I'm playing whack-a-mole in Siberia

Chapter 52 Wangcai is a dog

George is not a narrow-minded person, but he is not a bad person either. I will not offend others unless they offend me, and I will offend them if they offend me.

Even for Georgi's pranks, George would punish him slightly in the name of teaching, not to mention others.

George's position in the royal family is mainly a companion, and his persona in St. Petersburg is that of a naughty kid.

The last time Shebeko went to Oak Manor to arrest Ye Luoxin, George endured it, because there were indeed reasons on George's side, and Shebeko had legitimate reasons. Even if he got into trouble with Ya San, Shebeko was at best mishandling things.

This time George couldn't bear it, and he didn't need to bear it anymore. If he continued to bear it any longer, he would become a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle.

"It's simply ridiculous!" Nicholas was very angry. How could Wangcai be an accomplice of the People's Democratic Party?

Georgi looked stunned, and then burst into laughter. This was the funniest joke he had ever heard.

Su Jaykin didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he called someone to investigate what was going on.

This question lasted half an hour.

George, Nikolai, and Georgi did not leave, but stayed in Sudeykin's office waiting for news.

Su Jaykin was restless.

If George, Nikolai, and Georgi are so serious, then this thing is probably true.

It's okay if it's a misunderstanding.

If it was really Su Jiejin's men who took away George's dog, then it's hard to say whether this matter is big or small.

If this thing really happened, Su Jaykin would have to find a way to stop George from pursuing it no matter what.

He still had to find a way to restore his image in Ya San's heart.

Su Jiejin is a veteran of the Ya-II era, and his position in the eyes of Ya-San is not solid enough.

There is no need for George to complain. Nikolai and Georgi's casual mention to Ya San will have an impact on Sudeykin's future.

As a police inspector, instead of hunting down Narodniks, you spend all your time staring at Prince Yurievsky's tutor and the prince's dog. Is your job as a police inspector so idle?
  No wonder the St. Petersburg Assassins are so rampant.

No wonder Ignaev wanted to separate the secret police from the police system and bring it under the purview of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

No wonder—

It can no longer be blamed. If it continues, Sudzeykin himself will go to Siberia to grow potatoes.

Su Jiejin's men were very efficient as long as they worked hard, and they quickly found out the cause and effect of the matter.

The reason is not complicated.

This afternoon, several secret police officers went to the farm near Gatchina Palace to perform official duties. On the way back, they unexpectedly ran into Wangcai who was returning to the farm by himself.

Since Wangcai didn't have any markings on his body, the secret police took Wangcai back to their residence as an ownerless wild dog.

Wangcai eats so well on weekdays, and it is quite tempting to be fat and strong.

Fortunately, George didn't delay after knowing the news, otherwise Wangcai would have turned into a dog meat hot pot.

Who the heck said Europe doesn’t eat dog meat?
  Even in the 21st century, when strict legislation is in place to protect animals, the custom of eating dog meat is still retained in some villages and towns in the German state of Sachs, as well as in the cantons of St. Gallen, Graubünden and Appenzell in eastern Switzerland.

During the Franco-Prussian War, dog meat in Paris cost 1.5 francs per kilogram, the same price as beef.

So it’s not really about how caring Europeans are or how high their moral standards are, but how advanced remote breeding technology is. "Honorable Duke Yurievsky, Wangcai is a very powerful dog. When he was catching it, three people were bitten. They thought Wangcai had no owner and wanted to take Wangcai back and use it as a police dog——" Su Jiejin had pleading eyes, hoping that George would not pursue this matter.

At this time, it is meaningless to say right or wrong. Sudjekin can only place his hope on George being as generous and kind as the legend says.

There are only a few members of the imperial royal family. Because of George's special status, there are quite a lot of rumors in St. Petersburg.

For example, Nicholas' donation to the Petersburg Academy of Sciences.

Although the money was donated in the name of Nicholas, the Petersburg Academy of Sciences did not forget George when promoting this matter, because the Petersburg Academy of Sciences needs more donations, so the greater the impact of this matter, the better.

The crown prince and the duke have both donated money to the Petersburg Academy of Sciences, so other people with similar status should not be interested.

Although it is a bit absurd that George forced Prince Peter to reward Gorbunov with 100 rubles, it can be interpreted from another perspective. At least Gorbunov really received 100 rubles.

Although George is a bit crazy, compared with Georgi's naughty nature, George already meets the standards of generosity and kindness.

"Ha, I'm afraid I want to eat dog meat-" George continued to apply eye drops.

George does not need the gratitude of Su Jiejin. What does a former prince without inheritance need the gratitude of a police inspector?
  George didn’t need a good reputation. The Petersburg Academy of Sciences promoted George’s donation on his own initiative. George had to have a good chat with Butrelov later.

This matter has nothing to do with Su Jaykin. Su Jaykin doesn't stare at George every day.

But George must pursue the person who took Wangcai away.

"Definitely!" Georgi had already forgotten that he had said similar words when he saw George in the afternoon.

"Your people should really be reorganized." Nikolai was still angry. Both George and Georgi could vent their emotions, but Nikolai was not.

George and Georgi were both wealthy and idle men, while Nicholas was the heir to the empire.

Therefore, whether the St. Petersburg police are competent or not has nothing to do with George and Georgi, but has a close relationship with Nicholas.

Nicholas didn't want to think that when he became czar, the police in St. Petersburg would only catch dogs.

That’s not right, even dogs can’t catch it.

If three people were bitten even if a dog was caught, what else could they be expected to do?
  "Yes, Your Highness, starting from tomorrow, no, starting from now, I will definitely demand my subordinates with the strictest standards." Sudjekin could not care about the cynicism of George and Georgi, but he must pay attention to Nicholas's attitude.

"What are you going to do with those people?" Even if George didn't pursue the case, Georgi would not spare those guys who disturbed his rest.

"Suspended for review and fined, and apologized to Super Duke Yurievsky." Sudeijin looked stern on the surface, but in fact he was treating George like a child.

"That's it?" Georgi was dissatisfied, this was too perfunctory.

George didn't speak and gave Su Jaykin a look, letting Su Jaykin feel it for himself.

Su Jiejin has a high position and power, and there is nothing George can do.

Those people who stole Wangcai were just suspended, inspected, fined and apologized?
  Nicholas also glared at Sudjekin with dissatisfaction.

"Their behavior has seriously affected the reputation of the St. Petersburg Police Department, so they must be dealt with seriously, dismissed from their posts, and dealt with in accordance with relevant legal provisions." Sudjekin complained secretly and was in a dilemma.

Sudjekin wanted to satisfy both George, Nikolai, and Georgi, but he couldn't handle it too seriously.

Otherwise, it will also cause dissatisfaction among your subordinates.
