Fan Keqin has not been idle these days, figuring out Lu Shi's living conditions at this time. He now lives with his sister and brother-in-law. This alone basically rules out the possibility that he has a problem.
Soon, through He Jin's contact, the date set by Fan Keqin was reached. When I got off work in the evening, I drove directly to the entrance of Xinhua Hotel. After parking my car, I entered the reserved box.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw He Jin talking with a man about thirty years old inside. Fan Keqin had seen this man's appearance in the files, and he was definitely Lu Shi.
After He Jin and Lu Shi saw Fan Keqin, they immediately stood up and came over and said, "Xiao Lu, come on, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Fan who invited you here." Maybe they didn't know Fan Keqin. Keqin didn't need to hide his identity, so He Jin just called him Mr. Fan.
"Mr. Fan!" Lu Shi also stood aside and nodded politely towards Fan Keqin.
He Jin then looked at Fan Keqin and said, "Sir, I brought Xiao Lu to you. I must give you a chance in two days to treat you properly."
Fan Keqin immediately smiled and said: "You're welcome, I'll treat you in two days. I haven't had much to do at night recently, so just wait for my call."
"Hey, okay." He Jin also smiled and said, "Then I'm looking forward to your call." As he spoke, he picked up the briefcase next to him and said, "I'll go back first and have some official business to deal with. You two have something to do." Talk slowly.”
Seeing He entering and exiting the box door, Fan Keqin turned around and looked at Lu Shi. Well, just like the information, he was about 1.8 meters tall and had a slim build. Judging from the clothes he was wearing at the moment, he should be paying more attention to this meeting. There is a shirt and vest, and a beige long windbreaker on top, but it is draped on the back of the chair next to him.
Seeing this, Fan Keqin stretched out his hand and said: "Let me introduce you again, Fan Keqin, the newly appointed director of the Hong Kong Security Investigation Office by the Security Bureau."
Lu Shi was slightly startled, but his reaction was not slow. He shook hands with Fan Keqin and said, "I, Lu Shi, am now... considered a private detective."
"I know." Fan Keqin said, "You probably haven't eaten yet at this time. Let's eat something together."
As a result, before Fan Keqin could ring the bell next to him to call the waiter, there was a knock on the door, saying: "Sir, Mr. He has ordered the dishes to be taken out. Can you come in?"
"Come in." Fan Keqin replied. The door was pushed open from the outside, and it turned out to be a waiter. He first put two cold dishes on the table, and then brought half a dozen beers and a bottle of Dukang old wine, and then withdrew.
This is not surprising. If He Jin hadn't arranged it, his bodyguards secretly distributed inside and outside the hotel would not have let them in.
Let's wait until the dishes are served. Fan Keqin did not get straight to the point. Instead, he asked about Lu Shi's family situation and how his English was. He even had a few conversations with Lu Shi in his half-baked English.
Sure enough, Lu Shi's English accent had a bit of a London accent, but it was true that he was not very proficient. This is quite consistent with the situation in his information. If a person who can only say hello and speak a few words of conversation is thrown into London for more than half a year, if he has the perseverance, it is actually not a problem to learn basic spoken English, but it is impossible to master it.
In addition, he learned it in the big environment of London, although it is impossible for him to have an authentic London accent like the old Londoners. But after all, he learned it hard there, and the people he usually interacts with must be Londoners, so naturally he will have some London flavor.
Just like many foreigners came to China in later generations, if they lived in the three northeastern provinces of Heilongjiang, Jilin, and Liaoning, they would naturally speak with a Northeastern flavor. If you live in Guangzhou for a long time, you will definitely speak Cantonese Mandarin. The same principle holds true in reverse.
In fact, Lu Shi was forced to live in the UK for more than half a year, and the English he was forced to speak was much better than Fan Keqin. But this does not hinder Fan Keqin's proficiency in understanding the other party's English. After all, we are all in Europe. I have lived and studied in Germany for a long time and have met many British people.
Listening to Lu Shi’s English accent, proficiency and other issues. Fan Keqin was even more relieved, it was in line with the situation written in the file information.
When the waiter brought the dishes, Fan Keqin began to directly clarify the topic, saying: "I have just introduced that the Security Bureau plans to secretly set up an investigation office in Hong Kong, with me as the director. But now everything is new, and I am in The Security Bureau has other jobs, so I want you to come and work in the Security Bureau. There is no need to go to Hong Kong in the near future. It’s hard to say in the future. I see that you signed up for the police station, so you don’t plan to work in the private sector. Let’s be a detective.”
Lu Shi paused slightly and said: "Sir Xie is interested in me. I have done police work before. Although I have not been exposed to this line of work, I know the rules of this line of work. So I would like to ask, sir, if I When you join the Security Bureau, is it a formal appointment or... a peripheral member?"
Fan Keqin liked the fact that the other party asked straightforwardly, which meant that once the other party agreed, he would definitely take the corresponding responsibility. So he answered directly and said: "To be precise, it should be a secret recruitment. As I just said, the investigation office established by the Security Bureau in Hong Kong was also secretly established. You must know that it is an occupied area now. Even if we fight in the future If the little devil escapes, it is also a concession for the Yinggualan people. It cannot be made public either.
But not an official member of the Security Service? I can tell you, of course it is. It's not peripheral. Especially you, I now plan to make you my liaison officer, a position that is impossible for peripheral members to hold. In addition, a certain amount of counter-reconnaissance capabilities are required, so I found you. "
Lu Shi nodded and said without delay: "Of course I am willing to take the humble position. I also want to thank you for your kindness, sir."
"Okay." Fan Keqin smiled and said, "I will complete all the entry procedures. But you must also know the meaning of secret entry and secret establishment."
"Yes." Lu Shi said: "In a humble position, one knows how to measure oneself."
Fan Keqin said: "I'll give you a few ways to contact me. The first one is to call me..." He had already considered a whole set of contact methods before. At this time, after Lu Shi agreed, he naturally told him directly.
Lu Shi repeated it, indicating that he remembered it, and then asked: "As for the next step of the humble post, please give instructions, sir."
"There is no rush." Fan Keqin said: "Your files, to be precise, the files belonging to all agents of the Investigation Office will be stored separately in the archives room of the Security Bureau headquarters..."
