This time, Nottingham Jones's words finally aroused the interest of a group of British police officers, and everyone hid in hidden places and began to exchange ears.

Seeing this situation, a smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of Nottingham Jones's mouth, it seems that our British police are not without warriors! Isn't everyone's heart fluttering now?

But not long after he was happy, he immediately became disappointed, because everyone's discussion slowly disappeared from enthusiastic, but no one was willing to take the initiative to stand up.

This made his smiling face instantly retract, and his complexion became very ugly.

Yao Mu, who was squatting beside him, looked at his face, needless to say, he understood what was going on, and a trace of mockery flashed on his face, these British guys were arrogant one by one, and when they really wanted to fight hard, they were not as timid as a mouse.

Of course, his mocking expression also disappeared in a flash, and he didn't dare to let the other party find out, otherwise the other party would directly order him to go up, and he would have no place to cry.

In order to avoid attracting Nottingham Jones's attention, his body unconsciously lowered a few points.

In fact, it is no wonder that the British police are timid, the port city is just a British colony, they are just ordinary government employees, and they are responsible for managing the normal operation of the port city in the port city.

What's more, being a policeman in Hong Kong City is a lot of oil and water, and if he takes the initiative to stand up and is killed by the other party, he and his family will lose their source of livelihood. Between being promoted two levels in a row and dying to death, of course, no one will choose to fight for their lives.

Seeing that no one took the initiative to stand up, Nottingham Jones couldn't bear it anymore and said directly:

"I'm going to give you three minutes to think about it, and if after three minutes, no one is willing to come forward, I'm going to call them by name.

If the person I named dares to disobey the order, he will wait to be fired! ”

The police officers who had just quieted down, as soon as they heard this, suddenly became lively, and everyone couldn't help but greet the eighteenth generation of Nottingham Jones' ancestors fiercely in their hearts.

However, people have a fluke mentality, and at this time, no one is willing to take the initiative to stand up, and they all think that the person who will be named at that time may not necessarily be themselves. Therefore, after a period of excitement, everyone gradually returned to calm.

Time passed little by little, and Nottingham Jones's patience was worn out little by little, and he looked at the police officers hiding behind the car and did not dare to show his head, his teeth were clenched.

But he is a person who keeps his promises, and he says that he will give everyone three minutes, which is three minutes, and he will never break the rules he has set.

Raising his watch to look at the time, as the hands turned little by little, Nottingham Jones's face became more and more ugly, seeing that the time was coming, but no one was willing to take the initiative to stand up, what does this mean? It shows that he Nottingham Jones has no way to lead the army, and there are no available people under him.

If his superiors knew about it, his own image in the eyes of his superiors would be greatly reduced, which he absolutely did not want to see.

Soon, the three-minute time came to the end without the will of the people, but no one took the initiative to come forward, and Nottingham Jones, who had an extremely ugly face, could only grit his teeth and say:

"Since, no one wants to take the initiative to stand up......"

Just as everyone was praying to God that they wouldn't be singled out, everyone was waiting for Nottingham Jones to reveal the name of the last unlucky one.

A young man's voice came from the back of a truck.

"Sir, I'm willing to go!"

As soon as this voice came out, not only the British police officers let out a sigh, but their eyes followed the prestige, wanting to see who this person who saved them from fire and water, if this guy can come back alive, they must thank him well.

Even Nottingham Jones breathed a sigh of relief, who said that there are no warriors under me, isn't there someone who stepped forward at a critical moment? If this kid can get away with it, when he returns, he must set him up as a model and recommend him to the Commissioner of Police to be promoted at least two levels in a row.

Thinking with relief in my heart, my eyes involuntarily looked at the place where the sound came from.

I saw a young Chinese police officer in a navy blue winter police uniform, standing straight next to the truck, through the light of the street lamp, Nottingham Jones could see that this was a young Chinese man, who looked like Sven and wore a pair of black-framed glasses.

But at this moment, his military posture standing straight formed a huge contrast with the figure of the other police officers around him hiding behind the car and not daring to raise his head, which made Nottingham Jones's eyes light up, this is a real warrior! The good impression of this person in my heart instantly reached its peak.

But soon he reacted and hurriedly said:

"Are you Chinese? Do you know English? ”

The young man gave a British military salute with a "snap" and replied loudly:

"Yes, sir!"

Nottingham Jones secretly said in his heart that it was no wonder, because he had just listened to Yao Mu's words, and he only wanted to find someone who could speak English to communicate, so the first choice was the British police officer present, in this era when the general cultural level of the Chinese was not high, he never thought about looking for a Chinese who could speak English, after all, such a person is not nothing, but most of them will not be willing to be a policeman.

It wasn't until this time that he found out that there was such a talent under his command, and he couldn't help but start to be impressed by him, such a talent should be vigorously promoted by nature!

"Very well, come here. Tell me, what's your name? ”

When the young police officer heard the call, he hurriedly ran over and came to Nottingham Jones and half-squatted in front of the tunnel:

"Hello sir, my name is John Zeng, and I have been in the police force for two years."

"Huh! I've heard that you're a top student who came back from studying at Waseda University and Kyoto Imperial University in Japan, right? ”

When the young police officer said his name, Nottingham Jones immediately remembered who this person was, although he had not met this young man, but he had also heard of his name, he was a highly educated elite talent recruited by the police force from the society, and he was greatly used as soon as he entered the police force. At a young age, he was already a senior police officer.

"Yes, sir!"

The young man smiled a little shyly.

"Very well, John Tsang is an excellent Hong Kong City policeman, and your courage is worth learning from all of us. If you are able to complete the task successfully this time, I will definitely fulfill the promise I just made and personally write a letter of recommendation to the Commissioner of Police. ”

For his subordinates who dare to stand up for himself, Nottingham Jones will never break his promise, not to mention, the promise he just made was put forward in front of everyone, if he can't do it, he will have no prestige in the police force in the future, and no one will be willing to follow his orders.

"Yes, sir, please rest assured, I will successfully complete the mission."

Looking at the determined eyes of the young Chinese police officer, Nottingham Jones nodded with satisfaction and patted the other party's shoulder.

Yao Mu, who had been hiding beside Nottingham Jones and desperately lowering his sense of existence, also stood up at this time and looked at the young Chinese police officer in front of him with great appreciation, as if he saw his young figure.

"John Zeng, you are very good, you give us Chinese long faces. Later, if you encounter any difficulties in the police force, you will come to me directly. ”

Yao Mu didn't deliberately stand up to brush up on his sense of existence, he really admired young people who dared to fight, and the reason why he was able to achieve today's achievements was by daring to fight and fight. Now seeing that there is a young Chinese police officer standing up while everyone is flinching, how can he not like it.

For the new Inspector General Hua, who is highly respected among the Chinese police officers, he also threw an olive branch to himself, and John Zeng was even more happy.

excitedly saluted Yao Mu and said:

"Thank you, sir! I have always learned from your example, and it is your upbringing that has taught me the importance of courage. ”

Originally, Yao Mu, who only liked this young man, suddenly smiled when he heard this, such a promising young man must be vigorously cultivated.

"Good, good, very good!"

Yao Mu couldn't help but say three good words in a row to express his satisfaction with John Zeng.

The surrounding Chinese police officers only reacted at this moment, this kid is going to be lucky, but unfortunately Nottingham Jones has been speaking in English just now, they don't know what happened, but now it seems that he must have promised a great benefit.

Even the new Inspector Zonghua was full of admiration, indicating that this young man was about to soar soon. I just don't know what kind of task they want to perform, and if they have the opportunity, they will definitely go up without saying a word.

At this time, I have to say that it is too important to live in the police of Hong Kong City, and to be able to speak English. To talk about such a seemingly dangerous mission, those British old soldiers did not dare to stand up. But those Chinese police officers who live at the bottom don't think it's a big deal, isn't it just a matter of getting rich and rich?

In this day and age, human life is not worth much, and if you take a risk and have the opportunity to be promoted two levels in a row, at least half of the Chinese police officers present are willing to take a risk.

Unfortunately, they couldn't understand what Nottingham Jones was saying earlier. In addition, the other side is indeed a ghost, and Nottingham Jones will not be at ease to let a person who does not speak English recklessly break in.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Nottingham Jones was not polite, and nodded directly at John Zeng and said:

"Then I'll leave it to you next, you must figure out, what is the identity of the other party? What was the purpose of their visit to Port City? Why shoot here? Were there any casualties?

Also, see if you can talk to the other side and let them lay down their arms and settle the dispute here peacefully. ”

A series of questions were raised, and an ordinary police officer at the grassroots level might not be able to remember it, but a high-achieving student like John Zeng could easily understand what he meant.

Nodding earnestly, he said:

"Yes, sir!"

John Zeng's words are concise, but the tone is very resolute, which makes people feel very trustworthy when they hear it. Nottingham Jones nodded with satisfaction, patted him on the shoulder, and said:

"Good, don't let me down!"

Hearing this, John Zeng raised his eyes and glanced at the figure with a loaded gun under the street lamp not far away, and then turned his head and nodded at Nottingham Jones and Yao Mu.

After receiving a nod from the two of them, he untied the wooden stick hanging from his waist, slowly raised his hands and stood up, and walked towards the scene not far away.

Nottingham Jones frowned as he glanced at the stick he had placed on the ground.

During this period, Chinese uniformed police were not allowed to carry guns. Only plainclothes criminal investigation departments are allowed to issue revolvers to Chinese police officers.

"Yao Mu, such an excellent young man should be vigorously cultivated, if he can come back safely, send him to your Criminal Investigation Bureau."

As soon as Yao Mu heard this, he understood that John Zeng had completely fallen into the eyes of Nottingham Jones, and he himself liked this excellent young man very much, and of course he would not be stingy with promotion. So, without hesitation, I nodded and said:

"Yes, sir. Such an outstanding young man should indeed be promoted.

With you writing a letter of recommendation for him, he will soon be promoted to the rank of sergeant of the police station, and when the time comes, it will be more than enough to come to our Criminal Investigation Bureau and directly serve as a team leader.

After another year or so, we can hand over the Criminal Investigation Bureau to him. ”
