Birmingham, southern suburbs.

A clearing in the middle of a lush wood.

Tommy stood beside the grass in the mountain bag and let out an angry roar at the police officers led by Russell in the clearing.

Arthur, one of his two brothers, was clutching his arm because he had been shot in the arm and was bleeding.

】

John was being dragged by Aunt Polly, with a little Finn hanging from his leg.

As for Ada, the fourth eldest of the Shelby family, he sat on the ground, grabbed the back of Freddy's neck with both hands, and dragged his body on his lap.

Her eyes stared blankly at Freddy's face, tears streaming down her eyes like a drizzle of rain that dripped on the grass and poured the first waves of spring on them.

In the clearing, Russell put down his gun and looked at Tommy with a smile on his face, and behind him were 12 police officers, including Mensa and Laito, who were aiming their spears at Tommy and his family.

As soon as Mr. Inspector gives the order, then they will pull the trigger.

Tommy's anger seemed to Russell like a wild boar facing the muzzle of a hunter's gun, only letting out a hissing of missing strings, and his limbs trembled slightly and moved backwards, with some intention of escaping.

"Campo, you deceived me!"

Russell shook his head calmly: "No, it was you who broke the agreement." You asked me to come here to meet you, but you tried to kill me, and I was just fighting back. The man who died was a Bolshevik, and I can charge the Shelby family with shielding the Bolsheviks, and take you all to the police station and wait for the judge's trial! ”

Tommy gasped for air, he really didn't understand why Campo was so painful to kill the killer.

At that time, he saw Russell rushing into the grass alone, and he really wanted to kill him, and he was gone.

Unexpectedly, Russell reacted quickly, and when Freddy was about to raise his gun, he reacted and fired two shots fiercely, killing Freddy directly.

And Arthur was also excited, touched the grass, and was discovered by Russell, so he was shot in the arm.

"Why don't you wait for me to talk?"

Russell smiled: "Talk? With the gun in your hand, or the bullet in the gun? ”

"No, I mean in the real sense of the word."

Russell frowned and said: "You haven't figured out the current situation, I am a senior assistant inspector in Birmingham, with full authority to act as the police in Birmingham, and I can call on all police forces." And you are Birmingham's most notorious Razor leader! Now, do you understand the gap in our identity? ”

Tommy looked back, and he saw Ada's heartbreak, as well as the hateful faces of Aunt Polly and the two brothers.

It all came too fast, too suddenly.

So much so that Tommy didn't even have time to prepare, he was living a normal life for the first few days, and on the night he teamed up with Russell Campo, it changed drastically.

Tommy originally thought Russell Campo had died that night, but was killed by Campbell's counterattack.

But he didn't expect that Campo would win, and he personally led the police to raid the Shelby family's chocolate factory and other factories and docks, arresting most of the family's middle-level pillars and low-level members, and bringing his business to a direct halt......

I didn't expect Campo to act so decisively...... What shocked Tommy was that he went from a volunteer police officer to a senior assistant inspector overnight, taking control of all the security forces of the Birmingham Police Department!

This...... It can no longer be described as shock, but horror.

Although, he didn't know what methods Russell used, this vigorous and ruthless style made Tommy smell a hint of the hunter descending the mountain.

"Mr. Campo, what do you need me to do?"

Russell pointed to the family behind him and said, "They are a burden to your career, maybe you should make a choice." ”

"......" Tommy was speechless.

Behind him, Arthur and John shouted with fangs, "You want to die......"

"Shut up!"

Tommy looked up at the sky, he knew that he was the only one in the family who wanted to improve, and everyone else was holding him back, but he couldn't abandon his family, what was the difference between that and livestock?

The reason why people are human beings is because there is emotional collusion and blood bonding......

The change of mood and thoughts is acquired, Tommy does not dare to say that no one can betray him in the future, but he cannot betray his family first.

"Mr. Campo, I can't betray my family and make a deal with the devil."

Russell smiled: "Haha, of course! I'm just tempting, I don't have to take it personally. Your family is all intact, and that Bolshevik doesn't seem to have much to do with you, I don't want to pursue it. ”

Tommy was speechless.

Ida put down Freddy's body, stood up with a blank face, and walked over to Russell, her two fists clenched.

Walked up to Russell and looked up.

"I'm going to kill you!"

Russell's eyes shrank, and he saw Ada's fist swing over.

Tommy shouted "Ada, don't ......"

But his voice was a little small, and Russell raised his hand to grab Ada's arm, and kicked it over.

Burst-

Ada flew backwards two or three meters, knelt directly on the ground and fainted.

"I never hit a woman unless my life is threatened. Tommy, if you don't want your family to die, take care of them. ”

Tommy gritted his teeth and responded, "I understand, I promise there won't be a next time." ”

John, along with Arthur and Aunt Polly, had eyes that turned into knives and slashed Russell's body, separating him from flesh and bones, cramping and drinking blood......

Aunt Polly couldn't help but exclaim, "Campo, you also have a family, you have four children!" ”

Russell frowned and glanced at Tommy with a chuckle, but he didn't say anything.

He stepped forward, stood in front of Polly, and raised his hand to slap him.

Polly's legs went limp, and he collapsed to the ground.

Arthur and John were furious and pounced directly.

Russell kicked them out with both kicks, then turned around and said, "Tommy, your family is challenging my bottom line." ”

"Mr. Campo, I'll take care of them. I apologize to you on their behalf......"

"If an apology helps, why did I hit them? Tommy, it's not your fault. ”

Russell didn't look at the people lying on the ground, walked up to Tommy and patted him on the shoulder.

"The Razors are being held at the police station, and each of them has a ransom of £10, and you have to pay the ransom in person and sign it."

Tommy frowned, "I... I've heard that the ransom for others is £5. ”

"Think about how much trouble you can get in the future with the extra £5 you pay. Besides, you can make a lot of money betting on horses, right? ”

"Yes."

Russell waved his hand and said: "In two days, we will talk in detail, and the cooperation has not ended." ”

Tommy nodded, "Okay." ”

After saying that, Russell left the open space with the people and returned to the Birmingham Police Station.

And the police officers who followed him to the southern suburbs today will also be reused in the future, especially Mensa and Laito.

After they left, Tommy rubbed his face and walked over to Ada's side to take a look, only to see that she had just fainted and was fine.

The day before yesterday, he learned that Ida and Freddy had a leg, and that was when the police went on a rampage to arrest criminals, Bolsheviks, and the Irish Republican Army.

On the eve of the capture, Freddy received a note from Ada, telling him that the family had taken refuge in the southern suburbs......

Then Freddy also came to the southern suburbs to avoid arrest, and met Tommy, who was not exposed at first, but when men and women were together, it was dry wood and fire, and it was a little loud at night, and Aunt Polly heard it.

Tommy naturally knew, he grabbed Freddy and asked, and Freddy's answer was: I liked Ida when I was 12 years old, she was only 8 years old at that time, I waited for so many years just for such a day, we are real love!

Tommy's heart did not allow his family to come into contact with the Bolsheviks, and those people were crazy......

I was thinking about how to deal with the relationship between Freddy and Ada, but I didn't expect Russell to shoot Freddy to death as soon as he came!

Freddy's body was also taken away.

So, Tommy's mood is a mixed bag of sadness and lightness.

Knowing Russell Campo's strength, Tommy was on his feet in a short period of time, and he had to find a way out for the sake of his family and himself.

At this stage, Russell is the best backer!

Tommy turned to look at his family members who were stunned on the ground and said, "We almost died, but we survived." ”

Arthur clutched his abdomen and arms, gritted his teeth, and said, "Damn! Campo fucking damned, we should have killed him! ”

"We're razor, and we're being bullied like this by a volunteer policeman......"

Polly seemed to grasp the crux of the situation, saying: "Don't be angry about impotence, we need to see the facts." Overnight, Campo took control of the Birmingham Police Department, and we were just rats begging around. ”

"Fuck the rats! Give me a gun, I'm going to kill him!" ”

Arthur impulsively strode forward, as if to chase Russell's footsteps, and then give him a shot.

"Arthur, the gun is in your hand, why didn't you shoot just now?"

Hearing this, Arthur stopped and stiffened his head to stare at Tommy.

Tommy sighed, "We're all cowards...... John helped Ida up, let's go back. ”

"Where are you going?"

"Go home! Pay the ransom. ”

--

Back at the police station, everything went smoothly.

The officers were quite energetic in patrolling the streets and arresting the suspects.

The criminals who were released back home hid in dark corners and did not dare to hang out unscrupulously.

Because the officers will arrest them to the police station a second time......

Until Russell's order is withdrawn, the officers who have benefited will continue to do it.

Three cars were parked in the police yard and a body was carried down.

Mensa spoke loudly to his colleagues, "This is the culprit who disturbed the law and order in Birmingham and provoked the factory workers to strike!" Our Senior Assistant Inspector, Mr. Russell Campo personally shot him dead. ”

The surrounding police officers shouted that Mr. Campo was awesome and lifted him to new heights.

It is a prestige, something that must be present in the life of a person in power.

Inspector Campo should establish a good leadership image of taking care of his subordinates internally, and a good inspector image of a criminal nemesis externally, so that the people like him and love him...... And at the same time afraid of him.

Office of the Inspector General.

Russell called the three Sheriff Moss, who were standing at their desks, very respectful.

"Mr. Inspector, please command." Moss said.

Although Russell's position is temporary, who knows what the future holds?

Campbell has been in Birmingham for a few days, what has he done?

But as soon as Russell took office, he brought extra money to the police officers, and led ten police officers to shoot and kill the culprits who disturbed the law and order, and brought blue skies and white clouds to Birmingham's law and order.

"How much money do you have left in the police account?"

The three sergeants were stunned for a moment, indicating that they did not know.

This is the responsibility of the Finance Section.

"For £500, I'm going to London tomorrow to see Mr. Churchill."

In fact, Russell just used such an excuse to reveal a piece of information to them.

"You, you're going to see Mr. Churchill?"

Moss pulled the talkative sheriff next to him and said, "Okay, no problem." I'll go explain it to the finance section. ”

"After I leave, you have to lift your spirits, I don't want to die and fight with the gangs."

"Rest assured, we'll take turns patrolling the streets."

"Let's get out."

"Okay."

The three sheriffs left, and it wasn't long before Mensa and Laito walked in.

“boss。”

Russell held a cigarette, pointed to the couch and said, "Sit down." ”

"Boss, let's just stand."

"Sit down, we don't need to be so careful about our relationship. You are the ones who invested in my low years, and I naturally want to give you a hand. ”

Hearing this, the two were no longer polite and sat on the sofa.

Russell smiled and said, "You should go and get to know Camptown Racecourse, where the races are exciting, and of course the most important thing is the people. ”

Mensa knew that Mr. Campo would deal with Kempo, after all, Kempo's racecourse was too profitable, and they were still doing some shady business underground, and I heard that they had made munitions.

Ammunition?

Mensa asked carefully, "Boss, could it be that Kempo stole the arms?" No, it should have been the Shelby family who stole the arms first, and then were cut off by Kempo? ”

"I think Kampo must have a large amount of arms in his hands, and his relationship is with the regular customers, and he gives a lot of money to the regular customers every year!" ”

"You'll find out later. First of all, I asked Kempo about his strength, and how many of his subordinates he had, as well as the list of subordinates and his family. ”

"Understood."

"The ten people who went to the southern suburbs today will be transferred to the criminal investigation team first, and you will be the leader and deputy leader of the second special investigation team. Rest assured, your transfer will be signed by Mr. Edward Short, and perhaps Mr. Churchill will meet with me. ”

Hearing this, Mensa and Laito became excited.

Edward Short and Winster Churchill?

Sky!

Mr. Campo really has a super strong backing, two cabinet ministers!

The layman would certainly think that Edward and Churchill were rivals, but in fact they were, but it was for the other parties.

Edward belonged to the Labour Party, and at the end of the First World War, the Labour Party leaned towards the Liberal Party, and with the support of the Liberal Party, it formed a coalition cabinet, which can be regarded as a subordinate brother.

For example, Tommy was misled by Russell before, so Tommy's judgment was wrong.

Why didn't he want to think about it, if Churchill and Edward were really enemies, then why did Campbell, who Churchill sent to Birmingham, go so well? Why is there no one to stumble him, but all affairs are in charge of him.

In the evening, Mensa drove Russell to the train station, and after boarding the black train, Russell rested for a while.

The two-hour drive was not boring, as Russell had reimagined the meeting with Churchill in his head.

After getting off the train, Churchill's men came to pick him up and drop him off at a luxury hotel.

"The Minister will meet you tomorrow at ten o'clock in the restaurant of the Conrad Hotel."

That night, Russell slept in a queen room at the Conrad Hotel.

When he woke up, breakfast was delivered to his door, and he simply ate it.

When Churchill's subordinates knocked on the door, Russell followed him to the dining room and met the stocky Mr. Churchill.
