Chapter 139 - Fund, Properly Discussed

Of course, Shen Chen was only suspicious, and there was no definite evidence.

If Cao Yixin is really an agent of a certain organization, then her training may be very strict, and she may even surpass Ma Mingyu and others.

Because, when Shen Chen observed Ma Mingyu, he didn't find such an action.

Or, Cao Yixin is a junior rookie who can only mechanically follow the training and teach, but will not take other unnoticeable ways depending on the occasion.

Of course, Shen Chen may be harsh, or he may be too observant.

On the other hand, he would not have taken such an easily exposed move. As an agent beyond the times, Shen Chen knows how to hide his characteristics, especially those in his profession.

He is even trying to change his behavior and habits in different actions against different opponents.

For example, in secret operations, he usually hits the chest and heads, or directly shoots the head; And in a fight against the enemy who assassinated him, he would rather fire two more shots and try not to shoot his opponent in the head.

It's a habit that's hard to grasp and change, but luckily there's a big gap between him and his opponents. And it is to be alert and discover in advance, so as not to expose the same characteristics in a fleeting moment, you fight to the death.

Perhaps it was because it was so difficult that no one associated him with those covert operations. Of course, there are many other reasons as well.

After noticing Cao Yixin's abnormality, Shen Chen hesitated for a short time, but after thinking about it, he decided to go as planned.

Because, even if Cao Yixin is an agent of a certain organization, or even a Japanese spy, it will not have much impact on the establishment of the fund. After all, the establishment and operation of this fund will be carried out publicly.

After listening to Shen Chen's story, Alcott touched his chin and fell into thought.

Although the name of the fund is to fight crime, maintain law and order in the concession, reward or pension patrols.

However, everyone knows that the root cause of the deterioration of public order in the concession lies in the Huxi Bad Land, and the root cause of the evil in the Huxi Bad Land is No. 76.

To put it bluntly, when the fund is established, it will inevitably become the target of No. 76. Advocacy and management of the fund will also take a big risk.

Shen Chen understood Alcott's thinking better, and he also thought of a solution. But Cao Yixin's thinking seems to be very sharp, and the suggestions she makes are very similar to Shen Chen's methods.

"If you are worried about the danger, you can set up the foundation in Hong Kong, or other safer places. As for the managers in Shanghai, I don't think there will be a shortage of them. Cao Yixin said with a smile: "There are many people like Inspector Shen who are not afraid of cruelty and death!" ”

Alcot glanced at Cao Yixin and said with some displeasure: "I'm just thinking about how to operate better, but I'm not cowardly and afraid of death." ”

"I didn't say you were cowardly!" Cao Yixin's smile remained unchanged and said, "I think Inspector Shen may prefer us to do other work, such as mobilizing celebrities and wealthy businessmen to raise donations, such as expanding the popularity of the fund, and so on. ”

Shen Chen nodded and said, "Miss Cao is really smart. What I mean by this is to make better use of their connections and popularity, so that the fund can continue to accumulate and develop. As for the managers, as Miss Cao said, it is not difficult to find. ”

After a pause, Shen Chen continued: "It can even be entrusted to a certain institution, such as a bank, a law firm, a financial and accounting firm, and so on. ”

"As long as you have a well-thought-out charter, delegating management is also a good idea." Cao Yixin nodded in agreement and said, "I think, does Inspector Shen already have more specific ideas and plans?" ”

Shen Chen shrugged his shoulders and said, "My thoughts and plans have been spoken, there must be flaws and loopholes, and I have to rely on you to help me make up for them." ”

Alcott said with a smile: "What does Inspector Shen mean, do you want the fund to give inclined support to the Jing'an Temple Fishing House first, relieve the worries of patrolling, and play an incentive role?" ”

Shen Chen nodded and said: "At the beginning of the establishment of the fund, the scale will definitely not be too large, and it is necessary to tilt the Jing'an Temple as the main position to curb criminals in western Shanghai. Wait until you have enough funds in the future, and then gradually expand the scope! ”

Alcote looked at Cao Yixin, probably with an approving look, and agreed to help Shen Chen carry out publicity to expand his popularity and attract more funds.

In fact, even without the support of others, Shen Chen is ready to establish the fund. It's a big deal to grab a few more traitor spies and enrich the fund with anonymous donations.

In other words, Shen Chen wanted to use the name of this fund to launder the stolen money and put himself into the battle with No. 76 in a grand manner.

In this way, it can not only motivate the patrol to do its due diligence, but also not arouse suspicion of the huge amount of money in one's own wealth.

Therefore, in the eyes of Alcott and Cao Yixin, the most difficult financial problem, Shen Chen did not pay attention to it at all. He just pulled a few well-known people to support the faΓ§ade and tried to hide himself behind his back.

After the matter was decided, Shen Chen drank coffee and chatted with Alcott and Cao Yixin, and discussed some details by the way.

Although Cao Yixin made suggestions, she seemed very positive. But Shen Chen felt that she was a little like she was winning her favor, while Alcot was more like she was thinking about the safety of the Westerners in the concession and helping her friends by the way.

Win favor? Likable? Shen Chen thinks that he thinks too highly of himself, why should others?

However, in the face of Cao Yixin's positive energy, Shen Chen decided to remind her without revealing a trace.

"Look at that guy, it doesn't look like a good thing." Shen Chen suddenly stared at a man walking over, weaving unwarranted suspiciousness, "Turning around the corner of the corridor, I'm afraid that someone will catch him." ”

Alcot looked, and the man had already walked to the door, only to see his back. He smiled and said to Shen Chen: "Inspector Shen is really observant, I'm afraid it will be difficult for criminals to escape your eyes." ”

Cao Yixin also laughed twice at first, but soon she seemed to sense something, glanced at Shen Chen, lowered her eyelids, and gently stirred the coffee with a small spoon.

"Life is at stake, you have to be cautious and vigilant at all times!" Shen Chen smiled: "Those guys think they have some training, or they have played with guns, so they feel more sure." As everyone knows, such a half-hung person is different from ordinary people in his behavior and actions, and it is easier to be recognized. ”

Cao Yixin raised her eyes to look at Shen Chen, and said as if teasingly: "What does Inspector Shen mean, is it more certain to give ordinary people a gun?" ”

Shen Chen shook his head and said, "It's not like that, have ordinary people killed people, they will be nervous and scared, and the expression on their faces may be easier to see." ”

Cao Yixin nodded and said, "That's true." Especially in the face of Inspector Shen's majesty and bravery, it is easier to expose flaws. Besides, Inspector Shen's marksmanship is famous, sharpshooter, how powerful. ”

"That should be the main reason." Shen Chen smiled: "Their marksmanship is not as accurate as mine, and they are not as fast as me." Come and kill me, isn't it looking for death? ”

Alcott laughed and said, "Inspector Shen is a daring artist, like us, so he has to hire bodyguards, plus be extra careful." ”

Shen Chen was stunned for a moment, and asked suspiciously, "What, someone wants to be unfavorable to you?" ”

In Shanghai's secret war, it was not only the Chinese and the Japanese. As for the search for spies among the Europeans in Shanghai, the Japanese had a thorough realism.

Berrière, an unemployed mercenary, served in the Abyssinian and Spanish air forces, and was paid handsomely;

Mioreni, a foreign adventurer, is also a well-known doctor in Shanghai - an obstetrician and gynaecologist. To the Japanese intelligence agencies, his job was to lure the wealthy Chinese into hostages under their control.

Urban, Austrian-American, admirer and advocate of the German Nazis.

These three men were one of a small circle of pro-Japanese criminal-political conspirators in Shanghai.

The other circle was formed around "Captain" Pique.

According to a report by U.S. intelligence agencies, Pique is well-educated, a good linguist, an accomplished actor, and a well-spoken writer. He was also a capable assassin, a well-informed informant, an intelligence agent and an arms smuggler.

According to intelligence, in 1937 Pique became a special agent of the Japanese Navy's intelligence agency in Shanghai. Subsequently, he organized a special group of Europeans, mainly targeting British and American intelligence agencies.

In this secret service group, there was the Assassin Rabin, a former member of the Detroit Purple Gang; There is Tazchev, an extortionist, a liar, an informant of the Japanese gendarmerie and the Gestapo; Former Russian naval officer "Baron" Tipott, as well as a number of Belarusian women who are difficult to count.

Because these two spy groups, which are mainly Europeans, mainly with Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union as their main targets, there is no conflict with Shen Chen, nor does it have any intersection.

Therefore, Shen Chen didn't know much about this, and he didn't care very much.

After Alcott finished telling the general situation, he deliberately lifted the collar of his shirt and let Shen Chen see the body armor he was wearing.

"Mr. Alcott has been physically threatened with kidnapping, assassination, and, more recently, has been informed of Captain Peake's men, and that the Assassin Rabin may be working against him."

Cao Yixin was very clear about this, and told Shen Chen: "So, Mr. Alcott hired a bodyguard, wore body armor, and tried to avoid entering public places except for the Alien Club. ”

Alcott hurriedly explained with a smile: "But today is Inspector Shen's appointment, and I am the most relieved." Not to mention Rabin, even Pique, he didn't dare to act rashly. ”

Shen Chen frowned slightly and said, "Mr. Alcott, don't be careless, make a phone call, ask the bodyguard to come over, and accompany you back." ”

Cao Yixin was also persuaded by the side, and Alcote reluctantly got up and went to the front desk of the cafΓ© to make a call.

There were only two people left on the table, Shen Chen and Cao Yixin, Cao Yixin looked at Shen Chen thoughtfully, and said with a smile: "If I didn't know Inspector Shen's resume, I would really think that you are a very professional agent!" ”

Shen Chen shook his head with a smile and said, "It's impossible for an agent like me to be different. It's still very professional, I don't know how you judge? In my opinion, the more professional it is, the more it is no different from ordinary people, and that is what it is called amazing! ”

Cao Yixin blinked her eyes and thought about it, nodded in agreement, but said with a smile: "Even so, Inspector Shen's comments can't but be said to be very professional." By the way, according to the information I have gotten, Wu Shibao really wants to compete with you! You are a sharpshooter, and he is known as a god of marksmanship, I wonder if there will be a wonderful duel? ”

"That'sβ€”definitely not going to be." Shen Chen sneered with a bit of ridicule: "A butcher, a thug, I don't need a gun, I can shoot his." ”

Cao Yixin's eyes widened, she covered her mouth for a long time, laughed profusely, and said, "Inspector Shen said foul language, but it doesn't make people angry, don't you think it's weird?" ”

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, blurted out for a moment." Shen Chen hurriedly apologized.

At this time, Alcot came back after making a phone call, and as soon as he sat down, Cao Yixin told him what Shen Chen had just said.

Alcott smiled and said, "The Chinese language is really, really exquisite. In our language, it would only be a kick in the ass, plus a hard knock. But to say this, it is too far from Inspector Shen's words. ”

Cao Yixin laughed for a while, then summoned the waiter and ordered cakes, bread and other snacks. Obviously, the three of them had been talking for too long, and she might have wanted to have a late-night snack.

Alcott was not polite and ate quite a lot. Shen Chen only ate a small bread, and continued to drink coffee, waiting for Alcott's bodyguard to come before leaving.

"Inspector Shen." Cao Yixin's eyes rolled, as if she had an idea, and said to Shen Chen with a smile: "You have set up a patrol house branch on Jing'an Temple Road, which is equivalent to the commander going to the front line in person. ”

After a pause, Cao Yixin continued: "I think there will definitely be very exciting and sensational news. You see, can you allow me to stay in the branch office during the day, and if there are any actions that don't affect me, let me also participate and take a few photos of the scene? ”

Shen Chen hesitated, there was no precedent for this in the patrol room, and he didn't know if the police department would agree.

Cao Yixin saw that Shen Chen didn't answer immediately, so she turned around and said, "It's really inappropriate for an outsider and a reporter to stay in the patrol room. It's better than this, I also know Manager Chen of Arctic Refrigerator, so I stay in his company. If there is an action that is convenient for me to participate in, please call me and let me know. ”

Shen Chen thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "That's good, just say that it's the news clues you got yourself, and the police department can't find anything wrong." ”

"Then it's settled." Cao Yixin looked very happy, turned her head to Alcot and said, "There is big news, I'll tell you first." ”

Alcot nodded in agreement and ate another piece of cake.

Such a reporter is very unusual! She decided where she wanted to go and how long she wanted, as if no one cared about her.

Maybe she has a good family background and doesn't care about the job of a reporter, but she is just idle and has nothing to do, so she has a name in the newspaper.

Shen Chen guessed wildly, and waited until Alcott's bodyguards came to pick him up and put them in the car before he turned around and left.
