First-level detective, this is a goal that is difficult for ordinary patrols to achieve in a lifetime, and Shen Chen only took more than two years.

Although, this also excludes the days when the current body was not his. It doesn't matter, though.

Although Shen Chen was joking before, in fact, he is really only one step away from Huazhu's highest position, the chief inspector.

"The inspector general has no practical meaning, and I don't even care about earning more salaries." When Shen Chen handed over the lease agreement and tens of thousands of cash to Chu Jiao, he confessed his thoughts.

"In three years, the Japanese will occupy the concession, and what is the use of the inspector general? So, I'm going to do a big job in Jing'an Temple Road. ”

"You're alone?" Chu Jiao expressed doubts and worries, "There are many people in No. 76, and you don't have capable subordinates, you can't do it after all." ”

Of course, Shen Chen also knew this, smiled, and said: "This is also the condition I want to propose, if the police department does not agree, I will not do it." ”

Chu Jiao asked suspiciously: "Even if the police department agrees, where are you going to find someone?" Now, there are not many people who dare to fight against the Japanese and No. 76. ”

"One is voluntary, and the other is rewarded." Shen Chen said: "If you are afraid, get out of the patrol room, do a good job, I don't spare money." A few days ago, I told Xu Huaiyi that there was a rumor of a reward. Now, I think we can slowly make it a reality. ”

"Money can make the devil grind?" Chu Jiao shook her head and said, "I have had such thoughts before, but the difficulties are difficult to overcome. Who do you think can publicly identify and give bounties to those who take out spies? ”

Shen Chen smiled slyly: "I used to think the same way. But this IQ is really a good thing. When people are smart, they come up with a solution. In other words, you will understand, let's not talk about killing spies, but only about fighting crime and maintaining law and order. And the bounty is also called bonuses and pensions in another name. ”

Chu Jiao thought about it and was a little enlightened, but she didn't fully understand, so she asked, "You can make it clearer." ”

Shen Chen nodded and said, "My idea is to set up a public account in the bank, establish a fund-like thing, and find a few famous people to manage it." For example, if a patrol officer clashes with thugs or spies in the performance of official duties, if he is conscientious, he can be rewarded with bonuses; In the event of injury or death in the line of duty, a large bereavement benefit is available. ”

"Oh, that's a clever idea." Chu Jiao suddenly realized and said: "Secretly change the concept and classify the spies of No. 76 as criminals, whether it is a key attack or not, it is naturally commanded by you." There are rewards and pensions, and there will always be some effect, so that the patrol has less worries. In the future, the scope will be expanded according to the situation, so that more people can benefit from killing spies. ”

"More on that later." Shen Chen said: "At least after I take office, I will throw out a lot of money to make the patrols have some enthusiasm; As for the incompetent and timid people, I will not hesitate to transfer and dismiss them. ”

"With human rights, this is also one of the conditions you have to negotiate with the police department?" Chu Jiao somewhat cleared Shen Chen's thoughts, and said with a smile: "What else?" ”

"It's not bad to have an enhanced armament or an armored car!" Shen Chen laughed and said, "Didn't an armed conflict break out in Huxi a few days ago, and even used grenades and Thomson submachine guns. I'm still interested in Thomson submachine guns. ”

The prototype of the Thomson submachine gun was introduced in 1919 and was later refined, using the U.S. .45ACP standard pistol cartridge, fed by a huge 100-round drum with a rate of fire of up to 1,500 rounds per minute, and the 100-round drum was empty in 4 seconds.

As a result, Thomson's billboard called the gun a "trench broom" to highlight its incomparably powerful firepower.

Unfortunately, the Thomson submachine gun was too advanced at the time, and the high rate of fire, coupled with the fact that it had not been tested in actual combat, made the sales effect very unsatisfactory.

Desperate, Thomson did everything he could to sell to society. This coincided with the U.S. government's prohibition. Gangsters around the country have trafficked moonshine for huge profits, and Thomson's submachine gun is favored by the gangsters because of its short, concise and powerful firepower, and has become the standard equipment of bandits.

Those who have watched American movies in the thirties should be familiar with this gun, and may also know that this gun is called the "gang gun".

In the United States, many bandits bought the gun and immediately modified it for gang fighting, home robbery, and even open confrontation with the police.

Because this submachine gun can be easily hidden in a violin case after removing the wooden tray and drum, criminals call it "Chicago violin". And because of the rhythmic "click" of gunfire during bursts, it is often called the "Chicago typewriter".

And in China, this large, front and rear grip, with drums, was more widely used and more famous than the "Flower Machine"-MP18/28 submachine gun, which entered China at the same time.

Due to the different translations, it is also translated as Thomson, Thompson or Thompson in China. This weapon is often referred to as the "Tomson hand-held machine gun", which is simplified to "Tom gun" or "Tom type".

Despite the high cost and staggering weight of the Thomson hand-held machine gun, there were other drawbacks. But that doesn't stop it from becoming a trusted weapon for warriors.

Its greatest advantage is that its performance is stable and reliable, and it has enough lethality that the enemy may immediately lose combat ability if he is hit by a .45 caliber bullet fired by it.

Shen Chen believes that if the police department can agree to his request or condition, the strength of the patrol room of Jing'an Temple will be greatly improved.

Even without actual combat, patrolling with this kind of gun, or letting the gangs of villains in Huxi know that there is such a gun, is also a great deterrent.

As for the armored car, Shen Chen felt that it was impossible to give it, and he just mentioned it, what if the goal was achieved?

Analyzing and judging in combination with the general trend of history, so as to draw the most beneficial choice for himself, is always Shen Chen's strength.

The Police Department of the Ministry of Industry promoted him and appointed him as the chief inspector of the patrol room on Jing'an Temple Road, second only to the second-in-command of Inspector Yang.

Although this is a fancy to his unsparing efforts to fight criminals, there is also a limit, and he cannot be allowed to act recklessly.

In order to stabilize or reverse the unfavorable situation in Huxi, and to reduce crime in the concession, it is not necessary to offend the Japanese too much, Shen Chen knows the idea of the police department.

Moreover, Shen Chen also guessed that if Inspector Yang was smart, or if he was instructed by the police department, he would give himself considerable power, and he would choose to keep a low profile.

This is also very understandable, while expressing trust and giving Shen Chen a high hat, he also gave him a pot.

Shen Chen did a good job, Inspector Yang's face was bright, and the benefits were indispensable; If Shen Chen smashed it, or offended the Japanese without a legitimate reason, the foreign inspector would not hesitate to shift the responsibility to Shen Chen.

Whether it is for the police department or for the aggressive Japanese ghost, it is the best choice to let Shen Chen be in front. Shen Chen naturally understood this clearly.

That's why he has to make demands and conditions, no matter what the result is, he can get some benefits anyway.

At about the same time as Shen Chen was transferred to the patrol room of Jing'an Temple, the police department cleaned up and dismissed the patrol.

The police department of the Ministry of Industry of the Public Concession suspended and dismissed more than 60 patrolmen suspected of being bribed, while the patrol house of the French Concession dismissed more than 40 patrolmen.

Such a move is quite harsh, and it is also beneficial to Shen Chen.

As a result, York, the deputy commissioner of police who was in charge of investigating the bribery patrol, was shot by two thugs when he left his residence on Yuyuan Road. Fortunately, York returned fire and drove the rioters away unharmed.

On the same day, Bronche, a senior police officer in the police department of the French Concession Ministry of Industry, was also shot at and slightly injured. And Broncher was also in charge of investigating the bribery patrol and was responsible for the dismissal.

Obviously, the identity of the foreign devil is losing the role of the talisman more and more, and the Japanese and the spies of No. 76 are becoming more and more unscrupulous.

It was also in this situation that Shen Chen came to the patrol room on Jing'an Temple Road and took office.

Sure enough, as he thought, the inspector of the patrol house on Jing'an Temple Road, the Englishman Victor, was not only old, but also showed a state of working in a state of eating and waiting for death.

Whether it is a real hope to retire safely, or it has been instructed by the police force. Anyway, the work of patrolling the Jing'an Temple Road was quickly handed over to Shen Chen, and Victor was just in charge of chores on a whim.

Great power also means great responsibility, Shen Chen knows that if something goes wrong, he will have to take the blame, and Victor is the character who comes forward to clean up.

But Shen Chen doesn't care, just give me the right to use it, and give full play to it.

As for some of the conditions he had put forward before, the Police Department of the Ministry of Industry and Bureau of Industry had selectively and limited consent. For example, let him bring eight subordinates, and give him the power to report and fire incompetent patrols;

As for weapons, Thomson's hand-held machine guns were not approved, and there were no problems with shotguns and body armor in retreat.

Moreover, most of the reports written by Shen Chen on measures such as strengthening police patrols, adding roadblocks, and recruiting capable patrols and arrests were also approved.

Although the requirements were not fully met, it was enough for Shen Chen to spread his fists and kicks and make a big move.

First of all, three guard boxes were set up on Jing'an Temple Road near Huxi, and patrols were arranged to be on duty day and night; As soon as the police are heard, the patrol on duty should immediately set up roadblocks on the road to prevent the criminals from escaping back to Huxi by car.

Secondly, Shen Chen used false documents to divide the house that he bought Jiang Boxin into two. Half of it will continue to be leased to Chu Jiaolai's branch, and half will be rented as a branch office for patrol houses.

In this way, he was equivalent to personally sitting in charge and guarding the Jing'an Temple Road, the main passage to western Shanghai.

At the same time, the contact between Shen Chen and Chu Jiao is more convenient, and the branch is next door, which also plays a role in covering and protecting Chu Jiao.

Since the establishment of the Jing'an Temple, its jurisdiction has been a cross-border road construction area west of the entire public concession.

In the first nine years, after the establishment of the Xinzha Road Capture House, the Jing'an Temple Capture House area shrank to the west of Kade Road and Tongfu Road.

In 1933, the patrol area of Jing'an Temple's fishing houses was determined to start from Maite Hestoff Road in the east, Xinzha Road in the north, Aidoya Road in the south, and the western boundary of the concession in the west.

Therefore, in addition to Jing'an Temple Road as the focus of prevention, the Jing'an Temple Capture House Headquarters is mainly responsible for the patrol and maintenance of Yuyuan Road, where it is located.

The reason why Shen Chen chose to sit on Jing'an Temple Road is that, on the one hand, it is the main passage to western Huxi, especially the No. 76 spy to enter the concession; On the other hand, he also has to crack down on the traitors and villains on Yuyuan Road, which can be regarded as a smokescreen to get rid of suspicion.

Yuyuan Road is similar to Jing'an Temple Road, and the road that stretches to the west of Shanghai is a cross-border road, and the Italian garrison is responsible for maintaining law and order.

But the difference between the two roads is that there are many bungalows and villas on both sides of Yuyuan Road, most of which are inhabited by wealthy businessmen.

With the power of the Japanese and the prestige of No. 76, Wu Shibao and others occupied many houses on Yuyuan Road.

Not only did Wu Shibao's family live on Yuyuan Road, but he also paid tribute to Li Shijun; The economic traitor Pan San Province, the traitor Foreign Minister Chen Zheng and others also lived on Yuyuan Road.

Also, there is a dormitory for Japanese patrols on Yuyuan Road, which will also be one of Shen Chen's targets.

Although Shen Chen was ready to do a big job, he also made a lot of arrangements. On the surface, however, it seems that the investigation of suspicious vehicles and people entering the concession area in western Huxi has been relaxed.

Actually, it's easier said to get in than to get out. Shen Chen not only familiarized the patrol with the information about the No. 76 personnel, but also asked Xu Huaiyi's gang brothers to take action to help track and spy on them.

Within the public concession, there must have been the eyes, ears and stronghold of No. 76. Shen Chen was ready to use a big operation to deal a heavy blow.

In fact, Shen Chen already had some information. It was through Cao Bingsheng and Xu Huaiyi's gang brothers who followed and spied, and the breakthrough was the spy he knew but deliberately did not move, and the guy he called the "bright light" spy.

It's just that Shen Chen feels that it is not enough, and the Jing'an Temple fishing room after he has just taken up his post needs to be smoothed and adapted, and he must also conduct targeted training for patrolling, and observe which ones are conscientious and which ones are perfunctory and timid.

In just three days, Shen Chen can be regarded as conscientious, personally inspecting the jurisdiction during the day, once in the morning and once in the afternoon; He didn't go home at night, except for night rounds, and set up a bed in a room in the branch office to rest.

Of course, in addition to work, Shen Chen also began to implement the establishment of the fund.

The first person he liked was Alcott, and he called to invite him for an interview.

In a café on Jing'an Temple Road, Shen Chen and Alcott met as promised, along with Cao Yixin.

Shen Chen has a special feeling for Cao Yixin, not that she is a courtesan or Alcott's mistress. But in a small detail, Shen Chen felt that Cao Yixin was likely to be trained as an agent.

There was a right-angled turn in the corridor of the café, and when Cao Yixin walked by, it seemed natural to take a step in the opposite direction of the corner, and then turn the corner. It was this small detail that made Shen Chen feel that he might be a peer.

A specially trained person, or someone who often lives in dangerous situations, will always be alert and subconsciously watch out for a surprise attack from a dead end.

The turning angle has been increased, so that you can react quickly when the opponent is attacking. This alertness and habitual action is not deliberate, but has soaked the entire body and will be revealed inadvertently.
