Chen Mu's smoking pot flickered on and off, and Mei Hanli held a cigar in her mouth, unconcealing her scrutinizing eyes.

"I heard that Mr. Chen lives in a walled city?" Mei Hanli's Cantonese dialect is very authentic, as if she is a local, and there is no foreign accent.

Chen Mu looked at Mei Hanli, and couldn't guess the intention of his words, could it be that he had investigated Chen Mu's details and knew that Chen Mu was guarding the walled city?

After a short silence, Chen Mu opened his mouth to respond: "I am from Xinhui, Guangdong, and the chief superintendent is Irish, but now I am sitting in the same room. ”

"The Chief Superintendent has studied at university, been admitted to the British Colonial Office, served as a Navy Admiral Senator, worked as the Treasurer, and I, as for the Eight Stocks, thought about scientific examinations, worked as Miss Isabella's bodyguard, studied Latin and French with the Apostolic Governor of Prussian, practiced martial arts, and also did business."

Mei Hanli heard Chen Mu say this, but she felt interesting, and asked Chen Mu, "What do you want to say?" ”

Chen Mu shrugged his shoulders: "What I want to say is that what everyone has experienced is not really important, what is important is what he will do in the future, the chief superintendent is also a person with a rich resume, I think we should have common feelings." ”

Mei Hanli smiled: "Although there is no comparison, the reason is good, I can really understand it, but we are in different positions, and even ...... There are even some oppositionals, what do you think? ”

Chen Mu took a puff of cigarette: "The Chief Superintendent maintains social stability and eliminates violence, isn't it just a good citizen like me, how can there be confrontation?" Didn't Francis Bacon say that the safety of the people is the supreme law, and the Superintendent of Police agrees with that? ”

Debates between foreigners, they also like to quote scriptures, Chen Mu is a student of Prussian after all, he knows this well, and he brought out Bacon's famous sayings, which also surprised Mei Hanli.

"I didn't expect Mr. Chen to know Francis's famous sentence, yes, but you killed more than a dozen people and abandoned the corpses in the wilderness, which is not a good citizen."

Mei Hanli leaned forward, and her eyes became sharp.

Chen Mu didn't want to debate with him, so he responded lightly: "I was invited to accompany Miss Isabella to hunt, these people want to kill Miss Isabella, as a former bodyguard and now a close friend, what I do is only to defend and protect Miss Isabella, I don't understand the murder and abandonment of the corpse that the chief superintendent said, why don't you ask Miss Isabella?" ”

Although Chen Mu kicked the topic to Isabella a little unkindly, it is undeniable that this hand is indeed beautiful.

Because no matter how he explains, there will not be too good results, because he is Chinese, and Isabella is French, the same words, coming out of Isabella's mouth, have different weights, and Chen Mu does not need to take it all in.

It's not that I'm worried that I'll become a scapegoat, but I don't want to fall behind in front of Mei Hanli, and I don't want Isabella to become passive because of myself.

Sure enough, Isabella immediately answered: "Chief Superintendent, Mrs. Charlenna treats me like an adopted daughter, and I like her very much, but this time, I am really angry, if the superintendent makes such a statement, I can only go back to my father to reason!" ”

Mei Hanli looked at Chen Mu, showed an appreciative smile, waved her hand at Isabella and said, "Isabella, you are still so reckless and impulsive, your father has a bad temper, I don't want to provoke him, don't worry, I will give you an explanation for this matter." ”

Isabella didn't dare to push people too much, and chose to accept it when she saw it: "That's good, although I almost died, I don't want this matter to escalate into a diplomatic incident, and the superintendent should have the same idea, right?" ”

Mei Hanli took a puff of his cigar: "I agreed to this matter, you just wait, but I have said it first, no matter what the result is, you can't come to me to appeal again, do you agree?" ”

Isabella looked at Chen Mu, but Chen Mu frowned.

If you can't appeal again, then everything can only depend on Mei Hanli's bearing, he is not like a righteous person who kills his relatives, and it is impossible to hand over his son Du Kemei.

At that time, there will be no more appeals, and the passive ones can only be him and Isabella.

"What is the Chief Superintendent going to do?"

Mei Hanli looked at Chen Mu and showed an impatient expression: "The result of the case is a secret of the police station, and it cannot be disclosed casually. ”

Chen Muke couldn't let him come back lightly, since he didn't want to express his position, it meant that he didn't have such sincerity, and Chen Muke couldn't retreat.

"If I were an ordinary civilian, of course I wouldn't dare to ask, but we are the parties, the victims, and we have the right to know about the case, especially the results of the investigation, does the Chief Superintendent agree?"

Isabella said to the side: "We can ignore the investigation process, I can't control it, we just need to deal with the results." ”

Mei Hanli scratched her nose: "Okay, I will definitely investigate it, but what I want to say now is another thing." ”

"Mr. Chan was able to kill more than a dozen bandits, and I heard that he was going to open a museum in Central to teach apprentices, he is a rare talent, the Hong Kong government is a tolerant place, and it also cherishes talents, I want to ask Mr. Chan to be the sheriff in the Kowloon Walled City area, what does Mr. Chan think?"

"As the sheriff of the Walled City?" Chen Mu's heart suddenly tightened.

In the last military campaign, the British did not take advantage of anything, they thought that the sacrifice of conquering the walled city was not proportional to the gain, but now it seems that they are still undead on the walled city.

If Chen Mu is given an official title and asked Chen Mu to manage the walled city, it is equivalent to getting the management right of the walled city in disguise, which shows that he has done a detailed investigation of Chen Mu!

On the surface, he gave Chen Mu benefits and gave him compensation, but in fact, his heart can be punished!

At this time, the actual person in charge of the city wall was Hei Guhong, the lord of Hehetao Mountain, and he had always been afraid of Chen Mu, for fear that Chen Mu's reputation would overshadow him.

If at this time, letting Chen Mu serve as the sheriff of the walled city would be tantamount to provoking a war between Chen Mu and Black Guhong!

And this is tantamount to letting Chen Mu surrender to the British with the walled city, although the sheriff's name is very big, but it will make Chen Mu a traitor and lackey that everyone spurns!

In their opinion, an official position is the best "reward" for the Chinese, but unfortunately, Chen Mu is not such a person!

"Chief Superintendent, I'm just an idle cloud and a wild crane, I'm used to being casual, and I don't know how to do government affairs, so this sheriff's job is still over."

Hearing Chen Mu's refusal, Mei Hanli's face was not good-looking.

Seeing this, Isabella hurriedly spoke: "Chen Mu is just too modest, his ability is not small, and the position of sheriff is very suitable for him, but the walled city is too small, so it is really a bit condescending to let him go to that area." ”

When Mei Hanli heard this, her face turned good.

"It turned out that he was a small official, I understand, so which district does Mr. Chen want to be the sheriff?"

Chen Mu didn't want to be a sheriff, but Isabella said this, there must be a reason for her, and Chen Mu also looked at Isabella.

Isabella smiled: "The Chief Superintendent should know that we in France have navigation and trade rights in Port Victoria, but we lack a liaison and sheriff, so it is better to let Mr. Chen Mu serve as this liaison officer." ”

When Mei Hanli heard this, her eyes suddenly narrowed slightly, and she looked like she suddenly realized.

Chen Mu and Isabella had already reached an agreement on the mountain, and they must control a part of the port power, which is an immeasurable benefit to both the business of the French and the forces secretly in Chen Mu.

Since Mei Hanli will not hand over his son Du Kemei, let alone punish him severely, he will use this as compensation to maximize his benefits.

However, looking at Mei Hanli's expression at this time, he estimated in his heart that he was also cursing that unsuccessful son, provoking Isabella and Chen Mu, causing him to make such a painful decision.

Of course, maybe he was even more angry in his heart about why his son's people were so useless, if Isabella and Chen Mu were killed on the mountain, there would be no such problems.

Hong Kong prospered because of port trade, the port is the lifeblood, although the French have a share, but the British have always wanted to take it back, if Chen Mu is allowed to serve as the liaison officer of the port, it will be even more troublesome in the future.

Mei Hanli was silent for a long time before she said to Chen Mu: "Do you know who is holding this official position?" ”

When Chen Mu heard it, he also knew that there was a play.

If Mei Hanli wanted to refuse, why didn't he directly say that someone was already in charge, but asked Chen Muzhi if he knew who was in charge?

So he just wanted to use the current one to push the shots, but he didn't say it to death, which means that there is still hope.

Chen Mu shook his head, and Mei Hanli looked directly at Chen Mu with some solemnity: "It's your detective Lu Yunchen." ”

"Lu Yunchen?" Chen Mu knew that Lu Yunchen was the umbrella of the halls and associations, but on the other hand, he was also the lackey of the British in managing these halls and associations, but he didn't expect that he would have a part in the port.

But Lu Yunchen betrayed Chen Mu and colluded with Dukemay and Isabella and others, there is no doubt about it, if he hadn't deliberately concealed it and deliberately guided him, Chen Mu would not have gone to Isabella to inquire about the news, let alone fall into an ambush.

Not only is he aware of all this, but he is also the main accomplice, and his malice towards Chen Mu is conclusive!

"So what?" Chen Mu threw the question back, and Mei Hanli stopped selling Guanzi.

"As long as you have the ability, I dare to use it, using him and using you, in my opinion, there is not much difference, but I want to tell you, Inspector Lu is not a generous person, you rob him of his job, he will not give up."

"I don't care if you guys eat dogs, whoever bites the opponent to death will come out, I'm happy to see this, but if you make the port crazy because of this, I'll give up both!"

"Are you sure you can withstand Inspector Lu's retaliation?" Mei Hanli confessed so frankly, but Chen Mu frowned a little.

"The Chief Superintendent should wait for the results of the investigation to come out before making a decision, I have enough patience."

Chen Mu knew that if it was investigated, Mei Hanli would definitely know what Lu Yunchen had done in this case.

This is not a matter of Chen Mu worrying about Lu Yunchen's revenge, it is Chen Mu who should retaliate against Lu Yunchen!

Mei Hanli saw that Chen Mu had been pulling the topic towards the case itself, and she was also a little impatient, and said to Chen Mu and Isabella.

"Since you are so insistent, let's go back and wait for news!"
