The biggest news in Johannesburg in March was that MP Adam Stephen committed suicide at home.
At the end of last year, Councilor Adam Stephen caused a storm in the city because of corruption. In the end, the city council had to intervene to prevent Adam Stephen from affecting the reputation of the entire council.
The Socialist Party has an ambiguous attitude at this time. It is said that as Adam Stephen is a member of the Socialist Party, the Socialist Party should do its best to protect Adam Stephen. However, the Socialist Party does not seem to care about Adam Stephen's life and death, and has not expressed much opinion on Adam Stephen's matter.
"Adam Stephen did not commit suicide at all. He had multiple fractures on his body, large areas of skin ulceration, and showed signs of being burned at the stake. He was severely tortured before his death. The cause of death was not suffocation at all, but death from multiple places.
Internal organ failure." Li Deyi was filled with indignation. This was not because of Adam Stephen, but because of what some people did.
"Adam Stephen was under house arrest by Steven Hewlett for a long time before his death. A carriage stopped at Adam Stephen's house for a long time on the night of the 25th. We have reason to believe that Adam Stephen was sent back after his death.
home, and then forged the scene. There is no doubt that Steven Hewlett is the biggest suspect." Sam's conclusion can be verified with Reed's words. The truth is almost ready to come out, but it is a pity that Rock can't do anything.
"What do you think, Director Spencer?" Roark is not in charge of his duties, and solving cases is not within Roark's scope of responsibility.
What Rock is sure of is that Adam Stephen made a lot of money when he was the general manager of the gold mine. Strictly speaking, the money was stolen, and Adam Stephen should pay the price.
The problem is that a local prince or princess definitely has no law enforcement power. Rand Bank has not even received a request to cooperate in the investigation of Adam Stephen's account. This shows that those people are not trying to recover the money at all, but
He was determined to kill Adam Stephen.
This can be regarded as a warning to the monkeys. For the big financiers behind it, the amount of money really doesn't matter. The key is the final result. Whether it can sufficiently frighten some people is the key to the problem.
"Director Spencer has started investigating Steven Hewlett and has handed over all the evidence to the Governor's Mansion. Now it depends on what the Governor's Mansion says. If the Governor's Mansion wants to pursue the case, then Director Spencer will arrest Steven.
Vin Hewlett, conduct further investigation. If the Governor's Office does not want to pursue the case, then this matter may end here." Although Li De was unwilling to give in, he also knew the objective factors.
In the era when imperial power was supreme, many cases were not investigated. It was really not that the police were ineffective, but that if the investigation results involved the royal family, the resistance would be greater than imagined.
Even if everyone knows that Adam Stephen was murdered, if the Governor's Office does not want to pursue it, then the matter will end in vain.
If they want to continue the investigation, only Ade expresses concern about this case, and the Johannesburg Police Department will have the motivation to continue the investigation. Otherwise, they really don't dare. Even if Harry Spencer has a strong background, he is not as big as the royal family.
"This is probably what happened. Don't worry about Adam Stephen. He deserves to die." Rock also knew the situation. This kind of thing is unavoidable in the 21st century, let alone the early 20th century.
"Lord, dinner is ready," Bella came over to report, and Li De and Sam immediately beamed with joy.
The dinner parties at Nyasaland Baron House are famous. Marvin's restaurant in Johannesburg has now become the most upscale restaurant in Johannesburg. The average consumption per person is more than ten pounds. Although the price is expensive, it is worth the money.
Roque's baronial palace hired chefs from the Qing Dynasty and Paris respectively. It not only has a wide variety of Chinese dishes with full color, fragrance, but also French dishes that are best in Europe and comparable to Chinese food.
I don’t know since when, the dinner party at Baron Nyasaland’s Mansion has been rumored to be amazing. In fact, it is not that delicious. The key is that it can feed Roque, which in itself is enough to brag about for a while.
Of course Rock doesn't care. Li De and Sam are also Rock's confidants. Rock is happy to win people's hearts with a meal.
Phyllis usually only appears when eating. Gavin Locke will definitely not carry him out when he is only a few months old. Anna is the best housekeeper in the world and stays by Gavin Locke's side every day. Baron
All the affairs of the Baron's house are left to Bella. Bella is indeed very capable. She arranges the affairs of the Baron's house in an orderly manner. The servants are diligent and conscientious. Phyllis has mentioned to Roark many times recently that Bella must be solved in the Baron's house.
La's marital problems.
It is not easy for Rock to interfere in this issue. Bella was by Rock's side when she was in Cape Town. Rock treats Bella almost like his own sister. It is not easy to solve Bella's marriage problem.
The key is that most of the people around Rock are already married, such as Anton and Buck, who already have several children. The younger leaders, such as Li De and Gordon, are either already married, or they just hang out in flowers all day long.
, considering Bella’s identity, it is really not easy to find a suitable partner for Bella.
Fortunately, Bella is still young, less than 20 years old now, and Rock still has time to find her slowly.
The dinner was actually very simple, which was not in line with the rumors outside. It was a simple four dishes, one soup, two meat and two vegetarian dishes, and it was not much more delicious than Marvin's restaurant. However, Li De and Sam enjoyed every dish.
They were all full of praise.
What's so good about peanuts?
Rock was speechless, probably with the words Baron Nyasaland attached to it, plain water can make people drunk.
After dinner, Li De and Sam were not in a hurry to say goodbye and walked the dog with Roark in the Baron Mansion.
The big guy is now so fat that he gasps for breath after walking a few steps, but he is full of energy when he meets the bitch. She now has countless offspring, and they are simply blessed with sex.
"Be careful during this period. Don't worry about anything and don't show off. Before the democratic representative system was generally implemented in the Transvaal, Johannesburg was the focus of the entire southern Africa. Adam Stephen died when he died. He deserves to die too. No one else is to blame. The key is
Don't let people think that after the democratic representative system was implemented in Johannesburg, the privileges of the nobility were restricted. Johannesburg is still Johannesburg of the British Empire, and this cannot be changed." Rock reminded Sam and Reed that many people thought that after the democratic representative system was implemented in Johannesburg,
London has lost influence over Johannesburg, which is not the case at all.
Within ten or eight years, not to mention Johannesburg, even southern Africa will not be able to leave the Commonwealth, so Roque still has to restrain his men and not be caught.
Sam and Li De looked at each other. Neither of them expected that Roark would be so cautious. This is actually not surprising. Roark protects the interests of the aristocratic group. In fact, he is safeguarding his own interests, even in the UK.
, nobles also have privileges beyond the law.
In fact, the response from the Governor's Palace and the city government was stronger than Roque imagined.
Ad was also the first to know that Adam Stephen had committed suicide.
Or he committed suicide.
Rock was then called to Pretoria.
"What do you think about this matter?" Ade first asked Roque for his opinion. This is what is annoying about superiors. They will not express their opinions easily. Instead, they will consider the opinions of their subordinates and finally compromise.
No matter how disgusted Roark is, he must remain firm at this time: "There is no doubt that Adam Stephen committed suicide."
"Suicide?" Ade didn't look at Rock, but was sorting the documents on the table.
"Yes, there is no doubt that it was suicide. Even if there are more doubts, Adam Stephen committed suicide." Rock was resolute. Even if everyone knew that there were doubts about Adam Stephen's death, Rock would still be stubborn.
Ade's expression when he saw Rock was a bit complicated, with relief mixed with disappointment. He probably didn't expect that Rock would transform so quickly.
Ade has always admired Roque. Although Roque is a bit young, Ade still trains Roque as his successor. Even after Ade leaves office, Roque cannot take over in time. In the future, Roque will
Ke is also the best candidate to serve as governor.
Now Rock is growing at a speed that exceeds Ade's expectations. In the past, Rock, even if he would not get to the bottom of the Adam Stephen case, at least he would find the direct murderer and bring him to justice.
Now Rock's attitude is very obvious, and he has chosen to be consistent with the aristocratic group. This makes Ade happy and surprised at the same time. Ade seems to see that Rock is as hateful as the local nobles.
As for the gratification, it was because Rock unconditionally chose to safeguard the interests of the royal family and be consistent with the royal family. This gave Ade a new understanding of Rock.
"What exactly has Johannesburg's democratic representative system brought to Johannesburg?" Ade finally put down the document in his hand and crossed his fingers on the table. This gesture was to conceal his true thoughts.
"Vitality and vitality. After the democratic representative system was implemented, Johannesburg truly became Johannesburg for Johannesburgers. Whether they were local officials or new immigrants who later moved in, only after the democratic representative system was implemented, they truly had a sense of belonging to Johannesburg."
"It's hard to explain this feeling in words, including me. Even though I own a lot of property in Johannesburg, after the democratic representative system was implemented, I felt that those properties really belonged to me." Rock definitely supports the democratic representative system, although
The democratic representative system is actually not good enough, but for now, it is the most suitable system for Johannesburg.
Ade looked at Rock and nodded slightly. In the Transvaal and Orange, Ade's current situation is actually very embarrassing. Although Ade is the founder of the Transvaal and Orange, almost everyone now
