128. When I work, I am called a position, ransom and razor
Gary Lane, dotted with dim night lights.
The houses on both sides were pitch black, with the occasional red lantern flickering.
In an ancient building, in a room on the first floor.
Campbell was dressed in colorful and flamboyant clothes, wore a fancy green wig, and held a horsewhip in his hand.
At this moment, he looked at the few people in front of him with a dull expression.
His eyes were full of wonder and horror......
Russell and Zhang Qingquan held the camera in their hands, squinting up and down at him, and behind them stood several coolly dressed girls.
They looked excited, and there was a faint feeling of seeing the light through the clouds, which was a great sense of achievement and honor.
Russell handed the camera to Zhang Qingquan and motioned for him to let the girls leave immediately, and when there were only three people left in the room, Zhang Qingquan moved a chair.
After Russell sat down, he crossed his legs to light a cigarette, exhaled the smoke very skillfully, and said, "Mr. Campbell, may I ask what you will choose." ”
Faced with two unfair choices, Campbell wanted to jump out of bed and slap him twice, and even more wanted to shout and get angry......
However, he did not dare.
An aggrieved arrogance was congested in his abdomen, and the boss whose heart was propped up seemed to be about to burst.
Campbell took a deep breath and whispered, "What do I need to do?" ”
His attitude pleased Russell and he made three requests.
First, Campbell is going to write a letter of recommendation to the head of the Birmingham Police Academy, and the recommended people will be Russell's children, the number of 9.
Second, he was going to recommend Russell to Churchill and let Churchill meet him.
Third, Campbell will stay in this room for two weeks, and during these two weeks, Russell will act as assistant to the chief inspector, with full authority over the deployment of police officers throughout Birmingham.
Campbell looked horrified when he heard this, he really didn't expect it...... Russell went around in a big circle, and it would end up being such a requirement.
What capture, what Shelby family...... It's all a disguise!
He sat on the bed dressed brightly and nodded blankly.
Russell's demands must be acceded to, otherwise once the photograph is distributed, what awaits him will be the ridicule of the whole of England!
And bring endless disasters to the English royal family, Mr. Churchill, who will be targeted by hostile guests......
When the time comes, Campbell will really be a lost dog!
Churchill will not help him, but will kill him, because his existence has disgraced Churchill and the royal family!
Zhang Qingquan handed over the paper and pen, and Campbell looked up and said, "I didn't take the seal." ”
Russell took out the seal from his pocket and threw it to him, "I'll bring it for you." ”
Campbell took it and was stunned, then lowered his head and wrote.
A letter of recommendation to the Birmingham Police Academy, a copy of Russell's transfer post, all signed and stamped.
As for when to contact Churchill? Russell told him to wait until tomorrow's operation was over.
Just as Campbell was expecting Russell to leave, Zhang Qingquan walked in with a cigarette stick and stove in his hand.
"You can't do that to me!"
Russell pointed to the camera, "What should I do to you?" Mr. Campbell. ”
Zhang Qingquan waved his hand to let the two subordinates walk in and pressed Campbell......
Then, the two walked out the door.
Russell patted Zhang Qingquan on the shoulder, "What I promised you, I will do it." ”
"I will sit in the hall with Tangkou and say that he has always wanted to get in touch with official figures, but there is no channel."
"Now that he has, he'll be here for two weeks, keep an eye on him."
"Understood."
In a short period of time, Russell and Zhang Qingquan reached a cooperation, and both of them colluded together for the sake of interests.
The life of the Tang people in Birmingham is very difficult, even if they are oppressed by whites on weekdays, they have to pay heavy taxes to the police station, and even the police officers are deliberately targeted, even if they pay the money, they still do not leave their hands to bully.
Therefore, when Russell proposed cooperation, Zhang Qingquan gritted his teeth and agreed.
As long as Campbell is held in his hands, the way of life of the Tang people will have to change in the future.
Leave, Gary Lane.
Russell returned to Clearwater Lane, Grace's residence.
Entering the door, Grace was lying on the bed in her pajamas, she didn't turn her head when she heard the sound of the door lock, but bit her lip as if she had made up her mind.
"I know you didn't sleep, you didn't leave Birmingham, it looks like you figured it out."
Russell said as he undressed, "Campbell is not dead, I will leave him to you, don't you want to avenge your father with my own hands?" ”
Hearing this, Grace got up and sat on his side and looked at him, "Where is he?" ”
"In half a month, I will tell you, ...... now"
Grace looked at Russell's body, slowly stepped forward, grabbed his arm and let him lie flat on the head of the bed.
……
The sky turned white, and before the early sun rose, Russell left Qingshui Lane and went directly to the police station.
When he arrived at the police station, he saw more than a dozen officers sorting out their uniforms, and Russell went upstairs to Sergeant Moss, and photographed a transfer document.
Moss looked down and said with a shocked expression: "The chief inspector has something to do to go to London?" Let you act as the sole agent of the Birmingham Police as Assistant to the Chief Inspector? But ......"
Russell raised his hand and knocked on the table and asked indifferently, "Is the document real?" ”
"It's true, but why did the chief inspector leave in such a hurry, I didn't even ...... prepared"
"It's none of your business, understand?"
"But your file is a volunteer police ......"
Russell frowned and said, "You go and transfer the file out now, and then do an upgrade, is there any problem?" ”
"No... Mr. Campo..."
"Title during working hours!"
Moss took a deep breath and said, "Mr. High Assistant, I'm fine." ”
"Give you fifteen minutes to get things done and send them to the Inspector General's office."
"Yes."
The position of Chief Inspector in the United Kingdom is lower than that of the Superintendent and higher than that of the Senior Inspector, which can be understood as the post of Inspector General assigned by the London Police to the local police station......
The Senior Assistant Inspector is a position lower than the Senior Inspector and higher than the Inspector, which can be appointed by the Chief Inspector himself and is officially recognized.
Ten minutes later,
Sheriff Moss trimmed his file and showed it to Russell, and sent it for filing.
"The officers have assembled in the hall, waiting for your lecture."
Russell stood up and waved, "Let's go." ”
There are three sergeants in the Birmingham Police Department, as well as several chiefs of the Equipment Section and the Archives Warehouse.
These civilian officers from the Logistics Department will not be involved in today's operation, while Moss and the other two sergeants will need to take the lead......
In the hall, more than 70 police officers stand.
When Russell led the sheriffs in, the originally noisy hall immediately became silent.
And Mensa and Laito looked at him with shocked faces, their eyes full of incredulity!
"Chief Inspector Campbell has returned to London on official business, and the next step will be a senior assistant inspector appointed by me, Mr. Chief Inspector, to act as the policing officer in Birmingham."
"Today, we're going to have a clearance operation! Since the Inspector General came to Birmingham, he had heard so much about the lawlessness and the peace, and it all had to do with the Bolsheviks, the Irish Republican Army, and the notorious Razor! ”
"And our mission is to arrest the suspects at all costs!"
"The skies are going to clear in Birmingham, and the cloudy days are over!"
Suddenly, Russell scanned the crowd and called a name: "Mensa, come to To?" Come up. ”
Hearing this, the two stepped forward, Russell patted them on the shoulder, and then smiled, "You will be divided into five groups, led by three sheriffs and two of them!" ”
"Arrested suspects need to be held in a cell and released if their families pay the ransom...... And the ransom will be divided equally among everyone involved in the operation! ”
Suddenly, the police officers in the hall were excited.
Once there is a benefit, then these police officers are the opposite of the suspects, and they are no longer 'friends' who collude with each other.
Since the end of the First World War, the people of England have lived in misery, often hungry to steal food, and some people have been robbing at night for money.
Over time, these people formed an organization that constantly disturbed the peace in Birmingham, and they reaped a lot of money.
Sometimes when they are caught by the police, they only need to pay 1 pound, and the police will let them go in the first place.
But this time it was different, Russell gave the order in the capacity of a senior assistant inspector, which naturally represented the official.
The police officers don't have to worry about the criminals who are forced to write letters to report them for favoritism......
"Focus on the razor-party people! Let's go. ”
"Yes!
”
The officers shouted at the top of their voices.
They were issued with guns and ammunition, as well as shields and steel bars.
"Mensa and Laito, you two don't care who the others arrest, you take the people and me directly to the Shelby family's property, and arrest all the people inside."
"Yes!"
The two of them have a very good attitude, and they don't ask questions at all through the private relationship between the three of them.
When there was no one around, Russell smiled: "When I say make money, that's money." ”
Mensa was stunned when he heard this, and immediately said: "Sir, please rest assured, we will definitely listen to your arrangement!" ”
"That's right, it's up to you!"
--
Birmingham has a police force of only 70 people, and including volunteers.
In order to prevent them from ventilating the news, Russell asked the volunteer police officers to participate in the operation from two blocks away, arresting most of the people they did not know.
The sun had already risen, and the police officers poured out of their nests and ran towards the streets.
The three sheriffs arrested criminals in Clear Water Lane, Green Street, and Waterley Lane, while Russell took Mensa and Leto to a chocolate factory.
This is the Shelby family's property, and the manager is Uncle Charlie.
After more than 20 police officers surrounded the chocolate factory, Uncle Charlie and his son were the first to be arrested, and then several dishonest workers.
Then they went to the old tobacco docks and arrested all the members of the Shelby family.
There was no fire, and these people knew that going against the police would not end well......
Because what is black is not as good as what is white, this is an eternal truth.
By noon, the huge police station was nearly full.
It was a bit difficult for a police officer to take charge of three criminals, and there were more than 30 prisoners in the cell before, but now more than 100 prisoners, and the temporary detention center in the police station was also full.
Things with interests can naturally give people motivation.
The police worked hard all morning and arrested nearly 200 people!
Among them were members of the Shelby family, Bolsheviks, the Irish Republican Army, and Italians......
In short, as long as you have committed crimes on the street, no one has been left behind.
Of course, the suburbs and the countryside don't count, so there are no people at Camptown Racecourse, and there are no gypsies.
Russell asked Moss and the two sheriffs to preside over the work, Mensah and Leto as assistants, and collected a ransom of £5 per person!
£5 may be a bit difficult for the average person, but it is not difficult for these people who are on the streets.
"Except for the members of the Shelby family, none of them are allowed to be released!"
Moss replied, "Understood! Mr. Inspector, none of the core members of the Shelby family have been caught, and they seem to have learned the news in advance. ”
"I told Tommy to leave."
"......" Moss was stunned and nodded: "Mr. Inspector, foresight......"
Russell smiled, "I'm waiting for them to come to the door themselves and spread the news about my plenipotentiary acting chief inspector." ”
"Okay."
In the afternoon, he took time to go to Gary Lane.
When I saw Campbell, I saw that he was pale, and I knew that he was overdrawn.
I really don't know how many ...... Zhang Qingquan arranged for him
Campbell lay on the ground and begged, "Spare me, please." ”
"You are to call Mr. Churchill, and say what is written here, say the wrong word, and I will let you die in pleasure."
"Good, good! I hit. ”
Zhang Qingquan pulled the phone line from the next room, and the two stood next to him and stared.
After the phone was connected, Campbell looked at Russell carefully, and then obediently read out the words on the paper, and added many tone particles, which was very vivid.
"Mr. Churchill, I have something to report to you. I found a combat hero... Yes! He was awarded the Medal for Valor in the war and helped me fight the criminals. ”
"Yes, and he also helped me get the clues of the arms, and now I have asked him to track down the arms matter, I believe there will be news soon!"
When Churchill heard this, he was interested and said, "What's his name?" What is the identity. ”
"He is currently a volunteer policeman, but I have transferred him to the head of the operation team, and now he is the sheriff of our British Empire, loyal to the king! He is very bold and has a ...... mind."
"You admire him?"
"Yes! He is very courageous and takes care of his colleagues......"
"Let him come to London, I want to meet him."
"Okay, I'll give him your contact information later."
Hang up.
Campbell squeezed out a smile, "Can you let me go?" ”
"In two weeks, you'll be free."
After Zhang Qingquan withdrew the telephone line, he waved the two into the room.
Russell shook his head and said, "The dosage needs to be increased, he is very energetic." ”
"Understood."
"I didn't hide it from you, which shows that I trust you Tang people very much, and I hope that in the future, we will cooperate with Jincheng and make more money."
"Definitely! Please rest assured, we Tang people are the most righteous, and we rely on a letter to do things. ”
Russell smiled: "You still don't want to see me, which means that he is still waiting, right?" ”
"I'll tell you the truth, it's true. We've been deceived by whites too many times over the years and have to be careful. ”
