No. 22, Xue Huali Road.
Central patrol room conference room.
On the rostrum, Vice President Cheng, wearing a straight uniform of a senior police officer, sat alone in the middle.
The first row under the stage are the inspectors and deputy inspectors of each patrol.
Behind them are the senior inspectors of each patrol, as well as the patrol officers at home.
"Mr. Xiao Cheng, with a serious expression."
"What is the task of arresting the house? What is the value of patrolling?" He looked around at everyone, "Who will answer me?"
When everyone saw Mr. Cheng's serious expression, they all sighed.
Cheng Qianfan's voice suddenly rose, "Protect the territory and the people! Protect a pure land!" "The current situation is very difficult, and people are pouring into the concession one after another. Why?"
Isn’t it because the Chinese world has been occupied by the Japanese?
A patrolman muttered in his mind.
"Safe, stable, and peaceful!" Cheng Qianfan knocked on the table, "Because everyone knows that our French Concession has good security, because they can live in peace in the French Concession!"
"Everyone, I once proudly believed that our Central District is a model of public security in the French Concession!"
Cheng Qianfan pointed to the plaque hanging high in the conference room that read, "Protect the environment and the people." This plaque was donated by an enthusiastic citizen when Qin Detai was in the Central Patrol Office. According to the personal identification of Lao Sheng of the Document Section, the calligraphy was written by a famous artist. "But, what is this?" Cheng Qianfan took out a pile of letters from his briefcase and threw it on the table!
"Lu Hu, come and read it." Cheng Qianfan glanced at Datou Lu.
"Yes!" Datou Lu bravely took the two letters from Li Haoshi.
"In broad daylight, gangsters are committing crimes on the streets, so where is the patrol? What's the point of the patrol room?"
"The salary of one dollar and fifty cents that I just received was robbed on the street. There was a high hall on top, a swaddling clothes on the bottom, no preserved fruits, and there was only sorrow and pity in my eyes. Let me ask the police officers of the Central Patrol Office, where were you when the common people were in trouble? !”
"Someone robbed the great monk of his incense money? Is there any justice?"
"The patrolman and the deputy are colluding with each other! It's especially abominable!"
Lu Hu stumbled while reading, observing Cheng Qianfan's face from time to time.
Snapped!
Xiao Cheng slapped his palm on the table, "No need to read!"
He waved his hand and motioned for Lu Hu to sit down.
"I still have a lot of letters like this in my desk drawer." Cheng Qianfan said with a gloomy face. "These are just letters, and there are also newspapers. That is the hardest hit area. There are endless criticisms and accusations. If I hadn't ordered strong suppression, the entire Shanghai beach would be destroyed now." They are all discussing our French Concession and criticizing our Central District Patrol Room for serving vegetarian meals with corpses!"
"Inspector, what's going on, Vice President Cheng?" One of Yuan Kaizhou's men asked softly in the audience.
Xiao Cheng always gets angry, but that's okay. Who hasn't been scolded by Vice President Cheng?
However, when did Mr. Xiao Cheng care so much about ordinary citizens and the safety of refugees who escaped into the concession?
"Tu Helin." Yuan Kaizhou whispered.
The commander Tu who dared to stroke Mr. Cheng's beard has been on the run. The patrol room has been arresting him for some time, but his whereabouts have never been traced.
Just this morning, a rumor even came out. Commander Tu said that he would seek repayment from Mr. Cheng for the blood debt of his brother who was killed.
This is simply an act of provocation!
Whether it was for personal safety reasons, for the sake of face, or to deter overt or covert enemies, Cheng Qianfan had to respond.
but……
His intuition told him that Cheng Qianfan's methods would not be so rough.
Although this is in the name of citizen safety, it is not enough, and it is a little bit worse. After all, the French have never paid much attention to this.
After all, ordinary people are being blackmailed and killed?
Isn't this normal in this world?
As long as there is no chaos in the market and as long as foreigners are not harassed, the French Concession will be a paradise.
"My order!" Cheng Qianfan looked around at everyone with a gloomy expression.
A brush sound.
All the inspectors, deputy inspectors, and senior inspectors stood up and stood respectfully.
"We have launched a week-long 'street cleaning operation' within the jurisdiction of our central district." "Each patrol has strengthened street patrols and severely cracked down on crimes such as robbery, abduction, kidnapping, and murder!"
"No one can shirk or slack off when citizens ask for help on the street. Violators will be severely punished!"
Some patrolmen murmured secretly that Vice President Cheng's request was a bit excessive.
"What a mess!" Cheng Qianfan slammed the table angrily, "What are these two days? My brain is so messed up!"
The person who reacted quickly understood immediately.
It's July 14th, the National Day of France. Vice President Cheng is trying to please the French.
Everyone couldn't help but admire Cheng Qianfan. He was worthy of Mr. Cheng, who could think of such things to save face.
"In the Document Section, Laoshenghui has arranged for personnel to cooperate with our department in entering and verifying the house." Cheng Qianfan glanced at everyone, "For refugees who have not applied for documents for a long time, they must complete the document processing on the same day and be fined in accordance with the regulations."
"Each ministry deployed capable personnel to urge merchants to fly the French flag." Cheng Qianfan paused.
"Of course, considering that citizens and merchants have no way to purchase the French flag, I am anxious to meet the urgent needs of the public and provide door-to-door sales." He said with a serious expression, "Those who do not hoist the national flag are not allowed to open their doors for business."
Hearing these words, everyone's faces showed excitement. That's right. This is Mr. Cheng who everyone is familiar with and extremely supportive of!
"I stress again, there must be no excuses for citizens asking for help on the street. It is my duty to protect citizens." Cheng Qianfan looked solemn and lowered his voice slightly. "The Political Department will have commissioners to check at any time, and there will also be reporters from the press. Undercover visit!”
Everyone suddenly understood and expressed their opinions to ask Vice President Cheng to reassure him.
"Mr. Jin, Vice President Cheng is holding a meeting. Do you really want to take a look?" Su Zhe poured a glass of water for Jin Kemu, who was playing with a string of beads, and asked softly.
"What are you going to see?" Jin Kemu didn't look up.
"It's not good for you to be absent from the high-level meeting of the patrol room..." Su Zhe said. "Qianfan greeted me in advance." Jin Kemu said. He glanced at Su Zhe and couldn't help but give Su Zhe a headache. "Don't I know what your kid is planning?"
"Stop fucking jumping up and down." Jin Kemu cursed.
"Nothing." Su Zhe smiled sarcastically.
"Cheng Qianfan came to the patrol room in the morning and went to meet with Pete. He took charge of this matter and did not report it to the Political Office for approval." Jin Kemu chuckled, "Qianfan can do this kind of thing. I And I don’t understand French, so it’s hard to talk to Pete.”
Is this a matter of speaking French?
Su Zhe was anxious.
Jin Kemu waved his hand, "Get out of here, don't bother me looking at the beads."
Glancing at Su Zhe who walked away angrily, Jin Kemu chuckled and shook his head.
He saw that the whole thing was Cheng Qianfan's handiwork. This kid wanted to flatter the French and let him go. Cheng Qianfan was better at this kind of thing than him.
The most important thing is that this kind of credit is dispensable for Jin Kemu. It is already very difficult for him to climb to the position of chief inspector of the central patrol room. It is impossible to go further. If something had not happened to Qin Detai, he would have Jin Kemu will probably retire from the position of deputy chief inspector in this life.
Since there is no hope of climbing, let alone stop Cheng Qianfan from improving his performance. Cheng Qianfan had greeted him before, seemingly asking Mr. Jin if he had time to preside over the meeting. In fact, the important thing about this greeting was not what he said, but what he said, this action:
He, Cheng Qianfan, knows the rules!
After all, Cheng Qianfan was only the deputy chief inspector, and the achievements he made were also under his leadership, Jin Kemu!
The next day.
Newspapers reported that the Central District Patrol Office, under the auspices of Deputy Chief Inspector Cheng Qianfan, had begun a week-long "street cleaning operation" to crack down on various cases of rape, kidnapping, extortion, abduction, murder and other crimes that caused great public outrage.
A large number of troublemakers, such as Yakuza, Qingpi and Sanguang, were punished and given warnings. The newspaper also focused on a story about a woman with her child who was robbed of a vegetable basket with a knife on the street. The woman shouted for help. Fortunately, a police patrol was nearby. The police immediately came to the rescue and successfully captured the two robbers. They also escorted the citizens to buy vegetables and go home. The move won applause and cheers from the citizens.
In an interview with the Shanghai News, Deputy Chief Inspector Cheng Qianfan of the French Concession Central Patrol House made a stern statement:
The patrol room must protect citizens' money bags and vegetable baskets!
On the afternoon of the same day, Jin Kemu, Chief Inspector of the Central Patrol Room, Cheng Qianfan, Deputy Chief Inspector, and Lieutenant Pete of the Political Department jointly submitted the
Central District's Clean Street, one-day report on the implementation of the operation was formally submitted to the Chief Superintendent of the French Concession, Mr. Ferguson.
Also presented were the praises of the Central Patrol Room from major newspapers.
Sir Ferguson was greatly appreciated.
The French Concession's Ministry of Industry and Industry also expressed great appreciation for the patrol house's street cleaning action.
So, on July 14, the French Bastille Day, the Office of the Chief Inspector of Patrols launched the six patrols in the French Concession and requested to carry out a "street cleaning operation" throughout the French Concession.
It emphasizes the requirement for police officers to respond to citizens' requests for help in the most eager manner during the National Day celebrations and protect the safety of citizens' lives and property.
At the same time, the Red Party also received an organizational notice. In view of the changes in the situation in the patrol room in the past two days, if comrades are arrested by the enemy and have no other alternative, they can choose to report to the patrol as citizens. Ask for help.
July 14th.
Aitang Road.
Che Luwang was playing mahjong with Li Wanmao and others at home.
Through the sport of playing mahjong, Che Luwang, who had just been transferred to Shanghai District not long ago, has already developed a close relationship with her colleagues.
In addition, Li Wanmao also completed the preliminary test of Yu Zhengze at the poker table and decided to join the former Wang Tiemu confidant.
Just then, the phone rang.
This apartment is Che Luwang's temporary residence. He went to answer the phone with a cigarette in his mouth.
The call was from Wang Yin.
He asked Che Luwang to go out to meet.
"What's wrong?" Seeing Che Luwang frowning and thinking, Li Wanmao asked casually. "Wang Yin called and said that his father wanted to see me." Che Luwang said.
"Wang Ironmu wants to see you?" Li Wanmao frowned.
From a rational point of view, Che Luwang and Wang Yin were talking about a partner, and it was okay for Wang Tiemu to want to see Che Luwang.
However, considering that the relationship between Wang Tiemu and Boss Dai was somewhat stiff, Li Wanmao did not think that it was a good thing for Che Luwang to be too close to Wang Tiemu.
"Wang Yin is Wang Yin, and Wang Ironmu is Wang Ironmu." Li Wanmao said, "Nowadays, it is best not to get too close to Wang Ironmu."
As soon as Li Wanmao said this, several other people also persuaded Che Luwang not to go to see Wang Tiemu.
Among them, Yu Zhengze seemed to firmly express his attitude of breaking up with Wang Zhimu, and even said:
After Wang Tiemu was criticized by the boss, he wandered around the dance hall and made many complaints. He believes that Wang Tiemu is acting suspiciously and must be careful.
Che Luwang was unhappy. He warned Yu Zhengze that no matter what, Wang Tiemu was Wang Yin's father and he should still respect this senior military commander.
Yu Zhengze smiled awkwardly and said nothing more.
Anyway, his purpose of saying this has been achieved. For him, a remnant of Wang Tiemu's former dynasty, what better way to separate him than to express his suspicion that there is something wrong with Wang Tiemu?
Che Luwang thought for a while and thought there would be no problem. "After this game, I'll go see Wang Yin."
After a while, before the game was over, Wang Yin called again, asking if Che Luwang had left.
At this time, even Li Wanmao felt that something was not right.
"Awang, don't go see Wang Tiemu yet." Li Wanmao frowned and said, "Is there something urgent that I need to urge you on like a ghost?"
"Then I'll go see Wang Yin and have a word with her." Che Luwang didn't think Wang Tiemu would have any problems. The most important thing was that he had just fallen in love with Wang Yin, and when they were officially in love, he was worried that he would not go to the appointment. Wang Yin will be angry because he and Wang Yin haven't seen each other for several days and miss her very much.
Everyone could not persuade him, and Li Wanmao had no evidence that there was something wrong with Wang Ironmu. He thought about it, although the relationship between Wang Ironmu and the bureau chief was temporarily tense, but a military leader like Wang Ironmu would not rebel just because of this matter.
In this case, Che Luwang changed into clean and decent clothes and went to the appointment happily. Frankfurter Sausage Shop.
This is a sausage shop run by Germans.
According to what Wang Yin said on the phone, the two made an appointment to meet here, and then the young couple went to visit Wang Tiemu together.
Che Luwang had just arrived at the door of the sausage shop and was about to open the door and enter.
Just met a man's eyes.
The man stared at him up and down.
Che Luwang's heart thumped, and he turned around and left.
The man shouted, and four more people came around, intending to kidnap Che Luwang out of the French Concession.
Che Luwang was originally Dai Chunfeng's personal bodyguard, and was a well-known killer within the military. He was naturally very skilled. He first ducked to avoid a flying attack. "Go to hell!" Then he kicked a person who was coming at him from the side.
Then he slammed into him with his shoulder and pushed another person over.
Then he ran away, but another person grabbed his coat.
While Che Luwang was struggling with this person, she shouted loudly, "Kidnappers kidnap!"
Hou Bao and several police officers were patrolling the streets.
Several people are a little lazy. Today is the French Bastille Day. According to the past management, today's patrol room will have a holiday. Except for those who must be on duty, everyone can take a day off. But now because of the "clean street" Action, I had to work overtime to patrol the streets.
"Boss, someone is calling for help." A patrol officer said.
