Chapter 198 Duke's Decision

Duke said: "No way, we don't have special products here. As a small rural town, investors won't be interested. This is a big problem. Jim has discussed it with me many times, and we have nothing to do. If not... there is a mill Entrepreneurs in town sponsor us, and we're almost broke."

Government bankruptcy is a normal thing in Western countries.Especially for such a small town, if there is no industrial support, it is easy to go bankrupt.

"Maxine Seagrave." Duke hesitated and said, "It is she who sponsors hundreds of thousands of dollars every year, so we can sustain it. You know, she built the tourist villa on Huxin Island."

"often."

Duke pondered, and said for a moment: "I plan to let you meet her and get to know her."

Freddie and Paul went over there and chatted with Linda and Angie. Duke saw no one around, so he said to Chang Wei: "Maxine is not a good person. I have my difficulties too, Lin After all, Da is a woman, her heart is sometimes too soft, and she has too much sense of justice and lacks the big picture.”

"What do you mean?" Chang Wei frowned.

"Listen, I trust you." Duke said, "When I rescued you from the lake, the first time I saw you, I thought you were trustworthy."

Chang Wei was startled: "I'm honored."

Duke waved his hand: "Actually, I didn't intend to tell you some weird things so early. But yesterday's murder case, and what you said just now, let me know that you are a keen person who can see Many things that ordinary people can't see. Even if I don't say it, you will notice it."

He said: "Mill Town relies on Maxine to maintain stability, and we need her sponsorship. So even though I know she is not a good person, I pretend not to see it. I just ask her not to affect Mill Town. I have already I am old, my heart is not good, and my energy is getting weaker and weaker. I must find a reliable successor for Mill Town."

Chang Wei blinked and pointed to his nose: "Don't say it's me."

"It's you." Duke said: "First of all, you are extremely intimidating. This is the quality that you must possess as the sheriff of Mill Town. It is not only to deter those gangsters, but more importantly, Maxine."

"We get along with her and maintain harmony, but we must also guard against her, and we must not let her affect the atmosphere of Mill Town. Linda has no such ability. If I make Linda the sheriff, Maxine will not put her Put it in your eyes."

"Big Jim, you know, he is a man with a lot of power. Linda is also not his opponent. So deterrence is very important."

"Secondly, you are very sensitive. It can be said that you are born to be a police officer. Linda told me that you said that Freddie and Paul did not find those clues because of my attitude. Let me tell you clearly that it is because they do not have the ability , Such people are very obedient, but they are not easy to use, let alone become the pillar of Mill Town."

"Duke." Chang Wei shook his head: "You are not old. And in fact, you should know that I regard the profession of police as just a dawdling job."

"It doesn't matter." Duke said: "You just came here, you will get better after a long time."

He said: "I called both Jim and Maxine, and they will be here soon. By the way, Jim also knows Maxine. Maxine's sponsorship of Mill Town is thanks to Jim."

"Here they come." He pointed to a car coming from outside the yard.

Finally said: "I don't know if I did it right or wrong, maybe it will hurt you. But I have no choice. So please forgive me."

Chang Wei chewed these words of Duke, feeling very dramatic in his heart.

For him, Mill Town is just a temporary place to stay.For Mill Town, he is just a newcomer here.

But it is a bit unreasonable to get the trust of a sheriff.

Perhaps yesterday's case was a push.But Duke's trust in Chang Wei is unquestionable, otherwise he would not have said these words.

He actually wanted Chang Wei to take his place.

Chang Wei could tell that Duke's words were more than enough.There is something deeper hidden inside.Maxine, for example, is not a nice person.Like Big Jim.

But there is no doubt that many things have been pointed out.

"Hey, Jim!"

Duke and Jim hugged each other, and then looked at a woman with a sharp temperament beside Jim: "Maxine, long time no see."

Maxine Seagrave is the name of this beautiful woman with a unique temperament, a woman who is not a good person.

"This is Chang." Duke introduced: "My right-hand man, yesterday's drug addict Thomson's murder, is the clue he found - Flying Bird Island. He is a very capable person."

As soon as the words came out, Big Jim and Maxine shot over with both eyes.

Chang Wei stretched out his hand with a smile: "Hello."

After shaking hands, Maxine looked at Chang Wei with great interest: "I've never heard Duke praise anyone so strongly. Your ability must be worthy of recognition."

"It's just a fluke." Chang Wei looked at her feet in high heels.

Maxine took a step back involuntarily, as if she wanted to hide her feet from being seen.

"Hey, the young man is really good." Big Jim noticed something, and immediately broke the siege, and changed the topic: "Duke, what are your plans for such a solemn introduction?"

"That's right." Duke said, "I plan to let Chang become the deputy sheriff as soon as possible, and then prepare to take over my job."

When the two heard it, their expressions froze.

"Isn't it appropriate?" Big Jim said, "We all know that Chang has just become a policeman, and his qualifications and achievements are not enough for him to take over your job."

Then he looked at Chang Wei: "Sorry, I'm just talking about the facts."

Chang Wei smiled and said, "I don't think it's appropriate either."

Jim spread his hands: "Look, Duke, he doesn't even think it's appropriate."

Maxine also said aside: "I think Linda is more suitable. She was raised by you alone, and she has been a policeman for nearly five years."

Duke said blankly: "This is my decision."

The atmosphere froze.

Jim suddenly made a haha: "Okay, Duke, this matter can be put aside for now. I know Chang is very good, but it takes merit to be a sheriff, right? Even if you want to work for him, it will take time, we Take it easy."

Duke said: "The decision I made will not change."

Finally broke up.

After the two left, Duke looked at the few people who were still chatting over there, and said to Chang Wei: "Today is considered to be an acquaintance. As I just said, Chang, my decision will not change. Just help me , OK?"

Chang Wei said: "I can't promise you anything. Duke, maybe when I will leave."

"Let's do that first." Duke ignored, "I'll make you a deputy sheriff for half a month at most. Then you'll be exposed to more things. I just hope you won't hate me for it."

The ladder was driven until noon, and Chang Wei's extra meat in the morning was eaten up.
