Chapter 277.

Sell the paper, sell the paper!

There was a gunfight on Four Horse Path last night, three dead and two injured!

The Anti-Japanese and Traitor Killing Corps is on the move!!!! ……

Such a conspicuous headline sent Cheng Mo’s assassination to the front page, really admiring the information channels of these journalists, the case only happened in a few hours, still at night, how did they know the news.

Reporters are one of the species with the most sensitive sense of smell in this world.

Tossing and turning for half the night, Cheng Mo and Su Moer returned home, lying down it was already two o’clock in the middle of the night, although Su Moer had also experienced the war.

Although Su Moer has been through war before, there is a difference between a hospital in the rear and a battlefield where bullets fly against your scalp.

Cheng Mo has long been accustomed to, but Su Moer is still a little uncomfortable.

Especially if she is a woman.

Born timid, can not ask her to be the same as men.

So, nestled in the crook of his arm, the whole person curled up in the embrace, so that she felt safe and could sleep.

The hospital took a day off, and she can’t go to work in this state, not to mention, there will definitely be reporters outside the hospital door, and when the time comes, she hasn’t encountered such a situation, how should she cope? Cheng Mo, originally also wanted to take leave to stay home with her, but, early in the morning, Xu Qinghe came over.

“Chief, sorry, I do not want to, but Ba’s order, I do not dare not come, your home and did not install a phone ……” Xu Qinghe apologized vigorously.

“It’s okay, have you eaten breakfast?”

“Ate.”

“This way, you help me go buy some breakfast, I’ll wash up and follow you over.” Cheng Mo took the money and ordered.

“Chief, what does Dr. Su usually like to eat in the morning?” Xu Qinghe took the money and asked.

“Give her some shengjian and soymilk, for me, doughnuts or buns will do, you buy it as you see fit, we’re not picky eaters.” Cheng Mo had only slept for more than four hours this night, he was still sleepy, and yawned.

“Alright, I’ll go now.” Xu Qinghe nodded.

“Ah Mo……” Su Moer opened her eyes and saw that Cheng Mo wasn’t there, she instantly became a little nervous, thinking that she was still in the car.

“I’m in.”

Cheng Mo heartbreakingly came over and picked Su Moer up and sat up.

“Ah Mo, I dreamed that we were shot at, you shed a lot of blood, I am so afraid ……” Su Moer tightly hugged Cheng Mo and did not let go.

“It’s okay, it’s all in the past, you said you’ve also experienced the battlefield, why are you still so fragile?” Cheng Mo gently patted Su Moer’s back and comforted her.

“That can be different, I have seen bullets flying over my head, and the way those people hold guns and shoot at you, it’s too scary!”

“Regret marrying me?” Cheng Mo asked.

“No.”

“Thanks.” Cheng Mo said gratefully, “Xu Qinghe came over, Mr. Ba is looking for me, I would have liked to take time off to stay home with you, now I have to go over there, I asked him to buy breakfast for you, you will eat in a while and then sleep, you don’t have to go over to Xiaoya’s side, I’ll turn around and arrange for ordering for her to be sent over.”

“What about me?”

“Same for you, I’ll have that Plum Garden Restaurant make you a three-dish meal and a soup and send it over, you don’t need to do anything, have a good rest.”

“Uhm, Ah Mo, you’re so nice.” Su Mo Er gave a petite and naive cry.

“Alright, no more being mushy, I have to go out and wash my face and brush my teeth.”

After Cheng Mo finished brushing his teeth and washing his face, Xu Qinghe also bought breakfast and came back, and also gave Cheng Mo the money he found.

“Sit down and have some?” Cheng Mo sent Su Moer’s share upstairs, then came down and greeted Xu Qinghe.

“No, boss, I’ve really eaten.” Xu Qinghe hurriedly waved his hand and said.

“Then I won’t be polite.” Cheng Mo was really hungry, although he only fired five shots last night, but the consumption was not small, and from that moment until now, apart from drinking water, the food was not eaten at all, naturally, he was starving.

“Chief, is what happened last night true?” Xu Qinghe asked cautiously.

“What matter, you mean the matter of me being assassinated on the street?” Cheng Mo was still in the middle of launching an attack on his food, he didn’t react for a moment and immediately asked again.

“Well, it’s all been reported today, you don’t know?”

“Just report it, didn’t mention my name, right?”

“How can that be, just about to give you resume to all published in the newspaper ……,” Xu Qinghe said euphemistically.

“Which newspaper, send it a lawyer’s letter, just say that it violates my privacy, then sue and claim compensation!” Cheng Mo said.

“Don’t kid yourself, this matter has now become a hotspot, now I’m afraid everyone in our patrol room knows about you.”

“What can I do, some things happen, I can’t control them, I can only face them.” “The newspaper said that of those five gunmen, you alone killed three and seriously injured two, is that true?” Xu Qinghe asked again.

“Exaggerated, at that time it was in the vicinity of the Four Roads Patrol Office, Inspector Edgar who was on duty heard the gunshots and arrived at the first time, only then did he save my life and Dr. Su’s life, the gunmen were also really bold, they actually dared to commit a crime in the vicinity of the Tenant District’s Patrol Office, they were really not afraid of death!” Cheng Mo laughed and said in an evasive manner.

Xu Qinghe pondered over it, it seemed to be answered and unanswered, it was not appropriate to pursue it further, so he had to stop talking.

Cheng Mo finished breakfast and went straight out the door with Xu Qinghe.

His car was towed away.

Xu Qinghe had done a fine job and drove a car from the police station over to pick him up, otherwise they would have had to call a car to head over to meet Barrett.

The Ministry of Public Works Bureau building.

Cheng Mo not only met Barrett, there was another Chinese Commissioner, surnamed Yao, and then Special Commissioner Kiyoyuki Akagi was also there.

The top brass of the police department were basically all there, and he also met his immediate superior, Mr. Laubertson, who was in charge of the political unit.

It was a triple trial situation.

Cheng Mo was a bit confused, but he walked in calmly and sat down in front of everyone.

“Inspector Cheng Mo, do you have anything to explain about the shooting that happened last night at the intersection of Henan Road and Fuzhou Road?” Police Commissioner Lao Ba had not yet opened his mouth, but Special Commissioner Akagi Kiyoyuki, who was sitting on the side, was the first to open his mouth.

It clearly smacked of questioning.

“Deputy Commissioner Akagi, I don’t understand what you mean, could it be that I was attacked and the fault is still mine?” Cheng Mo directly disliked back.

“Such a bad case, Inspector Cheng Mo, if it wasn’t caused by your personal grudge, what was it?”

“Deputy Commissioner Akagi, the case hasn’t even been investigated yet, isn’t it a bit early for you to put such a hat on me.” Cheng Mo snorted coldly, “Even if it’s a personal grudge, isn’t attacking a police officer of the Bureau of Public Works not committing a crime and can be left unchallenged?”

“Of course it is committing a crime, but if you bring unpredictable risks to the patrol room because of your personal reasons, I doubt that you will be able to do your current job?”

“Deputy Director Akagi, you’ve been in the police for so many years, you’ve arrested quite a few criminals, right, and there isn’t a single one of them who doesn’t hate you and want to seek revenge on you, if there are also people who want to retaliate against you and carry it out, isn’t it fair to assume that you’re also posing a risk to the patrol room, and are not worthy of your current position?” Cheng Mo cross-examined.

“Public is public, private is private, you can’t mix them up!”

“Then on what basis do you say that my encounter with a gunman this time is a private grudge?” Cheng Mo asked a rhetorical question in a good-natured manner.

“It’s not obvious, if it wasn’t a personal grudge, who would want to put you to death.” Akagi Kiyoyuki directly accused.

“Deputy Director Akagi, tell me instead, what person do I have a personal grudge against that makes people directly want to kill me?” Cheng Mo asked rhetorically.

“You have an irreconcilable conflict with the Qing Gang tycoon Ji Yunqing, this is something known to the world.” Akagi Kiyoyuki said.

“Although I have a grudge against Mr. Ji, it’s not to the point where I have to get rid of the other party, I’m a person who doesn’t offend me, I don’t offend, that’s my principle.”

“Inspector Cheng Mo, we don’t want to have a large-scale conflict incident within the Concession, this is something I hope you understand.” Deputy Director Yao suddenly spoke up.

“Then how do the several chiefs intend to deal with this matter when they called me here?”

“We want you to take a temporary break for a period of time, or leave your job on your own accord.” Deputy Director Yao said.

“Mr. Ba, is this also your intention?” Cheng Mo’s heart chilled, these people actually used such a method to try to drive themselves out of the Bureau of Public Works.

“This matter hasn’t been investigated clearly yet, it’s not appropriate to take the risk of disposing of an Inspector who has made many meritorious achievements to the Inspectorate of the Bureau of Public Works in such a manner, right?” Barrett objected.

Cheng Mo breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, not everyone wanted to let him go.

“I also object.” Seeing that Barrett opened his mouth, Laubertson followed suit, “Cheng is the best detective I’ve seen, his ability is unquestionable, many previous cases were solved through his hands, bringing reputation and appreciation to the patrol room, and he was thus cynically hated by some, which led to things like last night, which wasn’t his fault, and if we have to force away an excellent Inspector, it would be a foolish thing to do!”

Lawson could use idioms, Cheng Mo almost gave him a thumbs up.

This refutation was quite powerful.

This questioning and dismissal, clearly is Akagi Qingzhi forced out, what is worth they have to drive themselves out from the Ministry of Public Works Bureau patrol room?

This was all bare-knuckled, and they actually found such a lousy excuse.

Does Tony Kai Ziwei, the Deputy Chief Director of the Bureau of Public Works, know about this?

“Even if it wasn’t triggered by a personal grudge, I still think that Inspector Cheng Mo is not suitable to stay in his current position, I suggest giving him a vacation or switching his position!” Akagi Kiyoyuki’s attitude was extremely strong.

“Inspector Cheng Mo has just returned from the edge of life and death line, it’s good to take some time off.” Deputy Commissioner Yao actually opened his mouth to concur.

Obviously, this Yao had already been bribed by Akagi Kiyoyuki.

“The end of the year is approaching, the Old Gate Arrest House that Inspector Cheng is in charge of has a lot of affairs, where would one find a familiar person to handle these affairs at a time, besides, Inspector Cheng was not affected by the shooting incident, so why does he need to take a break?” Laubertson refuted.

“I also think that Inspector Cheng is in a good mental state, calm, emotionally stable, and there is nothing wrong with him, besides, he is still one of the best special training team members, with his professionalism, there is no need to adjust and recover at all, and I believe that he will be able to continue to fulfill his duties and do a good job in his job.” Barrett also expressed his support for Cheng Mo.
