Spy War 1929

Chapter 288 Holding Him

Chen Ledao left the director's office, leaving only Fabre sitting on a chair in the room.

Looking at the closed door, Fabre pulled out the drawer, took out the humidor from inside, and took out a cigar to light himself.

The smoke of the cigar filled in front of him, Fabre leaned back on the back of the chair, his eyes gradually deepened, and he thought about Chen Ledao's proposal just now.

"Establish an inspection department."

With a cigar in his left hand and coffee in his right, Fabre pondered the pros and cons of this matter.

Starting from the public, the establishment of a supervisory department seems to be really conducive to the integrity of the patrol room.

The reason why he came here to serve as the police chief is because the country is determined to rectify the corruption of the Shanghai French Concession Police Department.

The previous police department is almost rotten to the bone, and the police department has completely lost its original role.Today's police department is better than before, but it is still a serious illness.

Fabre himself is in charge of rectifying the police department, because some people in the police department are French, and only Fabre can rectify the situation by himself.

In fact, during this period of time, many people in the police department, whether they were Chinese, French, or other foreigners, were "destroyed" by Fabre and cleared out of the police department.

Today, the police station is much cleaner than before.

Of course, the police department here refers to the police department that does not include the patrol room.

Fabre is in charge of the police department, and Chen Ledao is in charge of the patrol room. The division of labor between the two is clear.

Chen Ledao, as the vanguard of Fabre to clean up the patrol room, it is worth mentioning that Fabre is very satisfied with the results of his work in the patrol room.

Otherwise, Chen Ledao would not have become the Chief Detective today. This kind of position requires a lot of qualifications. A young man in his 20s sat on it.

Fabre is willing to recommend Chen Ledao, but it is not enough simply because he appreciates and trusts Chen Ledao, he must also have sufficient political achievements.

Because the chief inspector cannot be an idiot with high salary and low ability.

Chen Ledao's achievements in Xiafei Road have proved his ability, and this is the real reason why Fabre can safely recommend Chen Ledao as the Chief Inspector.

Now that Chen Ledao has become the Chief Inspector, he has started to rectify the entire patrol room. With the precedent of the Xiafei Lu arrest house, Fabre has great confidence in Chen Ledao.

But as Chen Ledao said just now, even if it is rectified for a while, it is only a temporary thing. After a long time, it is difficult to guarantee that it will return to the previous state.

Fabre has been in Shanghai for more than half a year, and he already has a relatively clear understanding of the situation in Shanghai. In Shanghai, forget it, it is still in the French Concession. In the French Concession, the work of the police station is really not so easy to do.

The French Concession gathered what the Chinese call the upper class and the lower class, covering all levels of society. The most important thing here is the big shots from all walks of life.

Even if they are thieves, the thieves in the French Concession are also highly skilled.

After all, if he lost his hand when stealing the wallet of a big man, his hands and feet would be cut off, or he would become a floating corpse in the Huangpu River.

The brutal environment created the superb skills of the two men.

There are too many important people, and the work of the police station will bump into people they can't afford or dare not mess with from time to time.At this time, it is inevitable that the law will be unfair.

Injustice once, injustice twice, and gradually, it will remain unfair, and then corruption will naturally begin.

If there is a supervisory department, it can indeed solve this matter to a large extent.Although it is impossible to eliminate it, it can at least make the situation much better.

but
Fabre put down the coffee, rested his right hand on his knee, rubbing his thumb and index finger back and forth.

He is thinking.

Wouldn't it be a bit wasteful if the monitoring department was only monitoring the people in the patrol room? !
Fabre's eyes flickered.

Suddenly, he remembered something.

No, Henry said that in addition to monitoring the patrol room, he also had to monitor the entire concession.

Well, the purpose of establishing a supervisory department is to target corruption in the police station.

Well, it can be zoomed in a bit, it should target the entire police force!
Well, if it can target all government officials in the entire concession, the scope is a bit wide and it is not easy to do.

Fabre was thinking about Chen Ledao's proposal. He felt that this proposal seemed very interesting, but it was too limited for the patrol room.

In terms of monitoring targets, it should at least be the entire police department, so as not to waste resources.

There are two major departments in the concession, one is the police department, and the other is the public board of directors.

The Board of Directors covers a wide range of areas and manages various miscellaneous matters, unlike the police department, which is in charge of security in the concession.

Fabre felt that it would be very meaningful for this supervision department to allow him to supervise all officials in the concession.

However, if this is the case, then this is the establishment of a department other than the Board of Directors and the Police Department, and it is also a department specifically aimed at them.

He has no right to decide on this matter, it has to be decided by the consulate.

Fabre shook his head, thinking that this was unrealistic. The members of the board of directors would definitely take the lead in opposing it. Those guys were used to being unscrupulous, and they would not want an extra pair of eyes staring at them all the time in the concession.

Forget it, it is better for the supervision department to use the police department as the target of supervision.

In this way, the gang of capitalists in the board of directors has no reason to make irresponsible remarks.

In the police department, Fabre is the boss. If he tries his best to facilitate this matter, the consulate should not object.

For Yu Gong, this matter seems to be beneficial and harmless.

Personally speaking, well, it doesn't seem to be a good thing for other people in the police force, but it doesn't seem to be bad for Fabre.

What Fabre wants is a clean police department, and the establishment of a supervision department can indeed keep the police department clean to a certain extent.

Fabre couldn't help but nodded, and he felt more and more that it was right to let Chen Ledao be the chief inspector.

Although Chen Ledao is younger, he is young and promising!Dare to think and dare to do, not bad!
Fabre continued to think about this matter, thinking about it, thinking of the excitement, Fabre directly turned out the pen and paper, and began to write.

No, he has to think about this matter carefully, and then write a plan and submit it.

You can do this!

After Chen Ledao came out of Fabre's office, he went back to the central arresting room. He planned to call Xu Yunpeng and ask Xu Yunpeng to formally investigate Hu Yun's scandal, collect evidence, and find time to start the first fire.

But thinking of what he said to Fabre just now, Chen Ledao dismissed this attention again.

If Fabre really decides to set up a supervisory department, it seems more straightforward to use the supervisory department to do this, and it can also directly fire the first shot of the supervisory department.

Hu Yun, as the chief of the criminal section of the central arrest house, and also the younger brother of Hu Chou, the inspector of Foch's arrest house, is qualified to be the first target of the supervision department.

Although he was not sure whether Fabre would agree to his proposal, Chen Ledao felt that Fabre would most likely agree with it based on Fabre's obsession with rectifying the police department.

Chen Ledao decided to suppress the matter of punishing Hu Yun for the time being. If Fabre disagreed, it would not be too late for him to deal with Hu Yun.

Having figured this out, Chen Ledao put all these documents away and put them in the safe.

Although these things are not top-secret files, Chen Ledao feels that it is not the case if the safe is kept there and not used.

After dealing with the patrol room, Chen Ledao greeted Deng Chengwen and told him to keep an eye on it and let him know if there was anything to do.Then he took Zhang Xiaojun and Wang Liu out of the police building, and drove towards Feng's mansion.

Chen Ledao hadn't told Feng Jingyao about the result of having dinner with Lin Zirong.

Before the meal, Chen Ledao consulted old man Feng about it, but now that the meal is over, the old man will say something, it seems that it is not the case.

The car turned around in the concession, passed through several bustling streets, and finally arrived outside the gate of Feng's mansion.

Seeing that it was the future son-in-law who came to the door, the gatekeeper let it go directly, and Chen Ledao's car drove straight in, and went straight to the gate of the big villa.

Chen Ledao didn't have this kind of treatment before, and he would at least call the people inside before, but after Chen Ledao became the Chief Inspector, he already had the qualification to go in and out freely.

"Uncle Xiang," Chen Le said as he got out of the car, and saw Uncle Xiang waiting at the gate at first sight.

I don't know how Uncle Xiang knew he was here.

Zhang Xiaojun and Wang Liu greeted Uncle Xiang, who nodded and smiled at them.

"I heard that you had a meal with Lin Zirong, and Lin Zirong gave you all the shares in Huamao Hotel?"

When they walked in together, Uncle Xiang smiled and said.

Chen Ledao looked at Uncle Xiang in surprise.

"Uncle Xiang, do you even know about this?"

I'll go, the news is well-informed!
Neither he nor Lin Zirong could directly disclose this matter to others, how did Uncle Xiang know about it! ?

Chen Ledao was full of curiosity.

Seeing Chen Ledao's surprised expression, Uncle Xiang smiled.

"If we don't even know about this, how can we gain a foothold in Shanghai Bund." Uncle Xiang said.

"Let's go, I'll take you to see the master, the master is waiting for you in the study."

When Chen Ledao and Uncle Xiang were walking upstairs, Feng Chengcheng ran down from his room with a smile on his face.

Meeting two people on the stairs, she stopped.

Seeing Chen Ledao and Uncle Xiang together, a gloomy expression appeared on Feng Chengcheng's face.

"Uncle Xiang, Dad is going to see Le Dao again!" Feng Chengcheng said.

Ever since Feng Chengcheng swore sovereignty to those women at Chen Ledao's celebration last time, she seemed to really regard herself as Chen Ledao's fiancé, without the blushing and shy side she used to.

Uncle Xiang smiled, "Miss, Master has something serious to talk to Le Dao about."

"Business is business, every day is business." Feng Chengcheng muttered.

"Okay then, tell Dad to hurry up. Don't just sit around all day again."

Chen Ledao is obviously his fiancé, but every time he comes, he spends more time with his father than with himself.

Feng Chengcheng felt that the person who threatened him the most was not Gu Jingjing, nor Wen Manru, nor Fang Yanyun and Sheng Qi, but his own father.

Hearing Miss's petty words, Uncle Xiang smiled dotingly.

"Yes, miss, I will remind the master."

After the two finished speaking, Chen Ledao said to Feng Chengcheng:
"It's still early, if you're bored, let Wang Liu drive, and you can take Xiaojun to go out for a stroll."

Although the products of this era are not as dazzling as in the future, they are still quite rich.

Zhang Xiaojun wandered around behind her buttocks every day, Chen Ledao felt that it was time to reward her.

In case that girl scolds herself as a capitalist behind her back every day.

With Feng Chengcheng, a rich lady who was born and raised in Shanghai, she can also let that girl see the world and let her know that although her boss is rich, his life is actually very simple.

"Do you want to go out? Let's go out together after you finish talking with Dad. "

Although girlfriends are good, they are still hard to beat the temptation of boyfriends.

Seeing what Feng Chengcheng said, Chen Ledao nodded, "If you are in a hurry, that's fine."

It's been a long time since I went shopping with a girl, and Chen Ledao has the urge to die.

Feng Chengcheng went downstairs to find Zhang Xiaojun, while Chen Ledao followed Uncle Xiang into Feng Jingyao's study.

"Come on, sit down." Feng Jingyao was writing large characters on the table, while Chen Ledao stood beside him, took a look, and immediately flattered him.

Chen Ledao went all in on words like iron painted with silver hooks, what was majestic and powerful, and what looked like muscles and willow bones.

He writes like a tortoise with a hard pen, don't expect him to know calligraphy.

"I like it, then I'll give it to you." Feng Jingyao splashed ink, put the pen down after finishing writing, and smiled at Chen Ledao.

Chen Ledao seldom saw Feng Jingyao smile, this old man most of the time had a face of class struggle.

Laughing at this moment, I don't know whether it was because his flattery hit the itchy spot, or if he thought of something happy.

When Feng Jingyao bestowed words, Chen Ledao naturally followed up.

Whether he is good or not, anyway, it must be better than what I wrote.

"A small leak will sink a great ship."

Chen Ledao barely recognized this sentence.

I don't know why the old man wrote this sentence.

"I heard that Lin Zirong gave you all the shares in Huamao Hotel in his hand?" Feng Jingyao said.

Chen Ledao nodded, he didn't know what the old man wanted to do.

Old man Lin said that Feng Jingyao also owns 5.00% of the shares. Could it be that old man Feng wants to give him the shares in his hand to round up the whole number?

Chen Ledao thought happily.

"This old fellow is quite generous. He even offered to give away the shares of Chinachem Hotel." Feng Jingyao shook his head lightly.

Chen Ledao smiled when he heard the words, and asked, "How do you know about this?"

"Me? Hehe, not only I know about this, but also Feng Laosan of the Ax Gang.

The conversation you had at the Huamao Hotel that day was clearly heard by Feng Laosan's people. "

Ok? !

Feng Jingyao actually knew about being monitored that day!
Chen Ledao's heart skipped a beat.

"Didn't your people chase those people all the way to the outside of Feng Wenhong's villa that day? You know about this, tell me what you think." Feng Jingyao said.

Is the old man trying to pick me up again?

Chen Ledao turned around in his heart, and said simply: "I came here today to ask you about this matter."

Old men, especially old men with brilliant experiences, when getting along with them, you must support them!

The old man is so arrogant, holding them, they are comfortable, and he is also comfortable.

Feng Jingyao really wanted to study Chen Ledao, but now he heard such a respectful sentence, his face burst into a smile.

Chen Ledao is now a well-known young man in Shanghai, and he is also Feng Jingyao's prospective son-in-law.

His flattery is naturally not comparable to other people's flattery.

Chen Ledao's flattery is of higher quality, and it does not follow the quantity. It is a hunger marketing route.

As soon as Feng Jingyao was happy, his desire to test Chen Ledao's mind suddenly faded a bit, and he was going to change the test into experience guidance.
