126. Agent Grace, a collaboration with Shelby
Patrolling the streets is to wander along the street with rubber sticks, and when you see the problems of the vendors, you are silent.
Because they are all neighbors, in order to support their families.
But if you encounter a crime, it doesn't matter if you are a neighbor or not.
This is a major matter related to the progress of police officers, and it must not be sloppy.
Mensa and Laito were eager to improve, but their minds were not bright, and even the details of the case were arranged by Russell, otherwise they would have been arrested and sentenced for dereliction of duty.
Walking on the road, Mensa asked, "How to do tomorrow morning?" ”
Russell said: "Listening to the arrangement above, we are small police officers, so we don't need to work hard. The Chief Inspector brought a group of police officers, and they were the main force. ”
"Understood, then we'll follow you tomorrow."
Russell frowned and said, "I'm a volunteer policeman, and the task assigned may be to block the streets." ”
"Isn't that also to maintain law and order, wearing this police uniform, it represents the king!" Laito said.
Mensa said, "The three of us are in the same group, arrange for you to block the streets, and we may go too." ”
Seeing that Russell nodded, he smiled and said, "I'll go to you tomorrow morning." ”
"Okay."
Now that the three of them have taken a goal and slogan of common progress, they naturally advance and retreat together when there is no benefit.
Besides, Mensa and Laito don't have any brains, and if they want to be promoted and raised, they must rely on Russell's brains.
This is why the two are eager to follow in Russell's footsteps.
12 Lanpo Street.
Russell returned home after leaving his job, took off his police uniform, changed into a suit, and had his hair styled.
Sitting on the couch reading a book, she listened to her father's words to learn financial management, so the Campo brothers got a management book out of nowhere.
The Campo brothers, on the other hand, went to Camptown Racecourse to apply for a job, but they never returned.
"Dad, where are you going?"
"Garrison's Tavern."
Shirya got up and smiled, "You want to listen to that waitress sing, right?" I heard from the neighbors that their men were so fascinated by the waitress that they couldn't find the north and spent a lot of money on liquor in the tavern. ”
"Don't think about it, is the living expenses at home enough?"
"Enough, you've made a lot of money these days, and now you have £1 34 shillings and 29p at home."
"It's time to pay your salary in a few days, and when the time comes, you take Ai Yin to buy clothes. Don't worry, our family will be fine soon. ”
Hirya nodded, "I believe, Dad." You should also pay attention to safety ......"
"Don't worry."
The dialogue between father and daughter makes the family atmosphere more warm.
The main thing is that Sylya is very smart, and she knows what to do without Russell saying it.
At the moment, Garrison's Tavern is very lively, with many drunkards holding bottles or glasses, gathering at the door, facing the bar.
In front of the bar, there was a blonde woman in a green dress, stepping on a stool, her hands folded on her abdomen, and she was singing.
The drunkards listened in fascination and sang along with the blonde woman's song......
Russell pushed open the door and stepped in.
After hearing the drunkards singing along, he frowned.
He walked to the bar and stood right next to the blonde woman, turning his head at Russell's height to catch a glimpse of the blonde's thin waist and looking down to see the thin white legs......
"White Rum with ice."
The bartender Harry was stunned for a moment, and nodded quietly in response: "Okay." ”
The singing woman was obviously stunned, but she didn't stop, just glanced at the man standing next to her lap with her spare eyes.
The drunkards in the back, when they saw Russell standing next to the woman, immediately had an unhappy temper and spoke disrespectfully.
"away, are you peeking? Go home and look at your mother-in-law's upskirt......"
The curse made the singing woman still, she stiffened and lowered her head to look at Russell, and after the two looked at each other, Russell turned around rather speechlessly and walked towards the person who spoke disrespectfully.
"Get out! This is not where you should be......"
Russell walked up to him, raised his hand and grabbed his neck, pressing it directly to the ground.
Two punches were immediately struck in the face, and the bridge of his nose was sunken and his cheekbones cracked.
When the people around saw this scene, they all breathed in horror.
Garrison's Tavern is a public place, and Russell can't possibly kill people here, especially since he's a police officer.
After two punches, he didn't strike again, got up and looked around, "You all saw that he provoked me, right?" ”
In the private room, a person pushed the door and walked out, it was John Shelby and his younger brother Finn.
"Russell Campo, this is the Razor's territory."
The drunkards were shocked when they heard their conversation.
There weren't many people who could make John reasonable, and if someone was usually making trouble in the tavern, he would have taught him a lesson.
"You know, I came to the tavern as a guest to drink, and he made abusive and offensive words, shouldn't I have taken action?"
"But this is the Razor ......"
Russell waved his hand: "Don't mention this to me, call Tommy to administer justice, your brain won't understand at all." ”
"...... the"
"Don't swear with me, John, watch out for the teeth in your mouth."
John was so angry that he patted Finn on the head, "Go and call Tommy, and I'll say that Campo is making trouble at the tavern." ”
"Okay." Finn staggered out.
In the tavern, everyone kept their mouths shut, because even John, the third man of the Razor Party, was deflated by Russell, where did they dare to speak disrespectfully, wasn't that looking for death!
Russell walked to the bar steadily, knocked on the table and said, "White rum with ice." ”
“… Very, very quickly. Harry put away his stunned expression and responded.
At this time, Russell turned his head to look at the blonde woman and said, "You don't come down?" Enjoying the feeling of being on top? ”
She was stunned, carefully leaned on the back of the chair, and squatted down.
And Russell saw her squirming and afraid of falling, so he raised his hand and grabbed her waist, and moved her off the stool with both hands.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome." Russell stared at her face and asked, "Are you a prostitute?" ”
"Not ......"
"Then this is not the place for you to come, these drunkards think you are a singer, and sooner or later they will see it."
Grace paused, "Thank you for your kindness, I'm also here for life." ”
Russell leaned forward with a smile and whispered in her ear, "Hello, Agent. ”
Grace stepped back in horror, her eyes round at him, as if she had seen a ghost.
Harry, who was next to him, didn't hear Russell's words as he wiped his glass on the other side.
"What's your name?"
"Grace."
"You can call me Russell, or Mr. Campo."
"Mr. Campo...... Me, is my singing good? ”
"It sounds good, like a lark, but I like to hear the lark chirping in my ear."
Grace was stunned and bowed her head silently.
The drunkards didn't dare to speak up, and John was back in the private room, and he listened to Tommy's words and didn't act rashly, otherwise he would have been unable to bear it with his temper.
This Russell Campo is so arrogant!
Beat people up in the razor's territory, and tease the only woman in the tavern after the beating......
At this moment, the tavern door was pushed open.
Tommy walked in wearing an octagonal hat, and when he saw the unconscious drunkard on the floor, he looked up and noticed Russell Campo talking to Grace in front of the bar.
"Russell Campo! You need to give me a reason. ”
Russell turned his head to look at Tommy and smiled, and raised his head to signal that there was an alcoholic in the tavern.
"You all get out! Go home! Take the drunkard on the ground and send him to the clinic! I'll pay for the medical expenses. ”
The drunkards quickly fled the tavern, they didn't want to stay here for a long time, but just now John spoke, and they had to stay.
The wounded man left a pool of blood on the ground and was carried away by the drunkards.
Suddenly, only Grace and Harry, Russell, Tom and John are left in Garrison's Tavern.
"You two are off duty too."
Harry nodded and put down his glass and walked out of the bar, while Grace stood still, looking at Russell with a worried face.
Russell also saw her expression, and Grace was not worried that something would happen to him, but that he would tell her identity...... Just now, the two words Russell said in her ear were still ringing in her ears.
Grace whispered, "I, I'm waiting for you outside the door." ”
Tommy frowned, his gaze moving over Russell and Grace's faces.
"Yes."
After Grace and Harry left, there were only three people left in the house.
Russell took a sip of his glass and said, "Tomorrow morning there is an operation in the police station, and the police are speculating that it has something to do with the Bolsheviks." ”
"I know."
"You don't know, because Campbell's goal is you."
"Me?"
John couldn't help himself and said, "Don't talk nonsense......"
"John, shut up!"
Tommy turned his head to look at Russell, walked to the bar, took out the bottle, poured a glass of wine, and drank it down.
"Tell me more?"
Russell handed over the glass, Tommy poured him wine, and then he said, "It's very simple, you must already know that Campbell's purpose in landing in Birmingham is for that batch of munitions." And the arms are in your hands, and Campbell will definitely look for you......"
"What munitions?"
"Don't pretend, Tommy, you can't fool me. The arms are indeed in your hands, and you also put out the rumors, just to attract buyers to you, right? ”
Tommy frowned and asked, "Whose person are you?" ”
Russell shook his head: "No matter who I am, we are not enemies. ”
"Do you know Grace?"
"Yes."
John asked, "Is she your man?" ”
"Not really."
Tommy pointed to the blood stains on the ground and said, "You came to the tavern just to find me and tell me that the police department might target the Razors tomorrow?" ”
"Not exactly, my main goal is to work together for a win-win situation."
"Win-win cooperation? What can you offer us, in other words, how much money can you make us? ”
Russell laughed and said, "You're in control of the racehorses, and the horse racing business in Birmingham is Kempo's, and he's going to come to you and deal with you." ”
"You don't have to care......"
"No, I also know that you went to trouble the gypsies and wanted to take advantage of the conflict between the gypsies and the kempo to solve this matter and profit from it."
Tommy frowned and turned his head to look at John, who shook his head, "I don't know." ”
"Campo, who the hell are you?"
Russell knocked on the table and said, "What do you think?" ”
"Chief Inspector Campbell? The IRA? ”
"Tommy, use your brain, I've been on the battlefield like you and received a medal for bravery."
"Edward Short, Winston Churchill, ......"
"Okay, don't guess. Tommy, you just need to know that our goals are the same. ”
Tommy was silent for a moment, and based on his tentative thoughts, he thought that Russell Campo should be Edward Short's man, who was currently in charge of security and home affairs, and was the British Home Secretary.
"What do you want to do?"
Russell took out a cigarette and lit it, exhaled the smoke and said, "You have to help me get promoted, and I will help you win the racecourse in Kempo, and you will get a legal horse betting license." ”
"You need me to help you get promoted?" Tommy was surprised.
"Don't doubt it, think about it."
Tommy pondered as he drank that Chief Inspector Campbell was Churchill's man, and if Russell was Edward Short's man, then it would make sense.
Because Churchill is currently the Liberal's land and air secretary, Edward Short is Labour's home secretary.
"What do I have to give?"
Russell flicked his cigarette ash and said, "Tomorrow Campbell will send all the police forces in Birmingham to arrest the Bolsheviks openly and you razormen secretly, and all you need to do is leave Birmingham tonight." ”
"Leave? All? ”
"Yes."
Tommy was puzzled: "Why?" ”
"Because the arms are in your hands, I don't want Campbell to do merit."
"The arms are not in my hands! Lost, the arms are missing along with Kohli, the night you came to me. ”
"What? Then why did you release the news that the arms were in your hands? ”
"I need to confuse the police and others," Tommy said. ”
Hearing this, Russell frowned and stared at him, "Who will steal the arms?" ”
"Kempo, Italian, Jewish...... It's all possible. ”
Russell patted Tommy on the shoulder: "There is a traitor inside you, otherwise why would the arms be lost?" Since the arms are lost, there is no possibility for us to cooperate. ”
With that, he was about to walk away, but Tommy stopped him.
"No, of course we have the possibility of cooperation, you help me get a kenpo and a horse betting license, and I can help you get promoted."
Russell did not move, and did not speak.
Tommy continued: "We're leaving Birmingham tonight to escape disaster in the countryside, but Campbell will be assassinated in the early hours of tonight... Of course, he won't die..."
"The rumors are true?" Russell exclaimed.
"No, this rumor was not put out by me, but by someone else...... This man is very hidden, and I don't have a clue at the moment. ”
Russell glanced at Tommy, "Who's going to act?" ”
Tommy glanced at John, turned his head and pointed at Russell, "You! ”
"Don't be surprised, it's just you...... Because we've all left Birmingham and only the three of us know about it, John isn't a big mouth, he won't say it. And your alibi is the lady outside, can you get her? ”
Russell frowned and thought for a moment, then nodded slowly: "I agree, I hope you keep the agreement, otherwise I will slaughter you all." ”
"I know you're very good, don't worry, I'm not a treacherous person."
"Very good, nice to work with."
"It's a pleasure to work with."
The two knew very well that pretending to assassinate Campbell was not only a petition for Russell but also for the Shelby family.
It was Russell who did it, and it was the Shelby family who took the consequences......
