According to Xiaolan, the first Chinese inspector of the patrol house in the public concession can be regarded as an old-timer, and was appointed as a detective in 1883, twenty-four years ago, but that senior is not only a pioneer of the Chinese in the promotion of the patrol house, but also a martyr of the Chinese in the promotion of the patrol house, he was assassinated after being promoted to the inspector of the patrol room, and it is said that the Chinese detective under his command was keen on his position as the inspector and bought the murderer.

Sun Wei was able to be admitted to a class of universities in a municipality like Shanghai, which was naturally not something that could be done by studying hard, and he quickly figured out the stakes with a little understanding of the patrol room, which also made him feel a gust of wind in the back of his head, if it wasn't for Xiaolan telling him that the gunshot wound on his body was formed because of saving the daughter of the British consul in Shanghai, he even maliciously speculated that the gunshot wound on his body was also caused by the Chinese detectives below.

In fact, when the patrol room was first established, the detective work in it was also carried out by foreigners, but due to the language barrier and the contempt of foreign agents for the Chinese, they were unwilling to go deep into the living environment of the Chinese to listen to the news, and the patrol room soon found that these foreign agents alone could not solve the cases in the concession, so they first used the Chinese agents.

The Chinese detectives, also known as Bao Inquire, were dressed in civilian clothes and mingled all day long in restaurants, teahouses, tobacco houses, theaters, green buildings and other places where the three religions and nine streams gathered, probing the winds and grasses in the entire concession, and once a case occurred, they could know the news as soon as possible, and then report it to the foreigners and inspectors above.

Since there are Chinese detectives, the efficiency of solving cases in the patrol room is much higher, and whenever a case occurs, it only needs to be asked to be questioned, and it will not take long to solve it, so these Chinese detectives are more and more appreciated by their superiors, and many cases can be solved by these detectives themselves, which invisibly promotes the rights of these detectives.

With the intensification of cross-border road construction in the concession, the population in the concession is also increasing, and there are more and more Chinese detectives who are naturally needed.

The accusation of the detective is that he is responsible for managing the lower level of the detective, and at the same time assisting the detective above to solve the case, compared with the agent who does not have any position, he naturally has a lot of rights, although this right is not used by the wealthy Chinese businessmen in the upper echelons of the concession. The comprador took a fancy to it, but it was favored by the middle- and lower-class Chinese in the concession.

In the patrol room, the foreigners patrol consider themselves superior, and they are usually only wealthy Chinese businessmen who come and go to the concession. Among the compradors, they disdained to be in the company of the middle and lower class Chinese, who accounted for the vast majority, so the Chinese who patrolled the house took advantage of this opportunity to make profits for themselves.

With the passage of time, the talented and methodical detectives in the patrol room came to the fore, so he was appointed as the inspector by the patrol room.

Although the detective is only one level higher than the detective, there is a huge difference in his rights, and he is no longer just a person who provides information and identifies criminals, but has the right to influence the progress of the case and the size of the criminal's crime.

Although Xiaolan is vague about the first Chinese detective, according to Sun Wei's speculation, that person is estimated to have been promoted to detective step by step from the Chinese detective with seniority and merit, and does not have a high gang status like Huang Jinrong in the French Concession to deter the subordinate juniors, so he attracted the prying eyes of the lower-level personnel and became a thorn in the side of those people.

In fact, Sun Wei understands that with the passage of time, the status of the Chinese in the concession will continue to increase, and in the future, more Chinese will become the inspector of the patrol house, the inspector, the inspector, and even the chief inspector, the Chinese director of the Ministry of Industry Bureau, of course, this needs to be a gradual process.

According to the history that Sun Wei is familiar with, the first Chinese in the patrol house was Huang Jinrong in the French Concession, he relied on the gang members he had previously recruited to suppress the unwilling to move farmers, grave owners and small proprietors who protested against the increase in donations in the process of building roads across the border for the patrol house, so as to obtain the promotion of the patrol house, and then he relied on his own well-informed, true or false to crack a lot of big and important cases, and became a hot figure in the patrol house.

Although the public concession and the French concession are both leased territories in China by the great powers, their internal ideological forms are still different, and the reason why Huang Jinrong was able to develop rapidly in the French Concession is due to the fact that the French Concession is more similar to the French colony in the form of Italian ideology, and all its affairs depend on the French consul in Shanghai, as long as this link is opened, you can sit back and relax.

As for the public concession, it is more similar to a joint-stock company, although the British consul in Shanghai has certain rights, but its main rights are still in the hands of the public board of directors formed by the mutual promotion of foreigners in the concession, which also leads to the public concession in terms of management is more honest and honest than the French concession, and cannot form a figure that covers the sky with one hand.

Compared with the development of Huang Jinrong's patrol house in the French Concession, the development of the Chinese patrol house in the public concession seems to be a bit late, and it was not until the early Republic of China that a Chinese inspector named Lu Liankui appeared, and a large part of his career relied on Huang Jinrong who was a detective in the French Concession.

At that time, old Shanghainese would joke with each other and say, Nong Don't be Kui, Nong Don't be Lu Liankui, translated into Mandarin means, you don't think you are right, you are not Lu Liankui, which shows the weight of Lu Liankui's power in the Shanghai Public Concession.

Throughout the history of the Shanghai Concession, Sun Wei did not find that there was still his own mission in the concession, and it was clear to him that according to the development of history, his body must have died in this shot, and his soul entered the body that should have been buried by mistake.

Just as Sun Wei and Xiaolan were chatting, the door was suddenly opened by a woman in her thirties, who was carrying a food box, although she was dressed and looked gorgeous, she still couldn't hide the tiredness in her eyes.

"Vixen, what are you doing! You're not welcome here, you let me out! Seeing the woman outside the door, Xiaolan seemed to have been bitten on the buttocks, and immediately changed her face, jumped up from the chair and scolded the woman.

"Ah Wei, I heard that you woke up, so I made ginseng soup and brought it to you, you can drink some while it's hot to replenish your body!" The woman outside the door ignored Xiaolan's reprimand, and walked directly past Xiaolan to Sun Wei's bedside and said.

"Why are you so shameless, you vixen, I said that we don't welcome you here, and we don't want your broken ginseng soup, you hurry up!" Xiaolan stopped between the woman and Sun Wei again, and insulted again.

"Xiaolan!" Sun Wei vaguely predicted the identity of this woman from Xiaolan's words, knowing that he didn't make the debt himself, but he was still a little lacking in confidence.

"Uncle, you...... I'll tell Miss! Xiaolan's face was red because of Sun Wei's aggrieved attitude, tears flowed out directly, and then she turned her head and ran out of Sun Wei's ward.

"This girl has such a temper, don't take it too seriously." Sun Wei disguised himself as a very familiar look and persuaded him.

"It's okay, I'm used to it." Although the woman didn't care about Xiaolan's insults, she was a little uncomfortable, so her tone was a little stiff.

Then she put the food box on the table, brought out the ginseng soup inside, and sat on the edge of the bed to feed Sun Wei the ginseng soup, while choking a little and said: "I heard that you were almost scared to death when you were shot and unconscious, there are rumors in the outside world that you have been seriously injured and died, I don't know your true situation, I want to come to the hospital several times to see you have been blocked by your tigress, this time I heard that you woke up, and deliberately took advantage of the tigress's absence to stew the ginseng you sent me to send it to you." ”

"Look at you, why do you cry while talking, I'm not fine!" When Wang Qian took care of herself before, Sun Wei could only make some small movements because he couldn't figure out the situation, and this beautiful woman was obviously his concubine, so he had no scruples, raised his hand to wipe the woman's tears, and felt the woman's silky skin, and said.

The woman obviously also noticed Sun Wei's small action of wiping her tears, not only was she not annoyed, but gently slapped the back of Sun Wei's hand on her cheek, and said with a smile: "You villain, you are injured like this and your heart has not changed, be careful that your tigress sees that you can't eat and walk around." ”

"For you, I'm willing." Sun Wei got the woman's acquiescence, and his actions became even more unscrupulous.

"Don't make a fuss, I don't have much time here, I'll tell you something serious." The woman shyly knocked off Sun Wei's palm on her face with her spoon-holding hand, and said a little shyly: "Gu Yecheng came to me this morning, saying that he had found the group that kidnapped the consul's daughter, and that he was hiding in a warehouse in the French Concession. I thought you had an accident, and I didn't have the mood to pay attention to him, so I sent him away, and I asked you to get an idea first. ”

"French Concession, it's not good to let the patrol house go directly to arrest people, if you negotiate with the French Concession, the living people should have gotten the news and run away!" Sun Wei didn't know the situation in the patrol room, let alone who this Gu Yecheng was, and only hoped that this woman could take the initiative to propose a solution.

This woman did not disappoint Sun Wei either, seeing that Sun Wei was a little hesitant, so she suggested: "Since you can't use the people who patrol the house, then let Gu Yecheng bring some brothers to arrest them quietly, but that gang of thieves has a few short guns, and let Sun Li provide some weapons and manpower to assist." ”
