Chapter 90 From Mayor to Deputy Mayor!
the next morning.

Still in the mayor's office.

However, compared to two days ago, the atmosphere in the office was much heavier.

And the participants in the meeting also changed from three people to two people.

Just last night, Police Chief James Morris was on his way to the police station in a carriage, along with the groom, and was directly blown into the sky by the explosives thrown by the mafia members.

Rorschach, who rushed to the scene, only saw the carriage that was blown to pieces and two bloody corpses.

Therefore, Lemieux, who was afraid that he would end up in the same end, immediately found Rorschach after arriving at the city hall under the heavy protection of the police.

In his opinion, the only one who can be trusted now is the young mayor who has many subordinates.

It can be seen that the mayor is like a frightened bird, his eyes under the gold-rimmed glasses are full of panic and anxiety.

Even the handkerchief that is changed every day in the left breast pocket of the suit is too late to change today...

I saw him pacing back and forth in the office, anxious like an ant on a hot pot:
"Oh my god..."

"How dare those bastards...how dare..."

"Rorschach, Mr. Morris was killed by those bastards, will we..."

Facing Lemieux's flustered eyes longing for an answer, Rorschach, who was sitting on the sofa, did not change his expression at all, but calmed down with a soft voice:
"Henry, relax, everything is still under control!"

Indeed, the Mafia blew Director Morris up to the sky, somewhat beyond his expectations.

However, in Rorschach's view, this just exposed the weakness of the Mafia.

This is enough to prove that they can't think of any other way, they can only use this crazy way to make the last struggle...

Looking at Rorschach's calm and composed appearance, Lemieux seemed to have found a backbone, and his anxiety eased a lot.

He came to the sofa and sat down, and quickly asked, "Then what should we do next? Shall we agree to their conditions?"

"impossible!"

Luo Xia's words were full of doubts: "The balance of victory has been tipped in our favor. Now that we cease fighting, we will undoubtedly give up the victory!"

Hearing this, Lemieux nodded to express his understanding, and then continued to ask: "Then what should we do?"

Rorschach, who had started making plans for the next step as early as last night, blurted out:

"First of all, we should immediately publicly mourn in the newspapers and praise the sacrifice made by Chief Morris for the safety of the city. Only in this way can we emphasize our tough attitude of not compromising with criminals, and the law enforcement officers and people of the city will continue to support us. "

"Then, you must appoint a new director. This director must be tougher than Mr. Morris! Our war with the mafia is endless, and we must completely hang these outlaws!"

At this moment, Lemieux, who had no idea, had pinned his hopes on the black-haired young man in front of him.

He nodded again and again in agreement:

"You're right. Well, I'll appoint you deputy mayor and take full charge of this matter."

The municipal government of Saint-Denis is a mayoral system, although it is supervised by the city council.However, as administrator, Lemieux does not need the approval of the city council to appoint any government officials.

In other words, the appointment of Rorschach as the deputy mayor was just a matter of his words.

As soon as these words came out, Luo Xia was slightly taken aback.

He didn't expect that someone would ask him to be the deputy mayor before he had been the mayor for two months.

This kind of promotion speed is like a heifer flying on a plane-it's awesome!

If this continues, does he have a chance to run for governor of New Hanover, or even go one step further.

With his age and capital, he has been in American politics for 30 to [-] years, and it is really possible to become the first brother of the United States.

When the time comes, just carry out drastic reforms and let the red flag fly above the White House?

The point is that he doesn't have that much time, nor does he have the interest.

Bringing Piao Yuan's thoughts back, Luo Xia nodded, and did not refuse this proposal that is beneficial but harmless:

"It is my honor. I will resolve this matter as soon as possible, so that safety and order, back to Saint-Denis again!"

Reaching out to pat Rorschach's shoulder, Lemieux's eyes were filled with trust and hope:

"It's all up to you..."

"Don't worry, things will settle down soon..."

. . .

At noon, the mayor's office once again sent invitations to major newspapers and held a press conference in the press hall of the city hall.

Mayor Lemieux and Rorschach attended the press conference.

Lemieux first mourned and praised the recently deceased police chief in front of many reporters.

Afterwards, under the watchful eyes of everyone, he announced the appointment of Rorschach as the deputy mayor to take full charge of this case.

This decision immediately caused surprise to appear on the faces of everyone present.

The reporters immediately used the pens in their hands to record this explosive news in their small notebooks.

Many reporters raised their hands and asked questions:

"Mr. Mayor, is your decision a little rash?"

"I want to know, what does this Mr. Anos do..."

At the press conference, Luo Xia, who had just taken office, suddenly stood up, pressed his hands down, and said loudly:
"The question-and-answer session hasn't arrived yet, so be quiet first!"

The sharp gaze like a falcon swept across the hall.

Coupled with the vicious eyes of the surrounding policemen and temporary law enforcement officers, the originally noisy venue suddenly became quiet.

"Gentlemen, thank you for your cooperation."

Next, Rorschach first strongly condemned the mafia's blatant violation of the law and the murder of government officials.

Then, announced the glorious results of the current fight against the mafia forces.

In the end, he patted his chest and assured reporters and the general public of Saint-Denis that the riot would end soon.

Mayor Lemieux's governing style is, at best, an elegant gentleman, at worst, weak and bullying.

In contrast, Rorschach's resolute style of handling things made everyone feel a sense of security.

Even with his handsome face, very young...

The reporters present immediately had a good impression of this mysterious and young deputy mayor.

During the questioning session, Rorschach only accepted three questions before announcing the end of the press conference.

After the press conference, Rorschach went to the police station non-stop and appointed a well-known old police officer as the new chief.

The police officer named "Abel Wallace" was a veteran of the Civil War.

After retiring, he worked as a policeman in Saint-Denis.

He has two sons, one in the military.

And the other, like him, is also a policeman of the Saint Denis Police Department.

However, just a few days ago, his son lost his life in a shootout with the Mafia...

That's why Rorschach chose him.

The strong desire for revenge will make the new chief his staunchest supporter!
