politely after connecting the phone call.
"Old friend, how are you?!" Locklaring's tone made Norton somewhat flattered. His relationship with Locklaring was not very good. It could only be said that it was ordinary. At this moment, Locklaring talked with him in this tone. Wasn't it suggesting something?
Thinking of this, Chief Norton quickly said, "Mr. Locklaring, aren't you very familiar with Patriarch Buffon? Can you help me to contact Patriarch Buffon? I have something to report to him..."
Chief Norton thought for a long time and decided to use the word "report." Although Old Buffon was not his chief executive, the power of Patriarch Old Buffon was stronger than any of his bosses. Even speaking bluntly, Patriarch Old Buffon was on an equal footing before the president, even if a little higher.
"Hehe, Norton, why are you so courteous with me? I am at the home of Patriarch Buffon. I will ask Patriarch Buffon. You should wait." Locklaring said with a smile.
After Norton listened to Locklaring's words, his heart was relieved. People at the level of Patriarch Buffon could be simply met by just requesting. Since Locklaring said so, it showed that there was still hope for this. Otherwise, he could directly reject him.
But what surprised Norton was the relationship between Locklaring and Patriarch Old Buffon. It seemed that they seemed to be very familiar, and he was still a guest at the home of Patriarch Old Buffon...
I have never heard of Locklaring having such a strong backer. If Locklaring had long been supported by Patriarch Old Buffon, then the position of the mayor would not fall on Mark Vader's head!
So, have they just met? Norton was shocked after thinking about it. Could it be that Locklaring and Patriarch Old Buffon got connected because of today matter? Norton was not stupid. He immediately realized that this was an opportunity to gain trust and support from Patriarch Old Buffon!
If he had the support of Patriarch Old Buffon, he would not lose the position of the bureau chief this time, and he might be able to go further in his future career.
There was no sound on the phone. Norton did not know how long he waited, but he was shocked by the voice on the phone, "Chief Norton? I am Old Buffon..."
Norton was shocked. He did not expect Old Buffon to be so polite to him. He was somewhat flattered. "Hello, Patriarch Buffon. It's me, Norton."
"How is it? Did Mark Vader call you?" asked Old Buffon.
"Yes. Mark Vader ordered me to give a compassionate release to his son, Maligeben, and the lieutenant governor's son, Savin Geese, for medical treatment." Norton said, "But I refused."
"En, in this case, if Mark Vader forces you again, you will take the initiative to resign," said Old Buffon.
"Ah..." Norton was stunned, but then he understood Old Buffon's meaning. Since Old Buffon told him to resign, he must have a backup plan for Norton. He wouldn't let Norton lose his job for nothing. Then he said, "Okay, I understand."
"I won't say anything else. After this matter is finished, you can get close to Locklaring. I believe you two will cooperate very well." Old Buffon said faintly.
The phone was hung up. Norton was still immersed in the last words of Old Buffon.* After the incident, I will cooperate with Locklaring. Does the Patriarch Old Buffon mean that this time, Locklaring will be promoted to be mayor, and I can be appointed as the deputy mayor?*
If that's the case, it was really better. But Mark Vader's term was not over yet, right? However, Norton did not have to think about this. All he had to do now is hold on!
Chief Norton had gotten the assurance from Old Buffon, and he changed his side completely to support the Old Buffon family.
After detaining Savin Geese and Maligeben, Chief Norton received strong protests from Mayor Mark Vader and the lieutenant governor. After being pressured from multiple sides, Chief Norton was in a very passive state.
Mark Vader's lawyer came, but he still couldn't handle Maligeben's compassionate release for medical treatment under Norton's tough attitude. He was so angry that he scolded Norton for not being sensible. When he left, he said ruthlessly, "Norton, you wait. Your bureau chief position is done!"
After listening, Norton just smiled. He thought, I didn't want to be the bureau chief long ago. What is the use of this threat? Isn't it better for me? I don't have to resign myself.
Sure enough, the news that the draft of Mark Vader and the House of Representatives was spread under Norton's expectation. The motion to waive the position of Norton's police chief position had passed the vote of the House of Representatives.
Norton was very simple. This draft was what he asked for right now. Since Mark Vader had removed his position, he did not even have to write a resignation letter. He simply left the police station.
The deputy bureau chief of the police station, Croft, was a confidant of Mark Vader. Mark Vader promptly appointed him as the new acting bureau chief. With Norton present, Croft had been very depressed. Now, he could finally feel proud. He was sitting in the office of the chief comfortably, looking at the potted flowers on the window sill. He thought, Norton, you deserved it.
For the case of Maligeben and Savin Geese, Croft was naturally very clear. But because the case was previously supervised by Norton, he could not intervene. But now it was great. He had become the chief. Wasn't he in charge of it now?
He just wanted to call Mayor Mark Vader to express his gratitude and ask how he should handle the case, but he didn't expect Mark Vader's phone call to come in first.
"Mayor Mark Vader, thank you for your promotion!" Croft picked up the phone and said in fear and trepidation.
"En, you do your best. Don't let me down!" Mark Vader now did not have the time to listen to his words that expressed loyalty. He was just brushing him off. "The most important thing now is to give my son, Maligeben, and Savin Geese a compassionate release for medical treatment. How is it? No problem, right?"
"No problem! No problem!" Croft said quickly. Although the file had instructions from the previous Police Chief Norton that the two suspects were involved in an international dispute and not allowed to apply for compassionate release for medical treatment, now that he was the police chief, he did not have to care about this!
Although the decision to go against the previous police chief was not so good, Croft still insisted on doing it his way. No one could say anything.
"Well, I wait for your good news then." Mark Vader nodded with satisfaction.
Hanging up the phone, Croft began to execute the command of Mark Vader. He disregarded whether he was making a mistake. He commanded his men to handle the formalities of a compassionate release for Maligeben and Savin Geese and then sent them to the best private hospital in the city. In fact, when Yang Ming made a move, he had held back a lot. He only made them feel painful, but it was not fatal.
The two had long woken up, and they were crying along the way. Croft was a little scared. Who the hell did this?Their bones were all broken, but there were no fatal wounds.
The two men were in so much pain that they couldn't speak. So if he wanted to catch the person who hurt them, Croft could only start with the police officers who arrested them with Chief Norton.
"Wyke, were you with Norton previously?" Croft asked a police officer. "Who hurt Maligeben and Savin Geese?"
"We don't know..." Wyke thought, I won't tell you even if I knew. You, dumb*ss, can also be the bureau chief? Isn't it because of you kissing Mark Vader's *ss? Are you as capable as Norton?!
"Weren't you all there at the time? How could you not know?" Croft frowned and asked angrily.
"We were all there, but Chief Norton did not let us go forward. We just arrested two criminal suspects, Maligeben and Savin Geese, and did not do anything else!" Wyke explained.
"Norton is not the chief anymore! He is just an idler now! I am the chief now!" Croft heard Wyke calling Norton as the bureau chief, and he was annoyed. "And, Maligeben and Savin Geese are not suspects; they are the victims!"
"Oh..." Wyke nodded perfunctorily. You are the chief. What you say is right. I will not listen to you anyway.
Croft also knew that he could not ask anything from Wyke. He could only wait for Maligeben and Savin Geese to wake up and then decide... En? Wait. Right, there is another person who should know what happened!
Isn't that person the big celebrity, Shu Ya? She should know the truth of the matter, right? Thinking of it, Croft said, "You go to summon Shu Ya and tell her to come to the police station to cooperate with the investigation."
"Chief Croft, Miss Shu Ya is a Hong Kong foreign guest. We have no right to summon people..." According to local laws, it was necessary to get the consent of the local embassy to summon the foreigners, so this man replied with difficulty.
"Stupid! Just go and bring her back. Do you need me to teach you?" Croft now only thought about how to please Mark Vader. He did not know whether it was illegal to do so. He did not care much. In his opinion, as long as he pleased Mark Vader. Anything would do.
The idiot Norton offended Mayor Mark Vader because he was enforcing the law impartially, and he was dismissed.
"Yes." This man was Croft's man. So when he heard Croft say so, he nodded and agreed. He gathered a few people and began to contact Shu Ya's manager.
These contact methods were prepared in the police station when Shu Ya came, so it was easy for them to contact Shu Ya's manager.
"Are you Miss Shu Ya's manager, Xu Li? I am Police Officer Holzer. There is an important criminal case that we want to ask her to assist in the investigation!" said Holzer.
"Shu Ya has been drugged, and she has not yet recovered. It is already very simple. There is no need to explain." Xu Li said, "Maligeben and Savin Geese had drugged Miss Shu Ya intending to carry out rape. Is there anything to question?"
"No, according to what we know, Miss Shu Ya was playing with Maligeben and Savin Geese, then a thug appeared. He assaulted Maligeben and Savin Geese without saying anything, so we need Miss Shu Ya to assist us in bringing the thug to justice," said Holzer.
"Thug? Assault?" Xu Li was stunned. She still did not know that the police bureau chief had changed. She was somewhat inexplicable. "Are you mistaken? Maligeben and Savin Geese are criminals. Miss Shu Ya could never play with them!"
"We will naturally investigate whether we make a mistake. Now you ask Miss Shu Ya to come to the police station immediately!" Holzer ordered.
"You wait!" For what Holzer said, Xu Li didn't know what was going on, so she quickly dropped the phone and went to ask Yang Ming what she should do.
Yang Ming was now at Shu Ya's bed and holding her hand. Although he knew that Shu Ya was fine, Yang Ming was still accompanying her with an aching feeling. He wanted to see her wake up.
"Or, I will kill the two bastards!" Wang Xiaoyan felt very unhappy when she saw Yang Ming's sad look. She said with hatred, "I will dig their eyes out and step on them like a bubble, and cut off their d*cks and step on them like a bubble too!"
After listening to Wang Xiaoyan's words, Yang Ming couldn't help but smile. Only ruthless people like Wang Xiaoyan could say such words. He shook his head, "Old Buffon has already arranged it. These two people will live not through the night."
"So it has already been arranged! I was still thinking about how to kill them. You did not tell me anything!" Wang Xiaoyan flattened her lips and complained.
