Chapter 246 Kill the Director and Replace Him
If we talk about the police equipment configuration mentioned above, the public may not be familiar with it.
Well, everyone has heard about the construction of the monitoring system.
Some time ago, Mumbai Police Chief Shiva Nandan kept talking about this project. Every time he was interviewed by reporters, he would mention it and said that he had been negotiating with the state Ministry of Home Affairs and hoped that the government would support the advancement of this project.
But the state Ministry of Home Affairs is unwilling to provide any funds for this project.
The state home department has been dragging its feet on the grounds that funds are tight and the project requires huge capital investment.
Therefore, the state Ministry of Home Affairs was suddenly pushed to the forefront.
With Roton's example, everyone can see the benefits of the monitoring system.
It was precisely because of the inaction of the state Ministry of Home Affairs that the serial bombings occurred and caused huge casualties.
Next, some well-informed media got the news from somewhere, and some enthusiastic insiders magically appeared to provide data. It was said that the state home department had recently spent hundreds of millions of rupees to replace a batch of office supplies, such as tables, chairs, pens, paper, etc.
These are nothing. When they are old, it is normal to replace them with new ones.
No matter how hard or tiring it is, you can't suffer any more. The officials are tired after all.
But the problem is that these items are extremely expensive. The same office pen on the market may cost tens of rupees, but the purchase price of the state government is hundreds of rupees.
In short, the prices of various things are several times lower than the market price, while the prices of more than ten or twenty times higher.
It's so blatant.
This is infuriating.
Didn’t you say you have no money?
There is no money to allocate to the police to build a surveillance system.
Why is it so willing to spend money on these unimportant things? It seems that the state Ministry of Home Affairs is not short of money at all, but is unwilling to allocate the money.
In this comparison, the state home department has an additional responsibility.
When people read the news, their first thought is that all the money was embezzled by those bastards in the state’s Ministry of Interior, so there is no money to allocate to the police.
Therefore, the occurrence of the terrorist attack and the resulting heavy casualties cannot be blamed on the police. What fault could the police have done?
Without money and equipment, anyone would be at a loss.
Aris's good mood did not last long.
He did not expect that the public opinion against the state Ministry of Home Affairs would be so fierce.
This is not a good thing. You don’t need to look to know that this is aimed at Harari.
No matter what, Harari, the state's interior minister, will be the first to bear the brunt.
If anything happens to Harari, he will be embarrassed.
Especially since his son's issue has not been resolved yet.
If Harari pulls it, it will be very difficult to solve the problem by myself.
He couldn't even completely solve the problem of his own son. The impact of the Guludi incident was still too great.
Now everyone's attention is attracted by the terrorist attacks, and they are not so concerned about Guludi's affairs.
But this doesn't mean that everyone has forgotten.
Once the terrorist attack here is resolved, the matter of Guludi will definitely be brought up again.
He was very anxious, and it was very important to him whether Harari could resolve this crisis.
But before he could receive good news from Harari, he encountered a huge crisis.
I don’t know which bastard spread the rumor that there was indeed a huge conspiracy behind Mali Trivedi’s car accident, and someone wanted to murder Mali.
The director died, and someone wanted to take his place.
The news quickly spread in some newspapers, and then many newspapers began to reprint it.
Someone wants to replace Mali? Isn't that a clear hint? Isn't it referring to him?
Because he was the deputy director at that time and now he is the director, which is completely consistent with the requirements.
When was he going to kill Mali? And he had no reason to do so.
It was clear that Mali was about to be promoted at that time, and those who were well-informed within the police force knew it.
Even if he did nothing, as long as he waited patiently, after three to five months, when Mali left, he would be able to take over the position of director smoothly.
At this time, if you take the risk of making such a big noise, wouldn't you be asking for trouble?
So the top government officials did not believe this rumor.
But they don't believe it, but the people do.
Even though some people think this matter is a bit strange, they are still willing to believe that there is an inside story, which is consistent with their speculation that a district director had a car accident.
How could such a car accident be just a simple car accident? It is normal that there are all kinds of conspiracies behind it.
Since this news broke, there have obviously been follow-ups.
Soon, someone reported some stories about the online shopping addicts in the newspaper.
For example, the online shopping addicts have actually colluded with Fox and others for a long time and have done many illegal things.
So, everyone immediately thought of the murder of Gollum.
The police investigation concluded that the act was committed by members of the online shopping gang and confirmed that this incident had nothing to do with Fox and his team.
If people were not clear about the relationship between online shopping addicts and Fox before, they might have been able to accept it.
Maybe it really doesn't matter.
But the relationship between the two that has been revealed now is simply too close.
Fox and others once cooperated with the online shopping addicts to steal some of the stolen goods seized by the police, especially nearly one ton of giant macaques, out of the warehouse.
The stolen goods are sold through online shoppers.
There are many people involved in this, such as the Inspector General of Police of the North Central District, Shishji Tomar.
The case of Xishiji caused quite a stir at the time.
The big one was eaten by rats. This is the golden sentence said by Xishiji.
In the end, we found out that all these were eaten by Xishiji, which made us want to beat and skin Xishiji.
Before, everyone thought that this was really done by Xishiji. As an inspector general, his status and position were high enough.
It is normal to collude with online shoppers.
There are many news reports about the police colluding with local gangs in various ways, so it is not surprising.
With Xishiji as the Inspector General and the online shopping addicts, a lot of things can be done.
I didn't expect that there would be such revelations now. It seems that Xishiji, who is already the big boss behind the scenes in everyone's mind, is still just a scapegoat.
The real people behind this, now everyone knows without saying anything, aren't they Fuchs, Lelau and others? They rely on their father's power to do all kinds of evil things.
So at this time, they no longer believed the police at all about the truth of the Guludi case, especially since the conclusion given by the police was obviously a trick in their eyes.
The people became even more angry. In their opinion, the police and related forces were making fun of them.
They have become more radical, and if we fail to give them a satisfactory answer, the consequences will be serious.
The public had already reached a conclusion in their minds, that is, Fox and his men asked the members of the online shopping gang to kill Gollumi to silence him.
The police's previous conclusion was obviously influenced by the power behind Fox, and they used members of the online shopping gang as scapegoats.
Everyone was already unhappy about this matter, and now that everyone has these revelations, they feel that they have found evidence.
Now they ask the police to investigate Foss and others. If they don't, this matter will not be over.
The son hired someone to kill someone to silence him and steal other people's wealth.
I hired someone to kill my boss in order to seize his position.
Doesn’t this all fit in?
As expected of father and son, their work styles are so similar.
There may be logical problems in these matters, but the public is still very consistent in their attitude towards this matter.
This was enough for them to conclude that Fox and Aris were guilty.
If it was said that it was just Aris who asked the online shopping addicts to kill Mali, some senior officials in the government would definitely not believe it.
But now, with Fox's close relationship with online shoppers, many of the government's top brass have become shaken.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
In their opinion, it is possible that Aris could use the power of the gang to get rid of his boss and then take over as soon as possible.
They are not unaware of the relationship between Aris and Harari.
They also know that Harari wants to reach out to the police so that he can have more influence over them.
As for the government, they certainly agree with Harari's approach.
But that doesn't mean they agree with Aris's use of murdering his boss to get to the top.
If they set such a precedent, the people below would follow suit and might even kill one of them and try to replace him.
It can be said that this matter concerns their safety and interests and must be taken seriously.
Aris couldn't bear the pressure anymore, so he went to Harari's residence.
"Did you do it?" Harari asked with a grim face.
"Mr. Minister, how could I be so stupid as to do such a thing?" Aris really wanted to cry but had no tears.
Am I a fool?
This kind of desperate thing is usually done as a last resort.
I haven't even reached that point, what's the point?
Harari thought so too, but the recent public opinion about Aris was so explosive that even his thoughts were affected.
He was able to react and realized that Aris couldn't have done it.
But what about the people?
They are not as rational as I am.
Besides, many people don’t have any ideas of their own, they just join in the fun and stir up trouble.
"What should I do?" Aris asked anxiously.
If this matter is not handled properly, the consequences will be serious.
He might even lose his position as director.
He didn't want to lose these.
Harari is very upset because too many things have gone wrong recently.
He himself is caught in the whirlpool of public opinion.
There are calls for him to resign.
Fortunately, the Chief Minister has not made any statement yet and still supports me.
After all, he did this in order to suppress the power of the police and give the government greater influence over the police.
But who could have imagined the serial bombings? And the crappy surveillance system?
This was definitely beyond everyone's expectations, and he naturally would not have thought of it.
It has only been a few years since the 2008 terrorist attack, so how come another terrorist attack of such a large scale happened again?
Regardless of whether it was due to carelessness or not, Harari felt that he was very unlucky.
If this hadn't happened, the police would never have shown their teeth to us.
Now the police have almost cleared themselves of any responsibility and put all the blame on themselves. This is really outrageous.
As for the high-priced purchases by the Ministry of the Interior, of course he knew about it.
This was done before, not just by him, but also by his predecessors and predecessors. Who wouldn’t want to make money from the government? Government procurement is the best opportunity to make money and get kickbacks.
As the minister, he naturally reaps the lion's share of the benefits.
In the past, this would have been nothing.
Or maybe it was just the wrong timing. I was just unlucky to have encountered something like this. Now, any small matter will be carefully scrutinized by the media and the public with a magnifying glass.
Small things will become big things.
"Let your son bear the guilt," Harari said after thinking for a while.
"Ah?" Aris' cheeks trembled. "How can this be? Mali's car accident has nothing to do with me."
I didn't do such a thing at all, why should I let my son confess the crime?
"What's the point of you telling me?" Harari glanced at him and said indifferently, "I believe you, but people outside don't. In the current situation, no matter how you explain, they can't believe it or satisfy them. You can only sacrifice your relatives for the sake of justice. This may ease the anger of those people and suppress this matter. Otherwise, you don't have to be a policeman. You can decide for yourself. Besides, I didn't ask your son to directly admit to hiring a killer. You can say that you didn't know about it. It was your son who took the initiative to find someone to scare Mali. Who knew that the guy who bought his hands missed and accidentally caused a serious car accident..."
Aris felt a chill in his heart.
Even so, it was his own son who was sacrificed in the end.
This is his own son, not Harari's son, so he doesn't feel sorry for him.
Aris really wanted to ask, why not let your son take the blame? But he certainly couldn't say that, because he still had to rely on Harari.
Aris' heart was throbbing.
He understood that Harari's method was indeed a reliable method at present.
This matter must be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise if those people continue to make trouble, the impact will definitely become bigger and bigger, and I will not be able to hold on to my position as the director.
If this matter had been resolved earlier, he might have been able to keep his identity as a police officer.
That is, all this was done by his son, he was unaware of it, and he put the blame on his son.
As for the position of director, there is basically no possibility for me to hold that position again.
I must give up this position.
However, as long as he can keep his current police rank and wait until Harari passes this test, I believe he will still have a chance to regain a powerful position.
If this matter cannot be resolved as soon as possible, it will not be as simple as removing a director's position, and the police rank will probably be demoted.
As for if his son was really arrested, even if he went to jail, as long as he was safe, there were plenty of ways to get him out.
At most he would just have to stay in jail for a while. With his connections, he wouldn't encounter any problems in jail and might even live a good life. It's no big deal.
The most important thing now is to calm the people's emotions. As long as their emotions are stable, this matter will soon be forgotten.
