Chapter 144: Nobles help each other

"Damn...... Can anyone tell me what they're talking about? ”

With an impatient expression, Moffett pulled out a cigarette and lit it, exhaling a puff of smoke.

"Boss, this trick doesn't seem to work, he is not a suspect after all, he was just brought back with the investigation."

Another policeman duly reminded his sheriff, suggesting that this was not a solution.

"Hmm...... Looks like we have to give him something hard! These cunning yellow-skinned monkeys ......"

Sergeant Murphyt walked out of the room with an angry look on his face and entered the next inquiry room.

Just when Zhou Yu and Leswood determined the development route of the factory in half a year, the door of the inquiry room was finally pushed open.

Zhou Yu looked at the visitor with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and there was no impatient and anxious look on his face.

"Hmm...... Are you Bruce Chow? ”

Moffett asked, sitting across the square table.

"Sir, didn't you know my name and identity before you invited me here? I'm a law-abiding businessman and I have a lot of work to do, so please get straight to the point and don't waste time on both of us. ”

Moffett's cheek muscles stiffened, and he subconsciously wanted to slap the table and explode.

At this moment, a policeman hurriedly ran into the inquiry room, approached Moffett and whispered in his ear: "Chief, someone from the English embassy has come to ask if their manager Bruce Zhou can leave...... Other than that...... Washington has just sent a telegram asking about it. ”

"What did you say?"

Moffett thought that he had misheard, and was stunned for a while before he reacted, and the Chinese on the other side seemed to be able to handle it at will, but in fact, the energy behind it was so great that he couldn't imagine it.

"What the hell ......!"

Moffett now regrets a little, regretting that he didn't hear about Zhou Yu in the first place, but wasted an hour in vain, and heard some useless nonsense.

Zhou Yu guessed what was going on just by seeing the other party's expression.

Before leaving, he asked Ah Ghost to inform Madil and the Ford owner who had a happy deal, just to reveal his situation to the other party in disguise.

He knew that he couldn't go directly to Edsel Ford for an errand, and the friendship between them hadn't reached that point, so he asked David to use the last car draft as a topic, and to show that he still had something that the other party was interested in.

It's just that Zhou Yu probably didn't expect that the relationship between the Ford family was far deeper than he imagined.

"That ......" Moffett hesitated for a moment, scolded "shit" in his heart, and reluctantly changed his smile.

"Mr. Bruce Chow, I'm sorry for taking up an hour of your time, we just wanted to give you some details of the Chinatown Homicide......"

Zhou Yu saw the sudden change in the sheriff's attitude, and he was even more sure of his guess.

"Mr. Sheriff, as a legitimate businessman, I will naturally cooperate with you in handling the case, but I know no more than what is written in the newspaper, and there are many suspicious points in this case, and even two councillors are involved, so ......"

Zhou Yu didn't say anything, just threw a hook that he wasn't sure about, and let Moffett make up for it in his own brain.

He didn't know what the sheriff had in mind, but the other party's face was extremely unsightly.

"Hmm...... Excuse me sir, you can leave. ”

Moffett struggled inwardly for a while, but he really didn't have the right to keep Zhou Yu behind, and the English embassy and Washington were all asking about it, wasn't this for this person?

Zhou Yu was funny in his heart, but he still looked like a polite gentleman on the surface, and walked out of the police station with Leswood.

Outside the police station, Madier was waiting there in a straight suit, and when he saw Zhou Yu coming out, he greeted him as soon as he saw him.

"Mr. Zhou, are you alright? Did they ever do anything rude to you? New York's justice system is just too much! Actually took our general manager without the Herberts' knowledge! I will send a telegram back to London to inform the Earl of this!" ”

Madir said righteously, although he was asking Zhou Yu, but these words were said to the policemen behind him.

That's right, although the federal government of the New World has become an international upstart after World War I, and its strength has grown substantially, England is an old capital country after all, and its hard power should not be underestimated.

What's more, Williams is still a rising star in London politics, even if the federal government is interested in making friends, how can a little Sheriff Moffitt offend?

At this moment, his forehead was already covered with beads of sweat, and he could only squeeze out a smile and keep apologizing.

"Forget it, they're also routine, don't blame them."

Zhou Yu was quite generous and did not pursue it, but just exchanged glances with Madil, got into the latter's car and left here.

"Mr. Zhou, this matter seems to involve a lot, if we can, we should not get involved, otherwise it will not be easy for me to do it."

In the car, Madir euphemistically expressed his meaning, after all, his identity is just a diplomatic martial arts, if he always meddles in local affairs, it is easy to be truthful, and if he is not good, he will be treated as a spy.

Zhou Yu understood what he meant, and immediately replied: "I'm sorry for you, I can only say that this matter has nothing to do with me, but no one can predict what the follow-up development will be, but it will never make Madil embarrassing you." ”

"Uh...... Mr. Zhou, I didn't mean that......"

Zhou Yu motioned to the other party without explanation, and said very sincerely: "Although Williams and I are friends, we still have to distinguish between public and private, not to mention that I can't always move your Herbert family out as a shield, after all, this is the New World, and it has its own set of styles...... Well...... I'll have to speed up my plans, too. ”

Thanking Madil again for his help, Zhou Yu got out of the car early and prepared to go to the Ford sales office in the city center to meet another nobleman.

In the second block east of the Flatiron Building, Zhou Yu found Edsel Ford, who was standing on a wooden box to promote his car like last time.

"Hi ~ Mr. Ford ~ "

Zhou Yu stood where the other party could see him and waved his hand.

Seeing a hint of joy on Zhou Yu's face, Edselford put down the megaphone in his hand, stretched out his right hand and said, "It's a pleasure to see you again, Mr. Zhou." ”

"Would you like a cup of coffee?" I please. ”

Zhou Yu pointed to the café where the two of them had visited last time.

"Hehe~ I'm honored."

The two of them walked into the café one after the other and picked the same seats as last time.

After sitting down, Zhou Yu ordered two cups of coffee first, and then said straight to the point: "Thank you, Mr. Ford." ”

He didn't say anything specific, but Edselford knew it.

The latter pursed his lips and smiled insincerely.

"Hmm...... You can call me Edsel, Mr. Zhou, but my father decided on this matter, and he is also quite interested in the manuscript you provided last time, and is discussing the feasibility of it with the engineers. ”

"Oh? Being appreciated by Ling Zun made me feel terrified. ”

Zhou Yu keenly sensed a hint of other meaning from the tone and expression of the other party.

He remembered that although this Edsel had been at the helm of Ford for a while, the actual decision-maker behind it was still his father, Henry Ford.

Zhou Yu saw that the other party had something on his mind, and thought for a while: "By the way, Edsel, I came to you this time to have some new ideas that I want to communicate with you, and it is about the possibility of hydraulic brakes in cars." ”
