As soon as James walked to the door of the office, the secretary immediately stood up and reported, "President, Director Shen of the police station came early in the morning and has been waiting for you in the office for a long time. ”
The corners of James' mouth twitched slightly, revealing an expected smile. He opened the office door and walked straight in. Director Shen was sitting on the reception sofa when he saw James come in and hurriedly stood up.
"Mr. James, someone Shen took the liberty of visiting and disturbed me."
"Director Shen doesn't need to be polite, you came to me in person, there must be something important?" James sat down on the sofa in a chic manner, raised his hand and motioned for Director Shen to take a seat.
Shen Chang sat down respectfully, with a look of embarrassment on his face, "Yes, it is indeed a tricky matter, and I want to ask Mr. James to give me some advice." He paused slightly, and then said: "You should have also heard that my subordinate, Ma Yunpeng, the police chief of the Western District Bureau, is now under investigation for accepting protection money from trading companies and abusing public power to occupy major freight stations in the Western District for many years. Because the merchant involved this time is our British Georgeson Company, and the amount of money is huge, I would like to hear your opinion, Mr. James. ”
James smiled slightly, and the cloud was light, "Director Shen, you are exalting me too much, I am a businessman, how can I understand the affairs of judicial officialdom." That's right, this time our Georgeson company did lose a lot, and originally planned to invest in building a warehouse in the western district, and all the money was invested, but Ma Yunpeng made it difficult for us to pay taxes everywhere. Of course, it is inevitable that we will spend some money on business and dredging customs, but he is like a bottomless pit, and every time the lion opens his mouth, we are overwhelmed, so the project of the warehouse in the West District has been shelved. We are doing legitimate business, and it is difficult for us to compete with the power of the government, so we should only learn a lesson from the loss. ”
Director Shen thought to himself, James is a character who can suffer, and this time Ma Yunpeng's accident is estimated to have a lot to do with him James. But he nodded again and again on the surface: "Yes, yes, yes, it's our dereliction of duty, shameless to face you." Shen will definitely spare no effort to investigate Ma Yunpeng's case and eradicate this cancer for the general public. He rolled his eyes, leaned his head in a flattering manner, lowered his voice and said, "However, although I am the director of the Shanghai Municipal Police Department, I also have to look at the faces of the police department and the city ** above." Although I am bent on eliminating harm for the people and seeking justice for you, Mr. James, I am limited by my power and hindered everywhere! You may not know that Ma Yunpeng's father, Ma Fubiao, although he has long since retired, is very well-connected in the police department, and this old Mr. Ma also has a relationship with the current deputy mayor. So...... Shen is not easy to do. ”
James stared exaggeratedly, "Director Shen said so, the police department is going to shield the subordinates of the traitor section?" ”
"No, no. It's just that there will be difficulties in the investigation and handling of the case, and the result may not be as expected, and the dismissal is certain, but the rest is ...... It's hard to say, it's hard to say. Director Shen squinted at James, and there was something in his words.
James understood that Director Shen had come to show loyalty to him this time, and by the way, he also reminded him of the knot that brought down Ma Yunpeng. James smiled flatly, "Director Shen just needs to investigate and deal with it according to the regulations, as for the result...... What we can predict. ”
Director Shen smiled knowingly and said yes again and again.
Seeing off the police chief, James picked up the phone on the desk and dialed a number.
"Hello? Mayor Money, I'm James. I've got a new batch of great cigars, and I know you like it, and I'll send it to you tomorrow. We may not have seen each other in a long time, so we have a cup of tea and a chat. …… Don't dare, don't dare, how dare you bother to run, I'll look for you tomorrow morning. …… Okay, okay, okay, that's it. ”
James put down the phone and retracted his smile, his eyes dark and bottomless, flashing with a gloomy sharpness.
