Spy War 1929

Chapter 199 How about you come to be the Chief Inspector?
Fourth master expressed his thoughts to Lin Zirong, and the study fell into silence for a moment.
Lin Zirong sat opposite fourth master with an unsteady expression, and moved his fingers unconsciously.

Fourth Master sat on the chair and waited quietly, he knew that Lin Zirong was making a decision in his mind.And the decision that will be made in the end will probably not exceed his expectations.

He was in no hurry.

The study room was very quiet, neither of them spoke, only the inaudible breathing.

Before Lin Zirong could speak, there was a knock on the door.

"Teacher, Uncle." An He's voice came from outside the door.

Fourth Master looked at Lin Zirong, and he quickly restrained the tangled and hesitant expression on the leader's face.

"Come in." Fourth Master said.

There was a soft push on the door, and An He, who was wearing an elegant dress, walked in with a tray.

The 13-year-old had a youthful and immature look on her face. Looking at the two of them, she had a faint smile on her mouth.

Both of them looked at her with the same gentle smile on their faces.

The teacher is smiling all the time, but my uncle always has a smile in front of her.

An He is used to this.

She put the tray on the desk.

There were a few pieces of snacks brought by Lin Zirong on it, and two cups of steaming black tea.

"Anping will finish the snacks, so I'll bring some for my uncle and teacher," she said.

An He didn't stay in the study for too long, after putting down his snacks and tea, he left the study.

The teacher and uncle talk about things, and there is never anyone around.

Even the family members, at most, would come out after bringing some tea up as she did now.

So she won't stay long.

Seeing An He walk out of the study, the balance in Lin Zirong's heart that had already begun to tilt completely dropped, and there was a change in his eyes with the vicissitudes of time.

How could this decision be so difficult.

Lin Zirong took a bite of the pastry that both children liked, one bite, another bite.

Lin Zirong, who didn't like these things at first, suddenly fell in love with the taste of these snacks.

Seeing that the gang leader suddenly had a big appetite, Fourth Master smiled, and also picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip of tea to moisten his throat

the other side,
There was a knock on the office door. The very ordinary knock sounded harsh to Fabre, and he even had the urge to replace the door.

Fabre frowned and endured the upset in his heart, and said "come in".

If the person who comes here is not about to say something important, he must be severely scolded.

Seeing that it was Chen Ledao who came in through the door, Fabre was slightly taken aback, but he quickly realized it.

I can't scold to death.

"Henry, are you here for Feng Jingyao's business?"

After letting Chen Ledao sit down, Fabre asked directly.

Such a straight-forward approach made Chen Ledao's prepared remarks stuck in his throat.

Chen Ledao nodded in recognition.

"I heard that you have a very close relationship with Feng's Chamber of Commerce?" Fabre said.

Chen Ledao couldn't figure out what he wanted to say, so he replied honestly:
"Mr. Feng's daughter can be said to be my fiancee."

Fabre is a foreigner. He may not be very clear about the gossip that many people in Shanghai know, but this kind of thing can be found out once you check it.

Of course Chen Ledao would not hide this matter.

Fabre nodded and didn't speak. I don't know if he didn't think about what to say, or if he had something to say but couldn't say it.

When Fabre didn't speak, Chen Ledao was impolite, and said proactively:

"Mr. Director, I know everything about you and Mr. Feng, can you tell me what you want to do next?"

Fabre looked at Chen Ledao, and was somewhat surprised by Chen Ledao's words.

In Fabre's view, Chen Ledao should avoid this matter, or it would be best to disassociate himself from Feng's Chamber of Commerce directly.

But Chen Ledao not only didn't evade, but also didn't have the idea to explain anything, and now he took the initiative to ask about it.

Fabre shook his head and said:
"Henry, do you want me not to pursue this matter?"

Chen Ledao shook his head. "of course not."

For Fabre's questions, Chen Ledao had already prepared a draft in Xue Liangying's office.

"Whatever my relationship with Mr Feng's daughter is, it will not affect my position.

I am a consultant of the political department and the inspector of the patrol room. Regarding this matter, I can only look at it from the perspective of a public official of the police department. "

Chen Ledao had a serious expression and a pious tone. Anyone who doubted these words would be punished by God.

Fabre still trusted Chen Ledao, and he nodded with satisfaction when he heard these remarks.

He is willing to believe in this young man.

"Very good, Henry, then I will give you a task alone." Fabre said in a business tone.

Hearing his words, Chen Ledao had a bad premonition in his heart.

"Feng Jingyao is a businessman on the surface, but he is actually the biggest hooligan in Shanghai.

He stays in the concession, only to threaten the security of the concession, we will drive him out of the concession. "

Fabre corrected his words, and seeing his serious appearance, it was obvious that this matter was not a joke.

The last thing I wanted to see happened.

Chen Ledao sighed in his heart.

"Mr. Director, are you serious?"

"Of course." Fabre nodded.

There is such a good reason this time, Fabre is unwilling to let go of this opportunity.

Fabre and Feng Jingyao didn't have any personal enmity, but Feng Jingyao's influence in the concession was too great, and his hands were extended to the police station, which was obviously not acceptable to Fabre.

"Mr. Director, this matter may not be as easy as you think." Chen Ledao unceremoniously poured cold water on it.

Fabre looked calm, waiting for his reason.

"Feng's Chamber of Commerce has a great influence in the concession. If we want to drive Feng Jingyao out of the concession, it will only cause him to oppose us. Then the concession may become chaotic." Chen Ledao said earnestly.

Getting Feng Jingyao out of the rental business is unreliable at first sight.

Chen Ledao also did not expect that Fabre's idea would be so bold.

The relationship in the concession is intricate, and this is something that Fabre is willing to do. I am afraid that other French people will have different opinions.

"I know that Feng Jingyao is called Mr. Feng in Shanghai, and everyone thinks he is very powerful. But this is the French Concession, and this is where we have the final say." Fabre is quite confident.

He patted Chen Ledao's shoulder.

"Feng Jingyao may be very powerful to others, but we are different. We can mobilize all the strength of the police force. If it is not enough, we still have troops."

When it comes to the word "garrison", Fabre has a proud look on his face. The French army is known as the largest in the world.

Feng Jingyao is just the leader of a local gang, and he may be able to dominate in Shanghai, but why should he fight the army.

Chen Ledao shook his head when he heard Fabre's words.

Compared with most foreigners, Fabre is already very good, but he is still unavoidably arrogant.

Feng Jingyao can indeed be said to be a gang leader, but in Shanghai, Feng Jingyao's influence can't be explained in such a simple way.

In the three circles of politics, business and black, Feng Jingyao's relationship has developed in an all-round way.

Old man Feng's ambition is not small.

"Mr. Director, you have only come to Shanghai Bund not long ago, and you don't know enough about Feng Jingyao's influence—" Chen Ledao was interrupted halfway,
"Henry, it's not that I don't understand Feng Jingyao, but that you don't understand our army well enough." Fabre shook his hand at Chen Ledao.

"Think about it carefully, if we can remove Feng Jingyao's power in the police station and drive Feng Jingyao out of the concession, then our future work will definitely be much easier, and the atmosphere in the concession will be cleared up," Fabre said. As he spoke, he drew a big cake for Chen Ledao.

Chen Ledao wanted to cry but had no tears. Fabre, who usually does everything with a brain, is so stubborn about this matter!

Whether you have been a soldier or something, you are so confident in your army.

In the future, your so-called No. [-] Army in the world will be beaten to the point of crying by the mustaches, do you know that! !

Seeing that Fabre was so stubborn, Chen Ledao didn't know how to persuade him.

If it were someone else, Chen Ledao would have forgotten it, good words are hard to persuade the damn ghost.

But Fabre can't!
Chen Ledao was in trouble for a while.

"Mr. Director, you have suspended Chief Detective Ma, what do you think next?" Chen Ledao changed the subject.

"Chief Inspector Ma's suspension is not only because of Feng Jingyao's reasons," Fabre said.

Chen Ledao listened.

"Chief Inspector Ma sits in the position of Chief Inspector, but he is not a qualified Chief Inspector. He will only perfunctory whatever happens to him," Fabre said.

Hearing Fabre's words, his dissatisfaction with Chief Inspector Ma is obviously not a matter of a day or two.

This time it was just an excuse for Fabre to stop him.

Chief Inspector Ma was the middleman who introduced Feng Jingyao and Fabre to each other. Feng Jingyao bribed Fabre, and if the investigation was carried out, Lao Ma would naturally not be able to escape responsibility.

The old horse knows that Fabre doesn't want to see him, but he still jumps up and down. If he is not unlucky, who will be unlucky!
"Aren't you going to resume his position?" Chen Ledao asked.

The matter of Lao Ma can be big or small, the key is to see the attitude of the director Bull.

The expression on Fabre's face suddenly changed, and he looked at Chen Ledao seriously.

"I want you to be Chief Inspector."

Chen Ledao was taken aback, he didn't expect Fabre to say this suddenly.

"You have proved your ability in the Joffre Road arrest house. I don't think a patrol chief is enough to display your talents. The chief inspector is more suitable for you than the patrol chief."

Fabre looked serious and didn't look like he was joking.

Chen Ledao's head was a little dizzy, he really couldn't understand why Fabre suddenly planned to make himself the chief inspector.

It was only a few months in the position of inspector, so he let himself be the chief inspector.
The rocket has not been developed yet, so how can it be so fast.

Chief Inspector in his 20s.
Uncle Jiu is over fifty, and he was only a deputy chief inspector back then.

Chen Ledao hurriedly calmed himself down, not letting the golden egg thrown by Fabre knock him out.

"Is Fabre using the Chief Inspector to win over me?" Chen Ledao had this thought in his mind.

As far as Chen Ledao is concerned, he is actually in the same line as Fabre in the police department, and it is only natural that he was promoted by Fabre.

But even my own father doesn't promote people like this!

As soon as the idea of ​​entrancing came up, it instantly took root in Chen Ledao's heart, and soon flourished.

Chen Ledao can be regarded as a member of Fabre's family, but Chen Ledao himself has a lot of power, and at the same time, Chen Ledao and Feng Jingyao's daughter still have that kind of relationship.

In terms of intimacy, of course Feng Jingyao was even more intimate.

But for men, women are more important than career, Fabre thinks the latter.

Let Chen Ledao be the Chief Inspector, which can be regarded as giving Chen Ledao a bright future in his career.

Standing on Feng Jingyao's side, even if Chen Ledao married Feng Jingyao's daughter and accepted Feng Jingyao's property, would he be just a gang leader?

So it's clear which one to choose.

Is this what Fabre thinks?
Fabre believes in himself, maybe there is a reason for the friendship between the two, but at the same time, is there also a reason why Fabre believes that he can help him in his career, so he must stand with him?

Chen Ledao suddenly began to conspire in his heart.

It is really the chief inspector's pie left by Fabre, which is a bit too big.

"Uh, Mr. Director, why did you think of asking me to be the Chief Detective? I don't have enough qualifications, do I?" Chen Ledao said.

Chen Ledao has a clear understanding of himself.

The relationship between myself and Fabre is indeed good, but the chief inspector's matter is still a bit like a pie in the sky.

"Qualifications? If qualifications are valued in everything, how can talents be reused?" Fabre said.

Fabre was showing his damn charisma again.

Chen Ledao was speechless.

"It's not because of the relationship between us that I let you be the chief inspector. You should know that I am a person who distinguishes between public and private." Fabre said.

Not talking about Feng Jingyao at this moment, Fabre seems to have become calm and wise again.

"As I said before, your work in Joffre Road is just a pilot.

If you are doing well in the Joffre Road hunting house, then we will use your experience to rectify all the hunting houses. " Fabre said solemnly.

Chen Ledao listened quietly.

He felt a little strange.

Fabre wanted to be promoted to his official position, but he hesitated here.

Chief Inspector, this was the position Uncle Nine dreamed of at the beginning.

"Your work in the Joffre Road hunting house has proved that your methods are feasible. Now to continue to rectify other hunting houses, you are naturally the best candidate.

And to do so, what better suits you than the Chief Inspector. "

Fabre didn't finish speaking, he continued.

"Another point is that I prefer to use people from our own country rather than those Chinese."

(Some book friends commented that it was not clear whether the protagonist is Chinese or French. Let me mention here that the protagonist was born and raised in France and is of French nationality, but he himself regards himself as a Chinese. In other words, there is really no Write clearly?)

Fabre gave him another reason.

Chen Ledao was stunned.

It turns out that there is also a reason why my French identity is "caused" in this matter? !

He grew up drinking foreign ink in France, and his mother is also French. If Fabre does not discriminate, then it is not surprising that he regards himself as his own.

"You have half Chinese blood, and you are familiar with Chinese culture. These Chinese people regard you as their own. So this Chief Inspector, I think you are more suitable than anyone else." Fabre said

The Chief Inspector is a Chinese Chief Inspector, and they are all held by Chinese people.

But after experiencing Uncle Jiu as the deputy chief inspector and Lao Ma as the chief inspector, Fabre did not want a Chinese to be the chief inspector.

Chen Ledao can not only convince Fabre, but also convince the Chinese arresters below. For Fabre, it is most appropriate for Chen Ledao to be the chief inspector.

He trusted Chen Ledao's character and ability.
