Chapter 41

There is a difference between plainclothes and military uniforms, plainclothes like him, directly appointed, while military uniforms need to be examined, but also have a three-month training to officially become a patrolman.

Plainclothes patrol and uniformed patrol work different division of labor, treatment is also a world of difference, dry plainclothes, either have the background, or have real skills.

Mainly a dry brain, a physical, plainclothes have the need to time, only will patrol, while the uniform is mainly dry patrol and duty guards and so on.

Uniformed only promoted patrol chief or sheriff only have some freedom, plainclothes sub-detective, agent and detective, detective up there is the chief detective, generally only Chinese arrests have the chief Chinese detective, this is already the highest position of the Chinese arrests.

There is also the Bao Da Jie outside the detective, Bao Da Jie is an informant, is the police station to get money, but not subordinate to the police station.

Cheng Mo is relying on strong relations into, all of a sudden to do detective certainly not, at least from the detective to start, the starting point is considered very high.

The old police station is divided into law and order, criminal and political three units, a total of five detectives (sheriffs, inspectors), three Westerners, two Chinese, there is also a Chief Chinese Detective above, surnamed You.

In addition, the Traffic Unit is under the responsibility of the Indian police, so the Indian police have the right to check the licenses of yellow buses as well as being responsible for traffic control, which is equivalent to a separate traffic police department.

Cases involving Westerners are handled by two Western detectives, while cases involving Chinese and Japanese are handled by Chinese detectives.

Among the Western detectives, one is American, one is British, one is Russian, and the two Chinese detectives are surnamed Cheng and Lu.

Security and Criminal are one Westerner and one Chinese.

The political unit had only one Western detective.

After all, the British didn’t want any infighting or human conflict in the core area of the Concession, everyone was here to make money.

Recently, there have been more and more clashes between the Japanese and the Chinese, and there have been a number of robberies and assassinations, not to mention the Old Gates Constabulary, the entire Public Concession is in a rather tense atmosphere.

Of course, there are very few Japanese who still dare to operate in the Public Concession, but what most of them do, in fact, we all know very well.

But now the Ministry of Public Works Bureau does not dare to offend the Japanese, in case these red-eyed maniacs really looking for trouble, the British Empire’s interests in the Far East will be greatly damaged.

But also can not be too biased in favor of the Japanese, when the Chinese in the Concession to make trouble, they can not eat …….

They can’t afford to mess with the Youth Gang.

Anyway, now is the two sides are not offended, try to reconcile the balance between the two sides, for the Japanese requirements, try to meet, for the weak Chinese side as much as possible to maintain.

This kind of thing, can not take the initiative to the front that is the best, it is best to leave the Chinese people to deal with.

In China for many years, the British are also well versed in the way of dumping and balancing.

Pryde is the head of the political unit, mainly responsible for the intelligence of the old gates, as well as cases involving Japan and the Bureau of Public Works liaison and negotiation with Japan.

In addition to Cheng Mo, the newest detective, Pryde had one detective, two agents, and a professional Japanese interpreter under his command.

Of course, there are a number of plainclothes, the bottom of these work, as for the bagman, this needs to be the agent’s own development, each agent has their own familiar bagman, that is, the information channels, the agent to make a success in solving the case, often rely on these bagman.

It’s not easy to find a suitable and reliable informer, at least Cheng Mo doesn’t have a suitable person to do this under his command.

The first day on the job was to familiarize himself with the headcount and the process of handling cases, and Pryde didn’t expect him to make much of a commotion for him at once.

General Westerner cases, as long as they didn’t involve spies, were handled by the American detective Lawrence, while general Japanese cases, such as lost items, thefts, and clashes, didn’t require York’s presence, and the most they could do was to send an agent with an interpreter.

In dealing with these types of cases, Pryde’s authority as a detective team would be so great that even the detective of the Chinese detective in charge of receiving the police would have to follow orders. After introducing Cheng Mo, Pryde left the police station directly. Although he worked in the police station at the Old Gate, he had a lot of work to do, so he couldn’t stay there all the time, and he was also responsible for negotiating with the Japanese. The police work in Hongkou and the concession north of the Suzhou River had been forcibly taken over by the Japanese, and the Bureau of Public Works had been communicating and negotiating with the Japanese, and that was his main work now.

Responsible for bringing Cheng Mo, the newcomer is the detective surnamed Lin, he is also in the gang, worshipped under Mr. Du, one of the four great King Kong Gao Xinbao, if on the seniority, than Cheng Mo to be two levels lower.

No process of silence is also embarrassed in front of others to fill the eldest, after all, these days or rely on strength to speak, Mr. Du seniority is not as good as Huang Jinrong, but he and Huang Jinrong is not also a brother of worship?

Gao Xin Bao’s Lido cabaret in Shanghai Bund is also very famous, compared to the Paramount, Xanax is also not bad, the day into the bucket of gold is not too much.

Lin Huarong service old gate catch room also have years, belong to the old oil type, see who is a smiling face, looks harmless.

But in reality, this kind of person is the most important thing to watch out for, the other two agents are not at home, Cheng Mo did not see.

All are plainclothes agents, have autonomy, and not necessarily have to go to the arrest room to answer the dawn, as long as the need for people in the time on the line.

That chief Chinese detective You Agen perennial claimed to be sick at home, who said what?

The water of the arrest room is very deep, Cheng Mo has long had this psychological preparation, so, as a newcomer, he is also a smiling face, the smoke of the smoke, the bow bow bow, and then listen to more, see more, do not express an opinion, have to say, that is to say some beautiful words without nutrition.

So, Cheng Mo the first day to work in the old gate arrest room, got a “will come to things” praise, but in the eyes of some people, he is typical of this kind of “small slippery”.

Thought the new in is a rash, the result came a slippery black loach.

Young people are not too good to cheat ah, Lin Huarong on Cheng Mo lost interest, simply take him to go through the scene, and then arranged for him to do the work, and then on the pretext of busy themselves with the case to go.

Said to do the case, in fact, is to go to the Grand View Garden bathroom bath to go.

Cheng Mo, familiarize yourself with the office environment, to the noon time, went to a short distance away from the Su Gang, the long-established noodle shop Tak Hing Hall to eat a bowl of noodles.

I ran into quite a few faces that I just recognized from the old gate catchers, and it seems that they often come over here to eat as well.

Lunch break, others are looking for a place to squint for a while, Cheng Mo is looking at some of the materials of the old gate arrest room, as well as the previous political unit to handle the case files, to see how these rentals in the end how to handle the case of the police officers, which in the past, all the files in English, it is really impossible to see, and now good luck in the increase of the Chinese translation, so a lot better.

But interspersed with a lot of English material, for the English is not very good Cheng Mo, there is really quite a big obstacle, see is dizzy.

Some things can be seen from the results of the disposition of the case, the Chinese in the tenant world in what kind of a position.

After reading it, it can make you want to storm out in anger, but there’s no way, at the moment, you have to endure, and also have to adapt to his way of disposal.

For example, a Japanese man was involved in a car accident on the road, obviously he did not see it, hit someone, but insisted that someone else hit him, and because the other person is a Chinese pulling a yellow cart, the end result is that the Chinese people were sentenced to pay for damages, the yellow cart was sold to cover the debt, the cart driver lost his job and lost his family’s source of income.

The Japanese lost his wallet, falsely accused the Chinese of stealing it, eventually found it, it wasn’t the Chinese at all, and then the Japanese didn’t even apologize, the Chinese was arrested as a burglar, sentenced to two years in prison, and, crucially, was still released after serving his full sentence.

The reason for not being released is that the inspector found another theft charge to put on him ……

Japanese ronin drunk, in the street raped a late home from work textile workers, originally the evidence of the case, actually dealt with the result is that the Japanese ronin thought that the female workers are doing that kind of business, and then directly after mediation, the Japanese ronin to give some money, directly acquitted.

Such cases are countless, rare one or two slightly fair, but also the Chinese people suffer.

It is not said that the proud John Bull despises the foot basin chicken? How to look at these cases to do, are like to please kneeling small day it? Cheng Mo’s brain hurts, it seems not to find an opportunity to kill a few small days to pressure the shock is not possible.
