The next day, Mr. Brown drove me and Amy back to the London Police, but this time he didn't leave us and left, but took us straight to the Commissioner's office.

"Old Brown, how sure are you!"

"My esteemed Director, for God's sake, you and I have known each other for almost 30 years, do you think I will make such a joke?"

"Not counting other countries, how many people are currently involved in our country?"

Mr. Brown looked at me and motioned for me to explain.

"Director Schneider, from the transfer records I have obtained, there are 29 transactions involving a total of 17 countries on three continents: Europe, North America, and Australia. Among them, there are 7 corrupt transactions, and 3 transactions have been confirmed with the help of Inspector Brown at this stage. ”

Schneider was surprised and confirmed to me, "There are 7 in my country?" So much! My God! ”

I nodded, "That's right!" ”

"Damn it!" Schneider was a little overwhelmed by my confirmation.

"Old man Schneider, what do you think about this?" Mr. Brown saw that Schneider was a little undecided, and urged out.

When Schneider heard that Mr. Brown was forcing him, he couldn't care about me as an outsider, and angrily slapped his desk and shouted, "Old Brown, do you know what kind of consequences I would have to bear if this case wasn't for what you said?" I have two years left to get my pension! ”

"Are you just for the sake of the pension and ignore the victims! For God's sake, that's dozens of lives! Mr. Brown also slammed Schneider's desk and roared loudly.

"Then what direct evidence do you have that those dozens of lives were killed by murder!"

"Schneider, you old fellow! You're unreasonable! ”

……

I sat in the guest chair and watched the two of them arguing, thinking that bureaucrats all over the world are the same.

After a bit of arguing, the two came to an agreement. Mr. Brown set up an investigation team to secretly investigate the remaining 4 of the 7 transactions in the corrupt country, and investigate the life trajectory of Li Jiji in the corrupt country for several years. And I returned to Shanghai as soon as possible to control and investigate Li Jiji and Zhou Mengdie. In addition, the London Police and the Shanghai Municipal Public Security Bureau have set up a direct telephone line for the director, and at the same time there are liaison officers on both sides, with Mr. Brown as the liaison officer for the London side and me as the liaison officer for the Shanghai side.

After the arrangement, Schneider asked me to contact the Shanghai Public Security Bureau and give him the results by 6 p.m. tomorrow at the latest.

After Mr. Brown left the director's office, I immediately called Wu Shaodong, first reported to him what I had found in London, and then conveyed to him the details and terms of London's request for coordination between the two countries. After listening to this, Wu Shaodong attached great importance to it and asked me not to turn off the phone, he will talk to Pan Ju now, and he will reply to me within today.

After hanging up, there was a long wait, and I went to Mr. Brown's office first, and I didn't see anyone else. I inquired about it, and was told that he was busy selecting the manpower of the task force, in fact, I somewhat understood the idea of a descendant of a police family like him, and he valued honor the most, and this kind of case had a fatal attraction for him.

When I was bored, Amy found me and asked me if I would be interested in accompanying her on patrol, I thought that the Shanghai side would not reply so quickly, after all, transnational cooperation is not as simple as imagined, so I gladly agreed to Amy.

After getting into Amy's car, I asked her where she was going. Amy said that she went to the docks in London's East End, where gangs have been active lately, and the police department asked them to go around more.

After I said I understood, I leaned my head against the window and looked out the window aimlessly, watching the street scenes pass by in front of my eyes like slides. Seeing me looking out the window in a daze, Amy asked me suspiciously, "Dear Cheng, what's wrong with you?" Got something on your mind? ”

"Thinking about things."

"Can you tell me?"

"Amy, why are you a police officer?" I didn't answer her, but asked her why she wanted to be a police officer, and I wasn't just asking her, I was asking myself.

Amy didn't even think about answering directly, "There is no reason, starting from my grandfather's grandfather's grandfather's grandfather, the people who came out of our family were all policemen." ”

Listening to her answer, I said, "You're such a simple person. ”

"Isn't it easy to be simple?"

Hearing Amy's rhetorical question, my heart moved, yes! Isn't it good to be simple? Since I chose to retire from the army and join the Force, I have found that I have lost the purity I had when I was in the Special Operations Force, and I have become a little forward-thinking. It's not me, and it's not what I want it to be! I suddenly figured something out, so I sat up straight and said to Amy, "Thank you!" ”

Amy turned to me and smiled softly, just as a beam of sunlight shone through her side of the car window, and the sunlight spread from behind her to me. I looked at the delicate face that smiled sweetly in the sunshine and said for no reason, "You are really an angel......

Amy shyly turned around and continued to drive intently, not saying a word to me again. I thought to myself that this was the first time I had seen her shy in the past few days, and her shy appearance was actually quite cute.

After a wordless journey to the East London Docks, Amy parked the car on the side of the docks near the old shipyard and motioned for me to get out of the dock and walk with her. We walked to the pier trestle, Amy looked at the unclean waters of London Harbour and said to me with a little sadness, "Cheng, you know, I didn't tell the truth just now. ”

"What's wrong?" I asked, quizzingly, as I stood beside her.

Amy walked to the top of the trestle, took off her shoes, sat down, and put her feet outside the trestle, "Cheng, sit next to me." ”

I smiled and sat down beside her, my eyes fixed into the distance, waiting for her answer.

Amy gently swung her feet back and forth outside the pier and whispered to me, "Actually, I don't want to be a policeman, don't you think it's strange that a child of a police family doesn't want to be a policeman." ”

I calmly replied, "I'm not surprised, because I didn't want to be a police officer either." ”

Amy didn't follow my train of thought, smiled lightly and said, "Cheng, I'm different from you. Ever since I was a child, I didn't like to be in contact with people and things that were sinful, and I really hated facing them every day. I don't want my future children to be like me, and they will be exposed to the evil side of society every day when they open their eyes. ”

"You can choose your own life."

"It's different, Cheng. I was born into a family that did not allow me to have any other choice, and even my children, my children's children will follow this path in the future. ”

I have some empathy for her situation, I came from a military family and was raised to be a qualified soldier from a young age. It wasn't for my sister who chose to leave the army, I must still be a soldier in the army until I retired.

Seeing that I didn't speak anymore, Amy quietly closed her eyes and leaned on me and said, "Don't say anything, let me lean on it for a while......"

Amy and I sat quietly for a long time, until the ringing of my phone interrupted the peace. I took out my phone and saw that it was Wu Shaodong calling, and immediately picked it up:

"Team Wu, is there a result?"

"Well, there is a result, and after discussion in the bureau, it was decided to agree to the request of the London side, and your side will arrange to return to China as soon as possible. Another thing, a girl named Zhao Ling'er came to you once, saying that she had something to tell you about Zhou Mengdie. ”

"Just let her tell you directly." I'm a little confused so.

"I also told her so, but people don't agree, I must tell you, what can I do. Okay, hurry up and plan your trip, and come back with something. Hung up! ”

After talking to Schneider, he asked his assistant to prepare an agreement on transnational cooperation, and asked me to take it back to the person in charge of the Shanghai Public Security Bureau to sign and seal. I was not interested in understanding this kind of official agreement, so I just put it away and replied that he would hand it over to our director when he returned to Shanghai.

Finally, in order to show the importance of my colleagues from Huaxia Guolai, the London Police Department paid for me to book a BAW business class ticket at 1 pm tomorrow afternoon, and invited me to a buffet this evening. I laughed at the ticket, and as for the buffet, I turned it off because I was unwell.

After leaving the director's office, I saw that it was still early, so I asked Amy to take me to the mall to buy some rotten national specialties. bought two cashmere blankets, one for Jiang Lina, and one for Chen Xinying in order to give Wu Shaodong face. Then, on Amy's recommendation, I bought a few boxes of Thornton chocolates and a few bags of Darjeeling black tea.

After buying the souvenirs, Amy and I went straight back to her house, and in the evening Old Brown was in a good mood, opened a bottle of Scotch whisky after dinner, and sat with me in the courtyard of the villa, sipping fine wine and chatting about the case. Brown Sr. told me that if this case can be solved, Amy will be able to get a pretty good position in the police department when he retires. I heard him say that, and I didn't know if I was happy for Amy or sorry for her.

The next morning, Mr. and Mrs. Brown gave me a silver tea set in return, saying that Amy's grandfather was at home when he was alive. I looked at this set of tea sets that were a little old, and remembered the set of purple clay pots I bought for 500 yuan, and I felt a little sorry to go, but I rummaged through my pockets and didn't find anything to take. At this moment, I suddenly remembered the black jade safety buckle around my neck, so I untied it and stuffed it to Old Brown's wife Christal, saying that there is nothing good, this is my family heirloom jade buckle, so give it to Amy. Old Brown looked at the safety buckle in his wife's hand, smiled and said, "Dear Chris, it looks like our little angel is about to fly away." ”

Brown Sr. was going to work at the police station, and Amy was responsible for accompanying me while I was still in the country, so she drove me to Heathrow Airport under the guise of a private servant.

Upon arrival at the airport, Amy escorted me into the departure hall with the privilege of the police station. She didn't speak to me until I got up to get ready to board the plane when Amy suddenly threw herself into my arms, kissed me on the lips, and parted ways with me after a long time. Then he left the sentence "I'll go to you" and turned straight away.

After I boarded the plane, I sat in my seat, thinking about Amy's inexplicable kiss for a long time.
