Chapter 254 Hiding behind the scenes as the emperor

After Rawdon knew that Fares was transferred to Mumbai, his original position as deputy chief of Pune District was promoted to that of Pune District Police Chief Sit Walmart.

Sit was originally a second-class superintendent, and his rank was promoted one level, and he is now a first-class superintendent.

It can be said that every job transfer will involve the future of countless people.

After Sit's promotion, someone will definitely take over his original position as the chief of the Pune District Police Station, and so on.

Sit and Rotten have a good relationship, and Rotten is of course happy for Sit's promotion.

This can also be considered as the network of relationships that Rawdon has established in the police system.

"Director!" Roton entered the director's office and prepared to report to the new director.

The welcome ceremony for the new director has just ended, and now we have to talk about work matters.

"Ah, Rotten, come and sit down!" Fares hurriedly stood up from his chair, then came out from behind the desk, and he and Rotten sat down on the sofa in front.

This means being treated equally and on an equal footing.

Generally speaking, when subordinates come in to report on their work, it is very good for the director to ask them to sit down. It is impossible for the director to come out from behind the desk.

Fares knew well what the future held for Rawdon.

How could he be the district director? He did not dare to neglect the deputy director Luo Dun at all.

It can be said that as long as Rawdon is in the police station, he can even listen to Rawdon on many matters.

After all, Rawdon will be promoted to first-class superintendent soon, and then their police ranks will be the same, and they will be equal in this respect.

The higher-ups will use Rawdon in important positions, and after he is promoted to first-class superintendent, it will be impossible for Rawdon to be the deputy director here anymore.

In other words, Rawdon will be transferred soon.

So what is there for me to fight with Roton for?

When Rawdon was still in the police station, he would support whatever he wanted to do.

No matter what, he and Roden are from the same family and can support each other.

Therefore, he was still very clear about his position and just did his job of cooperating with Roton for the time being.

After all, all the cases during this period were handled by Roton, and as a new director, he knew nothing about these things.

If you intervene and are not familiar with the matter, you might end up causing trouble.

Besides, there was no need for him to offend Rotun. It would not be too late to send Rotun away after a while and then establish his own authority as the director.

Naturally, Roton could feel what Fares was thinking.

He did not mean to undermine Fares' power. After all, he would not be here for long and would leave soon.

But now that Fares had delegated power like this, Rotten was still very satisfied.

Fortunately, he is one of us, otherwise it would be quite troublesome.

After all, the other party is the director and legally holds the power in the police station.

Half a month later, Rawdon finally received an order from the Central Bureau of Investigation to participate in the investigation of the Andy Mutu case.

Since this case is of great importance and involves many telecom operators in various states across the country, Luoton is only responsible for the Mabang side.

The person in charge cannot be Roden, but rather the director of CBI's Maharashtra branch, Vides Jha, with Roden assisting in the investigation as a special investigation commissioner.

Normally, for these investigations, the CBI would cooperate with the local police, with the police providing manpower and so on.

Roton is a special investigation commissioner of the CBI and an officer of the Maharashtra police. Most importantly, Roton has close connections with senior members of the Maharashtra police.

This is definitely the best person for CBI.

With Rawdon acting as a liaison, I believe the cooperation between CBI and the police will be very pleasant.

In many cases, the police will certainly support the CBI’s request for cooperation.

But there are some special cases.

That is, if the local police or government resists the CBI's investigation, they may interfere.

They cooperate openly but secretly make trouble. Even the Central Bureau of Investigation cannot do anything to the police about this kind of thing.

With Roton around, Vides believed that his mission this time would be more successful than in other states.

He also wants to go further. The director of the state branch is not his ultimate goal, but the director general of CBI is it.

The term of office of the current director Sharif is almost up. He is not at an advantage in terms of age, so even if he is re-elected, he can probably only serve one more term.

Moreover, Sharif might just step back.

Then he, Vides, is a strong contender for the next director of the General Administration.

Even if Sharif is elected again in the next term, he will still have a chance in the next term.

Although there are distinctions between the positions of Director General, Deputy Director and Directors of State Branches, their police ranks are actually the same, Commissioner General of Police.

They are all qualified to compete for the position of director of the general administration.

The fact that he can serve as the branch director of a major economic state like Mabang is a testament to his strength.

Having received the order from CBI, Roden immediately reported to Vides and accepted Vides' task assignment.

"Rotten, I didn't expect that we could cooperate again." Wides smiled and asked Rotten to sit down.

He had a good impression of Rawdon.

He was very satisfied with the steady flow of income from the coal mine.

The last time Roton conducted an investigation into the state's Ministry of the Interior, Vides actually cooperated.

The Central Bureau of Investigation is very respectful.

If they really don't agree, Mabang may not be able to stop them.

Once the Central Bureau of Investigation intervenes, the earthquake in Maharashtra's political arena will probably be much more serious than it is now.

Of course, Rodon himself was also a member of the Central Bureau of Investigation, so Sharif, the director general, did not insist.

"No, it's not cooperation, I'm just following your orders." Roton said immediately.

Vides could be polite to him, but Roton wouldn't really take it seriously.

After all, he is your superior and you need to respect him.

Vides laughed.

He still admired Rawdon very much.

It's not just because Rotun is also a member of their CBI, the most important thing is that Rotun holds a high position at his age. In the future, Rotun will definitely be the number one figure in the police system.

No one wants to offend such a young person with great potential.

These people now have higher status and greater power than Roton, but they also have to consider some things after retirement.

This is not just for themselves, they also have to consider their future generations.

If he had a friend like Luoton, his children and nephews would at least have an extra supporter in the future.

"Okay, let's get down to business." Vides immediately stopped smiling. "I went to the Delhi headquarters a few days ago, and the director held a special meeting on this matter..."

Listening to Vides' words, Roton began to ponder in his mind.

The case against Andy Mutu is a big one this time, even the CBI is a little nervous.

For this matter, Director General Sharif specially summoned the directors of the state branches to a meeting at the Delhi headquarters.

How in-depth and how wide the investigation needs to be requires a set tone and a defined scope of investigation.

This time, Sharif himself was unsure, so he called a meeting of the branch directors to discuss and listen to everyone's opinions.

Roton probably understood Sharif's current state of mind.

Although the Congress Party could not withstand the pressure from the opposition and finally agreed to the CBI to investigate Andymuthu.

But Sharif must have been told privately by his superiors to favor Andy Mutu during the investigation.

In other words, the Congress Party asked the CBI to investigate this time in order to eliminate the public’s grievances.

The government will say, look everyone, we have asked the CBI to investigate.

This can indeed calm the angry people a little.

However, Rawdon was well aware of the Congress Party's approach and knew that in the end they would definitely ask the Central Bureau of Investigation to issue a report to mitigate the crimes of Andy Muttu and his gang.

Not really going to know how they are.

In other words, the stick is raised high and dropped lightly, purely to fool people.

But Sharif knew very well that if he really wanted to follow the Congress Party's wishes, the opposition would definitely not let him go.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

At that time, he, as the Director General of the CBI, will become the target of public criticism and a shield for the Congress Party.

When the time comes, Sharif believes that the Congress Party will definitely put the blame on him.

Since these investigation results were produced by the CBI, he, as the director general, naturally has to bear the primary responsibility.

Then his end will probably not be good.

There is a high probability that it will be liquidated.

Even if the Congress Party has made some promises to him now, such as guaranteeing his safety, etc., if Andy Mutu and others are let off lightly, this matter will basically become a big deal.

Someone has to take responsibility, right? It's impossible to let Prime Minister Manmohan take the responsibility, right? So Sharif summoned Vides and other branch directors to the Delhi headquarters to discuss countermeasures.

This time, the case is extremely dangerous for CBI.

It will not only have a huge impact on Sharif personally, but also on Vides and others.

If this matter fails, the reputation of their CBI will probably plummet.

You should know that some people, whether politicians or the media, have long pointed out that the current CBI has too much power and needs to be rectified.

They called on the government to cut some of the powers of the CBI.

It is foreseeable that if they really let Andy Mutu go this time, the power of CBI in the future may be greatly reduced.

This is something that Vides and his men don't want to see.

A branch director like Vides is like the emperor hidden behind the scenes in each state.

Whether it is the local police, judicial departments or government politicians, they are all very afraid of them.

If their power was small, would these guys still be afraid of them?

Without corresponding absolute power, the deterrent effect will be greatly reduced.

So, they are united in retaining the power of CBI.

After two days of discussion, we finally came to a preliminary decision.

That is, it is definitely not possible to let Andy Mutu and his gang off easily.

However, Andy Mutu's identity is too special. If he is arrested, the Congress Party will not be able to explain.

So, they decided to start with other people.

There are some people around Andy Mutu, or some operators. Some of these people will have to become scapegoats this time.

In other words, if the CBI does not arrest a group of people in this investigation, it will definitely not be able to explain to the public.

It is difficult to move against key figures like Andy Mutu for the time being, so we can only move against some of the relatively weaker ones among them. This should be able to appease the public's anger.

This was the final decision made by Sharif and others.

After listening to what Widdes said, Roton understood why they made such a decision.

This is a compromise.

Logically speaking, there shouldn't be any problem with this.

As long as Andy Mutu and other key figures are fine, I believe the Congress Party will understand and make the best of a small matter.

If the public saw so many people being arrested and liquidated, and then with media publicity and government intervention, I believe it would be able to gain some advantage in public opinion.

This time, though, Rawdon didn't think it was a good idea.

Judging from subsequent developments, important figures such as Andy Mutu were dismissed and arrested. Although they were acquitted in 2017, it at least shows that at this moment, the Central Bureau of Investigation could not withstand the pressure from the opposition.

In the end, they could only arrest important figures such as Andy Mutu, instead of arresting some minor figures as they wanted now.

It is precisely because of this that Sharif and his team’s plan will fail.

What exactly happened here, Rawdon was not quite sure.

I don’t know whether it was because the Congress Party backed down or because the opposition put too much pressure on it.

If the Congress Party backed down, then Sharif’s arrest of Andy Muttu and others should have been approved by the Congress Party, which would be fine.

If the CBI arrested people simply because it was unable to withstand the opposition and the surging public opinion, then they would have offended the Congress Party.

After all, the Congress wants the CBI's investigation into Andy Muttu to be a formality, not to arrest him, otherwise Sharif's career would be in big trouble.

Rotun remembered that Sharif failed to be re-elected as the director of the CBI and soon retired to the second line. Rotun didn't quite believe that Sharif had nothing to do with this matter.

After all, Sharif is capable of doing another job under normal circumstances given his age.

In fact, Sharif is actually quite cooperative with the government. For example, in the last incident with Ashok, he protected the interests of the Congress Party and saved Ashok.

Logically speaking, such a CBI director is a good person, and the government should support his re-election.

But something went wrong. Sharif failed to be re-elected, and this is a big problem.

Luoton did not think much about it. It was not his turn to say anything about these things. He could only take care of himself and try his best to find some benefits for himself in this incident and avoid as much trouble as possible. That would be considered a success.

This matter involves too many things, and Roton has a clear understanding of his own position, which is that he can participate, but not get too involved.

Of course, his current position in the CBI is still too low, which means he is not likely to get involved too deeply.

It is not my turn to make decisions on things like arresting Andy Mutu.

That is the responsibility of the General Administration, or even Sharif himself.

I am just cooperating with Vides to investigate some relevant personnel in Mabang.

During the investigation, I can reasonably use the power of the special investigation commissioner to target Harari.

Harari is the state interior minister of Maharashtra and holds an extraordinary status.

But in the Andy Mutu case, Harari is just one of many big names, not one of the top ones.

So, Rotun had no fear at all towards him.

Aren't people like Harari just used as shields and scapegoats?

"Here's the list." Vides handed a sealed document to Rawdon. "It was decided at the Delhi meeting."

This is a top-secret document discussed at their meeting, which contains a preliminary list of people to be dealt with. These people are scapegoats to appease the public's anger.

Only in this way can some key figures such as Andy Mutu be eliminated.
