VIP Suite 705 of Red Rose Hotel.
Lu Ming sat on the red sandalwood couch with hollow wooden chairs and thick scarlet cushions, flipping through a document in his hand.
On the single sofa next to the coffee table sat Hofers, the owner of the casino and hotel with a wry smile on his face.
At noon, the fat man Piduer died of his injuries on the way to the hospital.
Grandma Tuolong’s attack was definitely neither serious nor serious. It can only be said that this guy’s underlying disease was too serious. He was hit hard by Granny Camel Long and caused a myocardial infarction, and he died suddenly on the spot.
The identity of this fat man Piduer is very important. Not only is he one of the wealthy businessmen in Shengjing and a famous sugar king, but most importantly, he is the son-in-law of Baron Rodson, the chief director of the public board of directors.
Hofers, who was sitting on one side, was filled with bitterness and didn't know if he had made a wrong bet.
In a short period of time, this commissioner almost became enemies of the Westerners in the Central District.
The Montenegro Concession resolutely implements its own laws, which originally made the Westerners in the Central District very dissatisfied. In the past, they were the only ones in the Northern Territory who had various privileges, but they did not expect that the Montenegrins who came would be ruled by them. Territory, implement your own Montenegrin privileges.
Tobacco king James, one of the three Western directors of the public board of directors, is extremely dissatisfied with the implementation of his own laws in the Montenegro concession. In this case, not only will it be difficult for his tobacco to enter the Heishan concession area, but also in other areas of Shengjing. Selling it may inadvertently violate the laws of the Montenegrin concession area, because the extraterritoriality of the East China Sea system is too strong. For example, if a Montenegrin person takes Fushou drugs in other areas and develops health problems, it is very likely that the Montenegrin concession court will Accept the lawsuit filed by the victim's family against the tobacco shop.
James, now I can’t wait to drive the Black Mountain Concession out of Shengjing.
Houghton, the boss of Guanglifa, is being sued to the Concession Court and wants to meet with Commissioner Zhang, but Commissioner Zhang ignores him at all, making Holden hate the commissioner until his teeth itch.
Houghton’s brother-in-law is Pally, another Western director of the public board of directors.
Now, the son-in-law of Baron Rodson, the chief director, was beaten to death by Commissioner Zhang's retinue.
In other words, Commissioner Zhang has successfully angered all three Western directors of the public board of directors and most of the Western people, and his sarcasm skills are almost at full capacity.
Although Hofers had a forced smile on his face, his heart was as miserable as Coptis. He had worked so hard to make friends with this guy, and even gave him all his favorite things that he had finally found the opportunity to do, but he was on a bus everywhere. A leaky pirate ship.
"The Central District Patrol Office wants me to hand over someone? That's impossible. My Long Po is old and can't stand being disturbed. She is also in the hospital now. If she wants to assist in the investigation, she can definitely do it. Just go to the hospital to get a confession." Lu Ming Putting down the letter, he looked at Hofers, "Old Huo, it's not that I don't want to give you face. Even if Baron Rodson comes in person, I will say the same thing. Let's just follow the law, right? If the prosecutor of the Central District wants to prosecute Luang Po, no matter what the crime is, we will respond."
Hofers was stunned and said with a wry smile: "Commissioner, there is no room for change. Do you want to confront Baron Rodson? He originally said that if you make friends, you can still consider making peace with him. Your relationship will not be affected by this incident."
Lu Ming smiled: "It doesn't matter whether we are against each other. I told you, don't we have laws in Shengjing? Just follow the legal procedures."
Hofers was dumbfounded. Even if Commissioner Zhang handed someone over to Baron Rodson to vent his anger immediately, he would have to apologize and make sincere compensation before Baron Rodson would "consider" not to affect the relationship with Commissioner Zhang. relation.
But I didn’t expect that this commissioner was simply a psychopath and wanted to be the enemy of the whole world.
"You can think about it again, and I'll think of a solution." Hofers stood up with a wry smile.
Beggy, who had been sitting uneasily in the corner, hurriedly got up and sent him out, but when she opened the door, Hofers' assistant came in a hurry and whispered a few words to him. Hofers' expression changed again.
He turned around and walked in, helplessly saying: "Mr. Commissioner, the stock price of Pidur's Sugar Company has plummeted. The news from the securities has been absorbed by the Black Mountain Investment Company in large quantities?"
Lu Ming smiled: "I don't know, but I won't interfere with market behavior."
It is true that I don’t know, but Lever, who is at the helm of the Black Mountain Investment Company, is a pure businessman and will not worry about anything else. With such a good opportunity, he will naturally take action.
This was also the reason why I selected him. From a professional perspective, he had nothing to fault.
Looking at Hofers, Lu Ming smiled and said: "Old Huo, don't think too much. I still like your friend very much. I hope that our friendship will become stronger and stronger in the future."
Hofers smiled bitterly, "I hope so too." He turned around and left with a heavy heart.
Bei Ji came back after closing the door, sat next to Lu Ming, and whispered: "I'm sorry, it's all my fault."
Lu Ming shook his head: "What does it have to do with you? This Pidu'er has done a lot of evil. The current disaster is also caused by his usual behavior. Don't worry about Long Po's lawsuit. It won't be a big deal."
"No, sir, don't underestimate the person Pidur knows, he..."
Lu Ming waved his hand: "I will never underestimate any opponent, but in fact, the Westerners in Shengjing are just paper tigers."
These words are true. Although it seems that Westerners control Shengjing, in fact, what I am really studying is the overt and covert struggle between the four warlords here.
As for the Westerners, they are nothing more than enshrined clay and wood sculptures. They don’t even have an army. In the Northern Territory, what’s the point of talking about strength? What is it if it’s not a toothless tiger?
After all, nowadays, it is difficult for the empire to provide shelter for Westerners far away in the northern region.
It's just this layer of window paper that hasn't been pierced yet.
Furthermore, the recognition of the management of Westerners in Shengjing by the four major governors is also a kind of balance. In this way, everyone can make a fortune in Shengjing and seek their own interests. At the same time, they can use these Westerners to build factories, invest, and introduce southern technology.
If there were no Westerners as a buffer, Shengjing would not know what kind of chaos it would be.
Over there, Bei Ji lowered her head and said nothing after listening to Lu Ming's words.
Lu Ming said at this time: "Long Po, please stay here. These days, I am a little worried about Bei Ji and her daughter."
Beiji looked in shock at the hunchbacked old maid who appeared beside Lu Ming at some point. Shouldn't she be in the hospital?
Lu Ming smiled, but it was hard to explain.
The one in the hospital is the fake Camel Dragon Granny. She is really a sick old lady. Yuluan has changed her appearance, so she can really treat her illness.
In fact, the disguise technique of Liuli lineage is to use secret methods to change the shape of the muscles on the face, the throat is also slightly changed, and the sound of the vocal cords is different, but it cannot really completely change any person into another person. The appearance of real people.
For example, my facial muscles are suitable for becoming Commissioner Zhang, but I can also transform into other more suitable face shapes.
As for the disguise of Granny Hunchback, because no one will really take a close look at her appearance, the hair and hunchback effects will look very similar, and she can just mess around with her face.
If you really want to fake someone, you have to find a more suitable face shape, and you have to go through a lot of trouble to fake it.
"Sir, you have to be careful." When Lu Ming stood up and prepared to leave, Beiji whispered worriedly. She was probably worried that this man would disappear without a trace, just like many people who had offended him before. In general, the bodies of Tour's people were not found.
