Chapter 373: Sheriff Zonghua wants to bet
The construction of the martial arts hall is still in full swing, but people have begun to come in an endless stream to inquire about the news, hoping to book a place in advance.
After all, Chen Mu's name is already too loud, and almost the entire underground world of Hong Kong is building momentum for him, so it is not surprising that this hot situation is not surprising.
Of course, building momentum is good, but it also attracts the attention of other parties.
Like, the attention of those detectives.
In the battle of the walled city, although Chen Mu also showed his face, after all, in the chaotic battle, not many people recognized his face.
It was only after the war that he became famous, and at the same time, it also attracted the attention of the British.
Hong Kong is not big, whether it is the underworld in the underworld or the white road in the sun, in fact, they are interpenetrating, not as clear as imagined.
The reason why Chen Mu dared to go out into the sun was actually to test the attitude of the British, if they didn't arrest Chen Mu, it meant that they had really given up the walled city.
Therefore, during this time, Chen Mu was also a little cautious, and even worried, not knowing when the British police would come to the door.
People often say that the house leak happened to rain overnight, and the boat was late and encountered a head wind, so I was really afraid of something, so I just sent Fang Zongji away, and the police came to the door!
This man was only forty-six or seventeen years old, wearing British shorts and leather shoes, a white police uniform, and epaulettes and ribbons hanging on it, as if to show his difference.
He had a shiny and shiny hair, and there was a white mole the size of a little finger next to his right ear, like an extra dice.
"You are Chen Mu?"
"Yes, you are?"
Before the policeman could speak, the cheap Chinese detective next to him spoke.
"This is our Chief Sheriff of Hong Kong Island, Chief Hana Bridge!"
Chen Mu didn't expect that it would be the chief sheriff, this is not a small role.
At that time, the police were divided into uniformed police and plainclothes police, and the police rank was the same, the one wearing a police uniform was the chief sergeant, and the one wearing civilian clothes was called the chief detective, which was the highest status among the Chinese police officers.
However, there is not only one Chief Sergeant or Chief Inspector Hua, but five each, because the Hong Kong Police District at this time is divided into five, that is, Hong Kong Island, East and West Kowloon, New Territories and Marine Police.
Of course, their status was only relatively high, after all, at that time, the British were in charge, and all the British were senior police officers in the police force, while the Chinese could only start as low-level police officers such as patrol officers, and the highest was only the chief sergeant or chief Chinese inspector.
According to Chen Mu's previous understanding, the Chief Sergeant is closer to the British, while the Chief Inspector Hua is more close to the people, perhaps this is the subtle difference between them.
These people did not "invite" Chen Mu to the police station, but the chief police chief came over in person, which also made Chen Mu feel a little puzzled.
As soon as the plainclothes were introduced, Han Yaqiao raised his hand and instructed the plainclothes, "You go out and wait." ”
Several people looked at each other, nodded, and walked out the door.
Han Yaqiao walked around the room and said in a slurp: "I didn't expect the uncle in Hongmen to live in such a humble place......
He was able to say the word uncle, obviously he had done his homework, and he had a very clear understanding of Chen Mu's background.
"The sheriff didn't come here today to visit the Humble House, right?"
Chen Mu poured a cup of tea, gently put it on the table, stretched out his hand towards Han Yaqiao and said, "Sheriff, please make tea." ”
Han Yaqiao looked at Chen Mu, sat down, didn't dislike it, picked up the teacup and took a sip.
"I didn't expect Hongmen's uncle to be so young and calm, so I'm not afraid that I will arrest you if I give an order?"
Chen Mu took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "If the sheriff really wanted to arrest me, he would have done it a long time ago, so why should he come here in person?" ”
Hana Bridge smiled silently: "It seems that you have been waiting for this day......"
Chen Mu didn't speak, Han Yaqiao continued to speak, and asked Chen Mu, "Do you know why the British left the walled city?" ”
This question is not easy to answer, and Chen Mu has no choice but to remain silent.
Hana Bridge didn't sell anything, tapped lightly on the table, and after a while, he opened his mouth to explain.
"The walled city is a little rotten, but it is a big place, if you don't accept it, it's like a piece of leprosy on the head of a beauty, but if you accept it, it will make a fuss all day and all night, and the itching is hard to ......."
"Let me tell you this, what we mean is very simple, we don't accept the walled city, so that you can help manage it, you manage the walled city, and you, I am in charge!"
Chen Mu suddenly realized that they had this idea.
If they are allowed to directly manage the walled city, I am afraid that there will be trouble at the end of the three days, and if you look at what happened in Tai Po, you can imagine how difficult it would be for them to manage the walled city.
But Chen Mu and Black Guhong have supreme prestige and authority in the walled city, and when they give an order, the walled city is all one.
If they can control Chen Mu or Hei Guhong, it will be tantamount to indirectly governing the walled city, so that they can achieve the effect of taking the walled city without much effort, even better than the effect of collecting the walled city.
Of course, the premise is that Chen Mu or Hei Guhong must cooperate with them, bow to them, and accept their jurisdiction.
This method is not surprising, the chief police officer may not have done this, but Inspector General Hua is familiar with it.
Inspector General Hua is the head of the plainclothes police, and he looks very close to the people, but Inspector Chief Hua of several police districts is actually from the underground world, and even if it is not so, it is inextricably linked to the underground world.
They accept bribes from the underworld, and at the same time, they will also bribe the British, in exchange, they provide protection for the underworld, and even the division of the underworld's territory is under the control of Inspector Zonghua.
This is their most effective trick and trick, but I didn't expect that the chief sergeant would also use such a trick against Chen Mu this time.
After knowing the meaning of Hana Bridge, Chen Mu only smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"The chief sheriff bothered, but unfortunately, you found the wrong person."
"I'm just a foreigner, and the walled city has nothing to do with me, otherwise I wouldn't have left the walled city and come to Central to open a museum......"
Hana Hashiba thought that Chen Mu would readily agree to his proposal, but he didn't expect Chen Mu to start politely refusing, which made him frown.
"Chen Mu, let's not talk darkly, I came to the door in person today, and I have already given you enough face, you are the uncle of the Loyal and Righteous Hall, I came to you, I can afford you, don't toast and don't eat and drink!"
Chen Mu would not be easily fooled by him, let alone easily intimidated by him, and immediately replied to him.
"Since Sheriff Han knows the inside story so well, he should know that my uncle is in name only, and Black Guhong is the real leader, I think it's more appropriate for you to find him than me, right?"
Chen Mu didn't shirk it on Hei Guhong's head, but before Hei Guhong established an alliance with Hetao, he had already used this way to deal with Inspector Zonghua.
Estimating what contradictions had occurred between this chief sergeant and Inspector Zonghua, Hei Guhong and Inspector Zonghua reached an agreement, and the chief sergeant came to Chen Mu, estimating that it was also to contain Heiguhong and Inspector Zonghua.
Chen Mu doesn't need to think too much about the catty here, he can think about it logically.
Sure enough, when Han Yaqiao heard the name of Black Guhong, he was even more displeased, and said to Chen Mu: "As long as you cooperate with me, what is Black Guhong, in less than a year and a half, you will be able to run rampant in the three islands, such a cost-effective deal, you can't not do it!" ”
Even if he was caught by Han Yaqiao and taken to the police station, Chen Mu might not agree, not to mention that this time he took the initiative to come to the door to propose.
"Don't hide it from the sheriff, you have also seen it, I am a layman, I just want to live a life in peace, open a martial arts hall in the future, open a academy, teach, and fight, that's it, as for those big deals, I can't do it, and I don't want to do it, the sheriff should find another master."
Han Yaqiao's face was pale, he stared at Chen Mu like a poisonous snake, gritted his teeth secretly, and said to Chen Mu in a deep voice for a long time.
"So, there's no room for talking?"
Chen Mu didn't want to talk, but because he already knew that Hei Guhong had made an agreement with Inspector Zonghua, and once he accepted Han Yaqiao's proposal, he would be used as a gunman, and he would not be able to be brothers with Hei Guhong at that time, but would be involved in the contradiction between the two and become their pawns and pawns.
The chief sheriff and the chief inspector had a fight, but it was him and Hei Guhong who were injured, of course such a thing could not be done.
Besides, when the British attacked the walled city earlier, these chief sergeants and chief inspectors did not know whether or how much they contributed, and it was for their own interests, so it was better to stay away from such people.
Chen Mu was not without the slightest worry, if the chief police officer Han Yaqiao was really angry and arrested him and locked him up, it would also be extremely troublesome for Chen Mu.
But in contrast, once he agrees to the proposal, he will have a conflict of interest with the black bone red, and the consequences will be even worse.
He Chen Mu is also the uncle of the Zhongyi Headquarters, he must uphold justice, and he should maintain his backbone.
If even he secretly surrenders, although not to surrender to the British, but to surrender to the Hana Bridge, what is the difference between surrendering to the British?
Although Inspector General Hua said that he secretly corresponded with the underworld and used each other, in the end it was a bit entangled, and the chief police officer was close to the British, to put it mildly, it was completely a lackey of the British, and making a deal with him and bowing to him was tantamount to selling all the brothers and men to the British!
After thinking about these consequences, Chen Mu's attitude became more firm.
"I'm sorry sheriff, I really can't do this, so you'd better find another skill."
In this way, Chen Mu no longer refills the tea.
Han Yaqiao's face was extremely difficult to see.
He originally wanted to make a show of Corporal Lixian, so he waited for Chen Mu to nod and come up, who would have thought that Chen Mu would be so ignorant!
Seeing that Chen Mu was young, he thought that he would be caught, but he didn't expect it to be even trickier than black bone red, Han Yaqiao's face suddenly became cold, and he shouted to the plainclothes outside: "Let me in!" ”
The plainclothes outside threw away the cigarettes in their hands, reached for their waists, felt the handle of the gun, and rushed in!
