Chapter 250: The State Interior Minister's Sniper

Harari was in the office listening to his secretary's report, which was not about work, but about his son's affairs.

"That's all, Mr. Minister." After the secretary finished his report, he carefully observed Harari.

He found that Harari's face looked normal and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.

But he knew very well that the Minister must be extremely angry.

If it were me, that would definitely be the case.

This time, the police didn't give the Minister any face at all.

According to the police investigation and prosecution, Lai Lao's crime is very serious. Under normal circumstances, he would probably be sentenced to more than ten years in prison and would have to pay billions of rupees in compensation.

"Mr. Minister, should we talk to the police?" The secretary asked in a low voice when he saw that Harari had not said anything for a while.

After all, the relationship between the Ministry of the Interior and the police is relatively close, and some things can still be discussed. Is it necessary to be so disrespectful?

"No need." Harari finally said, "Roton's actions were obviously approved by the top police officers. Going to them at this time will not change the outcome. Isn't this just asking for humiliation?"

"Then?" The secretary didn't know what to say.

After all, Lai Lao is the minister's son, he can't just do nothing.

"Let's just let the police handle the matter of Llau for now. If we intervene, the police will catch us and the media will make a fuss about it, which will be very disadvantageous to me and the Ministry of the Interior," said Harari.

The evidences presented by the police were indeed very solid and difficult to refute.

He actually knew what his son had done, and it was indeed difficult to wash away the blame.

Especially when the police obviously wanted to target Lailao, it would be difficult for us to tamper with the evidence.

All he could do was to ask his lawyer to try his best to mitigate Leilao's guilt in court.

Of course, the final operation must still take place in prison.

After a period of time, this kind of thing will gradually fade out of people's sight.

By then, I will have plenty of ways to get Lai Lao out.

It is totally unnecessary and unwise to confront the police head-on now.

"I heard that the position of Chief of the North Central District Police Department is still vacant?" Harari asked.

The secretary was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect why Harari suddenly asked this.

"Yes, I heard that this position is reserved for Rawdon." The secretary said, "But judging from the current situation, there is indeed no one who can compete with Rawdon for this position."

Luo Dun's prestige has been very high recently.

In fact, Luo Dun’s prestige among the people has always been like this, and he is an idol worshipped by everyone.

Being in charge of the case this time has brought Rawdon's reputation to a new level.

At this time, who can compete with him for the position of district director?

Especially since Rawdon was the deputy chief of the district police station, and when the chief had problems, the promotion of the deputy chief was a routine operation in most cases.

After all, cases of parachuting in a director are rare.

"What a joke?" Harari sneered. "Roden is just a second-level superintendent. How can he be qualified to be the district chief?"

"Mr. Minister, after this case, Rawdon will definitely be promoted. This is already an open secret among the police," said the secretary.

There was no doubt in anyone's mind that there would be no problem at all in having Rawdon promoted to a higher rank afterwards.

After Rawdon became a first-class superintendent, it was only natural for him to take over as district police chief.

The top police officials had already paved the way for Rawdon, so these were not a problem at all.

"That was after that. He is not even a first-class superintendent yet," Harari said coldly. "With a district police chief position vacant, what are the police doing? It's not like there are no first-class superintendents. There are many people who can be district chiefs. Are they trying to abuse their power for personal gain and appoint people based on personal connections? Our Ministry of the Interior cannot ignore this matter."

The secretary was stunned.

Come to think of it.

Luoton wants to be promoted to first-class superintendent, but he can only be promoted after this case is over and he is rewarded for his merits.

The case is not over yet, and Rawdon's contribution has not yet been counted.

As such, it was naturally impossible for Rawdon to be promoted to first-class superintendent.

Besides, there are many first-class police superintendents who are idle now and they don’t hold any real power positions.

If the Minister were to bring this matter up, it would definitely cause dissatisfaction among these first-class police superintendents.

Previously, the top police officials had suppressed the voices of these first-level superintendents because Rawdon had made great contributions to the police and they could not compete.

But now that the Minister has made this matter clear, it is obvious that he wants to support these first-level police superintendents. I believe that there will always be some people who will jump out.

This is an open conspiracy, the purpose of which is to divide the police or to sow discord.

Everyone may be able to see the intention of this, but when faced with the position of a district police chief, how many people can resist the temptation?

This location is so attractive. Who would want to miss it if given the chance?

"But sir, even if Rawdon doesn't become the district chief this time, he can definitely be promoted to first-class superintendent based on his merits," said the secretary.

"Did I say anything about stopping Roton from being promoted to First-Class Superintendent?" Harari glanced at his secretary and said calmly, "Roton's merits this time will lead to his promotion to First-Class Superintendent, and no one can stop him. But it's not so easy for a First-Class Superintendent to take up an important position of power. Maybe Shiva and the others will find a way to arrange an important position for Roton as compensation, but Roton will definitely not get the position of Chief of the Northern Central District Police Station in the short term."

After hearing this, the secretary finally understood.

It turns out that this is the Minister's intention, which is mainly to target Roton's specific position.

For example, there are only a few positions for a district police chief in Mumbai.

Those who can sit in this position usually have background and connections, otherwise they would not be able to get it at all.

Therefore, these people cannot be easily replaced.

At the level of Superintendent of Police, the post of District Police Chief in Maharashtra, Mumbai is definitely the best.

Others may hold leadership positions in general bureaus or regions.

But over there, none of them is the top boss.

How can it be as comfortable as being the district police chief in a metropolis like Mumbai?

As long as Luoton is sniped this time, he will definitely not have the chance to become the district director in the next few years.

"I understand, Mr. Minister. I will contact the media now and hype this matter up first." The secretary said immediately.

"Go ahead."

Harari is very satisfied with his secretary, who is reliable in his work.

You can understand a lot of things at a glance, so you don’t have to worry too much.

Let public opinion arise first, and then we can put pressure on the police to decide on the district police chief first.

If that kid Rotten wants this position, he won't be able to get it as long as I'm here.

Although in his opinion, the instigators of the attack on him and his son were senior police officials such as Shiva.

But Rawdon played a very important role in it, even a very crucial one.

For example, the monitoring system.

If it weren't for the donations that Rawdon raised and the use of these funds to build a surveillance system in the northern central district, there would have been a clear contrast with other districts during the terrorist attacks, which would have made him, the state's interior minister, very passive.

Otherwise, the responsibility for this terrorist attack will definitely fall on the police. What does it have to do with the Ministry of the Interior? Rawdon played a very important role in this.

This is also the reason why the senior police officers protect Roton so much and give him various benefits.

For the top police officers, especially Shiva, this was a lifesaver.

Therefore, he was not lenient towards Rodon.

Of course he would ruin this kid's good deeds.

Harari doesn't care too much about who will be the chief of the North Central District Police Department in the future, as long as it is not Rodon.

Because Rotun was the candidate originally chosen by the police top brass, as long as the final candidate was not Rotun, his sabotage would be considered a success.

The authority of the top police officers will certainly be undermined by this.

This is his revenge. Do you really think that I can't do anything to the police? The police have been getting carried away recently. I have to make them realize the situation.

Even if his power is affected, he can still influence the police.

This is a warning, a warning to Rodon, and even more so a warning to senior police officials such as Shiva.

Warn them not to take themselves too seriously.

He is still the state home minister.

…

"Rodun, this is a very unexpected incident, and the General Administration is in a difficult situation." Shiva looked at Rodun in front of him and sighed, "But don't worry, you lost the position of district director this time, but I will definitely give you a satisfactory position next time."

"Director, I have no objection to the arrangement from above," said Roton.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Having said that, Luoton was actually very depressed because his position as district police chief was lost.

Among the first-class superintendents of police, is there any better post than the Commissioner of Police, Mumbai District?

Maybe Shiva will give himself some compensation later and give himself some important position.

For example, a powerful position in the Mumbai Police Department, or being transferred directly to the General Administration, will also be some powerful department.

But these are still far behind the powerful district police chief.

In the district police station, the chief has the final say and is the top figure.

In the Mumbai Police Department or in the General Administration, there are many superiors.

Even if you are valued by your boss, they are still your superiors, right? Every time you see them at work, you have to smile or something, right? And your power will be greatly restricted.

But for now, he had to accept this result.

The Chief of the North Central District Police Station knew that he had no chance this time.

Who could have imagined that news about this director candidate would suddenly flood the media.

A lot of doubts came.

Of course, these doubts were not mainly directed at himself, but at senior officials such as the Maharashtra Police Director General and the Mumbai Police Commissioner.

These reports stated that Rawdon had indeed made great contributions, but he was only a second-level police inspector after all.

It is obviously unfair to reserve a district director position specifically for him.

They approve of Rawdon and are very opposed to the actions of the police top brass, believing that they have violated the principles of fairness and justice.

They questioned the police top brass, saying that except for Rawdon, all other first-class superintendents were useless. Such questions made the police top brass very embarrassed.

If they insisted on leaving the position of district chief to Rawdon, wouldn't it really make people think that the other first-level police superintendents were incompetent?

This will also lead to conflicts within the police force.

If they didn't give this position to Rawdon, the police top brass would feel sorry for him.

In short, this put a lot of pressure on the police.

Of course, the public's reactions were not unanimous, and they were not led by the media.

Most people think there is nothing wrong with Rawdon being appointed as the chief of the North Central District Police Department.

Maybe there are some first-class police inspectors who are good, but they are definitely far inferior to Rawdon.

A policeman like Rawdon who is not afraid of power and is so upright should be entrusted with important tasks.

It is only natural that he should be appointed as the district director.

But this time, the people's voices did not have that much influence.

The power of speech lies in the hands of the media.

This leaves the police with no choice but to respond to the matter.

As the impact of the terrorist attack is still there, the police do not want to create any more trouble now, otherwise it will be easy for the government to find an opportunity.

Both Rodon and Shiva knew that it was Harari who was behind this.

But after this incident broke out, it was indeed found that the police were at fault in terms of procedures, and they really couldn't do anything to him.

The timing is so awkward. If Rawdon's case is over, the police can naturally promote Rawdon to a higher rank immediately and then appoint him as district chief.

The problem is that these cases have not been concluded yet. Such a big case cannot be concluded just like that.

Not to mention that the case has not been fully investigated yet. Even if I have completed the investigation, it will take time to complete the case-closing procedures. It will be too late.

Harari seized the opportunity and dealt Rodon a fatal blow.

It has to be said that this was a major blow to Rawdon's police career.

It is very likely that his originally smooth promotion would be greatly affected.

It didn't ruin anyone's future, but it did waste a lot of Luoton's time.

This kind of sniping is no less than killing parents.

Originally, Roton thought that this was basically the end of the matter regarding Harari.

We are unable to remove him from his position as minister, and this is the final result.

I didn't expect that he would dare to jump out and target me.

It is true that he is a second-level police inspector, but that may not be a big deal in Harari's eyes.

Even with the identity of CBI special investigation commissioner, Harari obviously does not care too much because of the power behind him.

That's why Harari dares to target me.

However, I have made note of this matter.

If I don't kill this old bastard in the future, I won't be able to swallow my anger.

"I'm sorry for wronging you in this matter." Shiva said.

He was still very satisfied with Rawdon's answer.

Roton still put the overall situation first and didn't care about these things.

This made him feel that he owed Roton even more.

Luoton has made a great contribution this time. Otherwise, even if he did not resign as the director, there would be changes in the competition for the position of director of the Mabang General Administration after this terrorist attack.

Of course, Roton also understood what was going on here. As long as Shiva was fine and he continued to move forward.

Everything I lost this time can be made up in the future.

When Shiva becomes the director of the General Administration, there will be plenty of opportunities to make greater compensation to himself.

So at this time, I cannot feel bad about not becoming the district director.

If I really dwell on this matter, it will make things difficult for Shiva.

This is not a wise choice.

Suffering a small loss now makes Shiva feel that he owes himself, and he believes that he will get greater benefits in the future.

Many times, we as subordinates need to know how to advance and retreat.

You cannot use your achievements to make things difficult for your leader.
