In the study, Lu Ming looked at the documents on the table and tapped his fingers lightly on the table.
According to the document from headquarters, the Privy Council and the Cabinet have decided to establish a joint investigation bureau, which will be composed of several departments of the First Control and the Special Operations Office of the Ministry of Justice. The Deputy Chief of the First Control, General Dönitz, will retire from active service and will no longer serve as a defense official. Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Finance and concurrently Director of the General Bureau of Joint Investigation.
In other words, although the Joint Investigation Bureau was placed under the name of the First Controller, people took the opportunity to dilute the military character of the First Controller.
If this continues, in the end, the first control unit may turn into the Joint Investigation Bureau, an ordinary government agency under the control of the cabinet.
Lu Ming shook his head. If General Augustus didn't compromise like this, it would be difficult to establish a new department.
However, although from the highest level, the first control was once again secretly poked and weakened its original authority, but for me, in the Gede area, I finally gained a special kind of power.
The Gede area is among the first batch of lists to be established with a joint investigation branch.
Because the Gede area is a special administrative region, the branch has a higher status than other areas and is called a joint investigation committee.
After being appointed as the commissioner, he will work with the two deputy commissioners to establish the framework of the joint investigation committee.
As for the responsibilities of the committee, you can know it by looking at the organizational structure of the department, such as the Anti-Corruption Bureau, the Organized Crime Investigation Bureau, etc.
James, one of the two deputy commissioners, was the former director of the Gade Regional Anti-Corruption Bureau, which was now merged.
The Organized Crime Bureau will also absorb relevant departments from regional police stations.
Another deputy commissioner, Cook, was his old subordinate in the Western Regions and the deputy commander of the Military Police Regiment in the Western Regions.
The appendix after the document is the number of civil servants approved by each department of the Joint Commission.
The phone rang at this time.
Lu Ming picked up, and a rich male voice spoke on the phone, "Commissioner Bit? I'm James Johnson. Do you have time now? Let's meet and chat?"
Lu Ming smiled and said: "Deputy Commissioner Cook's train will arrive at Gil in the evening. Let's pick him up at the station and talk together then."
"Okay!" James agreed happily.
…
Seeing his old boss again, Cook excitedly gave Lu Ming a big bear hug on the train platform.
and James, the two shook hands politely and exchanged greetings.
James is a handsome middle-aged man in his forties. As a member of the Rose Party Party Committee of the Gade Special Administrative Region, he has been engaged in party affairs. Obviously, he and Cook and Lu Ming can't get along with each other. Lu Ming and Cook recalled the past. Years later, when we talked about the army and the war, James just smiled and listened.
Over dessert after dinner, the three discussed who would be responsible for each department of the committee.
There are two bureaus under the Commission, namely the Anti-Corruption Bureau and the Organized Crime Investigation Bureau, and the other departments are "divisions".
James is also the director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau, and Cook is also the director of the Organized Crime Investigation Bureau.
The three of them discussed the candidates for the top positions in each department.
In the Commissioner's Office, Lu Ming nominated Davit as his office director, and both deputy commissioners had no objections.
James had no objections to the directors and directors of the various departments, but when it came to selecting the director of the General Affairs Office, James recommended Eric Kuder.
"Eric?" Lu Ming smiled slightly.
James said: "Yes, Eric is the mayor of Queens, a very capable person."
"I'm investigating him!" Lu Ming looked at James with a smile.
James smiled and said: "He is a talent, but sometimes he does things harshly and easily offends people. If not, I will introduce him to you, Commissioner? If there is any misunderstanding, can you talk about it?" He then said: "In the Gaide District , I personally think that the first control still needs to cooperate closely with the Rose Party, otherwise, I am afraid that our joint investigation committee will not be able to accomplish anything."
Lu Ming nodded: "I'll think about it. Anyway, not all of the people we recommend will be approved. There will definitely be people who come by air."
"Secret Service, I want to see the information on every member of this department." James said again.
The special services of the local FBI bureaus are directly merged with the special services of the first control branch of each locality.
Therefore, it is difficult to say whether this joint debugging system is an extension of the first control power or another cessation of territory.
Lu Ming smiled: "There is no need to discuss the first officer of the committee directly under the Secret Service."
Director of the Special Service Division, Peide was recommended by Lu Ming, and Deputy Director, Durant was recommended.
"Okay." James didn't insist.
…
In the evening, Inland Ming made a few calls in the study and was about to get up and leave when the study door was lightly knocked. Kunpeng said: "General, your goddaughter Eunice is here!"
Lu Ming was slightly startled and responded.
The door was pushed open, and a beautiful girl with long pink hair like a Barbie doll walked in. She had a very rebellious temperament, a delicate face, a slim and straight snow-white nose with a charming silver nose stud, and a black school uniform and a white shirt. , a long and beautiful orange tie, a black and red plaid uniform skirt, lace little white socks on the soft ankles forming a cute rose lace, lace-up little black lolita leather shoes, the girl is beautiful and rebellious, and has a androgynous feel beautiful.
She is Scarlett's brother's daughter Eunice, the oldest of the third generation girls in the family.
"Father." Eunice stroked her chest slightly and bowed, which is the etiquette of Gaede believers towards their godfather in formal occasions. "Father" is a written word in Gaede language, with a very solemn semantics. When a real father and daughter talk, it is not There are actually very few people who would use this title in spoken language. The godfather is only called this way in church and other occasions.
Lu Ming nodded. Such a rebellious girl was so courageous that she dared to come to see him alone.
After thinking for a while, he said "Oh" and said, "Tell your younger brothers and sisters about school. Don't worry. I will take care of it tomorrow."
Then I remembered that it was St. George's Primary School that refused to admit Ged people, so Davitt went to do it, but the principal sneered at the idea of primary control.
"Father, I don't want to go to school." Eunice looked directly at Lu Ming with her green eyes, not at all the kind of trembling people in her family.
Lu Ming was stunned for a moment and said, "We'll talk tomorrow. I have something to do now." As he spoke, he walked out.
"Where are you going?" Eunice followed two steps behind.
"Gaston Building!" Lu Ming opened the study door.
But Eunice followed him: "Father, can I go with you?"
Lu Ming stopped and looked at her in surprise.
Eunice smiled, her smile was beautiful, but there was a hint of sadness, "I heard that that is where our tribe should end up. When I was a child, my mother scared me and said that if I didn't obey, she would send me to Geis." Come on, our family should have been there, right? It was my aunt who sacrificed herself so that we had a house to live in and bread to eat, right?"
Lu Ming looked at her, sighed softly in his heart, and said: "Let's talk when I come back. Today is destined to be a night of bloodshed there, so don't go. In addition, I bought Gaston and it will get better and better." of."
Eunice smiled, her blue eyes filled with sadness, "Father, I have seen my people beaten to death, so I have nothing to fear."
Lu Ming waved his hand and said, "We'll talk about it when we get back." He turned around and left.
Unexpectedly, Eunice trotted to catch up, and reached out to grab the corner of Lu Ming's clothes. She followed Lu Ming and said, "Father, I have wanted to go to Gaston for a long, long time. Please take me with you, okay?" ?As long as my father is here, I won’t be harmed, right?”
Lu Ming glanced helplessly at this sad and gloomy little girl. She must be afraid of him, but she mustered up a lot of courage to pester him like this, hoping to win her love and gain some sense of security. , it may be the first time she has met a "father" who may bring her safety since she was a child. After all, in the Gaede religion, the identity of "godfather" is very solemn and sacred.
Of course, it's possible that she has other little thoughts that I can't understand for the time being. Without her experiences growing up, it would be difficult to understand her inner thoughts.
This was the first time that someone pestered me like this. Even Bisi when she was a child didn't do this, and she didn't dare to do it, let alone others. This made me feel very strange.
"Then feel free!" Lu Ming nodded.
Eunice whispered: "Thank you, father!" Her little hands tightened on Lu Ming's sleeves and followed Lu Ming closely.
…
It was still the same room on the first floor of the Gaston Building, but Ruben, the leader of the Crocodile Gang, was no longer there.
In front of Lu Ming were White, the boss of the Sickle Party, Xibulun, the boss of the Nine-Nine Gang, Jacob, the boss of the five Jacob brothers, and Harry Berg, the boss of the gold company.
But it was different from the last time they met. Except for Jacob, the other three people looked nonchalant.
Especially Xibulun, the boss of the Jiujiu Gang, looked at Lu Ming with disdain, whistled to Eunice next to Lu Ming, and said with a smile: "This little beauty, General, keep her, I promise to earn you a lot of money." One hundred thousand!"
This time, Kunpeng stayed outside the room because Zebulun strongly objected, saying that if Kunpeng wanted to participate in the secret meeting, his brothers would also follow.
Apparently Kunpeng killed Ruben last time, which made them wary.
Except for Jacob, the other two people probably had the same idea, but since Zebulun jumped out to object, the other two remained silent.
And Jacob had already met Lu Ming secretly.
In this way, Lu Ming left Kunpeng outside.
Eunice must follow up and take a look at the situation inside the Gaston Building, and Lu Ming has no objection. The serious psychological trauma this little girl has suffered cannot be evaluated by girls of the same age.
, seeing the blood of the "bad guys" is not necessarily a bad thing.
And because Lu Ming brought Eunice with him, obviously Xibulun and others didn't think anything unexpected would happen today.
Along the way, many homeless people in the building whistled at Eunice.
Now listening to Zebulun's whistle again, Lu Ming looked at him and said calmly: "Zebrun, you guys from the Jiujiu Gang kidnapped her cousin a few days ago. What do you have to say? You should obviously know that she My cousin’s mother and I are very close.”
Zebulun smiled and said: "Then I will make out with this little girl, general, and our relationship will take a further step." He said with a lewd smile.
Lu Ming couldn't help but laugh. Naturally, no one really took a person like Zebulun seriously. Eric didn't contact him directly, but had an intermediary. Naturally, no one would inform him that he was in the Gede area now. changes occurred.
While Lu Ming smiled, he suddenly reached out and covered Eunice's eyes with his other hand.
Zebulun suddenly covered his throat and staggered back. Blood was dripping from the fingers holding his throat.
Lu Ming said in Eunice's ear: "Close your eyes and don't open them."
He took a few steps forward, drew out his dagger, and cut off Zebulun's head so that no one would notice the bloody hole in his throat.
In the secret files of the First Control, the blood of many department heads who were killed in the New Fornia Hotel in the Western Region is still there, and the bloody holes in the throats are close-ups.
Lu Ming threw the head to White, "I don't want to see the Jiujiu Gang again. It's you who will do it, or my people."
Cutting off people's heads also has the meaning of deterrence.
Seeing Lu Ming with blood all over his body, White, Jacob and Halliberg were all shocked.
Even Jacob, although he met Lu Ming alone, was told by the general that a special agency would be established soon to control the gangs. He was also informed by the general of today's plan. The Nine-Nine Gang would be exterminate.
But I never expected that it would start like this.
This general was even more perverted than a gangster. He killed people and cut off their heads.
White had just pulled out his gun, but immediately found that Jacob's dark muzzle was pointed at him.
As for Halliburg, he was the most timid. Originally, the Gold Company was only about petty theft and fraud, and rarely saw blood, so he was even more frightened and dared not move.
"General, I promise that after today, the Nine-Nine Gang will no longer exist!" White instantly realized that this was the last chance given to him by General Bit. If his people didn't take action, then the Sickle Party and the Nine-Nine Gang would do it today. It's the same fate - destruction.
Judging from Jacob's defection, General Bute has obviously arranged everything.
Lu Ming took off his bloody coat and threw it aside. At the same time, he wiped the blood on his hands with a snow-white handkerchief. At this time, he looked at his watch and said to White: "I will give you one hour, otherwise, my people will come in and clear the place." .”
"Yes, yes!" White turned around and hurried out, even forgetting that he was still holding Zebulun's head.
Lu Ming pointed at the headless corpse on the ground, and then at Eunice, who was leaning on her back with her eyes closed.
Harry Berg was so blessed that he kept saying, "I'll clean it up, I'll clean it up." He looked around, then pulled the sheets off the bed and covered the headless body.
"Eunice, open your eyes, it's okay!" Lu Ming said with a smile, and then said to Jacob: "I'll go out and wait! Just do as I say."
Among these gangsters, only the five Jacob brothers are relatively good and have a certain bottom line.
Over there, Jacob nodded slightly.
…
In the assault vehicle outside the Gaston Building, Lu Ming slowly lit a cigarette. Eunice sat next to him, looking at the dark Gaston Building with no lights from the car window in a daze.
Faintly, the occasional gunshots ringing out in the Gaston Building could be heard.
"Father, after you finish your work, can I have a few words with my peers here?" Eunice asked suddenly.
Lu Ming nodded: "Whatever."
"Thank you, father." Eunice's two little hands gently hugged Lu Ming's arm again, as if only in this way did she feel that she was safe.
