Chapter 44 Substitutional Thinking

Roger noticed that everyone around him was looking at him, and his little ears heard some Sicilian sighs.

"Alas, the Bonello family line is about to end..."

"Back then, I fought with the earl all my life..."

"You useless prodigal son..."

Roger was not bloodthirsty, he decided to give the other party a chance.

He said: "I spare your life, but your offense must be punished. I order you to go to the Holy Land and fight under the command of Baron Rollo. Use glory to wash away your shame until all your sins are redeemed."

Leng Touqing's eyes, which originally had only the look of death, gradually gained a glimmer of life.

He murmured to himself: "Atonement, Holy Land, Atonement..."

His eyes lit up, and he suddenly raised his head to look at Roger, then lowered his head and saluted.

He said: "In the name of God, as you command, Lord Roger."

The rest of the trip went without any further troubles. Roger found that more people took the initiative to salute him, and the servants were more diligent. Whatever he asked for would be implemented quickly.

Roger is adapting to his role as a superior, and superiors should understand what their subordinates are thinking.

Roger is a person who is good at summarizing. He was reflecting on several recent events while riding on his horse.

He found that he had unintentionally established authority in another way.

He asked Danny: "Danny, if I asked you to duel for me again, would you be willing?"

"Of course, my lord, it is my honor and I am always willing to take orders."

Duels are dangerous, and the tragic collision during the Holy Judgment flashed through Roger's mind.

So why is Danny willing to risk his life? Just because he is my captain of the guard?

Roger approached Adelaide's carriage and asked the question.

Adelaide replied without thinking: "Isn't this normal? He is the captain of the guard, and protecting you is what he should do. Otherwise, why would he take my salary? This is the deal."

Roger didn't think so. The salary Adelaide gave Danny was just to let him work for him.

For example, when he faced Leng Tou Qing, Danny could have called the guards to arrest or deport him together. He should do the same if there were similar incidents in the future. This is the normal job of the guard captain.

It was not necessary to duel for the master, but Danny made it clear that he was willing to duel for him unconditionally, and he didn't even care whether the reason for the duel was meaningful.

Roger thought about Leng Tou Qing's performance again. Why did he obey him?

It doesn't make sense to explain it with transactions and beliefs. He provoked him head-on and didn't even want the title.

Roger felt that figuring out Leng Tou Qing's purpose might help solve the problem, so he asked the question to Danny.

He asked: "Danny, what do you think about this?"

Danny replied matter-of-factly: "Sir, you spared his life, so naturally he should be grateful to you and obey you."

Roger felt that it was not that simple. A person would not be grateful to others for giving him something he did not care about, such as food.

Roger suddenly realized that he had been ignoring one thing. Renulf, the count who shouted: "The winner has not been decided yet, I can still fight!" When he told him to put away his axe, he

Did so.

Roger thought that no matter what aspect, this guy who called him "boy" when they first met was not something he could order. But he just obeyed, in full view of everyone.

Roger thought, what is Renulfo doing?

Roger felt that these things had something in common, and there was only one truth, so he once again transformed into the famous detective Roger Kogoro.

He dismounted and found a carriage to sit in, so as not to fall asleep while thinking too much and accidentally fall off the horse. Then, he adopted vicarious thinking.

Detective Roger Kogoro imagines himself as Danny.



Danny Kogoro happily went to work with his bag. The boss's wife promoted him yesterday, and he is now the supervisor.

He entered the office and saw several old men smoking.

He greeted them: "Young master is coming back today, and you will go to the door with me to greet him later."

Danny Kogoro finished arranging the work and turned to leave, but heard muttering behind him.

"Our previous superintendent would never ask us to do this kind of work."

"I just know how to flatter you."

"Didn't he become the general manager just by flattering the boss's wife?"

"What does he know? Let me tell you, at that time... he was just carrying a leg of lamb..."

Danny Kogoro blushed and went to pick up the young master by himself.

But the young master didn't talk about what happened before, just asking about the boss's affairs.

Danny Kogoro really wanted to express himself and let the young master know that he was no worse than the previous manager. He also wanted everyone to know that he was also very capable.

But just patrolling every day, even a fool can do well.

Until one day, the young master said: "Danny Kogoro, I have a private job, which is quite troublesome and dangerous. Look, can you do me a favor?"

Danny Kogoro happily went to work and did a very good job.

After this incident, the young master looked at him differently and sometimes asked him for advice.

The way his subordinates looked at him was different, there were less gossips and more words of praise.

The young master asked him again: "If I still have private work, will you do it?"

"Do it!" Danny Kogoro said happily, "I will do whatever you tell me to do."



The famous detective Roger Kogoro jumped out of Danny's mind, used substitutional thinking again, and transformed into the stupid Aoi Kogoro.



The stupid Aoi Kogoro was very sad that his brother was gone. His brother who had been protecting him since he was a child, why did he die?

Yesterday I was transporting barrels, and I asked for a ride. A broken truck came from the other side of the road, and it refused to give way even after being beaten to death.

An officer from the police station came by the roadside. Everyone asked him to comment. The officer said: "Since no one will give in, let's hit him."

My brother also gave way to the collision, and the stunned Aoi Kogoro hit the accelerator. At that time, my eyes went black, and when I woke up, my brother was gone.

Four Eyes came to announce the good news: "Brother Butt, congratulations."

"What?" Stunned Qing Kogoro was confused.

"Congratulations, all your brother's property belongs to you, you have become rich."

"You congratulate me when my brother dies?"

"I thought you were not smart, but I didn't expect Ga to be a scheming person. You did this beautifully, and no one can make a mistake."

"What did you say? Try saying it again!"

"Why are you so angry at me? Everyone said so. Besides, I didn't ask you to hit me. You have the guts to go to the patrol room and complain!"

The second son came and shouted: "Butt, your car has been impounded by the police station."

"Mom, let's do this."

The stunned Qing Kogoro blocked the door of the patrol room: "Give me an explanation."

The officer came out and said, "There's nothing to talk about."

"Give me an explanation." Stunned Qing Kogoro said.

A policeman pushed him down and said, "Why are you talking to the chief? You are seeking death!"

"I don't want to live anymore," Daotou Qing Kogoro was sad and wronged at the same time. "People say that I killed you, and that I am greedy for your money. I am not that kind of person. I don't want to live anymore. I will die."

Everyone, look."

The commander spoke: "Is it interesting for you to die like this? Do you know that the Japanese have invaded Shanghai? I know you have no shame in the concession, go to Luodian. I know a battalion commander, you go and serve as a soldier for him

, either die like a man on the battlefield, or come back with military exploits."

The stunned Aoi Kogoro had long heard the chairman of the National Committee say on the radio: "Everyone is responsible for the national crisis."

He knew that this was national justice, which was higher than personal honor and disgrace, but he couldn't go quietly by himself, others would think that he had killed his brother and escaped.

Now the chief asked him to go in front of everyone, so he said: "Okay, I will do what you say, I will go."
