Chapter 67: A Chance Encounter with Huang Jinrong
PS. The collection is not a hard injury, just to five hundred, and in a blink of an eye it fell back to four hundred and ninety-six, lonely can only run tears to ask for a collection, ask for the first order!!!!!!
Karlowitz's daughter's birthday party was held at eight o'clock in the evening, but when Sun Wei arrived at Karlowitz Villa at seven o'clock, there were already many guests in the garden in the front yard, among which most of them were foreigners, and most of the Chinese who were dotted during the period were dressed with short hair.
The slogan put forward by the Manchu Qing Dynasty is to keep the head without hair, and keep the hair without the head, so the money pigtail braid has become a very politically significant thing in the Manchu Qing in China's colonial rule, as long as the existence of this braid marks the existence of the Han people being enslaved, and cutting off the braided hair is tantamount to rebellion.
As far as the current situation is concerned, only Yuan Shikai's six towns in Beiyang were allowed to cut off braids by the Manchu court, and anyone else's braiding behavior is illegal, even Zhan Tianyou, the commander-in-chief who is responsible for supervising the construction of the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway, has re-grown his braids, but this situation is only applicable to officials who serve the Manchu government, and there are many students who do not have braids in the local area.
The Manchu court was still relatively tolerant of foreign students, as long as they did not follow Sun Wen and the alliance to pull the flag and rebel, and did not serve in the imperial court, it was no longer a serious matter to keep braids, and there were still strict restrictions on ordinary people, including patrolling and arresting houses in the concession.
Since Sun Wei occupied this body, he is still relatively satisfied with everything he has inherited, and the only thing that makes him unhappy is the braid on the back of his head.
"Inspector Sun, it's been a long time, I heard that you were shot some time ago, I don't know if you're okay now?" Just when Sun Wei wanted to go to the villa in Yokalowitz to say hello to the owner and give him his gifts, he was blocked by two people in the same outfit as him, one of whom was tall and thin Sun Wei knew Lu Liankui, who had just been transferred to the patrol room on Xinzha Road to explore the sights, but it was another short and fat middle-aged man who walked in front of him who spoke.
Although Sun Wei didn't know this middle-aged man, seeing that he was able to make Lu Liankui, who was the target of the house hunting, very respectful, he expected that it must be Huang Jinrong, who was entrusted by Yu Qiaqing to escort Lu Liankui to the public concession to hunt houses.
"I'm bothering you, a few gunshot wounds are nothing serious, they've healed a long time ago." Although Sun Wei expected this person to be Huang Jinrong, out of caution, he still did not call him his identity.
"Inspector Sun's gunshot wound can't be said to be a minor injury, I heard news from your mansion some time ago that Inspector Sun's injury is fatal, that is, only a young man like Inspector Sun can escape from the ghost gate, if he is replaced by Huang, he will blow the lamp and pull out the wax." Huang Jinrong said with a palpitation.
"Where is it so serious, it's because the women don't have knowledge, and they scare themselves." Sun Wei saw that Huang Jinrong still had no intention of leaving, and expected that this old man had something to ask for himself, although there was a lot of competition between the two of them at this time, but one was in the French Concession and the other was in the Public Concession, which had not yet reached the point of incompatibility, and cooperation was also possible.
"Inspector Sun's last injury can be regarded as showing his face in the entire patrol and arresting world, single-handedly killing and repelling hundreds of bandits, and the daughter of the British consul came out under the tiger's mouth, he is really a young hero, I heard Lian Kui say that you will give you a medal for this in the arrest room." Huang Jinrong didn't let Sun Wei leave, nor did he mention exactly, but praised Sun Wei's deeds last time.
"It's just rumors from the outside world, where are there hundreds of bandits, otherwise they can drown me with a mouthful of spit, but a dozen gangsters who want to fish for the side door, they can't use a few firearms in their hands, and as a result, I can't raise my head with a revolver, where is this credit, and it has not reached the point of letting the trapper issue a medal." Sun Wei shirked.
Speaking of the medal of the capture room, Sun Wei can be said to be full of tears, seeing that he is about to become the first Chinese patrol to be honored since the establishment of the capture room, and even the inspector general of the police department has signed this resolution, but it was vetoed by the Ministry of Industry Bureau, and the directors of the Ministry of Industry Bureau refused on the grounds that there is no precedent for Chinese to be honored.
No precedent?
Hearing such a reason, Sun Wei had the urge to scold the street at that time, and there was no precedent for recruiting Chinese to patrol the house in his grandmother's earlier house arrest, and now he still does not let the Chinese patrol dominate the middle and low-level positions of the entire house hunting, and if he looks down on the Chinese, he says that he looks down on the Chinese, but he uses this unscrupulous reason to disgust people.
"It's not authentic for you to capture the house, but you were injured to protect the daughter of their consul, where can't you issue a medal, this is not as good as our French Concession, as far as Huang's small merits can be labored, our fishing house issued me a high medal." Huang Jinrong was upset for Sun Wei.
"Inspector Huang is a bit arrogant, you have worked diligently for the French Concession for more than ten years, and it is more than enough to exchange such a high medal, Sun is different, Sun has only been in the hunt for more than four years now, and it is already a great fortune to be able to be the inspector of the trap, where do you dare to ask for a medal." Sun Wei said humbly.
"Inspector Sun just said that Huang is vain, I think Inspector Sun is really arrogant, although Inspector Sun has entered the arrest room for a relatively short time, but he has solved a lot of big cases, not to mention the case of Hongkou Class B Inspector who took bribes and released prisoners without permission that you solved yesterday, today I heard that you have assured the chief inspector of your arrest house that the Xiangfu Jindian that caused a sensation in the entire concession was closed in seven days, this is a big case among the big cases." Huang Jinrong exclaimed.
"Inspector Huang may be well-informed, and he can even inquire about what I said in the inspector general's office so quickly, and Sun Mou sighs to himself for this alone." Sun Wei said in a flattering tone.
Sun Wei's words are a bit heart-wrenching, this makes it clear that Huang Jinrong has planted spies in the patrol room of the public concession, and he is also a spy with a high status, if the chief inspector of the public concession knows about it, it will definitely make many people lose their jobs, after all, not everyone can make the high-level arresters succumb like Huang Jinrong and Sun Wei.
"What did Inspector Sun say, even if I am well-informed, I will not be able to reach out to your arrest room, let alone your inspector general's office, this is not what Lian Kui met the detective of your detective department in the morning, and talked about it while chatting, and then just casually said it to me, and the result was remembered by me. Lian Kui, did you tell Inspector Sun that I was talking about this situation? Huang Jinrong's last sentence was naturally said to Lu Liankui, who had not intervened behind him.
"Back to Inspector Sun's words, the matter is indeed my master's situation, and I blame the small mouth for the lack of a doorman." Lu Liankui began to slap himself heavily as he spoke, which inevitably attracted the surprised eyes of the people around him.
"Okay, okay, this is someone's banquet, and besides, I'm not your boss, so I don't have the right to punish you." Sun Wei naturally didn't want to be watched like an animal, so he quickly waved his hand to stop Lu Liankui's show.
"Where is Inspector Sun here, you are the only chief inspector in our public concession Chinese patrol, so you naturally have the right to manage our Chinese patrols, besides, the police department is recently preparing to set up a Chinese deputy inspector general to be responsible for managing our Chinese arrests, I think this position belongs to you." Lu Liankui put down his hand and slapped himself when he heard this, and then complimented him.
"Inspector Huang, you really accepted a good apprentice, I just learned about such a secret news, I didn't expect to let your apprentice detective hear, it seems that his achievements in the future in the hunt will be above mine." Sun Wei was shocked by Lu Liankui's ability to collect intelligence, no wonder he was able to be the first to come in the later life, and became an existence beyond Huang Jinrong in the concession patrol room.
"Inspector Sun has an overreputation, he just has some skills of roosters and dog thieves, and he can't get on the big stage, how can he be compared with Inspector Sun, this is too much to exalt him." Huang Jinrong didn't know if Sun Wei was joking, or if he really thought so, if it was the former, it would be nothing, but if it was the latter, then Lu Liankui's development in the patrol room would be much bumpy.
Hearing Sun Wei's praise, Lu Liankui also quickly realized the seriousness of the matter, at this time, he couldn't wait to smash his mouth, otherwise he wouldn't have played a little clever with his mouth, so he hurriedly remedied with trembling: "The little one is just a gangster from the Zheng family's wooden bridge, and being able to serve as a detective in the capture room is already a green smoke from the ancestors, where can I dare to look at Shu and peep into the position of the detective." ”
"What Lu Tanmu said is like I, Sun Wei, am jealous of my ability, it's a pity to be a small detective with your talent, and now it happens that there is a shortage of Class B inspectors in Hongkou Capture House, so I will recommend you to Mr. Inspector General. I'm sorry Inspector Huang, I still have to go to see Mr. Karlowitz, the owner of the party, so I lost my company. Sun Wei was also anxious to give his own gift to Karowitz's daughter, and talk to Karlovitz about future cooperation, so naturally he didn't have time to continue to argue with Huang Jinrong and Lu Liankui, so he wanted to cross the two and walk to the villa.
"Inspector Sun stays for a moment, Huang does have a reluctant request to Inspector Sun." Huang Jinrong saw that Sun Wei was really leaving, so he quickly stopped and said.
"Inspector Huang is outside, just rely on our relationship to talk about something, why ask for words, but you see that the drinking party is about to start, and the gift I prepared for the birthday star has not been sent over, so it is better to wait for us to find a time for you to tell me in detail." Sun Wei really couldn't get used to Huang Jinrong's style of asking for his own needs, so he made a gesture to leave.
"Slow down, Inspector Sun, it doesn't take much effort, it's time to come." Huang Jinrong hurriedly stopped Sun Wei and said.
"Okay, Inspector Huang, what's the matter, you say?" Sun Wei actually didn't really want to leave, whether he could or not, or whether he was willing to help him, he had to listen to what he mentioned, otherwise he would refute his face, and the relationship between the two would really be tense.
"Actually, it's not a big deal, you also know that I also have a pharmacy in the French Concession, and most of the medicinal materials sold are for daily use, but recently people have been going to me to buy your Cuiyunxuan magic medicine, and it will always damage our reputation if we can't sell it, so I wonder if Inspector Sun can deliver a batch of goods to my pharmacy after the mass production of medicines?" Huang Jinrong turned the conversation around in a big circle, and finally got to the point.
"This is naturally no problem, I naturally welcome the pharmacy that produces the finished medicine to help sell it, according to my plan, the retail price of Cuiyunxuan's magic medicine in Shanghai is temporarily set at one yuan, and the purchase price of the pharmacy is eight yuan, but this purchase price is the price for others, if you change to Inspector Huang, it will definitely be lower than this price, how about setting it at six yuan?" As the so-called wealth is moving, Sun Wei saw that Huang Jinrong said that it was so difficult, and naturally understood that he stopped himself not just to get the right to sell his own medicine, but to seek more benefits from it, so he offered him a lower price as he wished.
Although Sun Wei did not work as a detective in the Shanghai Public Concession for a long time, he understood many truths that he did not know when he was a student, and he also learned a lot of ways to behave in the world.
If it was Sun Wei when he was a student, he would definitely not let Huang Jinrong earn the difference between the two coins of silver for no reason, after all, Huang Jinrong's hand has reached out to the public concession, and in many cases they are in a competitive relationship, this kind of concession is tantamount to an enemy behavior, and now he did not hesitate at all, and directly reduced the price by a quarter, but he knew that his concession allowed him to get much more than this quarter.
"Inspector Sun, this can't be helped! Huang just wanted to ask Inspector Sun for a share of Cuiyunxuan's magic medicine, where would he dare to ask for anything else. Although Huang Jinrong's mouth was shirking, he could see from the smile that was about to pull the back of his head that he was satisfied with the price.
"Inspector Huang, don't shirk it, with the relationship between us, this discount is still available, and besides, my medicine will inevitably have to bother you to take care of it in the future, if you see it like this, how dare I trouble you if there is a problem in the future." Sun Wei explained.
"Since Inspector Sun said so, then Huang is better to be respectful than to obey his fate, Inspector Sun can rest assured, if you can use Huang in the future, as long as you inform him, Huang will be duty-bound." Huang Jinrong assured.
"Okay, let's settle it, Sun is still in a hurry to see Mr. Karlovitz, then we'll see you back." Sun Wei pointed in the direction of the door of the villa and said.
"Then Huang won't bother Inspector Sun, let's see you later." Huang Jinrong turned sideways as he spoke, making way for Sun Wei.
When Sun Wei walked into the villa, he happened to meet Karlowitz talking to others, so he thought about finding a place to sit for a while, and waited until Karowitz's guests left, who knew that after seeing him, Karlowitz waved his hand and shouted to him: "Sun, come here!" ”
Although Sun Wei didn't know why Karlovitz called himself when he was talking about things, he still walked over according to Karlovitz's meaning. (To be continued.) )
