Spy War 1929

Chapter 81

In the office, facing Chen Ledao's eyes, Wei Zhengyun sat upright, sorted out his thoughts, and said:
"If the Mailan arrest house really has evidence, it shouldn't be so quiet. Maybe they will directly arrest people. They came secretly to inquire about the news. There should be no evidence, and maybe they are just suspicious."

Evidence or not is not important in the police station's work, and torture has always been the main focus.In view of Chen Ledao's status, there is no evidence that he can't get him.But this matter involves the French, if there is real evidence, Chen Ledao's identity will not be easy to use.

Chen Ledao nodded lightly, and he was more inclined to Wei Zhengyun's statement in his heart.In the police force, he knew how much trouble the DuPont incident had brought to the patrol room.

In the past two days, the staff in the police building did not dare to speak loudly after work. Everyone knew that Director Fiori was in a bad mood and had a bad temper.

"You can't relax about this matter. You have people to watch the Mai Lan's house and monitor their recent movements. If there is any big move, report it immediately." Chen Ledao said Shen Yin.

"Okay," Wei Zhengyun nodded.

After Wei Zhengyun left, Chen Ledao continued to sit in the office. The quiet environment allowed him to concentrate. Thinking of Mai Lan's house arrest and inspector Tielin, the previous thought came up again.

It can't be a coincidence that the Mai Lan hunting house and Tielin appeared together, but since then, what kind of world is this?

Hodgepodge?

Rubbing his chin with his fingers, feeling the rough touch of his fingertips, Chen Ledao thought quietly.

"I came to Shanghai Tang three months ago, and now I am an interpreter for the Political Department of the Police Department; Ye Weiyang has been open for more than two months, and it is now the number one dance hall in the foreign concession!"

Thinking of what Old Liu told him about Ye Weiyang's boss, Chen Ledao, Tielin felt a little unbelievable.

Shanghai Beach is a magical place, everything can be obtained overnight, but it is still unimaginable that a person can achieve this level in only three months after arriving in Shanghai Beach.

"This person is not simple!" Standing in front of the window with one hand in his trouser pocket and the other holding a cup of coffee, Tielin was even more impressed with Chen Ledao.

"The most important thing is that this person has a somewhat unclear relationship with the Feng family. Chen Lianshan, Feng Jingyao, and Du Pont are all involved." He took out his hand in his trouser pocket and touched the back of his head. This complicated relationship gave him a headache.

This person has only been in Shanghai for less than three months, but he has done a lot.

"He can quickly gain a foothold in the muddy pond of Shanghai Bund. He is definitely not as simple as it appears on the surface. If he wants to kill Dupont, he should be able to do it." Taking a sip of the hot coffee, Tielin sat back to his seat with the cup.

The coffee was placed on the table, and the body leaned back, leaning against the back of the chair in a comfortable posture, with legs crossed, with complicated thoughts in his mind, and he couldn't come to a conclusion at the moment.

The more he knew about Chen Ledao, the weirder he felt about this person.At first glance, there seems to be nothing strange, but when you think about it carefully, it is full of fog.

I can't see through it!
Closing his eyes and leaning on the backrest, Tielin raised his hand and rubbed the center of his brows, dispelling the upset between his brows.

"Old Liu asked people who spoke well of him, saying that he is a conscientious businessman, but is this possible? This Shanghai beach can really accommodate a conscientious businessman. Can such a businessman gain a foothold in Shanghai beach so quickly?" Two big questions floated out.

The patrol has been going on for a long time, and it seems that everyone has problems.

Thinking of that one-sided evaluation, Tielin felt that Chen Ledao was a deep-minded, sinister and cunning person.

Apart from a deliberate disguise, he doesn't believe that there are really people who can get everyone's praise.

I have been on patrol for so long, what kind of people have I never seen?
"I don't want to, I will know everything when I meet tomorrow!" Standing up, looking at the night outside the window, Tielin took his hat, and if he stayed any longer, he would have to ask the director for overtime pay.

Time passed quickly, the night receded in a hurry, and the dawn was twilight in the sky.

After eating the breakfast prepared by Aunt Liu, Chen Ledao drove to the police station again.

The two familiar patrolmen were still standing guard. When they saw Chen Ledao, they greeted him warmly. Chen Ledao responded with a smile and entered the gate.

Seeing Chen Ledao passing by, the two patrolmen couldn't help moving their lips, and wanted to ask Chen Ledao when their positions would be transferred.But their lips were murmured, until Chen Ledao entered the gate, neither of them asked.

"Why don't you ask!" Seeing Chen Ledao disappearing from sight, the patrolman on the right said anxiously.

The policeman on the left glanced at him when he heard the words, "Didn't you ask!" After speaking, he gave him a supercilious look.

"I, didn't I slip without your lips!"

"Oh, good morning, went out to patrol the streets again?" Chen Ledao happened to meet Chen Hanlin in the corridor, and asked with a smile.

Chen Hanlin still had the spear on his back, and a baton hanging from his waist.There was no enthusiasm and excitement on his face. After these days, he gradually accepted the status quo of the patrol room.

"Why are you only here now!"

Chen Ledao raised his hand to check the time, it was less than ten o'clock, "Isn't it still early!"

Chen Hanlin remained silent.

Silently, he suddenly thought of Tielin's visit to his house yesterday, and said:
"Yesterday, Tielin, the inspector of the Mailan arrest house, went to see my dad and asked about Dupont."

Chen Ledao blinked, a look of doubt and surprise appeared on his face at the right time.

"The Dupont business is hosted by the Mylan House, but what are they going to see your father for?"

"Because of the spinning mill, maybe my dad is also suspected." Chen Hanlin shook his head, looked at Chen Le and said.

"Don't you have a gap with Dupont? They should come to you too."

"Maybe, but I haven't been here yet," Chen Ledao shook his head, with no abnormal expression on his face.

The two spoke a few more words before Chen Hanlin left with a gun on his back, while Chen Ledao went up the stairs to the Political Department.

Before walking far, Chen Hanlin suddenly turned around and looked at the back of Chen Ledao on the stairs.

Chen Ledao had already reached the second floor at this time, and quickly disappeared around the corner of the stairs.He took a few deep glances, his eyes flickering with thoughtful light.Chen Hanlin turned and left again.

Chen Hanlin's figure disappeared in the corridor, and Chen Ledao suddenly appeared at the stairs again, looked at Chen Hanlin's back, and shook his head.

"Do you suspect it's me? Don't I look like a good person?" He muttered, turned and walked away.

Xue Liangying is like a civil servant who has no pursuit and spends all day eating and waiting to die. Apart from coming to work early every day, he has no other pursuits.

Chen Ledao walked into the office, he was already sitting behind his desk, holding the unfinished book of The West Chamber in his hand.

The real classics always need to be savored carefully to understand the essence.

It was another day of wanting nothing, and the two of them were outliers in the political department.However, thanks to this kind of life, Chen Ledao's Japanese is getting better and better the more he learns.

Up to now, he can occasionally speak a few words of obscenity to Xue Liangying in Japanese.

It was approaching the end of get off work time, and Chen Ledao was about to leave when the phone on the wall next to him rang suddenly.This is a phone shared by two people.

"You answer it, most of them are looking for you." Xue Liangying glanced at the phone, lowered her head again, and continued to immerse herself in the world of literature.

Xue Liangying was closer to the phone, so he could get up when he got up, but almost all the calls he answered were for Chen Ledao, and he was too lazy to answer them now.

As the inspector of the arresting house, although Tie Lin and Chen Ledao are not subordinate to each other, Tie Lin official is bigger than Chen Ledao.Chen Ledao is not even considered an official, but a civil servant.However, the status of civil servants in the Political Department is quite special.

Although I don't know why Tielin wanted to meet him in Yeweiyang, but Chen Ledao didn't refuse, just to see if he was a layman with money.

"I see,"

He hung up the phone and glanced at his watch, it was almost time for him to leave work.

"The time is right, why don't you come here to see me directly during working hours!"

Sighing and shaking his head, don't the patrols in other divisions like to work overtime?Chen Ledao pondered in his heart.

I have never heard of overtime pay for overtime work!
"Aren't you leaving? I'm leaving!" Chen Ledao asked Xue Liangying as he took his coat.

"It's a few minutes before get off work. Who wants to see you?" Xue Liangying asked.

"Tie Lin, the inspector of Mai Lan's arrest house," Chen Ledao said truthfully.

Xue Linying looked up at him, saw that his expression was normal, and lowered himself again.

"Should be asking you about DuPont."

"Well, it should be, let's go." After saying something casually, Chen Ledao opened the door and left.

When Ye Weiyang arrived, A Biao was already waiting for him outside.

Chen Ledao thought that Tielin would wait for him in the office or meeting room, but unexpectedly, when he entered with A Biao, Tielin was drinking wine with another policeman on the second floor.

Leisurely leisurely, so uncomfortable.

"Tie Patrol Chief, hello, you've been famous for a long time." Turning his eyes around the two, Chen Ledao looked at the man with the darker face.

"Translator Chen, I'm really sorry, please make this trip." Tielin got up, smiled and shook hands with Chen Ledao.

Both of them are members of the police system, and they became acquainted with each other after a few polite greetings.

"Iron Inspector, are you going upstairs to the office or are you here?"

"Let's just go here. I have to come to visit on a routine basis. Just say a few words. Let's not treat others like this."

Chen Ledao originally thought that Tielin would be a hot-tempered person, but it doesn't look like that.

"Okay, that's it." Chen Ledao sat down beside him, and waved to a waiter at the same time.

"Bring up those bottles of wine that I treasure."

Looking at the boss with both eyes, the waiter was stunned. When did the boss have the wine in his collection?
Just as he was about to speak, a hand behind him suddenly pressed down on him, and Wei Zhengyun walked over with a smile.

"Boss, I'll get it for you."

Chen Ledao nodded.

Walking to the wine cabinet, Wei Zhengyuan knocked on the table, and the waiter turned around and looked over.

"Bring me a bottle of the most expensive wine." Wei Zhengyun said.

Does the boss have any treasured wine? It's just that the most expensive wine and the treasured wine have different meanings.

"Translator Chen, I'm here this time for DuPont's affairs. You are well informed in the Political Department. Have you heard any useful information?" Tielin didn't beat around the bush, he's not good at that.

Hearing this, Chen Ledao straightened his face, "I haven't heard any useful news, but I have heard rumors outside."

After saying this, without waiting for Tielin to ask, Chen Ledao said again:
"Du Pont, I have also had contact with him, and even had friction. Like most foreigners, he is superior to us Chinese and feels superior to others. In addition, he is a bit lustful."

Chen Ledao remembered that when Tielin was targeting a Japanese murderer, he stood firm and did not retreat because of the identity of the other party.From this point of view, he should be patriotic.

"I heard that Translator Chen came back from France. Judging by your appearance, it should be." Tielin interjected.

Chen Ledao smiled, nodded indifferently and said, "My father is Chinese, my mother is French, and I am of mixed race."

"Although I wear western clothes, my heart is still Chinese! In my body, the blood of Yanhuang is always flowing."

Tielin's face was stunned, because of the confusion of many things about Chen Ledao, he didn't have much affection for Chen Ledao, but when he heard this, he suddenly felt ashamed.

Although I wear a foreign dress, my heart is still Chinese!

If it is not true patriotism, how can a mixed race who grew up in France speak such careless Chinese.

Without speaking, Tielin solemnly raised his wine glass.

"Translator Chen, for nothing but what you just said, I would like to toast you!"

His mind is not complicated, and compared with those old fritters of Lao Ma, he can even be said to be simple.Chen Ledao's words just now entered his heart firmly.

As a patrolman in the patrol room, he had also received some criticism and was called a lackey of the French.But in his heart, he just wanted to be a real policeman.

Unhealthy tendencies prevailed in the patrol room in the concession. No one solved the cases that should be solved, and no one did the things that should be done.When he was the policeman, he just wanted to really do something for the Chinese in the concession.

Although I wear a foreign dress, my heart is still Chinese!Isn't this a portrayal of his heart!

At this moment, Tielin almost forgot that Chen Ledao was his suspect, he was obviously a confidant.

After drinking, Chen Ledao continued to say that Tielin's attitude towards him was obviously more serious than before.

"At the beginning, I had a grudge with DuPont because of Miss Fang Yanyun. DuPont is hypocritical and looked down on us Chinese in his heart. Maybe it was because I stopped him that time and hated me.

Later, he asked Uncle Jiu, the deputy chief inspector of the central arresting room, to send someone to my ballroom to make trouble, but luckily, by chance, no damage was caused. "

Without waiting for Tielin to ask, Chen Ledao told all the grievances between himself and DuPont, and insisted on being frank and lenient.

"He deserved what happened this time and got retribution. But he offended too many people in Shanghai, and he doesn't even care about Mr. Feng Jingyao. You can imagine, who else in Shanghai is not like him. Dare to offend."

Tielin nodded lightly after listening, what he said made sense.

Chen Ledao cooperated so much and made no secret of the grievances between him and DuPont, Tielin became less suspicious of him in his heart.

"Translator Chen, everyone is saying that Mr. Feng may have done the DuPont incident. Do you think this is true?" He kept the last rationality in his heart and asked tentatively.

"Hehe," Chen Ledao suddenly shook his head and smiled.

Tielin looked at him suspiciously, not knowing why he was laughing.

"Mr. Feng can have such a great reputation in Shanghai, how can he not know who can offend and who can't offend. If he wants to kill Du Pont, how can he be caught by others? Not to mention there are people talking about it outside This issue."

Chen Ledao was calm at the moment, obviously he sneered at the fact that Du Bang was killed by Feng Jingyao.

Without waiting for Chen Hanlin to intervene, he gave his own clear answer.

"This is, in my opinion, nonsense and baseless."
