Since Xiao Zhenlei was taken to the patrol room for no reason, many Shanghai Tang citizens who learned the news expressed their dissatisfaction and protest to the patrol room by phone, these calls are not only from ordinary Shanghai citizens, but also from Chinese businessmen in Shanghai.

The reason why ordinary citizens called to protest and express their dissatisfaction was because Xiao Zhenlei had defeated the Japanese and defeated Western strongmen before, which gave the Chinese a sigh of relief, especially for the citizens of Shanghai, Xiao Zhenlei can be described as a heroic figure with national integrity.

On the other hand, Xiao Zhenlei is also a member of the Chinese businessmen, and he also joined the Chinese Entrepreneurs Association, Xiao Zhenlei was arrested for no reason, which made these Chinese businessmen feel the sadness of the rabbit and the fox.

One by one, the phone calls came in, so that the central patrol room of the public concession faced huge pressure, the public's meaning is very clear, you patrol the house to arrest people, please come up with really convincing evidence, without evidence to take a heavyweight Chinese businessman away, how big the impact is, do you know the patrol room?

Not to mention the fact that the phone was blown up, Inspector General of the Police Department Bruce learned that De Gray, the director of the Ministry of Works in charge of police affairs, was coming, and immediately brought McGowan and some senior police officers of the police department out to greet him.

"Director DeGray, welcome to the patrol room to guide the work, I would like to express my gratitude to you on behalf of all the patrols!" Bruce saw that Degray was talking to several people, so he immediately stepped forward and said.

De Gray turned around and said, "Oh, Inspector Bruce, I do have to direct your work. Go to your office, let's talk, Deputy Inspector General McGowan is here too! ”

"Yes, sir!" Both replied at the same time.

The others were left where they were, and the trio went into Inspector Bruce's office together.

DeGray sat in the place that belonged to Bruce as a matter of course. Bruce and McGowan sat on the couch, like two schoolchildren who had done something wrong, waiting for the teacher's criticism and education, and in fact realized that something was wrong when they saw Degray, who rarely went to the patrol room, even if he sometimes called them to his office.

After lighting a cigar, DeGray smoked his cigar and said, "Two gentlemen." As the director of the Ministry of Works in charge of policing, I rarely come to the patrol room, because I know that my frequent presence here will affect your authority in the hearts of other patrolmen and affect your normal work, and I believe in you. And I will hand over the police work to the two of you with full authority, that is, I hope that you can maintain the social order of the public concession and effectively crack down on crime and safeguard the interests of various countries in China, but at noon today, I received one phone call after another, all of which complained about your inflexibility in law enforcement, and I have also heard about the case of Chinese businessman Xiao Zhenlei, and according to custom, you have reason to suspect him. He can also be asked to come to the patrol room to assist in the investigation, but for a Chinese businessman like him who has a huge amount of property, he cannot completely follow the procedures, and he must be flexible in handling the case. Do you know how much of an impact you had on bringing him to the patrol room? ”

Speaking of this, De Gray knocked on the table and said: "At noon today, the phone at my house is about to burst, and the people who call are all famous tycoons and rich people in Shanghai, and one or two don't matter, but ten, dozens of rich people and tycoons have called, which shows the seriousness of the matter, so many people." I can't afford to offend a small director of the Ministry of Industry, two gentlemen. Can you think about it for me? And I also got the news that thousands of workers on the construction site of Zhenhua Company heard that Xiao Zhenlei had been arrested. Worried that their jobs would not be secured, they discussed preparing to march in the concession to protest against the actions of the authorities of the Ministry of Industry. Not to mention how much pressure this will put on the board, just one thing, we have to send out all the patrols in the concession to maintain order, and what if there is chaos in the department, and then what if there are cases elsewhere? Don't you two know the consequences of doing this, as the chief and deputy inspectors? Don't think that the Chinese are easy to bully, Napoleon said that China is a lion that has not woken up yet, I ask you not to wake up this lion, okay? Let's talk about it, Bruce, I heard that you ordered Xiao Zhenlei to be brought into the patrol room? Why? ”

Bruce has never felt so wolf like today, and he has never been so criticized by his boss, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, if something really happened this time, he, the inspector general, was afraid that he would roll up and roll back to England, it was all that damn Japanese Miyamoto!

Bruce said ashamedly: "Mr. de Gray, I'm very sorry to let this case disturb you, as the inspector general of the patrol room, of course I know that for some people in Shanghai, the case cannot be handled blindly according to the procedure, but I can't do it, the Japanese consul in Shanghai Miyamoto personally came to me in the morning to express to me the Japanese authorities' concern and attention to the murder of Mitsui Shou and Suzuki Jiro, and asked us to deal with it quickly and seriously, and he also mentioned that he suspected that Xiao Zhenlei had a great connection with this matter, so he ??????."

Things turned out to be as Feig said, and De Gray was convinced of this after listening to Bruce's words, it seems that it is really the Japanese who are making trouble behind the scenes, and Bruce is just a martial artist, and he does not understand how fierce the competition between countries for interests in China is.

Knocking on the table, De Gray said in a deep voice: "Mr. Bruce, Mr. McGowan, I ask you to remember one thing, you are the chief and deputy inspector general of the Public Concession Patrol House, and you are a senior official under the jurisdiction of the Board of Directors of the Public Concession Ministry of Works, not Japanese officials, nor under their jurisdiction, you are taking the salary paid to you by the Public Concession Ministry of Works, understand?" If the Japanese have anything to ask them to go to the board of directors of the Ministry of Works, you can only obey the orders of the Ministry of Works, otherwise, then go and get the salaries of the Japanese, two gentlemen, do you want me to tell you how to deal with this matter? ”

Bruce and McGowan suddenly stood up sweating profusely and said loudly, "No need, sir! Thanks for the guidance, we understand what to do! ”

"Good!" De Gray nodded with satisfaction and waved: "Go, I'll wait here!" ”

Bruce immediately gave McGoun a color, and McGokuyun turned around and left the office when he saw this, and after a while, he came in with Xiao Zhenlei.

After seeing Xiao Zhenlei, De Gray got up and walked over and stretched out his hand and smiled: "Mr. Xiao, I am De Gray, the director of the Ministry of Industry Bureau, we have not done a good job in the patrol room, so you have been wronged, I am very sorry, but now it is okay, the rain has passed and the sunny day, I hope you blame our patrol room, sometimes the patrol room also has a last resort!" ”

After shaking hands with De Gray, Xiao Zhenlei smiled: "I have not committed a crime, and I have always believed that the patrol house will enforce the law impartially and will give me a proof of innocence. ”

De Gray said: "Thank you for the compliment! ”

At this time, Bruce said next to him: "Mr. Xiao, now you can leave the patrol room, I can only say sorry for my previous behavior, I hope you don't take it to heart, in fact, Mr. McGowan and I have always wanted to get to know you and become friends." I beg your pardon, there are still certain procedures that must be processed, and you will have to go through the bail procedures for you in person or by someone else before you leave! ”

"Thank you, we don't know each other, we will be friends in the future! I'll let my lawyer handle the bail formalities! Xiao Zhenlei said and shook hands with Bruce and McGowan respectively.

On the way back, Song Shijie, who was also sitting in the carriage, asked, "Sir, you didn't suffer any grievances in the patrol room, did you?" ”

"Nope!" Xiao Zhenlei said: "Those people didn't dare to do anything to me, this time I really have to thank Lawyer Qin and Lawyer Fei Xindun, if you hadn't contacted Bauer in time, I think it would be impossible for me to come out so quickly, it seems that it is a very wise choice for me to hire two lawyers to be my and my company's lawyers."

Qin Liankui and Fei Xindun looked at each other and smiled, and said at the same time: "Serving you is what we should do!" ”

Song Shijie said again: "Sir, I talked to Lawyer Qin and Lawyer Fei Xindun just now, and we all think that the signing ceremony with Lihe Foreign Company must be carried out as much as possible, after all, the Germans have made a great contribution to your release on bail, and we don't think there is any need to delay it any longer, and holding the signing ceremony as soon as possible can stop the Japanese from prying eyes!" ”

Xiao Zhenlei nodded when he heard this: "That's true, so let's go, after you go back, you call Mr. Bauer's secretary to ask what Bauer means, see when he is free, we will hold a signing ceremony and press conference, and all the reporters who will be on the beach will be invited to go!" ”

After returning to the Xiao Mansion, Qin Liankui and Fei Xindun sat for a while and left, Xiao Zhenlei sat alone in the living room smoking a cigarette, and the fact that he was invited into the patrol room this time really caught him off guard. At the same time, the deaths of Mitsui Shou and Jiro Suzuki also made him very puzzled, who killed them? And it was killed in Mitsui Yoko? It's just weird.

After thinking for a while, Xiao Zhenlei didn't have any clue, then Song Shijie came over and said: "Sir, I have already asked Mr. Bauer, he means to ask for your opinion, of course he hopes to do his best, after all, both sides have great sincerity for this cooperation!" Moreover, he said that the time and place are up to you, and the signing ceremony and press conference are best organized by Lihe & Co."

Xiao Zhenlei thought about it and said, "Then it's set for tomorrow morning, and the location is still the Licha Hotel!" ”

"Okay!" (To be continued) R466
