Chapter 57: Talking about conditions

First of all, in the "Declaration", which has the largest sales volume in Shanghai, the "Declaration" with the largest front page headline, detailed the Hongkou Arrest Inspector Class B Li Gang who was bribed by Takeshi Yamashita, the manager of the Japanese Nissin Company, to privately release the three arsonists who had been sentenced, followed by the Hongkou Arrest House, which has a long history, reduced its staff by more than 20%, and the third was that Sun Wei was invited into the office of the inspector general of the Central Patrol House early in the morning.

"Sun, I know that you are the best detective in the arrest room, but your cross-border handling yesterday made the chief inspector of the Hongkou arrest house very unhappy, and he has sent the report to the police department, which makes it very difficult for me to handle." In the inspector general's office, Boisragon said to Sun Wei with a helpless expression.

"Mr. Inspector General, I did a little overstepping my authority about yesterday's incident, it stands to reason that I should have informed the general inspector of the Hongkou Capture House, but to be honest, I don't believe in the ethics of the Chief Inspector of the Hongkou Capture House, like Li Gang, who blatantly violated the ban on arresting the house and dropped the prisoner without permission, I don't believe that the chief inspector of the Hongkou Capture House did not hear any rumors, and he chose to ignore it." Sun Wei argued.

"Sun, although your actions yesterday were not wrong in terms of reason, they were illegal in terms of the rules of the patrol house, if the more than 2,000 patrols in the entire concession are like you, they will cross the line to handle cases at every turn, then the rules and system of the house arrest will become a fictitious system." Inspector General Boisragon said.

"Mr. Inspector General, I understand your concerns, but you should know that I am the only one Sun Wei in the entire public concession patrol house, and what I can do is what other people can't do, just like what we said about Hongkou Capture House, the robbery of Xiangfu Jindian has not made any progress for two months now, do you think such waste is qualified to cross the line like me?" Sun Wei said.

The robbery of Xiangfu Jindian can be described as a big case that caused a sensation in the whole of Shanghai, not only the robbers robbed a huge amount of money, but also killed and injured more than a dozen patrolmen and innocent people, which once caused panic in the entire public concession, and also made Boisragon, the inspector general, be greatly questioned by the Ministry of Industry and Bureau.

"Sun, you mean you can solve this case?" For the robbery of the Xiangfu gold store, Boislagun is still tired of coping, and Sun Wei's words let him grasp the last straw.

"If it can be broken, it can be broken, but this is a cross-border case, aren't you still reprimanding me for crossing the line to handle Li Gang's case just now, I don't have the courage to commit a crime against the wind now." Sun Wei pretended to be in a gesture.

"Sun, as long as you can solve the robbery case of Xiangfu Jindian, not only will I not pursue your cross-border case this time, but I will also personally write to the Ministry of Industry Bureau to ask for credit for you." Boisragon said a little excitedly.

Although the public concession has the word public in its name, it is still inseparable from the influence of the British government, and at this time the Ministry of Industry of the public concession is still the dominant British one, so the appointment of the top chief of the patrol house is mostly from the United Kingdom or Hong Kong active police officers, these people are different from the ordinary patrol under them, they are reported in Britain or other British colonies, and most of the duty in the patrol house of the public concession is seconded.

The current chief inspector of the patrol house, Boislagon, is from the London Police Department, England, he has been seconded to the public concession patrol house as the chief inspector for six years since now, during these six years he enjoyed the rights that he did not enjoy when he was a police officer in London, so if possible, he is very willing to stay in the public concession patrol house until retirement, but the robbery of the Xiangfu gold store has become one of the variables.

At present, the robbery of Xiangfu Jindian can be said to be the largest public safety crisis since the establishment of the public concession except for the Xiaodaohui uprising, and the bandits who robbed Xiangfu Jindian not only did not do any cover up when robbing, but directly rushed in with open fire to roll up the property, and then swaggered out.

Although the robbers robbed at night, there were still a lot of people at night for Shanghai, a city that never sleeps, and naturally there were patrols at night, so the patrols of the night patrols quickly got into trouble with the bandits.

In the enigmatic city of Shanghai, all the ills of urban policing are doubly highlighted here, as Shanghai is under the jurisdiction of three municipal agencies and at least two other police forces at the same time, and the crime rate in Shanghai is also extremely high.

The notorious Shanghai Youth Gang, endless kidnappings and armed robberies, intermittent foreign aggression, espionage and violent political terrorism, and so on all aggravated the chaos in Shanghai, so the police force in Shanghai must be fully armed, because according to the existing Qing Dynasty regulations, once armed criminals are caught, the punishment is extremely severe, so they have absolutely no hesitation when they shoot on patrols, and unarmed thugs will attack and patrol to steal weapons, and never leave a living mouth.

The public concession patrol is equipped with a weapon for the Lee Enfield rifle, which is a new type of rifle that the concession authorities replaced last year after eliminating the backward Lee Maitford rifle, this rifle uses a rotary pull-back bolt with a rear end lock invented by James Paris Lee, which has a relatively fast loading speed, and is equipped with a fixed box-type magazine, double-row magazine loading, which improves the continuous firepower, and can be described as one of the fastest rotary pull-back bolt rifles in actual combat.

Compared with the well-equipped patrols, the robbers of the Xiangfu Jindian and Dashun Hotel were far more backward in their equipment, and this group of people only had seven or eight relatively old-fashioned revolvers, and other than that, they were all cold weapons with knives, guns and clubs, which did not play any role in long-range shooting.

Although the weapons and equipment of the patrol were excellent, but their number was too small, and they only had the fate of retreating in the face of the attack of dozens of people, so before the patrol from other places came to reinforce them, this group of bandits had already grabbed their things and evacuated safely, and also left a patrol and the wounded bodies of innocent people for the patrol house.

This robbery occurred in the jurisdiction of the Hongkou Patrol House, and the responsibility was naturally solved by the detectives of the Hongkou Patrol House, during which even though the Chief Inspector of Police personally ordered the detectives of other arrest houses to assist in handling the case, no one was willing to wade into this muddy water, so the entire responsibility for the case was on the shoulders of the Police Department and the Hongkou Patrol House.

More than two months have passed since the occurrence of this case, during which even though the detectives of the Hongkou Arrest House have tried their best to make no progress, for this reason, the Ministry of Industry Bureau has revealed that the inspector general of the patrol room, Boislagon, will pay for the robbery and will be dismissed and returned to the UK after the year at the latest.

The concession is known as a country within a country in Shanghai, and the foreigners in the concession are the rulers of the entire concession, enjoying the treatment of the highest class, which Boislagon cannot enjoy with the same position in London, so even if he is given a promotion and a salary increase, he may not be willing to return to his homeland, let alone return to China with this stain and resume his post, and there is no future in London in the future, which can also understand Boislagon's excitement when he heard that Sun Wei could solve this case.

Since coming to the society at the end of the Qing Dynasty to the present, Sun Wei has understood a truth, as long as your value is big enough, even if you make a big mistake, you can be forgiven, just like Li Guang in the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty wanted to use his bravery to trap the passing beast and not to investigate him for killing the captain of the guard.

At present, in the entire public concession, Sun Wei has the same irreplaceable strength as Huang Jinrong in the French Concession, he can do things that others can't do, and he can also maintain the most basic stability of this sin city, and the mistakes he makes are acceptable within a certain range before he finds a replacement object.

Regarding the robbery of Xiangfu Gold Store, in fact, the predecessor Sun Wei has already started to let people investigate, and also found out a certain amount of eyebrows, which Sun Wei found in the memo book left by his predecessor, but neither the predecessor Sun Wei nor Sun Wei himself immediately reported to the boss.

Sun Wei didn't know what his predecessor thought, but he himself thought that instead of asking for a reward early, it would be better to boil Boisragon and other high-level arresters like an eagle, so that they could know the difficulty of the case, so that they could remember their own good in their hearts.

For now, although the robbery of the Xiangfu gold store has made Boisragon sleepless, it is still not at the last moment, and the news released by the Ministry of Industry has not been confirmed, so it will take a while to completely tame the eagle of Boislagon, but the clinker plan cannot catch up with the changes, and the final plan is disrupted by Li Gang's mess.

"Mr. Inspector General, in fact, when the Xiangfu gold store was robbed, I had already sent someone to investigate, but the modus operandi of that group of bandits was too sophisticated, and they were masked with black scarves during the crime, which brought a lot of trouble to the subsequent investigation, but two days ago, my informant provided me with a very important piece of information, and I believe that with this information, I can successfully solve the case in less than a week." Sun Wei explained.

"Sun, you said that you can solve the robbery of Xiangfu Jindian, this is really good!" Boisragon almost jumped up excitedly after hearing Sun Wei's explanation, and then he patted Sun Wei on the shoulder and said: "Sun, you don't have to worry about the cross-border case, I will deal with it for you, what you have to do next is to make every effort to solve the robbery of Xiangfu Jindian, and during the investigation, you have the right to requisition any person in the concession to arrest the house." ”
