The Bourne Counterattack

Chapter 367 Consensus
Cheng Mo read the file carefully again, put it together, stood up and went out.

dong dong.

Cheng Mo knocked on the door of the office of Chief Patrol Officer York.

"Enter!"

"Oh, Cheng, I knew you would come." When Old York saw Cheng Mo coming in, he quickly stood up and greeted, "What would you like to drink?"

"Just boiled water will do."

"I just bought some good coffee, you must try it." Old York offered to make coffee for Cheng Mo.

"My pleasure."

"Did you get the gang rape case?" Old York glanced at the file in Cheng Mo's hand and asked first.

"Yes." Cheng Mo nodded, "Mr. Yue, this case is very clear, why did it need to be transferred to the special agent unit?"

"The case is not complicated, but how to close it is difficult." Old York also said it bluntly. After all, he didn't like the Japanese either, but the current political situation was like this.

Behind the Japanese's arrogance and domineering is their military capital.

"Everyone has been released. Even if we find these three guilty of gang rape, the court will not be able to impose substantial punishment on them if they are tried in absentia." Cheng Mo said.

"how do you want to do it?"

"The patrol room must have its own attitude. We have witnesses and physical evidence. This case cannot be confirmed as rape. It is just the subjective words of the three Japanese ronin. Besides, they did not say so at the beginning, and they are suspected of changing their confessions. "

"But those three people were obviously drunk when they were arrested. They can overturn their confessions. Because they did not say what they said while sober, they are not considered to be true words at all, or were they induced to confess?"

"Excuse me, when you are drunk and don't even count what you said, how can they conclude that the girl deliberately seduced you when you are sober?" Cheng Mo retorted, "So, I think their so-called inference should not be accepted. We Let’s talk based on facts and evidence.”

"You want to end the case on the charge of gang rape?" Old York asked.

"Yes."

"Miyamoto will not agree. He will definitely object. By then, your case will be put on hold." Old York said.

"The person in charge of this case is Inspector Cheng Peisheng. He and I voted for Miyamoto. Two out of three votes were in favor and one vote was against. It passed." Cheng Mo said.

"Are you sure you can convince Cheng Peisheng?"

"He's afraid of offending Miyamoto, but he's not afraid of offending me. Furthermore, he pretended to be ill and turned in the case because he knew that if he agreed with Miyamoto's opinion on closing the case, he would be stabbed in the back for the rest of his life. The reputation is ruined. Since I take the lead and I bear 70% of the pressure, he has 30%. He should know how to choose." Cheng Mo said.

"What if he doesn't work or die?"

"He wants to get his son into the patrol room. If he doesn't agree, then the son will have no chance of inheriting his father's business." Cheng Mo said, "As a patrol officer, if you can't enforce the law impartially, how can you be competent in your job?"

"Okay, I agree to this. These Japanese prodigals are running amok in the concession. We can't just let them do whatever they want." Old York nodded and agreed to Cheng Mo's suggestion.

Reaching a consensus with Old York is the first step.

In fact, the British did not like the Japanese at all, but they were afraid of their military superiority in Shanghai.

...After coming out of Old York's office, Cheng Mo hurriedly wrote a closing letter. Then he took the closing letter, bought some fruits and nutritional supplements, and went to Cheng Peisheng's home.

Cheng Peisheng's house is an old-fashioned Shikumen house. There are six people in the family, including an old mother and three children.

The eldest son is about to become an adult, and his academic performance is not very good, so he will not be able to enter college. Cheng Peisheng wants him to join the patrol room, so that he can take care of him for a while before retiring.

Anyone who can get the position of detective in the patrol house in the concession is not bad, the income is not low, and this house is his own.

It can be considered a middle-class family in Shanghai.

However, with a large family all relying on him, the burden is still quite heavy, especially with two children, both still young and still studying. Although the old mother can take care of herself, she is unable to earn money to support the family.

It is not easy for the wife to take care of such a large family. She has no time to go out to make money. She only occasionally does small odd jobs to supplement the family income.

Not everyone who works as a police detective is prosperous.

Some people are just better than ordinary people.

Cheng Peisheng's house in Laozha was pretty good. This was the core area of ​​the concession and there were no messy things.

Take the Jing'an Temple prison house, which is located right next to the west of Shanghai. They are busy every day, and sometimes their lives are in danger.

The bad land in the west of Shanghai is now the world of No. 76. Cases of murder and arson occur every day. The criminal unit is so busy that the sky is dark and the sky is dark. Only they know how hard it is.

Cheng Peisheng is not sick. To say he is sick, his blood pressure is a little high, but he takes medicine regularly and there is basically no problem.

I'm not sick, but I can't wander around and can only move around in my own yard.

My wife had just gone out to buy vegetables. The door was not closed tightly, and Cheng Peisheng did not close it. The market was close, and my wife would be back soon. If he closed it, someone would get up and open the door.

A leisure chair, a purple clay pot, and a radio.

What was playing on the radio was "Universal Frontier" sung by Master Mei Lanfang. Although Cheng Peisheng didn't have a good tune, he was still a theater fan and liked to hum along, as if he was intoxicated by it.

Cheng Mo wanted to knock on the door, but when he heard humming coming from inside, he looked around and saw Cheng Peisheng lying comfortably on the leisure chair in the courtyard. This was not recuperating at home. He was clearly looking for an excuse to deliberately miss work and enjoy himself. .

Cheng Mo stretched out his hand and pushed it gently. The door opened, and it was about the size of a person. He stepped in directly.

"I'm back. I'm talking to you. Why don't you answer..." Cheng Peisheng is also a veteran policeman. He felt that the footsteps were different from his wife's. He quickly opened his eyes and saw Cheng Mo walking in with a smile. He was so frightened that he quickly stood up and said, "Oh, Inspector Cheng, why are you here?"

"Haha, I heard that you are sick, Lao Cheng, and I thought to myself, we are in the same prison house, and we are both detectives, and we are from the same family. We are usually very caring. I happened to pass by you, so I came over to take a look." Cheng Mo didn't say that he came here specially, otherwise it would be embarrassing for others, "I bought these at the intersection, it's a little thoughtful."

"How can I be so embarrassed and ask you to spend money?" Cheng Peisheng didn't want to accept it, but he couldn't let Cheng Mo hold up one hand, so he could only reach out and take the fruits and nutritional supplements that Cheng Mo bought.

"Lao Cheng, although we have the same surname, we don't have much interaction in the prison house. This is your first time here, so please bear with me if I'm not polite."

"How dare you, how dare you." Cheng Peisheng hurriedly welcomed Cheng Mo into the living room and sat down.

Cheng Peisheng is not stupid either. He is from the criminal unit, while Cheng Mo is from the political unit and is the responsible detective. Although they are in the same arresting room and they can't see each other when they look up or down, they are all minding their own business, and they usually just do that. Meet and say hello during meetings.

The real relationship is just like that. Cheng Mo suddenly came to his home with gifts, probably because he didn't go to the Three Treasures Palace for nothing.
