Hearing Yao Mu say that he had not obtained any substantive evidence, Qi Qingshan was stunned at first, thinking that Yao Mu was trying to bargain, and couldn't help but look at Fang Lang.
Noticing Qi Qingshan's gaze, Fang Lang smiled slightly, put a piece of rice roll into his mouth to chew, and said vaguely:
"I wonder what Chief Inspector Yao said that needs to be verified?"
Seeing that Fang Lang was finally interested, Yao Mu couldn't help but feel happy and quickly said:
"This time I found Lieutenant Osborne, who was in charge of logistics of the Portuguese garrison in Haojiang, and found a ledger from him, which contained detailed evidence of arms trafficking by Major Holland and a group of Portuguese officers.
But because this evidence covers so many areas, once it is released, it may have a huge impact on the underground arms market in this port city and Haojiang. And it is not conducive to the later development of Hongyi Tang in Haojiang.
So, I used this ledger as a threat to get Osborne to tell some dirty stuff about Major Holland. "
When he heard about arms smuggling, Fang Lang couldn't help but frown. He had seen in later movies and TV shows that arms smuggling often occurred in the port city, and it was also an important turnover port in Southeast Asia.
Unexpectedly, the Portuguese garrison in Haojiang during this period would also be involved. Isn’t this trying to steal business from yourself? It seems that he wants to order his arms company in Brazil to go to the port city and Haojiang to open up the market!
After all, it is still necessary to smuggle weapons and equipment to Southeast Asia through arms smugglers in Haojiang and Gangcheng to fund local national liberation! Moreover, it will be relatively hidden so that no one can find him.
Qi Qingshan frowned slightly after hearing Yao Mu's words. He didn't care whether an arms smuggling ledger would have an impact on the local arms market! What concerned him was whether he could directly kill the Portuguese officer who broke the rules. But now that the account book is in Yao Mu's hands, he can't ask for it directly. He can only follow Yao Mu's thinking:
"So, what Chief Inspector Yao means is that you haven't confirmed the dirty information Osborne told you about Holland, right?"
"Yes, Sir Qi, according to Osborne, this Major Hollander is not only greedy for money, but also lustful. Every Wednesday night, he has a tryst with the wife of the Chief Secretary for Administrative Affairs at Haojiang Hotel.
At the same time, he seemed to be having an affair with the wife of his subordinate, the deputy battalion commander, but these news have not been confirmed yet. "
Yao Mu came here today to report this information, so he didn't mean to hide anything and directly told the news he had learned.
Hearing the news, Fang Lang couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. This Major Holander's original surname was Cao! From this point of view, it seems to be much simpler to deal with the major directly.
Originally, he was worried that directly attacking the Portuguese garrison officers would cause unnecessary trouble. Now aren’t there two ready-made scapegoats?
Instead of handing over the evidence of their smuggling, waiting for the Portuguese military court to try this guy and put him in jail. He still likes to kill the opponent directly, which is simpler and more direct, and can relieve the hatred in his heart.
Now Yao Mu focused on telling him this news, and was obviously planning to make a fuss about it. This made him couldn't help but look Yao Mu up and down, and then said as if he was thinking a little:
"So, do you want to confirm the news, or do you want to spread the news and fish in troubled waters?"
Yao Mu was shocked when he heard this. He didn't expect that this young General Fang would be so sharp. His plan would be seen through so quickly.
"Haha... Nothing can be hidden from General Fang. I think this Major Holland is an officer of the Portuguese garrison. If we attack him rashly, it may be very troublesome.
But now that we have this information, we just need to expose this matter and let everyone know that the Haojiang Auxiliary Secretary and the battalion deputy have a grudge against Major Hollander's wife. If we attack this guy again, no one will think that we are the ones taking revenge. "
Qi Qingshan frowned when he heard this and couldn't help but said:
"Then no one knows that this is Hong Yitang's revenge? How can we frighten Hong Yitang's enemies?"
Hearing Qi Qingshan's words, Fang Lang couldn't help but shake his head. Although this kid has made some progress, it's obviously not enough!
Of course Yao Mu didn't dare to look at Qi Qingshan like this. After hearing his question, he quickly explained:
"Sir Qi, don't worry. As soon as this matter came to light, news came of Major Holland's death. Immediately afterwards, there were rumors that this matter was revenge on Major Holland by people in the Jianghu.
Do you think the Portuguese government believes that this is the revenge of the Jianghu people, or does it believe that this is the revenge of the Colonial Secretary? "
After hearing this, Qi Qingshan thought for a moment and replied:
“The Portuguese government will definitely think in its heart that this is the revenge of the Colonial Secretary, but on the surface, it will treat it as the revenge of the Jianghu people to avoid government scandals.
I understand, in this case, the government will not investigate the Jianghu people in depth, but will only use the Jianghu people as scapegoats. As long as we keep the relationship between the Colonial Secretary's wife and Major Holland within a certain range, everyone will know that this is an act of revenge on our part. "
Seeing that Qi Qingshan finally understood Yao Mu's thoughts, Fang Lang nodded with satisfaction. It seemed that this kid still had the potential to be cultivated.
Fang Lang was very satisfied with Yao Mu's performance. Although he was deliberately taking advantage of the other party from beginning to end, he was still very satisfied with the other party's proactive attitude.
For such a person, Fang Lang felt that it was necessary to give him some reward. Looking at this guy's already gray hair, he knew that he probably didn't have much room for advancement in his official career.
But even if he resigns, he will still have a lot of influence in the black and white circles in Hong Kong City. However, it is definitely unrealistic to continue to have the influence to directly command the police as he does now as Inspector Zonghua. of.
So what can you provide him? Thinking of this, Fang Lang's heart moved.
"Very good! Chief Inspector Yao is indeed a good friend of ours. He silently took the initiative to help us without us even knowing it. This moved me very much.
At the same time, it also allowed me to see the huge influence of Chief Inspector Yao in Hong Kong City and Haojiang. This is exactly what we need.
As far as I know, Inspector Yao seems to be approaching retirement age, right? "
When Yao Mu heard Fang Lang's words, he couldn't help but frown. He knew that people like Fang Lang would not let him work in vain. It seemed that this was going to benefit him.
He quickly suppressed the excitement in his heart, smiled flatteringly at Fang Lang and said:
"I feel ashamed to say that Yao was born at the wrong time and did not get to know a hero like General Fang early. Now he wants to follow General Fang's footsteps, but it is too late. What can be done!"
How could Fang Lang not understand this old boy's little thoughts? He couldn't help but smile slightly and said:
"Chief Inspector Yao is joking, I think you are in your prime of life! It is really a waste of Chief Inspector Yao's talents to retire and go home to take care of yourself at this time.
How about this! After Chief Inspector Yao retires, he will find a job at the Gangcheng Branch of God's Whip Military Contracting Company. What do you think? "
Now Yao Mu has also investigated Fang Lang's background. He cannot say that he fully understands the situation of this legendary military contracting company whose management is composed of generals, but he is by no means completely ignorant.
For example, their company's military operations in Greece were reviewed in detail in the news. From these reports, Yao Mu could discern a lot. This was a military contracting company with a military strength comparable to that of a small country.
Now that such a company has opened a branch in Hong Kong City, it means that there will be a paramilitary company in Hong Kong City. Think about his current status as a detective and why he can gain a firm foothold in Hong Kong City.
Isn't it just because he has rights and a gun?
If you join this company, you may not have the power of the police, but the gun will still be there, and the power of the gun will also be greatly improved, from the current small revolver to a light and heavy machine gun, or even a tank cannon.
When the time comes, no one in the police or social groups will dare to deny him face because of his retirement.
Thinking of Yao Mu here, he just felt like he was floating. He had always been reluctant to retire, but now he feels that there is nothing wrong with it. He looked at Fang Lang with a surprised look on his face and asked:
"Really? General Fang doesn't mind my age?"
Hearing this, Fang Lang smiled slightly, picked up the soy milk on the table, took a sip and said:
"For those who are capable, age is not a problem at all. Moreover, God's Whip Company has just entered the port city, and it does need an influential local partner to promote the company's business.
I think Chief Inspector Yao is a very suitable candidate! "
When Qi Qingshan heard this, he glanced at Fang Lang in surprise. This arrangement really surprised him. After all, it turned out that Fang Lang had never told him that he would give Yao Mu such a big benefit.
However, when I thought about it again, this arrangement made by my boss was really a stroke of genius. The God's Whip Hong Kong Branch has been different from other branches from the beginning. Its main focus is no longer purely military, but rather security-focused.
Yao Mu has a natural advantage in this regard. With this guy here, the company's development will definitely be faster.
Yao Mu was ecstatic at the moment. He never thought that he would have such a big gain. At this moment, he felt that everything he had paid was in vain.
"Thank you General Fang for your recognition. I, Yao, am very honored.
General Fang, please rest assured that the matter regarding Major Holland will be taken care of by me. "
Hearing Yao Mu's words, Fang Lang was even more satisfied. It has to be said that this old fox is really very sensible. Before he said it clearly, he had already understood his hidden meaning and took the initiative to solve the problem of Major Holland. .
This can also be regarded as a test of his ability. If Yao Mu can successfully solve this matter, Fang Lang can arrange a suitable position for him at the God's Whip Port City Branch.
If his performance is not satisfactory, it will only provide a retirement position. On this point, I think Yao Mu also knew it very well, otherwise he would not have been able to take on this dirty job so proactively.
Qi Qingshan also understood Fang Lang's meaning at this time, and said quickly and smartly:
"Boss, let's leave this matter to Brazil Hongyi Tang! After all, this is their own shame, and they have to wash it off with their own hands in order to get revenge!"
When Yao Mu heard this, he immediately became anxious. This was a good opportunity for him to perform. If he just gave it away, how could he prove his ability? I just wanted to open my mouth and fight for it.
Fang Lang had already raised his hand to stop him and said:
"Since they have already failed once, they shouldn't be embarrassed again. They can't even do it in a big place like Haojiang. If Chief Inspector Yao hadn't told us about it, we would still be in the dark!
Besides, Chief Inspector Yao can be considered one of our own, so there is no need to distinguish him too clearly. Since Chief Inspector Yao has volunteered, let him handle this matter! "
When Qi Qingshan heard this, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Yao Mu.
Yao Mu was overjoyed and quickly said:
"Yes! Sir Qi, we are all our own people from now on. Please give the old man a chance to show off."
Seeing this, Qi Qingshan glanced back and forth at Yao Mu, then turned back to Fang Lang and said slowly:
"Yes, boss!"
This kind of look fell in Yao Mu's eyes, and it was obvious that he doubted his ability! Seeing this, he quickly said:
"General Fang and Chief Qi, please rest assured. I, Mr. Yao, am not trying to overstep my way to stand up for Hong Yitang. In fact, I have a natural advantage in Haojiang, and it is more convenient for me to take action than Hong Yitang.
Lieutenant Osborne, the Portuguese officer who provided me with this information this time, is now completely under my control. I not only have his arms sales ledger, but also his confession of espionage and his handwriting. Information about the Portuguese troops stationed in Haojiang.
He is now my chess piece. If I take any action, he will definitely cooperate fully. This is much safer than Hong Yitang making a rash move again. "
Hearing this, Fang Lang and Qi Qingshan were both stunned. They didn't expect that espionage activities were involved. Seeing Fang Lang's eyes, Qi Qingshan quickly said to Yao Mu:
"What's the situation? Why is it related to spies? This kind of thing is no joke. Don't play with fire and burn yourself."
"Haha... There is no such thing as a spy. This is just a surrender letter handed over by Lieutenant Osborne in order to save his life. His selling of arms is true, but his espionage behavior is false.
The information he wrote down was nothing more than a handle specially left for me. "
When Yao Mu heard Qi Qingshan's words, he laughed and explained quickly.
Upon hearing this, Qi Qingshan glanced at Fang Lang calmly, then turned to Yao Mu and said:
"Are you sure he is really not a spy?"
"Make sure, he is definitely not a spy."
"Is the military information he provided you accurate?"
"I haven't verified this, and I don't have any use for his information, so I haven't verified it either."
At this time, Fang Lang said calmly from the side:
"Since Chief Inspector Yao has such a chess piece in Haojiang, I can rest assured that this matter will be left to you."
Hearing this, Qi Qingshan seemed to want to say more, but when he saw Fang Lang talking, he couldn't continue.
An old fox like Yao Mu could naturally see Qi Qingshan's distrust at a glance. He understood what Qi Qingshan's scruples were after a moment's thought, and quickly said:
"I really don't know much about spies. I wonder if you can ask Commander Qi to help me check and verify the situation of Lieutenant Osborne.
Lest I be deceived by him and cause unnecessary trouble. "
