Chapter 29: Acting Inspector

Ma Wenliang was carried back to Tsim Sha Tsui by two military uniforms, because he was the first to come out of the hospital corridor, Yao Mu asked Lu Le to whip him ten lashes of rattan as punishment.

It is said that the punishment of smoking rattan was first transmitted from the brothel of the Qinglou, and the rattan is also called lazy donkey sorrow, after being dipped in cold water, the burrs on it swelled out, and a whip can bring up a string of flesh and skin, Ma Wenliang was whipped a full ten times, and now the whole ass is blurred with flesh and blood.

Putting aside the identities of Ma Wenliang's senior detective in the police force and the red stick thug of the United Ying Agency, it is absolutely a shame to say that a man in his thirties was beaten so hard that he couldn't even walk.

So after the news spread, while the people in the rivers and lakes were gloating, they secretly changed his nickname of the smiling tiger to the unfinished tiger, which spread quickly.

Ma Wenliang, who felt that his face was gloomy, did not go to the police station or to the hall after returning to Tsim Sha Tsui, but returned home without saying a word.

At today's Tsim Sha Tsui Police Station, the first leader is still lying in the hospital and has not yet woken up, and the second leader is hiding at home and is ashamed to see people.

A plainclothes detective is the acting detective, which has never appeared in the history of the Hong Kong police force, and Su Jingxian sits in the detective's office, feeling a little absurd.

At this time, in the detective's office, in addition to Su Jingxian, Lin Zhiyong was also inside.

"Brother Xian, I've been on an errand for so long, and it's the first time I've entered the inspector's office, and this room is bigger than where my family lives." Because there was no one else in the office, Lin Zhiyong spoke a little unscrupulously, "If Mr. Liu doesn't wake up, can't you always be a detective?" ”

Su Jingxian leaned on Liu Changhua's special seat, glanced at Lin Zhiyong and said with a smile: "It's only temporary, are you a dead man when you are a British?" It's been three days, if Mr. Liu doesn't wake up in a few days, they will soon parachute a new detective over, if the new detective looks at me again, it is possible for me to keep the errand room in the future. ”

"If he really asks Brother Xian to guard the errand room, I will be the first to rebel against him!" Lin Zhiyong knew that Su Jingxian was joking, and he also smiled, and said in an arrogant tone.

Su Jingxian smiled and said, "I have been trapped in the police station for this time and can't get out, if there is anything at the newspaper, you have to run more errands." ”

After serving as the acting inspector, Su Jingxian's salary and benefits did not increase, but because he had to deal with the British superintendent and other Liu Changhua's daily work, he had to stay in the police station all day and couldn't go anywhere.

Hearing Su Jingxian mention the newspaper, Lin Zhiyong had a look of admiration in his eyes: "Brother Xian, last time you asked me to go to Chuanwangdong to order printing equipment, I don't know what you want to do, I can't estimate that you actually quietly set up a newspaper, I really admire you so much!" ”

"You don't have to shine my shoes, did I mess with what I asked you to do two days ago?" Su Jingxian ignored Lin Zhiyong's flattery and asked him about his serious business.

Lin Zhiyong nodded: "Brother Xian, I have already sent a message to Editor-in-Chief Chen as you instructed, so that he can start preparing what you said." ”

In fact, on the day of Liu Changhua's accident, Su Jingxian knew that he was going to cross the sea to Macao, and his plan to prepare for the martial arts competition had been ruined.

A detective was chased and beheaded in his own district, as an agent under him, how could he be as idle as before? This can be seen from the fact that during this period of time, the entire Tsim Sha Tsui Police Station, as well as police station detectives from other surrounding districts, have been dispatched one after another, investigating and searching around day and night to search for the knife hand who attacked Liu Changhua that day.

Therefore, at the gate of the police station that day, before Su Jingxian was about to cross the sea to the hospital, he instructed Lin Zhiyong in advance to let Lin Zhiyong go to the Zhonggang Newspaper in Yuen Long to find Chen Bingzhong, firstly, he was a member of the community in Yuen Long with the status of a police officer, and secondly, he was informed that he could not take a break now, and the matter of going to Macao to hold a martial arts competition would be handed over to him to deal with.

The only thing that Su Jingxian didn't expect was that because Ma Wenliang was punished by Yao Mu, he has now become an acting detective.

"Show me today's paper." Su Jingxian moved his neck and said to Lin Zhiyong.

Lin Zhiyong stood up and walked in front of him, took out two newspapers from his pocket, and put them on the table in front of Su Jingxian: "Brother Xian, one is the newspaper sold on the newsstand today, and the other is handed over to me by the employee of your newspaper office at noon, it seems to be called ...... Ghost board? ”

"It's called a model, and I have time to read more books." Su Jingxian lowered his head to help Lin Zhiyong finish his words, and began to look through the newspaper in his hand.

Chen Bingzhong had already left for Macau two days ago, so the newspapers that appeared in the market yesterday and today were not censored by him at all.

Today's China Hong Kong newspaper is exactly the same as the current situation of the Tsim Sha Tsui Police Station, the boss and editor-in-chief, the first leader Su Jingxian, and the editor-in-chief Chen Bingzhong, the second in command, are not in the newspaper, and the newspaper plate making and printing are all completed by other employees.

After quickly reading the two newspapers in his hand, Su Jingxian closed the newspapers and looked up at Lin Zhiyong.

Lin Zhiyong's face was bitter: "Isn't it?" Brother Xian, are you not satisfied with today's model? ”

Lin Zhiyong is now acting as the microphone between Su Jingxian and the newspaper, and the task of the past two days is to go to Yuen Long every day to get the newspaper sample that the newspaper will be ready to be put on the market the next day, and then show Su Jingxian a look, Su Jingxian nodded and ran back to inform the newspaper that if Su Jingxian has any opinions on the newspaper model, he will have to run two more times, which is not hard.

However, there is no way to do it, although there were already hand-cranked telephones in the fifties, there were no telephone lines in rural places like Tin Shui Wai, not to mention that even on the phone, Su Jingxian could not see the newspaper sample, and he was also uncertain whether the newspaper could be printed.

So at this time, Lin Zhiyong saw that Su Jingxian did not express his position after closing the newspaper, and his face was inevitably bitter, thinking that he was going to let himself go back and forth again.

"If you want to be my horse, and if you want to rebel in front of the new detective, you will stand up for me, and now you will be miserable if you take a few more steps." Su Jingxian rolled his eyelids and pushed the newspaper in front of Lin Zhiyong, "There are indeed a few problems with the sample, but it doesn't matter, tell the people in the newspaper that they can make plates and print them, and the number will be set at 65,000 copies, and you will call it a day when you are done, and you don't have to patrol the streets." ”

Hearing Su Jingxian say that there was no need to patrol the streets, Lin Zhiyong smiled again: "Thank you, Brother Xian!" Don't worry, Editor-in-Chief Chen is not here, I will definitely help you take care of the newspaper! ”

With Lin Zhiyong leaving, Su Jingxian was left alone in the office, Su Jingxian opened the drawer in front of him, took a cigar that Liu Changhua left in the drawer and lit it, thinking about the recent problems of China Hong Kong Daily.

Because the popularity of the Russian boxing championship incident has gradually dropped to a low point in the past two days, after all, the China Hong Kong Daily is not as good as the mainstream newspapers in terms of news topicality, and the sales of the newspaper continue to decline, and the 80,000 copies of the newspaper printed yesterday have not been sold out until dark, and have been sent to the newspaper office for recycling by newspapers from all over the country, so today Su Jingxian will reduce the printing volume again.

However, because of the ten issues of advertising fees just received by the Haoqing Nightlife column, the China and Hong Kong Newspapers are still profitable, and Su Jingxian is not worried about the sales problem.

As long as Chen Bingzhong, who is in Macau, can handle this martial arts competition, it will soon be another wave of news heat exclusive to China Hong Kong Daily, and the Chinese martial arts boxing duel will inevitably attract the attention of a large number of people in Hong Kong and Macao. After the end of the martial arts competition, the new-school martial arts novel written by himself happened to take the opportunity to open a serial column, a long martial arts novel that collected various classic passages of later generations, at least it could bring another group of die-hard readers to the China and Hong Kong Daily, which Su Jingxian, who is familiar with history, is extremely convinced.
