Spy War 1929

Chapter 200 The Mysterious Martin

Obviously it was about the matter between Fabre and Feng Jingyao, but it turned out to be about himself.

Chen Ledao was dizzy.

Fabre wanted to be the chief inspector, which surprised Chen Ledao.

But at this moment, after hearing Fabre's reasons, Chen Ledao couldn't help feeling a little bit moved.

Fabre's reasons sounded right. From Fabre's point of view, Chen Ledao was indeed the most suitable person for the post of Chief Inspector.

On the one hand, Fabre trusts Chen Ledao, which is very important.

On the other hand, Chen Ledao's outstanding achievements in the arresting house on Xiafei Road, and his appointment as the chief inspector all show that he has enough ability to undertake the responsibilities and obligations of the chief inspector.

What about Chen Ledao?

At this moment, he also had some opinions on the position of chief inspector.

Regardless of the reason for this, the position of chief inspector is real.

He has tasted the sweetness from the position of inspector. If Fabre really wants to make himself the chief inspector, Chen Ledao feels that he can accept it reluctantly.

"Mr. Superintendent, doesn't the appointment of the Chief Inspector require the consent of the embassy?" Chen Ledao asked.

If he becomes the Chief Detective, he will be able to completely control several patrol rooms in his own hands. In this way, when facing the Ax Gang, Chen Ledao will have the confidence to fight against them with only his own strength.Of course it is in the concession.

Seeing Chen Ledao's appearance, Fabre knew that he was tempted.The corner of the mouth could not help showing a smile.

"Yes, the appointment of the chief inspector is different from that of the inspector, and requires the consent of the consul." Fabre nodded.

The Police Department and the Board of Directors are the two major official departments in the concession.These two departments are under the jurisdiction of the embassy. As the police chief, Fabre is one of the most powerful people in the concession. The one above him is actually the consul.

The expression on Fabre's face was very relaxed, and he didn't seem to worry at all that the consul would disagree with making Chen Ledao the chief inspector.

Could it be that Fabre has already done it at the consul?

Chen Ledao was puzzled in his heart, and at the same time, he couldn't help feeling a little hot in his heart. At this moment, he heard Fabre say:
"I told Mr. Bernard the Consul about your achievements in the Jaffre Road arrest house, and Mr. Bernard is very satisfied with you.

Some time ago I told Mr. Bernard about changing the Chief Inspector, and Mr. Bernard said he needed to think about it.

I heard that Mr. Martin, the Counselor of the Consulate, recommended you to be Chief Inspector to Mr. Bernard when he discussed the matter with Mr. Bernard. "

Martin?

Two question marks appeared in Chen Ledao's head.

Chen Ledao knew that counselor was an official position in the consulate, but who was Martin?Why did he recommend me to be Chief Inspector?
Although he had official meals in the concession, Chen Ledao hadn't made a special effort to get to know the officials in the consulate.The only thing he knew was that the Consul General was called Bernard.

As for who the counselor is, Chen Ledao has never inquired specifically.

"Martin."

Chen Ledao mumbled the name, and vaguely felt that he had heard the name somewhere before, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

Martin, mentioning this name, the first thing that came to Chen Ledao's mind was Martin Luther King.But obviously the Martin here will not be Martin Luther King.

"Why did Mr. Martin recommend me to be Chief Inspector?"

Unable to think of a reason, Chen Ledao asked directly.

Fabre said: "It may be because your ability impressed him."

"."

Fabre's answer was not convincing, at least not convincing to Chen Ledao.

"Mr. Bernard agreed?" Chen Ledao asked.

He was still looking forward to it.

Fabre shook his head.

"Not yet, but I think he'll make a decision soon.

Chief Inspector Ma has been suspended, and now there is an urgent need for a Chief Inspector, and you are the most suitable. "

Fabre firmly believed that Chen Ledao was the most suitable candidate for Chief Inspector. After hearing his words, Chen Ledao didn't know whether to be happy or proud first.

He really didn't know that he was so good.

"But the relationship between Inspector Ma and Feng Jingyao is very good, this matter may not be so easy." Chen Ledao said.

Regarding the position of Chief Inspector, Chen Ledao also became serious.

Hugging Feng Jingyao's thigh is like hugging his thigh, but strengthening one's own strength is the most important thing.

Becoming the Chief Detective is a good opportunity to strengthen one's strength.

"No," Fabre shook his head, "They are not only good friends. Detective Ma was supported by Feng Jingyao, and he is the person Feng Jingyao placed in the patrol room."

Fabre's tone was firm.

Chen Ledao's statement was quite tactful, but Fabre's words directly exposed the fig leaf.

Although it's no secret that Inspector Ma is Feng Jingyao's person, this kind of thing is obviously not something that people like the director will know.

Fabre was able to figure this out in just a few short months, which is quite impressive.

Fabre looked at Chen Ledao seriously at this moment, and said:
"So, Henry, we must drive Feng Jingyao out of the concession first, so that you can successfully become the chief inspector and make our concession better."

Fabre puts a beautiful blueprint in front of Chen Ledao

But Chen Ledao shook his head in his heart.

This is not a joke.

To deal with the future father-in-law, this kind of thing can't be done, he Chen Ledao is very filial.

Filial piety is a traditional virtue of the Chinese nation and cannot be discarded.

Things came around again.

Subjectively, it doesn't matter whether Fabre is using the position of Chief Inspector to win over Chen Ledao, at least from an objective point of view, if Chen Ledao wants to become Chief Inspector, he has to help Fabre drive Feng Jingyao out of the lease.

Chief Inspector Chen Ledao certainly wanted it, but for this matter, he and Fabre deal with Feng Jingyao, which is not worth the candle.

It would be nice to have the best of both worlds.

To deal with Feng Jingyao?
Feng Jingyao was so excited that he would have to tremble even if he went to the beach.

Only fools would deal with Feng Jingyao.

Later, he became Feng Jingyao's son-in-law, and all the things under Feng Jingyao's hands belonged to him.Isn't this better!

Feng Jingyao's face for foreigners is not because he is afraid of any foreigner, but because he is afraid of the power behind the foreigner.

It really made Feng Jingyao anxious, I'm afraid it would be difficult for Fabre to leave the rental business.

It's just that once such an extreme thing is done, Feng Jingyao's forces will face unprecedented blows, and it is absolutely impossible for Feng Jingyao to do such a thing until the last moment.

Facing Fabre's attitude of wholeheartedly trying to deal with Feng Jingyao, Chen Ledao felt that this matter would be difficult to handle for a while.

But Fabre even proposed the position of chief inspector, but Chen Ledao didn't want him to slip away from him just like that.

Chief Inspector, you have to think about it.

This time, Fabre failed to persuade Fabre to give up targeting Feng Jingyao, but he finally figured out Fabre's real purpose.

What a simple and unpretentious idea to drive Feng Jingyao out of the rental industry!
For those who had this idea and took action, the grass on the grave should be two meters high now.

Chen Ledao originally wanted to popularize some of the power under Feng Jingyao to Fabre. Although Chen Ledao himself did not know how powerful Feng Jingyao was, he could exaggerate at will, as long as it made Fabre give up his dangerous ideas.

It's a pity that Fabre used to be a major in the army. Although he left the army and became a member of the police system, he still has the invincible belief in their army.

In fact, this is indeed in line with conventional thinking. No matter how powerful a gang is, it can't be stronger than the army, right?

Fabre didn't take Feng Jingyao seriously when he was backed by the garrison. It's really hard to say anything.

But the key point is that Feng Jingyao is not an ordinary gang member!

Coming out of the office, Chen Ledao frowned. The main purpose of coming this time was to understand what Fabre wanted to do.

Now the goal is achieved, but the newly added troubles make Chen Ledao even more headache.

Even the fact that Fabre wanted him to be the chief inspector couldn't suppress the restlessness in Chen Ledao's heart.

Walking, Chen Ledao unknowingly arrived at Xue Liangying's office again.

"It's coming out, how's it going? What did the director say?" Seeing Chen Le pushing the door in, Xue Liangying immediately asked.

Looking at Chen Ledao's furrowed brows, Xue Liangying knew that most of this matter had not been handled well.

Chen Ledao shook his head directly and let out a long sigh.

"The director wants to use this matter to make a big fuss and drive Feng Jingyao out of the rental business." Chen Ledao said dejectedly.

Compared to driving Feng Jingyao out of the rental business, it might be easier to kill Feng Jingyao directly.

The influence of Feng's Chamber of Commerce in the concession is like the roots of a thousand-year-old tree underground, intertwined and deeply rooted.

As soon as Xue Liangying heard this, she knew why Chen Ledao frowned.

He couldn't help frowning.

Drive Feng Jingyao out of the rental business?

Xue Liangying really didn't know what to say.

Although Xue Liangying was not interested in the affairs of Feng's Chamber of Commerce and the Ax Gang, it didn't mean that he didn't know anything.

How difficult is it to drive Feng Jingyao out of the rental business?

What Fabre said about driving Feng Jingyao out of the French Concession was not just to let Feng Jingyao move out of the French Concession, but also to drive out all the forces of the Feng Chamber of Commerce. How can this be done?

Xue Liangying shook her head, unable to think of a possible way to do this.

"The director really said that?" Xue Liangying asked.

Chen Ledao nodded.

"How is this possible? You didn't persuade the director to give up this idea?"

"How can I persuade you? Why don't you try it?"

Chen Ledao said to the sarcastic secretary.

Xue Liangying smiled awkwardly, how could this be possible.

Knowing Fabre, Xue Liangying knew that Fabre was a person who would never change his mind easily.

"The director not only wants to drive Feng Jingyao out of the rental business, but also wants him to admit his mistake in the newspaper and promise that he will never do it again." Chen Ledao said, if he didn't want to be more reserved, he would burst into tears now.

Xue Liangying shook his head, he now knew why Chen Ledao was so mournful.

He comforted:

"It's a good thing, at least the director just wants to drive Feng Jingyao out of the rental business, not directly deal with Feng Jingyao."

Chen Ledao gave Xue Liangying a supercilious look, what kind of consolation is this?
Is there any difference between driving Feng Jingyao out of the rental business and directly going to war with Feng Jingyao!
"I don't think it's that easy to get the director to give up on this matter. You'd better go to the Feng family to see the situation," Xue Liangying suggested.

Feng Jingyao, as a piece of old ginger in Shanghai, they couldn't think of a solution, Feng Jingyao might not have thought of a solution.

Feng Jingyao must also want to calm down this matter as soon as possible, and it is not a good thing for him to be worried about by a police chief like Fabre.

Chen Ledao nodded.

This matter really needs to go to the Feng family to see.

Although Uncle Xiang said on the phone that he would be given time to resolve the matter, Uncle Xiang was not Feng Jingyao after all.

This matter still needs to be discussed with old man Feng himself.

Chen Ledao slumped on the chair listlessly, not thinking about the mess that old man Feng made.He really wanted to just sit like this forever.

Every time at Xue Liangying's place, Chen Ledao feels that he is the most relaxed.

It would be even better if someone could give me a massage at this moment.

There was no massage, so Xue Liangying poured him another cup of tea.

After staying with the director for so long, his mouth should be parched.

Holding the teacup, Chen Ledao suddenly said:
"Do you know Counselor Martin at the Consulate?"

Xue Liangying nodded.

"I've seen it a few times, what's the matter? Could it be that he also wants to drive Feng Jingyao out of the rental business?"

"No." Chen Ledao shook his head, "The director said that Martin proposed to Consul Bernard that I be the chief inspector."

Chen Ledao said the news he got from Fabre.

When Xue Liangying heard this, his eyebrows twitched suddenly, his mouth opened wide, and he did not hide the surprise on his face.

How long have you been an inspector, and now you are going to be the chief inspector?

In the position of inspector, your butt is still hot, right?
"Why did Martin recommend you to be chief inspector? When did this happen?" Xue Liangying asked.

Chen Ledao shook his head, his mind was also foggy.

"I don't know, but it seems that I was recommended to be the Chief Inspector recently.

The director had told Consul Bernard that he wanted to change the chief inspector, and then Bernard and Martin discussed the matter, and Martin recommended me. "

"What is your relationship with Martin?"

"do not know."

"."

Chen Ledao himself was also confused.

Xue Liangying sighed inwardly.

Chen Le said what kind of luck this is, why does it feel like the whole world is revolving around him.

"You don't know each other, so why did he recommend you to be the Chief Inspector?"

"I don't know. You know Martin, what kind of person is he?" Chen Ledao asked.

"Who told you that I knew him." Xue Liangying retorted.

Chen Ledao looked at him.

"."

"I'm talking about meeting you a few times. Anyone who says you have met must know each other." Xue Liangying was annoyed.

The topic fell into dead silence, and neither of them could find the reason for this.

There was no one to massage, so Chen Ledao had no choice but to hold the teacup in one hand and massage his temples with the other.

The problem of the Ax Gang has not been resolved, and the matter of Fabre and Feng Jingyao is even more troublesome, and now there is another unknown Martin.

Although it was a good thing that Martin recommended him to be the Chief Inspector, but he couldn't figure out the reason behind it, which always made people feel uneasy.

Is it true that Martin is just optimistic about himself as Fabre said, so he recommends himself to be the chief inspector?
Chen Ledao shook his head.

Although this kind of thing cannot be said to be impossible, Chen Ledao has never believed in such a thing that fell from the sky.

If it's not relative, what is he planning?
How can these people who engage in politics have no purpose in doing things.

His mind was shrouded in fog, Chen Ledao took a sip of tea, put the cup on the table, and closed his eyes.

He was thinking about how to solve the matter of Jin Mesa and Martin, and fell asleep in a daze after thinking about it.
